Typical Cost For A Eyebrow Wax In A Salon

The supply of Santafé


was so important to the colonial administration the correct supply of urban centers that function was subjected in almost all lines of the monopoly regime.
was a point of concern both economically and politically. In pre-capitalist regimes food shortage has been the main source of popular uprisings.
Santafé's geographical position was privileged in terms of food supplies, given the savanna soil fertility and on the other hand, its proximity to other floors heat. All this enabled him to have an exceptional variety of fruits throughout the year. In addition, Santa Fe would assert as a metropolitan center and advantageously forced to supply at the expense of neighboring regions. Tunja
producers and Upper Magdalena had an obligation to provide certain shares Santafé wheat and meat prices with city authorities.
Both supply critical products were the basic ingredients of the English diet, wheat and meat . On these two items exercised a strict control and constant prices during the colonial period and applied measures strong and exaggerated as the price control.
Throughout its history, Santafé, protected by their political supremacy, forced a price stability in the long term, to the point of keeping them virtually unchanged for two centuries and a half.
The explanation for this phenomenon lies in the very special efforts of colonial officials to defend their standard of living. The bureaucracy was low and stable wages. In defense of this precarious income is the key to the rigid control of prices of meat, as we saw earlier, had resounding consequences, chief among them inhibit the development of farming in the savanna and, collaterally, prohijar shortages of Santa Fe.
Tucked in such a rigid waist, the landowners of the Sabana were given the task of illegally exporting their products to as far away as Antioch, Mompox and Cartagena and other places closer as Honda and Mariquita. All these areas where there was good demand for savanna. Logically, the capital authorities responded with even more drastic measures.
also exercised very strict control on the development and marketing of bread, an article which gave rise to one of the most intense commercial movements of Santa Fe. Only the production and sale of chicha vied with bread. By 1602 the city were registered in 49 bakeries or "bake" as they called them then.
late eighteenth century the bakers, to the inflexibility of the controls, they chose to lower the weight of bread. The City Council passed an ordinance struck under which the bakers were forced to sell their product marked with a stamp to identify the respective bake for purposes of control and possible sanctions. But eventually the council was forced to be a bit more flexible to accept the weight of bread will vary depending on the value of the flour. In this way, then established three categories of bread, first, second and third, and publicly set prices for each category.
Another important product such as bread was the animal fat that manufactured the primitive candles, when burned, gave off an unwelcome odor but were essential for being the only domestic lighting which had the capital.
In his capacity
staple, tallow candles, in the process of marketing and sales, were under the tight regime as part of the privilege that had the "provider".
In 1712 the factory stands Lazaro Hernandez, according to a notebook supplies, processed in the year 770 pounds of fat delivered by the provider, With the shortage of livestock, the candles were in a similar fate. However, these crises had partial relief in clandestine butchers slaughtered cattle behind the law and selling contraband leather and tallow.
The wood was also a staple in Santa Fe, primarily for cooking and baking food. Part of the tax charged by trustees are paid in firewood. In the seventeenth century set a compelling service indigenous communities to provide the city a certain quota in loads of wood, a service that was called "mita wood." Later abolished the half and appeared numerous "Woodlanders" independent whose job was to provide firewood and charcoal to Santa Fe.
addition to vaccination, sheep meat was highly sought after in the city . The rams came to represent half of the animals slaughtered in the carnage santafereños. In contrast to the frequent problems encountered by the supply of cattle, all the time Savannah was able to provide generously to the capital of ovine meat and fat of the same source for the manufacture of candles. Of a sheep were removed between 14 and 17 levers of candles, which were worth between 319 and 380 pesos. Pork
ranked third, although its use was considerable. Mutton and pork products should be substitutes for beef. Although there is no serial data on the consumption of pork, judging from the number found, the consumer should be noticeable.
To register for Santafé 1772 a total of 4,016 pigs. The sacrifice of pigs left an important byproduct, bacon. Replace lard in the English diet olive oil as a medium for frying. In addition, the English taste for pork fat, which went to America, has cultural and religious reasons. On the Peninsula served as a key element to identify the old and genuine Christians, since the consumption of pork fat is from biblical times severely proscribed by the law of Moses. The Jews were in those days especially zealous in the enforcement of this rule, due to which the rejection of the bacon served many times to find a good many false converts. The ancient Christian roots, in contrast, not only ate bacon without measure, but who liked to make public ostentanción of fatty diet distinctive way of his unequivocal status as Old Christians.
Since prehispanic times, the Muisca derived from their food from the varied but not very rich fish fauna of rivers savanna. The Indians retained through generations a remarkable skill in fishing river network both as bait. From the Conquest, the consumption of these fish has increased very significantly, not only for its exquisite quality, but because of the prolonged closures imposed by the meat during Lent.
For nostalgia of those who deplore the transformation of our river in a cesspool inert Bogotá, stinking and lifeless, it is timely reading the following passage from Villamor reporter in 1722:
"This mighty river provides for gift fingers abundant fish species : a small figure called 'sardines guapuchas' and other major yellow, black and blue, scales called 'captain' where it has found a curious mystery, because it divided the head spines, each shows a picture of the instruments of the Passion of Our Redeemer. "
captain became one of the finest delicacies in the dining halls of the well. There are references reporting that was dried and smoked to preserve and / or trade. The captain continued to be found in the rivers of the Savannah until the late colonial period. However, the last time was on the point of total extinction.
