Chapter 294: Calculation
Zhu Junyang endured the faint pain on his arm, and said lightly: "As far as her weight is not three taels of meat, she is not as heavy as a chick, so she can't be called a weight!" ”
"Don't look at me as skinny, my bones are full of meat, okay?" Yu Xiaocao is most annoyed by others saying that she is thin, she obviously eats a lot at every meal, which is better than Xiaolian's appetite, but she always does not grow meat. However, she thought that she was quite well-proportioned, and she was not the skinny and thin. As long as you're healthy, it's better to be thin than fat, right? At least you don't have to think about losing weight.
Yu Xiaocao touched the arms of the little county king, his eyes widened, and he said fiercely: "No matter how I say it, I am half a doctor, and you have to apply half a month of ointment on your arm." Don't talk! If you don't want to practice martial arts in the future and don't want to hold a bow, don't apply it. ”
Zhu Junyang felt that his arm was not as serious as Yu Xiaocao said, but when he heard that if there was something, he would not be able to practice martial arts or draw a bow in the future, so he immediately closed his mouth cooperatively. Isn't it just a medicated mud? If it doesn't hurt or itch, it just takes a little more effort.
Although Zhu Junfan was also worried about the little cousin's arm, he saw that the beast-like little cousin was more obedient than a cat under the hands of the little girl, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's really a thing to a thing!
The purpose of this trip is to hunt wild boars, and since the wild boars have been hunted, let's go down the mountain! The youngest son of the Yu family said that the craftsmanship of this Yu Xiaocao is more authentic than that of Zhenyulou, and I don't know when I can eat authentic roast chicken and roast duck!
The Zhu Junfan brothers walked in front, and Yu Hai took his daughter's little hand and followed closely. The scene where the wild boar rushed towards his daughter just now frightened Yu Hai, and he couldn't wait to replace him. But he was a little far away, and he couldn't run as fast as a wild boar, so he could only stare at him in a hurry. Fortunately, the prince of the county was by his daughter's side and saved her life. Yu Hai secretly swore in his heart that he would never bring his daughter to the mountains to hunt in the future.
The guards carried the wild boar and carried the piglets at the end. The guard, who narrowly escaped punishment, loyally followed the emperor's side. He occasionally looked at Yu Xiaocao's gaze, with mixed emotions of gratitude and shame.
When the group came down from the mountain, they happened to meet the Yu family's neighbor Mao. Her eyes widened and she had an incredulous expression: "Oh my God! You've hit two big wild boars, yo yo yo! And three little wild boar cubs! Tsk, it's really a strong general, and there are no weak soldiers under it, and the subordinates of the prince are really powerful. ”
Yu Xiaocao greeted Mao warmly: "Aunt Qian, you are wrong!" The wild boars were all shot to death by the prince! Lord Shizi is amazing, a hundred steps through Yang, one arrow at a time! ”
Mao hurriedly laughed and flattered: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the prince of the world, amazing, amazing!" ”
Zhu Junfan smiled at her and walked past her. Mao muttered in a low voice: "My God, are all the nobles in Beijing so good-looking?" It's like a fairy in the sky, and I laugh so hard that my liver flutters. ”
Although her voice was small, except for Yu Xiaocao's father and daughter, the people in the group were all martial arts practitioners, and they were deaf and clear-sighted, and they listened to it. The corners of Zhu Junfan's mouth twitched, and he took a few steps forward, pretending not to hear. With a smile in his eyes, Su Ran couldn't help but glance at Long Live Lord.
"Look at what!! The nobles in Beijing also include you! "Zhu Junfan and this teenage partner have always been happy to quarrel.
Su Ran chuckled a few times and said seriously: "That woman is right, master, you are very good-looking." That's a real compliment! ”
Zhu Junfan is still quite satisfied with the appearance of a beautiful man in this life, if he wants to live in his previous life, many scouts will chase him. Being an actor is much more fun than being an emperor. Alas, it was born at the wrong time!
Back at Yu's house, it was quite laborious to clean up the two wild boars. Fortunately, Lao Yutou was a good hand at killing pigs when he was young, so he went to Li Dazhu to borrow a pig-killing knife and neatly cleaned up the wild boars.
The two wild boars looked thin, and they had to add up to five or six hundred catties. Now that the weather is hot, meat is not easy to preserve. Fortunately, the Yu family has an ice cellar, and the wild boar meat that has been packed up is divided into pieces and put in the ice cellar to freeze.
Zhu Junfan took advantage of the Yu family to clean up the pig's head and pig offal, and followed him to the ice cellar to take a look. Xiao Shi enthusiastically introduced him to the origin of his ice cellar, and also showed him the place where the second sister made ice.
Saltpeter ice, Zhu Junfan had heard a little in his previous life, but the specific ratio was not clear at all. He couldn't help but admire this fellow countryman. Zhu Junfan made a piece of ice with great interest, transported it into the ice cellar, and decided to ask about the method of making ice and teach it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. In the future, if you don't have enough ice reserves, you can make your own!
At noon, it was a whole pig feast. There are tender and smooth pork blood soup, refreshing and fragrant fried sausages, rich and mellow braised large intestines, fragrant stewed pork belly, crispy braised pork tongue, and braised pork knuckles with a chewy and dense taste...... More than a dozen dishes, most of which are made of pig water and some corners, but they taste more evocative than pork.
