I'm Sasha, and I'll answer.

Actually, Wu Dalang sells steamed bread, not baked wheat cakes.

Cooking bread in Song Dynasty is steamed bread, steamed bread is steamed stuffed bun, and sesame seed cake is the real sesame seed cake.

let's look at steamed bread first.

when Wu Song came to Sun Erniang store, Sun Erniang said, "We have good wine and meat. When we want snacks, we have big steamed buns."

As a result, Wu Song found a few pubic hairs in the steamed bread stuffing.

It can be seen that this kind of steamed bread is steamed stuffed bun with meat stuffing.

and cooking cakes are not baked cakes.

Lu Zhishen was so hungry that he was defeated by two robbers, Cui Daocheng and Qiu Xiaoyi. He escaped and happened to meet Shi Jin.

when Shi Jin saw this, he took out his dried meat biscuits and gave them to Lu Zhishen.

this kind of dry meat sesame seed cake is the real sesame seed cake. Sesame cakes have been around since the Han Dynasty, and they are a kind of bread from the Western Regions.

this kind of bread can be stored for a long time because of dehydration, and it is suitable for nomadic cavalry to carry and will not go bad.

Shi Jin's sesame seed cake is more advanced, with meat in it, similar to today's meat buns. Because Shi Jin was originally a gentleman of the landlord's family, he was used to enjoying life and even bought high-grade food.

And the cooking cake sold in Wu Dalang is steamed bread.

Before leaving yanggu county for Tokyo on business, Wu Song said to his elder brother, "You've never been a coward. I'm not at home. I'm afraid I'll be bullied by outsiders. If you sell ten cage cooking cakes every day, you will only make five cages to sell from tomorrow; Go out late and come back early every day, and don't eat wine with people. If someone bullies you, don't argue with him until I come back. "

pay attention to the fan cage, this is the steamer. Cooking cakes don't need a steamer, only steamed bread is needed.

Because yanggu county is also in the north, there is a lot of wheat, so pasta is the staple food.

Steamed bread is a kind of high-grade pasta, but it's more troublesome to make it at home, and it has to be kneaded and cooked.

So many people buy steamed bread directly, which is what Wu Dalang does.

Wu Dalang sells steamed buns, not a snack bar, so there is no need to keep them hot.

He usually makes steamed bread before dawn, then sells it in the morning, and usually sells it at night before collecting it and going home.

The ancients used to eat two meals. It doesn't matter if the steamed bread is cold. Just go home and heat it yourself or eat it directly cold.

the ancients were not so particular.

It's not that Wu Dalang deliberately wants to sell more. The profit of the main steamed bread is too low, and not selling more is not enough to support the family.

Wu Song knew that Wu Dalang was not at home during the day, so he only sold half of the steamed bread, and spent a lot of time watching Pan Jinlian at home, so as not to let her have a chance to hook up with men.

unfortunately, half a day is enough for people like Pan Jinlian.

I'm fried rice, and I'll answer.

In Water Margin, Wu Dalang sells cooking cakes. What is cooking cakes? It is necessary to make it clear. Don't think that the 98 version of "Water Margin" was shot wrong, and the cooking cake is steamed bread. Nowadays, the "Wu Dalang Cooking Cakes" in many scenic spots are selling dog meat by hanging sheep's heads, and selling sesame seed cakes.

In fact, strictly speaking, cooking cakes are not completely steamed bread, but they are very close to steamed bread. Cooking cake was originally called "steamed cake", but it was changed to "cooking cake" to avoid the taboo of Song Renzong Zhao Zhen. In short, it is also unfermented and stuffing-free dough steamed in a steamer, which is the same as the steamed bread in the north now.

the steamed bread in the north is different from the steamed bread in the south, both of which are dead noodles. Stir-fried rice I remember that in the campus restaurant more than ten years ago, a steamed bread with 21 cents could kill people. After air-drying, the skin was peeled and rubbed with powder. You can barely eat two pieces of fried rice after graduation, while girls in the northern countryside can eat four pieces.

Therefore, northern steamed bread has been cheap and hungry since ancient times. At the end of every month, I point to Laoganma and die of steamed bread. There is no cheaper food than this.

So why does Wu Dalang have to carry cooking cakes all over the county for a day when he clearly lives in the most prosperous Zishi Street in yanggu county?

Because cooking cakes are bought by the poor. Zishi Street is full of people who spend a few taels of money to eat wine, so cooking cakes are not suitable for sale in the bustling business district, but people who work hard in every corner of the county buy more.

the biggest advantage of dead-faced steamed bread is that it can be eaten cold, but it is a little hard, so you don't need to hurry to buy steamed bread. In the Song Dynasty, the rich also had three meals a day, but it was different from now, two meals during the day and one meal at midnight. Ordinary poor people can only sleep at night, leaving only two meals during the day.

For example, a street sweeper met Wu Dalang in the morning and bought two cooking cakes. He ate one at 11:11 a.m. and one at 3:11 p.m., so all the food for the day may have passed. A night watchman met Wu Dalang at 3: 11 p.m. and bought two cooking cakes. One of them was eaten immediately, and the other was kept for night watchman.

