Chapter 518: Relief Food
"Zhen Lang! Tell me the truth, are you really going to raise livestock when you buy these locusts? Ji Bei Zhenbei stared at Zhen Qian with slightly squinted eyes, as if he was about to find clues and flaws from Zhen Qian's face. He didn't believe that Zhen Qian would be so simple, everyone was a smart person, but the words were deflated in his stomach!
Seeing that Ji Bei Zhenbei finally opened his mouth to ask, Zhen Qian pulled the two to the door of a warehouse, which was piled up with locusts of nearly a thousand stones, all of which had just been purchased in the past few days, and the smell was pungent and unpleasant at the door, but Ji Bei Zhenbei still covered his nose and walked around the warehouse, making sure that it was really all locusts, and there was no fake!
This kind of thing would be asked like this to anyone, it's too unreasonable, and you have to figure it out first.
"Follow me!"
Zhen Qian did not rush to explain, but continued to walk with the two of them on the edge of the village, and when he bypassed the warehouse, he saw a large open space, on which long bamboo sheds were built, and many women were busy under the bamboo sheds.
Kibi Zhenbei looked at it with a strange feeling, this kind of scene had not been seen before, just like there were five or six long queues lined up under the bamboo shed to work with their heads bowed, the scene was very lively, the atmosphere was very warm, and the woman's enthusiasm for work was very high, such a scene may only be seen in the harvest season!
In this era, the restraint of etiquette on women is not as perverted as the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is common for married women to show their heads, and there are no such taboos in the countryside.
Fujiwara Shuo approached the bamboo shed, a fragrance came to his nose, his eyes widened and he looked over curiously, and saw that those women were bowing their heads one by one, and what were they busy with in their hands?
"Locusts!"
Fujiwara Brush immediately had the urge to vomit again, and it tasted good, but ...... This scene is a bit .......
How so? Anyway, it looks weird, I don't know what these women are doing? There was a look of doubt in his eyes, and he covered his mouth and nose with his hands, but his heart was churning, but seeing Zhen Qian walking forward in the crowd, he followed hard.
"Fishy!"
That's right! It's a familiar smell of fish, Fujiwara doesn't dislike fish and shrimp, and he usually likes to eat them, but when he sees mountains of fish and shrimp, he still can't help but feel disgusted.
The deeper they walked into the bamboo shed, the more surprised and puzzled the two of them became, what was Zhen Qian going to do! Forget about so many locusts, as well as fish and shrimp, flour, grains, etc., in the eyes of the two, Zhen Qian became more and more mysterious.
"Could it be that these are the livestock feed that Zhen Qian said?"
Preconceived!
Fujiwara Shuxiong immediately thought of the livestock feed that Zhen Qian said, but no matter how you look at it, there is something wrong, not to mention that the production process of these is a little incomprehensible, even the raw materials used are also weird, and I don't know what words to use to describe the feeling at this time.
Ji Bei Zhenbei looked at it very carefully, as if he was afraid of losing any details, he didn't think that Zhen Qian made such a big scene for show, there must be some deep meaning.
"Feed!"
Zhen Qian walked in front, and when he heard Fujiwara Shuxiong's words behind him, he stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Fujiwara-kun might as well think about it boldly, the feed for livestock doesn't have to take so much effort!" ”
Fujiwara's mind was so startled by his own thought that he almost jumped up, "This ...... This...... Is this food? ”
Zhen Qian's teachable expression was very shameless, and he nodded very shamelessly: "It's food, but it should be called relief food!" ”
"Relief Food!"
This term is not difficult to understand, relief of course refers to those who do not have enough to eat, and relief food should be the food for the disaster victims.
Give the locusts to the victims! Fujiwara Shuxiong's brain seemed to have been knocked hard, his mind was "buzzing", and his throat was a little bitter, even more uncomfortable than eating fried locusts before.
Kibi Zhenbei tugged at his beard thoughtfully, and when he heard the relief food, his hand shook and he pulled off a few whiskers.
However, Ji Bei Zhenbei quickly reacted, remembering the locusts that Zhen Qian had invited him to taste before, as if the locusts could indeed be used as food for the victims to eat, this idea was good!
Ji Bei Zhenbei is not an old-fashioned person who is bound by common sense, but anyone who can be in a high position, with a set of Confucian etiquette on his lips, has long been dismissive in his heart, but has become more pragmatic. Just a few quick glances in the bamboo shed, I found some mysteries in the bamboo shed, locusts, fish and shrimp, grains plus a small amount of flour, etc., the food consumed is not much, if such food can be eaten by the victims, there is no taste and nutrition, as long as the victims can be satisfied.
"How effective is the relief food?"
Kibi Zhenbei really deserves to be the second-in-command of the Wa Kingdom, and being in a high position to see the problem is different from others, when Fujiwara Brush is still thinking about the production of relief food, he is already thinking about whether the relief food can help the victims.
Zhen Qian asked the two of them to look at the relief grain production line, of course, with a purpose, "Ji Beijun asked a good question, in the disaster year, the victims even had to eat bark and grass roots, and even Guanyin soil would eat when they were hungry, so I don't need to explain the results, in this case, these relief grains I made are the best food in the mouths of the disaster victims!" ”
After all, the materials used are the lowest, sorghum and cereals are rarely eaten, and the bran and bran are even more difficult to swallow, as for locusts and fish and shrimp, they are also considered meat, but the amount of relief food is too small, and it is only used as additives.
The locusts and fish and shrimp were pinched off and tailed, the bones and hard shells were removed, but they were not wasted, and the remaining part was dried and ground into powder, and then mixed with some batter made of sorghum, flour, bran, cereals, etc., steamed on a steamer, and then put into an oven to heat and dry into a piece of hard block, about a third the size of a brick, and the weight was about half a catty.
A small amount of salt was added to the relief grain, and salt was not only a daily commodity, but also a luxury. The taste of relief food is indeed not much better, but it is easy to store and transport after processing, and more importantly, after this relief grain is soaked in water, one piece can be eaten for a day, which can save many victims.
A piece of relief food is a living human life!
This is more direct than doing good deeds, Zhen Qian doesn't like the Japanese people, and he can't wait for all the Japanese people to die, but hate is hate, and the support and help of the Japanese people are indispensable in his plan, and many things are inconvenient for Zhen Qian to show up now, so let the Japanese people be happy for a while!
