Chapter Ninety-Four: The Five Treasures

A picture of a bustling and lively street market suddenly unfolded in front of him, which made Jiang Rong feel new and dizzy.

Seeing that their eyes couldn't bulge out, Xiao Yu said with a sly face beside him: "I've been here to Danyang County several times, but there's actually nothing." Look at you all like dirt buns, don't stand with me when you get off the bus later, otherwise I will be despised by others. โ€

Jiang Rong was speechless and ignored him. Nima, you dare to say that they are dirt buns, what qualifications do you have and what position do you have to say this! Don't stand with him, if you have the ability, you can go down now!

But it's just a matter of slandering in my heart, but it's not necessary to say it. She has already experienced the thickness of this guy's skin during this time, and the more she takes care of him, the more endless he becomes.

However, Jiang Yu couldn't help it, and immediately retorted with his eyes: "You are the soil bun!" Bumpkin! Bumpkin! โ€

Swear three times!

Although Jiang Yu was young, he also knew that "soil buns" were not a good word, so he immediately scolded back.

"Uh......" Xiao Yu was stunned, looking at the little baby's bright eyes glaring at her, she suddenly didn't dare to look directly, and a sense of guilt rose in her heart like never before.

Touching his nose in a sneer, he said, "Okay, my brother is wrong, Ah Yu shouldn't be better with me?" โ€

As he spoke, he was about to touch Jiang Yu's head, but he turned his head and avoided it.

Jiang Rong immediately burst out laughing, and Jiang Lan and the Li family couldn't help but hook the corners of their mouths.

In order to make up for his mistakes, Xiao Yu took the initiative to introduce them, "Speaking of which, Danyang County also has a few things worth talking about, and there is a limerick poem that says this - Danyang has five treasures, Jiyun grass, gourd dates, and unicorn horns." Snow rooster, white kimono (jiรก) clothes, and emerald beauty red rouge. โ€

"Danyang has five treasures, Jiyun grass, gourd dates, and unicorn horns. Snow rooster, white kimono (jiรก) clothes, and emerald beauty red rouge. Jiang Rong read it in his heart, and felt that this limerick poem was quite smooth and catchy to read.

It's just that the "five treasures" in this refer to which five treasures?

Jiyun grass, gourd dates and snow rooster still sound like that, but what do these "unicorn horns" and "red rouge of emerald beauty" refer to?

Is there really a unicorn in this world?

Seeing the doubts of several people, Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth curved, and smiled proudly in his heart, I don't know, right? It seems that I'm a jack of all trades to solve your questions.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this again.

He clenched his fist to his lips to hide the smug smile lines at the corners of his mouth, coughed lowly, and said softly: "These five treasures are all contained in the poem, have you guessed which five treasures?" โ€

Jiang Rong was silent, Jiang Yu was confused, and finally Jiang Lan said uncertainly: "Jiyun grass, gourd dates, unicorn horns, snow chickens, and ...... Emerald beauty's red rouge? โ€

"Ha, you guessed it! The kid is very good, much better than some people. Xiao Yu glanced at Jiang Rong meaningfully.

Listening to his praise, Jiang Lan's face remained unchanged, and he only stared at him, waiting for his further explanation.

Xiao Yu straightened his sitting posture, cleared his throat, and said: "This auspicious cloud grass is a strange grass born in the east of Jiujing Mountain in Danyang County, and horses eat without hunger......

Jiang Lan immediately expressed his doubts, "Eat but not hungry?" How can it be? Doesn't the horse never feel hungry if it eats this grass? โ€

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, "Boy, don't interrupt me, you can listen to me." โ€

Jiang Lan's face turned red all of a sudden, and he retracted his seat and stopped talking.

"The so-called 'horses eat without hunger' is just saying, of course Jiyun grass is not so magical, but it is indeed a very filling grass, of course, for horses."

"And you should all know what a horse means to a country-" Xiao Yu looked around, Jiang Rong and Jiang Lan both had clear eyes, their eyes were bright, and they obviously understood that there was no pressure.

As a result, when I turned to Jiang Yu, I found that he had a confused expression, as if he didn't know what he was talking about.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but look depressed, lifted his forehead, and sighed in his heart, "Okay, you don't understand this to you, as long as you know that horses are very important to a country, like we usually ride in carriages, transport goods, and fight, etc., these are indispensable horses."

"However, to feed such a large number of horses, the amount of feed needed is not small. You should have all heard the saying, 'Before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first', which means that before sending troops to fight, you must first prepare grain and forage, of which forage is the grain specially prepared for war horses.

"I don't know what the situation was in the previous dynasty, but I know a thing or two about the situation in this dynasty.

"If it's okay in peacetime, but once a war starts, the amount of grain and grass needed is extremely large. I don't know how much money the imperial court spends on this every year, and more than half of the money of the household department goes here.

