The closer the year, the more I miss my relatives!

It doesn't matter if it's at home or outside!

Everyone will miss their relatives and friends very much during the Chinese New Year.

The people in Cheng's mansion were thinking about Cheng Chumo.

Even Cheng Biting Jin, the hard-hearted master, saw Da Niu and Er Niu crying and asking for their father.

This hard-hearted master will also pick up the big cow and the second cow in distress and coax them for a while.

Changsun Chong's son, Changsun Dong, is relatively much more well-behaved.

He can already take care of his younger brother Zhang Sunliang.

To the relief of her mother, Celine.

The eldest grandson Wuji and his wife are more like picking up a treasure.

Happy every day.

This year's Spring Festival Gala, because of the departure of the chief director Lin Ran and the band's chief conductor Li Tai, there are many innovations.

Because His Majesty Li Er promised the people of Chang'an City that they would continue to hold the Spring Festival Gala this year, they had no choice but to let Ma Zhoulai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, serve as the chief director.

Guoguo and Houhou are still singing their title song.

The party was very successful and smooth, and the people were also shouting happily and beaming with joy.

However, His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun, as well as the civil and military officials, all felt as if something was missing.

In the end, they found out that it was the soul that was missing.

The songs are still beautiful, and the dances are still cheerful.

But it's like losing your soul.

On the morning of the Zhengyuan Festival, the sky was just dawning.

A fast horse gallops on Suzaku Avenue.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han has returned, and His Royal Highness the mission of the King of Han has returned to Chang'an."

This news made the entire Chang'an City boil.

His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun led the civil and military officials who came to participate in the court meeting to go out of the palace to welcome Li Ke who returned.

The entrance of Tai Chi Palace.

Li Ke's face was full of beard, but his spirit was still vibrant.

"Father, mother. Erchen did not fail in his mission and brought back the species that could withstand the cold. ”

"Erchen also accepted the tribute of thirteen small countries for his father, and they were willing to be attached to the protection of his father and forever loyal to his father's Tang Dynasty."

"I have experienced dozens of battles along the way, and thanks to the protection of General Changsun and the soldiers, my sons and daughters are safe and sound."

"However, eleven soldiers were buried in other places."

“······”

Li Ke knelt on the ground and reported one by one.

"Good, good... Ke'er has worked hard all the way, followed his father into the palace, and today's court meeting, his father wants to drink celebration wine for you and the soldiers who traveled far away. ”

"The soldiers who died in battle, my father will not let them die in vain, and all those who point the finger at us will have to pay thousands of times the price."

His Majesty Li Er excitedly helped Li Ke up.

"Father, my son is back."

Eldest Sun Chong knelt down in front of Eldest Sun Wuji.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."

Looking at his son with long hair and beard in front of him, he didn't dare to recognize him if he didn't distinguish it carefully.

"Auntie, Chong'er kowtowed to you."

"Hurry up, go back to the palace and drink the celebration wine, and hurry back to the house to see the two children of Dongliang."

Empress Eldest Sun happily helped her nephew Eldest Sun Chong up.

Taiji Palace, Xiande Palace.

This year's court meeting is very different because of the smooth return of Li Ke, the king of Han, and the eldest grandson Chong.

In the hall of Xiande, a feast was held and the celebration wine was drunk.

Li Ke talked about the process and process of going west and north.

Through the endless desert, the wind can blow up the sand and dust and bury people alive.

You also have to pass through the Flaming Mountain, and the temperature near the mountain can roast the meat.

I also have to walk through the snowy mountains in summer, and the whole person with thick snow falls into it, and I can't see a shadow······

Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er, the eldest grandson empress, and the civil and military officials were shocked and creepy.

The outside world is really too big.

It's a lot bigger than they think.

Cheng Biting Jin felt like a cat scratching in his heart, this Han King Li Ke went out and encountered so many strange things.

Isn't what happened to his own son even more outrageous?

"Father, mother, fortunately, the teacher drew a topographic map for the son, so that the son can reach the destination smoothly."

"If there is no teacher's protection, I am afraid that Erchen will have to bury his bones in another country······"

The words of Li Ke, the king of Han, made the entire Xiande Hall silent.

said a thousand ways and ten thousand, in the final analysis, it is the credit of the horse master.

"Ke'er, show the topographic map to your father."

Hearing his father's explanation, Li Ke handed over the topographic map drawn by Lin Ran to his father.

"Father, this yellow area is the great desert, and there is a red dot here, which is the fiery mountain of flames."

"This white place is the snowy mountains that fall in the summer, and here is the green that represents a river, and it is here that Erchen has stored enough drinking water······"

"These small countries are already willing to belong to their father, and these are the countries that have the fiercest battles with their sons."

"Fortunately, there is a circuitous road on the teacher's drawings, and this thin line is the path that the teacher asked the children to take in an emergency and dangerous situation."

"Whew..."

His Majesty Li Er gasped.

It's also amazing, thousands of miles away, you can know the terrain and landforms there in detail.

And even the rivers and roads can be depicted clearly.

It takes a lot of skill.

His Majesty Li Er was shocked, and the civil and military officials were even more shocked.

Several important ministers, at the signal of His Majesty Li Er, came to look at this map.

Their eyes widened wider than a bull's eye.

"Father, my son has seen this map drawn by the teacher with his own eyes."

"The teacher started drawing very quickly, but then he began to ponder, scratching his ears and cheeks, and he had a painful expression on his face."

"Erchen thinks that the teacher must have spent endless mana and opened the eye of heaven to see all this, otherwise how can he explain it clearly······"

The words of the crown prince Li Chengqian made the Xiande Hall quiet again.

The civil and military officials all looked suddenly enlightened.

"Your Majesty, this map should remain in Your Majesty's hands forever and must not be leaked, this is the work of the Horse Master."

Prime Minister Fang Xuanling and Imperial Doctor Wei Zheng were the first to react, kneeling on the ground and playing.

