The autumn of that year was an eventful one.

In his memories of the past autumn, he would take a nap every day until the end of the hour, and every time he woke up, after a quarter to two quarters of an hour of waking and cleaning, someone would hurry him up a little bit, and put a gilded plate of eight birds foraging for nine sons on the table in the outhouse where he usually ate.

The nine-plate is named because it is divided into nine grids, like the lines crisscrossing each other on a chessboard, and in these nine grids, there will be different fruits in each month according to the time when the fruit is ripe.

He remembered that the beginning of that eventful autumn was one day in October. Because he only remembered that the gilded eight-bird foraging plate on that day was filled with fresh dates, grapes, oranges, dragon fruit, cantaloupe, hawthorn, autumn peaches, pomegranates, kiwi and other seasonal fresh fruits made of cold food in it.

Among them, the fresh jujube is planted on the high mountains with warm winters and cool summers, and because of its late ripening, it can not be picked until early or mid-October at the earliest. And his gilded eight birds foraging for the winter dates in the nine-son plate came from the Shuiyun jujube field dedicated to the royal family. They will remove and slice the freshly picked winter dates on the spot with a special technique, and it is better to cut a winter date to a thickness of no more than one-fifth of an inch. The sliced winter dates are then sealed and marinated in the red bee honey contained in the prepared jade porcelain jar.

Then it took another thirteen days to send it to his dormitory in the Tianzi Imperial City, and in these thirteen days, the translucent red red bee honey was able to marinate the winter jujube slices put into it thoroughly, and the jujube meat slices that were originally white with a slight green color would turn into red translucent jujube slices.

And the hawthorn fruit, which is also made in this way.

In this way, the two grids in the nine-sub-plate can be done.

And the orange, ordinary people eat oranges, which are nothing more than peeling the skin, either putting the whole in their mouths and enjoying the majestic juice surging in their mouths, or chewing in one or several strands. But how can the people of the emperor's two clans uphold such a concept like ordinary people, and the person in charge of his daily fruit plate in the dining room will use a knife no longer than the length of his thumb, first slowly peel the orange peel to avoid hurting the inner flesh, and then use tweezers to remove the orange on it as a backup, and then remove the endocarp wrapped in the orange flesh in a special process, and then it is time to sort the small orange flesh grains.

There are even standards for the sorting of this orange flesh, and there are three "don'ts".

First, do not use orange flesh smaller than the size of a grain of rice; Second, those who are damaged, dehydrated and sluggish do not want to; Third, don't carry oranges.

The selected orange flesh will be put into the prepared cold sugar boiled sugar water, and then put into the ice jade porcelain cup, then covered with a layer of waterproof red oil paper, and a golden silk thread to tie the extra part of the red oil cloth to the outer wall of the cup.

A cup of sweet and sour orange syrup is ready, and at the end it only needs to be put into the nine-sub plate.

The rest, such as cantaloupe, dragon fruit, and kiwifruit, only need to be diced, but because he has something to do every day and needs to socialize, in order to avoid his anger and injury, so after the three are diced, they will be mixed together, and poured with loquat leaves, orange (originally bellflower), rice sac shell, hundred, white front, mulberry white peel, menthol, and the auxiliary materials are sucrose, citric acid, etc., which can play the role of clearing the lungs and stopping fever. As for the melon and melon seeds, they are sent to the Imperial Medical Hall for medicine and medicine.

There are also three pomegranates, grapes, and autumn peaches, the first two of which are first seeded with special knives and techniques, and then can be made into jelly with autumn peaches.

At this point, the gilded eight birds foraged for the fruits in the nine plates, and they were all completed.

On that day, the emperor came in person, just when he had just woken up from a nap, and before he could sober up his confused mind, he immediately changed his clothes and went out of the dormitory to greet him.

The emperor sitting behind the dining table lowered his eyebrows and looked at the contents of the Nine Sons Plate that was emitting cold smoke, as if he was thinking about something. And he was kneeling in front of the dining table, his face was flat, and he also looked at the nine plates.

Suddenly, the emperor stretched out his hand and gently pushed the nine-son plate towards him, and there was tenderness in his words that he had never heard in the twenty-three years since he was born: "It is late autumn at this time, although this autumn tiger will last longer than before, but this chilled fruit plate, in the years to come, it is better not to eat it every day, it will hurt the yang." As a father, I still look forward to my emperor's two families, and I can add another man. ”

Listening to these words, which were almost indistinguishable from hypocrisy in his ears, he suddenly laughed, laughing helplessly, laughing sadly, and laughing a little successfully!

"Three months ago, you heard what happened to the man who walked out of the dream house I set up?" He asked.

The emperor bowed slightly, stretched out his hand and took the ice jade porcelain cup containing orange sugar water in the Jiuzi plate, looked at it carefully, and suddenly asked: "I heard that among your daily fruit plates, this orange sugar water drink is the most exquisite, I don't know how it tastes?" ”

In a word, he immediately understood in his heart.

His orange syrup drink can be said to be the only one, not to mention how valuable the materials are, the production process alone is tedious and frightening, especially the process of peeling off the endocarp with tweezers and removing the oranges, which can make most people prohibitive.

