It is not a ruthless cloud pressing the realm, and the wind and dust cover the shadows. The puppets asked about things in the car, white as snow and crystal clear.
The introduction of yellow leeks has a tendency to faintly overwhelm the garlic sprouts.
In the palace, Li Longji ate three fresh dumplings made with yellow leeks, and drank a bowl of garlic sprout soup in a nondescript manner. He seemed to say to all the eunuchs in the palace: "How? How? What did I say? But I guessed it? Luo Bin, come on."
Luo Bin was at a loss, not knowing what his Majesty was asking. Seeing the emperor came over, he quickly said: "Your Majesty is really a fortune. The meaning of the previous few days' words is not expected to be fulfilled today. Your majesty's majesty makes people sigh, why not, How inferior."
Hearing Luo Bin's praise, Li Longji happily ate another dumpling and asked Luo Bin again: "Do you know how I guess the specific matter?"
Luo Bin is stunned now, specific? Who knows what it is
While he was worried, Gao Lishi walked in from the outside holding a tray in his hand, and relieved Luo Bin: "Your Majesty said a few days ago, the minister is the most clear. Dao Zhang Xiaobao still has a back hand. The royal family has money to make money, and your Majesty admires the depth of his calculations."
"Hey, let's make a small plan, let's make a small plan. Let Zhang Xiaobao be as cunning as a fox, and he won't want to fool me. Without the garlic seedlings first, how can the yellow leeks sell so hot?"
Li Longji looked scheming and deliberate, slightly raised his chin, and acted arrogantly.
"Your Majesty, the sweet garlic has been marinated. You can try it. If you want to eat yellow chives in the future, you can let Sinong Temple grow them specially. The method is simple, shading it from the light and keeping it in the shade for a long time, the leaves will be yellow."
Gao Lix replaced Li Longji's chin, put the tray on the table, and introduced the method of planting leeks.
Li Longjilidun, he didn’t expect yellow chives to grow so simple. Then he looked at the garlic on the plate, picked one and put it in his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, good, good, this garlic tastes great. Good, it can be served with meals, it is refreshing and appetizing. From now on, my Datang will be more delicious."
"What your Majesty said is extremely true. However, in the future, my farming land will have countless more garlic seedlings. The minister fears that the garlic will be abundant and the garlic farmers will lose money, so we have to carefully consider what they are."
Gao Lishi reminded him that he looked at Li Longji's peeled garlic skin, which was shiny and shiny, and said: "Your Majesty does not know that the skin of sweet garlic can still be eaten. Compared with garlic cloves, it is crisp and adds a little more tenacity. Choose green garlic to pickle it. Its skin is tough but not firewood, with a moderate texture, torn into threads, or uninterrupted."
Li Longji heard Gao Lishi say that he couldn't help picking up another one. This time he ate with the skins and nodded and said, "It's really good. We will discuss this matter tomorrow morning."
Gao Lishi jotted down the words and said to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, when the minister just went to fetch garlic, he got a telegram to talk about Silla."
"What's the matter?"
"That is part of Xiaobao's series. Some time ago, garlic was transferred from Xinluo to Tangtang. It was exchanged with sweet garlic formula. Therefore, Xinluo collects garlic in China and uses it to make sweet garlic. However, in the sweet garlic formula There is a lot of sugar, but there is no sugar in Shilla, so I want to buy it from Wotang."
Gao Lix spoke out the content of the telegram without delay.
"Oh? There are such things?" If Li Longji before, he might not have much reaction. Now he is very interested in what Zhang Xiaobao is doing and feels that this is absolutely extraordinary.
"Yes, there are people who want to ship sugar from other places to Dengzhou and sell it to Silla, but..."
"But Xiaobao stopped it, isn't it?" Li Longji asked without waiting for Gao Lishi to finish.
"Your Majesty Shengming, Xiaobao asked people to place an order for sugar in Dengzhou, saying that when a large amount of new garlic comes down, they will concentrate on making sweet garlic. Therefore, merchants who want to sell sugar to Silla immediately resell the King’s family. No one dared to pester, the sugar-carrying vehicles gathered over there swept away at a glance, out of sight."
Gao Lishi replied with honor.
Li Longji put down his chopsticks and said, "Where is there so much sugar? It is estimated that the businessman brought an empty car and wanted to change things from Shilla. If Xiaobao shot it, naturally no one dared to object. At the time of Wind Logistics, it seemed like yesterday. Do you know how Little Treasure acted like this?"