"But since the discovery of this auspicious cloud grass, the situation has improved a lot. Do you know why? โ€

Xiao Yu looked at a few people, and Jiang Rong said, "Didn't you say it just now?" Jiyun grass is a very filling forage for horses, which means that the same amount of Jiyun grass feed can meet the needs of more horses than the original feed.

"For example, a horse originally needed to eat three catties of forage every day, but after changing to Jiyun grass, it only needed one catty or half a catty, so the same three catties of Jiyun grass feed can support three or more horses at the same time.

"This has two advantages, one is that it can greatly reduce the transportation of grain and grass and save freight; In addition, it is also lighter and faster to transport, which saves time, can take more opportunities, and is more conducive to the war situation. โ€

After a pause, Jiang Rong thought of something again, and raised his voice a little more: "Oh, by the way, there is one more point!"

"You just mentioned that Jiyun grass is a kind of wild grass that grows in the east of Jiujing Mountain in Danyang County, that is to say, this grass does not belong to any family, but belongs to the imperial court, so the imperial court does not need to spend extra money to buy forage, only a little processing fee, compared with the original, doesn't it save a lot of silver?"

After speaking, Jiang Rong looked at Xiao Yu with a smile, "What I said is right?" โ€

Xiao Yu's eyes showed appreciation, and he looked at her with burning eyes and said, "Yes, your analysis is very correct." Xiao Rongrong is really impressive! โ€

Jiang Rong snorted arrogantly, and said without modesty: "Of course, don't look at who I am." โ€

Li Shi next to her couldn't help but shave her face, and said softly: "Look at your frivolous appearance, praise you and your tail will rise to the sky?" โ€

said this in her mouth, but her eyes were implicitly worried, her daughter was already so smart and transparent at such a young age, how could she get it when she grew up?

As a parent, how can she not expect her children to be good? It's just that there is a sentence called "Wisdom will hurt", she is afraid that her daughter will be too smart and her fate will be bumpy.

Feeling Li's worries, Jiang Rong hurriedly threw herself into her arms and behaved for a while, so that she could be regarded as dispersing the hidden worries in her heart.

Xiao Yu continued to talk about the second treasure, "Gourd jujube is another famous specialty of Danyang County, its shape is like a gourd, round and full after ripening, bright and moist color, juicy and watery, very sweet, and the taste is very good. โ€

Hearing this, several people swallowed their saliva unconsciously, hearing Xiao Yu say this, this gourd jujube doesn't seem to be ordinarily delicious, they really want to buy it and taste it immediately.

Jiang Yu immediately shouted: "Gourd dates! Gourd dates! I'm going to eat, I'm going to eat......"

Jiang Rong hurriedly held him down and asked Xiao Yu, "When will the gourd dates ripen?" Can you buy it now? โ€

Xiao Yu shook his head and sighed, "Don't say that it's not yet time for the gourd dates to ripen, even if it's here, you can't buy them lightly." โ€

Jiang Rong frowned slightly, "Could it be that this gourd jujube is very expensive?" It's not like we don't have any money, no matter how expensive it is, we have to have a number, right? How can you not buy it? Didn't you just say that this is a specialty of Danyang County? Isn't it true that someone else planted it and sold it? โ€

Xiao Yu couldn't help laughing, "What you said is right, but what, the production of gourd dates in Danyang County is very scarce every year, and most of them have to be paid tribute to the palace, and there are even fewer left."

"The so-called scarcity is expensive, and its price is naturally not ordinarily high, and ordinary people can't afford it. So, even if you have the money, there is nowhere to buy it. โ€

It turned out to be like this, Jiang Rong couldn't help but sigh, if this was the case, then they might not really be able to eat this gourd date.

However, just because others can't help it doesn't mean she doesn't have it either. Even if she can't buy gourd dates, can't she grow them herself?

When the time comes, she will get a gourd jujube tree into the space, she will not believe it, with the good environment in the space, she will not be able to bear gourd jujubes.

Thinking like this, Jiang Rong didn't show any disappointment on her face, she touched Jiang Yu's head and said, "Don't worry, there will be gourd dates, and I will ask you to eat enough when the time comes." โ€

Jiang Yu immediately laughed, and his little face was as bright as a sunflower.

Looking at his smile like this, Jiang Rong also felt unprecedented satisfaction in his heart.

On the other side, Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with interest, and he asked, "Xiao Rongrong, do you have a way to get gourd dates?" Don't forget me then. โ€

Jiang Rong blinked his eyes and said, "You'll know this then." โ€

Avoiding him from asking questions, she quickly changed the topic and said, "Okay, after talking about Jiyun grass and gourd dates, what is that unicorn horn?" It can't really be the horn of the legendary beast unicorn, right? โ€

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, "Xiao Rongrong, you think too much, what do you think about in your little head all day long, where did the divine beasts and unicorns come from in this world, they are all made up by the predecessors to coax children, you also believe it." (To be continued.) )
