Chapter 359
After Li Tai left, Su Chen wrote an article about finding patients with intestinal abscesses, and asked the pork delivery person to send it to the bookstore for submission tomorrow.
The contact address is set at the bookstore.
It is estimated that someone will contact you in three or five days.
In a blink of an eye, it is lunch time.
Except for weekends, Changsun Yao and Fang Jingyi rarely go back to the manor for lunch, but now there are Li Chengqian and Li Dejian.
"Dejian, where did you go this morning?" Li Chengqian asked.
"I was watching the craftsmen working at the pig house construction site with the King of Chu." Li Dejian has no interest in explosives, and he will not read any books with Li Chengqian.
Building houses is his hobby.
Not long after, Princess Changle and Jin'er came to the restaurant with Xiao Sizi.
Su Chen glanced at her, and Princess Changle had changed her clothes.
"Everyone is here, let's eat!"
"Tofu should be eaten hot!"
Su Chen saw that Princess Changle and the others had already taken their seats, and urged everyone to eat.
"Lizhi, there is a new dish today, pig blood tofu, you try it." Su Chen picked up the public spoon and poured it into her bowl.
"Yes!" Princess Changle smiled and nodded.
"Little Sizi, come! You also eat some pig blood, it's good for your body." Su Chen helped Little Sizi to get another spoonful of pig blood tofu.
But Little Sizi didn't seem very interested, perhaps because he felt a little strange when he heard about pig blood.
However, he still tasted a little bit of pig blood tofu in small mouthfuls. After tasting it, his eyes lit up and he said in surprise:
"Wow! Delicious!"
Su Chen smiled slightly, took chopsticks and ate by himself, thinking that he would have someone send some pig blood tofu to the palace next time.
"Boy, how many days will it take to build the pig house?" Su Chen asked casually while eating.
"There are 70 craftsmen and more than 100 assistants. It is expected to be completed in half a month." Li You thought for a while and answered.
The newly built pig house is a bit large, and can accommodate a total of 500 sows to give birth and feed piglets.
An adult sow can give birth twice a year, which is not a small scale.
"Well, pork has been on the market for six days, can all the pork be sold every day?" Su Chen continued to ask. He didn't know how the people of Chang'an reacted to pork on the table.
"The two pork shops sell all the pork before 9 am every day, and there is no offal left."
Li You then continued: "I am planning to slaughter two more pigs every day, brother-in-law, do you think it's okay?"
The two pork shops only prepared pork from two pigs every day, which was not enough to sell.
"You can decide for yourself, but those restaurants can only limit half a pig. Also, let the butchers pay attention to whether there are many people buying pork."
Su Chen roughly estimated that there are only more than 400 pigs for sale now. Some sows may fail to conceive, so there are at most 600 pigs that can be sold.
More than a dozen pigs are slaughtered every day, and they are sold out in less than two months.
Li You nodded, "Okay!"
The income from selling pork these days totaled 105 strings of cash. It was only three days since the restaurants in Chang'an contacted to order pigs, and the pork shop opened on the same day.
In the first three days, it was only sold in Leshan Restaurant. Leshan Restaurant sold two pigs every day at a fixed price of four strings of cash.
On average, a slaughtered pig can be sold for about 2,500 copper coins.

"Su Chen, aren't you cold wearing such thin clothes?"
After lunch, Princess Changle and Su Chen chatted in the study.
"I'm not cold! You forgot that my mother brought me some clothes last time, but I didn't wear them.
Look! I'm wearing thermal underwear, one piece is worth three."
Su Chen slightly opened the collar on his chest, revealing the pure white thermal underwear inside.
Su Chen is still wearing the ancient costume he drew before. It looks out of place with the thick round-necked robes worn by Li Tai and others.
Princess Changle found Su Chen's actions funny.
Suddenly she remembered the thermal underwear Su Chen gave her, which she hadn't had time to choose when she changed clothes before.
"By the way, let me ask you, do you have the habit of drinking brown sugar water?"
"Brown sugar?" Princess Changle shook her head.
"Brown sugar is yellow sugar. I've eaten it in cakes." Su Chen explained.
"I've never drunk it before. Is drinking brown sugar water good for your health?"
"Yes, especially for you... At this time, I'll have someone make some now." Su Chen stood up and walked outside, ordering the servants to prepare brown sugar and boiling water.
Princess Changle smiled slightly and nodded.
"Also, you'd better not wash your hair and take a bath these days. Don't touch cold water, or you might catch a cold." Su Chen reminded seriously after returning to the study.
"I know all this. My mother taught me." Princess Changle lowered her head and whispered.
"Uh, that's right, you have more experience than me." Su Chen also felt a little embarrassed instantly.
"Puff!"Princess Changle suddenly sneered. She didn't believe Su Chen had any experience in that area.
Su Chen was not a woman.
Ten minutes later, the servant came to the door of the study room with a kettle and a tray in his hand.
"My Lord, the boiling water and brown sugar are ready!"
"Okay, I'll do it!" Su Chen stood up and took the tray and kettle from the servant.
After a while, Su Chen succeeded in making brown sugar water for the first time.
The brown sugar was completely melted, and the sugar water was dark brown.
"Lizhi, drink it while it's hot!"
Su Chen handed the sugar water to Princess Changle and urged.
"Okay!"
Princess Changle picked up the glass bowl and carefully tried it with her lips. "Too hot!" Then, she looked at Su Chen with pitiful and begging eyes.
"Well, then be careful and drink it slowly!"
Su Chen couldn't handle the look in Princess Changle's eyes at all.
Princess Changle smiled coquettishly, put down the sugar water, and stared at Su Chen with her hands on her cheeks.
Su Chen, who was sitting opposite, felt very uncomfortable, "What's wrong with you?"
Princess Changle shook her head and asked lazily, "How do you know so much?"
"Well, maybe I was born with it, it's not worth mentioning!"
Su Chen answered modestly.
Princess Changle nodded very cooperatively, "You are really amazing, I admire you very much!"
They looked at each other in silence for a short time...
Finally, the cuckold checked out, unable to hold it back.
Su Chen couldn't stand being stared at by Princess Changle like that, although he usually took advantage of her.
But Su Chen was still the type with a thin face.
"I heard from Li Tai and others that Lingnan would pay tribute to Chang'an with sugarcane every year. Do you know when they usually pay tribute?"
Su Chen wondered if he could get some white sugar to add to the gunpowder first.
Let's try the explosives with sugar added. Is it really as powerful as the rumors say? What about adding sugar to make Ivan.
"I don't remember the exact time, I just know it's usually before New Year's Eve."
Princess Changle put down her hands and tried to recall, but she really didn't remember.
"Is that so? I'll ask my brother-in-law later."
"It's almost hot now. Drink it quickly. I'll take you to school later." Su Chen looked at the brown sugar water and urged again.
"Oh!"
Princess Changle picked up the brown sugar water and tested the temperature.
Then she drank it slowly.
