Chapter 56: Fruit Fishing
"But, will the second son agree?" The old butler was a little skeptical, after all, they had said that they would take full control of the matter.
And Zhongli is not a good talker, when she is fierce, she doesn't even pay attention to Zhao Yiyan.
"She dares!" A fierce light flashed in Zhao Yiyan's eyes, but in fact, he had no bottom in his heart. But he didn't show anything on his face, "Go tell her." ”
The old housekeeper had no choice but to go to the Zhong family.
When he conveyed Zhao Yiyan's words, Zhongli said calmly: "Don't go." ”
Is she full and idle, why does Zhao Yiyan let her do whatever she wants, besides, if she wants the horses to run and don't let the horses eat grass, there is no pay for just working, she is not stupid.
The old butler's face froze, although he had already guessed that Zhongli was unwilling, but he didn't expect her to refuse so directly.
"Second son, the general is also a guard at the border pass, can't you give him some face?"
Zhongli was furious when he heard this, stared at the old butler and said, "Didn't you ask me to stay away from him at the beginning, and now you come to tell me this, what are you treating me?" ”
The old butler's face froze, so he had no choice but to stop talking and go back in silence.
When the old housekeeper conveyed Zhongli's words to Zhao Yiyan, Zhao Yiyan almost died of anger. This person is so ignorant that he dares to say that.
Looking at Zhao Yiyan's gloomy face, the old housekeeper had no choice but to stand aside and wait for Zhao Yiyan to dissipate his anger.
After a while, Zhao Yiyan relieved herself, "Forget it, if she doesn't want to, she will find someone else, and when she comes to the door in the future, no one will pay attention to her!" ”
Listening to Zhao Yiyan's words, the old housekeeper shook his head helplessly, how could he be like a child with a little temper. But he didn't dare to say this, if Zhao Yiyan was angry with him, it would be over, and his old bones couldn't withstand the toss.
What Zhao Yiyan thought, Zhongli didn't know.
At this time, Wang Qinglin came to report that the factory had been built, and the workers he had left behind could start work at any time.
This made Zhongli quite relieved, and after a while, she would be able to live in the glass house of her dreams.
"Steward Wang, have the workers' quarters been completed?" It is designed according to a modern factory, the workers' accommodation is near the factory, and there are special people to cook, they just need to work well.
"Second son, rest assured, everything is ready." Wang Qinglin said busily.
Zhongli nodded, "In that case, let's pick a date to start work." "Opening a factory is also a big deal, and she has to be cautious.
"The day has been chosen, tomorrow." Wang Qinglin has grown a lot more than before, and he has prepared many things in advance.
Zhongli nodded again, "Since you've decided, let's do it tomorrow." ”
In fact, she is not very picky about this, anyway, she made glass, and she also satisfied her extravagant expectations at the beginning.
She still likes the feeling of the modern window, which is not very safe, especially in the summer, when the clock bugs are everywhere.
"Yes." Steward Wang went down happily, he felt that he had helped Zhongli, and he also felt that his ability was improving.
Looking at the back of Steward Wang, Zhong Li suddenly thought that Zhong Liyu was about to die.
For girls, this is a very big festival, and it belongs to every girl. She didn't want her eldest sister to have regrets in her heart in the future.
But now they hide their identities and want to hold a banquet in an open and honest manner, which is simply impossible.
Zhongli sat in front of the desk, his whole body lying on the desk.
After thinking about it, Zhongli decided to discuss it with Zhong Liyu, after all, this was her concubine.
Walking to Zhong Liyu's room, Zhong Li found that Zhong Liyu was actually embroidering a purse!
Don't think about it, Zhong Li knew that Zhong Liyu was embroidering Wang Qingli, she deliberately stepped forward and asked, "Big brother, what are you doing here?" ”
The sudden sound frightened Zhong Liyu's hand, and the sharp tip of the needle pierced his finger, and the red blood suddenly came out.
"Second brother, what are you doing?" Zhong Liyu put his finger in his mouth and complained.
"I'm just here to see you." Zhongli shrugged innocently.
"You!" Zhong Liyu couldn't do anything about Zhong Li more and more, but she said that she couldn't talk about her, and she couldn't fight even more, so she could only sulk by herself.
Looking at the angry Zhong Liyu, Zhong Li sighed and said, "Big brother, your time is about to arrive, what are you going to do?" ”
At the mention of this, a trace of loneliness flashed on Zhong Liyu's face, and then he shook his head and said, "We are incognito now, so let's keep everything simple." But there was a clear flash of longing in her eyes.
Zhong Li saw Zhong Liyu's eagerness in his eyes, stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you a unique banquet." ”
Leaving Zhong Liyu's room, Zhong Li kept thinking about how to do something different.
After thinking about it for a while, she didn't come up with a reason.
But there are still many months left in this matter, and she is not in a hurry, so she can't think of it and put it aside.
……
When the emperor received Zhao Zijian's recital, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he immediately issued a holy decree and began to distribute this kind of quyuan plough throughout the country.
When the people used it, they were full of praise for the Quyuan plow.