"Minister, second."

The Hall of Virtue fell to its knees in an instant.

On the dining table of the Lin Mansion, there are two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

After the firecrackers are set off, the dumplings are served.

It was for Lin Ran and Changle.

The bowl is filled with dumplings.

This is Lin Ran's exclusive invention of food, and now it has been on the dining table of the people of Chang'an City and Datang.

It has become a must-eat delicacy for the New Year.

Sun and Lin Zhengtai ate dumplings silently, and neither of them said a word.

Because at this time, mentioning Lin Ran and Changle will undoubtedly make many people shed tears.

From Guoguo and Houhou, as well as Ping An and Katsuo, they looked at the two bowls of dumplings with all their might.

They know what the children are thinking.

Guoguo took a bite of the dumplings, and tears fell from her eyes.

"I don't know, my brother has any dumplings to eat······"

Guoguo's words made everyone shed tears.

"Guoguo, my brother will definitely have dumplings to eat, Guoguo doesn't cry, my brother will be sad if he knows."

Sun hugged Guoguo in distress.

At this time, she realized that she was almost unable to hold the fruit.

Is Guoguo growing up, or is he getting old.

"Well, Mother. Guoguo doesn't make her brother sad, and Guoguo doesn't cry. ”

"Guoguo eats an extra bowl of dumplings for my brother."

The little girl sensibly responded to her mother's words.

On the vast sea, the treasure ship is still moving.

"The dean's skills are so good, and he can do this good cooking."

Li Chunfeng looked at the dumplings made by Lin Ran and was full of praise.

The dumplings were pinched by his hand, like works of art.

"Teacher, the firecrackers are ready, when will the firecrackers start?"

Li Tai couldn't wait to urge on the deck.

"Father, it's time to set off firecrackers."

Xiaoxiao followed behind Li Tai, clapping her little hands happily.

Changle and Wu Cao looked at this warm picture with a smile.

"Okay, the dumplings are in the pot, let's start setting off firecrackers."

As soon as Lin Ran gave the order, the sound of crackling firecrackers sounded on the deck.

Xiaoxiao covered her ears with her hands and ran behind Li Tai's ass.

"Uncle, uncle, you run slower, Xiaoxiao can't catch up with you..."

A large bowl of dumplings was served.

Cheng Chu silently ate half a pot of dumplings, and he didn't like it.

Push your eyes into the pot.

was kicked aside by Lin Ran.

"Brother Chu Mo, we can't do this, if you want to eat yourself, I can't afford to feed you with this amount of food."

Lin Ran said with a smile.

After all, Lin Ran still filled Cheng Chumo with a big bowl of dumplings.

The joyful Cheng Chumo is like the New Year.

Alas, the analogy is not appropriate, today is indeed the New Year.

Xiaoxiao can't eat dough because she is still young.

Wu Cao fed the dumpling filling to Xiaoxiao and eat.

Eat the dough yourself.

"Xiaoxiao, are the dumplings made by my father delicious?"

"Well, the dumplings made by my father are the most delicious, and the black-faced man eats three bowls of them."

smiled and pointed at Cheng Chumo and said.

Let the cabin full of people all laugh and bend over.

Except for Changle, of course, reality no longer allows her to bend over.

Cheng Chumo was ridiculed by a little girl, which made her face feel dull.

However, only if you have a thick skin, you can eat enough.

With this leading idea and concept, Cheng Chumo continued to feast.

No matter how important the face is, it is not as important as the food, which is the supreme state of a foodie.

The soldiers who accompanied the team also began to make dumplings by themselves under the guidance of Lin Ran.

Let the soldiers who sailed away also feel the warmth of the New Year.

Another month passed, and a magical land was in sight.

The trees there reach high into the sky.

Birds are flying all over the sky.

"Dean, the future should be the destination of our trip."

Li Chunfeng held the map drawn by Lin Ran in his hand and said excitedly.

"Well, Brother Li, we're finally here."

"This magical land, we are here ······"

Hearing Lin Ran's loud call, Changle and Wu Cao both walked out of the cabin.

Xiaoxiao also took Wu Cao's hand and followed out.

The soldiers and crew cheered excitedly.

When the natives on the shore saw the treasure ship approaching, they gathered together and crouched down.

They don't know how many years they've lived on this land.

So far, he has lived a life of drilling wood for fire.

Cheng Chumo led 280 soldiers and took the lead in disembarking.

The soldiers drew their horizontal knives one after another.

The horizontal knives glittered in the sunlight and left the indigenous people in awe.

The appearance of Lin Ran and Changle shocked them even more.

Because they had never seen such a well-dressed person.

They all fell to their knees on the ground, and their mouths were reverently chanting.

Lin Ran saw that the indigenous people had no malicious intent, so he asked the soldiers to put down the horizontal knives in their hands.

After all, this uncultivated land is mysterious everywhere, and it is also full of dangers.

If there are indigenous people to lead the way, the effect will be much better.

"Father, why don't these people wear clothes?"

The words of the smile made Changle and Wu Cao embarrassed.

It is true that these natives are almost unclothed.

The so-called clothes are nothing more than a few branches and leaves strung together.

"Xiaoxiao, my father is here to help them get dressed in the future."

"My father is so powerful, no wonder my mother and mother said that my father is a great hero."

Xiaoxiao raised his little head with a look of adoration.

Li Chunfeng was communicating with a native in sign language, and quickly understood what he meant.

A whistle blew, and the natives on the shore retreated, and they were still singing and dancing before leaving.

However, that embarrassing posture made Changle and Wu Cao dare not look directly.

Even the smiling eyes were covered by Wu Cao.

"Dean, they are willing to give up this land to us, and their tribe has retreated to the south."

Lin Ran heard that although there was no way for them to lead the way, since they had already lived here, it would definitely be much safer.

So he also nodded to Li Chunfeng with satisfaction.

"Brothers, we must live here for at least three months, and we can return to Chang'an when it is suitable for sailing."

