At about ten o'clock, the team arrived at Daliang Village.

The villagers were so nervous that the adults locked the children in their houses and did not allow them to come out.

Li Chang Hu Xiaojiang changed into a clean place and stepped forward, waiting next to him to answer questions at any time.

The others watched curiously as they worked, and the guards who came in advance said what to do and continue to do it.

The two brothers said hello and brought down the things and money that they had pushed back, the cloth was bought by several families, and the rest of the money belonged to the villagers who asked them to help sell the gourd strips, and the salt was to be divided.

"What about the kids? Call out all the children and give them good things to eat, and we won't eat the children, it's not the thieves who are coming. ”

The fifth Zhu Hu shouted, like a bandit.

The adults of the village had no choice but to summon the child out, and the timid child hid behind the others, tilting his head and sticking out one eye.

"Come and eat popcorn sticks, eat as you like, don't eat too much, eat too much and go to the thatched house hard."

Zhu Hu asked people to bring popcorn sticks and began to distribute them.

The number of adults in the village is obviously small, so there is no need to ask, they are watering the ground! After a while the sun rises and they will return.

Other villagers, especially the elderly, look at the position of the stool, they are all in the shade, and there is a tray that can be turned, and the green gourd is placed on the place, which is busy cutting gourd strips.

There are rows of wooden shelves in the village, on which are big poles, and the gourd strips that have been cut off are hung to dry.

The team set up a shed, and some people took out flour and noodles with a dough machine, and set up a big pot on the earthen stove, and they could only eat noodles today.

The palace maid and the eunuch went from house to house to collect eggs, all the chickens, ducks and geese, so as to scramble egg sauce.

Ling'er stood in front of a gourd sharpening equipment, nodded, and asked Hu Xiaojiang Hu Lichang: "Are you tired of cutting too much?" ”

Hu Lichang: "......"

"Ask if you are tired of cutting gourds and cutting too much, what are you blinking your eyes for?"

Zhu Hu, who gave the child something to eat, can still take care of this.

"Tired! Don't you get tired! How can there be a good thing to work without getting tired? Hu Lichang replied helplessly.

"That's right, you look at your thing, stick a small wooden stick on the top of the gourd, and when you rotate, the rotary knife in the other hand sticks to the gourd, and the gourd strip is cut out.

We've seen another one, there is no tray below, the gourd is hung directly on the top, and then the top one is turned.

We also know a kind of pedal rotation, when the foot moves, the gourd is carried and rotated, and the other hand is not tired.

In fact, it can be made better, no one cares, put the gourd on it, and cut it out directly.

It's not suitable for you, the more manpower is saved, the more complex the structure, and you can't fix it if it's broken. ”

Zhu Fan spoke out at this time, Xiaqiu Village Rotary Gourd Strip adopts foot-operated type, mechanical is not done, the demand is less, and it is enough to cut some to eat, and there is really no more to buy ready-made.

The gourd strips are indeed worthless, and the people grow it as a tool, and the other is eaten as a vegetable in the current season, and there are few people who specialize in making dry gourd strips and selling them.

"I'll make a few sets first." Wang Yiqian listened to what Zhu Fan said, understood, and found someone to make foot-operated gourd strip cutting equipment.

He changed a mechanical gourd sharpening machine, which needed to be debugged, and the gourd was automatically skinned and began to cut strips, so that the people of Daliang Village could see it.

The principle is very simple, there are all kinds of fruit peeling machines in Xiaqiu Village, including yams, which are pasted with spring blades, and a yam will peel off the skin in more than ten seconds to avoid human contact and allergies.

"Let's make dumplings! Gourd egg shrimp skin filling, buy the villagers' gourd, invite them to eat, don't eat noodles. ”

Zhu Di considered coming over and making dumplings for the villagers, the villagers didn't have good equipment, the noodles were all whole wheat, and the flour in the team was white!

"Listen to Your Highness." The lieutenant agreed that he could eat anything, nothing was necessary.

Everyone in the team will make dumplings, including the four princes, and the local officials don't know if they will be, probably not!

Prepare for the stop of the dough cutting machine, start to adjust the parts, press the dough to make the dumpling skin, to be round.

The dumpling skin produced in this way is not good, it belongs to spreading a piece of noodles together, and then pressing it with a cylinder to make a stack of dumpling skin.

The leftovers go back and mix again, and continue to lay and press.

After the normal rolling pin rolls out the dumpling wrappers are in the middle, the surrounding gradually thins out, and the thickness of the pressed out is equal.

The other part of the people went to get the gourd, beat the outer skin first, cut it in half, cut it in half, took out the gourd, put it in the silk polishing machine to wipe the silk, and added a little salt.

The collected eggs are beaten into a large vat, inserted into the whisk, buzzed and stirred, and fried in the oil pan for a while.

The villagers of Daliang Village were dumbfounded, what is this? There are their own noodles, there are their own wipes, and they don't use chopsticks to beat eggs?

Zhu Li saw some villagers staring at the egg beater, and said: "You can make a simple egg beater with bamboo, right?" ”

"Don't do it!" Ling'er denied: "I usually don't beat eggs every day, make a bamboo and put it there, the ashes are falling, the slag is dried, and the eggs are taken out again, and it is easy to prick the hands when washing, and when the eggs are beaten, they are broken in the egg liquid." ”

Ling'er proceeds from reality, people don't beat eggs every day, Xiaqiu Village uses steel wire, because it needs to process eggs every day, including steamed cakes, fried soft twist flowers, stir-fried vegetables, and stuffing......

People generally eat boiled eggs, which is fuel-efficient, and frying eggs consumes oil, and steaming egg custard is troublesome.

The biggest advantage of boiled eggs is that they are easy to carry, when you want to eat them, you can eat them when you want to, and people who go out carry two boiled eggs for emergency use.

"Oh!" Zhu Li thinks it makes sense, if you don't do it, don't do it!

For cooking here, the craftsmen divided the wheelbarrow by hand, and prepared one for each household, and they divided the size among themselves.

Because it is next to two rivers, Daliang Village has a lot of arable land and a large population, and it belongs to a large village, with 120 households.

The villages on the other side of the river are also done, don't look at them as belonging to Zhuozhou, in Zhu Di's eyes, Zhuozhou is also his own, just like Datong Mansion is taken care of by Zhu Li.

The economic development of Beiping Province will inevitably drive the surrounding areas and require resources and manpower from other places.

The court said that the prince was not allowed to use administrative means in other places around him, and that he was not allowed to leave the fiefdom, so economic means were used.

Like Juliang Village on the other side of the Zhuozhou River, as long as Fangshan County makes great efforts to collect gourd strips, the villages that are opposed to Daliang Village in terms of naming will inevitably work hard to grow gourds.

At the beginning, they also planted, and there were many marriages between the two villages across the river.

Gourds are good seeds, unlike fruit trees, which take several years to bear fruit, gourds are annual climbing herbaceous plants, just build a shelf for it, like cucumbers, to be precise, grape-like shelves.

"Sister Ling'er, are gourd strips easy to sell?" Xu Yihua looked at Zhu Di and asked helpfully.

Ling'er also glanced at Zhu Di, and said to Xu Yihua with a smile: "It's best to eat now, the cooking method of making dried gourds is restricted, and ordinary people are reluctant to eat dried ones at home."

That is, we can't popularize civilian families, we can make it a dish in restaurants and restaurants.

Or to the people to promote how to eat dried gourd strips, gourd slices are actually okay, but the strips are good to dry, and the slices need a large drying site.

Pharmacies are willing to use tablets, and people are willing to use sticks when they eat themselves, and the storage environment is different. ”
