Villager of Daming

Chapter 954: The sky can hold up the time

The common people had very few opportunities to eat wolf meat. It was not easy to get a wolf. There were not enough people in a village, so a sip of soup was considered good.

The technical difficulty of hunting wolves is high. Wolves are too smart and like to hunt in packs, unless they meet the old wolf king who has been driven away by the pack.

The old wolf king refers to a lone wolf. If you see it, the probability of killing it is very low. It has rich experience.

Today was special, there were many wolves and wild boars, but roe deer, fragrant deer and other species that could not cause direct harm to humans were not hunted specifically.

The royal guards first surrounded the mountain, and then walked up together, wearing field boots and canvas camouflage uniforms, looking for wild beasts that could hurt people, and taking care of poisonous snakes.

When a wild beast encounters a regular army, it is completely over. There is no chance to resist and it is impossible to escape.

The current month is when wild boars give birth, and the guards will kill them without fail. The young wild boars will be caught and raised for meat or bred with domestic pigs.

There are wild boars bred in Xiaqiu Village. They have patterns on their bodies and have many advantages. They are less likely to get sick. They can eat anything and have a larger proportion of lean meat than normal domestic pigs.

When there is no shortage of oil and water in the palace, I prefer to eat lean meat, or good pork belly, which is neither burnt nor greasy.

In the past, when people got wild game and asked whether it was delicious, the answer was unanimous, it was delicious!

After all, it is meat, no matter how unpalatable it is, it can be said to be delicious under the influence of psychology.

The other thing is emotional intelligence. If someone hunts a wild boar to give you meat, if you say it doesn’t taste good, they won’t give it to you next time.

But tonight the people in the village had a great time eating. This time it was really delicious, and everyone was smiling happily after eating.

The staple food is bread, which is relatively hard and whole-wheat. There are no eggs, cow's milk or goat's milk in it. It is just grey-brown toast with bran ground into fine powder without adding oil.

If there is no dog meat pot and braised wild boar, eating whole wheat bread will hurt your throat, of course the people can eat it, it is better than starving.

People in Xiaqiu Village can still eat now. They have not forgotten the past. When conditions are good, they can enjoy and endure hardship... no problem.

In fact, the people in the village ate bread for the first time. The bread was baked in an oven, the steamed buns were steamed, and generally the snacks were also steamed. Only the snacks in Xiaqiu Village were baked.

For the same noodles, the taste of steamed buns and toasted bread is very different. A little alum is put in the toasted bread, which makes it fluffier when eaten. The amount should be controlled.

If you have milk and eggs, plus yeast, there is no need to add alum. Too much alum is bad for your health because it contains aluminum.

Some children of the villagers, pregnant women, lactating women, and the elderly were given rice. The rice from Jinci Town is the most suitable to eat these vegetables with rice.

On a hot day, under bright lights, people eat in small bites, fearing that they will be full soon after eating a big bite and cannot taste the taste.

"Your Highness, the people are happy today because your Highnesses are here and the people feel safe. Unfortunately, it's just this time. I don't know when the next time will be."

Guo Jinglan, the prefect of Guo, drank a glass of wine, looked at the people around him, felt emotional, and talked to Zhu Fan and others.

Zhu Fan looked at Guo Jinglan and then glanced at other officials: "Therefore, officials must hold up the sky for the people, and the people count on you to lead them to live a good life.

Although I can’t control other places, I can still speak to you in Taiyuan Prefecture, right?

If your family is short of money or something, tell me, and I will find a way to solve it. Money matters are trivial.

If I, the King, catch anyone who has embezzled money and violated the law, I will allow your family members to go to Beijing to file a petition, and you will have to pay for the trip yourself! "

"Your Highness, I don't dare!" Guo Jinglan expressed his stance loudly.

"I don't dare!" The other officials are all veterans, which is called a tacit understanding.

