The snowstorm in the northern calendar ended at the end of spring. After the summer, Jin Zishuai ordered the army to help the herdsmen rebuild their homes, and purchased a large number of livestock cubs from Dongwu and the southern part of the northern calendar in his own name, and distributed them to the hardest-hit areas in the north. victims. Unlike the reconstruction of cities in the south that required a lot of manpower and materials, the reconstruction of the Northern Li grassland after the disaster was relatively simple. As soon as the climate warms up, pastures will grow naturally, and the herdsmen will live in the pastures. As long as they are provided to the young animals, the order on the grassland will gradually be established.
What needs manpower to build is nothing more than a city. They are all very rough architectural styles, and only need stones to build them. This kind of building is called Stone City, and it is a major feature of Beili Grassland.
Therefore, although Beili is the hardest-hit area, it is not surprising that it recovered faster than other places.
Taking this opportunity, Long Feiye greatly rewarded Jin Zi, and at the same time urged the post-war reconstruction work in the western and central regions.
Han Yunxi had expected the situation in Beili a long time ago. What she was most curious about was where did Jin Jin get so much money to buy livestock cubs! According to her understanding, Jin Jin not only bought a large number of young animals, but also bought a lot of adult animals, sending a pair to every herdsman in the hardest-hit areas.
The paired adult animals are the most expensive, because the herdsmen only need to raise them for a month or two before the animals begin to reproduce and give birth to young.
"Long Feiye, Jin Zi donated a large sum of money to the priest last time, where did he get so much money?" Han Yunxi asked curiously. Even the gold salary is not enough to support himself.
Long Feiye checked it out a long time ago, "He used Mu Linger's gold card. The Kanggan Bank has records, and with the last donation, he should have spent more than 100 million taels."
Only then did Han Yunxi remember this incident. She knew about Mu Linger's repayment of the gold money, and she didn't know that the repayment was 100 million taels. From this point of view, Jin Zi has been a good person for a few times, and there is still a lot left.
"He is generous." Han Yunxi laughed.
As long as Jin Zi's money has a background, Long Feiye will not interfere too much. Long Feiye is afraid that Jin Zi will collude with the gang of slave traders in Dongwu Kingdom. Therefore, Long Feiye not only rewarded him with silver, but also increased his salary this time.
The reconstruction after the Beili disaster went smoothly, and the tax reform in the south of the Yangtze River went smoothly. Long Feiye has not been as busy as before.
He went down early today, and Rui'er was still sleeping on the bed.
Ever since Rui'er was not afraid of him, the family of three would repeat that "crowded" pattern when sleeping, and little Rui'er always slept outside. However, when he wakes up, he always finds that he has fallen asleep to the innermost part again. As for what happened in the middle, only his parents know.
Long Feiye kissed Rui'er lightly on the forehead, and then pressed a kiss on Han Yunxi's lips. Since he was able to kiss Rui'er, he stopped kissing Han Yunxi's forehead, and only kissed her mouth.
When Ruier wakes up, he will leave with a kiss. If Ruier is not there, or falls asleep, he will not let Han Yunxi go so easily.
You know, since Rui'er cuddled him, Rui'er had to cling to him to sleep every night, without exception.
In the past, he would still go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to rub Gu Beiyue's bed, and he would still be willing to sleep by himself, with Mother Zhao guarding him. However, after returning from Tianxiang Tea House, this situation has never happened once. This meant that Long Feiye had absolutely no chance to work hard for his daughter in the bedroom.
It's been a few months, Long Feiye has never realized that not being hugged is not Ruier's worst part, and that sticking to him every night is always Ruier's worst part.
Seeing that Rui'er was still asleep, Long Feiye didn't leave as soon as the kiss fell. He pried open her lips very domineeringly. He gave her an incomparably lingering and deep kiss early in the morning. The kisses were so out of control that he was never willing to let go.
Han Yunxi looked at him, he glanced at Rui'er, smiled unconsciously, and kissed him again, and bullied Han Yunxi down.
Han Yunxi is in a hurry, what time is this, Rui'er will wake up anytime!
Han Yunxi pushed Long Feiye hard, and Long Feiye became very playful, but he refused to let him go. He bullied her again and again, and kept paying attention to Xiao Rui'er, which made Han Yunxi want to kick her so annoyed.
Suddenly, Xiao Rui'er turned over.
Han Yunxi was in a hurry, who knew that Long Feiye was even more anxious than she was, almost at the same time as Xiao Ruier turned over, he let go of Han Yunxi and stood up, and tidied up his clothes.
In fact, Xiao Rui'er just turned over and didn't wake up.
Seeing Long Feiye's nervous look, Han Yunxi was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.
It turned out that Long Feiye was more afraid of Xiao Rui'er waking up suddenly than she was!
She had never seen Long Feiye so nervous and embarrassed in her life! Han Yunxi couldn't stop laughing. Little Rui'er was woken up, got up from the bed and sat down, her immature face was full of sleepiness and ignorance.
He looked at his mother and then at his father, feeling very confused. What happened
Long Feiye's expression at this moment is indescribable. In short, he stared at Han Yunxi coldly, but Han Yunxi was not afraid. His eyes were gloomy, and the harder she laughed.
Really, my stomach hurts from laughing.
The confused baby Rui crawled over, bypassing the crazy laughing mother, and reached out to his father, "Father, hug, hug!"
