When Lu San came back from the cashmere workshop and passed the vegetable shop on the street, he saw several servants helping Cui Weng collect dried winter melons, so he went over to help.
Last year, a lot of dried winter melon was dried in the county, and they were all eaten up.
The dried winter melon is really good for soup.
Just add some sliced meat and cook it in a pottery jar, and the taste will be very delicious.
At the beginning of spring this year, the price of dried winter melon in their shop had increased, but there were still people willing to spend money to buy it.
I heard that many farmers are planting winter melons in the deserted Gobi Desert in the countryside this year.
They don’t care whether they can survive or not, and whether they grow well or not.
A few winter melons.
So there are a lot of winter melons in Changle County this year and they are cheap.
The government-run vegetable shop in the county receives from late summer to autumn.
Inside and outside the courtyard, there are baskets woven with tamarisk, one basket after another.
It’s all dried winter melon.
There are so many, I don’t know if they can be sold out.
"There are so many, I'm afraid they will be sold until next summer."
“We may not be able to sell out even next summer.”
"In my opinion, it will definitely not be sold out."
"I'm afraid we will have to eat this every day."
"well" "Although this dried winter melon is good, it can't withstand eating it every day."
"What's so good about dried winter melon?"
"It's better to use winter melon to dry it out."
I've been looking at so many dried winter melons all day long, and I've been looking at them for more than two months, and I'm tired of them all.
This isn't the end yet, there are more to come, and I don't know when I will receive them.
The empty rooms in this yard are almost full.
That night, when the county government was having dinner, the officers told Luo Yong that there were so many dried winter melons at the vegetable shop that several rooms were full.
How about collecting so much this year?
Well, if there are more, there won’t be room to put them.
"If there's no place to put it, eat some first."
Magistrate Luo said. "" All the officers: They had expected that these dried winter melons would end up in their own stomachs sooner or later, but they didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
Early the next morning, a servant came over from the vegetable shop carrying a big bag of winter melons.
The freshly dried winter melon has a delicate fragrance, and it smells better when carried on the shoulder.
Even the whole room of dried winter melon I saw in the vegetable shop looked a bit sad.
In the morning, these officers worked hard and patrolled.
They were relatively free for the past two days.
They would be busy when they started collecting taxes in two days.
I heard that the saint is going to send corvee in Hexi this year, and the official document from the court has not been released yet.
I don’t know whether it is true or not.
If it is really going to be sent out, then many people will not have to pay the mediocrity in the mediocrity tune, and they can just replace the mediocrity.
First of all, it depends on how many civilians the court wants.
After all, it is necessary to gather them first.
I don’t know what the saint is asking them to do by issuing these corvees this year.
There are rumors that the post road is to be paved with cement roads.
This work is not too heavy and it shouldn’t be too far from home.
If they are going to build the Great Wall, then The farther away, the harder it is.
If you go mining, it will be too hard.
The officers were walking in the city for the past two days, and people often asked them about this matter.

How could they know about it?
Even the magistrate of Luo County didn't know about it.
The reason why the people in the city inquired about this was mostly to make a calculation, whether it was more cost-effective to lose mediocrity or to lose the war.
There are also some who are very timid.
They are afraid that if an official document comes down, they will be forcibly arrested and go mining.
Although their families have money, if the government wants people to give up money, what can they do?
In the past two days, there have been some rumors on the streets, saying that the saint wanted to build weapons on a large scale, but there was a shortage of iron in the warehouse, so he wanted to set up a large-scale corvee and ask people to dig iron.
Luo Yong only found it funny when he heard that the emperor was short of iron, and how could he let the common people in the small border town of Changle County know?
The Bai family had written him a letter before, saying that a few days ago, the saint mentioned in the court that he wanted to build a cement road in the Hexi Corridor, and most of the officials in the court opposed it.
Because the Hexi Corridor has a sparse population and little output, building this road is just a waste of money, and don’t expect it to produce any economic benefits.
You need money to run a country.
In the past two years, there have been floods in Henan.
I don’t know how much money was spent on disaster relief.
There are wars on the border from time to time.
Do you need money to raise troops?
Do you need money to fight?
The Turks have become restless recently.
Some people in Xue Yantuo in the north are also ready to make a move.
At this juncture, they are spending money to build roads in Hexi.
At that time, someone in the court even said such harsh words: "The saint has forgotten what happened in the previous court."
What happened in the previous dynasty was that Yang Guang went too far, which made the people in the world miserable, and the great country was ruined by him.
It's just a concrete road.
With the current national power of the Tang Dynasty, such words are too much.
Some officials in the court are like this, always citing the lessons of previous dynasties.
But Luo Yong felt that among those who opposed road construction, those who were at odds with Luo Yong must have shouted loudest.
He didn't know what the others thought.
In short, Regardless of how righteous these people speak, in fact many of them have their own agenda.
There was a turmoil in the court, with forces from all sides competing, and nothing would be simple there.
I just don’t know if the emperor can bear it this time and build their cement road in Hexi.
Since the emperor wanted to plan for the Western Regions, he definitely wanted to build the road to Hexi.
It's good to build roads.
If you want to get rich, build roads first.
Look at how prosperous Mengmenguan on Hedong Road is now.
"County magistrate, do you want to peel these green onions?"
Changle County Government Office, it was almost noon, and it was almost time for lunch.
All other meals had been prepared, except for the last one, which the county magistrate wanted to give him personally.
At this time, an old woman was pointing at a handful of spring onions and asking how to use them.
Luo Yong looked at the peeled green onions in the basin, made a rough estimate, and said: "That's enough, that's it."
A younger woman took the pot of green onions and washed them.
There were people cutting dried winter melon over there.
Magistrate Luo asked them to cut the dried winter melon into small pieces after soaking in water.
There was not much fuss about it, just like chopping turnips.
On this autumn day in the county government compound, Magistrate Luo was sitting on a stool that the women had brought for him, instructing them on how to make a new dish, braised dried winter melon with soy sauce.
In the past two days, the government officials in the county had been telling him not to harvest any more winter melons.
If he harvested any more, he would not be able to sell or eat them all.

