Chapter 5 Li Shimin personally tried the plow
Out of the palace gate, Li Shimin saw the Quyuan plough carried by the guards outside the hall: "Uncle Bao, this is the Quyuan plough that you said can cultivate 30 acres a day?" ”
"Exactly, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin nodded: "Out of the palace." I'm going to try this plow myself. After saying that, he walked straight to the back garden.
After a while, everyone came to a corner of the back garden, there are ten acres of fertile land, which was specially ordered by Li Shimin to stay, Li Shimin will come to take care of it when he usually has nothing to do, and he is famous for experiencing the suffering of the people.
By this time, many people had already come here.
The guards put the plough into the ground and put the oxen on it. After everything was ready, Li Shimin rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go into the ground to help the plow himself. Qin Qiong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will demonstrate the operation for you first." ”
Li Shimin thought about it, too, he hadn't used this thing, so he nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Qin Qiong went down into the ground, helping the Quyuan plow that drove the ox, and Cheng Yanjin also went into the ground, kicked the guard away with a direct kick, and led the ox.
"Brother, I'll give you a cow." As he spoke, he led the ox and walked forward.
Everyone looked at the land that Qin Qiong walked over, everyone in the field was excited, the obvious speed was faster than the usual plow, and seeing that it was about to come to an end, Qin Qiong beckoned Cheng Yanjin to lead the ox and turn around, and Qin Qiong lifted the plow with one hand, drew a semicircle for the fulcrum at the front end, and completed it instantly.
Before the people on the edge of the field could come to their senses, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin had already pushed the plow and walked back.
"Your Majesty, it's really a lot faster, this is a divine thing!" Before Cheng Yanjin returned to the field, he shouted at Li Shimin.
"Good" Li Shimin was very happy to see the speed of farming.
Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong returned to the edge of the field, and Li Shimin rolled up his sleeves and went directly into the field, took the plow from Qin Qiong's hand, and began to plow the land back and forth. Not for a while. One acre of fertile land has been cultivated.
"Hahaha, this plow is a divine plow!"
The guards took the Quyuan plough from Li Shimin, and Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin came out of the ground. A group of ministers knelt down directly
"Ministers wish our emperor this divine plow, Your Majesty Shengming!"
When Li Shimin heard it, Long Yan Dayue, and immediately said: "Come on, order the Ministry of Industry to hurry up to build this Quyuan plow, Zhongshu Province to draw up a charter, take advantage of this year's early ploughing, and strive to replace a batch of this plow, Menxia Province is responsible for checking and filling in the gaps, and Shangshu Province cooperates with the implementation." ”
"Your Ministers obey!"
"Let's go with me" Li Shimin took Qin Qiong and the others and walked forward.
"Uncle Bao, tell me about that strange disciple." Li Shimin walked leisurely in front, obviously in a happy mood.
"Qin Feng was brought out of the Qinling Mountains by the ministers, saying that his master had traveled far away and had not returned, so he found a way out and met Zhang Dayong in the forest. Zhang Dayong saw that he was young and had nowhere to go, so he took him back to Chenzhuang. When Qin Qiong said this, she thought that she had scared Qin Feng when she saw Qin Feng, so she smiled and continued: "The minister originally wanted to tease this kid, but I didn't expect this kid to directly give the minister such a big surprise. The minister has accepted Qin Feng as his righteous son, and a ceremony will be held in the mansion on a certain day, and everyone is invited to gather at the mansion to give me a witness. And when he had finished speaking, he addressed the people
Hearing Qin Qiong say this, everyone also laughed, thinking about it, it was enough for them, the top figures of the Tang Dynasty, to scare a thirteen or fourteen-year-old doll.
"Qin Feng? I didn't expect it to be your family! That day, Shubao brought it into the palace and let me see this strange disciple. ”
After everyone talked and laughed for a while, they returned to the Liangyi Palace, and after taking their seats, Li Shimin ordered Gao Gonggong to draw up a decree.
"In April of the first year of Zhenguan, Qin Feng offered a plough for meritorious service, and was awarded a hundred taels of gold, ten horses of Juanjin, 300 acres of fertile land, and 100 households in the city."
"Your Majesty."
"Don't leave, let's have a few drinks."
