The pig was bought by Brother Dao, who took five or six hoes as weapons. At first Lin Yuan thought they had robbed, but Brother Dao had his own reason.
"The mountain road is difficult to walk, let alone bandits, even wild things are troublesome." Brother Dao said with experience, "There is a guy who has a good hand, how can it be better than an empty fist."
Lin Yuan felt that it was reasonable, and only asked them to pay attention to safety. Compared with human life, pigs and sheep were less important.
Someone nearby heard it and said in a loud voice, "Master, that's what you think. When I was a child, there was a famine in my hometown. A handful of refined grains can be exchanged for a girl who is alive and well. Sometimes human life is not worth much!"
Sometimes, food and meat are more valuable than life, especially in troubled times.
Lin Yuan: "Go quickly."
Only then did the man show his yellow teeth: "Let's go."
When I came back, I brought two sheep and five piglets, including two sows and three boars.
The sows will keep their calves when the time comes. One boar will be used as a breeding pig, and the other two peddling pigs have been instigated. This is what Lin Yuan warned. Now there are not many inciting pigs. No one in their village would fan it, just in case, it was still the pig seller who fanned it himself, and if he cultivated it, he could kill and eat meat.
Sheep are all big sheep, even if they are very thin, people can't get enough to eat these days, let alone beasts.
Brother Dao: "That person was on the mountain and asked for some old grain, saying that these beasts can't sell for a price now, and they don't want to give away a little grain, so they stayed."
Now everyone who has money has gone to buy grain, and there are indeed a few who buy meat.
The sheep was slaughtered on the same day, the head of the sheep was boiled into soup, and the mutton was made into bacon, and the reward was given at that time.
Li Da heard that he could drink sheep's head soup tonight. After finishing his work early, he sat on the field ridge and waited. The cold wind was blowing on his face, and it seemed that it was not so cold.
Someone spoke to him: "What is giggling?"
Li Xiao said in a low voice, "There's sheep's head soup tonight, maybe there's some minced meat!"
The man was shocked: "How did you know? There is really sheep's head soup!"
Li Da giggled: "The chef in the cafeteria told me that tonight there will be sheep's head soup and sheep's hoofs. One person can eat a small piece of bone."
When it comes to meat, everyone's mouth begins to secrete saliva, and everyone is greedy for meat.
The human body needs energy, and the sources of energy include carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Carbohydrates are now provided by steamed buns, and proteins are provided by soybeans. As for fats—now Lin Yuan is craving fatty meat, not to mention others.
It's just that although there is no fat, the taste of meat and beans is definitely different.
If you can eat meat, who eats beans
Nowadays, the snacks in Zhuangzi are dry-fried beans, which are chewy, and feel full after eating too much, even if there is a lot of farts, whoever eats too many beans in the dormitory will suffer from it at night.
When it was time for dinner, everyone packed up and went to the cafeteria. The poor people only eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. I have never heard of lunch. In this way, to save food, Lin Yuan wanted to keep his people healthy. They are all strong, and they will have the capital later, so they have three meals a day.
Although the food is simple, it's still okay to be full. These people's bodies have indeed improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At least not many people are affected by wind and cold this winter, which may also have something to do with keeping warm.
Women have been busy making clothes recently. At first, they were very uneasy. Poor people had to cherish a needle and use it. They couldn't buy a piece of cloth a year. Even if there are no seams on the body.
Lin Yuan asked them to make long sleeves and trousers. This is simple, just draw the shape and reduce it, just take a needle and thread to sew it.
Of course, such clothes and trousers can only be worn as underwear, and no cotton is added, but the women thought of a way, they automatically divided into several small groups, and three or four people were responsible for kneading the dead grass, which was meticulous and not hard to the touch. , and then make the clothes and trousers into two layers on one side, not all the tops are sewn, leaving a hole for the rubbed grass.
This can even keep warm, but the movement is not light.
The clothes are also the size that Lin Yuan asked them to make uniformly. It is called one size in modern times. There is a strip of cloth sewn on the waist of the clothes and on the waist of the trousers. Years will not be small.
Kneading withered grass is taught by dogs.
First dry the dead grass by the fire, then rub it one by one until the outer crust is no longer hard, then smash it with a stone, and then dry it in a handful, rub it again, and smash it again. It's a bit of a hassle, but it does work.
In the absence of cotton and cashmere, this is already the best way.
As for the wool and cashmere of the two sheep, Lin Yuan couldn't find a good way to deal with it, so he could only put it away first.
Lin Yuan wants to raise geese next year, and maybe he will wear a down jacket by the end of the year - but it is estimated that the fabric can't keep up, and he has to get out of the gap, so he can only think about it when the time comes.
"smell good!"
"It's so fragrant, my saliva is drooling."
"I can eat two more steamed buns just with this flavor."
When they got to the cafeteria, they started queuing according to Lin Yuan's teaching—no way, no meal if they didn't line up.
The bowl is next to it, you can take it yourself, and you can cook the rice as soon as you take it, and put the used utensils on the designated seat.
"Take more, give me more!" Someone was wailing, "I saw the minced meat, go over there with your spoon!"
"Hey, I have a sheep brain!"
"I have it too, I have it too!"
In addition to the mutton head soup, there is also shredded sauerkraut, served with a few miscellaneous steamed buns. Everyone eats it without lifting their heads. The women in the cafeteria have eaten it in advance, but they are still hungry, so they can only watch , when they finish eating, the rest is theirs.
Although they felt delicious when they were eating, they felt hungry again when they saw the reincarnation of the men who died of starvation.
The head chef of the cafeteria shouted outside, "There's mutton soup tomorrow night."
The weather is good for storing the internal organs, and it is not easy to stink. The chef cooked the sheep's head today, the internal organs tomorrow, and the sheep blood sausage the day after tomorrow.
Clean up the sheep intestines, and then pour the blood in, and the roughly reduced version of the sheep blood intestines is ready.
When cooked with sauerkraut, it is also a rare delicacy.
Lin Yuan's family's food is also simple. Only a small piece of mutton is enough for one person to eat two mouthfuls. It is stewed with sauerkraut and eaten with more rice. delicious.
Lin Yuan thought to himself, and he didn't know if there were starch plants in the local area. He really wanted to eat vermicelli. The cost of rice noodles was too high... I didn't dare to think about it.
Mung beans can make mung bean powder, but I don't know if there are any mung beans now.
The origin seems to be in India and Myanmar.
In the spring, I went out to find someone to ask, maybe there is one
When the pigs are raised, the pork stewed vermicelli will be so happy.
Lin Yuan thought of pork and the smell of pig.
Regarding this stinky smell, I have to think about it.
And how to make them fat.
The author has something to say: There is no detailed record of what dynasty my country introduced mung beans, but a general statement is that my country has a history of cultivating mung beans for two thousand years.
So the Yuan Dynasty should have.
