The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 649 Salt and Milk Powder
"That's right, but the reason why Tu Niu was born so well is because she is the child of another family. Although Zhong's family has good looks, they can't compare to Tu Niu's appearance. I don't know what kind of family they are. I gave birth to such a precious egg, and lost it when I was born..." Everyone started discussing happily, and hurriedly went back, looked at it several times, and then went back to have breakfast and prepare to go to work.

Now even if it's gossip, there's no time left.

In the face of serious affairs, livelihood is greater than gossip.

The villagers are busy again, living their lives in a hurry.Everyone is like this.The morning light gradually brightened, and the sun rose slowly, illuminating the whole village, with the smoke from the kitchen, which was extremely beautiful.

There is still some fog in the mountains, which is really refreshing to watch.

"Here..." Mu Zechen murmured: "...there is a beautiful scenery that will never appear in the imperial capital." He looked at the mountain behind him and said, "Is this mountain big?!"

"...not big, but there are some big beasts," Shen Sisi said with a smile: "When I was young, I often went to the mountains to pick up wild chestnuts and hunt some chickens and rabbits, and I could only live with this kind of mouth addiction. I can't eat them all year round, so my father hunts some of these small wild animals, and occasionally leaves one for us to eat, but not often, because the family is poor, and they have to go out and sell it for salt..."

"The price of a dead rabbit cannot be high. Only a rabbit and a dead pheasant can be sold for a catty of salt. It is better to say that salt is more expensive than pork, because salt is a must. I don’t eat pork all the year round, and I can’t starve to death. It’s not a problem..." Shen Sisi murmured: "In this era, salt is too expensive... The money that ordinary people eat salt for a year can eat up most of their income. not easy……"

Mu Zechen was slightly stunned, and said: "Salt and iron are major items, the foundation of national taxation, this..."

"It can always be changed in the future. If the commerce is more developed, the salt tax will not be important, and the income will increase. First, it does not cost money to buy salt. Second, the country's income will not be expected to be collected from salt, but a commercial tax will be charged instead... ..." Shen Sisi smiled and said: "...It is definitely feasible to lower the salt price at that time, but it will take a long time..."

Mu Zechen heard her talk about salt, so he nodded and said: "As long as it is feasible, it doesn't matter if it takes a long time. This is something that benefits all people. Although when that day comes, the money to buy salt now is not enough for the wealthy villagers. It’s not a big deal, but if we can reduce the cost of this industry and rectify it, all people will be blessed in the future..."

"...Well, that's what I thought since I was a child. At that time, there were basically no seasonings in the village except oil and salt..." Shen Sisi said with a smile: "It was really bitter at that time, at most I picked some from the mountains. The mushrooms are dried and ground into powder, which is used to enhance the freshness. It is reluctant to put it in the dish. It is very fresh in the soup. Otherwise, the mushrooms are directly put. However, this thing is sold more, and most of them are used for money ..."

Shen Sisi smiled and shook his head, "No way, it was too poor at that time, the income of the villagers was too limited, there were still many tenants, paying taxes and rents, there were not many left, and there were many children, and the family had less labor force, so they opened their mouths to eat. However, there are many people, and it’s hard to survive until the children are old enough to work as laborers. As a result, the children will also get married, the daughter will marry, the son will marry a wife, and it will cost more money. I can't get out, I've been struggling, and few things go well..."

Mu Zechen was also slightly taken aback when he heard this, he looked at the sunrise in the sky, and sighed, this is where all the people in the world are.I can't tell whether it's misery, happiness, or both.

"In times of famine, there are people who sell their children and daughters..." Shen Sisi said helplessly: "I was thinking of two things at the time. If I had the opportunity, I must change the salt system and develop the dairy industry. Get some milk powder, Ze Chen, you may not know how many children there are in the folk, because of poverty, the mother's body is poorly fed, there is no milk, and many children starve to death when they are poor..."

"...too cruel." Mu Zechen murmured.

"In the past life, there was a substitute, milk, or goat's milk..." Shen Sisi said in a low voice: "Many women went out to work in the previous life, and many women gave birth to children, and after four months to half a year of recuperation, they would go out to work. Their children only eat cow's milk or goat's milk, or they don't breastfeed from the beginning, and directly use whole milk powder. Therefore, I think this can also be replicated. Although the cost is high, it can be subsidized and sold to the public at a low price in the future. If they mix some rice flour and rice paste, hey, the child will be able to grow up easily, otherwise it would be too cruel, and when I think about it, I will feel very distressed..."

Mu Zechen didn't speak, looking at the morning light on the roof in the sky.Perhaps new hope is already at hand.

