Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 283 Li Yuan's Private Interview

What Liumu is talking about is the spinach of later generations.

"Try planting a piece of land, I think it will work." The piece of land that Du Zichun said refers to a shed that is divided into five pieces of land, and it is calculated on the basis of two feet.

In the shed, the actual planting width is about [-] meters, which is about [-] meters.

Liu Mu patted Du Zichun on the shoulder: "Old Brother Du, if this vegetable shed can be completed, we will transform the entire hillside into a vegetable shed next winter, and when it is delivered to the palace this winter, I will let you deliver it. "

Du Zichun was so excited that he didn't know how to speak, he just clasped his fist with all his strength.

Liu Mu continued: "Remember what I said, the earliest fresh vegetables to eat in winter should be during the period of Qin Shihuang. At that time, Shihuang planted vegetables in Lishan Hot Spring, which is recorded in historical books. Then in the palace of the Han Dynasty , there is a record of Yunhuo planting vegetables, the ministers have great opinions and have written several times."

Du Zichun asked after listening: "It's because the saints have something to eat, but they don't, so they object."

Liu Mu was stunned for a moment, this also explained that it was interesting, and then laughed out loud.

I remember that there are records in the history books, and the ministers said that it is not suitable for food, and it will save tens of millions of years.It is estimated that it is because the cost is too high, so I wrote a letter to stop it.

Hearing Liu Mu laugh, Du Zichun felt that he might have said something he shouldn't have said.

But Liu Mu said: "You are right, this method is indeed not good. It has made you work hard for so long, and it is really not good for me to eat."

"Mr. Lang, when I was literate, that gentleman read a passage to me. I tried it myself. Although the cost is not small, it is worth it."

"What is it?" Liu Mu asked with interest.

"Grow leeks and grow them in kilns. But when they grow out, they are yellow and taste a bit off-putting, but they are delicious."

"Then plant more, and grow more." Liu Mu was very supportive, this is called chives in later generations, and it is very delicious, especially the chives and beef dumplings, which are delicious among the delicious.

Liu Mu saw that the greenhouse had been completed, and Du Zichun was given the planting and digging of the chive cellar.

On the way back to Jingyang Zhuangzi, Liu Mu visited his vegetable cellar again.

Everything has been dug here, and someone is piling pears and radishes inside.

"Mix?" Liu Mu was curious.

The person in charge immediately explained: "Your Majesty, there are radishes in the pears, and the pears will still be fresh in the New Year."

Hearing this, Liu Mu was more than taken aback. This is enough to prove that cellar storage technology existed before the Tang Dynasty, and some people understand it, which means that this technology has a history of at least hundreds of years.

Then it should be in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Liu Mu asked again: "How is the womb cabbage stored?"

"Don't worry, sir, we cleared a piece of land on the river beach in your old house. There is ventilation there, and enough straw curtains have been prepared. We will transport it there when the womb is harvested, and then it will be four feet high. Send people to watch day and night. Another thing depends on Mr. Lang, the new field is planted with green-skinned and red-hearted water radishes, which have sprouted these days, but counting the days, I'm afraid it will be worse before the frost."

"It's okay, it's almost as good as it is. Just put it in a snowy day and eat it."

"Well, but the radishes that have been frosted are sweet, but the harvest will not be very good." The manager looked regretful.

Liu Muxin said, it was my money that was lost, but these people lost their money just like their own. This kind of responsibility is completely incomparable to modern migrant workers in later generations.

It was Liu Mu who comforted him: "Don't worry, I won't ask the nobles of Chang'an to sell it for five times the price."

"If there is snow, I'll grit my teeth and buy five times as much." The manager said bitterly, causing Liu Mu to laugh.

Liu Mu asked again: "Where is our paddy field?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, as long as what Mr. Lang said works, there will be at least 20 catties of lotus root in our paddy fields by the end of the twelfth lunar month. When these are transported to Chang'an, they will be exchanged for several times the money."

The method that Liu Mu said was indeed not available in the Tang Dynasty, although the history of planting lotus root existed before the Qin Dynasty.

But the method of flooding the pond with water and leaving the lotus root in the pond without digging it out, Liumu does not know in which dynasty it appeared.And there is no record of eating lotus root in winter in ancient times.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, it will be winter in a blink of an eye.

There are fewer and fewer people in the east and west cities of Chang'an City.

But the market at Jingyang Wharf is full of people.

Before dawn, many people from Chang'an were waiting for the gates to be opened at the north and west gates of Chang'an City, and then came to Jingyang Wharf market in groups.

On this day, Liu Mu is enjoying life in the gentle village.

Baoqin opened the door and came in, holding a set of willow clothes for going out: "Mr. Lang, the sage sent someone to tell you to go to the Jinghe wharf quickly. The sage sees that the weather is good today, so I have to go to the Jinghe wharf to see."

Liu Mu opened the curtains and glanced outside, the sky was still full of stars.

"This day, it's not yet light, alas." Liu Mu complained, Baoqin had already begun to peel off Liu Mu's clothes, and urged: "When the sage was summoned by others, there were many people who rushed to the palace with their quilts rolled up and their hair disheveled. Jun, you dare to complain, you are not afraid of being beaten."

"Yes. Arrange for them to change into new clothes."

"Okay." Baoqin threw the clothes on the bed and trotted away.

Dugu Lanruo lazily sat up on the bed: "I'm afraid there is something wrong."

"As long as I don't let anyone find out about Qinghe and Zhuohe valleys, it doesn't matter. By the way, what day is it today?" Liu Mu asked while putting on his clothes.

Liu Mu was a writer in his previous life, and he never remembered the date or day of the week.

Same now.

Datang doesn't even have a calendar here.

But Dugu Lanruo remembered: "Yesterday was the winter day, and I ate dumplings."

Liu Mu patted his head lightly: "Well, should I enter the palace yesterday? It seems that I want to greet the winter to worship the elders."

"Yingdong was called He Dong in the Han Dynasty, but you came to live in Jingyang after you were banned from Sanyuan, and you didn't enter the palace to pay homage to him. I guess the emperor came to trouble you. If you are removed from the title again, don't worry, I will support you After saying these words, Dugu Lanruo got back under the quilt.

Speaking of this quilt, Dugu Lanruo didn't let anyone know except Baoqin.

This quilt is not ordinary. It is made of cotton and silk blended thick fabric, and then filled with a mixture of cashmere, cotton, and goose down. It is very light and super comfortable.

This is still a thin quilt, but the thick quilt is believed by Dugu Lanruo to be so comfortable that people don't want to leave the bed in the coldest winter.

After Liu Mu was fully dressed, the four attendants had also changed into new clothes. Besides the four attendants, Baoqin also changed into a new set of clothes and was tidying her own saddle.

"Are you going too?"

"Go, just go to see the shop." Baoqin got on his horse neatly while speaking.

Zhuangzi on the Jing River privately used a small wharf, and the horses and boats went down the river and soon arrived at the Jinghe Wharf, where they put on horses and went to the market.

Not long after Li Yuan arrived at the market, he ate a bowl of tofu nao in a small shop.

Willow arrives.

Liu Mu's appearance completely destroyed the interest of Tang Emperor Li Yuan's private visit.
