Chapter 931: The icing of Jiaozhi, the potato that buys people's hearts
"There is no shortage of gold and silver in our family, and there will never be a shortage of gold. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Today, Xiaodao took someone to buy back a cow that had just fallen to death, the price was not cheap, and Zhang Shuhui felt that it was too luxurious.
"Nuer Gandusi is a big Ming, cattle and sheep will be sent in a steady stream, eat if you want, don't save."
Zhang Shuhui hugged the potatoes and said, "Husband, where are all the cattle sent from the grassland?" ”
"I was bought in advance, I don't want to find someone for this thing, I'm too lazy!"
Fang Xing handed Xiao Bai the babbling peace in his arms, and then went to the kitchen.
Outside the kitchen, Knife and Fang Wu were breaking down the beef and then taking it to Chunsheng to dispose of.
"There are a lot of bones, so I take some home to make soup and drink to strengthen my bones."
Fang Xing doesn't like to gnaw on cow bones, and he can't move if he gnaws.
Hua Niang had already cut off the best parts, and when she saw Fang Xing, she smiled and said, "Master, is it okay to make a meal of beef dumplings?" ”
"Okay, I haven't eaten it for a long time, pack more, and even Mr. Xie and Mr. Huang will be counted when the time comes."
So at noon, everyone in the main house has a bowl of beef dumplings, and the seasoning is self-sufficient.
Ping An naturally can't eat it, that is, potatoes eat a bowl of beef soup noodles.
Fang Xing made a dipping water, placed the peeled garlic on the left hand side, sandwiched a dumpling, rolled it in the dipping water, and put it in his mouth.
Good heat!
Beef dumplings are not delicious when they are cooked, and Hua Niang's control of the heat is good, not old, but not raw.
Take another bite of garlic and continue to eat while it's hot.
That's life!
The entire Fangjiazhuang rested, the cattle and horses returned to the circle, and everyone changed into new clothes and smiled.
The children, dressed in new clothes, deliberately put copper plates in their pockets, and when they ran, they made a crashing sound, and when they heard it, it was money.
Some merchants living in Peking also took advantage of this opportunity to wander around, put down their burdens, took out the bells and shook them, and the children rushed to them.
"There are caramels, there are little bamboo horses, and there are nine consecutive ......"
The caramel was not popular, but the little bamboo horse and the nine links were bought out by the children of Fangjiazhuang.
Then the adults came on the field, fat powder, jewelry, and even head ropes, the women of Fangjiazhuang did not hesitate to buy and buy, which made the merchant a little confused.
"Why doesn't anyone buy caramel anymore?"
He knew that Fangjiazhuang was rich, so he made a special trip, but why didn't anyone buy the good caramel that sold last year?
When a peasant woman saw him in a daze, she smiled and said: "My lord got a lot of frosting from Jiaozhi, and all those in Fangjiazhuang can be bought at a cheap price, who will look at the caramel candy!" ”
The white sugar of Jiaozhi began to enter the Ming Dynasty in small batches, and for this reason, Xu Jingchang also came to Fangjiazhuang for the New Year.
"Dehua, how can we sell this candy?"
When Xu Jingchang arrived, Fang Xing was watching Hua Niang make beef jerky, and when he heard the words, he said: "Consignment, the Sihai Bazaar is still under construction, and the sugar can't be left for a long time, so I will take it to those grocery stores for consignment, but I have to prepare some to send to the palace." ”
Xu Jingchang said entangledly: "If you send it to the palace, you won't be able to do it if you don't have it!" ”
Fang Xing said with a smile: "It's just a few hundred catties, send some in, Your Majesty also knows the benefits of Jiaozhi, otherwise what if someone in the court talks about abolishing sugarcane in the future?" After all, the Ming Dynasty is mainly based on food! ”
Xu Jingchang picked up a piece of beef and subconsciously stuffed it into his mouth, it was sweet and spicy, and it felt delicious.
"Who dare?"
Xu Jingchang is not good at stubble, he took another slice of beef, and said fiercely with a fierce look: "That's what I planted with hard work when I went to a barren land, who dares to say that if I cut it, Lao Tzu will cut him!" ”
Fang Xing saw that the beef slices in the dustpan were decreasing, so he instigated: "Then you should hurry into the palace now, maybe Your Majesty will have some rewards!" ”
"Yes! It's not a bad omen for the New Year. ”
Xu Jingchang felt reasonable, but when he was leaving, the guy took away a few catties of beef slices, saying that he would take them home for the children to eat.
