Chapter 1059: What’s the point of drying chestnuts without mushrooms?

"Everyone, quickly wet your handkerchief with cold water and wipe your forehead and neck. It's hot and people can easily faint."

An hour had passed since Zhu Di started speaking. The officials were dizzy, had headaches after listening too much, and their eyes hurt.

The chief arranged for someone to bring wet hand towels soaked in cold water. Zhu Di stopped talking and looked at the moon. It had risen and was also round.

When Zhu Wentian saw that he was no longer lecturing, he smashed the salt-baked chicken gizzards and took the chicken rack that had been lightly heated before and continued to roast it.

No one had eaten anything, so they just listened to Zhu Di blah blah blah...

After wiping it with cold water, the officials felt much better. They were even more fortunate to listen to it before eating. It made them feel like vomiting, like seasickness or motion sickness.

"First have a sip of cold beer. The braised chicken nuggets are good. Mushrooms are also included. They are some frozen mushrooms picked in early spring. The common people are reluctant to eat them and sell them.

And they don't know how to stay at home first. If there are too many frozen mushrooms, the price charged will be low, and the people will be more anxious to sell.

Mushroom harvesters were waiting on the road at the foot of the mountain. They collected the mushrooms at a low price and then sold them in the city. People spread the news in the city, and groups of people came to the city again.

Ling'er saw Zhu Di looking over: "I remember! In the next two months, the chestnuts in some places will begin to mature. If you can't finish them all, it's not that you have to make canned chestnut chicken.

As the eldest prince, Zhu Xi spoke first, chatting about family matters and telling the officials to slow down.

Seedling cultivation is the key, ensuring nutrients, so that the seedlings are good and will help shorten the chestnut production time. "

It seems that as long as you grow chestnuts, you can eat chestnuts. Chestnuts are very adaptable.

She had never thought of stocking up on dried chestnuts in large quantities. When autumn came, new chestnuts came down, part of which was made into medicine, and the rest was made into sugar and roasted.

The canned chestnut chicken in the army is a can that comes with vegetables and staple food. There are large cans for several people to eat one, and there are also small cans for one person to eat at a meal.

Either the old chestnut trees had a low yield and were grafted with new seedlings, which would produce chestnuts in a short period of two to three years.

"It's a pity that there are no chestnuts, otherwise we would make chestnut chicken."

In the end, it was sold to a department store, and the price was not high. Department stores don't do charity, and prices follow market trends, unless it's something produced in a factory.

Cook it and dry it in the sun. It is always available in Huimin Pharmacy and Herbal Medicine Library. You can prescribe it when needed.

Plant fruit trees on the mountain. If the fruits are not easy to sell, replace them with chestnut trees. Chestnuts are really useful for preserving and eating when you are hungry!
Zhu Di raised his glass and gave a bell: "Yes, General Xu, chestnuts will be planted in the entire Peking Province this year, no, next year, we will harvest them this year and sow them in spring next year.

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Yihua over there. Xu Yihua saw Ling'er wanting to eat canned chestnut chicken.

There are many chestnuts in Beiping Prefecture. The Yanshan Mountain Range is particularly suitable for the growth of chestnuts. They are also found in Xi'an Prefecture, Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Anhui, and Lianghu...

First cultivate seedlings in various places, wait for the seedlings to grow, and then plant them in the next spring or autumn.

The dried chestnuts are soaked, or stewed directly, and eaten as a staple food... the people are reluctant to part with them. "

For example, the selling price of alabaster and clam oil is fixed, and the prices of pens, inks, and papers are not adjusted. Basically no one buys inkstones, so just find a fine-textured stone and make them. "

"I know!" Xu Da accepted the order. In fact, Zhu Di can manage Beiping Mansion, but the province of Beiping is not under Zhu Di's control.

When the fifth child heard this, his eyes rolled: "We are the King of Wu. Is there anyone in charge of our place? I ordered you to plant chestnuts for us. At least we are still the King of Wu now. We should leave something for the people."

