Villager of Daming

Chapter 1145: It’s not easy to catch rabbits, but the vegetables become more fragrant

"He's dead? He passed away after changing a lot of medicine? He's clearly from the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"

The news soon spread that the rabbit seller had run away and had changed a lot of medicine.

There were already forces from the Yuan Dynasty here. If He Lin hadn't been defeated, the forces here wouldn't have been able to be cleaned up.

In fact, it was not cleared. The people of Beiyuan ran to the northeast, and there were Jurchens there, so the situation was complicated.

The strategic layout given by Zhu Wentian is to defend the Bohai Bay. It turns out that there are still people from Beiyuan in the Liaodong Peninsula!

Zhu Yuanzhang also meant the same thing. As long as he couldn't fight over there, he would slowly win over the generals who divided the Jurchens and Beiyuan.

Internal efforts were made to develop the economy, especially the cultivation of food crops. New weapons had to be manufactured, the army had to be trained, and the people had to be taught how to read.

Once everything is arranged, you can ask which force in the Northeast is unwilling to surrender.

Unexpectedly, there was a shortage of medicinal materials there, so he came here pretending to be someone from the grassland to sell rabbits, and then changed the medicine and ran away.

Liu Sheng didn't understand, so he hesitated: "Do you have that many people?"

Liu Sheng suggested that since rabbits are sold and eaten, the common people should also eat rabbits!

He already knew that those rabbits were not raised. The Beiyuan people hiding here sent out a large number of people to catch them, and then brought them to the mutual market.

"Yes, yes, sister Ling'er is right, hurry up and make arrangements." Zhu Rui, the fifth child, looked even more anxious than Ling'er.

As long as people from Xiaqiu Village are here, we don’t have to worry about it. If other people are not accustomed to the local environment, will they have Xiaqiu Village? Is there a team from Xiaqiu Village in Beiyuan?
People get sick if they are not acclimated to the climate, and they also get sick if the climate changes. In fact, everyone gets sick in normal times! What's more, leaving your homeland for a more remote location.

"It's not easy to catch rabbits this season, right? Haha!" Xu Da laughed.

Ling'er shouted anxiously: "Tell everyone who buys rabbits, we will dispose of the rabbits for free. Bring them over and we will clean them up quickly."

"Rabbits... the common people bought them, and some of us harvested them at the mutual market, just in time to make rabbits for eating. We have good male rabbits and female rabbits to keep and cross them with the rabbits raised here to see if we can select good rabbit breeds. "

Zhu Xi said that he found that the acclimatization was not suitable for him and the pH of water in different places was different. When he was in Taiyuan Prefecture, because the local water was highly alkaline, he had to adjust his meals.

Then, if the people don’t want duck blood, duck feathers, and other bits and pieces, we’ll make them into delicious and useful items.

"Yes." Zhu Xi patted his chest: "Guarding the city, when we were in Fourth Brother's Beiping Mansion, we helped the people make ducks.

"Yes! Leaving a familiar place and moving to a strange place will indeed make you acclimated. They don't know that the reason for the acclimatization is the flora. If you move to a new place, you won't drink raw water or eat raw food. Food, well… sometimes doesn’t work either.”

You can only catch rabbits. Catching rabbits in the grass is a technical job.

The grass is tall in summer, and it is impossible to shoot with bows and arrows. Shooting so many rabbits with all bows and arrows will inevitably make people guess the problem.

If people in Beiyuan are sick, it is guaranteed that Jurchens will contact them and know the situation here.

The headmaster showed a smile on his face: "I think a lot of people got sick last winter. Some diseases are difficult to recover from on their own. Maybe there are Jurchens who can help secretly deliver and change medicines."

There is some duck down in duck feathers. After cleaning and degreasing, it will keep warm when placed under clothes and quilts! "

"Yes, we also help the people with food." Zhu Fan agreed.

Liu Sheng: "..." He just thought that the team was really serving the people wholeheartedly! I didn’t expect anything to be left.

