More than 40 bags of corn were stacked in the warehouse one by one, densely packed in large patches. Because the corn has just been peeled off, the moisture content is still slightly high, and after being bagged and stored for two days, it has to be dried again, so it cannot be stacked, so it is spread flat in the warehouse, occupying a whole room, which is very visually impactful.

Tang Wenyong looked at the room full of corn bags and the golden corn that appeared in the open pockets, and the smile on his face was as bright as a flower. Compared with the mountains of potatoes, I have to say that human habitual thinking still makes people feel that corn is closer to food in the traditional sense, and it is also more joyful and satisfying.

Qiu Chen hadn't studied psychology, and she didn't know what the Daoist people were thinking at this moment, but she could see that everyone's eyes were brighter when they looked at corn than when they saw potatoes, and there were more smiles on their faces. She pondered how to make these people more accepting of potatoes and realize the value of potatoes.

So, at dinner, Qiu Chen changed his tricks again and almost made a table full of potato dishes.

Hot and sour shredded potatoes, beef stewed potatoes, and local three fresh dishes are all dishes that have a good reputation, and they are naturally indispensable. This time, the new addition is a dish made with potato starch extracted from potato starch that has been ground into a pulp. It's too late to make vermicelli, so use potato starch to make cool skin, cold powder, soft and glutinous with crispy, plus balsamic vinegar, oil and spicy seeds, and a few drops of sesame oil, fragrant and refreshing, but also spicy appetizing, not only can be cooked, but also full, put in the summer to eat more refreshing.

The translucent crystal bun wrapped in potato starch is soft and glutinous to eat, with a little elastic teeth, and the fresh fragrance of the filling is really delicious.

It is also made of potato starch and beef and chicken, and the meat pieces are fragrant, and there is a soft glutinous potato starch in the middle......

A table of dishes, both meat and vegetarian, varied, but without exception, all use potatoes as raw materials, and without exception, the aroma is overflowing, mouth-watering, and the index finger is moving.

After eating this meal, I believe that not only Tang Wenyong will have a better view of potatoes, but other people who have not eaten it will know that this inconspicuous food can also be topped with food, and the key point is that it can also make all kinds of supreme deliciousness!

Corn wine was not made this year, but wine was plentiful. When the weather cools, the wine is more refreshing, and the taste is sweet and sour, not much different from sugar water.

Eating a table full of potato delicacies, Tang Wenyong thought about this kind of 'Jiahe' that can help the people of the world get rid of hunger, but it can't be promoted in the first time, so that more people can get food and clothing, so that Daming will no longer be hungry...... The more Tang Wenyong ate, the more he felt depressed, his heart was blocked and depressed, and the food he ate in his stomach seemed to have turned into sand and hay, which made him feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable...... He tilted his head and drank the wine from the glass in front of him, and Anren hurriedly stepped forward to pour it for him.

"Fill up!" Tang Wenyong stared coldly at An Lu and ordered.

Where do you dare to say at this time, it is Yang Shuren who said that drinking wine should be poured a little shallowly, just enough to taste it, and more is to drink horses and cows!

Tang Wenyong's eyes seemed to be attracted by the tumbling crimson liquid in the crystal clear glass, and he stared at An Rong for a moment and poured a full glass of wine, almost without waiting for An Rong to retreat, he reached out and picked up the glass, raised his head and drank it in one gulp, a drop of wine overflowed from the corner of his mouth, flowed down his jaw, and flowed straight into the collar, fainting a little red on his snow-white Hangzhou silk collar, but he seemed to know, put the glass in his hand on the table, and immediately said: "Pour wine!" ”

If it was a few times back and forth, the two glass bottles of wine sent by Qiu Chen had all been sold out. When Tang Wenyong put the wine glass on the table again and asked to pour wine, An Ruan knelt down with a puff: "Master, there is no wine, you have drunk a lot, how much wine hurts your body......"

"You!" Although two bottles of wine are not a few, Tang Wenyong was still very sober, he just drank it, but did not reprimand again, only said angrily, "Isn't it just a few glasses of fruit wine, you are also blocking the master?" You bastard......"

