At dinner, an unexpected guest came to the Hou Mansion, Princess Qinghe came with nine-year-old Li Zhi.

Yesterday, when he left, Wang Xiang gave some gifts for Princess Qinghe to take back, in addition to fresh vegetables and cloud ears and two bags of potato chips, Princess Qinghe brought vegetables and cloud ears into the palace early this morning to honor Li Er.

Li Zhi was extremely curious about the hot pot mentioned by Princess Qinghe after tasting potato chips, and he had never heard of the kind of bubbling Coke, and it was Wang Zixin who made these things two days ago.

In the face of the future Emperor Gaozong, of course Wang Xiang did not dare to slack off, Laifu and Xiaoya naturally did not eat together this time, only Wang Xiang, Cheng Chuliang, Princess Qinghe and Li Zhi were at the banquet.

Although Li Zhi is still a nine-year-old ghost, he looks like a little adult under the strong royal education of Li Er's family, but he is still quite curious when he meets Wang Xiang, the owner of Yongxue Shi.

Li Zhi often listens to people tell interesting stories outside on weekdays, which young master today fights with others for the red face of Yicuilou, and which young lady eloped with a certain poor son tomorrow, among which the most heard name is Wang Xiang, but they are just some of his deeds.

Originally, I heard that Li Zhi, who was interested in his Jinguang Lake Poetry Conference, just regarded it as a joke, and told the counting poem to the eldest grandson queen as a joke.

Now that it looks closely, this prince is not as unbearable as rumored, he is a little thinner but still personable.

After drinking two bowls of Coke in a row, Li Zhi had a better impression of Wang Xiang, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It seems that the rumors can't be trusted, this prince is still good.

Cheng Chuliang is not very interested in cola, he is worried about fine wine, this guy does not know how to restrain himself in front of Li Zhi, and he remembered what Wang Xiang said about winemaking while drinking mutton.

"Zixin, how is the brewing thing you told me today?"

After this matter is settled, he will not worry about drinking, so he is quite concerned.

Wang Xiang smiled faintly and said: "It will take a few days for the brewing workshop to be completed, and Steward Wang has already asked people to brew those grains simply, and when the workshop is completed, the wine can be officially brewed." ”

"That's right." Wang Xiang took out a contract and continued: "This is the contract I just made, the brewing workshop is managed by our Hou Mansion, and we are also responsible for the sale of wine. ”

What is unsafe about this brewing workshop, Cheng Chuliang was a little embarrassed when he heard that he only needed to be responsible for the safety of the brewing workshop, and he could share thirty percent of the income without caring about anything else.

"It's not good that I don't have to do anything to divide it into three, in fact, I just need to have wine to drink."

"That's not good, the safety work of the brewing workshop can't be ignored, and Brother Liang should take 30%."

As soon as Li Zhi put a piece of blanched potato chips in his mouth, he heard Cheng Chuliang and Wang Xiang talking about winemaking, and sure enough, they were sisters and brothers, and the dignified Princess Qinghe and King Jin actually had a soft spot for potato chips.

"You also make wine?"

Hearing Li Zhi's question, Cheng Chuliang rushed and said: "Of course, this wine is not an ordinary wine, it is much more energetic than your coke, do you want to taste it?" ”

This product really had a fight with his father Cheng Biting Jinyou, and he actually dared to instigate nine-year-old Li Zhi to drink.

Princess Qinghe on the side quietly pulled Cheng Chuliang and said in a low voice: "My brother is still too young to drink." ”

"There's no reason why you can't drink alcohol, I can drink several bowls when I'm so old."

Li Zhi looked at the crystal clear wine in Cheng Chuliang's bowl and it was really quite different from the wine he usually saw, and he could smell the mellow and rich aroma of wine from a distance, and Cheng Chuliang was instigated by the goods on the side, and he was suddenly a little moved.

"Drink less...... It doesn't matter. Li Zhi also seemed to struggle a little in his heart, saying that he had never drunk alcohol.

Cheng Chuliang didn't say a word, took the bowl in front of Li Zhi and poured it full, and Li Zhi said in his mouth: "Enough, enough." ”

Cheng Chuliang said heartlessly after pouring the wine: "Men should drink when they eat hot pot, and Coke is something that women drink." ”

Li Zhixiao's face flushed, and when he looked at Princess Qinghe, he saw that she had an expression of looking at herself, and hesitated for a moment, but still took the wine bowl.

Eating hot pot is easy to bring up the atmosphere, especially after a few bites of the second pot head and belly, Li Zhi also let go, no longer as restrained as at the beginning, shabu shabu this shabu that, take a sip of wine from time to time, so comfortable, Princess Qinghe couldn't listen to the persuasion, and shouted that Coke is drunk by women, and men should drink.

Cheng Chuliang is a person who doesn't care about 3721 when he sees wine, Wang Xiang was also a person who was easy to get carried away when he drank in his previous life, and the atmosphere was not warm after drinking.

"I heard that this potato was purchased from a merchant in the Western Regions, I wonder if we can grow it in the Tang Dynasty?" Li Zhi preferred potato chips and asked.

