Section 396 Bai Shan Xiao is the first [Dizzy, the order is reversed]
Sweetness! It may be a taste that many people in Tang Dynasty may not have the opportunity to taste throughout the year.
Sugar was definitely a luxury product in the Tang Dynasty. When the food and clothing in the belly were not completely satisfied, giving the tongue a chance to enjoy it was definitely a luxury life that only a few people could enjoy.
When Li Er returned to Chang'an with more than a thousand kilograms of golden melons, many eunuchs in the palace were even privately asking the eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen how much of the golden melons would be distributed to their master's palace and when they would be distributed.
.
Especially those dozens of delicate and beautiful little pumpkins that are only one pound in size.
Li Er ordered people from Sinong Temple to check and find out that the real wait for the pumpkin harvest will be in the summer. The ones that are now mature are, firstly, early-maturing varieties, and secondly, they were originally seedlings in the greenhouse, and there are even some
The fruit is already bearing, and it will naturally take a month or two for it to fully mature after being removed.
That night, Cui Yingying put the pumpkin in her mouth with a small silver spoon and nodded with satisfaction: "It's so sweet. It's really sweeter after seeing the light than in the greenhouse!"
Li Liyuan also took a bite, but did not mention the pumpkin: "It's a bit chaotic today, but I don't know the etiquette when meeting those concubines. According to this rule, if it is a real royal banquet, then we will sit here
There?"
Li Liyuan asked about the status level.
Ever since Li Yuanxing divided craftsmen and soldiers into hierarchies, the hierarchies at all levels in the Tang Dynasty have become even stricter.
Compared with the four concubines in the palace, the concubine of King Qin should be on the lower level. Compared with talented people, she must be higher. But compared with the ninth concubine, Li Liyuan couldn't figure out whether she was higher or lower.
.
After Cui Yingying wiped her mouth, she said calmly: "It is because our King Qin has a noble status that we have a noble status. Of course, ordinary princes are not inferior, but our status is at least equal to that of the ninth concubine, or even higher.
In appearance, we look the same, but we are still generous!"
The other two women also nodded in agreement, they did not think that their status would be low.
The next day, more than 70% of the newspapers in Chang'an, as long as they were related to the government, had the headline "Filial Piety Moves Heaven" on the front page. Great Confucians and celebrities were invited to write comments.
The theme is filial piety.
The sixth prince, Li Min, was naughty when he was young, and he put filial piety first. Even though he was a little naughty, he was actually good at heart. He can become a great person!
Then an official newspaper such as Datang Daily issued an announcement. There were 108 houses in Chang'an. Each village selected one person who was the most filial and filial, and ten people who were filial and virtuous. They were rewarded at noon by the Zhuque Gate.
Who is filial and who is not?
Neighbors have their own opinions. There is no need to choose a recognized filial son, and the people's eyes are sharp. In the early Tang Dynasty, the people were simple and simple, and no one had done anything like driving a Mercedes-Benz and pretending to be a poor person to receive the minimum living allowance.
"No. 13 A, Laohuai Street, Erlang of the Hu family. After his eldest brother joined the army, he took care of his paralyzed and bedridden mother for eight years. She is still alive and has no sores. Great filial piety! All the elders in Changlefang unanimously recommend that Changlefang is the most filial piety.
The first person. Below, we list thirty-three filial sons, filial daughters, and filial daughters-in-law. Please recommend them to your neighbors!"
An old man in his seventies announced loudly in the neighborhood where he lived.
The district official stood aside. It was far more appropriate for an old man to handle such matters than an official like him.
Moreover, Mr. Su recommends that even if there are any deviations, the people will be more considerate.
Wear red and parade through the streets.
The person carrying the huge 202-pound pumpkin in front was followed by ninety-seven filial piety people. One hundred and eight squares, because several of them were originally poor slums and were demolished by Li Yuanxing.
. All the people have moved away, some to Chang'an County, King of Qin, and some to Yaozhou.
The east and west cities are markets, so they are not included in the evaluation.
Qujiang Pool in the southeast of Chang'an City occupies two square meters of land, so only ninety-seven people were actually evaluated.
Parading a filial son through the streets is a great good deed, and hundreds of celebrities have written poems and written articles about it.
In front of the Suzaku Gate, Li Er held a long knife and bowed in front of Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, let me thank heaven and earth together!" Li Yuan held Li Er's hand and swung the knife together, splitting the huge pumpkin in two.
.
Cutting a pumpkin, such a great gift, Li Min has nothing to worry about.
Take off a piece of about three or four kilograms at the top, place it on the brocade plate, and shout ceremoniously: "The prince is stunned, and went to the fields to plant God-given golden melons for his mother. Each of these golden melons is about twenty kilograms in size, and the largest one is only three or four kilograms."
Ten kilograms. God is grateful for the prince's filial piety, and the heaven has sent auspicious blessings. This golden melon weighs two hundred and two kilograms. Today I will eat with the benevolent and filial people of Chang'an to thank God for his kindness!"
If Li Yuanxing were here, he would definitely complain that it was just a big pumpkin, why did it have another ceremony to sacrifice to heaven?
Li Er was very excited, and Li Yuan was even more excited.
They like to offer sacrifices to heaven, especially this kind of auspicious sacrifice to heaven.
The imperial chef took action, and his knife skills were outstanding. After removing the seeds from the 200-pound pumpkin, except for the first piece that was removed, it was divided into nearly 300 small pieces with almost the same size and appearance. One piece is as good as the current one.
