Datang first village

sweetness!It may be a taste that many people in Datang may not have the opportunity to taste in a year.

Sugar is definitely a luxury in the Tang Dynasty. When the belly's food and clothing are not completely resolved, giving the tongue a chance to enjoy it is definitely a luxury life that very few people can enjoy.

When Li Er returned to Chang'an with more than 1000 catties of gourds, many eunuchs in the palace even privately asked the chief eunuch in charge of the imperial kitchen how many gourds would be distributed to their master's palace and when they would be distributed.

Especially those dozens of exquisite and beautiful little pumpkins that are only one catty in size.

Li Er ordered the people from Sinong Temple to inquire about it. We really have to wait for the pumpkins to be harvested in summer. The ones that are ripe now are because they are early-maturing varieties. The fruit is already hanging, and it will be fully mature within a month or two after being removed. [

That night, Cui Yingying put the Yijiu pumpkin in her mouth with a small silver spoon, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really sweet, it really is sweeter than the one in the greenhouse!"

Li Liyuan also took a bite, but didn't mention the pumpkin: "It's a bit messy today, and I don't know the etiquette when I see those concubines. According to this rule, if it's a real royal banquet, then we sitting there?"

What Li Liyuan asked was about status and rank.

Since Li Yuanxing's craftsmen and soldiers were divided into ranks, the ranks at all levels in the Tang Dynasty have become more stringent.

Compared with the four concubines in the imperial palace, Qin Wang's side concubine should be half inferior.Compared with talents and the like, it must be high.But compared with Jiubi.Whether it is high or low, Li Liyuan is confused.

After wiping her mouth, Cui Yingying said unhurriedly: "It is our King Qin who has a noble status, and we have a noble status. Naturally, ordinary princes are not as good as them, but we are at least equal to or even higher than the nine concubines. In terms of face, they are the same, but we are also generous!"

The other two women also nodded and said yes, they didn't think their status would be low.

The next day, more than [-]% of the newspapers in Chang'an.But anyone who has contact with the official family will have the headline on the front page with the title of filial piety touching the sky.Great Confucianism and celebrities are invited to write comments.

Take filial piety as the theme.

The sixth prince, Li Yin, was stubborn when he was young, and filial piety was the first thing to do. Even though he was a little bit stubborn, his heart was good.Can become a master too!

Then an official newspaper like Datang News issued an announcement.One hundred and eight workshops in Chang'an.Each square selects one person with the utmost filial piety, and ten people with filial piety, and the Suzaku Gate will reward them at noon.

Who is filial, who is not filial!

Neighbors have their own opinions.There is no need to choose a filial son who is recognized, and the eyes of the people are sharp.In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the folk customs were simple, and no one had done the kind of thing that drove a Mercedes-Benz to pretend to be a poor person to receive subsistence allowances.

"Laohuai Street No. 13, Hu Jia Erlang, after joining the army, the eldest brother took care of his paralyzed and bedridden mother for eight years, and the mother is still alive, with sores on her body. Great filial piety! All the elders in Changle Fang are the same, and Changle Fang is the most filial No. .1. Below, 33 filial sons, filial daughters, and filial daughters-in-law are listed, please neighbors!"

An old man in his 70s announced loudly in the room where he lived.

Fang Guan stood aside, and it was far more appropriate for such a matter to be handled by the old man than him as an official.

And Mr. Su, even if he made any mistakes, the common people would be more considerate.

Wearing red and parading through the streets.

The huge 97-jin pumpkin was carried in front, followed by [-] filial people.One hundred and eight squares, because several squares were originally poor slums, and now they are demolished by Li Yuanxing.Everyone has already moved away, some went to Chang'an County of King Qin, and some went to Yaozhou. [

The east and west cities are bazaars, so they are not included in the evaluation.

Qujiang Pond in the southeast of Chang'an City occupies two squares of land, so only 97 people were actually selected.

Parading a filial son in the streets is a good thing, and hundreds of celebrities wrote poems and left articles.

In front of the Suzaku Gate, Li Er held a long knife and bowed in front of Li Yuan: "The emperor and I thank heaven and earth!" Li Yuan held Li Er's hand, swung the knife together, and split the huge pumpkin in two .

Cutting a pumpkin is such a great gift, nothing to do with Li.

Take off a piece of about three to four catties from the top, put it on the brocade plate, and shout politely: "Prince, go to the field to plant a god-sent gold melon for your mother. Jin. God is grateful for the filial piety of the prince, and auspiciousness descended from the sky. This pumpkin weighs [-] catties. Today, I will eat with the benevolent and filial people in Chang'an, and we will thank God together!"

If Li Yuanxing was here, he would definitely complain, isn't it just a big pumpkin, why did he have another ceremony to worship the sky.

Li Er was very excited, and Li Yuan was even more excited.

They like offering sacrifices to heaven, especially this auspicious one.

The imperial chef made a move, and his knife skill was amazing.After de-seeding the 300-jin pumpkin, except for the first one, it was divided into [-] small pieces that were nearly [-] yuan in size and almost identical in appearance.A good one now weighs around seven liang.

