Wu Jiang said with a smile: "My teacher is very good, he often hangs a sentence in his mouth, saying 'women are half the sky', teaching us to respect and love women, and hating bad habits such as foot binding, straight is the first evil that tortures women." ”

The old emperor sighed: "It is very good that your husband has this insight, alas, when Taizu founded the country, he used to let go of his feet and strictly forbid the people to wrap their feet, but later such bad habits became popular again, and it was because of my poor education." ”

Wu Jiang, the great eunuch Lu Yueding, and the Yinxian county commander Huang Xueheng and others saw that the emperor was guilty, and they knelt down together, and the great eunuch Lu Yueding said: "Long live the Lord cares about the people, but this custom of foot-binding has lasted for thousands of years, and the previous dynasty has become a common practice. ”

Wu Jiang also kowtowed: "The villain comes from a poor countryside, but even the villagers in the ravines and ravines all say that the current saint is a good emperor, and they all look forward to the long live Lord You can sit in the country for a few more years." ”

The old emperor was quite interested, and the great eunuch Lu Yueding said: "This time I went to Houlong Village to reward Mr. Houlong, let you go, and it can be regarded as letting you return to your hometown." You and Mr. Houlong can also be called fellow countrymen, and they just happened to be with him, what is the secret of this health preservation, and the widow also learns. ”

The great eunuch Lu Yue was overjoyed, the rules of the Great Li Dynasty, the eunuch did not go out of Beijing without a purpose, the old emperor gave himself a great grace, and was busy kneeling down to thank him, Huang Xueheng was well-behaved, and said: "The lower official will choose a day to visit Gonggong Lu and discuss the matter of rewarding, and always do this matter properly, lively, and be sure to let all the people in the world know that it is the benevolence and love of the people of the saint today, which is the heavenly bean auspicious." ”

The old emperor thought about it, originally he didn't approve of disturbing the people too much, but thinking that because of the recent Zen concession, the government and the opposition have been in some turmoil, and it is good to have a god bean auspicious Rui Chong Chongxi, so he nodded and agreed, but ordered that all the expenses should be paid from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the finances of the user department should not be moved.

After all, the old emperor has some upper grades, after experiencing the unexpected joy of this god bean, he was a little tired, yawned a few times, the great eunuch Lu Yue was busy arranging for the old emperor to sleep, and the old emperor specially told the gardeners in the imperial garden to continue to use jade bottle water purification to promote the growth of the god beans, and the acres in the imperial garden were not large enough, so they were transferred to the royal farm in Beijing, and they must be cultivated in the shortest possible time, and they were given to the prince's grandson and high-ranking officials, and they were planted before the spring of the next year.

After all, the old emperor represents the interests of the big landlord class, although he loves the people, but as soon as he gets the beans, he still thinks about planting for the big landlords first, not like Guo Dalu, first handing over the beans to the farmers who have lost their land, a small move, making a judgment, in Guo Dalu's heart, the people are the capitalized "people", and no matter how diligent the old emperor is to love the people, he only thinks that the people are the "people" under his management, and they are slaves.

When the great eunuch Lu Yue was serving the old emperor, he quietly glanced at Huang Xueheng, Huang Xueheng understood, and hurriedly led Wu Jiang to retreat.

This place in the capital has always been mixed with dragons and snakes, and the news is extremely well-informed, even if there is no mobile phone network, some topics are running fast, and this is not the next day, some of the things that happened in the inner palace yesterday have been spread to the streets and alleys.

The two uncles carried the cage bird to meet at the mouth of the alley, and naturally there was a cold hustle and bustle, did you eat? Good weather today, hahaha. Then meet to go to the teahouse. This early morning to go to the teahouse, originally a habit of southerners, the so-called morning leather bag water, evening water ****, but with a large number of southern scholars into the court, this habit has affected the people of the capital who are mainly northerners.

The two uncles were Zhang Si and Li San, and the two entered the teahouse, and as soon as they lifted the curtain, a stream of heat gushed out from inside, and Zhang Si smiled and said: "Shout, shopkeeper, are you willing to put a brazier today? I almost froze my master to death a few days ago." ”

Li San said: "The windows around this tea house are closed, and although the brazier is warm, this smoke can burn people." ”

The shopkeeper saw that there were two old customers, and he hurriedly greeted him: "Zhang Ye, Li Ye, which two of you are early, the old rule, first give the two of you a pot of good ramen tea, and then two small cages, a thousand pieces of silk, in addition, the shop recently learned a few new foods from the south, there are preserved eggs, salted eggs, duck blood vermicelli soup, fried buns, hand cakes, scallion oil cakes, the preserved eggs are also called Songhua eggs, peel out the shell, and there are exquisite patterns like chrysanthemums and pines on the egg skin, so it is called Songhua eggs. ”

Zhang Si was already drooling, and said one after another: "Then what are you waiting for?

Li San said: "I have seen these new snacks in Wangjiang Tower, could it be that the shopkeeper has also hired a chef from Wangjiang Tower in Yinxian County? I heard that the chef from Wangjiang Tower's chef class is going to work under the name of Wangjiang Tower for five years, how did he come to your store to make a living?"

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed: "Don't hide the two old guests, the real chef from the chef class of Wangjianglou, where can a small family like me afford to invite it? My preserved eggs and other food are actually wholesaled from the snow sugar shop under the name of Wangjiang Tower and Houlong Village, which is considered to be a taste for all the old customers, and it is a little less than two small dollars. ”

Zhang Si and Li San each ordered a few new dim sum, brought them up, smelled the aroma, and moved their fingers, Li San first tore and ate a piece of scallion pancake, but shook his head: "This scallion pancake has to be fresh out of the pot to be delicious, dripping with oil, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, this wholesale must have been reheated in the steamer, but the taste is a little worse." ”

Zhang Si ate happily: "Wangjianglou's new dishes, mostly fried and fried in oil, are now busy everywhere with vegetable oil, tea seed oil, and so on next year, vegetable oil will enter the homes of ordinary people, you and I can also eat delicious at home." ”

Li San looked around: "Speaking of which, why didn't I see the fire plate? I was still worried about the smoke and smoke just now, but I didn't see the fire plate when I sat on the tea party." ”

Zhang Siyi looked, hey, there is really no brazier, but the room is as warm as spring, his sharp eyes saw a round half-person tall iron guy standing high in the center of the teahouse, with an iron pipe leading to the top of the building, his eyes turned and patted his thighs: "Hey, I know, it turns out that this teahouse uses a heating stove!"

Li Sandao: "The heating stove you are talking about is the white iron heating stove that circulated in the inner palace yesterday? I heard that the stove is made of black stone, which is extremely warm, and there is an iron smoke barrel to guide the smoke outdoors, so there is no trace of fireworks indoors." (To be continued.) )
