When the hot air balloon of the tour group is ready to take off, the ‘radio’ on Zhang Xiaobao’s body rang beeping, Wang Juan translated the content as quickly as possible Well, look at each other with Zhang Xiaobao, with infinite surprises in their eyes.

Full-text novel

“I’m back, the people who went to North America are finally back, we can eat serious Sichuan-style hot pot in the future, and we can also make scrambled eggs with tomatoes for Xiaobei and the others, as well as my cigarettes, roasted sweet potatoes, and roasted sweet potatoes. Potatoes, and…”

Zhang Xiaobao’s first thought was to eat.

Wang Juan also nodded, she also knew the value of the things the team brought back, which would add a lot of dishes to the tables of the people of the Tang Dynasty, especially potatoes, which can be stored for a long time. Like cabbage, peppers are not only It can make people feel good in taste and has certain medicinal properties.

Touching the head of Xiao Bei who was standing beside him, Wang Juan said to her: “Xiao Bei, I’ll eat popcorn soon, and pancakes made of corn flour, eat salted fish, people walking outside, dry food. The variety will be much richer.”

“What is corn? Is it delicious with rice pops?” Becky stuck out her tongue and licked her lips.

“It’s corn. Anyway, there are many names. It can be cooked as a snack. Orders, suspend travel, and let Shuiyun send some seeds.”

Wang Juan is really difficult to explain to Xiaobei. The kind comes directly, and the order is issued immediately.

The long-distance traveler who just returned to Jili State slept beautifully. According to the order, he packed a lot of strange seeds, tied them to Shuiyun’s feet, and released them into the sky.

While waiting, Zhang Xiaobao thought of Li Bai again.

Recently, Li Bai wrote a lot of poems for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to read, hoping to get their appreciation and a satisfactory position, but the results were not very good.

Before Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were going to travel this time, a Sicang from Jili Prefecture was arranged for him to join the army. He was considered a sixth-rank official, not too small or not, but he still had a lot of regrets compared to his longing for the capital.

Now that he knew that a new variety was coming, in order to keep it well, Zhang Xiaobao didn’t plan to let Li Bai continue to manage the warehouse. He was afraid that if Li Bai drank too much one day, he would kill the newly obtained seeds, and there would be no place to cry.

When he found Li Bai who was also packing his luggage, Zhang Xiaobao said to him very directly: “Young Master Li, now there are two official positions for you to choose again, one is to be the county magistrate in Jian’an, and I will give you a task to lead the people of Jian’an in the greenhouse. A new kind of thing is planted in the middle,

this greenhouse is a glass greenhouse, and it is no longer simple.”

Li Bai listened carefully, heard Zhang Xiaobao talking about new things, a little curious, but did not want to stay, only a hundred Can a county with a large population still be called a county?

Even planting smallpox is useless.

Then he asked, “What about the second option?”

“The second option is to go to Beijing to become an official. You go to Jili Prefecture first, pick up a few seeds there, bring them with you when you return to the capital, and then go directly to Sinong Temple to let them go. The people are good, and your official position is also in Sinong Temple, um… just be a garden supervisor, and set up a new garden, what is it called… Oh, let’s call it the Imported Garden, do you think it is?”

Zhang Xiaobao thought of it temporarily. New name and new department, asked Li Bai.

Li Bai made a slight estimate and knew that the new official position was a sixth-rank official, with some real power, and he was also a Beijing official. He had not yet considered whether this official position was as his own, but he had a new understanding of the capabilities of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. .

Listening to Zhang Xiaobao’s words, it can be seen that there is no imported garden in Sinong Temple. Zhang Xiaobao is going to make one. He looks so sure, as if he said that Sinong Temple is like Sinong Temple. Come over one.

Feeling Zhang Xiaobao’s strength, Li Bai temporarily believed that Zhang Xiaobao could successfully set up a garden in Sinong Temple for him to manage, but when he thought about it again, he found that no matter what kind of garden, his official was a little too small, and he had to farm the land, so he couldn’t help but face Difficult to reveal.

As soon as Zhang Xiaobao saw Li Bai’s expression, he knew what the other party was thinking, and he felt very uncomfortable.

