However, considering that this guy is unusual, the two of them are also more cautious, and the eldest grandson Wuji asked tentatively: "What does it mean to be unpleasant?" Chen Chu, you may not have tasted the taste of cherished wine, Lao Li is an expert in this regard, you can taste it when the time comes. ”

Chen Chu was a little speechless, not to mention the liquor distillation technology in the Tang Dynasty, there were many impurities and low alcohol, and he loved to add some messy things, what osmanthus and peach blossoms, to put it bluntly, it was rice wine, and the taste Chen Chu had already felt in the past two days, and it was really difficult to compliment.

It's either a high-alcohol liquor, a low-alcohol beer, or a mellow wine, but I'm afraid that the taste of the wine of this era is far from what he remembers, so how can he drink it.

Seeing Chen Chu's disdainful look, Li Er almost blew up, feeling that his majesty had been violated.

, you Chen Chu will do it, this he Li Er admits that it is amazing, but the most delicious drinks in the Tang Dynasty are all in the court, as far as the fruit wine of the South Seas, the grape wine of the Western Regions, and the best brewed by various snow water and sweet springs, he Chen Chu District A tavern shop, what insight can he have, can he drink more wine than he and the auxiliary machine?

"Hmph, next time we meet, I want you, a hillbilly, to have a good look at the taste of my Datang top wine!" Li Er is also very popular, every time he comes to Chen Chu, he can encounter delicious food that he has never seen, and he Li Er will definitely not admit defeat!

Li Er was about to leave after pretending to be forced, but he stopped before leaving, and reluctantly glanced at the plate that had been cleaned by them with noodles: "Cough, Chen Chu, can others make cucumbers so delicious?" ”

Chen Chu shook his head: "The most important thing in shooting cucumbers is the production of seasonings, which cannot be done with the current cooking level of Datang, so let's talk about it when I have time to study it." ”

Li Er knew that what he said was also the truth, anyway, he had never seen the imperial chefs make such a delicious soup dipping sauce, so he couldn't help but sigh and leave sadly, I just hoped that Chen Chu would act quickly, his Five Organs Temple would not be able to suppress it.

It didn't take long for Chen Chu to come to a jade shop in Xinghuafang with an iron card, and after showing the iron card, the shopkeeper obediently took out a tray with a stack of silver cakes neatly placed on it, and sent two thugs to follow him, looking like he was afraid that the silver cakes would be robbed.

Chen Chu took the money and began to buy everywhere, from all kinds of clothes, shoes and hats for daily life and formal occasions, to common books that can be seen on the market, and finally he stopped in front of a small mansion, intending to buy them.

It's also strange to say, theoretically speaking, it should be more troublesome to buy and sell, after all, it involves the exchange of land deeds, the report of the government, etc., but Chen Chu just gave the money to the owner, and the other party took care of everything else, and soon Chen Chu moved to the new house.

Chen Chu had no choice but not to move, the living environment in the tavern before was very poor, all of them were old furniture, leaking wind and rain, and the noise on the street was all over the place, where was it comfortable.

Before he could move his things, he put down what he was doing and asked all the way to Sinong Temple to report.

The officials of Sinong Temple, large and small, all came out early, although they were unconvinced, but they had no way to obediently listen to the dispatch of this young and unspeakable Marquis of Wannian County.

Where does this look like a marquis, just an ordinary person, you look at his curious look, I don't know what I think is a hillbilly? But they don't dare to say that this is an order personally issued by His Majesty, but anyone who disobeys the Marquis of Wannian County will be directly dismissed and investigated.

Sinong Temple is in charge of grain storage, warehouse management and hundreds of officials, etc., there is a large piece of abandoned land behind the continuous warehouses in the temple, almost a dozen acres, Chen Chu feels that it is about the same, after thinking about it, let the officials of Sinong Temple begin to be busy according to his instructions.

After the end of a day of political affairs, only Li Er, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Du were left in the inner court, he first called the internal officials to inquire about the situation of Sinong Temple, and learned that Chen Chu really came to report in the afternoon, and did not pay attention to anything else, and directly began to plant potatoes in the wasteland behind, with great relief, this guy finally did not lazy.

"Your Majesty, this cucumber, courgette is also, the old minister's wife happens to be Zhong Qing's taste, so the minister also tastes it from time to time, but it really doesn't have the taste that you and the auxiliary machine said, isn't there anything wrong?" Du Ruyan asked hesitantly.

