Villager of Daming

Chapter 1282: The Good News Is No Trifle

Gege Haji's eyes looked around. As the daughter of a Yuan Dynasty official, she had eaten sumptuous meals before.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, there was the Song Dynasty. "Dongjing Menghualu", written by people of the Southern Song Dynasty about Kaifeng and Bianliang in the Northern Song Dynasty, has recorded a lot of delicious food in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Southern Song Dynasty would naturally continue its research on this basis, and the Yuan Dynasty would also inherit many things from the previous dynasty.

Gege Haji once had a banquet with more than 200 dishes, because this number of dishes was recorded in the Southern Song Dynasty's "Dreams of the Southern Song Dynasty".

At this moment she was a little confused. The dining hall was large, and it was connected to another hall, and there were also small single rooms.

The walls of the hall are covered with photos of dishes. There are also special dishes in the small private rooms, and dishes that take a long time to prepare are placed in single rooms.

If the name of a dish can be written casually, then pictures tell the truth and photos cannot be fake, at least that's what Gegehaji thinks.

"Will all Guanglu Temple do this?" Gege Haji lowered his voice, not knowing whether he was afraid that other people eating would hear him, or worried about disturbing the photos on the wall, even if those photos were not seven-inch black and white.

“Xiaqiu Village did not provide so many recipes, and the photos were not made by one person in Xiaqiu Village, so everyone learned separately.

In fact, you have already tasted the best dishes in Xiaqiu Village, including the twenty-two people who followed the team, plus Brother Hanhan.

Brother Hanhan’s cooking skills are the best in the world. He is very strong and can flip the wok with ease. He can even flip a big pot of rice.

There is a special big pot with ears in the village. Brother Hanhan grabs the thick ears and shakes the big pot.

Just eat something today, look at the ones on the wall, and choose later, don’t rush, eat a few dishes a day.”

Zhu Chong picked up a plate and motioned for Gege Haji to follow and choose the dishes!
Zhu Biao also carried his own plate, and there was a palace maid pushing a food cart beside him, on which he could place the plate at any time.

"What if you want more?" Xie Qiaoer looked at the space on the plate. There were only five dishes. If she wanted to eat six, would she have to combine them with other dishes?
When Zhu Gang saw his future Princess Jin asking, he immediately said, "There is a cabinet under the place where the dishes are placed. Open the cabinet and you will see bowls and plates inside. There is a cart over there.

But we ate here before, so we’ll share as much as we can, and then we’ll prepare more if it’s not enough.

If you take too much at one time, you will have to throw away the food you can’t finish, which is a waste. And some people won’t even have enough to eat!
Take only as much as you can eat and try not to leave any leftovers, but don’t eat too much or throw away what needs to be thrown away.

The food here is basically not eaten a second time. If there is any leftover, it will be immediately sent to the orphanage in Shangyuan County.

It refers to what's left in the big lunch box. We'll feed the leftovers to the pigs.

In the past, when so many people ate at each meal, only half a bucket was thrown away, because some dishes were eaten and some soup was left.

The palace maids and eunuchs dared not leave any food, they would rather not eat enough. They would take a little at a time and eat in several servings.

Xiaqiu Village used to be very poor, and people could not even get enough to eat two meals a day, so naturally they would not throw things away.

There is roast duck in front. Father loves it the most, so there is roast duck every day. If you want to eat it, you can choose a few slices of meat. "

Zhu Gang was very willing to explain to Xie Qiaoer that this was home, and that when he was granted a fiefdom in the future, he would also want to build a similar place.

Xu Yihua followed Zhu Di. Although she was young, she was very thoughtful and kept silent, always listening to others.

She and her father had been to Xiaqiu Village and were not unfamiliar with it. What was unfamiliar to her were the projects that were later added to the amusement park.

Everyone walked around the first floor and went up to the second floor. There were few people on the second floor, and the villagers, palace maids and eunuchs were reluctant to go upstairs as they thought it was tiring!

