Zhou Zong returned to Nanjing and brought back smoked chicken and chilled smoked chicken.
Thousands of them were cut into shreds, and only the back part was tied up.
There is also egg stuffing, which is currently not available in Nanjing. Only Guangxi is most willing to use various kinds of stuffing.
"Finally we don't have to ask anyone to taste it. What's in those twenty big jars?"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang returned home, he relaxed.
When he saw the food, he waited for the other dishes to be ready before eating, and took a look at the jar.
"Dad, this is the sauce given by the village. We give them dried seafood and they return the gift.
The letter said that the sauce we brew is stinky, but if it is done well, the stinky sauce will not stink.
What the village makes is sour sauce. Likewise, the sour sauce is not sour. The result is actually the same taste.
There are maggots in our sauce jar, but not in theirs. "
Zhu Biao introduced that this is what was written in the letter.
The key point is that the twenty jars are still black bean sauce. The one with douban tastes better than the one without douban.
"It's good not to get maggots! Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang knew that maggots would inevitably develop when making sauce, but he didn't know why.
"Do you want a recipe for making sauce? A recipe for roast duck was brought, and I was given eight pills of Angong Niuhuang Pills for emergency use. The symptoms are listed below.
Zhou Zong said that the village head proposed that a good restaurant could be set up in Shibosi to make money from foreigners, who would like to eat roast duck. "
Zhu Biao said as he took out the medicine and put it on the table.
Zhu Yuanzhang took out the instruction manual and read it, nodding from time to time: "This medicine is powerful. It can save lives if it targets the symptoms. People who are pregnant with children cannot take it. Oh! There are also medicines and preparation methods."
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised when he saw the back. He thought the life-saving medicine was very precious and had no intention of giving it to him.
Obviously, people have never expected to use medicine in exchange for favors. With this medicine in hand, what minister can't weigh it? Aren’t you afraid that if you get the corresponding symptoms, there will be no medicine available?
"Dad, there are few bezoars and rhinoceros horns, so the village doesn't do much. Musk is found locally, and other pearls are not hard to find."
Zhu Biao had read the prescription. If you have money, you can get gold foil. Rhinoceros horns are imported. Bezoar depends on luck.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the instructions: "Ask foreigners to transport more rhino horns and look for bezoar elsewhere. Order Tai Hospital to trial-produce it first and send it to the village for verification. Send more copies of medicinal materials to the village."
He decided to do it, always prepared it, and gave it to useful ministers and the palace, and ate it as soon as he encountered symptoms.
"Give me something good again?" Queen Ma brought out two plates of food.
"Mom, life-saving medicine." Zhu Biao stood up to take the food.
“Since the village can make medicine, some of the medicinal materials from the royal reserve will be distributed and given away. It is inconvenient for them to buy medicinal materials from various places.
There are medicinal materials, they make good medicines that we don’t know about, and they will give them to us. "
Queen Ma picked up the manual and read it. Once some of the corresponding symptoms appeared, they would be gone.
If the symptoms are mild, you can still maintain your health by taking this pill.
If the medicine is real or fake, you will know if you ask the people at the hospital and then try it with someone else. I think they will not give you fake medicine that will harm people.
Zhu Yuanzhang went to wash his hands and rub soap: "If you want to give it away, what can he do for us if you don't have any medicinal materials? It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."
When he came back, he grabbed a smoked chicken leg and took a bite before swallowing: "It's delicious, even better than roast duck."
"I want the prescription. Bring the medicinal materials and ask for them." Queen Ma felt confident to ask for it.
…
The next morning, two hundred and fifty people drove to Xiaqiu Village.
They are long-term employees who return when the rice is harvested. After harvesting, they lend their livestock to plant rapeseed and ramie. After planting, they return to the village to work.
Building a house with a brick-concrete structure requires skill. With the current construction capacity, it is impossible to build the village's buildings in one month.
The two hundred people were energetic, took their things home and paid for them, and lived in the village to eat, thus saving the rations of a main force at home.
Time passed by and the rice was ripe. The rice in Xiaqiu Village ripened earlier than elsewhere, with more fertilizer and better soil.
A large group of people began to harvest rice, and people from other villages took the initiative to help.
Starting in the morning, there are many people, and by evening all the rice is harvested, picked out and put on the drying field.
I came back the next day to help plant wheat. Twenty thousand acres of wheat were selected and planted with salt water.
The animals in front pull the columbine, and the people behind support it, so that the wheat seeds fall into it.
Officials from the county came to watch and take notes, including the method of brine seed selection.
No one grew wheat here before, and because of the high temperatures, it could only be grown in winter.
Generally, the yield of wheat in rice fields is reduced, and the soil of good paddy fields is more acidic, which wheat is not suitable for.
If too much alkaline fertilizer is added, the rice yield will decrease again.
The paddy fields in Xiaqiu Village were adjusted by Zhu Wentian to be more sour, not slightly sour.
He picked some litmus lichen growing nearby and easily made blue test paper, which he used to check the acidity and alkalinity of the soil.
The rice in the village is growing well this year, but the rice production in other villages has been reduced due to drought.
The rice production in Xiaqiu Village increased by 15% compared to normal years, and the villagers and officials who came to help looked envious.
They all asked the village chief if he had any tips. The most people from Sanli Village came to help, and the village chief Wang Dong personally led the team.
When Zhu Wentian went to the county town before, he passed by the paddy fields in Sanli Village and asked someone to tell him that he was sick and to replenish the plant ash and phosphorus stone powder.
The people in Sanli Village knew that the rice was not good and had no choice but to blame luck and drought.
After receiving the news, they used the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so they turned phosphorus stone into powder and added plant ashes.
As a result, the rice is gradually getting better again. Can this thing be saved? I owe you a lot of favors!
Since there was no work to do in Xiaqiu Village, Wang Dong asked the laborers from the village to help him for free and brought his own dry food.
The village head didn't agree with anything he said. He didn't want wages, and other villages didn't want them either. He could borrow livestock when the time came.
If you don't eat, how can you treat guests like this?
As for favors, they are there if they are acknowledged, but what can anyone do if they are not acknowledged?
Of course, if you don’t accept favors, next time your crops get sick, don’t come looking for them.
“This increase in rice production is mainly due to the good soil. Some fields are good for growing rice, but some fields do not grow well.
What do you think? I have paper here, blue, and a piece of paper with blue and red drawings, the colors have different shades.
First look at the water. Drop the water on the blue paper so that the color is in the middle.
Then put the soil into the water and stir it. The thicker the better, then drop the water on the blue paper to compare the color.
The paddy field in my village is only as red as this color. If it is too red, use phosphorite powder to turn it blue and use chicken manure..."
The manager took out the test paper and showed it to everyone. Hanhan made it. The color comparison chart was very troublesome. Hanhan said it was not very accurate.
And this blue test paper is not as good as the red one. When he takes the time to make the red one, that one will require more things.
Listening to the introduction from the village chief, people from other villages were shocked. What is the color of the soil that people farm?
People know what kind of soil is good for planting, and they can change it after measuring it.
Planting your own land means fertilizing, fertilizing, fertilizing…
"Yichang, you have this paper and so many colors,... can you sell it?"
Feng Gui, the head of Xihe Village, is greedy. If he knows what kind of things are suitable for growing in which land, and what color the land is, his village can also increase production in the future.
"Ten pieces for a penny, buy a hundred pieces and get a watch for free."
The mayor offered a price, even if it was free of charge. He felt that it was not good to give it for free.
If the other party takes it for free and doesn’t cherish it when he goes back, it will be so tiring to draw a watch!
