Chapter Ninety-One: The Emperor Also Loves Small Barbecues
Xia Hongdi paid attention to Heiwa's experiment, and heard that he had already installed a toilet in his mansion, and it was still being improved, so he couldn't hold it back, so he announced that he would enter the palace.
Heiwa brought two small toilets into the palace, and the adults were too bulky, so the small toilets were displayed as samples.
Looking at the white and smooth toilet, as well as the construction drawings of the black baby, the emperor felt that it should be easy to use, and his heart was itching, so he was curious.
Unwilling to just watch this small toilet, the emperor actually took the prince and went to Zhongqinbo's mansion at night, this thing must be used to experience it to feel it.
The two heads happily guarded the door of the thatched house, and when the prince came out, he asked happily: "Your Highness, how do you feel, is it particularly comfortable to sit on it and?" ”
Looking at the baby's sparkling eyes, the prince still nodded very face-savingly: "It's very easy to use, the flushing is very clean, and there is no strange smell in the thatched house." ”
"That's it, my father also made a small toilet that can be used for children, it looks good, and my family will also install one for the two younger brothers."
The prince was obviously not used to discussing this kind of tasteful topic, so he got out of the thatched house and hurried to the living room at both ends, this was the first time he came to Zhongqinbo's mansion, but at night, it was a pity that he couldn't take a good look at the scenery.
But I don't know why, he feels very comfortable staying in Yuan's mansion, more comfortable than in his foreign home.
In the study in the front yard, Xia Hongdi watched Heiwa talk about the mud screening and firing process of this toilet, and touched his chin:
"So, you say the mud that this thing can use in the capital is not good enough? Isn't this toilet the best? ”
"Your Majesty, the best of this soft mud should still be in Lingnan, when the minister built a cement mill over there, he dug all kinds of soil, the soil in Lingnan is more viscous, and the toilet made should be better sealed."
"You, a state-owned holding company, accept investment from big businessmen, tell me in detail." The emperor didn't have the patience to look at this thick stack of investment plans, he just wanted to listen to the main points.
Heiwa smiled and said: "Well, to put it bluntly, that is, Your Majesty, you choose a businessman you agree to do business together, the majority of the profits are controlled by the imperial court, and the small head gives money to build a workshop and also helps us run the market. ”
His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and Xia Hongdi pondered in his heart, don't those families still twitter and pinch me? Hmph, you know that this is a very profitable business, so don't fools want to get involved?
Thinking about his uncle who has done a lot of work for himself, this Jianghu gang is not very easy to give knights, although their Cao Gang is now more stable, but if you give some business that can eat dividends, I think my uncle will be happy.
"Then you still have to go to Lingnan to take the lead? At least you have to build a high-temperature kiln, and you can rest assured that you don't watch the first toilets be fired? "Xia Hongdi is a little weak-hearted, and he has only been back in Beijing for a few months, which is a bit inhumane.
"Your Majesty, I took my second and third brothers to participate in all the processes this time. Or, I'll let them do this craft in the capital, and then go out to do your work? The minister plans to use the capital as a test base, there are too many things that can be done, of course, if they have a problem that they can't solve, the minister still has to go on a business trip. ”
"Oh? If there's anything else you want to do, tell me about it! "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this Yuan Aiqing is still a person who loves to study.
"Chen thought, now the cement production is more and more stable, when the road paved to a certain time, can be used to build a city wall or house, after the ground cement in the house is paved, if you want to be cleaner, maybe the minister can burn some tiles out, do a good job of anti-skid measures, so that our living environment is more comfortable."
"This can be had, Aiqing, then you still stay in the capital, do a good experiment, where do you need the soil, although I say, I will let people dig it for you, if your two younger brothers have to use it, I will also give them a monthly salary, one hundred taels a month!"
This energy source is constantly researching new products for him, isn't it better than going to a place to squat? It doesn't take much thought to figure it out, and as for the mud, he can have people dig up everything that is suitable for making these ceramics.
"The two younger brothers of the minister, Your Majesty Longen!" Heiwa kowtowed to Xia Hongdi to thank her, and she was sincerely grateful, which gave her two younger brothers a high-paying iron job.
Now I don't have to worry about supporting my family, and I have to train the second and third rooms, and I can't always rely on my own pocket to send them monthly examples!
"Well, as for you, then I will also be the general consultant of a toilet workshop, and I will also give you an annual salary of 10,000 taels, as long as the workshop does not fall, your annual salary will be valid forever!"
"Thank you for your great grace, hehe, in fact, Your Majesty's ministers now have a thick family background, in addition to the ministers and daughters-in-law's wealth, the Zhuangzi rewarded by the mother is enough for the minister's family to eat and drink, and the minister's daughter-in-law also tosses noodles, and can sell them for thousands of taels of silver for a few months a year, and a few small ones are still young, and the ministers slowly save their daughter-in-law's book, and the time is very generous!"
"There are four boys in your family, where are you going, do you have such a lot of money?"
"No matter how much money you have, you can't eat or drink three meals a day, and you can't sleep any more than a collapse, in fact, when there is more money, it's just a number, if the child is not angry, no matter how much you stay, there will be a time when you lose it, and the ministers are not obsessed with leaving them with a family foundation, and they will have to rely on their own hard work in the future!"
