Chapter 162: Inexplicable Conversation



After Kangxi laughed, he took a sip of tea and thought about it, "The fourth family, some time ago, the thirteenth told me that you had a question, a bowl of noodles was bought with nine lines, ten lines were sold, and then eleven lines were bought, and twelve lines were sold, and you asked him how much money he made?" ”

Su Li was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Yin, did she say this? It sounds familiar, but I can't remember it. Yin shook his head and cleared his throat, "That's what I said last time I said that I wanted to make a good hall." ”

Su Li remembered, how many years ago? At that time, the baby was not born yet, and now the baby is so big. Why does Lao Thirteen still take it out and say it? Could it be that there is never any old news in the royal family?

"Yes, how many years ago, how could the Thirteenth Master want to tell His Majesty this?"

"He said that he had been doing the math for all these years before he understood what you meant by what you told him back then." Kangxi laughed, twisting his beard to see Su Li's reaction.

Su Li thought about it sideways, the vegetable market sells vegetables will calculate the accounts, Thirteen has been calculated for so many years, his brain is not sick, right? However, with what he knows about him, isn't he introducing something new?

"What did the Thirteenth Master think?" Su Li smiled dryly.

"He said, after this question, you asked him and the fourth child whether the silver in the world is quantitative, whether the court earns more lines, and the people will have one less line." Kangxi thought about it and said, "You have this problem, he has been in business for so many years, and he exchanges money every day, and sure enough, as you said, the money is not as said in the book, we earn one more line, and the people will have one less line, on the contrary, we have one more line, but there are two lines on the market." ”

Su Li nodded, it's good to understand, the appreciation of money lies in circulation, and only by letting people spend money will it make money come alive. Thirteen is really not stupid. But I knew right away that I shouldn't have nodd. Death thirteen, it's good to know for yourself, and you have nothing to say and do. had to put on a smiling face, "The slave maid just said it in passing, and then forgot about it, the thirteenth master came up with so much by himself, but the slave didn't expect it." ”

"Come on. Don't pretend, I know you understand. I was afraid of things, so I didn't come forward for anything. Shantang is also, the fourth and thirteenth are afraid of things, only you insisted at that time, and the fourth child spoiled you, so he helped you and pulled the girls out to top the thunder. In fact, I'm still afraid of causing trouble, right? Thirteen later brought the charter back to me, thinking that Thirteen had made great progress. Later, I read the charter of the imperial dining room that you wrote, and I thought about it, and you wrote that charter as well. Haha, Thirteen said. You never asked about Shantang again, you insisted on doing it, but why didn't you ask later? ”

Now Su Li suspects that the old man is specially here to wait for him, and continues to pretend to be stupid? It's unlikely, if Kangxi hadn't identified it, how could he ask. But she was originally a three-minute heat, didn't she have a sense of national mission at that time? I feel that I have to do something for the country and the nation no matter what, otherwise I will not wear it in vain. But the more time passed, the more I felt that it was not like that at all. A Big 6 writer once said, "Hamlet's question is a question of life and death; The problem of the Chinese is how to give birth, how to give birth to a personal problem, and finally how to give birth to a problem like themselves. "I'm still in the stage of how to be born like a human, and it's good to figure myself out first. But can that be said? Su Li thought about it and shook her head.

"The slave just had money and had nowhere to spend it. So I wanted to use that money to do something useful. Unexpectedly, His Majesty and the Thirteenth Master took it later. and did not use the money of the slaves. What qualifications does the slave have to ask? Su Li found the simplest reason.

Kangxi burst out laughing again. He is even rich in the world. But they still don't dare to say that they have money and nowhere to spend. "Little girl. How much money can you have? ”

"Money is this thing. For people with useful land. It's not always enough; Like a slave. And there is nowhere to spend. So even if it's a small amount of money. The slave still felt that she had a lot of money. Su Li smiled.

"So to speak. All these years have passed. You don't care what happened to those kids? ”

"The slave believes in the Thirteenth Master. In fact, slaves and maids often have whimsical ideas. But if you really let yourself do it, you must be inferior to him. Su Li smiled. There is still a place for this self-knowledge. So she's very calm.

"You don't care about the fourth child either?" Kangxi looked at Yin.

