469 Eat watermelon with the stove in your arms
"Didn't the officials say that the clerk is very important, why can't he be called the official? I can compensate for the loss of skis at the original price, and the extra money is earned by me, so why not? ”
Language talent only means that you can learn to pronounce and remember words quickly, but it takes time to understand them at a deeper level. Sidi is now a two-knife knife, can speak and listen to Chinese, and even writes calligraphy better than Hong Tao, but often misunderstood and misused.
"Because the official said that if you can't, you can't, there's no reason!" For this kind of person who has just learned a language, Hong Tao really does not intend to teach earnestly. Tai Nima is long-winded, and she still doesn't understand, the best way is to force it, don't give a reason, and let her understand it herself in the future.
"But if the officials don't explain it to me, how do I know how to make the officials happy?" Sidi was a good student, very inquisitive, or rather obsessed with Fuki's fur coat made of sable, and every time she saw it, her eyes swished green.
"Come, my sister will teach you a way, the effect will be fast and long-lasting." Seeing that Hong Tao was about to be anxious again, Fu Ji hurriedly took the conversation.
She knew why Hong Tao had sent most of the Jewish idlers out to open a bakery, leaving only a group of children and this Sidi. As a concubine, Fu Ji feels obliged and entitled to choose and select qualified women for her husband, unless the other party is particularly unsuitable.
Although this Sidi is of a different race, he is smart and beautiful, and the things he understands can still be valued by his husband, of course, he belongs to a very suitable category. Since the husband is embarrassed to open his mouth to mention it, Sidi is stupid and can't feel it, or he doesn't dare to think about it in this way, the task of guiding her is unshirkable, and she must come by herself.
"You take it easy, she's not easy to deal with...... Hey, hey, hey, why are you tearing up again, stop, stop. ”
Hong Tao also knew what Fu Ji wanted to do, and he wanted to stop him but couldn't say it. I don't need anyone to help pick up this layer of window paper, sometimes it's fun to play with it through the window paper. But she can't say to Sidi that she's a sexual teacher in Judaism, and she'll definitely understand these words.
Just leave it alone and let them go. I didn't have time to take care of it, so after a while, the three princes and Chen Niang rolled into a ball again, grabbing a squirrel that fell from a tree.
You said you didn't honestly hibernate and run down to make a hair, now it's okay. Zhao Yan doesn't look at his young age, he is the most ruthless, and he grabs the squirrel's neck and doesn't let go. If you grab it for another minute, it is estimated that no one will rob it and strangle to death.
"I found out first!" As long as Chen Niang meets the three princes, she will reverse her usual rational side and return to the category of children.
"It was my sixth brother who caught it first!" Zhao Tong was not to be outdone, and took the opportunity to stuff the squirrel into his arms, relying on the support of Hong Tao, and jumping to accuse Chen Niang of being unkind to her sister. Usually he didn't dare, Chen Niang was really not used to it, and it was a waist fall when he went up.
"They're younger brothers, let's play with them first, this thing is not a rare thing. Come on, come on, pack up, go! ”
For disputes between four children, as long as there are no issues of principle, Hong Tao will adopt the trick of making peace with the mud. It won't take them ten minutes to get together and play together, it's all a thing that remembers what to eat and not to play, and if they are serious, they will lose.
By the time Hong Tao's team arrived at Mawei City by playing and sliding all the way, the six sons were already frozen into popsicles at the city gate. Yoyo stood for a night and a day, except for eating, someone took over, and I didn't dare to sleep.
The defenders of Mawei City all hate this guy to death, you said that you stood so straight, and you stood for so long, so you didn't let us live! If this is seen by the city lord, how should we say that we are not as good as an amateur!
"Come on, come on, come with me to see the goods, I promise you'll be interested." Fortunately, this amateur doorman was not discovered by Jiang Dalang first, but was taken away by Hong Tao. The defenders couldn't help but get up again, fortunately they didn't drive away the strange man, it turned out to be a guest of Lord Shuaiji.
"This, this is the Heavenly Palace! Lord Xingjun spares his life, there is an eighty-year-old mother on the villain, and there is a ...... below" There is a courtyard in the northwest corner of the city that outsiders cannot approach, and Hong Tao did not plan to take his sixth son into the most secret chemical laboratory.
