Say it earlier! Yu Xiaocao rolled her eyes in her heart, and ordered the little eunuch who was far away to bring over a pot of clean water, untie the multicolored stone from her wrist, soak it in the clean water for a while, and then put the purple sand pot back on the On the tandoor.
"Is your rock clean or not? If I drink it, I won't have a stomachache, right?" Zhu Junfan asked for trouble. Seeing Xiaocao's actions, he automatically releases the spiritual power from the Sky-Mending Stone, thinking that he must contact the water through the colorful stone.
Before Xiaocao could speak, a golden light drifted out from the multicolored stones, forming the image of a palm-sized golden kitten on the stone table. Compared with a chubby doll, Xiaobutianshi prefers to show people in the image of a cat.
"Stupid human beings! The bath water of the God Stone has always been good for the human body, why would you have a stomachache? If you don't want to drink it, there will be people queuing up to drink it!" The golden cat stretched proudly, mouth One sheet and one sheet, the words spoken can only be heard by Xiaocao and Zhu Junfan.
Zhu Junfan looked at the purple sand pot on the clay stove, with an expression as if he stepped on a stool: "What? You said it was your bath water? Isn't it disgusting? How long have you not bathed?"
"Do you think that the god stone is as unhygienic as you humans? The god stone takes a bath every day, sometimes several times a day!" Xiaobutian stone is naturally hydrophilic, so it runs to nearby pools or wells from time to time to stay . However, its current spiritual power can be freely retracted, without the master's order, it will not easily let the spiritual power flow out.
In Zhu Junfan's ears, he understood it as: For the good of the crops, Xiaocao uses the sky-filling stone to make spirit stone water every day. It must not be easy for this small stone to produce enough spirit stone water. It seems that the small mending stone is not a panacea. Since the utility of the multicolored stone was not as good as he expected, he naturally lost the desire to possess it.
Thinking about it this way, the water on the stove boiled, waited for the water to cool down a bit, and re-washed and made tea. Before the tea is drunk, the fragrant and pleasant taste wafts away. The tea is still made of top-quality Dahongpao, which is said to be picked from a thousand-year-old tea tree on a cliff and made through a complicated process of frying tea. The output is just over two catties a year.
The re-brewed Dahongpao has a more mellow taste, and the fragrance is elegant and long-lasting. Having long forgotten whether bath water or not, Zhu Junyang sniffed the scent of the tea lightly, took a sip cherishingly, and the sweetness was simply irresistible.
"Hmm! That's the taste!" Zhu Junfan finished tasting the tea in the cup and poured a cup with his own hands. The third brewed tea seems to have a richer taste than the second brew.
Seeing that the emperor was only interested in drinking tea, seeming to have forgotten that she was still waiting for orders, Xiaocao said after the other party drank the third cup: "Your Majesty, you, Xuan Weichen, did not enter the palace just for this pot of tea, did you? "
"Of course not!" After drinking another cup, Zhu Junfan put down the cup with some unsatisfactory intentions, and said, "I've read the booklet on Junyang! You encouraged him to write this booklet, right?"
"Hey, I don't think it's a pity that the hills near Huangzhuang are deserted, so I decided to use the waste! Besides, if the fruits are produced, if they taste good, can I lose your share?" Yu Xiaocao accompanied the smiling face very dog-leggedly.
Zhu Junfan barely thought about it, then nodded and said: "There are too few types of fruits here, and the taste is not very good. The apples brought in as a tribute from Yantai are far from the taste of the red Fuji in the previous life. Pears have big cores, thick flesh, and juicy Not too much, not enough sweetness. Grapes are too sour and sweet... There is also watermelon, which is quite sweet, but what does the pulp look like? It is still the watermelon you planted, which is close to the appearance of the previous life. It is big, red in flesh, and sweet in taste Juicy! It shows that you are very good at growing fruits! Sure, the hills near Huangzhuang will be used by you for free. However, you have the full right to provide the fruits in the harem for free!"
"The fruits in this palace don't include those eunuchs and maids, right?" Yu Xiaocao frowned, bargaining.
Zhu Junfan pointed at her with his fingers, and said angrily and amusedly: "If all the hills near Huangzhuang were planted with fruit trees, let alone the palace, the entire capital would not be able to digest it. Let me tell you how stingy you are, even this little loss Refuse to eat?"
"With all the eunuchs and maids in this palace, there must be several hundred for every small thousand. If everyone provides it, how much fruit will be obtained! Small business, I can't bear such a toss!" Yu Xiaocao carried out the sting in the end.
"Okay! We only supply the masters of the palace and the eunuchs and maids of the chief executive level, and the total amount is only thirty or forty people. This is not good, is it not a loss?" Zhu Junfan said angrily.
Suddenly remembered another crop, and he continued: "There is also the greenhouse you mentioned. If you use glass, the cost is too high and you cannot plant it on a large scale. A few years ago, when I was playing with rubber wheels, I smashed it out. A kind of plastic film, the toughness is not bad, but the transparency is average. Because it is not very important, and it pollutes the environment, it will not be continued. If you plan to plant off-season vegetables in a large area, I will make a decree to let the Ministry of Industry Those people, work overtime to get it out for you?"