Zhu Di shook his head: "Every citizen has a rabbit, and the internal organs are thrown away. The rabbit skin will be left, and the rabbit blood must be thrown away. They can't handle it specially."

Now Liu Sheng realized: "Your Highness is right. When buying things in Xiaqiu Village, they buy whole pigs and whole sheep. They buy a lot at once and then throw away very little.

Chen likes to eat braised food in the snack street. The raw materials there are all supplied by Xiaqiu Village. Others buy it at a price, heat it up, add some pancakes and rice noodles, and sell it.

I remember that when Xiaqiu Village wholesaled the food, a portion of braised food cost two cents, while others sold it for three cents. After deducting depreciation and fuel costs, a portion of braised food earned half a cent. Quite a few. "

He didn't say how much he earned, but he sold sixty servings of stewed stew and made a profit of thirty cents. If he couldn't sell it, it proved that he was cutting corners and others would not come back after eating it once.

Some people were reluctant to go there at first. They had to pay for sanitation fees, stall fees, and lighting fees. They earned thirty cash a day, and had to spend an extra five or six cash, as well as pay taxes.

As a result, people who were reluctant to spend money saw their colleagues in the snack area earning more than ten times their own income. If they wanted to go there again, they would have nowhere to go.

I no longer feel jealous, but blind.

Hearing that Liu Sheng missed braised pork, the head of the village thought he should help: "Maybe we will collect pigs tomorrow? You mentioned braised pork, and we are all greedy."

Liu Sheng's eyes showed surprise: "Thank you, Chief. How many pigs do you want?"

"It depends on how much the people are willing to sell. They still have to keep some of it for themselves to eat and give birth to. Is the boar raised for eating castrated?"

The village head considered the issue of sustainable development and harvested all the pigs, so that the local area would not be able to expand the scale of breeding.

"We know." In order to eat, Liu Sheng was very enthusiastic. In fact, it was not that he had not cooked braised food here.

People here don’t know how to do it, he instructed. After it’s done, not to mention eating it, the smell will make you feel sick. Is that pig food?
Later, when the sergeants came over, he was happy. It turned out that the sergeants didn't know how to cook it, but they had eaten it. The food in the military camp was provided directly by Xiaqiu Village.

The team is looking for a place to help people dispose of things. There must be a water source nearby, well water, which is cleaner than river water.

"It's good now, you can still eat sausages, blood sausage... let's make pig blood! The pig's small intestine is made into sausage, the pig's large intestine is braised, and the head of the large intestine is made into nine-turn large intestine."

Ling'er thought about how to eat pig offal. Don't worry about the pork, you can eat it however you want.

"That's great!" Liu Sheng was moved to tears, and he could finally eat authentic nine-turn large intestine again!
He knew that the masters of Xiaqiu Village were powerful, but he would rather eat the food cooked by Xiaqiu Village. The food from Fuhua Tower was simply incomparable. He could only taste the dishes of Xiaqiu Village when he followed his father to the imperial city for a big banquet.

Gaizhou County Magistrate Ma Fei and County Prime Minister Niu Jinde and other officials looked at each other and didn't understand. They had eaten the food cooked in Xiaqiu Village. It was delicious, but it felt very simple.

Or just eat grilled skewers. What is the nine-turn large intestine? Is the sausage a sausage?

……

It took some time after dark for the dishes to be ready, but there was no sausage. We still had to wait until we could eat it tomorrow.

A pile of pig offal was simmering in the big iron pot, along with freshly made tofu and fried bean paste. The pig blood was not put in, as it would stew into pieces and sink to the bottom of the pot.

The nine-turn large intestine made by turning the intestines back and forth with tools was put on the table first. Except for the people in Xiaqiu Village, everyone else who had eaten this dish was salivating.

"Your Highness, General Xu, shall we use chopsticks?" The leader saw everyone staring and sniffing, and couldn't help but remind him.
