Hearing Hong Qi's voice, Zhu Dazhuang didn't dare to slack off anymore. Looking back at the subordinates behind him, he didn't know how many of these guys were willing to die for themselves.

Holding the package, Zhu Dazhuang walked into the big room.

The large window facing south was open, and the sunlight slanted in like a sword, and through the sword-like sunlight, you could see the flying dust. Hong Qi stood at a table and carefully watched an old man peeling something. Immediately adjacent to the table were several large boxes of cardboard shells. There was a large piece of red paper on it, several of which had been torn apart.

Zhu Dazhuang knows this thing, this thing is called fireworks. I heard that it was lit and blown up to the sky, and the colors were very beautiful. The household department has purchased a lot in Liaodong, and it is said that a large number of this thing will be set off in the palace tonight. The news has long spread among the people, and everyone is waiting to see with their own eyes at night, how beautiful this thing is.

Now it is already sold in the cheap shop in the capital, but a box costs 100 taels of silver. Ordinary people shook their heads when they heard the price. It's not that he's rich, and he doesn't even have the courage to take a look.

There was a pungent smell in the room, as if it were sulfur. On another table, several men were rolling a black powder in kraft paper, and Zhu Dazhuang had smelled this smell. The black thing must be gunpowder, and it turns out that this is the black workshop where the beggars make firecrackers.

Do you want to tell the fifth master about this?

"Zhu Dazhuang, what good treasure did you find?" Zhu Dazhuang was walking around, and Hong Qi beckoned to him.

"See the helper, this thing is indeed a treasure." Zhu Dazhuang wiped the gunpowder scattered on the table with his sleeve. Then he put the package on the table, and the old man, who was studying the gunpowder in the fireworks, immediately twisted his brow into a pimple.

"What is this?" Hong Qi was a little curious when he saw such a package. Zhu Dazhuang's straw bag, what kind of treasure can he get. If it had not been for the fact that he had not been instructed to do some more labor, no one would have summoned him.

Zhu Dazhuang didn't speak, and took off the package skin in three or two clicks. The sunlight shone on the gold box and emitted ten thousand golden rays, and the whole room was reflected in gold. When the golden yellow dragon box inside was revealed, everyone was stunned, even Hong Qiyuan looked at the golden dragon box blankly.

"This ...... Where did this thing come from? Hong Qi's fingers trembled and pointed to the yellow dragon box, and he began to stutter when he asked. This kind of thing, it must be owned by the royal family. This box is already a rare treasure, what will it be inside?

Everyone likes the baby, but if you recruit Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it will be ruined. Although the beggar gang is known as the largest gang in the world, Hong Qi knows it. Any gangs in the rivers and lakes are like ice and snow in summer in front of the state apparatus.

Hong Qi begged all the immortals he knew, this thing must not be made from the palace by this rammer. However, he was also sure that Zhu Dazhuang, a bastard, definitely did not have the ability to steal things in the palace.

"The day before yesterday, I met a rich businessman in Tongzhou, and my subordinates just thought it was a fat sheep. took advantage of the time when he went to the inn, and quietly put some medicine in his tea and rice. That night, I got this thing out. Zhu Dazhuang said the nonsense that he had made up a long time ago.

"Rich businessmen? What about people? Hong Qi thought for a moment and asked.

"Tie the stone and sink into Baiyangdian, this thing pierces your hands. I was afraid that there would be some hidden dangers, so I sank people. ”

"Sinking?" Hong Qihu looked at Zhu Dazhuang suspiciously, this kid did such a ruthless thing. But in this way, there is nowhere to find out where this thing came from. What makes Hong Qi even more itchy is that what will be in such a valuable box?

Zhu Dazhuang was a little weak by Hong Qi, but he still stood in front of Hong Qi. Just the calf, some cramping feeling.

"Elder Jiang, do you think this thing can be opened?" Hong Qi turned around and asked the old man next to him who was fiddling with gunpowder.

Jiang Lao stood up and carefully examined the box. After a while, he said: "This dragon's mouth seems to be a keyhole, and you haven't found the key on that person?" ”

"I found it, but I didn't find it. There was only such a box, which was carried by the servants of the rich merchants. ”

"No ......!" Jiang Lao began to look at it again.

"This kind of box seems to be a box for nobles to send messages to each other, and the keys are usually at the destination. I just don't know what's in this box. After looking at it for a while, Jiang Lao said to Hong Qi.

