After persuading the magistrate to leave, the district chief found Hanhan and wanted to ask if he wanted it.
Zhu Wentian and his friends made fried meatballs. Flour, shredded radish, tofu residue, salt, shredded green onion, shredded ginger, and eggs were put together and fried.
These are vegetarian meatballs. Don’t worry about whether the eggs you use can hatch chicks.
Vegetarian meatballs are more delicious than glutinous rice balls, especially for children. They can use their hands to grab one and eat it as a snack, but they cannot reach out to grab glutinous rice balls.
"Hanhan, County Magistrate Li..." The district chief introduced the situation and asked Hanhan how to deal with it.
"No, hospital, okay, village, money, give it." Zhu Wentian thought for a moment and then added: "Hehe!"
"I understand, we don't want the almshouse's money. If they do a good job, the village will give money to the almshouse to help more people, right? Hehehehe!" The head of the village understood.
Zhu Wentian nodded. Those who have requirements from the nursing home must first of all not have the ability to work, and secondly, have no relatives to support them.
You can indeed find them if you search hard in Xiaqiu Village. Some of them are old men and women who cannot do heavy work and can only help with small things.
Normally, there is no way to support two people, so the village as a whole helps to support them, and it makes sense to give them quotas.
He can't do it. He is the village guard and the village must support him.
He went to see Li Zhixian: "Zhixian, if there is such a thing, you come with me."
The two went to the village chief's house. Li Zhixian thought that the village chief wanted to ask for a few more places, but was afraid that it would be difficult to operate, so he discussed it in a place where no one was around.
As a result, he entered the side room next to him and the chief opened a box with silver ingots neatly stacked inside.
There is a word on the silver ingot, official silver, fifty taels and one ingot.
The chief took out one piece after another, twenty pieces in total. He pointed at the silver piled there.
"In Xiaqiu Village, I am willing to contribute a little bit to the people of Ningguo Mansion. Let's move out this thousand taels of silver."
The chief said, he found two wrapping cloths, one with ten ingots of silver in it, and Li Zhixian divided it into one. This thing is quite heavy!
"How does this work? I'm here to give your village food. The person you choose is six kilo per year. You..."
Li Zhixian didn't touch the package, which was contrary to his own intention.
"I appreciate Li Zhixian's kindness. The nursing home should give things to those who really need help.
Although six stones of rice is a lot, it weighs about 1,200 kilograms, but it still needs to be replaced to buy firewood, salt, oil, clothes, etc.
The village will provide one thousand taels of silver, and some relatives who do not want to support them can also have the almshouse help. "
The head of the village explained the situation. The number of places was limited, but some relatives just refused to raise them and forced them to raise them. It was normal for them to be hungry.
One thousand taels of silver, based on the price of rice, can range from 4,300 shi to 4,500 shi, and the price fluctuates.
It can help at least 700 more people. It is impossible for the more than 500,000 people in Ningguo Mansion to need help from the almshouse.
The head of the village picked up a bag and handed it to Li Zhixian: "If there is insufficient money, I can still leave from Xiaqiu Village. The county magistrate knows the situation in the village and doesn't want to buy more things to make money."
The head of the village figured it out. Is this money for Ningguo Mansion? This is for His Highness the Crown Prince to see.
What the village needs is not money, but a backer. If you have a big backer, you can make money just by selling anything. Without a backer, having too much money is dangerous.
Li Zhixian carried it out with a troubled look on his face, and the head of the store followed behind him and closed the door.
When they arrived at the eating place, Li Zhixian put the package on the table and untied it with a look of helplessness.
The inside manager does the same thing and lets everyone see the silver ingots inside.
"Yichang was afraid that the Ningguo Mansion would not have enough money and some people would not be able to get rice, so he gave an extra thousand taels of silver to the Ningguo Mansion Almshouse." Magistrate Li fell silent after speaking.
All the officials were silent together. They looked at the chief in surprise. They promised to give you benefits, but you turned out to give us money. Are you so cruel?
