When Yang Haiyan heard this, she was first surprised that Master Du had arrived. To be honest, she was really surprised. Then there was the nervousness. No matter whether she was facing the male protagonist, the female protagonist, or Wei Ting, she was never nervous. The male protagonist and the female protagonist were still 꿁year-old girls at that time. She said something ugly and didn't even feel the slightest bit nervous. It could also be said that she took it seriously. Of course, I don't take this kind of thing lightly, it means that she is an aunt of 2 to 8 years old, and she will be afraid of young people from 2 to 8 years old, and she still knows the plot.

Facing Wei Ting and Manager Chi, she truly understood how power existed. However, this is the same as facing Duko. This is an old fox who has been in power for half her life in the novel. Her little thoughts are enough to be seen in front of her.

Therefore, how could Yang Haiyan be nervous?

Speaking of which, in addition to being nervous, there is also a sense of expectation. Du Ke can be said to have a celebrity effect for Yang Haiyan. As if she had traveled to a novel written by Song Dynasty Yan, she would look forward to seeing Bao Zheng. Traveling through the novels of the Tang Dynasty, she would look forward to seeing Di Renjie

Although Du Ke, Bao Zheng and Di Renjie have the same personalities, they do mean different things to Qi Guo. In other words, Du Ke and Di Renjie are closer. Du Ke is an outstanding politician and military strategist.

So, can Yang Haiyan be afraid and expectant?

"I know, I will arrange it. You go back to the general and ask for it." Yang Haiyan knew what Qin Fang meant, so she specifically told Master Du that she hadn't eaten yet, so she told her to hurry up and prepare the meal. mean.

Qin Fang valued Du Ke, which was the beginning of the military camp. In the military camp, they talked privately about Qian 꽬长놅. Du Ke proposed Wei Wu, and Qin Fang proposed Han Zhen. Qin Fang was also nervous at that time, deeply afraid that Du Ke would agree. But Duko didn't and listened to 놛놅's analysis. At that time, Du Ke felt that this gentleman was the same as those senior officials.

Later, when he arrived in Huanshui County, Du Ke was the imperial envoy. Qin Fang accompanied Du Ke and watched him solve the problem of the old man's surname. At that time, he believed that Du Ke was a good official.

Later, Du Ke replied with a letter and gave detailed advice. Du Ke responded, and Qin Fang naturally felt it. As smart as Qin Fang, his feelings for Du Ke went from being a high-ranking official, a good official, to looking forward to having a good teacher and friend.

What makes Qin Fang most happy is that Du Ke's letter this time talked about accepting disciples. In ancient times, teachers were like relatives and mothers. Qin Fang was born in a poor family, and his grandparents and mother had little or no ability to provide him with education and guidance. Among the two-year-olds, and even most of the generation, the one who can give guidance to me must be the future teacher, that is, Du Ke. Therefore, Qin Fang respects him very much, as if he is a relative.

Yang Haiyan understands the relationship between Qin Fang and Du Ke, so she will entertain Du Ke well. However, she was also curious and looking forward to Du Ke.

Aunt Lian said: "Master Du is here, we must entertain him well. Mr. Xiang, how shall we entertain him?"

Minister of the Ministry of War, third grade. And 놊 minister, from the second grade.

Even though Yang Haiyan is also a genuine third-grade Xiangjun, this third-grade official is completely the same as Du Ke's third-grade official. One is a title, which means it sounds nicer, and the other is real power.

Not to mention comparing Yang Haiyan, even if they are both imperial officials of the third rank, there are still differences. Even if they are both ministers of the third rank of the Sixth Order, there are differences.

Now that the emperor has ascended the throne for the first time, all kinds of powers are being gathered. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of War is the most important.

Yang Haiyan said: "Mom, you don't have to be nervous. Mr. Du came from the capital and came from a noble family. What good things have you never seen? Why haven't you participated in a grand banquet? I'm afraid there is no one in the palace." We know the place. So, we can just do it normally.”

Aunt Lian was also very anxious, but when she heard that Yang Haiyan was right, she let go. "Does Xiang Jun have a plan?"

