After the Xu Mansion moved to the mansion on the side of the hour, it turned out that the house on the side of the Ming Shifang was empty, but the housekeeper Dabao would send the housekeeper to clean it every once in a while, as for the sweet potatoes planted in the backyard of the house, Xie Xiaowan had people dig them up after the cold dew, and they harvested nearly six hundred catties.

Due to the full use of fertility, the size of the sweet potatoes is very strong, the largest one weighs more than 15 catties (the record of the sweet potato king in reality is 32 catties), like a big watermelon, and was moved back to the palace by Zhu Houxi's kid as a baby, tied to the red silk touring exhibition, and finally cooked and given to the ministers to eat.

Soon after, the cabinet passed a resolution to pilot the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the mountainous areas of Wanping County, Suncheon Province, starting in March next year, and if successful, it will be rolled out throughout Beizhili and then gradually spread to all parts of the country.

For this reason, more than 600 catties of sweet potatoes of the Xu family were taken away by the household department and 500 catties were taken away as planting grain. The household department was also quite kind, and gave the price of one or two silver pounds of sweet potatoes in recognition of the contribution of the Xu family, but Xie Xiaowan finally refused the money, she was born in poverty, and knew the hardships of the life of the people at the bottom of the society.

Xie Xiaowan's move made the officials of the household department who came to collect sweet potatoes praise each other, but the praise was praised, as for the five hundred taels of silver, it is estimated that they all went into the pockets of these guys in the end.

Sweet potatoes are resistant to storage, as long as they are placed in a dry and ventilated place, it is not a problem to store them for half a year, but if sweet potatoes are stored for a long time, the starch in them will be converted into sugar, so the longer they are stored, the sweeter they will be. At this time, peel off the sweet potato, cut it into small pieces, put it in a pot and boil it into porridge with millet, and the taste is called a sweet.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, there are still a few days before the first year of Jiajing, Xu Jin got up early in the morning, and after freshening up under the service of the beautiful maid, he ate a bowl of sweet potato millet porridge, and leisurely practiced spitting in the courtyard.

From today on, the imperial court will start to take annual leave, and the official office will not return to work until the Shangyuan Festival after the New Year, so during this time, Xu Jin can stay at home and spend time with his family, and then perform his duties after the New Year.

Early in the morning, Xie Xiaowan asked people to buy fresh haggis from the market, and took out the radishes and dried chili peppers stored in the cellar for the winter, and prepared to make a perverted and spicy five-spice haggis, because the little emperor Zhu Houxi was coming today and designated to eat this.

At about eight o'clock in the morning, Zhu Houxi's kid appeared in front of the gate of Xu's Mansion, dressed as a son's brother, holding a folding fan in his hand very coquettishly on a cold day, followed by more than a dozen brocade guards with big shoulders and round waists, but these brocade guards were wearing green clothes and hats, dressed as a nurse.

This time, Zhu Houxi came with the accompanying eunuch Huang Jin, oh, it should be changed to the title, Huang Gonggong has now been promoted to the eunuch of the imperial supervisor, who is responsible for the royal procurement, this is a fat difference, I don't know how many internal officials are red in this position.

The eunuch Huang Jin picked up the door knocker and buckled it, and the door of the Xu Mansion opened, and a head poked out of it, causing the little emperor and Huang Jin to be startled.

It turned out that it was Jia Ding Xu Shou who poked his head out from behind the door, and the eye circles of this thing didn't know what to do, it was even darker than last night, and he had to pretend to squint and squint, like a black-eyed chicken with only sunglasses, after seeing Zhu Houxi outside the door, he immediately opened the door completely, and said with a smile: "Zhu Gongzi is here, please inside!" ”

It is not the first time that the little emperor has visited the Xu Mansion, so the Xu Mansion family members have a lot of experience in "picking up".

"Xu Shou, what's wrong with your eyes?" Zhu Houxi asked casually.

Xu Shou sneered: "I accidentally hit a tree while walking last night!" ”

Zhu Houxi didn't care, and walked to the Xu Mansion, only to meet two people who were shoveling snow in the yard, these two guys had blue noses and swollen faces, but they also saluted with a sneer: "Zhu Gongzi is here, the little one will say hello to Zhu Gongzi." ”

Zhu Houxi couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Hehe, the ground is slippery in the snow, and I accidentally hit a tree at night!" The two families touched their faces and replied "shyly".

Zhu Houxi couldn't help but roll his eyes, and went straight into the front yard hall, where the housekeeper Dabao greeted him and said with a smile: "Zhu Gongzi is here, the little one will say hello to Zhu Gongzi." ”

Zhu Houxi took a look and found that Dabao also had two dark circles under his eyes, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Dabao, don't tell me, you also hit the tree last night!" ”

Dabao sneered and said: "The emperor is wise, but he accidentally hit a tree while walking, the old man and his wife are in the backyard, please be inside." ”

This time, even the several eunuchs and guards who followed Zhu Houxi suppressed their teeth and cracked their mouths like toothache. Zhu Houxi flicked his sleeves and walked to the backyard with a puzzled stomach, what the hell is Xu Jin doing!

When Zhu Houxi came to the backyard, Xu Jin, who had just finished practicing tuna, was accompanying Xiaowan to eat millet sweet potato porridge, and when he saw the little emperor who crossed the threshold in a hurry, the two stood up and wanted to salute.

Zhu Houxi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Sister Xiaowan has difficulty moving, so she doesn't have to salute." ”

Of course, Xu Jin helped the lady to sit down and continue to drink porridge, and Zhu Houxi's kid approached and sniffed like a puppy, and asked, "Sister Xiaowan, what are you eating?" ”

Xie Xiaowan smiled softly: "Sweet potato millet porridge, do you want to taste it, it tastes good." ”

Zhu Houxi rolled up his sleeves and sat down when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then I want to taste it, who is that...... In early spring, hurry up and get me a bowl of sweet potato millet porridge. ”

"I'm early summer!" Chu Xia made a grimace and ran out, and soon came in from the kitchen with a bowl of sweet potato and millet porridge, but the person was replaced by Chu Chun.

Zhu Houxi glanced at Chu Chun strangely and said, "You can still change your clothes with a bowl of porridge." ”

Chu Chun blushed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid is Chu Chun!" ”

Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er couldn't help laughing, and Xu Jin was also impressed, the similarity in appearance in early spring and early summer was almost 100%, and it was estimated that they were twins.

The so-called monozygotic twins are the same egg, which is divided into two after insemination to form two embryos, because they come from the same fertilized egg and receive exactly the same chromosome and genetic material, so they have the same sex, and they are like one mold, sometimes even their own parents are difficult to distinguish.

So if you look at it from the appearance alone, Xu Jin can't tell who is early spring and who is early summer, but if you look at the temperament, you can tell it at a glance. The early summer is lively and enthusiastic, while the early spring is quiet and gentle like water.

Zhu Houxi was embarrassed, glanced at Xu Jin unhappily and said: "Xu Jin, what do you say is the matter with the people in your family, either their noses are blue and their faces are swollen, or they are like black-eyed chickens. ”

Xu Jin said calmly: "Back to the emperor, the prince of the Marquis of Wuding on the other side instigated the family slaves to do it. ”
