Chapter 11 Performance
The villagers gathered happily, and everyone had joy on their faces, and went to this field to have a look, and to that field.
Seeing that every field was being watered, I was even more excited.
Zheng Lizheng was also very happy, and paid out of his own pocket to let a few nephews buy things and invite everyone to eat a big pot of rice, which attracted everyone's emotions even more.
The villagers took turns to thank Wei Renshi, and the enthusiasm made Wei Renshi a little overwhelmed. Thanks to Mrs. Tai's arrival later, everyone went over to congratulate Mrs. Tai and congratulate her on having such a powerful son, which made Wei Renshi reveal and breathe a sigh of relief.
Wei Renshi dodged to the top of the haystack on the side, but what he was thinking about was how to talk to Ah Niang and allow him to go to Luoyang City.
First, try to find a restaurant and restaurant in the back kitchen to find out what seasonings are available now, and second, according to what you see, go to the herb store and spice store to buy some raw materials.
The most basic green onions, ginger, garlic and the like, needless to say, have been used for a long time.
It seems that the commonly used peppercorns, cardamom, cinnamon, tangerine peel, as well as slightly more complex seasonings such as tempeh and soybean paste, should already be available.
But like star anise, cumin, angelica, and samanai...... There are also some folk seasoning methods that are not seasonings, but are specially suitable for a certain type of ingredients, such as relaxing wood in mutton soup, etc., which should not be available at this time. Some are still estimated to be in the Western Regions at the moment, and have not been introduced to the Central Plains, so this is fine.
And even if there is an existing seasoning, the effect of making it is different depending on the method of preparation and the proportion of mixing. The mixed seasoning also sells well.
As long as these things have raw materials, it is not difficult for Wei Renshi to do, and the cost is low, which is very suitable for doing now.
You can do less first, sell some locally in Fuchang first, take care of the food and clothing of the three people in the family first, and then try to make other livelihoods.
Wei Renshi thought about his plan in his heart, and unknowingly fell asleep on the haystack.
By the time I woke up, it was almost night.
"My son is also tired these days, and if he wants to sleep, he must go home and sleep, so as not to catch a cold." Mrs. Tai arranged his clothes for him and said.
"A-Niang, I want to go out to Luoyang in a while." Wei Renshi said to Mrs. Tai.
Mrs. Tai paused and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"I'm looking for some books, and I've already turned over the books at home several times." Wei Renshi made an excuse and said, "I heard Li He say that some scholars in Luoyang City will allow scholars to look through their collections. ”
"My son has never been far away......" Mrs. Tai was a little reluctant.
"Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles." Wei Renshi said: "The child wants to go out for a walk and see. Besides, Luoyang is not far away! ”
"But my son is not yet an adult." Mrs. Tai shook her head: "Even if you have this thought, it's better to go out in a few years." ”
Wei Renshi knew that he couldn't make sense of Mrs. Tai for a while, so he didn't say more, and he would find another opportunity in the future.
When he returned home, Wei Renshi was really tired, so he fell asleep and woke up early the next morning.
The peasants in the village all got up early, and when Wei Renshi went out, there were already many people outside, all standing on the ridges, pointing and looking at the fields that had been watered, and this interest had not faded.
All of a sudden, Wei Renshi became a celebrity in the village. In the past, when people in the same village saw Wei Renshi, they all called Wei Xiaolangjun, and they had a feeling of treating the neighbor's children.
This time it was different, Wei Renshi walked to the road, and the villagers' names became polite Wei Langjun.
After taking a turn in Changgu, Wei Renshi's heart was relieved.
The effect of watering the fields is quite good, and unless the Daoyuan River dries up in the future, Changgu probably no longer needs to rely on manpower to carry water to water the ground.
I was in a very good mood and hummed this little tune back home, and as soon as I sat down to eat at the door, Zheng Lizheng came to the door.
"Today, I plan to go to the county government to make a contribution to Wei Langjun." Zheng Li said to everyone in the house, then looked at Wei Renshi, and said, "By the way, I will go around the surrounding villages." ”
Mrs. Tai bowed slightly and thanked her, "Thank you Zheng Lizheng for your trouble." ”
Wei Renshi naturally understood what Li Zheng meant, and also nodded and said, "There is Uncle Zheng - doesn't Uncle Zheng still need to build some more ploughs?" I'll go with Uncle Zheng! ”
"It's good!" Zheng Lizheng nodded.
After a few bites of a bowl of corn, Wei Renshi said goodbye to Mrs. Tai, went back to the study to get the drawings that were divided into several components last time, and went out to jump on the donkey cart and go to Fuchang with Zheng Lizheng.
In the Tang Dynasty, four households were neighbors, five neighbors were guaranteed, 100 households were li, and five li were townships, and each li was filled with one person, and the household registration was investigated, the agriculture and mulberry were taxed, the illegal ones were inspected, and the taxes were urged. If anyone in this village improves agricultural tools, he must report to his superiors, which is the duty of Li Zheng.
However, Wei Renshi was very curious about Zheng Lizheng's friendship with the county order, so he asked on the way: "Uncle Zheng, how did you have a relationship with the county order?" ”
Zheng Lizheng replied: "In my early years, I was recruited into the army, and the county commander was still a shogunate at that time. I saved him once, and it was familiar. ”
Wei Renshi understood that this position was a staff member. It is estimated that the county commander was someone's staff in the army at that time, and Zheng Li was a small soldier in the army at that time. I saved him once in the military formation, and I got to know him.
Zheng Lizheng said again: "Later, I dispersed and came back to Changgu." A few years ago, he was transferred to Fuchang as the county honor, and a certain person entered the county government to do business, so that he recognized it. ”
"Is it useful to go up the credit sheet?" Wei Renshi asked again.
Zheng Lizheng paused and replied: "I don't know from above, at least there will be no less rewards in the county government." ”
When Wei Renshi heard this, it seemed that there was still a situation of being greedy for merit in his heart, and it was indeed the Tang Dynasty at sunset, if it was the early Tang Dynasty of the political Qing Dynasty, maybe this credit would be on the table all the way.
However, as long as there will be no shortage of rewards in the county government, then it will be fine. I don't want to mix it up just because of these little things, and the purpose of being able to give some assets is achieved.
Changgu is not far from the county seat of Fuchang, and the two of them will separate when they arrive in Fuchang, Zheng Li is about to go to the county office, and Wei Renshi is going to find the previous craftsmen with the drawings.
"Then so-and-so will go first, Wei Langjun will say a place, and so-and-so will go to meet Wei Langjun later." Zheng Lizheng asked.
"Then ...... The city gate is not far from where the bread is sold! Wei Renshi thought for a while and said, "The Hu Cake there is quite famous and delicious, I invite Uncle Zheng to eat the Hu Cake." ”
Zheng Lizheng laughed and said, "It's better to invite Wei Langjun to eat." Okay, Wei Langjun will go after finishing his work, and he will go after a certain time. ”
After that, he went to the county office.
Wei Renshi found the craftsmen last time, and he had the first experience, so he didn't have to explain it this time.
Wei Renshi quickly ordered the components of the ten ploughs, and came to collect them after about five days.
Seeing that the time was still early, I remembered that Li Rong had said before that the pharmacy with the most complete medicinal materials in Fuchang County was Jikangtang, so I found my way to Jikangtang.
