Villager of Daming

Chapter 703: There are many famous people in the palace

"This thing is actually delicious." At noon, Zhu Biao deliberately came to eat bamboo maggots. Some were long and some were round.

"There are villagers at the princess's side who will give it to her." The village chief said, thinking that Zhu Biao was afraid that the princess wouldn't be able to eat.

"No need to send him away. The princess has taken the child to the village. Xiongying needs other partners to play with him. The children will compete with each other to learn to talk, run and jump, and eat together."

Zhu Biao discovered the benefits of Xiaqiu Village. There were many children. The children in the palace were accompanied in the past, so adults did not need to teach them hard. The children could compete together and compete in everything.

"The bamboo maggots are delicious, can they be raised?" Zhu Xi asked as if he had discovered a business opportunity.

"Your Highness, the technology is available, but it is not suitable for raising. There are many bamboo maggots in the bamboo forest, which is harmful to the bamboo forest.

Without long-term acquisition, there are many ways for people to make money. Adult bamboo bees are medicinal materials. Twenty new prescriptions will be released tomorrow, three of which include bamboo bees.

There are more insects in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan than in other places. The locals in Yunnan like to eat insects.

One is poor and does not have much meat to eat; the other is medicinal, the locals know that insects are tonic and can remove dampness.

They prefer to eat it grilled. It is not delicious because it is fried, but it is poor and lacks oil. "

The head of the village refused to raise them. He indeed has the skills and it is not difficult to raise them. The key point is that there are already many bamboos in the forest, so there is no need to find someone to raise them specially.

“There is more oil in Daming. Regions such as Shandong are diversifying soybeans and sorghum, and here we are diversifying rapeseed and ramie.

The fruit of the tea tree is pressed for oil using the method taught in Xiaqiu Village. It is also an oil crop.

You can promote bamboo maggots and let people eat them. They are better than eating meat. Unless someone is allergic to protein, don't touch them. They will make you get lumps after eating them. "

Zhu Ping followed up and agreed that people should eat more protein-rich foods.

Due to the large number of poultry raised in the three prefectures, the price of eggs has dropped, and the people are no longer reluctant to raise and eat their own eggs.

If we continue to promote people not to drink raw water as much as possible, the number of people going to Huimin Pharmacy for medical treatment will drop significantly this year.

Make money, be in a good mood, have eggs to eat, and be in good health. If you don't drink raw water, some diseases will be prevented.

Now it is being promoted to other places, and the number of Huimin pharmacies has increased.

The original Huimin Pharmacy was only available in large places. There were not enough medicinal materials and the court could not afford the money to collect them.

If people are starving to death in a disaster-stricken area, how can there be any Huimin Pharmacy or Almshouse?

It's true that a large number of people who are malnourished and sick go to see a doctor every day, and others who can't survive go to almshouses to wait for relief.

If you don’t have money, Yingtian Mansion, Taiping Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, and other nearby prefectures can provide it.

The head of the village told everyone: "I will start selling it in the delicatessen today. One pound is sixteen cents, and two taels are also sold. Two taels are about fifteen or six cents. After deducting the cost, I make three cents per catty."

Bamboo maggots are fried to reduce the weight, plus the oil cost and labor cost, the price is eight cents per pound.

It costs five cents. After frying, there is a profit of three cents per pound, and after paying tax on two catties, the profit is almost one cent.

Compared with eating pork belly, the pork is not much processed. Unless it is stuffed, most people cannot accept bamboo maggots.

Like the big green bugs of the tussah silkworm, they can generally only be fried. Even the locals in Liaoning, most of them are not willing to use them to make dumplings.

"People who want to come and drink at night in a restaurant street are willing to eat. 120 pieces per pound? That's enough for drinking."

Zhu Fan looked at the fried bamboo maggots on the plate in front of him and found that if he chewed one and then drank some wine, he could drink a lot of wine.

Like fried soybeans and fennel beans, eat them slowly and use them to grind your teeth.

