Chapter 210: Eating and gambling

If corn is considered a high yield, then potatoes are definitely an over-yielding variety. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info improved potatoes in later generations, and the maximum yield per mu can reach 3,000 catties. This kind of quantity, placed in the Han Dynasty, fell on the ears of the emperor, I am afraid it is no worse than putting an atomic bomb.

At this moment, a woman's exclamation suddenly sounded in the front hall.

"Haha, this tortilla is so delicious. The mourning family has never eaten such delicious food! This is all made by Yan Ming's little monkey? Empress Dowager Dou's voice was noticeably higher an octave.

Hearing the voice of the Queen Mother, Yan Ming immediately put down the potatoes in his hand and asked the people waiting around him to wash the potatoes and set them aside. He wiped his hands clean, took the freshly baked tortillas, and walked out.

Outside, as soon as the mahjong is withdrawn, the gambling game becomes a meal. The so-called dinner is very simple. It's just tortillas. Because Yan Ming added salt to the tortillas, even if they were eaten empty, without side dishes, the tortillas were delicious.

On the table, except for Wang Huan, they can be regarded as elderly people. Yan Ming hurriedly smiled and said: "Although this corn is delicious, it is a hard food, and it is too right to eat it on an empty stomach, and it will cause a slight discomfort in the stomach." Although the so-called delicious food is good, you should not be greedy! ”

"Although the delicious food is good, you can't be greedy, but you shouldn't miss it!" A man, with a dissolute voice, came from the gate without scruples.

Yan Ming didn't have to guess, he knew that it must be the eldest princess Liu Yan. Except for her, who can enter the hot spring palace without having to pass through? Apart from her, who would dare to speak so loudly in front of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor?

turned around, it was really the eldest princess Liu Concubine, and by Liu Concubine's side, Princess Pingyang also followed quietly. She didn't have a big time like Liu Yan, but gave gifts to the Empress Dowager Dou and her mother Wang Wan in a proper manner, even to the old lady of the Yan Chen family, and she also owed slightly.

This surprised Yan Ming.

"Queen Mother, Yan Ming, this kid is too unkind, I know that I have built such a blessed land for you to please my son and mother, and my daughter is enviable!" Although she seemed to be complaining to the Empress Dowager Dou, she was actually giving Yan Ming a credit.

Yan Ming was also very surprised, and he didn't know how Liu Concubine put gold on his face as soon as she appeared. Looking at Liu Yan's plump body and the slightly plump body under the cover of the silk long skirt, Yan Ming's thoughts couldn't help but deviate a little, but he quickly warned himself that he was not interested in such a woman.

"What about that?" Empress Dowager Dou greeted the two generations of eldest princesses with a smile, and at the same time picked up the tortilla and handed it over.

"If you want the old lady to look at me, it's not too much for this Yan Ming to be a captain of Sosu!" When Empress Dowager Dou said this, she intended to promote Yan Ming.

Liu Che immediately stepped forward and arched his hand and said, "Imperial Grandmother, for the position of Captain of Sosu, Yan Ming is indeed very suitable!" Tomorrow ......"

Yan Ming immediately interrupted his words and said respectfully: "The Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the minister is opportunistic, and he got the seeds of corn by chance, if he becomes the captain of Sosu with this, it will not be fair!" The minister is still here in Maoling, teaching, and building a house. ”

Before the Empress Dowager Dou could speak, and without waiting for Liu Che to say anything, Liu Concubine took over and said, "You are good at what you said, hurry up and tell me what good houses there are in Maolingyi, this princess also wants to buy one, you have to be fair in price." ”

"The princess wants to choose a house, so naturally he didn't say. You can sit at home and wait, and when the villa area in Maolyeung-eup is built, you will have a house for you. Yan Ming smiled.

Liu Yan stretched out her finger, nodded at Yan Ming in the void, and said with a smile: "No wonder the queen mother always says that you, a little monkey, are indeed very popular." ”

Princess Pingyang ate very quietly, but her eyes fell on Yan Ming from time to time, and after a short stay, she would fly out.

For Princess Pingyang, Yan Ming has no crooked thoughts at all. Although Princess Pingyang can be regarded as a peerless beauty, Yan Ming knows that this princess will marry Wei Qing in the future.

He and Wei Qing are brothers, other women may be casual, but the brother's future daughter-in-law can't be involved.

Although in the Han Dynasty, ** happened from time to time, but it was Yan Ming's bottom line. He did not allow himself to touch his brother's woman.

Everyone tasted some corn tortillas, and Yan Ming went to the back kitchen and took out the dried corn food that had been boiled. Dried corn food wrapped in corn leaves, as soon as the pot is boiled, the fresh smell has already conquered everyone outside.

Corn dry food, Yan Ming steamed a lot. This thing is easier to make than tortillas, and he simply brought out the portions of everyone in the hot spring palace.

When Yan Ming said that he brought out the share of the palace maid's chamberlain, Liu Che secretly gave a thumbs up, and then quietly told the Empress Dowager Dou about it.

Empress Dowager Dou immediately sent an edict, saying that tonight's dinner should be prepared by Yanhou, and everyone would have a share.

At this moment, those drooling palace maids and chamberlains who had been gluttonous for a long time looked respectful and polite on the surface, and they were all very grateful to Yan Ming in their hearts.

The fragrance of fresh corn wafts above the hot spring palace. Everyone in the palace tasted the taste of corn.

Liu Che immediately ordered after the meal that in addition to leaving two ridges for Yanhou to eat for himself, the rest would be owned by the state and kept as seeds, and corn would be planted on a large scale around Chang'an next year.

Yan Ming was surprised, and at the same time he was very grateful to Liu Che. According to his idea, Liu Che would put all the corn under the royal name, but he didn't expect to leave two ridges for himself.

But before his grateful thoughts were over, Liu Che leaned over and whispered, "Little monkey, keep your seeds for yourself." Also, bring me a share of the corn you planted next year. ”

Yan Ming couldn't help but secretly glance at Liu Che, and suddenly felt that Liu Che was a landlord and an old fortune. The two of them have fought, and when people are not paying attention, they make a little move, which increases the friendship.

After eating, the old lady Dou's addiction to playing money came up again, beckoning to play mahjong. This time, because Concubine Liu also came, Princess Pingyang was also on the side, and the ladies and relatives also had Yanran and Tian Xi and others, a table of mahjong, obviously a bit overstaffed.

If you want to set up a few more tables of mahjong, there are enough people, but there are not enough mahjong. The Yan family only has such an ivory mahjong. The humble mahjong before, because of the arrival of this ivory mahjong, was thrown to the stove room by Yan Ming and burned.

As a result, a situation has resulted in more people and fewer cards.

Whether it is Empress Dowager Dou, or Wang Huan, or even Liu Yan and others, they are all out-and-out gamblers. It is also the reason why the nightlife was too boring in the Han Dynasty, and with mahjong, it added a lot of color.

Seeing that everyone was eager to try, Yan Ming suddenly thought of a new way to play, which could not only increase the atmosphere, but also not limit the number of people.