At this time, Wang Xiang was already slightly drunk, and laughed when he heard this: "Of course you can plant, and as long as there is this thing, there will be no famine in my Tang Dynasty." ”

"Why is that?"

"Your Highness, do you know how much grain my Datang produces per mu?"

Li Zhi thought about what his master had told him about the people's livelihood that had mentioned the grain output of the Tang Dynasty, and replied: "Ordinary fields yield one stone per mu, and good fields in Guanzhong yield two to three stones per mu." ”

"Yes, then do you know how much this potato yields per mu?"

Li Zhi shook his head and said that he didn't know, even Princess Qinghe put down her chopsticks and looked at Wang Xiang curiously, the sentence that there will be no famine in Datang is too shocking.

Wang Xiang took a sip of wine and proudly raised two fingers.

"Two stones? Not bad. ”

Wang Xiang shook his head and smiled, "Twenty stones." ”

"What! Twenty stones? Princess Qinghe exclaimed, thinking that she had misheard.

Even Li Zhi was half awake after hearing this, and he looked incredulous.

"You just said twenty stones?"

Wang Xiang said with a smile: "Even if you plant it in a barren land, it will not be less than eight stones. ”

Eight stone is about 800 catties, it is a very conservative estimate, generally speaking, the yield of potatoes per mu is about 2,000 catties to 3,000 catties, if the fertile land is planted with fine care to reach the yield of 5,000 catties per mu is not difficult, and the yield of potatoes per mu often reaches 6,000 catties or even 8,000 catties when the potatoes are harvested in later generations.

Wang Xiang had a natural expression, but it was different for Li Zhi and Princess Qinghe, they had never heard of any kind of grain with such a terrible yield, not to mention twenty stones, even the yield of five stones and six stones per mu was mostly made up by some local officials for political achievements.

"Is that true?" Li Zhi is worthy of being Li Er's son, although he is only nine years old, he also realizes the importance of this matter.

After getting Wang Xiang's affirmation, Li Zhi and Princess Qinghe both took a deep breath, yielding twenty stones per mu, and they came so right today!

"In this way, this potato is really auspicious." Princess Qinghe still had a hint of disbelief in her tone.

Li Zhi nodded and said happily: "With this auspiciousness, there will be no famine in my Tang Dynasty from now on, and it is definitely not an empty talk!" ”

After learning about the amazing yield of potatoes, Li Zhi seemed to be very excited, and this excitement even made him drink more.

Erguotou is not a low-alcohol wine in the Tang Dynasty, and after a meal, no one is sober except for Princess Qinghe, and Cheng Chuliang has long been in a fog and doesn't know what to say. Wang Xiang was also in high spirits, today he was drinking with the future Emperor Gaozong, and it seemed that he had left a good impression, so he was naturally a little complacent in his heart. Although Li Zhi didn't drink too much, he was a little delirious at this time, but he hugged the two potatoes he asked for from Wang Xiang and muttered: "I want to dedicate this auspicious rui to my father." ”

……

There was a big incident in the palace, and Li Zhi, the most well-behaved and obedient King of Jin, was actually drunk, which was a big deal.

Li Er has always been very strict with his children, and when he heard that Li Zhi was drunk, he still couldn't believe it, and after confirming it repeatedly, he was immediately furious.

"Where did King Jin go today?"

"King Jin went to the Marquis of Linchuan Mansion with Princess Qinghe today."

"Marquis Linchuan's Mansion?" Li Shimin frowned.

A little eunuch below reminded in a low voice: "The fresh vegetables and cloud ears sent to the palace by Princess Qinghe are the new offerings of the prince of the Marquis of Lin Chuan's mansion. ”

Li Shimin remembered at once, and at dinner, he asked the imperial chef to make a few dishes of fresh vegetables sent by Princess Qinghe and ate them with the eldest grandson queen, and the taste of fresh vegetables in this season is really different, saying that yesterday I heard Li Zhi talk about the prince's new Yongxue poem, but the crime of instigating King Jin to drink is unforgivable!

"What about the Jin kings?"

As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, a eunuch trotted in and whispered, "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is here." ”

Li Shimin said angrily with a black face: "It's really a long skill, what do you do when you are drunk and don't have a good rest, do you come here to ask for sin!" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that there is auspiciousness to dedicate to His Majesty."

Li Shimin was even more angry when he heard this, it was not right to be drunk, and he was still thinking about using some auspicious rui to fool him, and Wang Xinzi had another crime in his heart.

"Father! Father! Li Zhi broke into the hall with a flushed face, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Shimin smelled a strong smell of wine.

"King Jin is happy drinking today?"

Li Zhi didn't notice Li Shimin's black face in a daze, and grinned: "Happy." ”

Li Shimin suppressed his anger and said lightly: "I heard that you have auspicious rui to dedicate to your father?" ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi took out two potatoes in his arms and smiled stupidly.

"Xiangrui, Xiangrui......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell asleep on the ground, and two ugly potatoes rolled to Li Shimin's feet.

Li Shimin slapped the dragon chair and said angrily: "Princess Xuanqinghe has entered the palace!" ”

As soon as the little eunuch heard this, he knew that Li Shimin must be extremely angry, otherwise Princess Xuanqinghe would not enter the palace at this time, and that prince was really miserable this time.
