Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 858

[Chapter 482]

Chapter 482 The moon in the sky is moving and the red luan

is not a ruthless cloud, and the wind and dust cover the shadow.

(Reading the novel) The passerby asked what was in the car, white as snow and crystal clear.

The introduction of yellow chives has a tendency to overwhelm the garlic sprouts for a while.

In the palace, Li Longji was eating dumplings made with yellow leeks and drank a bowl of garlic sprout soup. He seemed to say to the eunuchs and court ladies in the palace, “How? How? What did I say? But I guessed it? Luo Bin, tell me.”

Luo Bin was at a loss, not knowing what His Majesty was asking, and when he saw the Emperor looking over, he quickly said: “Your Majesty is really a god. It makes people sigh, it’s not as good as it is, it’s better to have more.”

Hearing Luo Bin’s praise, Li Longji happily ate another dumpling, and asked Luo Bin again, “Do you know how I guessed the specific matter?”

Luo Bin was stunned. , specifically?

Who knows what exactly?

In the middle of his worries, Gao Lishi walked in with a tray in his hand, and said to Luo Bin: “Your Majesty said a few days ago, this minister is most clear, but Zhang Xiaobao still has a backhand to make, and when he is out, he will definitely be able to make Zhang Xiaobao. The Wang family has money and can make money, and His Majesty has a deep plan, and he admires it.”

“Hmph, Xiaojie, Xiaojie, let Zhang Xiaobao be as cunning as a fox, and he would never try to deceive me, without that garlic seedling first, yellow How can the leeks sell so hot?”

Li Longji raised his chin slightly and acted arrogantly.

“Your Majesty, the sweet garlic has been marinated. You can try it. If you want to eat yellow leeks in the future, you can ask Sinong Temple to plant them specially. The method is simple, cover it from light, keep it cool for a long time, and its leaves will turn yellow.”

Gao Lishi Change back to Li Longji’s chin, put the tray on the table, and introduce the method of planting chives.

Li Longji was surprised, it is not as simple as thinking about growing yellow leeks. Then look at the garlic on the plate, pick one up and bite it lightly, and immediately nodded with satisfaction, “Well, it’s good, yes, this garlic tastes very good. It can be eaten with rice, it is refreshing and appetizing, after that, I will have more delicious food in Tang Dynasty.”

“Your Majesty’s words are very true. Of course, in the future, I will have to add countless garlic seedlings to the farmland. I am afraid that the garlic will always be abundant and the garlic farmers will lose money. It is necessary to carefully consider it.

” The garlic skin that Li Longji peeled off was clear and shiny, and he said, “Your Majesty does not know that the skin of sweet garlic can still be eaten. Compared with the crispy garlic cloves, it adds a little toughness. Picked green garlic, its skin is tough but not firewood. The texture is moderate, torn into threads, or continuous.”

Li Longji listened to Gao Lishi, and

couldn’t help but pick up another one. This time, he ate it with the skin and nodded: “It’s really good, we will discuss this matter early tomorrow.”

Gao Li Shi wrote down the words and said to Li Longji: “Your Majesty, when the minister went to pick up garlic, he received a telegram about the Silla affair.”

“What is it?

” In Japan, when garlic was transferred from Silla into our Tang Dynasty, the sweet garlic recipe was exchanged. Therefore, Silla collected garlic in China to make sweet garlic. However, the sweet garlic recipe requires a lot of sugar, and Silla can use it without sugar. I want to buy it from my Tang.”

Gao Lishi said the content of the telegram without hesitation.

“Oh? There are other things like this?” If Li Longji was in the past, he might not have much reaction. Now he is very interested in what Zhang Xiaobao is doing, and feels that this is absolutely extraordinary.

“Yes, there are people who want to transport sugar from other places to Dengzhou and sell it to Silla, but…”

“But Xiaobao stopped it, right?” Before Gao Lishi finished speaking, Li Longji continued. asked.

“Your Majesty Shengming, Xiaobao asked people to buy sugar in Dengzhou. He said that when a large amount of new garlic came down, he would concentrate on making sweet garlic. Therefore, the merchants who wanted to sell sugar to Silla immediately resold the Zhang and Wang families. No one dared to pestle, and the sugar transport vehicles gathered over there glanced over and couldn’t see the end.”

Gao Lishi replied with a proud face.

Li Longji put down his chopsticks and said, “How can there be so much candy? It is estimated that the merchant brought an empty car and wanted to change things from Silla. If Xiaobao made a move, naturally no one dared to object. When the logistics of the wind was like yesterday, Do you know what Xiaobao’s actions are like?”

