Chapter 110 Delicious Food
When I woke up again, except that I caught a cold from the cold wind at night, there seemed to be no difference.

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Chen Mu talked too much, and let Chen Mu sit on the couch and think for a long time, and finally remembered that Li Dan said that Fanyi set up a artillery factory in Macau.

But for the time being, Chen Mu is not able to think about what happened in Haojingao, he has more important things to do.

training.

Bai Yuanjie once said that Dan Min is the best navy, and Chen Mu deeply believed it.

After discussing with the Dan people personally, Chen Mu decided not to provide housing for the Dan people for the time being, and let them live on the boat according to the old tradition in the past for a short time, and handed over the Modaomen waterway area to them for fishing, but also To undertake corresponding obligations.

In addition to one Qijun Zhengding, each household has to send out another Yuding to farm and farm on the shore, so that others can have the right to fish on the water.

Danmin has no possibility of not agreeing, because this is not a reasonable era at all.

Chen Mu has no reason to treat his soldiers badly. He spread out his idea and told the elders of the Dan ethnic group that when the bandits in Huangliang are removed, he can hand over the coastline to them to raise mussels and fish. Handicrafts, such as fish gelatin and pearls, were bought by the guards at low prices; half of the fish and meat were handed over to the guards to support the banner troops.

Chen Mu is still in charge of the formation, but since Deng Zilong and Sun Ao returned, he has been able to share part of the pressure for him, so even if there are nearly [-] more banner troops, the number of drills has actually decreased.

Monk Tianshi taught guns and spears, Long Junxiong served as the swordsmanship instructor, Shi Qi taught each bird gun flag to practice firearms, and Deng Zilong practiced formation orders. The daily practice of the guards is no longer a problem.

In the daily operation of the guard, Fu Yuan led troops to patrol the jurisdiction and set up checkpoints to prohibit smuggling; Sun Ao, the deputy thousand household, was also in charge of logistics such as warehouses in addition to participating in daily drills.Qianshi Xiaobalang and Sun Ao are together, nothing else, just be a little eye.

For the time being, Deng Zilong is in charge of one more Baihusuo, which is a soldier for Shao Tingda who is going to Yuegang. He plans to let Shao Tingda follow Deng Zilong's subordinates in the future.

Master Chen Jun is also in charge of logistics.

"How did you come?"

Qi Zhengyan walked into the front hall from outside the yamen with a smile. Chen Mu sent him to drive a clipper boat to take Yu Ding's fishing boat to patrol the river. The protection that is better than nothing is secondary. To get acquainted with Fuchuan.

Although the plan did not plan to start a naval battle with Fanyi merchants, but after all, it is impossible to guard the three-acre land of Haojingao without knowing how to operate a ship and fight.

Since sooner or later the navy will be drilled, it is better to let the flag army familiarize themselves with their warships and the weapons on them.

"Hey, Qianhu." Qi Zhengyan walked to Chen Mu with a playful smile, glanced outside the yamen, and whispered: "The shopkeeper Xiaoyan is here."

Shopkeeper Xiaoyan, needless to say, must be the little girl Yan Qingyao, but Chen Mu didn't find her, "What is she here for? Don't you want to look at the store?"

"Didn't you say that you want to buy a batch of pigs, sheep and chickens for the army to raise? The little one doesn't know anyone in Guangcheng, so I just asked the drum belly building to do it for me. Isn't this the shopkeeper Xiaoyan who brought the pigs and sheep to him today?" Come some."

Qi Zhengyan said: "I happened to meet them at Hebo, so I asked them to bring them on fishing boats. We have a lot of boats, and it's faster to go by water."

Hebo is located in the outskirts of the southwest corner of Guangcheng. It is a small organization that collects fish taxes. Their chief officer is on the same level as Ambassador Zhu Xiang, but because Zhu Xiang is directly under the Chief Secretary, he is the subordinate unit of Ambassador Ku.

Yan Qingyao!
Chen Mu shook his head and smiled, put down his pen, got up and walked out, saying: "I see, you go back and take the boat to patrol the river. Remember my instructions, don't rely on the number of people to conflict with the inspectors. If there is anything you need to help, you can help, and it is a little effort."