"That ......" Yin was stunned for a moment, and laughed hehe, Yin looked a little embarrassed, but still looked a little helpless and said, "Son...... Forgot. ”

Kangxi shook his head with a smile and looked at Concubine De, "Look at it, it's clear that they mentioned it, none of them mattered, and none of them went to their hearts at all." ”

"The fourth said that he was an idler, but in fact, where was he idle, and he had never been perfunctory about the things assigned by the long live lord, but he didn't like to show his merits. How can I have time to focus on the little things? You also watched this girl all the way, the two children were brought by yourself, and you had to take care of the four children, and you had to come in to accompany the concubines when you had some time, by the way, you have to think of new recipes for the thirteenth, but I am afraid that among these daughters-in-law, she will be busy. Concubine De laughed and rolled her eyes, "What is happening to Shantang now, don't say it, the concubines have forgotten." ”

"Very good, in the past few years, there have been two people who have been admitted to the Jinshi, and several talents. Over the years, those children have learned some words and the law, and those villages have really become richer and richer over the years, and the security is also the best around. Thirteen Yuan didn't expect such a good result, and told me that the old four said that they should not take good as small and do not do evil. At that time, you said that you were very excited and very serious, and he didn't believe that he would succeed, but he thought, this is a good thing, even if it doesn't succeed, even if it is not successful, even if it is implemented in his own Zhuangzi. Tell me, what did you think at the time? ”

"The slave maid was a whimsical idea at that time, and all the thoughts were told to the thirteenth master at that time, and it was also clearly written in the plan that the slave and maid really hoped to succeed at that time, and they were just enthusiastic. Then it was handed over to the thirteenth master, and he gave birth to a child and raised a child, only to know that things are not simple, and the slave and maid have not been taught these two yet? What's more, it was so many children, and the slave maid told the master at that time that it was a pig's brain. Su Li's heart is still up and down, what does Kangxi want to say, it takes so long to talk to himself, what do you want to say? Yin has pushed it all away, and it seems that he has felt something.

"Hot-blooded!?" Kangxi laughed. After thinking about it, he sighed softly, "And now?" No more blood? ”

"The slave maid is not enough to take care of the children now." Su Li smiled shyly. Also, when you have children, how can you have time to think about others, it turns out that housewives are trained in this way. She suddenly felt like a dream. The sisters-in-law who used to look at the unit were children except for children, they didn't read books or newspapers, and their thoughts were poor, but they didn't expect that they would have such a day, it turned out that they didn't want to, but they really didn't have time to think about it.

"Well, you know what's more important, so go all out, good!" Kangxi nodded. hugged the children and kissed them, put them down and went back to discuss the matter. Su Li knelt down to see them off and waited. Only then did I realize that my back was already soaked. Why can't they say something they understand?

Concubine De pulled Su Li and looked at the door a little distracted. "!" Su Li looked at Concubine De and wanted her to know something, so she shook her head directly.

"Don't ask me, no one can guess the old man's thoughts, you and the fourth child are doing well, in this royal family, you don't want merit but no fault, the old man of Shantang looked at it and said yes. Who knows when you can cause trouble, you have never asked, and it can't be blamed on you. ”

"No matter how you say the idea, Li'er is out of the ground, I'm just afraid...... Li'er is nothing, if she affects the thirteenth master, she will be embarrassed. ”

"You worry about people, people can worry about you? One bite at a time, your idea, it's really something. It's all your business. Concubine De snorted coldly, although Thirteen also grew up in front of her, she was still one level worse than Su Li. Su Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately came to her senses and looked sideways at Concubine De. Concubine De sighed and poked her head, "I've been here for so many years, and I don't understand anything." ”

Su Li shook her head, yes. Thirteen mouths said one by one. It turned out that he was shirking his responsibility, and he was still wondering if he was going to help him get a reward.

"What do you want to eat today? Li'er to do it. Li'er is in a good mood today, so I'll make you something delicious. Su Li shook her head and stopped thinking about it. Let the children play with Concubine De, go to the kitchen by themselves, stay quietly for a while, and think about it.

Why did the old man ask? Silently turned around and thought about Kangxi's questioning from beginning to end, it's money! Kangxi wanted money, but he didn't have money, so he kept asking himself about money; Why money? The wind and rain are smooth, haven't you heard of a catastrophe anywhere? Isn't it difficult...... Su Li's mind flashed, yes, fighting! I'm so stupid, hasn't the Northwest been unpeaceful all the time? It seems that this matter is about to be delayed, and in addition to the lack of money, the old man is also short of people. There is going to be a war, but there is no one to send in the DPRK. Pai Nian Qianyao? The old man dared to think about it, didn't he also ask the child just now? If Yindi's reason is not so sufficient just now, I'm afraid that the old man will also think about giving Huizhi to Nian's! If you give a daughter, you want Nian Qianyao to work hard? Was Tang Yao a fool back then? And it's also a drink to quench your thirst!