“I don’t know, I think it must have a deep meaning.”

“I still use you to say, when did Xiaobao come back? Let him as soon as possible, I will punish him, in Furong Garden. You will be responsible for convicting the crime there, and by the way, bring the cooking utensils from the imperial kitchen, and I promised to make fried potato chips with chili peppers for me

. In the follow-up action, he was thinking about the dishes that Zhang Xiaobao promised to cook. Until now, he still doesn’t know what potatoes look like.

“Yes, I have written it down. After counting the time, Xiaobao may have already left. With Xiaobao, there are also the leaders of various Turkic ministries. Your Majesty will need to personally appoint an official when the time comes, in order to show Tang’s kindness.”

Gao Lishi agreed. , At the same time, I also look forward to the potato fried pepper.

“When I arrive in the capital, I guess I can settle the marriage, and then live together?” Zhang Xiaobao personally rowed the oars on the river connecting Luoshui River to the capital, Wang Juan sat opposite Zhang Xiaobao, and the two walked slowly all the way, chatting at the same time.

The two of them were on the boat, and the others were on other boats. Zhang Xiaobao remembered what he said when he called from his home before leaving, and asked Wang Juan.

“Having been living together since childhood, is it because of engagement that we deliberately separated? I’m not that hypocritical. Who would dare to speak ill of us behind our backs and ruin the reputation of the two of us?” Wang Juan replied without thinking much.

“No, it doesn’t matter. I mean, look, we are not too young anymore, and now we are advocating late marriage. The main reason is late childbearing. After all, having a baby has an impact on a woman’s body. Generally two It’s almost ten years old.

But…that…actually…if that’s what…just don’t…don’t reproduce human life, and at our age, it’s…right?”

Zhang Xiaobao said these words intermittently. In the end, he didn’t directly say what he was going to do. Not only did he stammer, his face was red, and his hands were still shaking the paddle. Continuously rippled in circles, no longer showing the level of the single paddle nudged to the shore.

Wang Juan looked at the sky and sniffed. Seeing that the silence was too long, Fang asked, “Just say what you want to do, and we should be polite between the two of us?”

“Ah? Well, then I can say, now that the weather is warm, after booking the marriage, when we go to bed at night, can we…can…then, count the stars together?”

Zhang Xiaobao, who mustered up his courage, finally spoke his words. After speaking, the whole body collapsed and was left there.

Wang Juan stopped looking at the sky, turned back to look at Zhang Xiaobao, and said earnestly, “Xiaobao, your emotional intelligence is a little bit worse, so stop counting the stars, you should count the moon, darling.”

When Zhang Xiaobao counted the moon for a while After that, when the team entered the capital, Mojilian and his party bid farewell to Zhang Xiaobao, and went to report first, learning the etiquette of meeting with the sage, and there should be no rudeness.

Zhang Xiaobao muttered ‘there is a moon in the sky, a moon in the water, the moon in the sky is in the water, and the moon in the water is in the sky’, and lived in the Zhuangyuan Building with Wang Juan, who always pursed his lips and smiled along the way. The house is not coming back.

The ones that arrived earlier than Zhang Xiaobao and his party were several new dishes produced in the Jian’an greenhouse, not many. They were going to keep the seeds for use. Some of the dishes they brought were for Li Longji and some for their own home.

When Li Longji, who was thinking about fried potatoes with peppers, heard that the eunuch reporter on duty was coming, he didn’t take Moji to heart at all. The first thing he asked was Zhang Xiaobao?

Why didn’t you enter the palace?

“Go back to your majesty, Xiao… Zhang Jiedu and Wang’s deputy Jiedu have returned to the Zhuangyuan Building, and they didn’t even go to Zhang and Wang’s family in the capital. Xiao heard someone reported that Zhang Jiedu said something in the sky on the way. The moon, a moon in the water, it is estimated that it is sick, cold?”

The eunuch on duty also gave Zhang Xiaobao a reason to take money, so naturally he had to maintain it.

It was Li Longji who wondered, “The cold has not been cured yet? He whispered all the way? Then I immediately ordered the Deyi Medical College to be closed. He brought his younger brothers and sisters, will he bring a good doctor?

Oh, the sky, the moon, Well, I understand, what’s in the moon? Chang’e, Xiaobao is getting old, so he should book the marriage and arrange someone… You should go there in person, and tell Xiaobao that tomorrow morning, I will After pressing everything down, first discuss with the ministers about the marriage of the envoy of Bohai Jiedu, I am hungry.”

