Chapter 64: A Little Try
Wei Tang has always stayed away from the kitchen, and he doesn't understand these things at all.
Seeing that Yuan Bao'er almost didn't put the rice grains in her eyes, she couldn't help but pull her hand away.
Yuan Bao'er came back to her senses and put the rice back in the rice bag.
"It's Gongmi."
She whispered.
Wei Tang subconsciously denied it.
Yuan Bao'er explained to him the difference between Xiagong rice and rice from other regions of the Qing Dynasty very professionally, and then said: "I want to go again tomorrow." ”
If there is rice there, there must be one that has not yet been licked, and if you pick it carefully, maybe you can pick some out to make seeds.
"No," Wei Tang denied, "I'll start measuring tomorrow." ”
Yuan Bao'er was silent, didn't choke with him, just scooped some rice out, called a man, and asked him to boil it into porridge, and come over with mutton and Hu cakes.
The guy looked at Nami with a slight strange look and left with the tea bowl.
Yuan Bao'er was not in a hurry, just waited.
After about a stick of incense, the man brought porridge and mutton cakes and a few side dishes.
Yuan Bao'er motioned for Wei Tang to sit down, and the two sat opposite each other to eat.
The porridge sent by the guy was very thick, and the rice oil was also very thick, and when you drank it in your mouth, it really warmed your stomach.
Yuan Bao'er bit the elastic rice grains, and watched Wei Tangxili snoring and eating quickly.
After he finished eating, he said, "How does it taste?" ”
"It's worth the money," although it is boiled and lacks heat, the rice is indeed excellent, enough to make up for the shortage, even if it is more expensive, it is worth it, although Wei Tang is reluctant, he still gave a pertinent evaluation.
Yuan Bao'er smiled, "The reason why tribute rice can be enjoyed by the royal family is because the yield is very small, and the second is that it has a unique taste, which is not comparable to other japonica rice." ”
"But because of this, its price is extremely high, not to mention ordinary people, even high-ranking officials can't enjoy it."
Wei Tang didn't bother to think when he was full.
He leaned back in his chair and looked at her lazily.
Yuan Bao'er said: "I am researching mixed breeding, and I have not found this kind of seed yet. ”
Wei Tang squinted at her and was silent.
Yuan Bao'er said again: "I know that I will do an errand early tomorrow morning, but as long as I go out early, go to the grain store first, it will only take half an hour to come and go, and then I will go to look for you, so the business will not be delayed, isn't it just right?" ”
"Not good," Wei said slowly.
This girl is originally a master who can lose herself if she doesn't pay attention, and the road in the field, even he is not familiar with it, how can she rest assured that she will walk alone.
And Zhou Chengru has identified Yuan Baoer as the main business, if he is not there, some things are not very easy to do.
Yuan Bao'er refused when she saw that he didn't want to think about it, she was a little unhappy, she felt that this would not delay her business, and it was very unreasonable for Wei Tang to stop her one after another.
But before she went out, she was told by her grandfather again and again, even if she was psychologically dissatisfied, she could only obey.
Wei Tang propped up the armrest of his chair and went outside, "We will leave at dawn tomorrow, and you are not allowed to walk around." ”
After he finished the warning, he went back to the house, leaving Yuan Bao'er alone to get angry.
The next day, just after dawn, Wei Tang really came to knock on the door.
Yuan Bao'er didn't sleep soundly, and opened her eyes when she heard the sound.
"I'm up," she said, turning out of bed, putting on her coat, washing her face and pulling her hair up, and opening the door.
Wei Tang glanced at her and went downstairs.
The messengers have also gotten up and are eating in the lobby.
When he saw the two of them coming down, he sent people to get up and say hello.
Wei Tang nodded and ordered the men to bring the food.
Yuan Bao'er sat down with him, and when the guy served the sweet syrup and Hu cakes, he ate with his head bored.
Wei Tang ate very fast as usual, and when he saw that Yuan Bao'er only ate half of it, he sat there and waited.
