Take the mall to Datang

The carriage stopped, Gao Ming got down and immediately asked someone to call the maid over.

Gao Ming slept all afternoon, and he was very energetic here. When Lizhi was taken away, he was still holding the checkers in his hand, and there was a cloth bag wrapped around his waist, which contained those yoyos.

After Gao Ming made a special order, he asked the maid who took care of Lizhi to carry a bag of pastries, and he also carried a bag in his hand and immediately ran towards the mansion. Yunfeng also carried a bag and hugged her with a jar.

"Mother, Gao Ming has brought Lizhi back from playing." Gao Ming heard her voice before seeing her.

I saw a young woman in the house, with good features, handsome appearance, and aristocratic temperament, sitting in the hall and reading a book when she heard a voice and looked up.

This person is none other than Princess Changsun, the wife of King Qin Li Shimin.

"It turned out to be my son Gao Ming. If Yunfeng hadn't followed, I'm afraid someone would have sent someone to look for you now. Don't come back so late after leaving the mansion." Princess Changsun said, her voice was clear and sweet, with a hint of sternness .

"Yes, my son knows, mother, please try this buttered bun. It is made of cheese and flour, and some melon seeds and raisins are added in it. The taste is very soft, and it tastes milky and sweet with raisins. Pair it with a bowl of special plum juice, it tastes delicious." As if Gao Ming offered a treasure immediately, the maidservant poured the plum juice inside into the bowl and brought over the jar Yunfeng was carrying.

Princess Changsun was quite moved when she saw her son running over excitedly just to bring her some food. She also felt pity for the eldest son in her heart, so she picked it up and ate a small bite as a way of showing her son's filial piety. But after taking a small bite, I couldn't help but eat some more.

"This butter bun has a delicate taste and a sweet and delicious taste. My son really cares about it. I don't know which shop it is from. If it is convenient, I will ask someone to send some to your father in a few days." Princess Changsun said softly .

Hearing this, Gao Ming felt a lot of pressure in his heart, because it was a gift from someone, not for sale, and he and Yuan Shan had only met twice, and even the other party didn't know his identity, so it was hard to say that it would be difficult for the other party to find out his identity. How will he react when he gets his identity, where will he go to get more butter buns...

Chapter 22

"This butter bun was given to a friend's house when I was a guest. They are not for sale. If mother likes it, I will ask for some in the past tomorrow." Gao Ming said after careful consideration.

"My son is filial, but it would be rude to come to the door to ask for some food at will, but you must never do this." Princess Changsun immediately taught her a lesson.

"Yes, Gao Ming understands, that mother is trying this bowl of plum juice." Gao Ming immediately handed Wan the bowl of plum juice.

"This plum juice has an extremely creamy taste. It tastes sour and sweet, with a hint of floral fragrance. The plum juice in the house is very different. Is this also a gift from others?" Princess Changsun asked.

"Yes, mother, hawthorn, sweet-scented osmanthus and sugar are added to this plum juice. This is the second time my child has drunk this kind of plum juice. Every time I drink it, I feel endless aftertaste. Moreover, this plum juice can promote stomach health. Open the spleen and promote digestion." Gao Ming said.

"No wonder I felt my appetite whetted after just one sip. The plum juice is very effective." The eldest grandson took another sip, liking the taste more and more in his heart.

"Is it possible to make this plum juice in the house?" Empress Changsun asked.

"Mother, although I know the ingredients, I haven't been able to produce such a taste after many times of making, but the plum juice in the house is much better than before after adding hawthorn and sweet-scented osmanthus." Gao Ming said.

Princess Changsun looked at the plum juice in the bowl, although the color was very dark, but the inside was crystal clear without a trace of turbidity. She thought that it must have been processed by extraordinary means, and the level of cooking in this way was even worse than that made by the imperial chef. Be exquisite.

"Gao Ming, is that friend you mentioned the one who sold you black chicken balls?" Princess Changsun asked more and more curiously.

"Yes." Gao Ming said.

Princess Changsun began to think at this moment, and at this moment, a pleasant voice came from outside.

"Mother, mother, Lizhi wants to play checkers with you." After saying that, Lizhi entered the room.

"Lizhi, what are you going to do?" Princess Changsun loved this daughter very much, and Lizhi had always been very obedient, knowing etiquette and rules, but it was the first time she saw Lizhi shouting and making noise like this.

"This is checkers, Lizhi wants to play with mother." Lizhi said happily.

Princess Changsun didn't react too slowly, and immediately said: "It seems that Lizhi is very happy to go out today, tell mother what it is."

"Mother, this is checkers. It is a board game that integrates intelligence, entertainment, and competition. There are many rules, mainly divided into two types: entertainment and competition. This is chess and card, and this is chess pieces..."

Just as Li Zhi took out the bag containing sixty yo-yos, Gao Ming thought it was terrible, this might arouse his mother's suspicion, it seems that this might be causing trouble for Yuan Shan.

"This is... Liuli? There are so many, where did these things come from." After watching it, the eldest grandson completely forgot what this game was called checkers, and asked directly and sternly.

To say that these glazed objects are very rare in the Tang Dynasty, and they are still a complete luxury. This bag of sixty glazed beads is not something that ordinary people can have. It is unreasonable to appear in Lizhi's hands. She didn't attract her attention anymore, others don't know, but his husband is the famous King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, and he is also involved in the affairs of the royal prince. If someone plots this, it is not a trivial matter.

Seeing Princess Changsun, she immediately became serious with a cold face, and Lizhi burst into tears. The four-year-old girl burst into tears immediately after being frightened, mainly because her mother snatched away the checkers pieces. .

Seeing his sister crying, Gao Ming was afraid at first, but for some reason, he said it out: "Mother, the thing is like this..."

