Chapter 209: Bacon
"There are actually a lot of good things in the village, and if you can quickly communicate with the city, you will definitely be a little richer. It's just that from your village to Shizhou, we must pass through the Sanqing Mountain that we climbed when we came. Yan Zenyi patiently explained, not only for the heart of the lady of Kuanlin, but also for the future to dig a tunnel, so that the village can also produce some labor, "And the tunnel, is to rely on the bottom of the mountain and dig, dig the mountain, from Shizhou to the village in the future, there is no need to go over the mountains and mountains." ”
"Digging mountains? How much time and manpower does it take? Lin Niangzi was a little surprised, but she didn't doubt the feasibility of this matter at all.
Just because the person who said this was Yan Zenyi, although Yan Zenyi was young, her vision was a few degrees higher than herself, which inexplicably convinced her.
"The more people are the most powerful, everyone has heard the story of Yugong moving mountains, as long as we have more people, just three clear mountains can be completed in three or five months." Yan Zenyi had already looked at the map of Shizhou and calculated, not only Sanqing Mountain, but even the place leading to Lincheng, she would also open a faster and more convenient road.
"But this ...... It costs a lot of silver, right? Lin Niangzi thinks what she said makes sense, but doesn't it cost money to invite someone?
"Ahem......" Yan Zenyi lowered her head slightly, she is indeed about to run a financial deficit, but this tunnel must be dug! I'll figure out how to deal with the silver. ”
Isn't it possible to learn from modern highway toll booths? Each passing carriage charges a certain amount of tax and is always able to fill in the hole.
The two discussed all the way, and soon arrived at the nursing home between the two villages.
The nursing home is very large, in the canyon between the two peaks of Sanqing Mountain, surrounded by mountains and forests, and it is very cool in summer. Due to geographical reasons, the winter of this stone island is particularly short and not very cold, so this place is indeed suitable for those old and weak soldiers to live.
Because it is located in the canyon, there is no fence to enclose it, but there is still a guard box at the mouth of the valley, which is the gate of the nursing home. The houses in the canyon were built in rows according to the description of Yan Zenyi, and the old, weak, sick and disabled lived in this row of houses, while those who were responsible for taking care of them lived in a small courtyard of three or five people, living on a slightly higher hillside.
Because many of the people who come here to take care of them are widows with half-grown children, it is easier to take care of their families and live more comfortably in their own courtyards. And those resident doctors also have their own courtyards, where they can grow some commonly used herbs, and have a separate space to study how to deal with those stubborn diseases.
As soon as Yan Zenyi entered, he saw many old people, sitting in wheelchairs, basking in the sun, feeding pheasants, or helping those widows watch their children. There are also some people who are old but in good health, and they are teaching their children to zama steps.
At first glance, it really doesn't look like a nursing home, and if it weren't for some women wearing snow-white masks shuttling through it, it would look like a large family of individuals.
This is exactly what Yan Zenyi wants to see, as early as after she knew that the nursing home had been built, she asked the caravan to bring mahjong, poker and chessboard and the like, but she didn't expect that the pastime that these old people like is not entertainment, but teasing children to raise poultry in captivity.
Yan Zenyi asked in detail about the number of doctors, the widows who had learned to nurse, and the elderly people who were taken care of, and everything was developing according to her expectations, which really made her happy.
Yan Chanyi announced three things in front of the widow's village in the nursing home, because there are actually many children in the nursing home. said that it is a child, but in fact, it is not a child in this era, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he is already a boy and girl who can be in charge of the family.
There are many suspicious people, but none of them directly come forward to recommend themselves.
Yan Zenyi was a little disappointed, but she didn't say anything, and followed Lin Niangzi back to the widow's village in a leisurely manner.
When she returned to Lin Niangzi's village house, Fenghua and Fengyue were not idle, Fengyue was just collecting suggestions for village names and registering candidates who wanted to be soldiers, but they were just recorded, and it was quite easy. But Fenghua is responsible for collecting everyone's ideas and plans for starting a business, and when he saw Yan Zenyi, he was already loveless.
Yan Zenyi smiled, in modern times, those who want to start a business are making exquisite PPT to find venture capital investment, and here, it has become Fenghua to listen to the whimsy of the villagers, which is also quite interesting.
Yan Zenyi saw everyone watching her come in, and suddenly fell silent, and she was inexplicably a little embarrassed. He could only pick up the pile of papers that Fenghua had written down like a thief, and went into the back room in a gloomy manner.
Yan Zenyi drank tea while looking at the paper in his hand, and couldn't help laughing.
No wonder Fenghua will have a loveless face, some villagers think that their cows can understand their own speech, and want to go to the city to open a juggling class. Some villagers feel that their ancestors have inherited good looks and are very suitable for opening a small restaurant. Some villagers think that their hens can lay eggs four times a day, and they want to go to the city to sell eggs professionally.
Yan Zen clothes hastily flipped over, and finally there are still things to see, for example, the ancestral craft of making bacon, which is different from ordinary people's heat, and the smoking method is also different, so the taste of the bacon is much stronger.
