The old couple who had a son did not forget their daughter, and still took care of the children for their daughter. Now the baby Bei Bei is almost eight months old, very strong, very strong, Bei Bei can stand up immediately with the hand of the adult, and the two hands of the person are very powerful, and the movements are much more flexible. Grandma and the two Jingqi grandmothers looked at each other with good eyes.

Baby Beibei can already crawl, although she doesn't climb fast, she is very hard, and when she is tired, she will lie on her back face for a while and then continue to climb, and she can stand up by herself against the wall; can tear paper, look down everywhere when toys fall on the ground, and knock on the rice bowl with chopsticks; The cutest thing is that you can tickle, but you can't scratch the place you want to scratch, and you scream anxiously. Yun'er helped her son tickle: "Is this here?" If not, Babe will shake her head, and if it is, she will simply say "Hmm! The sound of the two index fingers will be pulled apart by pointing together, and grandma said that this is "doodoo flying".

Now the baby and Bei Bei are obviously much more advanced in terms of language development than when they came back, they will imitate adults, and when grandma feeds them white porridge, they will make a "ahh will also make a "bye-bye" sound to say goodbye to Yun'er.

Yun'er is quite patient with them, telling them which is grandma, who is grandpa, who is brother, and who is sister. He often asks them, "Are you thirsty?" Hungry? You drink white porridge made by grandma, baby Beibei is really good. ”

Xuan'er also participates in the exercise of her younger siblings, showing them in the mirror, getting to know herself, and telling them where the nose is, which is the ear, which is the mouth, and where the eyes are. Mrs. Chen followed the method her daughter said, so that the baby Beibei often went outdoors and had more contact with people. There are more people in Feiyun Tower than in Grandma's family, so Mrs. Chen and the two Jingqi grandmothers pushed them to Feiyun Tower in a small car to play. Many girls want to hug the little master, but they don't dare, for fear of falling. I don't dare to touch it if I like it. This is Gege and Lord Belle, so small to have the imperial seal, noble.

The emperor saw the baby Bei Bei once, he liked it very much, he held one with one hand, and finally Bei Bei tested the emperor's ninth uncle, and saw that he "knew how to pour (know how to water) and did not know how to pour", and put a bubble of boy urine on the dragon robe. The emperor laughed and said repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay, the imperial brother will find me a set of clothes to change." ”

But the prince is tall and burly, and he can't wear his clothes at all, let alone Xuan'er's clothes, so he has to wear Tian Liang's clothes, which are about the same height and fat as the emperor, - the horseshoe sleeve arrow coat of the palace guards. Not to mention, the emperor immediately had the heroic posture of a martial artist.

There is also a person who is about the same figure as the emperor, but this person is a eunuch, and his clothes must not be worn by the emperor.

The emperor especially likes baby Beibei, holding it and not letting go. Baby Beibei also gave the emperor a son, she didn't cry or make trouble, and she giggled at the emperor, and the emperor was even happier, and gave the nine dragon jade pendant on his waist and the green jade wrench in his hand to Baby Beibei. Both of these things are worn by the emperor himself, and if they are obtained in a foreign land, they will be priceless treasures. It has the words "Emperor Shunzhi Imperial Use" on it. Baby Beibei likes it very much and plays with it all the time.

Of course, the prince's return gifts are also very rich, all of which are food for the princes and princesses, and they are also what the prince did not have when he entered the palace to give gifts. For example, fruit juice drinks Wahaha, Shuang Crooked, fresh oranges, canned milk, yogurt, chocolate biscuits, candied fruit, canned walnut kernels, bagged shredded squid, hawthorn slices, fruit dan peel, and various jams, seaweed soup, meat floss, pistachios, eight-treasure porridge, puffed food, etc.

The emperor took it back like a treasure and sent it directly to Cining Palace to be distributed by the Queen Mother. He and the Queen Mother are mostly in different political views, and if they have anything delicious and fun, they can use their mother first, which is still relatively filial.

Among them, there are two packets of one-pound "seaweed iodized salt" that attracted the great attention of the Queen Mother. The word "seaweed iodine" does not have traditional Chinese characters, but the word "salt" is "salt", and it took a long time to guess before it was barely determined. However, the salt of the Qing Dynasty is all large-grained, not powdery, so I am very curious and dare not use it, for fear of making a mistake.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a great shortage of salt, and the imperial court wanted to keep salt firmly in its own hands. Because the process of producing salt is very troublesome, very primitive, and very expensive, the imperial court takes advantage of the high price of official salt to make high profits, and the common people cannot afford to eat salt, so there is a reckless illegal salt trafficking. It is not like an exotic land, it is all produced by modern equipment, whether it is "official salt" sold in state-run stores or "private salt" sold by individual traders, all at the same price, one dollar per bag, and it is supplied openly. Whether it is political turmoil or natural disasters, there is no time when there is a shortage of salt, and the salt shortage is man-made. More than seven-tenths of the earth's places are sea, and the sea water is salty, and every ton of sea water can produce 30 kilograms of table salt, so how much salt can be produced from so much seawater? Nothing is lacking in salt!

