Chapter 17 Enjoying the Shade

The craftsmanship of Xiaoyan's shopkeeper is really good!

And when this girl gets serious and does things seriously, she is not as crazy as when she first met, and after a while, she made sour soup duck, white-cut salted duck, boiled duck soup, Shih Tzu tongue, and two stacks of champion sugar.

Not to mention that men and women sit at different tables and eat different boxes at the age of seven, there are few men and women sitting at the same table on serious occasions these days, and the two of them have their own food tables in front of them, and the dishes are divided into two boxes, which are extremely beautiful, which makes Chen Mu curious.

Shih Tzu tongue is clams, and champion sugar is nougat.

There was nothing peculiar about this, but the soup made Chen Mu feel like he drank the broth, and he couldn't help asking, "How is this soup made?" ”

"I'm afraid that the military master will be in a hurry, the slave family didn't dare to boil more, so I have to go to the drum belly building, the old soup in the store doesn't stop, pork beef, pork bones, and a few chickens boil out of the old soup." Yan Qingyao said with a smile: "This duck soup is not fresh, it stains the mouth of the military master." ”

No MSG.

No MSG!

No MSG to boil soup like this?

Chen Mu's thoughts drifted away again, pork, beef, pork bones, and beef bones have to be put in the broth of the whole chicken to boil, which is definitely enjoyment, but in the end, not everyone in ordinary people has the money to go to the restaurant to get an old soup to drink, if he can make MSG, wouldn't it be another big profit?

MSG seems to be related to kelp, so the problem comes.

Kelp is a cold-water algae, which is only found in the coastal waters of Shandong, and there is no kelp in Guangdong.

Write a letter and ask Li Tao to bring back some kelp?

If the prince passes the palace examination this time, he will be a jinshi, and it is not appropriate to do this; If he hadn't taken the exam, would he be in a hurry to throw himself into the sea if he was asked to bring kelp?

After eating and leaving, Yan Qingyao seemed to think of something, and asked at the door of the Qianhu Ya: "Chen Junye buys livestock with both male and female officials, why do you want all the geese from the male?" ”

"There are no dogs in the guard, please ask a few geese to come to the door."

Yan Qingyao scoffed at this, where is the big goose guarding the door?

But as soon as she walked on her front foot, Chen Mu's words came true, and Hachiro walked to the Qianhu Yamen wearing a rotten cloth strip and pinching the neck of the goose, handed the goose to the kitchen and said to Chen Mu: "Qianhu, let's kill all the geese!" ”

Kohachiro was chased by a goose and bitten two miles to the ground, and he strangled the goose to death at the cost of ragged clothes.

It's not easy to use a knife, so I've already run away!

During this period, Chen Mu watched the thousands of households slowly become big and big, the pigs and sheep were purchased and distributed to special military households to raise, and a few hundred households were specially selected to build a corral near the yamen, some raised pigs, some raised sheep, some raised chickens, raised ducks near the river, plus the Tan people who fished in the river.

I don't expect to have meat to eat every day, at least the Banner Army can get some fish, eat some eggs, and supplement some nutrients.

The Xiangshan Thousand Households Office is probably the only one full of 1,000 households in in Guangzhou Prefecture, except for the Thousand Households in Qingcheng.

After 12,000 mu of grain fields are planted, the land on the mountain will not be able to move for a while and a half, so that the labor of the 1,000 households is actually surplus, and the rest of the army has nothing to do all day long.

Chen Mu has seen the 20,000 acres of military land on the mountain, and he will not be able to move it for a while, but he has transferred more than a few hundred dings to cut wood on the mountain, and Chen Mu plans to use part of the small field as a tea garden medicine field.

The Tan people are almost natural shipwrights, but their skills are limited to fishing boats, so it should be precisely natural shipwright apprentices, so it is a fool's dream for them to make warships now, but in the end, they can recognize what wood is suitable for making boats.

There are very few trees growing in the military fields on the mountain that can be used to make boats, and many can be used to make furniture.

