Volume 2: The Storm in Chang'an, Chapter 117: How is the yield per mu?
Seeing that Lu Chen was relieved, Chai Shao felt relieved and waved to Li Xiuning who was talking to Li Yanjun outside. After all, in the situation just now, it would be more appropriate for Chai Shao to persuade Lu Chen alone. If Li Xiuning and
Li Yanjun went in together, and it was inevitable that he would feel like he was putting pressure on Lu Chen.
Seeing Chai Shao waving, Li Xiuning and Li Yanjun walked into the main room hand in hand. As soon as they entered the room, Li Yanjun bowed to Lu Chen and said apologetically: "This is all because of me.
The palace has not thought well and has upset Marquis Lu, so I must apologize to Marquis Lu!" Li Yanjun's voice contained a hint of Qi Ai Ai's emotion.
"Ouch! Your Highness, don't do this!" Lu Chen hurriedly returned the gift to Li Yanjun.
"It's good that Marquis Lu is not angry!" Seeing that Lu Chen had no intention of being angry, Li Yanjun felt a stone fall in his heart and turned around to sit down with Li Xiuning.
"Sir, this Su Chang is a female official in Langya Palace. She has been with Yan Jun since she was a child. She has a good heart!" Li Xiuning, who was sitting on the chair, looked at Lu Chen and explained.
"Huo Guogong has made it clear to me just now!" Lu Chen knew that if he didn't say this today, I'm afraid these three adults would still have to contend with him about this matter. "In this mansion, apart from my study,
Official Su can go to the bedroom and the bedroom. As for the matters in the back garden, there are some things that are not convenient for outsiders to know now!" Lu Chen explained while looking at Li Xiuning and Li Yanjun.
"I don't know about this, can we know?" Li Xiuning felt that since Lu Chen had said this, he was interested in letting the three of him know what was hidden in his back garden.
"It's all right!" Lu Chen said with a smile, "And this matter is also related to what I just said to His Highness!"
"Really?" Li Xiuning's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard Lu Chen said that the things hidden in his back garden were related to food.
"Guys, please come with me!" Lu Chen stood up and made a "please" gesture to several people. Chai Shao and the others got up and followed Lu Chen out of the main room.
"Come here!" After leaving the main room, Lu Chen waved to Su Chang who was standing outside the main room and said in a gloomy voice.
As soon as Su Chang heard Lu Chen calling her, she hurried over in small steps and saluted Lu Chen. After all, she had also seen the attitude of the three people towards Lu Chen just now, and she was right next to Li Yanjun.
Naturally, he understood that the person in front of him was probably Princess Langya's consort, so he restrained his arrogance from just entering the house.
"If you want to stay here with me, you have to watch your mouth!" Lu Chen looked at Su Chang who was standing in front of him with her head bowed. The words were full of warning. Su Chang nodded quickly after hearing Lu Chen's words.
yes".
"Don't you want to know what's in the back garden? Come along!" Lu Chen glanced at Su Chang and walked forward.
Su Chang felt suffocated by Lu Chen's momentum. It wasn't until Lu Chen turned around and walked forward that she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even when she met Emperor Li Yuan, Su Chang never felt like this.
Terrible smell.
After Chai Shao and the others passed by her, she carefully followed Li Yanjun and walked towards the back garden.
"Su Chang! You must not offend Marquis Lu in the future. You should respect Marquis Lu in everything, you know?" Li Yanjun glanced at Su Chang who was following him and whispered to Su Chang.
"Su Chang understands!" Su Chang nodded quickly.
When they came to the back garden, the soldiers on duty saw Lu Chen and quickly saluted: "Master Hou!"
"Yeah!" Lu Chen nodded to the two soldiers, "How are you today?" Lu Chen entered the back garden and saw Meng Ji coming out of the wing of the shed.
"It's growing very well. The things I planted later also sprouted, and the leeks are two inches tall!" Meng Ji reported to Lu Chen with a happy face.
"Not bad!" After hearing Meng Ji's report, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction. The reason why Meng Ji is here is because before he joined the army, Meng Ji was also a good farmer at home. This was when Lu Chen passed by
After comparing with others, we came to the conclusion that in recent times, Meng Ji has been responsible for guarding the greenhouse.
"This is..." After entering the back garden, Chai Shao, Li Xiuning, Li Yanjun and Su Chang, who was not allowed to enter the back garden by Lu Chen, were all shocked by the building in front of them because they had never seen it before.
The thing is a house, but it is not. After all, there is no house covered with a thin layer of transparent material. It is not a house. There is a stove and chimney next to it that is smoking for warmth.
"This thing is called a greenhouse, and it is my original creation for growing vegetables in winter!" Seeing the stunned expressions of several people, Lu Chen smiled slightly and said very proudly. Lu Chen was still a little proud of the expressions of several people.
of.
"Can we grow vegetables in winter?" Chai Shao asked in surprise, pointing to the greenhouse in front of him.
"Of course, seeing is believing, hearing is believing. Come with me!" Lu Chen led a few people into the wing of the greenhouse, passed through the wing, and entered the greenhouse.
