The clouds were floating slowly in the morning, and the cowherd boy and his friends drank fish porridge and ate the same dumplings as yesterday.
By the time they returned home with the packed dumplings, Zhu Biao had already sent someone to send back the appointment instructions.
He kept the ones copied by the chief of staff and sent them back together with others.
Today, the army began to bring dry food and disperse to various places to clean up threats that could cause harm to local people. The people followed behind to harvest herbs.
Zhu Biao read while holding a book while the steam engine continued to make popcorn sticks. There were many people in the area, mainly due to the large area, and it needed to be sent to villages for the people to taste.
Zhu Xi was bored for a while. There were no account books for him to deal with, so he simply sat under the umbrella and practiced calligraphy.
Zhu Wentian, Li Chang and others set off and walked westward. There were no guards following them, so everyone thought they were just strolling around.
As a result, it was very far away as soon as we went out. After walking for more than half an hour, we finally saw the mountain.
"This is the outskirts of Langya Mountain. Looking at the footprints on the ground, we can see that people and troops have entered, and there are a lot of medicinal materials inside.
The Zuiweng Pavilion is written about this mountain, which is a scenic spot, but its greatest use value now is to build medicine gardens around it.
The mountain is very big. Once you go up the mountain, you will find Chuzhou on the other side.
Medicinal gardens should also be opened on the mountain to grow medicinal materials and some safe houses should be built to prepare reserves for future construction. "
Without outsiders around, Zhu Wentian could speak fluently.
He didn't want to go up the mountain to see the Drunkard's Pavilion because it was far away. He came here just to see the surrounding terrain with his own eyes.
Arranged around the entire Langya Mountain, medicinal materials from the north and south can grow normally here.
As long as the imperial court is willing to give orders, Langya Mountain will soon become a medicinal planting base.
As for the mines in the mountains, they are difficult to mine and the cost is too high. The key is that they will destroy the human environment here.
When Zhongdu is completed, many people will gather here to live and live here. It is close to Nanjing, so it will naturally become a tourist attraction.
It is absolutely impossible to sell tickets, but you can operate other service industries.
"Hanhan, when we are on our way again to Huaiyuan, along the river, tell me about the situation at that location."
The chief was very worried that His Highness the Prince would ask questions that he was not prepared for, and he would be embarrassed if he could not answer them.
"Huaiyuan? It was named after the Huaiyuan Army. It cannot be viewed in isolation. It lies in the surrounding river, the Huaihe River.
If we take the water route, we can actually go all the way to Kaifeng, then turn to the Yellow River, and then pass through some steep areas to reach Xi'an.
The Huaihe River connects Kaifeng, reaches Hongze Lake in the east, and finally enters the Yellow River and the sea together..."
Zhu Wentian slowly talked about the situation in Huaiyuan. There is no Bengbu City yet, but there are many docks.
The reason why it is called Bengbu must be looked at separately. Beng is a river clam, and Bu is a wharf.
There are a lot of river mussels there that are edible, not just in a small area but over a long distance in the entire river basin.
More mussels in the river means more plankton, which is the best place to raise ducks, so any place like this is guaranteed to have duck specialties.
Including Chuzhou along the way and now Fengyang, just say it is a specialty, but the real role is that raising ducks is a way for people to make a living.
As he talked, everyone walked back.
When we returned, there were already people running back and forth nearby bringing the game they had caught to the camp.
Everyone hurried over to clean up and prepare for lunch. The wild boar was not touched and was left to others to eat. There was no time to cook the wild boar.
The smell of wild boar is so strong that it needs to be soaked in cold water for a long time.
People in Xiaqiu Village specialize in rabbit meat, which doesn't have much of a smell and is fried with dogwood oil and Sichuan peppercorns to make spicy rabbit meat.
As for the vegetables, isn’t there a vegetable plot where the cowboys and other children can grow them? Pick something edible and give them money later, or exchange it with something.
There were two wild geese that were shot down by someone's hand, and they were used to make soup.
Let them clean up dangerous things. Are rabbits dangerous? Can wild geese eat humans?
"Some people from Guanglu Temple will come and teach you how to make wolf meat," the village chief shouted.
The cook from Guanglu Temple immediately ran over to the two chefs, looking like they were asking for advice humbly.
"Make it according to the method of making dog meat. In the past, if you didn't send this kind of recipe to the palace, dog meat wouldn't be served.
Now we have to eat it. Wolf meat is almost the same as dog meat, and the cooking methods are the same.
It should be noted that whether dog meat tastes good depends on the dog sauce, and the same goes for wolf meat.
You have to use wolf meat, wolf oil, and wolf offal to stir-fry the sauce, and add perilla leaves, which are all around.
The other ingredients are tofu and dried vegetables. We can grind the tofu ourselves and collect the dried vegetables at people’s homes.
The dog meat pot made in this way is the most fragrant, the dog meat will roll three times, and the gods will not be able to stand still..."
The chief explained in detail how to prepare wolves using the method of making dog meat, and you can eat wolf meat pot in the evening.
In the process of making, some small tricks are more important. For a good dog meat pot, you cannot put dog sauce in the pot, which will affect the taste.
By the time the two chefs learned the lesson, the meal was ready and the dishes continued to be cooked.
There are enough seasonings involved in the team, and some of them are medicinal materials themselves.
When the people who had not gone out to clean up had eaten, the people from Guanglu Temple ate the soup rice as quickly as possible and ran to deal with other game, especially wolves, which everyone would eat tonight.
Zhu Wentian did not take action to deal with the wolves. The method of making dog meat pot he provided was the method used by the Korean people in Northeast China at that time. The Korean people were the most powerful eaters of dog meat.
"It looks like I have to rely on you to take care of me along the way. My cooking is not good."
Zhu Biao ate spicy rabbit meat and talked to the people in Xiaqiu Village with a smile.
The people from Xiaqiu Village came out with him. They had to take care of everything and help with suggestions.
"Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. Your Highness the Crown Prince has managed the country well, so why worry about the food not being delicious?" said the head of the village.
"Bang, bang, fresh, hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian said in time.
"Hanhan means cooking." Zhu Biao corrected.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Zhu Wentian nodded, you are right.
Zhu Biao: "..."
After a comfortable lunch, Zhu Biao drank green tea and chatted with Li Chang.
"Zhu Lichang, when dealing with things that can hurt people, why don't you leave the fur to the local area?"
"Your Highness, the winter here is not very cold. If you give the furs to the people, why not take them north.
Many people in the North cannot afford leather clothes and shoes, and they should indeed be taught how to keep rabbits in the future.
A coat cannot be made from a sheep's skin. Sheep are difficult to raise, but rabbits are easy to raise.
In the past, if we encountered special circumstances, we could only collect fur from the local area for temporary processing. "
The head of the village did not agree to leave all kinds of skins to the local people because it was colder in the north.
Zhu Biao nodded: "Indeed, if we acquire and impact their market, they will not have the money to buy furs to make clothes.
In this way, if we go hunting all the way, we can save a lot wherever we go.
A piece of wild boar skin is not too small, so you can process it slowly and make things when you get there. "
"You can also buy the furs from the surrounding people and the homes of hunters. If the people are willing to sell them at a slightly higher price, a cotton coat will be enough for them in winter."
The chief added that local people also have furs and keep them at home, waiting to see what they can do with them or sell them when they have enough.
