Villager of Daming

Chapter 49 Difficult to live in the self-hypnosis room (second update)
The next day, the officials and the helpers responsible for delivering grass arrived early in the morning.

Two people from the village are also there. They are not in a very good condition. They probably passed yesterday and drank too much at night.

"Old eleven, old twelve, what's the matter with you two?"

The head of the village asked the two people of the same generation with concern. They were brothers, but they were actually twins.

There are too few successful twins at this age, basically two at a time, both of them die, adults and children.

"I didn't live in the fourth vacant house at the entrance of the village." Old Eleven said with narrowed eyes.

"No, the fourth vacant house is a vacant house." The old twelve yawned.

After hearing this, Zhu Wentian turned around and left. Not long after, the little girl came and brought two bowls of herbal tea with a lot of rock sugar in it.

"Drink it! Go to bed after drinking." The head of the village helped carry the bowl and filled the two people.

The two drank it up and felt much more comfortable.

He was helped away by the villagers and went to sleep in a shady room with someone watching over him.

He drank too much, but he looked fine, so he probably didn't vomit because he didn't eat anything.

What Zhu Wentian taught, don't eat vegetables when you drink too much, the more you eat, the more you will get drunk, don't believe what you say to eat something to fill your stomach, nonsense.

What the two of them said reassured the village head, and he didn't forget to protect Hanhan after drinking like this.

The fourth house in the village was indeed empty, and that house was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds.

It's not that a person died, but the original family in that place changed places.

The terrain there is low, and it will soak when it rains heavily.Once the village discusses it, let's change it!Start a new house.

So the house was vacant, including the courtyard, like a ghost house.

In order to protect the villagers, when the villagers figured out who was behind the house, they said that the fourth house was empty.

I said it dozens of times before going to bed at night, and said it while brushing my teeth in the morning.

After a long time, it has formed a subconscious mind, that is, drunk to death, the last sentence before death is also the fourth vacant house at the entrance of the village.

It is countless times more powerful than the "I won't tell you if you beat me to death".

The entire village has raised Hanhan, the village keeper, for more than ten years. Once someone touches it, the subconscious will play a role.

Everyone saw off at the pier first, and the boat left with a foot-operated cotton plucking machine and [-] catties of caustic soda.

The silver has been sent, 1000 taels, but no copper coins are still given.

The chief of staff took people to see the foot-operated cotton plucking machine, a large box with shafts and pulleys.

A half of the shed was supported in front to prevent cotton wool from flying around, and those who stepped on wore masks and cloth heads.

With the stepping, the cotton pops out.

Its efficiency is dozens of times higher than that of ordinary bows, and the officials watching were speechless.

How on earth did this thing come up with?Could it be that the master belongs to the Mohist school?
Zhu Wentian stood beside the head of the village, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and he had increased part of his productivity.

When you think of productivity, you naturally think of the economy, and then money.

He frowned slightly, and there were still five years left on the treasure note, four and a half years to be precise, starting from the first day of March in the eighth year of Hongwu.

Is it to prevent the issuance of treasure banknotes, or to find a way to help stabilize the value of treasure banknotes?How many aspects do you need to start with?

Zhu Wentian was in a daze, wondering which one was better.

Regardless of whether it is the issuance of treasure notes or the devaluation, a series of reasons and problems are involved.

The original money of the Ming Dynasty was taken away by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, so Lao Zhu always wanted to fight to get it back.

Lao Zhu is unwilling to mine copper ore to make copper coins, and there is even less silver.

Japan has a lot of silver and copper, and the Japanese pirates have always made troubles in the coastal areas, and the Ming people along the coast followed suit.

Coastal areas such as Zhejiang and Fujian were not Lao Zhu's territory at first, but they were conquered later.

Lao Zhu also immigrated from the coastal areas to the interior to reduce the local population and avoid rebellion.

"Hanhan, let's go to dinner." When Zhu Wentian was thinking about things, the voice of the head of the village came.