"What your Highness said is very good." The village chief followed up and said: "Go and send a telegram and write: Haozhou chestnut can be harvested and planted." Two teenagers from Xiaqiu Village got up and went to send the telegram to Xiaqiu Village, and then the palace It can also be received, and the details do not need to be explained.

There is still some time before the chestnuts are harvested, so I have to write a letter and pass it on to talk about the things here. A letter must be sent every ten days.

The telegram has been sent, and someone will arrange to go to Fengyang to select a site tomorrow to see the existing chestnut trees in the area. Those with seedlings should wait for grafting.

"Eat, chicken rack, cooked, fragrant, vinegary, sing and dance! Yeah! Hey hey hey hey..."

Zhu Wentian grilled a row of chicken racks and sprayed them with vinegar from a watering can. The chicken racks were not braised first and then grilled, but were grilled raw. If they were not sprayed with vinegar, they would be fishy.

Divide the chicken racks, half for each person, and wait for those who haven't been assigned. He listened to Zhu Di's lecture for an hour and dealt with many chicken racks first.

"That's right, let's sing and dance. It's a nice night today! The moon is round. Yesterday was nice too, but I was just too tired."

Zhu Fan asked the palace maids to dance and the eunuchs to play musical instruments, otherwise they would have classes again soon.

The officials breathed a sigh of relief and ate slowly. There were songs and dances to show that they wouldn't talk about important things anymore. Well... probably not!
Dinner was mainly braised chicken nuggets, with frozen mushrooms picked in the spring. The pine mushrooms and hazel mushrooms left by the people last year were not harvested deliberately, and they are available in department stores.

The royal guards, officials, craftsmen, palace maids, eunuchs, and the families of local officials eat braised chicken nuggets and pickled eggplant strips. The cold dishes are cucumbers, dried tofu shreds, mung bean vermicelli, mung bean sprouts, and sesame sauce.

Zhu Di took a bite of a small frozen mushroom and raised his eyebrows: "What mushrooms are there now?"

"Drought!" Ling'er replied with two words.

"Oh! Forgot! No wonder people don't pick mushrooms." Zhu Di frowned again.

"There are chestnut mushrooms in the chestnut forest. They are wild and can be cultivated artificially. Are there any recipes left?" Ling'er stopped complaining this time.

"Keep it! Just pass it on wherever it suits you, so that the people can have one more choice for mushroom cultivation. Is it just this one?"

Zhu Di knew that ordinary people could grow shiitake mushrooms, which were relatively easy to grow, as well as oyster mushrooms. The cave dwelling at the third brother's place would be used to grow shiitake mushrooms, mainly shiitake mushrooms.

Shiitake mushrooms are easier to transport when dried, while oyster mushrooms are easier to break when dried. Shiitake mushrooms are in balls, while oyster mushrooms are torn into strips.

"There are also bovine bacilli, copri mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and medicinal fungus horse manure bags. Anyway, there will be nothing left when there is a drought. Let's wait until autumn!"

Ling'er thought for a while and gave out four kinds of fungi. Mushrooms appeared after rain. After working for a month, the wild fungus disappeared.

"Don't the common people grow mushrooms?" Zhu Di looked at his second brother and then at Li Chang, wondering if he taught the common people in Beiping Prefecture how to grow mushrooms when the team came last time.

Xu Yihua said at this time: "Your Highness, the common people helped get water, voluntarily. The common people are afraid that the farmers will not be able to produce food due to lack of water in the fields, and the price of food will be high."

Xu Da followed up and said: "Exactly, even if they have done hard labor, they will still have to do hard labor in Beiping Mansion. Until it rains, the people will work in divided time, and it will be counted as hard labor.

In the past, people served for a month at a time and brought their own food and supplies.

Now the people can be separated and arranged near their homes to provide a meal, plus dinner and breakfast for those who work in the evening.

Just build roads and bridges. When the water level continues to drop, we can just build the bridges that were inconvenient to build before. Will there be no drought next year? "

Xu Da looks at the situation, meaning you can give me a guarantee whether there will be a drought next year?
The head of the village shook his head: "No, the world will be peaceful in the next few years. If there is any, we will tell you in advance."
