Datang Nongwang

Chapter 575 It's Lively

It's three to five hundred catties when you open your mouth.

As soon as Li Chongyuan heard the number, he stopped and looked back at Lin Caishu.

Is Li Chongyuan reluctant?
of course.

With the value of five hundred catties of brown sugar, if it is sold in Dongshi, it can be sold for twenty-five thousand yuan.

Such a large value, Li Chongyuan is really reluctant at the moment.

but.

When Li Chongyuan saw Lin Caishu's protruding stomach, he smiled, nodded and said, "Sister-in-law wants it. I, as the fourth brother, don't dare to give it to me. It's just some brown sugar. I'll cook it slowly when I go back." Some will come out, and I will send them to my sister-in-law when the time comes."

"That's great. Fourth brother, you don't know that my mother and sister-in-law are deficient in Qi and blood. The doctor said that if I can eat some brown sugar, it will be beneficial. It's a pity that the brown sugar sold in Dongshi There are very few of them, and it is difficult for us to buy some. Fortunately, the fourth brother can make brown sugar, otherwise, the elder sister-in-law would not know where to get it." Lin Caishu saw Li Chongyuan nodding, and her face was overjoyed.

Just her mother and sister-in-law.

Because of the root of the disease caused by having a child, I have never been better.

Deficiency of qi and blood is also a common problem among women nowadays, and it is also a difficult problem to solve.

I took a lot of medicine, but I still didn't see any improvement.

No matter how much medicine is taken, it is basically inexplicable for women to lose energy and blood due to childbirth.

There is a saying.

The medicine is three-point poisonous. No matter how powerful the doctor is, he will not be able to prescribe you prescriptions one by one. They will also consider whether the patient can bear it or not.

But brown sugar is different.

There is a saying in the previous life that medicine is not as good as food.

And this brown sugar is something that belongs to food supplements, and it is the right medicine for women's diseases.

After hearing what Lin Caishu said, Li Chongyuan smiled indifferently and followed her into the inner courtyard.

Brown sugar, Li Zhuang does not cook much at present.

Only ten pots can be boiled every two hours.

Calculated according to this time, if you want to boil all the sugar cane into brown sugar, you have to boil it non-stop at twelve o'clock every day.

Whether it's a servant or a guard.

They didn't stop their work, they were busy from morning till night.

Fortunately, there is a fire in the place where the brown sugar is boiled, and it is not cold.

If there is no fire, then it will suffer.

When the old lady came to the gate of the palace city in a carriage, the soldiers guarding the palace city saw the old lady coming, and hurried up to greet her, "Mrs. Jun, why did you come here suddenly today?"

Recently, due to the cold weather, fewer and fewer women entered the palace.

And the old lady would not go to the palace unless she had something to do.Of course, it's not that the old lady doesn't go, but just chooses the time to enter the palace.

Empress Changsun's body is becoming more and more difficult. As a cousin, the old lady will naturally visit the palace, but the visit time is only half a month or once a month.

If you really want to enter the palace too much, others probably have to have opinions.

"I have something to go into the palace." The old lady looked at the guard and smiled back.

The guard looked at the carriage behind, bowed his hands to the old lady in embarrassment and said: "Madam Jun, you should understand the rules, so I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's normal, you can check it. However, I brought three hundred catties of brown sugar, so don't break it." Of course, the old lady understands the rules of the palace.

The guard was startled when he heard the three hundred catties of brown sugar from the old lady's mouth.

Brown sugar is such a precious thing, and the old lady was able to sell it for three hundred catties, which really shocked him.

And it was something like food, the guard nodded to the person behind him without saying a word.

The man got the instructions and ran directly to the palace gate.

For a while.

An official rushed over and began to inspect the carriage according to the normal rules of entering the palace.

The official climbed into the carriage and was shocked to see boxes of brown sugar in front of him, and it was cut into small pieces.

This official is an official who specializes in food inspection. As long as it is food that enters the palace, it must go through his hands before it can be put into the palace.

even.

Once checked by him, after entering the palace, there will be another maid and others to check and confirm again.

Whether it is food or ingredients.

Everything about the entrance has to be inspected.

Its inspection is nothing more than poison.

