Longshou Village is now a well-off model village in Shaanxi and a model village for supporting the army. It has a row of mills, mainly producing military rations.

Su You came here this time, firstly to take Shi Wei out to relax, and secondly to inspect the industries in Longshou Village.

The so-called military rations include staple food and non-staple food.

There are three kinds of staple food. One is mainly millet and wheat. It is spread on an iron pan and scraped with a wooden stick. In fact, needless to say, it is the pancake of later generations.

Pancakes are available at this time. During the Chinese New Year, wealthy people in Weizhou will sweep out the garbage, pile it up in the thoroughfare, and cover it with seven pancakes. This is called "giving away the poor".

However, pancakes are a bit unfriendly to Su You, who grew up eating rice. Su You himself feels that these pancakes are chewier than Huobianzi beef.

So there is another staple food - naan.

This stuff has been fermented and has crispy hollows. The texture is more comfortable than pancakes. It can also be eaten in soup, which is also very convenient.

Both items can be stored for a long time. For example, if the naan is baked and dried, it can be stored for a year.

There is another kind of fried noodles. It took Su You a lot of effort to create this recipe by adding and subtracting the fried noodles recipe that he got from the mountain craftsmen in later generations and the brothers of Xuntian Master Dao.

Later generations of volunteer soldiers each had a fried noodle bag and could fight in Korea for half a month without supplies. This was also a good thing.

Now that there is hydraulic equipment, Suyou's requirements are of course more than this. Shangzhou is trying to use fried noodles to make compressed military rations.

The non-staple food mainly consists of fish and meat. In addition to the daily salted meat and fish, Su You also spent a lot of thought on how to make the food preserve well and taste delicious.

For example, oily meat is suitable as military ration, but it consumes a lot of fuel.

Small intestine has been classified as a strategic material. Sheep small intestine has been processed and is the best wound suture; pig small intestine is the best casing material for making sausages and ham sausages.

The ham sausage sounds nice, it has spices added to it, and it tastes very good. In fact, it is just filled with mixed meat sauce mixed with flour and leftover scraps. It is considered a waste product.

The non-staple food industry in Longshou Village focuses on canned food.

The can is a rough clay pot with only a ring of enamel hanging on the mouth to facilitate sealing.

The lid is made of tin-plated iron, with a thin layer of Eucommia film padded inside.

This thing cannot replace rubber, but it has rubber properties at high temperatures, so it can be used to seal cans.

The same equipment can be used to make canned fruits and fish in sugar water in Sichuan; in Shaanxi, it must be canned meat of all kinds.

At present, Longshou Village mainly serves three types of braised beef, braised mutton, and pork with pickled vegetables.

Prepare the ingredients, add them to the clay pot, put them on the big pot to steam, then screw on the lid removed from the boiling water and continue to steam for a quarter of an hour. After cooling, the bulging lid will be sucked down.

In fact, Su You likes to eat canned food like this, especially lamb chops. The canned food is steamed under high pressure, and even the bones are crispy.

The men in the army also loved this. Anyway, Su You had never seen anyone spit out the bones after eating canned meat.

Glancing into the steamy canning workshop, Su You quickly turned around.

The female workers in the workshop were dressed sparingly and wore cotton-backed leather gloves. They lowered their heads and were busy, and did not even notice anyone peeping at the door.

Coming to the packaging workshop again, Su You was very satisfied with the production scene in Longshou Village and said to Old Man Feng: "How much income can this factory bring to the village in a year?"

Old Man Feng's face was bright red: "I haven't even congratulated Tan Hua Lang yet. Xiao Guan has won a great victory. I have done this to make the summer dogs cry for father and mother. In a few months, when the little master is born, it will be a double happiness."

Su You smiled and said: "Old Feng, you have received and sent off many times, and you have learned how to express yourself."

Old man Feng kept saying he didn't dare: "Our canned goods are not expensive, one hundred cents for beef, fifty cents for mutton, and thirty cents for pork."

After saying this, he burst into laughter and said, "But I can't stand how big the quantity is! And there's soup and water, so the profit is really quite big. This year, every family has distributed more than a dozen strings, and the rest will be kept as a book. We'll make two more

Come out of a workshop."

