Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

The reunion dinner brought the Third Prince and the Crown Prince closer together, and also made the Third Prince's wife successfully become a little fan of the Crown Princess. She kept praising the Crown Princess for the delicious dishes she brought out from the space.

In particular, she and the children all liked the cheese-baked prawns, the colorful pineapple, lobster, shrimp and water chestnut fried rice in the lobster boat, and the steamed egg custard with crab legs and crab roe. The three of them couldn't stop eating them.

The third prince's fiefdom was far from the sea, and it would take five hours to transport the seafood to the fiefdom even if it was transported there by horse. Therefore, they could not eat truly fresh seafood.

Moreover, the cooks in the Third Prince's fiefdom were not good at processing seafood. The seafood dishes that Xiao Yunyan took out from the space were all top-notch dishes made after being tried, suggested and improved by gourmets from all over the world.

This is a delicacy that is even more exquisite than that made by the chef in the imperial kitchen. The children love it, and the third prince's wife also joins in grabbing it and praising it. The third prince and the concubine eat two or three bites of each dish and are almost full. The rest of the time is spent cracking crabs.

The maid was helping on the side, but was very slow and methodical. The mother and daughter felt that it was not satisfying, so they asked the maid to leave, and simply gave up the eight crab pieces and started to peel the shells and eat the crab roe and crab meat directly.

Although the crab roe and crab meat custard is smooth and delicious, it is better to leave it for the children.

They prefer to directly eat the large swimming crabs weighing one and a half kilograms, and the red-shelled crabs weighing half a kilogram.

If you like to eat tender, firm and sweet crab meat, choose male red crab. The meat in the crab legs is the best.

If you like crab roe, then choose female swimming crabs. The crab roe is full and it is very satisfying to eat it in one big mouthful. Swimming crabs are large in size and have rich meat. The meat in the thigh can be broken apart and eaten directly.

Paired with the chrysanthemum wine brewed by Xiao Yunyan herself, it is even more irresistible.

Everyone chatted while eating crabs, and the topic finally turned to the emperor and the queen.

The concubine asked Xiao Yunyan how the emperor and the queen were doing now. Are they well?

The third prince was also very concerned about the health of his father and mother, and listened attentively.

Because the emperor and the empress were mentioned, in order to show respect, everyone put down their bowls, chopsticks and crabs and listened to Xiao Yunyan answer the concubine's questions.

Xiao Yunyan described in a very relaxed and cheerful manner that her father and mother were currently on a merchant ship traveling with the crew to various continents, tasting local delicacies, appreciating the different scenery, and experiencing the customs and practices of different regions.

Because they took body-strengthening pills and usually carried ginseng water from Lingquan, their bodies were in very good condition and they recovered like young people.

My father and mother spent the first half of their lives in the palace and were never allowed to go out. Now they have handed over the government affairs to their grandchildren. The two of them are having a blast and don't want to go back to the capital at all.

After hearing this, the concubine was very envious. Although she felt a little regretful that the happy woman who could accompany the emperor was not herself, she and the emperor did not have such a deep relationship, so she was more envious.

The Concubine Dowager was also sincerely happy for the Emperor and the Empress. They were now living such a free and happy life, which was truly the envy of others.

The happiest person was the third prince, who had deep feelings for his father and respected his mother. This was because the queen took good care of his mother and him and never treated them harshly.

The third prince was always grateful to the queen in his heart. Without the queen's generosity and protection, his mother would not have survived in the palace until he was born, and would have been murdered by other concubines.

Hearing that his father and mother were not only in good health but also lived a carefree and free life, he felt both envious and happy.

The Third Prince's wife, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly spoke out her thoughts. She asked the Third Prince, "Your Highness, everything is going very smoothly in the fiefdom now. Shouldn't our family of five also take some time to travel around?"

The Third Prince comforted her and said, "Don't worry, my dear wife, your husband will definitely pick a time to take mother, my dear wife, and the children out to play.

