Villager of Daming

Chapter 1027 Reproduction is so difficult to adjust

Unripe fruits can be picked and dried in the sun. Fruits that have reached a certain level of ripeness will only turn into a pile of puree, which breeds bacteria.

Some fruits reproduce by refusing to allow their seeds to be eaten, such as durian, which has thorns on the outside and smells bad.

This is not the case with peaches and apricots. They need to attract animals through their color and delicious taste. Some animals will not spit out the pits after eating them, so they will take the pits away and leave them somewhere else... on the ground.

The best thing is cats. If cats don’t vomit cores, they have a habit of burying their own excrement.

It doesn't matter if the peach is too big and the pit is sharp. When animals eat, they will carefully carry the food to a safe place and leave the pit behind.

If there are no animals to eat, peaches and apricots will be as round as possible and can be rolled out as much as possible. When they go to other places, the flesh of the fruit will slowly rot, and the soil in that place will become rich in nutrients. As long as it rains, the core of the fruit will sink in. , can also grow.

As for small fruits such as cherries and mountain reds, they rely more on birds to spread.

People in the Ming Dynasty did not think about this. The fruits were concentrated and ripened in large quantities. Only some of them were eaten, and the rest were not sold and could only rot.

The common people have been working hard to find fruits to make dried fruits. They don't know that part of these dried fruits are sold, and part of them are boiled in water and ground into powder to make juice for them to drink in winter.

The braised pork and chestnut chicken will have different flavors when put together, and you won't know which one you are eating.

If there is no problem, kill it and feed it to the palace and the village. If there is any problem, treat it harmlessly.

"I really...don't know what it smells like, it's too mixed."

Zhu Fan sniffed and then saw the empty cans on the ground: "How to deal with them?"

So canned fish are also made into rice dumplings, including beef, and there is no shortage of beef in Yingtianfu.

The team brought a lot of things, including cans, which are good for making rice dumplings, so there were so many drawers in one pot that they could only steam one rice dumpling.

Taiping Mansion followed suit, but did not dare to give away good cows. Xiaqiu Village could see that, did you send the working cows to please His Majesty?
Some of the uneaten beef is given to Fuhua Building, some is made into beef jerky and put in the store, and the rest is canned.

Canned beef also comes in various flavors, some are heavily spiced, and some have just a little salt and star anise.

The fried ones are relatively hard and dense, so you can put more fish in one can. This is military food. The more dry goods you can in a can of the same volume, the better.

The aroma of steamed and boiled rice dumplings can be heard on the road. The rice dumplings with raisins and dates cannot be boiled, but the ones with lard can obviously not be cooked, as the lard will be boiled out.

There are also special minced fish meats. After steaming, the water is pressed out as much as possible, and then stuffed into the heated can shell and sealed immediately.

In this way, the inside of the can is full of meat. After thermal expansion and contraction, the upper and lower supporting areas of the can will shrink inwards. However, the bottom of the can is generally thicker, and the upper part is pressed down.

Zhu Ping issued an order, and the officials immediately went to work and assigned people to get things done.

It's not that it can't be steamed. If canned fish is steamed, the density is low, and the steamed fish will be crushed as soon as it is pressed.

The cooked rice dumplings are placed in the water. The steamed rice dumplings should not touch the water, unless they are raisins and jujubes that are not afraid of soaking.

If the can bulges, it means that the contents inside have produced gas under the microbial state and cannot be eaten.

Once the cattle in Ningguo Prefecture are dying and need to be slaughtered, they are transported to Nanjing by water to Xiaqiu Village, who buys them. If they can't be eaten, they also buy them. They buy them first and then quarantine them.

There are also hairtail and yellow croaker fish, which are usually fried first when canned.

Nowadays, cans do not have pull rings and can be opened as soon as they are pulled. The technology is not ordinary. The edges are sealed with hoops. Either the edges are turned up little by little, or the cans are cut directly.

There are simple cutting tools in the team, just a bayonet. It has this function on it, not the bayonet itself.

The use of a can opener to open cans is obviously not as good as flipping the sealing ring. Zhu Wentian didn't need to take action at all. The craftsmen made a small tool to easily solve the sealing problem.

Wang Yiqian was there, and he was responsible for answering: "Your Highness, the opening of the box below is circled so that it won't cut your hands. It can be used by the people as a small cooking tool or to store things, such as animal oil and salt. Just add a wooden lid.

After cutting off a part of the circular piece above, it becomes the knife for cutting noodles. The cut off part is embedded in the wooden corrugation and becomes the knife for cutting noodles.

This kind of knife is not easy to rust, but it is very sharp. People are told to use it with care like a normal knife and do not use it to kill people. "

Zhu Fan rolled his eyes: "Is this used to kill people? Wipe the neck, right? If the can is opened wide, it will cover a larger area. Can more knives be made?"

"Your Highness, we have already built a smelting plant. There is no shortage of kitchen knives and other knives. The cans can only be used for the people so that they can operate them conveniently. The waste is reused." Wang Yiqian rolled his eyes.

"Don't be like us. Cans are added with wooden lids to reward children who study well. The iron made in the smelter is not the galvanized iron of cans."

Zhu Fan thought of a good idea. He didn't expect to make money by selling the cans.

"Eh? Why do you still have rice dumplings with ginseng and chicken stewed?"

Lao Wu Zhuji had a sharp nose and suddenly found differences among many smells.

Ginseng has a special taste, earthy with a hint of bitterness and sweetness. Platycodon also has that earthy smell, with a different sweetness and less bitterness.

"Your Highness, that's not a rice dumpling, it's medicine. There is a mother who is weak after giving birth. She is too weak and has no milk. She needs to take a lot of supplements, otherwise she will be in trouble in the future."

The imperial doctor spoke from the side, and he was responsible for decoction.

"Can I still breastfeed my baby after taking these medicines? Will the baby have any problems?" Zhu Ru frowned.

"Didn't I tell you that there is no milk? Of course, let the baby eat other people's milk." Ling'er looked like she hated iron.

"Oh my God! You scared me to death! Sister Ling'er, stay away from me, no, I'll stay away from you." Zhu Rui trembled in fright and wanted to stay away.

"Where are you going? You have to stay in this circle. How can we protect you if you go out?" Ling'er didn't allow it.

"They only knew how to bully me. The three of them...don't look at me. I didn't say anything."

Zhu Ru was just about to tell Ling'er to go find trouble for his three brothers, but suddenly he saw three pairs of caring eyes and immediately changed his mind.

Officials took the initiative to block this content and followed it, preparing to try different kinds of rice dumplings at noon. In the past, there were only ones with jujubes.

Some rice dumplings are steamed, take them out and leave them to dry. Don't eat the rice dumplings while they are hot, as they are too hot.

Seeing the rice dumplings, Zhu Ru discovered a new world: "These rice dumplings are... very good! We know! If you make them smaller, you can try more."

He was just about to ask why he was so young, but his understanding was gained in an instant, but he was afraid that Sister Ling'er would say it again.

Normal rice dumplings, one can hold up to the current six.

"There are salted duck eggs and goose egg yolks in it. I put half of the goose egg in it. It's too big. The salted egg white is used to make salty rice dumplings." Ling'er introduced.

Zhu Wentian had a silly smile on his face and was speechless about this, because let's eat tofu! If you eat salty food in the north, add braised food; if you eat sweet food in the south, add sugar directly.

Let’s eat rice dumplings instead! People in the north eat sweet food, while people in the south eat salty food.

Of course, no matter which one, someone shouted, I put chili oil, nothing else will work.