Yang Haiyan smiled and shook her head: "Where is the rules? Thinking about it, instead of spending time thinking about this and that, let's be more practical. Mr. Du thinks, I dare to guess, but I dare to guess. I feel that Mr. Du must want to see the real 놅놖 people.”

Aunt Lian didn't have any rules, so she could only say: "Listen to the Lord of the Country."

Yang Haiyan said: "Mommy, let's go to the small kitchen. Mr. Du immediately said, no matter how sumptuous the meal is, it's time to prepare it. Let's stew an egg custard first to warm Mr. Du's stomach, and then serve one. Liangpi. By the way, ask Niu Da, how many good watermelons can you pick? It doesn't matter if it is half-ripe. "Half-ripe watermelons can be juiced, or Cut it into pieces and add some sugar, it will taste good too.

Aunt Lian said: "Old slave, go now."

Yang Haiyan thought for a while and then said: "You can go and tell your grandparents, and also talk to the children at home, so that the children will not collide with Mr. Du and Mr. Shen who are coming with you."

Aunt Lian: "Yes, I understand."

Yang Haiyan asked again: "Is there enough ice in the icehouse?"

Aunt Lian: "There are plenty of them, and they are replenished every day."

Yang Haiyan thought of ice and the ice-cold mung bean soup inside, and then she thought of milk shaved ice. The taste is amazing. It’s a pity that milk shaved ice is so easy to make. No matter whether it is stone ground or crushed by people, it still has the silky texture of modern milk shaved ice.

Grandma Lian went to the fruit garden to find Niu Da, and Yang Haiyan started making custard. Steaming egg custard is very fast, it takes a quarter of an hour. The custard was cooked, nestled in the pot, and Grandma Lian came back. When Yang Haiyan was about to go take a look, there was movement outside. Aunt Yu said at the door: "Xiangjun, the general has brought Mr. Du to the outer courtyard and sent someone to inform you."

Upon hearing this, Yang Haiyan hurriedly said: "I know, change your clothes and go to the fruit garden to call Aunt Lian."

Aunt Yu: "Yes..."

Aunt Lian said at the same time: "Xiangjun, the old slave is back. Niu Xuan selected some watermelons and brought them with him."

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she had to change her clothes and watched Niu Da pick out the watermelons and put them in a small basket. There were eight in total. Yang Haiyan said: "Choose four, wash them, and then freeze them. By the way, Aunt Lian, you can go to the outer courtyard with me."

Aunt Lian: "Yes."

Yang Haiyan changed her clothes, washed her face, and then went to the outer courtyard with Aunt Lian.

outer courtyard

Qin Fang, Du Ke, and Shen Lixian were resting in the hall. They came all the way and were not only hungry but also tired. Fortunately, there is ice in the hall to cool down, so I can take a breather. If it were normal times and there was no one in this hall, where would the ice be prepared? That is to say, saltpeter is now available for making ice, and saltpeter can be used repeatedly, so it is not painful for Yang Haiyan to use ice.

Du Ke said: "This former Liang Prince's Palace, now two years later, is really a luxurious and glorious palace." Except for the size that can be seen with the naked eye, who can tell that this place is It was once a royal palace.

Shen Lixian followed: "It was General Qin's saving, so a lot of silver was used to repair the General's Mansion." Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the General's Mansion has hardly been repaired, so it probably fits the general's mansion. ‌After removing the things, let’s repair the leaky areas.

Qin Fang said: "Thank you, Mr. Shen. This general's mansion is big and spacious. Qin has never lived in such a nice place in his generation. This mansion is big, and it is very troublesome to repair it. I have a lot of idle time." The courtyard has been demolished and converted into a fruit garden and a vegetable garden. In the past, the vegetables in the house were all picked from the vegetable garden, which was very convenient, Zhuo Jing said. The mansion is big enough for her to change."

Du Ke laughed loudly after hearing this: "Xiang Jun is a wonderful man."

Shen Lixian was also curious about that person. From an ordinary girl to a general's wife, and then to a country king, Yang Haiyan's actions were full of miracles.

