Villager of Daming

Chapter 882: Local Wealth Praises Himself

The next morning, the common people helped cook. After eating, they went home to get things for the team, and then stayed one night. The team left tomorrow and they went back to their homes.

This time I came over to take a look and have a lively time, which I will have something to talk about in my life.

The main grain produced in Huaiyuan is wheat. Even though there are many rivers, they are unwilling to grow rice. Later, local rice cultivation was mainly glutinous rice and upland rice. Together with corn, soybeans, millet, etc., it accounted for one-half of the wheat output.

Now Huaiyuan can also grow soybeans, millet, and sorghum, but does not want to grow rice, so everyone eats noodles.

The poultry and eggs delivered yesterday came in handy. The meat was minced and stir-fried, the eggs were made into tea eggs, and the flour was mixed with a machine and pressed into noodles.

Tofu and dried tofu made from local soybeans have become side dishes, and some of them are put into the stew.

There are no cucumbers. There are only greenhouse cucumbers in this season, unless you go to Qiongzhou Prefecture.

But it doesn’t matter. The local people have dried vegetables. They soaked them last night and someone got up to pickle them in the middle of the night. Now they are ready to eat. If not, there are shrimp oil side dishes that they brought.

In addition to the poultry noodles, there are also pigs brought by the people yesterday. Some of them were killed to make sausages. They can't eat them today. Some of them are braised and can be eaten. The meat is made into stuffing and wrapped in wontons.

The people who came from each village were dumbfounded. Everyone in the team seemed to know how to cook. They actually saw King Qin, King Jin, King Yan, and King Wu making wontons together with skillful movements.

Zhu Wentian led the strong men, holding military shovels, to stir-fry the dumplings in the big pot.

A water pump is put into the well next to it to draw water. The cooked noodles need to be soaked in cold water to make them taste better and chewier when eaten.

The well was dug before. In the fourth year of Hongwu, Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi and Changzhou, Linhao, Beiping, Hejian and Yongping were in drought.

Huaiyuan now belongs to Linhao, that is, Fengyang Mansion, and they were forced by the government to dig wells.

The well is always in use and is cleaner than the river water. The river water is needed for washing clothes. There are also fish, snails, leeches, flies, mosquitoes, dragonfly larvae, and all kinds of things growing in the mud...

This year, there is a place in the province of Beiping. There is a summer drought. The local area has already made preparations. Waiting for the drought, hurry up and prepare to harvest wheat! If there is a drought, there will be no rain, and the harvest will be good. Then water will be pumped to irrigate the land for planting.

A hundred large iron pots were used to cook noodles at the same time, for twenty people at a time. They were scooped out and poured over the noodles, and then poured through cold water twice. In less than twenty minutes, everyone had braised noodles and wontons.

As an older man, the wontons he ate were made and cooked by the four princes. He took small bites of them one by one, and they felt more delicious than the wontons he had ever eaten in his life.

The children were given extra fried eggs with jam, sour and sweet, so the children also ate in small bites and tried to eat as much jam as possible.

The palace maids quickly told them to eat less sauce, telling them that they would have snacks later, including fried yam sticks and dipped in jam.

Only then did the children happily eat the fried eggs and put the noodles into their mouths. The noodles are not salty and can be eaten casually as a side dish.

After breakfast was finished, the young people from the local people went back to pick up the things. This time they couldn't give them away for free.

There was no need to rush so hard before, and there was no need to rest like this. The sergeants massaged each other, and everyone screamed.

The horses and mules were also the same. They were so tired that they finally recovered after having a good meal this morning. They were not running on empty, they were carrying loads.

Before noon, the people came back with their animals and brought the things they wanted to sell here. The team did not allow the people to bargain and directly gave high prices.

The imperial doctors also visited the people in each village and wrote down prescriptions for those whose illnesses had not yet been discovered.

