Chapter 187: The One Who Lives the Most Clearly
Liu San escorted Daning's goods into Beijing, and he told Liu Chun that in the past six months alone, more than 30,000 prisoners had been sent to Daning, and as many as 5,000 people had gone to Tuntian to open up wasteland.
In addition, they recruited a lot of barbarians, and Daning's population increased by more than 60,000.
The bigger good news is that after the opening of the market in Nanjing, it has become profitable to go to Daning and Liaodong to grow rape and soybeans, and it is foreseeable that in the next few years, many merchants will go north.
However, there are also regrets, that is, Liu Chun's sugar beet planting plan failed, sugar beet as early as the Tang Dynasty, it was introduced from Persia and other places, and the people of the Central Plains also cultivated it, but the people of the Central Plains used sugar beet as an ordinary vegetable and ate leaves, and did not explore the sugar extraction potential of sugar beets.
Liu Chun also made a mistake, he planned to plant sugar beet, but due to the long-term selection and cultivation, the sugar beet leaves in the Central Plains are large and small, and the sugar content is far from enough.
"You kid can make Xu Yatou miserable!" Liu San smiled, gloating.
Liu Chun was very helpless, who made Xu Miaojin like to eat sugar, and shouted to plant a lot of beets, but suffered a big loss...... But no matter what, it's his fault.
"That's it, anyway, there are Hu merchants coming, I want to find a way to get some beet seeds from Persia, and then plant and cultivate, select those with high sugar content, and keep accumulating, ten years, twenty years, and one day it will be successful!"
"Good!"
Liu San stroked his palms and laughed, "A manly man, that's what you want." Don't embarrass your father, boy! The third master patted Liu Chun's back, full of pride, he could pick up a treasure with his hand, this luck is too rebellious, counting, the third master is the "protagonist halo"!
You don't have to do anything, you can enjoy glory and wealth, and you can marry the goddess of the past, which is simply a winner in life.
"Dad, don't patronize and be happy, people have been worshiping Buddha for many years, and she has a strange temperament, and she was still ...... In short, you old man take it easy, don't die under the beauty knife! Liu Chun said with a precedent matter.
The third master waved his slap and gave it to his son.
"Don't talk nonsense, no matter what, a 'aunt' is always called, and besides, how stupid are you kids!"
"Stupid?"
"Of course!" Liu San said: "Do you think she really killed someone?" Where did you put Song Guogong? ”
"Did Song Guogong do it?"
"Hmm!"
Liu San nodded, "He told me personally, a few days ago, Song Guogong went to Beijing to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, and he mentioned to me that he let people kill that beast back then, when Liu Ji was still in the court, jealous and hateful, and many nobles were afraid of him." Your aunt was afraid of implicating her uncle, so she took the initiative to bear the blame, and it was indeed the beast who was in front of her, and no one dared to mention it. ”
"Boy, my father is not a fool, in the past two years, I contacted a friend of Jinyiwei and checked it privately, your aunt has suffered for so many years, but she still does not improve her conscience, it is indeed rare! Rest assured, she won't embarrass you when she enters our door. ”
Liu Chun rolled his eyes, "You marry a daughter-in-law, what do you care about me!" I still have something to do, so I'm leaving. ”
Yoo Chun strode out of the room, and when he got outside, he stopped suddenly.
What the third master said, of course he believes it is true, can the third master's character, will he care about this?
No, it won't!
This is him helping himself find steps, although the two of them are halfway father and son, but the feelings for each other are absolutely extraordinary, the third master knows that his son is growing up too fast, he can't give Liu Chun shelter, as a father, at least he can't cause trouble for his child!
"Fool, it's good if you're happy, marrying a tigress has nothing to do with me!" Liu Chun said this, but when he returned to his room, he took out a few more documents and stuffed them into the list of bride price.
The Feng family's big house has been silent for too many years, and they don't have any savings, no matter what, they can't let the marriage be shabby!
Liu Chun is ready to ask Lan Yu to help with the dowry, and immediately after the longevity ceremony, they will get married!
Can't let Daddy be a bachelor anymore!
Liu Chun wanted to find Lan Yu, but it didn't work out, and another grandfather of the country made an invitation!
"Shinkoku Gong Soup!"
Liu Chun looked at the gilded invitation and was startled, Tang He wanted to invite himself?
Something is wrong, the two of them have no relationship, it's just that during a meeting with His Majesty, Tang He was summoned by Lao Zhu before him, and the two of them just glanced at each other and didn't even say anything.
Liu Chun only remembered that Tang He was very fat, his face was full of red light, and the flesh was stretched outward, so that his eyes were almost gone.
He is looking for himself, could it be...... Liu Chun thought of a possibility, he hurriedly packed up, and hurried to meet Tang He, not daring to delay even a moment.
If it is really this harmless Xinguo Gong who is in charge of Jade Pixiu, it will be interesting, Lao Zhu is really chic!
Yoo Chun hurried over, and a family general took him to a living room.
There are no superfluous furnishings in the living room, only a small table, but in the middle of the table, there is a huge copper basin, and under the basin, charcoal is burning.
The meat in the pot is constantly bubbling over a charcoal fire, giving off an enticing aroma.
