Ying Zheng led the servants and guards to the manor, and when he saw the new courtyard, he was also shocked and very curious.

This courtyard is a little chic, a little different from other yards, the trees are dotted, and the fragrance of flowers is set off, this is not what makes him curious, what he is curious about is that there are a few cases in the corner of the courtyard.

No, this can't be called a few cases, what is called good, anyway, it is strange and difficult to describe.

It's round, it's made of pure wood, and there are four legs under it, which is not very strange, but strangely, under this thing, there are square things, and backrests.

What's the use of this thing?

Ying Zheng was very puzzled, but he didn't ask much.

At this time, Li Jinong bowed over and greeted him, his outfit was new, and his extravagance was suddenly revealed.

The butler followed, so respectful that he couldn't have been more respectful.

It's Li Zhao, who didn't appear, he should be busy with food.

"Your Majesty, I have wronged you." Li Jinong said politely, "Please take a seat, please take a seat!" ”

"May I be seated?" Ying Zheng wondered, this is the courtyard, there is no blanket mat, how can he sit? Is it possible to sit on the dirt? What kind of system.

His face darkened.

Li Jinong's eyesight was very unique, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat." He pointed to a very elaborate and beautiful stool next to the round table, and said respectfully.

Yes, there were no stools in the Qin Dynasty, and the table was not passed in, and the Qin people generally used a few to eat, which was relatively short, and people knelt on the ground to eat.

Seeing this strange thing at the moment, I am very uncomfortable.

"Oh! I forgot to introduce to you, this is a few invented by Zhao'er, called the round table. Li Jinong pointed to the round thing, "This is called a stool, used for meals, we have established a new rule in Chang'an Township, do not kneel for meals, but sit." ”

"Of course, if Your Majesty is not satisfied, the grass people will immediately withdraw, yes, withdraw." Lee Ki-nong's waist bent even lower.

"Hey, hey! I have to say that Li Zhao has a lot of ghost ideas. ”

Ying Zheng sighed, looked at the table and stool, became more and more curious, walked back and forth, touched it with his hand, pressed it, and looked very strong.

"Sitting?" Ying Zheng asked curiously.

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly, if"

Ying Zheng knew what Li Jinong was going to say, so he hurriedly stopped, "Follow the customs of the locals, just sit." He was not polite, and sat down in a daze, feeling very comfortable.

Li Jinong smiled with satisfaction, and immediately waved his hand to the slave behind, "Good tea!" ”

Soon, a slave came with a few in his hand, and on them were placed a lord and a goblet. Jue is used by Daqin to drink wine, that is, wine glasses, and Yao is a wine jug, which is used to hold wine.

The tea drinking culture in Daqin was not yet prevalent, so there was no specific tea drinking utensils, so Li Zhao had to use drinking utensils instead.

"This is tea!" Ying Zheng looked at the golden liquid curiously and asked.

"Yes!" Li Jinong smiled and replied cautiously, "This is Longjing tea, which was specially prepared by Zhao'er for Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will not dislike it." ”

Daqin, tea, is still in the stage of medicine, and has not yet formed a culture, so naturally Longjing tea has not yet been discovered, which Li Zhao specially bought from a department store.

Li Zhao had already figured out that the department store was as he guessed, and it could be purchased with Qin Banliang, but it was ridiculously expensive, and this little Longjing tea cost him thousands and a half taels, which was extremely expensive.

"It's also food?" Ying Zheng asked casually, this time he was stuck with Li Jinong, and his nephew didn't say whether this was a delicacy or not, but he couldn't say that he didn't know! As soon as he had an idea, he responded, "Yes, this is a delicacy transformed by the Dragon Spring, so it is called Longjing tea." ”

Dragon, the emperor is the dragon, and the spring of the dragon is only worthy of the emperor's drink.

"Dragon Spring, Dragon Well? Yes, I like it. Ying Zheng was happy before drinking, and smiled very much.

Li Jinong's smile was also very strong.

"Li Zhao, that kid, has a heart, and I don't trust him so much."

Shang Xin's father-in-law was by the emperor's side, and when he saw this scene, his eyes widened suddenly, and he said secretly: This is all right, some leaves and water mixed together is the Dragon Spring, this trick, high, really high.

He made a note of it.

"This tea is sweet in the mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance, good things, good things!" Ying Zheng drank a jue of tea, just like drinking wine, and did not forget to praise it after drinking.

"It's just, why is it a little bitter?" He frowned.

Li Jinong was stunned, in fact, this tea was just brewed by his nephew, and he had not drunk it, but his nephew said that tea is not wine, and it needs to be tasted slowly to taste the taste. In tea, there are its own ups and downs, just like life.

