"Eunuch? Eunuch?" Su Jin's servant cautiously opened the door of his room. He didn't respond after calling twice, so he had to move closer and took a deep breath, "Eunuch!"

"Oh, my mother!" Su Jin flicked it violently, and when he saw who was in front of him, he immediately yelled, "Little brat, how strong are you?!"

"No, no." The servant hurriedly avoided Su Jin's waving hand, and quickly explained, "Your Majesty calls you!"

"Your Majesty?" Su Jin paused, and then seemed to flip a switch, "Bring me my coat!"

Under the service of the servant, Su Jin put on his coat in twos and twos, arranged the bun on his head again, put on the tiara of the corresponding grade, picked up the whisk and hurried to the main hall of the Xuanshi Palace.

In the main hall, the jade pendant was still on, emitting a warm glow.

After stepping into the mid-level of the heavenly rank, Tong Ran was full of righteousness, and he didn't feel tired after talking to Chu Jun for half an hour, but Chu Jun already wanted to cut off contact.It wasn't because of his lack of righteousness, but because after Tong Ran caught one of his flaws, he caught another one, and Chu Jun was trying his best to prevaricate it.

"You haven't slept yet, Su Jin has already fallen asleep?" Through the jade pendant, Chu Jun could hear the doubts in Tong Ran's words.

After a moment of silence, Chu Jun said: "He works hard on weekdays, I told him to go back and rest early."

The jade pendant's light was still on, but Tong Ran didn't speak anymore, and Chu Jun's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a lot. It felt like being tested by his father when he was a child. The queen mother came to rescue him.

Finally, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and Su Jin, who was wearing a crooked hat, came in panting.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Chu Jun was dressed in bright yellow pajamas and sat on the head of the bed with a robe on. When he saw Su Jin, he immediately waved and said, "Come here."

Su Jin's heart was also beating wildly. He helped up his hat, which was not firmly on, and was about to speak when Chu Jun glared at him.Your Majesty is giving him winks?Su Jin was sensitively aware that something was different.

He bowed over and found that His Majesty was not only wearing a robe, but also holding the jade pendant that he wears every day. The jade pendant exuded a warm glow.

It was the jade pendant given to His Majesty by the national teacher, Su Jin recognized it.

Could it be that the national teacher is in the bedroom?Su Jin turned his sight slightly, but he didn't see anyone, only His Majesty was in the hall.

"What did I eat today?" Chu Jun asked.

"Ah?" Su Jin blurted out, covering his mouth hastily after the sound had come out, "Damn the little one, the little one fell asleep stupidly."

"It doesn't matter." Chu Jun winked at him again, "Say it well, what meals did I eat today?" He emphasized which ones.

You haven't eaten yet today!Su Jin almost blurted out again, quickly covered it, and then said carefully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, for breakfast, you had a bean paste bun, a pork bun, and half a bowl of yam and Poria porridge. For lunch, you used white rice and steamed deer tail. Duck stuffed with glutinous rice, braised shrimp..."

Su Jin took a peek at Chu Jun's face, and carefully reported the names of the dishes one by one. These were Chu Jun's previous meals.

Seeing that His Majesty's brows were gradually relaxed and there was no anger, Su Jin's heart slowly relaxed, and the name of the dish was reported smoothly.After he finished reporting for lunch and dinner, Chu Jun said again: "Didn't I eat stewed chicken with wild mushrooms today?"

Su Jin was at a loss. Xuanshidian hadn't served stewed chicken with wild mushrooms in this month. The good chickens in the palace were all eaten by the tigers raised by Mr. Tong when Mr. Tong was around a few days ago. It will take some time to get up.

However, in view of the weirdness of the current situation, Su Jin cautiously did not say so much, but replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, not today."

"That's what I ate yesterday, I misremembered it." Chu Jun said.

Su Jin was at a loss again, but he didn't dare to refute and nodded, saying: "It was eaten yesterday."

After saying this, Chu Jun waved his hand: "You go down first."

Su Jin was even more at a loss. His Majesty had slept for a whole day, so he was called to ask about lunch and dinner for half a day. Isn't it time to get up and eat?

Su Jin suspected that he wasn't awake at all, he was just dreaming, he retreated like a ghost, closed the door of the palace, and only Chu Jun was left in the bedroom again.

Tong Ran on the other side of the jade pendant put the little tiger lying on his back, patting its belly with his hands recklessly.

