The Cannon Fodder of Fast Time Travel, She Chooses To Farm

  Chapter 70 As a fine female matchmaker chooses to farm (19)

   With deep doubts, the imperial chef prepared two salty glutinous rice fillings according to the princess's wishes - salted egg yolk fresh meat and chestnut fresh meat.

  He is in charge of adjusting the stuffing, and some of the stuffing is done by others, and it can be steamed in a pot soon.

   Halfway through steaming, you can smell the aroma—a domineering aroma that is completely different from the sweet rice dumplings, lingering in your mouth and nose.

   After turning off the fire, it was stewed all night, and the pot was not started until the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival.

   Yu Chu took a sip, and his eyes lit up instantly.

tasty!

too delicious!

   It turns out that the salty rice dumplings are so delicious!

  The royal chef seems to have opened the door to a new world.

  From then on, he obeyed the princess's words and never doubted her again.

   She does what she says, even if she subverts the traditional practice, there must be her reasons.

  Dozens of people from all over the palace are all fascinated by the novel taste of salty rice dumplings, and King Jinnan is no exception.

  He was originally indifferent to desserts.

  After the Dragon Boat Festival and Lantern Festival, you should try a bite or two at most. I didn’t expect that the zongzi could be made into salty ones.

  This morning, he ate three zongzi in one go, and thought the zongzi made in the kitchen were stingy.

  Xu Yin: "..."

  Brother, how young is this? What do you plan to call the zongzi of later generations? Mini dumpling?

  While eating, King Jinnan asked, "Does the princess know if the Lantern Festival can be made into salty ones?"

  Xu Yin: Have you missed the Lantern Festival before the Dragon Boat Festival?

  However, Xiankou Lantern Festival?

   Yes! Fresh meat, abalone in chicken sauce, leek and egg, and super delicious marinated Du Xian.

  Any stuffing that can make dumplings can also be made into Yuanxiao.

  Yan Kejin nodded while listening: "This king is looking forward to next year's Lantern Festival."

  Xu Yin: Ning is an invisible foodie!

  Nanman in May, in the eyes of Central Plains people, it is completely summer, Xu Yin has been fanning her hand for several days, one word: hot!

  So the rice dumplings steamed in the morning may go bad in the evening.

  Xu Yin asked the kitchen to pack the remaining zongzi. The prince was going to inspect the mine and bring them to the mine workers for a share.

  Although most of the miners are exiles, but for the holidays, it is appropriate to distribute zongzi.

   If there is ice, it will be fine, freeze some, and steam it whenever you want to eat.

  Xu Yin couldn't help but sighed.

  The saltpeter has not been found, it is better to get out the motor as soon as possible, she misses the refrigerator and the electric fan.

   "Master, the mountain baby saw you coming." The nanny came in with a smile and said, "This child is very polite. He said that he thanked you for taking care of his family. He specially made rice dumplings and picked mountain products to send over."

  Shanwa is the child who discovered hematite.

  Xu Yin kept his promise, and after discovering that the hematite ore was worth developing, he was rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, and even arranged a job for his parents.

  His father broke his leg before, and it was cured, but he was still unable to walk, so he was arranged to watch the gate at the mine.

  Her mother's cooking skills are good, and it happened that the mine needed to hire a few cooks who cook with fire, and one of them recommended her.

  The wages in the mine are not high, but they are stable. There are holidays and red envelopes to reward silver during the New Year and holidays, which is much better than planing food in the ground and collecting herbs in the mountains.

   What's more, there is an extra reward of one hundred taels, and Shanwa's family has been lifted out of poverty.

  As soon as Xu Yin came out, Shanwa knelt down and kowtowed to her excitedly.

  Xu Yin twitched, coming to the ancient small world, the most uncomfortable thing is kneeling and kowtowing.

   Fortunately, when I came here, I was already on the way south. If I was in Beijing, I would have to kneel down and bow to someone who was of a higher rank than me. I really can't bear it.