Generally speaking, people only choose the second floor when there are a lot of people.

For example, when a large group of people from the harem came here, the palace maids, eunuchs and guards would find a place to eat by themselves.

After lunch, everyone dispersed to rest and take a nap.

Zhu Biao did not go to work in the afternoon, as he had nothing to do. He was very efficient and had already finished the papers in the morning. It was evening again, and Zhu Yuanzhang had no special arrangements, so he did not come. Zhu Biao and the Crown Princess accompanied him to the upper floor where there was a market outside.

It is autumn now. It is very cool in the Northeast in the morning and evening, but Nanjing is still hot, and the market is becoming more and more prosperous.

The people have formed the habit of selling their best things outside Xiaqiu Village, and those in Xiaqiu Village who want to buy them will pay a high price.

So if wealthy families wanted to eat good food and lived not too far away, they would send people over, or go there to buy food themselves.

“The leeks here are all without roots and sand, and the celery must be tender, with the old outer stalks broken off.

Look at the peeled onions, you can pick them up and eat them directly, and the cucumbers have flowers and thorns on the top.

In fact, the villagers don’t eat what they sell at all. The villagers have their own land and they buy food and send it to the library.

In a few days, the gardens here will also be closed, and we can only eat greenhouse vegetables in the winter, or we can buy more radishes, cabbages, etc. to preserve at home.

There will be potatoes and pumpkins later. They say roasted sweet potatoes are delicious, but you have to wait. You can’t eat them now.”

Zhu Chong said to Gege Haji who was looking over there with a telescope that the biggest purpose of this market was to allow people in the palace to see how the people live.

Otherwise, with the things Xiaqiu Village has now, there is no need to buy anything else.

When Gege Haji didn't say anything, the fifth brother Zhu Su spoke up, "During the day, people from Xiaqiu Village and the Imperial Hospital extract teeth, fill teeth, and put inlays at that location.

Some are free, and some depend on the materials used.

If a child has lost a tooth and wants to have it replaced, I’ll pretend to bite my teeth and leave them a tooth mark, and then tell them that the tooth will be replaced after a while.”

"Wait for a while, and it will grow out?"

Xie Qiaoer smiled, she thought it was interesting to lie to a child, even though she was only a little older.

"That's right! The head of the village knows the cost, right? Oh! Why are you here, father?"

As Lao Wu was speaking, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appear at the stairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just emerged, waved his hand, ignored the group of people who stood up, and went straight to the head of the village: "Borjigin Bazarawarmi, he surrendered."

"Did anyone beat him?" The village head wondered, why did you surrender when you were the King of Liang? Was it a false surrender?
Didn’t you, King Liang, act like you were determined to fight to the last man before? Why did you change?

"No one attacked him. We are preparing to send a large army to attack next year. We are too busy this year. I guess he was scared, or maybe he just couldn't contact the group of people who ran away."

Zhu Yuanzhang took out the telegram and showed it to the head of the village. It had just been sent. The people in Xiaqiao Village had actually received the telegram, but they just needed to verify the content and abide by the rules, so they did not report it to the head of the village immediately.

The head of the village took the telegram and there was a line of words written on it: Borjigin Bazarawarmi requests surrender, and the letter has been sent.

It was impossible for the person sending the telegram to call Borjigin Bazaarvarmi the King of Liang, so he sent his full name.

Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss. He planned to attack King Liang of Yunnan again next year to relieve his worries.

He never thought that he would receive such a good telegram. He couldn't believe it for a moment, so he came over to ask.

"Your Majesty is right. Without the rear, the front is like a rootless duckweed.

Since he has surrendered, send someone to pick him up. If you can reduce the fighting, don’t increase the killing.”

The village head then said that he couldn't confirm whether it was true or not, so he would take it seriously. If that didn't work, he would use other means to balance it out.
