After resting at home for many days, Wei Renshi finally rested.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the combat effectiveness of this gang of gentlemen is really strong, and they can still be so energetic after playing around for so many days.

From the end of the New Year to the middle of the Lantern Festival, it is probably the most idle period for Wei Renshi.

Although the imperial court has begun to get busy again, the officials have also resumed their normal work. However, Chongwenguan did not start lecturing, and Wei Renshi did not have a real job, so he was naturally idle.

Eat, sleep and sleep at home, and then go out to the market, the days are really beautiful.

Wei Renshi also invited carpenters and carvers to make a few more exquisite sets of Three Kingdoms Killing board games, sent one set to each of these gentlemen, and visited the elders in their families by the way.

After running through these gentlemen's houses, it was almost evening.

Before Wei Renshi returned home, as soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw several carriages parked at the side door, unloading things, so he was overjoyed and walked over quickly.

When he came back from Changgu and passed through Luoyang, Wei Renshi asked Sun Peng to transport a batch of green vegetables to Chang'an after the New Year.

It's finally here.

Wei Renshi watched as the family carried baskets of green vegetables back.

Then he said to the drivers who were driving: "The green vegetables are quite fresh, so it can be seen that you have hurried all the way here, and you have worked hard." Go and rest first, and come to the house tomorrow, and there will be no reward. ”

When the coachmen heard this, they were immediately very happy and hurriedly thanked them.

"Uncle Shi, you asked people to divide these things into dozens of portions, and there must be every kind of vegetable in them." Wei Renshi picked up a cucumber from the basket with his hand, washed it or not, and put it directly into his mouth to gnaw with his hand, with a crisp click, cool!

"Okay, I'll watch the people divide it tonight, and I won't delay Xiaolang to use it tomorrow." Uncle Shi nodded and said.

Wei Renshi was very relieved about Boss Shi, the new housekeeper.

And when Wei Renshi went out early the next morning, those vegetables had indeed been distributed, and baskets were neatly placed there.

Wei Renshi called the guys at home, and the two of them carried a basket.

"After the dinner later, you will work in pairs and send all these things out to the mansions I have explained." Wei Renshi said to the guys in the family.

In addition to the ones that the guys in the family gave out, there was another larger basket with the same variety of vegetables in it, but there were more of each. This was prepared by Wei Renshi for Li Chun and them.

Li Chun ate fresh, so he naturally wanted to be filial to Li Yu, and Li Yu naturally wanted to be filial to Li Shi. So a little more.

It is also good for them to rest assured that the green vegetable business is not just talking about it.

Wei Renshi asked those family members to set off with their things, and he also walked to the palace with those vegetables and vegetables.

There are not many types of vegetables in Datang. Especially in winter, there are no wild vegetables that can bring some freshness to the three meals. A few days ago, Li Chun invited everyone to eat hot pot, most of which were meat. Fresh vegetables are not at all except cabbage leaves. By the way, the cabbage at this time is not called cabbage, but woad.

The most common vegetables are probably only sunflower, weed, leek, woad, and camelina respectively. Aoi is winter sunlow; Herb is the young leaves of soybean seedlings; Leeks are leeks; Woad i.e. cabbage; Capsule, that is, shepherd's cabbage. Then there are the persian grass – that is, spinach – and carrots that Zhang Yu brought back from his mission to the Western Regions. The Han Dynasty introduced cowroach and eggplant and lettuce from India, which were probably the main vegetables on the table of the Chinese before the Tang Dynasty. In fact, most of the vegetables or other grains eaten in later generations were introduced from Europe after Western ocean-going ships were brought into Europe from the Americas during the Ming Dynasty.

There are many fruits or vegetables that can be eaten in later generations, which are not available in this era, so even the emperor, when he is tired of eating meat in the winter and wants to change the taste, he can only eat pickles. It's not that there are no out-of-season vegetables, but they are extremely rare and rare, and only a few will be next to a few hot springs, and when they are picked, they will not have time to send them far away. Every winter, there will be some vegetables that grow next to the hot spring in the palace, but there are too few, and the emperor's family alone is not enough, so it is extremely precious, and most of the time, it is used by the emperor to get in touch with the ministers of the court.

This uses green vegetables to win over the relationship, and now in addition to the emperor, it is also the son!

It's a little bit of a shame to think about it.

Wei Renshi took the vegetables to the outside of Li Chun's residence, covered them with a cloth, and then carried them inside after being reported.

It didn't take long for Li Chun to come out from behind, see Wei Renshi, and ask, "Why, Renshi hasn't rested at home these days, what kind of things have you brought here, and you have to cover it?" ”

Wei Renshi grinned and said, "Let's do business together, and everyone agreed without seeing the real thing, which is trustworthy to me." Naturally, I'll have to show everyone that this is the case. ”

"Oh? Are they all greens? Li Chun asked in surprise.

"Not bad. But greens aren't a strange thing. I led the people of my fellow village in Changgu to improve some wasteland, planted some vegetables and vegetables, and sold them in Luoyang for a winter. This is the first harvest after the year, so it was transported to Chang'an and given to Prince Chun to taste fresh. Wei Renshi said as he bent down and grabbed the cloth cover outside, and pulled the cloth cover open: "It's also ordinary vegetables and vegetables, give Prince Chun a fresh taste." ”

"Huh?!" Li Chun's eyes widened, and he looked at the big basket of various vegetables in surprise, and then he got up and walked to the side of the basket and bent down to take a look, stretched out his hand and took out one, looked at it carefully over and over again, and said in surprise: "Fresh and tight, like just picked!" ”

"Yes, it was just picked a few days ago, and it was transported from Luoyang in a hurry." Wei Renshi said to Li Chun.

"That's weird!" Li Chun's surprised nails pinched the vegetables in his hand: "It's not that I don't understand nongsang, this courgette likes to be warm and the most jealous of cold, how can it be all this season?" Could it be that there is a hot spring under Changgu? Even if it is poured into a hot spring, where can it produce so much? ”

"Lord Chun, there will be more in the future." Wei Renshi said to Li Chun: "That is, the road is slow and delays time, so it is only sold in Luoyang." If Weinan also starts production, the scale must be larger than Changgu. Next winter, as long as you are willing to spend money in Chang'an City, there will be no shortage of green vegetables to eat. ”

Li Chun opened his mouth in surprise and looked at those fresh fruits and vegetables: "This ...... That's really ...... Renshi, how can you grow so many green vegetables in the winter without relying on hot springs? W, isn't this a spell?! ”
