Chapter 612: Buying Fruits

The fruit was about to ripen soon, and the prince handed over the task of purchasing the fruit to Mang Ge and ******, and asked them to take a few guards and personal soldiers to the fruit producing areas to publicize and order, and the two big guards who had always obeyed the prince's orders in everything had to be in charge alone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The two of them are really unambiguous, and they went to the countryside with gongs, drums, cymbals, suona and Yangge teams. What's so lively about the people who will be there? Suddenly, the Yangge performance that can only be seen during the New Year came, and it was like a festival, and Mang Ge and his party were surrounded. Mang Ge and ****** stood on the cart and gave an advertising speech, explaining all the things to do for the purchase of fruits, and the effect was very good! At that time, someone signed up to send how many catties of fruit, and they had to invite the two of them to eat. The hearts of the people of that era were very kind, and it was impossible to defraud in the business of paying money with one hand and delivering goods with the other. In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, there is an endless stream of fruit carts at the Dongbian Gate of the Eastern Foreign Mansion of the Royal Palace. The two are responsible for supervising the quality of the fruit and the weighing and payment, and will never make a white slip in arrears

Fruits cannot be stored when they are harvested and should be disposed of immediately. If the juice content is high, the juice is squeezed, such as watermelon, grapes, and peaches. The juicing effect of apples and pears is not ideal. But apples and pears can be made into canned fruits.

The fruit juice was handed over to Qian Jin, the small leader of the personal soldiers recommended by Tian Liang to the prince, a strong man about thirty years old. At first glance, he is a generous person. He took a dozen or so soldiers to take on the task of fruit juice. The canned fruit was handed over to another small leader of the soldiers. Squeezed and sold, it supplies Yulong hot and cold drinks, and it is a bit in short supply.

Zhili (Hebei Province), which is close to Beijing, is a place rich in fruits, with peaches, pears, apples, plums, cherries, grapes, watermelons, and apricots being the most.

Not all canned fruits are made in one way, such as pears, apples and peaches, which are made according to the different characteristics of the fruits.

Canned fruits are more suitable for the elderly and people with bad teeth. It can also be given as a gift during the New Year's holidays. The problem is that it can't sit for a long time, there's a time limit. Exotic canned fruits have preservatives in them, so they can be left for about half a year. However, all foods containing preservatives have some negative effects on the body, so the prince decided that canned fruits should not be produced in large quantities, but only made some during the period when the fruits are on the market in large quantities, and then sold them during the New Year, which is about half a year, all within the shelf life. If there is a lot of juice, you can squeeze the juice and sell it at any time, because the dog weather people's attention is still on the food that relieves the heat.

Tian Liang taught Qian Jin the skill of juicing, and he was solely responsible. Not to mention, this Qian Jin squad leader is very conscientious and responsible, and he took his soldiers from morning to night, squeezing out a large amount of watermelon, grape and peach juice, diluting and adding sugar to make a drinkable commercial juice, and sending it to the cold drink shop in time to sell, which is really money. received a material reward from the prince.

The purchase of fruit is a very big experience for the two of them, not that they were born with rough lines, but because they are too dependent. Let them be the masters of the house now, and if they can't solve it, ask the prince, not to mention, to complete the mission decently. The prince said that Zhang Fei had entered the eye of the needle.

It was Yun'er's idea to take the Yangge team to the countryside, but the people who participated were selected by Fujin. Let the little servants and eunuchs in the house wear colorful costumes and twist Yangge to attract people, the effect is too good! Yun'er is well aware of the role of advertising, and the more people who know the information, the better. There were too few entertainment projects in that era, and people were poor, so you could recruit people by wearing fresh clothes, especially in the countryside, and you might not be able to see Yangge during the New Year. And there are ready-made costumes and props in the treasury of the house, and then there are gongs, drums, cymbals, and suona cheering, which is very powerful! There are talents in the house, and the eunuch Shen Gonggong and other six people are in the troupe when they are in the palace, and they can play with all kinds of musical instruments. Fu Jin lent the exotic musical instruments that Yun'er bought for her to Shen Gonggong, such as drums, sass pipes, and flutes, which made Shen Gonggong and other people who like musical instruments very happy, and there were also people who loved entertainment programs and musical instruments among the guards. Yun'er twisted the footwork of the exotic Yangge to Fu Jin, and Fu Jin said that it was beautiful, more complex than the Yangge of the Qing Dynasty, and there were many tricks. Yun'er taught Shui'er the exotic Yangge, Shui'er taught Nalan, and Nalan taught it to the soldiers and eunuchs, who wore bright costumes and recruited a lot of people for a while before Mangge and ****** made advertising speeches. The characteristics of the pro-soldier Yangge team are neat, because they are well-trained soldiers, wearing Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, Lan Caihe, He Xiangu and other costumes, lively and witty, and the two golden-red lions shaking their heads add to the festive color; In particular, the clumsy movements of the eight big-headed dolls looking around add to the innocent childish interest. The procession promoting the purchase of fruit is followed by a long list of children and women who are watching the excitement, and it is impossible not to attract people.