"So, let's start building a residence here, this will be our Datang land in the future, and the brothers will also benefit future generations."

As soon as Lin Ran gave the order, the soldiers began to get busy.

"Teacher, what kind of tree is this? How did you grow so tall? ”

If there is a problem, find Lin Ran, this is already a matter that Li Tai thinks is a matter of course.

Besides, I've grown so big, and I've never seen that thing stump the teacher.

Hearing this, Lin Ran looked in the direction of Li Tai's finger.

Changle and Wu Cao also covered their mouths in surprise.

The tree was too tall for them to ever know.

It has a height of about 50 meters.

Although Lin Ran had the answer in his heart, he was still not sure.

After all, what he had seen in later generations had all gone through a series of crossbreeding and artificial breeding, and he didn't know how many genes had been mutated for a long time.

"Qingque, come with the teacher, the teacher will know the answer with a knife."

"By the way, go get a barrel."

Hearing the teacher's words, Li Tai went to carry the barrel in a hurry.

Then Mei Zizi followed the teacher and walked forward.

Changle and Wu Cao also followed closely, and Xiaoxiao did not leave Wu Cao's side.

Walk over to the tall tree trunk.

Lin Ran put down the wooden barrel and slashed it at the top of the barrel.

Under the gaze of everyone, something magical happened.

The part that was cut by the knife actually had ** flowing out.

Tick-tock-dripped in the barrel.

"Father, you cut down the tree, it cried, you see it shed tears..."

Xiaoxiao said sadly.

Lin Ran hugged Xiaoxiao.

"Laughing, my father is doing good deeds, and this is a kind of tree that sheds tears."

"Its tears are called rubber, which is very useful, and you can make new shoes, rain boots, raincoats, and a jumping ball for Xiaoxiao in the future·······"

"Laughing, every time it sheds tears, it will grow up again, and it will grow up again, and smile and say that his father is doing good deeds?"

"Well, my father is so good, can he really make new shoes for Xiaoxiao and make a ball that can beat?"

Xiaoxiao put his arms around Lin Ran's neck and said glutinously.

"Of course it's true, I'll leave this to your Uncle Qingque in the future."

Li Tai was still in shock at this time.

Changle and Wu Cao also covered their mouths tightly.

It's amazing that a tree that sheds tears, and that tears are so valuable and so versatile.

"Teacher, quickly teach Qingque how to deal with these tears?"

Li Tai reacted, looked at the latex in the barrel happily and excitedly, and said.

"Look at what makes you anxious, the teacher has already told you that this is a magical land."

"Every day after that, you're going to live in shock and surprise."

"Let's go and clean up our residence today, and when we settle down, the teacher will take you to decipher this magical land."

Hearing the teacher's words, Li Tai nodded solemnly.

The soldiers had been busy all day, and finally managed to clean up a place to sleep.

Don't dare to extinguish the bonfire at night, because it's a jungle area.

There are just too many beasts and vipers.

Whether it's a jaguar, a cougar, or even a cobra, any one they encounter is enough for them to drink a pot.

Therefore, it is necessary to arrange soldiers on duty in turn at night to protect everyone's safety.

Early the next morning, after a simple breakfast, Lin Ran led Li Tai and 200 soldiers to set off.

The remaining eighty soldiers were left behind to protect the safety of Changle and Wu Cao and Xiaoxiao.

Although they also wanted to go on an adventure with Lin Ran, they knew that they would only drag everyone down.

So he stayed obediently.

Cheng Chumo also stayed to protect the safety of Changle and Wu Cao, and without a general by their side, Lin Ran was really not very relieved.

The expedition made its way through the dense forest.

Occasionally, you will encounter hunting tools left over from the original aborigines on the way.

It's all extremely simple tools.

The flora and fauna they saw along the way were species they had never seen before.

A jaguar roared and opened its bloody jaws.

The crowd entered its territory, much to the panther's dissatisfaction.

So, it's going to give the intruder a little bit of a good taste.

The lightning-fast running speed made everyone stunned.

"Shoot the crossbow..."

Lin Ran gave the order in time.

Hundreds of bows and crossbows fired a hundred arrows in unison.

Knock the galloping jaguar to the ground.

Lin Ran looked at the jaguar who was shot as a hedgehog, and couldn't help but feel a little pity.

"It's a pity that I have a good skin, otherwise I can make a good fur for Changle."

"Since there are jaguars here, the brothers dig a few more traps to see if they can catch the jaguar."

It was only then that they learned that the fierce beast was called a jaguar.

Right where the soldiers set their traps.

Lin Ran found a treasure.

The eyes are narrowed into thin lines.

It's something he's always dreamed of.

Lin Ran stretched out his hand and took the coffee beans in his hand, and the dense bush next to him was full of coffee beans.

Everyone was overjoyed when they saw Lin Ran, looking at the pod-like species in their hands.

It's all confused.

But they know that what can be favored by the master of the horse must not be wrong.

Lin Ran gently broke the pod, and the brownish-black particles appeared in the palm of his hand.

Put it in your mouth and bite it gently.

A taste that has not been tasted in many years, appearing in the mouth.

Let his eyes snap open, glowing brightly.

"Teacher, what is this? I just saw the teacher's intoxicated face. ”

Li Tai returned to his true nature of being a curious baby.

There was a puzzled look on his face.

"This is a treasure, with this thing, the soldiers of the night vigil will no longer feel tired and sleepy."

"Not to mention that it has a refreshing effect, it also has an excellent pharmacological effect, which can make people's bodies healthier."

"It's called coffee beans, and it can be ground into coffee for people to enjoy."

Hearing Lin Ran's words, Li Tai also became energetic.

I grabbed a handful of pods, pulled one out, and put it in my mouth.

"Wow, it's so bitter... Teacher, it's so bitter..."

Lee Tae-wah spit it out.

provoked all the soldiers to look like they were at a loss.