Some babies have stomach discomfort, cannot speak, and can only cry. As soon as the imperial doctor observes and takes pulses, he inserts a needle into the navel and performs cupping, and a lot of black blood comes out. Others were given massages and massages. Those who were older and had rheumatism in their leg joints were given rabbit skin wraps and plasters. Anyway, the people who came here could enjoy imperial medical services as long as they were not in good health.

The missing teeth were all chewed up, and the team didn't have time to stop. They sent the finished teeth back to Nanjing, where they burned the dentures and brought them back to be installed.

By the way, we need to deal with the teeth of several children who need to have their teeth replaced. There is no way to preserve deciduous teeth, including umbilical cord blood.

These two kinds of preserved stem cells can be used when you get sick in the future, such as those of the nervous system and the immune system, but Xiaqiu Village cannot do this.

The villagers were very embarrassed when they got the treasure banknotes. They wanted to give it away. Without the team that came over at that time, there would be no good life now.

There are many children in the village, just because they have money and can get wives. According to the time, a bunch of babies will appear.

It's easy to marry a girl out. It depends on how the other person's young man is, whether he's poor or not. As long as he doesn't do bad things, especially the other person's parents, then he can give him more dowry. If he doesn't have any, he can still come back and get it.

So there were more grandsons and granddaughters, and the daughter-in-law was treated well there. The key point was that the husband's family was willing to let the daughter-in-law come back, because every time she came back, she brought something back.

"Chief Li, when I came here last time, I didn't feel anything bad. Now that I'm here again, I feel so happy!"

The second king of Qin, Zhu Xi, talked about the situation when he first came here. Comparing it again, he found that the local people were very hard-working and the key was to be obedient and do whatever they were told, so they became rich.

Being able to change the destiny of others, especially developing for the better, is the most fulfilling. Just like Li Chang, the reason why he is willing to learn is not because he has helped many people, and spiritual satisfaction makes him happy.

"Your Highness cares about the people, and should be happy for the people. This is the happiness of the people."

The chief can speak now. He has practiced it over the past few years.

"Chief, please don't praise me. We are good at it. Do they eat soy sauce?" Zhu Xi waved his hand and said, "Don't praise me, even though it feels good."

"It doesn't matter whether you eat it or not! Prepare to serve it first." How does the director know whether others are dipping their dumplings in soy sauce or not?

I ate dumplings for lunch today. There was no dough, so it was either pancakes, hot noodle pancakes, wontons, or noodle soup?

These are obviously not as delicious as dumplings. As for pancakes, they can be made into lotus leaf pancakes, which are spring pancakes. They can also be eaten rolled up with vegetables, which is more suitable for the table.

"Soy sauce, dip, garlic, eat, fragrant, vinegar, add, um! Hehehehehe..."

Zhu Wentian took another chance and showed off that he couldn't eat dumplings without dipping them in soy sauce. He would be arrested and imprisoned for two years.

"Yes, we'll prepare it. You can eat it if you want, no forcing. There's also vinegar, hot sauce, sesame oil, and pepper."

Zhu Feng expressed that he understood. Brother Hanhan was concise in his words. He was such a nice person!

The dumplings come out, some steamed and some boiled, with different textures. The steamed ones are usually meat-based, while the boiled ones are usually meat-based.

There are no cucumbers, no cowpeas, no eggplants, but there are leeks. The winter leeks are growing pretty well! Just in time to make dumplings.

Chives, eggs and shrimps. The shrimps were dried sea shrimps before soaked in warm water.

"Is there some place where you can't get dumplings?" Zhu Di suddenly said at this time.

"Your Highness, some places don't eat it. There is less wheat in the south, and glutinous rice and indica rice are usually used. For example, in Guangzhou Prefecture, it's not that it doesn't taste good, but they are used to it. If you make it for them once, they will eat it."

According to what Hanhan said, Guangzhou is obviously not suitable for growing wheat, so there is less pasta.
