Villager of Daming

Chapter 1305: I Don’t Agree with the Prosperity

"Ling'er is the smartest. Thanks to our village, otherwise, we would have to plant new species brought back from outside for many years before we could understand their conditions and then gradually promote them. Many of them would be done by the people themselves."

Zhu Yuanzhang praised the experts in Xiaqiu Village, saying that they had already planned how to plant the crops before they brought them back.

Including what kind of soil is good, what kind of environment it is suitable for, and the rules of planting.

Once the things arrive, they are cultivated in large quantities immediately, and then the people are asked to do it.

The masters in Xiaqiu Village are familiar with everything and even draw diagrams of the grafting of some vegetables and fruits.

This is so worry-free. Normally when encountering a new crop, shouldn’t one be afraid first, then observe, then try to understand, and then plant it when one finds it is good? In the process of planting, collect experiences of failure and success, then make adjustments, and finally promote it!

As a result, these things did not exist at all in front of the masters of Xiaqiu Village, and all the steps were skipped.

Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied and walked to the place where pork was sold.

The weather was cold, but not so cold that the pork was immediately frozen into a hard lump; it was still soft when I cut it.

There was a lot of straw hanging next to the pork stall, which was used to string the pork together.

There is a hand-cranked stuffing grinder on the table. Now you don’t have to cut the meat into small pieces to make the sauce. Not to mention ten pounds, as long as you buy it, we can grind out a hundred pounds for you. If you want lean meat, you will get lean meat. If you want fat, you will get fat. What about soft bones?
"With this thing, can Zheng Tuzhen still die in Guanxi?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered "Water Margin" written by Luo Guanzhong, which was published by Danqing Library and was quite popular, mainly because it was divided into chapters. Storytellers loved to buy it, and then it was serialized in newspapers.

The chapter-by-chapter style is the first chapter, the first chapter, the second chapter, the third chapter...

Chapter 2, Part 1, Part 2...

When publishing a book, it is published by chapters, one chapter per book, and newspapers are written in episodes, and sometimes one episode is divided into several times.

Anyway, everyone loves to buy newspapers now. At least they sell well in Yingtian Prefecture and several surrounding prefectures, and occasionally they can give people free advertising.

They say they are not in a hurry to earn advertising fees, so they will promote it first, which is an initial investment.

Zhu Yuanzhang recalled the incident in which Shi Dalang fled to Huayin County at night and Lu Tingjie beat up Zhen Guanxi.

Cutting the meat filling is the most troublesome part. Now we have manual meat mincing equipment. You just need to divide the meat, and the rest is just shaking it.

Everyone was stunned. How to answer? Novels are novels, but if this plot is true, will Zheng Tu die or not?

Hu Weiyong suddenly stepped forward at this moment: "I think that Zheng Tu's life or death has nothing to do with whether the meat is cut or not. The reason why Lu Zhishen ran away is because he knew that the other party had a government background and was connected.

In a dynasty, when problems arise among low-level officials, and problems arise at every level, fairness, justice and equity are no longer there, and destruction is not far away.

The Northern Song Dynasty was not destroyed by the Jin Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty was not destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty was not destroyed by our Ming Dynasty.

It was their final administration that went wrong, and it was the people of the world who destroyed them.

The people of the Ming Dynasty are now living a good life under the leadership of Your Majesty, and the people's choice is correct.

Therefore, I will go to the local areas, bringing your majesty’s grace and care.”

"Well! Zizhong is right. This year the people will have a good year. Next year, the two lakes will be in need of people! We need to send important officials to make people feel at ease."

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Hu Weiyong was still afraid, so he gave him a reassurance, saying, "Celebrate the New Year first, and I will arrange for you to go there tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hu Weiyong was so moved that he almost cried. He really didn't want to clean himself up? That's great!
The butcher who was selling pork at the stall raised his hands to his chest, pulled his arms back, palms facing upward, and looked at the people of Xiaqiu Village with a pleading look in his eyes: What should we do? They are talking like that, should we kneel down, or pose like this?