Anlu has followed him since he was a child, and before following him to the border to go into battle, he has eaten the wind and sand and suffered from the cold, and he is the most loyal, and he is smart and clever on weekdays, and he is also very knowledgeable and interesting in speaking and doing things...... At this time, he can advise like this, it is indeed because he is worried about his body, how can he lose his temper indiscriminately! He learned to control his temper when he was a child, and in that huge city that seemed to have no bounds, as if there were countless houses and houses, he had already been plucked out of his spikes and smoothed out by those cold and cruel ones? Hasn't he honed his ability to be moody and invisible?

At this time, how could he be angry with the most trusted guy for the sake of the things in the cup?

Qin Zheng, who had been sitting opposite and had not made a sound, raised his hand at this time to signal An Lu to get up, and then ordered: "Go outside and give an order, let them send wine again!" ”

An Lu had already stood up, blinked and looked at Qin Zheng, and saw that he was sitting upright like a yi, with an indifferent expression, so he no longer hesitated, answered, and hurriedly withdrew from the palace to ask for wine.

"Here, you can drink as much as you want, and you can do whatever you want...... Qin Zheng said lightly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, slowly shook the crimson wine in the glass, and then drank it in his mouth, lowered his eyes and slowly tasted it, before swallowing it slowly, "Drinking wine is like setting up a formation, not in a hurry, not in a panic, in order to see through the thousands of changes in the battle situation, and to lay out a relative formation...... As long as you do this, you can pour wine and wait for the celebration to drink! ”

The slight drunkenness on Tang Wenyong's face gradually turned red due to Qin Zheng's few words, his face was flushed, his eyes were black and clear without the slightest temperature, and he seemed to be hiding endless flames, and asked word by word: "So, can you tell me, what ...... for you?"

Why can't father and son be in harmony? Why can't you be a brother and a brother? Why is there no family affection, father and son? is obviously a close relative of flesh and blood, but like a mortal enemy, he can't pounce on three knives and six holes with red eyes? !

There are countless questions in his heart that he wants to break out, and he wants to ask one that he understands...... It's just that the words came to his mouth and he swallowed them again!

What to ask? Doesn't he see it better than anyone else? He also knew the Tao earlier, more thoroughly, and more physically and mentally than anyone else.

Besides, in that case, he couldn't ask. Or, no one answered him when he asked!

The words were choked in his throat, Tang Wenyong retracted his gaze dejectedly and lowered his head.

"Xi people, Jurchen, but the barbarian clan of the mountains and forests is powerless to fight against my Ming Dynasty...... But if I want to destroy Beijung and expand my territory, how can I allow them to continue to wander away? On the other hand, if Beirong successfully invades my Ming territory, will he allow others to watch on his belly? Naturally, it can't! Qin Zheng said slowly, as if it was the simplest military strategy, but Tang Wenyong could not understand the meaning of the words.

Before, because of his forbearance, Empress Wei of the Central Court and Empress Xu of the Central Palace of the Middle Palace had their own expertise and dealings with each other...... But no matter whether he forbears it or not, when the two factions divide the winners and losers, and when the winner takes his place, people like him who have nothing to do with the overall situation don't have to be lucky.

No matter who wins or loses in those two factions, it is impossible for the last one to let him go!

He had no way back and no other options. If he wants to live and live well, then he has only one way to go! The only way, there is absolutely no second option!

However, the habit of arguing with each other for many years, coupled with the resentment and resistance in his heart, made him not want to admit it just like that, so he couldn't help but ask: "In addition to those small tribes obeying the will of heaven and the people's will, can you tell me any better way?" Guarantee your own survival, and, moreover, the safety of your tribe......"

