Chapter 896: Experience of key medicinal materials with smoked flavor

The kids were happiest in the evening, when they got lots of popcorn bars and popcorn.

Under the command of the people from Xiaqiu Village, the guards prepared a dinner of fish and soy products, with the main dish being grilled fish.

Grilled fish is not grilled fish. It is marinated first, then grilled, and finally stewed. Other vegetables are placed inside, usually under the fish and heated.

What kind of vegetables to put depends on what is available in the local area. If there are mushrooms, put them in; if there are more bean sprouts, put them in; if the coriander has grown, put them in; if there are no green onions, the season is not right, if there are spring onions, put them in; dried tofu, dried tofu, and tofu skin. Needless to say, put local specialties in there; there are a lot of amaranths on the roadside, put them in...

After these ingredients are put away, the rest is a matter of seasoning. There is no chili, so if you want it spicy, you have to use dogwood sauce instead.

Other fish are made into braised fish maw, fried fish steaks, fish balls, stewed fish heads, roasted fish tails, fried fish fillets...

There are many soy products in Lantian County, and everyone can make them, otherwise there would be no need for so many stone mills.

You can make a whole bean feast by yourself, and serve it with fish, just make a few dishes.

Now there is no famous Mahua in Lantian County, Houzhen Mahua, and the name Houzhen does not even exist.

The people in Xiaqiu Village were willing to help out and asked the local people to make noodles. If someone made noodles, they would take them over and give them something in exchange for them instead of money.

Then make it into fried twists. Part of it is to see how much alum is added. Part of it is to add milk and eggs and mix it again.

Normal twists are hard after being fried, but those with eggs, milk, and goat's milk are soft.

Tianjin Mahua and Houzhen Mahua are hard. They are soft just after being fried and harden quickly. At this time, sesame seeds are sprinkled on top, making them crispy when chewed. If you are not careful, you can break the roof of your mouth, just like fried dough sticks.

In fact, when frying the fried dough sticks, add less alum and leave the dough sticks for a while after frying. If you don't need to cover them, they will become soft and not crispy when you eat them.

When the lights were turned on, the people looked at it and felt strange. People from the four princes' palaces were responsible for explaining to the people, so that the people knew what it was.

Some of the air-dried donkey meat is made in small portions, and the people in Lantian County are given a few bites and told how to make it. There are several cooking methods.

In this way, they can provide services to people who come here and sell the dried donkey meat.

Donkeys should be bred here in the future. Historically, Lantian County’s donkey meat was not famous, only Hebei’s was. Shandong’s were unconvinced, and Shaanxi’s was the same.

Lantian County does not take this as its main focus. Just because the prince and the King of Qin came to eat donkey meat, the officials of Lantian County led the people to buy old and dead donkeys to make dried meat.

"How much donkey-hide gelatin and donkey hooves we sent to Huimin Pharmacy and Herbal Medicine Storehouse in Xi'an Prefecture. Those who want money should calculate the accounts.

This money is provided by me. As the King of Qin, we cannot ask for money from the court. I have to be responsible for treating the people in the fiefdom who are sick.

There are so many counties in our area, and part of the tribute paid by each county should be paid by the county government. If the amount exceeds that part, we will spend money. "

Zhu Fang invited four officials to have dinner together, and he mentioned the most vulgar thing first, money!

After Lantian County collected the donkeys, they gave all the medicinal parts to Huimin Pharmacy and the Crude Drug Library. A county should not bear this responsibility.

The imperial court would not care. The entire Xi'an government's taxes, land taxes, and labor were all given to Zhu Xi. He was responsible for training troops and using them for war. This was what he had considered when he was granted the title of king.

This is what was done in history, including Zhu Fan, the king of Jin in Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan in Beiping Province.

The money must come from the fiefdom, and the medicinal materials benefit the people of the entire fiefdom. Further north, except for the Xi'an Prefecture, the court cannot take care of it for the time being, so Zhu Ping still has to help subsidize it, especially the location where oil is mined.