Luo Yong ran to the vegetable shop and was shocked.
Come on, those sacks of dried winter melon are almost piled up to the beams of the house, and there are more than one house.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City But how can we do this without harvesting winter melons?
Many farmers in the countryside still sell winter melons in exchange for some money.
Luo Yong rummaged around in the space for a long time, and finally he found a new way to eat dried winter melon.
"Put some oil in the iron pot first."
"right."
"Add onions."
"Keep the onion leaves first and put them later."
Infinitely good writing is available in Jinjiang Literature City "It's time to add the meat."
"It's okay if there's no meat on weekdays.
This lard already has the smell of meat."
"The meat is almost fried, it's time to put in the dried winter melon."
"Let's put this much in first, and fry the rest in another pot.
As the saying goes, rice in a big pot and food in a small pot.
There are only dozens of people eating in our county government office.
Don't try to save trouble.
Just divide the frying into as many pots as you need.
Wok stir fry” "Here."
The women responded while cooking.
As for the common saying about rice in a big pot and dishes in a small pot, they had never heard of it.
Maybe it was a saying from Hedong Road or Chang'an City.
When the dry winter melon in the pot became fragrant, Luo Yong asked them to add the sauce.
There are also many details about this sauce.
Today I use this kind of sauce to braise dried winter melons.
If I want to eat cucumbers tomorrow, I will use another kind of sauce.
If I want to eat pancakes and fried noodles with soy sauce, it will be a different sauce.
These women had never seen so many kinds of sauces before, but now they are good.
The vegetable shop in their county sells all kinds of sauces, and the prices are not very expensive.
When it was time to eat at noon, as soon as the officers entered the courtyard, they smelled a strong aroma.
"There is meat at noon today."
These people are very happy.
It's not winter yet, and the local meat price in Changle County is quite expensive.
Recently, they, the county magistrate, have been complaining about poverty all day long, and they are unwilling to spend money to buy meat. eat.
This is how their poor place is.
Take the matter of eating meat as an example.
When there is a drought, they die of drought and when there are floods, they die of waterlogging.
"What kind of meat is this?"
On the other side, a woman who was cooking was waving a big spoon to prepare meals with the officials and their families who had arrived early.
The servants gathered around to take a look at the meat dish for lunch today.
It doesn't look like meat.
Infinitely good literature, all in Jinjiang Literature City "You will know after you have eaten," the woman said with a smile.
"It's actually dried winter melon."
How could I not recognize it after dealing with these dried winter melons all day long?
"The taste is not bad."

"It seems to have a bit of meaty flavor."
"There is meat here, but you haven't eaten it."
"No."
"Yes, please look carefully."
"Oh, here it is, that's it."
"Even if this is good, it doesn't matter what time of year it is."
"If we hadn't heard that the merchants from Gaochang were coming, we wouldn't have been able to eat this meat." "" That afternoon, Cui Weng and his two grandchildren were cutting winter melons and drying them in the courtyard.
Several officers saw them when they passed by and went to help.
Although the taste of this dried winter melon is a little different from meat, if you add some sauce and simmer it, it can barely pass as a meat dish.
You can count on it during this period before winter.