Qin Zhen lowered his eyes, raised his head again, looked at Tang Wenyong and said, "Yes." The small tribes are few and weak, and there is no way to compete with the big countries. But it is precisely because there are few people and little power that they behave far more cautiously and vigilantly than our other big countries! If you can restrain the people of the tribe and strive to strengthen your strength in the season when the other two opposing teams are opposed, who said, you can't flip it in one fell swoop when the other two sides are both defeated, and you can even 'compete with the crane and mussel to make a profit'! ”

After a pause, Qin Zheng said: "What's more, some tribes don't show mountains and waters, it's not that they have no mountains and no water, but they forbear and deny themselves, and don't show their strength rashly." …… Have you ever seen a hungry tiger pooping on food? It will not be like a pack of wolves, chasing and intercepting, biting and pestering madly; It will only slowly approach the target, look for the most favorable time and position, wait for the opportunity to move, and if it does not move, it will win! ”

Tang Wenyong listened silently, but his blushing face just now did not ease at all—the blush on his face at this time was no longer resentment and excitement, but the wine gradually came up, staining his cheeks and face.

"What's going on today? Why did you suddenly get the urge to drink? A woman's smiling voice came crisply through the door.

Qin Zheng's expression did not move, but he immediately turned his gaze away. Tang Wenyong's expression froze, he quickly adjusted the expression on his face, and returned to his usual lazy appearance, leaning on the big pillow behind him, with a playful smile, lazily looking at the indigo embroidered grass fish insect curtain!

The door curtain flickered, and a complete pattern of flowers, plants, fish and insects instantly broke the fold, Qin Yi stood at the door and raised the curtain, and then his face was clear, his expression was crisp and there was no lack of gentle women, and he walked in with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, I couldn't believe it when I went to ask for wine just now, I didn't expect Wen Yong to be so temperamental......" Qiu Chen smiled and said slightly, bent his knees to greet Qin Zheng, and turned back to salute Tang Wenyong, but when she was halfway through her salute, a tall and straight figure came to her, stretched out her arm, and helped her up who was about to salute.

"Well, you don't have to pay attention to these false etiquette now!" Tang Wenyong said casually with a smile, and then said, "Since you're here, you might as well sit down and have a few drinks...... Tonight's food is really good, and you told us about it! ”

and Tang Wenyong are also old acquaintances, especially after making a marriage contract with Qin Zheng, and having Qin Zheng by his side, Qiu Chenben doesn't care much about those rules and etiquette, but she can also see it at this time, Tang Wenyong is afraid that there is something to drink to drown his sorrows, his expression is not visible at this time, but his emotions and language are obviously wrong...... Before, there was a lot of jokes and jokes, but Tang Wenyong never made any mistakes or omissions in business, and now, if it weren't for the wrong mood, how could he let her, her fiancée, drink with her in front of Qin Zheng?

Thinking quickly, Qiu Chen took two steps back to the side with a smile, and asked Qin Yi, who followed behind, to put a large jar of wine on the ground. The mud seal on the wine jar has been removed, and only a layer of mulberry paper is left at the mouth of the jar...... Then, Qin Yi and An Lu cooperated, took the wine spill, poured the wine into the empty glass wine bottle, and then An Lu took the wine and poured it for Tang Wenyong.

"Hey, how about I taste this jar......" Tang Wenyong said as he raised his head and drank a whole glass of wine.

Qiu Chen looked at Tang Wenyong Niu after drinking a glass of wine, turned his gaze, exchanged glances with Qin Zheng, and then said with a smile: "Just now, these dishes are all affordable, and they are delicious, but they are really not suitable for drinking wine and making snacks...... Drink, I'll make two more appetizers! ”

After speaking, he bent his knees slightly, regardless of the other party's expression or what he thought in his heart, he just turned around and left, and went straight to the big kitchen in the back garden to add food here.

After two teas, Qiu Chen took a girl and turned back with a three-layer food box.

Qiu Chen put a few side dishes on the table one by one, a plate of cucumber and jellyfish skin, a plate of smoked shredded chicken, a plate of crystal jelly, and a plate of boneless pickled pepper and phoenix feet, and said with a smile: "These few things are light and refreshing, and they should be suitable with wine......