"Master Tianshen, if you didn't do this, you wouldn't know that Tokyo beef and mutton are so expensive! I asked why Tokyo businessmen like to sell beef and mutton. It turns out that the price of meat there is several times that of ours!"

Su You said: "Just like this, you can still get beef if you want it. In all counties in Kaifeng, the government will be responsible for the death of cows at home. By the way, this year Longshou Village will resume taxation. It's time to pay off the debt you owe to the Yamen."

"

Old man Feng was unhappy: "I wanted to pay it two years ago. I thought I still owed money and food to the government, but there was a lot of food at home. I felt so empty."

"I went to the county to inquire, and they said that the officials exempted Weizhou from money and food for four years, and it will be completed this year. I heard that the two queen mothers set up a charity fund, and the little old man wondered if..."

Su You rolled his eyes at him: "Come on, I haven't even put on the silk yet to think about this. Wait a few more years! The imperial court has ordered us to set up a school. Is there a primary school in the village?"

Old man Feng nodded: "Yes, yes, our village is different from Niuwan next door. We invited Mr. Shuzhong!"

"Oh?" Su Youlai became interested: "Let's go and have a look!"

The primary school is the best house in the village. "Everything is of inferior quality, only reading is good." This is something engraved in the bones of Song people.

A young scholar was correcting his homework in the small study. When he saw Su You approaching, he stood up quickly and said, "Bachelor Wei Jiang, I have met the bachelor."

He speaks Bianjing Mandarin, with a hint of Shu accent in his accent.

Su You smiled and said in Sichuan dialect: "The local accent has not changed. I know you. You are in the first batch of work teams, right?"

Shi Wei pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Wei Jiang was in the first batch of work teams, or the first group. At that time, he lived in the mill beside the canal and worked on machinery. There was a beautiful girl who brought him food every day..."

Su You was happy: "I guess the girl's cooking was so good that she kept you Wei Jiang?"

Wei Jiang's face turned red: "We...we were in love, and stopped...we were polite. I went back to my hometown to report to my parents, and asked...a big matchmaker to marry Wu Niang..."

Su You asked: "What about your fifth wife?"

Wei Jiang said: "She went to the field. After the wheat field grew, there were rabbits in the field. She went to chase the rabbits."

A girl is chasing rabbits. I guess this fifth lady is also aggressive, so maybe she was the one who took the initiative to chase Wei Jiang.

Su You smiled and said: "Rabbits need to be trapped. Are there many? If there are more, I will get a few."

Shi Wei pulled Su You's sleeve: "Gather blessings for the child..."

Su You swallowed a sip of saliva: "Rabbits harm the wheat fields, resulting in a reduction in grain production. If grain production decreases, people will starve. We are here to eliminate harm for the people!"

Shi Wei immediately felt that everything her husband said made sense.

The rabbit was very stupid, walking in a single lane and easy to make tricks. Su You and Zhang Qi immediately started making tricks.

The cover is very simple. A thin wooden pole is tied with a knot. There is a clamping stick above the knot. Bend the pole down and the clamp is stuck in a small arch made of a bent wooden stick.

Then put a long wooden stick on the stick, just laying it on the road where the rabbit passes, and put a looper above it. When the rabbit passes here, step on the long wooden stick, press the stick, the mechanism will open, the rod will straighten, and the rabbit will be trapped.

.

Di Yong and Wang Zhongzheng said that this kind of underhanded trick was not suitable for Yulong Naizhi and the dignified eunuch, and called the sergeants to go hunting in Liupan Mountain.

Sun Neng is the new follower, and he is extremely envious of Di Yong and the others: "Master's wife, I don't want to trap rabbits, I also want to go hunting..."

Shi Wei smiled and said: "Then you go ahead and bring my magic gun with you, just don't let others see it."

Sun Neng was immediately overjoyed. He ran to get the gun case and hung it on his horse. He jumped on the horse and said, "Brother Di, wait for me..."

When we came to the wheat field outside the village, there was indeed a little lady waving there with a long bamboo pole holding a wolf's tail.

Su You shouted: "Fifth lady, Teacher Wei asked you to go home and cook!"

The young lady was a little strange: "He cooks all the food in my house."

Su You and Zhang Qi suddenly pushed each other and pushed each other, swaying with laughter.