"Cut the meat, make it thin, uh~cut, cut~uh..." Zhu Wentian said. "Cut it for the sauce." Qi Qili was so worried that he had to help.

"Yes, you, uh, are not stupid! Yeah! Hehehehe..." Zhu Wentian laughed happily.

"Let's cut it? Ten pounds, right? Without any fat? We can afford to cut it, but can you afford to wait? We won't get beaten, will we?"

The butcher had obviously read the novel, or he had listened to the storytelling and knew the content.

He would not say who was teasing him, he just cut whatever he was told to do, cut 10 pounds of lean meat, then 10 pounds of fat, and finally 10 pounds of cartilage. Why did he cut the cartilage? Never mind.

The key is whether to cut or not to cut. Everything takes a long time to cut.

"How do you usually sell meat fillings? First, two pounds of pork belly and pork belly, which is the most delicious when making dumplings. Or cut it into three parts fat and seven parts lean meat for minced filling!"

Ling'er came to help out. She glared at Hu Weiyong and said, "You are the one who is always troublesome. Your servant, your servant, are you afraid that others don't know who you are?"
"Ah? I, I took a knife? Zhen Guanxi was beaten to death after taking a knife."

The butcher became even more frightened. He didn't think he could defeat the guards with just a knife in his hand.

"He was beaten to death because of the knife? Did you also give three thousand strings of cash to take a concubine, and then drove her out and asked for another three thousand strings of cash in return? Cut it quickly!"

The fifth brother Zhu Su chimed in, saying that he was not afraid of the other party touching the knife! Is a knife faster than a gun?
The butcher also understood this and nodded, not daring to say anything more. He took a knife and cut the meat into three parts fat and seven parts lean. He then cut it into small pieces and stuffed them into a hand-cranked meat grinder to push out the little bit of meat that was previously in there. Only then could he put the meat into the grinder normally.

"Okay! This is how the deal works, let's go!" Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied. The meat in the meat grinder needed to be pushed out first, which was a good point.

As soon as the line left, just like buying tofu before, I bought all the meat from the stall, and weighed the bones and offal according to the price of the meat.

"It's free to get bones in the water, we'll take whatever we can...

Forget it, I’ll send the bones and offal to the store in Xiaqiu Village later. It’s time to close the stall, it’s time to close the stall!

It’s so early, so I went to the braised food shop in Xiaqiao Village to buy some non-pork food, and also bought two cans of beer, which my wife loves to drink.

It's easier to do it at night, and give me a baby. Zheng Tu is stupid. He thought he was taking advantage of others for nothing, but it turned out to be the price of his life. "

The butcher who sold pork shook his head and prepared to buy cooked food and wine and go home to find a wife and have a baby.

But he definitely doesn't buy pig ears or anything like that. He just sells pork. If you want to make braised food, there are braised seasoning packages sold in Xiaqiao Village, and you can buy them and make it yourself at home.

He wanted to eat braised lotus root slices, soy products, duck necks, chicken necks, beef tendons, and braised lamb faces, and buy a few grilled chicken racks for his two children to chew on, and also buy half a pound of popcorn sticks. The children would definitely be happy.

The man next to him who was also selling pork looked at his colleague with envy. He had wanted to ask him to treat him to a drink, but from what he said, it was obvious that this was not possible today.

Zhu Yuanzhang no longer asked the butcher what he thought. He always had a smile on his face. The supplies were really abundant, and most importantly, there were many people buying vegetables.

The master is indeed a master. He has arranged every step. The people are not hungry, and they will not agree to rebel even if you ask them to.

"Yichang, do you think this is a prosperous era?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked the head of the village.

"Your Majesty, countless emperors throughout the ages have asked this question, and the answers given by their ministers reflect the prosperity of the times! However, I am not a minister, so I have no answer!" responded the village head.

"That's right! The prosperous world in the master's mind is not like this. My dear gentlemen, I hope you will encourage me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang realized that the current level of prosperity was not recognized by the experts.
