- On the cement road from Suzhou to Songhu, Emperor Hongzhi's motorcade was driving slowly. Emperor Hongzhi admired every bit of the Jiangnan water town with great interest.
Emperor Hongzhi, who grew up in Beijing, had never been to Beizhili. All he saw were the customs and customs of the north. This was the first time he came to the south of the Yangtze River and saw the scenery of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. Fresh.
"Stop!"
With the order from Emperor Hongzhi, the motorcade pulled over and parked slowly.
Emperor Hongzhi got out of the car and looked at everything in front of him with interest.
The water town in the south of the Yangtze River is a land of dense rivers and criss-crossing rivers. It is a land of plenty and has been a land of prosperity since ancient times.
It is autumn at this time, and the rice fields are golden. In a while, the rice will be harvested. You can see farmers busy in the fields, digging drainage ditches to drain away the large amounts of water in the rice fields. The remaining water will be used for harvesting in autumn.
"Fellow, how is the harvest this year?"
Emperor Hongzhi came to a farmland and asked the busy farmers with a smile.
"To tell you the truth, it's okay, it's okay~"
Farmer Zhu Zhu stopped what he was doing, looked at Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin in front of him, and looked at the many servants following around him, and he quickly said respectfully.
"Do you use machines to purchase rice?"
Emperor Hongzhi pulled out a rice ear and looked at it carefully and asked.
¡°We have mostly paddy fields in the south, and the fields are scattered and small, so they are not suitable for using machines. We basically still use sickles to purchase rice.¡±
The old man Zhu replied.
"Wouldn't it be much slower to use a sickle?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the rice fields in front of him. It seemed that it was really not suitable for large-scale use of machinery.
¡°That¡¯s something that can¡¯t be helped, so the slower it is, the slower it will be.¡±
"So, today's young people have all gone to the city and are no longer willing to farm."
Old man Zhu said helplessly.
¡°Aren¡¯t young people farming anymore?¡±
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he asked again to confirm.
"Yes, who among the young people will farm now?"
24378 You can't produce much grain from an acre of land, and you can't sell it for much money. If you work in the city, you can earn just a few taels of silver a month, and you can't eat that much grain in a year."
"Besides, this kind of farming is very hard. You are bent over, hunched over, and exhausted. Naturally, young people don't want to farm."
Old man Zhu nodded and said.
"That's true, it's just that no one is planting in this land. What will everyone eat from now on?"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded after hearing this, and then said worriedly
"Oh, our Ming Dynasty doesn't have to worry about food now, there are plenty of places to grow food."
¡°Liaodong, Hezhong, Nanyang, and Huanghuangzhou are some places where grain is grown.¡±
"Now here in Jiangnan, our food has to be shipped in from other places, and the locally produced food is no longer enough."
Old man Zhu smiled and said: "We old men have nothing to do and eat the key grains by ourselves. Machines have been used in places where conditions permit. It is very efficient. One person can plant a lot of land."
"Judging from your accent, it seems like you are all from the north. I heard that in the north, you now use machines to farm, and one person can farm thousands of acres of land."
"Yes, there are many plains in the north, so more machines are used for farming."
"But the south of the Yangtze River has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times. It would be a pity not to grow food here."
After listening to this, Emperor Hongzhi also felt a little confused for a moment. In the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, food is now imported from other places. This change is too fast.
"What's a pity? If you don't make money from farming, then naturally there will be fewer people farming. When you make money from farming, naturally more people will farm."
This time .com Zhang Si. Old Man Zhu smiled and shook his head. At this moment, several big crabs emerged from the rice fields. When Old Man Zhu saw them, he no longer cared about chatting with Emperor Hongzhi and hurriedly caught them.
After catching it, he tied it up with weeds. While tying it up, he said, "Times are changing so fast. In the past, food was so precious. I wished I could plant rice on all the land."
