Chapter 565 The stimulation of happiness
Zhou Xu sat directly beside the big pot and started eating. He ate two kilograms of mutton in one breath to fill his stomach, and then slowly slowed down his eating pace.
At the same time, I'm feeling a bit lazy right now...
"What a pity! It would be nice if we could have some soy sauce and vinegar."
To put it simply, his seasoning bowl contains a simplified version of chili powder that he recently made himself, some mashed garlic, and some animal oil.
This bowl of ingredients is considered super luxurious in this era of scarce seasonings.
But humans are greedy creatures. After tasting good things, they want better things! In this regard, Zhou Xu, as a modern man who has seen all kinds of things, is even more so.
But now he could only complain a little. After all, before he traveled through time, as a normal person who was not in the relevant industry, who would study how to make soy sauce and vinegar? How free did he have to be on weekdays?
Just as Zhou Xu was thinking this, Bam's voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Zhou Hongxu, what delicious food are you secretly eating from me?!"
Accompanied by the chirping sound, Bam flapped his wings and flew in at a low altitude.
Hearing this, Zhou Xu rolled his eyes.
"I was just having lunch, how could I hide it from you? I told you to wait a moment, but you were like a starving ghost and didn't want to wait, so you ate and left."
After saying that, Zhou Xu, with a hint of evil taste in his heart, picked up a piece of lamb chop, stirred it vigorously in his seasoning bowl, and then handed it to Bam with an unhappy look on his face.
"For you."
Bam immediately took the bait, grabbed it, and stuffed it into his mouth without thinking.
The smell kept attracting him, causing his saliva to flow like crazy. Plus, when he flew in, he saw with his own eyes that Zhou Xu was eating this way, so naturally he didn't think there was anything wrong with the mutton.
As a result, that bite...
“Gah!!!”
With a weird scream like a drake, Bam started crying from the spiciness and hit his head against the ceiling. He didn't even have time to cry out in pain, as the spiciness kept him running around in the temple.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu ignored him and asked two servants to protect his plate. He held the seasoning bowl in one hand and the lamb chops in the other, eating with relish while watching the Bam flying around with a smile.
That pepper was not ordinary. Its spiciness was not comparable to those common peppers. He used to be able to tolerate spicy food, but he was hurt by the spiciness just now. As for Bam, who has never eaten spicy food before, one can imagine what will happen to him.
Bam jumped up and down for more than ten minutes before he finally calmed down and collapsed on the ground, drooling from the spicy food.
"Zhou, Zhou Hongxu! You you!!!"
Bam couldn't even speak clearly at the moment. He took too big a bite of food just now and the chili must have choked his throat. Now even his voice was hoarse.
At the same time, this also made Bam furious. Just when he was about to explode, he saw Zhou Xu stuffing the mutton dipped in sauce into his mouth with relish, which stunned him on the spot.
He just thought Zhou Xu was playing a prank on him, but now he saw that Zhou Xu was really stuffing that thing into his mouth!
Now Bam no longer had time to get angry. He looked at Zhou Xu with disbelief in his eyes.
"Fuck! Are you crazy?! You dare to put something like this in your mouth? You ate it? Really ate it?!"
Bam rushed over with a look of disbelief and tried to pry Zhou Xu's mouth open.
Zhou Xu was too lazy to fight against him, so he just opened his mouth and let him see enough. Bam was shocked and his brain was a little confused.
"Is that all right?"
As he spoke, Zhou Xu closed his mouth, picked up a piece of mutton with skin on with chopsticks and dipped it into the bowl, then looked at Bam and asked with a bit of evil taste.
"More?"
Hearing this, Bam shuddered and took two steps back.
But for some reason, when he smelled the aroma of food that came into his nose from time to time, he couldn't help but start to saliva in his mouth, and he even had an urge to take another bite.
The thought made Bam himself feel a little bit unbelievable, and he quickly shook his head a few times to get rid of this dangerous idea.
Zhou Xu enjoyed the mutton meal very much.
"Pass the order down. Ask Zhao Geng to come over and transplant some of the spices I discovered recently to the experimental field for testing. Also, have him prepare to set aside a piece of land for large-scale planting!"
In addition to adding flavor to food and being good for the body, these things undoubtedly have economic value that cannot be ignored.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
After all, the artificial cultivation plan for these spices has just begun, and currently they are obtained purely by picking in the wild, so they will definitely not be sold too cheaply.
Since people earn money from work, we must give them some places to spend the money to form a healthier economic cycle, which will be beneficial to the development of the domestic economic market.
While eating mutton, Zhou Xu had already thought of a series of promotion strategies surrounding these condiments.
Just like the Centaurs who were used to eating the food of their Great Zhou, after returning to their own lives, they could not get used to their daily diet at all and kept missing the food of their Great Zhou.
What Zhou Xu wants to do now is to make people get used to these condiments and get used to the richer and more layered flavors that these condiments give to food.
After they get used to it, let them go back to eating their original food, and they will become the same as the previous centaurs.
They will start wanting these with every meal, which will increase their daily food expenses.
The wallet that was originally becoming richer and richer also gradually became thinner.
In order to continue to maintain that kind of life, they will begin to want to work harder to make money, which can also stimulate their ambition in disguise.
This cannot be said to be a black-hearted capitalist. He did not withhold wages, nor did he exploit the labor force. At most, Zhou Xu gave some positive stimulation to the people who had appetites, or gave them a new goal.
The fundamental purpose is to enable people to feel a better life while stimulating higher labor force.
They are driven by their own sense of happiness.
At this stage, for the people of their Great Zhou, one of the main sources of happiness is food, and more delicious food is enough to bring them this stimulation!
In order to eat delicious food every day, they can work harder to make money, thus promoting the development and construction of the entire week.
In Zhou Xu's opinion, this is a win-win situation.
