"This pot is ready, put it in a bucket and use well water."

After the meal is done, the mung bean water is boiled, a little salt is added, and when it is boiled, it is poured into a wooden barrel, and the wooden barrel is then put into a wooden trough with cold well water.

When the town is ready, it will be distributed to the people on the streets of the city, and the potassium and salt will be replenished and the thirst will be quenched.

Beiping Mansion is dry! In the summer of the seventh year of Hongwu, there was a drought in Beiping.

The year before last, there was a drought in Beiping and other places, but at that time, it was prevented in advance, and the wells and reservoirs that were left behind were still there.

In the past two years, wells have been drilled, cement was used to wipe the pond, rainwater, well water, and river water were collected at the beginning of spring, and people were sent to guard them to prevent children from approaching.

As we all know about this year's drought, the people are like industrious squirrels, constantly trying to store water for watering.

It has been dry for more than three months, and now it has just been a month, and the water level of the river flowing out of the northern flat has dropped somewhat.

The people always took a long pole to the well to measure the water level, and a sign was erected outside the well, on which the time of construction, the name of the craftsman or team, the materials used, and the depth of the well were written.

There are few pressure wells, most of them are roller wells and orange wells, and irrigation makes the orange wells more labor-saving, and the efficiency is high.

The pressure well is defective, more than ten meters can not be pressed, the atmospheric pressure to suppress the water, the advantage is that people can not fall, and the pressure of the well is easier than with a roller.

"Can our boat still get out?" After eating half of the sheep's kidney, Zhu Hu suddenly remembered a question, after the drought, the water level of the river from Beiping to the mouth of the sea dropped, and the boat ......

"So I only ran one round of Taiyuan Mansion, and then I took some things to the beach to load the sea boat, and the small steam engine ship was also loaded on the sea boat, and then unloaded into the Sancha River in Dingliao Duwei." Zhu Fan said to the fifth brother.

"What about us?" Zhu Hu nodded first, and then thought of a question.

"From Beiping Mansion to the sea, it is a plain area, and we use livestock to travel, more than 300 miles." Zhu Li also told the fifth brother.

"Oh! Right! There are a lot of big animals in Pei Binh Province. Zhu Lu came to his senses and happily took a big sip of cold beer.

Two hours passed, the meal was over, everyone took a shower and went into the camp tent to rest, and had to blow the electric fan without air conditioning.

I didn't eat dinner, and the next morning I drank cold mung bean porridge, ate mutton siu mai, and a bunch of small pickles.

"Your Highness, the camp of the Yan Wangfu has been built, and you have been living there for the last few days?" Xu Da arranged things.

"Let's take a turn, if you walk too far, you can set up a temporary camp outside at night, and I feel that there are the least things to do in Beiping Mansion."

Zhu Di didn't want to stay in one place all day, he had to look at the situation around him.

"According to His Highness's wishes." Xu Da is indispensable, Beiping is safe, and he believes that no one dares to send troops to fight him.

The crowd walked along the street, which was called the Flat Gate Street, which corresponded to the Flat Gate.

There were many people standing on the side of the road waiting for the procession to pass, but there was no need to kneel.

They stared wide-eyed, and each of them had a sergeant beside them looking at them.

The palace maid was in charge of delivering popcorn sticks made of sorghum rice to the children she saw along the way, and the eunuch looked around, waiting for someone to suddenly kneel down and cry out.

Since the team came out, not a single case has been handled, and the government is harmonious and prosperous...... Anyway, it's all good!

The officials of Beiping Mansion looked depressed, and the more they looked at the eunuchs who were looking forward to it, the more depressed they became, you just want us to have an accident?

After walking a distance, Zhu Di suddenly saw a popcorn stick in the hand of an eight or nine-year-old boy deformed.

He beckoned: "Xiao Hi, you are close to the front drops to work......"

The little boy brought up the gun made with a popcorn stick and saliva, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Zhu Di, looking like he wanted to break through the Japanese invaders.

"Looking for me?" The little boy didn't know what to call the person in front of him.

"Your gun is too bald, just three popcorn sticks." Zhu Di observed the gun.

"Because I only have one, divided into three sections, you ask my beautiful sister to give me another twenty, I can make a better one, do you believe it?"

The little boy was talking to Zhu Di and turned his head to look at the palace maid who handed out popcorn sticks.

"Can you hold twenty? Give you ten, what do you do at home? ”

Zhu Di didn't promise to give twenty, since he asked, he naturally had to say that he would give ten.

"Farming! Planting rice, my father and sister-in-law went to add water to the field, and we came out to make soy sauce. Ah! We've got a soy sauce pot in the department store, so we'll have to go back and get it. ”

As the little boy spoke, he found that there was no soy sauce pot in his hand and was in a hurry.

"Not busy, not busy! Can't lose it! Zhu Di stopped the other party: "I don't know about the drought this summer?" ”

"Yes! Our father said that the yamen specially drilled a well in our land, and there is a river next to the ground, and others don't grow rice, let's plant, won't rice be expensive! By selling the rice for wheat, the family can save more money. Can't you lose the soy sauce pot? ”

The little boy replied and turned his head to look at the department store behind him, looking worried.

"People in the department store know your stuff, what do you do with soy sauce at home?" Zhu Di asked again.

"Eat dumplings, my father said that His Royal Highness King Yan is down, let's celebrate, make dumplings at night, there is vinegar at home, there is no soy sauce, His Royal Highness King Yan is here, we will have a good life!"

The little boy straightened his chest and smiled.

"Ask him what he still lacks, give him a set, and go to the department store to choose. Give him twenty popcorn sticks and take them home for him. ”

Zhu Di followed with a smile, he likes this kind of good boy who tells the truth, honest!

"Huh? Sent to our house? The little boy's eyes widened in surprise as he realized who that 'he' was.

"Live a good life! Go ahead! Zhu Di nodded and continued to walk forward.

Next to him, a palace maid pulled a little boy who thanked him into the department store, picked up something, and gave a set.

……

It was almost noon, and finally arrived at the Taiye Pond, which was affected by the drought, and the water level of the Taiye Pond dropped.

There is a small island on the Taiye Pond, and the main camp area is placed on it, and the eating is naturally on it, and there is no problem in terms of safety.

It's hot, and we have to go outside in the afternoon, so everyone hurry up, and most of the people in the team eat sorghum rice and rice, and they have salted soybeans.

The prince and the officials ate rice made in Xiaqiu Village, eggplant boiled in the morning, chopped green onion and coriander mixed with egg sauce, and then cut into the sauce beef made last night.

"Give us another salted duck egg, it will cost us more oil."

Zhu Lu just took a cold shower, blowing his hair to add vegetables.

"No salted duck eggs, no boiled, half a salted goose egg per person."

Ling'er refused, and after cutting the salted goose eggs, a small table was half placed on the plate.

"Then we're going to have a double yellow." Zhu Hu made another request.

"Give, give you a double yellow, and the double yellow is also half a half." Ling'er really has a double yolk egg.

"Is there a lot of goose eggs in stock?" At this time, Zhu Fan asked the person in charge of the Beiping Mansion department store who was called next to him, and the department store received the goods.

Now I eat the salted goose eggs brought by the team, and the outside is marked with pencils.

Local pickled ones are not allowed to be eaten, for fear that there will be problems if the pickling is not good.
