"Yao, your small yard is very good."

Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, was dressed in a light moonlight rhombic checkered round-necked shirt, covered with a stone blue robe, wearing a hard tire black gauze hat, and a warm color on his face, which matched his name.

In the second half of the evaluation, he looked at the queen Meng Shi beside him and said: "The courtiers have breakfast here, and there should be no risk of crowding food stalls and sweeping the floor." ”

The smile in Meng's eyes was also shallow, but it was by no means a simple etiquette reaction.

This queen, at the moment, is hot and fluffy.

Three days ago, the husband of the Son of Heaven sent the head of the Funing Palace to serve the emperor, and came to the Kunning Hall where the Meng family lived to pass the message, and the emperor and queen will take the golden chariot together on the day of Laba, and inspect several Futian Courtyards and Salesian Bureaus in Kaifeng City to inspect whether the Kaifeng Mansion is diligent in government, and properly shelter and settle the homeless old and young people in the cold winter.

For more than a year, the Meng family usually had only two opportunities to stand side by side with the official family, one was to invite the high-ranking Zhao family clan relatives in the inner garden, and the other was to invite the Empress Dowager and Concubine Zhu to peace.

No matter what kind of occasion, when her husband is by her side, he is more like a stone statue or an iceberg, whether it is strict or indifferent, in short, there is no temperature.

Since Princess Fuqing fell to the ground, the official family no longer likes this eldest daughter whose eyebrows and eyes are carved out of the same mold as herself, and she has never stayed in the queen's Kunning Palace.

It has not been a private skin-to-skin blind date for too long, and he is as distant as the end of the world in public, and after Meng Shi boarded the golden chariot with the official family today, he was even surrounded by a strange strange emotion.

Even the carriage of the Son of Heaven was not too spacious, and Meng Shi felt that the young man opposite was too close, and he had already entered the nervous distance of teaching a woman.

Fortunately, her daughter Princess Fuqing looked at the street market scene of Kaifeng City all the way?

Asked Zhao Xu in a milky voice?

Zhao Xu, like all fathers in the world who dote on their daughters, answered lovingly and patiently?

This somewhat made Meng's discomfort disappear a lot.

Perhaps, perceiving Meng's crampedness?

When Zhao Xu arrived at the first Futian Courtyard in Lushu (referring to the honor guard of the Son of Heaven), he took the initiative to reach out and help his wife out of the car.

Meng Shi's hand shook slightly.

But how many times did you get on and off the bus after that?

Her hands never shook anymore.

Get used to your husband's skin-to-skin touch again?

That's nice.

She guessed?

The husband suddenly gave warmth to himself in the wax moon, which was probably related to the successful birth of a prince by Concubine Liu Guifei.

This is the first son of the official family and the eldest son of the seventh son of heaven in the Great Song Dynasty. This child was born in the night at an auspicious time, and weighed seven pounds?

It is said that the cry was so loud that even the Hanlin scholars who stayed in the outer courtyard could hear it.

The dynasty was so happy?

From the queen mother's concubine to the courtiers of the foreign court, while congratulating, they will also express the meaning of the virtue of the middle palace, taking care of the concubines, and making the emperor's heirs succeed, which may make the young officials look at the queen?

I can be gentle.

After visiting the last Futian Courtyard, I drove to the vicinity of East Street and saw a lot of mansions or stores in Shi Laba Porridge?

The mood of the official family is better.

"Duke Su took my pen and ink to be a drinking shop for the imperial court to commend the people's disaster relief?

Just ahead. The shopkeeper lady is the Yao family, who has made flavorful side dishes in the imperial chef of the palace at the behest of the Queen Mother. Listen to the imperial history?

Can't enter the courtiers waiting for the court?

Many of them had breakfast at her house. Walk?

Let's see what Yao's Hu Dou drink tastes like. ”

When Zhao Xu said this, he paused, and actually showed a bit of kindness and ridicule: "Speaking of which, you and I, husband and wife, should also thank others, she rushed up to block Liu Guifei, and you moved the chair away and finally didn't cause trouble." The eleventh brother was burned by the murderer of the lamp and candle bureau a while ago, and she used the novel method of applying fish skin to the wound, and the imperial doctor said that the effect was very good. ”

This proposal of her husband made Empress Meng like a person who had always been held underwater, and finally had the opportunity to stick her head out of the lake and take a breath freely.