Their emotional quotient and IQ are both online. They know what His Highness the King of Jin wants. They will kill people like themselves first, and then let those who can survive in their own family go to Nanjing to file a complaint.

Isn’t this nonsense! The rhythm of confiscating homes! The one who survives is the child. The child really ran to Nanjing, okay! Become a eunuch after castration!

For the first time, I saw that these princes really loved their people like their own children. How could there be such a situation in the history books? Just read the history books and watch the fun, whoever believes it is stupid. As a result, what we are facing now is real. Along the way, we spend money to buy things, fish and hunt to cook for the people.

The prince will not suffer hardships with the people. The people eat fish, the princes eat kebabs, the people eat whole wheat bread, and the prince is going to eat fragrant rice.

The people recognized it, and the prince did not pretend to be pretentious. He gave everything that should be given to the people and what could be given to the people.

"I said before that if things get better, I will give you red envelopes." Zhu Fan mentioned the matter of giving more money again.

……

The moon reached full sky a little later, and at the same time it became thinner. After the fifteenth day, it gradually became smaller.

After zero o'clock, it belongs to the awns in the solar terms, the awns in the "Xia Man Mang and Summer Heat Connect" in the twenty-four solar terms song, Beginning of Summer, Xiaoman, Mang Zhong, Summer Solstice, Minor Heat, and Great Heat.

It's quiet at night, the people are sleeping soundly, and the patrolling guards are moving around like mobile sentries.

The one who stands still and is in the most conspicuous position is the open whistle, and the one who doesn't know where to hide is the secret whistle.

The children who usually cried at night slept peacefully tonight, and they could feel the emotions of their loved ones.

When the sun rises, the rich aroma of meat spreads throughout the village.

Breakfast is noodles with no special braise, just put in the broth. The meat has been cooked yesterday and contains a lot of purine, but no one cares.

After peeling the noodles and boiling them, a lot of meat was put into the bowl, and some pickles were added, and everyone ate happily.

Some of the people in the team had finished their meal before dawn and were frying pancakes with the fat of hunting animals and smoking the remaining meat.

The palace maids and eunuchs told the people in the village to go to work after dinner and eat bacon pancakes for lunch.

The people went about their business happily, and the team set off for Ningwuguan.

All the bacon and pancakes were left behind, waiting for the people from work to come back at noon and make some soup to eat.

Twenty craftsmen stayed behind to take charge of the water diversion project here, including two people from each of the four princes' palaces to manage the accounts and supervise each other.

The villagers who did not go out to do heavy work watched the team leave and wanted to ask others to come back to see them off, but were stopped and had to wipe their tears constantly.

The horses and mules that had an extra day of rest were on their way crazily. They had to arrive at Ningwuguan tonight. They had all eaten goose and duck eggs yesterday.

……

"We think the pancakes are more delicious. This is not a bacon flatbread, but a roujiamo! It's too dry. Where's the soup? Hurry!"

Zhu Xi, who was on his way, had the most say in this matter, because he had the most meat buns in his fief, and he even took some recipes from Xiaqiu Village to make meat buns for the people in his fief.

Except for Chang'an and Xianning, which provide fresh braised meat, all other places provide bacon for easy preservation. What if the freshly cooked meat cannot be sold?

In the Tang Dynasty, Xi'an was divided into Chang'an County and Wannian County. Today, in the Ming Dynasty, Xi'an Prefecture is divided into Chang'an County and Xianning County.

Like the Tang Dynasty, the city was divided in half, half Chang'an and half Xianning.

Zhu Xi didn't want to eat such dry meat buns, and the soup was uncomfortable. The pancakes and fruits were not dry, and the pancakes and fruits that had just been spread out were soft.

"Your Highness, everyone is in a bad state. We need to save our energy. Things will be easier when we get to Ningwuguan."

The chief explained that it wasn’t that we couldn’t make pancakes, but that we had to conserve our energy during the forced march and boating against the current today.
