In front of the melon and fruit shop, there are people who constantly queue up every day. If you can't line me up today, you won't be able to line me up tomorrow, but you can always get it the day after tomorrow, right? All of a sudden, it was hard to find a melon in Beijing.

has a good relationship with King Jingfu, and tries his best to buy watermelons. Fortunately, Princess Jing is not in Beijing, otherwise it would be enough for her to be annoyed! She hid in Tanggu, but she suffered King Jing. Can you imagine that every day when he went down to the court, someone blocked him at the door of the court, and those who used to meet only nodding their heads came up to hook up with him and pull a relationship with him. Just to be able to buy a few broken watermelons! When did there be so many foodies among my colleagues?

"His Royal Highness King Jing, please stay......" King Jing, who was glad that no one was waiting for him in front of the palace gate today, planned to leave early before the people behind him came out, but he was stopped by a familiar voice.

When he turned around, it turned out to be Yuan Mufan, the iron-faced prime minister of the current dynasty. The two have nothing to do with each other, because one is radical in politics, the other is steady, and they often fight for red faces in the court, and they only maintain a nodding acquaintance on ideas when they meet on weekdays. Prime Minister Yuan is not a person who pays attention to appetite, what is the matter with stopping him at this time?

Yuan Mufan, who was stared at by King Jing's puzzled eyes, and his face was slightly red, and he coughed to hide his embarrassment. If possible, he really didn't want to ask for anyone, and for this unspeakable reason. No way, filial piety is greater than the sky. In order to let his father stay in the capital for a few more days and let him, a son, do his filial piety in front of his knees, he let go of this old face!

"Please take a step to speak!" Prime Minister Yuan invited King Jing to a nearby teahouse, asked for a private room, and ordered a pot of tea.

King Jing took a sip of fragrant tea, dismissed the work of helping to make tea, and saw that Prime Minister Yuan was reluctant to speak, so he asked directly: "What is the difficulty of Prime Minister Yuan?" If Zhu can help, he must not hesitate! ”

King Jing inherited the bold character of the emperor, and hated the mother-in-law of the literati the most.

Prime Minister Yuan gritted his teeth and said what he asked for in one breath. It turned out that Prime Minister Yuan's father, a generation of Confucian Yuan Sinian, finally returned to Beijing, and lived in his son's house for a long time, I heard that there were watermelons sold in the capital, and he had to go back to Tang Ancient Town, and his mouth was always chattering: "The watermelon of the little grass girl's house should be ripe, I haven't eaten the little girl's braised pig's head meat for a long time, I don't know what kind of small stove the little girl opened for her brother this week......"

Prime Minister Yuan's youngest son, Yuan Yunxi, returned to Beijing to prepare for the Autumn Festival, and our Dean Yuan originally said that it would be good, and he would wait until his grandson finished the exam and then returned to Tanggu Town. But as soon as I heard the watermelon, I couldn't sit still. He had already sent someone to Tanggu Town to buy it, but it would take five or six days to come and go, to say the least. But his father became more and more anxious, as if he couldn't wait for a day, no wonder he said that his temper became more and more like a child when he got old.

"Your Royal Highness King Jing, you see...... Can you plant from your melon and fruit shop first, and come over with two? Prime Minister Yuan never expected that when he would beg for watermelon, his old face turned red.

For the sake of the concubine's melon and fruit shop, King Jing has been in a hurry recently, according to his wishes, he quickly sold all the watermelons that caused trouble, and he didn't think about it, and he wouldn't offend anyone. Prime Minister Yuan's character has always been upright, and he is for his father, and his filial piety is commendable. King Jing couldn't refuse, so he readily agreed. With two watermelons, let the iron-faced prime minister owe him a personal favor, this deal is not a loss!

Immediately, he instructed the guards with him: "Go to the princess's melon and fruit shop, take two watermelons and send them to the prime minister's mansion." Remember, don't enter from the storefront, take it directly from the backyard, just say that the king commanded it! ”

Prime Minister Yuan bowed his hand to him gratefully. King Jing lowered his head and took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "Brother Yuan, if there is nothing else......

"Thank you, Your Highness, the old man will prepare good wine another day, please be sure to appreciate the light of His Royal Highness King Jing." Prime Minister Yuan was also in a hurry to go back to his house to see if his father was going back to Tanggu Town again.

After King Jing took his leave, Prime Minister Yuan did not stay any longer and hurried back to the palace. Sure enough, our dean, carrying a small burden in his hand, ignored the obstruction of others, and hurriedly asked people to prepare a car to send him back to Tanggu.

Yuan Yunxi saw that his grandfather's stubborn temper came up again, and he didn't dare to block it too much, but he persuaded him with kind words on the side: "Grandpa, I have already sent someone to line up to buy watermelons." If you leave today, you won't be able to eat the watermelon when you buy it! ”

"When you get to Tanggu, tell the little grass girl, watermelon, your grandfather, I want to eat as much as I want! How could I have queued up for two days for a watermelon, and it hasn't been my turn yet! "Two days ago, Yuan Si heard that the capital was transporting a batch of watermelons from Tanggu, and he was full of joy and sent people to buy them, but the store relied on the Jingwang Mansion as the backstage, and did not buy the account of the Prime Minister's Mansion at all. I waited for two days with a burning heart, but I didn't even wait for a piece of watermelon rind. I'm angry! Back in Tanggu, he must sell a lot of watermelons, eat one and throw one and kick the other as a ball!