Obviously, the horse master looks very enjoyable.

How did he get to His Royal Highness the King of Wei, it was miserable.

I also threw up directly.

"Qingque, are you still bitter?"

"How does it feel to feel the bitter taste?"

Lin Ran looked at Li Tai and asked.

"It doesn't seem to be so bitter, there is a bitter and fragrant taste, and Qingque feels that his mind is suddenly much clearer."

"That's one of the benefits of this coffee bean, which makes people clear their minds and focus."

"As for its bitterness, the teacher can make it sweet in the future."

"However, the teacher liked the bitter and fragrant taste even more."

"Take it away, take it all back, and dedicate it to the father and the queen mother."

Li Tai heard Lin Ran's words and gave an order to the soldiers beside him.

Such a treasure is simply hard to find.

When the soldiers heard this, they collected the beans.

Walking through this jungle, another treasure appeared in front of Lin Ran.

Lin Ran couldn't help but shout.

"Pineapple, I've finally found you."

"Teacher, who is Pineapple? Qingque didn't see outsiders? ”

Li Tai's words made Lin Ran almost unable to hold back his laughter.

"Green finch, do you see the oval fruit on the tree?"

"That's pineapple, the teacher let you taste the taste of this pineapple, but it's sweet and delicious."

Good guy, Li Taiyi heard that it was sweet and delicious.

He immediately took one off in a hurry, picked it up and nibbled on it vigorously.

As a result, he was tragic, and his eyes were full of tears.

Not only is it not sweet at all, but it is also bitter.

"Teacher, it's still so hard......"

Li Tai looked at Lin Ran aggrievedly, his eyes full of tears.

"Haha, haha, who made you so anxious?"

"Watch the teacher peel a pineapple for you to taste."

After speaking, Lin Ran took the pineapple in Li Tai's hand in his hand.

I saw him take out a short knife and peel the pineapple skin carefully and quickly.

After a while, the yellow flesh was revealed, and the juice was dripping.

Lin Ran divided it into two, handed half to Li Tai, and tasted the other half himself.

When you take a gentle bite, you will be conquered by the sweet taste.

"Sweet, so sweet..."

Lin Ran praised from the bottom of his heart.

Li Tai had a lesson from the past, and this time after seeing the teacher take a bite in person, he took a bite carefully.

This bite goes on, it's terrible!

Li Tai's small mouth is like a hungry tiger pounced on food, and holding the half of the pineapple is a fierce gnaw!

Seeing all the soldiers, they were all dumbfounded.

In less than a minute, half of the pineapple was eaten by Li Tai.

"Teacher, would you like another one?"

Li Tai's mouth is full of honey, and even his heart is sweet.

"In the future, everything here will be the green finch, of course, the green finch will eat as much as it wants."

Lin Ran picked the largest pineapple, peeled it with a knife and handed it to Li Tai.

"Brothers, eat with your belly open, remember to peel off the skin according to my method."

When the soldiers heard this, they stepped forward to pick pineapples.

Then with the knife in his hand, he began to peel the pineapple skin like Lin Ran.

When the yellow pineapple flesh was in the mouth, the soldiers were excited.

I didn't expect this not very good-looking thing to taste so delicious and sweet.

All of a sudden, the land was filled with the sound of sucking and nibbling pineapples.

That scene is really cheerful!

"Take all these pineapples back to this king, and let the imperial sister and Wu Cong and Xiaoxiao taste it well."

Li Tai gave the order again.

Although Changle and Wu Cong stayed on the coast, their hearts followed Lin Ran.

Even Xiaoxiao kept looking at it.

No need to ask, he must have been waiting for his father's return.

"Mother, mother. Father, they're back..."

Xiaoxiao watched the branches and leaves in the distance swaying, and jumped up with joy.

Wu Cong and Changle couldn't help but stand up when they heard this.

Sure enough, Lin Ran and Li Tai soon appeared.

"Sister Huang, look at what the green finch has brought you?"

"Uncle, what is this?"

Xiaoxiao poked her head out curiously.

"This is the most delicious fruit in the world that Xiaoxiao's father discovered."

Li Tai divided the cut pineapple into several slices, Changle and Wu Cong and Xiaoxiao, and each person had one share.

"Father, father. Is this really edible? Uncle Qingque said that it was delicious, and it was a sweet taste......"

Xiaoxiao took the pineapple and cast an inquiring glance at his father.

"It's really delicious, just smile and taste it."

"Well, smile and taste."

Hearing his father's affirmative words, he opened his mouth to bite it.

"It's so sweet, mother, it's sweeter than the milk that my mother fed Xiaoxiao."

smiled and grinned happily.

Hands and feet are waving.

The cute appearance made everyone laugh.

Changle and Wu Cong took a bite of the pineapple gently.

Sure enough, it is a sweet taste to the bottom of my heart.

made Changle and Wu Lu's eyes squint into a line.

"Changle, Wu Cong, in fact, this is not the most delicious."

"If you soak it in salt water, it tastes even more refreshing."

"Teacher, Qingque is going to prepare salt water."

When Li Tai heard that it tasted better after soaking it in salt water, he ran to the boat as soon as he slipped away.

In the blink of an eye, our Cheng Chumo has already eliminated four big pineapples.

"Damn, this is called sweet taste, this is the fruit that people eat."

"All the bullshit fruits I ate before were fed to the dogs......"

Lin Ran was silent to Cheng Chu, and he scolded himself for his wonderful performance.

It's really a perfect inheritance of the excellent genes of the old Cheng family!

Soon Li Tai brought the salt water, and Lin Ran put the cut pineapple slices into the salt water and soaked them for a while.

Sure enough, when I ate it again, the taste was even more refreshing.

Originally, they thought that after soaking in salt water, the pineapple would taste salty.

As a result, Lin Ran just washed it gently with fresh water, and the pineapple soaked in salt water tasted even sweeter.

In fact, the reason why Lin Ran remembered to soak in salt water was related to many pineapple poisoning incidents in later generations.