Shen Sisi's expression is very calm. What she has to do, what she will do, is not to just show compassion like the Buddhists do, what she has to do is to speak out this fact, and work hard to change everything.

"...I was very poor and miserable when I was young..." Shen Sisi said with a smile: "Skinny and skinny, my mother also saved a little milk from Sanbao's mouth for me to drink, so I grew up so carelessly. Thinking about it, it’s really hard, if I didn’t have this space, I would be the same as other children, growing up carelessly, raising them carelessly, maybe they are unlucky, and there are some who die halfway..."

Mu Zechen looked at her and held her hand tightly.

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "This is also a blessing. I am very lucky. If it weren't for this, I would not have met you... I live a normal life in this mountain village. I don't have the ability to forget it. Now that I have the ability, I want to change a lot of things here, do my best, as much as I can do, besides you help me, and the Four Treasures, and Chenyu..."

Mu Zechen softened his eyes and said, "Of course I will help you."

Seeing that many people in the village were eating breakfast and getting ready to go to work, he said with a smile, "I think one day, many villages in the world will be like this, living in peace, enjoying themselves, and living a happy life." Such a busy and leisurely life…”

"...Well, there is still money left over to train children and pursue their dreams," Shen Sisi said with a smile: "At least they can't be blocked. Give them this opportunity. How many people can go up is theirs." Abilities and abilities..."

After hearing this, Mu Zechen couldn't imagine such a scene, so he smiled and said, "I will always be with you from now on."

When the two walked to the center of the village, they found a large open space with a high platform on it, which looked like a stage, but it was empty now.

A child from the village came over and said with a smile: "During the Chinese New Year holidays, the village will invite everyone from the border towns to have a drink and have fun. Our master and the factory will also have a holiday, give out gifts, and have a good New Year. That's when it's really lively. Nah..."

Is this called combining work and rest? !

Mu Zechen laughed and said, "The arrangement here is pretty good..."

"The spiritual world of the villagers will not be empty, which is good..." Shen Sisi said with a smile.

"It's very advanced here..." Mu Zechen smiled, and said, "It is impossible for many places to be safe in the world like here. When so many advanced things are preserved, they can still live so leisurely..."

Stop and walk, enjoy and pursue.Otherwise, when you are too busy to get old, it will be boring to find that you have lived like this all your life.

He pondered and said: "In the past, the village was not as good as the village next door, but now our village is the first and the second. When I was young, the richest person was Wang Xiucai from the next village. I haven’t heard of it before, the rise of some new things is bound to be accompanied by the disappearance of some things, 30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, it’s really good…”

"Famous words..." Mu Zechen also laughed.

The two walked to the factory they opened at the beginning, and said with a smile, "This is the factory we built at the beginning, and the others were built later..."

The two walked in, and Wang Tuozi had already come out to meet them. He saw that the two were a little stunned, and he didn't speak for a while, but he still heard the wind, so he said tentatively: "...Yes, it's the Tu Niu. ?!"

"Uncle Wang?!" Shen Sisi smiled and said, "I'm a local girl, this is my husband..."

Wang Tuozi's happy eyes lit up, and he said, "...Tu Niu, it's Tu Niu..."

"Yes..." Seeing that he was at a loss, Shen Sisi hurriedly stepped forward to hold his arm, and said, "Uncle Wang, please sit down..."

"Ai, ai, Tu Niu has grown up so much...I heard that you came back yesterday..." Wang Tuozi said happily: "...Time flies so fast..."

The five big dogs he had raised in the concierge's cooking workshop also rushed over and barked a few times at the two, but they were stopped by Wang Tuozi again, saying: "...I don't even know my little master. , you useless..."

The five dogs were very close to Wang Tuozi, and when he scolded them, they all backed away.

It's all about scolding, but Wang Tuozi is very kind to them, he smiled and said: "...these beasts have grown so big, they don't even know the local girls, alas..."

"I haven't come back for so long, so it's no wonder I don't know..." Shen Sisi didn't care, just smiled and said: "How has Uncle Wang been these years?!"

Wang Tuozi happily brought out a small and thin child from the porter's room, but his face was bulging and a little fat. He looked at Shen Sisi without speaking, but his eyes were filled with shock.

"Call someone..." Wang Tuozi said with a smile.

However, the child's face slowly turned red, obviously shy, and shyly hid behind Wang Tuozi, refusing to speak, but kept looking at the two of them.

Wang Tuozi said helplessly: "The child recognizes his birth..."

"This is?!" Shen Sisi said in surprise.

"Thanks to Tu Niu and Uncle Zhong's family, my life is much easier now. I will be like this in this life, and I don't want to marry a wife, so as not to hurt other girls."