Then, more than a dozen normal-sized pumpkins were distributed again, and more than 1000 pieces were cut out, also of uniform size.

97 to filial piety, each person has a large seven-two-weight pumpkin, and then there is an ordinary small piece.There are still four or two meters.

"Golden melon porridge can also be steamed directly!"

Ordinary filial sons, two or two meters per person, plus a piece of ordinary pumpkin.

After receiving the pumpkin, everyone thanked the Holy Spirit for the gift and thanked God for the blessing.

In the afternoon, Li Er sat in the study, and he seemed to be able to smell the sweetness of pumpkin porridge wafting from the entire Chang'an city.He shook the small bell at his hand. Hearing the sound of the bell, Eunuch Gao quickly covered the small jar at his hand and handed it to the eunuch. After wiping his mouth, he went into Li Er's study.

The people below are filial to Eunuch Gao, and a small bowl of millet pumpkin porridge will be delivered in a jar.

After entering the study, Li Er asked while flipping through the official documents: "I seem to smell the sweetness of pumpkin porridge floating in Chang'an City!"

Eunuch Gao's heart tightened, please prepare to apologize, but seeing the casual smile on Li Er's face, he immediately changed his words and said: "This old slave knows that after you blessed the filial son of Chang'an, the old slave sent someone to visit the city. The people below reported that most of the filial sons set up a big pot in front of the house, boiled the pumpkins they gave out, and shared them with the neighbors. This is a great kindness, and naturally there is some pumpkin porridge in Chang'an City that tastes sweet!"

This answer made Li Er very satisfied.

Just when Eunuch Gao was about to plead guilty again, Li Er said: "Everyone in the palace has worked hard to choose a twenty-jin pumpkin!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Eunuch Gao knelt and thanked. [

Li Er waved his hand, and Eunuch Gao stepped back.

Li Er put the watch stamp in his hand, took out a few newspapers from the table, looked at the article praising Li Xiaode and smiled, very pleased.

Li didn't know this yet, he was busy in the workshop.

There are still five days to go, and this time all will be transported to Luoyang by tricycle, all the inspections of the cars, and the vulnerable parts to be taken on the road.Even if Li couldn't help much, he kept running back and forth. He had to check every workshop, even the village where the seeds were packed. bitten.

Until the afternoon, Li hadn't had lunch yet.

When Li returned to the gate of the workshop, he saw Wu's rickshaw. He didn't know why, but he felt guilty.

"Your!" Wu signaled Shui Siyun to carry the food box to Li.

Inside, there are two large pancakes, a bowl of pumpkin and millet porridge, and a small pumpkin less than a catty, steamed with candied fruit, golden yellow, and beautifully placed in a basin.

"Thank you, Aunt Mingyue!"

"Let's go to Chang'an, the Holy Spirit has a decree for old general Qu. You take it to Luoyang by the way!"

"Yes, I see!" Li nodded vigorously.

He is afraid of Wu, but deep down in his heart he is very grateful to Wu.

For the first time, he raised his head in front of Li Er.

Li finally found out that he tried to get his father's attention by messing around, but failed several times.But when he worked hard and really made achievements, he suddenly noticed that his father had been watching his efforts behind his back.

Li cried again, and the tears couldn't stop streaming down.

"I'm crying again. You can't cry when you go to Chang'an to do business. You can't cry no matter how hard the road in Luoyang is." Wu smiled and took out a handkerchief, but he was a little short of height. Shui Siyuan knelt down on one knee and let Wu step on his own knee, and then wiped Li's tears.

Li smiled again, smiling like a fool.

Wu Ye smiled and patted Li on the forehead: "Hurry up and finish eating and go to work!"

"Yes, Aunt Mingyue!" Li happily ran away.

In Luoyang, Li Yuanxing was sitting in a daze in his study, with a medical case in hand.

After reviewing the medical records again, Li Yuanxing ordered: "Where is old Li Tou now? If he is in the city, let him come to see this king."

After a while, Old Li came to Li Yuanxing's study.

"What are you busy with?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile.

"Your Highness, those flooded lands are good lands, but the canals are not well repaired. The drainage is not good, and the water supply is not good. The little old man is saying that the officials in charge of agricultural affairs in Luoyang should plan it out. They didn’t quite understand after a long time. The little old man is calculating how to squeeze out a day to go to the field and draw a line for them!”

Li Yuanxing poured a cup of tea for Lao Litou with a smile, and Lao Litou got up quickly: "I killed the little old man."

"It's okay! My king asks you, when can the corn be harvested?"

"Your Highness, according to His Highness's Xiannong book, corn is divided into "milk" cooked, wax cooked, and fully cooked. If you want to cook it, the taste is good, and you have to wait until it is cooked. The little old man went to the field to see it. It takes another 20 days to eat so little, and it needs to be put into the warehouse when it is really ripe. It should not be too late to preserve the green storage, and it will take about [-] days to put it in the first and middle stages of ripening."

After Old Li finished speaking, Li Yuanxing nodded slightly.

"Your Highness is worried about Old General Qu's condition?" Old Li asked softly. (to be continued..)