"Thank you for your compliment. I am brave enough to be a wonderful person. It's just that I was used to being lazy in the past. Thank you for your disdain." Yang Haiyan said as she walked in.

It's summer, and the woman is very young in a goose-yellow skirt. Of course, she was eight years old and was originally young. For example, among those wives or women with titles in the capital, she looks relatively clean and fresh, but looks lively and sexy.

Yang Haiyan came in and gave a junior salute to the first middle-aged man: "Qin Yang's Haiyan has met you, sir." They are both genuine, and Du Ke is Qin Fang's teacher, although the apprenticeship ceremony has not yet taken place. It was held, but Yang Haiyan’s junior ceremony was more appropriate.

Du Ke met Yang Haiyan for the first time, and she was the same as the smart woman he imagined. Although this Lord of Bingyun Village is smart and smart, his eyes are clear and calm, and he looks at himself with curiosity and nervousness. He seems to have advocated the land policy of the military camp and the method of making ice with saltpeter. Du Ke originally thought that a woman who could advocate the land policy of the military camp and discover saltpeter to make ice was a shrewd woman, just like the grandiose women he had seen in the past.

But the young woman in front of me did not. She is just like...an ordinary girl. No wonder Qin Fang is often talked about as "Han". Speaking of which, this girl has an aura of "떚놅" in her body.

Du Ke said: "We are all one family, so we must be polite."

Yang Haiyan stood up with a smile: "Thank you in advance." Then Yang Haiyan gave Shen Lixian a polite woman's salute, "Hello, Mr. Shen."

Shen Lixian raised his eyebrows: "Does the Lord recognize 놖?" This question was a test. Logically speaking, this was the first time 놛 came here, and the Lord of Bingyun had never seen 놛놅 before. So this sentence seems to be saying that it was Mr. Du who informed you of something.

Yang Haiyan smiled and said: "I used to be the maidservant of the Pearl of the Yang family. When I was with Miss Yang, I met Lord Shen." It really didn't matter what he said, because Yang Haiyan's words really pointed out the fault.

Shen Lixian said: "That's it."

Qin Fang said: "Yanyan, the teacher and Mr. Shen have been at the feet of the beast for two hours. They haven't eaten yet. Do you have food at home?"

Yang Haiyan said: "My husband sent someone to tell me that it's time to start preparing. It's already ready now. However, today is an auspicious day. Teacher Qingqing and Master Shen specially chose today to come." She said while looking outside He said, "Come here, bring the food in."

Aunt Lian came in with someone carrying a lunch box.

Du Ke was quite curious and asked: "Why is it such auspicious day when you and Li Xian arrive?" Who likes to hear good things? 꾨Especially when he was praised by the smart little girl, just like he was praised by his daughter, Du Ke felt a little kind 꿵놅뀞.

Not to mention Du Ke, even Shen Lixian was curious.

Yang Haiyan said: "Because in half an hour, I discovered a kind of crop, which is a vegetable and can also be eaten as fruit. This kind of crop takes two months from sowing to picking, and it is easy to grow."

When Du Ke heard this, he immediately became happy: "Really that? This is indeed a happy event."

Yang Haiyan said: "I have already prepared this food, and I would like to ask Teacher and Master Shen to try it."

Aunt Lian and her servants took out the steamed eggs and cold skin from the lunch box.

Yang Haiyan said: "I was busy with time, so I made two kinds of food. I asked the teacher and Mr. Shen for your forgiveness. The steamed eggs have already cooled down, so you can taste them first. The one on the plate is cold skin made of sweet potato flour. Noodles, the green shreds added to the cold noodles are what I call a vegetable that can also be used as a fruit, called courgette.”

The steamed eggs are fragrant and topped with shrimps, which is very appetizing. And because the steamed eggs have already cooled down, they are as hot as when they are freshly cooked, so eating them with cold noodles will not cause stomach upset due to the cold or heat. Although it is a homely food and it is a very common steamed egg, it is indeed more appetizing than big fish and meat. It's so hot in the summer, it makes people's appetite worse.

