Chapter 235: Eating dumplings on the winter solstice

Eating dumplings on the winter solstice is king!

What's more, the autumn harvest is almost busy now, and now everyone is trying to increase their income, so many farmers have started their own side jobs, such as raising chickens and ducks, as well as raising pigs or going fishing and other things.

Either that, they cut wood and collect some firewood to make coal to sell. These are all ways for them to increase their income during the winter months.

But now that the flood is coming, people don't have enough to eat, and they want to eat something else in winter?

Are you kidding.

In this case, Li Hang directly told them the means of planting green vegetables, which was their living benefactor.

The winter solstice is over, and even many farmers plan to give the bean sprouts sent for the first time to Li Hang to taste the idea.

But now Li Hang's home is indeed quite lively, whether it is the celebration of the winter solstice, or making dumplings on the winter solstice at this time, it makes the whole family in full swing.

"Master! What are dumplings? "Hao Jun, the little fat man, has long been greedy on the sidelines.

"Dumplings are also called Jiaozi, take the meaning of its more age Jiaozi, it is eaten during the New Year, and today is the winter solstice, you have to eat dumplings!" Li Hang excitedly let a group of boys meet on the side.

He was directing Wang Dali to chop pork with the two big guys.

"First soak the green onion and ginger in water, then live with the pork filling, and then chop the leeks for me to live, and then put salt to taste! Give me a good life! Li Hang said as he picked up a made rolling pin on the side.

"This dough rolling is skillful. Now I'll teach you! It takes a long time to roll out a round and thick dumpling wrapper! Li Hang said with a smile while rolling noodles.

This dumpling wrapper is actually the key, it is relatively easy to make dumplings and dumplings, after all, the other steps of dumplings and buns are almost the same.

Even dumpling fillings and bun fillings are similar!

However, the skin of these two things is different, and the wrapping method is completely different.

"After wrapping the buns, you should be able to learn it quickly!" Li Hang didn't care that they would learn to do it themselves in the future, which was nothing to him in the first place.

"Master, can we finish eating so much?" Hao Jun looked at Li Hang with some confusion.

Pointing outside, Li Hang pouted outward. "Your sister is kind, when we go on the road, whoever comes can eat a bowl of hot dumplings, and it will be regarded as a celebration."

"Wow!" The little fat man looked excited.

This dumpling must be delicious, so when it is cooked on the street, this is to do a good deed! And these people on the dock are estimated to not be able to eat a bite of meat for ten days and half a month, and this dumpling is all meat when this thin layer of skin is peeled open!

This is also something that Li Hang has no way to do.

Now this soap business alone has to kill pigs every day, and the daily meat alone is a rather terrible number, hundreds of catties of pork have to be distributed to those nearby villages, and not many people can afford it.

So a large part of it is made into canned food.

The rest can only rely on Li Hang to eat.

If you don't eat it, you can only wait for it to get rancid.

It's not like that kind of era, salt is government-run, and it's really expensive.

It's not that there is a shortage of salt, but that the government wants to use this means to collect taxes, and to put it bluntly, it's scraping money.

If it is said that it is not a good practice to prevent the rotting and deterioration of the meat, and it is obviously not a good practice to put all this meat in cans, the simplest way is actually that the working people of ancient China had several methods.

One is smoked, which is made into bacon or bacon, and the other is salted to make bacon or ham.

This method is very simple and can also be very convenient for preserving meat.

And now under the eaves and kitchen of Li Hang's house, almost all of them are meat.

The old house has been converted into a full-fledged kitchen that serves not only breakfast but also meat from the neighborhood.

It's very troublesome. And this time, Li Hang also knew that if he needed to digest the meat, he would need more pork to make canned food, or more salt.

It's too expensive to make wax, and you just need to make more bacon in the winter.

When the time comes, this kind of bacon and bacon will be sold everywhere, and even directly to the border gates.

And all this is as long as that small fishing village is built.

As for now......

It's better to waste it and give it away than to stink there.

The winter solstice is a festival, and Li Hang doesn't plan to send things everywhere as a habit to fix it, if he really has to do it every day in the future, then he can't bear it.

But on the other hand, I can be considered to be relaxed now.

In the future, it is now dumplings, and it is estimated that some condolences and other things will be prepared on the winter solstice in the future.

Zhou Yurong also prepared a lot of things.

"Today is Xiao Xin's birthday, so let's use this excuse to distribute dumplings outside here, is my husband going to do anything?"

"I will find the old people who have no children in the border army in a while. The old men, whose sons and daughters had died in battle, found them all and asked them if they had enough food, mainly to take care of them, as well as the crippled border soldiers. If their hands are still in good condition, I think I can arrange some work for them in the future, so that they can also contribute in some workshops or here. "The crippled soldiers in these years are not well treated.

Some of the injuries died, and those who lacked arms and legs survived a minority.

After all, there is no mature medical system, and these people can survive, but they are already dead.

Most of these people are broken hands, or blind in one eye.

Most of these people have lost part of their labor force, or their lives are not very convenient.

Li Hang thought of a way for this kind of person, if he had a broken hand, he arranged for them to tread a water wheel, and if it was one of those who had broken his foot, he would teach them to benefit, and arrange some places for them to make pasta here.

It's not very difficult, as long as it's not all legs, it's easy to be competent.

In this way, on the one hand, they have a job, and on the other hand, such an arrangement can also win the hearts of the soldiers of the border army.

At least the families of the other border soldiers and those who retired from the border army will definitely have a good feeling.

And in this case, most people will pay tribute to such soldiers.

In Beiping County, if you bring him a bowl of water to drink, they will accept it, and it is estimated that if you give them food, they will get angry.

Li Hang didn't pity them, but felt that these soldiers who had lost their labor force were also a good source.

In the future, they can also be allowed to teach in their own academies, teach some self-defense skills and some means of killing the enemy, and even set up military science content.

Not only can I use this academy to popularize knowledge, but I can also cultivate some talents in a targeted manner.
