Villager of Daming

Chapter 159 Grain Processing Guess Voice (Fourth)
The villagers don't drink alcohol, and they have to work outdoors in hot weather, grinding flour for food.

Four waterwheels with a thresher and a noodle grinder. The noodle grinder is a pile of iron sheets made into a sleeve, and then punched to make a sleeve. The sleeve is rotated by bearings and pressed against each other.

With the replacement of more perforated and smaller sleeves, the surface grinder will grind finer, and at the same time, it can divide the proportion of the tissue to be ground.

The thresher is simpler than the noodle grinder, the hydraulic drive speed is not fast, and there are not so many large and small gears.

When the imperial court changed crops, Xiaqiu Village used waterwheels to quickly thresh wheat, and used another thresher when harvesting rice.

The soybean fields that the officials watched after drinking wine are ready to be harvested, and they will ask other villagers for help.

Regardless of the 100 mu of land, normally [-] people would harvest it in one day, but Xiaqiu Village did not have enough people.

There are a lot of livestock and poultry in the village, and they must be taken care of. Old people can no longer do hard work, unless they are not as rich as they are now.

The pregnant nine also had to be careful and only do light things.

The children are responsible for studying, sleeping to grow their bodies, and doing manual chores.

The people in the kitchen are in charge of cooking, and don't worry about the rest. They have to practice their skills hard.

It is said that some people will be assigned to Nanjing to sit in town in the future, selling boxed lunches, not high-end meals, and will grab the business of the Fuhua Building next door.

People in Xiaqiu Village began to shift to technology and service, reducing physical labor.

Those who have studied well are technical management positions. Otherwise, all the work depends on the villagers themselves, and they will not be able to finish all the work.

Tongzhi plucked a bean pod with his hands, squeezed it open, and said, "It's really ripe. I haven't eaten edamame this year."

"The rotation with wheat is fast, and we can eat it at that time, and the soybeans planted after harvesting can be eaten again."

The head of the village didn't believe that the other party would eat edamame at all. Everyone waited for the soybeans to mature. How many of them were willing to pick the beans in advance and cook them?
I have never eaten it in my Xiaqiu village. This year, I can eat it. It is open to eat, and it is not bad for that little bean.

It is estimated that if the yield of beans per mu is high, the imperial court will come to change the species again, and simply sell most of them to the imperial court, and exchange a small part for their own consumption.

Otherwise, the soybeans produced in the [-] mu of land would be too much to eat every day in the village, and there would be no place to store them.

I don’t know how to eat the wheat I changed this year, so why don’t I just sell steamed buns, bread, and cakes in stores in Nanjing?

Under the sun, the officials turned around and went back to work in their own buildings.

The chief called Hanhan back to the room: "Hanhan, I just remembered, what should I do with the wheat I exchanged? Thirty thousand shi!"

Zhu Wentian glanced at Li Chang in surprise, did you remember?
Of course, he didn't blame the head of the village, but said seriously: "Selling to the palace, not to the court, we owe the palace more than 3000 taels of silver.

It will take a long time to return it only with glass mirrors, and we dare not make money with the telescope, it’s just the cost.

In this way, His Royal Highness the Prince can take the grain to the people, and where the people's life is not good, he will send some wheat.

Thirty thousand shi of wheat is only more than 6000 taels of silver. Let's pay back the money first, and we can borrow it later. "

"Yes! In terms of silver, [-] shi of wheat is not much. From now on, we will sell enough wheat every year to give Ningguo Mansion [-] guan of student aid."

The chief found it really not difficult, but once things were reduced to taels of silver, it would make people feel less.

"If you don't sell wheat, you will pay the wheat for money. If it is not easy to sell, the local people eat less wheat, so they all grow indica rice.

Given the wheat to Ningguo Mansion, Ningguo Mansion will find a way to arrange it. When the time comes, everyone will feel good after eating it. Once the wheat planting is promoted, they will learn.

The common people don't understand so many things. Anyway, if you let them see that you have succeeded in planting wheat, they will follow along with suspicion and dedication. "

Zhu Wentian is purposeful, it is the same in any era, and it is not limited to people who cultivate the land.

The people who farm the land are the most conspicuous. They usually plant like that. If someone suddenly plants something else, they will say: "Fucking around, let's toss!"There is something to be said about where and when to plant what.

After others finished planting and making money in the first year, they said: It just happens to be lucky, this can still be done every year?

They made money again in the second year, oops!This seems to work!No, if it doesn't work, it can be cheated for a year.

In the third year, others will continue to make money, sowing must be sown, and he cannot earn all the money.

Then everyone planted it, and the other party changed it to another plant. The amount of things planted was too much, and the price could not be sold. It was not as good as the original plant!
This is especially true for the people of the Ming Dynasty. One is guaranteed, and the other is that it may not be possible to plant manpower.

"Success, do as Hanhanyou said, if you weren't a village guard, our village wouldn't grow like you."

The head of the village admitted that when the rice was harvested, he was already exhausted and had to rent animals to grow rapeseed and grow it together with ramie.

It is not allowed to change people, even the government. Only the village guards move the rice bundles in the field first, and the villagers follow suit.

"En! Shou." Zhu Wentian responded.

"Hey hey hey." The chief rushed to hey, he finished: "I'll go back to work first, you rest."

"I'm leaving, your house. Hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian called to stop the village chief who was about to go out.

Chief: "..."

……

"It's too hot and stuffy. Boil mung bean water, add salt and sugar, and give it to everyone in the imperial city. Biao'er is here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang commented on the inscription, the palace is not cool at all, today is in the ambush, there is no wind, and sweating even lying on the bed, it makes people want to soak themselves in the water all the time.

Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that some people would suffer from heat stroke, so he asked to prepare mung bean water for the courtiers working in various places and people in the harem.

As he spoke, he heard someone calling His Highness, he looked up at the door, and walked in.

"Father, I will drink mutton soup tonight, and Xiaqiu Village will drink it at noon." Zhu Biao put the letter in his hand on the case.

"It's good to drink mutton soup." Zhu Yuanzhang casually said to read the letter, just one sentence, and asked Liao Yongzhong how to make the navy go to the upper reaches of the enemy.

"What does this mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand, so just ask Liao Yongzhong?Then why is Liao Yongzhong still unable to do anything?

"Do you want to ask?" Zhu Biao was also puzzled.

"Ask, send it out immediately." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about the answer, and time was running out, so he wrote.

The letter was sent to Guizhou as quickly as possible, and Zhu Yuanzhang approved it for a while. After all the questions were approved, the sky was still dark, and the summer sky was long.

People from Kunning Palace came to ask if they would go there for dinner, and Zhu Yuanzhang took the people who came to ask back directly.

When they arrived, the princess was mixing cold dishes with Empress Ma, mung bean powder, shredded cucumber, shredded thousand sheets, shredded radish, shredded fried eggs, coriander, soy sauce, mature vinegar, sugar, salt and mashed garlic.

This dish tastes sour, sweet and refreshing on a hot day, and it goes best with wine.

"You can't put too much mature vinegar. Some people don't want to eat too sour. If you want to eat it, it has mature vinegar radish skin!"

Empress Ma explained the key to cooking for her daughter-in-law. The princess really didn't learn how to cook at home, just like Zhu Biao couldn't cook.

"Come on, sister, help us take a look at what this means?" Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the letter.

Empress Ma swept over, frowned slightly, and then said, "The expert knows the way, and he also knows that Liao Yongzhong will think of a way when asked."