The eldest grandson Wuji spread his hands: "It's not all the reason for those condiments, we don't understand this at all, and the cook at home can't figure it out after I describe it, and if I want to wait for this delicacy to be on the table, it seems that we can only wait for Chen Chu to study it clearly." ”

Li Er said suddenly: "Wuji, you find an opportunity to seal up his tavern, and change what kind of property to compensate him, otherwise if his tavern becomes popular one day and takes up his time, how can he serve the imperial court?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, naturally nodded in agreement, and then Du Ruhui seemed to remember something, and stepped forward to speak.

"Your Majesty, there is a warning message from the envoy in the Guannei, there has been no rain in the prefectures since the beginning of spring, the ditches have dried up, the crops are growing slowly, and spring plowing in many places cannot be sustained."

Everyone quieted down and frowned, and the eldest grandson Wuji sighed: "Hebei and Shandong only suffered from drought last year, and this year it was Guanzhong again, how is this good?" ”

Everyone is helpless, even if the political mind is clear, there is no way to face this kind of natural disaster, and if the rain does not come to Guanzhong, is it possible to dig a ditch to divert the water from the lake in the south? Not to mention that the height of the terrain is the opposite, the amount of engineering is not imaginable.

"Well, that's good." Li Er sat on the back of the chair, quite a headache, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, internal and external troubles, but he Li Er is not afraid of man-made disasters, only afraid of natural disasters, because natural disasters are not humanly available, and they also involve the problem of people's minds changing.

"Guanzhong is one of the birthplaces of the Yellow River, there is a lot of ice and snow melt water in the west, and the terrain is also suitable, it is better to divert water for irrigation, and at the same time the imperial court distributes relief, at least to solve the basic problem of eating."

The eldest grandson Wuji said that Guanzhong is the place where the Tang Dynasty started, and the nobles in Guanzhong also occupy a decisive right to speak, and no one wants this year's farmland to be wasted, which will have a great impact.

"Ruhui, you should go to the disaster area in the next two days to see what the situation is, and you will be responsible for the relief affairs, and I hope that the drought in spring and summer will not spread to other state capitals." Li Er said, Du Ruhui took the order and left, and after discussing it for a while, Li Er returned to the harem with mixed feelings.

"Shimin, Changle and Yuzhang are thinking about eating the shredded potatoes again, they have already run to the hut many times today, how is this good?" Empress Eldest Sun asked Li Er worriedly, afraid of being eaten by potatoes.

Li Er smiled and said: "What are you afraid of, I haven't heard of eating food problems, maybe the stomach can't digest it for a while, in the future, this is the food of the people of the world, as a princess, you should also like it, this is a good thing, but it's a pity that these imperial chefs are not as delicious as Chen Chu." ”

"I'm more worried about the drought in Guanzhong, which is one of the most important producing areas in our Datang, and if something goes wrong, this year's autumn grain will be in trouble." Li Er asked Empress Changsun to see if she had a way, in his heart, he, the queen of his childhood sweetheart, had always been able to surprise him, and he had never been weaker than those scholars in terms of knowledge and political opinions.

Empress Eldest Sun smiled bitterly: "This kind of natural disaster, where did the concubines get the idea, if the situation deteriorates further, I'm afraid Your Majesty can only drive the southern suburbs to worship the sky." ”

"I don't know what this kid Chen Chu thinks?" Li Er frowned and muttered, there were so many officials in the Manchu Dynasty He didn't know why he thought of this young man, shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, he asked what happened in the palace today.

"Jiujiang and Luling came to inquire about that Chen Chu today." Empress Changsun said meaningfully.

Li Er also understands in seconds, some of his many sisters have been married, some are in Yunying, some are still a Lori, Jiujiang and Luling are just the right age, before Jieli came to ask for marriage, there are rumors in the court that one of the two princesses may want to go north out of the Huns.

Now His Majesty doesn't know why he suddenly didn't mention the matter of marrying a princess, which made the two daughters let go of their worries, but there must be a reason for it, and I don't know where they found out about the root of the matter, Li Er felt that it might be Wuji who said it.

Li Er's heart moved, and he suddenly had an idea, this time he would definitely be able to win back a city in front of Chen Chu.
