The first thing Siyu did when he came back was to take out the clay pot that he had put in the morning from the well water in the back house, and he didn't care about wiping off the crystal water droplets on the clay pot, carefully removing the sealed plastic lid on the clay pot, uncovering the oil paper, and a fragrance of fruit gushed up from the jar. The clay pot is seven inches high, five inches in diameter, with a big belly and a thin mouth, and a jar can hold about three catties of fruit. Siyu closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the aroma in intoxication.

There is a pavilion in the northwest of the courtyard, there is a tree next to the pavilion, it is very shady, the stone table and stone chair in the pavilion, the family eats and enjoys the cool here in summer. Xin Fei had already asked the little girl to set up a few bowls, and urged Siyu to say: "It's hot, quickly pour out the sugar fruit and relieve the fatigue." ”

The Son of Heaven secretly ordered Prime Minister Xinfei to clear out the remnants of the Yuan Tianjiao bandits, and during the day, Xinfei and Siyu had to go to Longwei Mansion on an errand.

Siyu took out the peach meat in the jar with a spoon, the peach flesh remained fresh, today is the fifteenth day, the fruit in the jar has not deteriorated at all, and after adding honey, there is more sweetness of honey, which is sweeter than the flavor of the fruit itself.

Jiang Anyong and Shi came back from the back door, and Jiang Anyong shouted from afar: "I want less of my share of pulp, give me more sugar water, I have been busy all day, sweat, drink more water." ”

Siyu said angrily: "You can choose, who doesn't know that sugar water is better." ”

The sugar water soaked in the pulp melts the original flavor of the fruit into it, the sweet and sour flavor is very strong, everyone likes to drink it, Siyu said that, she still felt sorry for her husband, and she pocketed two more spoonfuls of sugar water for him.

Shi took a sip of sugar water with a bowl, then scooped up a piece of peach flesh and ate it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Sister Siyu is really eccentric, just give it to Uncle An Yong and don't give it to me." ”

Siyu blushed and said, "Give, give, give it to you." As he spoke, he poured the remaining sugar water from the jar into the stone bowl.

Xin Fei looked at the front yard and said to herself: "It's almost dark, why hasn't An Yi come back, the yamen has already dispersed." ”

Jiang Anyong also said: "When Shi and I came, the yamen was already closed, and my brother should be back soon." ”

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Anyi returned to the house from the back door, followed by Hua Sima and Shi Qingjian, these two people were Jiang Anyi's henchmen, and everyone stood up to salute. Jiang Anyi glanced at the stone table and said with a smile: "Clean up, take two more cans of sugar and fruits, and ask Mr. Shi and Siyuan to taste them." ”

Hua Siyuan raised his nose and sniffed, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant, it's the smell of peaches." Anyi said please let me and Mr. Shi taste some good things, it won't mean peaches, it's all over the street, this is not a good thing, Anyi, your craftsmanship is good, get some good food, let's accompany Mr. Shi to have two glasses. ”

Shi Qingjian sat down steadily, he knew that the lord did not stick to these subtleties, and said: "Lord Hua, don't be impatient, my master has made his mouth public, so naturally he will not lie to you." ”

During this time, Shi Mingyu took Yu Qingshan to prepare for the construction of the Western Regions Border City outside the West City, and won Jiang Anyi's trust, and everyone in the government knew that this young man was definitely going to be reused. In private, Jiang Anyi had a thorough understanding of Shi Qingjian, and the year-end performance appraisal intended to let Shi Mingyu take over the original record to join the army.

Shi Qingjian already has a full understanding of Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi's behavior is very much in line with his taste, good birds choose trees and perch, Shi Qingjian expressed to Jiang Anyi his willingness to serve his subordinates, Jiang Anyi was overjoyed, he deeply felt the importance of talents, Tian Shoulou inquired about the news for him in Beijing, Zhang Keji let him have no worries in Pingshan Town, Shi Qingjian is shrewd, old-fashioned, and it is a lot easier to have him help to turn the state into a government.