One thousand taels of silver is enough to feed 700 people. Your village of 552 people can live well for a year.
oh! No, according to the current food standards in your village, there is a huge difference. Who eats meat like you do?
"In this way, I would like to thank Xiaqiu Village for its kindness on behalf of the many people in Ningguo Mansion who have no complaints."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Magistrate Song stood up and saluted the sacrificial hall in Xiaqiu Village.
Other officials stood up one after another and saluted together.
The smile on Li Chang's face turned into a flower: "Everyone, let's eat the glutinous rice balls afterward, and let's drink first."
He invited everyone to sit down, and when the dishes were served, Zhu Wentian also arrived with a plate of vegetarian meatballs.
He nodded and made a circle, then turned around to wash his hands, then came back and sat down to eat by himself without waiting for others.
No one cared about whether he knew etiquette or not. He just smiled once and that was already good enough.
There were too many people to sit at one table, so they were divided into two tables. Mrs. Zhu was of high status and usually sat at the main table.
There are four officials in the county: the prefect, Tongzhi, two general magistrates, push officials, and two seventh-grade subordinate officials.
Other officials such as Tongpan, subordinate officials, experiencers, governors, and Zhaomo stayed at home.
Other villagers were not busy for the time being and wanted to drink some wine, including Zhu Wentian.
The wine brewed in the village is expensive.
Before, Zhu Yuanzhang banned alcohol and did not allow the cultivation of glutinous rice. However, after the founding of the country, he allowed the sale of alcohol and collected a business tax of thirty to one.
Whether or not you grow glutinous rice is of no use to Zhu Wentian. If you don’t use glutinous rice, can’t you make distilled rice? How is the song in the medicine made?
A variety of medicinal koji can be made, wouldn’t it be easier to make wine koji?
To make yellow wine for drinking in the village, glutinous rice is still used. Now there is distillation technology for white wine, and Zhu Wentian also makes it. For medicinal purposes, glutinous rice wine is included.
If you don’t drink distilled liquor when drinking, you will easily get drunk and get into trouble.
The alcohol he made was close to pure alcohol. It was purified with lime and then distilled. This was used to make alcohol for analysis.
Seventy-five percent medical alcohol is simple. Four identical bottles, three containing analytical alcohol and one containing distilled water, just mix them together.
Cotton needs to be degreased with caustic soda. There are other medical steps to neutralize the alkali and make the remaining material meet the standard.
If it is not for medical use, then put it in sulfuric acid and nitric acid, then process it, and use alcohol for analysis. Use absolute ethanol to store the digestive cotton.
As for what digestive cotton can do? There are so many uses. for example……
Drinking white wine in the village is necessary to nourish the body. Take one to two small cups of medicinal wine soaked in white wine a day.
On weekdays, the villagers are not greedy for alcohol, including Zhu Wentian. He drank for the second time, took a sip of wine, ate a few bites of vegetables, and had a satisfied smile on his face.
"It should be long. There will be more rain after spring. Will it delay the construction of houses in the village?"
Li Zhixian ate shredded pork and stir-fried bean curd sticks, and took care of the villagers' housing construction. The houses in the village were built big.
Using new technology, there are no double eaves, and houses with three rooms and five bays are not allowed. Three rooms is already very big, but five bays... The village is not involved.
The three rooms of a private house are enough for many people to live in.
How big are the three rooms? The first room is the lower room on the left, the lower hall in the middle, and the lower room on the right.
The second room is the left wing, the middle patio, and the right wing.
The third room is the left front room, the middle front hall, the right front room, the left back room, the middle back hall, and the right back room.
People can live in such a big house, but ordinary people can't build it even if they want to.
The key is not to carve beams into the building. The frame is the number of beams in the room. One main beam is one frame, and the main beam carries other beams.
Buildings are not included. The beams are not arched and do not exceed the limit.
There are not three two-story houses in the village. They are too big. Two rooms are enough, and there is a first floor of the same area above!
I will continue to cover it when I find time in the future.
