Chapter 36 Matchmaking and gifts (third update)
"Yichang, how about it?" Li Zhixian asked directly when he saw Li Chang coming back with a relaxed expression.
"I went to check out the village's reserves. I can provide... soap, but not prescriptions."
The head of the village spoke according to the language he organized on the way back, and he was no longer afraid.
He knew that the other party knew that he had gone to find someone to ask, but he would not admit it.
I'm so tired of you, but you can't figure out that it's Hanhan's teaching.
"How much?" the county magistrate said from the side.
"I'll give you a thousand yuan first, give you a hundred yuan, and then sell it to the palace for five thousand yuan and two hundred yuan a piece.
I have a request. The soaps sold can be replaced with oil. Any oil can be used.
If the palace sells it to foreigners, it is best to change the oil, as soap is made of oil.
There is a new crop of rapeseed planted in the village, otherwise we would not be able to make soap from the oil."
The manager is not afraid that the other party will make soap after knowing a certain ingredient. The process of making the thing looks simple, how can you guess if you don't like it?
The chief clerk swallowed: "Use oil? Oil people can eat it, oops!"
Li Zhixian tapped his finger on the table: "This matter must be explained clearly. If the foreigners exchange our oil for other things, our people will eat less."
He understands that once the price is right, it will be sold to foreigners in large quantities in the future. What to do with the oil?
"Three days later, you sent people to the village to pick it up, and they happened to go west and into the Yangtze River.
Otherwise, you can bring a ship over, enter the Yangtze River from the river, and go down the river to Nanjing without transporting it by land."
The village chief knows the road conditions, and it is very convenient to go to Nanjing from the village, as there is a river connecting it.
Just coming back is a countercurrent, which is more troublesome.
"Okay, three days." Li Zhixian thought it was okay and transferred a boat to the village.
He looked at Li Chang: "Yichang, what else do you want to say?"
The master knows what the palace wants, do you have any ideas?
"What's for lunch?" There was something to say, asking about the food.
"Of course, what does the village do? What will I eat? Is there any meat today?"
Li Zhixian is very disappointed. Is this what you want to say?
"Pork, the pig that was killed last night and stuffed with sausage is just right to eat." The chief said, he was greedy.
"The sausages were made yesterday? They need to be dried." Dianshi reminded the other party.
"The sausages are dried to be dried. The sausages in the village are cooked and grilled with fruit wood from wild fruits in the mountains."
Li Chang swallowed hard, why hasn't noon arrived yet? The sun moves too slowly.
Li Zhixian swallowed his saliva: "Okay, is it delicious?"
"It smells so good, hehehe..." The director raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth.
…
It's finally time to eat. Today there are no braised pork or pork stir-fried dishes.
There are sliced sausages and sliced squid on the main table, and the staple food is rice.
Li Zhixian was not polite. He picked up a piece of sausage, ate it in his mouth, and nodded: "It's delicious. It's different from the sausage we make."
"You guys, take some with you when you go back." The village chief was willing to give it, and there was no shortage of meat in the village.
You can sell the soap at will and buy pigs, and they will help connect the village with the palace.
If there are any good things in the future, send them to the palace first, and see who dares to cause trouble to the village?
"What is this?" The county magistrate took a piece of stuffed rice and didn't know how to describe it after eating it.
It looks like frozen pork or cooked fish, but it's different.
Milky white with red spots inside.
"Mengzi, the red stuff inside is the leftovers for making sausages. Look, it's the same color as sausages."
Add stuffed seeds inside and dip it in garlic sauce, which is minced garlic put in soy sauce.
Less salt is used in the making process of stuffed rice. You can eat it without dipping it in soy sauce, but it is not that salty.
This type is northeastern stuffed rice, but it is not the black stuffed rice from Dalian that is used for frying.
The sausage is red sausage. When it was introduced to Zhu Wentian from the Soviet Union, the leftovers were used to make stuffed sausage, which is available in the three northeastern provinces.
