Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Brother Dao took people to buy the pig, and took five or six hoes as weapons. Lin Yuan thought they had robbed them at first, but Brother Dao had a reason.

"Mountain roads are difficult to walk, let alone bandits, even wild animals are troublesome." Brother Dao said with experience, "There is a guy who takes advantage of it, and it is better than bare hands."

Lin Yuan thought it made sense, and only asked them to pay attention to safety. Compared with human lives, pigs and sheep were not so important.

Someone nearby heard it and said in a loud voice: "Boss, that's what you think. When I was a child, there was a famine in my hometown. A handful of fine grains can be exchanged for a lively girl. Sometimes human life is worthless!"

Sometimes food and meat are worth more than life, especially in troubled times.

Lin Yuan: "Go quickly."

The man showed his yellow teeth: "Let's go."

When I came back, I brought two sheep, five piglets, including two sows and three boars.

The sows will keep their litters, one boar will be used as a breeding pig, and the other two will be fanned by the peddlers. This is what Lin Yuan told them. There are not many fanned pigs now. Some places fanned and some places did not. No one in their village knows how to incite, just in case, it is better to peddle pigs themselves, and when they grow up, they can kill and eat meat.

The sheep are all big sheep, but they are very thin. People can't get enough to eat these days, let alone animals.

Brother Dao: "The family is on the mountain, and they want some old grain. They say that these animals can't be sold for a price now, and they don't want to give away some grain for nothing, so they stayed."

Now those who have money have gone to buy food, but those who buy meat are indeed a minority.

The sheep was slaughtered that day, the head was boiled into soup, and the mutton was made into bacon, which would be distributed as a reward.

Li Da heard that he could drink sheep's head soup tonight, and after finishing his work early, he just sat on the ridge of the field and waited, with the cold wind blowing on his face, it seemed that it was not so cold anymore.

Someone said to him: "What are you smirking at?"

Li said in a loud voice: "Tonight there is sheep's head soup, maybe there is some minced meat!"

The man was startled: "How do you know? There really is sheep's head soup!"

Li Da laughed: "The chef in the cafeteria told me that there will be sheep's head soup tonight, as well as sheep's hooves. Each person can eat a small piece of bone."

When it comes to meat, everyone's mouths start to salivate, and everyone is greedy for meat.

The human body needs energy, and the sources of energy include carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Carbohydrates are now provided by steamed buns, and proteins are provided by soybeans. As for fats—now Lin Yuan is greedy for fat meat, let alone others.

It's just that although there is no fat meat, the taste of meat and beans must be very different.

Who can eat beans if they can eat meat?

Nowadays, the snacks in Zhuangzi are dry fried beans, which are chewy, and you will feel full if you eat too much, but there are too many farts. Whoever eats too many beans in the dormitory, everyone in the dormitory at night will suffer.

When it was time for dinner, everyone packed up their things and went to the cafeteria. The poor people only ate two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. They had never heard of anything for lunch. In order to save food, Lin Yuan wanted to keep his subordinates healthy. Once they are all strong, they will have capital in the future, so they changed to three meals a day.

Although the food is simple, it is still possible to keep full. The bodies of these people have indeed improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At least not many people suffered from wind and cold this winter, which may have something to do with keeping warm.

Recently, women are busy making clothes. At the beginning, they were very nervous. The poor people have to cherish every needle, and they can’t buy a piece of cloth for a year. Their clothes-making skills are actually the same, they can wear It's not bad if there are no seams on the body.

Lin Yuan asked them to make long sleeves and trousers. This is simple, just draw a shape and cut it down, and just sew it with a needle and thread.

Of course, such clothes and trousers can only be worn as underwear, without adding cotton, but the women thought of a way, they automatically divided into several small groups, three or four people were responsible for kneading the dry grass, the kneading was meticulous, and it didn't feel hard at all , and then make the clothes and trousers into two layers on one side, the top is not completely sewn, and a hole is left to stuff the kneaded straw.

This can actually keep you warm, but it's not easy to move.

The clothes are also the same size that Lin Yuan asked them to make. In modern times, they are called one-size-fits-all. There is a strip of cloth sewn on the waist and trouser waist of the clothes. If it is too big, it will be fine if it is too small. A few years will not be small.

Kneading withered grass was still taught by Gouzi.

First dry the dead grass by the fire, and then knead it one by one until the hard skin on the outside is no longer hard, then smash it with a stone, dry it after a bunch of it is done, knead it again, and smash it again, although It's a bit of a hassle, but it works.

In the absence of cotton and cashmere, this is already the best way.

As for the wool and cashmere of the two sheep, Lin Yuan couldn't find a good way to deal with them, so he had to put them away first.

Lin Yuan wants to raise geese next year, and maybe there will be down jackets to wear by the end of the year—but he guesses that the fabrics can't keep up, and he has to get out of the gaps, so he can only think about it at that time.

"smell good!"

"It smells so good, my mouth is watering."

"I can eat two more steamed buns with just this taste."

When they arrived at the cafeteria, they started to line up according to Lin Yuan's teaching - no line, no food, no food.

The bowl is right next to you, you can take it by yourself, and you can eat after you take it, and put the used tableware on the designated seat.

"Get more, give me more!" someone wailed, "I see the meat, go there with your spoon!"

"Hey, I have a sheep's brain!"

"I have it too, I have it too!"

In addition to the mutton head soup, there are shredded sauerkraut and a few steamed buns with mixed noodles. Everyone eats it without raising their heads. The women in the cafeteria have eaten it in advance, but they are still greedy, so they can only look at it. , When they finish eating, what is left is theirs.

Although they felt delicious when they ate it, they felt hungry again seeing the men looking like reincarnated starved ghosts.

The chef of the cafeteria shouted outside: "There will be haggis soup tomorrow night."

This weather is good for storing offal, and it is not easy to stink. The chef cooked the sheep's head today, the offal tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow can eat sheep blood sausage.

Clean up the sheep's intestines, then pour the blood in, and the rough version of the sheep's blood sausage is ready.

It will be a rare delicacy when cooked together with sauerkraut.

Lin Yuan and his family also ate simple food. They only took a small piece of mutton, which was enough for one person to eat two bites. It was stewed with sauerkraut and eaten with more rice. It's delicious.

Lin Yuan thought to himself, he doesn't know if there are any starchy plants in the local area, he really wants to eat vermicelli, the cost of rice noodles is too high... I dare not think about it.

Mung beans can be used to make mung bean powder. I don’t know if there are mung beans now.

The origin seems to be in India and Burma.

When spring begins, go out and ask someone, maybe you have it?

When the pigs are ready, pork stewed with vermicelli, what a joy.

Lin Yuan thought of pork, and thought of the smell of pigs.

Regarding this coquettish smell, I still have to think about it.

And how to fatten them up.

The author has something to say: there is no detailed record of what dynasty introduced mung beans in our country, but a general statement is that our country has a history of growing mung beans for 2000 years.

So the Yuan Dynasty should have existed.