Through publicity, the fruit farmers knew what the fruits to be purchased by Ruiwangfu were and what the price was.

The Dongwai Mansion of the Rui Wangfu became a workshop for making juice and canned food, and the prince ordered people to vacate a few houses to squeeze juice and make canned food respectively. In order to ensure the safety and hygiene of food, dozens of personal soldiers were dispatched to guard the shed.

It was the height of summer, all kinds of fruits were continuously sent to Dongwaifu, and the amount of labor of workers peeling and removing the kernels increased greatly.

During the time when she launched a variety of ice creams, ice creams, juices, breads, and cakes, Yun'er had a little free time, and she concentrated on painting. Before going to a foreign land, Yun'er had a deep foundation in painting, and under the care of Lan Lan, a tutor who trains graduate students, she has made great progress. Yun'er likes the painting style of Professor Xu, a well-known painter in a foreign land, and once studied his painting skills and painting theory, and truly learned Mr. Xu's charm. At the same time, he also learned some oil painting, gouache, and watercolor painting methods with Lan Lan, and integrated them, so Yun'er's painting is a new style. Yun'er doesn't like those inexplicable modernists and abstractions, and can't accept them. She only likes very traditional, very skillful, fresh pictures, beautiful freehand flowers. In a short period of time, Yun'er's paintings have made a leap forward, and even the copied paintings are exquisite to the bone marrow.

Yun'er began to paint at a very young age, not only has solid basic skills in painting, but also has a very high level of calligraphy attainments. Yun'er started to learn calligraphy from Yan Zhenqing, and in a few years, she wrote Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy to the point of perfection. Then I will learn Zhao Mengfu, the beauty of Zhao Zi is very suitable for girls to study, don't look at Yun'er's impatience, once you start to write and draw, you will immediately enter the realm of selflessness. At the same time as calligraphy and painting, Mr. also guided her to recite Tang poems, Song Ci and Han Fu poems, so it can be seen from Yun'er's inscription on the painting that not only is her calligraphy attainment quite superb, but also her classical literature skills can also be seen that her extra-literal skills are quite good. Yun'er's characters are combined with the strengths of Yan Zhenqing and Zhao Mengfu to form their own style, the glyphs are atmospheric, beautiful, and handsome, as fresh and natural as herself, Yun'er's painting skills are profound, and the pen is real kung fu. Especially after studying painting in Exotic and Lanlan for a period of time, it is simply soaring into the air, and the speed of progress is breathtaking. Yun'er brought back a lot of albums, each painter has their own strengths and characteristics, and she has learned all the strengths of these painters and turned them into her own. Yun'er's paintings of the exotic painter Mr. Xu, whose essence has been learned by Yun'er to the fullest, and with the book "Twenty-eight Kinds of Stunt Painting", Yun'er is simply like a tiger with wings. Her personality has her father's dislike of publicity, and although she is improving by leaps and bounds every day, she has never shown her ability. She knew that her paintings far surpassed any of the masters of the Qing Dynasty, but until now she had not been seen by any outsider how she painted. Yu'er Shui Er often sees the master's paintings, but they have been trained by the master's "mouth repair". Therefore, no one knows about Yun'er's painting situation except for the two of them and the prince.

How can Yun'er's painting be bad? I have a deep foundation, and I have learned so many "high tricks" with Lan Lan, as well as so many references and painting theories, and I am smart and intelligent, and my comprehension ability is very strong, so it's strange that I can't draw well. It's just that she doesn't have enough time to paint at the moment, she has to breastfeed her children, teach various skills, try to make cold drinks, pastries, and manage things. That is, Yun'er can cope with these things, and she is also full of energy, and she will be tired of lying on the shelf if you change someone.

Every morning, Yun'er quietly paints in her room, and there are two more little disciples by her side: Xuan'er and Rui'er. Two big disciples: Yu'er and Shui'er. Xuan'er and Rui'er learned Chinese painting, and fish and water learned cartoon painting. In order to draw embroidery patterns. The eldest disciple learns at any time, and the younger disciple comes to Yun'er to learn painting after class from Mr. (Of course, the two big disciples can also listen to Chinese painting classes, and the younger disciples can also learn cartoon painting.) Yun'er taught them new content first, and they quietly drew it. Because the children are kind and like small animals very much, Yun'er taught them to draw fluffy chickens, ducklings, stupid bears, penguins, dexterous squirrels, cute kittens, puppies, etc., and the seriousness of painting is no less than Yun'er. Xuan'er and Rui'er are both very smart children, and they are both diligent and studious, and under Yun'er's teaching, they fully absorb the nourishment of art and nourish their pure hearts.