The Queen Mother brought the emperor and told him about the salt very seriously. Open the package of iodized seaweed salt and let the doctor check whether it is salt and whether it is poisonous. made the emperor angry: "What do you mean, Huang Eniang?" Brother Huang, he will poison the salt? ”

"The emperor misunderstood, E-Niang wants to determine whether this iodized salt is salt or not, if so, you invite Lord Rui and ask him if he has mastered the method of drying salt over there? Let's clear ......"

"Huang Eniang! Brother Huang gave me two packets of salt and gave me trouble? It's just two packets of salt, and it's only been a year for him to go to a foreign land, so he can't learn everything, right? Do you want to make a decree for him to make salt? What do you need, he will have to do it? I don't know how much of his savings were spent on those two greenhouses and an ice cellar, you ......"

"Your Majesty, you are also in a hurry, Eniang didn't ask him to make salt, she just wanted to ask him if he knew how to make salt in that foreign land, just don't know, and there is nothing to blame. Wouldn't it be better to know? He doesn't need to dry the salt by himself, what if other people's methods are faster than ours? E-Niang heard that those salt workers who dry salt are particularly hard, if there is a better way, wouldn't it also save effort? ”

The emperor was speechless, but he was also disgusted with his mother's climbing along the pole, and when he saw two bags of salt, he thought about the way to make salt from the people, which was too much. But this matter is really for the sake of the country, and she has no selfish thoughts. I'm angry, and I'm a little sorry for my mother. But he didn't want to admit his mistake, so he said to the Queen Mother: "Let's let the royal brother do the right thing, and I'll talk about the salt later." ”

The Queen Mother is angry. After the emperor left, the queen mother said to the imperial doctor: "Do you think there will be a problem with these two packets of salt?" ”

Taiyi A said: "Back to the Queen Mother, Weichen doesn't know where you got these two packs of fine salt, the quality is quite good!" There are no impurities, it melts when it comes into contact with water, and we can't make it out of the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Why is it called seaweed iodized salt?"

Wechen looked at the description on the top of his pocket, which read:

Seaweed iodized salt is made of natural seawater as raw material and refined by advanced sun-drying technology, which has the characteristics of translucent color, fresh and sweet taste, easy to dissolve, high purity, etc., and is suitable for eating, storing and pickling all kinds of food. ”

"Aren't there still a lot of words on the pocket? Read it to Hongu. ”

"Huh. Seaweed iodine in addition to contained, this, this I don't know what the word is, Weichen doesn't know ......" The imperial doctor's face was red.

"Jump over if you don't know and keep reading."

“…… In addition to organic iodine, it also contains mannitol, small molecule trehalose, and soluble seaweed starch. The organic iodine absorbed by the human body can be decomposed in the body to release iodine for the needs of the thyroid gland, and it can also be stored in the form of fat or protein to store excess iodine for use when needed. Compared with pure organic iodine, seaweed iodine is more conducive to human absorption, and the inorganic iodine in seaweed iodine can be quickly absorbed and utilized by the human body, while the organic iodine is more conducive to monthly storage and utilization. Although inorganic iodine is relatively easy to absorb and can directly enter the thyroid gland, the excess iodine ions cannot be stored in the body and are directly eliminated from the body. That's too profound, isn't it? Wechen has worked in Tai Hospital for more than 30 years and has never been exposed to such advanced knowledge. "Reading the instructions, the sleeves of the doctor wiped the beads of sweat rolling down, and I felt like I was about to suffocate!

The Queen Mother laughed happily: "Have you met an opponent?" These two packets of salt were brought back by Rui Wangye, although we don't know much about explaining these esoteric words, but one thing is certain, this kind of salt has more than our Daqing salt, such as seaweed and iodine. Do you see what other words are on it? Let Imperial Physician Xie read it, what are you nervous about, this palace won't kill your head just because you can't read it, right? Doctor Xie? ”

"Huh! Zhang Taiyi didn't read these words, Weichen came to read: Food name: seaweed iodized salt, product standard number, I don't know; Ingredient list: refined salt, seaweed iodine, sodium chloride; Storage method: sealed, protected from light, moisture-proof; How to eat: Add after the food is cooked; Date of manufacture: see back plate; The storage period is three years. The words below are too small for Weichen to read clearly. ”

"Father-in-law, you come to read."

Father-in-law Qiang hurriedly took the iodized salt bag in Imperial Physician Xie's hand, cleared his throat, and read: "Seaweed iodized salt containing seaweed iodine concentrate is a new generation of iodized salt products, iodine in seaweed, I don't know, it's inorganic iodine, I don't know, it's organic iodine, it's organic iodine, seaweed iodine has the advantages of both inorganic iodine and organic iodine.

