The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 70

With deep doubts, the imperial chef prepared two kinds of salty glutinous rice fillings according to Wang Hao's wishes - salted egg yolk fresh meat and chestnut fresh meat.

He is in charge of adjusting the stuffing, and some of the stuffing is done by others, and it can be steamed in a pot soon.

Halfway through the steaming, I could smell the aroma - a domineering aroma that is completely different from the sweet rice dumplings, lingering in the mouth and nose.

After the fire was turned off, it was stewed all night, and the pot was not started until the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Yu Chu took a sip, and his eyes lit up instantly.

good to eat!

too delicious!

It turns out that the salty rice dumplings are so delicious!

The royal chef seems to have opened the door to a new world.

From then on, he obeyed the princess's words and never doubted her again.

She does what she says, even if she subverts the traditional practice, she must have her reasons.

Dozens of people from all over the palace were all fascinated by the novel taste of salty rice dumplings, and King Jinnan was no exception.

He was originally indifferent to sweet snacks.

After the Dragon Boat Festival and Lantern Festival, you should try a bite or two at most. I didn't expect that the zongzi could be made into salty ones.

This morning, he ate three zongzi in one go, and thought the zongzi made in the kitchen were stingy.

Xu Yin: "..."

Brother, is this still young?What do you plan to call the zongzi of later generations?Mini dumpling?

King Jinnan asked while eating: "Wangfei, does the princess know if the Lantern Festival can be made into something salty?"

Xu Yin: Before the Dragon Boat Festival is over, you are thinking about the Lantern Festival?

However, salty Lantern Festival?
Yes!Fresh meat, abalone in chicken sauce, leek and egg, and super delicious marinated Du Xian.

Any stuffing that can be used to make dumplings can also be used to make Yuanxiao.

Yan Kejin nodded while listening: "I am very much looking forward to next year's Lantern Festival."

Xu Yin: Ning is an invisible foodie!
In the eyes of the Central Plains people, Nanman in May is completely summer. Xu Yin has been fanning her hands for several days. One word: hot!

Therefore, rice dumplings steamed in the morning may go bad in the evening.

Xu Yin asked the kitchen to pack the remaining zongzi, and the prince was going to inspect the mine and bring them to the mine workers for a share.

Although most of the miners are exiles, but for the holidays, it is appropriate to send out rice dumplings.

It would be great if there is ice, freeze some, and steam it whenever you want to eat.

Xu Yin couldn't help sighing.

The saltpeter has not been found, it is better to get out the electric motor as soon as possible, she misses the refrigerator and the electric fan.

"Master, the mountain baby saw you coming." The nanny came in with a smile and said, "This child is very polite. He said that he thanked you for taking care of his family. He specially made rice dumplings and picked mountain products to send over."

Shanwa is the child who discovered hematite.

Xu Yin kept his promise, and after discovering that the hematite mine was worth developing, he rewarded him with 100 taels of silver, and even arranged a job for his parents.

His father had broken his leg before, and it was healed, but it was still difficult for him to walk, so he was arranged to watch the gate of the mine.

Her mother was good at cooking, and it happened that the mine needed to hire a few cooks who could cook, and one of them recommended her.

The wages in the mine are not high, but they are stable. There are holidays and red envelopes to reward silver during the New Year and holidays, which is much better than planing food in the ground and collecting herbs in the mountains.

What's more, there is an extra reward of 100 taels, and Shanwa's family has been lifted out of poverty.

As soon as Xu Yin came out, Shanwa knelt down and kowtowed to her excitedly.

Xu Yin twitched her lips, coming to the ancient small world, the most uncomfortable thing is kneeling and kowtowing.

Fortunately, I was already on the way south when I came here. If I was in Beijing, I would have to kneel down and bow to someone with a higher grade than myself. I really can't stand it.

"Is your family all right?"

"If you go back to the princess, it's all good." Shanwa said happily, "My father's legs are much better, and my mother cooks for the mine, earning 30 cash a day, and doing it with two aunts in turn, so I'm not tired at all. If I have free time, I can do some embroidery work."

As he spoke, he presented the embroidered shoes made by his mother.

Xu Yin accepted it happily, without the slightest dislike, she really thought Shan Wa Niang's craftsmanship was good.

"Go back and ask your mother if you want to come to the palace for embroidery work."

When the cocoons are in batches, we must open a silk weaving workshop and hire a group of embroiderers to embroider on silk brocade with silk thread. It is better to embroider on both sides. You can also try large-scale screens and ornaments, and then transport them to the Central Plains, In Beijing, earn money from rich and idle people.

"Yeah." Shanwa nodded vigorously, "My mother will definitely be happy."

"Don't worry, go home and ask your mother's opinion."

Shanwa sent zongzi, embroidered shoes and two pheasants tied with ropes and still fluttering.

Xu Yin returned him two catties of brown sugar, a knife of meat, a basket of vegetables from Zhuangzi, and twelve rolls of embroidery threads of different colors.

For exotic vegetables such as tomatoes, she included a simple recipe, so that the mountain baby would not be able to make it when it was brought home, and it would be wasted.

After the mountain baby left, Xu Yin ordered the big kitchen: "Just make a pheasant soup for lunch today, it doesn't need to be too complicated."

The imperial chef is the best at making soup. It just so happened that the officials in charge of the exiles who crossed the continents learned that King Jinnan had come to the fiefdom, so they brought a batch of local fruits as a tribute. There is nothing better than stewed chicken soup.

So, the meal presented to Xu Yin at noon was——

Fresh Yam Coconut Chicken Soup and Pork-cut Chicken in Garlic Oil.

Authentic pheasant two to eat.

Xu Yin ate it so eloquently that she ordered another pheasant to be kept for the time being, and will be stewed for him when the prince is at home.

Food should be shared.

……

While Xu Yin was enjoying the life of the Southern Man with a combination of work and rest, the team escorting Liu Cheng and Wang Zhihai finally arrived in Beijing after traveling day and night for a month.

As soon as the charges of the two men were made public, the whole court was in an uproar.

Nanban is such a poor place, yet there are officials who are corrupt, and even under the banner of King Jinnan, no wonder they were tied up and sent to Beijing by the prince.

Is this throwing the face of the royal family underfoot or something, it's too bullying!
If it weren't for the fact that the lord of the fief was not allowed to interfere in the government affairs, King Jinnan would have directly beheaded someone, and no one would have dared to comment.

But he just tied him up and let the emperor send him down.

The candidate for the new county guard is still handpicked by the emperor.

Who dares to say that King Jinnan broke the rules?Isn't it all within the rules!

As for what was said in the memorial, the mansions of the two goods were searched, and the proceeds of the search were used to offset the taxes of the people of the two counties until they were exhausted.

That's right, what is taken from the people will naturally be returned to the people, otherwise is this world fair?What if the people rebel?
At this time, if you don't express your opinion in front of the emperor, what should you do if the emperor suspects that they are fellows?
As a result, hundreds of civil and military officials came out to express their support:
"The minister seconded King Jinnan's proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

In fact, King Jinnan's approach is not very feasible in counties near central Beijing.

Because this area is relatively rich, the people's fat and people's anointing that the corrupt officials scavenged in a year may be richer than the emperor's small private treasury.

Who is willing to give the people tax credits with vain silver?

In the final analysis, Nanban is too poor, so poor that the emperor is not exempted from taxes. How much money can there be?
