The eldest daughter of the emperor, she began to build a city wildly

Chapter 33 Vinegar Song
"What did you take?" Yingyue looked at the bouncing Li Sheng and asked.

Li ran up to Su Tang out of breath, pointed to the cage and said excitedly, "The people they went hunting today caught a litter of chickens and a few rabbits. Didn't the village owner say they wanted to raise animals? I'll send them to Su Tang." coming."

Su Tang looked at the brightly colored feathers in the cage, a fierce old hen guarding a brood of chicks, "Is this a pheasant?"

Pheasants can fly, and they are not as docile as domestic chickens, but scrambled eggs with tomatoes should taste better with wild eggs, and these three fat hares, Su Tang couldn't help but think of spicy rabbit heads and spicy rabbit diced.

"That's right, I heard from them that it took a lot of effort to capture this group of chickens alive." Li Sheng smiled, and then took out a small bag of things in his arms, "Also, the things that the village owner asked me to carve are also finished. , and each one has a few more engravings, if there is any problem, I will do it again."

Su Tang took the small cloth bag and opened it to take a look. Inside were all the grenade parts she asked Li Sheng to carve with wood.

"Okay, please help put these small animals in the poultry pen." Su Tang smiled.

She asked Li Sheng to make a chicken coop before, which was as big as a house. The four sides and the top were bound with thin bamboo, and there was a palm-width distance between each bamboo. Now it is very suitable for keeping pheasants. Go in and raise it.

The location is very large, and they can move around inside. Even if the chicks can come out, as long as the old hen is locked inside, they will not go far, and closely follow the old hen.

Rabbits don’t need to be so troublesome. You just need to get up around and put the rabbits in and raise them. Rabbits have a strong reproductive ability.

After arranging them and feeding them some grass, Su Tang turned his head and saw Jing Tuan lying outside the poultry pen, looking at her resentfully, his little eyes seemed to accuse her of saying that there was only each other, why did she secretly have sex with her? There are so many more than others!

"No, listen to my explanation." Su Tang understood the little emotions in Jing Tuan's eyes, and hurriedly coaxed it.

snort!The startled group didn't listen, dragged Yuanyuan's body with two little paws, twisted and twisted back to the yard, leaving behind a lovely back for Su Tang.

Looking at its cute body with black stripes on a white background, the way it stands and walks makes Su Tang inexplicably think of a walking penguin, also clumsily twisting its little butt.

Su Tang felt it was funny and helpless, so he had to go to the village to find someone to borrow a small fish it loved to eat. When he returned, he saw it in the yard, pointing its head to the corner and drawing circles.

A round, fluffy butt was exposed, and Su Tang held the small fish and shook it above its head, "Do you think I'll bring you something delicious?"

Jing Tuan twisted his body and continued to point his round butt at her to express his anger.

"Oh, don't be so stingy! You are different from them, they are for eating like this fish, only you are my partner, unique!" Su Tang stuffed the fish in Jingtuan's arms inside.

The startled group turned his head, hugged his little fish tightly, and looked at Su Tang uncertainly with his small eyes.

"Really, you can eat whichever you want in the future, and you will be their boss." Su Tang promised quickly.

Only then did Jingtuan hold the fish head in its mouth in satisfaction, leaving a piece of fish tail fluttering outside its cute mouth, and rubbed its head against Su Tang.

Seeing that it was so cute, Su Tang wanted to hug it, but it turned out to be too heavy for him to hug. Only then did he realize that Jing Tuan was already a circle bigger than when he first arrived.

Su Tang had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​hugging it, and rubbed Jingtuan's soft fur twice, until Jingtuan looked at her with resentful eyes, and Su Tang got up to go about his own affairs.

Yingyue took a basket of grain from the house and put it in the yard, "Master, last time the third head of the family went out to buy you chicks and you didn't even want them, let them exchange some grain first, and now you don't want to eat it. No, what is it for?"

"Make vinegar koji." The seasoning here is very monotonous, and the food is very bland.

It just so happens that sweet potatoes can be used to make vinegar, and a batch of vinegar and soy sauce can be made at that time. In her small vegetable garden, there are still some seasonings such as chili, scallion, and ginger. Although there are not many grown, it is enough for Su Tang to eat this winter Spicy and delicious hot pot and Malatang too.

I haven't eaten these things for three years, and I really miss them.

"What is vinegar song?" Yingyue had never heard of this thing.

"It's for vinegar, which is a very, very sour seasoning, but it's delicious."

As soon as Yingyue heard that it was sour, she thought of some wild fruits that could make her teeth sour, so she drooled unconsciously.

Su Tang moved a stone mortar to crush wheat and other grains, kneaded them into balls with water, wrapped them in hemp leaves and hung them under the eaves to dry. A month later, the vinegar koji was made.

It seems very simple. When Su Tang and the others hung up the eaves, they were busy for several days, mainly smashing the grains little by little, which was a very time-consuming and labor-intensive thing.

In the past few days, the wooden house used to make gunpowder on the south bank of the river was built by Wu Chong with the fastest speed, and mass production of gunpowder has begun.

Su Tang asked Wu Chong to send the powder kegs he made directly to this side, and ambush them at various points around the village.

Earlier, Xiao Che said that a group of newcomers had flooded into the mountains recently and were looking for a place to stay. Now that Fufeng Village looks easy to bully, Su Tang had to make preparations in advance, just in case.

Su Tang inspected all the ambush points, and used four wooden stakes to build a small thatched shed. The gunpowder barrel was hidden inside when it was ready, so as to prevent the gunpowder from getting wet when it rained.

He took Yingyue with him and walked towards the woods not far away with an ax in his hand.

"Master, be careful of the bees." Yingyue reminded.

There are some beehives in this forest, and bees are diligently collecting honey. I believe it will not take long for the villagers to eat the extremely rare honey.

"Master, do you want to cut down a tree?" Yingyue looked at Su Tang who was dressed in coarse cloth and was holding a big ax in his hand, with a rather heroic demeanor.

"Let's see if we can make some paper." Su Tang looked at a lush green sandalwood tree and nodded. Green sandalwood is the main material for making rice paper, and she wanted to chop some back and try it out.

Compared with bamboo slips and rough and yellowed hemp paper that are still used here, rice paper is soft and tough, as smooth as jade, not decayed, and can be preserved for a long time. Inscriptions and paintings on it, the ink rhyme is clear, and the layers are distinct.

Such easy-to-use and clean paper will definitely be sought after by literati. Even if you don’t sell it, it’s much more convenient to make some for your own use. Especially after Li Sheng records various accounts, it’s more convenient to write a book than to write on bamboo slips. .

"Master is really powerful, he looks like he knows everything." Yingyue worshiped.

Su Tang chose a younger and thinner green sandalwood tree, and was about to cut it down and take it back. At this moment, Yingyue rushed behind Su Tang, "Master, be careful of assassins."

Hearing Yingyue's terrified voice, Su Tang quickly turned around, and a knife blade with a cold light came straight towards her.