"The minister doesn't know, I think it must have a deep meaning."
"I also use you to say, when did Xiaobao say he will come back? Let him as soon as possible. I will punish him. I will convict him at the Furong Garden. You are responsible. By the way, I will bring the cooking utensils from the imperial kitchen. Potato chips, I have waited and waited, guilty, and dare to delay time."
Li Longji couldn't think of Zhang Xiaobao's follow-up actions, but he remembered the dishes Zhang Xiaobao had promised to cook. Until now, he still doesn't know what the potatoes look like.
"Yes, the minister has recorded it. In time, Xiaobao may have already left, and the leaders of the Turkic tribes who came with Xiaobao. Your Majesty will need to personally appoint officials at that time in order to commend Tang's kindness."
Gao Lishi agreed, and at the same time he looked forward to the potatoes and peppers.
…
"When we arrive in the capital, I guess we can settle the marriage and then live together?" Zhang Xiaobao shook the oar himself on the small river connecting Luoshui River to the capital. Wang Juan sat opposite Zhang Xiaobao. The two of them walked slowly and chatted at the same time.
The two of them were on the boat, and the others were on other boats. Zhang Xiaobao remembered what he said in the phone before leaving home, and asked Wang Juan.
"I've been living together since I was a child. Is it because I got engaged and separated deliberately? I'm not that hypocritical. Who would dare to speak ill of the back and ruin the reputation of the two of us?" Wang Juan replied directly without thinking.
"No, it doesn't matter at all. I mean, look, the two of us are no longer young, and we are now advocating late marriage. The main reason is late childbirth. After all, giving birth to a baby has an impact on a woman's body. It's about ten years old.
But...that...actually...if that...just don't...don't reproduce human life. At our age, it's... right? "
This passage was intermittently said by Zhang Xiaobao, and at the end he didn't directly say what he was going to do. Not only did he talk bluntly, his face turned red, and his hands were still shaking the oars, but if you look closely, you can find that the oars actually swayed when they were attached to the surface of the water. The ripples continue in circles, and can no longer show the level of a single oar pushing against the shore.
Wang Juan looked at the sky sideways and sniffed. Seeing that the silence was too long, Fang asked, "Just say what you want to do. You still need to be polite between the two of us?"
"Huh? To put it straight? Okay, let me just say it, now it's warm, and after booking a kiss, when we go to bed at night, can we... can... Um, count the stars together?"
The courageous Zhang Xiaobao finally said the words. After speaking, his whole body collapsed, and he was there.
Wang Juan stopped looking at the sky, and turned back to see Zhang Xiaobao, and said earnestly: "Xiaobao, your EQ is a little bit worse, so don't count the stars. You should count the moon. Good deed."
After Zhang Xiaobao had counted the moon for a period of time, the team entered the capital, and Mo Jilian and his party said goodbye to Zhang Xiaobao, first reported, and learned the etiquette of meeting the saint. There should be no rudeness.
Zhang Xiaobao mumbled "a moon in the sky, a moon in the water, the moon in the sky in the water, the moon in the water in the sky", and Wang Juan, who always smiled along the way, lived in the Zhuangyuan Building and built it in the capital. The home is gone.
What arrived earlier than Zhang Xiaobao and his entourage was a few new vegetables produced in the Jian'an greenhouse, not many, and I planned to keep seeds for use. Some of the vegetables I brought were for Li Longji and some for my own home.
When Li Longji, who was thinking about fried potatoes with peppers, heard that the eunuch reporter had come, he didn't take Mo Jilian in his heart. The first person to ask was where Zhang Xiaobao was? Why didn't you enter the palace
"His Majesty, Xiao... Zhang Jedu and Wang's deputy Jedu have returned to the Zhuangyuan Building. Even the Zhang Wang family in the capital did not go to the house. The young one heard someone report that Zhang Jedu said on the way that there is a moon in the sky. , There is a moon in the water, it is estimated that it is ill, wind chill?"
The eunuch on duty returned Zhang Xiaobao to find a reason for taking money from someone, so he naturally had to maintain it.