The old man for lunch is here again, and Su Li is used to it, and the dishes are rich in flavor but light in substance. Kangxi took a bite of the soft vegetarian braised pork and laughed, "What is this made of?" ”

"Winter melon, roasted in vegetable oil, Your Majesty and Niangniang can't eat so much meat anymore." Su Li smiled, and gave the old man another stuffed mushroom, which was also made of extremely fresh river shrimp meat, and then hooked a transparent thickener, which tasted fresh and fragrant; The staple food is sweet potato porridge and shredded radish fried buns. Sweet potato diced and stalk rice boiled together, different from others, sweet potato porridge does not pay attention to the essence of the rice grains, but in the paste into a ball, can not distinguish the rice and sweet potato, but after the entrance, the rice fragrance and sweet potato are all mixed together; The shredded radish bun is even simpler, the radish shredded with the broth jelly and soaked shrimp and a little pork belly filling, fried in oil until golden brown, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and served with special Sichuan bean paste to eat the old man smiled.

"It's getting more and more unreasonable, these dishes, dare to serve them." Concubine De said deliberately when she saw that the old man was happy.

"Yes, there are dishes, let people serve them, just want His Majesty to eat more of the slaves and maids made by themselves, so I want to serve these first, so that the Lord Banzai can eat more." Su Li smiled playfully, waved and smiled and let people come up on the table, sure enough, it was made according to custom, placed below, the baby and Huizhi sat down obediently, the baby also helped Huizhi around her neck, and helped her get food, the two were not noisy or noisy, and they seemed very used to taking care of each other and eating together.

"How did you come up with the idea to do this?" Kangxi still likes to eat meat, drink a few mouthfuls of porridge, and have already eaten the second bun, the first bite is down, and the hot soup inside is hot, or Su Li stopped Kangxi in time to bite down slowly, even so it was still hot, laughing.

"It's all ready-made in the kitchen, how can the slave think so much. Fortunately, Banzai doesn't love ginseng, otherwise this bun can only be made with vermicelli, which is not as delicious as radish. The radish sucks up the soup, not only will the soup come out when you bite into it, but even the radish is full of soup, several layers of taste, this bun sells very well in the store of the thirteenth master. ”

"Is it hard? Can't others learn? ”

"No, the difficulty is in the seasoning, this meat jelly is the secret recipe of the slave maid's specialty, even the thirteenth master doesn't know, everyone uses the method of filling soup to make it, the slave and maid have a recipe for improvement, which is more suitable for the taste of the flag people, and it can't be learned by others." Let me tell you, the land sold in the store is not as good as the slave maid did it himself. ”

"When it comes to eating, you know you can do it." Concubine De glanced at her, "The concubine prefers this porridge, it's obviously a cheap thing, why do you think it's sweet." ”

"She said a long time ago, how can there be cheap food, only bad masters, when did you see what valuable things she really did?" Kangxi smiled, took a sip of porridge, and thought about it, "But is this porridge full?" ”

"In fact, this porridge is made for you to eat, but the folk use sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and potatoes as food, so we can take it to taste fresh. These don't need fertile land to plant, waterlogging and drought resistance, and the harvest can be guaranteed, the folk are boiled in a big pot, a few grains of grain, add some wild vegetables, a few pieces of sweet potatoes to boil a pot, you can ensure that a large family has a famine year. Su Li took out the views of several famous main station gods that he had watched, and came out to show Kangxi his confession.

"It's good to store, mainly because it's a cheap thing." Yin seemed to have sensed something from Kangxi's words just now, and said softly.

"Yes, because it's a cheap thing, those guys who want money and don't want to die are afraid that they won't be too lazy to be greedy anymore. You send someone to do it secretly, don't be alarmed, and save others from worrying. Kangxi nodded, Su Li sighed, it turned out that they were talking about how to store grain, yes, these worthless things are naturally less valued than rice, and they can also be done secretly. Is it crooked? Looking at the dialogue between Kangxi's father and son, I feel a little relieved, Kangxi's most trusted son at this time is only afraid of Yin, although looking at Yin is now the most inconspicuous.
