Villager of Daming

Chapter 1062: People’s hearts are as strong as ever

The popcorn machine was buzzing, and some children brought their own things. Basically, they were sorghum, millet and rice, and the wheat bran was not processed.

If you eat too much wheat bran, it will make you dry. Children will eat popcorn bars with wheat bran vigorously. It is cheap.

There are also businessmen who come to pay the processing fee. These are smart people. The popcorn sticks can be kept for a long time because of drought and not humidity, and they are sold slowly.

A processing fee of 50 cents was charged for processing a pound of grain, and the merchant agreed. He would then wait for the children to eat all the grains themselves, and he would sell them by the root, for example, for 10 cents per grain.

Zhu Di's four brothers sat under the pergola and read the question book. Zhu Wentian and others were basking in the sun and squinting for a while. He fell asleep the latest, and the chief was already snoring.

"You have to wait until a place's economy develops to a certain level before you can use such concepts, right?"

After reading it, Zhu Fan knew that Taiyuan Prefecture was not good. Having enough food was the prerequisite, and he could not care about the employment rate and the abundance of agricultural and sideline products.

The common people do not need to eat live fish. They are happy enough to have dried salted fish from the seaside. Unfortunately, even the dried fish...

"We should be able to do it by the end of this year. We have a small petroleum smelting plant. Then we can produce some oil, polyethylene, paraffin and petrolatum and sell them for money."

"Second brother, remember to send some to Taiyuan Prefecture, especially kerosene, diesel, and gasoline for everyone to use."

Zhu Fan did not consider building another petrochemical smelting plant. After Yan'an Prefecture has crossed the Yellow River, it can only be transported to Taiyuan Prefecture by reaching the Fen River below.

Unlike Beiping Prefecture here, the plains from Beiping Prefecture to the seaside are all good land. Drought can be serious.

"What are you having for lunch? I feel a little hungry."

A small number of palace maids and eunuchs did not eat because everyone went back to rest yesterday, and the palace maids and eunuchs drank up the leftover food and wine. But they didn’t eat anything the officials touched, because they despised it!
Zhu Di closed the title book: "Eat cold noodles? Or eat fried noodles?"

There are both wheat and rice in Beiping Prefecture. It is most comfortable to grow wheat. There is a drought in summer. The winter wheat planted last year was harvested during the drought. The weather is sunny. After harvesting, you can dry it in the sun without fear of rain.

Zhu Xi has regarded the oil-producing place as his own territory. It is Yanchang County, Yan'an Prefecture, above the Hukou Falls of the Yellow River, and is actually not too far from Taiyuan Prefecture.

There are mountains blocking the way elsewhere. If you want to cross the river directly and then take the land route, you need to open a new road, and then go to the Fen River to get on the boat.

"Send it! Give it to your Princess Jin's family." Zhu Fang knew what his brother meant.

Lao Wu drank a bowl of sour plum soup from Jingshui Town. Everyone didn't eat in the morning and ate until midnight yesterday.

The guards, craftsmen and most of the maids and eunuchs ate it.

"Let's make fried soybean noodles! Cold noodles are hard to digest, so mix them with more side dishes."

Zhu Tie chose the latter. He didn't want to eat freshly squeezed cold noodles, which were not chewy enough. There was no dry cold noodles left in the team. Cold noodles were not convenient to carry, so it was better to bring flour.

So everyone started busy making noodles. Even if the noodles of Zhajangmyeon are machine-made, they still need to be chewed.

However, the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture was not the emperor's biological son. The oil was extracted without refining technology, and it was not even allowed to be retained. It had to be transported out.

However, after harvesting wheat and planting other crops, it is still tiring, and the land must not be left empty.

The work of shelling and grinding wheat in large quantities was started, and the teams bought wheat directly.

Winter wheat has a long growth cycle, so its applicability is wide, especially the high flour extraction rate of high-gluten flour. The noodles of Zhajangmyeon are hand-made noodles, and high-gluten flour is the best. If the buckwheat flour used to make cold noodles has less protein, it can only be cooked with alkali, just like Dandan noodles.