Shi went to the chamber and carried out two clay pots, carefully lifted the lids, and poured the pulp into a bowl, one bowl of honeydew melon and the other bowl of fragrant pear. Hua Siyuan asked curiously, "Why did you dip the flesh in the water, but it smelled very good." ”

After taking a sip of sugar water first, Hua Siyuan's eyes lit up and praised: "It's delicious." ”

Then he ate a piece of honeydew melon and said with a smile: "Yes, it has no flavor." ”

Shi Qingjian tasted both bowls and said with a smile: "The flavor is excellent, but the dessert newly made by the lord is really a good thing." ”

There are still a lot of them in the jar, Siyu looked greedy, and brought another bowl of honeydew melon to himself, Jiang Anyi said: "Siyu, this thing is too sweet, the medical book says that it is easy to quench thirst if you eat too sweet, and you can't eat anything, especially if you eat less." ”

When the fruit was first made, Jiang Anyi made fifty-two cans, and after fifteen days, he ate fourteen cans, and Jiang Anyi only allowed everyone to eat one can a day. Hearing Jiang Anyi's words, Siyu was very dissatisfied and complained: "Uncle, you are too stingy, and you are not willing to give up a few pennies, or I will pay for a few carts of fruits." ”

Xin Fei twisted her junior sister and said with a smile: "You Nizi is neither big nor small, why do you say this about your uncle, is An Yi the kind of stingy ghost you said?" ”

Regarding Siyu's quick words, Jiang Anyi could only shake his head and was speechless, explaining: "First, this thing really can't be eaten more, and second, I want to test how long this thing can be stored in the jar without spoiling, and in the future, I will pass this technique on to the people, and find a way for the people of Huazhou to live." ”

When he said this, Siyu was solemn and bowed: "Uncle has the people in mind, has a broad mind, Siyu is presumptuous, and I hope that Uncle will forgive his sins." ”

Shi Qingjian hurriedly asked, "How many days is the fruit in this clay pot?" ”

"Fifteen days."

"Fifteen days is not bad at all, the flavor is better, and the adults are really the hands of gold." Hua Siyuan praised while eating fruit.

Shi Qingjian asked movingly: "Your Excellency really wants to teach this law to the people of Huazhou?" ”

"Yes, Huazhou is a war-torn place, the people's livelihood is poor, and the melons and fruits produced are not easy to preserve, and they cannot make profits. If the people of Huazhou get this method, the melons and fruits at home can be stored for a long time, and they can also sell some money to live. Jiang Anyi smiled.

Hua Siyuan and Shi Qingjian glanced at each other, the two of them stood up together, bowed respectfully to Jiang Anyi to the ground, and said: "My lord thinks of the common people in the world, which is really the luck of the people of Huazhou, and we thank the people of Huazhou on behalf of the people of Huazhou for the way of life." ”

The husband was respected, Xin Fei and Yourong got up with a smile and said: "Mr. Shi, Huada, you talk slowly, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some wine and food, Siyu and stones, you come to the kitchen with me." ”

Xinfei is not good at cooking, but in front of Shi Qingjian and Hua Siyuan, he has to pretend to be in the kitchen of the hall, Shi knows the true colors of his wife, and it is of course his business to cook in the kitchen.

In the pavilion, Shi and Hua slowly tasted the sugar fruits, and Jiang Anyi said: "I don't know how many days the sugar fruits can be stored, but I estimate that they can be stored for at least a month." ”

Shi Qingjian said with a smile: "One month's time is enough to sell to the most remote prefectures and counties in Dazheng, and it is only twenty days to go from Huiye Mansion to the farthest country in the Western Regions. I wonder how much this jar of sugar fruit costs? ”

Jiang Anyi tapped the edge of the bowl with his fingers, and thought for a while: "The fruit is cheap, but it is only a few cents, and it is not expensive if the clay pot is customized in large quantities, ten or so wen, honey should be added to the water, this one is more expensive, it costs eighty wen, plus labor and firewood and other consumption, I estimate that the cost of a jar of sugar fruit will not exceed 100 wen." ”