He can't say that it's not my fiefdom. Draw a line and I'll control what's on this side of the line. I'll watch them die on the other side of the line and be indifferent.

Of course, when a gang comes back to a gang, accounts must be kept. He would go back and tell his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, that not keeping accounts meant that he wanted to expand his territory and make it his own.

He can't make weapons yet, so he needs weapons to be transferred from Nanjing. If he needs to change his weapons, he will send the original weapons back to Nanjing. If a new weapon is damaged during training, it will have to be sent back, and bullets cannot be made. Even if it is reloaded, the technology cannot be given to him.

Apparently Lantian County officials also understood, and four people responded one after another.

"Chief Li, this smoked donkey meat smells really good!"

The youngest King of Wu, Zhu Ju, picked up a piece of smoked donkey meat, smelled it first, then took a bite, tasted it and praised it.

“Your Highness, it is the same as smoked chicken, boiled first and then smoked, but when smoking chicken, some seasonings such as bay leaves, rock sugar, and ginger slices are used.

This donkey meat is smoked in a large stove with sawdust and white pine cones from the most famous local whitebark pine.

White pine cones are medicinal materials, and the pine seeds are very small, unlike the large pine seeds obtained from the Jurchens.

Speaking of this matter, Your Highness the King of Qin, the distance from Caolian Ridge is fifteen kilometers, but the area is large, and medicinal materials can be grown on it.

Try to plant one of the white thorns, anemarrhena, atractylodes, astragalus, skullcap, and fritillary. If successful, we will at least have the medicine of Fritillaria gallica and Scutellaria baicalensis.

Add platycodon, isatis root, in short, take some medicinal materials and try them. If they work, they can be planted on the mountain. If they don't work, there will be no loss. "

When the manager was talking about the bacon, he couldn't help but think of other situations. As he was talking, he glanced at Hanhan, who was always smiling in a silly manner.

Zhu Fang and others didn't know that the master was grilling food right in front of them. They looked at each other and nodded, which was considered communication.

"Try, let's try this ridge in Lantian County first, and then consider whether we can do the same in other places." Zhu Xi decided.

Turning his head, he asked four local officials: "Did you remember it?"

"..." The county magistrate Qi Wu, the county magistrate Deng Liyi, the chief bookkeeper Zhou Zhong, and the official historian Guan Chao were confused. What should they write down? Remember what?

What did you just say? His Highness King Wu said that smoked donkey meat is fragrant, right? Next, how to make smoked donkey meat, and then...

"Your Highness, it's a medicinal material... right?" Zhou Zhong, the chief clerk, swallowed his saliva and asked slightly nervously.

He felt that it was good before. He felt very comfortable listening to Zhu Lichang's words and gained knowledge. As soon as he turned around...

"Remove 'bar', that..." Zhu Xi showed a helpless look.

"Your Highness, I have remembered it. We have remembered it." A eunuch raised his hand. Normally, the civil servants were responsible for writing the daily records of King Qin, mainly His Majesty's.

Assigned to each king, sometimes people are not willing to let you follow them, so what do you write?

Therefore, whenever anyone, including the prince, came into contact with people in Xiaqiu Village, he would ask the eunuchs or palace maids to write them down. After they had finished writing, they would read it themselves and delete the inappropriate ones.

Because it may contain some technology, can this be written? If someone else gets it, wouldn't it mean that the secret is stolen?

It doesn't involve technology now, it's just a policy. If the eunuch dares to raise his hand, if he talks about technology... it's impossible, there are outsiders.

The smoked donkey meat is not counted as it will eventually be passed on to the local people, who smoke it with whitebark pine.

"After sorting it out, I will teach it to them tomorrow."

Zhu Fang ordered, picked up the wine glass, and motioned to the four officials to drink. If he didn't blame them, he didn't expect them to be outstanding. It would be good if they honestly kept their business.