Empress Meng believes that when the official family mentions the Yao family and the chair turmoil, he can be so relaxed and humorous, which shows that he does not blame me at all.

……

"The official family, the saint (the name of the queen in the Northern Song Dynasty), this is the Hu Dou drink 'Xinpake' named by Su Gong and given by the official family."

After Yao welcomed the car into the store, he used the coffee beans left over yesterday to cook a large pot of American-style Qingka, divided it into five or six building lamps, and served milk, dried lime, starch syrup, dried osmanthus, salted plum, and asked the emperor to taste every pairing.

Zhao Xu took a few sips and felt that the taste was indeed as passed down by the courtiers, and it had a different flavor than sencha.

"Hu people and customers are the most important business opportunities, why didn't they think of doing this Hu bean business like trafficking spices?"

"Back to the official's house, this bean is boiled when it is green, and it must be skillfully added with condiments to be delicious, and the fan guest doesn't seem to have touched the door," Yao Huan pointed to the iron bucket of baked beans in the courtyard, "Of course, it is more appropriate to roast it over a charcoal fire and cook it." The concubine was also crooked, and she knew the wonder of baking beans, and with the help of Su Gong, she finally tried a good French style. ”

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "It turned out to be a unique secret recipe, so don't learn it carefully." ”

Yao Huan said sincerely: "That's okay, roasting beans to make drinks, if people think they are delicious and palatable, baking and cooking methods, just like the art of winemaking, will always spread." Wine has become a thing that everyone loves, even if it goes up to the main store like Fan Lou Yuxian Lou, down to the restaurant foot shop, it is sold everywhere, and the market merchants are still very profitable. ”

Zhao Xu smiled: "You can see it clearly." ”

Queen Meng on the side listened to this, and also secretly praised this little lady in the market for being open-minded, and then her heart moved, and asked Yao Huan: "When you deal with Fanke, have you asked, how to grow these beans?" ”

Yao Huan and Empress Meng met their eyes, and suddenly caught a hint of wisdom in her eyes.

But suddenly, Yao Huan realized that the idea he was hovering in his mind came out today, which can be said to be a godsend.

"Hui sage, the folk woman did ask about this kind of bean must be well-ventilated, but warm all year round. The concubine rashly speculated that Lingnan might be able to plant this tree. ”

Meng Shi showed joy: "In other words, Northern Liao and Western Xia can't be planted?" ”

Wake up the dreamer with a word!

Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, who was sniffing the aroma of coffee, suddenly raised his head and stared at his wife.

Yao Huan pretended to be excited and didn't care about etiquette, and said bluntly: "If it is, I will introduce this bean tree in the Great Song Dynasty, and I will ...... For example, if it is planted in Huizhou, it is like growing tea in Zhejiang and Fujian, and then transporting it to the Liao-Song border in Rongchang......

Zhao Xu saw that she stopped talking, knowing that she thought of something in front of herself, the great Song Emperor, for fear of touching the scales.

Zhao Xu glanced at Empress Meng and said calmly to Yao Huan: "Since it was the queen who mentioned it, you don't have to tremble, Mrs. Yao. After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, my Great Song Dynasty paid the annual silver to the Liao State every year, and this is the case, there is nothing that cannot be said. I used to be a minister, Su Gong, who helped you bake Hu Beans, but he once calculated an account for me, saying that it was because the Liao people liked my Great Song Dynasty's silk, tea, and wine more and more. ”

When Yao Huan heard this, he said in his heart, yes, this will be called "trade surplus" in our later generations.

The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the trade war and get back the silver, of course, belong to the high-quality divergent idea of "being good at fighting and scheming, and then cutting off the relationship".

Isn't it much better than you being fooled by a militant like Zhang Dun into attacking the city in the northwest?

You must know that even a family of border generals like the Liu family, as well as my future father-in-law and the Privy Councillor, Tsengbu Zeng, do not approve of the practice of expanding the territory by force by blindly conquering cities and causing misery to the lives of people.