After a while, Zhu Wentian got a good rest. He had to knead the noodles himself. Others could eat machine-made noodles. Now that he is not busy, he wants to make better-tasting noodles for everyone.

The friends helped him cook, and Ling'er took Xu Yihua and six other girls to handle the cold dishes and sauces.

Braised pig ears count as one, clear jelly counts as one, and turbid jelly with skin, celery leaves, cucumber shreds, kelp shreds, spring onions, scallops, mussels, dried clams, dried tofu shreds, vegetarian chicken, yuba, salt Pickled coriander sticks…

The sauces include beef, pork, soybean, egg, broad bean, fried onion and egg in soy sauce, raw sauce...

Then you can have washed lettuce leaves, perilla leaves, radish, celery sticks with leaves mixed with side dishes, chrysanthemum, small roots of garlic, and other edible wild vegetables to use as pickles.

Flour and rice grinding equipment have been placed at the eleven city gates. People who are willing to grind there go to grind and collect some rice husks and wheat bran.

If the people want to keep some white flour, they can first remove the bran on the outside, and then gradually beat it in. Take out the flour separately every 5%, and the people can pack it.

In this way, when people go home, they can mix it together or eat one kind alone, and the sixty powder will be ground out.

Now that the people of Beiping Prefecture have become rich, they are willing to give out good things during festivals or entertaining distinguished guests. In the past, if they didn't have it, they had no choice but to be poor!

"Tell them not to eat mung beans soaked in water. Do you have food at home? We process them for free."

The princes decided what to have for lunch and started practicing calligraphy. As they practiced, Zhu Di looked up and saw a child soaking popcorn sticks in the free mung bean water bowl.

He was unhappy, so he soaked it and ate it. Why don’t you go home and cook sorghum rice? I’ll charge you a processing fee and see if you’re willing to dip it in? Do you think you'll get beaten if you do this when you go home?

At noon, a large group of people came to eat noodles with soybean paste. They came to give gifts, just like the people in Yangqu County, Taiyuan Prefecture.

The people know in their hearts whether someone is good or bad, and by giving things away, I hope His Highness King Qin will understand that the people in the fiefdom are grateful, and he will be kind to the people in the future.

Zhu Di never refuses anyone who comes, and accepts whatever he gives. His return gifts are more valuable than what he brings, and he also invites guests for dinner.

The local officials came over to eat together again. Seeing that the situation was not very good, each person handed in a question book and wrote a plan and summary based on his or her position.

No one asked them to write, they did it spontaneously. His Highness the King of Qin said so much, couldn't he get even a hint of inspiration?
Zhu Di first asked someone to collect them, but he didn't look at them and went back to distribute them to people in Xiaqiu Village.

Jiang Wu's daughter-in-law also sat in a cool place and watched the sleeping little guy eating with the other three children. Today she was asked to eat more sauce. The weather was hot and low salt intake would cause dehydration.

Athletes generally reduce salt intake to reduce fluid intake. For example, when competing in different weight classes, bodybuilders must reduce fluid intake to maintain their lines.

If a woman who is breastfeeding her baby eats too much salt and produces less milk, and if she eats too little salt, she still produces less milk, she needs to constantly adjust. Today is the day to increase the amount of salt.

Babies are also hot and need more water. If they are too young, feeding them water directly is not as good as drinking milk, which can also promote growth and development.

"Mom, which sauce is delicious?" Jiang Wu was also nearby. He didn't move his chopsticks and looked at the family eating there, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"They are all delicious. The ones made with cowpea are also fragrant, and the ones made with fish are also made with soy sauce, scallions, and eggs. They are a little saltier than normal stir-fry dishes. They can be eaten as scrambled eggs with soybean paste."

Wang has tasted everything. The task given to her today is to eat more salty food, walk around more in the afternoon, rehydrate and sweat, in order to cope with the dry weather in Beiping Prefecture.