Yan Chanyi looked at what Fenghua wrote, and he was a little lazy, so he quickly called Lin Niangzi to come in and ask.
Lin Niangzi quickly brought people and bacon over, that person was not as Yan Zenyi imagined, and she couldn't tell what she thought, but anyway, it must be the opposite of the thin young man in front of her.
"The county lord is satisfied with me...... My proposal? The young man was a little restrained, and he didn't dare to look up at Yan Zen clothes, but he was very simple, and he didn't know how to beat around the bush, and he didn't know how to distinguish what the so-called dignity and inferiority were, so he directly asked the question he wanted to ask.
"Do you know how to cook?" The young man had some innate bacon on his body, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he smelled Yan Zenyi.
"Yes!" The boy replied categorically, but still kept his head down.
"Did you bring bacon? If you don't bring it, go back and get some, I will rely on you for dinner today, Guo Xin! Yan Zenyi glanced at the name of the young man recorded on the paper again, and then matched the name with the person.
"If so...... If I don't get elected, will the county lord pay for the meal? The boy hesitated, but finally spoke.
"What stupid thing did Brother Xin say?" Lin Niangzi couldn't help but come up and interrupt the young man, although it seemed to give Yan Zenyi a long face, but her tone was obviously still protecting the young man, "The county lord can still miss your little bit of silver?" ”
Yan Chanyi smiled, but still replied very interestingly, "Whether I take you to Shizhou in the end or not, your silver is indispensable to you." ”
The young man finally raised his head, his face was full of pure and clean smiles, and he arched his hand, "Lord Xie, I'll go and prepare!" ”
Yan Zenyi walked out of the house, and saw that Fengyue was almost busy, so he took Fengyue to wander around the small hillside near the village for a while. This turn, the harvest is really not small, she actually saw the peppercorns that she had never seen in the capital before!
Although she is not from Sichuan, she still has some hobbies for spicy. In the capital, she noticed that although there were many dishes in Liuxiang Building, there was no one that had anything to do with hemp.
Now she looked at the handful of wild peppercorns, and her brain automatically made up the taste of mapo tofu in her brain, and the saliva secretion was a little uncontrollable. She directly pulled out a cluster of plants, ready to take Lin Niangzi to recognize this plant, and plant it for her on a small scale when the time comes.
Hemp may not be accepted by everyone, but as long as you try it, there will always be some interest. This tuft of plucking, she can just try to make a spicy pot to eat.
God knows how much she missed hot pot during the few months she was here. Even if it hasn't been winter yet, as a die-hard fan of the bottom of the river, she definitely misses the hot pot and misses it tightly.
Fengyue had already gone deeper into the forest, and Yan Zenyi wanted to follow her, but the village house of Lin Niangzi under the hillside was already full of smoke, and she vaguely smelled the fragrance, and she only felt hungry.
The lunch was made by herself, and it was obvious that Weixianchen was eating it with such joy, so she humbly refused to dare to eat more. The carriage was bumpy, and she was already a little hungry, and now she smelled the smell of the rice, she had completely forgotten Fengyue, and ran down the hill with a roar.
"Miss......" Fenghua saw Yan Zen Yi appear, and handed over a pile of rice paper with some exhaustion, "There are a total of one hundred and sixteen people who have come to sign up, and about sixty-five of them are purely here to find me nonsense." ”
Yan Zenyi smiled, soothingly hugged Fenghua's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go for a good meal at night!" ”
Fenghua had already smelled the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, so he half-pushed and half-pushed, and followed Yan Zenyi to Lin Niangzi's hall.
The young man named Guo Xin had already put five dishes and one soup on the table.
Yan Zenyi forcibly endured his saliva and stepped forward to watch, smoked pork, smoked chicken, and two kinds of vegetables that are only available here in Shizhou, and wild mushrooms that I don't know where to pick. Every dish was not pretty, but as soon as she got closer to the tangy aroma, she only wanted to move her chopsticks quickly.
"Fenghua, take a small bowl and leave some vegetables for Fengyue." Yan Chanyi glanced at the people in the hall, Guo Xin was looking at him with blank eyes, but the owner of the hall, Lin Niangzi, was nowhere to be found. "Guo Xin, where is Mrs. Lin?"
She ...... She went to Aunt Zhang's house next door for dinner, saying that she didn't disturb the county lord's Yaxing. Guo Xin hesitated, but still told the truth.
Yan Zenyi was silent, knowing that Lin Niangzi had her own concept of dignity and inferiority in her heart, which she could not easily break, so she was not reluctant, and said to Guo Xin, "Then you sit down and eat together, right?" ”
Guo Xinleng was stunned, although he was a person who was good at bacon, but in fact, this table was already the last meat left in his family. He wants to stay and eat, and he can stay and see if the county lord is satisfied with his craftsmanship, but he has a widowed mother at home, and he has to go back to take care of it.