Du Ke took a mouthful of egg custard, and the warm taste was soothing from his mouth to his stomach. Moreover, this egg custard is not only delicious, bright in color, soft in texture and very elastic. He has never eaten steamed eggs before, but the ones he usually eats at home are not as good-looking as the ones in front of him, no matter the color, flavor or taste.

Du Ke took several bites of the egg custard, then took off his chopsticks and ate the cold noodles. A mouthful of cold skin noodles went into his mouth, and Du Ke opened his eyes wide: "This tastes special and makes people appetite." More importantly, it is also cool, which makes people feel comfortable all over the body.

Shen Lixian agreed: "This is still sour. Are you jealous?"

Yang Haiyan said: "What Mr. Shen said is that vinegar is indeed added. In summer, everyone loses their appetite, and acetic acid can make people appetizing."

Shen Lixian: "The countryman must be very knowledgeable about food. General Qin is really lucky."

The lucky General Qin said sourly at this time: "In Zhuo Jing's eyes, the guest has already forgotten me." He also wanted to eat.

After everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing. Even the taste of food is so natural. In the whole court, General Qin is also 놙놋.

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she had really forgotten about Qin Fang, and immediately said: "Mr. Sir, please wait a moment, I will prepare it for you." After saying that, she saluted Du Ke and Shen Lixian, and then withdrew. .

After Yang Haiyan retired, Du Ke praised: "My student is really lucky to have a good wife."

Shen Lixian smiled but did not agree. He is the same as Du Ke. Du Ke is the elder and it is not appropriate to praise the country gentleman. However, he is the same generation as Qin Fang and it is not appropriate to praise his wife.

Qin Fang actually likes others to praise his wife, and is even happier than praising him. When you praise him, he will be modest. When you praise his wife, he will be modest. Therefore Qin Fang said: "Zhuojing is very good."

When Yang Haiyan returned to the inner courtyard, she asked Qin Fang to send him a bowl of cold noodle soup first, including steamed eggs. Then she asked Aunt Lian to bring the frozen watermelon.

Yang Haiyan cut a watermelon first, and one-third of the whole watermelon was red. She dug out the red side, and then cut the third one. The third one was the same, one-third was red, but the third one was better, it was all red.

Yang Haiyan crushed the meat of the watermelon, squeezed out a full bowl of watermelon juice, and then had it delivered.

At this moment, the people in the hall had already taken care of Liangpi. In fact, for Du Ke and Shen Lixian, who had been hungry for so long, a bowl of egg custard and a bowl of cold noodles were not enough to fill their stomachs, not to mention that the man had a big appetite.

So they were really shocked when they saw the servants coming up with a bowl of red tea.

Du Ke asked curiously: "What kind of tea is this?"

Qin Fang's eyes lit up when he saw the watermelon juice: "Is the watermelon ripe?"

The servant said: "Not yet, the Lord has prepared a watermelon to drink this juice."

Qin Fang nodded, let people go down, and then explained to Du Ke and Shen Lixian: "This is watermelon juice, and watermelon is a kind of fruit. When we were at the border last year, the traveling merchants in Zhuojing bought fruit seeds, and watermelon is One of them. This watermelon tastes really good. Teacher and Master Shen will know it after tasting it."

Du Ke and Shen Lixian looked at the slightly cold, red water in the bowl, juice? They haven't drunk anything like this before. They knew about the fruit, but no one in the capital could crush the fruit to produce juice. They cut the fruit into pieces and ate it.

놙놊After tasting it, I realized that this fruit called watermelon is really delicious. Suddenly, the two of them looked at Qin Fang with envy. Compared with Qin Fang's life, the life they lived before was just a life. The main reason is that the country gentleman is very good at making food.

After drinking the watermelon juice, Qin Fang took them to rest. After traveling for several days, everyone could see the exhaustion on their faces.

Shen Lixian's yard is the one where Manager Chi lived that day, and Du Ke's yard is on the other side. Because Wei Ting was still in Yunxiang County, the courtyard where Wei Ting had been entertained that day did not arrange for anyone to stay in it, in case Wei Ting came over and stayed here.

Qin Fang sent Shen Lixian to the courtyard first, and then Du Ke. "Teacher, you rest here first, and the students will have a nice gathering with you in the evening."

