Villager of Daming

Chapter 1018: Different customs but the same place

The sun jumped out early in the morning, bright red, and there were few clouds in the sky.

Women who were waiting to give birth and women who had given birth were all in the designated area. Since the newborn babies gathered together, it was suitable for palace maids and eunuchs to give baby care lessons to the people.

As long as one baby cries, it will cause a group of babies to cry. How to coax the baby from crying is definitely a science.

Officials' families who were qualified to be here arrived and moved into the allocated rooms. They were unable to do anything humane and were not soundproofed.

"We told you to take a break and go back, but you insisted on bringing your family here. Today is the summer solstice and tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. I will give you five days off, but you insist on not wanting it. Alas!"

Today is June 22nd, the summer solstice, the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, and tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, right next to each other!

Zhu Fan asked the officials to go home and rest, but the officials collectively refused and asked people to bring their families.

They didn't dare to take a rest. After a few days, the team left and they would no longer be able to learn knowledge.

Officials understand that Xiaqiu Village is the best teacher. They teach a lesson every day and get in touch with officials before other places.

What the great Confucianists can say, when listening to Zhu Lichang's lectures, he occasionally mentioned Confucianism, Legalism, military strategists, Taoism, political strategists, Mohism and other knowledge.

The southern one of the same genus is smaller than it, and is called Xiaohuangmi.

There is no glutinous rice in Taiyuan Prefecture, only yellow rice. The rice cooked with rhubarb rice has the same texture as glutinous rice. Which one is more delicious... buy it and cook it and taste it.

"Your Highness, I am dedicated to serving the public, and the public comes before private. How can we abolish the public for private purposes? How many people are crying for food, and how many children have found the light of day. On this occasion..."

Wrap the rice dumplings with reed leaves and tie them with malan leaves. If possible, put a soaked jujube. Half a jujube is fine.

Zhu Fan interrupted Magistrate Guo. What he said had no practical meaning. Making rice dumplings was a business. Some merchants had already started selling large and small yellow rice, reed leaves and malan leaves.

It proves that Xiaqiu Village cannot leave easily. It must go to several more places and solve the problem at once.

Rhubarb rice is very hot when it is hot, so you need to blow it while eating it. Many rice cakes are made into sticky rice, and fried popcorn can also be used.

Either I study with my friends and exchange letters, so I don’t easily meet those powerful people.

If you are looking for someone else, you have to give something as a gift! He also delayed his own government affairs. Zhu Li took care of it and provided him with food and accommodation.

There are no meat dumplings here yet, no raisins, peanuts... I can't even dream of it.

There is no such shop after passing this village. His Highness King Jin asked for it. He went to the fiefdom once and passed by the fiefdom of His Highness King Qin and then to His Highness King Yan. I heard that he had to go elsewhere.

With this in mind, the officials discussed it and sent someone to pick up the family members. Anyway, they would get free food and lodging. They would also ask the imperial doctor to look around and inquire. No matter how you look at it, it would be a profit.

There have always been great Confucians who run schools. People stay in one place, and many people rush there despite the mountains and rivers and the dangerous roads.

Knowing that there is an expert in Xiaqiu Village, the expert cannot see him, so Zhu Lichang is enough.

"Okay, okay, okay, my family is here to take a rest, help make rice dumplings, collect a lot of big yellow rice, and soak last year's dried dates."

I integrated that knowledge into new knowledge and picked it up at my fingertips. I occasionally had a little inspiration for the things I talked about before, and some I had never even thought about.

Big yellow rice is the new cooking room Huang Liang written in Du Fu's poem. Du Fu was an official in Huazhou. Huazhou was bounded by the Weishui River to the south and the Yellow River to the east. When the team came over, they passed by Zhu Ping's fiefdom.

The millet in the north is different from the small yellow rice in the south and the large yellow rice in the north. There is no small yellow rice in the north. When talking about small yellow rice, it is millet.