Gao Ming knew how powerful his mother was, so he could only tell the truth. He even explained clearly the purchase of [-] colored glaze beads by Jubao Pavilion last time. .

Moreover, he was afraid that Princess Changsun might misunderstand something, so he specifically mentioned that Yuanshan is Qin Qiong's nephew and nephew. Anyway, as long as he knew it, he would explain everything, and he especially wanted to drop this. Checkers is a kind of board game. He asked Lizhi to excuse it, but he didn't know if it would work.

"Okay, it's late at night, you guys go back and rest, Lizhi will stay with mother tonight, and put the chessboard here first." After finishing speaking, Gao Ming was asked to leave.

Princess Changsun first coaxed Lizhi, and fell asleep after crying.

When I got up in the morning, I was dragged by Lizhi to play checkers all morning, which made Princess Changsun feel very novel. This weird chessboard has various ways of playing, and it really responds to the role of Kaizhi. Every time I take a move, I have to think about it, and It's better to think about it holistically, otherwise one mistake will be used instead. It can be said that it is a step by step. If some rules are added, it will be quite difficult. The victory or defeat is simply one step away.

It was precisely because of this that Empress Changsun was interested in playing with Lizhi all morning, but the more she got down, the more strenuous she felt, because she was prone to fatigue because of thinking too much. On the other hand, Li Zhi was different. She doesn't have so much thoughtfulness, and she doesn't hesitate to move the chess pieces. At the beginning, she couldn't beat Princess Changsun, but after that, she kept winning chess, and the little girl was very happy.

And under the observation of Princess Changsun, she found that Lizhi's personality seemed to have changed a lot in one day. She was a little dull before, but now she became cheerful and lively after playing this checkers.

On the other hand, Princess Changsun prefers the current Lizhi in the past, it really resembles her name Lizhi.

It was time to eat at noon, and Li Zhi was served by the maid to leave. At this time, Princess Changsun also received a letter from her personal maid.

"Yuan Shan, a native of Yuezhou, was born in a subsidiary branch of the Yuan family in Yuezhou. He had an only son. He married Dugu Ruolan, a branch of the Dugu family in Yuezhou. Liang, died of illness, his son inherited his father's business as a hereditary baron of Lantian County, he became a seller and arrived in Chang'an one and a half months ago. 100 taels of gold to buy land... Presented Qu Yuanli to the court, His Majesty rewarded him with 100 taels of gold... It is said that this person Studied under Du Niang, the school is unknown, quite involved in astrology, metaphysics, farming, cooking, architecture, medical skills, etc. According to legend, he can achieve the unity of heaven and man and make a square chair after enlightenment...but he suffers from brain disease The name is brain damage, the onset will be in a state of daze for a long time, accompanied by symptoms such as smirking, often talking nonsense, acting exaggerated, and attaching great importance to money, but he is generous in his actions, treats people kindly, extraordinary benevolence and righteousness, and is very low-key..."

Looking at all kinds of information recorded in the letter, even Yuanshan's family's land property was carefully checked, and it even recorded information such as the wealth of the hands. People, everyone wears new clothes.

Chapter 23 Limestone

Yuan Shan didn't know that he had been secretly investigated. He was wandering all over the mountains right now, not hunting, but looking for ways to make money.

Lantian is a place where limestone is produced. Although he is a science student, he has received crazy erosion of Internet information, such as tourism resource promotion advertisements in various regions, etc. He remembers that Lantian is the "hometown of beautiful jade". One of the "Four Famous Jade", and rich in stone resources.

There is also a lot of limestone, which is the magic tool he will use to make money in the next step. Although he can enjoy himself with the system, but now he is not alone, and he has the entire Yuanjia Manor industry. He needs more consumers. His market can not only be limited to the circle of senior aristocrats, but he may also end up with bad records such as clinging to the powerful and grandstanding. The most important point is that the royal laws are the most important.

Therefore, for long-term development, consumers still have to obtain from the poor, and what he has to do is to let some people get rich first, and the way is to set up factories for production, use products to drive economic development, and let a small number of farmers get rich from poverty. There are small deposits, which will drive the vigorous development of Datang's economy, and let this part of the people influence the other part of the people.

In fact, Yuan Shan's idea is very naive, but if he can do it, he is still willing to do it. Although he doesn't know the result, he wants to give it a try. He will fight for his happy life and make money.

"Master, be careful." Yan Bei who was beside him kept following, followed by Lu Tiejiang and Yang Wu. They were also craftsmen with some experience in mountains and rocks, especially Yang Wu. A woodworking profession.

"Well, go over there and have a look." Yuan Shan said.

Yuan Shan held trekking poles made by craftsmen in his hand, and some later-generation jacket-style clothing sewn from coarse cloth, and inspected them along the way.

"Master, I found it." Yang Wu said after digging a lot with a small shovel.

At this time, Tiejiang Lu also said: "That's right, it is the stone that the young master is looking for."

Yuan Shan is tired and panting here, and he is not surprised to find the limestone, he has actually seen it a long time ago, if such an obvious limestone can't be seen, then he, a science student, just crashed to death.

He was thinking, this mountain can be regarded as his property now, but he did not expect that the county magistrate Guo is really interesting. At a certain distance, the places where these limestones were found are all behind the mountains, all of which are his industries, and the Qinling Mountains are adjacent to the back, so this place is completely undeveloped.

At this time, Yuan Shan was shouting in his heart, I’m going to send it out, I’m going to send it out, limestone haha, cement can be made after mixing various stone materials, adding sodium carbonate can also make sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), quicklime and water are Slaked lime...

"Old Lu, the young master has lost his mind again, what should we do?" Yang Wu asked Tiejiang Lu as he looked at Yuan Shan in a daze and continued to smile.