When cooking red sausage, you need to use a needle to deflate it, just like cooking blood sausage.
Once pricked, some of the contents will come out along the needle hole and end up in the water.
The stuffing is made directly with this water and starch, without any waste.
Zhu Wentian worked hard to teach the village about snacks from all over the country. There are many choices and they are comfortable to eat.
If you always eat the same thing, unless it is a staple food, you will get tired of it and get injured.
In the past, the village was poor and it was considered good to have enough food. Why should we be picky? I have no qualifications.
Now that the village has money, they can eat in different ways, and the villagers can even make requests.
"It's delicious. I'll dip it in it too." Li Zhixian followed suit.
"Bring it with you when you go back." The manager continued to give it, saying it was worthless.
Most babies in the village love to eat stuffed buns. For example, Zhu Cheng's Juju, after weaning, would hold the stuffed buns in his mouth with his little hands, and the stuffed buns would break into pieces.
The county magistrate ate two slices and was worried: "The county is waiting for the people to live a good life, and I am waiting for promotion. Where can I go to eat somewhere else?"
As soon as he said this, the other three people suddenly felt sad.
There is a Xiaqiu Village, and the things taken from Xiaqiu Village already exceed the salary.
If there is no Xiaqiu Village in another place, would you dare to go to other villages to eat?
The head of the village also didn't want the officials to be transferred. Now that they were getting along well, he sighed: "Oh! What a great promotion. No matter where you go, write a letter and the village will make something that can be preserved for a long time and send it to you."
"Send it, send it! Hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian found an opportunity to interrupt.
"Yichang, let me thank you in advance." Li Zhixian's eyes were red.
In the afternoon, the official team had to go back, wait three days after reporting, and then come back to adjust the ship.
The village gives sausages and stuffed seeds in bamboo baskets.
He also took ten pieces of cotton cloth and wrapped a hundred pieces of soap, saying that it was hot and he was worried that it would melt in the sun.
We said goodbye at the entrance of the village, and as we got further away from the village, the team of ten people slowed down.
"The palace always dispatches ships to transport things from Xiaqiu Village. If there is any shortage, a ship should always be ready to dock at the village."
Li Zhixian proposed that the things should not be taken for free and that the village should be given a boat for use.
Guan Xiancheng agreed and added: "It is true that the boatmen are required to work and are replaced every month. I think they will be willing to work and even refuse to agree to change."
"That's right, as long as the boatmen come to the village, the village will definitely give them delicious food and give them things to take home." The chief bookkeeper agreed.
"It's best to arrange it for the Dan people. Their homes are boats and their boats are their homes. To get a bigger boat, you need to find it elsewhere."
Dian Shi came up with the idea to leave a family to the village. The Dan people lived on the boat and could come down and live in the village.
…
The headman turned around and came back to see where the ponds were being dug. Ten ponds were to be dug.
According to the size designed by Zhu Wentian, one pond is enough to feed the cattle and sheep in the village until next year.
The extra ponds are sold to others. There are cattle in other villages. They lose fat after winter, so they feed them (ah) concentrate to gain weight before working.
It is not necessary to eat silage. Ruminant animals eat silage and put it into the rumen, then spit it out and chew it again.
Silage allows them to save fermentation time and improve nutrient absorption.
As long as they eat silage and feed them straw, it's fine, otherwise they'll get sick if they're fed only straw.
"The head of the village, Hanhan asked me to sell it to other villages. How much would it cost? It's too expensive and they can't afford it."
The working villagers were afraid that their goods would not sell well when they took a break to drink water. It is normal for animals to lose weight in winter, as there is no green grass.
"As long as you have enough knowledge, let others know that after making something like this, you will not lose weight, and they will learn to do it in the future."
The director waved his hand. He knew what Hanhan was thinking. He made the grass when it was green and it was still green when he ate it.
No more today. The farmer is very sleepy. It must be because he was tired yesterday and the decoration upstairs affects the quality of his sleep.
