Villager of Daming

Chapter 209
"Master Wang, I'm out to work. I'm going to Nanjing tomorrow. Xiaqiu Village is going to demolish and build houses again."

Wang Yiqian from Ningguo County shouted from the yard outside through the fence that Xiaqiu Village was looking for someone.

"Come in, it's cold, drink honey water." Wang Laolan rushed out.

"No, I have to tell others, hurry up and get ready, didn't I mean to send the third daughter-in-law there? It happened to be together."

The yamen servant waved his hand and ran to the next place on horseback. He must be notified quickly, and there will be good things to pick up during the Chinese New Year.

The next morning, three hundred craftsmen in Nanjing took their positions first. They have not been idle, helping to finish the warehouse outside the city, and went to repair the buildings in the palace city.

This is for wages. One of them teaches three apprentices, helping others, and teaching others the brick-and-mortar skills they have learned.

As soon as Xiaqiu Village was found, they put down their work and let the people who brought them take care of them, and they came to the place one after another.

As soon as I came here, I had breakfast first, fried fish dumplings and cucumber and egg soup. I seldom stuffed with fish here, but it was really good to eat.

Cucumbers are the most expensive, and the temperature in Nanjing cannot support the growth of cucumbers in this season.

This one was picked from the back shed of the Danqing store, for everyone to taste, if not sold, it will be sent to the palace as an extra pile.

Including young eggplants and other vegetables in Ming Dynasty that cannot grow in Nanjing in winter, watermelons and muskmelons will gradually mature in ten days.

The craftsmen took a sip of cucumber and egg soup carefully, as if guilty. Is this something they can eat in winter?
The children in Xiaqiu Village were very happy and successful!Brother Hanhan is really good. From planting to harvesting, he watched the growth every day, helped dip the flowers, and finally it was ready to eat.

……

"This is fucking against the sky! We like it, and we will build a glass shed outside Donghuamen next year."

Zhu Yuanzhang is also eating the same thing, he took it directly, and took it from Xiaqiu Village.

"I heard that cucumbers can only be grown in winter in Yazhou, which is further south of Qiongzhou Prefecture, and Guangzhou can't grow cucumbers. Good! Take out the money in the hands of the rich and circulate it."

Empress Ma saw something farther away. This is not eating cucumbers in winter, it is clearly eating money.

Xiaqiu Village made an example to let people know that glazed greenhouses can be planted, and the palace can naturally be planted on a large scale.

Zhu Biao was eating garlic and cucumber sticks, swallowing them down: "The village head of Xiaqiu said that high-end consumption can satisfy people's needs for status, and most rich people are willing to use this kind of consumption to widen the gap with other people, so as to gain a certain level respect."

"Respect, we don't let them wear silk and satin, then Liu De, always beat us, when your grandparents died, he still bullied us.

If he and Liu Jizu were not cousins, and Liu Jizu gave him a place to bury people, we would really have skinned him.

What is there to respect for being rich and unkind?Take a look at Xiaqiu Village, who wouldn't say yes?Plant greenhouses and sell them to rich people. "

Zhu Yuanzhang vented a few words and returned to reality. Getting angry can't solve the problem, just follow the line drawn by an expert.

"Chongba! I heard that Liu De lives in a trance all day, and always wakes up with nightmares at night. You might as well kill him!"

Empress Ma knew the situation and sent someone to find out. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't kill Liu De, and Liu De himself was afraid.

"Kill him? Let's pretend to be magnanimous. It's easy to kill him. Many people who have fought against us before dare not say their real names. What is their name Hui Wu? Do they dare to come?"

Zhu Yuanzhang has nothing to hide in front of his family, he just pretends to be generous so that people can trust him.

"Isn't the official pretending to be loyal? Let me see! It's better to go to Xiaqiu Village. It's not pretending. Too much is given, so I can't pretend like this."

Empress Ma changed the subject and praised Xiaqiu Village.

"That's from our old Zhu's family, Biao'er, you can ask, do they want the iron scroll of Dan Shu?" Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to give something.

……

"Father, his uncle, tell me the truth, how is my family's Shu doing now?"

Wang Shu's daughter-in-law boarded a boat in Xiaqiu Village, holding buns in her arms and refused to eat them, and asked her father-in-law and husband's brothers who ate buns.

"Xiao Duan! You eat buns, don't leave them for Shu'er, he has no shortage of food. Tell me about stones." Wang Yiqian couldn't say it.

Wang Laolan smiled awkwardly: "At the beginning, we begged the head of Xiaqiu Village to find a way, and the head of the village said to set up a trick..."

He blah blah blah blah told the story of the digging, including using his connections to transfer from Ningguo county government school to Shangyuan county government school.

"Then he still thinks he is in debt now?" Wang Shu's daughter-in-law burst into tears.

"No! He has learned it well, but the tricks are useless. When he met His Highness King Qin and His Highness the Crown Prince, his whole person changed. When he went to the county school, their teachings were also good to him.

Give him the next trick, he avoided it, stayed in the Danqing shop and didn't go out, studying the Three Character Classic all day long, learning from the children in Xiaqiu Village.

Now it's time to learn the thousand-character prose, and help with the calculations, he seems to have guessed something.

You go over and make separate arrangements for the two of you to have a baby early, and he will be more stable when he has a baby. "

Wang Laolan told all the things, he was very happy, his younger brother is sensible, which is better than anything else.

"I'll leave the buns for him." Wang Shu's wife insisted.

"Let's stay! It's not short of a meal or two." Wang Yiqian couldn't persuade him anymore, he actually knew that the third child was eating well.

So it was almost noon, and the fleet arrived in Nanjing. The craftsmen helped to carry the things they brought, and they went to Danqingdian together.

The Danqing shop continued to sell boxed lunches, and the cooking staff had changed again.

A good chef must be able to cook a big pot of rice. Those who can make a big pot of rice can definitely make a small fry, but those who can make a small fry may not be able to cook a big pot of rice.

Selling boxed meals is the best exercise, because you have to cut a lot of vegetables every day, and you need to be strong when frying. Use a shovel in a large pot, and the strength of your wrist in a medium pot can shake dozens of catties.

As for the small frying pan, it's like playing with it, you can turn it however you want.

The children in Xiaqiu Village would occasionally practice and learn from Brother Hanhan, including horse riding. Xiaqiu Village sent horses, and they could ride around the city.

"There are only four seats left. Come here for a box lunch. You can eat well for three or five renminbi. It is the safest place to eat here. Food is the most important thing for the people, and safety is the first priority. What can you eat outside for three renminbi... Eat well." ? Go slow!"

Wang Shu yelled at the door of the store, greeted someone who left him, and greeted someone who came over, and at the same time remembered how many people left and how many places were left.

"The head of the house." Xiao Duan, Wang Shu's daughter-in-law, rushed over with the buns in her arms.

"Daughter-in-law, why are you here? Go in and have dinner, father and brother." Wang Shu's eyes widened.

"Have you eaten yet? I'll save the buns Xiaqiu Village gave me." Xiao Duan took out the buns and crushed them.

"No, I eat buns, you go to eat, brother Chang, my wife is here and brought me the buns from Xiaqiu Village."

Wang Shu took the bun, turned around and shouted back.

"Understood brother, let's cook vegetables. If you don't go hungry, you won't know how good your wife is."

The inside replied that they understood that the buns given by Xiaqiu Village were for eating on the road.

I brought the steamed stuffed bun here, which means that I didn’t eat anything on the way to Xiaqiu Village and then to Nanjing.

Naturally, fried dishes have to be served as a small stove.

　besides!Zero crossing is considered today, and there is a seventh update.