Fortunately, the Thousand Households are preparing to build a large number of buildings, even if it is waste wood, it can be used to build houses, and then we will talk about cutting down first.

Another batch of useful things that Yan Qingyao sent was willow charcoal, which was used to replenish the gunpowder gap in the Thousand Households.

In the course of two months, the reserves of the Thousand Households were huge enough to be called huge, and the smugglers were really rampant, they did not transport willow charcoal with low cost and low profit, but the transportation of nitrate brass, iron and even silk was almost blatant.

"Since April, 137 cases of trafficking in contraband offenders have been seized at the checkpoints, including more than 30,000 catties of nitrate, more than 14,000 catties of realgar sulfur, 670 stones of rice grain, 340 horses of silk, thousands of catties of copper and iron, and thousands of catties of the remaining goods."

Chen Mu was a little panicked.

He didn't expect that so many things would be found in Xiangshan, not to mention smuggling, just talking about the prices in the country, more than 800 taels of nitrate, more than 500 taels of yellow grain, more than 1,000 taels of silk, not counting copper, iron and other goods, this is already more than 3,000 taels.

Chen Mu couldn't find anyone to discuss this kind of thing, he thought about it for a few days, and in early June, he simply went to Guangcheng again, first went to the house where Wang Rulong was under house arrest to meet Wang Rulong, and then went to the mansion of Governor Zhang Han, and simply said it.

But this time, if he wants to enter the Governor's Palace, it will not be so easy.

"Why are you here? It's not that my brother won't let you in, Chen Qianhu, the governor won't let you in. ”

The porter's righteous words on his face, Chen Mu wanted to step up the steps but was pushed down, the porter didn't look at it, the two looked into the distance, and their mouths moved quickly: "Don't come up, just listen to it clearly where you can hear it, how many people are watching." ”

"The governor left a message last month, if you come to the Dragon Boat Festival, you will put it in directly; After the Dragon Boat Festival, wait for an hour; You don't have to report to him when you come in June. ”

"Brother tell you the truth, just keep it in mind, but don't say it anywhere else. Since April, the people who have come to the Governor's Mansion to sue you are about to ruin the threshold, and some people have sent officials and cronies from Fujian to say that they want to remove you from your seat in Xiangshan! ”

The porter's voice was very small, but Chen Muli was shocked when he listened below.

Just as he thought, moving someone else's cake is never in vain.

At the same time, this incident also made him find some things that he ignored, such as the fact that he did not come to the Governor's Yamen to congratulate Zhang Han on the Dragon Boat Festival this year.

He set off from Xiangshan, to Zhang Han's mansion near the middle of the day, he can't see Zhang Han at noon, and in the evening, if the official likes to stay for dinner, he will leave at the time of the curfew at the city gate.

Normally, only one person can be seen for the entire day of the festival.

Chen Mu didn't come to the governor's yamen during the Dragon Boat Festival, would he think in the eyes of others - where did he go?

By extension, who is he?

The crisis of trust and the crisis of public opinion occurred at the same time, and Chen Mu felt very bad.

If it is a civil official, even if it is not liked by the officials, there is no reason for people to wear official robes to hang on the streets outside the palace, even if they don't want to see it, they have to wait in the palace, but there are no such taboos when dealing with military attachΓ©s.

It's impossible to turn around and leave, and it's only going to be harder to get to the door after walking now, and to be honest, it's just that the second skin face is outside for people to see - it's not a big deal!

Raising his hand to thank the porter, Chen Mu didn't say much, and asked his entourage to go to the Gubelly Tower outside the city to borrow a deputy couch, and Chen Luan borrowed a military book at home, and sat outside the door of the governor's mansion against the sun to read the book.

People come and go, don't eat or drink.

It wasn't until the evening that the blue-clothed officials from the governor's yamen came out and asked with a smile: "Chen Qianhu, the governor asked you, why are you studying here?" ”

"It's hot."

Chen Mu's throat was smoking, he was a little sunburned, and he had to force a smile to laugh, and arched his hand and said, "It's good to enjoy the cool under the governor's door." ”
