Villager of Daming

Chapter 1283 Promotion of species has choices
Everyone upstairs had a festive look on their faces, including Gege Haji, who had just defected from the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

She was worried that the Ming Dynasty would use her brother's men to fight against King Liang. What should she do then? Once King Liang surrendered, the world would be at peace.

"We have asked them to send a telegram to ask for details. I guess they just got the news, so they sent the good news first. Hanhan, you want to eat some barbecue skewers? Let's call the girls over."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to go back and planned to wait for specific news here. There were many words and the telegram would take a long time.

We were originally planning to eat hot pot skewers today, which come with chili powder. The team brought back some dried chilies from there, and removed the seeds, but the outer skin is just edible.

In the past, spicy hot pot used dogwood oil, dogwood powder, and dogwood sauce. Zhu Wentian wanted to make the authentic one, so he started by frying the ingredients.

Zhu Yuanzhang wants to eat grilled skewers, so... bring the meat and grill it!

A phone call was made and someone in the village was busy. Zhu Wentian continued to fry the ingredients and ate both skewers.

Empress Ma and Concubine Sun came over, and Zhu Xiongying, who had said he would live in Kunning Palace today, was also brought there. When he saw so many close people, he suddenly felt less sleepy.

When the three of them came over by train, Xiaqiu Village sent over a bunch of freshly skewered meats, mainly beef and lamb. The other skewers were available here, chilled in large pieces of ice, ready for spicy hot pot.

“Is this the power of privilege again?” Gege Haji knows beef, she eats it all the time, and she enjoys the privilege.

"No, this is the power of money. Cows are slaughtered every day throughout Yingtian Prefecture. Some die accidentally, some are too old, and some are sick.

Xiaqiu Village has the first choice, they pay more, and the sick cows sometimes depend on their condition and age.

Cows that have been unable to move or do anything for a few years will not be treated. Only those under three years old will be treated if it is cost-effective, provided that they can be cured.

Today, Xiaqiu Village is studying beef cattle and dairy cows, and the breeding methods are different.

The skeleton of beef cattle is first grown, so they look very thin, but they grow fast. Once their frames are big, they are then fattened.

Animals with longer breeding cycles are more troublesome and time-consuming to breed.

Poultry is the fastest, with new breeds of chickens, ducks and geese already appearing, and they will gradually differentiate in the future.

For example, if you feed ducks and geese distiller's grains to them and force them to eat them, it will stimulate liver hypertrophy, cause them to grow meat faster, and make them fat.

It is not good for us to eat too much, such as high cholesterol and high blood lipids.

But for ordinary people, it is a good thing, the fatter the better, and people's bodies need this kind of nutrition."

Zhu Chong was very patient and talked to Gege Haji about very profound things, which even he did not quite understand.

"So Xiaqiu Village is so amazing here?"

Gegehaji understood that the good things sold by the people would be transferred to Xiaqiu Village first, and only then would the things that Xiaqiu Village didn't want be transferred to others.

If Xiaqiu Village puts up a payment form at a convenience store, others will rush to get it even if they have to pay a loss. Unfortunately, Xiaqiu Village will review it and will not allow others to pay a loss.

For example, Xiaqiu Village wanted 1,000 ducks from Dengzhou, Shandong, alive, and they would pay 30 wen for each duck.

Some merchants specialize in this and they just take it up, while some don't have the channels at all but insist on taking it. Once Xiaqiao Village checks, they find that the cost of one duck is more than 40 cents, so they can't do it.

Some people also wanted to grab it, saying that twenty-nine cents would be enough. Xiaqiao Village also conducted an audit. They asked them to tell me their channels, their profits, the risks and losses they could bear, and how they transported the live ducks.

If you find that you can really do it, then it’s still thirty cents, go for it!

It's your ability if you have the means. Xiaqiu Village estimates the price to be only thirty cents, so there is no need to take advantage of you. We encourage everyone to reduce their own costs and increase profits.

"Little kid, follow Shu'er out for a walk tomorrow, and you'll know something about Xiaqiu Village."