The most important thing is that almost no one knows how it is made.

Obviously, the emperor planted someone beside him, but I don't know who it is. However, he was the first suspect to come to mind.

He thought to himself: [The fruit drink in this nine-son plate should be changed, after so long, it should be tired of drinking. By the way, change the people in the dining room. 】

"The emperor is here today, if you have any orders, please show them in person, and the six sons of the royal family will do what they can."

As soon as the words fell, the six princes brought the orange sugar water drink, and asked people to take another iced jade porcelain cup, and divided the orange sugar water drink into two parts, one of which was pushed by him in front of the emperor of Tulei.

In the process, Emperor Tulei had already opened his mouth, but he was talking about the deeds of the person who walked out of the Dream Pavilion three months ago.

This matter also needs to start from the dream hall of the prince Qi.

You must know that the dormitory residence of the children of the royal family is different from that of the children of the imperial family, regardless of their status, the area occupied by the dormitory is the same, and the dormitory of the children of the royal family is determined according to their ranking.

For example, the prince's relatives, who are the sixth oldest among the younger generation of the royal family, according to the regulations of the Imperial Courtyard, their sleeping palace covers an area and specifications, and is a three-story pavilion of up to 600 square meters.

Moreover, in this dormitory, in addition to the residence of the prince on the top floor, those who take care of his daily life, such as stewards, male and female servants, guards, and dining room men, will live on the first or second floor.

Therefore, these people who belong to the prince's subordinates will also vary in number according to the size of the area occupied by the palace.

The reason for this is that according to the rules, the monthly salaries of these subordinates must be distributed by the princes and princesses they serve from their own monthly salaries.

Therefore, some princes and princesses who have no talent for business, even if their bedrooms cover a large area, have to reduce the number of their subordinates.

Of course, it is not without anyone who has thought of reducing the size of the dormitory and then selling the vacated land or renting it out to others to increase income.

However, according to the rules of the Imperial Palace, it is possible to reduce the area of the dormitory, but the vacated land is not allowed to be sold or rented, and if you want to set up a shop, even if it is a small stall, the prince and the princess must personally preside over the relevant matters.

In short, if a shop is set up, the prince and the princess must act as the shopkeeper, even if it is a street stall, it must be sold by the prince and the princess themselves!

In the three major imperial cities, there are no less than forty children of the royal family shouting on the side of the street, and others are not surprised.

The prince and the prince have reduced the area of their dormitory to 500 square meters, and the vacated 100 square meters of land have built a two-story building, which is not like the common people to open taverns, inns or other people-friendly businesses, and not like other princes and princesses who also handed over the building to open shops, doing elegant things such as calligraphy and painting, porcelain. His two-story building only focuses on one kind of business.

Dreamland!

Therefore, this two-story small building, also known as the Dream House, is a hand-held pen painting plaque, hanging on the top of the gate.

But it has been open for a long time, and the people who came to cheer were all the children of the official family who were familiar with the prince's relatives, and there were few others. There are even rumors outside mocking these six princes, and the implication is nothing more than saying that everyone dreams at night, where would anyone be so stupid as to spend money to dream!

However, as the years go by, there are people who have known the prince and have been to the dream house a few times and found that when there was something troubled in their hearts for a long time, they went to the dream house, hoping to have a good dream to relieve the sorrow in their hearts.

But I never thought that I dreamed of a solution to that trouble, and after waking up, this person found that this dream was clear as if it was engraved in my mind, and the faces of the people I met, the words I said, and the things I did were all vivid!

He hurriedly asked the prince Qi for confirmation, but he only got a mysterious smile from the sixth prince, and a sentence: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, but you can try it, and if it is done, you don't know." ”

This person immediately bid farewell to the prince's relatives, and when he returned home, he immediately tried to solve the matter that had bothered him for half a year according to the method in his dream.

Three days later, the man smiled happily, followed by an ox cart full of Jinbei, and bluntly said that he had come to repay his wish.

This matter is magical, and the person who returned from the "wish" was used as a show-off talk to tell others about it, and once it spread, although it was only circulated in the Tianzihao Imperial City, there were still people who were more important and had a heavier status to inquire.

The prince Qi greeted the guests with a smile, and those who came did not refuse.

But it was also from this time that he asked the guests to write down the desired dreams on paper, and then twisted them into wicks, soaked in a lamp oil that smelled of strange oil, and then brought the guests into the cubicle, while the prince closed the door for him without entering.

After only an hour, these people who came to explore the secret departed with solemn faces, excitement, or uncertainties.

But within three days, more than seventy percent of them, imitating the people who came to "repay their vows" at the beginning, pulled carts of Jinbei into the treasury at the back door of the prince's palace.

So far, not to mention anything else, the reputation and business of the dream house of the prince Qi are getting better and better day by day. However, the prince Qi thinks that none of these things are as much as what that person brought him.

That man was a middle-aged man who was framed by his wife for fornication with others, and with the will to die, he lent 1,300 silver shells to the underground bank and came to the dream house.

This person's name is Jiang He.

Three months later,

This person's Jianghu congratulatory number,

Qian Tongshen!!
