The son of the umbrella shop shopkeeper made the plastic film that Xu Yin wanted, although compared with the plastic film of later generations, it seems rougher, thicker, and more chaotic, a little tougher but not much, but it is more transparent than oil paper, and cheaper than glass!

Isn't this the low-cost greenhouse material that the four princes want?

Xu Yin immediately sent someone to take Bi Changshun's family to Huangzhuang, set up an oil paper workshop on the spot, purchased cotton grown by farmers nearby, and asked the father and son to improve it on the basis of the first generation of plastic film to see if they could make a thinner, more transparent, and more flexible plastic film.

"Daddy! Then I don't have to go to the academy to study? ”

On the carriage out of the city, Bi Fuqi couldn't help but ask excitedly.

Bi Changshun: "......"

It's hard to say whether to be angry or happy.

This kid accidentally dropped a camphor into the material bucket, not wanting to be a blessing in disguise, and fell into the blue eyes of nobles.

It seems that the old lady really didn't make a mistake in naming this kid.

In the academy, classmates who often formed groups to ridicule Bi Fuqi and took pleasure in bullying him saw that he hadn't come to school for a few days, and wondered:

"What's wrong with that kid with the surname Bi? I heard the master say that he dropped out of school, is it because his family is so poor that he can't open the pot and won't let him read? ”

"I heard that his umbrella shop is closed, and the business must be bad, and he can't open it!"

"At his level, continuing to read is a waste of time and money."

"That's it! I really should let my father take a good look at his homework, like a ghost drawing a talisman, and my father praises him for being smart and filial all the time. ”

Bi Fuqi's classmates took turns complaining, and went home from school refreshed.

There is one less scumbag in the academy, not only the students don't feel anything, but even their masters don't take it seriously.

It wasn't until a few years later that the four princes were canonized as princes by virtue of their low-cost greenhouses that allowed the people to eat fresh vegetables and vegetables in winter.

The prince went out on patrol, the carriage and horses gave way, and the classmates who looked down on Bi Fuqi in the past saw Bi Fuqi in a trance when they knelt down and bowed.

At that time, he was already a well-used master craftsman around the prince, and he didn't need to report when he entered and exited the prince's mansion;

And some of them failed in scientific examinations and nested at home to gnaw at the old; Some stopped showing off their talents and returned to their hometowns to become private school teachers.

The greatest achievement is also a person, because he has repeatedly failed to pass the Jinshi, and there is no connection behind him, so he has to obey the arrangement of the officials, and be a petty official of the eight or nine grade teaching class, and when he sees Bi Fuqi, he may have to accompany him with a smile and dedication, who makes people the big red man around His Royal Highness the Prince?

But that's another story.

At present, no one expected that the son of a mere umbrella shop shopkeeper would soon stand out and be reused by the four princes.

Even Bi Fuqi himself didn't dare to think about it.

Together with his father, after living in the Zhuangzi of the Four Princes, he plunged into the oil-paper improvement workshop and became busy.

Bi Changshun's wife and youngest son and daughter are responsible for cooking and laundry for the grandfather, so that they can run errands for the nobles without distraction.

Now they have no shortage of money in hand, because the nobleman gave a hundred taels of silver, saying that he had hired their whole family to work in the village, and that they would be rewarded for their good work. So what's the concern? Just do it with your heart!

Xu Yin lived in the Four Princes' Village for a few days, and every day she either made tea, barbecued, and gossiped with the Four Princesses, or wandered around the vast fields, bringing some ingredients of interest back by the way, and inviting the Four Princesses to taste them with fresh cooking methods.

She doesn't have the gossip of concubines to trade, the four princesses who can talk are not interested, and those who are interested can't talk, so just make up some delicious returns.

is worthy of being a husband and wife, she and the four princes' enthusiasm for food is like a mold carved out. If you are not a royal concubine, there is no time for picky eating.

Xu Yin fished a net of snails in the small pond on the edge of the ridge, and the snails in early summer were not the fattest time, but they were fresh.

Take them back and keep them in the water tank, and when they spit out the mud and sand, they will be placed on the barbecue grill and eaten while roasting.

This barbecue grill is custom-made by the four princes, at the beginning of the year, when I went to the hot spring Zhuangzi of the Xue family as a guest, I ate one or two barbecues, and I was shocked, and when I came back, I found a craftsman to play two pairs, and one pair was placed in the queen mother, and the father was interested in naturally going to the queen mother to taste; Not interested in giving it to him is also shelved in the imperial dining room.

The other pair was taken out of the city by the four princesses this time, and it was secretly brought out.

"What delicacies does he want to eat in the house? That's why we're suffering! The fourth princess snorted.

It's not that he's suffering, he eats snails that can be found everywhere and the people are too lazy to catch them.

Xu Yin: "......"

If you don't eat one by one, and if you don't have enough to eat and send guards to continue fishing, maybe they will believe you a little.

In addition to the snails, Xu Yin also brought back a handful of tender grass, the four princesses didn't know it, but the maids and mothers-in-law around her knew each other, and they all muttered in their hearts:

Isn't this stuff for horses? Even the poor rarely cut it to eat, unless it is a lazy man, they are too lazy to serve a few vegetable patches in front of and behind the house, and they are so hungry that they grab food from the horses. This young grandmother Xue is not bad, how could she think of eating this?

Xu Yin ignored their surprised eyes, grass is a good thing! Not to mention the high nutritional value, it also clears heat and detoxifies. If you eat too much barbecue and eat some grass, mouth ulcers can be cured.

She asked the kitchen to send some high-quality japonica rice and glutinous rice, after the two mixed rice were washed and cleaned, mixed well with diced bacon, shiitake mushrooms, and fresh bamboo shoots, and then put in the retort of steamed rice, steamed for a while, and when the rice grains were half-cooked, put in the selected and washed grass and mix well, continue to steam, and wait until the rice is completely cooked and you can start eating.

The tenderness of the grass, the deliciousness of diced mushroom shoots, the fresh aroma of the salted meat, and the plump rice grains soaked in the fat of the salted meat make people's taste buds whet and appetite as soon as they are served.

The fourth princess took a bite and opened her eyes wide: "Sister Yin, what kind of dish is this?" It's so fragrant! When Hongu saw the salted meat, he thought it would be greasy, but he didn't expect it to be completely none! ”

Since these sisters have eaten Xu Yin's dishes a few times, they have been commensurate with Xu Yin's sisters.

"It's grass. When I was in the south, every year at this time, I would follow the master in the temple to the back mountain to pick tender grass, pick back stewed rice to eat, but the temple is vegetarian, there is no salted meat, I was thinking, one day I don't live in the temple, I must try a salted meat and grass head stewed rice, it must be very fragrant! ”

"Haha! It's really fragrant! The four princesses were happy to sell well, and unconsciously ate an extra bowl, and also picked the grass head.

The next day, because she ate several barbecues in a row, the boils that were faintly uncontrollable were magically extinguished.

Looking back, I heard Xu Yin say that the grass has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, and it can be used as food therapy when it is on fire, and the four princesses sent the guards to pick up a large basket without saying a word, and quickly sent it back to the house for the four princes to eat.

Because his usual eating habits are not very good, he likes to eat meat and fishy food rather than vegetarian, which leads to two fires in three days.

The four princes who received a basket full of grass: "......"

After being stunned for a long time, he turned his head and asked the guard who ran errands: "Are you sure this is for the palace and not for the horse?" ”

"That's what the master said!"

"......" (end of chapter)