Zhu Yuanzhang was aware of the relationship between Gege Haji and his second son. He saw her yesterday and was quite satisfied. The little girl is smart, pretty, easy to raise, and a fast learner, and so many people believe in her.

The key point is that the second son finally fell in love and delayed the third son, so he quickly took a concubine and asked her to give birth to his grandson as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gege Haji immediately bowed and thanked her. She had thrown Wang Baobao into a corner long ago. Wang Baobao had a family and was still so old. He was already thirty years old this year. Then she looked at Qin Wang Zhu Chong, who was nineteen this year and about the same age as herself.

What's the use of Wang Baobao's ability to fight? He doesn't have any good weapons. If he is given the weapons of the Prince of Qin's Palace, it would be like playing to fight Wang Baobao.

……

"Hiss~~Ha~! Hiss~~Huh~! Spicy, this thing called chili is spicy, huh~~~"

When eating the grilled skewers, Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on dipping them in more chili powder, and ended up sticking out his tongue because of the spiciness.

"It's my first time eating it, and it's really spicy, but different from the spiciness of dogwood."

Queen Ma also felt it and sweat appeared on her forehead.

It was her first time eating it. Even though it had been many days since she had been sent back, she didn't dare to eat it. The imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau had tasted it and it was on the prescription.

Different peppers have different spiciness, including their origin.

The booklet left behind in Xiaqiu Village said that it was edible. Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid of death, so he waited for the headman's team to come back so that everyone could eat together.

It's impossible for an expert to poison the most elite people in Xiaqiu Village, right? The best people are those who can go into the laboratory all day.

"Your Majesty, don't eat too much. Chili peppers hurt from top to bottom. Drink some herbal tea to relieve the spiciness of the peppers."

The head of the village was afraid that the emperor would have problems if he drank the spicy food, so he asked someone to serve him some herbal tea. Drinking this tea would relieve the spiciness in his stomach and lower body.

As Hanhan said, spiciness belongs to pain, a feeling produced when something stimulates the human body, like being scalded by boiling water, which is pain, and so is freezing.

The body will have a passive reaction to capsaicin. As long as the capsaicin is neutralized and the body's reaction is reduced, the spiciness can be relieved.

"Okay, drink! Oh! Hiss..."

Zhu Yuanzhang wiped his sweat. He found that the hotter the food was, the harder he wanted to chew it. The more he chewed, the hotter it became. It was very satisfying.

"Choose the amount of this thing that you can bear, it tastes very good, just like dogwood, green onion, ginger and garlic are also spicy, but they have their own uses."

Concubine Sun felt the food was spicy, so she wanted to experience the consequences of eating too much. She found her mouth was numb, so she drank some iced herbal tea and felt comfortable instantly.

There is also milk shaved ice on the side, using protein to neutralize capsaicin, so that the important people will not have any problems eating chili peppers.

"This thing is actually a medicine. We need to plant it in large quantities. I think it will be better for people to eat it in humid places."

Zhu Biao's face turned red, it was spicy because there was a lot of chili in his shabu-shabu, and he loved it very much.

The Crown Princess didn't dare to eat something so spicy because she needed to feed her baby. She thought of other things: "Will peppers be grown in large quantities by the people like other vegetables in the future?"

Ling'er replied, "Not yet. We have finally brought these things back from other places. Let's grow them ourselves first and sell them to the barbarians.

We make chili peppers into chili sauce and tomatoes into tomato sauce, and we don’t allow anything else to be eaten raw.

While breeding, they also make money from the barbarians, maximizing profits.

However, as long as there are enough seeds of potatoes, sweet potatoes, kidney beans, pumpkins, corn, etc., they must be given to the people.

But the export is restricted, not a single grain of corn is allowed to leave, and goods can only be traded at the Shibosi, and kept in a corral."

Ling'er followed what Brother Hanhan taught her and said that some things were related to people's livelihood and had to be planted for the people.

Peppers and tomatoes are not related to the problem of having enough food. If people need them, they can remove the seeds from the peppers and put them in the Huimin pharmacy.
