Chapter 94(2/2)
Aunt Ninth stood up with her crutches: "Have you settled the matter at the ancestral hall?"
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll leave it to my grandpa's family, Mr. Lu, to take care of it."
"Ms. Lu is a good child, but her life is miserable. Her son is studying in Weixue, so he will definitely not have other thoughts."
"I don't worry about that, but the supply of cotton is a problem."
The looms all belonged to Su Ze, so he was naturally not afraid of any problems that might arise with these widowed female workers.
The most important issue now is the supply of cotton.
Regarding this problem, Aunt Jiu didn't have any good solution.
Lin Cainiang, the little carrot head, waited for the two of them to finish talking, and then said: "Brother, the sweet potato leaves have been sent to the kitchen. Can these sweet potato leaves also be eaten?"
"Yes, I'll go fry it right now."
The cooking methods of the Ming Dynasty were almost the same as those of today, and stir-frying has become a quite common method.
However, ordinary people still mainly stew, and the reason is very simple: cooking requires oil, and the poor cannot afford it.
However, the price of edible oil in the Ming Dynasty was already very affordable. There were two oil-pressing workshops in Nanping County, selling what was often referred to as "ancient oil-pressing" in advertisements in later generations.
Nanping County sells rapeseed oil. The last time Su Ze came back from the county, he also bought a pot of oil.
Sweet potato leaves are also a good food ingredient, but if the leaves are directly blanched, a protective film will form on the surface, which makes them less tasty.
But Su Ze naturally had an idea. He first rubbed the sweet potato leaves with coarse salt to remove the protective film on the leaves.
Then blanch the sweet potato leaves and start stir-frying them in rapeseed oil.
The fragrance of green leafy vegetables and rapeseed oil are mixed together. Just add a little salt to enhance the flavor, and a fresh, crispy and tender fried sweet potato leaves is ready.

Sure enough, when it was time for dinner, the little carrot head Lin Liangjun smelled the smell and entered the family temple.
"What does it smell like? It's so fragrant!"
Seeing the little carrot head about to climb onto the stove, Su Ze patted his hand and said:
"Wash your hands!"
Little Carrot Head reluctantly came to the well, rinsed his hands with well water, and quickly climbed onto the dining table.
Chang Ningwei no longer eats porridge. Su Ze has to work and study. Now that the conditions are better, he naturally cooks.
Lin Liangjun held the bowl and took a bite of sweet potato leaves. The fragrance of the vegetables mixed with the smell of fat made him hum comfortably.
Seeing how delicious he was eating, Su Ze also picked up a piece and put it into his mouth with the rice. It was indeed delicious.
The meal was eaten quickly with fried sweet potato sprouts. After finishing the meal, Su Ze pulled Lin Liangjun and asked:
"How is your brother?"
"It's pretty good. Eat when you need to, drink when you need to, and hit me when you need to hit me."
"Oh, all right."
Naturally, Lin Mojun would not tell Lin Liangjun about killing Xu Shisheng. Su Ze was relieved to hear that her mental state was stable.
"In the middle of the month, I will go to the county seat to inquire about the Qing army. You can let your brother train at home in peace."
"I understand! My brother will be relieved if Brother Aze comes forward!"
Lin Cainiang was responsible for clearing the dishes, while Su Ze returned to the room, lit the oil lamp and opened the family tree brought by time travel.
After the record on May 17th, the content of Changningwei's family tree shrank a lot. It should be that at that time and space, Changningwei's situation became increasingly difficult and there was no more energy left to continue recording everything in detail.
The following parts are the debt repayments recorded by Chang Ning Wei, as well as the content of debt collection negotiations. In short, Chang Ning Wei's situation was very miserable at that time and space, and even some military fields were taken out to pay off debts.
Su Ze flipped through a few pages and finally reached the next piece of useful information.
"On December 12, while patrolling the battlefield at the headquarters of the General Secretary, we were ambushed by Japanese pirates. The Seventh Patriarch fought bravely to defeat the enemy and sailed back, but only two or three of the ten who went out to sea could survive."
Su Ze closed the family tree. This record was seven months later. However, the world in this time and space has changed. I don't know if there will still be this order.
But the big situation is that the deer king is invading the southeast, and I am afraid that the southeast will not be peaceful.
Su Ze felt a little irritable when he thought that the Japanese pirates were raging and Yan Maoqing, the censor of the Qing army, was busy making money.
During the Jiajing period, corruption within the dynasty had spread. Ruthless officials like Yan Maoqing would try their best to exploit wherever they went, regardless of the situation in the southeast.
Su Ze sighed, his strength was still too weak.
Tomorrow, we will build a firearms workshop as soon as possible to try to produce gunpowder and lead bullets in Changningwei.
Entering the city in the middle of the month, Su Ze plans to learn a few more skills. Only by mastering more attribute points and passive skills can he feel safe in this troubled world.
Su Ze found that he could definitely learn a few more skills. He only needed to reach level 5 to earn attribute points and passive skills.
Anyway, some skills are not that difficult to master.
There seems to be a medical clinic in Nanping County. Can I learn some "medical skills" first?
What other skills can be learned?