Li Longji was finally smart, although the clues of the guess were wrong, the result was the same.

As for whether it is appropriate to put a courtier’s marriage above the imperial court that five-rank officials can participate in, he didn’t think much about it.

The eunuch on duty was smarter and not stupid. He didn’t go to arrange a royal meal for Li Longji. He agreed, and withdrew respectfully, and rushed to the Zhuangyuan Building as quickly as possible.

When he got there, he didn’t spend much time to see Zhang Xiaobao who was confused about the number of moons. Zhang Xiaobao didn’t understand the number of moons. He was still doing other things in a clear and orderly manner. At this time, he was about to write, and his eyes were fixed on the paper in front of him. The other hand tapped his face lightly and murmured.

“There is a moon in the sky, and a moon in the water… Looking at the moon, thinking about my hometown, one in the water and the other in the sky.”

Repeated several times in a row, and said: “I asked you all to count the moon for me, and I still want to be in my old age. Tang buys candy? Wait until I can count the stars.”

The eunuch on duty was stunned, what happened to this little treasure?

Sing and talk.

Wang Juan, who had been with him the whole time, laughed ‘pochi’, took the pen holder out of Zhang Xiaobao’s mouth, gave Zhang Xiaobao a look and said, “Aiya, Xiaobao, I have to admit, your EQ is a bit poor, but your IQ is a little off. Absolutely no problem.

Let you count the moon for a few days, and you can also use it to calculate others. Okay, after a while, I will let you count the stars. Well, the Holy One has sent someone to see you. Greet?”

“How many?” Zhang Xiaobao glanced at the eunuch and asked as he stood beside him.

“A lot, a lot.” Wang Juan turned her face and said.

“Of course I know a lot, but…”

“Oh, Mr. Zhang, sit down, the youngest just came to have a look. I heard that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wang were back, and the youngest wished they could grow wings and fly over to take a look. But it is on duty, fortunately, His Majesty is gracious, so I sent a young man here.”

How dare the eunuch on duty ask Zhang Xiaobao to greet him, if he hadn’t listened to the conversation between the two of them, he would not have allowed Zhang Xiaobao to get up.

“What’s the matter? I’ll leave after eating here for a while. Come on, tell the back kitchen to make a prefecture-level one-star set meal, minus one dish, and add a scrambled egg with tomato brought back from overseas.”

Zhang Xiaobao didn’t tell anyone else.

Courtesy words, outgoing orders.

When the eunuch on duty heard the word ‘overseas’, his smile was more grateful. He had never eaten it before. He was not afraid that Zhang Xiaobao would let him eat. , hurriedly said: “Many thanks to Mr. Zhang, uh~ I’m hungry.”

“Well? Oh~ I went back and told Your Majesty, and the minister immediately gave an order to transfer a thousand stones of refined rice from the Bohai Protectorate to the palace.” Zhang Xiaobao was a little stunned. , I understand, the person who came here is to learn from Li Longji’s words, because the rice in Northeast China has a long maturity period, so it tastes better, so he followed the words of the person who came.

The eunuch on duty blinked, looked at Zhang Xiaobao, and said, “Master Zhang, it’s not about adjusting the rice, it’s… Xiao suddenly remembered something, His Majesty has a word to say ‘first’, tomorrow’s court, other matters will be postponed, let’s talk about Bohai first Regarding the marriage of the principal and deputy Jiedushi, Mr. Zhang, seeing what Your Majesty means, is to pay tribute to the principal and deputy Jiedushi of Bohai.”

“Ah? Is there such a thing? Cuckoo cuckoo, don’t look at the wall, follow me, sage. I’m hungry, the minister should be the sage to cook in person to show the loyalty of the minister, and the sage who can take care of the Bohai Jiedushi, as a minister, is honored.”

Zhang Xiaobao did not clean up the book case, and suddenly his face changed when he pulled it up. The ruddy Wang Juan hurriedly walked out. When she came to the door, she turned around and said to the eunuch on duty, “We’ll go together, don’t wait for the meal, and talk about it later.”

“Okay, okay, Mr. Zhang, wait a minute, Zhang son…”

“Okay, really good, these two things, fried together, the taste is fresh, spicy and refreshing, Xiaobei, Xiaoyuan, and you all, try it.” In the

Furong Garden, Li Longji happily ate, the food was hot Yes, just fried, no need for others to test the poison, seeing Xiao Bei who came with Zhang Xiaobao bowed his head and worked hard to deal with the sauced venison in the plate in front of him, and invited him.

