The mutton soup is still delicious, and the shop owner is so busy that his feet almost don’t touch the floor.
There were many people at noon. Everyone saw the officials drinking mutton soup here and had the idea of trying it.
A group of sixty people selling salt carried knives on their bodies and escorted the boat. This was their first operation, and they were risking everything.
So the village chief bought three sheep and killed them to eat. The salt seller felt relieved because the village was indeed rich.
Someone went to inquire and found out that the village was buying 300 pigs today and brought 53 carts pulled by two animals.
There are also a lot of people coming from the village, and all of them have clothes...with the same patches?
People in Xiaqiu Village wear an extra patch on their clothes, made of bamboo rat skin, in a location that is prone to wear.
The leather has good ductility and does not feel tight after being patched. There are so many bamboo rats in the village, which contribute to the leather.
As for how to cook the skin better, that is, to prepare it with salt, I am still confused!
In addition to patches, villagers also wear uniform sheepskin boots, which are worn only in winter and spring.
Why not wear cowhide? Too little cowhide. What about pig skin? Isn’t pork rinds used to make braised pork and frozen pork rinds?
Last time I bought dead mules, horses and donkeys, the mules were used to make tools, the horses were used to burn ashes for topical medicine, and the donkeys were used to boil donkey hide gelatin.
After entertaining the officials, the three villagers got on the boat and headed upstream to the village, while the others drove away.
The mayor left money to buy bitter salt, but there was not a penny left, so he didn't want to spend all the money he could.
I bought honey. Honey in winter is more expensive than in spring and summer, but ordinary honey cannot reach the price of rock sugar.
The different kinds of honey I bought today range from 75 to 100 yuan a pound, and the more expensive ones are taken back to those who need them to condition their bodies and use them as medicine.
Leaving aside other medicines, making honey pills and water honey pills cannot be done without honey.
In addition to honey, buy some essential oils, which are also medicinal and are good for making medicinal incense.
Sitting in the car back to the village, Zhu Wentian looked at the jar of honey in a daze, and the village leader saw: "Hanhan, you want to eat? How many spoons can I get for you?"
"No, spring, bees, flowers, honey, raising, um! Hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian responded that he wanted to raise bees.
Last year when the rapeseeds were blooming, there were a lot of wild bees flying around. I was too busy to take care of them.
If you have free time this year, you can make bee buckets and beehives to attract wild bees from other places.
Usually in spring, the old bees give up their original place to their children and leave with the swarm to find a new place.
Beekeepers don't want the old ones to leave, so they build new hives and then splash water to wet the wings to eliminate the smell, and then they can stay.
If you want to build a glass greenhouse this winter, you can either bring the villagers to dip the flowers yourself, or put a beehive inside.
Nowadays, all bees are Chinese bees, which are less toxic and will not kill people unless they sting under special circumstances.
Honey is available in all seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. For example, Nanjing’s pure winter honey is more expensive than other honeys.
The local area belongs to Zhangzhou Prefecture. Today I bought winter honey produced there for 160 yuan per catty.
At worst, I would set up a greenhouse to grow medicinal flowers. Anyway, I have to raise bees in spring, which is when the rapeseed flowers bloom.
"Ah! I haven't raised one before. Does the sting hurt?" Li Chang was confused. It's not like he has never been stung by a wild bee. Does it hurt...
"No, village, vegetables, flowers, teaching." Zhu Wentian did not answer this kind of question and put forward new ideas.
"Okay, there are also rapeseeds. When they bloom, we'll teach them how to keep bees."
The headmaster responded and raised his hand to touch the left side of his forehead. There was a small mark there where he had been stung by a bee.
When I was stung, I didn't know how to deal with it. I actually used incense to burn it, which left a mark.
Later, when he was stung again, he had experience. After that time, he asked someone to just apply miso.
"Hanhan, I've been stung in this area. I used incense to burn it, but I found that just applying soybean paste will do the trick."
The director thought about it and asked Hanhan to look at his forehead.
Zhu Wentian looked at it, nodded, and after a slight hesitation said: "Pick out the tail needle and poison sac, use weak alkaline medicine, add tribulus water to clean it, and use the bitter salt I bought today to smear around the swollen bump, it's almost done.
If some people still can't do it, I will prescribe medicine for external application or internal consumption. People in our village don't have to worry about the cost of medicine.
This perm actually works, it just hurts the enemy and hurts yourself. Sometimes being stung by a bee is the same as being bitten by a mosquito.
Doenjang can actually relieve bee stings and mosquito bites under certain circumstances, because it is made from fermented beans and contains polyphenols. Under normal conditions, polyphenols are anti-allergic. "
The director blinked blankly and reached out to touch Hanhan's head: "You didn't exist at that time! Later... the blind fortune teller couldn't be found.
If I meet him again, I will give him a thousand taels of silver. It's not that you are only worth a thousand taels. I'm worried that giving him too much will bring trouble to him. "
"No, raise it, hehehehehe!" Zhu Wentian shook his head and raised it as soon as he found it. There is no use in giving money.
If you have more money, you will be noticed outside, and you will feel more comfortable living in the village. If you are blind elsewhere, how can you compare with Xiaqiu Village?
…
Before evening, fifty-three cars returned to the village, and the children waiting at the entrance of the village cheered and ran back to tell everyone.
The boat has not arrived yet due to the adverse current. Fortunately, the wind is good today, blowing from north to south. When the south wind picks up, it will start to rain!
The pigs were lifted off one by one and sent to the makeshift pig pen. Cooked food was placed in the pig trough, and the rope that tied the hooves was untied. The pigs instantly lost their temper and ran to the trough to eat. They were starving.
Looking at the big fat pigs, the villagers laughed, and the boatman who stayed by the river set off to meet the three salt boats.
They didn't know that there was a career as a pilot, but they knew that they had to help guide the other side's ships to land better.
I had bamboo rat for dinner today. Affected by the living environment and habits, the meat of bamboo rat tastes good and is not fishy.
After killing, you don’t need to soak the bamboo rat meat in cold water. You can directly wash it and then slice and sauté it, cut it into shreds, fry it, cut it into cubes and stew it. You only need to cut it finely to make sauteed meat.
After another half an hour, four ships arrived, and the pilot ship directed three ships to dock at the dock.
The villagers stepped forward, prepared the livestock carts, backed them into the dock, and waited for unloading.
There is a wooden track on which an unloading truck is pushed. Bags of salt are put on the truck first and then pushed to the side of the truck.
The sixty people who came were dumbfounded. They saw the elderly Japanese women watching and the children of all sizes cheering beside them.
Everyone's clothes were made of silk, and only the villagers who were transporting them temporarily wore hemp clothes.
It's not completely dark yet, so all the lanterns are lit. Do you still light up lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month? No money for oil?
The three people who were with the boat went down first and changed their clothes. The clothes they were wearing now were for work.
Together they helped unload the goods. The headman first gave the money and then asked the 60 people to wash their hands and prepare to eat.
"Dinner and drinks, stay here tonight, don't worry, no one will steal your money, more than fifty dollars is not worth our while, come on, rub your hands with soap."
After giving the money, the headman said hello, Hanhan said, you can't ask people to leave immediately, they will rush back as hard as they can, and they will easily fall down suddenly and never get up again.
