Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 383 Prepare to Return to Yuan County

There is nothing more memorable than cooking salt once by yourself. There is no need to write a recipe, and they will definitely keep every step firmly in their minds based on how much they value salt.

"Tongtong, I always think you still have another trick." Jing Yunyan turned his head to look at her who was walking on his left, with a conniving smile in his eyes.

Based on what he knew about her, those villagers who voluntarily helped the disciples of the villa in order to clear up the plague were also worthy of help in her eyes.

The villagers who had returned home with a lotus hoe came from the opposite side, and they said hello respectfully, with smiles on their simple faces.

Shu Yingtong nodded in response.

After walking for a while, she said slowly, "Actually, Dali is not short of salt, and Yuchuan is not short of salt either. The common people should not eat salt at a high price."

Sad to say, ordinary people need to carry all kinds of taxes all their lives to support so many wealthy dignitaries and armies.

In the end, even the salt has to be carefully calculated.

When the famine came, they couldn't afford salt.

There is no shortage of salt in Dali, but the transportation in many remote mountainous areas is inconvenient. The price of salt shipped from other places is naturally different from the place where it is produced.

"There is no shortage of salt in Da Li. You say there is no shortage of salt in Yuchuan? But the salt wells have all been harvested?" Jing Yunyan couldn't keep up with her thoughts, and his face was full of doubts.

There used to be salt wells in Ikuchuan. After several dynasties, the salt wells were continuously fetched and boiled, and the salt wells were scrapped one by one.

Shu Yingtong shook his head, "It's not finished, it's just that your mining technology is not enough."

Da Li's well salt brine extraction technology relies on large shallow wells.

This kind of well productivity level is low, and excavation technique is clumsy, crude, and needs to expend a large amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

The brine resources buried deep underground cannot be exploited, and with long-term exploitation, the shallow brine resources are gradually depleted.

Salt, too, they just can't get it.

"It seems that my family, Tongtong, still loves the people in the southwest~ I want to ask, how much salt can Yuchuan still harvest?"

"With the new technology, it's hard to say how much salt can be harvested. It's still no problem to mine for seven to eight hundred years."

"Seven coughs."

"Yes, even one of your dynasties may not last that long."

Jing Yunyan was choked and coughed again and again, angry and helpless.

Did you say this casually?

However, the woman next to her spoke as nonchalantly as she was discussing what to have for dinner.

If Wen Yuan heard it, he might be so angry that he would jump his feet.
This matter is a confidential matter, and it is indeed not suitable to discuss it in detail outside.

So, they're really starting to think seriously about what to eat.

The dinner table was well laid out, but Zhou Chi's face was sinking like water, and the word "unhappy" was written all over his body while sitting on the stool.

"I'm back~ I'm waiting for you to eat!"

As soon as Zeng Sui saw them coming back, he greeted them and ran into the main room to invite everyone to come out for dinner.

"Huh? Who upset you?" Jing Yunyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Chi curiously.

Secretly thought that no one in this village would dare to provoke him
He immediately thought of Yuduanhun, and on second thought, she had no reason to separate Zhou Chi and Yucunxin.

With Tongtong recuperating her body, plus the old man as a matchmaker, this face must be given.

Zhou Chi sighed softly, "What did you ask Wen Futai to do?"

"Where did you say that?" Jing Yunyan glanced at the group of people who came out of the main room, and suddenly laughed, "Where did Ah Qi go?"

Zhou Chi snorted angrily, "Where else can I go? This afternoon, I packed up my bags and said that I'm going to raid his father's lair to see how many beautiful girls his father has raised."

Jing Yunyan smiled unkindly, quickly put his fist to his lips and pretended to clear his throat.

Zhou Chi's eyes were too sharp.

Ah Qi ran away, so Yu Cunxin naturally left someone behind to take care of her.

cough.
really miserable
"We are scheduled to return in seven days. If you are in a hurry, you can go back to Baiyue in advance to prepare for the six rituals. You have a lot of work on your side, so don't waste time with us."

"Okay, where is your old man now? I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'll go see him first."

Zhou Chi's face paled, and he finally stopped slashing at Jing Yunyan.

Jing Yunyan opened the stool to help Shu Yingtong sit down, and thought for a while, "Well, it's either in Yuan County or Huanshan Village, it all depends on his mood."

The old man doesn't like going back to the villa anymore, and all the secret letters are sent to Huanshan Village.

It's all because there are many novel things planted in the village. It is said that Xuemei cooks meals for him in different ways every day.

Zhuyu has good wine and good food, and the old man can play two games with Populus euphratica when he has nothing to do.

The days were very leisurely.

For a table of dishes, try to accommodate Shu Yingtong as much as possible, and cook them lightly.

Even so, she still couldn't eat after eating only half a bowl, so she put away the bowl and chopsticks and went back to her room to rest.

Jing Yunyan took the leftovers naturally, "A Sui, you can cook whatever you want, and I can cook her meals alone."

The people at the dinner table looked at each other, bowed their heads tacitly and continued to eat.

unacceptable
Bullying that they are all bachelors isn't it?
Shu Yingtong went back to the room and took a shower, washed off the sticky sweat and dust, took a small wooden box and transferred it to the dispensing room.

A prescription for invigorating qi and nourishing blood was prepared, and after taking the medicine, a small handful of dried fruit made from top-quality spiritual fruits was added to each medicine.

After they were packed, they were tied into a pile, and they carried them to Yuduanhun's room.

Yu Duanhun didn't like to eat with many people, so he set up a small table in the room, and Yu Qingxue cooked the meals individually according to Yu Duanhun's taste.

"Master, I always feel that your appetite has improved a lot tonight. You have eaten this dish several times!" Yu Qingxue looked at Yuduanhun with joy in her eyes while holding the bowl.

Master always has no appetite for anything, and he can only pinch a dish three times at most.

People live to eat, and Master eats to live.

In the past few years, because of raising the child-mother Gu, he ate at least six meals a day, and if he couldn't eat more, he had to eat hard.

I vomited until I vomited, and I had to pick up the chopsticks to continue when I sat back at the dining table.

It had been a long time since she saw that Master had the appetite to eat.

"Well, it's strange to say that it's not the first time I've eaten this dish of stuffed fish with mushrooms, but today I think it's extra delicious." Yuduanhun said and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up another one, "Qingxue is good at crafting."

Yu Qingxue thought for a while, "No, it's always been done this way."

As for the ingredients, the villagers picked them from the mountains in the morning, and the fish were also bought together.

She didn't think there was anything unusual about eating, and her craftsmanship was not as good as that of the fourth child.

It was a hot day for dinner, and the door was open. Yu Qingxue saw Shu Yingtong coming over with medicine, and hurriedly got up to say hello.

Shu Yingtong waved her hand to signal her to sit down, "I prepared a few medicines for Lord Yumen, and I fried them for her to drink later. Once in the morning and in the evening, there is no need to taboo."

She put the medicine bag on the corner of the table and turned to leave, but Yu Qingxue stopped her excitedly and added a stool.

"Mrs. Jing, please take a look for my master. Her appetite for dinner tonight has improved a lot!"

"Don't look, keep your mood cheerful and your appetite will naturally be good." Shu Yingtong gave Yu Duanhun an indifferent look.

Yu Linglong was alive and kicking, adding a lot of dried lingonberries to the bowl of mint honey drink last night, plus the effective communication with Wen Yanqin yesterday.

When you feel relaxed, it is normal to eat half a bowl of rice.