Yu Xiaocao was overjoyed, nodded like a pounding garlic, and said repeatedly: "It would be even better if there is plastic film! It's just entering summer, so don't worry, or... you can ask the people from the Ministry of Industry to improve it and see if it can be improved. Develop a plastic film with higher transparency?"
"Success! Isn't this a one-sentence matter? Don't underestimate the ability of the ancients. Sometimes I just put forward an idea and a preliminary concept, and they can quickly come up with a feasible plan. There is no lack of time in any age." talent!"
Zhu Junfan sighed. Because of his engineering background, he paid more attention to some craftsmen with special skills, and the Ministry of Industry gradually grew under his intentional training.
"Hey! If the greenhouse vegetables grow successfully, I will take care of the supply of vegetables in your palace!" Yu Xiaocao patted her chest and said in a big way.
Zhu Junfan glared at her and said: "Only provide vegetables for the palace? That's too cheap for you!! Huangzhuang will set aside 200 acres for you to try growing greenhouse vegetables. The income is four or six, I four you six! "
Just as Yu Xiaocao was about to protest, he stopped her and continued: "Don't open your mouth, I will settle the bill for you! The fields, plastic film, and labor are all paid by the imperial court. You only occupy the technical shares, and there is no reason for any benefits." Are you taking care of it all by yourself?"
Yu Xiaocao calmed down and thought about it. Indeed, apart from greenhouse technology and Lingshi water, she really couldn't help much. However, being given 40% of the profits for nothing, I felt very upset, and muttered: "The fields are ready-made, and the manpower is also on the Huangzhuang. You only produced plastic film, but you have to take up 40% of the profits." The profits are too dark, right?"
"If there is no plastic film, if you use glass to cover the greenhouse, the cost is high, how many acres can you grow? How much profit can you make? Have you calculated it? Now you are allocated more than 200 acres of land, and this is the first year. If it succeeds, there will be more greenhouses. Do the math, how much more money have you made in a year? Is it a bargain?"
Besides, the 40% of the profit went into his private treasury. But since he came to the throne, he has been lightly paid and poorly endowed, resting and recuperating. In the first two years, taxation has been unable to make ends meet. It was not until the last two years to vigorously revitalize industry and commerce that the pressure was slightly relieved. The mountains of gold and silver that he earned by going to sea in the early years have gradually shrunk due to subsidizing the national treasury. If he doesn't add more, what he will pass on to future generations will be an empty shell!
Yu Xiaocao had already figured it out in her heart. If you only grow vegetables in a glass greenhouse, the annual output of vegetables is only tens of thousands of catties, and if the price is good, it is only a few thousand taels of silver. If it is replaced by a plastic film greenhouse, more than two hundred acres of land will weigh several million catties. If converted into silver, it would be tens of thousands of taels or more. Even if 40% was distributed to the emperor, there would be at least 30,000 to 40,000 taels of income for a winter. If there is profit but not profit, silly! Yu Xiaocao decisively agreed to the emperor's request.
Before leaving, Zhu Junfan asked her to go to the imperial dining room, hung the multicolored stones in a bucket and put them into the well in the courtyard of the imperial dining room. The little girl walked around the imperial dining room last time, and the taste of the imperial dining room has greatly improved in the following period of time. At first, I thought it was the reason why the royal chefs improved their culinary skills through the guidance of the little girl. Unexpectedly, after a period of time, the taste of the meals from the imperial dining room returned to the previous state.
Now he has finally figured out the way, and it turned out that it has nothing to do with the craftsmanship of the imperial chefs, but the quality of the well water. Just like making tea just now, the little girl must have quietly soaked this stone in the well water last time, so that the food tasted very good.
Now that she came to the imperial dining room, Yu Xiaocao showed her skills again and made two special snacks. One is honey cake and the other is crispy egg tart, both of which are favorites of children. When I met the little prince in the imperial garden, I promised him a chance to cook delicious food for him, and now I finally fulfilled it!
When she was teaching the imperial cooks how to make dim sum, the eunuchs who were close to the emperor quietly put colorful stones into the well. When she left, he took it back. In fact, it doesn't matter even if the multicolored stone is forgotten, the small butian stone will automatically take back its body.
When entering the palace this time, Yu Xiaocao came back after having lunch in the palace. Those imperial chefs who can enter the imperial dining room naturally have their special dishes. Coupled with the spiritual power in the well water, the taste has been improved to a higher level. Yu Xiaocao was full of greasy food in the palace and was satisfied.
Even the masters in the palace were quite satisfied and rewarded them with many good things. It is said that the little prince and the little princess are very satisfied with today's desserts, especially the egg tarts, they can't get enough of them. They also sent a little eunuch over to explain by name that they should make this kind of dessert.
The little prince even made a bet with the empress that today's dim sum must be made by Yu Xiaocao. After inquiring, he triumphantly accepted his mother's bet, and begged his mother to often announce Yu Xiaocao into the palace in the future. means obviously...
