Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

After tasting the dishes one by one, Li Gang put down his chopsticks and pondered: "in ancient times, grain was the first thing to satisfy hunger, and then there was a way to adjust the taste after satiety. Not to mention sweet potato, which can satisfy hunger and produce high yield. In the year of famine, the bark and grass roots are also eaten by people, not to mention sweet potato? As long as the yield is high, it is a treasure! As for cooking methods, everyone has his own tricks, so there is no need to worry about it

The old man is a man of understanding! People should first meet the basic requirements, and only when the basic requirements are met can they have the energy to pursue higher enjoyment.

Xue Lang arched his hand and said, "thank you very much for your advice. I'd like to have a toast to him. Is the wine coming? "

"Delivered."

Pingyang princess a listen, the way: "come on quickly."

"Here it is."

The Chamberlain immediately brought up the wine, and Changjian brought a jar. Xue Lang took a look at the wine set. What the waiter brought was a green glaze wine cup, so Xue Lang said, "can there be a white porcelain cup?"

The internal servant was slightly stupefied and replied: "return to Xue consultation, some."

"Change the porcelain cup."

The Chamberlain took orders and left. Princess Pingyang asked curiously, "Youyang, do you still have requirements for wine when you drink it?"

Xue Lang said: "this jar of wine is peach blossom wine. The wine is pink in color. If you use quilts of other colors, you won't show its advantages. If you use white porcelain cups, or amniotic jade cups or glass cups, you can just match the color of the liquor. The beauty of my peach blossom wine can be revealed only when it is complete in color and fragrance. "

Li Gang's family background is not bad, and his family is also a famous official for many years. Of course, his taste is not bad. He praised: "Xue Ziyi is really an elegant person. I can't imagine that there are so many stresses on drinking."

Xue Langxin said that it's a pity that the wine making technology is not as developed as later generations. Otherwise, my brother would recite the part written by Mr. Jin Yong in "Xiaoao Ao Jiang Hu" and pretend to be forced. It's a pity that those famous wines have not yet come into the world. A bellyful of forced words, but there is not a suitable opportunity to say, life is really how lonely!

Well, Xue Lang's thinking is divergent again. However, he recovered quickly, for the waiter brought the white porcelain cup. White porcelain has a long history in ancient Chinese history. It is said that white porcelain has existed since the Han Dynasty and also in the Tang Dynasty.

As a princess of Pingyang, everything in her house is of course exquisite. This set of white porcelain wine set is as white as jade, yingying and lustrous, which can be regarded as the top grade of porcelain.

Before Xue's family had changed, the painting teacher Xue Lang followed was a famous one. In addition to painting, he studied calligraphy, sculpture, glass ware design, etc. Xue Lang had the longest time with him. Now, Xue Lang has the current capacity of drinking. Besides Xue Lang's father, this teacher also has to share half of the responsibility.

The teacher was a real artist. In order to cultivate Xue Lang's aesthetic taste, the teacher took Xue Lang to dabble in many things. Unfortunately, Xue Lang had no talent in art, and he only had great craftsmanship and no aura when he studied again. Now, thanks to his abnormal memory, all these activities have become the knowledge and skills that Xue Longming never forgets.

After that, she poured the wine into the wine pot and held the pot by herself. First, she poured a cup to Princess Pingyang --

the pink liquor was poured out and fell into the white wine cup. The White was full of red, just like a red flower in the snow.

The color is beautiful and the taste is not inferior. The taste of the wine was not strong, but the aroma of peach blossom lingered in the nose. Princess Pingyang's eyes moved. She lifted her glass and said, "Youyang says that you have all kinds of color and fragrance. Now you have color and fragrance, but you don't taste it. Please give it to Li Shangshu. Let's have a taste of this peach blossom wine."

"Here it is."

Xue Lang answered, went to Li Gang's place and poured him a cup. He was also praised by Li Gang: "thank you very much. Such a beautiful wine should be enjoyed and tasted."

Xue Lang sat back to his seat and poured himself a glass. Princess Pingyang, as the host, naturally wanted to drink to the guest: "Li Shangshu, please!"

"Please!"

The wine was really soft and mellow. The fragrance of flowers covered the taste of the liquor. Princess Pingyang said, "good wine! It's like drinking the flower dew. It's more mellow than the flower dew. It's good wine

Li Gang said: "I'm old and I like sweet food. This peach blossom wine is just right for my appetite. After drinking Xue Ziyi's wine, I feel like I'm in a trance when peach blossoms are all over the sky in spring. How wonderful it is

He praised Xue Lang and praised his wine making skills. With good wine and delicious food, the three people were eating and chatting. After drinking the sweet peach blossom wine and eating stewed vermicelli, he felt more delicious. Li Gang said, "what's Xue Zhiyi's plan for making this vermicelli?"

Before Xue Lang answered, Princess Pingyang said, "Youyang has already made a draft of this matter. However, before that, Pingyang wanted to send Youyang to Beijing to offer grain and auspicious omens, so as to show the benevolence of my sage. At that time, Youyang will present the method of making vermicelli and promotion strategies to the sage. "

"Cough, cough, cough!"

This is Xue Lang choking! This plan has never been said by Princess Pingyang! It seems that the political literacy gap between the two is similar to that of Mount Everest. Now it seems that Xue Lang is proud. The gap between the two is just the gap between the horizon and Mount Everest!

Xue Lang's original plan was to plant sweet potatoes, put high yields there, and make good fortune. Then how to publicize them is a matter for the imperial court. He didn't have to worry about it and wait for the reward.To Pingyang Princess here, the essence is the same thing, but the means is much better than Xue Lang. The royal highness of Princess! Xue Lang expressed his admiration!

Li Gang obviously agreed with Princess Pingyang's method: "the sweet potato yield is so amazing, the facts are there, it is time to tell the world. It's the right time to offer grain to Chang'an! "

Princess Pingyang asked, "so Li Shangshu doesn't object?"

Li Gang said: "this is a great auspicious sign. Why oppose it? However, in my opinion, it is better to wait for the potatoes to be harvested. If the yield is good, it would be better to report them together. "

Princess Pingyang waited for Li Gang's words. After hearing this, she said, "Li Shangshu is still old enough to seek his country. It's not too late for her to leave after the potatoes are harvested. Pingyang should be prepared first."

Li Gang said: "it is good to offer grain to Chang'an, but one thing needs to be prepared in advance."

Princess Pingyang said, "is Li Shangshu worried about escort?"

"Exactly."

Princess Pingyang said, "I have already advocated this. Please send one of the sixteen guards to meet you on the way. I'll send 50000 guards to escort the first half of the journey. "

Li Gang frowned and said, "if we transfer 50000 people, can Wei Ze pass guard against emptiness?"

Princess Pingyang said, "no harm! Youyang once taught me how to train soldiers. He trained a team of elite soldiers, named bear bottom, and let them garrison at that time. "

Li gangqi said: "Xue Ziyi can also train soldiers?"

Xue Lang was embarrassed to arch his hand and said with a smile: "in theory, it's a straw bag in practice."

That's so direct!

Li Gang laughed and said, "Xue Zi is too modest. It is originality for the royal highness of Pingyang to have more emphasis on the practice of military tactics. I came all the way to see the change of Weize pass. The princess said that it was Xue's contribution. I thought I had understood Xue's talent. Now it seems that it is only 34 / 10. After my return, I was recommended by the first sage. "