There were also a few buildings on the south side of the courtyard, so that Liuzi almost didn't kneel down and kowtow. At this time, it was dusk, and the setting sun was shining, and these small buildings exuded a golden light, and they were still transparent, and you could clearly see that people were walking inside.
Rao is sixth son followed Zhu Bajin's son through the south and north, and he couldn't imagine that in addition to the Heavenly Palace, there was any other house in the world that could behave like this. And then he finally knew who this man was, and who else could live in the Heavenly Palace, the star monarch went down to earth!
"Shut up, if you talk nonsense, the official will let you hang you on a wooden pole!" The words begging for mercy are too vulgar, too vulgar, too uncreative.
"Come in with me, be careful with your step, don't step on the green gold of this official." One sentence made the sixth son put away his dying virtue, Hong Tao was very satisfied, pushed open the door and walked in.
Yes, this is a house, but it is not made of bricks, and the Okinami side is built with glass and wooden frames, which is just over a meter high, and a meter deep has been dug underneath.
This is the greenhouse built by the tall comrades, there are eight in total, each half an acre is large. Why did only eight of them be made, I thought it was too expensive glass, and it was still the most advanced flat glass. Eight greenhouses can grow enough vegetables for Hong Tao and the children to eat in one winter, and any more is meaningless.
In fact, four acres of land is a bit too much to plant vegetables, especially if the people who take care of it are enough and the intensive cultivation is not enough, and the harvest time is not eaten at all, and many green vegetables can not be put for a long time, so they can only be given away.
Later, Hong Tao simply vacated two greenhouses to grow fruits, because the height of the greenhouses is limited, arbors can not be planted, and can only choose relatively low species. Looking around, Hong Tao found two delicious and rare species, cantaloupe and watermelon.
Cantaloupe, as the Tanguts and Uighurs called it, was the big melon. As the name suggests, its origin is the area of Xinjiang, that is, west of Yumen Pass. It is not clear when there were, but the Song Dynasty must have had them, because these seeds were the goods brought by the Uighurs who came to Huangzhou to trade.
In ancient times, crop seeds were also a relatively valuable possession, and good seeds were very expensive. Of course, this will only be worth money in an era when everyone is credible, and fake seeds are everywhere like later generations, then it is not worth the money.
Watermelons were also available in the Song Dynasty, but not in the Central Plains, and the Xixia people rarely planted them, and they had just learned it. But it was more common in the Southern Song Dynasty, at least Hong Tao ate it in Guangzhou. It is said that it was first planted in a large area by the Jin people, and then introduced to the Southern Song Dynasty, becoming a fruit for everyone to quench their thirst.
Later generations also said that there were watermelon seeds in the Han Dynasty, as if watermelon seeds were found in the Han tomb. But in the Northern Song Dynasty, you really can't see this huge fruit all year round, there is no such thing in the palace, and the people should not have it. It may also be that it was cultivated in the Han Dynasty, but it was not popularized, and later with the change of generations, this court species was cut off, who knows.
Hong Tao's watermelon seeds were obtained from the watermelons that Xiluo sprinkled with tribute, and as long as he found something good, he would send it to show his loyalty, so as not to be cut off from the supply of arms, and he knew more about this than Tsering Gong.
After a summer of cultivation, the yield of the two melons is average, but the taste is okay, which also allows Hong Tao to designate it as a cash crop to be planted in winter. At the end of October, I will send someone to send a car back to Kaifeng to try it for my eldest brother, which is also a rare thing.
But there are one or two thousand catties of watermelons in an acre of land, so what's the use of so much left? It seems too luxurious to give everyone a taste. At present, Huangzhou is still poor, and there are many places to use money for themselves, so let's just advertise Huangzhou. I don't ask how much money I can sell, it's a gimmick to be a Huangzhou specialty.
When Liuzi ate the first piece of watermelon, he opened his mouth with the determination to die, and he almost shouted and opened his mouth at me. Such a strange fruit doesn't look like a thing in the world, and mortals who can eat it may not be able to eat it.
"Always a piece of money!" But after eating two pieces, Liuzi wanted to reach for the third piece. This thing has a lot of water, a sweet taste, and a bright red color, so it looks good.