Tang He narrowed his eyes and said to Liu Chun: "No need to be polite, come here, this is made by the old man himself, you can taste the craftsmanship!" ”
Liu Chun didn't dare to hold it up, he was not stingy with anyone, but this one alone made Liu Chun a little panicked. He hunched over and went to the table.
A pot of beef was boiling in a copper basin, with a thick layer of butter floating on it, with an attractive color, and I couldn't help but drool.
Liu Chun stared at it for three seconds and didn't dare to move his chopsticks.
Tang He laughed, "What, don't you dare to eat it?" ”
Liu Chun hurriedly said: "It's so fragrant, it reminds Xia Guan of the past, I'll eat, I'll eat!" Liu Chun said, with long chopsticks to clip a piece of beef in the bowl, the meat is boiled thinly, full of soup, take a bite, hot mouth, Liu Chun stretched out two thumbs.
"Grandpa Guo is really a good craft, and the officials are obedient!"
Tang He also sandwiched a piece for himself, and he laughed: "Boy, I heard that you are quite good at cooking, I will only cook one dish in my life, and I will only eat one person's dish!" You...... You know what I mean? ”
Here it comes!
Liu Chun hurriedly stood up, bowed down and said: "The old man is above, since he took over the jade pixiu, he has been panicked and uneasy, for fear of losing the emperor's grace, and he also asked the old prince for guidance, and the late life is grateful!" ”
Saying that, Liu Chun knelt forward, Tang He smiled and stretched out his hand to help, he helped him like this, and before he could touch Liu Chun's arm, the kid stood up by himself.
Tang He couldn't help but be angry, and the old man pointed at Liu Chun's head, "Okay, just rush at your shameless strength, Your Majesty didn't choose the wrong person!" ”
The corners of Liu Chun's mouth twitched, "That...... Old man, if Your Majesty can choose a righteous gentleman, I am willing to hand over the jade pixiu! ”
"Phew!"
Tang He chirped: "You should be a child playing games!" Do you know Pixiu's habits? ”
"You know, you can't just eat it!"
"That's right, our rule is that the light doesn't go in!" Tang He patted the table and said, "Tell you, whoever comes in, the first meal is beef stew, do you know why?" ”
Why? Beef roasted potatoes! That is the highest pursuit of the "Corn Emperor"!
Liu Chun thought in his heart, don't say it, judging from the waist circumference, Tang He is really indistinguishable from the Corn Emperor.
"Late life only knows that beef stew can be added with yams."
Tang He snorted, "Don't talk nonsense, the old man will tell you now that my Ming dynasty is eaten from a pot of beef." ”
Yuwa narrowed his eyes and fell into the memory...... That was almost fifty years ago, they were even younger than Liu Chun now, everyone was a bitter child, and they couldn't eat meat once a year, and they were as thin as monkeys.
Once, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, they got together and said how much meat this family bought and how much rice that family entered...... The more I talked, the more hungry I became, and Venus appeared in front of me.
At this time, one of the most taciturn children in the crowd stood up.
"If you want to eat meat, it's not easy!"
After speaking, he led a few children, and picked out the smallest one from the cow he herd, not reluctant to kill the big one, but without the strength.
The hungry children don't care about the consequences. At that time, Tang He was the oldest, he was carrying an axe for chopping wood, and it was chopped on the neck of the cow at once, the calf was not dead, he ran forward like crazy, and another person pounced, it was Xu Da, and then Guo Ying, Fei Ju...... A large group of children knocked down the calf, and in the mountains, they made a broken casserole, boiled meat in mountain spring water, and ate Meimei.
That night, when they went back, they were discovered by the landlord, missing a calf, where did they go?
Everyone was afraid, except for the silent boy, who told him to run away into the mountains. The landlord ordered a search, but only a cow's tail was found.
The landlord was furious, he hung up the silent boy, whipped him fiercely, and hung it for two days, and the landlord was still angry, and ordered the people to be thrown out, and they were to starve to death. Fortunately, there was a temple next to it, which took this kid in, gave him a bite to eat, and finally survived.
Needless to say, the one who took the lead in killing cattle and almost lost his life was Zhu Chongba!
"My old soup is three years older than Your Majesty, I don't have the courage to stand up, and I don't have the courage to carry it afterwards, I will eat, I have eaten the most beef! I watched Your Majesty, beaten with hundreds of whips and hung on the beams of the house for two whole days! ”
Tang He suddenly clenched his fists and slammed the table hard, causing the soup to splash.
"I later swore that I would repay Your Majesty, so I joined the Righteous Army, and after becoming a thousand households, I asked Your Majesty to join the army. I listened to him for everything, and later made a meritorious service, he was a calmer, and I charged him into battle, and my heart was comfortable! Tang He grinned: "Sometimes, it's fate!" That pot of beef made my old soup convincing for a lifetime! Be completely convinced! Tang He picked up a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, his cheeks bulging, and said vaguely: "You just hesitated, do you know that eating cow is guilty?" Tell you, Your Majesty has a will, I can eat the soup as you like, no one dares to care! ”
Tang He laughed wildly: "When I was young, I relied on Your Majesty to eat meat, and when I am old, I still rely on Your Majesty to eat meat!" Your Majesty let me eat the meat in the soup, and I will give this life to Your Majesty! ”
