Chapter 88 The full moon illuminates folk affairs (first update)

At night, the lanterns are still bright, and the lanterns in Xiaqiu Village will be lit every night from New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Moreover, it is a glass lantern, painted with red paint and with a pendant underneath. This kind of lantern is not afraid of the wind.

Instead of using red lanterns tomorrow, pick a glass lamp from a distance, transparent glass, to illuminate.

Use it when you go to the latrine at night. There is a bad smell when using a chamber pot or something in the house.

In fact, it is because the village has money and can light the lamps for a long time. In the past, only the sacrificial halls and mountain temples prepared lamps.

Wherever Hanhan lives, there is an ever-burning lamp. He doesn’t use a lot of oil in one night. If Hanhan lives there, he will replenish the oil himself.

When villagers look for Hanhan, they look at the lights. If the worship hall is not lit, they must be in the mountain temple.

Now at night, there are lights everywhere in the village, but there is nothing we can do, there is too much oil.

Last year we harvested an extra crop of rapeseed, as well as ramie seeds and jute seeds, all of which can be used to extract oil.

The pressed oil residue is fed to the livestock, one by one, one by one, and the animals are kept strong.

Under such a lamp, Magistrate Song and others first processed the official documents, and then wrote the inscription on it, about the village giving one thousand taels of silver.

They didn't dare to take it privately. This was Zhu Yuanzhang's early Ming Dynasty, and his majesty today kills officials without blinking an eye.

They will leave after eating tomorrow morning. Spring has begun and there will be more rain. They will take a look at the rivers to see if there is any danger of their banks bursting.

Don't be careless. If something goes wrong, you'll lose your head. Really.

There was a stove in the room and it was warm. After the officials finished their work, they washed their faces and lay down to sleep soundly. They were more comfortable than at home.

The next morning, there were no glutinous rice balls, but instead fried dumplings, a lot of pickles and spicy soup.

The authentic spicy soup is peppery, not chili pepper, and does not use chili powder or chili oil.

Let’s see what other ingredients are available! If there are any, put them in. If you want to eat meat, add meat.

There is no beef. The village has not eaten beef for a long time.

It's better to put chicken, it's not fishy, ​​add shredded silk, fungus, tofu cubes, eggs, soaked dried vegetables, and marinate to thicken the soup.

Eating this thing alone makes spicy soup, and putting it in the tofu brain makes it stewed.

At that time, Zhu Wentian said that Henan said that it was mixed with tofu, which is tofu curd with spicy soup. If you want tofu curd alone, you can add sugar.

Watching the breakfast, the officials in the mansion began to envy the officials in Fuguo County.

The county magistrate can come to the village at any time, there is a reason! There are twenty-two villages, I have to see them.

If the government officials can't do it, there are so many counties! Why don't you just go to a village in a county?

You so want to surpass our county-level officials and go down below. How great would it be for you to be a county official?

No matter what your thoughts are, you have to eat.

Pan-fried buns stuffed with pork and green onions, fried sausages with garlic sprouts, fried eggs with spicy garlic and black bean sauce, half an oily salted goose egg, kelp, radish and tofu soup.

This is the breakfast in Xiaqiu Village, not counting pickles, it is included with every meal, and is a regular side dish.

"The county needs to do some research! The weather is getting warmer, and Xiaqiu Village is the first village in our county to grow wheat."

Li Zhixian didn’t want to leave after taking a bite of fried buns. Why are they so delicious? You can have another meal at noon.

The county magistrate, the chief registrar, and the historian nodded, yes, we can work harder and explore in the countryside.

Some officials in the government glared angrily, trying to save face!

Last year, when you were sick, you came here to stay for many days, and after you recovered, you said you were recuperating.

Your village was cured in three days. How many days did you stay there?

"That's right! We should still put the county's official business first." Magistrate Song said and asked me to go back.

He knew that the four main officials in the county came to Xiaqiu Village to avoid delaying their work, and the government officials rode horses to deliver official documents.

Someone reported it to the county, but these four people didn't try it in person. How big of a case would it be?

Generally, the cases are handled by petty officials, mainly for mediation. If someone's dog kills someone's chicken, you will not have to go to court.

Magistrate Song is not happy. How long did you stay in the village last year?

You eat and drink by yourself, and the yamen who are responsible for delivering official documents back and forth can also get things and take the things you give to your family with them.

Did you give me the key? No, it’s because you don’t sit in charge of the county government, okay?

Tell me about your behavior. How will the chickens view it? How will the ducks view it? How will the goose view it?

"Go back together." Li Zhixian had no choice but to compromise. He understood, but felt aggrieved.

Why didn’t I give you anything? The village specially brought you braised pork, and you all forgot about it?

Everyone had their own thoughts, finished breakfast and prepared to return.

The village provided soap, soap, rock candy, candied haws, vegetarian meatballs, salted tofu, fermented bean curd, black bean sauce, sausages, cakes, bread, shrimp oil side dishes, and braised pork.

Depending on the grade, the number of packages is also different, and the yamen have a complete set.

One thousand taels of silver were taken away, and everyone waved goodbye with a look of anticipation: "We are together for a short time, and time flies by. You always come to guide us! Every time we leave so quickly, we hope that you will not leave."

"Go away, hurry up, go, hey hey hey hey..." Zhu Wentian brushed off his presence, raised his hands and waved them together.

officers:"……"

…

"Yichang, Yichang, I heard that a group of pigs were transported from Dangtu County and they were killed and sold for meat. It was cheap.

It is said that the livestock there were much sicker last year, and now it is time to spring plowing. The situation in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is different from ours.

I want to sell the pigs and buy bigger livestock. Some people in my village have already bought meat. It looks good and is cheaper than usual.

They don’t have much money during the Chinese New Year this year, and some people can’t sell their pigs. It’s spring and they can’t just feed them with grass.”

In the evening, Feng Gui came and took away two big carps.

Last time he sent eels, the village gave him a bunch of cheese cubes in return, which he would find whenever something good happened.

"Come here! You still have some things to go and wash your hands. It's just dinner, so I'll take a bite."

The village chief took the fish enthusiastically and greeted the other party. He knew the situation in the other party's village, and his people were mixed and he couldn't go anywhere.

If the same thing happened in Xiaqiu Village, he would have cried to death in the sacrificial hall and failed to manage the village well.

"I'm not going to eat anymore. Go buy it quickly. If it's too late, there won't be any good meat."

Feng Gui waved his hand and refused. He just came to deliver a message. It didn't look good to be empty-handed, so he brought two fish.

"That's not important. Feng Laosi, come and wash your hands with me. I still need a pair of chopsticks for you two? Brother, let's go!"

The chief insisted and told the other party and the attendants to wash their hands.

The staple food for dinner is fried rice noodles. Rice noodles are different from vermicelli. They are like the machine-made noodles from Zhu Wentian's time, but without gluten.

If you are making noodles with soybean paste, rice noodles cannot be used to make them, and the taste will be quite different.

Feng Gui and the people he brought were not picky either. The staple food was already good, but the key was that the side dishes were so good.

Stir-fried braised chicken rack, deliberately leaving a lot of meat on the chicken rack, cut the buttocks of the chicken, take out the glands, there is a lot of oil and water.

When Feng Gui and his wife were full and rode back on the two donkeys they brought, the village chief asked Zhu Wentian: "Hanhan, do we want to buy pork?"

"Look, sell soap and sugar, let's go. Hey hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian responded.

"Okay, let's find someone to take things with us and set off. We need to keep the lights on."

The chief is used to it and has a very strong understanding. Of course, he will ask if he doesn't understand.

It’s a new day, vote, thank you very much!