Zhu Wentian raised his head and smiled foolishly: "Food, hungry, hehehe!"

The officials watched and shook their heads secretly. This fool was in Xiaqiu Village, and he would have starved to death in another place.

The staple food for breakfast is pot stickers, rice porridge, smoked fish, small pickles, and one tea egg per person.

The village has been eating fish for many days in a row, there is no way, there are too many fish.

The boats have started to go out in the middle of the night, to go further afield and drop their nets.

Zhao Li helped find four people, and replaced them every ten days.

All of them are good-natured, but at the same time, life at home is difficult, with many children and family members who are sick.

Zhu Wentian still ate fast, and when he was full, he went to his friends for class.

After he left, Li Zhixian and the head of the village said: "Yichang, your village is getting better and better. When people from outside come to the village for a long time, you must look after Hanhan. He is so stupid that he is easy to be deceived."

Chief: "..."

"Oh! Oh! Thank you magistrate, on weekdays we always tell Hanhan not to talk to outsiders."

The chief followed the words, his eyes full of sincerity.

Li Zhixian nodded: "The village is rich, do you want to build a new house? I know a little about this, so I will help you after dinner."

"Thinking about it, I want to build a brick and tile house, but I can't spare it since the beginning of spring. After planting things after autumn, it will be cold again."

The head of the village is telling the truth this time, he wants a new house, but he has no time.

Not only do I want to build a house, but I also plan to build a two-story building with more rooms so that it will not be so hot in summer.

After dinner, the head of the village led the officials around the village, and the fourth house at the entrance of the village was the focus of the officials' attention.

The yard was overgrown with weeds and no one took care of them, the fences were crooked and some were rotten, the windows of the houses were empty, and pieces of mud and grass were missing.

The grass on the roof is also very strong, and there are spider webs everywhere.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, an expert lived in this house?Then he is really too tall.

"Let's go after lunch! Today we eat roast duck, and we always eat fish. Everyone is tired of it."

The head of the village guessed what the officials were thinking, a hermit expert?
"This..." Li Zhixian hesitated.

"The big fat duck that the village buys outside is boiled with medicinal materials, then brushed with sugar water, and roasted with fruit tree wood. The skin is crispy and the meat is tender.

Slice into thin slices, roll the baked lotus leaf cake, put onion shreds, cucumber shreds, and sweet noodle sauce inside.

The leftover duck rack is boiled into duck rack radish tofu soup, the skin of the radish is peeled off, it is not bitter to eat, and the skin is soaked in vinegar, oh, that taste..."

"This is fine!" Li Zhixian heard the introduction from the head of the village, and he felt hungry again not long after eating.

Other officials nodded one after another to express their support, the village is too good at eating.

……

"Father, the stone soda is here, and I will give you an extra [-] catties. It is said that the stone soda is impure and cannot make the specified amount of soap."

At noon, Zhu Biao came to see his father for dinner and introduced the situation.

Inviting people to bring things in, a foot-operated cotton plucking machine, plus a large bamboo basket.

The bamboo basket is opened first, and the roast duck and side dishes are taken out, and let people handle it first. For those who should try it, there are instructions for making it.

The tofu inside is soaked in water to prevent it from becoming rancid.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a look at the food: "Send a few reassuring people to the village, and wait by the side while the village cooks food. Always testing poisons is too time-consuming."

"Yes, my son arranged it. This is for picking cotton. I haven't tried it yet. I'll find some cotton to play after dinner."

Zhu Biao also felt that waiting was a pain, especially when it was time to eat.

"Actually, it's better to come to this duck's prescription, but that way, there is one less thing in contact."

Empress Ma wanted the recipe for sausage, but she didn't want the roast duck anymore. She knew how to make it, and the village stopped giving it away.

　If you have votes, vote and read along. There will be four changes today, and five changes tomorrow. Thank you brothers and sisters for your support, the farmer is bowing!
