Villager of Daming

Chapter 88
At night, the lanterns are still bright. The lanterns in Xiaqiu Village must be lit every night from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Moreover, it is a glass lantern, painted with red paint, and has a pendant underneath. This kind of lantern is not afraid of the wind.

Tomorrow, instead of using red lanterns, pick a glass lamp at a certain distance, transparent glass, to illuminate.

Use it when you go to the hut at night, and use a chamber pot in the house, which has a bad smell.

In fact, the village is rich and can light lamps for a long time. In the past, only sacrificial halls and mountain temples prepared lamps.

Wherever Hanhan lives, there is an ever-burning lamp, and he doesn't use a lot of oil for one night. When Hanhan lives in, he will fill up the oil himself if he runs out of oil.

Villagers look for Hanhan by looking at the lights, and if the sacrificial hall is not lit, it must be in the mountain temple.

Now at night, there are bright lights everywhere in the village, there is no way, there is a lot of oil.

Last year, we harvested an extra crop of rapeseed, as well as ramie seeds and jute seeds, all of which can be used to extract oil.

The squeezed oil dregs are fed to livestock, one by one, one by one, one by one, and they will be strong.

Song Zhifu and others processed the official documents under such a lamp, and then wrote the title book on it. The village gave 1000 taels of silver.

They didn't dare to accept it privately. This was Zhu Yuanzhang's early Ming Dynasty, and today His Majesty kills officials without blinking an eye.

Tomorrow morning they will leave after eating. It will be spring and there will be a lot of rain. By the way, they will check the rivers to see if they are in danger of bursting their embankments.

Don't dare to be careless, if something goes wrong, you will lose your head, really.

There is a stove in the room, which is warm. After the officials are busy, they wash their faces and sleep soundly when they lie down, which is more comfortable than at home.

In the morning of the next day, there were no glutinous rice balls, and they were changed to fried buns, a lot of pickles and spicy soup.

The authentic Hu spicy soup is peppery, not hot peppery, without chili powder or chili oil.

Let's see what other materials are available!Let some go, and put meat for those who eat meat.

There is no beef, and the village has not eaten beef for a long time.

It is better to put chicken, which is not fishy, ​​add thousands of pieces of shredded silk, fungus, tofu cubes, eggs, soaked dried vegetables, and marinate it to thicken it.

Eating this thing alone is Hu spicy soup, and it is stewed in tofu.

At that time, Zhu Wentian said in Henan that two mixes are tofu nao with Hu spicy soup.Ask for tofu nao separately, you can add sugar.

Looking at the breakfast, the officials in the mansion began to envy the officials of Fuguo County.

The county magistrate can come to the village at any time, there is a reason! 22 villages, I have to see.

The government officials can't do it, so many counties!You just go to a village in a county?

You want to surpass my county-level officials so much, how good is it for you to be a county official?
No matter what you think, you have to eat.

Fried buns stuffed with pork and scallions, fried garlic sprouts with Chinese sausage, fried egg with spicy Polygonum garlic bean sauce, half a salted goose egg, seaweed radish and tofu soup.

This is the breakfast in Xiaqiu Village, not counting the small pickles, it is included in every meal, and it is a regular side dish.

"The county still needs to investigate! The weather is getting warmer, and Xiaqiu Village is the first village in our county to grow wheat."

Li Zhixian didn't want to leave after taking a bite of fried buns. Why is it so delicious?You can have another meal at noon.

The county magistrate, chief secretary, and Dian Shi nodded, yes, we can work harder and inquire in the countryside.

Some officials in the mansion glared at him, show some face!
Last year, when you were sick, you came here for many days, and after you recovered, you talked about taking care of yourself.

The whole village was healed for you in three days, how many days did you stay there?
"It's just like that! It's still important to focus on the county's official duties." Song Zhifu said, and they all went back to me.

He knew that the four main officials in the county would come down to Qiu Village so as not to delay their work, and that the yamen servants would ride around on horseback to deliver official documents.

Someone reported to the county, but these four people did not personally try it. How big is that case?

Most cases are handled by petty officials, mainly mediation, not if someone's dog kills someone's chicken and they will be promoted.

Prefect Song is not happy, how long did you stay in the village last year?
You eat and drink by yourself, and the yamen servants who are responsible for passing official documents back and forth can also get things, and take what you gave to your family with you.

Did you give me the key?No, it's because you don't always sit in the county office, okay?

Tell me about your behavior, what will the chicken think?What do you think about Duck?What do you think of the big goose?
"Go back together." Li Zhixian reluctantly compromised, understood, but felt aggrieved.

Why didn't I give you anything?You all forgot the braised pork that the village specially brought to you?
Everyone had their own thoughts, finished breakfast, and prepared to return.

The village gives arrangements, soap, soap, rock sugar, candied haws, vegetarian meatballs, dried salted tofu, fermented bean curd, black bean sauce, sausages, cakes, bread, shrimp oil side dishes, braised pork.

According to the different grades, the number of packages is also different, and the government servants have a full set.

The 1000 taels of silver were taken away, everyone waved goodbye, and the chief looked expectant: "The gathering is short, and the time is endless. You often come to guide! Every time we leave so quickly, everyone hopes that you will not leave."

"Get out, hurry up, let's go, hehehehe..." Zhu Wentian brushed off his presence, raised his hands and waved them together.

officers:"……"

……

"Yichang, Yichang, I heard that a batch of pigs were transported from Dangtu County, and they were killed and sold for meat, which was cheap.

It is said that the livestock there were much sicker last year, and now it is time for spring plowing, which is different from us in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

I want to sell the pigs and buy big animals to go back. Some people in my village have already bought meat, and it looks good, cheaper than usual.

During the Chinese New Year this year, they don't have much money. Some people's pigs can't be sold, and it's spring, so they can't just feed grass. "

In the evening, Feng Gui came and brought two big carps.

Last time he sent eels, the village returned a pile of cheese cubes, and he would find them whenever there was a good thing.

"Come here! You still have something to wash your hands, it's just dinner, let's take a bite."

The head of the village enthusiastically took the fish and greeted the other party. He knew the situation in the other party's village, and he had mixed feelings, and he couldn't go anywhere with all his strength.

If Xiaqiu Village is like this, he will really cry to death in the sacrificial hall, failing to manage the village well.

"I'm not going to eat anymore, go buy it quickly, otherwise there will be no good meat."

Feng Gui waved his hand and refused, he just came to report a letter, empty handed is not good, so he carried two fish.

"That's not important, Feng Laosi, wash your hands with me, and you two need a pair of chopsticks? Brother, let's go!"

The chief insisted, calling the other party and the attendants to wash their hands.

The staple food for dinner is fried rice noodles. Rice noodles are different from vermicelli, like machine-made noodles in Zhu Wentian's time, but without gluten.

If it's fried noodles, rice noodles can't do it, and the taste is a lot worse.

Feng Gui and the people he brought were not picky, the main food was already good, but the key was that the side dishes were so good.

Stir-fried marinated chicken racks, a lot of meat is deliberately left on the chicken racks, the chicken buttocks are cut open, and the glands are taken out, the oil and water are large.

After Feng Gui and the two of them had eaten their fill, they rode back on the two donkeys they had brought with them. The head of the village asked Zhu Wentian, "Hanhan, do we want to buy pork?"

"Look, sell, soap, sugar, let's go. Hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian responded.

"Okay, let's find someone to bring things and set off. We have to light the lamp."

The chief of the village is used to it, and his comprehension ability is particularly strong.Of course, if he didn't understand, he would ask.

　New day, vote, thank you very much!