Hong Qi's nose was almost crooked, isn't this nonsense?

"Can you open it?" This is what Hong Qi cares about the most. Although the main business of the beggar gang is begging, there are many side jobs. In addition to human trafficking and protection money, one of the most important economic revenues is theft.

Take advantage of the fact that there is no one in the house, sneak in, and take anything valuable when you see it. If you can't even open the door lock, what kind of stealing. After a long time, there are naturally a group of masters in the gang who can pick locks by sliding doors. Jiang Lao is a master of picking locks in the gang.

"You can't break this box." Seeing Jiang Lao frowning, Hong Qi hurriedly added.

The box was a treasure, and he didn't want to break it.

"It's a bit difficult, but it's not hard for the old man." Jiang Lao took out a steel needle from his arms, and carefully fiddled with it in the poor keyhole.

In the Temple of Heaven, the emperor is making the most pious prayer in the prayer hall. Wang Tiqian hugged the dust and stood on the side with his head down. Five steps away from him is the new crown prince Zhu Cijiong.

Maybe the nurse had breastfed on the way to the Temple of Heaven, and the little crown prince slept very sweetly at this time. The pink little mouth pouted, and it looked very cute.

No matter how cute a child is, Wang Tiqian also has an urge to strangle him. Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, conspired for several years, but because of the birth of this child, it became a dream. The hard work of his king for several years has also been put into flowing water.

Next to the little crown prince, stood Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family. Not far from the queen, stood the prince's biological mother, Concubine Ning. Concubine Ning is a beauty selected by Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family from the people and presented to the emperor. Unexpectedly, just serving the emperor for one night, he hit the ground running. Now that the mother has become a concubine with her son, it is not impossible to become the queen if the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian join forces in the future.

Concubine Ning is the person of Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka clan, with the power of the two of them. No one can beat the idea of the crown prince in the palace and look at the crown prince who is sleeping soundly. Wang Tiqian was full of powerlessness, and his years of planning were in vain this time.

Li Xiao sat in the headquarters of Tongzhou Cheap Square, and Xie Youcai waited on the side like a pug.

"My lord, it's best to eat duck on a hot day. This big man Yang, the craftsmanship of roast duck is a must in Beijing. The ducks are all selected from Baiyangdian, and the roast ducks are made of fruit wood. Especially this rolled lotus leaf cake to eat, this is the number one in the whole capital. You taste it! Xie Youcai introduced it while bringing the duck meat rolled by the maid to Li Xiao.

The duck meat is shaved against the duck skeleton and looks a little greasy. Dip in the sweet noodle sauce and top with some green onions. Wrapped in a shallot-like girl, it is a pleasure not to eat.

"Old Chen, Old Li, you two also try it. It's really good to eat duck this summer! Li Xiao felt that this was not much different from the roast duck of later generations. If there is a difference, it may be that the skeleton of the duck does not boil the soup.

Eating duck today is not Li Xiao eating alone. Chen Fu helped Li Xiao find a master, Li Zhongzi, the first master of traditional Chinese medicine in the capital. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that this old guy is a descendant of Li Shizhen. I don't know if it's accurate, but this old guy has a fairy style. It looks like he's in his thirties, and he's fucking fifty when he asks about it. There was not a single white hair on his head, which made Li Xiao very shocked.

Changxing Island lacks everything, and the most lacking is talent. Medical talent, in particular, is in an outrageous shortage. Manchangxing Island, the only one who dares to call himself a doctor is John Tang. In fact, Western medicine in these years is like that, and the treatment of trauma is still good. But if there is really a headache and brain fever, then it will be blind, and many soldiers are sick, so they can only use civilian methods.

Changxing Island is close to the sea, in case you get a little cholera or something, there is really no qualified doctor to diagnose and treat it. After Chen Fu introduced Li Zhongzi, Li Xiao has been trying to find a way to get this famous doctor to Changxing Island. Not for others, but also for the sake of Xiaoyu and Xiaohao.

