Villager of Daming

Chapter 92 Winter Honey Yougui Spring Barrel Making (Second update)
The mutton soup is still delicious, and the shopkeepers are so busy that they don't even touch the ground.

There were a lot of people at noon, and everyone saw the officials drinking mutton soup here, so they had the idea of ​​having a taste.

There are 60 salt sellers, armed with knives, escorting the boat. This is the first operation, and everything is at stake.

So the head of the village bought three sheep, killed them and ate them, and the salt seller felt a little relieved that the village was indeed rich.

Someone went to inquire and learned that the village bought 53 pigs today and brought [-] carts pulled by two animals.

There are also quite a few people from the village, each with the same patch on their clothes...?
People in Xiaqiu Village put an extra patch on their clothes, made of bamboo rat skin, at the place that is easy to wear and tear.

The leather has good ductility, and the movement is not tight after patching. There are so many bamboo rats in the village, and the skin is donated.

As for how to better cook the leather, that is, tanning, there is a fool!

In addition to patches, villagers also wear uniform sheepskin boots, which are only worn in winter and early spring.

Why not wear cowhide?There is too little cowhide.What about pigskin?Isn't the pork skin used to make braised pork and pork skin frozen?

The last time I bought mules, horses, and donkeys from dead animals, I bought tools for making mules, used ashes for external application of medicine for horses, and boiled donkey-hide gelatin for donkeys.

After entertaining the officials, the three villagers boarded the boat and went upstream to the village, while the others drove away.

The chief left the money to buy bitter salt, and there was nothing left, so he didn't think there was any surplus, and he could spend it all.

I bought honey, honey in winter is more expensive than in spring and summer, but ordinary honey cannot reach the price of rock sugar.

The different honeys I bought today range from 75 Wen to [-] Wen a catty, and some are more expensive. I take them back to those who need them to recuperate their bodies and use them as medicine.

Leaving aside other medicines, it is impossible to make big honeyed pills and water honeyed pills without honey.

In addition to honey, buy some essential oils, which are also medicines, and they are good for making medicinal incense.

Sitting in the car and returning to the village, Zhu Wentian stared at the jar of honey in a daze. The village chief saw, "Hanhan, want to eat? How many spoonfuls can I get you?"

"No, spring, bees, flowers, honey, raise, um! Hehehe!" Zhu Wentian responded, he wanted to raise bees.

When the rapeseed bloomed last year, there were many wild bees flying around. I was too busy at that time to take care of it.

This year, everyone has free time to make beehives and beehives, and attract wild bees from other places to settle in.

Usually in spring, the old bees will give up the original place to their children, and take the bee colony away to find a new place.

Beekeepers don't want the old ones to leave, so they build new hives and prepare them, then splash water to wet the wings and eliminate the smell, so they can stay.

If you want to build a glass greenhouse this winter, you can either bring the villagers to soak the flowers yourself, or throw a beehive inside.

Now they are all Chinese honeybees, which are less toxic and will not sting people to death unless they are under special circumstances.

Honey is available in spring, summer, autumn and winter. For example, Dongchun honey from Nanjing is more expensive than other honeys.

The local area belongs to Zhangzhou Prefecture, and today I bought winter honey produced there at 160 Wen a catty.

At worst, I set up a greenhouse to grow medicinal flowers. Anyway, I have to raise bees in spring, when the rapeseed flowers bloom.

"Ah! I haven't raised it before, does it hurt to sting people?" The chief was confused, it's not like he hasn't been stung by a wild bee before, does it hurt...

"Don't, village, vegetable, flower, teach." Zhu Wentian didn't answer this kind of question, and proposed a new idea.

"Okay, there are also rapeseeds, and when the time comes, we will teach them how to raise bees."

The chief responded, and raised his hand to touch the left side of his forehead. He had a small mark there, which was stung by a bee.

When you get stung, you don't know how to deal with it, but use incense to scald it, and it leaves a mark as a result.

Later, when he was stung again, he gained experience. After that time, he inquired with someone, and it was enough to apply miso.

"Hanhan, I have been stung in this place. I used incense to scald it at that time, but I found out that it can be done with miso."

The chief wanted to say it, and asked Hanhan to look at his forehead.

Zhu Wentian looked at it, nodded his head, and after a little hesitation: "Pick out the tail needle and poison sac, use weak alkaline medicine, add tribulus water to wash, use the bitter salt bought today to smear around the swollen bag, it's almost done.

If some people still can't do it, I will prescribe medicine for external application and internal administration. People in our village don't care about the cost of medicine.

This scalding actually works, it just hurts the enemy and yourself.Sometimes a bee sting is the same as a mosquito sting.

Doenjang can actually alleviate bee stings and mosquito bites under certain circumstances, because it is fermented from beans and contains polyphenols. Under normal conditions, polyphenols are anti-allergic. "

The head of the village blinked blankly, and reached out to touch Hanhan's head: "You were not there at that time! Later... the blind man who told the fortune could not be found.

If I have a chance to meet him again, I will give him 1000 taels of silver, not because you are only worth 1000 taels, but because I am worried that giving too much will cause him trouble. "

"No, raising, hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian shook his head, and if he found it, he raised it, and giving money is useless.

If you have a lot of money, you will be missed by people outside, and you can live comfortably in the village. How can you compare Xiaqiu Village with blind people in other places?
……

Before evening, 53 vehicles returned to the village, and the children waiting at the entrance of the village cheered and ran back to tell everyone.

The boat has not yet arrived due to the countercurrent, but fortunately the wind is good today, blowing from north to south, and when the south wind blows, it will start to rain!

The pigs were lifted down and sent to a makeshift pigsty. Cooked food was placed in the pig trough, and the ropes tied to the hooves were untied. The pigs lost their temper instantly and ran to the trough to eat, starving.

Seeing the big fat pigs, the villagers laughed, and the boatman who stayed by the river set off to meet the three salt boats.

They don't know that there is a job as a pilot, but they know that they must help guide the opponent's ship to dock better.

I ate bamboo rat for dinner today. Affected by the living environment and habits, the meat of bamboo rat tastes good and does not smell fishy.

After the killing, there is no need to soak the bamboo rat meat in cold water, just wash it, then slice it, shred it and fry it, cut it into pieces and stew it.

After another half an hour, four ships arrived, and the pilot ship commanded three ships to dock at the pier.

The villagers came forward, prepared the carts, backed them into the pier, and waited for unloading.

There are wooden tracks on which the unloading truck is pushed. Bags of salt are put on the truck first and then pushed to the side of the truck.

The sixty people who came looked dumbfounded. They saw the elderly and women who were watching, and the children, big and small, cheering beside them.

People's clothes are all made of silk, and only the villagers who carry them temporarily put on hemp clothes.

The sky is not completely dark yet, all the lanterns are lit, and the lanterns will be lit on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?No money for oil?
The three people who followed the boat went down first and changed their clothes. The clothes they are wearing now are for work.

After helping to unload the goods together, the chief of the village first gave the money, and then called sixty people to wash their hands and face, and prepare to eat.

"Dinner and drink, stay here tonight, don't worry, no one will steal your money, more than 50 pennies are not worth our hands, come, rub your hands with soap."

After paying the money, the head of the village said hello, Han Han said, you can't tell people to leave immediately, they will rush back desperately, they will easily collapse suddenly and never get up again.
