Villager of Daming

Chapter 747: The worthiness of nothing depends on the needs
"Uh... come on!" After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, clenched his fists and waved like a child from Xiaqiu Village.

He can help with other administrative aspects, but technically cannot.

"Come on!" The leader waved his fist.

"Speaking of seafood, the ice brought back by a large number of ships from the Northland will be enough for next summer, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand technology, but he knew the use of ice, which was usually used to cool down.

For example, after using saltpeter to make ice, in order to maintain the hardness of the ice, ice stored in the winter is added outside.

Also, if the room is hot, you need to use a fan to blow ice, then freeze the meat, such as beef and mutton, freeze it into rolls, use a plane to slice it and rinse it before eating.

The head of the village twitched his brows and said, "Your Majesty, please order the people in the North to stock up on river ice, otherwise the quantity of saltpeter will not be enough.

The production of some medicines requires a constant temperature environment, and the temperature must be controlled at all times.

We are preparing to vaccinate against smallpox, which requires this process. It is too late to use water cooling, so ice must be added. "

"Where is the fourth child?" Zhu Yuanzhang became serious when he heard about the medicine. He now knew the special medicine prepared by the village for everyone. If bitten by a poisonous snake, bitten by a dog, the wound may be infected...

Everything will kill people. Some people have abscesses on their backs, and some have abscesses on their chests. If they are not treated well, they will die.

The village is the best at this. Nanjing City, Yingtianfu and other places have posted notices. If you find a big abscess like that, come to Huimin Pharmacy of Shangyuan County, Nanjing.

People from Xiaqiu Village will help deal with it, so it's not a big problem.

If you are bitten by a dog, try to arrive within three days, preferably within one day, and then give the injection.

However, they generally do not come from far away. The common method used by the people is to catch the biting dog, then cut off a handful of dog hair, burn it and sprinkle it on the wound.

Not to mention those bitten by venomous snakes, as long as they are alive, they will be sent to Nanjing. Snake medicine is available in various places, and they are delivered with snake medicine mixed in. It is free of charge and the travel expenses are 'reimbursed'.

"Father, what is your order?" Zhu Di was very active when he heard that he needed to do something in his fiefdom.

"You haven't granted vassal status yet, what order do you give? There have been no Japanese pirates recently?"

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered an existence that once made the court very distressed, the Japanese pirates.

"Return to your Majesty!" Liu Ren, Minister of War, and Hu Weiyong said at the same time.

Hu Weiyong looked at the other party and continued: "Your Majesty ordered the Ming Navy to take the people out to sea to fish and make dried fish to make a living. The people felt at ease and were unwilling to cooperate with the Japanese pirates in smuggling and looting.

Japanese pirates have no internal response. Whenever they come across the ocean, they are always detected in advance by our naval lookouts with binoculars.

This year there were steam boats patrolling the coast again. The Japanese pirates suffered several losses and lost a lot of lives. It happened to be winter, so it was safe. "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily and looked at Liu Ren, the Minister of War waiting eagerly beside him: "What do Liu Qing think?"

"Your Majesty!" Liu Ren said quickly: "Your Majesty, Korea was robbed. The Japanese pirates could not rob the Ming Dynasty, so they went to rob Korea. The Ming Navy's trading ships encountered them once and defeated the Japanese pirates."

A question book has been sent to me for such matters a long time ago. Regardless of whether Your Majesty really forgot or wants to ask again, you must answer.

"Well!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to nod and looked at Li Chang: "What does Yichang think of the attack on Goryeo?"

"Your Majesty, please let the civilians go back and think about it carefully." The chief replied simply, "I haven't learned anything yet. I'll ask the experts later."

"Very good! Let's eat boiled seafood today." Zhu Yuanzhang stopped asking.

... At noon, the seafood pot starts to be cooked, including scallops, oysters, sea cucumbers, conch, mackerel, and cod.

There are no live sea cucumbers. They are harvested in the Northeast, gutted, cooked, and then frozen directly. It’s cold outside.