It is rare that the emperor did not say a word, savoring the words of this loyal and diligent uncle who did not know much but repeatedly surprised him.
Heiwa: Hey, having said that, my daughter-in-law has 20,000 catties of gold in her space, is her family really not thin?
Of course, when the emperor comes to your house, he can't just take care of the tea, even if it is already unitary, Cuihua also gave Zhang Luo a small barbecue, and barbecue is the main dish of supper.
Xia Hongdi looked at the barbecue stove set up in the courtyard of the front yard, the ingredients were skewered on the plate, and there was a seasoning that was said to be a secret barbecue sauce.
Is it just such rough food to entertain me? Although he didn't say anything dissatisfied, he still had doubts about this barbecue.
But Heiwa fiddled with it a few times at will, and watched the long string of meat on the charcoal fire, Xia Hongdi closed his mouth very rationally.
Grilled pork belly: Fat and thin pork belly, the fat part is roasted out of fat by charcoal fire, and drips into the charcoal fire from time to time, and the aroma of meat makes you unable to ignore it;
Roasted chicken wings: the selected chicken wings, a few months old chicken, the meat is not too tender, the chicken skin is browned, brushed with sauce, just looking at the appearance can already imagine the taste;
Roast beef: The beef has been marinated, and the selected beef tenderloin is tender and juicy in the mouth;
Grilled fish: This is very special, not the whole fish, but the fresh fish slices to remove the spines, slice into a piece, can be cooked in more than ten seconds, sprinkled with seasoning and green onions, this taste can be good?
Roasted pig's trotters: The marinated pig's trotters were originally raked and rotten, and the flavor was very deep, and then the barbecue sauce was brushed and roasted, and the leather was tightened again, burnt and soft and glutinous, and it could cry the baby next door.
Vegetables such as leeks and eggplant can also be roasted better than meat, especially eggplant, after the whole root is roasted, the skin is cut, and then the eggplant meat inside is brushed with barbecue juice, sprinkled with chopped green onion and minced garlic, and the eggplant meat is roasted soft and glutinous with charcoal.
The prince ate a whole bar alone! I also learned the action of two-headed skewers, people don't masturbate too fast, and it's the most fragrant to eat it!
As a barbecue master, Heiwa is in charge of the overall situation alone, which is one of the few skills he can master. One person roasted, but he couldn't catch up with the royal father and son, the two ends of the Yuan family and the old man Fan.
The emperor is not good at grabbing food with children, but seeing that Mr. Fan actually grabbed strings with himself, Xia Hongdi glared, this bad old man!
"Mr. Fan, in other words, you can't just stay in Zhongqinbo Mansion to teach these children, Guozi Jian Cai has given me many times to mention the wine, looking at your red face, you should be able to teach and educate people for many more years!"
Xia Hongdi was angry: If you want to take this old man out to work for me, you can be a good talent, can you be a little self-motivated, you can't get used to this kind of guy who doesn't work much and eats a lot!
Mr. Fan didn't care about this, holding the pig's trotters with both hands and gnawing on them, chewing the hoof tendons, and replied inarticulately: "Your Majesty, how old are the grass people, and they are old in the Zhongqin Mansion, and the grass people can't do the work of the Guozijian, hey, they are old and old, and their energy is not good!" ”
Looking at the old man who also picked up dozens of skewers of meat and a big pig's trotters, Xia Hongdi's heart was full of grooves, although this Fan family was knowledgeable about current affairs, but it was too unproductive.
What the emperor didn't know was that the Fan family didn't want to be motivated, and they didn't care too much about it when they received the annual gift from Zhongqin Bofu at the end of the year.
After all, it was mainly about eating and drinking, and the emperor hadn't given the Yuan family the title yet, and the return gift hadn't been prepared yet, so he smiled and accepted it.
As a result, after the New Year, there was a bang, and Fan Laoqi, the laziest in their family, actually hugged Jin Daji, and no one else in the Fan family was admitted to the Jinshi in these generations.
The Fan family's power has not yet come out of the scope of Shu, and this newly released Zhongqin Bofu has to make the Fan family want to have a good relationship.
Didn't you listen to what Fan Laoqi said, Uncle Zhong Qinbo is very popular with the new emperor, the two young masters are both manufacturable materials, and they are not very old, if they can climb a family, they will go out of Shudi, and there are seven or eight young daughters of the right age in the family.
In order to select an excellent and suitable little girl who went to the capital to serve the old uncle, several housewives in the concubine room were about to fight, and no one was willing to be left behind, Mr. Fan's eldest brother was the patriarch, and he was so angry by this group of people who didn't like to talk that he snorted.
They didn't think that Zhongqinbo would look down on their family's daughter, this is not a joke, the Fan family is the largest and oldest family in Shu, and the family can also choose to marry a wife in Shu.
In addition to beauty, female virtue is also very good, Shudi, no one should be able to refuse their family.
Cuihua: I'm afraid that you think a little too much, and our family chooses a daughter-in-law and doesn't look at this!