He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the tea needs to be tasted slowly in order to taste its true taste, maybe the first sip is sweet, the second sip is bitter, all tastes are mixed, and all kinds of things are also!" ”

"Oh! Is it? Ying Zheng came to be interested, did not finish another sip, slowly sipped, chewed carefully, and squinted his eyes, I have to say, his comprehension ability is very strong, and he quickly learned the essence of tea.

"Ups and downs, all kinds of appearances, sure enough!" After taking a few sips, Ying Zheng opened his eyes and muttered, as if he was savoring his life.

"Tea is like this, why not Chaoce? I'm wide-hearted! At this moment, Ying Zheng breathed a deep sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to have become reborn, "This is what Li Zhao's kid asked you to tell me!" ”

"Huh! After living a lifetime, I am not as good as a child who thinks clearly, I am not as good as a child! Yingzheng laughed at himself, but he was extremely happy, as for what he was happy about, no one knew, only that the emperor was happy, and they were also happy.

"Your Majesty's eyes are bright, this is exactly what Zhao'er said." Being able to add impression points to his nephew, Li Jinong is happy to do it, of course, this is really what his nephew said.

"Uh-huh! Li Zhao has a heart. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank Your Majesty, the grass people have thanked Your Majesty for your nephew." Li Jinong hurriedly bowed his hand, his eyebrows filled with joy.

Half an hour later, Li Zhao finally came out, and with him came out of the enslavements, who carried various containers and handed food to the emperor.

The food is very beautiful, but the people who set it off are a little inconsistent.

The profession of a waiter is really a bit of an eyesore, Li Zhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, but there is no way, Chang'an Township is a place of agriculture and manufacturing, and there is no need to be graceful, so naturally there is no beauty.

Fortunately, Ying Zheng's interest is not here, and his eyes have long been attracted by food.

"Hey! There is still a shortage of women in Chang'an Township! It would be great if I could get Yin Yan over, no, marry her! Li Zhao sighed secretly.

His heart for Yin Yan has never died.

However, Ying Zheng, who was looking at the dazzling array of delicacies, suddenly threw two murderous glances at Li Zhao, and his face was immediately full of murderous aura, so that the entire atmosphere that had been created instantly cooled down.

A chill seeps into the body.

Li Zhao subconsciously retreated, feeling the coolness of the emperor, and his heart jumped up, but he was very puzzled, why did His Majesty suddenly take a big turn in his attitude, wasn't he very satisfied just now?

However, the emperor's strange reaction only lasted for a moment, and soon returned to normal.

"That's what you call food?"

There are more than a dozen containers in total, and each container contains novelty gadgets, some are black and red, some are flat as the palm of the hand, and some are straight and straight, without any processing and decoration.

This is a very ordinary dish, ten or so kinds, ten not the same, but very chic.

But none of them were seen by Yingzheng, so naturally he hadn't eaten them, and he was very curious.

"Exactly!" Li Zhao introduced one by one, "This is garlic seafood. ”

Xianyang is located inland, there is very little seafood, even if it is a powerful person, but Li Zhao has a department store, many things can be bought, seafood is no exception, of course, Li Zhao also bought a lot of ingredients, and spent him a lot of half a tael.

Just like that plate of black and yellow dishes, it is barbecue, and the toppings are bought in the store.

"It's a barbecue."

It is not actually the best to use the lamb to barbecue, but Daqin is not allowed to eat cow, and the cow is not allowed to barbecue, and the mutton is generally relatively small, so it has to be difficult to use.

However, there are ingredients, especially cumin, which is naturally delicious, of course, Daqin also has barbecue-like food called burnt, but without the ingredients of the 21st century, it is impossible to have the taste of 21st century food.

In the 21st century, barbecue is more rampant, and the flavors are all raised, but the Qin people have no such feelings when they come into contact with it for the first time.

"Barbecue? A very novel alias. ”

After the waiter took the lead in tasting it, Ying Zheng immediately tasted it, and under the peculiar and delicious stimulation, he only encountered a new challenge to his sense of taste, and couldn't help nodding his head, saying in his mouth: "Good, good." ”

Ying Zheng tasted a few dishes in a row, and they were all full of joy.

He deliberately paid attention to the maize, but he couldn't see it, but the thing that was as flat as the palm of his hand was golden yellow, and the color of the maize was almost the same.

So, he tried it, and the different flavors stimulated the palate, and it was very delicious, quite delicious as maize, but it was several times better.

"Sure enough, it can be made into food, and the kid even understands the art of cooking, which is really rare."

Another round of admiration.

In this way, he experienced an unusually sumptuous dinner, no, not sumptuous, only unusually delicious, after all, it was just a very ordinary ingredient.

Ying Zheng's cuisine was over ten flavors, and he was very satisfied, but he found that everyone was waiting for him to eat, but he didn't mean to sit down.

"You're all hungry!"

Of course, the people in Chang'an Township have been busy for a day, and everyone is hungry, but the emperor has not finished eating, and they dare not say it.

