Jia She, Chief Assistant of the Red Chamber

Guangdong Thirteen

Niu Jizong returned to the voyage and rested for a few days. After reading the relevant information, he went to the farm with great joy and eagerness to ask how the grain seeds sent back were cultivated.Now that his commercial business has stabilized, the emperor gave him the title of Marquis of Hain, just to break into the upper-class western aristocratic groups, and to be able to meet and deal with the emperors of various countries.

The purpose is friendly communication.

On this return voyage, he brought back many foreign craftsmen.

For this, I have to thank his mother.Like the idea he contributed to Shanghuang Amusement Park and Jiazhen Scenic Area earlier, it was also mentioned by his mother when talking about the holy place of love in their era.In addition to the tourist amusement park, there is also a movie theater.Movie theaters are equipped with Coke popcorn and French fries as standard.

When I think about it, I only blame myself for being young. If you ask me out of curiosity, you will know that the rice of popcorn is the legendary jade wheat for beauty, so you won’t miss it.

Fortunately, it's still too late.

He still remembers the fries.

French fries are to be eaten with ketchup.

So he searched for food through names, homonyms, and thinking about the shape according to the name, etc., and he really found a few similarities. Finally, after verification, he found that the famous love fruit wolf peach in Yingjili was similar to the legendary tomato.Although it looks red and bright, everyone subconsciously thinks it is poisonous and poisonous like poisonous mushrooms (generally brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous), but so what?

The Ministry of Punishment designated meals for the death row prisoners.

Tomatoes are confirmed to be non-toxic. Not only can they be used to make tomato sauce, but they can also be steamed, boiled, fried, deep-fried, fried, and stir-fried... But there are quite a lot of ways to do it, but these are at most just condiments, and they can't fill you up.

But as a businessman, it is still possible to use this to slaughter fat sheep.Of course, this is a one-time transaction.

Niu inherited the abacus and beat it again and again. After calculating the profit he could get without the cost, he became concerned about the other two foods—potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Both of these "potatoes" he bought from a lord in West France.The lord is also a sea adventurer and has been to South America.He is only envious.Now their merchant ships do not have the energy to sail to America.Now the distribution station along the way in Europe, his business is considered to be well-run, guaranteeing the daily necessities needed by the fleet.But even so, the sea is ruthless, and the journey is full of crises.He can't take people to continue southward until he has enough preparations to deal with it.

"Master Niu, a batch of these two kinds of sweet potatoes have been successfully planted before, and they can be the same as Yumai!" The steward replied excitedly, "This can also be made into vermicelli and serve as a staple food."

"Really?"

"That's natural." Cao Jingxiu received the news and came out to welcome him. Hearing this, he responded, "Congratulations, Mr. Niu."

"Jingxiu?" Niu Jizong was a little surprised, looking at Cao Jingxiu, who seemed to be a little fatter than he remembered, and said, "Why are you here?"

"Nonsense, you want to leave the prisoners of my criminal department, and the criminal department will not send anyone to follow. Do you think we are running a charity hall?" Cao Jingxiu's eyes were fascinated, and he showed a smirk: "We will always get the test fee."

"It's all for the imperial court." Niu Jizong said seriously: "When did your Ministry of Punishment become so philistine?"

"I can't help it. It's not easy for a small official to support his family." Cao Jingxiu glanced left and right, saw that Niu Jizong asked the steward to step down, moved closer, and said in a low voice, "Da Niu, I have something to tell you, don't you So excited."

"What? Cao Ergou, when did you become so coy?"

"Bah!" Cao Jingxiu said angrily, "I'm just worrying about my own business and meddling in other people's business. You can cry when you return to Beijing."

"No major event happened in the capital, right?" Niu Jizong was puzzled.After he came back, he also read the information in detail.

"Enhou he he he he he..." Cao Jingxiu didn't know how to describe it for a while.He and Jia She get together occasionally, but Jia She's brimming with stupidity, he can't stop it.

Seeing Cao Jingxiu's expression, Niu Jizong's face darkened, and he looked at the person: "You treat him as a courtier, and feel that he is not worthy to be your friend?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, am I worried that you will fight with the emperor?" Cao Jingxiu blushed with anger and lost his voice.

Seeing that Niu Jizong is also a wise king today, and Niu Jizong is also fighting for the country and the people, if the two fight to earn Jia's amnesty, it is really unthinkable.

"No, you know?" Cao Jingxiu came back to his senses, his eyes stared like lanterns: "Then you you you you..."

"What me?" Niu Jizong was puzzled: "Just because of Enhou's temperament, he can't hold back a little chatter, just keep your mind clear and don't yell outside."

"Where did I yell, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept it, so I ran all the way from the capital ahead of time..." Cao Jingxiu didn't believe in evil, and stared at Niu Jizong vigorously, looking again and again, with his piercing eyes, he didn't notice that the other party was covering up again After that, there was a long silence.In the end, I couldn't hold back my words and asked why.

They all think that Niu Jizong is secretly in love with Jia She!

Niu Jizong was in a trance, and after a long while he came back to his senses: "I really have this heart, who else will I have?"

Cao Jingxiu: "Then you treat him so well."

The corners of Niu Jizong's mouth twitched when he heard the words: "I treat him well, so what? Don't be so dirty in your thinking. Apart from feelings, there is no other friendship. And, if you think about being brothers with Enhou Dangqi, you have to be with him all the time. Take care of him all the time, but as brothers with him, you can pamper and play with him all the time, and if something happens, we don't have to worry about it."