Although pineapple has a sweet taste, it is not edible for everyone.

Many people with allergies will be poisoned once they consume it for less than an hour.

In severe cases, there will be shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, purple lips, sweating, and even shock.

If soaked in salt water, it can be a good way to remove the toxins on the surface of the pineapple, which is for people with allergies.

Normal people, negligible!

"In the future, before everyone eats pineapple, be sure to soak it in salt water, and then wash it with fresh water."

Lin Ran opened his mouth to explain.

"Father, Xiaoxiao remembers, soak in salt water first, then wash with water, Xiaoxiao will remind my mother."

Xiaoxiao looked extremely serious.

"Xianggong, what is this?"

Changle asked when he saw the coffee beans that the soldier had placed on the ground.

"It's also a good thing, refreshing, energizing, keeping excitement going, and relieving fatigue...... And so on. ”

"Xianggong, then this must be very sweet, right?"

Hearing this, Changle asked happily, and picked it up on the ground.

"Sister Huang, this is bitter, and it is very, very bitter."

Li Tai's words made Changle instantly throw the coffee beans on the ground.

From childhood to adulthood, Changle was the most afraid of hardship.

When I was a child, I drank bitter medicine once, and Changle could cry for three days and three nights without stopping!

Let His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun never dare to let Changle drink bitter medicine from now on.

"However, the teacher said that you can make this bitter coffee sweet."

Li Tai saw Changle put down the coffee beans in his hand, and with a disappointed look, he hurriedly added.

"Xianggong, can such a good thing really be sweetened?"

Changle's lost look when he heard this, disappeared without a trace in an instant, looking forward to Lin Ran's true answer.

"I believe in Xianggong, what Xianggong has said, it can be done."

At this time, Wu Cong picked up a pod and broke it open, and there were a few black-brown beans inside.

She has not been afraid of bitterness since she was a child, although she prefers sweets.

So a coffee bean was put into her mouth and chewed carefully.

At first, Wu Cong's brows furrowed, and the bitter taste was indeed not very comfortable.

However, he believed that since the master said that this was a good thing, there would definitely be nothing wrong.

So, Wu Cong continued to chew full.

Although at this time the mouth is full of bitter taste.

Slowly, however, a fragrance began to spread in my mouth.

And the fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, and there is almost a feeling of suppressing the bitterness.

Wu Cong's eyes lit up.

"Master, there is a strong fragrance in this bitterness, what a magical species."

"Wu Cong, I like this taste so much, let's give Wu Cong more."

"As long as you like, you can take as much as you want, this is the most stuff here."

Lin Ran smiled and agreed.

"Father, smile and take it for your mother."

Xiaoxiao saw that his father agreed, and hurriedly helped his mother.

And with a full bosom in his arms, he was born a small money fan.

In the evening, the soldiers hunted a lot of wild beasts, and everyone could finally taste the barbecue again.

The smile is too small, and it is not easy to eat this barbecue.

However, looking at her aggrieved appearance, Lin Ran was also very unbearable.

She was cut into a small piece of the fattest tender meat, and her mouth was full of oil with a happy smile.

There were still the last dozen jars of wine in the cabin.

Lin Ran asked everyone to move out.

When you arrive at your destination, you start to celebrate, and of course you have to do what you say.

Lin Ran and Li Tai toasted with all the soldiers and congratulated them on their successful arrival at their destination.

"Soldiers, everyone has really suffered a lot along the way."

"Many soldiers have lost a lot of weight, but I promise that everyone will gain weight in less than a month."

"And on the way back, we'll be filled with food and fruit, so let's raise a glass together for a full load."

"Raise a glass to a full load!"

Hearing Lin Ran's words, everyone raised their wine glasses high.

Drink in your glass!

Lin Ran whispered a few words in Li Tai's ear.

Li Tai stood up.

"Soldiers, today we set foot here for the first day, and everyone has seen the abundance of products here."

"At that time, there are soldiers who are willing to stay and manage and take care of this land, you can go to this king to sign up in private, or you can go to the teacher to sign up."

"This king promised that after returning to Chang'an City, he would at least persuade his father and emperor to move the people of a provincial highway to settle down here."

"When the time comes, you will be the supreme commander here, and you will be crowned a general at the very least."

Li Tai is not painting a big pie for everyone.

In fact, Lin Ran has already painted a magnificent picture for him.

In that picture, the land of Datang is spread all over the world.

But wherever the sun can shine, there will be the land and people of the Tang Dynasty!

The teacher's words made Li Tai's mouth not close for a long time.

In addition to shock, it is still shock!

This voyage made Li Tai admire the teacher even more.

Because every word he has spoken, every thing he has ever said, has been perfectly fulfilled.

This made Li Tai even more convinced.

"My subordinates swear to defend the territory of the Tang Dynasty to the death, serve Your Majesty, and serve His Royal Highness the King of Wei."

All the soldiers shouted in unison.

Many soldiers have already begun to get excited.

Of course, excitement doesn't mean action!

After all, it has only been a day since they came to the destination, and they also need to carefully consider and investigate and make trade-offs.

Li Tai was very satisfied with the performance of the soldiers, and the real answer could be found in their hot eyes.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Ran and Li Tai led the soldiers to set off.

Yesterday, they were full of calculations, that is, they walked for less than two hours.

After being full of wine and meat last night, Lin Ran confessed and asked the soldiers who were on vigil to call everyone to get up before dawn.

All the soldiers who participated in the vigil last night were left behind to rest and recuperate, as well as to protect Changle and Wulu.

Cheng Chumo was still left behind to guard the station.

Xiaoxiao waved her little hand to say goodbye to her father.

I didn't forget to tell my father to come back early, and it was best to bring some delicious food.

A proper reproduction of the fruit of an hour.

Lin Ran and Li Tai led the soldiers forward.

They continued to move forward along the same path as yesterday.