The official looked at the boxes of brown sugar, swallowed hard, and finally looked at the guard outside the carriage and said, "General Li, please tell Mrs. Mingjun that I need to taste some brown sugar." .”

The guard, General Li, nodded after hearing this, and came to the carriage in front.

"Mrs. Jun, although brown sugar is precious, according to the rules, I need to try it. Please allow it." The guard dare not be sloppy, even if it is brown sugar.

The old lady nodded helplessly, "Yes, but I can only taste one piece, otherwise, if you all tasted so much brown sugar, I wouldn't be able to send the old man to the palace."

"Yes, yes, ma'am, don't worry, I'll know what to do." The guard immediately promised after hearing the sound.

In Dongshi, brown sugar sells for five pennies for one penny.

And the three hundred catties of brown sugar on the carriage are worth a lot.

Although the guard was also guessing where the old lady got so much brown sugar, he wondered if he would ask the old lady for a while.

After the official tasted it and checked all the boxes, he jumped out of the carriage, "Mrs. County, there is no problem. However, I have something to ask, I don't know if the old lady can solve the confusion of being an official." .”

As soon as the old lady heard what the official said, she knew what he wanted to ask.

but.

The old lady shook her head, said nothing, let alone said anything.

The brown sugar made by his son, he didn't want someone to start thinking about brown sugar because of this.

The old lady had already made a plan for the brown sugar produced in Lizhuang.

This year's brown sugar, not a single piece will be sold.

That's why she shook her head at the official, showing that she didn't want to respond to his words.

But it is true.

You, an official who specializes in inspecting things that have entered the palace, are really not qualified to ask a county lady for anything.

Besides, although the old lady is the wife of the county, her status is not as good as that of the lady of the state, but the old lady is a relative of the Li family. If you really want to talk about it in detail, she is more honorable than those wives of the princes. It is not you, a little Officials can ask questions at will, and it is not his turn to make friends.

Seeing the old lady shaking her head, the official felt a little disappointed, and could only look to the guard at one side for help.

but.

The guard also understood at this moment that if the old lady doesn't want to say it, even if you put some duke and wife in front of you, the old lady won't say it.

It is not the first time for him to deal with the old lady as he has been guarding the palace gate all year round. If he doesn't even understand this point, his role as guard will be in vain.

and.

This guard is also a relative of the Li family, but the relationship is a little further away.If he wanted to discuss it in detail, he would have to call the old lady an uncle.

The old lady was let into the palace.

As soon as she entered the palace, Empress Changsun, who had already heard the news, was looking forward to it in the West Inner Garden.

"Mother, the brown sugar must be made by cousin Chongyuan. When I went to Lizhuang last time, cousin Chongyuan said that he planted sugar cane in Lizhuang to make sugar." Li Yi came over today to give Empress Changsun pays her respects, just in time to hear the news that the old lady sent brown sugar into the palace.

After hearing the words, Empress Changsun smiled, "It should be. I just don't know how Chongyuan knew the recipe for making sugar. This is really hard for me to imagine."

"Mother, mother, I know, I know. Cousin Chongyuan told me last time, he said he was a god sent from heaven." Sizi on the side told her mother what she had heard before .

To Sizi, Li Chongyuan is a god.

All kinds of fun and delicious food emerge in endlessly.

Every time the little guy thinks about food, he always regards Li Chongyuan as a god.

Empress Changsun looked at her little daughter, giggling non-stop.

Another two quarters of an hour later.

Only then did the old lady come to Xi Neiyuan, "Xiang Wan greets the queen, and the queen is blessed."

"Sister-in-law, I don't dare to accept this gift from you. Sister-in-law, I just heard that you sent three hundred catties of brown sugar, please show me." Empress Changsun quickly waved her hand when she saw the old lady salute to the body. .

The old lady stood up and waved to the maidservant behind her.

In a short while, the maid brought down two boxes of brown sugar from the carriage, "Queen, these are made by Yuan'er, and Yuan'er just sent some here today. I heard the doctor said that eating more brown sugar would not be enough for the queen." Your condition has slowed down, for this reason, I sent some into the palace."

"Sister-in-law, is this really made by Chongyuan?" Empress Changsun asked knowingly.

At this time, Li and Yi Sizi had already received a box of brown sugar from a maidservant, and each took out a piece from the box.

