Villager of Daming

Chapter 818: This year’s event is serious and I’ll invite the group again

When noon came, the children were wearing new clothes and waiting for dinner. They had stained their clothes while playing, so they just took a bath and changed into clean ones.

They have a lot of clothes, so it’s not tiring to use the washing machine. They change them every day and then wash them. They are very easy to clean unless they are stained with oil. There is gasoline, so use it to wash them.

Everyone in the Clothing Bureau uses it. They don’t feel cold in winter and are much better than before.

The earliest washing machines required people to control the switch to rotate forward or reverse.

It is very easy to improve, just add a gear set, and when it is turned to a certain level, it will scrape the switch and then reverse it.

The person who washes the clothes is only responsible for checking the clothes first. If there are any special marks or oil, they must be washed separately. If there are no problems, throw them into the washing machine, put in the laundry detergent, add water, turn on the switch and do other things.

After the clothes are washed, check to see if they are clean. If there are any unclean areas, wash them by hand. Wait for the torn areas to dry, and use the newly learned darning method to darn them.

They were all grateful to Xiaqiu Village. They were not so tired or beaten, and they still had time to read and learn to read.

Of course, the clothes of the children in the palace will not be washed for them. The palace maids will take care of them, and they will naturally be under the control of Xiaqiu Village.

As soon as the banquet started, Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma came to the child's side to see if he had eaten enough and that there was no problem in the morning.

"Is it so delicious?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. His children ate the braised pork with great effort, and their mouths were full of oil.

The little cakes with cream are coming one after another and I can’t stop.

I'll eat the egg custard with oyster sauce and honey as long as it's given to me. It's not royal jelly. It's too small and I won't give it royal jelly.

The staple food of lard and soy sauce mixed rice, the older children shoveled it into their mouths, and then quickly went to pick up the twice-cooked pork or steamed pork buns.

The palace maid helped to separate the big lion's head with chopsticks, and the child took a bite of the lion's head, a sip of soup, and a piece of sausage.

"Everyone is edible!" Queen Ma was happy. No matter which concubine's child she had, she liked them all.

"Yichang means not to ask us to kill people, it will be easier for them."

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, very angry. People from Guanglu Temple and Taiyuan Hospital said that they eat too much meat during the Chinese New Year and should eat something light.

As a result, the adults ate well, but the children couldn't eat it. People in the two places said that this further proves that they eat too much meat during the New Year.

It’s like fart, look how you can eat now?The children have been hungry these two days.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry to go back to eat. After the children had finished the rationed meals, he served fried fish steak, chicken wings, chicken legs and yam sticks.

The children were still so happy after eating. After drinking warm freshly squeezed juice, they were finally full and their bellies were bulging.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted his head one by one: "Go to sleep first, then get up and play again. I won't go back today."

Voices of thanks to the father rang out, and even those who were being fed complementary food also said that the younger ones who could only feed themselves with milk had already fallen asleep.

The children in Xiaqiu Village nearby also thanked His Majesty so that they could continue to play with their friends.

"Go back, we're so angry." Zhu Yuanzhang put his hands behind his back and walked back, so angry that he wasn't even hungry anymore.

Everyone here did not dare to use their chopsticks and waited for His Majesty. Fortunately, Xiaqiu Village considered the possibility that His Majesty would come to watch the children eat, so the dishes were prepared without fear of waiting.

Today, the emperor and his ministers had a casserole, one set for each person, and a small rooster stewed with mushrooms. Today, I chose blood-red rivet mushrooms, which have the richest flavor, the taste of pine trees.

Young roosters are specially raised for food. You can't just kill the chicks when you see that they are male. There is no shortage of feed.

There are three types of mushrooms to choose from: the blood-red rivet mushroom, the hazel mushroom, and the worst-looking sticky dumpling, the yellow mushroom. This mushroom must be peeled and dried, and is most susceptible to insects.

Other mushrooms grow normally, but sticky dumplings are a type of pine mushroom. Once the pine branches fall off, they stick to the mushrooms. They are also sticky to the touch, but they are fresher than other mushrooms.I got it from the Jurchens. It was in small quantity and no one liked to eat it. I was disgusted by it and threw it all away. I accidentally brought it among the pine mushrooms and hazel mushrooms.

This year I plan to tell the people over there to peel and dry them and bring them over. Don’t throw them away. Let’s eat them.

In addition to this casserole, there is also white meat stewed with sauerkraut without vermicelli, plus fish head, bamboo fungus, and cabbage heart tofu.

Four casseroles, no separate soup, no need, there is no shortage of soup in the casseroles.

Add fennel beans, salted edamame, scallion oil dried tofu, garlic cucumber, and it's just right for drinking.

There is no work in the afternoon. The ministers have worked very hard all morning, finishing things quickly and having a relaxing drink.

"Where did the body of the fat-headed fish go?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the casserole and knew how to cook it. It was not a fish head in a casserole, and it couldn't be a little rooster. It couldn't be finished.

It is made in a large pot and then placed in a casserole to continue heating. This method is not as good as making it directly in a casserole, Xiaqiu Village said.

"Your Majesty, we eat pickled fish at night, using the body of the fat-headed fish, but the pickled cabbage is different from the current white-fleshed pickled cabbage." The chief replied.

"We know there are differences. The pickled fish is made from mustard greens. The mustard dumplings are made from pickles. There is a big difference in texture between those made with sauce and those made after being slightly pickled and stir-fried. White meat pickled vegetables are made from cabbage."

Zhu Yuanzhang expressed his understanding and served the rice wine: "You gentlemen have been waiting for a long time. Let's drink first. It's still warm! Drink a small bowl of rice wine, and then change it to beer."

Everyone brought small wine bowls one after another. Each bowl could contain three taels, but very little, of rice wine soaked with medicine.

It seems that I will eat and drink slowly today, and I can eat all afternoon. Then I will bring food home in the evening. I will not eat it myself but share it with my family.

After the ministers took a sip of wine and put down their bowls, Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "I told you during the meeting that this year is special, and the future of the Ming Dynasty will all depend on this year.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs wants to increase its manpower and keep an eye on us. Local officials are not allowed to have any obstruction, let alone corruption.

We will never be lenient to anyone who tries to play tricks or tricks with us. If something is done well, we will reward it. If something is not done well..."

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the food. Others should do the same and then pick up the food.

The singing and dancing troupe came over to help enhance the atmosphere, so don't stay silent.

The ministers were silent for a while, occasionally eating something, and thinking more about the problem. This year, they have really spread their wings, with many things and heavy responsibilities.

This year, there is a summer drought in Beipingxing Province, but there are no other disasters, and there are no military disasters. I am busy getting through it today, and I will be comfortable in the future... right?

Thinking like this, some people looked at the head of the village. It doesn't matter what he said in the future. It depends on what the experts in Xiaqiu Village mean.

Chief: "..."

"Oops! I was so busy during the Lantern Festival that I forgot to take photos for you. Tomorrow morning the village will send people to take photos at your homes. We will take a family photo first, and the rest will be casual."

Li Chang thought of something, taking photos at night is not suitable, the light is too poor, lighting and fill light are not as good as natural light.

Everyone suddenly recalled, yes!We agreed to take photos!Tomorrow morning...

"At noon, we will send someone to pick up all the ministers' families at noon tomorrow. We will have a meal again and set a time for those who need to take care of the sacrificial hall."

Zhu Yuanzhang interjected, changing the time, it would be too early for the people in Xiaqiu Village to disperse, so call them.

　Not today!