Cao Jingxiu felt a sentence jump out of his mind inexplicably: "Water thrown by a married daughter?"

Niu Jizong: "..."

After clearing up their misunderstanding about something, the two sat down to eat a big meal mainly of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"The French fries you ordered!" Cao Jingxiu stuck a piece of boat-shaped potato chips into Cao Jingxiu's toothpick, and handed it to Cao Jingxiu: "One by one is too ruining the chef's craftsmanship. Look at this plate, the birds and beasts are still lifelike after frying. I tried it and gained five or six catties without knowing it in a month. Sweet potatoes can’t be fried, but soup is also good for dessert.”

Niu Jizong took the toothpick, opened his mouth to try the French fries, they were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and tasted okay.

"This style is acceptable, but it's not enough to be a dish."

"It's a snack." Cao Jingxiu didn't like it yet, so he ate it with a toothpick and said something else.The two made a promise of brotherhood, and then lowered their voices: "Big... Big cow, to be honest, brother, you have such a big stall now, and you have these two types of new grains that can be counted. Others, you have to think about the word "Great Master" by yourself, for the court, the emperor is not in the mood now, but there are quite a lot of old antiques."

"Thank you very much." Niu Jizong took a sip from his wine glass: "It's not that I don't want to share the meat that can be distributed by sea merchants. The most important thing is that the ship has not been built yet. And those people only see my face , but I haven’t seen the waves. These years, I have also sent people to find suitable seedlings to train as sailors. When these things are done, the emperor will come forward. As for the grain seeds, I have no plan to be promoted by myself.”

"Will it be the same as Enhou Xianyumai again?"

"How can I. Make up a myth and legend, and put the credit on the prince and his mother, so as to save the courtiers from thinking about getting a queen for the emperor." Niu Jizong said: "The empress Yuan worked so hard, thinking of the people all over the world. The courtier gave her husband a concubine, which makes her feel cold." Neither Jia Amnesty nor Cui Yu thought about challenging the deep-rooted concepts of the world all at once.So I can only put pressure on the prince.

Cao Jingxiu: "..."

Niu Jizong chatted with Cao Jingxiu about the treatment of death row prisoners, and reminded people to pay attention to diet, so he rectified, packed up and went to Beijing.

He basically went to Beijing every three or four years to report in detail the information collected from various countries.

The location of the report is still in Huangzhuang.

It's just that the number of people has changed from Huang Daguan to three people - Huang Daguan, Huang Erjie, Huang Xiaocui.

Second Sister Huang looked at the name on the household registration album, her face turned green again.Why do you say again?Of course it's because the previous name was more cheap and cute.

Huang Xiaocui looked at his father.This is a typical case where the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!Because of this, the household registration department is difficult to manage, resulting in hidden households, black households, tax evasion, corruption, corruption, and real and fake household registration registers...

Huang Daguan was still looking through the account books, a little excited, fiddled with the calculations and calculated again and again.Finally filled the lack of scenic spots.

"Second, you are worth marrying, Xiao Cui, the wife you marry is also rich." Huang Daguan also praised his "one son and one daughter" by the way.

The Jia family's uncles and nephews can make money every year without eating bonuses, especially Jia Zhen.This kid didn't know how to buy bank notes back then, but he had the key to the treasury. Even if Niu Jizong sent it back, Jia Daihua was a good person and cared about his grandson, so he directly invested in the shares.

One son and one daughter complimented: "It depends on your birth."

Niu Jizong: "..."

After Niu Jizong got used to the somewhat abrupt royal style of painting, he talked about the most important things: the introduction of artisan skills and other talents, and the discovery of new grains such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as new fruits and vegetables. "Fairy Story" stalk.

Huang Daguan didn't care about this, and said that the right depends on Huang Xiaocui's attitude.

Huang Xiaocui originally thought it was good to pay attention, but he inadvertently thought of Jia She's attitude in promoting Yumai in the past—since he could help people sooner, why procrastinate?There is no shortage of "life-saving food" to accumulate merit.

"I can fight a protracted battle with the courtiers about the harem. Yan'er will get married this autumn, and if it drags on, maybe my big fat grandson can be picked up, and no one will pay too much attention to me by then. "Cui Yu said in a deep voice: "Besides, this year, Shandong and Henan have faint signs of severe drought. If these two kinds of potatoes can be planted, and they are not restricted by soil moisture than jade and wheat, then we should implement them as soon as possible."

"However, if it is done properly, it can be used one or two times, mainly to reassure the people."

Upon hearing this, other people also had no opinion, and offered their suggestions on how to vigorously promote it.

This potato is no better than corn and wheat. There are two kinds of potatoes a year. Its planting season is between winter and spring, and it can be harvested in early summer.There are two kinds of sweet potatoes, sweet potato seeds in spring and sweet potato seeds in summer.Therefore, the planting of summer sweet potatoes is promoted first to catch up with the planting season.

At the same time, Jia Amnesty didn't know the news about the new crops. He just looked at the little golden crow, which was getting hotter day by day. While wiping his handkerchief, he checked the stock of grain in the household department, and searched for information to pay attention to Shandong and other places. The number of county government granaries and the number of local household registrations reported in the newspaper.

He also understands now that he doesn't count as white rice, but only as porridge.

I also threw away half of the granary, which served as old rice, moldy rice and layers of oil and water, etc., but more than half of the grain was left, and the common people drank porridge and steamed buns, which was enough to get through this test.

But Jia Amnesty realized that he was still a little too naive.
