Villager of Daming

Chapter 1157: People’s hearts have always been judged by closeness and distance

At the door of the department store, people from the Jurchen tribe with bruises and swollen faces were asking about prices. Others with bruises and swollen faces lowered their heads as much as possible, not daring to speak and listening to what others said.

They knew they were on the 'blacklist' yesterday and couldn't figure it out.

When the princes didn't come before, even though Liu Chaoguan knew that some tribes were secretly close to Bei Yuan, he pretended not to know and wanted to maintain his face.

When the princes come, we will fight by ourselves. Why should we write down that sentence? Oh! If they match, they stay, if they don’t, they go.

Changed, everything has changed, they don’t care about us anymore, how dare he! The discounted items are so cheap, why don’t you do it yourself...

Some people looked at Wu Erduo while they were thinking about it. Seeing the other person's arrogant look, they felt angry and helpless, as well as envious and jealous.

The princes' team on the other side was indeed as some Jurchen leaders thought. They were unwilling to waste more time and energy and took this opportunity to draw in, divide and suppress the Jurchens.

"Hey! Okay! Well! Hey hey hey hey..."

Zhu Wentian grabbed a handful of wild vegetables from time to time to take a look at the place where they were harvested. The wild vegetables grew tender and strong, and the key was that they were cheap.

The fifth child, Zhu Ru, asked for a few more and saw the same plant, but it did not bear fruit.

The wet ones cost ten cents per catty, but the dry ones don't. The locals don't know how to dry them, so it's easy to produce defective products.

As for dog tail sour, big folate and other foods that children like to eat when they go into the mountains, don't use them. They won't have the same taste after they are dried.

It wasn't until the imperial court purchased it that they could collect it and exchange it for money. Ten pounds of various brackens were worth a penny, which was a boon to the local people.

In fact, this is a medicinal material, but I didn’t put it in the right place. Another kind of plum fruit is also a medicinal material. It is sweet, but the hair inside cannot be eaten. When I go to the toilet after eating, my back is itchy, and I can only eat the outer skin and a little bit of pulp.

Zhu Wentian was watching, the friends next to him were recording, and the department store's 'employees' were following suit.

When you go out with a basket on your back, you’ll find them all over the mountains and plains. If you find a shady slope, it’s normal to get a few pounds of cat paws.

For those who don't understand, the grower said that the normal barberry leaves are eaten now and are not suitable as vegetables. Children like it best. They lack fruits and live in the mountains. They eat a lot of things when they go outside.

The local one is called Cat's Paw, and its scientific name is trepanata. The pheasant arm is pod fern. The hairless one is normal bracken. The hairy one is monkey leg fern, which is divided into red and green hairs. Look at the leaves, the narrow ones. Don't take it, it's poisonous.

Zhu Wentian went over and took a look. There was no dust. He pinched the bottom of the plant with his thumb and forefinger, rolled it up and got a bunch of leaves, and handed it to Ling'er.

"The relationship between the sunny side and the shady side, whether the soil is fertile or not, and the growth rate of individual plants. There are very few red fruits now."

As someone from Xiaqiu Village said, Hanhan is born with an innate ability to know the good and bad of these things, just like cooking food that tastes better than others.

These are the leaves of Berberis tenuifolia, which are as sour as the fruit. There are thorns between the leaves. If you can’t eat them, you can pick them off one by one with your hands. If you can eat them, you can pluck them in the direction of the growth of the thorns, and stuff them with a handful. It's a pleasure to eat in your mouth.

He picked it up and gave it to Ling'er. Ling'er picked it up, rubbed it with her hands, threw a few pills into her mouth, and gave a few pills to Xu Yihua and Xie Qiao'er. The latter two kept it in their mouths without any hesitation, and then narrowed their eyes, sore. .

"Here, eat!" Zhu Wentian found a branch of barberry with small leaves hidden in the bracken. There were red beans on it. This one is called dog milk sour, or dog milk sour.