Li Longji believes that it is strange, "The cold has not been cured until now? He muttered all the way? Then I immediately decreed to seal the Deyi Medical College. He took his younger brothers and sisters, would he not bring a good doctor
Oh, the sky, the moon, um, I understand, what's in the moon? Chang'e, Xiaobao is getting older, so it is time to book your marriage and arrange someone... You should go there in person. Tell Xiaobao that tomorrow morning, after I have suppressed everything, I will discuss with the ministers first. I am hungry for the marriage of Bohai Jiedu's principal and deputy envoy. "
Li Longji was finally clever. Although the clues of the guess were wrong, the result was the same.
As for whether it is appropriate to put the matter of a courtier's marriage on top of the great dynasty that five-rank officials can participate in, he didn't think much about it.
The eunuch on duty was smarter and not stupid. He didn't arrange an imperial meal for Li Longji, but he promised to quit respectfully and rushed to the champion building as quickly as possible.
When he arrived there, he saw Zhang Xiaobao who was confused about counting the moon. Zhang Xiaobao didn't know how to count the moon. He was still clear in other things. He was about to write, his eyes fixed on the paper in front of him. The other hand tapped his face and murmured.
"A moon in the sky, a moon in the water... Looking at the moon, thinking about hometown, one in the water and one in the sky."
Repeated several times in a row, and said: "I asked you to count the moons for me, and want to buy sugar in my Datang? I'll talk about it when I can count the stars."
The duty eunuch was stunned, what happened to this little treasure? Sing and talk.
Wang Juan, who had been by his side all the time, gave a "pouch" laugh, pinched the penholder and took it out of Zhang Xiaobao's mouth, flew Zhang Xiaobao and said: "Oh, Xiaobao, I have to admit that your EQ is a little bit worse, but your IQ There is absolutely no problem.
Let you count the moon for a few days, you can also use it to count others, OK, after a while, I will let you count the number of stars, um, the Holy Supreme sent someone to see you, don’t you welcome it? "
"How many are there?" Zhang Xiaobao glanced at the eunuch and asked as he stood by his side.
"A lot, a lot." Wang Juan said, turning his face.
"Of course I know a lot, but..."
"Oh, Master Zhang, if you sit down, the younger one is just coming over to take a look. I heard people say that Young Master Zhang and Xiao Niang Wang came back, and the younger one could not grow wings and fly to have a look, but it was on duty. Only sent the small ones."
How could the duty eunuch dare to let Zhang Xiaobao say welcome, if he hadn't heard the conversation between the two people more confused, he couldn't let Zhang Xiaobao get up.
"What's the matter? I'll leave after eating here for a while, come here, ask the back kitchen to make a prefecture-level one-star set meal, minus one dish, and add a tomato scrambled egg brought back from overseas."
Zhang Xiaobao didn't talk politely with the incoming people, and gave orders to the outside world.
When the duty eunuch heard the word "overseas", his smile was more grateful. He has never eaten it yet. He is not afraid that Zhang Xiaobao will leave him for dinner. He has said that he is on duty and thinks he will take it away in a food box. , Hurriedly said: "Thank you Master Zhang, uh... I am hungry."
"En? Oh... Go back and say to your majesty that the minister immediately gave an order to transfer the refined rice of Bohai Duhu Mansion to the palace with a thousand stones." Zhang Xiaobao was taken aback and understood that the person who came was to follow Li Longji's words, because the northeast rice was mature. It's long, so it tastes better, so I followed the people's words.
The duty eunuch blinked, looked at Zhang Xiaobao, and said, "Master Zhang, it's not about rice adjustment, but... The little one suddenly remembered something. Your Majesty said it is'first', tomorrow, and other matters will be postponed, first discuss the Bohai chief and deputy. Regarding the marriage of Jiedu, Master Zhang, according to your majesty, he wanted to give court rituals to Bohai’s chief and deputy Jiedu."
"Ah? Is there such a thing? The cuckoo, don't look at the wall, follow me, the sage is hungry, the minister should be the sage to cook personally to show the loyalty of the minister, and the sage who can take good care of the Bohai Jiedushi. Being a courtier, I am proud of it."
Zhang Xiaobao's book case didn't clear up, he pulled Wang Juan, whose face suddenly turned ruddy, and walked out hurriedly. He approached the door and said to the eunuch on duty: "Let's go together, don't wait for the food, and talk about it later."
"Okay, okay, Zhang Gongzi, wait for the younger one, Zhang Gongzi..."
…
"Okay, really good, these two things are fried together, the taste is fresh, spicy and refreshing, Xiaobei, Xiaoyuan, and you, try them all."