Turning around, the two glass bottles of wine bottomed out again, Tang Wenyong's face was flushed, he looked at her and said with a smile: "It's still sister-in-law...... Well, it's too early to call your sister-in-law, why don't you call you sister? ”

Qiu Chen smiled: "I'm just a younger brother, what's the matter with one more!" …… However, you will be my brother in the future, but you will have to listen to me! ”

Tang Wenyong held the wine glass in his hand, nodded again and again: "That's nature!" My brother listens to my sister in everything! ”

Qiu Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "Okay, then I'm welcome, I'll give you two more bottles of wine, and after drinking, I won't drink more!" ”

Tang Wenyong sneered, put down the wine glass, got up and waved his hand: "My brother knows what I said, my sister can rest assured!" ”

Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look at Qin Zheng, the two of them understood, Qiu Chen turned his gaze back, smiled and stretched out his hand to help Tang Wenyong: "Okay, get up quickly......"

After dinner, send the two away. Tang Wenyong walked in front with the help of An Lu in a fusy footstep, and talked to Yang Shumeng about the planting of corn and potatoes. Qin Zheng picked up Ah Fu as soon as he went out, and walked behind Qiu Chen with him. Qin Yi and Qin Xiao went outside the door to prepare the carriage and horses, but the girls didn't follow, and no one came over for more than a dozen steps to join in the fun, which was unexpectedly clean.

Qin Zheng said a few words to Ah Fu, asked Ah Fu about his studies, and then turned to Qiu Chen and said, "When I go back this time, I will prepare to return to Beijing, so I will not come here again." ”

Tang Wenyong brought several glaze masters, after these days of learning from each other, under the hints of some people, several inner glaze masters unreservedly passed on their skills of firing glaze to Jialiang. Correspondingly, Jialiang also taught several glass masters the key skills of making optical glass, decolorization and bubbles, which can be said to be both sides have their own gains, and both the host and the guest are happy.

Tang Wenyong called a few Liuli masters to ask questions before dinner today, and Qiu Chen guessed that they were leaving, so he was not surprised to hear Qin Zheng say this at this time.

Nodding, Qiu Chen was silent for a moment, and said: "No matter what you face when you return to Beijing, don't 'recur old injuries'!" …… One way is used too much, and no one believes it! ”

Qin Zheng turned his head to look at Qiu Chen, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he nodded after a moment: "Don't worry!" ”

This is what Qiu Chen has always wanted to explain, and after this sentence is finished, she can hardly find a topic for her who doesn't know about the capital and the court disputes.

The two of them walked to the gate in silence together, and they could already see the excitement outside the door, Tang Wenyong was talking to Yang Shumeng, and Qin Yi and the others had prepared the carriage and horses, and even put the footstool for boarding the car.

Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen's footsteps stopped in the door at the same time, and then spoke together: "You ...... go back to Beijing."

"I'll ...... when I'm gone"

As they spoke, the two stopped at the same time and looked at each other with slight surprise and faint joy. Then, the two of them spoke at the same time: "You speak first......!" ”

"You say ......"

After the collision again, the two looked at each other and smiled, Ah Fu leaned on Qin Zheng's shoulder and laughed in a daze, while tilting his head to look at Qiu Chen and winking...... These few times, Qin Zheng always took Ah Fu to talk when he came over, inspecting his boxing skills and schoolwork, although the time spent together was short, Qiu Chen was surprised to find that Ah Fu, who was too taciturn, actually became lively and cheerful.

Qiu Chen reached out and pinched Ah Fu's little face, because he was close, Qin Zheng naturally reached out and grabbed Qiu Chen's shoulder, Qiu Chen involuntarily fell into Qin Zheng's arms, and Ah Fu was still sandwiched between the two, and suddenly became a state of three embracing.

"You ......" Qiu Chen's body stiffened slightly, and just as he was about to open his mouth to stop it, he heard Qin Zheng's voice ringing low in his ears.

"Wen Yong's surname is actually Yang, and he is the second in line!" After a slight pause, without waiting for Qiu Chen's reaction, he said, "After I leave, be careful in everything, and be careful when entering and leaving." ”

Although Qiu Chen was somewhat aware of the previous signs and had some guesses, Qiu Chen still felt quite shocked when she heard Qin Zheng tell her about it in person. The body lay in Qin Zheng's arms, forgetting the struggle.

