"This is the second time we have eaten nine-turn large intestine. The last time was at His Majesty's banquet, made by Guanglu Temple."
There is a small clay pot for each person, and the bottom is heated with charcoal. People can add vegetables and soup at any time. Inside is the butchered vegetables.
There are other dishes on the extra small plate, which I will eat a second time.
After he became the prefect of Luoyang, he found someone to make this dish many times, but it didn't taste like that at all.
He didn't know how to cook it, so he just told the chef about the taste and what he saw when he ate it that day.
The cook had never tasted it, so he didn't know the taste. He used a lot of soy sauce, or he added too much onions and ginger, but it still smelled bad.
"It's okay to eat once in a while, but you'll get tired of eating it every day. Xiaqiu Village always uses different methods to cook, and try not to repeat it in a short period of time."
Zhu Xi never thought of asking Xiaqiu Village to teach Yu Zhifu how to make the nine-turn large intestine. There are only three places that can make this dish.
Zhu Biao did not consider the issue of food. He was taken care of by Xiaqiu Village anyway, and he was more concerned about the local economic situation.
"Prefect Yu, as of today, the partners have given more than 1.5 million yuan in deposits, and people from surrounding counties have come.
I will leave one person in charge of both sides. If the yamen has something to do, you can't go directly to where Weaver Girl is.
The female steward who manages Weaver Girl is also not allowed to enter the yamen. All communication can only be with people from this palace. "
"Your Highness, don't worry. How can someone like His Highness... uh... I understand."
Yu Yongzhong would like to ask how you can contact both sides? Thinking again, the prince wanted to leave one eunuch behind.
There is indeed no problem with the eunuch. He is responsible for the most convenient communication between the two parties and no one will say anything.
"Yes!" Zhu Biao said: "The people left behind by me will teach the Weaver Girls literacy and arithmetic. If necessary, Prefect Yu will provide convenience.
In addition, the prefect had to send people to guard the vegetable greenhouse managed by Er Dezi. If the work was not in vain, at least there would be no problem in eating the vegetables.
Er Dezi is in charge of the accounts. If you want to eat any food, tell him whether it is okay to eat or not. "
"His Royal Highness, he takes care of everything by himself, who will supervise him?" Yu Yongzhong thought for the prince.
"No one is supervising him. He will not be greedy for money. It is useless for people in Xiaqiu Village to ask for money. They cannot leave the village to live outside.
Although he talks carelessly, he is very serious in his work, otherwise he would not be sent to preside over such an important matter.
oh! He brought a beehive, and there is fresh honey in the greenhouse in winter. You can ask him for honey, and he will give it to you. "
Zhu Biao thought about bees again. Bees were needed for pollination, otherwise they would have to find someone to dip the flowers.
Yu Yongzhong had never thought about setting up a greenhouse to produce honey in winter. He still had something to say: "How can he be so busy alone?"
“He would hire people, and he would just manage and teach.”
Zhu Ming showed a helpless look, "Do you, Magistrate Yu, do everything by yourself?" So exhausted!
…
It’s the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival.
On the Double Ninth Festival, when there is only one less person planting dogwood everywhere, it is time to harvest the dogwood.
Then there are Cornus officinalis oil and Cornus officinalis sauce, which are spicy and delicious.
However, the team started again and walked along the Luoshui River. Instead of going to Shaanzhou, they moved forward along the waterway. After reaching Luonan, they climbed over the mountains and arrived at Lantian County.
The people of Luoyang County ran to the roadside to see him off, wiping tears from their eyes.
The prince's team did not do anything wrong, but always went to other people's houses to mind their own business, helping them tidy up their yards, repair their houses, clean ditches, and even carry dung to the place where they were soaked.
However, he did not accept anything from the people, not even a boiled egg.
With the prince's team present, the people felt at ease, but at this moment, their hearts were empty.
"The cucumbers in the garden are said to quench their thirst for roots. Why don't you say no? Tell us, if you take them, you will behead them. What happened to a cucumber?"
"It's the same in my family! A good soldier who was given an egg, stuffed with force, and accidentally cut a big gash on his arm while working without saying a word was so frightened that he cried."
"After doing so much work, how much is the normal salary? I serve the cooked food and don't eat anything."
"These are the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty! No wonder Bei Yuan can't defeat them, their military discipline is as high as a mountain!"
When the people seeing him off saw the procession going away, they all started talking about the prince's procession.
The soldiers who were on their way did not feel the hardship, and would not take the people's things if they were not allowed to do so. Anyway, the prince gave them more.
As agreed, wait for the mission to end, return to Yingtian Mansion, and distribute the property according to the harvest on the road.
For example, the wild animals hunted, the fish caught, the medicinal materials collected, and even the money earned from doing business in partnership with others also count.
Based on this, when we return to Yingtian Mansion, one person can get twenty or thirty coins.
It's not included in the normal military pay, it's extra.
What's more, there will be no fighting along the way, we will eat well, have meat every day, and there will be no shortage of autumn fruits.
The happiest thing for soldiers is not to fight, because fighting will kill people.
"Slow down, slow down, it's too fast, don't hit other people's boats."
Zhu Ming sat on the boat and shouted, Luoshui flows from west to east, and the last county to the west of Luoshui is Luonan County.
To the north of Luonan County is Huashan Mountain, and to the west is Zhongling Mountain, which the team has to climb. The water flowing from the two mountain ranges converges together and flows to Luoyang.
At this moment, the boat Zhu Ping was riding was traveling against the current, and the speed was very fast. It was a paddle steamer, powered by a steam engine.
It is so easy for a large group of craftsmen to renovate a ship. The ship can hold twenty people and swish forward under the power of the steam engine.
Zhu Wentian, who was responsible for controlling the operation of the steam engine, adjusted the pressure reducing valve. A large amount of gas was discharged and the ship's speed slowed down.
"Hanhan, you are so skilled! If this is a water fight, our boat will be invincible with our current weapons!"
Especially when we reach the sea, who can stop us? Let's circle around the enemy's ships and hit them.
They use crossbows and we use flintlock muskets. The crossbows are powerful and can shoot far, so they have to hit us.
In the future, the Ming Dynasty Navy will be invincible, so we will trade normally and see who dares to grab it? Bully them to death. "
Zhu Ping shouted excitedly, it was too much.
Zhu Biao didn't say anything. Judging from his expression, he was just as excited. The speed of the boat going upstream was several times faster than that going downriver.
People on the boats transporting goods and fishing along the way were dumbfounded. Someone knew about the paddle wheel. Yes! I have never heard of a wheel spinning so fast.
The key is that the boat changes direction quickly, and it doesn't feel like it's using a rudder.
They felt right. The ship with wheels on the left and right did not have a rudder, and the steering was adjusted by the rotation speed of the wheels. Different directions would naturally mean a change in direction.
With the addition of a differential and a control system, whichever wheel is faster will be faster. This is still a single steam engine.
Replace it with dual engines and control one wheel independently. On the water, you can even turn one wheel forward and one wheel backward, and spin in circles.
Or a single steam engine, add two sets of gears, and switch gears, so that the wheels can rotate forward and backward independently.
However, this device is not practical, especially on the battlefield. The ship must maintain maneuverability. Why stop and turn around? Just going around in a circle.
