Chapter 720: Tasty Newt Fish Breeding Path

The satiated forest frog fell asleep again due to low temperature and biological clock. Xiaqiu Village said that the artificial breeding was successful.

Next year we will not kill the farmed hash toads, but will continue to raise them.

The headmaster put on a tourbillon watch, and so did the other children.

It's Hanhan and his friends, 23 people in total, each with a tourbillon watch.

There are people in the village who also wear it. Either they don’t have this thing, or they can be mass-produced if they have it.

Zhu Wentian is not careless and insists on making it by hand. He has the equipment, and he makes it by hand to provide data for the equipment.

When a tourbillon watch appeared, he could improve the equipment to process the parts.

What needs to be considered in this process is the yield of finished products and the rate of defective products. Don't add sentiments and say that everything is purely handmade.

It's not embroidery, it can't be replaced by anything else, it's just machine manufacturing.

Therefore, all Zhu Yuanzhang's women in the palace each have a tourbillon watch, even their babies.

In another half month, everyone in Xiaqiu Village will wear them. Don’t ask for them from outside. If you don’t have them, you won’t give them!
"Your Majesty, that watch..." Zeng Lu spoke again, and everyone ran to Xiaqiu Village to gather.

Today is the winter solstice, the 29th day of the [-]th month of the lunar calendar, tomorrow is [-]th, and the day after tomorrow is the first day of the leap lunar month, so we have three consecutive days off.

"Don't call it that watch. If you say this watch, I won't give it to you. I really can't give it to you. No matter how mass-produced it is, it's just like the transparent glass in Xiaqiu Village.

Now that we understand the technology of glass, we have brought you colored glass, which is transparent and can be used as a telescope.

People in the palace will not spread rumors. No one in Xiaqiu Village will act alone. I give you a tourbillon watch. What should you do if you are robbed? "

Zhu Yuanzhang did not let go. His tourbillon watch had been collected. The first one, the most precious one, was feelings!

Now wearing another one, Xiaqiu Cun is really awesome, and his skills are improving very quickly.

But he felt that his pocket watch was the most valuable, not to mention the inaccurate time.

"Your Majesty, is it possible to build a bell tower on the riverside and in the library? There is a clock tower in Hanshan Temple. It was the most prosperous in the Southern Song Dynasty." Zeng Lu retreated to the next best thing.

"Hanshan Temple? This..." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the chief.

The chief nodded: "What Doctor Zeng is talking about is... Gusu, His Majesty said before that the passenger ship will arrive at midnight.

Of course, there is also the road leading up to Fengqiao, where fishermen can go fishing across the river.Since the night ban, no pedestrians have ever heard of the crow calling the bell outside the city.

I think Dr. Zeng wanted to use the same method for time calibration in various places. After all, we now only believe in the inheritance of Chinese civilization, not Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. "

Zeng Lu: "..."

"I only ask for etiquette, but never give instructions." Zeng Lu explained.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the merits, was it this?

The head of the village nodded. He did not criticize Zeng Lu. Zeng Lu was the best at observing etiquette. He had no Buddhist or Taoist thoughts. It was etiquette that existed throughout ancient and modern times.

"In this case, De Zhiduo will work hard and make some arrangements. Ask Xiaqiu Village for the things." Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.

"I obey my words!" Zeng Lu was happy. What he wanted most was to put a big clock in the library so that he could check the clock when he went home.

The bell tower on the riverside is visible to passing ships. As a censor, he has been too busy recently and happened to be in charge of the construction work.

……

"This braised salamander has a very good taste. "Youyang Zazu" once recorded: The salamander is like a catfish, with four legs and a long tail, and can climb trees. When there is drought, it often climbs mountains with water, covering its body with grass leaves, opening its mouth, and birds Come to drink water, because when you suck it, the sound is like a child. When people in the gorge eat it, they first tie it to a tree whip, and the white sweat on their body is like juice. Only then can they eat it, but it is poisonous." During lunch, Zeng Lu took a bite of braised pork. The giant salamander tells a record that people in the gorge generally refer to people who live in places where water and mountain gorges are located.

