Chapter 330 Help the Emperor to enrich his private treasury
"Young Master Yu and Young Master Huang both want a share to eat." He Yunxi responded.
Lu Yan was a little surprised: "Yu Min wants it too?"
"Well, they both woke up late and didn't have breakfast."
"This is a bit strange. Yumin always gets up early in the morning, but today he overslept." Lu Yan said.
"Maybe I have to go out today. I slept late last night. Who hasn't had time to sleep in yet?" He Yunxi said, "I brought those snacks to Master's car. Did Master say anything?"
"Let me thank you. Because of what you did, his mouth will not be lonely on the road." Lu Yan thought of his master's expression when he saw him carrying something, and he knew that he liked the snacks He Yunxi gave him very much.
"When I saw you collecting the pumpkin seeds before, I thought you were going to use them to sow seeds, but I didn't expect you were using them to eat." Lu Yan said.
"Pumpkin seeds are a good thing. Eating fried pumpkin seeds is good for your health. They also taste good and are a good way to pass the time." He Yunxi said, "I brought more this time and fried them in three flavors. It's a pity.
We don’t have sunflower seeds here, so frying them is just a way to pass the time.”
"like?"
"Like it!"
"Then I'll find some for you."
"Okay! I want raw sunflower seeds, not fried ones." He Yunxi said, "If there are raw sunflower seeds, we can grow them ourselves."
"good."
After resting for less than two-quarters of an hour, the team set off again. The weather was getting hotter now, so He Yunxi and the others had a fan in their carriage, which would make them feel much more comfortable if they kept blowing it.
After noon, everyone arrived at a small town and found a restaurant in the town to eat. Because there were too many people, everyone scattered to various restaurants to eat.
After getting off the carriage, Xiang Hongyu said to Lu Yan and the others: "You can eat at the same table with us."
Only eight people can sit at one table. Xiang Hongyu and Wang Wenbin naturally have to sit at the same table. There are six seats left. Whoever can sit here means who is more valued by the Master.
Xiang Hongyu directly called three people to come, and only three people were left.
Lu Yan saw a dozen students looking at them and said, "Master, my wife is alone. I want to take her to have something to eat."
Xiang Hongyu often eats the food made by He Yunxi, and he feels that he is familiar with her, so he blurts out: "Then let her sit with us."
"It still doesn't work. She doesn't feel well and wants to drink porridge. I want to take her to see if there is a porridge shop." Lu Yan said.
"Okay. Then remember the meeting time." Xiang Hongyu said.
"Yes, Master."
"Master, I also want to drink porridge, so I went with Lu Yan." Yu Shaoyu said.
"Okay, let's go."
Huang Yumin hesitated for a moment, but still stayed and had lunch with his wife and others.
Lu Yan and Yu Shaoyu returned to the carriage. Yu Shaoyu didn't have a separate carriage, so he went directly to theirs. When he saw the fan in the carriage, he immediately fell in love with it after tinkering with it. He immediately turned to look at Lu Yan: "Brother Lu, you guys
This carriage is so big, can I ride on it too?"
"It's not convenient." Lu Yan refused.
Except for Lu Yan, there were only women in their carriage, which was really inconvenient. It would be fine if they rode for a while, but it would be really inconvenient if they had to sit in the carriage all the way.
Yu Shaoyu still knew how to advance and retreat, and no longer mentioned the matter of riding the carriage. However, when he found a place to eat in front, he sat in front of the fan and played with it for his own entertainment.
Before getting off the car, he asked: "Brother Lu, where did you make this fan? I'll have someone make one too?"
"Mo Ye did it." He Yunxi said, "When you get to Fucheng, you can ask him to do it for a fee!"
"This is natural. When we find someone to do this, we will definitely need to pay." Yu Shaoyu said, "How long will it take to get it?"
"Five days."
Mo Ye is now relatively familiar with this. In addition to this, he also made two others, which were packed up by Lu Yan and sent to the capital. Now he is familiar with them and can almost make one in five days.
"Okay, then I'll make a reservation. When we get to Fucheng, you can ask him to cook it for me." Yu Shaoyu got out of the car happily. Because he was so happy, he even ate an extra bowl of rice.
After lunch, Lu Yan and the others rejoined the army. Yu Shaoyu reluctantly returned to Huang Yumin's carriage. When he got on the carriage, he told Huang Yumin about the magical fan, and then took out the fried pumpkin seeds that came from the carriage and kneaded them together.
Already.
"I really envy Brother Lu. How did he find such a capable wife? When I return to Fucheng, I will ask my mother to find me a wife as capable as my sister-in-law." Yu Shaoyu said loudly while eating.
Huang Yumin smiled: "There are very few people like my brothers and sisters. If you can't find them, how can you still get married?"
Yu Shaoyu sighed, and when he thought about it, it was true. He had never seen a better woman than her before. He thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter if my future wife is not as good as my sister-in-law, I will send her to my sister-in-law."
, let her learn from her sister-in-law, learn everything without asking, it’s good to learn 30% to 40%!”
Huang Yumin's mind came back to his wife's pale face, and he shook his head slightly: "Not everyone can learn this."
"Then look for someone who can learn. If you can't learn, why are you looking for it?" Yu Shaoyu said, "If you don't say anything else, let's learn a little bit about cooking. When we become officials in the future, we will be tired after a day outside.
If you have delicious food waiting at home, you can have more to look forward to, right?"
Huang Yumin didn't answer, he picked up a pumpkin seed and looked at it, with a faint smile on his lips.
The weather was too hot in the afternoon. Sitting in the carriage, He Yunxi felt that she missed short-sleeved shorts.
"It's only June now, how will we live in the future? It's probably not easy to buy ice in Fucheng. Alas, it's not an estimate, it's definitely hard to buy." He Yunxi sighed, "The weather this year is hotter than in previous years, and with the drought, ice will definitely be hard to buy."
Not easy to buy.”
In the summer when there is no ice, having to wear long sleeves and long pants all the time is almost killing me.
"I found the saltpeter you asked me to look for last time and put it in Fucheng." Lu Yan said.
He Yunxi's eyes suddenly brightened: "Found it?"
"Saltpeter is not hard to find. There are saltpeter mines in the Chenguan area. It just took some time to bring it back."
"That's great!" He Yunxi was very happy. If no one was around, she would hug Lu Yan and take a bite.
Luo Fu and the others didn't understand why she was so excited until they saw her using saltpeter to make ice. They were all shocked.
With this method, you don’t have to work hard to store ice in winter.
Moreover, this saltpeter can be reused, and the cost can be reduced to a very low level. Selling ice in the summer is also a way to make money!
He Yunxi did not do this himself, but gave it to the emperor. The emperor had people make ice and sell it, enriching his private treasury, and then gave a part of the reward to He Yunxi, and gave her a house in the capital.
, and gave her a village outside the capital.
Others were confused. The head of Chang'an County didn't even show his face. Why did the emperor give her another house?
Is this honor and favor more profound than those of those princesses?
