Chapter 55: Sweet Potatoes and Peppers

This time, Zhang was sloppy and not pretentious.

The three of them packed up their things and hired a carriage to rush to Jinling.

Zhu Yunwen was a little worried: "Senior brother, will anyone recognize me?" ”

"Don't worry, with your current appearance, even if Li Jinglong is in person, he will definitely not recognize your identity." Li Qing said with a smile, "Jianwen is dead, it is everyone's consensus. ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded, looked back at Qingshan, who had lived for more than 20 years, and sighed softly.

The little old man was open-minded, not a little sentimental, still so open-minded, lying in the sedan car and falling asleep.

……

Hurry up and hurry, and finally returned to Jinling City on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Chinese New Year's Eve.

Li Qing told the true identities of the three daughters Zhang Sloppy and Zhu Yunwen, they were shocked at first, and then relieved.

The three daughters served tea, Zhang Sloppy experienced the feeling of being an elder, enjoying the joy of family, the old man was rare and serious, and each of the three apprentices and daughters-in-law had a solid Peiyuan pill.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Li Qing moved in and prepared fireworks and set them off in the courtyard.

"Zizi ~ Tutu... Bang bang bang ......"

Fireworks rush into the sky, and the dark night sky explodes with gorgeous petals......

However, fireworks are easy to get cold, and beauty is always short-lived.

After the New Year, Li Qing went to the yamen, saying that the two were his long-lost cousins, and arranged a reasonable identity for them.

With Li Qing's current status, this is just a matter of one sentence.

After doing this, Li Qing really relaxed and lived a leisurely retirement life.

played chess with the third daughter, took Zhu Yunwen out to appreciate the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and went to the opera garden with Li Jinglong to listen to the drama and drink.

Sometimes my skin is itchy, so I try it with Master, but I am beaten badly every time.

Calm, laid-back, and cozy......

During this period, Li Jinglong met Zhu Yunwen many times, but did not recognize his identity, and the latter had long been relieved, and he was relieved to be pitted in the past.

Xu is there is an indescribable and unexplained fate in the dark, Li Jinglong and Zhu Yunwen have become friends, and the two sometimes go to the play behind Li Qing's back.

Life is very pleasant, and Li Qing cherishes every day.

Although Nan Zhili has no real power, the changes in the Jingshi Dynasty will be transmitted here as soon as possible, and it is difficult for Li Qing to inquire about Li Jinglong's bag.

In the third year of Xuande, at the beginning of the first month.

The Three Treasures of the West finally returned, not only bringing huge wealth to the Ming Dynasty, but also bringing back Xuande potatoes.

Li Qing was happy when he learned about it, and at the same time, he was also speechless.

This grandson is really bad, he doesn't talk about martial arts at all, and he is not afraid that the fourth child will give him a dream.

It's changed, it's really changed.

The full opening of the sea, the early introduction of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn have completely changed history.

These things fundamentally solve the problem.

As the old saying goes: the people take food as the sky.

With sufficient food, the people will not go hungry, and the country will naturally stabilize.

The people are the most content, their requirements are really low, as long as they do not starve and have clothes to wear, it is enough.

They are simple, hardworking, and all they want is food and clothing.

Li Qing was really happy, and showed off to Zhang Sloppy: "Master, you said that the general trend is irreversible, isn't this my reversal?" ”

In exchange, it was Zhang Sloppy White Eyes, "The general trend of the teacher is the dynastic structure and the hearts of the class, not what you think;

Of course, you are also the general trend, but it is not to change the general trend, but to create the general trend. ”

"Anyway, disciple, I did it." Li Qingyang was proud.

Zhang sloppy smiled and nodded: "Well, you did a good job." ”

The old man rarely praised him so formally, and he was as happy as a child.

……

At the end of the first month.

Sam Bao Lai Jinling.

The former teenager is now an old man.

Full of white hair, full of vicissitudes of life, the furrows on the face are very deep, although the smile is still like yesterday, full of positive energy; However, in the end, it is mixed with a strong sense of twilight.

Sanbao is a little younger than Li Jinglong, but he looks much older than Li Jinglong.

These years of sailing career have seriously overdrawn his body.

Looking at such three treasures, Li Qing was inexplicably distressed.

I haven't seen each other for many years, but now I don't know where to speak, I sighed for a long time, and finally asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Sambo smiled and nodded.

"Let's go, let's go inside." Li Qing took Sanbao's hand and walked into the house, "We haven't been together for a long time, we have to have a drink today." ”

It rained for several days in Jinling a few days ago, and the air was filled with dampness and coldness, so Li Qing asked people to bring hot pot, the soup was gurgling and tumbling, and the meat slices were up and down, steaming, and there was a feeling of early summer.