"Hey! I know, that little one has gone!"

It was not easy for the inspection department. There were few people and many things.Big thieves can't be caught, little thieves can't be caught, there are no soldiers or boats, and the position is awkward.

"Hey hey hey, gentlemen, slow down, it's not easy for my slaves to drive these beasts over here, don't strangle them to death, grab your wings and don't choke your neck!"

As soon as I walked out of the Qianhu yamen, the whole Qianhu yamen looked like a big corral, and the smell of pigs and sheep was everywhere, and the feces alone had to be cleaned up after they were done.Yan Qingyao didn't show any pretentiousness, she stood cleanly on the side, dancing and asking the military household to take good care of the livestock she brought.

The military households had just left with their chickens in their arms, but Yan Qingyao was still shouting from behind: "Military masters are free, don't forget to go to Gubulou to buy wine!"

"Thousands of households are forbidden to drink alcohol!"

Chen Mu stood behind Yan Qingyao, and a group of military households hurriedly drove the livestock away, and the movements of the hands that did not leave were much faster.

In fact, the Qianhusuo is not completely forbidden to drink alcohol. In the decree compiled by Chen Mu, only the flag soldiers are allowed to drink alcohol during the ten-day rotation, and others will be punished for drinking alcohol.

He just wanted to tease the little girl.

"what!"

Yan Qingyao was taken aback by Chen Mu who suddenly appeared behind him, jumped up and took two steps back to see clearly that it was Chen Mu who saluted angrily, and said crisply: "Master Chen is so elusive. "

God you big head ghost!

"How many pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks are there?" Chen Mu took a rough look, but still couldn't count the number. Some of the livestock had already been taken away by the army. Here comes the cooked beef."

Yan Qingyao changed his attire today, but he was still dressed as a tomboy, but he was no longer a shopkeeper, not a servant. He raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead, took out the account book at his waist, and opened the charcoal pencil wrapper while writing down: "Daily Give them all? Twenty catties of cooked beef, half a cent a day, 12 taels a month, no wine?"

"The small shop specializes in selling wine, Mr. Jun, you let my servant buy livestock all day long..."

Chen Mu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't do it?"

"All right, all right, you are a thousand households, so you have the final say, if you don't sell wine or wine." Yan Qingyao flipped through the account book and counted for Chen Mu: "Ten big geese worth two yuan are all public; Five hundred chickens, each with a male and female; three hundred teals, each with a male and female; eight taels of water buffaloes, two taels of fat pigs, and two taels of lambs, each with ten heads of males and females; The footman who hired the cattle to drive the livestock paid three taels, and it was worth 130 taels... that's right!"

Yan Qingyao pointed to the distance and said, "The willow charcoal you want is still on the boat. It costs eight taels for a thousand catties and five cents for feet. How much is 140 taels?"

Confused by the calculations, the little girl scratched her rosy cheeks after sweating, raised her head and said, "Give January beef, 150 taels."

Chen Mu nodded. To be honest, this little girl was taught really well by the matchmaker. She could calculate with the account book at the same speed as his mental arithmetic. She said with a smile, "Let Mr. Xie give you money and send troops to send it. It's all here. Let's go after eating in the yamen."

"You have thousands of households, there must be delicious food to eat."

Yan Qingyao happily entered the Qianhu yamen, but saw Chen Mu sitting next to the plan in the side hall, spread his hands and said, "Who do you expect to cook? I don't know how to cook, shopkeeper Yan, let the military master try it." your craft."

Yan Qingyao patted the handrail angrily, stood up and took two steps back, then turned around and asked, "Can I leave?"

Chen Mu shook his head.

"Where is the kitchen?"

Chen Mu laughed: "Go west and walk 55 steps, please!"
-
Prices are from "Wanlihui Records" and "Wanshu Miscellaneous Notes", but most of them are prices in the Wanli period, which may not be accurate enough.

　Beef in the Ming Dynasty has gradually withdrawn from high-class banquets, and only beef tongue is left. I don’t know why beef is such a good thing, and the price in the records is actually cheaper than pork and mutton... As for eating beef, Believe me!

　　Hai Rui's mother bought two catties of beef for her birthday.