The county officials of various counties and cities have reported and praised this kind of curved plow, but this is also a later story.
It's just that most of Zhao Zijian's twists and turns are written about the functions of this Quyuan plough and the convenience it can bring to the people, but there are very few things involved in Zhao Yiyan, and the maker of the Quyuan plough is only summarized in a few simple strokes.
For example, this Quyuan plough was originally developed by a craftsman of a villager, and was later discovered by Zhao Yiyan, so it was reported to the imperial court.
However, he was busy with government affairs and soon forgot about it.
At this time, it was already more than half a month later, and the fruit that Zhao Zijian promised to bring to Zhongli was finally delivered to Zhongli's house.
As soon as she opened the box, she was stunned by the fruits inside, there were actually strawberries, mango grapes, and most importantly, she also saw lychees and dragon fruits.
"How's that, do you have a favorite?" Zhao Zijian stood behind the box and looked at Zhong Lidao with a shocked face.
It was the first time he had seen such a shocked look on Zhongli's face.
"Yes, it's really a person from the capital, and as soon as he made a move, he saw the rich and wealthy background." Zhongli picked up a strawberry and looked at it, and asked, "Where did you get this strawberry?" "After all, this thing is easy to break, and it can't be kept for long.
"Fanbang tribute, my mother likes to eat this thing, so she left some seeds, let people serve them carefully, and every time this season, a few can also be produced."
Zhongli's eyes lit up, and he stared at Zhao Zijian with burning eyes and said, "That, can you have a reluctant request?" Give me a pot of this seed? ”
God knows how happy she was, after all, this thing is hard to find, but I didn't expect to be really met by her, this is her favorite thing.
As long as she grows strawberries vigorously, she will be able to make strawberry milkshakes in the future.
Zhao Zijian stared at Zhongli, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then said, "I did bring a pot here, but I can't hide it, this thing is extremely difficult to preserve." ”
The strawberries were sent with the roots, otherwise they wouldn't have been preserved so well and so fresh.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao." Zhongli hurriedly gave up his hand. She originally thought that Zhao Zijian was just sending her fruits, but she didn't expect that she even had seeds.
"You're welcome." Zhao Zijian hurriedly ordered someone to bring strawberry seeds to the yard.
When Zhongli really saw the strawberries in front of her, she felt that she was right to befriend Zhao Zijian.
Putting the strawberry carefully on the table, she stood up and said, "Since Brother Zhao is so generous, then today I will invite Brother Zhao to eat something different!" ”
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Zhao Zijian was also curious about what else Zhongli could do.
I saw that Zhongli ordered someone to bring some yogurt and cream to the restaurant in Huibafang, and washed the various fruits in the box into blocks, and finally put them together in the ice cellar. After waiting for a while, Zhongli got all these things out and mixed them all, and finally poured cream yogurt, and a cup of fruit was done.
However, the container for holding the fruit is not very satisfied, and now the tableware of ordinary people is mainly porcelain and wood, and some people even use bamboo to serve rice.
Seeing Zhongli silent, Zhao Zijian salivated and stared at the plate of fruit that looked very delicious: "Is there any problem?" ”
"There's a problem, there's a big problem." Zhongli came back to her senses, and it happened that her glass factory had already started, and it was time for them to try to make a few glass cups.
She didn't care about eating the fruit, so she turned around and went to the room to find paper and pen, drew a drawing of the glass, and then called the little maid and asked the little maid to send the drawings to Wang Qinglin's hands. At the same time, let the little guy bring a message to the king steward, and ask him to hand over the drawing to the workers, and let the workers make the things on the drawings.
After doing this, Zhongli returned to the living room and saw that Zhao Zijian was still sitting there.
Only then did she realize that she had left others dry for so long, so she hurriedly stepped forward and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm a person who thinks of a play." ”
"Brother Zhong doesn't have to be polite, I just want to ask, can this thing be eaten?" He'd been sitting here for so long, and the smell of all kinds of fruit and yogurt made him almost unbearable.
But the royal tutor has always been excellent, and he will never do it himself without the master's consent.
"Absolutely." Zhongli hurriedly found a few big bowls, and first served a bowl to Zhao Zijian and put it in front of him, "Zhao Gongzi helped me get these fruits from the capital, so you should taste them first." ”
Zhao Zijian nodded, "Then I'm welcome." ”
He picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of strawberry and put it in his mouth. Because of Zhongli's departure just now, the taste of fruit and milk have blended perfectly, and the mouth is full of the sweetness of strawberries and the smoothness of milk.
After taking a bite, Zhao Zijian couldn't stop anymore, he unceremoniously took the bowl and quickly ate a bowl of fruit.
"How?" After Zhongli saw this bowl, he didn't have much appetite, after all, many things still needed to be decorated. And she noticed that Zhao Zijian used chopsticks when he ate water ghosts just now, but after the fruit is soaked in milk, it will become very slippery, and it is a little inconvenient to use chopsticks at this time, so she needs to prepare a few forks.
Of course, a fork is easier than a cup.