A golden ocean in the distance stunned everyone.

"Teacher, what's that?"

Li Tai looked at the disc-sized fruits, and his mouth couldn't close in shock.

"It's a species that rotates with the sun, and its fruit is very tasty, nutritious when eaten raw, and tastes even better when fried."

Lin Ran's words made Li Tai's head unable to come back to his senses for a while.

"Teacher, I just saw a tree that sheds tears yesterday, and today I discovered a species that rotates with the sun, is this world really so amazing?"

"God is not magical, everyone will sit down and see."

Hearing Lin Ran's words, everyone sat on the ground.

Watch as you head to that golden ocean.

Soon their faces changed dramatically.

Because they're really moving with the sun.

The golden head, the size of a silver plate, had been closely following the rotation of the sun.

The eyes of the soldiers turned with the turn of their golden heads.

Li Tai is naturally not out of the ordinary.

"Teacher, it's amazing. Qingque is an eye-opener, even if he returns to Chang'an City now, Qingque is proud enough to confess to his father and mother. ”

"Teacher, can you give this species a name?"

Li Tai stood up and looked at the golden ocean.

"Since they all revolve around the sun, let's call them sunflowers."

Lin Ran took off a golden silver plate and spoke.

"Good name, sunflower. Sunflowers turning towards the sun......"

Li Tai nodded vigorously, his face full of joy.

Lin Ran took out a few sunflower seeds, peeled them off, and the fruit was almost full.

Put one in your mouth, soft and oily with a faint fragrance.

This is a good sunflower seed, fried after drying, it is absolutely fragrant.

When Li Tai saw the teacher tasting it, he couldn't bear it for a long time, and he was curious about the baby's mentality.

I also picked a sunflower, followed the teacher's example, and pulled off a few sunflower seeds.

"Teacher, this is much better than coffee beans."

"Qingque, this thing is dried and fried, so it is called a delicious and crispy!"

When Li Tai heard this, he immediately instructed the soldiers that when they returned to the station, they must bring some back, dry them and fry them to eat.

So they admired the sunflowers that followed the sun's turning, and then moved on.

A not-so-tall tree appeared in front of them.

"Teacher, that's a banana, it's a specialty of Lingnan Road. The green finch once tasted it, but it was delicious, but I didn't expect there to be so many here. ”

After Li Tai finished speaking, he spread his feet and ran towards the banana tree.

Reach out and pluck a bunch of bananas, peel off a banana and eat it.

He is no longer the Li Tai who used to be with a banana peel and put his mouth in his mouth.

"Teacher, it's not delicious, it's a little astringent."

Li Tai pouted, with a bitter gourd face!

"Of course, the freshly picked thing from the tree is not delicious, unless it changes color on the tree, and the banana peel turns golden brown, it will be very sweet."

"These will be ripe when they go back and cover them."

Lin Ran peeled a banana in Li Tai's hand, making sure that it could be stored for some time.

If it changes color on the tree, there is basically no time left to store it, and it must be eaten as soon as possible.

In this era when there are no refrigerators, they will quickly deteriorate and rot.

"Teacher, then bring back some bananas and cover them. Give it to the imperial sister Wu Cong and Xiaoxiao, and they eat together. ”

Li Tai was stunned and didn't say what he wanted to eat.

"Okay, when we return today, let's bring some with us, and let Brother Chu Mo pick all the bananas here tomorrow, otherwise they will be ripe."

As the crowd moved on, a field of corn was in sight.

Good guy, Li Tai spread his feet and ran over.

While running, I was thinking to myself, what kind of teacher I had met!

He said there were patches of corn, and there really was.

Alas, he knew that even there was a continent here, and it was not surprising that there was a cornfield.

Li Tai thought about it, and kept comforting himself in his heart, he must study hard with the teacher, he knows too little.

This voyage made him really know that he lived in Datang and Chang'an City, and he would always be a frog at the bottom of a well.

Lin Ran saw Li Tai's cheering appearance and knew that this kid wanted to eat roasted corn.

Not to mention that Li Tai wanted to eat it, he looked at this pure natural and pollution-free cornfield, and he was also salivating.

In a few moments, puffs of smoke rose from the place.

Because of the large-scale promotion of Datang corn.

The soldiers have roasted corn more than once in recent years.

Everything is so familiar.

It didn't take long for them to gnaw on their faces with ash.

Even Li Chunfeng, who has always been old and steady, is also very happy.

The crowd filled their stomachs and moved on.

There are strange species everywhere along the way, but only Lin Ran knows it.

And it can clearly say the characteristics of the species, so that everyone is happy and convinced.

"Teacher, sugarcane, bluefinch finally see another species of their own acquaintance. And this is the royal sister's favorite sweet. ”

Li Tai didn't even know it today, and he ran away a few times.

In short, he was full of strength and did not feel tired at all.

Stretching out his little hand didn't shake the sugarcane in the slightest, which couldn't help but make Li Tai slightly disappointed.

Soon, a soldier with bright eyes stepped forward and cut down Li Tai with a knife.

After cutting off the head and tail, he handed the sugar cane to Li Tai.

Li Tai smiled slightly and nodded in thanks.

He began to taste the sugar cane, and he didn't dare to be reckless when he ate it.

Because when I was a child, I didn't cut my lips on sugarcane skin.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope.

In the future, Li Tai was careful when eating sugarcane.

I'm afraid that I will be bitten on the lip by the sugar cane again, and my lip will be broken and bleeding.

"Teacher, the sugarcane here is much sweeter than our Datang's."

Li Tai took a bite of sugarcane and chewed hard. I didn't spit out the dregs until there was no juice left in my chewing.

"Qingque, because of the long sunshine hours and abundant sunshine here, the sugar content is more than our Datang sugarcane, and it is naturally sweeter."

After Lin Ran answered Li Tai's question, he also cut down a sugar cane and chewed it beautifully.

All the soldiers also swarmed up, and the scum they spit out was all over the ground in an instant.