Four people can eat one portion with wine, and one person can be full with a bowl of noodles. It is very suitable for drinking and chatting.

If you eat meat skewers instead, you won’t be able to eat more than a few bites at [-] cents. If you want to save money, you can mix green onion leaves with salt, which is cheaper. …

Fried bamboo maggots start selling at three o'clock in the afternoon. The days are getting longer and the days are getting shorter. Ordinary people have to eat early and go to bed early to save lamp oil.

I just come here now to buy something to take home, or I can only eat here and in the snack area at night, where there are electric lights.

At night, if people nearby want to do some housework, such as basket weaving, they will find a place nearby and use the light of the lamp to work.

Scholars don't want to take advantage of this bright light. It's more comfortable to go to the library, and there is free hot soup to drink. If you don't want to go home late, you can stay there and have free breakfast the next morning.

"May I ask what this is?" Someone came to the delicatessen to buy cooked food and found new items for sale next to the sizzling chicken rack, and asked curiously.

"Fried bamboo worms are good for your health. They are a designated delicacy in the palace. The prince and the four princes ate them at noon. You can try them."

The seller introduced it, fearing that others would not buy it, so he used it to advertise in the palace.

"Can you taste it?" The person who asked picked up the bamboo toothpick next to him and pricked it, threw it into his mouth and chewed it. He nodded while chewing: "It's delicious, crispy and fragrant. It deserves to be from the palace."

"Yes! Do you want to buy it?" the seller asked.

"No, I'm going to buy pig ears today. I have guests to entertain." The man shook his head.

"Great!" The seller stopped trying.

Another person came over, tasted one, weighed half a catty, and prepared to go home for dinner and dinner.

By nightfall, the delicatessen shop had sold more than [-] kilograms. The signboard in the palace was easy to use, and the people knew the background of the delicatessen shop and did not lie to others.

As soon as it gets dark, the snack area sells more and more. Beer barrels are pushed by carts. Everyone drinks, their life is better, and they have spare money.

……

"It's crunchy and crunchy. Unfortunately, some people are allergic to protein. They can't eat this or that."

Zhu Yuanzhang lit a lamp to eat at night. With the lamp, he could do business for a while. Oil lamps and candles hurt his eyes. Today's incandescent lamps are bright and the light will not shake, unlike candles and oil lamps.

He doesn't pay the electricity bill and can use it as he pleases. The generator is not here and he can't hear anything.

When it's time to go to bed, switch to one with a lower wattage and painted in a warm color, and it will always stay on.

There are no four corners in the entire imperial city, and all places are fully lit, which makes the people on duty and the palace maids and eunuchs feel happy because they are afraid of the dark.

"It's natural, but you can't force it to eat. It will kill you. Xiaqiu Village said that if it's too late, they won't be able to rescue it."

Empress Ma said that Zhu Yuanzhang was not pretentious, but he was born like that.

Zhu Yuanzhang ate two more: "I don't know if I can sell what I collected. I will give it to the ministers tomorrow and ask them to eat it. They will write poems to praise us and help Xiaqiu Village sell it."

“This is not a business in Xiaqiu Village, it belongs to the palace, and Xiaqiu Village doesn’t want the money.

Xiaqiu Village currently only makes money from the village's output and shops. Their glassware and other things have given up the profits to us.

Selling drunken crabs and greenhouse vegetables this winter can increase my income, but I think it will be spent by them again, which feels quite pitiful. "

As Empress Ma said, she discovered that Xiaqiu Village actually had little income, and the white fungus and bamboo fungus they managed to grow were exchanged for things from the barbarians.

Clocks, glass mirrors, and music boxes are never sold in Xiaqiu Village themselves. The jewelry they wear is still made of colored glaze. Outsiders think it is expensive, but those who know better understand that these things can be dropped casually.

"Pity? Do you believe that Ming Dynasty is short of money now, and they can immediately come up with new things that make a lot of money? They have a strong technical reserve!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not think that Xiaqiu Village was poor at all. Xiaqiu Village just didn't want to put too much money in the warehouse.
