The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 56 Isn’t this a perfect match?

The large iron pot that was recently ordered at home came in handy for stewing big fish.

In order to better remove the fishy smell, Li Xiaoyue fried all the fish in meat oil.

Add water, soybean paste, green onion and ginger to the pot to bring out the strong flavor, then put the fish in, bring to a boil over high heat for a few minutes, then start to simmer over low heat.

The prepared dough pancake should be about half the size of a palm, and then stick it to the edge of the pot. When one side is golden and crispy, shovel it off and continue to stick it to the second pot.

When the fish is stewed, sprinkle a handful of coriander on it to instantly enhance the flavor of the stewed fish.

In the past, I always ate wheat rice, bean rice, or flatbread, which only made me full and tasted bad.

Since her family made money, Li Xiaoyue spent "a lot of money" to buy a bag of rice and make a large pot of rice.

The fish soup with rice is also quite delicious.

In the evening, Gongsun Lian kept praising here, "Ms. Li's craftsmanship is really different."

Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Now that I have the conditions, I just want to make something delicious. It's just that spices are too expensive now. It would be great if we had seeds and could plant them. Since the spices are cheap, we can make more delicious food."

"Spice?" Gongsun Lian thought for a moment and planned to bring some to Li Xiaoyue next time he came over.

The spices are a bit expensive, but the Gongsun family can eat whatever they want.

Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes, let me spend money to buy it. Even if I can afford it, I won't buy it. Mr. Gongsun, if you have a caravan over there, or other channels, get the seeds."

"Our Dayan is so big, with all kinds of climates spread all over the world. I don't believe we can't grow those spices."

Gongsun Lian laughed, this Lady Li is really interesting.

Others just think about how to use spices, but Mrs. Li can always think better and think more deeply about how to grow them.

"This is a very good idea. Spices can be used as gold in Dayan, which shows how precious they are. People from those foreign countries use spices to make huge profits from Dayan every year, and they also buy silk and porcelain from Dayan and transport them back. Another good business with huge profits.”

Li Xiaoyue is also greedy, but long-distance caravans, especially cross-border ones, are not as convenient as planes, trains and ships like in the previous life.

"Everything in the world is bustling for profit; everything in the world is bustling for profit. No one will do anything that is not beneficial."

"It's like this when doing business from north to south. Mr. Gongsun, don't just talk and eat your cake and eat it."

Gongsun Lian ate fish soup with rice and found it delicious.

The pancakes are also good, crispy and fragrant.

Qin Yuyao held the bowl and ate with her head lowered, listening to everyone's conversation, especially what Gongsun Lian said.

She wanted to filter out the useful ones, but found that there was no important gain except that Gongsun Lian was familiar with Lady Li.

After Gongsun Lian had eaten, he left with Niu Dazhuang.

Niu Dazhuang followed Gongsun Lian and asked in a low voice: "Military advisor, you and Aunt Li..."

"Shut up!" Gongsun Lian scolded. When Niu Dazhuang opened his mouth, he knew exactly what Niu Dazhuang was going to fart. "Ms. Li is definitely not something ordinary women can compare to. Never say anything offensive to Mrs. Li in the future."

Niu Dazhuang's thousands of words were all blocked by the military advisor.

Although he didn't know why the military advisor respected Lady Li so much, Niu Dazhuang felt that the military advisor was unparalleled in intelligence and wisdom, and Lady Li was definitely outstanding.

Isn't this a perfect match?Anyway, he likes Aunt Li very much. Although her skin is a bit dark, her facial features are still good.

The most important thing is that the new things made by Aunt Li are particularly delicious.

It must be very happy to be Aunt Li's son. Alas, he has been an orphan since he was a child, so he will not be so lucky.

Back in the military camp, Gongsun Lian saw Major General Huo practicing his sword. After waiting for a while, he stepped forward and said, "Major General, my subordinates have a secret report."

"Oh?" Major General Huo rarely sees such a solemn expression on the military counselor's face, "Commander, please, Da Zhuang, Huo Yi, guard outside."

"Yes!" Huo Yi, Major General Huo's personal guard, flew up to the roof and looked around.

Niu Dazhuang was guarding the door, serious and serious.

When they arrived in the study, Gongsun Lian told them what they learned about Qin Zheng and Qin Yuyao from Li Xiaoyue today.

General Huo smiled and said, "It's rare that Mrs. Li is observant enough to find something fishy. Anyway, there are countless people spying on me, and there are not many like this one, and they are still in the Li family, so Qin Yuyao can't make trouble. I will avoid it from now on. Click, and it’ll be fine.”

"Major General is wise." Gongsun Lian complimented Major General Huo, "Lian has another important thing to report here, and it has been classified as a top-secret mission."

General Huo was stunned. "Commander, if you have any ideas, just say it. When I came back from the capital, my father said that you are someone I can trust completely."

Gongsun Lian's expression was solemn, "Actually, this is what Madam Li gave me. In our impression, gunpowder can only make firecrackers and beautiful fireworks, but by improving the proportions..."

General Huo was stunned for a moment, and after careful consideration, he felt that what the military advisor said could very well become a reality.

If he had such a sharp weapon, he would be confident of winning the battle against Qi's invasion.

"Military advisor, this matter will be supervised by you personally and must be kept confidential." Major General Huo looked solemn. "Actually, since the imperial court sent people to take over Zhenxi Pass, I don't have full confidence in Qi's invasion."

"During this period, I am training troops here, and there are still people watching over Zhenxiguan. Military advisor, you are specifically responsible for gunpowder weapons,"

Gongsun Lian nodded, "Yes, Major General. Tomorrow I will send people to Fucheng or even further places to invite a few people who know how to make gunpowder. There are many dense forests in Dongshan, and even if we test it in there, no one will know. "

"As for saltpeter, charcoal, sulfur and other materials, they can all be found in our Lanshan County."

General Huo nodded, "Military advisor, it must be kept secret. If the power of gunpowder becomes greater, then the craftsmen who make the gunpowder must be strictly controlled. Those with families should all get it here and find a special area for them to live."

"Yes, Major General." Gongsun Lian agreed. The top priority now is to improve the gunpowder ratio and then make a powerful weapon.

At the same time, Li Xiaoyue was copying the account books and calculating the accounts carefully.

When encountering some larger numbers, she can only use the vertical position, which is a bit slow.

It would be great if you have an abacus!

Yes, how can we not have such a good thing like abacus?

Abacus mental arithmetic is easier than today's arithmetic, and the calculation speed is faster.

Just as Li Xiaoyue was happily counting the money, there was a burst of noise outside.

Li Changfu went to look at the door and saw his uncle outside, with two tall and thick men tied up beside him. "Uncle, who are these two people?"