Millet can also be used to cook rice, but the taste is not as good, so porridge is the most fragrant.

People in the north who don’t have money to buy big yellow rice use millet, and those who don’t have millet use buckwheat to make rice dumplings. "Your Highness, this year the people all have rice to make rice dumplings, no buckwheat." Chai Tongzhi took the opportunity to report the good news.

"Is it accurate? What if someone packs it?" Zhu Fan expressed disbelief.

"Unless their family wants to eat buckwheat rice dumplings, we planted a lot of miscellaneous grains last year. This year we will give them yellow rice."

Chai Tongzhi said that there was nothing he could do if others insisted on taking buckwheat buns. It was not because they were lacking something.

Zhu Fan nodded and looked at the sky: "I believe it. There are sergeants here. Let's give an order. They will tell the truth. It looks good. If it doesn't rain, it won't rain tomorrow."

"It's better if it's harvested." The head of the village said: "The wheat in the north has been harvested and is being dried.

Because harvesting was done manually in the past, it took a long time, and the last part of the wheat was not dried yet, so it rained poorly and became moldy.

This year we concentrated our manpower and material resources to not only harvest wheat, but also plant soybeans, sorghum, and other miscellaneous grains.

Wheat stubble will become moldy and produce insects when exposed to rain.

Rainwater will carry mold, insects, and insect eggs into the river, and people will drink the raw water in the river. The consequences are needless to say.

Therefore, during the Dragon Boat Festival, when it rains in the north, people are more likely to get sick. In the south, where there are paddy fields, it rains normally. "

"That's it!" Several officials said in unison at the same time, gaining knowledge again.

"That's right, the south is willing to rain during the Dragon Boat Festival, but the north is afraid. Let's let the people drink boiled water. Anyway, the wheat has been harvested and dried and put into the warehouse.

oops! Can Datong Prefecture and the southern state capitals also operate in this way? Especially drink boiled water or well water.

The water in the river is not clean. When it rains, all kinds of things get into the river. I hope the sergeants in the past can play a role. "

Zhu Bang just felt that his Taiyuan Prefecture did not care, and suddenly thought of other places in the north.

Everyone talked, washed hands, sat down, and waited for the food to be served. They did not drink alcohol in the morning. On the summer solstice, they drank mutton soup, and then drank it at noon.

I caught and killed the pigs by the way. I really caught them. Wild boars, pigs raised by the common people, don’t rush to buy them, otherwise prices will rise.

There are not only wild boars, but also other prey, which are used to make rice dumplings.

To eat egg noodles in the morning, beat the eggs in boiling water and hold them into a ball. It is called lying egg in the northeast, Shuipu egg in the south, and Danzhizi around Yingtianfu.

In fact, it is a boiled poached egg. In ancient times, ordinary people boiled it because frying requires oil. Poached eggs were only fried later. Real poached eggs can only be boiled.

Everyone eats noodles. This is the authentic Taiyuan food. Noodles are eaten during the summer solstice.

They eat meat and dog meat, but the team does not accept the common people's dogs. There are hunting wolves. They make dog meat according to the dog meat method and distribute it to the families of the government officials in Taiyuan Prefecture and Quyang County.

Other counties are too far away and I don’t have time to send them. It’s too hot to keep them there.

The women who came to give birth and those who were in confinement were given special treatment such as egg custard, specially prepared mushrooms, fungus, minced meat, stewed bamboo shoots, and mutton siomai.

They even gave them a lot of fruits. The mothers-in-law were happy, envious and jealous, but they would not touch a bite of their daughter-in-law's food.

Some women have no milk and cannot produce much milk even if they are kneaded. Normally, they would be scolded for this, and it would be difficult for them to have children.

It doesn't matter now, there are always those who have a lot of milk, and they use a bottle to catch it and give it to the mother's baby who has less milk. Some even just carry her over and feed them together. If the baby doesn't protest, she is the mother who has milk.