Seeing that everyone didn't react, Ying Zheng naturally knew the reason, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm just a guest, don't care about me, you can also eat!" ”

"No!" Li Zhao had been waiting for the emperor's words for a long time, and he shouted and moved the same table and stool from the back room after three or five servitudes, and then moved out of several cases commonly used by Daqin.

The dishes were served one after another.

The housekeeper had already been instructed by Li Zhao to lead the waiters and guards to eat in front of a few cases, which was a common way of eating in Daqin, the waiter was the waiter, the guard was the guard, they were all separated, and the waiter and the leader of the guard were also distinguished, anyway, they all came according to class.

It's called splitting the food.

But the strange thing is that everyone in Chang'an Township does not share food according to this, but everyone sits together regardless of whether they are high or low, shouting at each other and eating, and they are nondescript.

Ying Zheng was surprised, so he summoned Li Zhao and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Li Zhao said: "This is the practice of equality in my Chang'an Township, they are all a family, regardless of whether they are high or low, and they gather and eat." ”

"Oh! Regardless of the high and the low, practice equality? Ying Zheng touched his beard that was not long, thoughtful.

Soon after, Ying Zheng left, leaving only the night to slowly descend on Chang'an Township.

The next day, Chang'an Township continued to harvest rice, and the harvest was soon finished, Li Zhao did not want to sell rice or eat it for the time being, he wanted to make an attempt, first plant hybrid rice in a small area, to see if the second generation of rice can be high-yielding, of course, this will take half a year to get results, for the three-year term, is an obstacle.

This is very difficult to do, he has thought about planting a large number of goldenrod Zhan, but that little yield is not enough to meet the needs of 20 million people in three years.

"It's a conundrum."

Suddenly, he had an idea, "Why don't you try a department store?" Thinking like this, his mind sank into his mind, and he searched for hybrid rice, but the price was also terrible, and 100,000 seeds cost 10 gold, which is no different from robbing.

"Forget it, for the sake of three years, even if you go bankrupt, you have to fight, otherwise you will wait for the emperor to kill your head."

He was ruthless and bought millions of seeds, spending most of the wealth he had accumulated during this time.

With these millions of seeds, plus the second-generation hybrid rice, it is almost 100,000 acres of land planted, I am afraid that the yield of the second-generation hybrid rice will drop sharply, but there is no way, the arrow is ready to be sent.

If the second-generation hybrid rice does not have the expected production date, then it can only spend money to buy seeds, at most Chang'an Township is a little poorer, of course, there is a paper workshop, and the poor will not be able to go there.

Therefore, from today onwards, he wants to produce paper in large quantities, but, thinking and thinking, the sales of paper will stabilize to a certain extent, and it is impossible to make a lot of money.

"There is still a need to develop new industries! What to develop? ”

"Iron smelting to make farm tools? This is to grab business with the imperial court, it is unrealistic, and it is even more impossible to manufacture weapons for sale to the outside world, not to mention that the imperial court will not allow it, just at present, it is a bottomless pit to manufacture weapons for the elite of the tiger division, and the pressure is very great! ”

He found himself under increasing pressure.

"Cooking?" He doesn't have this kung fu yet, "Forget it, take one step at a time, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”

"Let's talk about it now."

Soon, a new round of seedling planting began, and natural fertilizer workshops were mass-produced.

Another day, Li Zhao got up very late, but found that the peasants who were working seemed to be sick, and they had no strength to work, and they had to run to the thatched house from time to time.

Diarrhoea is diarrhea.

Li Zhao didn't inquire, but when he inquired, he also felt that his stomach was swollen, and after a while, his lower abdomen was anxious, and he was paralyzed, and he also had diarrhea.

This is a phenomenon that has never been seen in Chang'an Township.

Li Zhao slapped his head and almost forgot about this stubble.

The things I ate yesterday were too miscellaneous, and they were delicacy that Da Qin had never touched, so it was certain that my stomach couldn't bear it.

As a last resort, he immediately called Yangqing and asked him to prescribe some medicine and let him treat the peasants.

Yang Qing was embarrassed and said: "Young master, Qing has already decocted medicine for them, but this dysentery is very stubborn, and it can be cured by ordinary medicine, if you want to get better, it will take at least three days." ”

"Three days?" Li Zhao wanted to cry, he really had to pull his stomach for three days, and he had to collapse, let alone the peasants.

Seeing the young master's frightened expression, Yang Qing didn't care, but looked at Li Zhao with longing.

"Young master, you are a miracle doctor, why don't you prescribe a prescription?"

"I prescribe a prescription? Are you kidding? Li Zhao slandered himself.

He knows a fart, he just knows some common sense, in his previous life, as a person in the 21st century, who wouldn't? If it was a previous life, diarrhea was not a big problem, as long as you took some medicine such as Stomach Ke'an or Zhengqi Pill, but Daqin didn't have it!

Belly can be safe? Wait a minute!