This was given by looking at the name of the other party Shixian.

“Which one does Mr. Li think is more suitable?” Zhang Xiaobao asked eagerly.

“Can I change the place?” Li Bai was reluctant to study farming.

“Then either go to the Ministry of Rites and become a secretary, and also a sixth-rank official.” Zhang Xiaobao thought about giving another official position.

Li Bai lowered his head and thought for a while, but the expression on his face was still the same as before. It seemed that the Ministry of Rites was not very good.

“If the Ministry of Rites can’t be done, go to the Ministry of Households and become a seven-rank official.” Zhang Xiaobao is now thinking about new varieties, and he needs to send Li Bai out quickly.

The Ministry of Household is a very important department in charge of money. You can also see Shangshu for everything. It is convenient to contact. It is a good place, but the rank has dropped.

Li Bai gritted his teeth and asked, “Can you be a middle-ranking officer?”

“What do you think?” Zhang Xiaobao asked back, he knew that Li Bai wanted to be a middle-ranking officer of various ministries, a fifth-rank official, and the kind that could go to the early court. , This is purely a joke, it’s not that it can’t be arranged, but how could you, Li Bai, want to jump directly to the important position of the fifth grade?

Li Bai also felt that his request was too much, but he was full of expectations. After thinking about it, he said, “It’s still a matter of course.”

This is how he replied, but what Li Bai thought was to enter the capital and find a way to meet the capital. After getting acquainted with him, ask him to help recommend him. If it doesn’t work, use Zhang Xiaobao’s one again, and then slowly look for opportunities.

Zhang Xiaobao specializes in the study of human psychology. How can he not know what Li Bai is thinking? Li Bai’s eyes move, and Zhang Xiaobao knows the other party’s little abacus from it. Who dares to intervene?

Not to mention officials of various ministries, even if it is bigger, it is not enough, didn’t I see Zhang said that this Chinese book order was all taken down.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaobao smiled secretly, took Li Bai into the room, spread out the paper, researched the ink well, and wrote on it with a pen, “Recommendation, Li Bai and Li Taibai are the ministers of the Ministry of Household. discussion.

Zhang Xiaobao.

‘

In a few simple words, Li Bai’s official is given, and a new position will be discussed after the evaluation next year.

Li Bai thought that Zhang Xiaobao would try to compliment him, and write the reasons for the recommendation, which made people think that it should not be bad.

Looking at the still-dry ink, he asked worriedly, “Is that right?”

“That’s right.” Zhang Xiaobao put down his pen, picked up his own seal, and covered it up. Printing has long since become a habit. Li Longji is so stubborn that he just shuts down officials, and he is not responsible for other things such as clothes, printing letters, and so on.

“Who will I show it to after I arrive in the capital?” Li Bairu didn’t think this letter could achieve its purpose, it was too simple to write.

Zhang Xiaobao put down the pen and blew the ink, “You can show it to anyone, as long as you go to the place where the Beijing officials are doing business, and take it out, anyone who sees it will take you to see the person who arranges the location. The officials in charge of officials can do it. It’s no problem to go to the official household department, or just let Li… Your Majesty see the same and arrange it for you.

Go, don’t forget to help bring the seeds when you pass by Jili Prefecture, I will write another letter to Si Nong Temple, let them set up an imported garden, oh, after you get to the capital, you can ask about Wang Wei, he writes poems well.”

After speaking, Zhang Xiaobao casually put the new folds into Li Bai’s hands, even if Done.

Li Bai held the letter in his hand and watched Zhang Xiaobao go out, his face was blank. He always felt that Zhang Xiaobao agreed too easily, saying that when he was a Beijing official, he would be a Beijing official, and it came a little quickly.

He looked at the letter in his hand again, took a deep breath, and then spit it out slowly, he had to treat the dead horse as a living Malay doctor, and try it after entering Beijing.

Bowing his head, he walked out with infinite sadness. He looked up just to see Zhang Xiaohai, who was squatting there, writing and drawing on the snow. Li Bai found that in the days of contact, Xiaohai was silent for too long, compared to his sister. Xiaobei was a lot worse, and curiously leaned over to see what Xiaohai wrote.

