Chapter 175: Ginseng, Vegetables
Feng Daiwen's free life was just right, and the eldest brother Feng Daizhi rushed to Funing with the imperial doctor.
"I've seen my eldest brother, thank you eldest brother for coming to visit." Feng Daiwen asked the imperial doctor to examine Guang'an's body, and he said to Feng Daizhi.
"Second brother is polite, I haven't congratulated you on becoming a father yet." Feng Daizhi smiled and saluted back.
"Haha, big brother, take a break and wash the dust for you later." Feng Daiwen smiled happily at the mention of the child.
The two imperial doctors checked for Guang'an and concluded that they were very healthy, so Feng Daizhi stepped forward to greet him and said: "I have seen the princess, the holy lord has told her that the princess is in good health, so she will go back to Chang'an to recuperate." ”
"Why should the eldest brother see the outside, I have seen the eldest brother." Guang'an was very happy to get up and salute back.
"Well, wait for me to arrange it, and escort Guang'an back in two days." Feng Daiwen was stunned for a moment, thinking that Chang'an is indeed better than Liaoxi, it is not so cold, there are more imperial doctors, and Guang'an has more acquaintances in Chang'an, which is also beneficial to the body and mind, and there is no experienced person here.
Guang'an saw that Feng Daiwen agreed, so naturally he would not object, and let Feng Daiwen arrange it.
On the same day, Feng Daiwen still entertained his eldest brother to eat hot pot, and eating hot pot in winter is enjoyable.
When the dishes were served, Feng Daizhi was already stunned, although they were all some dishes that he had eaten, but he had not eaten them in winter, crisp cucumbers, cabbage, pine cabbage, mustard greens, green vegetables were green and delicious, and he actually served fresh watermelon after eating even more excessively.
I have been holding back my doubts, and when the watermelon comes up, I can't bear it anymore and asks, "Erlang, where is this from, is there also warm soup here?" ”
"Haha, I thought you had to endure it all the time, big brother!" Feng Daiwen admired the expression of the eldest brother who wanted to ask many times and held back, and said with a laugh.
"It's up to you, don't blame the big brother, this is a greenhouse vegetable planted by the husband, which can grow in winter." Guang'an glanced at the mischievous Feng Daiwen and explained to Feng Daizhi.
"Able to grow in large quantities?" Feng Daizhi didn't care about the second child's prank, so he couldn't believe it and asked.
"Of course, I have ordered to pick and load the ship and transport it back to Chang'an, make a lot of money, and subsidize the finances of western Liaoning, which is the harvest of thousands of people busy in a winter." Feng Daiwen said proudly.
Guang'an was proud and said: "You can keep more for the palace, the queen mother especially loves to eat watermelon." "Guang'an is also used to calling it watermelon, not cold melon.
"Hehe, that's of course, but this also requires the appropriation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and if you want to come to the Holy Lord, you won't take advantage of the people." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.
"Husband, how much do you plan to sell it for a catty?" Guang'an asked curiously.
"A pound? No, no, like cabbage, cucumbers should be sold on the basis of pieces. Feng Daiwen shook his head and said.
"One? How much does that cost like a cucumber? Guang'an asked in surprise.
"Ten dollars a cabbage, no bargaining!" Feng Daiwen was like a vegetable vendor, and said with a nail and iron.
"Isn't it too expensive?" Guang'an couldn't believe it and silently calculated in his heart, muttering to himself.
"Expensive? Of course it's not expensive, Madame must know that this is all prepared for Chang'an Xungui, tens of thousands of people are busy for a few months, and then transported thousands of miles by big boat, it should be more expensive, you can wait for next year if you can't afford it, and if you plant more next year, it will be cheaper. Feng Daiwen raised his eyebrows and said.
"There are only more than 1,000 people planting, take care of it, tens of thousands of people from there, there are no thousands of miles to take the waterway from Liaoxi to Chang'an, husband, you lie to people." Guang'an said very honestly.
"Madam misunderstood, how can this be said to be a lie, just a little exaggerated, so that it can appear particularly good, isn't it, do you say these are good things, think about it, those noble people, eat meat every day, eat so much that they want to vomit, a little dried radish is a good dish, we are thinking about them, it should be a little more expensive." Feng Daiwen was stunned by Guang'an.
"Hmph, anyway, I know you're lying to me, I can't say you, the concubine is sick, so I'll retire first." Guang'an wrinkled her good-looking nose, snorted and said hello to let people help her to rest, leaving the two brothers to chat and catch up.
Feng Daizhi kept smiling at his little two mouthfuls, and after Guang'an left, he said: "The princess is really a good match, the second brother is so blessed, the eldest brother respects you a cup." ”
"Haha, Guang'an is indeed very good." Feng Daiwen picked up his wine glass and said with a smile.
"Vegetables into Chang'an, it will surprise everyone, hehe." Feng Daizhi said with a smile.
"Well, yes, the little brother can't stay in Chang'an for a long time, so I'm going to trouble the big brother to arrange someone to sell it." Feng Daiwen smiled.
"Well, it's a trivial matter, and it's done naturally." Feng Daizhi agreed without hesitation.
Afterwards, Feng Daiwen took out a few huge ginsengs, handed them to Feng Daizhi and said solemnly: "Big brother, this is called ginseng, it has the effect of prolonging life, the old and frail, eating a beard can make the body better, you stay and defend yourself, and the rest are sent back to Aya." ”
"It really works!" Feng Daizhi was taken aback and said in a low voice.
"It's true, but it depends on the year, you see that this big one is at least a few thousand years old, maybe tens of thousands of years, but these little brothers don't understand." Feng Daiwen introduced.
"Where did you come from?" Feng Daizhi grabbed the box, looked left and right, and asked.
"Hehe, this is only available in Baishan and Heishui, but it is not a simple tonic like Goguryeo, the Khitans unintentionally picked it, they don't know the goods, they all eat a little when they want to starve to death, it's too wasteful." Feng Daiwen said bitterly.
"Yes, such a treasure has been ruined by these Khitans, and if you can't do it, you must drive them away." Feng Daizhi gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't worry, I have a way, I'm using it, whether it has any effect, I'll know it in the next year, but big brother remember, don't eat this normal person, even if you eat it, you can only eat a little, like this biggest, as long as one whisker, it can make you make up for the blood boiling, nosebleeds for a long time, and a serious one can make up for the dead, this is the most tonic and domineering tonic that the little brother knows." Feng Daiwen said in a serious tone.
In fact, this is also the reason why the Mohui said that some Khitan people were hungry and dizzy, and after eating one, they bled to death, so although the Khitan people knew it well, they didn't dare to eat it until the moment of life and death, thinking it was poisonous, which was also the reason why the Mohui didn't dare to give it to Li Shimin, and even gave it to Feng Daiwen was repeatedly advised.
"It's so domineering, but it's really a good thing, it's simply a legendary elixir!" Feng Daizhi sighed.
"Hehe, this ginseng is also called the king of herbs, especially the one that grows on the White Mountain is the best, and the one that grows in Goguryeo and other places can only be regarded as a general tonic, which is similar to the deer antler, and the tribute of the past dynasties is those, so it has not attracted the attention of the imperial court." Feng Daiwen explained.
"I see, I just said that no one knows about such a good thing, so will the effect of this medicine be lost?" Feng Daizhi suddenly realized and asked.
"This is inevitable, but in the sandalwood box, it still has an effect for decades, I have already told them, transplantation in the future, digging when needed, and it can be planted artificially, but the medicine is not strong in the year." Feng Daiwen explained carefully.
"Oh, it's good if there's a way, what can save your life is a good thing." Feng Daizhi said with a smile.