"Grandpa, the private room set by Zhenyu Lou, it's our turn tonight, if you leave, you won't be able to eat!" Yuan Yunxi grew up next to his grandfather, and he can't figure out the essence of his foodie, if you want to keep him, you can only use food offensive!

When it came to the treasured food building in the capital, Yuan Sinian was even more angry, he blew his beard and said: "The Zhou family kid is too unrighteous!" I didn't even leave a special private room for the old man, and I had to wait in line for a private room to eat!! In Tanggu, as long as the grass girl says, I can eat when I want, and I still need to queue up? ”

Yu Xiaocao's status in Tanggu Zhenyu Building is equivalent to half a boss, and there is a special private room inside. She never had to wait in line to eat, or entertain guests. However, she usually has few opportunities to eat, and there are not many friends who can make her entertain at Zhen Yulou, so she is usually idle.

When Yu Xiaocao went to deliver a meal to his younger brother, he would always give a copy to his younger brother's mentor, Dean Yuan. Once, she heard this lovely foodie old man complain that she couldn't wait for a place to eat at Zhenyulou, so she generously lent him her private room.

In other words, Zhenyulou belongs to Xiaocao's private room, and when she is not in use, Dean Yuan can use it casually. This is equivalent to Dean Yuan having a private room in Zhen Yu Lou that does not require reservations and can be used at any time. The little old man was very chattering among his old friends for a while.

In addition to the Zhou family, Zhenyulou also has such an exclusive private room as Xiaocao. How enviable it is to be able to eat without queuing up and without making an appointment at the Zhen Yu Restaurant? The envious, jealous and hateful gazes of Dean Yuan's old friends made him flutter for a while.

After coming to the capital, all the preferential policies are gone. Dean Yuan was disappointed......

Just as Yuan Sinian insisted on leaving, Prime Minister Yuan arrived with the person who delivered the watermelon.

"Daddy! The watermelon is back! My son wants to taste the Tanggu watermelon that his father praised, what does it taste? Prime Minister Yuan had an elegant smile on his face, as if he didn't see the burden in his father's hand, and asked people to carry the watermelon to the outer courtyard hall.

Yuan Sinian recognized at a glance that the watermelon that his subordinates were holding was planted by the Yu family. The watermelon in Beijing is small and unpalatable, and the watermelon still has to eat Tang Guyu's family!

When he saw the watermelon, he seemed to forget that he was making trouble to go back to Tanggu, and his feet were automatically and spontaneously seduced away by the watermelon.

When Yuan Sinian heard his son's words, he snorted and said, "You'll know when you eat it!" Don't rob me when the time comes! ”

Prime Minister Yuan couldn't cry or laugh in his heart: You and I are just like you!

The watermelon in Kyoto is cut in the middle and eaten with a spoon. Yuan Sinian vividly commanded his subordinates how to cut the watermelon into triangular pieces, and then couldn't wait to grab a piece in his hand and take a bite hard. Well, that's the smell! Sweet to the heart of the heart!

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his son's surprised expression, and he said with a sigh: "It's a pity, the watermelon is not very fresh!" If it is freshly plucked from the ground, it will have a crisp and sweet taste. ”

After eating one piece, when he saw his son taking another piece, he hurriedly stopped: "Didn't you say that I wouldn't rob it with you?" Just taste one piece, why are you still addicted to it? ”

Prime Minister Yuan looked at the watermelon weighing at least fifteen or sixteen kilograms, and said with a smile: "Dad, you can't eat such a big watermelon alone!" The watermelon has been cut, and if you leave it for a long time, you will have a stomach trouble if you eat it again! ”

Yuan Sinian glared at him and said to Yuan Yunxi: "Yunxi, send half of it to your mother and sister-in-law in the backyard, so that they can also try it!" Watermelon is cold, let your sister-in-law pay attention to it, don't let children eat too much. ”

Yuan Yunxi is the youngest son in the family, just seventeen this year, with two brothers and two sisters, the brothers have married and had children, and the sisters are also married. The eldest brother's child is just three years old, and it is when he is cute, Dean Yuan, who is a grandfather, will think about this little guy if he has anything to eat.

Yuan Yunxi's brothers joked behind their backs that only this little thing with no hair can snatch food from the "tiger's mouth"!

Because of these two watermelons, the Prime Minister's Mansion kept the old urchin who was shouting to return to Tanggu.

And the king of Yangjun, who was far away in Tanggu, didn't expect that his act of just wanting to earn some pocket money would cause his father a lot of trouble. King Jing later wrote a letter and told his youngest son in front of the princess.

At this time, the king of Yangjun was sitting in the courtyard full of vegetables of the Yu family, leisurely drinking tea and admiring the new greenery. Diametrically opposed to his leisure, poor Yu Xiaocao was fighting with pots and spoons in the kitchen because of the big Buddha in the courtyard!

"Yu Xiaocao, I want to eat tomatoes!" In the late spring, there are not many fruits to eat, and the tomatoes of the Yu family are sweet and sour, juicy, and more refreshing than many fruits that Zhu Junyang has eaten.

These days, Zhu Junyang almost takes advantage of official business to come to Yu's house every day to eat. This guy has a bad mouth, it's not Yu Xiaocao who does it himself, he can always find something wrong. The village chief's grandfather couldn't wait to give this guy up, and repeatedly told him to entertain the county prince.