When he saw what Xiaohai wrote, Li Bai was confused again and couldn’t understand it at all, because what Xiaohai wrote was ‘Let the side length be X, the area be Y, 2Y=Z….

‘

What’s the mess, ghost painting?

Xiaohai didn’t notice Li Bai’s arrival at all, and was still thinking and calculating there. If it were Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan’s people at that time, they would definitely shout geniuses, but unfortunately Li Bai was not.

“Hey~ I have to ask my sister how to eliminate yuan.” Xiao Hai calculated for a while, but found that he couldn’t calculate it, and his face wrinkled and muttered.

“What are you writing?” Li Bai asked in confusion.

“You don’t understand, but brother has arranged for you?” Xiaohai said a few words unexpectedly.

Li Bai nodded.

“Then do it well, don’t think of it as a junior official, listen to my brother and sister, my father studied hard in the cold window for more than ten years, passed the exam, and was only a seventh-rank junior official first. If you dare to give My brother is slandering, and I will ask my sister to impeach you together.”

Xiaohai said a lot today, especially to outsiders.

Li Bai was obviously in a bad mood. He was threatened by a child. What do you mean?

Do you despise yourself?

Li Bai didn’t respond at the moment, turned around and left, but he was really scared. He was afraid that nine children would jointly impeach him. No kidding.

Li Bai left with the expectation in his heart. Under the protection of the four people, he went to the seaside to take a boat, then transferred to Jili Prefecture and took the seeds into Beijing.

Shuiyun also came, not by himself, but also with a companion, a big red eagle, one white and one red flying very conspicuously in the sky, named Hongluan, a fairy bird, in Zhang Ying’s eyes, also Only the fairy bird can match the water cloud.

The two eagles brought a package. Judging from the traces, they should have stopped and rested on the way. The bottom of the package was snow and ice, and it was also stained with soil and some kind of animal blood stains left by the two eagles when they ate.

Zhang Xiaobao just looked at the package and didn’t rush to open it. Instead, he touched Shuiyun’s head and said to him, “Congratulations, you’re looking for a good one. I’ve never seen a red eagle before. You have to say

hello to the child, don’t fall to death.”

Seeming to understand Zhang Xiaobao’s words, Shui Yunong rubbed his head on Zhang Xiaobao’s face, and the sharp mouth made people afraid to look at it.

Xiaobei asked someone to kill a deer and sent it to Shuiyun. He also said, “When we have a baby, our children’s team will catch bugs. It’s better to have more than 100 of them. We must work hard.”

Waiting for Shuiyun to bring Hongluan After going to eat, Zhang Xiaobao opened the package. There were sprouted sweet potatoes and potatoes in it. I thought it was caused by the high temperature on the boat. It was just dug down and sent to the greenhouse for planting. In addition to these two, there were also coffee beans. and cocoa.

“Let someone send it to Luzhou to plant.” Zhang Xiaobao picked out two things, but Jian’an couldn’t plant them.

Next is a dozen ears of corn, a lot of peppers, a pack of very poorly sun-dried tobacco and seeds, half a plate of hairy nibbling, that is, sunflower seeds, and washed tomato seeds, it looks like The harvest is not small, as for the wood and other samples, no samples were sent, it is estimated that they are afraid that they will be tired.

Wang Juan also followed, and wondered: “I remember a few things from South America, don’t they have no past?”

“You remembered wrong, come here Xiaobei, go to prepare the seasoning for Mala Tang, and make one for you. The real Mala Tang.” Zhang Xiaobao replied to Wang Juan, picked up those peppers and instructed Xiaobei who was also curiously watching.

Xiao Bei snorted twice and shook his head, “Do you want to eat this? Let’s keep it as seeds.”

“The seeds inside are not the skin on the outside, so you can eat them.” Zhang Xiaobao squeezed a little pepper and put it in his mouth Taste, stick out your tongue and explain to Beckham.

“Oh, something good to eat.” Xiaobei cheered and hurried to make arrangements.