"It's so sweet, so sweet. Mom, eat it, it still tastes like sugarcane." After taking a bite, Sizi handed it to his mother as if enjoying it.

Empress Changsun glanced at the old lady, smiled knowingly, and lightly took a bite of the brown sugar that Si Zi handed over, "It's so sweet. Chong Yuan is so capable. It can be made, it seems that Chong Yuan must have spent a lot of money to get the sugar recipe."

"Returning to the queen, I didn't ask about it in detail. However, when the sugar cane was planted at the beginning of Yuan'er, it was said that sugar would be made at that time. As a mother, I just thought he was messing around. After all, in the northern area, I have never heard of planting sugar cane. However, Yuan Er is lucky, the sugar cane has grown into a brown sugar." The old lady said very modestly.

Empress Changsun listened with a smile, but didn't speak.

Every mother wants to show that she has a capable son.

woman.

Sitting together, except for comparisons, the rest of the time is either gossip or showing off your own children.

If you can't show it, you can only sigh secretly.

The palace is full of joy.

And outside the palace.

But it was very lively.

I don't know whether it was the news from the Miyagi guard or the official that there was a lot of brown sugar in the Li family.

This is not.

When the women of each Xungui's family heard the news, they couldn't sit still.

They all took the carriage and went to Li's house in person.

When the butler of my family heard from the concierge that there were a lot of carriages coming outside my house, he was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately ran to the gate.

Follow him to take a look.

Huh.

The battle was really scary.

Last year, few people from the main residence came to pay a visit.

And since this year, these noble ladies have gradually intersected with the Li family, and the number of visits has also increased day by day, and they even sit in the house for a long time, chatting about some gossip things that women often talk about, which makes Li The family got a little angry.

But now.

These carriages in front of the gate of Li's house are almost blocking the whole street.

The butler looked up, and was startled again by the carriage approaching from a distance, "Quick, hurry up and lead the carriage, and don't block the street."

The end of the street is where Fangmen is.

There, there is still a carriage coming.

This kind of battle only happened once on the day of Li Chongji's marriage. In the past, it really never happened, even when the long-dead county magistrate Li Gui came back from Turkic, it was not so lively.

After the servants heard the sound, they hurried to the carriage that was coming.

The butler sent another person back to the mansion to report.

The old lady is not there, so there is no one to make decisions, but Li Chongyuan is here, and Lin Caishu is also there.

When Li Chongyuan from the inner court heard the report from his subordinates, he and Lin Caishu just stood there in a daze, not knowing what the situation was.

"Fourth brother, it seems that they must have gotten some news from somewhere that they want to come to our house to ask for brown sugar." Lin Caishu responded quickly.

When Li Chongyuan heard this, he let out a long breath, "Oh, who the hell is being so cheap. Sister-in-law, I think you have to deal with this matter. It's not appropriate for me to go."

"Okay. My mother has entered the palace. It's really impossible without a woman in the house." Lin Caishu nodded and went with her belly out.

After all the ladies were welcomed into the mansion.

Li Chongyuan hid in the back and waited for a while, and when the ladies asked whether there was any brown sugar or not, he was even more dumbfounded, "I'm going, there are so many people, this is going to demolish our house. A little brown sugar, as for it."

Seeing so many people in the front hall, Li Chongyuan couldn't imagine that a little brown sugar would cause such a commotion.

but.

When Li Chongyuan thought about it carefully, he could understand it.

The brown sugar from the south is probably still on the way at the moment, or it is still in the process of being boiled like Li Chongyuan's side.

Last year's brown sugar had already been sold out in Dongshi, so there was no one left.

And when these noble ladies heard that the Li family had brown sugar, they started to come here like a cat that smelled fishy.

The Li family is really buzzing right now.

Up to the wife of the Duke of the country, down to the wives of some township monarchs.

even.

When Li Chongyuan was thinking about how to get rid of these noble ladies, someone suddenly yelled loudly, after the princess arrived, Li Chongyuan was dumbfounded again.

princess.

I will go.

As soon as Li Chongyuan heard that the princess had arrived, he immediately became a little uneasy.

but.

When Li Chongyuan saw the princess, he became calm and felt that it was normal.