As soon as they entered the greenhouse, everyone except Lu Chen was shocked by the green color in front of them. Lu Chen did not lie to them. He really planted green shrubs in winter, and there were several kinds of green shrubs that they did not seem to see.
Pass.
"Is this a magical trick?" Li Yanjun looked at everything in front of him in surprise and muttered something in his mouth.
At this time, Su Chang finally knew why there were guards in the back garden and why the guards would not let her enter.
"Marquis Lu County really has magical means!" After seeing everything in the greenhouse, everyone was convinced of Lu Chen's identity as the "immortal descended from the mortal world".
"These green trees still need time to grow. I will try to cultivate them next. If they are successful, they will naturally be promoted!" Lu Chen said with a smile to Chai Shao and others, "It's hot in the greenhouse, so you should go out and talk.
Go ahead!" Lu Chen reminded Chai Shao and others.
"Yes! What you said makes sense, let's go out!" Under Lu Chen's reminder, several people also felt the hot flash temperature in the greenhouse, reluctantly looked at the green trees in the greenhouse, and then left the greenhouse.
After all, it is winter now, and seeing greenery is a big deal. Moreover, what could be more exciting than seeing a touch of green in the cold winter?
After leaving the shed, everyone answered the main room. At this time, Su Chang had already stepped into the role of Lu Chen, the housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion, and directly ordered people to serve tea. However, when Su Chang wanted to serve soup and tea, she discovered that Lu Chen's
There is no such thing as tea bricks in the house.
"Master Marquis, may I ask where the tea brick is?" Su Chang could only ask in a low voice next to Lu Chen with some embarrassment.
"What do you want tea bricks for?" Lu Chen looked up at Su Chang with a puzzled look on his face.
"Of course we are providing soup and tea for you all!" Su Chang was stunned by Lu Chen's rhetorical question. Doesn't the mansion of the dignified county prince not use soup and tea to entertain guests? Su Chang looked at Lu Chen with a puzzled expression.
Chen.
"Oh! We don't use those kinds of things to entertain guests in my mansion! You follow Liu Jing, and he will tell you what kind of tea is used in the marquis' mansion to entertain guests!" Lu Chen said and called Liu Jing, and Liu Jing came from behind Lu Chen
He turned around and nodded towards Su Chang.
Su Chang could only follow Liu Jing out of the main room. With little effort, the two of them came to the kitchen.
"This is the tea that the Marquis uses to entertain guests! Watch how I make tea!" Liu Jing took out a pack of Tieguanyin from his arms and showed it in front of Su Chang. When the paper bag was opened, the aroma of Tieguanyin tea hit her face directly.
After coming, Su Chang's nose couldn't help but twitch twice. The smell was so good.
Liu Jing didn't say anything. He picked up the tea leaves and put them into several teacups. Then he picked up the copper kettle that had been sitting on the stove and poured water into the teacups. Soon the aroma of tea spread in the kitchen.
"That's it?" Su Chang was stunned when she saw Liu Jing's operation. You must know that although there was no tea in this era, the process of making tea was also very laborious. She had never thought of such a drink.
The tea method is to brew the tea leaves with boiling water and that's it.
"What else can we do if we don't do this?" Liu Jing gave Su Chang a "never seen the world" look, "The Marquis said that simplicity is the most important thing, and the same goes for drinking tea!" Liu Jing looked at Su Chang and said.
"The greatest truth comes from simplicity!" Su Chang recalled Liu Jing's words in her mind.
"Bring it over!" Liu Jing put the teacups on the tray one by one and motioned for Su Chang to pick up the tray and follow him. Su Chang honestly picked up the tea tray.
"The Marquis also said that there is something called Kung Fu tea, but the Marquis said that making Kung Fu tea requires tea sets. The current tea-making tools cannot make Kung Fu tea. When he has time, he will make a set!" Liu
Jing said to Su Chang while walking.
"Oh!" Su Chang didn't understand what "Kung Fu Tea" was, but looking at Liu Jing's adoring expression, she felt that since it was what Lu Chen wanted to get, it must be something very magical. After all, she just saw
When they arrived at the greenhouse in the back garden, the shock to Su Chang still lingered in her mind.
Back in the main room, Su Chang served tea to everyone and then left, while Liu Jing continued to stand behind Lu Chen.
"Sir, you just said that the things in the greenhouse are related to people's livelihood. I wonder if you can explain it?" Li Xiuning, who was sitting opposite Lu Chen, still had a flush of excitement on his face from seeing the green trees just now.
"I tried to grow three crops in the greenhouse. If it succeeds, I can directly feed the people of the Tang Dynasty!" Lu Chen said with a chuckle.
"I wonder what kind of crop it is? What's the yield per mu?" Chai Shao asked angrily when he heard that it could feed the entire Tang Dynasty.
"If these three things are cultivated successfully, each of them can yield thirty to fifty dan per mu without much effort!" Lu Chen said while playing with the folding fan with a smile, as if this kind of thing is simply a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.
