Chapter 118: Garlic

Lu Qingjin returned to the palace with the hot sun at noon, and Xiao Ling complained softly while playing a fan; "Seeing that it's going to be autumn, why is it still so hot."

Lu Qingjin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly; "It'll be fine in the next few days, and besides, the rice we planted depends on these few days, and it can grow well in hot weather."

Outside the door, Concubine Li's voice came; "It's so early for Niangniang to come back, and a few of us have said that the victims are not alive, it seems that it has been almost arranged."

A few people walked to the table and couldn't stop fanning the fan, Xiao Ling saw this and quickly brought up the watermelon that had been frozen in the well water, Lu Qingjin reached out and took a piece and said while eating; "How can there be, those victims can only be regarded as temporarily stable, I suspect that there is someone behind the trouble, it will be a bad arrangement for a while, so I can only plant it alive, and wait for a batch of food to come down."

Concubine Shu said while fanning her fan: "Now the most restless person in the capital is Zhao Yunheng, you should have heard the news, he blatantly arranged to blow up the Shengshi Pavilion!" ”

Lu Qingjin said lazily; "I've heard the news, hasn't it been handed over to the general, I don't think it's a surprise."

Concubine Li nodded: "This matter is not to worry about, but the apology sent by Zhao Yunheng is a bit problematic, there is one thing we don't know, do you want to take a look." ”

Lu Qingjin sat up straight; "It's interesting, you can take it and see what you can eat."

Concubine Yun sighed and teased; "Don't you just think about eating, there is still a lot of gold in the apology he sent, but it looks strange, we all think that King Wei's money is strange."

Lu Qingjin took the box and looked over, only to see a few white things lying round under the box, she smelled it a little incredulously and suddenly laughed; "Originally, I thought it was just an ordinary thing, unlike the prince of Wei Wang Shizi who helped a lot, this is a good thing, and the gourd we found today can comfort the victims for a long time."

Concubine Shu leaned over and shook her head in confusion: "This thing is really incredible, I don't look like it can be eaten, is it possible that boiling it with water can change its appearance." ”

Lu Qingjin carefully took out a head of garlic and removed the skin, and a spicy smell slowly flowed out, different from the pungent smell of chili peppers, its spicy taste was more of a fresh feeling, Concubine Xian swallowed her saliva and said: "Although this smell is quite strange, it feels quite fragrant." ”

Lu Qingjin rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen; "I happen to have garlic today, so I'll cook a dish of oily noodles for you, this is my favorite food."

A few people looked at his back and hesitated for a while but followed, the palace maid in the kitchen was used to the behavior of her own lady coming over every three or five days, and after seeing a few people, she began to prepare various ingredients with interest.

After a while, with a loud sound of oil flowers, the kitchen emitted a strange fragrance, and several concubines entered the hall with their own bowls, and Concubine Yun did not raise her head to eat and said vaguely; "Your noodles are so delicious, you can make a bowl for the emperor tomorrow, otherwise he is afraid that he will trouble us again."

Hearing this, several other people hurriedly stopped and looked straight at Lu Qingjin. Obviously, he was apprehensive about Qin Zhao's appearance when he went crazy, and Lu Qingjin smiled; "You don't have to worry, I've already sent a copy of this noodles to the imperial study, you can eat it with confidence, and I'll tell you about this garlic after eating."

There was no sound in the hall for a while, and after a while, a few people touched their round belly and sighed, Lu Qingjin was also a little tired and squinted his eyes and said: "There is indeed a lot of garlic in this box, if you like it, take one back, as long as you peel the garlic cloves and plant them in the soil, they will grow soon." ”

Concubine Yun said while fanning: "I really don't know how Zhao Yunheng found it, I asked the merchants in the Western Regions, it is said that they don't have any strange plants there, this is another valuable object." ”

Lu Qingjin nodded and said in a daze; "No, when we grow it, we can sell it to the people of the Western Regions at a high price, who will let them not grow anything there."

Several people themselves were also a little sleepy, seeing Lu Qingjin leave quietly like this, Lu Qingjin felt that she had slept in a daze for a while and suddenly felt a cool breeze, she woke up with a stir, Qin Zhao was looking at her with a smile.

Lu Qingjin pursed his lips and sighed; "What are you doing here, squatting here on a hot day and not afraid of heat stroke?"

Qin Zhao said while finding a stool to sit down; "Isn't this the blessing of the bowl of oily noodles that you sent, I am entrusted by someone to come here now."

Lu Qingjin sneered; "Those ministers are also really interesting, when I usually see me, I don't say that I look down on my eyebrows and cold eyes, but at this time, I am willing to put down my face for a bite to eat."

Qin Zhao took a sip of tea and said with a smile; "You when they're just for a bite to eat? What people want is the practice of pouring noodles with oil, you must know that now Dayu is very poor, and who has no business among the ministers in the court. ”

Lu Qingjin stretched his waist and said unhurriedly; "That's even better, anyway, the garlic used to make oily noodles is a new discovery, not to mention business, even if they really want to eat it, they will wait for my Shengshi Pavilion."

Qin Zhao didn't think about what he could get out of here, and he didn't plan to try his best to please those ministers, so he didn't mention it at the moment, Lu Qingjin glanced at him suspiciously; "I thought you were going to win."

Qin Zhao did not answer and changed the subject; "You also know about the charity matter, Zhang Dequan has been disposed of at present, ask the maid next to you when you are free, I think the palace should be cleared."

Lu Qingjin nodded thoughtfully; "Is Zhang Dequan already dead?"

Qin Zhao glanced at her and smiled; "You don't still think that he helped you, I advise you not to be sentimental, he is just following the orders of charity.

Lu Qingjin smiled meaninglessly; "That's also the power of the emperor to charity, you don't have any scruples at this time, I guess Zhang Dequan is not dead at all."

Qin Zhao didn't care about her attitude, took a sip of tea and said, "Of course, if he dies, I'm afraid charity will really be uneasy." ”

Lu Qingjin shook his head and smiled helplessly: "You are real, but it's better to be careful, I saw charity some time ago, and I feel that he has gone crazy, who knows what he can do." ”
