Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Because of the peculiar way of raising pigs, pork cannot be served on the table of the nobles, who mainly eat mutton.So Pei Linzhi didn't understand that pork was delicious, and he didn't hunt wild boars, only sheep.If His Highness hadn't mentioned it several times, he would not have been willing to hunt wild boars, because wild boars have rough skin and thick flesh, and are almost invulnerable.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness made the pork extremely delicious, and even made tricks.

This wild boar is estimated to have grown for a long time, the meat is relatively firm, and the taste is slightly woody. Xiao Yu used the method of stewing the meat until it was soft, and made it into sauced pork. The sauce has penetrated into the meat, and the mouth is soft. fragrant.

In addition, the pork is cut into cubes, marinated and fried until it is crispy, and it is crispy when you bite into it, and it is full of salty fragrance.This method is called crispy whistle, a special snack in a certain place in the southwest, Xiao Yu had eaten it when he was traveling, and he never forgot it, and now he is eating it again.

Pig's trotters, pig's head, pig's tail and pig's tail, these seemingly useless things in the water, Xiao Yu asked someone to clean them up, and added lemongrass, star anise, grass fruit, pepper, soy sauce and other big ingredients and simmered them slowly over low heat until they were so crispy. Braised.

All in all, every recipe is delicious. Pei Linzhi was surprised that His Highness is so good at cooking: "Your Majesty has never cooked or eaten these dishes. How can there be so many recipes?"

Xiao Yu smiled triumphantly: "It's just cooking small delicacies. It has been written in books by predecessors. I just cook them according to the law. It's not difficult."

When Pei Linzhi heard him talking about cooking small fresh food, his heart moved. Does this mean that His Highness is also so handy in governing a big country?

Xiao Yu is very good at cooking fresh food, and everyone in the family is blessed with it.But he also has a little trouble, that is, the food is so delicious that he has to eat an extra bowl with the rice. Once the growing children's appetites are whetted, they can scrape off all the rice crusts.

When the Wu family lady was cooking, she smiled and said to Xiao Yu, "Mr. Xiao, if you eat like this, you will soon be unable to support yourself."

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "It's not a problem. Only when you have enough food can you grow tall and have the strength to work. If there is not enough food, tell me, and I will send someone to pound the rice." Xiao Yu would rather earn less money than watch Watching the children go hungry.

When there are too many people eating, someone has to be responsible for pounding the rice.Seeing that manual pounding of rice is too hard, Xiao Yu is thinking about making a hydraulic rice pounder, which uses drums to pound rice. It is best to realize the dual functions of irrigation and pounding rice.But he also knows the principle, and he has never done this kind of manual work, but since he knows the principle, it should not be difficult to design it slowly.

With a lot of people and a lot of strength, it took less than two days for the rice of several mu of land to be collected and dried in the yard.This time Xiao Yu has seen the wisdom of the working people. The ground of the yard is dirt, and the dirt will fall off with a bamboo broom.Before drying the rice, people brush the ground with diluted cow dung. After drying, a thin layer of husk will form, so that the dried rice does not have to worry about soil dregs.

Dry it in the sun, go to the grains, and weigh it on the scale. The yield per mu is only about [-] catties. This is still a harvest that has not suffered much from insect damage.

In the end, only more than 2000 catties of grain were harvested from the eight mu of land. If the children hadn’t come, it would be enough for their family to eat, and there would be a surplus in the three harvests a year.But now, these two thousand catties of grain are only enough for a month, and the three seasons of grain harvest in a year are not enough for half a year's ration.

It seems that we have to reclaim wasteland and plant some land, so don't waste so much labor at home.

Spring is already strong.Immediately after the rice was brought back, the ground was plowed again and the seedlings were replanted.All kinds of beans, vegetables and fruits have also been sown one after another. Spring is here, everything is verdant, and the fields are full of wild vegetables. The girls are diligent and sneak out to pick some wild vegetables to enrich the dining table. Otherwise, the vegetables grown by themselves at home will not be enough. There are so many people eating.

One day when Xiao Yu and Ji Hai came back from Zhifang, they met girls who had returned from picking mulberries. Yu'er was holding a basket of mulberry leaves in one hand and a handful of wild flowers in the other. A bee buzzed around her.Yu'er stretched out his hand and waved: "Don't follow me, it's too annoying."

Xiao Chun chuckled at the side, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiao Yu: "Teacher." Subconsciously, he hid the basket behind his back.

Xiao Yu had already seen that what she contained in her basket was not mulberry leaves, but shepherd's purse, and said with a smile, "How about picking mulberry leaves?"