Sweet and juicy sugar cane, so that they eat with sticky sugar juice in their mouths.

Seeing that it was already past the afternoon, Lin Ran felt that if he returned at this time, he would bring a lot of things and arrive at the station before dark.

So he ordered the soldiers to cut down more sugar cane, but he promised to bring her something delicious.

This was not his biological daughter, but he remembered it all the time, which made Lin Ran feel a little incredible.

Maybe it's because the smile is so cute!

In her, Lin Ran can always see the shadow of Guoguo when she was a child.

The only difference is that the complexion of Xiaoxiao cannot be changed.

This question has always puzzled Lin Ran, after returning to the Lin Mansion, how to explain the origin of Xiaoxiao to his parents!

Said it was picked up? That's definitely not going to work, when you grow up and smile and know the truth, how sad it should be!

can only be said to be his own child, and he is also the child of He Wu.

But how do you explain the color of the child's skin?

This question has always puzzled Lin Ran.

No matter how big a hero is, there are times when he is stumped!

At present, we can only take one step at a time, and maybe when we return to Chang'an, there will be a solution!

Anyway, I can't let this poor child be hurt a little bit anymore!

The soldiers returned with sugar cane on their backs.

When passing by the cornfield, I broke off a lot of young corn.

Once you get to the banana tree, continue to break the bananas.

Passing by a large field of sunflowers, I picked a lot of sunflowers.

Where I encountered the jaguar again, I found that there were several wild beasts in the trap.

So he slaughtered it and brought it with him.

Finally, before the sun set, they arrived at the station.

"Father, father......"

Far away, Xiaoxiao trotted over.

Looking at the species that the soldiers were carrying, she didn't know, smiled and smiled.

"Father, is this a delicious food for Xiaoxiao?"

The little girl grabbed the corner of her father's clothes, and her face was full of anticipation.

"Of course it is, my father promised to bring Xiaoxiao something delicious back."

Lin Ran picked up Xiaoxiao and held it high.

It made the little girl giggle.

"Xiaoxiao knows that my father is the best."

"Mother, my father has brought Xiaoxiao something delicious back. Smile and smile for my mother's ......"

The little girl's words, everyone was happy.

What an old child, so sensible and well-behaved.

The soldiers swore a collective oath that they would never tell a laugh or a pitiful background.

They have also agreed in their hearts, this is the daughter of the concubine.

At night at the station, the bonfire is bright.

Sweet tender corn is boiling in a large iron pot,

There was still a lot of roasting on the fire, and the soldiers kept turning it to prevent the phenomenon of baking paste in some places and not cooking in others.

The bananas were all covered according to Lin Ran's instructions, and as for when they could be ripe, only the master of the horse himself knew this.

In Xiaoxiao's bowl was a bowl of sugarcane juice, which Lin Ran had squeezed out specifically for Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao is reluctant to drink it in one gulp, and is not even willing to drink it in a big gulp.

She gently licked the sugarcane juice with the tip of her tongue, the sweetness of the sugarcane juice went straight to the bottom of her heart, and the taste of happiness was on her smiling face.

The aroma of boiled and roasted corn fills the air.

Changle couldn't help but fly his thoughts to Linjia Village.

It was there that she first tasted roasted corn.

That smell still often appears in her dreams today!

It was also in Lin Ran's room near the Linjia Village School that he tasted the taste of boiled corn for the first time.

Years have passed, and they are about to have a third child.

When Changle thinks about it, it feels like a dream.

She has lived the happiest and happiest life over the years.

Although he already has more than one woman, his feelings for him have never changed, and this is enough.

Even the father and queen mother said that such a great hero of the world, a woman could not trap him.

The corn in the pot is cooked, and the corn on the rack is roasted.

The soldiers first brought the corn to Lin Ran and His Royal Highness King Wei.

Lin Ran gave an order, and everyone started eating happily.

By the way, the slaughtered beasts are also grilled on the bonfire.

Wu Cong smiled carefully and picked the most tender boiled corn kernels.

If it's a little hard, this kid will definitely not be able to digest it.

And so they went up at sunrise and returned at sunset.

After a few days in a row, Lin Ran decided to go on a long trip.

Because I still haven't found the species I want the most.

It is quite possible that it is on this continent, far from the station.

The bananas have been ripe, Lin Ran explained to Changle and Wu Cong, and they will give Xiaoxiao a maximum of two bananas every day, and it will not work if there are too many.

And he also gave Xiaoxiao a vaccination, and the child agreed very sensibly.

The sun-dried sunflower seeds were also fried by Lin Ran.

Changle and Wu Cong, when they have nothing to do, they will always grab a handful and sit there eating melon seeds.

The more you taste, the more fragrant the melon seeds are!

Let the two of them love it.

solemnly explained that Cheng Chumo must protect their safety.

Lin Ran led Li Tai and 200 soldiers on the road.

Along the way, they ate and slept in the open.

He lived like a savage, but he never went hungry.

Because the more you go, the more food you eat.

Even the potatoes they found traces.

The indigenous tribes I met along the way were all very friendly.

They were in awe of the team led by Lin Ran.

They all offer their own delicacies.

After several inquiries, Lin Ran finally had a native who understood his gestures and expressions.

It was a spicy grinning expression.

The native-friendly leader led them along.

Pointing to clusters of plants full of fiery red fruits, he made a tearful expression.

Lin Ran laughed when he saw it.

Of course, this indigenous friend must have tasted the taste of chili peppers.

"Thank you, good friend!"

Although Lin Ran knew that he couldn't understand what he said, he still had to express his gratitude.

When the natives saw Lin Ran's enthusiastic smile and knew that he must be praising himself, they laughed a little embarrassedly.

Lin Ran beckoned the nearest soldier over and then took down one of his short knives.

The short knife he carried with him, but it was given by his domineering father-in-law, and he never dared to give it away.

But for the people who helped him, if Lin Ran didn't express his gratitude, he would always feel sorry in his heart.