"This crabCrabs, no one ate them in the past. Only poor people would catch crabs and eat them. "
"But now, these crabs are getting more and more expensive. This small crab can now be sold for more than ten cents each, which is enough to exchange for several kilograms of rice."
When Liu Jin heard what Old Man Zhu said, he immediately looked carefully at the crab in his hand.
¡°Isn¡¯t this the famous hairy crab in later generations?
"This crab sells for more than ten cents?"
Emperor Hongzhi widened his eyes slightly and looked at the crab in his hand. The river head was not that big, but one could be sold for more than ten cents.
"Isn't that right? This is the hairy crab, a specialty of our Jiangnan region. Now is the season when hairy crabs are at their most plentiful. Everyone in the city loves to eat them. We can harvest as much as we can."
"Someone specializes in catching hairy crabs and selling them. They can sell them for two or three taels of silver a day."
"Henhen, old man, I can't make as much money from selling crabs even though I'm farming now."
Old man Zhu carefully put the crabs into a bamboo basket, and there were already several crabs in it.
"Look, this is my harvest today. It can be sold for more than 100 yuan. When there were many of these things, they were everywhere, but now they are getting less and less. There is not enough for the people in the city."
He also proudly showed his harvest to Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin.
"What can you eat with this crab?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the crab in front of him, thought about it and said.
Control the big one and control the owl. "For this crab, the main thing is to eat the crab roe. The crab roe is extremely delicious and the crab meat is extremely sweet."
"Actually, not only has the value of this crab exploded, but the prices of all kinds of river seafood have also increased significantly. Even ordinary things like snails, how could anyone want them in the past."
"Nowadays, a pound of snails can be sold for several pennies, and they are still in the shell. It is said that people in the city want to eat any supper at night, and snails are now one of the most popular supper."

"Well, I haven't even seen what this snail looks like."
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi immediately smiled and said.
"This is the snail~"
When old man Zhu heard this, he opened another basket and took out a few snails to show to Emperor Hongzhi. This man really had never even seen snails.
"The prices of snails, eels, loaches, and crabs have all increased significantly now. Things that no one wanted before are becoming more and more expensive. There are people who come to buy them and then sell them to Songhu."
Old man Zhu said to Emperor Hongzhi with his fingers. 强牺 lingshufang.com 读牺
"It seems that when we get to Songhu, we must grow these snails, eels, and crabs to see what they taste like. They are getting more and more expensive."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said to Liu Jin. At this time lingshu*fa*ng.co*m* Zhang Si
¡°It¡¯s a must-try, it¡¯s said to taste pretty good.¡±
Liu Jin also nodded and said, as a northerner, these things are naturally not available. After all, the transportation conditions in ancient times were limited, and these things were not available in the north.
After chatting with the old man for a while, Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin continued to rush to Songhu.
In the evening, we finally arrived in Songhu.
Naturally, we had to go to Wangjiang Tower, the most famous restaurant in Songhu, for dinner. The dishes we ordered during the day were of course eel, crab, snail, loach, etc. At the same time, Songhu was close to the sea, so there were all kinds of food. There are also many kinds of seafood. Liu Jin comes from a later generation, so he is naturally more familiar with these, so he ordered a lot of seafood by the way.
"Hmm~"
"This crab is really good, and the crab roe is really amazing!"
Emperor Hongzhi tasted the crab roe of the hairy crab and immediately praised it. It will gain great fame in later generations. This hairy crab is definitely not a big deal, but the taste is really extremely delicious.
This Wangjiang Restaurant is the most famous restaurant in Songhu. The chef is the best at cooking these Jiangnan dishes. The crab meat and crab roe of the hairy crabs are carefully selected, and paired with rice and other ingredients to make a pot of crab rice. The taste is truly outstanding.
"Well, it is indeed delicious!"
Liu Jin tasted it carefully and couldn't help but nod. When it comes to eating, Jiangnan people are the best. Of course, the Cantonese food of later generations is also very good.