Yu'er saw them and ran over happily: "Mr., second brother. Mr., do you think this is our bee?"

Xiao Yu suddenly remembered that the bees he raised had already passed a winter and half a spring, and he didn’t know what was going on. Now that the flowers are in full bloom, they must have produced a lot of honey: “It’s possible, I’ll go back and look at the beehives later, and see if they can Can't collect honey."

"Really? Then we can eat honey again?" The fish was so excited that he couldn't stop drooling when he thought of the taste of honey.The little girl hurriedly showed off her experience of eating honey last year to her friends, which aroused the envy of several friends.

Xiao Yu said: "Let's go, go back and have a look, if there is honey, I'll fry some sweet oil fruits for everyone to eat."

Yu'er excitedly shouted: "Mr., you are so kind, I love candied fruit!"

Xiao Yu went back and opened the beehive to have a look. The inside was as expected, several boards were already covered with beeswax, and the inside was filled with honey, it was ready to take honey, and the bees could be divided into boxes again.

He fiddled with it again, got a simple centrifuge bucket, and shook out the honey.The number of bees is limited, and the two beehives only produced more than two catties of honey. It is worthless to sell, and it can satisfy everyone's hunger.

So Xiao Yu asked a few girls to rush to pound glutinous rice, grind rice flour, and make sugar oil and fruit.

At dinner the next day, everyone received two fried golden-brown candied fruit and covered with honey.This sudden happiness brought tears to the eyes of many old people and children. They have never eaten such delicious food in their life. They met the best people in the world.

Xiao Yu was sitting on the table with Pei Linzhi for a meal, talking in a low voice while eating, when he suddenly heard crying, he looked up and saw a child named Niu Niu crying, crying very sad, Xiao Yu asked: "Why is Niu Niu crying?"

"He said that tomorrow we won't be able to eat such delicious fruit." The one who spoke was the little girl named Huier who was sitting next to Niu Niu. Child, her voice is thin.

Xiao Yu laughed out loud: "If you can't eat it tomorrow, don't worry about it tomorrow. Why are you crying today? Niu Niu, is the sugar-oiled fruit delicious? In the future, the family will collect honey. Whoever behaves well will be rewarded with sugar-oiled fruit. "

Niu Niu stopped crying, and quickly wiped his tears with the back of his hand: "Is there really?"

"Yes, I promise. But you have to perform well to be able to eat the sweet fruit." Xiao Yu said.

Niu Niu is very courageous: "Teacher, what is good performance?"

"Study hard, work hard, don't make trouble, and behave well."

"Then I will do well."

"Okay, then I will reward you with sugar oil and fruit. Stop crying and eat quickly."

He said this not only to Niu Niu, but also to all the children present. Those children heard that if they behaved well, they would be able to eat sweets and oils, and they all kept it in their hearts. Eat sugar and oil again.

Pei Linzhi turned to look at Xiao Yu, his eyes were extremely gentle.Xiao Yu noticed that he was looking at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei Linzhi smiled slightly: "Lang Jun is especially good at educating people."

Xiao Yu chuckled twice, turned his eyes away, don't laugh so seductively, isn't he an occupational disease: "Really? This shows that I am very suitable to be a wife. Rinzhi likes to eat sugar and oil fruits, my Here you go." He noticed that Pei Linzhi's candied fruit had been eaten, and he seemed to be a man with a sweet tooth.

Pei Linzhi said: "No, no, the gentleman can eat by himself."

Xiao Yu moved his candied fruit in front of him, lowered his voice and said, "I ate a lot when I fried it in the afternoon."

Pei Linzhi had the nerve to eat His Royal Highness's sweet oil fruit, and was about to refuse, when Ji Shan suddenly heard, "Would Mr. Xiao Lang not eat it, then let me eat it."

Pei Linzhi glared at Ji Shan, then picked up the candied fruit skewered on a bamboo stick, opened his mouth to bite off one, and brought the rest to Xiao Yu's mouth: "Lang Jun, I've eaten it, this is for you."

Seeing this, Xiao Yu took it with a smile and ate the candied fruit.

Pei Linzhi ate Xiao Yu's candied fruit, which made all the children envious. He was so happy to be able to eat another candied fruit.The teacher is really kind to Pei Langjun.

After the rice is harvested and planted, it is time to prepare the green bricks.Like burning lime, kiln digging is also required for burning blue bricks. Because water needs to be watered during the firing process of blue bricks, and because there is no high-pressure water gun, water cannot be sprayed in from the kiln mouth. When building a kiln, it is necessary to ensure that the kiln roof can be opened.