"What a foodie!"
……
Zhu Di is also preparing for the New Year.
The scale of the New Year in the palace is too large, and Wang Guifei has been in good health recently, and even the imperial doctor said that it was a blessing, so this mess was handed over to her.
Wanwan became much more well-behaved after being grounded, and walked slowly according to the rules.
"Grandpa Huang, Wanwan wants to have dinner with you."
Zhu Di looked at the grace of the rules, frowned, and said, "Punished?" ”
Wanwan said pitifully: "Well, Wanwan set fire to the palace, and her mother punished her with grounding." ”
Zhu Di turned his neck uncomfortably and said, "I know about that, I don't blame you, let's go play." ”
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Wanwan's eyes lit up, and after saluting, she couldn't wait to run away with her entourage.
As for having dinner together, seeing her happy eyebrows, I must not remember it.
"Humph!"
Little girl with no conscience!
Zhu Di continued to deal with political affairs. The territory of the Ming Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, and there are countless political affairs that need to be dealt with every day, as an emperor, Zhu Di refuses to delay, so he can't feel the atmosphere of the New Year.
"Your Majesty, Dingguo Gong asks to see you."
"Let him in."
Although the Xu family is a double family, Xu Qin, the Duke of Wei, is only eleven years old, and he used to be naughty, and was driven back to study by Zhu Di.
Xu Jingchang is not a good bird, if it weren't for the face of the deceased queen, Zhu Di would have to whip him half to death.
Xu Jingchang came in and saluted, and after getting up, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the minister planted some sugarcane and made some frosting in Jiaozhi, and the minister didn't dare to enjoy it exclusively, so he has selected the best batch to offer to His Majesty." ”
Naturally, frosting is needed in the palace, and there is a lot of demand.
Zhu Di remembered the dim sum Wanwan gave him a few days ago, and it was not sweet, so he said: "It's rare that you remember the palace, so take it." ”
Naturally, someone below will settle with Xu Jingchang, so after he saw that Zhu Di had no intention of rewarding, he said goodbye a little stupidly.
Zhu Di looked at his back and suddenly asked, "Does Fang Xing know about this?" ”
Xu Jingchang turned around in amazement and said, "Your Majesty, the minister just came out of his house. ”
"That's good."
Zhu Di continued to deal with political affairs, and Xu Jingchang left the palace in a daze.
……
Chinese New Year's Eve, the Fang family is still the same, but with two more children, it seems much more lively.
Tudou is the eldest son, but he can't do adult things, and in the end, Fang Xing asked Jay Fang to accompany him to the villager's house to condole, which can be regarded as laying the foundation in advance.
Tudou put on a new green shirt, looking like a little adult, in front of him was Jay Fang leading the way, beside him was a bell to protect him, he himself was held by Mama Deng, followed by two family members with some condolences, a mess.
"Little uncle! Little uncle! ”
When they arrived at the village settlement, the children happily gathered around when they saw the potatoes.
Potato said with a straight face: "Sugar, there is sugar." ”
The two families hurriedly began to distribute sugar, this is to buy people's hearts, and seeing those adults laughing happily on the side, you know that most of them are successful.
"I've seen the little uncle."
A group of people bowed and saluted, almost startling the potato, he was a little dazed, and then began to read according to Fang Xing's words.
“…… It's all good, a year...... Better than a year. ”
Potato stammered, as if he was reciting a book, and his body was shaking all the time, but the farmers were all bowing and listening, with serious expressions.
Then the potatoes staggered to the most difficult Fei family in the village.
Fei Da broke his leg a few years ago, Zhang Shuhui borrowed some money from his family without interest, and then his leg was better, but after all, he was in debt, and his life has always been tight.
After seeing the potatoes, Fei Da was excited and wanted to kowtow, but Jay Fang stopped him.
Potato thought about it, but in the end he couldn't remember what to say, so he had to say nonsense: "Be good." ”
"This is the young master's food, the New Year is indispensable for the family, there is meat, flour, and cabbage at home, right? It's good to have it, then wrap dumplings stuffed with cabbage and meat, and farm well in the coming year, and there will be good days. ”