Long Feiye's expression immediately warmed up, he hugged Rui'er up and let Rui'er sit on his shoulder.
"Father, what is Queen Mother laughing at?" Ruier asked curiously.
After one year old, Rui'er has developed very fast in all aspects. She has grown rapidly in size, and her language skills have also developed extremely well. She can speak a few common words coherently. I can basically understand the meaning of every word the adults say.
"Joke father." Long Feiye was honest.
"Why?" Rui'er asked curiously. During this time, Rui'er has become a curious baby. Once he caught a question, he would ask it endlessly.
"Because, father is funny." Long Feiye could always handle it.
"Why is it so funny?" Ruier asked again.
"Because your mother thinks it's funny." Long Feiye replied.
"Why do you think it's funny?" Xiao Rui'er looked serious.
"Because the father is going to approve the memorial, is Rui'er going?" Long Feiye asked back.
"Why do you want to approve the memorial?" Rui'er asked again.
Yes, Long Feiye had already started to answer indiscriminately, he said, "Because the ministers are waiting."
"Why wait?" Rui'er continued to ask, not knowing that his father was perfunctory.
"Because they like to wait."
As Long Feiye answered, he carried Rui'er away, and before going out, he still gave Han Yunxi a look.
Han Yunxi didn't smile at first, but after being stared at by him, she couldn't help laughing again.
The father and son had gone away, and Han Yunxi got up, smiling so hard that her face froze. She thought for a long time, and only then did she think of a word to describe Long Feiye's embarrassment just now, that is the fear of "being caught and raped in bed"!
Zhao Mama, who had been guarding outside all the time, saw that the young master had left with the emperor, so she immediately sent over the breakfast specially prepared for the young master. With Mammy Zhao serving Xiao Rui'er's three meals, Han Yunxi basically didn't worry about it.
And Rui'er and Long Feiye went to the imperial study room, and Han Yunxi could spend most of the day at ease.
Every time Rui'er came to the imperial study, she would sit on Long Feiye's incomparably spacious ebony table, flip through the memorials, and ask Long Feiye to teach him to read.
Long Feiye was busy and asked the eunuch beside him to teach him, but Xiao Ruier refused. Long Feiye can only find Gu Beiyue every time, and only Gu Beiyue can fix Rui'er.
Sometimes, Rui'er would find some confidential notebooks, only Gu Beiyue could read them, but the eunuchs would not dare to read them.
Han Yunxi tidied up, ate some breakfast at will, and went to the fire room.
It took her two full months to finally learn how to roll noodles under the personal guidance of the chef. It took another month, and I finally got the noodles that can be rolled out with good strength.
In the past few days, she has been researching the recipe of broth.
If it was a bowl of egg noodles that could be eaten at will, she would have been able to make it long ago. However, she was going to sit on the gnocchi. Therefore, the first step in rolling out strong noodles is the second step in making soup.
She was in a very good mood today, so she laughed and said, "Good morning, everyone!"
When all the cooks heard the voice, they all knelt down and saluted, their faces turning paler than the other.
The chef sighed in his heart, "Here we go again!"
Cook A complained in his heart, "It's going to be pulled again!"
Cook B thought to himself, "This time we must grab the latrine."
…
In short, the dozen or so cooks were respectful on the surface, but they were all moaning in their hearts. They would rather eat the noodles made by the emperor himself than drink the broth cooked by the empress himself!
"Let's all stand still, and the latter will be on the sidelines. I am in a good mood today, so I invite you to drink soup!" Han Yunxi said with a smile.
"Thank you Empress Empress for the reward!"
Everyone shouted in unison, and after flattening their bodies, they all retreated to the side to stand against the wall, and their expressions were also very consistent... Sad!
The empress had already written a recipe yesterday, asking people to prepare all the ingredients and cut and wash them. Everyone's job this morning is to prepare those ingredients and place them on the table.
Therefore, everyone knows how the empress will cook the broth today.
Han Yunxi raised the gauze cover on the table, only to see that all the ingredients she wanted were ready, stacked in order. These ingredients are old hen chicken, chicken bones, chicken offal, pigeons, pork bones, lean pork meat, lobster meat, rock sugar, white peppercorns, longan meat, ginger, and wolfberry.
Although there are many ingredients in these ingredients, they can be summed up in four, one is chicken, the other is lobster, the third is pork, and the fourth is ingredients.
These cooks have been with Zhao Mama for many years, so of course they know how the emperor's old hen stewed lobster tasted. Therefore, the formula of Empress Dowager made them particularly terrified.
Han Yunxi quickly boiled the water and put the ingredients into the pot.
She knows the taste of old hen stewed lobster better than anyone else, and of course she has a deep memory, but she is very confident in her recipe today.
The old hen stewed lobster that Long Feiye asked Mammy Zhao to cook was purely stewing the meat. This time, she used the umami flavor of the lobster to cook the soup, and the other ingredients she added could mask the fishy smell. The umami taste of lean meat and the umami taste of lean meat will not conflict, but will complement each other. She tried several times at first, and adjusted the formula.
The most important thing is that as long as the soup is boiled successfully, she can once and for all. In modern times, this soup is thick soup treasure, the bottom of the hot pot, it can be used to cook anything to make it rich and fragrant!
Will Han Yunxi succeed this time