But it's probably too early now, because recently I will promote the trial planting of new species and new seeds among the public.

In addition, because I just had a deep conversation with the Crown Prince, I have a lot of ideas in my mind. I want to discuss with the officials and then formulate policies to implement in the fiefdom, so I can't leave for the time being. Please give your husband more time. "

After hearing the explanation of the Third Prince, the wife of the Third Prince also understood her husband very well. If the Third Prince wanted to work hard and make great achievements in his fiefdom, she would of course fully support him.

If the fiefdom is well governed, they themselves will become richer and will have many opportunities to travel abroad in the future, so there is no need to waste time doing so.

Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan suggested that after the new seeds and new species were promoted in the third brother's fiefdom, if everything went well and other businesses also developed further, the products in the fiefdom should be sold outside. At that time, they could also go out to do business and have fun at the same time.

In the past, some of their products were sold to other neighboring countries, but they were not sold further afield.

Because the Third Prince just mentioned the problem of overcapacity in the fiefdom. Li Mohan also analyzed it for him. Overcapacity is just because there are not enough orders. If their products are sold overseas, there will be no problem of overcapacity, and there may be a shortage of supply.

The Third Prince's vision suddenly opened up. He was now full of excitement, which prompted him to quickly make great efforts in the fiefdom. He wanted to quickly develop agriculture and commerce in the fiefdom, thereby promoting the great development of the economy in the fiefdom, and then drive the great development of local culture, art, and politics.

The grand blueprint is right in front of him, but he also knows that impatient people cannot eat hot tofu.

Therefore, first of all, he had to start with the basics of agriculture. Xiao Yunyan analyzed that it was not just a matter of seeds and species, the most important thing was the construction of water conservancy.

Although Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan had previously led the construction of roads, irrigation canals, and water cellars in various places, if the local economy is to develop further, more detailed water conservancy projects must be built.

This also requires the Third Prince to carefully negotiate and formulate policies with the officials in the yamen responsible for the construction of water conservancy projects in the fiefdom.

Then professional personnel will carry out the detailed design of the project.

The project needs to be advanced bit by bit. The construction of infrastructure that benefits the country and the people needs the financial and taxation departments of the fiefdom to be responsible for funding. When it comes to silver, it involves the coordination of all parties, so it is not a small matter.

Xiao Yunyan didn't know the specific content of the conversation between the Third Prince and Li Mohan just now. Now that it was mentioned, Li Mohan mentioned to Xiao Yunyan that he wanted to provide new species and improved seeds in the Third Prince's fiefdom.

Xiao Yunyan said that this was very simple, as there were too many seeds in the space to use up.

Tomorrow, let the officials of the Agricultural Land and Water Conservancy Department in the fiefdom estimate how many seeds are needed for trial planting and promotion? Then she left the seeds directly.

The third prince also took the opportunity to put forward his idea of ​​immediately building water conservancy projects and agricultural infrastructure within his fiefdom.

Xiao Yunyan and Mo Han both expressed their support, and if there was a lack of technical guidance, Li Mo Han would provide support in this regard.

Because he had been leading his engineering team to build water conservancy facilities, bridges and roads all over the world for a period of time. Both the personnel and technology were very mature.

The third prince said that they really needed guidance in this regard. It would be best if professional technicians could come to help them and provide on-site guidance and lead the workers in the construction.

After Li Mohan and Xiao Yunyan discussed it, they made the decision on the spot. Although the engineering team had many projects and the technical masters were very busy, it was still very easy to select a skilled master to lead and guide the water conservancy officials and migrant workers in the fiefdom to carry out the construction.

The third prince did not expect that the crown prince and the crown princess could easily help him solve all the problems that troubled him.

After dinner, the Third Prince and his family asked Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan to stay at the palace. Li Mohan said that they had to quickly arrange for seeds and construction technicians. Besides, there were other things to do, so he would not bother them at the palace.

