Villager of Daming

Chapter 938: Simple and easy to gain recognition

A large group of people were weaving shrimp pots there. Zhu Ping asked for money to hire someone, but the worker shook his head and was willing to help.

The fishermen promised that when they catch the river shrimp, they will give it to everyone to eat first, and they will not help in vain.

Others began to process the fish and found people who were willing to learn to watch. There were books on how to smoke fish in the Song Dynasty.

It's just that the people don't know that when eating fish, they can boil it or stew it.

The guards operate on site and clean the fish. The fish scales and other processed fish are not thrown into the river. They are used to feed the chickens and ducks and are ground into powder. The geese also eat it. The geese need to supplement bone meal and protein.

The fish pieces were salted, and the common people contributed dried fruit wood, which was chopped into sawdust by the equipment, leaving the core in the middle.

One of them is difficult to plan, and the other is to prepare some roast ducks for His Highness and the people in Xiaqiu Village to eat tomorrow, so they need to be roasted with fruit wood.

The guards taught them how to smoke raw food without deep-frying. Cooking and smoking wastes oil and the people are reluctant to part with it.

Raw smoking requires boiling sawdust in water and steaming the marinated fish pieces on top. The smell of fruit wood enters the fish with the steam.

When the fish is cooked and the pot is dry, just put some sugar, increase the fire below, the sawdust will smoke, and it will be done after a short while.

If there is sesame oil, it would be better to apply a layer on the fish pieces. This is how authentic Goubangzi smoked chicken is done.

The common people are not allowed to learn it, and sesame oil is consumed. Sugar is all maltose, which can be obtained locally. Cane sugar needs to be grown until sweet sorghum is grown.

Make the pancake on the other side and roll out a few more layers so that the pancake will have layers and can be peeled off. Do not add oil and bake it directly.

Everything is prepared so that people can actually operate it. How to save money and how to find materials around them should be done according to this idea.

Made with a lot of auxiliary ingredients, it is not suitable for ordinary people in Taiyuan Prefecture. The ingredients used in Xiaqiu Village, Nanjing are piled up, and it is guaranteed to be more fragrant than the current ones.

There is no tea now, no brown sugar or rock sugar, and oil is saved. The fish itself has a little oil, which is good.

When the sun is about to reach its peak, everyone comes back to eat, except for those who go to harvest wheat for a different shift.

The children caught grasshoppers again, and others gathered ears of wheat, dug wild vegetables, and made wild vegetable soup. The green onions that had spent the winter last year had grown up and were suitable for eating.

Part of it is reserved for seeding in the fall. This is never what is eaten in winter. It is the unseeded green onions that are planted in spring, transplanted in summer, and harvested in winter to be used as vegetables in winter.

There is still no cucumber, so you can’t eat it with the smoked fish flatbread. There is sauce, soybean sauce, no sweet noodle sauce. You can bring the bean paste with you at all times, but bring less sweet noodle sauce, so save it for the roast duck.

Sweet noodle paste is made from flour, and doenjang is made from soybeans. The fermentation time of sweet noodle paste is short, and the doenjang paste is made from the beans, which can only be eaten after winter to summer.

There is coriander, whoever wants to eat it can put it in. The wild vegetable soup is always made from Tingli, which is a bit old, so I make do with it.

For other wild vegetables, choose tender ones and blanch them in boiling water. When used as stir-fry, there are many amaranths beside the ditch. Use your hands to pinch them from the bottom and pull them up. Wherever they are cut, pick the top ones. If the bottom ones are old, don't use them.

In addition to plantain, sourdough, dandelion leaves, water celery, gray cabbage, and perilla leaves, there are many kinds of vegetables.

Obviously children know what they should eat, this is what they have been learning from adults, they must eat, otherwise there will be no food.

In addition to hunting, the guards dug up a lot of small-root garlic with their military shovels, and there were also single-plant garlic. They looked the same, but in fact they were different. The one was called big-headed mountain garlic, which was spicier than small-rooted garlic and had a bigger head.

The women in the village brought a large amount of bracken from the mountains. In April of the lunar calendar, it is the time when the bracken comes out, with red and green hairs, and thorny buds.

The current season is when there are a lot of wild vegetables. Normally, people don’t have time to pick them and have to be busy in the fields. Now I finally had my hands free to pick the food they loved.

There should have been mushrooms, but it didn't rain and there were few mosquitoes. We waited for the rain to fall, and the fungi quickly appeared the next day, and the mosquitoes laid eggs desperately.

The dragonflies also have a hard time waiting for the mosquitoes to lay their eggs. The dragonflies lay eggs together, starting from the larvae in the water, and the dragonflies eat the mosquitoes.

Spiders don't even make webs anymore. They live for one season. Once they have spiderlings in their belly, they begin to prepare for death. The spiders burst out of their belly and eat their mother, who had previously eaten their father.

There were a lot of wild vegetables, and some of them were stir-fried, some were blanched for dipping in sauce or served cold, some were dried in the shade, and some were pickled and left for the common people.

Small roots of garlic can be soaked if dried. Eat the pickles for the first three days. If it exceeds three days, throw them in a jar and continue to pickle them. Eat them after half a month.

The guards' operation is more hygienic. The jar needs to be scalded with hot water first to avoid rotting during the pickling process.

The common people followed and learned, and the soldiers who came over also gave pointers. Their skills were inferior to the guards of the four princes, and the princes followed Xiaqiu Village.

With so many wild vegetables, eating smoked fish cakes is not greasy at all. In fact, eating fish is not greasy without wild vegetables. The people are short of oil and water.

"Seeing how everyone is eating makes us happy."

The fifth child, Zhu Ru, sighed again. He was still a child!

The common people took the fish meat off the spine, then smashed it with chopsticks, then stuffed it into the cakes, bit it together with the green onions and sauce, and sipped the soup, all of them showing expressions of happiness and satisfaction.

"Your Highness is right. The people will be happy if they can eat meat."

More than ten meters apart, he echoed loudly because he was also happy.

"No!" Zhu Xi shook his head: "Although I am young, I have learned a lot. The people have a backbone, and my third brother is the root cause."

"Yes, yes, His Highness King Wu really has insight!" Magistrate Guo quickly cooperated.

"We learned from it. Our younger brothers and sisters were given special small houses in the village. Small houses were placed in the big houses, and they were willing to hide in them.

It's a little darker inside and a little brighter outside, and there are adults outside, so they feel good sleeping inside.

The chief said that this is human instinct, and the smaller the child, the more so. To avoid danger, keep oneself in corners and dark places.

The sergeants also said that if they were in the woods with the enemy at the same time, no one would light a fire first for fear of being exposed.

At the same time, if both the enemy and the enemy have a wooden house, that wooden house must be empty at night. They will come out and hide in the darkness outside, waiting for others to attack the wooden house. "

Zhu Rui recalled while talking, he found that he was like this when he was younger, but unfortunately there was no special small house for his younger brothers and sisters at that time.

When a child's feelings are amplified, they are actually the feelings of an adult. When facing life, they need someone to rely on, and being able to be someone who can be relied on is very powerful.

In the past, my father was the support of others and could always come up with good strategies and tactics to defeat the enemy.

Now I found out that in Xiaqiu Village, even my father had to go over and ask about the situation while the leader and this team were staying in the village.

At present, the same is true for several of my brothers, and Xiaqiu Village has taken on important responsibilities.

　Gone today!
