Chapter 67: Aroma
Simple and clear, Li Yuanjia roughly talked about the role of the sewer.
However, for the things he explained, the right scholar said that he really didn't understand, and faintly said that he was not interested in understanding.
Li Jing was just a little embarrassed now, because he had really misunderstood King Xu just now.
Of course, he didn't expect that those people were all subordinates of the palace!
However, as a big man who has experienced the Sui and Tang dynasties and does not know how many ups and downs he has experienced in his life, Li Jing naturally will not let this embarrassment last too long, and soon smiled apologetically: "In this way, Li Mou blamed the king, and asked the king to forgive ......."
"Where, where, Li Xianggong is serious!"
Where would Li Yuanjia really make Li Jing apologize, and hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Xianggong is responsible for observing customs and customs, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he naturally has to ask to understand, where is the fault?" Haha......"
With a smile on his lips, Li Yuanjia really felt a little regretful in his heart.
Sure enough, as he expected, Li Jing had no interest in the so-called sewers at all, or it was still the same idea just now - Li Yuanjia's drainage ditches were built wide and large, and they were all buried, and the pictures were just good-looking!
In fact, he is used to this kind of view.
Not to mention Li Jing, who just came to Luzhou today and just knew what the sewer was, Huang Zhongliang, who finally let go of his reserve and studied with those craftsmen for several months, didn't he disagree with what Li Yuanjia said about the sewer from the bottom of his heart? It's just that unlike Li Jing, they don't dare to ask more even if they don't understand.
How could these people possibly understand without a long fact-check?
But......
After Li Jing still opened up those prejudices just now, Li Yuanjia still likes to chat with the old man.
Although you have to pay attention to what you say from time to time, at least with other people who hurry up to salute when they hear their own words, and they are "panicked" at the slightest casual moment, the old man is at least in an equal position with Li Yuanjia - King Xu's title is high and his status is respectful, but the power of the right scholar is great, and Li Jing's prestige, age and momentum are even more obvious!
Anyway, when chatting with Li Jing, Li Yuanjia felt a lot more relaxed.
The two had just chatted for a while, when the housekeeper Han Shan knocked on the door and came in, and said respectfully: "King, Li Xianggong, lunch has been prepared......"
"Xianggong, it's not early, why don't you have lunch first?"
"Haha, okay!"
Looking at King Xu's smiling invitation, Li Jing smiled and said: "I have long heard that the king is good at food, and iron pots and stir-fried vegetables have gradually spread in the capital since last year, which started in the king's mansion. Recently, there is a spice called what incense, which is exquisite, and for a while, the dignitaries of the entire Chang'an are eager to it! ”
For example, Li Jing himself, although he was a scholar and a servant and a prime minister, the emperor did not reward him with these things, and secondly, Li Jing himself rarely interacted with other colleagues in private, and he was unwilling to ask for people for the sake of his tongue, so naturally it was not his turn.
But after eating it twice, the old man was very impressed.
Now that he has the opportunity to eat the dishes of the real "originator" of stir-fried dishes, even if he is over the age of six, Li Jing, who has no interest in these side things for a long time, can't help but look forward to it......
"Huh."
Smiling slightly, Li Yuanjia did not answer the other party's words.
He also knew some of the specific situation from the letter from the capital, and he knew very well that iron pot stir-fry was popular or something, so he didn't have to think that it must be Li Jing's exaggeration. Although there are many nobles in Chang'an, and there are many rich people, it is not difficult for many people to get an iron pot, but stir-frying is also a craft, and you can really learn it by looking at it casually?
If you stir-fry indiscriminately, I'm afraid it's not as delicious as the barbecue and steamed vegetables made by good cooks, right?
So it is conceivable that the people who are really qualified to "popularize" stir-fry are either the emperor's favored ministers, such as the eldest grandson Wuji, etc., and the house must have been given refined iron pots, as well as the recipes of the imperial chef and even door-to-door guidance; Either it's Fang Xuanling's friend, who can get the good things that the future son-in-law personally sent to the future son-in-law.
Other than that, the others can only wait slowly.
When the technology of making iron pots slowly spreads, or when the production increases, and when there are more and more chefs who can stir-fry, and there are idlers to teach their chefs, they will be eligible to enjoy the freshness of stir-frying. And if you want to eat a variety of new dishes, such as those on King Xu's mansion, you may not have any hope for a lifetime......
As for the topic of what kind of fragrance and what kind of fragrance, Li Yuanjia didn't even pay attention to it.
The thirteen incense of five yuan and one tael, that is a secret industry that has only started with great difficulty, and the details must not be passed on casually. Otherwise, not to mention anything else, the cost of one hundred and eighty wen alone dares to sell for five yuan, which can attract countless scoldings to Li Yuanjia.
And......
As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can Li Yuanjia have anything to do with this businessman? If you can't even be interested, you naturally won't respond to Li Jing's words.
"Hehe, this son really has some doorways!"
Seeing Li Yuanjia's calm face and smiling and inviting him to go to dinner, Li Jing couldn't help but feel more and more surprised in his heart, and he couldn't figure out the King Xu in front of him more and more.
This kid......
It's only a little over sixteen, right?
But whether it is facing himself, the prime minister of the dynasty, the envoy of customs, or facing his rash accusations just now, this kid always seems to be calm and unmoved. And when I heard the topic of the thirteen incense, I didn't even shake my eyebrows, and I looked like I had nothing to do with it!
This kind of concentration can a sixteen-year-old boy have?
After taking a deep look at Li Yuanjia, Li Jing got up and followed him to a small door in the back. But while walking, as if he suddenly remembered something, Li Jing smiled again: "King, when Li was in Chang'an, he saw a kind of utensil, which was made of patches and nailed under the horse's hoof, called a horseshoe ......."
"Hehe, it's also called a horseshoe!"
The old man's voice only paused slightly, and Li Yuanjia nodded and said, "I made it based on a book in the Far West, and after using it for a while, I think it's pretty good, and it can effectively protect the horse's hooves from injury...... Why, Lee Sang-gong has also seen this thing? ”
"Yes, of course I did!"
With a slight raising of his eyebrows, Li Jing was a little uncertain about King Xu's attitude.
At the beginning, not many people knew about the horseshoe in the capital, after all, the emperor did not pay much attention to the drawings and real objects after receiving them, but just asked people to try to make some and find some horses to install to see the effect. But the Emperor's experiments were not over, and there was a group of people who took a great interest in the horseshoe - the sons and daughters of the powerful who served as the Emperor's bodyguards fell in love with the crisp and loud sound of the horsehoe running on the road!
So just after a month, there were hundreds of more war horses nailed to the horseshoe in Chang'an City!
And Li Jing, who noticed this thing, was very sensitive to the important value of the horseshoe, in addition to ordering people to nail the horseshoe to the horses in the house to prepare to see how it was, naturally he also had a strong interest in Li Yuanjia, who discovered this thing - in addition to horseshoe, iron pot and Quyuan plough and other things, what other good things does King Xu have?
However, before Li Jing could open his mouth to continue talking, not far from Fang Cai's room, the old man's face suddenly changed slightly, and his huge nostrils couldn't help but close one by one, and sniffed twice indecently!
What is it? How is it so fragrant?
……
I feel that there is a problem with this book, is it too urgent?
