Chapter 58: Sprouts
Empress Eldest Sun thought about how to send someone to find the Water Cloud Palace.
As for Fan Jingjing, she didn't think that a girl of about fifteen could understand much.
As the queen of the Tang Dynasty, she can see too much, however, she doesn't know as much as Fan Jingjing, so she can only say that she has learned more partially. Her mountain gate is also quite special, such a mountain gate based on agriculture and celestial phenomena should not be allowed to be independent of the rule of the mountain gate.
The rule of the Tang Dynasty, so far, is not comprehensive enough.
At least, there are too many mountainous areas, large rivers, deserts, and large lakes, which are not yet able for them to penetrate.
It may be possible, but the cost is too high, and they have to wonder if it is necessary to go in.
Where is Shuiyun Palace, it is best to ask Fan Jingjing, but Empress Changsun has an intuition, Fan Jingjing will not say.
"Only the lake where she appeared can only be investigated. Fortunately, Niu Peiling is quite good at talking. Let Cheng Qian and Li's people, when they go to find Yingxiu, just investigate by the way. ”
So the eldest grandson queen began to lure the two children to play in the Niu family manor.
"You don't have to play in the royal manor all the time, the big lake of the Niu family manor, the scenery is not counted, you can go and experiment with pedal boats......"
However, the two children obviously still have something to say, and they feel that the two of them are talking about serious things again, and the eldest grandson queen brings the topic to "play", which is a bit disrespectful to them.
"By the way, mother, my sister still wants to go to the wasteland. She said that the land she is cultivating now is the royal land, and there will be output when the time comes, whether it is hers or royal, she is unstable in her heart, you must know that her seeds are all brought out from the Shuiyun Palace, and she usually can't see it at all when she is outside.
So my sister wants to take our men to reclaim the wasteland, and take these as a reward for her teaching us.
My sister is really stingy. There is also a fee for teaching. ”
"Teaching? Yes, it's a good idea, Cheng Qian has his own teacher. Although Lizhi learns a little in the Royal Academy, it is okay to hire another teacher.
If she has real learning, it is okay to invite her to teach in the palace. ”
"Mother, you can test Sister Jingjing! The content she teaches is so mysterious and interesting, I want to learn. Li Lizhi took the hand of the eldest grandson queen and shook it hard.
"Mother, I also want to listen." Li Chengqian knew that his teacher could only be a learned Confucian, and Fan Jingjing was not much older than him, and he had some other thoughts about her in his heart, so he didn't want to recognize Fan Jingjing as a teacher.
But he didn't want to give up the opportunity to get close to Fan Jingjing.
As for the relationship between Niu Shijin and Fan Jingjing, he has already figured it out, which can be regarded as a misunderstanding.
The Li family has the blood of the Hu people, and they don't attach so much importance to the woman's first night.
What's more, Fan Jingjing lost her first night, and it was not under her will.
In other words, she doesn't have any feelings for Niu Shijin.
But now although the two live together in one room, Li Chengqian has a sense of crisis.
If the two have a relationship, his careful thoughts will be in vain.
He believes that Fan Jingjing will have a lot of knowledge that is beneficial to Datang, and he should keep such a woman by his side to help him govern Datang.
What's more, Fan Jingjing is the most temperamental woman he has ever seen in his life, except for the eldest grandson queen.
Even when she mixed the seeds with the soil with a basket, she didn't feel a little embarrassed.
He liked her smile even more, and the way she was commanding to them.
It seems that every time she asks someone to do something, she is a little dissatisfied, and sometimes, whether to teach others or not, she has to think about it for a long time.
But in order to get the job done as soon as possible, she still taught others more efficient ways to do things.
She always seemed to feel that something was missing in her heart.
If she came to the royal family, he would be able to use the power of the young eunuch to make these farm tools and use them for her.
As for the weapon, it is estimated that she will not want it, and the harem has no power to use it.
"Okay, I'll have her called." Empress Eldest Sun did not object to the opinion of a pair of children.
Good advice, she has always been willing to accept it.
"By the way, she asked people to go over to help with reclamation, but the royal manor itself is relatively fertile soil, and it is also located in a ripe field, relatively close to the area of Chang'an, so there is nothing to reclaim nearby, right?"
"The place she cultivated was not flat land, but at the foot of the mountain, and there were many pheasants, ducks, and hares, and she was going to catch some of them first, and then raise some of them.
She said that she brought a lot of seeds, but there were few living animals, and a farm with no livestock, what is it called a farm.
Mother, I see that many farmers don't seem to have the habit of raising poultry and livestock. Even if there are raising, there are only a few of them.
Now she has allocated twenty to Lizhi and Yingxiu, saying that eating meat and eggs when they grow up can improve the growth of nails. ”
"Close to the mountains? Aren't there tigers and bears out there? You didn't tell her? ”
Empress Eldest Sun frowned.
Near the mountains, there are many wild beasts, which will come out to hunt at any time, and if they plant any crops, they will be trampled on, and if they raise any livestock, most of them will be bitten to death.
There are also people who live relatively close to the mountains, and the children of the family are bitten away by wild wolves on the ridges.
Even though there are relatively few wild objects near Chang'an, the danger still exists.
"Okay, should we assign her some mouth fields last time, so that Fan Jingjing can plant with peace of mind?"
"That's right, Sister Jingjing is still fun, she doesn't know how to control fire at all, and in the end, she is Yingxiu's eldest brother who cooks it herself, but she resolutely Yingxiu's eldest brother must cook in her way, and she also went to the Chinese medicine store to buy some medicinal materials as seasonings, and the dishes made are so fragrant.
But if she cooks it herself, it will be completely burnt, and it will be really fun.
By the way, Sister Jingjing harvested some sprouts today, specially bought eggs, made salad dressing, and then specially made a dish called salad.
It's hard to imagine that this dish is made without a fire at all, and the sprouts are raw.
But with the salad dressing, it's delicious.
Unfortunately, we asked her for sprouts, and she said that the sprouts she cultivated were gone, and we could grow them ourselves, and she taught us how to grow them.
But instead of giving us seeds this time, she asked us to find them ourselves.
She said that ordinary green leafy vegetables can grow sprouts. ”
"Grow sprouts from seeds. Every seed is precious, and it is too wasteful to eat it before it grows, right? We now have one seed, and we can only harvest twenty seeds when we plant them to maturity and grow, which is quite precious. Every time we grow vegetables, we have to leave a piece of land for planting.
It's the same with growing food. ”
"Mother, she said, the sprouts of wheat are also delicious, and the sprouts of millet can also be eaten, as long as it is a salad. The most expensive thing is not the sprouts, but the eggs and oil, and she still sucks, and in her place, the oil and eggs are the cheapest. ”