After repeated tests, Xiao Yu and his masters finally decided on the design plan, because the first thing to ensure is safety. When the roof of the kiln is opened, the temperature inside the kiln is at its highest. If you are not careful, you will be burned. In any case, safety is the most important thing.

When the brick kiln is fully built, the adobes are also dry. Due to the large quantity, they are divided into two kilns for calcination. The adobes are stacked in one of them, and then straw and charcoal are stuffed in. The fire is lit, and the kiln is closed when the fire is at its peak.After calcination for seven days, the kiln is opened for watering, and the top is sealed again for about five days, and the kiln can almost be released.

After the bricks went into the kiln, Xiao Yu decided to let Pei Linzhi go out to find clay, and he was going to make porcelain.The clay for firing porcelain is not enough for blue bricks, it must be kaolin.I just don't know if I can find it on the island. If I can't find it, I have to buy porcelain, but the cost is too high, and he can't support such an investment at present.

However, Pei Linzhi was hesitant to leave. The length of time he will go out this time is uncertain, but he will definitely not be back in a short time. He is worried about Xiao Yu, but this time he really can't take Xiao Yu with him. There are a lot of things going on at home. Waiting for him to decide.

Pei Linzhi said: "Let Ji Shan go. He can dig some soil and come back. It shouldn't be difficult. None of us have seen clay before, so we can only dig different soils and try."

Xiao Yu thought for a while: "That's fine, I'll talk to Ji Shan." The biggest problem now is that there are a lot of people in the family, but there are not many who can be used, so they can only rely on Pei Linzhi for everything, but there is only one Pei Linzhi, how can he do anything? It's time to train manpower if things can be taken care of. If you don't let them try, you will never do it.

Xiao Yu told Ji Shan about this matter, and even if Ji Shan agreed, he always wanted to help Xiao Yu with something, but Xiao Yu never arranged anything for him, so he had to go fishing to feed the family.Now that Xiao Yu finally sent him a mission, how could he be unwilling? Isn't it just looking for soil, it's not difficult.

But Xiao Yu knew that this matter was no small matter, he could not just dig it back, but if he found the right one, he had to go back and dig again.He called Ji Shan and told him one by one, Ji Shan was not very literate, Xiao Yu planned to let Ji Hai go with him, collect soil samples in a place, and write down the name, so that he can go back and look for it later.

Ji Hai's literacy is not too high, but he is still much better than his brother, but after leaving, his courses will take a lot of time, so he can only make up for him later.

Before Ji Shan left, Min Chong suddenly came to Xiao Yu and said that he could help find Nian Tu.

This was the first time Min Chong asked to do something on his own initiative, Xiao Yu was overjoyed.These days, Min Chong has been taking care of his body, he hardly participates in family affairs, and Xiao Yu has never arranged tasks for him, after all, they are considered partners.

Xiao Yu asked cautiously: "Is Master Min already in good health?" It has been almost three months since he was injured. From the outside, he is fine, but after all, the injury is so serious, Xiao Yu really dare not It made him tired, and sailing required a particularly strong physical fitness.

Min Chong said indifferently: "It's okay, it's ready. Besides clay, don't you need anything else?"

Xiao Yu said: "If possible, bring some more stones back for me. We don't want the common stones here. You can bring some special stones that are not common, such as white or colored ones. If you can't find them, you can also It doesn’t matter, you don’t have to force it.” In addition to the clay used for firing porcelain, he also wanted to find some glaze materials. After the pottery is glazed, it will be considered real porcelain when it is fired. If there is no mineral glaze, plant ash can also be used as glaze, but in that case , is ordinary black porcelain.

Min Chong gave an expressionless "hmm".

Min Chong is going to find clay, so Ji Hai doesn't need to follow him, because Min Chong can read and write, so he only asks Ji Shan to go out with him.

Xiao Yu also went to borrow a cart and used Pei Linzhi's horse to pull it for them.Even though Pei Linzhi was distressed, he didn't say anything, after all, so much soil couldn't be brought back with his hands.The bullock cart is also not suitable, the speed is too slow.

Two days later, after making all the preparations, with dry rations and money ready, Min Chong and Ji Shan drove the carriage and went out to look for clay.

After Min Chong left, Pei Linzhi brought several young people from the village into the mountain and brought the sow and piglets back to Xiao Yu.Sows with piglets are usually very irritable and have amazing fighting power, which makes people frightened.But Pei Linzhi still easily knocked the sow unconscious, and asked someone to help, in order to ask someone to carry the pig back.