Yuan Bao'er thought that he was impatient, and didn't want to say a word until she finished eating a whole Hu Cake.
This is very inconsistent with Wei Tang's character, Yuan Bao'er looked at him a little uncomfortably.
Wei Tang seemed to be aware of it, and said slowly: "If you don't eat, let's go." ”
When Yuan Bao'er heard this, she hurriedly took two Hu Biscuits, and beckoned the guy to pack the rest of the Hu Biscuits in the store.
Wei Tang stared at her speechlessly, "Have you finished eating?" ”
Yuan Bao'er hugged the bowl and sweet syrup, blinking with big eyes.
The man wrapped the bread and brought it to him.
Seeing that Wei Tang turned a blind eye, the guy was a little confused.
Yuan Bao'er asked him to send it to the car and ordered it to be recorded in the account.
The guy went to see Wei Tang, and when he saw that he had no objection, he replied loudly.
Soon everyone went straight to the palace.
Han Ling was there to greet everyone, "My lord has important business, and I have to go to Linxian in person, because I was too anxious, I didn't have time to say goodbye to the two Langjun, so I was entrusted to accompany you to investigate." If you have anything, just ask in detail, Han knows everything. ”
Yuan Bao'er got out of the car, greeted Han Ling, and politely invited him to ride with him.
When the frame came out, the family crest had been removed, and it looked very ordinary.
No, Cheng Li is old and doesn't like to curl up, Zhang Dalang didn't want him to be wronged, so he repaired it in private, and the space inside was enough to sit two or three people.
Although Han Ling can ride a horse, he is a humble literati in the end, and he doesn't like wind and dust, especially the dust between the ridges is even more flying, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
Yuan Bao'er smiled and invited him in, and the corners of Wei Tang's mouth pulled slightly, and he also followed.
Yuan Bao'er glanced at him and followed last.
Zhang Dalang waited for Yuan Bao'er to sit down and whipped forward.
There is still some distance from the county government to the place where I plan to measure today.
Yuan Baoer saw that the three of them were sitting opposite each other, which was very boring, so she proposed to talk about a game.
Yuan Bao'er and Wei Tang are both students of the academy, so they will not be ignorant of these.
Han Ling subconsciously felt that the two were familiar with each other, and it was impossible to leave him alone, so Yuan Bao'er took out the chess box and automatically took one of the boxes.
Wei Tang raised his eyebrows, crossed Yuan Bao'er and took another box, picked up a few chess pieces, and clenched his fist in front of Han Ling.
"Double," Han Ling replied.
Wei Tang stretched out his hand, and a sunspot lay quietly in the palm of his hand.
Han Ling smiled, "Yuan Langjun first, please." ”
Wei Tang twisted the chess piece and fell directly.
Han Ling followed.
Yuan Bao'er looked at it for a while, and saw that she couldn't tell the winner for a while, so she retreated to a slightly backward position and dragged out the small stove and tea bottles.
Before coming, Cuixin had prepared a lot of things, including water and tea charcoal.
Yuan Baoer slowly lit the charcoal, put the tea bottle, and cooked the tea with the crackling sound of falling children.
After a while, the water in the teapot boiled, and she picked it up and flushed three lamps, and put them on the table in turn.
It just so happened that Wei Tang ate a small dragon from Han Ling, and he proudly picked up the tea cup and sipped it slowly.
As soon as the tea soup entered his throat, he glanced at Yuan Bao'er.
Although it was unremarkable, Yuan Bao'er consciously saw surprise in his eyes.
Yuan Bao'er's expression was natural, and she was secretly happy in her heart.
I didn't expect it, this lady has a lot of skills.
Wei Tang took two more sips before putting down the teacup.
Han Ling pondered for a long time before he smelled the fragrance of tea.
He picked it up, took a sip, and looked at Yuan Bao'er in amazement, "Wei Langjun's craftsmanship is exquisite. ”
Yuan Baoer said modestly: "I brew a lot for the elders on weekdays, and I know some small skills, but I can't talk about exquisiteness." ”
