Villager of Daming

Chapter 931 Tomorrow’s Food Golden Clothes

The people finished eating first, took mosquito coils with them, went home to rest, and continued to work tomorrow.

Those who are not harvesting wheat have to do other work. This will save a lot of time, continue to work, and earn more income.

Even if you go into the mountains to collect some firewood and collect medicinal materials, you can loosen the soil when the vegetable fields need to be loosened, and fertilize when needed.

Fertilizing the vegetable field is simple. Pick a manure bucket, fill it with dilute manure soup, and use a wooden spoon to scoop it and pour it on the soil of the vegetable roots.

The process is uncomfortable, but it has to be done, and the smell will last for several days until it rains and the smell will completely dissipate.

Vegetables that grow well should be washed before eating, especially if they are eaten raw with dipping sauce, such as lettuce.

Eggplants are no different from cucumbers and cowpeas. They cannot touch the soil. Those that touch the soil need to be picked in advance or wait for the autumn crop. Generally, the ones at the bottom grow the largest. A rope is tied to the vine to indicate that the seeds are reserved. Don't touch them.

When the others are all gone, if the remaining seeds turn yellow and even have a little rotten marks underneath, take them out, wash them with water, dry them, and wait to plant them again next year.

Vegetables are for eating, and medicinal materials can be sold for money. If you save an extra day, you will naturally have an extra day of collecting herbs.

If you are lucky, you might come across a large group of medicinal materials one day, which are quite precious and can be sold for three hundred coins.

The officials were not in a hurry. They were drinking and the dumplings were not put in the pot. They would steam part of the dumplings and boil part of them later.

"What are you going to eat tomorrow?" Zhu Di took a sip of wine and began to think about the next meal.

"Your Highness, eat noodles, machine-made noodles. It's hot, so don't eat hot noodles. Eat noodles with soybean paste, made with eggs. Duck eggs and goose eggs are too fishy, ​​so they are only suitable for pickled salted eggs and preserved eggs."

The manager has already made arrangements. The noodles will be made in the early morning. The sauce will be stir-fried first, and the noodles will be delicious after they are cooled. You can add a little well water, otherwise they will be too dry, just like the sesame paste noodles made by Hanhan. When I eat, I always feel like something is wrong.

"There are no cucumbers now. We will have to wait another twenty days to get them. There are not many carrots. Do we still have more pickles?"

Zhu Fan frowned lightly, thinking that the people could not eat food, and felt sad. He knew that the food he had to eat was different. If he was short of food, would he still be short of food?

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I asked people to buy the dried vegetables from people's homes last year, and made pickles with the skins of previously killed pigs.

It's just that all the people have agreed that each family will only charge one penny, and then give them a lot of dried vegetables, saying that the green vegetables are coming one after another, and they don't want the leftover dried vegetables.

If we didn't have to give money, they wouldn't take a penny, so the eggs used for frying sauce were also included in the penny, and each family was given ten eggs. "

"So there is no need to worry. Saying that the pickles are made by Xing will mislead people. When Jubiqi sells them, he says they are made by Xing, and people will try them themselves.

As a result, the texture and taste after frying were wrong. They didn't know that the dish was stir-fried first, then added with a little water and then fried.

Cowpeas, which I usually don't like to eat, are dried, soaked and then boiled. They don't have the beany smell and are not so crispy anymore, like something else.

Everyone, you are in luck. Tomorrow there will be some pickles to eat. They are not very salty and one person can eat a basin.

The dried cowpeas, dried cucumber strips, dried eggplant strips, and dried radish strips are mixed together, stir-fried with pork skin, add some star anise and bay leaves, and add some soybean bean paste. It will become fragrant after it is cooked!

Don't open the pot before it's done. Absolutely not. The gas will disappear as soon as you turn it on. It needs to be simmered, which requires experience. It should be finished when the pot is dry. "

Zhu Fan was indeed relieved, the food was good, and the people knew how to be grateful and sent eggs and vegetables.