Zhang Xiaobao took advantage of this time to call the people in the county and the people left behind, and complemented Wang Juan to introduce the planting methods of several crops. They can’t wait until next year to manage the Turks. As for future plans, they have to wait for the local people to decide. Let’s talk about crops.

Soon, Xiaobei prepared everything properly, and brought all the seasonings and things to be eaten. The only thing missing was the mountain pepper seedlings. With real peppers, there is no substitute for it.

Zhang Xiaobao put a lot of chili peppers in a grid, and then fried chili oil, combined with pepper oil and sesame sauce, and you can eat it when the water boils.

After Xiaobei blew the fire hard, the water finally tumbled, and before he could eat it, the smell of chili got into his nose first.

“Ah, it’s so spicy.” Xiaobei sneezed hard and said with red eyes.

The other group of people who smelled the smell also nodded. It turned out that they thought that onion, ginger, garlic, and mountain pepper seedlings were enough to be spicy, but only today did they realize what spicy is.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan swallowed at the same time, only the two of them knew the deliciousness of chili peppers. Zhang Xiaobao stuffed a large amount of bean skin into the grid, rinsed it vigorously, and when the bean skin softened, took it out and distributed it to nine Brother and sister, pour some chili oil and pepper oil on top.

“Eat it, I’ll make boiled meat slices and boiled fish for you in the future.”

Xiaobei nodded twice, put his nose close to smell, the smell of red oil and sesame oil mixed together, and it felt fragrant before eating, and took a deep breath. Breathe, prepare for being spicy first, then carefully pick up a bunch of bean skins and put it in your mouth.

In less than two seconds, Xiaobei’s eyes suddenly became larger, and the movement of his hands stopped. In another two seconds, Xiaobei pulled the stick off and chewed vigorously, and sweat was evident on his forehead, even with the movement of his mouth. He didn’t stop, waited for something to be swallowed, opened his mouth, exhaled, and said in a vague voice:

“Okay, it’s spicy, I want that soup, give me some soup, it’s comfortable, really comfortable, hot. ”

You still drink soup when it’s spicy?” Xiaoyuan hadn’t eaten it, and was obviously frightened by Xiaobei’s reaction.

“What do you know, you want to eat more and more. If you dare not cooperate with me in the future, I will irrigate you with chili water to let you know how powerful it is.” Xiaobei suddenly thought of a good solution.

Zhang Xiaobao was stunned for a moment, looked at Wang Juan, and said, “It seems that Xiaobei in our family is really talented. He knows the trick of pouring pepper water, but I have never tried to pour this thing through the nose.

” It can treat colds.” Wang Juan said.

Xiaoyuan watched Xiaobei sizzle while eating fiercely, and finally couldn’t help but taste it, and turned out to be the same as Xiaobei, the more spicy he wanted to eat.

Others also came to taste it, including the people in the county, all of them felt that this thing was magical.

Seeing that they had eaten almost the same, Zhang Xiaobao stopped his younger siblings and gave each of them a large bowl of mung bean porridge, fearing that the stomach would be spoiled.

“It’s a pity that there are no green pepper seeds.” Zhang Xiaobao said regretfully.

“It was cultivated later, and bell peppers will appear when grafted with tomatoes. When the tomatoes grow more, they can be made into tomato sauce, and there will be an extra fish in tomato

sauce. Pack up and get ready to go.”

When something came, Wang Juan’s mind was put on Turk.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, “Okay, let’s arrange it right away. Let’s bake a stalk of corn for them to taste. The fleet has brought back a lot. By next year, we will release it in our restaurant and see the effect.”

“Then why not? As long as it is not popular, new things will inevitably become luxury goods, smoking is harmful to health, and you are not allowed to smoke more if you have cigarettes.”

Wang Juan seems to be very disgusted with other people’s smoking.

“I’m going to make cigars, not cigarettes, and no fertilizers. Oh, and there’s no such good fertilizers right now. I’ve decided that in order to help the people of Silla get rich, not only should I put all kinds of smelters in Silla, They have to plant the tobacco on their fertile soil, it looks like cabbage before drying, it looks green and gratifying.”

