Chapter 334: The Errand of Losing Your Head
Now Chang'an has entered the middle of October, and the heavy snow is also covering the entire Chang'an. Moreover, Qin Ze found that the winter in Datang was extremely cold, at least it was more than ten degrees below zero.
And in this era of heating, such severe cold means that more people are facing the danger of their lives.
But at this time, Li Yuan was going to move to Hongyi Palace, the palace house was carved with high beams, and a cold wind blew in in winter, and it often took a pillar of incense to make a circle.
The atmosphere is the atmosphere, but there is no way to keep warm.
So the biggest problem in front of Li Er at this time is how to let his father survive this winter. But since Li Yuan chose to move out at this time, it was not mixed with his blockage of Li Er.
Li Yuan and Li Er don't get along well, and the whole court knows this. It is precisely for this reason that Li Er is desperate to solve this problem.
In this way, it seems that it is not as simple as repairing the house, and if you don't do it well, you are afraid that you will lose your head.
Thinking of this, Qin Ze also smiled bitterly and said, "There are many skilled craftsmen in the palace, how can you not think of a countermeasure." In addition, Tang Gong has also seen the fire kang in the Turks, and he has done it to find someone. ”
Qin Ze looked at Tang Jian and deliberately pretended to be confused, but both of them were human spirits. So Tang Jian also shook his head and laughed, and only said in a half-loud voice: "No, the craftsman's head has dropped five or six." You should know that this is not so simple, otherwise I would not have come to consult you. ”
Tang Jian said that Qin Ze was not happy, this other person has only one head, could it be that he Qin Ze has two?
"Others are afraid of losing their heads, and so are boys."
"Your Majesty said your head will be fine." Tang Jian sighed angrily and said.
Qin Ze dared to be so picky, if it was put on ordinary people, he would either accept it with trepidation, or directly apologize with death, who would talk to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty about conditions. But doesn't this illustrate Qin Ze's ability?
"Your Majesty has already sent down a decree, if this is done, you will be allowed to establish your own military medical department." After Tang Jian sighed, he added.
Qin Ze has not coveted the Military Medical Department for a day or two, but Li Er has been reluctant to let go. However, the eldest grandson comforted Qin Ze a few words and asked him to wait for some more time. Now it seems that the time has come.
Qin Ze must fight for this thing of the Military Medical Department, as a Marquis of Jingyang who has made a career with military merits, Qin Ze must not be idle.
He couldn't mix in the affairs of the army, so he had to find something else. And the Military Medical Department is the best choice, and this is the foundation of any dynasty. Therefore, as long as the academy can be established, then Qin Ze will have another gold medal for avoiding death.
The foundation of his Jingyang Marquis has been laid, and the next thing is to open the branches, and this military medical department is the first branch that Qin Ze is ready to open.
"In addition to this, I still have something to worry about Tang Gong." Qin Ze nodded, but said again.
Tang Jian frowned, he didn't know that Qin Ze was making trouble like that again. When Li Er came, he gave such a condition, if Qin Ze didn't know how to advance or retreat, he might have to displease the Sacred Heart again.
However, Tang Jian also knew that Qin Ze was not a person who didn't know the general situation, so he also asked patiently: "But what are the requirements, just talk about them together." ”
Qin Ze smiled, made tea for Tang Jian, and then said leisurely: "The kid wants some seeds." ”
"Seeds?" This time it was Tang Jian's turn to be inexplicable, he thought that Qin Ze would make some terrible requests, but he didn't want to ask for some seeds in the end. And what seed should be opened to His Majesty alone?
Qin Ze also saw Tang Jian's doubts, and hurriedly explained: "I heard that there are a lot of seeds of various colors piled up in the Ministry of Industry, and the kid wants to ask for some. It's a bit empty in this house, so it's better to plant some living creatures. ”
Tang Jian looked at Qin Ze, and seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he also shook his head and smiled bitterly at the moment: "It's okay, after all, he is still a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and planting seeds can be regarded as a suitable situation." It's just that although there are many kinds of seeds in the Ministry of Industry, not many can be grown. It's useless for you to ask for it, so why ask for it? ”
Anyone who hears that the marquis of a dignified country would open his mouth to His Majesty for some seeds will be as surprised as Tang Jian.
Qin Ze didn't want to, but he wanted to eat carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, shallots, eggplant, and cress......
These seeds can be found in the palace at one time, and the quality is also the best. As for the fact that he couldn't plant them, Qin Ze felt wronged for these seeds.
If he dug a pit in the ground and then threw a handful of seeds, which was also called planting vegetables, Qin Ze felt that it was already a gift from God to be able to grow them.
It's just that the words still can't be said too clearly, Qin Ze had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and say: "The kid has never had any big ambitions, and in the future, he will think about running a academy and planting crops and the like." ”
Qin Ze didn't say this wrong at all, but there were still a few sentences left unfinished. That is the academy he wants to run, if it is the highest university in the entire Tang Dynasty, and the land he cultivates must be the most prolific one!
Speaking of which, Tang Jian also understood, knowing that this was Qin Ze revealing his heart to His Majesty again. At the moment, he also nodded, which was considered to be accepted.
