"Hanhan, is it stuffy in the mosquito net?" The resident stood next to the shelf and looked at the two small lights on the bracket of the kite net in the river.
"No, the house is hot, the river is full of fish, hehehe" Zhu Wentian carefully got out of the mosquito net.
He picked up a long net from the side, fished it on the moving net, picked up the wheat fish that used to absorb oil and water, and put it into the net along the river.
He couldn't sleep. The village had a bumper wheat harvest, and he felt a sense of accomplishment. Food was the basis of people's livelihood. With food in his hands, he didn't panic. Down to earth and beaming with joy.
The village made a show of reporting the method to the imperial court, and the entire Ming Dynasty would promote scientific breeding.
It is absolutely impossible to expect the people to farm scientifically. If the court takes the lead in solving the seed problem, everything else will be easy to handle.
Li Chang looked at the fish that Hanhan had caught and shook his head gently, "Small fish are hard to cook and have little meat."
"Bread the children in bread and deep-fry them, let the boat manager do it tomorrow He changed the net with small holes and caught a handful of fish to stew for everyone. It was too hot to eat."
Zhu Wentian fished out another fish, but there was no big fish. It's about an inch.
“How can you not eat when you have food? It’s not about eating chaff. If you catch the small ones, the big ones will also be in the net. The small ones have more thorns.”
The manager didn’t feel like eating. What's the problem? I'm tired from working and really hungry if I don't eat.
"Simmer fish with many thorns. After a long time, the thorn edges will become crispy. When it cools, use a shovel to scoop it out. The fish meat will not be broken into pieces and will still taste delicious."
Zhu Wentian has a way. In response, in order to eat, Chinese people have come up with many tricks. Even the smallest fish and shrimp can be made delicious.
Thinking of this, he looked at the village chief, "The village makes rain and dew, like soy sauce. It is made with koji, which can shorten the fermentation time, and then it is made with high salt, and it can be eaten after two years."
p>
"Okay" The manager thought about it carefully. I had never heard of it, so I just did it. The soy sauce village already eats its own brew, which really saves money.
There are also bean paste, fermented bean curd, stinky tofu, and vinegar, but I haven’t eaten the vinegar because it is young. I bought the older ones elsewhere. I bought a dozen jars at a time and kept them well.
By boat, there are rivers from where the village is to Dangtu and Xuancheng.
The way to Xuancheng is Juxi, and to Dangtu is the river connecting Danyang Lake and the Yangtze River. A short walk along the Yangtze River is Dangtu County, which is right next to the village.
“When we change seeds with the imperial court this year, ask the imperial court to provide more wheat in several places. We will mark it and plant it.
The yield of seeds in one place will decrease if they are planted for a long time. , it must be exchanged with other places.
Be careful that the emperor does not allow people to move freely, and can only organize exchanges. One exchange can solve the problem.
It is best to exchange with neighboring counties. Food grown in places that are too far away may not be suitable for the local area, and the yield may be lower."
Zhu Wentian doesn't care whether Zhu Yuanzhang's restriction on population mobility is correct or not, the seeds have to flow.
Now that the People's Republic of China has just been founded, Zhu Yuanzhang is worried about people running around making trouble. Normally, people do not go out all the time, only when they buy and sell things.come out.
The village chief listened carefully and realized that this was not a matter of the village, but related to the entire Ming Dynasty and was a national policy.
"Livestock is the same as crops. You cannot expect one breeding pig to take care of all the pigs. No matter how good it is, the population will degenerate."
Zhu Wentian talked about the livestock issue again. Listen for a long time. When it is time to watch the ceremony, someone asks the chief, and the chief always has to answer.
The head of the first village in the Ming Dynasty must be the head of the first village in the Ming Dynasty. He must be able to manage the village well and know more.
Poof, a black fish suddenly jumped up and went straight to the wheat fish that was drinking oil and water around the flesh.
The "fish" shouted.
The net in Zhu Wentian’s hand swung and retracted, and a snakehead fish estimated to weigh four kilograms was brought ashore.
"The snakehead fish also bites at night, but it's too small. Let's make soup for the village elder."
Zhu Wentian took out a knife and processed the snakehead fish by the river, separating the internal organs. Throw into two nets.
"Hanhan, you go to bed earlier." The headman said as he helped put the fish on with grass and carried it back.
"Yeah, sleep" Zhu Wentian nodded.
Then the two of them started having fun together.
At dawn, Zhu Wentian woke up, caught another fish, closed the net, and squatted there to squeeze the internal organs of the wheat fish.
Don’t throw the offal into the water. Feed it back to the chickens and ducks. They love to eat it, especially the chicks and ducks. The big ones will protect them while they eat.
He took care of it and took it back to the village and handed it over to the canteen, leaving the place where he slept yesterday untied.
People from other villages had already gone to work in the fields while Zhu Wentian was squeezing fish. Each of them drank a bowl of porridge, ate a few mouthfuls of pickles, and took sickles to the fields.
I came here for lunch at noon. When I woke up in the morning, the weather was cool and the ground was not so sunny.
Have a rest after lunch. Today there is mutton soup again. There is less mutton offal and more mutton. Fill more than half a bowl and then ladle out the oily soup.
The staple food is pork stuffed siomai. When mixing the stuffing, extra rapeseed oil is added. When the dish is dipped in vinegar or soy sauce, the oil will gurgling out.
Zhou Zong took one bite at a time and ate three of them before stopping to drink the soup. "Eating in your village will make you fat. It's good to have more big animals."
He and his people also Participate in the harvesting, otherwise everyone else is doing the work, and they watch from the side
The innocent people ran to the field to help bundle the animals and move them to the animals, while other children led the animals to transport them back and forth.
The advantage of having a large number of livestock in the village is revealed. They go directly to the fields with the racks, without anyone picking them up.
"In another two or three years, all the villages in the county will have more than 50 large livestock."
The head of the village was focusing on other villages. They would still lend livestock to others, even if other villages chipped in to buy it.
With interplanting twice a year, plus the wheat planted after clearing land, as long as you are not lazy, you can buy a lot of big livestock in three years at most.
Unless people from other villages are unwilling to chip in to buy it, they deserve to be poor. Outsiders cannot help, let alone help.
Zhou Zong imagined a group of big animals in each village and said, "Xuancheng County will then become the first county in the Ming Dynasty, and your village will be the first village in the Ming Dynasty."
"There are also salt merchants. They make a lot of money." The director shook his head.
"How can they make money? You don't want to make money if you have money."
Zhou Zong disagreed. Salt merchants need to send grain and grass to the army, and then exchange salt for lead. We are selling salt. We need to feed a large group of people. It is a long journey. How much money can we make in one trip?
Everything sold in Xiaqiu Village is low-cost and high-priced. Once a batch is made, put it there. Keep it and sell it when you need the money.
If the village wants to make money, it can transport goods further along the Yangtze River, and one shipment of goods can be exchanged for one shipment of money.
“My village doesn’t need that much cash. If I keep it in the house, I’m always worried about someone coming to steal or rob it.”
The village chief admitted that he could make money, but he refused to do it. Life in the Village It's good enough.
"Robbing, fighting, uh hey hey hey" Zhu Wentian raised his head to brush his presence.
"Hanhan is right, your village is trying to figure out how to make handguns."
As soon as Zhou Zong heard Hanhan talk about fighting, he thought of firearms and sent them to the villagers to refine the copper. Casting, could it be possible?
Li Chang hesitated, "Well, let's see, it's coming soon, it's going to be soon."
He knew the progress, and the first gun would be made before going to Nanjing. When it comes out, there is only one. The design given by Hanhan is too laborious to make.
