Villager of Daming

Chapter 895: Personnel should not change their diet

Before dusk in the afternoon, the team entered the county town, not the Cao Lian Ridge they visited last time.

In fact, due to skiing and rain in Cao Lian Ridge during this season, plants have grown up, usually short shrubs and pine trees.

The name is Cao Lian Ridge, which proves that the grass is connected together in spring and summer, just like a grassland, but the stones are also in pieces.

Grass and pine trees can grow on the ground, but farming cannot. Grass and pine trees grow in the gaps between stones. Planting crops will kill a person, and they will be eaten by birds.

There are no wild animals on Caolian Ridge, but there are many venomous snakes and insects. Birds also fly there, especially in autumn, when I go to the south for the winter, I stop by and eat some grass seeds.

At the main intersection of Lantian County, all the officials stood ready, including the county magistrate Qi Wu, the county magistrate Deng Liyi, the chief bookkeeper Zhou Zhong, and the dianshi Guan Chao.

There were only four of them when we returned to Lantian County, and they are still the same now, without replacement.

The Ming Dynasty is short of officials. As long as the four people don't make random ideas and guard Lantian's foundation, they will be excellent officials.

Amidst the sound of "pop", the people, led by the officials, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Welcome to His Highness the King of Qin, His Highness the King of Jin..." and other words.

It was obvious that he had practiced in advance, and although it was still not very neat, the smile on his face was sincere, not just a response.

The eunuch was responsible for shouting and telling everyone to get up. Four officials stood up first, and then the others stood up. Some children were small and started patting their clothes when they stood up, and dust fell on them.

Even though the street has been swept and it is still a stone road, there is still dirt, and the child is distressed about the new clothes.

The team set up the equipment and started making popcorn bars and popcorn. The animals went to the river to unload the goods and loaded them directly onto the ship. The ship took away a batch first.

There is a special piece of land in the county where a two-story house has been built. It is in a good location and is always vacant. It is cleaned every ten days. It has not been rented out and is reserved for His Highness King Qin.

The craftsmen in the team went over first to see if there were any secret doors, cellars, secret rooms, or walls...

At the same time, there are waterproofing, fire protection, raid resistance, house quality, layout, materials...

The craftsmen went in quickly and came out quickly, no problem. The rest was the work of the guards. They found positions to stand guard in the dark and light.

Four officials were called into the hall of a two-story building, which was simply decorated. The wood was good wood and the stone was good, but there was no gold, silver, or jewelry in sight.

The maids have already put in bedding and other utensils, such as incense burners, screens, etc., and the craftsmen are busy working on the bathroom.

There are no conditions on the road, and the toilet has returned to its original appearance. You can design it here first, and then ask other craftsmen to work slowly.

If there is a sewage treatment plant, it should be used in this area first. If it is easy to use, build more, and then the entire Lantian County will be used. It is estimated that it will take at least 20 years.

The people need to have enough money, and Zhu Ping also has enough funds to build this place like Nanjing's Xiaqiu Village.

The key point is that this is not the place where he lives in a fiefdom. He originally lived in Chang'an, so if he wanted to build something, he had to go there first.

The four princes came next, and forty-four people from Xiaqiu Village were also sitting around. The maids and eunuchs were standing, and four officials were standing.

"Give me a seat!" Zhu Ping ordered and brought over four high stools. If there were no armrests and backrests, they would be called chairs.

"When we first arrived in Luonan, the local people treated us to mutton soup. What do we eat in Lantian County?"

Zhu Ping asked in a relaxed tone, as if chatting.

The four officials subconsciously looked at the little girl sitting there at the same time. They still had the impression from the last time they came here. Just these children were too scary.

The children tasted and looked at the more than 20 kinds of snacks they bought, and told them all the cooking methods and ingredients. By the way, they caught a person who cooked with spoiled pork belly. I remember that on the day we were eating donkey meat, a leopard was chased down the mountain. The donkey thought it was going to eat it, so it stepped on the leopard. The leopard took it off the cliff and fell to death together, and the flour it was holding was also scattered.