Hua Siyuan said: "I heard that a honeydew melon in Kyoto will be sold for three or four taels of silver, and the price of a pound of grapes is also more than two taels of silver, and the price of fragrant pears and other things is also very expensive. ”

From 100 to 100 taels of silver, a hundredfold, Shi Qingjian's heart beat violently, and said: "It is said that the adult is a golden hand, and it is indeed worthy of its name, Huazhou fruit is made into sugar fruit by the adult, it is really like turning a stone into gold, and the most respectable thing is that the adult will selflessly dedicate this method, and truly achieve 'the worries and worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world', and the old decay is inexplicable." It is a blessing to be able to follow the lord's side. ”

Hua Siyuan nodded again and again, and bowed his hand and said, "It is also a great honor for Hua to be able to work with adults. ”

Jiang Anyi said: "The two of them have a good reputation, since Jiang has come to Huazhou, he must always do something practical for the people, serve as an official, and benefit one party." ”

There was some smugness in his tone, Shi Qingjian heard the pride of the lord, and said with a smile: "The lord promotes Qingwu tea in Fuluo County, and Qingwu tea has become a famous tea of Da Zheng; The establishment of Huangyang Academy, "Huangyang Ming" inspired many poor students to seek progress; The construction of the Yellow Sheep Temple, the number of people who believe in Buddhism is increasing; Songchang Building on the shore of Songchang Lake, the world's corporal people recited 'the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world', the lord did it in Fuluo County, and the world asked for it. Now that the princess is in the state, the sugar fruit Ze is born, and it will definitely be recited by the people. ”

Shi Qingjian's sycophants are well-founded, Hua Siyuan is a martial artist, he doesn't have so many words, and he smiled dryly: "What Mr. Shi said is very true, Hua Mou deeply agrees." ”

Jiang Anyi laughed proudly, raised the bowl to replace the wine with sugar water, and everyone touched the glass.

Putting down the bowl, Jiang Anyi said: "This process of making sugar fruits is not difficult, Jiang has a selfish intention, he wants the children in the Salesian orphanage to help with some work, and give them a labor fee of five wen per can, they have learned the craft, and they will not have to worry about their livelihood in the future." ”

Jiang Anyi rectified human trafficking, Hua Siyuan has been following closely, he is very sorry for this group of orphans, and immediately echoed: "My lord is kind, this matter is very good." ”

Shi Qingjian slowly put the bowl back on the table and said: "Huazhou is a state of fruits and melons, from April to October, there are fresh melons and fruits on the market, and now it is only July, if you have time, you will be able to sell a batch of sugar fruits this year." The amount of melons and fruits in Huazhou is huge, and the manpower in the Salesian orphanage alone is far from enough. Since the lord wants to benefit all the people in Huazhou, it is up to the government to promote it. ”

Jiang Anyi nodded, the three of them discussed it carefully, Xin Fei asked the servant woman to bring wine and food, and the three of them talked while drinking, and dispersed happily.

At the end of July, the county magistrates of the 53 counties of Huazhou all received an official letter from Jiang Jianshi, ordering them to rush to the government office on the eighth day of August to discuss major matters. This is the first time that Jiang Tingshi has convened the county orders of each county after his arrival, and everyone does not dare to slack off, and since the fifth day of the first month of August, there have been county orders who have come to meet Jiang Anyi with gifts. Jiang Anyi let the county commanders live in the post house, and did not see anyone privately, only Fan Shi arrived on the seventh day of the first month and lived in the back house of the mansion, and the other county commanders were red but helpless, who made Fan County Commander the senior brother of Lord Jiang.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Mao Zheng, the door of the government office was slowly opened in the sound of drums, and fifty-three county magistrates dressed in green official uniforms walked towards the lobby with reserved steps.