After a moment, Qiu Chen felt a sinking in her arms, and a pair of small hands climbed up her shoulders and wrapped around her neck, she suddenly woke up, and hurriedly hugged Ah Fu, raised her eyes, and saw that Qin Zheng just let go of the hand holding Ah Fu, took a step back, and admonished: "Take Qin Li and them in and out...... I also have people around me, so it should be fine, and there is no need to panic too much. ”

The muscles on Qiu Chen's face stiffened, but he tried his best to pull out a relaxed smile, nodded and said, "Don't worry!" ”

Qin Zheng stared at her for a moment, stared at her for a long time, and then said, "Transfer the people in the west mansion...... I'm leaving! ”

The voice of the first half of the sentence was extremely low, and the second half of the sentence only let go of the volume, stared at Qiu Chen for a moment, and finally turned his gaze away, raised his hand and touched Ah Fu's head, and advised: "Take good care of your mother!" ”

Ah Fu nodded obediently and waved goodbye to Qin Zheng!

Qin Zheng didn't take his eyes off, raised his legs and walked two steps, raised his hand and waved it twice, turned around, straightened his back and strode straight to the carriage, boarded the carriage and left, and never looked back!

Ah Fu struggled to slide to the ground, took Qiu Chen's hand, and watched the carriage drift away under the guards, gradually disappearing into the twilight of the Sihe.

When night falls, the night officially begins. But when night falls, isn't it the beginning of a new dawn?!

After Qin Zheng and Tang Wenyong left, Qiu Chen followed Qin Zheng's instructions, closed the door to thank the guests, and took care of the workshop and home.

She handed over all the preparations for the dowry to the Chen family, and some daily necessities were also given a general opinion, and the specific regulations and etiquette and other things were also pushed to Mrs. Liu and the Zhou family to worry about. In addition to going to the workshop every morning to take care of it, she took her family to clean up the vegetable patch in the back garden, level the vegetable bed, and found two master carpenters to install the glass conservatory that was dismantled in the spring. Every day after breakfast, she went to the glass conservatory to watch her family cultivate autumn and winter vegetable seedlings, such as peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and eggplants...... Looking at the young shoots that broke through the soil, she couldn't help but be full of joy. This winter, I finally don't have to use radish and cabbage every day!

Qin Zheng and Tang Wenyong left at the end of August, and in the blink of an eye, it was September, and it was the ninth Double Ninth Festival in September. The wind blows on the body without a sense of stickiness, refreshing and cool, and even a little cold in the morning and evening, and the weak physique has to add a thin jacket.

Last year, on the Double Ninth Day, the family climbed high and looked far away, but this year, Qiu Chen did not have this interest.

There was a holiday in the school as usual, Qiu Chen discussed with Qin Li the night before, and Qin Li and Qin Yong took the children up the mountain to climb the heights, but Qiu Chen did not follow.

However, what is different from last year is that a few days in advance, there are people who come and go from the county seat and the capital city to send Boxing gifts, including many varieties of precious and delicate chrysanthemums. The family members of the two gardeners all knew some gardening and flower planting, so Qiu Chen handed over these flowers to those two people to take care of. The two people who have planted vegetables for a year are happy or something, like a treasure, and take care of them carefully every day, because Qiu Chen does not like flower arrangement, Mrs. Liu and Zhou also maintain the most simple crop people's thoughts, thinking that flowers, grass, and crops are still the best to grow in pots, yes, the night before Chongyang, Chen commanded the mother-in-law to fill the yards with all kinds of chrysanthemums. The railings of the eaves corridor, the corners of the corridors, under the windows, and even on both sides of the corridor, are spread out, the yellow ones are like bright gold, the red ones are like flames, the black chrysanthemums seem to be heavy and can't dissolve the blood, and the elegant green chrysanthemums are not ostentatious, the handsome and elegant ones seem to be outside the world, and there is a great Yishi style, and the chrysanthemums of all kinds and colors will be the flowers of the inner and outer triple courtyards, which almost make people forget that they are in the bleak autumn, but it is like returning to the spring of a hundred flowers.

Not only that, but the gentlemen in the school all picked two pots by themselves, and the classrooms in the school also sent a few pots to furnish.

------Off topic------

That's all for now......