At this time, Qin Feng was sleeping on the bed, and in his dream he returned to modern times, and he was about to reach the peak of his life and marry Bai Fumei. But I felt that someone was pushing me, and I opened my eyes in a daze and was ready to scold.
Take a closer look, this is not Qin Huaiyu, what is he looking for.
"Fengzi, do you really have a way to treat your father's illness?" Qin Huaiyu looked serious, his face was anxious.
"What?" Qin Feng, who was in a daze, sat up, but he didn't pay attention to Qin Huaiyu's name for himself, looking at Qin Huaiyu beside him, with Chicheng in his eyes, and the two of them who would play in the living room.
"Is it true that the butler said that you can cure your father's illness?" Qin Huaiyu stared at Qin Feng who was doing it.
"My father-in-law's illness is only caused by excessive blood loss during the war, not a big problem, and if you find a corresponding way, you can prescribe the right medicine, not to mention healing, treatment and seven or eight points are completely okay." Qin Feng also became serious.
"Fengzi, please save your father" Qin Huaiyu directly knelt on the ground and cried.
"Hurry up, what do you look like, a man has gold under his knees, kneeling to the sky and kneeling to his parents, how can he kneel easily." Qin Feng stepped forward to help Qin Huaiyu up. Looking at Qin Huaiyu with red eyes in front of him, his heart also hurt for a moment, he was an orphan himself, and when he came here, he worshiped Qin Qiong as his father-in-law, and said that the days were very short, but Qin Feng could feel that Qin Qiong was sincere to himself. No matter what his history is, Qin Feng wants to change his life against the sky for his father-in-law: "Huaiyu, follow me to the kitchen, my father-in-law's illness can slowly recover as long as he is treated with food, you take me to the kitchen, and I will make some food for my father-in-law." It can help the father-in-law replenish his flesh. ”
"Let's go!" Without waiting for Qin Feng to finish speaking, Qin Huaiyu pulled Qin Feng and galloped out and walked towards the kitchen.
The two came to the kitchen, where several cooks were busy in the kitchen, making dinner.
Qin Feng looked at the kitchen, fortunately, some spices were available, and the meat also had some mutton. Pork is cheap meat at this time, and large families do not eat it, while beef is controlled, and it is illegal to eat beef.
When several cooks saw Qin Huaiyu and Qin Feng, they fell directly to the ground.
"I've seen the young master!" In this class society, it is the gentleman who pays attention to the kitchen, and the man does not enter the kitchen. Not to mention a young master like Qin Huaiyu. Haven't been here at all before.
"This is my brother-in-law, you are busy, don't worry about us." Qin Huaiyu waved his hand, ignoring them, and said to Qin Feng.
"Can you please stop calling me Fengzi, so that others will hear me and think I'm really crazy!" Qin Feng rolled his eyes, how could he be nicknamed after sleeping in a night!
"Isn't this the wind screaming kindly!"
"Forget it! It's up to you! ”
"Fengzi, you see what you need, I'll help you get it."
Qin Feng rolled his eyes helplessly, not refuting the fate of being called Fengzi.
"Don't worry, it's not an overnight thing, I'll give the recipe to the cook, just make some for my father-in-law every day" Qin Feng appeased Qin Shubao, and then beckoned a few cooks over and told them some of the recipes that he knew in his previous life to replenish blood and qi. And every cook listened carefully to Qin Feng's narration.
It took nearly an hour for Qin Feng to explain the detailed recipe clearly, it was so time-consuming, mainly because of the ingredients, and many of them were not quite the same as the ingredients of later generations, so it took some time.
After finishing speaking, the hour was also evening, and the cook began to be busy with dinner, and Qin Feng and the others were also hungry, so they thought about making some noodles to eat, the current food is really not delicious. After finding some white noodles, I began to mix noodles, and there were about three or four catties of noodles. I didn't know how to make noodles, so I found some green vegetables and mutton, chopped them and began to fry them, ready to make marinade. I asked the cook for some salt, found some oil, and began to stir-fry. After the marinade was fried, the pot of boiling water was also opened, Qin Feng rolled out the noodles, folded them, and after a while, a piece of noodles was cut into strips, and after being thrown into the pot to cook, he poured the marinade on the pot and asked the cook to serve it to Jia's. And he and Qin Shubao ate directly at the kitchen door.
