Chapter 281: Diligent and Inquisitive

Feeling Qin Shou's strange gaze, Shangguan Yi hurriedly explained: "Sir, what I'm talking about is not to die studying, not not to study. ”

"The difference between one word and a thousand differences!"

Qin Shou gently touched Nini's head and said with a smile: "Don't listen to him, you see that he hasn't even taken the Ming Jing exam now." ”

"But what Shangguan Yi said also makes sense, don't die studying, Nini must study diligently and ask questions when she is studying."

Nini nodded thoughtfully.

"Then Nini shouldn't call Brother Shangguan an elder brother?"

Qin Shou smiled and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Shangguan Yi suddenly felt a bad feeling, as if his status was crumbling and he had fallen to the bottom.

Nini said solemnly: "Because I call you Big Brother, but Shangguan Yi is also called Mr. Big Brother, so you can count it." ”

"Brother Shangguan should call Aunt Nini."

Fang Yaoyi was amused by Nini's words, and covered her mouth to eat and laugh.

Qin Shou: "......"

Shangguan Yi looked at Qin Shou humbly, but was ignored by the latter.

Qin Shou touched his chin thoughtfully and said, "That's true. ”

Nini said that it is indeed reasonable, so calculated, her seniority is higher than Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi looked desperate and held his forehead in pain.

He heard, a voice that was gradually humbling his status.

Qin Shou's voice sounded again: "What does Nini want to call Shangguan Yi?" ”

Nini pouted and said with a tangled face: "Nini thinks that Brother Shangguan is called Shunkou." ”

Shangguan Yi's eyes lit up.

Nini suddenly seemed to have made up her mind, and said firmly: "Big sister said that Nini must learn to overcome difficulties!" ”

"So Nini has to try to change her mind!"

Shangguan Yi picked up for no reason, and almost didn't fall to the ground.

No, you're not using this insistence in the wrong place!

Qin Shou was also amused by Nini's firm face and waving her little fist, he gently touched Nini's head and said with a smile: "Okay, good, Nini has to work hard!" ”

"But the big brother still has some things to do, so I won't play with Nini for now."

With that, Qin Shou beckoned to Shangguan Yi, and then led him to a corner of the courtyard.

Shangguan Yi was confused.

Qin Shou pointed to the bluestone slab that was paved and said, "Pry it open." ”

Shangguan Yi: "??? ”

"Sir, I can't pry it."

Qin Shou frowned and said, "Then go and call some people to pry open the four bluestone slabs around here." Shangguan Yi was completely stunned.

What is this going to do, sir?

Seeing that Qin Shou was about to raise his sleeves, Shangguan Yi hurriedly ran away, and after a while, he led a few subordinates over.

"Sir, where did you say to dig?"

Qin Shou was speechless, and pointed to the bluestone slab again.

Fang Xiaoshang didn't say a word, and took a few subordinates to roll up his sleeves and was busy.

Soon, the bluestone slab was pried open, revealing the soil underneath.

Qin Shou grabbed a hoe casually, pushed away the bluestone slab crumbs on it, and loosened the soil.

He picked up the potatoes again, carefully sliced them with a blade, and put them in the exposed soil, ready to be cultivated in the soil.

"What do you want to do, husband?"

Fang Yaoyi looked at this place in surprise and asked.

Qin Shou smiled slightly: "Plant potatoes." ”

Although the potatoes don't look good, and even have potholes, who would have thought that such an unsightly thing could bring epoch-making significance to Datang?

After the potatoes are cultivated.

It just so happened that Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling walked into the house with a smile.

"What is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doing?"

Du Ruhui looked at this scene with a shocked face, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to demolish the palace and sell it for money?

"So you want to study farming?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't seem to be such a diligent person, what's going on today?"

Fang Xuanling looked at Qin Shou and asked happily.

Qin Shou shrugged helplessly, and then told all the things related to potatoes.

After listening to Qin Shou's words, Du Ruhui frowned and said: "This is true, can this thing called potatoes really be used as rations?" ”

Qin Shou smiled: "Master Du, have I ever done anything that I am not sure of?" ”

After Du Ruhui heard Qin Shou's words, he thought so.

In this way, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done many things that seem unbelievable to others, if you really look at the results, everything seems to end with the results he wants.

It's just that this unsightly thing, can it really be made into food when it is planted?

Qin Shou arched his hand and said, "Let's go to the main hall to chat, it's time for dinner." ”

Du Ruhui and the others came with the intention of having a drink with Qin Shou, and when they saw Qin Shou say this, they naturally responded.

The three of them walked to the main hall.

Qin Shou instructed the kang to prepare for food.

"Your Highness said that this potato was obtained from the Fuso people?"

Du Ruhui looked at the yellow potatoes in front of him, and frowned slightly: "If that's the case, I have a few familiar friends from Fusang, and they happen to be in Chang'an recently, so I can help inquire." ”

Qin Shou thanked: "This is naturally good." ”

Seeing that the two of them still had doubts, Qin Shou took the initiative to stand up and said, "In this way, I will take this potato to make some food, and the two of you will know after tasting it." ”

With that, Qin Shou picked up a potato and walked to the back kitchen.

There are more than a dozen potatoes brought by the Fuso people, and there are also potatoes sold in the system mall, so the seeds are not a problem.

As long as you have money, you can have as much as you want.

Not long after, Qin Shou walked over with a plate of vinegared shredded potatoes.

The shredded potatoes are golden in color, but unfortunately there were no chili peppers at that time, which was a bit of a fly in the ointment.

Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling couldn't wait, so they hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, picked up the shredded potatoes and sent them to their mouths.

The vinegared shredded potatoes are delicious, sweet and sour, with a cool taste and appetizing taste.

Du Ruhui also called it delicious, and then picked up the wine cup and drank a glass of wine.

"I didn't expect these potatoes to really be used as food."

Qin Shou smiled and handed another plate of fried potato chips to Nini, and then said, "This potato can not only be used as a dish, steamed directly, but also eaten as a staple food. ”

"And this potato is durable, so I thought I would try it at home first, and if the yield is large, I plan to promote it near Chang'an."

Du Ruhui's eyes were serious, and he stood up to bow down, but Qin Shou hurriedly stopped him.

Du Ruhui took a deep breath and said seriously: "His Royal Highness the Prince, who is dedicated to the people, should be worshiped by the ministers. ”

Du Ruhui had a trace of sadness on his face and said: "It's a pity that the minister is old and frail now, and he can't do anything in his official position, and he eats the court's money in vain." ”

"Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, the minister is even more guilty."

Due to his ill health a few days ago, Du Ruhui intended to resign and return home and no longer participate in political affairs.

But Li Shimin rejected Du Ruhui's request, but gave him a quiet official position, although it was so, but it was only a nominal name and did not need to act, but it was issued according to the Yipin Lu.

Qin Shou looked at Du Ruhui, who was full of sideburns and white hair, and then looked at Fang Xuanling, and sighed slightly.

These heroes who have done their best for the Tang Dynasty are now old.

And look at the future courtiers of the Tang Dynasty.