When Xiaobei went to the palace, it was no different from arriving home. He didn’t see the emperor’s timidity at all. Hearing this, he raised his head slightly and pouted, “It’s not delicious, I like to eat mashed potatoes, the sauce made by my brother, with fine chopped green onions, If you

pour it on top, it will be fragrant.”

“Oh, can it be made into other dishes?” Li Longji knew the same thing. Seeing the gravy on Xiao Bei’s mouth, he smiled and asked, “Xiao Bei, I’m going to inspect all the officials of the Tang Dynasty for you, have you found it?”

Xiao Bei was happy when he said this, and he had more power, stuck out his tongue and licked the juice from the corner of his mouth, and replied, “Not yet, when I got the news. , I’m in Sanshui County, who am I going to check? Before I met the emperor’s uncle downstream, the officials along the way were very obedient, and no one spent the county’s money to greet me, so bear with me and wait for another place.”

“Then I But we are waiting for Xiaobei to kill the Quartet.” Li Longji didn’t know why, as long as he saw Xiaobei, he was very happy, but unfortunately he couldn’t find it in the palace, so he could only hope that Pan’er would perform better.

“Well, I will take care of your Majesty. If anyone dares to disobey the emperor’s uncle, I will go and clean him up.” Xiaobei said righteously.

Looking at Xiao Bei’s serious look, Li Longji laughed and said to himself, ‘Don’t say that there is a problem with the person Xiao Bei found, it is no problem. For the sake of Xiao Bei’s cute appearance, he is cruel and can be determined. guilty’.

Looking at it, Li Longji was a little dazed for a while. Then he looked at Zhang Xiaobao, who was busy cooking, and Wang Juan, who was wiping his sweat from time to time, and sighed again. Time passed by so fast, and in a flash, both of them were grown up. .

Remember when you asked for a portrait of two people, wouldn’t it be like Xiaobei?

Just like a dream of yesterday, it has changed. Many places in the palace have changed, the capital has changed, and the Tang Dynasty has also changed. The civil and military people who used to be full of dynasties, some went to office, some left, Xiaobao and Jujuan have also changed, but No matter how you look at it, it seems that the only thing that has changed is the appearance, and the calm eyes are still not angry.

‘Pop’, when Li Longji was immersed in his memories, Zhang Xiaobao brought the last dish, a total of four meat and four vegetarian dishes, four cold and four hot eight dishes, a vegetarian soup, and the fried potato shreds on the soup were browned and browned. People look at it as if it is a work of art.

There are not many styles of dishes, but the quantity is large, and everyone who sees them has a share. Li Longji, who is so happy, even let the maids and eunuchs who are waiting on the side also try it.

Li Longji and Zhang Xiaobao were also polite and silent, they just pointed at the chair casually and asked to sit next to him.

Zhang Xiaobao, who had washed his hands, threw the hand towel to a eunuch, sat lazily beside Li Longji, and leaned back without making a sound.

“Xiaobao, among the things you have brought back from far away places, are the yields of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn really high?”

“High, especially potatoes, they are easy to grow, and they can be used as vegetables and meals, yes, It can also be used as a snack.” Zhang Xiaobao said firmly, and the snacks in the back were added after seeing Xiaobei looking up.

“Oh, UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com That means, even if many places in the Tang Dynasty were hit at the same time, and the production of rice and white flour plummeted, I could still use crops that don’t choose the land to survive, right?” “Yes

.”

Look With Zhang Xiaobao looking bored, Li Longji was not angry. If it were someone else, except Zhang Zhong, who would dare to take such an attitude, he would have pulled it down and chopped it off. With a slight smile, Li Longji looked up at the sky and said to Zhang Xiaobao: “Xiaobao, look at the round moon in the sky, look carefully, do you see the jade rabbit?”

Zhang Xiaobao didn’t look up at all, where did the moon come from at noon?

Moreover, even at night, there is only a crescent moon left today.

‘Li Longji must have done it on purpose.

‘ Zhang Xiaobao, whose face was turning green, muttered to himself, slandered again, turned his head to look at Wang Juan, and found that Wang Juan had become a person since he came out of the Zhuangyuan Building. He always likes to bow his head, and his ears are still red.

Zhang Xiaobao and Li Longji, who was puzzled, said:

“I see, Yutu is making medicine.”

“Seeing Jade Rabbit making medicine, Xiaobao, are you ill?” Li Longji came over, and when he saw Wang Juan’s appearance, he could guess that the two of them were somewhat ambiguous with the moon.