Seaweed iodine is a pure natural food, in the call of food 'return to nature', compared with inorganic chemicals as additives for products, seaweed iodized salt is suitable for all groups of people ideal natural seasoning iodine supplements; seaweed iodized salt has good thermal stability, obviously much better than ordinary inorganic iodized salt, providing good raw materials for stir-fried cooking rice. In addition to being rich in iodine, seaweed iodized salt concentrate is also rich in sulfate polysaccharides, alginic acid polysaccharides, fucoidan, fucoidan, unsaturated fatty acids - eicocarbon unrecognized acid, etc. The organic iodine in seaweed has the effect of not knowing and hormones, and can improve the function of bioactive substances in the human body and promote the ...... of "Qiang Gonggong fell gorgeously. His nerves were too tight, because he didn't know or understand too much, he couldn't read it coherently, what protease, glucose, fatty acids, potassium iodate, were words he hadn't heard or seen, and many of them were specious words, and he couldn't even guess them.

"Okay, okay, this palace seems to be listening to foreign words, it seems that Lord Rui has gone to a foreign country. When you have time, ask them again, and you can kneel in peace. ”

After kowtowing, the doctors stood up with the sweat on their heads, took a few steps back and turned to go out.

The Queen Mother began to ponder these two bags of salt. It's just two bags of salt, and what seaweed, iodine, what to do with that complicated. There are also those words, people who have no knowledge simply can't understand them, and even the students of the Great Qing Dynasty may not be able to understand them, so the country that Lord Rui and they went to is really mysterious.

In fact, she didn't understand what the instructions were talking about. Many of them are words used in the daily life of exotic people, such as seaweed, iodine, fat, and glucose.

"Father-in-law Qiang, you go to King Rui's Mansion tomorrow to invite Lord Rui, together with that Tian guard, just say that there are a lot of things that you don't understand in this palace to ask, and your tone must be modest and polite."

"Huh!"

Wang Ye and Tian Liang didn't expect that giving the emperor two packets of salt would cause a lot of trouble. The old man of the Queen Mother doesn't care whether people are busy or not, and carries people into the palace at any time.

Early the next morning, Father-in-law Qiang came and announced the Queen Mother's message: "The Queen Mother said, let the servants invite the Rui Wangye and Tian guards of the Rui Wangfu, there are many things to ask for advice." Let the minions be humble and polite. ”

Since the Queen Mother is invited, let's go.

"Father-in-law, later, this king will change his clothes."

"Huh!"

Cining Palace, the prince and Tian Liang gave the queen mother a gift, the queen mother gave a seat, and Su Moer served tea.

"Lord Rui, the emperor brought back a lot of delicious food from your house, including two packets of seaweed iodized salt, this palace is very curious, seaweed and iodine are eaten with salt, okay? This bag of salt was brought back by you to the emperor, and the words on it were stumbling with the doctor. The people in that place you go to seem to be very knowledgeable, right? ”

"The science and technology of that country is more advanced than that of the Qing Dynasty, and the common people have to receive nine years of compulsory education, which means that they must study for nine years, regardless of gender. So, basically everyone knows how to read. Of course, there are also illiterate people, and most of them are in rural or remote areas, where there are no schools in relatively poor areas. The seaweed iodized salt you mentioned is seaweed and iodine added to the salt dried in seawater. In the past, the salt they used was dried and finely added to the sea, which had a bitter taste. When seaweed and iodine are added, it not only has a salty taste, but also a delicious taste. Let you feel pure and fresh. The iodine in it can prevent thyroid disease, which is the thick neck root. Many of the words on this are professional terms, and the minister has only read a few books, but I heard the eldest sister over there talk about the role of seaweed iodized salt in layman's terms. ”

"You know what? Yesterday, the two imperial doctors were sweating profusely when they read the instructions on the salt packets, and Qiang Gonggong fainted when he read it. This palace thinks about how you can communicate with people in such a place, it's not easy. ”

"The people over there are usually very plain and easy to understand when they speak, and the imperial doctor and the strong father-in-law read all professional terms, not to mention our Qing people, even the people there don't necessarily understand it."

"That's good. What Hongu wants to ask is how much salt should I put in each time? ”

"This is going to be based on the weight of the taste, put it less first, add a little more if you don't think it's good, and you can figure out the law after a long time. It is advisable to put the salt in a jar with a lid, otherwise the iodine in it will evaporate, like a basin of water left there, and tomorrow it will be much less. If it is volatilized, it will have little effect. This salt dissolves easily, and it can be eaten after mixing well in cold dishes. Don't put too much, eating too salty is not good for the heart. ”