Fu Jin and Mrs. Chen's research on cuisine is also in full swing. Combining various exotic dishes, compared with the existing dishes of the Qing Dynasty and the Manchu and Han full banquets, Fu Jin and her chef in the small kitchen, Chef Xu, have to make dishes with both exotic flavors and two vegetables every day.

Mrs. Chen's snacks have a wide range, Mrs. Chen makes more than four snacks every day for her husband to taste, and after tasting them, Mr. Chen thinks they are delicious and makes them for the prince and Fujin to taste, and they say that they are good and settled.

The prince's affairs were so busy that he couldn't take care of lunch: he had to receive milk from the commander's mansion and fruits from fruit farmers, and he had to patronize the hygiene of making ice cream, ice cream, and juice, and he also taught his father-in-law Qi how to feed goldfish. At the same time, the cabbage seedlings in the greenhouse are also larger, and they are transplanted to the field of the grange, and they are ready to mature and eat in late autumn. The corn has matured, and the corn husks have been sent to the house in order from the hands of the farmers in the grange, and the prince has ordered that the corn stalks that have produced two or three corn can be put down, and the vacant place is planted with Chinese cabbage, and it is time to harvest when there is frost and snow.

Tian Liang was also so busy that he hit the back of his head, and the equipment he bought back from a foreign land was not one, but he was the only one who could fiddle with it. Moreover, he must competently manage his new position as the steward of the palace, and he must be familiar with his duties and operate them proficiently. Thanks to Nalan's help, otherwise I would really not be able to hula.

Nalan admired Tian Liang to the point of worship: after going out for a year, this stuffy guy was able to excel, and he was proficient in tinkering with exotic equipment that no one had ever seen. The prince let himself follow Tian Liang to learn the craft, what a great honor and trust this is!

Fujin's violin also entered the role, and he practiced "Liang Zhu" and "Story of a Small Town" very well, and in Yun'er's words, it has some charm. What fingering and bow methods are in place, Yun'er found the book of simple notation, stave and related songs and gave them to Fujin.

On this day, Fu Jin and Fu Er and Ji Er came with a violin. And there were a dozen new clothes. Yun'er settled Fu Jin in front of the case and sat down and asked, "

"Why are you so pretty?"

"Silly girl, sister, this is made for you, you are old, and your eyes are not good, if you don't dislike it, you will wear it, this is made with a sewing machine."

"You did it yourself? It's so hard for you! Thank you! Yes? Isn't this the fabric in Yun'er's gift to you? You're ......"

"My sister can't wear so many clothes, so you can help. These two cheongsams are made of a piece of yarn, which is more suitable for summer wear, and my sister made them for you. ”

"Fujin, Yun'er knows your mind! You like these pieces of clothing very much, and you made it for Yun'er, you ......"

"You're welcome, try it when you're free, if it's not suitable, my sister will change it for you."

"Thank you! Thank you! ”

At this time, the prince came back to rest. His greenhouse was closer to Yun'er's residence, so he came here to rest and drink tea. The prince said to Fu Jin: "You also come to paint?" ”

"The concubine is looking for Yun'er to match the song."

"Okay, this king is very blessed, he can be the first to hear the exotic folk songs played with Western instruments in the Qing Dynasty, let's start."

Fu Jin sat on a folding chair - this was bought by Yun'er from "over there". She held up the violin, put on the bow, and played a prelude, and Yun'er stood in front of the prince, like a hibiscus out of the water, slim and elegant. After hearing the prelude, he sang in time:

"There are many stories in a small town,

Full of joy and joy

Invite your friends to come along,

The town is a guest.

Take a look, talk about it,

It's a good story in a small town

……”

"Okay!" Xuan'er was the first to applaud. The prince also applauded with a smile, "Not bad, not bad!" The piano is played well, and the song is sung well! This king is addicted, can I have another one? ”

Fu Jin looked at Yun'er, of course Yun'er had no opinion, he was just tired and resting, and the prince was willing to listen. After Yun'er married into the palace, she had never seen the prince listen to the play and play cards, and carry cages and birds, and now it is an extra enjoyment. So Yun'er said to Fujin: "You can sing whatever Yun'er pulls." ”

Fu Jin can only pull his newly learned "New Moon". The word grid is exempt.

"The flag is fluttering, the horse is Xiao Xiao,

A crescent moon as a headshot

Wealth and clouds, life and death smile

……”

Fu Jin likes these songs so much that he seems to have sung them to his heart. (To be continued.) )