The ospreys raised by fishermen for fishing were also recorded as being raised by people in the gorge.

"There are many fish, and you can always see them in the stream, but no one eats them, so they are so delicious."

Along the way, Xu Da saw the giant salamander many times. He looked slimy and didn't want to eat it.

Others nodded, indeed, it seemed to be everywhere, but I didn’t expect it could be braised in braised sauce, and it tasted really delicious.

The leader took a sip of wine and said: "Salamfish is a tonic, suitable for men, women and children of all ages. If word spreads, they may be caught in large numbers. Well... they will be caught endlessly, but it will only increase casualties.

There is a breeding method in Xiaqiu Village. After a few years, there will be many dolls that can be used for food and medicine.

It should be more expensive than pork when raised. It can be steamed, fried, or stewed, because it can be used to set bones and supplement calcium. "

The village chief thought that it was impossible for the people to catch all the giant salamanders, so he felt relieved. Some of the places where the giant salamanders grow are in the deep mountains and old forests.

There are not only giant salamanders there, but also other wild beasts and poisonous insects. It is very dangerous for people to go in and catch them.

He was also worried about spreading the efficacy and delicacy of the giant salamander, and asked the people to catch all the salamanders that were apparently easy to catch.

Hanhan has been writing prescriptions. Maybe they will use something. In the future, Huimin Pharmacy will be opened all over the Ming Dynasty. How can it be done without medicine?
"Xiaqiu Village will raise it first, and then we will see how to teach others to raise it." Tang He said the method, and Xiaqiu Village has always done this.

"We have started raising them in caves. Salmons eat meat, and the village is ready to artificially breed bamboo maggots, earthworms, scorpions, and centipedes.

Some are used for medicinal purposes, and some are used to feed other things, such as forest frogs, and newly raised salamanders. Chickens and ducks grow faster after eating them.

Expecting people to capture and buy them later will easily cause people to contract diseases, make it unsafe in the wild, and waste labor. "

The head of the village told everyone that the village has started to raise more than one species.

The village has the conditions for breeding. The dung of various livestock, especially cow dung, is needed for bamboo maggots in the coming year. The pupae are raised first, and when they grow wings and lay eggs, a special place is provided.

Hire other people to operate it and teach them that if they want to raise it themselves in the future, it’s no problem. When the time comes, Xiaqiu Village will take it over.

"Xiaqiu Village seems to be able to grow anything. Will we be able to harvest the bamboo maggots next year?"

Yan Xizhe, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, has a question about collecting bamboo maggots. At the moment, Xiaqiu Village is still collecting bamboo maggots, as long as they are available.

In the process of harvesting, people make money. It happens that there is nothing to do in winter, so they go to the bamboo forest to look for maggots.

Businessmen pay part of the tax after making money, and the tax goes to the Ministry of Household Affairs. They also pay tax when selling fried bamboo maggots in Xiaqiu Village. This increases the government's fiscal revenue and benefits the people.

The head of the village nodded: "Receive it, as long as you send it, you can collect it at any time, five cents per catty, the village will use it to feed the chickens and ducks, and to cultivate the chickens and ducks."

"The food for chickens and ducks is too expensive." Yan Xizhe thought it was unreasonable.

"Mixed with other feeds, not bamboo maggots to feed the chickens and ducks. How did you get around Xiaqiu Village? Have you never seen the feeding place?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised. When he visited Xiaqiu Village, there was a special explanation there. Didn't you pay attention to it?
"Your Majesty, the older one knows, but the younger one thinks he has less to eat and keeps feeding him."

Yan Xizhe quibbled that he really didn't care about the farming in Xiaqiu Village, he only considered the wheat harvest.

Like him, many people only care about staple food and ignore non-staple food. In fact, having more non-staple food saves staple food and makes people healthier.

Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to this point. Eating meat provided oil and water, which indeed reduced the consumption of staple food.
