On the winter solstice, the plum blossoms.

The carriage from Luoyang City slowly drove into Chang'an, Yu Linwei opened the way, and the cars of the ladies entered in turn.

As soon as he entered the city, a series of exclamations sounded in the carriage.

This straight official road is paved with colorful petals, like a very beautiful fairy avenue.

"Welcome to Chang'an, and Song Jing is waiting for the emperor."

At the gate of the city, Song Jing wore a brand-new official uniform, and lined up in two columns with the subordinate officials of the yamen to greet him, and Wu Zetian looked around curiously through the curtain of the canopy.

There should be several kinds of plum blossoms, peach blossoms, and chrysanthemums on this official road, and some of them are not plants that can bloom in winter at all.

"Lord Song, these petals ......"

"Your Majesty, it's the minister's idea."

Li Ran walked out of the crowd of drivers, "Paving the road with flowers, specially designed to welcome distinguished guests, these flowers are all planted by farmers in Chang'an." ”

“…… It's hard for you to get all these flowers. ”

Wu Zetian smiled with satisfaction, she liked this gimmick.

"Actually, it's not a trouble, when the minister built a mausoleum in Chang'an, he found some auspicious things, and originally wanted to report it to the emperor You know, but auspicious Rui appeared too often, which shows how much the gods care for the emperor."

Thousands of clothes, sycophants don't wear them, first give this girl a sugar-coated cannonball, Li Ran found out something.

"This is a strange thing given by the gods to protect fruits and vegetables, I call it ...... Plastic greenhouses, plants planted in greenhouses, can ignore the changes of the four seasons! ”

Wu Zetian was suddenly amazed, and saw from afar that the land around the city was covered with a layer of white things, which must have been the plastic greenhouse in Li Ran's mouth.

"Get this thing, not only can you plant fruits and vegetables regardless of the season, but also increase a certain yield, the minister has been promoted in Chang'an, if the emperor allows it, it can be promoted to other places in the Tang Dynasty."

First on the dry goods, towards Song Jing made a look, the latter understood, the land brochure of Chang'an City, after using this plastic greenhouse, not only saved the land area, the output is more than before.

"Good! I brought this thing back to Luoyang and ordered hundreds of officials to promote it in various places. ”

The act of inviting merit is almost close to his face, how can Wu Zetian not understand, so he immediately rewarded Song Jing with two pieces of silk and ordered his entourage to write down a merit.

Of course, her novelty has only just begun.

When I arrived at the palace, I saw a stove in the center of the hall, in which the honeycomb coal was burning vigorously, and on the stove, there was a large cauldron, which was churning, and there were plates full of meat and vegetables next to it.

“…… Li Ran, what is this? ”

"Hot pot! To be exact, it is mutton soup hot pot, on the winter solstice, eat mutton, and make up for it. ”

Li Ran demonstrated on the spot, adding the ingredients to the domestic cooking, and then dipping them in seasonings, the taste was superb, a bowl of belly, and the cold air on the whole body was driven away.

Wu Zetian was tired from the boat, and he had no appetite, but for some reason, he had a great appetite for eating this hot pot, and even ate an extra bowl of rice.

"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, why can't the imperial dining room make this kind of taste?"

The ladies all like to eat this hot pot, and the praise is continuous.

The expected reaction, after all, all kinds of spices are added to it, which are all specialties that Datang does not have.

"Back to the emperor, the method of hot pot is not complicated, the difficult thing is the preparation of ingredients and seasonings, please see it, the emperor."

Li Ran pointed to the dazzling array of things on the table, "Some are imported from the Western Regions, some are given by the gods, and they don't need much production, but if you add a little bit to each meal, the taste will be very different, and if the emperor agrees, it can be promoted everywhere." ”

Onions, ginger, minced garlic and monosodium glutamate, whoever eats who knows.

"Okay, come on, write down the practice of this hot pot, drive Ming'er back to Luoyang, and try it in the imperial dining room."

Wu Zetian was very satisfied, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

When Li Ran is courteous, it is usually when he is a tricker, he suffers a lot of losses and is deceived, how can someone as smart as her not sum up experience.

"How do you plan to promote these ingredients and condiments?"

"When the people buy grain, they give it away."

She guessed correctly, Li Ran was indeed in a routine, and she spent a lot of time, and it was both flowers and hot pot, so she naturally had to seek returns.

Potatoes and hybrid rice are directly linked to the number of people, he does not hide his selfishness, but cash crops are such a money-making thing, how can they be controlled in their own hands, from crop planting to the people's table, like an invisible hand, the living standards of the people of the Tang Dynasty are firmly grasped in their hands.

"Gift? That's a lot of money. ”

"For the sake of the people's lives, why not spend some money."

Li Ran's worried expression was flawless, Wu Zetian suddenly looked at him a few times, what a high-spirited young man, dedicated to the people, it seems that he is too worried.

Obviously, this girl doesn't understand that free is the most expensive.

After eating, Wu Zetian took his female dependents to Chang'an Palace to rest, and Li Ran finally seized the opportunity to meet Xian Hui'er.

After months of not seeing each other, she grew taller...... Also plump.

The chest can already support the skirt, and the small lotus is no longer as sharp as before.

"Da Lang...... You've worked hard. ”

With a shallow smile, a touch of affection turned into eye waves, and everything was silent.

"You're the one, palace, it's very uncomfortable."

Her behavior is already quite beautiful in everyone's demeanor, which is completely different from the way she looked when she was in Luling.

Xiao Biesheng was newly married, Li Ran picked her up and turned around three times, and Xian Hui'er was so ashamed that her face was red.

"Da Lang, don't be like this, someone is watching."

"Who is so blind...... Damn, you're really haunted. ”

Not far away, Wu Qingying was standing in the corner, smiling rather than smiling.

"Da Lang, don't talk about Sister Wu like that, she is very good to me, there are many things in the palace, I don't understand, she taught them."

In a few months, the relationship between the two girls quickly developed into best friends, and with the rank of Wu Qingying, they deliberately befriended Xian Hui'er, the little white rabbit, and they were caught.

“…… Anyway, you have to guard against her. ”

Seeing the hysterical appearance of this girl, of course Li Ran didn't believe that she had no other purpose, and whispered a word of advice, Xian Hui'er smiled, and she didn't know if she was going to her heart.

Wu Qingying slowly approached and saluted Li Ran.

"Master Li, don't come unharmed."

“…… Each other, why don't you avoid it for a while and give me and Xian Hui'er a little personal space? ”

"That's not possible, Aunt Shangguan specially told me to look at Xian Hui'er...... However, Aunt Shangguan did not forbid us to go to the city. ”

This divine turn came interestingly, Li Ran was stunned for a second, and then grabbed the key words in her words.

“…… We? ”

Obviously, it's okay to take people out, but you can't play a two-person world, you have to act together with three people.

"It's still early, Master Li can think about it."

"No, you're thinking too much."

Refusal without consideration, shopping with a drag oil bottle has no sense of experience, the little daughter-in-law arrived in Chang'an, brother's territory, and was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away?
