Chapter 25: Overturning
Although King Han's farm is not small, it is only more than 1,000 acres after all.
And most of the place is farmland, and what is really worth seeing is a small mound of earth tens of meters high...... It's just a hill, a river, and a forest. So just half an hour later, Fang Zhizhi and Fang Yiai couldn't see it, and they suddenly felt bored.
The young Fang Yiai was a little impatient at first, and kept clamoring to go to the river to eat good food.
For the food of Han Wangfu, the teenager has been looking forward to it for a long time.
As the second son of the Liang Guogong Mansion, Fang Yiai is now the time to grow his body, and the daily amount of food is almost the sum of his father, mother, brother and sister! And as a qualified rice bucket, he is also the person who can best appreciate the changes in the quality of meals at home in the past two years - since there are iron pot stir-fry and thirteen spices, and ice juice and other things in summer, Fang Er no longer dares to imagine returning to the days of eating roasting, boiling, and steaming every day in the past.
It can be said that in just two or three years, the quality of the three meals in the Liang Guogong Mansion has made great strides for at least five hundred years!
However......
Everyone knows what the reason for the improvement of the quality of Liang Guogong's food is, and they also know whose food is the best in Chang'an City!
As the second son of the prime minister of the dynasty and the concubine of the emperor of the dynasty, Fang Jun not only knew the secret name of Yu Niang, the backyard of the Han Palace, but also knew from his father's occasional gaffes that the emperor once wanted to snatch love with a knife and bring the cook of the Han Wangfu into the palace, but his future brother-in-law was iron-clad and insisted on pushing back the emperor's request!
In a word, Datang cuisine is in Chang'an, and Chang'an cuisine is in Shengye!
So although he has been "appreciating" the scenery of Hanwang Farm under the pressure of his brother, in fact, Fang Yiai has been scratching his ears and cheeks in the direction of the river in the process. And after he asked for the eighth time, the impatient Fang Zhizhi couldn't stand it, and finally made the decision to "go and see", in fact, he himself felt that the scenery in front of him was crooked!
And it's the food of King Han's Mansion, who doesn't want to try it?
So after holding on for half an hour, Fang Yizhi felt that his little sister should also be familiar with her future husband, and when she was afraid that there would be problems if she continued to get along alone, she took her little brother to the river, ready to enjoy a real meal of Han Wangfu food!
And then......
"Uh, what's going on?"
Under the guidance of a small servant in the Han Wangfu, the two Fang brothers came to the river, and soon saw a set of tables and chairs that had been set up. And next to the table and chairs, several people were busy—two maids were barbecuing, and next to them there was a woman who Fang Zhizhi had met once, who was the cook of the Han Wang's Mansion, who was stir-frying on two coal stoves.
But Han King Li Yuanjia and Fang Fengzhu are not nearby.
After inspecting left and right, Fang Yizhi found that the two of them were standing side by side by the river a hundred steps away, as if they were talking to a few farmer-looking guys.
"Big brother, come over quickly!"
After smelling the rich aroma wafting over, Fang Yiai's saliva was about to drip down, and he hurriedly pulled the sleeve of his eldest brother and wanted to go to the table.
However, Fang Yizhi frowned, flicked his sleeves and said, "Wait! Let's go to the river first and see what they're doing...... Okay, if the king doesn't come over, can you still eat it yourself? ”
Seeing that the second brother was unhappy, Fang Yi glared at him and said angrily.
“…… All right. ”
Pouting, the young Fang Yiai had no choice but to follow the eldest brother to the eldest sister's side. Although his mother loves him very much, his family education since he was a child is also extremely strict! Sneak in when the owner isn't there? He really can't do this kind of thing.
It's just that the more the two brothers walked that way, the more surprised the expressions on their faces became.
When they got closer, they found that Li Yuanjia and Fang Fengzhu were not talking to a few farmers, but everyone was surrounding a strange thing. It's just that the two of them are watching around, while the others are busy hammering on the thing, as if it has just been assembled.
And after getting closer, Fang Zhizhi whispered in surprise slightly: "This is a rollover?" They're around this thing...... Hey? Wrong! This, this thing ......"
When he walked only a few steps behind Li Yuanjia and them, Fang Yizhi stood still.
It is a strange thing, made of wood, wide in front and narrow in the back, about three zhang long. The wide end is on the shore, while the narrow end stretches all the way into the water, and it seems to be divided into sections.
At first glance, Fang Zhizhi almost thought that it was the overturned car he knew.
No, this is definitely not the rollover he remembers!
As the future Liang Guogong, Fang Yizhi is the successor of Fang Xuanling's efforts to cultivate, although he does not really do much work in the field, but he will definitely not be a stranger to the world's most important agricultural work. So he must have seen this thing of overturning, and he has seen it a lot of times. But in Fang Zhizhi's impression, the overturned car is much more than the thing in front of him, and it looks much heavier!
And it looks like it's a lot more elaborate too!
"Is it ......?"
Naturally, Fang Yizhi remembered the Quyuan plough that Li Yuanjia had dedicated to the emperor before, and secretly surprised: "This strange overturned car was also improved by the king?" ”
"King! Eldest sister! ”
Just when Fang Yizhi looked at this thing in a daze, Fang Yiai was already impatient and shouted: "What are you looking at here...... Hey? What is this? Why is one end soaked in water? ”
"Bereavement, don't shout!"
After hearing his younger brother's voice, Fang Fengzhu quickly turned his head and glared at his younger brother, and then said in a low voice: "This is a rollover car ordered by the king to be renovated, which can be used to draw water from the river and irrigate the land." ”
When these words were spoken, Fang Fengzhu's eyes were also a little dazed.
As the eldest lady of the house, she doesn't go out of the door on weekdays, and she naturally doesn't know anything about overturning cars, Quyuan plows, etc., even if she listens to Li Yuanjia's explanation, she doesn't know what the meaning of this thing is. And to be honest, Fang Fengzhu really didn't understand why her future husband attached so much importance to this thing, and he had been around it for so long and refused to leave.
However, after listening to her words, Fang Zhizhi's eyes widened instantly: "Overturned? Is it really a rollover that the king makes? Could it be ...... Like the curved plow, this thing can also greatly reduce manpower? Well, if you just look at the appearance, it's a lot smaller! ”
At this time, Li Yuanjia, who also turned his head, smiled slightly, and said to his brother-in-law and brother-in-law: "You came just in time, this overturned car will be assembled immediately, let's see how the effect is?" ”
