Chapter 618: Road Encounter
Liu An cut beans according to Jiang Nuan's words, although he still stumbled, but it was much better than before.
However, in this way, the soybeans, which only had about one point, still took an hour.
Jiang Nuan was impatient to take back the sickle and cut it himself, but he was driven away by the excited Liu An.
Even if he has decided not to be a cabinet elder, his heart of worrying about the country and the people has not diminished in the slightest.
has been completely immersed in the beautiful imagination of the people of Dazhou who can afford to eat oil.
The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are good at farming, but they lack oil and water, and they have always been unable to compare with those alien races outside the border, and the disadvantages on the battlefield are very obvious.
He thought that this was destiny and something he couldn't change, but he didn't expect to see an opportunity today.
Even if he doesn't farm, he knows that soybeans can be grown in most parts of the country.
This thing is a good material for feeding war horses, and all kinds of livestock at home are also inseparable, and they can also grind tofu to eat.
But that's about it.
Da Zhou didn't pay attention to soybeans at all, the beany smell was too strong and not delicious, and the yield was very low.
With rice and wheat in the forefront, as well as corn and sorghum, soybeans are not so advantageous that they are easy to overlook.
Especially people like them who are in high positions but don't know grains, they are even more despised.
Liu An carefully flattened the bean stalks, picked up a hammer, and beat it gently, it was originally a matter of Xiaoliu walking a few back and forth, but he was forced to let him spend an afternoon, and no one was allowed to interfere.
The look of being like a treasure and eager to hold it was terrifying.
"You take it slowly, I'll see if the oil extraction equipment is done, and we'll start squeezing the oil after drying the soybeans with some moisture."
After speaking, Jiang Nuan left flutteringly.
The taste of sesame oil is particularly strong, and the animal oil is too greasy, and Jiang Nuan has long wanted to get soybean oil out.
There were too many unreasonable things to explain before, but now it is much more convenient to have the name of the immortal.
Suddenly found that the biggest advantage of being an immortal is the freedom under the power of the fox and the fake tiger.
You don't have to pick out those old and heavy colors when you wear clothes, you can also dress yourself up every day, and some people take the initiative to make good excuses without explaining all kinds of unreasonable things, and don't be too moisturized in life.
The god stick is good for the god stick seconds, and the days of the god stick croak.
Two days later, Liu An stared intently at the oil tank, "It's oily, madam, it's really oily!" ”
It's not in vain that he has been busy with old bones for so long.
As he spoke, he carefully picked up the soybean oil in a clay pot.
About 30 catties of soybeans are squeezed out of more than 7 catties, which is almost enough for ordinary people to eat for two months, which is only a penny.
Suddenly, Liu An was excited, "Madam, the people can finally eat oil!" ”
Liu An is still not poor enough.
Farmers are not willing to eat oil at all, just wipe the pot with an oilcloth when stir-frying, and usually stew and cook vegetables, so that the oil is enough to eat for at least half a year, and instigate people to use it for a year.
"Don't get excited, there are many crops that can be squeezed for oil, this is just one, it is more suitable for popularization, and I will tell you something else later."
"And?"
"Peanuts, tea seeds and rape can be used, let's talk about these later, let the cook stir-fry some vegetables with soybean oil, let's taste the taste."
"Okay!"
The cook fried three dishes, Jiang Nuan tasted it a little, and the rest went into Liu An's stomach.
"Didn't you just finish a plate of dim sum?" Jiang Nuan wondered.
Is this guy gluttonous? The mouth has not stopped, and I can still eat a bowl of rice and three dishes, but my stomach has not changed.
Belch!
Liu An couldn't help but burp, "It's so delicious, the old man can't help it." ”
It's very fragrant, but not greasy, refreshing and refreshing, which makes people not eat enough, especially in line with his old man's appetite.
"You're not afraid to break your body."
"Don't be afraid," Liu An wiped his mouth and stood up, "Madam, you continue to be busy, and the old man sealed the soybean oil and sent it to the saint." ”
"For the saint?" Jiang Nuan questioned, "Why? ”
She tossed so much, just got such a little bit of oil, she didn't have enough to eat, but she had to send it to Ji Xuan.
Unwilling!
"Madam, rest assured, the old man will definitely give you credit."
Liu An, who was excited, didn't notice Jiang Nuan's emotions, and waved his hand happily to go out.
Jiang Nuan: ......
The soybean oil she tossed for so long was all cheap for Ji Xuan.
Perhaps, he shouldn't have asked Liu An to do this in the first place.
Forget it, she squeezed some more and ate it herself.
Liu An was extremely experienced in doing things, and sorted out all aspects clearly, so that people sent them over with a purse containing soybeans and five catties of soybean oil in a jar, and attached a book of nearly 10,000 words.
On the other side, Qi Yong was still in a hurry.
"Be careful, the contents of the box are given by the Holy Lord to the Lady Protector, they are extremely valuable, if there is a mistake, the miscellaneous family will want your life."
"Father-in-law, there's a post station in front, do you want to rest?"
On a May day, the noon sun made people's skin red, and no one wanted to rush under the scorching sun.
Qi Yong sat in the carriage, the ice cubes had turned into water, and they began to get hot, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded and agreed, "Go to the post station to rest for an hour and then set off." ”
Anyway, it's just a formality, so why bother yourself.
The post station in Henan Mansion was neat and spacious, and Qi Yong was just about to squint for a while, when he heard a noise outside.
"What's going on?" He frowned, "Xiaoyuanzi, you go out and have a look." ”
"Quick, pour a bucket of water and serve a bowl of mung bean soup, this little brother has a heat stroke."
"Carry the person to the shade of the tree," Yuan Yuan ordered in a deep voice after seeing the clothes of the visitor, "Take out the things in your arms and splash the water again, this is the brother of the Xunzi Battalion, don't do bad things with good intentions." ”
"The villain understands!"
After speaking, Yuanyuan was about to leave, and suddenly heard a voice.
"But Father-in-law Yuan beside Father-in-law Qi?"
"Hey, do you know the miscellaneous family?" The maruki are very novel.
He is Qi Yong's confidant, and he is also Ji Xuan's personal eunuch, but he only serves in the imperial study, and few people know him.
"My subordinates are fortunate enough to meet a few times."
Hearing this, Yuanyuan immediately understood, "Let's go back to the room, it's not okay." ”
I thought it was just an ordinary messenger, but I didn't expect it to be a secret guard.
Yuanyuan took the person back and briefly told Qi Yong about the matter.
"From the Xunzi Battalion, by Liu Ge's side?"
"Yes."
"Old man Liu is sick?" Qi Yong looked at the embarrassed messenger and sighed twice, "Do you need to rush eight hundred miles to hand over your resignation?" ”
"The resignation has nothing to do with my subordinates, I have already sent it to the capital, and my subordinates have other important matters, how can I bear to be in good health, and I hope that Father-in-law Qi will send someone else to deliver the letter."
Hearing this, Qi Yong became serious, "Can it be related to Mrs. Protector?" ”
The messenger didn't speak, bowed his head and acquiesced.
These people directly obey the orders of the saint, and occasionally obey Qi Yong's dispatch, but they still can't say what they shouldn't say.
"You go to rest first," Qi Yong waved his hand, "The miscellaneous family will arrange for someone to send it over and bring the things over." ”
"The subordinates retired."
The messenger was also very helpless, the person who connected was at the next station, but he was not angry.
------Off topic------
I think back then, my mother was so picky, her hands shook and poured out a little more oil, and she was asked to eat a pancake for a long time, but now that I think about it, I suspect that my eyes are green~
