Chapter Fifty-Eight: Chinese Specialties
When you don't have a mobile phone, it's boring, it's painful, and it's like a year.
Reading the imperial court report has become one of the few ways for Cheng Chuliang to pass the time.
That morning, after watering the precious potatoes and drinking a bowl of pimple soup, he opened the newspaper as usual, and then he saw a shocking news.
Li Yuan moved, from Daxing Palace to Hongyi Palace, and vacated the Taiji Hall for Li Shimin to convene a meeting of hundreds of officials.
This means that Li Yuan has completely compromised.
In an inconspicuous location, there was also a message recorded that Pei Lin had died.
Cheng Chuliang believes that Pei Lin should die peacefully, and it is a good ending to die in Chang'an City.
Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan's face, but after all, he did not fall into the ground, and returned everything to Pei Lian.
Cheng Chuliang can see clearly, Li Shimin is a very small-minded person, and for the safety of life and property, it is better for him to have less contact with him.
By the way, if the potatoes are not adapted to the climate and soil of the Tang Dynasty, and he can't get the so-called auspicious rui at that time, will Li Shimin cut off his head?
Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to continue to think about it.
Bodhisattva bless, you must grow potatoes, in case Li Shimin turns his face and doesn't recognize people, buddy will be a tragedy.
As the saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in one basket and you can't bet all your treasures on potatoes.
In the past few days, in order to pass the boring time, Cheng Chuliang turned into a vegetable farmer, planting peppers, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., and he planted all the crops that came with him.
One is afraid that the potatoes will not grow, and there are spare tires, and the other is that these things are too long and easy to break.
When Cheng Chuliang was working in the soil, Lin Ying'er was very surprised when she saw his skillful method of planting vegetables, and her jaw almost dislocated in surprise, "The son of Grandpa Guo's family can farm?" It's incredible, isn't it? ”
Cheng Chuliang didn't feel that he was exposed, but said very calmly: "Don't you know, in the five years that I studied art with my master, he simply treated me as a slave, not to mention farming, I have done all the work, so I sent him a night pot." ”
Regarding Xu Zhicai's own master and the fact that he followed him to study medicine for five years, Cheng Chuliang believed it himself.
Lin Ying'er scoffed at his vulgarity.
"You have learned the art of immortal medicine, why don't you open a medical hall to treat diseases and save people?"
Cheng Chuliang stopped what he was doing and replied seriously: "There are no medicinal materials." ”
"Go into the mountains and pick it, I can help you."
Cheng Chuliang made a compassionate look, "The medicinal materials I need are not collected, but need to be refined and processed by various precision instruments." ”
"Is it hard?"
"It's very hard!"
He is a Western doctor, not a Chinese medicine doctor, and if he leaves the instrument, his eyes are black, and if he opens a medical center, he is worried that he will be beaten to death by the patient's family.
"Young master, Zheng Xiang is here with a little piglet."
Hao Jian roared, startling Cheng Chuliang.
"Pigs and dogs are not as good as things, do you want to die! Babbling all day long, cutting out your tongue! ”
Frightened, Hao Jian hurriedly covered his mouth and didn't dare to speak.
"You lead him and send it down door to door, let them raise it slowly, and when they are raised in the future, they will sell it for money."
Hao Jian's face fell, and he said: "Second young master, the villain heard that the farmers have a little opinion on pig raising, saying that people can't eat enough, what to feed the pigs!" ”
Cheng Chuliang couldn't help but said loudly: "If anyone doesn't raise him well, this young master will abolish him!" You tell them, just say that Young Master Ben likes to eat pork, not only to raise, but also to fatten, and when he grows three or four hundred catties, Young Master Ben will take the money to recycle, didn't they say that there is nothing to feed, go to the mountains to cut pigweed! ”
Hao Jian hurriedly said yes.
Or the second young master has a way.
The piglets who were given for free dared to dislike it, and those farmers really didn't know what to do.
"By the way, Second Young Master, Zheng Xiang wants to see you, saying that he wants to kowtow to you!"
"Let him get out of here, this young master has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to see him, tell him, sell his pork well, listen to me, there is money to be made!"
Hao Jian sometimes envies Zheng Xiang, since he met the second young master, he has come to work from time to time, not only got rid of poverty, but also made a fortune.
Knowing that Engong didn't want to see him, Zheng Xiang remembered that he was about to cry, but he came to kowtow to Engong sincerely.
"Brother Hao Jian, you are the happiest, you can serve Engong every day, broaden your horizons, and increase your knowledge, you are really envious of others."
Hao Jian felt that Zheng Xiang's words were reasonable, as the second young master's follower, he was now a man with a head and a face in the Suguo Mansion, and even His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and His Royal Highness the King of Shu would nod when they saw him, not to mention Cheng Dong, who had always looked at him with his nostrils.
We're just a subordinate, if we put it before, we wouldn't dare to think about it.
All this was given by the second young master, and the second young master was mighty and domineering.
Hao Jian went to distribute the piglets, and Cheng Chuliang sat in a rocking chair, looking at the sky in a daze.
There are still more than two months before the potatoes can ripen, and there are still more than two months before these cooks can become teachers.
People must not be idle, they must find something to do for themselves, otherwise they will die of boredom.
At this time, a beautiful pheasant flew into the yard.
Oh, I didn't expect to forget the quintessence of our Greater China!
Pheasant, let Cheng Chuliang think of the chicken.
Why don't you make a pair of mahjong, find a cool place when you have nothing to do, make a pot of tea, and rub mahjong, isn't it very pleasant.
Just do it.
But the best carpenter in the furniture workshop in Chang'an City, is it difficult to become this little thing and then go back to Chang'an? It's not enough toss back and forth!
It has to be tossed, it's not a trivial matter!
"Wang Lin, you go back and call Zhu Jin back to Young Master Ben, bring good wood, Young Master Ben has something important to hand over to him!"
Wang Lin hesitated a little, "Second Young Master, the villain has left, what should I do with this potato?" ”
As you said, if the potatoes go awry, I'm done!
"Don't talk nonsense, Potato, Young Master Ben is watching it personally, you hurry up and let Zhu Jin come to see me as soon as possible!"
Wang Lin ran away with a smoke.
Zong Mao entered the courtyard unconsciously, and frightened Cheng Chuliang again.
"Grandpa Zong, you are scared to death and you don't pay for your life!"
Zong Mao didn't apologize at all, stared at Cheng Chuliang, and said coldly: "Xingping County, recently the Emperor Taishang doesn't want to eat, Your Majesty announced that you will enter the palace and accompany the Emperor Taishang to relieve your boredom." ”
Li Yuan is depressed?
But what does this have to do with me, it was Li Shimin who hurt him, why did he let me accompany him to relieve his boredom and always let me wipe his ass?
"Can I not go?"
Zong Mao's face was expressionless, "Resisting the decree is a capital crime!" ”
Cheng Chuliang hurriedly changed his words: "Haha, Father-in-law, I'm just joking, how can a good law-abiding person like me resist the decree, leave now, don't let the emperor wait in a hurry." ”
Zong Mao said: "Xingping County, don't worry. The county once said that people's mood is destined for three points, and seven points depend on baked cakes, but no matter how delicious things are given to the emperor, the emperor is tasteless. Therefore, His Majesty specially explained that the county must think of a way. ”
The Li family is really difficult to serve, obviously you have a request for me, and you still look high, which is really unpleasant.