People in the village specially boil dozens of cones in large pots with salt water, which is suitable for snacks.

The adults can stir-fry the food, and the children can eat it boiled if they don't want spicy food. One child is given an iron piece with holes on one side and a sharp edge on the other.

Children who are good at sucking can insert the back of the cone into the hole and break it off. The front part will go into the stomach as soon as the front part is sucked. If they are not good at it, use the tip of the other side to pierce the meat and turn the cone to get the meat. They can also operate at the same time and break off the back part first. Prick again.

Zhu Wentian At that time, children at the beach usually used keys or iron wire. If there was a hole behind the key, just use it to break it. If there was no key, a piece of iron wire would also work.

At the beginning, chili peppers were expensive, and the children went to the beach to scrape the cones themselves, in the mud on the beach.

Make a wire basket with a net bag at the back, scrape the mud away, and then rinse the mud with sea water, and you will see sea cones, as well as other shells and so on.

The adults don't care, the children form a group, come back and divide the food, and take it to their homes to cook, or they can collect firewood themselves, carry out the pot, cook a big pot, and share it with the parents to avoid being beaten.

The rest is for the children to sit there and eat all afternoon, playing like this in the 90s and [-]s, especially Dalian, which has no name yet and is assigned to Liao Duwei.

Of course not, these seafoods come from the mouth of Jiulian City, the Yalu River, and the mouth of the sea is Zhangzi Island.

There are no people living on that small island now, including another Dalu Island, which has a large land area. Who wants to live on the island?It’s hard to do anything, and farming is not suitable.

There are a lot of crabs in these two places!There is no need for artificial breeding. You can catch a lot of them from the sea. They are not valuable and are too wasteful to cook and eat.

Sea cucumbers were also fished here. Last month, the Ming Dynasty navy went out to fish them by himself. He tied a rope with a stone and dived down. Wearing waterproof goggles and using the dim light of the sun, he half-touched and half-looked, grabbed it into the basket, and then was dragged. Go up.

The water is cold, so you have to go down. Are the navy soldiers afraid of this?After training, if the water quality is good, don't hug rocks and dive hard.

Wild sea cucumbers are indeed good. They are available in seafood shops on the street in Xiaqiu Village. They are very expensive and rich people are willing to buy them.

The Daming navy masters who caught sea cucumbers were given additional rewards, such as one penny for five sea cucumbers.

Don't fish the small ones. If they can still grow, just fish the big ones.

Eat in the palace and in the village to keep healthy.

Huimin Pharmacy also has it. It depends on the situation whether to prescribe this medicine. For example, if a malnourished woman is pregnant, she must prescribe it.

Like Xiao Cao's mother who first went to the bento shop and lied to get more food, sea cucumbers are good medicine.

At present, there are many wild ones, and there is no need to raise them artificially. To put it bluntly, the isolation area for artificial breeding is difficult to set up, and there is no material.

"My lords, eat the one next to you first. Sea cucumbers are slow-frozen. This stuff needs ice, or it should be made dry. It will take a long time to soak it once, and it should not be touched by oil or water."

Zhu Yuanzhang greeted the ministers to eat, and there was someone nearby who was responsible for opening the shells. There was a lot of skill in opening oysters. If it weren't for the high prices in the shops in Xiaqiu Village, no one would actually like to eat them.

It takes a lot of effort to open the shell, and the contents inside become just a small ball once cooked.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a poor man’s meal like oyster omelette, which is cooked with sweet potato starch.

Because sweet potatoes are different from potatoes. Potatoes, that is, potatoes, can be used as a staple food, but sweet potatoes, that is, sweet potato powder, cannot be used as a staple food. It will burn your stomach.

The person who originally invented oyster omelette was definitely a medical student, and he had to be a Chinese medicine practitioner. He knew that oysters can treat stomach pain and pantothenic acid. This is to cure the stomach discomfort caused by eating sweet potato flour. Otherwise, why would you add oysters? Woolen cloth?