"The food that ducks eat is mostly aquatic organisms, so its meat is sweet and cold, enters the lungs, stomach and kidney meridians, and has the functions of nourishing, nourishing the stomach, tonifying the kidney, removing tuberculosis and heat bone steaming, eliminating edema, stopping fever and dysentery, relieving cough and phlegm. Those who have heat in the body are suitable to eat duck meat, and those who are weak, lose appetite, fever, dry stools and edema are more beneficial to eat. Folklore also says that duck is the "holy medicine" for tuberculosis patients. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: duck meat "the main tonic fatigue, the most disinfectant heat, good for urination, in addition to edema, reduce swelling, good viscera, reduce sores and swelling, and set epilepsy." ”

Li Zhongzi is worthy of being a famous doctor, and Li Xiao just knows that it is good to eat duck meat in summer. People are indeed the head of the way, and when they open their mouths, they tell the bottom of why they eat duck meat. Return the fucking scriptures!

Bullying Lao Tzu has not read the "Compendium of Materia Medica", no, I have the ability to talk to Lao Tzu about Clausewitz.

"Uh......! Please! Li Xiao organized the language for a long time, and could only say one word of invitation. People say that it is too professional, and it is impossible to pick up the stubble when searching the intestines and scraping the belly.

"Huh! Lao Li, don't chew the words. When it comes to eating, we, who are not very old adults, are this! Chen Fu gave a thumbs up.

"Oh, I want to hear about it!"

"Xie Youcai, bring him a plate of tomatoes for him to taste. You don't mean that you have tasted all the fruits and vegetables in the world, you see if you have eaten this thing. Chen Fu smiled and instructed Xie Youcai.

Xie Youcai immediately took out a plate of red things from the cold box next to him.

"Look at the color, it looks like chili peppers." One sentence shows that Li Zhongzi has seen the world. In these years, there are really few people who have eaten chili peppers.

It seemed that he had eaten chili peppers and was afraid of being spicy, so Li Zhongzi carefully picked up a small slice of tomatoes and put them in his mouth. To his surprise, this thing was actually sweet.

"How sweet is this?" Li Zhongzi was a little surprised, and picked up a large piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Li Xiao couldn't hold back his thoughts, can tomatoes mixed with sugar be sweet?

These tomatoes grown in Yizhou have been introduced to Changxing Island in small batches. Xiaoyu likes to eat this thing very much on weekdays, and now tomatoes still belong to the category of fruits. This time I came to the capital and brought some gifts, and everyone praised the emperor after eating. It was decided that in the future, Li Xiao would pay tribute to two carts every year.

It's just two carts of tomatoes, which is not a big deal. As long as the emperor starts eating, he is not afraid that the ministers will not eat. If the ministers eat, the merchants will follow suit. Customers need to be cultivated, and it's a good business to think about! If you don't sell tomatoes as a luxury item, then Xie Youcai should be laid off.

"Good things, sweet and sour are delicious, just a good way to relieve the heat." said vaguely, but the speed of the chopsticks became faster and faster.

Li Xiao and Chen Fu glanced at each other and smiled: "Elder Li, we don't just grow tomatoes on Changxing Island. There are also sweet potatoes, corn, but also potatoes, mud kiwifruit, dragon fruit, and many more. These things have medicinal properties, and if you are interested, you can check them out when the kid returns. ”

"Oh, really?" Li Zhongzi has spent his life researching drugs, and he is bent on surpassing the achievements of his ancestor Li Shizhen. Now when he heard Li Xiao say that they had so many things there that he had never seen before, he immediately became interested.

"Then can there be a fake? You see, this cigarette is made on Changxing Island. We also have a Western doctor on the island who has many unique insights into the diagnosis and treatment of external injuries. If you are going to Changxing Island, I can help you refer. ”

"In this way, the old man is willing to go to the island with the adults to have a look."

Two foxes, one old and one young, looked at each other and smiled. Changxing Island, which exudes the poison of modernization, is easy to go up but difficult to come down!

As he was talking, suddenly Li Xiao felt that the ground was shaking. Immediately afterwards, I saw a huge amount of smoke rising from the sky over the capital in the distance.

Wang Tiqian was about to grit his teeth, when suddenly there was a loud bang. The dust on the pillars of the prayer hall fell downward, and the entire prayer hall seemed to be shaking.

The nurse was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her body slanted towards Wang Tiqian. Wang Tiqian instinctively dodged, and suddenly stretched out his feet between the lightning and flint to hang on the nurse's feet and neck.

The nurse's body fell forward at once, and the crown prince in her hand also fell away.

Coincidentally, Zhu Youxiao was also shocked and took a few steps back. The crown prince happened to roll down at his feet......!

"Poof......!"