In the Furong Garden, Li Longji was eating happily. The dishes were warm. They were just fried, and there was no need for others to test the poison. Seeing Beckham, who had come with Zhang Xiaobao, lowered his head and tried hard to deal with the venison on the plate in front of him, he invited him. .
There is no difference between Beckham’s visit to the palace and home. He didn’t see the emperor’s timidity. He heard the words, raised his head slightly, and whispered, “It’s not delicious. I like to eat mashed potatoes. My brother made his own sauce with finely chopped green onions. Pour it up and it will fragrant."
"Oh, can it be made into other dishes?" Li Longji knew the same thing. He smiled when he saw the glutinous juice on Xiaobei's mouth. , Can you find it?"
As soon as he said that, Beckham was happy and he was more powerful. He stretched out his tongue and licked the juice from the corners of his mouth. He replied, "Not yet, when I get the news, I'm in Sanshui County. Who should I check? I saw the emperor down the river. Before, the officials along the way were very obedient, no one spent the county's money to greet me, so I endured it and waited for another place to speak."
"Then I can wait for Xiaobei to kill the Quartet." Li Longji didn't know why, as long as he saw Xiaobei, he felt very happy. Unfortunately, he couldn't find it in the palace, and he could only hope that Pan'er would perform better.
"Well, the minister will be your majesty to relieve your worries. If anyone dares not listen to the emperor's uncle, I will go and clean him up." Xiaobei said righteously.
Looking at Beckham’s serious look, Li Longji laughed and said, “Don’t say that the person Beckham found has a problem, it’s okay. Seeing Beckham’s cute appearance, he’s cruel and can give Convicted".
Looking at it, Li Longji was in a daze for a while, then he looked at Zhang Xiaobao, who was busy cooking, and Wang Juan who wiped his sweat from time to time, and sighed again. The years have passed so fast, and in a flash, both of them are old. .
Remember when you asked for a portrait of two people, isn't it just like Beckham? Like yesterday’s dream, it has changed. Many places in the palace have changed, the capital has changed, and the Tang Dynasty has also changed. No matter how you look at it, it seems that only the appearance has changed, and the calm eyes still don't show anger.
"Smack", when Li Longji was immersed in his memories, Zhang Xiaobao brought the last dish, a total of four meats and four vegetarians, four cold, four hot and eight dishes, a vegetarian stew soup, and the fried potato shreds were browned and browned. It looks like a work of art when people look at it.
The dishes are not many styles, large in quantity, and are served by those who see it. The happy Li Longji even let the maids and eunuchs serving in the side to taste it.
Li Longji and Zhang Xiaobao were not polite, and kept silent, just pointed to the chair casually and let them sit next to him.
After washing his hands, Zhang Xiaobao threw the towel for wiping his hands to an eunuch, sat idly next to Li Longji, leaned back, and said nothing.
"Xiaobao, among the things that you have people retrieved from faraway places, the yield of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn is really high?"
"High, especially potatoes, are easy to grow, but they can be used as a vegetable or as a meal, yes, they can also be used as a snack." Zhang Xiaobao said confidently. The snacks that followed were added when Xiaobei looked up.
"Oh, that is to say, even if I have suffered multiple disasters in Datang at the same time, and the output of rice and white flour has fallen sharply, I can still survive with crops that don't pick the land, isn't it?"
"Yes."
Seeing Zhang Xiaobao's boring look, Li Longji was not angry. If he was replaced by someone else, except Zhang Zhong, who would dare to have such an attitude, he pulled it down and chopped it off, smiled slightly, Li Longji raised his head and looked at the sky, and said to Zhang Xiaobao "Xiaobao, look at the round moon in the sky, look carefully, have you seen the jade rabbit?"
Zhang Xiaobao didn't look up at all, where is the moon at noon? Besides, even at night, there is only a waning moon left today.
"Li Longji must have done it deliberately." Zhang Xiaobao, whose face was almost green, muttered to himself, slandered again, turned his head to look at Wang Juan, and found that Wang Juan had become a person during the period when he came out of the champion building. He always liked to bow his head. The roots of the ears are still red.
Zhang Xiaobao Li Longji, who was wondering, said:
"I see, Yutu is making medicine."
"Seeing Yutu pounding medicine, Xiaobao, are you sick?" Li Longji came over, and when he saw Wang Juan, he could guess that they were a little bit ambiguous with the moon.
