Lu lightly steamed a half-sized white radish, and for today's lunch, I will have this plate of fried water spinach and white radish dipped in soy sauce, and then two big white steamed buns, which are delicious to eat.

The main thing is that there are a lot of ingredients.

She missed white rice again, the climate in the north was not suitable for growing rice, and the rice seeds brought back by Lu Qing from the south were quite drought-resistant, and she didn't know if they could grow them.

After going out and seeing the situation in the upper country, Lu Qingqing felt a sense of urgency in his heart, it was already a civilized society, and the northern land had just broken away from the primitive society, and there were still many people who could not afford to wear clothes and could not eat enough, and the gap was more than 108,000 miles.

Rich and strong, military training and weapon manufacturing have been going on, and this matter is not in a hurry, she now wants to raise the living standards of the people in the north by a few notches.

She chose a mountain with plenty of springs, there are many natural reservoirs on the top of this mountain, and there are abundant vegetation to store water, which can store a lot of water in the rainy season, and at other times of the year, this water flows down the cracks of the mountain, forming a clear mountain spring, as long as there is no major drought throughout the year, the water will not be cut off.

Such mountains are rare in the Northlands.

She found a relatively flat and open place with a certain slope at the foot of the mountain, and asked people to dig up the trees, remove the big and small stones, and then put a thick fertilizer down, prepare the land, turn the ground, and make it for a long time, and then divide the land into a small rectangular area, and use it to store water and waterproof all around, creating a kind of southern paddy field environment.

When everything is done, the inlet of the highest field is opened, and the spring water flows into the field with a clatter, and after the first field, it flows down the slope to the field below.

Yes, this model is a bit similar to paddy fields.

However, it is autumn now, and it is no longer suitable for sowing, and Lu Qingqing is also to prevent the land from freezing in winter, and it is not suitable to start construction at that time, and if the land starts again, it will miss the sowing next spring.

In addition to the original wheat, soybeans, and sweet potatoes, this time she mainly brought back rice and potatoes from Shangguo, corn has not yet been discovered, which makes her very regretful, after all, she likes corn very much.

The land is barren and there is too little fertilizer, and the yield in the land is not high, but so many varieties and so many fields are planted, and there is no need to worry about filling the stomach, but Lu Qing walked down from city to city this time, and also found one thing, there are too few aquatic products on this land.

There are few water veins in this land, except for the big lake next to the Qingsi City, there are almost no large lakes, and there are even fewer rivers on a large scale, but there are many saline-alkali lands and grasslands, and then to the north and northwest, there are still large areas of Gobi desert and desert.

It's no wonder that Shangguo doesn't look down on this place, the natural environment here determines her barrenness, if it weren't for Lu Qingqing's hard work to dig crops and get species from outside, this place would be difficult to develop.

So this situation decided that except for Qingsicheng, it was difficult to eat what was in the water in other places, unless you ran to the river that flowed into Qinghu to fish.

Oh, there is also an artificial lake in Qinglu City, but it is not easy to start aquaculture, and most of the fish and shrimp produced in it go into the stomachs of the big white eagles, after all, they were made for them in the first place, and people can eat less.

If she can start to do it on a large scale, everyone will have a steady stream of fish and shrimp to eat in the future, and the nutrition will be balanced, but before that, she first discovered another thing.

There is a tidal flat near Qingsi City, and the small crabs in it are almost overflowing. These small crabs have blue-black shells, the small ones are only the size of a coin, the big ones are the size of a fist, they like to spit bubbles with a puff, no matter how big or small, the tongs are very powerful, there is a wheat field outside the Qingsi City, when the wheat is still green this summer, it has been plagued again, and the trees have been gnawed to pieces. People are guarding against large, threatening beasts, and no one knows how these little things took over the wheat fields overnight.

After Lu Qing learned about this, the first thing he did was to grab this thing and cook it, it didn't taste good, it was a little fishy, but it was edible, and some of the fat ones were full of white flesh and pale yellow paste, which was very nutritious at first glance.

Lu thought about it lightly, it will take a long time for fish and shrimp farming to bear fruit, and it may not be possible to do it, and since this thing is ready-made, let's raise crab roe first.

So the tidal flat was fenced off as a semi-artificial and semi-wild crab farm, and the small crabs were mashed and mixed with wild vegetables and wheat bran to raise pigs and chickens, and the big ones were used for people to eat.

Naturally, it doesn't taste good to eat like this, so Lu lightly decided to make a crab sauce.

The ingredients for making crab sauce are salt, chili powder, in order to suppress this fishy smell, and also to enhance the taste, chili powder is necessary, as well as sugar, and then wine.

Of course, this kind of wine is not the fruit wine that was used to deal with casually, but the wine made from wheat, and in three or four years, and with Lu Qing's guidance, it is enough for the people of the north to make wine and vinegar of high quality from wheat.

The small crabs used to make crab sauce can't be too small, too small to have no meat, it takes a lot of work to wash, it can't be too big, and the final one is not delicious, and the big crabs can actually be cooked directly, and the taste is still okay if it is done well.

The small crab is washed and cleaned first, and the small crab legs are gone, and the big tongs can be kept, and then they are mashed, Lu Qingqing's favorite method is just to mash, and the shell is still carried, and the crab sauce that comes out of this way tastes more fragrant, of course, you can also use a grinding disc to grind it into a smooth crab paste, depending on personal taste.

After mashing, the small crabs are added to the appeal ingredients.

After that, there are different methods, either directly put it in an airtight container and wait for it to ferment, or it is fried and cooked in a pot, and the crab sauce is completely different.

The first batch was boiled so that it could be eaten immediately, and the spicy, fresh and fragrant crab sauce was unanimously appreciated by everyone, but I didn't expect that it would be such a delicious thing that seemed to be full of shells and fishy once it was processed.

Lu gently had people produce in large quantities, and many of them were packed in special pottery jars and jars that could be sealed, and sent to various cities, and soon such novel food was on the tables of many people, winning the love of many people.

At the same time, the climate is slowly entering the winter, the original winter in the north is still difficult, not to say the temperature, but the single food, but this winter because of the emergency sowing and harvest of a new variety of vegetables, the dishes on people's tables are rich.
