Chapter 136 The unique flavor of soy sauce

The spring is bright and the warm sun shines on every piece of land in Daqin. The first snow gradually melts and turns into snow water to nourish the soil.

The pleasant and wonderful annual holiday ended, and the workers in Xianyang began their hard work in the new year, and the students of the academy also returned to the academy one after another.

Qian Duo, who was obviously fatter, hummed a little tune and got into the carriage early with his bulging luggage on his back.

After arriving at the academy, Qian Duo rushed to check the fermentation of the soy sauce.

"Mmm~ It smells so good!"

After opening the lid, the rich aroma of sauce hit him in the face, and Qian Duo couldn't help but squint his eyes and sigh in intoxication.

He didn't expect that this black liquid would be so mellow after brewing. He must have tasted good. He took out the prepared bowl and carefully scooped a spoonful of soy sauce from the ceramic jar.

Qian Duo dipped his finger in the bean paste and put it in his mouth to taste it. In an instant, the mellow bean aroma and the unique fresh fragrance blended together, stimulating his taste buds and causing him to secrete more saliva.

"It's so delicious! It tastes great as a dip for steamed buns, and it's even better when cooking."

"This soy sauce should be brewed successfully, but let's still test it."

So Qian Duo scooped another full bowl of soy sauce and prepared to go to the cafeteria to ask the aunties to fry a few dishes for him to try.

The canteen kitchen was bustling with activity.

The wheat aroma of steamed buns, the sweet taste of sweet potatoes, the spicy taste of peppers, and the aroma of various vegetables mixed together make people salivate.

Qian Duo went to great lengths to persuade the aunts in the cafeteria to agree to the soy sauce experiment by invoking the title of the Empress.

The woman in charge of the kitchen stared at the black liquid with suspicion written all over her face. The curious eyes of the others also showed disgust. Could this stuff be the same as frog sauce?

"Young man, are you sure this is edible?"

"Auntie, yes, this thing is called soy sauce. It is made by fermenting beans for several months. It has a mellow taste..."

"Okay, okay, I don't understand this. Anyway, if the food is not tasty, you have to eat it all and not waste it."

"Yes, yes, thank you very much."

A moment later, a dish of stir-fried cabbage, a dish of stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and a dish of leek and egg drop soup were placed on the table.

Looking at the delicious dishes, Qian Duo's stomach growled. He quickly took a pair of chopsticks and started to taste them.

First up is the cabbage. Its usually bland taste now becomes rich in flavor, with the aroma of the sauce perfectly absorbed into the stems, blending with its own sweetness to create a unique flavor.

Next is the stir-fried pork with chili peppers. The bright-colored pork tenderloin paired with bright red chili peppers looks particularly tempting. The spicy, meaty, and saucey flavors burst on your tongue with one bite, making you unable to stop.

Even the most ordinary chive egg drop soup has a unique flavor.

Qian Duo ate voraciously, his round face full of enjoyment, and his eating posture whetted the appetites of those around him.

"Aren't these just ordinary meals? Why are you eating so happily?"

"Could it be that adding some soy sauce makes it a delicacy?"

"Hey hey hey... I'm so greedy, I want to try it too."

Seeing the dishes dwindling rapidly, the aunties in the cafeteria could no longer control themselves. They all started drooling and picked up their chopsticks to grab the food.

In the Qin Dynasty, where condiments were scarce, soy sauce undoubtedly had a huge impact. Women who usually only used salt when cooking experienced the delicious taste of soy sauce for the first time.

Everyone took a bite of steamed buns and a bite of vegetables, and soon the three plates of food were swept away. The aunts, whose appetites were whetted, immediately turned their attention to Qian Duo.

"Hey young man, do you have any more soy sauce? Give some to Auntie."

"Yes, yes, Auntie doesn't want it for nothing. How much can you sell it for?"

“…”

"Excuse me, aunties, these soy sauces are part of our business school research project and need to be handed over to the teacher."

Zhuozhuo stared at Qian Duo, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, and he hurriedly explained.

But after seeing the disappointment on the women's faces, he couldn't bear it and told them in advance that the soy sauce would be sold at the supply and marketing cooperative later.

The women, now hopeful, finally paid more money and continued to work, not forgetting to discuss the deliciousness of the soy sauce.

In the afternoon, inside Qinian Palace.

Chu Yuening looked at the black liquid in the dish, sniffed it carefully, and found that it was indeed brewed successfully.

She dipped some with her chopsticks to taste it, and found that the taste was indeed very similar to modern soy sauce.

It seems that both the soy sauce factory and the soap factory can be opened. Of course, it is not for the sake of merit. Now that she has millions of merits, she no longer cares about these little things.

The main purpose of opening a new factory is to improve people's livelihood, provide jobs and solve employment problems.

In the future, Xianyang will truly become the economic capital of the Qin Dynasty, and its influence will radiate throughout the country, gradually boosting the economies of other counties.

In addition, Chu Yuening also plans to appoint business school students as managers of the new factory to train a group of entrepreneurs to serve the country.

At dinner time, as soon as Ying Zheng came back, Chu Yuening immediately told him about the new factory.

"Well, don't worry, Yue Ning, I will arrange this matter tomorrow."

Although Ying Zheng did not want his young wife to work hard and worry, since she loved her career, he would respect and support her and eliminate her worries.

The man's eyes were clear and contained an ocean-like tolerance. Chu Yuening couldn't help but smile. His smile was bright and beautiful, like a peach blossom just blooming on a branch, carrying a fresh breath of life.

Chu Yuening has never been a dodder. She has a stubbornness and pride in her bones, which always urges her to move forward. Nothing can restrain or hinder her.

She is Chu Yuening first, and then a mother.

"A Zheng, try the braised pork. It's stewed with soy sauce and has a great flavor."
