Chapter 1007 Zhuangzi's Dinner
Quanzi touched his head and said, "I eat well and wear good clothes, but I can't have everything, right? What would that mean? Besides, I think this incense is pretty good, but I don't like reading. I stay in the study for no more than half an hour a day, so buying such a good incense is useless."
Looking at Zhou Guo, "Master, what kind of fragrance do you like? I'll go buy it for you!"
Zhou Guo laughed, "You're going to buy it for me? Buy this? Can you buy it?"
Quan Zi said, "Why not? Just buy the most expensive one."
Zhou Guo's food and clothes were all of the best, so when he entered the spice shop, he just bought the most expensive items.
The best one is worth dozens of taels of silver.
Zhou Guo said: "You should take care of yourself."
In the evening, Quanzi and his group gave her a formal welcome.
The table was filled with dishes that she loved, and there were even crabs on the table, but they were all male crabs.
Quanzi said, "Master, you went south last fall, and you didn't eat many crabs. Although it's not the best season to eat crabs now, you can still eat them. The southern river is different from the northern land. The thaw doesn't take that long, so it's easy to catch crabs."
Zhou Guo looked at the basket of male crabs and asked, "When did you move these crabs here? How many did you move?"
There are crabs for sale in Nanhe, but in small quantities. After the war, no one knew where those crab sellers had gone. They originally wanted to buy crab seedlings in Nanhe, but they couldn't find any, so they had to spend a lot of effort to transport them from the north.
It took great effort to move five or six thousand of them, even though half of them died on the way.
These are the seedlings from Nanhe River. In the future, all the crab seedlings from several villages will come from here.
Zhou Guo sighed and said, "Don't do this next time. Now is the time when crabs begin to lay eggs. Although we didn't catch female crabs, the existence of male crabs is natural and necessary. We still need these crabs to produce offspring and grow stronger. When there are more and more crabs in the future, and there are hundreds of thousands of crabs in each pond, you can eat them however and whenever you want."
The crabs were transported all the way here from the north. I don't know how much effort it took. If we eat one less crab, we'll have to rely on these crabs to reproduce this year.
Several villages in Nanhe are waiting.
The people below didn't dare to speak for a moment.
Quanzi smiled and said, "I see. I don't have to do this every time. You are back and I am welcoming you. These crabs have survived in the pond. Master, how many crabs do you think will be born this year?"
Zhou Guo thought for a moment and said, "Each female crab can lay hundreds or even thousands of eggs at a time. Assuming that only half of them survive to the end, there are still hundreds of thousands of eggs!"
Everyone gasped, "Then why don't the crabs in the north live that many years?"
There are thousands of crabs left in a pond in the north every year, and only a few hundred thousand crabs can survive in the end. How can there be hundreds of thousands of them?
Zhou Guo said: "Because the north is cold and the climate is harsh, we spend a lot of effort on this every year, otherwise we might not be able to achieve such a small survival rate. The weather in the south river is much better than in the north. I estimate that at least half of them can survive, and we can sell a batch in the fall. After selling a batch, we can still have a lot of seeds left for next year."
They spend a lot on this every year.
Everyone at the table was confident. "We thought it would take at least two or three years to produce thousands of crabs so that every village in Nanhe could sell crabs. But we didn't expect that it would take that long."
They also forgot that this place is different from the North.
Although he felt sad, Zhou Guo still picked up the crabs happily, and everyone took one.
Everyone happily ate the crabs. Although they were not as plump as those in autumn, they were still good.
Although there is not much paste, the meat is good and sweet.
Zhou Guo ate the crabs very slowly. During the normal crab season, he would feel a little sick of them after a while, but he missed them terribly after not having them for a long time.
This stuff is just delicious.
Qian Duo's place is too far away, and it cannot be transported here, so he can only figure it out himself.
There is no food in the military camp. When she goes south again next year, she will go to the military camp and bring back a few large baskets so that all the generals can have a taste.
Her uncle still had to maintain good relations in the military camp, and her adoptive father probably rarely got to eat.
There was a whole basket of crabs, but each person ate one and stopped. They ate a lot during the crab harvest season last year.
When they were transported here, all those that had just died or were half-dead were picked out, more than a thousand of them.
They steamed them all and ate them.
After eating it for a few days, every day, I would hide when I saw crabs.
Fortunately, they managed to eat up the crabs at the back and they were not thrown away.
Zhou Guo ate until he was about 80% full, then picked up a basket of crabs, ran outside, sat on a chair, and ate crabs while watching the setting sun.
As the trumpet sounded, dinner at the manor began.
All I heard was people shouting everywhere: "Dinner is ready, dinner is ready!!"
"Finally, dinner is served. I'm starving!"
Figures busy in the fields came from all directions. If you look closely, you can see that they are holding their bowls in their hands and happily heading towards the place where the rice is served.
Most people took the food away after getting it, and only a few stayed to eat.
She walked forward holding a crab. The workers passing by didn't recognize her, but looking at her clothes they knew they were not someone they could afford to offend, so they hurried away.
She looked at what was in their bowls, only half a bowl of lettuce leaves and slices, and a steamed bun in her hand.
Zhuangzi provided three meals a day, but there was only meat at noon. In the morning, there were two steamed buns and a bowl of porridge. At noon, there were three steamed buns and half a bowl of vegetables. In the evening, there was one steamed bun and half a bowl of vegetables.
If someone has a big appetite, he will definitely not be full.
But this amount of food is enough to keep everyone from starving. They probably can’t eat so well at home.
Many, many families only have two meals a day.
If she gives each of these people one less steamed bun, she can feed one more person.
"Oh, hurry up, hurry up, today's dishes are delicious. I got a small piece of the chicken for lunch, and I'm saving it for my wife. She's pregnant, so she needs to eat something good."
"Mine is bigger than yours. I save it for my daughter. She loves bones the most. Let her chew on it slowly. She can chew on it for a long time."
She walked past these people while chewing crabs, and went to where the rice was placed. She saw several large buckets filled with lettuce slices and leaves. She scooped half a bowl of vegetables into each bowl of rice, took one, and then walked away, waiting for the next person to take their turn.
It's almost like a military camp.
However, the food here tastes better than that in the military camp, where there are no such good dishes.
Although it wasn't much, everyone got half a bowl.
It may also be that she likes to eat lettuce, which is crispy and tender, and tastes good whether stir-fried alone or with meat.
Dusk began to fall, and the last person left with his bowl, and the meal was all distributed.
There were only a dozen or so steamed buns left in the bucket, and no vegetables at all.
This is so appropriate. The chef who is in charge of this aspect is really amazing.