The weight is about seven taels.
Then, there were a dozen more normal-sized pumpkins, divided again, and more than a thousand pieces were cut out, all of the same size.
Ninety-seven, the most filial piety, each person has a large pumpkin weighing seventy-two meters, and then another ordinary small one. It is also four or two meters tall.
“Pumpkin porridge can also be steamed and eaten directly!”
Ordinary filial sons, each 22 meters, plus a piece of ordinary pumpkin.
After receiving the pumpkin, everyone thanked God for the gift and thanked God for the blessing.
In the afternoon, Li Er was sitting in his study, and it seemed that he could smell the sweet smell of pumpkin porridge throughout Chang'an City. He shook the small bell at hand. Eunuch Gao heard the bell and quickly closed the small jar at hand.
He handed it to the young eunuch, wiped his mouth, and entered Li Er's study.
The people below showed their respect to Eunuch Gao and brought a small bowl of millet and pumpkin porridge in a jar.
Entering the study, Li Er asked while looking through the official documents: "I seem to smell the sweet smell of pumpkin porridge floating in Chang'an City!"
Eunuch Gao's heart tightened and he was ready to plead guilty, but seeing the casual smile on Li Er's face, he immediately changed his mind and said, "This old slave knows that after you blessed the filial son of Chang'an, the old slave sent someone to visit the city.
The people below reported that most of the filial sons set up a big pot in front of their homes, boiled the pumpkins and shared them with the neighbors. This is a great kindness, and naturally there is some sweet pumpkin porridge in Chang'an City!"
This answer made Li Er very satisfied.
Just when Eunuch Gao was about to plead guilty again, Li Er said: "Choose a twenty-pound pumpkin. Everyone in the palace will work hard!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Gao knelt down to thank.
Li Er waved his hand, and Eunuch Gao stepped out.
Li Er put the watch in his hand, took out a few newspapers from the table, and smiled when he read the articles praising Li Min's filial piety. He smiled with great pleasure.
Li Min didn't know this yet, he was busy in the workshop.
There are only five days left before departure. This time, everything will be transported to Luoyang by tricycle. All the cars will be inspected and the wearing parts will be taken on the road. Even though Li Min can't help much, he is still running back and forth, and he will go to every workshop.
He would go to the village where the seeds were packed to check whether they were packed properly and whether they would be bitten by mice.
Until the afternoon, Li Min hadn't had lunch yet.
When Li Min returned to the door of the workshop, he saw Wu Zhao's human-powered tricycle. He didn't know why, but he felt guilty.
"Yours!" Wu Zhao signaled Shui Siyun to carry the food box over to Li Min.
Inside, there were two large cakes, a bowl of pumpkin and millet porridge, and then a small pumpkin, less than a pound, steamed with candied fruits, golden yellow, and very beautiful in a basin.
"Thank you, Princess Mingyue!"
"Before setting off to Chang'an, the Holy One has a favor for General Qu. You can take it to Luoyang by the way!"
"Yes, I understand!" Li Min nodded vigorously.
He was afraid of Wu Zhao, but deep down in his heart he was very grateful to Wu Zhao.
For the first time, he raised his head in front of Li Er.
Li Min finally discovered that he had been fooling around trying to attract his father's attention, but had failed several times. But when he worked hard and made real achievements, he suddenly noticed that his father had been watching his efforts behind his back.
Li Min cried again, tears streaming down his face.
"I'm crying again. You can't cry when you go to Chang'an to do business. No matter how hard it is on the road to Luoyang, you can't cry." Wu Zhao smiled and took out the handkerchief, but he was a little short of height. Shui Siyuan knelt down on one knee and asked Wu Zhao
Zhao stepped on his knee and wiped Li Min's tears.
Li Min laughed again, smiling like a fool.
Wu Zhao also smiled and patted Li Min on the forehead: "Hurry up and finish your meal and go to work!"
"Yes, Princess Mingyue!" Li Min ran away happily.
In Luoyang, Li Yuanxing was sitting in his study in a daze, with a medical record in his hand.
After reviewing the medical records again, Li Yuanxing ordered: "Where is Old Li Tou now? If he is in the city, let him come to see me."
After a while, Old Li Tou came to Li Yuanxing's study.
"What are you busy with?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.
"Your Highness, the flooded land is good land, but the canals are not well repaired. The drainage is not good, and the water supply is not good either. The little old man is saying to let the officials in charge of agricultural affairs in Luoyang plan it, but it can be said
They didn't understand it for a long time. The little old man was just thinking about how to squeeze out a day to go to the field and draw a line for them!"
Li Yuanxing smiled and poured a cup of tea for Lao Li Tou. Lao Li Tou quickly stood up and said, "I'll kill the little old man."
"No problem! I ask you, when can the corn be harvested?"
"Your Highness, according to your Highness's fairy farm book, corn is divided into milk-ripened, wax-ripened, and fully-ripened. If you want to cook it and eat it, the taste will be just right, and it must be wax-ripened. The little old man went to the field to see it, and it is ready to eat.
At least, it will take another twenty days. If it is really mature, it can be put into storage. It should not be too late to preserve the green storage. If it is placed at the early or middle stage of ripeness, it will take about forty days."
After Old Li Tou finished speaking, Li Yuanxing nodded slightly.
"Your Highness is worried about General Qu's condition?" Old Li Tou asked softly. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