LunchThis meal Qin Ze naturally wanted to entertain Tang Jian, but now there is no servant among the Marquis of Jingyang. In the past, Qin Ze's meals were also done by Zhou Cheng, of course, don't expect to do it well, so from time to time Qin Ze will cook by himself.
And this time, in order to entertain Tang Jian, Qin Ze naturally had to cook in person.
The dignified Jingyang Hou came into contact with Ku Ding, and it is estimated that he is a laughing stock in Chang'an.
Nowadays, the lives of ordinary people in Datang have undergone earth-shaking changes, and soybean oil can be sold in oil shops.
As soybean oil flowed into the homes of the people, the craft of stir-frying also began to appear in the homes of the nobles of the major families. Those kitchen men who retired from the army, relying on a few small dishes learned from Qin Ze, were enough for them to establish themselves in the back kitchen of the family.
So Qin Ze personally entertained Tang Jian, and he naturally wouldn't say anything.
Don't expect to eat the salted fish that Tang Jian brought, and I don't know how long that thing has been left for long. Qin Ze is estimated to be able to use it to chop wood and gravel, how else to eat?
Tang Jian likes to eat fish tart, so Qin Ze specially cut a whole herring for him. A special sauce is poured over and the fillets are spread on ice cubes picked from outside. Not to mention, it really made Qin Ze feel familiar.
The old gentleman's favorite noodles are naturally indispensable, and Tang Jian came to the Jingyang Hou Mansion, so he could go up to entertain him.
On the meat, Qin Ze's favorite is pork, and the taste of this thing is not unique compared to mutton, after all, it has no unique taste, and it is easier to make.
Small stir-fried meat is naturally indispensable, and the boiled meat slices are full of numbness, and the steaming looks warm. The sweet and sour pork ribs are sticky and glutinous, sweet and salty, and the mouth is full of meaty aroma in one bite.
Stewed pork ribs with lotus root, a must-eat dish in winter, is naturally also to be made. The stewed Dongpo meat is naturally also there, fat but not greasy, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.
In addition, Qin Ze also deliberately made some pork and fish meatballs, without vegetables, with some mushrooms, which can be regarded as an authentic hot pot.
As for the glutinous rice balls specially made for Xiaoli, Qin Ze also deliberately added some minced meat. As for the vegetables, it was because there were only garlic leaves, so Qin Ze didn't add them to it.
The old gentleman and Tang Jian are together, so there is nothing else but drinking. And Tang Jian's amount of wine was not bad at all, the two of them were talking east and west, and by the time Qin Ze prepared the meal, they had already drunk most of the pot of lamb wine.
As Qin Ze thought, Tang Jian liked that plate of fish very much, whether it was the presentation or the sauce, it was the best Tang Jian had ever tasted. So he also ate most of that big plate.
The reason why he said that he ate most of it was not because Tang Jian couldn't eat it. It's because he deliberately kept it, saying that he wanted to take it back to his mother to taste.
He has said everything to this point, where can Qin Ze not understand. Hurriedly made a few more fish, and then made a few side dishes, all of which were put in the food box. In the end, it was handed over to the old slave who was following Tang Jian, and asked him to send it back to the mansion first.
Tang Jian saw all this, but he didn't say a word. But from his eyes, Qin Ze still saw relief.
Tang Jian, who let go of his belly, is very terrifying, don't look at his small figure, but he is not bad at all when he eats. Just like that, he and the old gentleman drank lamb wine, and ate everything.
And the biggest feature of Tang Jian's meals is that he never wastes it, even if it is a little soup on the plate, he will use rice to dip it clean. Therefore, the plates that Tang Jian has eaten are extremely clean, even to the point that they are cleaner than washing.
After eating enough, Tang Jian didn't stay any longer. He was helped away by the old slave, and before leaving, he also asked Qin Ze to prepare for the repair of Hongyi Palace as soon as possible.
Qin Ze still knows some of the means of keeping the nobles in Chang'an warm. The main thing is to smear the mashed peppercorns and mud on the walls to make a pepper room for warmth.
Then around the room hung a thick curtain to protect from the wind, the floor was covered with thick wool felt, a fire screen was set up, and a curtain was made of wild goose feathers. A few small red clay stoves were lit and the charcoal was crackling, which was enough to keep the house warm.
But these are not practical for Hongyi Palace, because it is so big. What Li Yuan wants is not a warm house to sleep in, he wants the entire palace to be warm.
Otherwise, the heads of those craftsmen would not have fallen off.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible to have a small stove, so it can only be repaired on the entire underground of the palace, and then some fireplaces, so that the warmth of the palace must also be guaranteed.
And it's not enough to just keep warm, Qin Ze also has to solve Li Yuan's entertainment life, because Li Yuan is blocking the gas with Li Er this time, so if he doesn't vent this anger, then this problem will still not be solved.
There is one thing that Tang Jian is not wrong, that is, this kind of tricky matter, and Qin Ze has this ability, otherwise whoever puts it on him, I am afraid that in the end, he will have to die to apologize!
