Chapter 548: The Beginning of Spring Strategy: Giving Gifts to Others (First Update)
After eating a lot of vegetables during the Chinese New Year, the amount of exercise decreased. Herders and soldiers began to have two meals a day to avoid consuming too much food.

In fact, the remaining reserves are enough to feed the army for four months. Once the weather warms up, the army can be sent out to find food. At least the wheat in Zhu Feng's fiefdom can be harvested.

There are still many fish that cannot do anything in winter. In two days, we will continue to fish downstream along the river.

There was no hope of hunting, not many animals could be seen, the snow was too thick, the riding speed could not be increased, and it took a lot of energy.

The sun rises, sets and rises again. Today is the beginning of spring on the third day of the first lunar month.

According to the tradition of some places, the beginning of spring is called Dachun, and spring cakes are eaten.

On the first day of spring, the government would pull a cow made of mud and beat it with a whip on the street for the people to see.

Tell the people that they can cultivate the land and stop being idle.Generally suitable for Jiangnan area.

If we were in He Lin's position, even if we broke the cow, we wouldn't plow the land, the soil would still be frozen!Bang hard bang hard.

The herdsmen ate spring pancakes for the first time, which were large and one foot in diameter.

Dishes include stir-fried shredded dried tofu with bean sprouts, stir-fried leeks, raw shallots, stir-fried shredded fish and dried cowpeas, and black bean sauce for those who are willing to spread the sauce.

The herdsmen imitated the rolled spring pancake they were given, put the vegetables on the pancake, folded part of the bottom of the pancake and then rolled it, so that the vegetables would not leak down.

Take a bite, take all the staple food and vegetables into your mouth, chew slowly, it is really delicious.

Especially in winter, it is the most enjoyable to eat vegetables.

Others have two meals a day and have already eaten spring pancakes, but here in Xiaqiu Village, they have three meals a day and have to wait a little longer.

Zhu Wentian and his friends cooked extra dishes, including fried eggs with garlic sprouts, shredded pork with Beijing sauce for beef, stir-fried shredded chicken with shredded bamboo fungus, shredded radish mixed with shredded cucumber and carrots, stir-fried shredded Chinese cabbage with dried tofu, and pickled eggplant strips.

The baked spring cakes are not that big, about [-] centimeters in diameter.

Press the balls of dough together and put them together with starch. Half of them are more than ten or twenty. Roll them out together.

In this way, twenty pieces of dough are rolled together and become a thin pancake.

Pour oil into the pan, put the cake in and fry it, turn it over after a while, peel off the top layer of the fried side and put it on the plate, then flip it again, and then peel off the other side.

This is fast and not easy to burn. The spring cakes are thin and will burn easily if baked individually.

When it was ready, the rice wine was warmed, and Prince Zhu Biao and King Qin Zhu Chong arrived.

"Can the cucumbers from the greenhouse be eaten?" Zhu Xi's first words when he saw the vegetables were this.

"It hasn't grown yet. It will take more than half a month to see it." The director shook his head.

"Yes! Then..." Zhu Xi came closer and took a closer look. Yes, it was a cucumber, tender.

"Large radish and Chinese cabbage can be stored for a long time. I bought them when I went to His Highness's fief and packed them in the car.

Cucumbers and eggplants are medicines. Starting from Henan Prefecture, there is always a car growing them, and they can be used at any time on the road.

The car is blocked, no sunlight comes in, so artificial light is the solution.

Now that the cucumbers in the greenhouse are almost ready, we can give everyone the cucumbers in the car that were later moved into the temple. "

The head of the village explained that the village's fleet was planting greenhouses, and it only had one carriage.

"Why didn't you eat anything on the way? You ate them all secretly, right? Brother, they eat alone."

Zhu Xi understood that the village was always prepared for special situations, so it planted a greenhouse with one car, a sneaky kind.

There must be cucumbers and eggplants that are ripe enough to be eaten. I and my brother didn’t eat them, so where did they go?

"I'm afraid His Highness will be thinking about you all day long. In fact, we feel very uncomfortable when eating." The chief raised his sleeves to wipe his eyes. "Who believes it? You must be very happy when you eat it. Don't wipe it. There are no tears. Is there anything else? I want to eat it directly."

Zhu Xi didn't believe it, looked at Li Chang and asked.

"I'll take you there and quietly move it into the palace." The little girl came over, said hello and ran to the side.

Zhu Ping followed, and Zhu Biao hesitated and followed.

When they arrived at the place, the two brothers saw twenty eggplant plants, ten cucumber plants, some bitter melons and lentils.

The vines grow horizontally to a certain height, which is obviously affected by the height of the carriage and is artificially changed.

"It's nice to look at. It looks like peace of mind." Zhu Xi looked at each plant.

"Let's go! Go back and eat." Zhu Biao shouted.

"Let's go!" Zhu Xi turned around and didn't pick any cucumbers at all, including the ripe bitter melons whose seeds were sweet.

Apparently the two of them figured it out. Xiaqiu Village couldn't tell everything to avoid others losing their vigilance.

The desert is not that easy to break into. The village will not take things out until the critical moment.

Only by experiencing it once can you understand how difficult it is. If the village tells everything all the way, people will lose awe of the difficult environment.

Zhu Ming drank wine and ate Hanhan's stir-fried lamb with green onions: "Tell them that three meals can support them, but they insist on eating two meals. What will we do after that?"

He pointed out that everyone had nothing to do and was currently studying hard. In winter, the nights are long and the days are short, so there is basically nothing to do at night. It is not possible to light the lamp all the time, so two meals are enough.

“Make smoked fish, make more of it, and bring it with the team when the time comes, so the herdsmen don’t have to kill livestock for food.

After a few days, everyone's bodies have recovered from the fatigue from the previous work, and then they can dig coal and burn out the cement and bricks first.

You can send coal to the herdsmen in other places who have not come, and take advantage of the snow to pull the sledge to make the road easier.

The war had just ended, and the people were unsure. They had to burn firewood in winter. With coal, they could use more for heating. "

The commander told the two of them the arrangement Hanhan said. Now the soldiers are recovering. Many soldiers from Jiangnan were not used to the previous work. They were physically exhausted and were tired and sick.

Some herdsmen ran over, and some were afraid, and they would not come here in normal winter. They could only live in the mountain col, with the wind at their back.

Winter is the most difficult period for herdsmen who have not had time to reach grassy areas. No one can guarantee that they will survive.

At this moment, if the herdsmen have a lot of stockpiles at home, they will soon be exhausted. In the coming days, they will have to slaughter their livestock to maintain their lives.

If you look at the tents of herdsmen outside the city, you will see that many of them are made of pieces of leather, and pits have to be dug to half-cover the tents in the pits.

Like many herders in Mongolia during Zhu Wentian's time, they huddled there and suffered when winter came.

Not from Inner Mongolia. The tents in Inner Mongolia are all good tents and all have off-road vehicles. In special circumstances, they can call for help and the official will send people to deliver fodder to them.

The difference between the two sides is that the countries are different, and this is how happiness comes.

At this moment, Daming will provide corresponding help to the herdsmen and tell them that we are different from Beiyuan.

At least the herdsmen's tents outside have been repaired and some materials have been added to make them strong and large, so they don't have to live in pits.

Otherwise, if a heavy snow falls, the tent will no longer be visible and will have to be dug out. Therefore, the door must be opened inward. If it is opened outward, the door cannot be pushed open.

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, are the generals here?" Zhu Biao agreed and saw the generals standing outside the glass window, waiting for the announcement.