   "Is your family all right?"

"If you go back to the princess, it's all good." Shanwa said happily, "My father's legs are much better, and my mother cooks for the mine, earning 30 cash a day, and taking turns doing it with two aunts, so I'm not tired at all. If I have free time, I can do some embroidery work."

   As he spoke, he presented the embroidered shoes made by his mother.

  Xu Yin accepted it happily, without the slightest dislike, she really thought Shanwaniang's craftsmanship was good.

   "Go back and ask your mother if you want to come to the palace to do embroidery work."

When the silkworm cocoons are in batches, we must open a silk weaving workshop and hire a group of embroiderers to embroider on silk brocades with silk threads. Double-sided embroidery is better. You can also try large-scale screens and ornaments, and then transport them to the Central Plains. In Beijing, earn money from rich and idle people.

   "Yeah." Shanwa nodded vigorously, "My mother will definitely be happy."

   "Don't worry, I'll go home and ask your mother for her opinion."

  Shanwa sent rice dumplings, embroidered shoes and two pheasants tied with ropes and still fluttering.

  Xu Yin returned him two catties of brown sugar, a knife of meat, a basket of vegetables from Zhuangzi, and twelve rolls of embroidery threads of different colors.

  Tomatoes and other foreign vegetables, she attached a simple recipe, so that the mountain baby will not be able to make it when it is brought home, and it will be wasted.

  After the mountain baby left, Xu Yin ordered the big kitchen: "Just make a pheasant soup for lunch today, and it doesn't need to be too complicated."

The imperial chef is the best at making soup. It just so happened that the officials in charge of the exiles who crossed the continents learned that King Jinnan had come to the fiefdom, so they brought a batch of local fruits as a tribute. There is nothing better than stewed chicken soup.

  So, the meal presented to Xu Yin at noon was—

  Fresh Huai Yam Coconut Chicken Soup and Pork-cut Chicken Drizzled in Garlic Oil.

  Authentic pheasant food.

  Xu Yin ate it so eloquently that she ordered another pheasant to be kept for the time being. When the prince is at home, it will be stewed for him according to today's recipe.

   Food should be shared.

  …

  While Xu Yin was enjoying the life of the Southern Man with a combination of work and rest, the team escorting Liu Cheng and Wang Zhihai finally arrived in Beijing after a long journey day and night for a month.

  As soon as the charges of these two people were made public, the whole court was in an uproar.

  Nanman is such a poor place, yet there are officials who are corrupt, and even under the banner of King Jinnan, no wonder they were **** and sent to Beijing by the prince.

  Is this throwing the face of the royal family underfoot or something, it’s too bullying!

  If it weren't for the fact that the lord of the fief was not allowed to interfere in the government, King Jinnan would have directly beheaded someone, and no one would have dared to comment.

  And he just tied people up and let the emperor send him down.

  The candidate for the new county guard is still handpicked by the emperor.

  Who dares to say that King Jinnan broke the rules? Isn't it all within the rules!

  As for what was said in the memorial, the mansions of the two goods were searched, and the proceeds from the search were used to offset the taxes of the people of the two counties until the payment was exhausted.

  That’s right, what is taken from the people will naturally be returned to the people, otherwise is this world fair? What if the people rebel?

   At this time, what should I do if I don’t express my position in front of the emperor, and the emperor suspects that they are fellow-men?

   As a result, all civil and military officials came out to express their support:

   "The minister attached a proposal to King Jinnan Shangzuo."

   "The minister also seconded the proposal."

  Actually, King Jinnan's approach is not very feasible in counties and counties near central Beijing.

  Because this area is relatively wealthy, the people's fat and people's anointing that corrupt officials have collected in a year may be richer than the emperor's small private treasury.

  Who is willing to give the people tax credits with vain silver?

   After all, Nanban is too poor, so poor that the emperor is not exempted from taxes, it would be good, how much money can there be?
