After tasting the duck head, duck feet, and duck wings, the roast duck was finally served.

The royal cupboard in the palace holds a duck knife brought by the village, and slices it according to the method introduced, trying to have skin on every piece of meat.

The three of them picked up the lotus leaf cake according to the method, spread the sweet noodle sauce, shredded green onions, and shredded cucumbers, rolled them up and took a bite.

"Incense!" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were already narrowed.

"The duck is so fat, but it is not greasy to eat, and the duck skin is delicious." Queen Ma followed and praised.

Zhu Biao took a sip: "The shredded green onion and cucumber are already greasy, quickly take down the duck rack to make soup." ”

The duck rack soup is made quickly, the duck rack itself is cooked, the tofu can be eaten directly, and the radish can be eaten raw.

When the three of them tasted the third roll, the soup and the skin of the radish with aged vinegar were served.

They eat duck meat, drink soup, and chew radish skin, and the feeling is sublimated.

"If you want a recipe, you want it, you have to send it, you have to take it, they can't send roast duck every day."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he couldn't bear the pain of waiting, such a delicious roast duck should be able to be eaten at any time.

"Heavy eight, you can't always eat other people's food for nothing, send some seafood over."

Queen Ma was also conquered by the taste of roast duck, and she had to return the gift, and it was not suitable to give money.

"Okay, give it, Biao'er instructed someone to prepare, and bring it when they go back." Zhu Yuanzhang asked his son to do it.

"Son, I'm looking for someone." Zhu Biao got up and called someone to make arrangements.

"Save one for the night, and divide the rest among your brothers and sisters."

Queen Ma remembered that there were other children who ate new things by themselves, but they didn't taste it.

Zhu Yuanzhang took another bite: "Sausage, cut a plate of sausages." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang drank the last mouthful of soup and didn't even give a green onion left, he touched his stomach and looked satisfied.

Zhu Biao called someone to play the cotton, and with the movement of dada, the cotton was played quickly.

Queen Ma took a look: "The old cotton that has been used for a long time needs to be played again, and it is better to play the cotton machine than the roast duck." ”

Including the people who were called to operate, everyone agreed with the queen's words.

This thing plays cotton too fast, there are two or three in a village, which is enough, and it is good for the people to have more time to rest.

Zhu Yuanzhang circled around the machine twice: "The sticks are made of iron, and the wheels are replaced with wood, saving iron." It was passed on to the state capitals, and other things made by the villages, for the people to use. ”

He can see the benefits of things, saving time and effort.

The people don't have to be so tired, they get sick less, they can save food, or they can do more work, even if they weave a few sacks.

He rested for a while and had a small meeting with the minister.

……

In Xiaqiu Village, the officials also ate a lot, and when they left, they took the roast duck back to separate people, and the relatives at home could not forget it.

Smoked fish and dried fish were also taken away, some of which were eaten, and the rest were used to help the village change grass.

They have nothing else in kind to repay Xiaqiu Village, they can only see what Xiaqiu Village needs, and cooperate immediately, and there is no problem in policy.

"Zhixian." On the way back, Guan Xiancheng hiccuped: "The village wants to build a new house, but there is no manpower and time, let's find someone who has not yet served to help?" ”

"Huh?" Li Zhixian turned his head to look at his colleagues.

Guan Xiancheng replied with an affirmative look: "The person who was found will be happy to come, there is still a period of time before the rice harvest, and the farming is idle." ”

"That's right! They come to work, the village gives them food, and they deliver things. Master Zheng agreed.

Wang Dianshi just nodded, supportive, supportive.

"That's okay, when they go back when they harvest rice, they may eat fat one by one!"

Li Zhixian thought that the county Cheng's proposal was okay, and he would never dare to operate like this in another place.

Why let someone else build a house for a village? He is not afraid of Xiaqiu Village.

There are too many things for Daming in Xiaqiu Village, and the palace allows these officials to eat and take it!

What's more, the people who are looking for service, as long as they have a meal, they must be happy, and they have to thank their officials.

I don't believe it, looking at the fifty people who are driving and transporting, the smile is from the heart, and each person sends an extra roast duck to take back for the family to eat.

Lotus leaf cakes and other things are all ready, go back and cut the meat with a knife and roll it directly, and then get some water to cook the soup, and the salt is prepared.

Is this still called service? They exchanged the smoked fish and dried fish that they were given later for food.

After returning in the evening, he would mow the grass with a torch and take his family to a designated place outside the city to exchange dried fish the next day.

The dried fish was given to the family, and they drove and followed the car to Xiaqiu Village, taking turns sleeping on the road.

As long as they don't delay the farm work, they are willing to let them continue to do it.

……

Li Zhixian and others went to Xuancheng when it was just dark, brought roast duck to find Song Zhifu and others, told them about the matter, and set off that night.

They went to the house of a poor family, knocked on the door, told them to do labor, and set off in half an hour, and gathered at the north gate, without taking anything with them.

The people who were knocked on the door had no choice, so they prepared a little, tied a straw and lit it to smear and hurried away.

There was a piece of smoked fish that went to the north gate first, and the official told him that he was not allowed to stay, and he had to eat it now.

The yamen prepared ten additional cars to pull people, a total of 200, and set off before dawn, together with the team pulling grass.

"Yo! Wang Laofu, are you here too? "One of the fifty people before saw someone he knew.

"Cripple Zhang? What are you? Wang Laofu also tasted the fragrance of smoked fish and found acquaintances.

"I've been lame for three months, I've got a broken leg, you're a bricklayer...... What's wrong with your dad? ”

Zhang lame inquired, the other party's father was a bricklayer, and when he was working for people, there was a sudden gust of evil wind, which fell from the house, and more than ten bones were broken.

The family spent a lot of money to treat, and still owed a famine, Wang Laofu could only desperately find a job to do and pay it back slowly.

"It's much better, I can catch up with the rice harvest, and at night the official knocks on the door and asks me to go out of labor, saying that I am going to help build a house, alas!"

Wang Laofu sighed as he spoke, his eyes reddened.

"Ahh Right! Yesterday about the house, oh my! Do you know anyone from the county yamen? "Cripple Zhang understood.

"I know? If I knew them, they would toss me? Wang Laofu's tears finally fell.

"I grass, don't you know they're looking for you? Do you know who you build a house for? Zhang was taken aback.

"To whom to build it? It's really going to take a month, and it's too late for my family to harvest rice. Wang Laofu became more and more sad.

"Alas! You'll know when you get there, and you'll be asked to go back when the harvest comes. Sleep, I sleep, and get up for a while to catch the car. ”

Zhang lame shook his head, yawned, closed his eyes, lowered his head, and narrowed.

The sky was bright, the torches were extinguished, and a village appeared in front of them.

"I'll sleep after breakfast, I worked last night, and if I go back in the afternoon today, I have to stay up late."

I used to ride a horse to hurry, but then I stopped riding, and Li Zhixian, who was sitting in the car, rubbed his eyes.

There is work in the county office, and he can't run away if it should be him, and everyone else is the same.

Fortunately, I was able to rest on the road, and the food in Xiaqiu Village was fragrant, and I didn't boil my body.

"Cripple Zhang, where is this?" Wang Laofu, who has not slept solidly and wakes up from time to time, asked.

"Xiaqiu Village, ready to eat." Zhang is lame and energetic.

"That Xiaqiu village, where I heard there are a lot of big livestock? They build houses? Wang Laofu was even more puzzled.
