Chapter 203 This trip is worth it

Tan Wenqing and other servants of the Shen family were already waiting in the cornfield. They only waited for Shen Zhuoyun and the others to arrive before they started breaking the corn.

Shen Zhuoyun and Emperor Jingwen led a group of people to the cornfield. When they saw Tan Wenqing, their faces changed.

Most of them have been to restaurants or theaters, and they all know that Tan Wenqing is the steward of Divine Doctor Shen's property in the capital. Now that Tan Wenqing has appeared in the Shen family, he is a servant of the Shen family. Who is Divine Doctor Shen? The answer is ready to come out.

King Qi, Duke Zhen Guo, and Zhou Shaocheng almost broke their silver teeth. They were being played with by others without even realizing it. It was so embarrassing.

Emperor Jingwen didn't care what the princes and civil and military officials behind him complained about. At this moment, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the ground to break corn with Shen Zhuoyun.

Seeing this, the others could only follow him to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Tan Wenqing left the cornfield for the ministers to break the corn, and he took his servants at home to peel the corn kernels.

After Emperor Jingwen broke off the corn, he also peeled the corn kernels. Shen Jia's servants were so excited that tears filled their eyes. They were people who had worked with the emperor and could boast about it for a lifetime.

Su Hao was already waiting by the side with a scale. He only waited for the corn kernels in one acre of land to be peeled before he started weighing them. He still called Zhou Shaocheng together to record the quantity.

Although Zhou Shaocheng was extremely reluctant, his immediate superior ordered him to do so, and the emperor was watching from the sidelines, so he could only stand beside him.

Zhou Shaocheng covered his palms with his wide sleeves so that no one could see the blood on them, "Your Majesty, the yield per mu is eight hundred kilograms."

"Hahaha, okay, with this high-yielding grain, the people of Zhou will never go hungry again." Emperor Jingwen said loudly.

"Your Majesty is blessed with great blessings!" The ministers below all complimented him.

Emperor Jingwen raised his hand and immediately became quiet, "Shen Aiqing, why is the yield grown here so much higher than that in Lingnan?"

Shen Zhuoyun cupped his hands and said: "Back to the emperor, that's because the wasteland planted in Lingnan is newly cultivated barren mountain and has no fertility at all, so the yield will be hundreds of kilograms less."

Emperor Jingwen nodded: "The newly opened wasteland has such a high yield, which is already very good. Please take me to see pumpkins and peanuts."

"Okay, Your Majesty, please go this way."

Several princes and ministers followed them silently. The yield of sweet potatoes was 1,500 kilograms per mu, and the yield of corn was 800 kilograms per mu. If they had not seen this yield with their own eyes, they would never believe it. The yield was so huge. Taller.

Shen Zhuoyun picked a pumpkin and weighed it, weighing more than ten kilograms. "Your Majesty, this is a pumpkin. You can cook it and eat it, or add it to flour pancakes. It tastes pretty good."

Emperor Jingwen saw the pumpkins hanging on the melon shed and remembered that Chen'er had told him that he would personally make pumpkin cakes for him to eat after returning to Beijing. Now that Chen'er hasn't come back yet, why not have dinner at Shen's house at noon? He wants to eat pumpkin pie.

"Shen Aiqing, we will have dinner at Zhuangzi today at noon. You can use sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkins and other ingredients for everyone to eat. Let the ministers taste the taste of high-yielding grains." Emperor Jingwen would never admit that he himself I want to taste corn buns, pumpkin cakes, steamed sweet potatoes, and fried peanuts.

Shen Zhuoyun heard the elegant meaning of Xiange and immediately knew what Emperor Jingwen wanted to eat. He whispered a few words to Tan Wenqing, and Tan Wenqing bowed and left in a hurry.

Emperor Jingwen was even more satisfied with Shen Zhuoyun and felt that his in-laws were really good.

When several princes heard that their father was going to have a meal at Zhuangzi, they felt very uncomfortable. Their father had not even had a meal in their palace! It was so unusual to take them to eat in a rural village at this moment.

Shen Zhuoyun then took Emperor Jingwen to see peanuts. Shen Zhuoyun pulled out a peanut and said, "Your Majesty, this is a peanut. Peanuts can be boiled, fried, and oil can be squeezed. Peanut oil has been squeezed out in Lingnan."

Emperor Jingwen nodded and asked, "Chen'er said that peanut oil is particularly fragrant. Has the peanut oil from Lingnan arrived?"

Shen Zhuoyun shook his head: "Not yet."

A trace of regret flashed in Emperor Jingwen's eyes. He also wanted to taste the fragrance of the peanut oil that Chen'er praised so much. He looked up and saw a sea of ​​flowers not far away, and asked curiously: "What is growing over there?" "That piece is a sunflower, and the melon seeds are the seeds of the sunflower." Shen Zhuoyun explained.

"Let's go and have a look with me." After Emperor Jingwen said that, he strode towards the patch of sunflowers.

Shen Zhuoyun was secretly amused. The emperor looked very much like the way he had just seen the sea of ​​sunflowers. He had been watching it for almost two years, and sometimes he still couldn't help but look at it for a quarter of an hour or two.

Naturally, all the courtiers saw Sunflower, and their walking pace was obviously much faster than before. Even Prince An quickly caught up with his dear brother.

"Wow! I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful sea of ​​flowers in the capital. It was worth it to go out with the emperor." Prince An approached Emperor Jingwen and smiled.

Emperor Jingwen glanced at him and said, "I think it's worth it. Look, they all look shocked."

Prince An followed Emperor Jingwen's line of sight and saw all the important officials in the court staring at the sea of ​​flowers with their mouths agape. Some of them were even inspired by poetry and started composing poems.

Even Qing Pingbo, Chen Yanjun, Wen Mingrui and others are no exception.

If Shen Jia were here, he would definitely say something about the common problem of literati.

Until Qin Wenqing came over to invite them to have a meal, Emperor Jingwen and others reluctantly left the field where the sunflowers were planted.

Emperor Jingwen's lunch was cooked by Gu himself, and Gu didn't deliberately make any delicacies. As he wished, he made corn buns, pumpkin cakes, steamed sweet potatoes, fried peanuts, stuffed pumpkins, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and boiled eggs. Fish, the staple food is rice, and the wine brewed by Shenjia Winery.

The other people's meals were prepared by two cooks.

Shen Zhuoyun opened two tables in the dining room where they usually ate. One table was for Emperor Jingwen, and the other was for Prince An and several princes.

Other ministers were arranged in Zhuangzi's dining hall.

The guards arranged to eat in another courtyard.

After Emperor Jingwen sat down, Fulu wanted to test the poison, but Emperor Jingwen stopped him and refused his service.

Seeing this, Shen Zhuoyun stepped forward and whispered: "Eunuch Fu, I have prepared food for you in the small dining room."

When Fulu saw Emperor Jingwen waving him away, he went to eat, and his affection for Shen Zhuoyun doubled.

Emperor Jingwen called Prince An to come and have dinner with him, and Prince An immediately came over.

The two brothers chatted while eating.

"Brother, this pumpkin pie is very good!"

"Drinking wine and eating peanuts, absolutely."

"Hey! This steamed sweet potato is also good."

Prince An and Emperor Jingwen moved their index fingers and ate with gusto.

Most people think that high-yielding grain must be extremely unpalatable food. Unexpectedly, every food tastes very good. In addition, Shen Zhuoyun brought out good wine, which is also good wine that even rich people cannot buy. Most people His affection for Shen Zhuoyun slowly increased.

The meal served at Shenjiazhuangzi was recognized by most people.