Su Ran said jokingly while gnawing on the pig's trotters: "Our master sent two wild boars to your family, Xiaocao, and you will invite our master to eat these things that can't be put on the table?" ”
"There is no distinction between high and low ingredients, only good or bad taste! Why can't these dishes be on the table? The braised pig's head and pig ears in the treasure house are sold very hot! Mr. Su, when you say this, please don't gnaw so happily, okay? Yu Xiaocao likes to gnaw the pig's tail the most, she stews the pig's tail with the pig's arch mouth, the taste is dense but not tired, she can gnaw the two pig's tails alone.
But Zhu Junfan didn't let her get her wish, and when he saw that she was gnawing with relish, he picked up another pig's tail and nibbled on it like her. As soon as he nibbled down, his eyes lit up. It doesn't matter if he is sven or not, the food will be gnawed before he will talk about it. A pig's tail was quickly gnawed to the bone, and he extended his chopsticks to the pig's arch mouth......
Zhu Junyang seems to like to eat fried noodles and sausages the most. Powdered sausage is a part of the connection between the small intestine and the large intestine of pigs, the amount is not much, it tastes crispy and delicious, and there are more nutrients. A plate of fried sausages was almost wrapped by him.
The guards' table was even more heroic. These old men are all meatless, and the whole pig feast is right for their appetite. Yu Xiaocao's craftsmanship made them eat to the fullest, and a table of more than ten or twenty dishes was swept away by them. Although my stomach is full, I still can't get enough. The guards were looking forward to their master's stay in Dongshan Village for a few more days. In this way, you can eat delicious food every day.
But the emperor is the emperor after all, and he has every opportunity. It's good to be able to sneak out and walk around. Zhu Junfan made a private visit to Tanggu Town for a few days, and when he saw that the disaster relief work had been carried out in a timely manner and that there was no famine as he feared, he reluctantly left. Alas! The profession of emperor is not something that ordinary people can do. Go back, on the table in the imperial study, there must be a mountain of folds waiting for him to review!
Zhu Junyang stayed, because his arm had to be covered with medicine mud for half a month! In fact, this time the force did not hurt his arm too much, but Yu Xiaocao had to let him apply enough days for the sake of prudence.
In order to prevent the little county king from going back and forth between the town and the village, Yu Xiaocao even contributed the house where his godfather lived halfway up the mountain. This house was originally the house of the Zhao family, and after the Zhao family was crowned a general and returned to Beijing, the house town lived here. After Mrs. Fang arrived, she carefully cleaned up, and the outside of the house looked simple and simple, but the inside was very warm.
The little king stayed in the guest room of the house. Manager Liu transferred some maids from the other courtyard in the town. Although his master doesn't let people serve him closely, there must be chores around him. You can't let him be the manager, and you have to sweep the floor and boil water to wipe the table, right?
In the blink of an eye, the fleet carrying grain has been gone for more than a month. The food for disaster relief is enough for the people to eat for two months at most. In other words, if the grain at the parity price cannot be brought back after two months, the people will starve.
Even if they received relief food, the villagers of Dongshan Village had to eat carefully, two meals a day, and when they had to work during the day, they used coarse grains mixed with bran to paste cakes to satisfy their stomachs, and at night they drank thin food, and they endured it in bed.
Because of locust plagues and droughts, the prices of goods in Fucheng have also increased more than ten times. Yu Bo's academy had already put a price, and Yu Bo had been in Fucheng for a few days, and the silver in his hand was swishing out, and the money and food at home could not be supplied, so he had to go home with the money.
His daughter-in-law Zhao is not well off in her mother's house. In a disaster year, when there is no food, who has spare money to study? The primary school opened by Zhao's father, Zhao Xiucai, had long been closed, and the family had no land or food, so they lived by buying high-priced grain, and soon the family's old capital was almost eaten up.
Zhao's mother gave her daughter an idea: "Isn't your brother-in-law a capable person?" Growing melons and vegetables made a lot of money, and their family must have food. I see that you still take Doudou to Dongshan Village. Your mother-in-law is always stammering you, can you be reluctant to give you good things? ”
"Mother, are you driving me away?" Zhao is the only daughter of Zhao Xiucai, and the couple have loved her since she was a child. She never expected that her mother would drive her back to Dongshan Village.
Xiucai Lady sighed and said, "It's not that my mother is ruthless to drive you out, you also saw it, our family will not be able to open the pot!" The price of this grain is one price a day, and I don't know when it will be. Mother, there's no way around it! ”
Zhao knew that what his mother said was true, so he slowly turned red at the corners of his eyes, and said, "Mother, the second uncle you said has already gone out of the house separately." My mother-in-law never knew how to leave a line in her work, and when it was most difficult for others, she let her second uncle's family go out of the house. Think about it, when people are developed, can they still care about their life and death? ”
"But filial piety is greater than heaven! Although your mother-in-law is not your mother-in-law's second brother, her father is always your father, right? He can't eat and drink spicy food by himself, so that his father can't even eat enough, right? You didn't go out of the house, so naturally you have to eat in one pot. With his old surplus to eat, can he miss a bite of yours? "Xiucai lady is the most shrewd and very good at calculating.