Wu Dalang goes out every day, and if he wants to earn more money to raise the golden lotus, he must go out early and come back late. He has two burdens and eight drawers, and he has to have 81 cooking cakes anyway. A few regular customers are in the east of the city in the morning, and a few regular customers are in the west of the city at noon, and the rest depends on luck. You have to walk more and meet an early adopter. For example, Simon's official clearly knows that he can't die and eat, and he also asked the page to buy two. At least it was made by Jinlian.

So when Wu Song first arrived in yanggu county, everyone crowded to see the tiger hero. On the contrary, business in Wu Dalang was not good that day. Because none of the people watching the scene of bustle went to buy cooking cakes to eat, and people crowded, and several regular customers didn't touch them before. It is normal that business is not good.

When Wu Song went to Tokyo on business, he asked Wu Dalang to go out late and return early, so as to secure the fence yard. Wu Dalang only cooks half of the cooking cakes every day, and only does regular business. He will come back when he sells out, and he will come back when he can't sell out. Money will naturally earn less, but time will be saved a lot.

This is why Dalang can sell cooking cakes for half a day or all day.

Wu Dalang is a tragic figure in the Water Margin. His image is obscene and his figure is short. It is not easy to survive. Later, I married a wife as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade, and my living expenses increased. I had to sell cooking cakes for a day to make a living.

There are many explanations about this cooking cake. Whether it is steamed bread or cake, it can be seen that this cooking cake is not stuffed, not stuffed buns or stuffed cakes, and it should be one of the most important staple foods of ordinary people at that time.

Because it is the staple food of ordinary people, the price of this thing is definitely not high. If you want to make money, you can only make small profits but quick turnover. In ancient times, it was different from today. Now, the urban population density was high, and there were steamed bread shops, steamed bun shops, etc. As long as you set up a shop in a fixed place, people around you can come to buy it. Moreover, people now have a fast pace of life and have no time to steam steamed bread themselves, so it is more convenient to go to the store to buy it. One more thing, people now have cars, electric cars and bicycles, even if they are far away, they can buy them by means of transportation.

But ancient times were completely different. In ancient cities, the population density was not high, and many people cooked food at home. In addition, there was no convenient means of transportation, so they wouldn't go shopping if they were far away. In this case, Wu Dalang must take the initiative to sell more kitchen cakes.

Of course, Wu Dalang doesn't have to walk around the streets all day. He can go to the busiest street with cooking cakes and regard it as the main stronghold. In addition, he has been selling cooking cakes for some time, and there must be some old customers who can provide home delivery service. In a word, in order to sell more steamed bread, it will definitely take a long time to spend outside. As for whether the cooking cake is cold or hot, to tell the truth, the ancients had limited productivity and didn't pay so much attention to it. It would be good to stutter.

Because of this, it also provides a gap for Pan Jinlian to hook up with Ximen Qing in the future. If Wu Dalang stays at home all the time, just like the current steamed stuffed bun shop, Pan Jinlian definitely won't cheat. But Wu Dalang went out during the day, and Pan Jinlian himself was idle at home, so he naturally thought about three things and four things, and then he happened to meet Ximen Qing. Ximen Qing is a romantic veteran, and Pan Jinlian is also a restless woman. It is a matter of course that two people hook up.

actually, Wu Song had expected this for a long time. Since Wu Song became the head of yanggu county, he followed Wu Dalang back home and met Pan Jinlian, who was restless. It turns out that Pan Jinlian likes fooling around with men best, while Wu Dalang, who is short in stature, puzzled by amorous feelings, is particularly ugly, and Pan Jinlian is about to spit it out in the face of Wu Dalang. Wu Song, on the other hand, is completely different. She is tall, strong, broad-waisted and good-looking. She fell in love with Wu Song at the first sight. In order to win Wu Song, Pan Jinlian had something to talk about. It's a pity that Wu Song is an upright man. In his eyes, no matter how beautiful and coquettish Pan Jinlian is, she is her sister-in-law, and her eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, so Wu Song doesn't have any bad ideas about Pan Jinlian.

Pan Jinlian, on the other hand, can't be in a hurry. She thinks that Wu Song is too ignorant of amorous feelings. In this case, let's just stick to it, specially prepare tables and drinks, and directly touch Wu Song. Although Wu Song is straightforward, she is very smart. When he looks at Pan Jinlian and contacts her before, he immediately understands that Pan Jinlian is a restless woman. How can Wu Song tolerate such a woman? But for the sake of his brother's face, he reprimanded Pan Jinlian and gave up. In order to avoid suspicion, he also deliberately moved back to the yamen to live.

Knowing what kind of sister-in-law is, Wu Song began to worry about his brother. He was in yanggu county, and he believed that Pan Jinlian would not dare to mess around. He was no longer in yanggu county, so he really had to be careful. So, when Wu Song was going on a business trip, he specially gave Wu Dalang a sum of money, saying that he should not work too hard in business in the future, and he only needed to maintain half the amount of cooking cakes on weekdays, so he went home and looked at his wife if he had nothing to do.