"You're welcome, it's like being in your own home." Li Qing was warmly entertained.

"Hey, okay." Sanbao smiled and picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of shabu-shabu, and praised: "Delicious, you can't eat this on the boat." ”

Li Qing's voice was gentle: "If you like to eat, eat more, your trip to the sea is very good, and it is really too hard, you have been adrift at sea for so long, you have to rest." ”

"The emperor gave me a long vacation." Sambo raised his glass with a smile.

"That's good!" Li Qing raised his glass and touched him, and said with a smile, "Since you have a long vacation, let's stay in Jinling, let's have a lively time." ”

Sanbao is old and has no heirs, Li Qing doesn't want him to be alone.

Sanbao smiled: "I'm not here this time to visit my husband, but also for official business." ”

"What official business?" Li Qing was puzzled, "Didn't you say that the emperor gave you a holiday?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just to help the emperor fulfill the gambling contract." San Bao smiled and said, "The emperor is happy with the dragon son, and said that he lost a thousand taels of gold for you, and ordered me to send it to you." ”

"Dragon...... It can't be Zhu Qizhen, right? Li Qing muttered.

"......" You are the only one who dares to speak outright about the name of the quasi-prince, and Sanbao exclaimed: "Mr. is really a god, this can be counted." ”

"Ahaha...... I have seen the words of Taizong's lineage, and when it comes to the prince's generation, the last word is exactly the turn of Jin, and 'town' has the meaning of suppression, but I didn't expect it to be guessed by me. ”

Li Qing snorted.

Sanbao didn't delve into it, and said: "Seeing that Mr. was heartfelt, as soon as he entered the Jinling realm, he rushed first, and the gold was still behind, by the way, in addition to gold, Sanbao also prepared a gift for Mr. ”

"Hey~ We're all our own people, and it's time to give gifts." Li Qing pretended to be dissatisfied.

San Bao smiled: "It's not a valuable thing, it's just some condiments." ”

"Condiments?" Li Qing asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

"Xuande pepper." "It tastes similar to ginger and wasabi, but it has a more spicy flavor and a better taste." ”

Chili pepper?

Li Qing's eyes lit up: This is a hot pot must, the people of Yunguichuan are blessed;

But... Zhu Zhanji's guy is really the same as his grandfather, and it doesn't matter if it's appropriate or not, he will put on his own year name when he comes up, which is really worthy of being a grandfather;

Alas... It's a pity that the little fat has a hard life, otherwise it would be called Hong Xijiao.

Li Qing had some regrets.

"Isn't it fiery red, with seeds in it?" Li Qing asked.

"Hmm." Sambo exclaimed again, "Sir, you are truly a god. ”

"Huh...... I've seen it in books. ”

"I see," Sambo was relieved, and then asked, "Do you know any other crops, sir?" ”

Li Qing thought for a while, "There are also red persimmons, but they are not our Ming persimmons, it is not like fruits, it is more like vegetables, it can be eaten raw, stir-fried, or made into soup;

It is also a high-yield crop, however, the disadvantage is that it cannot be like Yongle beans, Yongle rice, Yongle ... Xuande potatoes can be stored for a long time. ”

Speaking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but slander: It's really embarrassing to scream, it's better to call potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes;

If one day, tomato is introduced into Daming, it won't be called Xuande tomato, or Xuande persimmon, right? That's damn!

The Three Treasures secretly wrote it down, and said in their hearts: If you can still go to sea in this life, you will definitely find this thing.

A wine was drunk until noon, and gold was delivered.

Li Qing didn't care too much, but was very tight about the sacks of dried red peppers, thinking that the next time he ate hot pot, he would definitely have a perverted spicy one.

In the afternoon, Li Qing took Sanbao to wander around the city and told him about the current prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Qing said seriously: "The Ming Dynasty has today's prosperity, and you have contributed a lot to the Three Treasures. ”

"Sir, I praised it."

"Huh? I'm telling the truth. Li Qing said with a smile, "The emperor has made it clear that he will ask the historian to repair a copy of "The Biography of Zheng He" one day, write your great achievements, and pass them on to future generations." ”

The vicissitudes of Sanbao's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, "Really? ”

"Of course, when I came back, the "Taizong Record" was already being repaired, and you were among them." Li Qing nodded.

Sanbao was happily moved, "Taizong treats me well. ”

You don't treat them lightly...... Li Qingxin said.
