Chapter 66: Wild Boar
Wu Tingchang said happily: "Everyone has made money from you, and they have all gone to the county seat to buy wheat seeds, as long as God appreciates his face this year, our life will be much better." ”
It has been more than a month to settle in Dongsheng Town, the most common grain here is sorghum, at this time people call it red grain, it is people's staple food, the taste of eating in the mouth is really how rough and rough, almost no one eats it in modern times, and it is used as a household animal material.
Ji Rongjin feels rough when she thinks about it, for more than a month, she has eaten millet, the amount of millet is small, the taste is better than sorghum, it is very expensive, ordinary people rarely eat it once, there is no way, she can only eat the old book now.
Listening to Chief Wu Ting's talk about planting wheat, it was a joy, and he even reminded, "Buy some more rice seeds, and you can eat rice in autumn." ”
There are rice and noodles, isn't the small day of Wodong crooked!
"What?" Wu Tingchang didn't seem to understand what she said.
"Rice!" Tohoku rice is famous all over the world, they won't know it!
It wasn't until many days later that Ji Rongjin knew that there was no rice at all in the Yidong area at this time, even if there was rice, it was also upland rice, the local people called japonica, and the milled rice was called japonica rice, which could only be planted on dry land, the plant height was not more than one meter, the growth period was relatively short, and the yield was very low, but the japonica rice processed from this japonica was very delicious.
However, at this time, the common people could not even eat enough to eat, and they dared to be greedy for appetite, and this kind of low-yield upland rice was only willing to be planted by the landlord and the old rich family to eat it themselves.
Ji Rongjin learned that the main crop at this time was red grain (sorghum), followed by millet, if the year was good, and planting another piece of wheat would be the best situation.
"But I see that every household has a lot of soybeans, isn't it a staple food?"
"This one!" Wu Tingchang didn't care, "Every family will find a lot of wild land and empty forests to plant, in case of a catastrophe or the livestock they raise. ”
"Don't you use it to make tofu?"
"Alas!" Speaking of this, Chief Wu Tingchang was sad, "Our town once funded people to go to the south to learn how to make tofu, but I didn't expect Kuai San to learn the craft in the county and not come back, so that our town can't even eat tofu." ”
Only then did Ji Rongjin remember that the knowledge of the modern Internet was simply unattainable for the ancients.
"I'll do it." After thinking about it, she said.
"......" Wu Ting, who was drunk and smoky, seemed to be sober all of a sudden, "Really? ”
Ji Rongjin nodded, "However, there must be one thing, without it, I can't make it." ”
"What's that?" Wu Tingchang didn't drink any more wine, and his two little eyes were shining and staring at the little lady like a fairy.
"Brine points tofu, one thing drops one thing, haven't you heard of it?"
Wu Tingchang shook his head.
"Plaster will do the same."
The tofu at the brine point is relatively older than the gypsum point, which is what we usually call old tofu and tender tofu, but relatively speaking, the tofu from the brine point is more bean flavor and closer to the true taste.
"Gypsum is medicine, I know, can be used to make tofu?" Chief Wu felt incredible.
No, wait, gypsum seems to be raw and cooked, "To make tofu, you need to use cooked gypsum." ”
"It's good, it's cooked." Wu Tingchang didn't even drink the wine, and hurriedly got up, "I'll go to the county seat tomorrow morning to buy cooked gypsum." As he spoke, he went out and didn't forget to look back, "You can make us a pot when you buy it." ”
"......" Ji Rongjin blinked, she originally wanted to buy some beans to make dried tofu skin, this thing is cheap and affordable and easy to store, it is more suitable for the people here, why did she have tofu?
For her, tofu is too common, besides, it is not easy to store, let alone transport, not conducive to scale, not large-scale, how to make money?
Wheat to be planted, tofu is also arranged, Ji Rongjin did not refuse, she took the gold bracelet as a few acres of land to grow wheat and upland rice, and used tofu technology to exchange the family that helped her farm.
For this matter, Mai Xiaoji was still angry with her, and he wanted to plant the field, saying that he would save money.
How could Ji Rongjin let him plant, she trained him as a steward, and she was waiting for him to run errands and lead people to make a lot of money!
May has also passed in the midst of the hustle and bustle, and the wheat seedlings in the fields have sucked the rain and grown up.
The season of green and yellow is coming, people have eaten the last meal and the next meal, the mountain is lush and green at this time, and it is full of things, but there are not many people who dare to go up the mountain, there are many beasts inside, Ji Rongjin saw the wild boar running down the mountain with his own eyes, if it wasn't for the arrow in Mai Xiaoji's hand, a child would almost be bitten to death.
Ji Rongjin was only afraid at this time, it was a miracle that he climbed here from the snow-covered mountain in March and didn't encounter a beast.
After the wild boar that ran down the mountain met Mai Xiaoji, who had a bow and arrow, it was unlucky, and after being shot to death, Ji Rongjin asked Wu Tingchang to find a pig killer to kill him, half of which was distributed to the people in the town, and half was taken by her and Mai Xiaoji to the county seat to sell for money.
Linchun County is quite far away from Dongsheng Town, there are more than 100 miles, whether it is walking or ox carts, they have to start from dawn, until six or seven o'clock in the evening, they generally have to stay overnight outside the city, and they can only enter the city early the next morning.
Linchun County is relatively prosperous in Dongsheng Town, there are two main streets in vertical and horizontal, and there are several small streets, although the shops and houses on the street are gray and old, they are better than tall, and there is some bottom rhyme.
Ji Rongjin and his entourage brought half a wild boar over, of course, they came by the ox cart in the town, and as soon as they arrived in the county seat, Mr. Situ would set up a stall at the corner of the street, and even said that he would come to make money to support himself every once in a while.
This is the responsibility that an adult should have, Ji Rongjin had nothing to say for a while, and it wasn't until she took a few steps that she reacted, "I want to hire Mr. as Mr. Accounts?" She turned back and stood in front of his stall.
Situ sat on a small stool and raised his head: "Then Si will wait for Miss Ji's business to be completed." ”
"......" In the end, Ji Rongjin really couldn't open his mouth, okay, then wait for the business to be done.
After going around Linchun County and understanding the basic situation, Ji Rongjin paid five cents and set up a stall at the entrance of the vegetable market.
For modern people, wild pork must be snatched up, but for the ancients, domestic livestock were equally delicious, and even because of the smell of wild animals, they did not like to eat them.
This point, when the residents of Dongsheng Town muttered quietly, Ji Rongjin heard it, so when she came to the county seat by ox cart, she brought a set of guys, marinated the pig's face and pig tail at the street entrance, and used another pot to braise the hooves, the aroma was fluttering, attracting everyone to watch, three layers inside and three layers outside.
"Walk by, don't miss it, fellow villagers, take a look at it, and pay it off."
Everyone was drooled by the shouting of the little lady with yellow skin but a beautiful face.
"How do you sell it?" Someone can't help it.
Ji Rongjin looked at the middle-aged man in his eyes, "Whether it's braised pork or braised meat, it's all three cents and one tael, big brother, do you want to pay for two taels, if you have a little wine at home, it will taste even more beautiful." ”
