The weather in the middle of summer is fading away.

It rained again in Chang'an.

Early that day, Zhang Liang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, stood up and handed over a letter.

"Holy Lord, over there in Lingzhou, Generalissimo Li Jing sent someone to send a letter."

Hearing that it was a border pass, Li Shimin hurriedly took it and took a look, and after reading it, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Holy Lord, but what happened to the border pass?"

"There is a shortage of grain and grass in Lingzhou, and I am afraid that it will not last long, but the Turks are unwilling to withdraw their troops and often invade Lingzhou, Li Jing hopes that the imperial court can allocate some grain and grass to them."

After Li Shimin finished speaking, everyone nodded slightly, the war in Lingzhou has been half a year, except for Li Jing who won a battle when he just went, so far, the whole war has not made much progress.

Now, there is a shortage of food and grass.

"Tang Aiqing, how much grain and grass do you have in the household?"

Tang Jian stood up and said, "Holy Lord, the household department does have some grain and grass, but there is not much that can be dispatched, and it is difficult to meet the needs of General Li Jing. ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned slightly: "Isn't it that the grain has just been harvested, and my Datang's grain tax has also been recovered, why is the dispatch insufficient?" ”

Tang Jian said: "Shengshang, this year's rain, on the side of the Yellow River Valley, there is a place where the embankment has burst, the river is overflowing, and the surrounding crops have been destroyed, not to mention, even many people have no food, and the household department has approved some relief grain for them, and now, the relief grain is already on the way, yes, there is not much left for General Li Jing." ”

Hearing Tang Jian say this, Li Shimin suddenly remembered that half a month ago, there was indeed a flood in Datang and the people were displaced, and he also approved a batch of grain to pass.

It's just that now the border soldiers can't go hungry.

"If there is any grain and grass in the household department, send it to Lingzhou first, and for the rest, the household department must find a way to get together the grain and grass as soon as possible."

After Li Shimin gave such an order, he didn't say this again, Tang Jian heard this, but his face was embarrassed, isn't this embarrassing for him?

But the household department was originally doing this, even if it was difficult, there was no way at all, so I could only respond.

When he retreated, the rain was still falling, and Tang Jian went directly to the household department.

"Send all the grain and grass left over by the household department to Lingzhou."

"Also, immediately start buying grain and grass, and buy as much as you can."

There is no grain and grass in the household, but there is still some money, although the expenses of the Tang Dynasty are very large, but in Tang Jian's opinion, it can almost raise enough for Li Jing.

The household department was busy all of a sudden, and in order to buy grain and grass, even people like Tang Jian had to go to some grain shops or other places to see, or buy them from the people.

And just when the household department was so busy, on the side of Qin Hou's Mansion, the sauce beans made by Qin Tian were finally ready.

This year, he made a total of ten jars of soy beans, each jar of about 30 catties.

Three hundred catties of soy beans, only eaten in their house, obviously can't be eaten, but when he made it, Qin Tian knew that this thing couldn't be kept.

When the soy beans are ready, it doesn't mean that they can be eaten right away.

Qin Tianming dug a pot out, and then came to the kitchen, stir-frying in the pot with some spices or something, and before stir-frying, a large amount of oil had to be added.

In this way, when the stir-fry is ready, the soy beans will look very attractive in color.

Fluttershy and the others have been waiting for the beans to be tasted, so after they are done, they are not very polite, and each of them has a steamed bun in their hands, waiting to eat.

Break the steamed buns, dig a spoonful of soy beans and spread them evenly, it looks yellow, after closing, take a bite, the fragrance of the soy beans, spicy and salty taste suddenly linger between the mouth, so that the whole person feels very comfortable.

Fluttershy takes a bite and loves it.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's better than meat."

The beans are rich in texture and very stimulating to the palate, and Fluttershy eats them as she says, and it doesn't take long for her to eat up a large steamed bun.

But because she didn't eat vegetables, and the taste of the beans was very good, she didn't feel full, so she couldn't help but take another steamed bun to eat.

As for Qin Wu, these men have already begun to eat the third steamed bun now.

They usually eat quickly, and if they have food, they will be relatively slow, but the sauce beans are too good to eat.

"Brother Tian, I can eat five today, your fried sauce beans are a bit insufficient."

Qin Wu took a bite of the steamed bun, and saw that Hu Shibai was already eating the tenth, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Old Hu, slow down, leave a little for the brothers." ”

Hu Eighteen's meal has always been very large, and at this time, he can still take care of Qin Wu and these people, pouted, and then opened his mouth to bite off half of the steamed bun, and a whole steamed bun is here with him, and it is only a matter of two or three bites.

After Qin Wu saw this scene, he immediately wanted to cry without tears, and he had no love.

Qin Tian here, said with a smile: "Okay, there are still a lot of things in the house, enough for you to eat, use a small jar to separate those sauce beans, you go and send a little to your father-in-law and those uncles, by the way, send a little to the saint as well." ”

Qin Tian commanded, but Qin Wu pretended not to hear, he was still eating with steamed buns, he hadn't eaten yet, now that he was gone, there was no more, Qin Tian saw him like this, and kicked over: "What are you still doing in a daze?" ”

Qin Wu was a little aggrieved: "Let's eat the last one." ”

Qin Tian also had no choice but to take him.

"The last one, hurry up."

Qin Wu took a steamed bun and went unhappily, but Hu Eighteen was still eating, but at this time, a pot of soy beans had bottomed out, Hu Eighteen glanced left and right, and then wiped the steamed bun directly around the basin, and then ate the last steamed bun in one bite.

Fluttershy's belly was already round and she was sitting in her chair not wanting to move, when Qin Tian glanced at him and gave him a small jar of sauce beans.

"What?"

"Go and send it to the Ninth Princess."

Fluttershy is so full that she doesn't want to move.

"Why don't you send it?"

Seeing that Fluttershy was so lazy, Qin Tian couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "If you don't go, if you don't have good things in the future, I won't give it to you, big brother." ”

Hearing this, Fluttershy jumps up from her chair, "Go, I can't go, I can't go, I have something delicious in the future, big brother must think about Fluttershy." ”

After taking the jar of soy beans, Fluttershy hugs it and goes to the Nine Princesses' Mansion.

The rain in Chang'an was still falling, and he didn't know when it was going to fall, Qin Tian looked at the Nine Princesses' Mansion in the smoke and rain, and suddenly became a little distracted.

Not far away, after Tang Rong saw this scene, her heart suddenly moved, and for some reason, she actually had a very strong sense of unease.

The uneasiness grew stronger and stronger, making her feel indescribably depressed and lost.