"Your Highness, is it okay to eat donkey meat?" Qi Wu, the magistrate, stood up and bent down slightly.

"Another donkey was taken off the cliff by a leopard?" Zhu Xiang's face changed slightly. It's okay to eat sheep. But it's a matter of money. Please eat donkey meat. How many donkeys are needed?

Using goats to plow the fields is a joke, goats can even pull carts!

This is actually not true. Donkeys are the main force in work. They can pull mills, trailers, carry things, and ride.

"Your Highness, this is dried donkey meat. Since your Highness and the Prince came last time to eat donkey meat, the four of us have asked the people to collect the donkey meat.

Where the donkeys in the surrounding areas were old or died unexpectedly, they were collected, their skins were boiled into donkey-hide gelatin, and their hooves and donkey-hide gelatin were sent to the Huimin Pharmacy and Herbal Medicine Library of Xi'an Prefecture.

The rest was left in the county, in fact, some of the donkey-hide gelatin and donkey hooves were sold to merchants passing by.

The Huimin Pharmacy in Ming Dynasty is not available everywhere. Other places need donkey-hide gelatin but it is not available. Even if they don’t know how to make it, merchants will bring it to sell it.

In addition, part of the dried donkey meat was also sold to merchants, so I had money to collect donkeys and continued to collect donkeys to save up.

Businessmen who pass by here know that Lantian County's donkey meat jerky is delicious and famous.

We can eat donkey meat casserole, the donkey meat in reserve is about the same, and make other dishes, such as tofu. "

Qi Wu understood why His Highness King Qin's expression changed, and quickly explained that it was not that he killed many donkeys at once, but that the entire county had been collecting donkeys for more than two years.

Zhu Fang and his three younger brothers looked a little brighter. They just had to kill the working donkeys together.

So Zhu Xi turned to look at the chief: "What do the chief think?"

Regarding food, he asked Xiaqiu Village. Xiaqiu Village had already made food arrangements based on people and seasons.

Including children who are picky eaters. Some picky eaters have difficulty chewing. They eat fish and meat, which causes many thorns in their mouths and make them wake up. They cannot chew leeks until they are thoroughly chewed. They choke on egg yolks...

When encountering such a situation, people in Xiaqiu Village will tell stories, saying that someone in the past...encountered some difficulties...had such a dish...and defeated the enemy after eating it...

If the story doesn't work, it's easy to handle. Everything you don't like to eat can be mixed with other things to make fillings, such as dumplings, wontons, steamed buns, pies...

The children will not eat the pickled sauerkraut while telling stories, the stuffed sauerkraut, the stir-fried sauerkraut, and the stewed sauerkraut.

Then take the sauerkraut heart and eat it raw. When frying it, fry it in meat oil. It feels smelly, the vegetable oil is not fragrant, and it tastes greasy and difficult to chew when stewed. Then steam it. There is always a suitable cooking method.

Therefore, the final say in Xiaqiu Village depends on what the village chief says.

The head of the village didn’t even need to ask Hanhan and answered directly: “Your Highness, now that donkey meat has been recognized by businessmen, Lantian County’s donkey meat must become even more famous.

Donkey-hide gelatin is famous because of Dong'e County in Shandong Province. Lantian County finally got recognition for its air-dried donkey meat. If we eat it, we might as well keep it and sell it.

Let's see if there are other things our soldiers can do, such as fish in the Ba River. It's not troublesome to make a full fish feast.

The local glutinous rice noodles made with buckwheat and sorghum rice are also very good. I don’t think they have any gluten, so I just add some elm powder.

Xi'an Prefecture, or the entire large area, has fairy powder, which is made of two-winged six-door wood. It is similar to acorn powder, as long as it has starch. "

The head of the village objected to eating donkey meat, leaving a good brand name for Lantian County, and the troops could deal with it at any time.
