Traveling through time with a house, I teach people all over the country how to farm

It takes time to smoke bacon. Some farmers use firewood to cook, and they usually hang the bacon above the stove. In this way, the bacon can be hung for a year or even longer, and the longer the smoking time, the stronger its aroma.

After several days of hard work, the bacon from the first batch of slaughtered pigs was finally brought into the small room for smoking. The small rooms were filled with bacon, which seemed particularly dense.

However, Zheng Sisi couldn't wait too long, because she had to return to the capital soon. So she couldn't wait to go to the place where the bacon was smoked on the first day, took a few pieces of bacon that had been smoked for a few days, and carefully prepared several bacon dishes for everyone to taste.

There are fried bacon, steamed bacon and bacon hot pot, etc. After tasting them, everyone praised these delicacies and agreed that the taste of this bacon is very unique, with a hint of firewood.

Zheng Sisi was secretly happy and determined to bring more back to give to relatives and friends. The most important task of this trip to Qingshui County has been successfully completed, and she plans to return to Beijing in two days.

In the next two days, Zheng Sisi made proper arrangements for all the affairs on the farm.

Considering that the Chinese New Year was not far away and she would not have time to come to the farm before the New Year, Zheng Sisi asked Chen Zhuangtou to distribute the profits from the pig farm to the villagers. The wages and rewards for the workers in the workshop and the farm must also be distributed in place.

She also taught the techniques of making bacon to other people in the village, hoping that more people could taste this delicious food.

Zheng Sisi smiled and explained to Chen Zhuangtou: "I modified these recipes based on some recipes. You can teach these methods to other people in the village so that they can also taste the flavor of this preserved meat."

Chen Zhuangtou was grateful and said that he would do as he was told and promised to manage the village according to Zheng Sisi's requirements.

After arranging all matters, Zheng Sisi and her team returned with a full load. The cured meat, fermented bean curd and Laba beans produced on the first day were all taken back to the capital, and the rest were divided up by other contracted suppliers.

This group of merchants also admired Princess Anping very much, saying that the new products of "Weizhiyuan" were endless and convincing. They also declared that they would make a fortune with Princess Anping in the future.

Zheng Sisi returned to the capital with a few trucks of goods. As it was close to the end of the year, she counted the accounts with a few sisters every day and distributed the dividends at the end of the year so that everyone could have a prosperous year.

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month was Zheng Sisi's birthday, but only a few close family members knew about it, so everyone gathered at the Princess's Mansion that day, planning to have a happy day.

Zheng Sisi attached great importance to Laba Festival, and she felt that this festival was full of traditional atmosphere. Therefore, she asked Chen Zongguan to purchase a large amount of ingredients for cooking Laba porridge a few days in advance, and arranged for people to cook Laba porridge at the city gate and the slums in the west of the city, and provided it to the people for free.

Every year on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, people have the custom of drinking Laba porridge. Laba porridge, also known as "seven treasures and five flavors porridge", is a porridge made from a variety of ingredients. It is not only a delicious dish, but also a long-standing cultural heritage with rich meanings.

In the countryside, people prefer to drink Laba porridge, and they will also give their own Laba porridge to neighbors, relatives and friends to taste, to express the joy after the harvest. This act of sharing makes people feel warm and harmonious.

When the news spread, many high-ranking mansions in the capital followed suit. In particular, the Grand Princess Mansion and the Meng Mansion, which had been criticized by the people, also hurriedly set up free porridge stalls at various intersections in the capital in order to change the public's view of them, hoping to win the hearts of the people through such good deeds.

Unfortunately, this move did not achieve the desired effect, but instead was met with merciless ridicule from the people of the capital.

It turned out that the Princess's Mansion was well prepared this time. Not only did they provide Laba porridge to the people for free, but the ingredients were very rich and bacon was specially added to add fragrance. What's more commendable is that the porridge was carefully cooked by the cooks and had a thick taste.

The crowd that comes to receive the Laba porridge at the Princess's Mansion is not limited to beggars and ordinary people in the capital. As long as they bring their own bowls, they will get a full bowl of porridge.

Even the guards patrolling the capital were fortunate enough to taste this unique delicacy, and they all praised it highly.

In comparison, the Laba porridge provided to the people by the two governments seemed too simple due to their hasty preparations.

The porridge was watery and tasteless. The rice used to make the porridge was all old, so the color was inferior.