So the piglet that Xiao Yu had been thinking about for a long time finally found its place. There were nine piglets in that litter. In the future, he could keep the breeding pigs and breed them himself, so that there would be pork to eat.Domestic pigs were originally domesticated from wild boars. If wild boars have been raised for a long time, they will gradually become domestic pigs.

In order to raise pigs, Xiao Yu specially built a pigsty instead of the one-piece structure of the toilet and pigsty of ordinary people. He wants to eat clean pork.From then on, Yu'er and the little girls had another job of hunting pigweed.

Xiao Yu began to tinker with his dual-purpose drum cart for pounding rice and irrigation, and specially invited a master carpenter to come over to help.Xiao Yu had blueprints, and the master had skills, and the two began to cooperate in making bobbin carts and drum carts.

During this period, the brick kiln was opened for watering, and a large amount of water vapor produced by the cold water rose like a cloud when it was heated, which was spectacular and attracted many villagers who watched the excitement.

Looking at the masters splashing water hard, Xiao Yu still sighed that the design of the brick kiln was immature, and the blue bricks might not achieve the expected effect.In fact, there are no blue bricks, and red bricks are also good. They are much harder than earth bricks, and it is not a problem to use them for decades.

This day Xiao Yu was tinkering with carts by the river again.The prototype of the drum car has basically come out, and the function of pounding rice is also available. The only problem is that the drum car turns too slowly, and the efficiency of pounding rice is surprisingly low. It needs to be improved.

The master carpenter is not here, he has something to go back home these two days, only Xiao Yu is thinking about it.He looked left and right, where is the problem?He even climbed on the bobbin car to see the problem.

Ji Hai, who was picking mulberry leaves by the stream, saw it and shouted in fright: "Mr., come down quickly, it's too dangerous up there."

Xiao Yu said: "It's okay, I'm holding it very firmly." But before he finished speaking, he stepped on the protruding wedge under his feet, and he fell down all at once, with only a "pop", he fell into the ground. into the stream.

"Lang Jun!" Ji Hai didn't care about the mulberry leaves anymore, he jumped off the tree and dived into the water to save people.

At the same time, Pei Linzhi, who came back from Zhoucheng, also happened to come to look for Xiao Yu, and happened to see him fall into the water. His heart felt like cramps, and he rushed over like a lightning bolt, and jumped into the water: "Mr., Mr.!"

Xiao Yu can swim, but falling from such a high place directly stunned him.Fortunately, they dug this section of the stream deep to accommodate the bobbins, so they didn't really hit anything.

Ji Hai hugged Xiao Yu tightly, and lifted him out of the water: "Mr. Sir! Are you alright, Mr. Sir?" His voice sounded like weeping.

"Lang Jun! Lang Jun!" Pei Linzhi also arrived. He took Xiao Yu from Ji Hai's hand, jumped ashore with him in his arms, put him on the ground, and patted Xiao Yu's face with his hand, "Mr. Awake."

Ji Hai then climbed up, knelt down beside Xiao Yu, and cried, "Master, I don't think I like Mr. Lang."

Pei Linzhi stretched out his hand to sniff Xiao Yu's breath, and heaved a sigh of relief: "Your Majesty is still breathing, he is not dead. I will take him to see a doctor." After speaking, he picked him up and ran towards Zhoucheng .

Ji Hai hurriedly followed, but couldn't keep up with Master's footsteps at all.

Pei Linzhi was sweating profusely. He only hated that he had lost two legs, and also regretted letting Min Chong ride away. If something happened to Mr. Lang, what should he do.

Xiao Yu was jolted by him for a while, then suddenly coughed, protruding a mouthful of water, woke up and turned around, and found that he was being carried by Pei Linzhi and was on his way, so he called out, "Rinzhi?"

Pei Linzhi's body was shocked, he stopped and looked down: "Mr. Lang!" Tears welled up in his eyes involuntarily.

Xiao Yu coughed a few times: "Did I fall off the bobbin?"

Pei Linzhi sniffed, then knelt down on the ground, but did not relax his arms, but hugged him tightly: "Yes, who made you climb so high, you scared me to death!"

Xiao Yu was so strangled that he was almost out of breath, and he sneered: "Mistake, mistake, I won't climb anymore. I'm fine, don't worry."

Pei Linzhi's voice was still trembling: "How can you not worry, what if you drown?"

Xiao Yu said: "Short-term drowning can also save the breath. You need to control the water first, then press the person's heart, and at the same time pass the breath to the person."

Pei Linzhi asked: "How to cross the breath?"
