Chapter 475 2/2 of the pickled fish that can be stored for twenty years
In the blink of an eye, the time has entered autumn, a spring rain is warm, an autumn rain is cold, and the temperature is dropping rapidly.
The autumn harvest is coming, and finally this year, a total of seven tribes decided to join the Xia Kingdom, counting the population, the seven tribes together are close to seven thousand, and the task given by Su Yan to Luyuan in early spring is that more than five tribes will join the Xia Kingdom this year, and it is obvious that Luyuan has completed the task.
Suddenly 7,000 people have joined the Xia country, coupled with the natural population growth of the Xia country, I am afraid that the increase in the population number this year will exceed 10,000, the total population of the Xia country is getting closer and closer to the number of 100,000, and it is expected that by the end of next year, the total population of the Xia country will exceed 100,000.
Of the seven new clans, six of the clans will be resettled in a new city for every three clans, and the remaining one clan will be resettled in Zhongjing, which usually maintains a population of 15,000, and every time a new city is built, some of the population will be migrated from Zhongjing.
Su Yan can feel that the population of Xia Kingdom has increased a bit this year, and it is not enough to build two new cities, so it is necessary to start building three cities at the same time next year, but fortunately, the total population of Xia Kingdom is growing rapidly, and the adult labor force is also increasing, and he can withstand the task of building three cities at the same time.
This year, the two new cities have just been built, and the three trading fleets of the Xia Kingdom set sail for the seven tribes that will join the Xia Kingdom, and three of the tribes have almost lost their crops this year, so there is no need to wait until after the autumn harvest to move.
And this year, a total of seven tribes have joined the Xia Kingdom, and most of the ships in the Xia Kingdom cannot move all the tribes at once, so they can only come twice, the first time is a little earlier, don't move the second time and winter will come after the end of the second move, the time is too tight, and the residents of the two new cities may not be able to prepare for the winter.
The three trade fleets are mainly for moving tasks, and by the way, they also carry out foreign trade tasks, and even if the tribes with which the Xia Kingdom has come into contact do not trade, the fleets will dock over to inquire about the situation of the tribe.
The rainy summer has a greater or lesser impact on all the tribes, and the Xia country has the smallest impact, followed by the fishing tribe and the Japanese tribe, which have a large population, and those tribes with a population of less than 1,000 have a very large impact, and maybe there is not enough food for the winter.
The tribes that have the idea of joining the Xia Kingdom have already made a decision, and the remaining tribes will not choose to join the Xia Kingdom this year even if they encounter great difficulties, and I am afraid that only when the tribe faces a greater crisis can they choose to join the Xia Kingdom.
Different beliefs, different languages, different cultures, not all tribes will choose to join the Xia Kingdom, although the life on the Xia side is better, but when their tribes can survive normally, most tribes will not choose to join the Xia Kingdom.
Su Yan had already seen through this matter and would not force it, if it weren't for natural disasters, the Xia Kingdom would not have had as many as 12 tribes and tens of thousands of people choose to join the Xia Kingdom for two consecutive years.
If the natural disaster continues, there will be more tribes that will not be able to persevere, and there will be more tribes joining the Xia Kingdom, for the Xia Kingdom, natural disasters are both good and bad things, I just hope that the natural disasters will not increase to the point that even the Xia Kingdom cannot resist.
The fleet went back and forth twice, bringing back all the seven clans, and by the way, bringing back all the animal skins and food of the seven clans, relatively speaking, food is the most important, followed by animal skins, and the remaining stone tools, wood, pottery, etc. are not as good as those of the Xia Kingdom, and it does not take much time to replace them all, and the Xia Kingdom itself also has a large number of reserves of various utensils.
The autumn harvest of Xia has long ended, and the rainy summer has brought a little impact to Xia Guo, and the yield per mu of some crops has decreased slightly, but this year's total grain output has continued to increase, increasing by a little more than one and a half, increasing the population, increasing the number of cattle and horses, all of which have increased the cultivated land area of Xia Guo, and there is nothing strange about the increase in total grain output.
If we compare the proportion of population growth with the proportion of total grain output growth, we can see that the rate of growth in grain output is not as fast as the rate of population growth, but fortunately, the gap between the two sides is not large, and nearly half of the newly increased population are newborns, so there is no need to worry about the food problem for the time being.
The granaries of the cities of Xia are full of grain, and just seeing this grain reassures all the people, but no matter what natural disasters come, the people of Xia will not lack food.
Grain refers only to millet, wheat, soybeans and other grains, and there are two main types of food in the Xia country, one is grain, and the other is salted fish or pickled fish.
The storage time of pickled fish is long and short, and the short period is not edible for a few months, after all, there is no refrigerator, but there are also long storage times, and the period is more than a year.
Su Yan also knows a magical way to pickle fish, it is a local recognized treasure in Guizhou Province, Guizhou Province, China, containing amino acids and a variety of vitamins that cannot be synthesized artificially, with the function of strengthening the stomach and helping digestion, pickled fish for more than ten years can also treat enteritis, stop diarrhea, especially after illness or postpartum loss of appetite, eating pickled fish can enhance appetite and invigorate the spirit.
It doesn't matter if it's delicious or not, what matters is the storage time, which can be stored for more than ten years without spoiling, and the fish marinated in wooden barrels can be stored for a longer time, up to twenty years, and is not easy to spoil, with a strong fragrance and a sweet taste.
Of course, this way of pickling fish requires a certain process, and now Su Yan can't get it, but referring to the way, Su Yan also made a kind of pickled fish that has been stored for more than three years and is still delicious.
The process is much more than the ordinary method of pickling fish, but it can't be stored for a long time, Xia Guoguang can't store grain, the grain is vegetarian, and some meat needs to be stored.
On weekdays, the cities of the Xia Kingdom add large-scale fishing of swimming fish as food, in addition to the eaten, the remaining fish are divided into two parts, one large and one small, the large ones are salted and stored by ordinary pickling methods, and the small ones are salted and stored by complex pickling methods.
In fact, the people of Xia have reduced the consumption of food in their daily lives, increased the consumption of fish and meat, the storage of grain is very simple, and the storage time is also very long, the matter of climate change is only closed for one year, and it will be released in the second year.
A light snow fell, and the winter of the second year of the summer calendar came, and within a few days, the water froze.
"Wang, this year, the water freezes just one day earlier." Deer Witch reported with some joy.