Zhang Xiaobao’s expression turned into a kind of compassionate look with the words, sacred and inviolable.

After Xiaobei and others tasted roasted corn and decided to eat corn all day when the output of corn rose next year, the tour group finally lifted off slowly and went to a distant place for sightseeing.

Before Li Bai arrived in Jilizhou, Jilizhou had already sent a fast boat to Dengzhou, and a large package of things was sent to the capital by a fast horse from Dengzhou, the speed was only slower than the 800-mile emergency report. A little bit.

When Zhang Xiaobao’s tour group continued to float in the sky, packages of goods were delivered to the Zhuangyuan Building, and the cooks in the Zhuangyuan Building started to make food according to the method written in the letter that came with the package.

In fact, there are two kinds of things that can be made, pepper and corn. Some corns are still a little blue, and some are already golden. It is very difficult to preserve them.

At the end of the morning the next day, when Li Longji was preparing for lunch, the food delivery person from the Zhuangyuan Building went outside the palace. After a series of inspections, the food box finally appeared on the dining table in front of Li Longji.

Li Longji’s food has long since changed. There are not so many things to look at. Each meal has more than ten dishes. In his opinion, it is already luxurious enough, unless it is with envoys from Japan, Silla and other countries. Will put on the due pomp, usually do not do so.

The imperial dining room hadn’t brought the food yet. When Li Longji heard that there was food coming from the Zhuangyuan Building, he immediately ordered the imperial dining room to stop cooking and ordered someone to open the food box. There were a lot of small yellow steamed buns in it, which looked quite different. Seductive, smells a special fragrance, I don’t know what it is.

Another food box was opened, and there was a charcoal fire underneath. There were a lot of meat slices, as well as bean sprouts and other accessories. When I smelled it again, my tears almost didn’t come out.

“This is…?” For the first time, Li Longji felt that he was ignorant and had never seen such a thing.

According to the procedure, first use a silver needle to test to see if there are commonly used poisons, such as arsenic, and then let the little eunuch try it again, and wait for the golden steamed bun to cool down. The little eunuch is still alive and well. First pick up a steamed bun and crush it into small pieces and put it in your mouth to chew.

“Your Majesty, it’s delicious, I have never eaten anything with such a taste.” As he spoke, Gao Lishi went to eat the boiled pork slices again, and continued to nod to Li Longji after sticking his tongue out.

Li Longji can’t wait any longer. He’s used to the things that Zhuangyuan Building or Dayiju brings him to his heart’s content every time. Similarly, every time he sees other people go through the program and test them one by one, he will Thinking of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, if the two of them come over to make something to eat in person, they don’t have to wait for the food to cool down before they can eat it.

Seeing Gao Lishi nod, Li Longji couldn’t wait to pick up a steamed bun, no matter what kind of majesty the emperor should have, he opened his mouth and took a bite, the golden-colored steamed bun enters, and immediately there is a feeling of tendon, and then there is a unique scent.

Picking up another piece of meat, the spicy taste instantly filled the whole mouth, and quickly took another bite of the steamed bun, UU reading www.

sonicmtl.com exhaled, squinted his eyes and praised: “It’s delicious, Xiaobao and Juanjuan have a heart, can Lishi know what this thing is?”

Gao Lishi shook his head, “I don’t know, wait for the minister to write a letter and go ask. ”

Well, hurry up.” Li Longji seemed very anxious.

Gao Lishi put down his chopsticks and went to write a letter. At this time, Li Longji had thrown his cheeks away and started to eat.

When Gao Lishi finished writing the letter and sent it to Jilizhou with pigeons, he saw that there were only a few bean sprouts and vegetable leaves left in the big bowl with boiled meat slices, and only three small steamed buns left. The emperor was sitting upright with his belly upright, his head slightly tilted back, and seeing the ups and downs of his chest, it was obvious that he was out of breath.

“Luo Bin, hurry up, go to the pharmacy room to get Dashancha Pills, Your Majesty, you are… hey” Gao Lishi looked very helpless.

Li Longji touched his stomach with his hand, “Lux, I didn’t eat it all, I’ll keep it for you.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Gao Lishi responded.