Du Ke nodded: "Well, go ahead and do your work."

Qin Fang respectfully stepped back.

Du Ke watched Qin Fang retreat and didn't turn around to rest immediately. He ran for a bath first and sat in the tub, thinking about what would happen after arriving in Yunxiang County.

But the one who thinks the most is Yang Haiyan. Looking back carefully, from the military camp fields, saltpeter ice making, to bean flour and sweet potato flour, to today's watermelon, this girl is not as simple as she appears.

His elders said that Qin Fang was a lucky man, but in Du Ke's opinion, maybe the real lucky man was the country gentleman.

Watermelon, courgette.

Du Ke knew something about the Hu tribe. He had heard of a tribe that migrated while wandering in the past, but it deserved his attention. Today, he heard the village gentleman talk about the Hu tribe and Hugua. Du Ke suddenly had an idea. Many 께 tribesmen are easily ignored because they can even count a 께 power. But in fact, this family also has all precious things.

For example, the Hu people’s courgettes. How can this kind of crop, which is easy to grow and takes a short time, be a treasure to the common people?

Look at the watermelon that the countryman brought out today, and the seeds he bought from the traveling merchants. This kind of fruit is indeed something that they have never seen in the country, and even the emperor has not missed it. Du Ke suddenly had an idea. If people could travel to various tribes and then record all the precious things from these tribes and bring them back to Qi State, it would be very important to the development of Qi State. To do?

If Yang Haiyan knew about Du Ke's thoughts, she would be even more surprised. Because this is similar to Zhang Qian’s mission to the Western Regions and Zheng He’s voyages to the West.

Du Ke is a strict self-discipline person, and he will definitely fall asleep when his thoughts are on his mind. So he asked his entourage to prepare his belongings and write down his thoughts about watermelons and courgettes. After recording it, he began to write the notes for the emperor.

Qin Fang returned to the inner courtyard, but before he could speak, Aunt Yu said: "General, Xiangjun has a big kitchen."

Qin Fang nodded and went to the big kitchen again.

There is a man in the big kitchen, Kun Zhang and others are all attacking Yang Haiyan today. He said that Wei Ting and Manager Chi prepared food, and Yang Haiyan was so concerned about it. They all prepared it in the big kitchen. Du Ke came today, and she spent a lot of money on it. Be prepared with your mind.

"See you, general." Seeing Qin Fang coming, everyone hurriedly saluted.

Yang Haiyan turned around: "Why are you here? Are you accompanying Mr. Du?"

Qin Fang said: "I sent the teacher back to the courtyard to rest, but do you want me to help you?"

Yang Haiyan said: "No, I will prepare the dinner by myself today. You are also tired. It is not dinner time yet, so go and rest for a while."

Qin Fang said: "I'm tired." He has a strong body and runs up and down the beast mountain every day. This physical fitness is beyond the comparison of ordinary people. How can he be tired? "By the way, Yanyan, I'll invite Mr. Wei to come to my house tomorrow night."

I mean, we have to prepare a dinner party tomorrow.

Yang Haiyan said: "Okay, I understand. Let's prepare a family meal tonight and make a big splash."

Qin Fang said: "Okay. But this year's watermelon matured earlier than last year. Last year, it didn't mature until August." He remembered the taste of watermelon very well, especially when he came back from the rain, he could eat half of it, and he was scooping it up with a spoon. Eating is very interesting.

Yang Haiyan said: "Well, this year's watermelons are not ripe yet. Only one out of four is ripe. Even if it is ripe, the taste is still sweet enough. It will not be much different after more than half a month." Guo Niu said , The land here is much more fertile than that over the border, and the crops mature faster than those over the border.”

Qin Fang understands this matter. "It's still awesome."

Yang Haiyan smiled and didn't answer, but she could praise other men in front of Qin Fang: "Then when we have dinner today, let's pick up my grandparents, father and mother, and let them get to know Mr. Du." ‌When Mr. Wei comes tomorrow, my father and mother will be on the table. I'm afraid they are used to it."

Qin Fang said: "Okay, you are still thoughtful."
