Villager of Daming

Chapter 1096 Watering the Grass for the People's Good Heart

Golden silk jujube does not refer to the appearance of the jujube, but to the ripe jujube when it is torn apart, and sugary threads appear between the torn jujubes.

Just like roasted sweet potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes have strings in the middle when they are torn.

The most common ones are figs, which are torn open and have sugar shreds inside, and dried persimmons, which also have sugar shreds inside.

Miyun golden silk jujube is this. It is called golden silk when it is torn into sugar threads.

To explain it more straightforwardly, when you pull maltose, you will get a lot of strands from the syrup.

To be more specific, carving sweet potatoes requires a bowl of cold water during the carving process. Don’t drink it before eating. It will be dry in one mouthful.

The officials listened and became more knowledgeable again. How come there is so much knowledge everywhere!
No one drinks or eats kebabs for lunch.

The cooked noodles should be boiled twice with well water and eaten like noodles with soybean paste.

Xie Qiaoer ate the most happily. She was restricted in what she ate on the boat in order to avoid going to the toilet.

The entire team had to stop when she went to the toilet, and no one dared to leave her behind.

"Sister Ling'er, I don't eat braised eggs. I feel like my stomach is full of eggs. It's been a day and a half."

When Xie Qiaoer saw the braised eggs delivered, she shook her head vigorously, scared!
"Then don't eat this bowl of noodles. Don't eat it. I'll make something new for you. Malatang, or spicy pot, with thick oil soup."

As soon as Ling'er heard this, she immediately adjusted the diet of these people. Sister Qiao'er didn't go to the toilet for a day and a half, and the others probably did the same.

The people in Xiaqiu Village became busy. The team that went there was not only Xie Qiaoer's eleven people, but also many others. The demand for the spicy pot was high.

The ingredients are used to induce diarrhea, not to stop diarrhea.

In about half an hour, the people who went to Taiyuan Mansion, Xie Qiaoer and others felt comfortable.

When someone gives a massage, they eat first, then massage, and then...

Xie Qiaoer's complexion is better, and she feels like she can eat a pound of noodles made of flour, the kind that doesn't count braised noodles and side dishes.

In fact, it’s okay not to massage. There are other methods, such as enemas, which are good treatments for dryness.

Obviously enemas were unacceptable to the Ming Dynasty, or the civilization of previous Chinese dynasties.

But through massage, the same effect can be achieved, and it will go out in no time, especially if you have taken in saturated fatty acids before.

……

The people passing by were invited to eat noodles here. I don’t know if it’s because the sauce is good, the noodles are good, or because it doesn’t cost money, but the people are almost full.

It was a hot day, and the people in the team did not dare to overeat the people, who would have suffered from heatstroke and fell to the ground. After coaxing and persuading, the people were allowed to drink a bowl of mung bean water, and they were completely full this time.

"Uncle, where are your family from? Where are you going?"

Other people carry flour bags, or have a basin with a lid on it, and put wheat or flour in it.

There is a family here carrying a bucket. There is no wheat or flour in the bucket, and the bucket is wet.

Zhu Di was curious, he couldn't carry water from the river home to drink, right?

"When I came down, I heard that the princes here provide food to eat, so I don't need to bring pancakes at home."

The older man rubbed his belly, looking like he wasn't full and wanted to eat but didn't dare.

There were four other people with him, a woman slightly younger than him, and a young couple. Next to the young couple were a pole and two wooden buckets with gourds and gourds in them.

"Uh...why did uncle go downstream? Is there a shortage of water in the village?" Zhu Di continued to ask.

"The village is not short of water. There is a well in the village. It was dug during the last drought. It saved lives. We have experts in the Ming court."

The uncle shook his head, said proudly, and patted his forehead: "Your Highness asked what we were going to do downstream? We have watered the river, and our family planted land downstream."

The ground does not need to be taken care of, and water can be poured directly. Perilla is planted on the roadside, as far as two miles away.

When there is a drought, the perilla will die without watering it. We water it every few days to let the perilla grow. "

Zhu Di suddenly understood, but at the same time he was still puzzled: "Uncle, you are planting two miles along the roadside, aren't you afraid that others will pick it off?"

"Others are picking it! Why should I plant it if I don't pick it? Perilla leaves prevent heatstroke! If I plant them, isn't this a drought? People passing by will pluck a few leaves.

If you have steamed buns at home, grab some more and place them under the steamed buns when you get home. They will taste delicious.

If you really don’t want to steam it, wash it and add some salt. It tastes great as pickles. My eldest grandson and granddaughter all like to eat it.

A lot of it had been pulled out, and it was still growing. After more than a month, the seeds came out. I knocked the seeds off and sold them to a department store.

If others are willing to roll out the seeds, they can eat them dry and squeeze out the oil.

They were planted last year, but no one collected all the seeds. Some people picked them off, rubbed them, and ate the seeds, but most of them were left to our family.

As you walk along Erlidi Road, the wind blows and you can smell the scent of perilla, which makes you energetic. "

The uncle and Zhu Di were talking about the purpose of planting perilla. He didn't want to guard against others. Instead, he hoped that passers-by would pick the leaves and eat them.

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "Uncle, do you think it's a good deal to do this? It's all given to others, and others don't know you. Don't you feel it's a loss?"

"What's the loss? We've helped others, and we're happy! While we're watering, we can also check to see if the land at home is growing well. After harvesting in the fall, we planted soybeans and sorghum this year. I listened to the sergeant and planted them first. Sorghum, then plant soybeans, and let the sorghum shade the soybeans..."

The uncle laughed as he spoke, looking very happy.

"Okay! Very good! Just be happy!" Zhu Di nodded with a smile and turned his head: "Uncle Wang, how long does it take to make a better cart."

"Your Highness, just call me Lao Wang." Wang Yiqian first reminded Zhu Di that he shouldn't call him uncle casually.

Then he replied: "The rims, bars, bearings, and pig skins are ready-made. Using wood as the frame, it takes half an hour to make a wheelbarrow. If it is made entirely of wood, it still takes half an hour."

"We made both wooden and steel wheels. We made two wooden wheels and asked them to change them. I guess they would be reluctant to push the steel ones when they encounter uneven roads."

Zhu Di thought for a moment, a wheelbarrow has three wheels, the steel is valuable, whether it is rings, bars, or bearings, they are all expensive!
"Your Highness, wait a minute." Wang Yiqian received the order to find someone to do it. He talked a lot for half an hour. With the tools, everyone divided the work and the speed was very fast.

There is no need for a ruler, just talk about the dimensions, and everyone will know what they want to make. When the time comes, they will be combined and a wheelbarrow will be completed.

There are only a few old craftsmen in the team, and the others are all apprentices. The children of the craftsmen start learning from a young age. If they don't have this ability, they will not be brought in.

When the uncle who was taking his family to water water heard this, he waved his hand quickly: "Your Highness, if you can't do it, we don't want it, let alone the steel one. Why do you want to give us the car?"

"I'm so happy! I can help others. Uncle Wang will make another bucket, two! One iron bucket and one wooden bucket, which can be mounted on the car."

Zhu Di replied to the uncle with a smile, and added that this way there would be no need to carry water, as the wooden buckets for carrying water were very heavy.

　It’s gone today. The farmer will go back to Sanya tomorrow and will update more when he gets back. It’s too dry here and the farmer can’t adapt to it.