There are a lot of pine mushrooms, also known as blood-red rivet mushrooms, here, but you can only eat them yourself. No one will buy them because there are too many of them. It is obviously not a good idea to only eat mushrooms. They are obviously good stuff, but everyone only eats them occasionally because everyone wants to eat meat.

"It's delicious. Where are the leaves? There are some here too, but the little beans haven't grown yet."

With more diligence and better luck, it is still possible to make 200 kilograms a day and earn 20 cents.

Even if you are unlucky, you can still earn seven or eight cents, and then go to the department store to buy things.

Therefore, it is already difficult for the sergeants to teach the people how to read here. They have to be in charge of department stores and impart knowledge. As soon as the department store receives the goods, people will stop learning! Adults and children go into the mountains together, making money is important.

"We are in charge of this place, but we are in the same dilemma. If we don't collect anything, we can only use other methods to provide daily necessities to the people. It is obviously not suitable, unless we reward people through literacy, but it will also cause losses to the department store.

I'm tired of eating wild vegetables. I remember that at Fuhua House, a plate of stir-fried meat with dried bracken cost 70 cents, and you had to make a reservation in advance.

This Chinese pine grass is more expensive, and it does look like a cat's paw. A fresh plate costs 200 yuan, and weighs half a catty. "

Liu Sheng followed, and suddenly sighed and looked at Xu Da. The shopkeeper of Fuhua Building was Xu Da's cousin.

Xu Da glanced at him: "How can you afford to eat at Fuhua Building? The same dishes are cheaper at the snack area of ​​Xiaqiu Village.

Fresh cat paws are grown in Xiaqiu Village and are not sold to ordinary places at all. In winter, they are always a pound! Greenhouse cultivation.

Since you didn’t spend any money, why do you think it’s expensive? Is it cheap enough to show your identity? "

Liu Sheng: "..."

He discovered that General Xu was not only good at fighting normally, but also unforgiving with his words! I shouldn't have mentioned Fuhua Tower.

Yes, I don't have to spend money to go to Fuhua Building by myself, and I don't need anyone else to invite me. Relying on my father's status, Fuhua Building will give me a card.

After the expansion of Fuhua Building, there was no room for people to sit in it. It was too expensive, so the empty seats left were reserved for court officials, including those of fifth rank and above.

……

Now that wild vegetables are available, everyone will eat them for lunch.

Some fried meat or eggs, some blanched and dipped in miso, the staple food is boiled dumplings with wild vegetables and pork, no alcohol.

"It's delicious. We've been wanting to eat this dish for a long time, especially the dumplings. How can dumplings made entirely of meat not have the aroma of wild vegetables? They taste better when they are cooked!"

Zhu Fan ate a dumpling without dipping it in soy sauce or vinegar. It felt good, just a little bland.

After saying that, he looked at his Princess Jin and suddenly realized something was wrong. That was not a boiled dumpling, but a steamed dumpling.

Xie Qiaoer seemed to have a tacit understanding. She was chewing steamed dumplings stuffed with pork, beef and green onions. When she looked up and saw Zhu Fan, she blinked and continued to chew with her mouth shut.

"Sister Ling'er, don't you eat dumplings made with wild vegetables?" Zhu Fan frowned lightly.

Ling'er swallowed the food in her mouth and said: "There are freshly dead cows that can be eaten. The beef is lean, and it is matched with streaky pork, green onions, and pepper water. It is delicious when steamed!

That wild vegetable! When I was a child, I wondered when I could eat meat every day instead of wild vegetables!

Now that I have finally realized my childhood dream, should I continue to eat wild vegetables? you eat! "

This time it was not just Zhu Fan, one of his brothers and two younger brothers said at the same time: "..."

"I'll ask the chef in the house if he secretly made something good to eat later."

Zhu Xi made a decision, the kitchen is an important place.

His three younger brothers nodded, indicating that they would check out the chef of their palace together, even though they never ate there.