Before leaving, the Third Prince's wife wanted to give Xiao Yunyan some local specialties. Xiao Yunyan confiscated everything else and only accepted the local traditional food.

The local area is rich in sticky glutinous rice, so there are many special foods with glutinous rice as the main ingredient. Xiao Yunyan collected some of each. Among them, she likes to eat bamboo tube rice with ham or bacon.

In fact, it is the same as the bamboo tube rice dumplings of later generations, which is the bamboo tube rice in the fiefdom of the third prince. The taste better reflects the taste of the food itself.

In later generations, there are a lot of MSG and additives in various meat dumplings to enhance the flavor. The sticky starch increases the viscosity and makes the hot dumplings very sticky. However, for those who like cold food, eating cold and hard dumplings is really unpalatable.

When you first eat the zongzi with additives, your taste buds will feel fresh. However, the taste lacks the unique delicious taste of bacon or ham. The natural sticky and sweet fragrance of glutinous rice and the special fragrance of bamboo tubes or zong leaves are also covered by MSG and flavor enhancers.

Therefore, Xiao Yunyan still prefers bamboo tube salted pork rice and bamboo tube ham and scallop rice. Those were made overnight by the palace cook and were specially given to Xiao Yunyan.

It was during the chat before dinner that the princess mentioned these two specialties and said that she particularly liked them. Xiao Yunyan actually said that she also liked them.

After hearing this, the princess took it to heart and asked the cook to immediately cook a batch of bamboo tube rice that she had prepared in her house and give it to Xiao Yunyan as a gift.

Start cooking from mid-afternoon and keep it simmering until Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan are ready to leave. The heat is sufficient. It is best to heat it up before eating.

Xiao Yunyan put the bamboo tube rice into the space so she could take it out and eat it at any time, which was very convenient.

Xiao Yunyan immediately ordered a large batch of bamboo tube rice from the Third Princess, and requested a few more flavors. She planned to come and pick it up after they were ready.

She kept some of these filling and delicious convenience foods in her space for her family and masters to try, and she could also take them out occasionally to satisfy her cravings.

You can’t tell what you’ll suddenly want to eat, but it’s always a good idea to be prepared.

Xiao Yunyan left money for the Third Prince's wife, but she refused to take it. Xiao Yunyan could only leave ham, bacon, glutinous rice, and bamboo tubes.

Then, Xiao Yunyan also gave the Third Prince's wife skin care products, body-strengthening pills and Lingquan ginseng water.

After exchanging gifts, Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan entered the space under the reluctant gazes of the Third Prince, his wife, and the Dowager Concubine.

They immediately teleported to their own fiefdoms, found Shan Tongle, and asked him to arrange one or two skilled masters to go to the third prince's fiefdom to help.

The next day, Shan Tongle arranged for an experienced master to take an apprentice who was about to become a master to take on the task together.

Xiao Yunyan also prepared seeds for several modern crops that are adapted to the climate of the Third Prince's fiefdom.

The high-yield seeds of the local staple foods, such as rice, wheat, millet and barley, were taken out from the space and prepared to be distributed.

After everything was prepared, Li Mohan went to the Third Prince's Mansion himself and brought the seeds and people there.

Privately, Li Mohan gave his third brother 300,000 taels of silver. This was his private money. Xiao Yunyan originally wanted to give it to him in person, but the third prince's wife refused.

Li Mohan didn't say anything at that time. This time he did not disturb others when sending the seeds. Instead, he called his third brother to the study room alone and gave him the silver note.

The Third Prince immediately refused, saying that he could not take their money. Moreover, it was given to him privately, so he could not take it. He did not want to cause discord between his Fourth Brother and his wife because of the money.

Li Mohan told his third brother that this amount of money was nothing to him, it was just his pocket money, and he didn't touch the money from the public treasury. Besides, Xiao Yunyan originally wanted to leave the money for them. This was also Xiao Yunyan's intention, so that his third brother could accept it with peace of mind.
