The next day, officials and the helpers who were in charge of delivering the grass arrived early in the morning.

Two people in the village are also there, they are not in a good state, it is estimated that yesterday passed, and they drank too much in the evening.

"Eleven, twelve, what's wrong with you two?"

The lieutenant asked the two people of the same generation with concern, the two were brothers, and they were actually twins.

There are too few people who have successfully given birth to twins at this age, basically two at a time, both hanging, adults and children.

"I didn't live in the fourth vacant house at the entrance of the village." Old Eleven squinted his eyes and said.

"No, the fourth vacant house is an empty house." Old Twelve yawned.

Zhu Wentian listened, turned around and left, and after a long time, the little girl came, bringing two bowls of herbal tea, with a lot of rock sugar added to them.

"Drink! Go to bed after drinking. The chief helped serve the bowl and poured it into two people.

The two of them drank it all and felt much more comfortable.

He was helped away by the villagers and went to sleep in a room in the shade, where someone was watching.

I drank too much, but it seems to be fine, I shouldn't have vomited, because I didn't eat anything.

Zhu Wentian taught, don't eat vegetables, the more you eat, the more drunk you become, don't believe what to eat to cushion your stomach, nonsense.

What they said relieved the lieutenant, and they didn't forget to protect Hanhan after drinking like this.

The fourth house in the village was indeed vacant, and the house was dilapidated and overgrown with weeds.

It's not that the person died, but the original family in that position changed places.

The terrain is low, and it will soak when it rains heavily. As soon as the village discusses, let's change it! Start a new house.

So the house was vacant, including the courtyard, like a haunted house.

In order to protect the village guards, when the villagers wanted to find out who was behind them, they said that the fourth empty house was empty.

Say it to yourself dozens of times before going to bed at night, and talk while brushing your teeth when you get up in the morning.

After a long time, they all formed a subconscious, that is, they were drunk to death, and the last sentence before death was the fourth empty house at the entrance of the village.

It's countless times more powerful than the one who 'won't say anything if you kill me'.

The whole village has raised Hanhan, a village keeper, for more than ten years, and once someone touches it, the subconscious will play a role.

Everyone first saw off at the dock, and the boat left with a pedal cotton machine and 1,100 catties of stone soda.

The silver has been delivered, a thousand taels, and still no copper coins have been given.

The lieutenant took people to see the pedal cotton machine, a large box with shafts and pulleys.

Half of the shed is supported in front to avoid cotton wool flying, and those who step on it wear masks and cloth wrapping their heads.

With the stepping movement, the cotton pops out.

Its efficiency is more than dozens of times higher than that of ordinary bow bullets, and the officials watching are simply speechless.

How the hell did this thing come about? Could it be that the master belongs to the Mo family?

Zhu Wentian stood beside the lieutenant chief, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and he had increased some of his productivity.

When you think of productivity, it is natural to think of the economy, and then money.

He frowned slightly, there are still five years left in the treasure banknote, four and a half years to be exact, and it began in early March of the eighth year of Hongwu.

Is it to stop the issuance of treasure money, or to find a way to help stabilize the value of treasure money? How many aspects do you need to start with?

Zhu Wentian was in a daze, wondering which one was better.

Whether it is the issuance of treasure banknotes or the depreciation of the banknotes, there are a series of reasons and problems involved.

The original money of the Ming Dynasty was taken away by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, so Lao Zhu always wanted to fight over and grab it back.

Lao Zhu was reluctant to mine copper ore to make copper coins, and even less silver.

Japan has a lot of silver and copper, and the Japanese have always made trouble in the coastal areas, and the Ming people along the coast followed the chaos.

Zhejiang, Fujian and other coastal areas were not Lao Zhu's territory at first, and they were later defeated.

Lao Zhu also migrated from the coastal areas to the interior to reduce the local population and avoid rebellion.

"Hanhan, it's time to eat." While Zhu Wentian was thinking about things, the voice of the chief came.

Zhu Wentian raised his head and smiled: "Rice, hungry, hey, hey!" ”

The officials looked at it and shook their heads secretly, this fool was in Xiaqiu Village, and he would have been starved to death in another place.

The staple food for breakfast is potstickers, rice porridge, smoked fish, small pickles, and one tea egg per person.

The village has been eating fish for many days in a row, but there is no way, there are many fish.

The boat had already begun to go out in the middle of the night to get out of the net farther away.

Zhao Li helped find four people and replaced them every ten years.

They all have good character, and at the same time, life at home is difficult, there are many children, and there are family members who are sick.

Zhu Wentian still eats quickly, and when he is full, he looks for his friends to take classes.

When he left, Li Zhixian said to the lieutenant chief: "Yichang, your village is getting better and better, and when people from outside come to the village for a long time, don't be optimistic about Hanhan, he is stupid and easy to be deceived." ”

Lieutenant: "......"

"Oh! Oh! Thank you Zhixian, we always tell Hanhan on weekdays, don't talk to outsiders. ”

Li Chang said in obedience, his eyes full of sincerity.

Li Zhixian bowed: "The village is rich, do you want to build a new house?" I know a little bit about this, so I'll help you take a look after dinner. ”

"I want to build a brick house, but I can't spare my hands from the beginning of spring, and when I finish planting things in autumn, it's cold again."

The lieutenant is telling the truth this time, he wants a new house, but he doesn't have time.

Not only do I want to build a house, but I also plan to build a two-story building with many rooms, and it is not so hot to live in summer.

After eating, the chief took the officials around the village, and the fourth house at the entrance of the village was the focus of the officials.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, no one picked it up, the fences were crooked, some were rotten, the windows of the houses were empty, and the mud and grass were missing one piece after another.

The grass on the roof was also growing vigorously, and cobwebs were everywhere.

The officials looked at each other, and the high-ranking people lived in this house? He's too tall.

"Let's go after lunch! Eating roast duck today, everyone is tired of eating fish. ”

The lieutenant guessed what the officials were thinking, the hermit master?

"This ......" Li Zhixian hesitated.

"The big fat duck that the village bought outside, boiled with medicinal herbs, brushed with sugar water, and roasted with wood from fruit trees, the skin was crispy and the meat was tender.

Slice into thin slices, take the lotus leaf cake roll with the noodles, and put the shredded green onions, shredded cucumbers, and sweet noodle sauce in it.

The rest of the duck rack is boiled into duck rack radish tofu soup, the radish is beaten off the skin, it is not bitter to eat, and the skin is soaked in aged vinegar, oops, that taste ......"

"That's okay!" Li Zhixian listened to the introduction of the lieutenant chief, and it was clear that he had just finished eating, and he felt hungry again.

The other officials nodded their heads in support, and the village was too good at eating.

……

"Dad, the stone alkali was sent, and I gave an extra hundred catties, saying that the stone alkali is not pure, and I can't make the specified amount of soap."

Zhu Biao came to his father for dinner at noon and introduced the situation.

Beckoning people to bring things in, a foot-operated cotton machine, plus a large bamboo basket.

The bamboo basket is opened first, take out the roast duck and side dishes, and let people deal with it first.

The tofu inside is soaked in water to avoid becoming rancid.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the food: "Send a few reassuring people to the village, and stay by the side when the village cooks food, always testing drugs is too delayed." ”

"Yes, child. This is for playing cotton, I haven't tried it yet, and I'll find cotton to play after eating. ”

Zhu Biao also feels that waiting is painful, especially when it is time to eat.

"Actually, it's better to come to this duck's recipe, but in that case, there is something missing when you come into contact."

Queen Ma wants to finish the recipe for sausages, and if she doesn't want roast duck, she will do it, and the village will no longer send it.