The officials listened carefully, continued to learn, and went back to prepare to try to make it themselves. The princes like to eat it, and they will know if it is good if they try it tomorrow.

……

"Hanhan, I see you staring at the frogs in the ditch. Do you want to eat them? Why don't you catch some and stew them? It's easier to catch them with a flashlight at night." The chief came to look for Hanhan again. In the afternoon, he saw Hanhan Always in a daze, really in a daze, staring at frogs.

Zhu Wentian was frying steamed dumplings, and after a while he drank and ate them. There was no filling left for him to fry the cakes alone, and no noodles left for him to bake the cakes.

Making dumplings involves preparing a lot of dough, and the last remaining bits are mixed with white sugar and flour and wrapped in dumpling wrappers. When cooked, they become sugar dumplings. Children love to eat them because their bodies need sugar.

Zhu Wentian pushed the plate of fennel beans forward: "I saw toads and planned to teach people how to breed them. I have been using toads to make medicines, such as Jiuxin Pills, Sore Throat Anti-inflammatory Pills, Liushen Pills, etc.

There are few toads here, whether they are frogs or toads, but there are more in other places.

It depends entirely on wild catching, which consumes a lot of manpower, and the demand is high. If you catch too much, it will be gone.

The most difficult thing to get is the toad coat, which can also be said to be the toad slough. Very few can be found in the wild, and most of them are eaten by themselves.

We raise them, and use part of them to extract the toad venom, some to extract the toad clothing, and the unqualified ones to extract the skin, head, gallbladder, and liver..."

Zhu Wentian wanted to catch the big ones, those that had grown for more than ten years, and raise them to get toad venom and toad clothes, and lay eggs on the way. If the other ones were too weak, he would simply kill them to get other things.

The director understood and thought about it: "Hanhan, there is no need to take it separately. Take the toad cake first and then the toad coat, or vice versa, that is faster."

Zhu Wentian shook his head: "Normally, a toad sheds its skin when it is hungry, and toad venom is secreted when the toad grows best. After removing the toad's coat, there will be no toad venom.

To remove the toad first, you need to scrape the toad, which will scratch the skin. If it is scratched, it cannot be shed off. The toad has to bite open that part with its mouth.

You can only choose one of the two, be careful, the toad will still be alive, especially after scraping the toad, scrape a little at a time, don't scrape too hard, and then feed.

Toad Yi made a glass vessel, washed the toad first, and then starved it to excrete the contents of its body.

Put it in the water and let it float. It won't be able to eat its own toad clothes when it floats, so it takes off the outer layer and carefully picks it up manually.

Usually when it is about to shed its skin, you use scissors to cut off the toad clothes on its back, and finally put them together. This is called the method of removing the toad clothes from water.

In the wild, relatively complete toad coats are often found after heavy rain, precisely because of the intervention of water.

Toad clothes are very rare and are mostly found in pieces in the wild, so a slightly complete one is worth as much as gold.

This should be done slowly, preferably at a lower temperature, as the toad will molt slowly, so wait patiently, so that the survival rate after molting will be high. "

"Alas! You can raise whatever you want. It turns out that it's so difficult to get a toad, but it's easier to get a cicada."

The village chief knew that there was something to do again, and the villagers needed to allocate manpower to manage toad breeding.

There are too many good things, and I feel that there are not enough villagers. I must at least be responsible for the management and not leave them all to others.

The village elders who should be enjoying their old age have all come in handy. Children younger than Ling'er are studying hard and are ready to take up heavy responsibilities at any time.

"I'll draw it... just draw it! Then look for toads here, big ones. I'll teach them how to do it and see how fast they learn. It's hard for people in the village to understand the telegram when it's sent back."

Zhu Wentian wanted to send someone back after the painting was completed. After considering the difficulty, he planned to try it first. Shanxi was not suitable for frog and toad farming and the environment was limited.

Unlike Shaanxi, where there is plenty of water and rice is grown, there is too little rice in Shanxi.