I have to say that Wu Song was prescient, but unfortunately, what he was worried about happened. Although Wu Dalang reduced the time to go out and sell cooking cakes, he still had to sell them for half a day. As for Pan Jinlian, he had long been hooked by Wu Song, but he was not satisfied at all. When he met Ximen Qing at once, he jumped up like a moth, and went out fooling around as long as there was a little gap.

If Wu Dalang doesn't go out at all, just watch Pan Jinlian at home, maybe nothing will happen. But there must be a premise that Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing should not meet. As long as Ximen Qing sees Pan Jinlian, something will happen, even if Wu Dalang has been at home, then Ximen Qing can just make some intrigues and tricks to send Wu Dalang away. For Wu Dalang, Pan Jinlian is a woman he can't stand. It's really bad for him to marry Pan Jinlian.

Wu Dalang in The Water Margin is a tragic figure. His parents died early when he was a child, and he was the oldest in the Wu family, and he was called Wu Dalang. Short stature, ugly appearance, was dubbed the three-inch Ding Gu bark. With no special skills, he made a living by selling drinks and cakes, and raised his brother Wu Song with painstaking efforts. Kind-hearted, honest, practical and diligent, love brothers. The big family in Qinghe county retaliated against the beautiful Pan Jinlian. Married her to Wu Dalang for nothing, Pan Jinlian had an affair with Ximen Qing, and was discovered by Wu Dalang, which led to Wu Dalang being killed by the adulterer and prostitute. Later, Wu Song avenged his brother and killed Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian.

why does Wu Dalang sell drinks and cakes for one day?

Wu Dalang, who lives in a poor family, sells cakes all day, in order to earn more money, which is also the need of the development of the novel plot, so as to conform to the logical reasoning of the plot development.

First, why not sell it at home?

1. Wu Da was originally from Qinghe County. Because of the above reasons, he rented a house in yanggu county.

2. "I still choose to sell kitchen cakes every day", which shows that I am used to the old business.

3. After the Song Dynasty suffered defeat, where did the tribute come from? Needless to say, the tax on opening a shop is very heavy, as can be seen from the Financial History of the Song Dynasty.

how do you collect taxes by walking around the streets? Ha ha!

Second, the business of cooking cakes:

From the relevant information, we can see that the commerce in the Song Dynasty was developed:

There were many shops

In this case, as a foreigner, he could only go out and look for opportunities, and he had no capital and a bad geographical position. How can he do this business of cooking cakes?

The word "beating around the bush" can be seen as living in a remote place, even the tea house. How can you do business in such a fragile place as cooking cakes?

as for how long it will be sold, it all depends on when it is sold out and when it ends!

when the cards are not licensed, that is, around noon, where does it say that they will be sold all day? Pay attention to "Voice of Shui Bo" and watch more wonderful questions and answers!

The author decides privately, and it can't be a day.

The historical background of "Water Margin" is the Northern Song Dynasty. Although the imperial court was defeated year after year and the country was invaded by barbarians from all directions, it ended the situation of five dynasties and ten countries, and the world was divided. Zhao Jiangshan ruled for more than 311 years, which has to be said to be a miracle, and its economy and culture have reached an unprecedented peak in history. The heroes of the Water Margin did not rise up because they didn't have enough to eat, most of them were forced by evil forces, and there was no phenomenon of starving everywhere and selling children and girls in the book. While having enough food and clothing, ordinary people go further to pursue poetry and songs and collect antiques, playing this elegant art, and their economic and cultural prosperity can be seen. Everything is explained in the famous painting "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", in which the streets are prosperous, shops are everywhere, and the traffic is like restoring the style of Bianjing at that time. Among them, restaurants are the most, and the streets are full of wine, signs and even the earliest food delivery staff, which shows that the food culture is developed. Wuzhi sells cooking cakes, and there is a two-story private residence in Yanggu County and county-level cities, which is a good proof. Cooking cake is a kind of pasta, such as steamed bread made by his wife Xiao Pan. Although there is no pavement, he can reach a well-off living standard by carrying the burden and selling it in the streets. First, Dalang's business is fair, and people are honest. Second, Xiao Jinlian's cooking is authentic, but it is entirely due to the social environment at that time. People have money in their pockets, so he can sell goods. It is not surprising to understand this.

it's normal, and Dalang is equivalent to the takeaway shop in our restaurant now. It also plays the role of a flag bearer, and it turns out to be a takeaway shop. He is sure that the business momentum will be good. It hurts. You think I'm open now. I'm opening this takeaway shop. So Da Lang will always sell it according to his eye time, because this is food. Many people will eat these things in a day, so Dalang's business hours will be longer.

In the past, cooking cakes were all made and sold now, and they were always shared. If you want to ask why you want to sell it for a day, it is a personal habit. There is no doubt about this. The old-fashioned economy in ancient times is not like ours today.