"This short knife has given you a friend, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can rely on this short knife to find our people, our people, will help you."

Lin Ran handed over a short knife with a cold light to the hands of the natives.

The man took the short knife and screamed excitedly.

He muttered a lot of language that no one could understand.

Then, point to the sky, and then to the earth.

It was as if some kind of oath or ritual was being performed.

In the end, he surrounded Lin Ran, bent over and stomped his head and shook his head.

Then he looked at Lin Ran with expectant eyes.

Lin Ran understood that he should be a promise or a guarantee to himself.

Lin Ran smiled and nodded.

The native happily armed with a dagger and ran away to his tribe as soon as he smoked his way.

Lin Ran smiled and watched his indigenous friends leave.

Then he pointed to the clusters of plants full of fiery red fruits.

Said to Li Tai.

"Qingque, this is the pepper that the teacher told you."

"Eat it in one bite, and you're guaranteed to grin and shed tears."

When Li Tai heard this, his face was full of doubts.

"Teacher, if it's so uncomfortable, why does the teacher have to find it?"

"Because it is really a kind of treasure, it can not only be seasoned, but also can drive away the cold and dampness, as an ingredient, it has the effect of medicinal materials, it is really a rare godsend!"

Hearing the teacher's answer, Li Tailai was in good spirits.

"Teacher, since there are so many benefits, even if it is spicy, Qingque has to try it."

After saying that, Li Tai picked a fiery red pepper.

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth fiercely, and opened his mouth to put it into his mouth.

Chewing hard twice, Li Tai was tragic.

His mouth seemed to be on fire, and the spicy sensation he had never felt before made him spit it out in one gulp.

He stuck out his tongue vigorously, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Then the tears flowed involuntarily.

"Teacher, Qingque really can't stand this spicy taste."

"Father and queen mother, they will definitely not be able to bear it."

"Qingque, the teacher promises, you will definitely like this taste in the future."

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law will love the taste, too."

"As the saying goes, no spicy or happy, sweet and sour, bitter, spicy and salty, there is an important position in the five flavors, which shows its importance and status, and it is the taste destined by God to give to mankind."

"This kind of chili pepper is a kind of longevity treasure for the people in the cold and humid areas deep in the Tang Dynasty, does the green finch still think it is not important?"

Lin Ran smiled and taught.

Let Li Tai nod thoughtfully.

Now that he had found the species he was most looking for, Lin Ran decided to lead the soldiers back.

After all, it has been more than ten days along the way.

It took nearly a month to go back and forth the same way.

Changle must have been anxiously waiting for them to return to the station every day.

Once they had gathered enough red peppers, they were ready to return.

On the way back, I met an indigenous friend who had shown them the way.

He actually gave Lin Ran a leopard skin in perfect condition.

Lin Ran had to sigh at their wisdom.

You must know that their equipment and hunting tools are not the same as the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

However, even so, they were able to capture the leopard, which can be seen only since the appearance of humans.

Humanity is destined to become the master of the earth.

Wisdom is the main driving force for human civilization and development.

The indigenous friends were very happy to see Lin Ran accept the leopard skin.

He pointed to the leopard skin, and then brandished the short knife that Lin Ran had given him.

The meaning is obvious, this skin was cut by him with this short knife.

Lin Ran patted him on the shoulder, expressing affection.

The delighted indigenous friends rushed away with joy.

That movement, that speed.

Proper Olympics, the master of the 100-meter champion.

"Mother, why hasn't my father come back?"

The first sentence after waking up every day is this sentence.

In her young heart, how much she wished it would be like what her mother said.

When I wake up, I can see my father.

However, every time I woke up, I ran outside, but I couldn't find my father.

I waited like this for a month.

I always saw my father's tall and majestic figure.

Running over with a smile and joy, Lin Ran put down the things in his hand and opened his arms.

"Father..."

"Laugh and laugh..."

Xiaoxiao, who threw himself into Lin Ran's arms, was lifted high.

The sorrow and sorrow of many days of waiting vanished with this high lift.

In the middle of the night in Chang'an City, in the Taiji Palace and the Lizheng Palace, Empress Changsun suddenly felt a pain in her heart.

His face became paler, and he was short of breath.

A wave of dizziness hit, and Empress Eldest Sun fell from the bed to the ground.

"Oh no, no, the queen fainted......"

With the shout of the palace maid, the entire Taiji Palace was in chaos.

His Majesty Li Er was sleeping at Concubine Shu's place at this time.

Only from the Han King Li Ke, after successfully completing the journey to the west.

Even Concubine Shu is loved a lot by His Majesty Li Er.

However, no one can replace Guanyin's place in his heart.

I heard that the queen fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

His Majesty Li Er hurried to the Lizheng Palace.

The doctors of the Tai Hospital have already started to see patients.

As a result, one by one, their faces were like ashes.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is incompetent, Queen Mother, I'm afraid it's ......"

The latter words, kill them, and they don't dare to say it.

"Waste, a bunch of waste."

"What do I want you to do, even my queen can't heal me......"

The son and the son were carried by the nurse smoothly.

"Mother, mother... Wake up..."

The sound of his son crying made His Majesty Li Er's eyes moisten.

My son is so young, she can't be left without a mother!

You must save Guanyin, you must save Guanyin!

"Divine Doctor Sun, can you be in the palace?"

His Majesty Li Er, at this time, he can only pin his hopes on Sun Simiao.

I hope that this divine doctor who likes to travel all over the world can be in Chang'an City and in the palace.

It would be nice if my colt was here!

However, it was too late.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is here!"

He happened to return to the palace today, and when he learned that the queen mother was unconscious, he hurried over without waiting for His Majesty to summon him.

An old man dressed as a Taoist leader walked in, it was the divine doctor Sun Simiao.

"Doctor Sun, save the Guanyin maid who saved me."

His Majesty Li Er said as if he had seen a savior.