After hearing the door closing over there, he said, "You ate a lot today."

Chu Jun advocated frugality, and a meal only consisted of eight to ten dishes. Su Jinbao’s lunch and dinner today had [-] or [-] dishes, which was more than Chu Jun’s daily consumption.

Confused!

Chu Jun cursed secretly, and quickly explained: "I'm a little tired these two days, so let them do more."

Tong Ran raised her eyebrows, tired?

Chu Jun must have something to hide from him.What is it?

He spread out the four paws of the little tiger to form a big character, then closed them again, and carried them all to its belly.The little tiger who fell asleep is really super obedient, no matter how hard he tosses, he won't wake up.

He doesn't doubt that Chu Jun has done something wrong to him. After all, he has been a monk for more than 20 years, so there is no need to find something new for himself at this stall.

"Really." After a long time, Chu Jun's deep voice sounded again, and Tong Ran could hear some grievances.

Suppressing the corners of her mouth that could not help but curl up, Tong Ran coughed dryly and said, "Got it, it's late, go to sleep."

Chu Jun still felt guilty and didn't have the guts to continue chatting with him, so he said good night according to his wishes, and cut off contact.

"There must be something tricky." Tong Ran was even more sure, never seeing Chu Jun hang up the phone so simply, no, it was the jade pendant.

Chu Jun, who had just cut off contact in the palace, often let out a sigh of relief. In fact, it is not impossible to tell Tong Ran that he is a little tiger, but...some pictures rushed into Chu Jun's mind suddenly, and Tong Ran hugged it to wash it away. Little ball, Tong Ran rubbed its belly while it was sleeping, Tong Ran called it cub and let it sit in her arms... No, no, no, Tong Ran must not know!

At least not now.

tell you later!

Early the next morning, after Tong Ran finished his breakfast, someone invited Gu Lan over.

Gu Lan followed Sang Le, thinking that Tong Ran had something to do again, but in the end she asked him how many railway debts he had left.

Because of the tense relationship with the national treasury, Tong Ran proposed the method of issuing bonds to raise funds when he was in Beijing.

After the investigation, design and improvement of the Ministry of Household Affairs, a variety of bonds for road construction and railway construction have been launched, some of which are issued directly by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and some are issued by local governments after approval by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The first railway in Dacheng will be built, connecting the capital and Chuzhou Prefecture. For this purpose, the Ministry of Households and Dunan Road have issued corresponding bonds.

Gu Lan's commitment announced that the Department of Political Envoy was in charge of finances, so after Tong Ran agreed to this matter, he was handed over to him, and Tong Ran didn't often ask about specific matters.

Gu Lan was not personally in charge of the bond issuance, but she helped Chu Shuang buy ten shares yesterday, so she happened to know the quantity, and replied: "As of Xushi last night, there are still 8000 two hundred and twenty-three bonds, and 23 bonds have been sold. Seven."

The sale was good. Tong Ran estimated the speed and was very satisfied. Then he said, "I want the rest. You can ask someone to go through the formalities and send the receipt to my study."

"Ah?" Gu Lan was taken aback for a moment, unable to realize what happened.

"I want to buy the rest, can't I?" Tong Ran asked back.There is no prohibition in the imperial court that officials cannot buy.

"Yes, yes, of course." Gu Lan hurriedly added, "Well, the sales of bonds are good, and some may have been sold this morning, which may not be enough for the amount just now."

"It's okay, I want the rest." Tong Ran said.He earned a lot of money from selling bicycle blueprints, as well as rewards from Chu Jun one after another, and income from Ran Heng Movable Type Printing Workshop. His early industry is doing well now.Adding these up, buying thousands of bonds is not a problem.

Tong Ran didn't give Gu Lan a chance to ask again, and pointed Sang Le to withdraw the money, and then asked him to go through the formalities with Gu Lan.

The sooner the bonds are sold, the sooner the money will be in place, and the sooner the construction of the railway can start.When the railway is ready, it won't take half a day to travel to and from the capital. He can rush back and check Chujun's post.

"Wow!" The little tiger jumped onto the desk and shouted.

Gu Lan and the others just left, when Tong Ran saw the little tiger, he immediately smiled: "Zai Zai woke up? Are you hungry?"

"Peanuts, rapeseed, walnuts, sesame... have you used them all?" At noon in midsummer, Tong Ran was enjoying the coolness under the porch, but it got hotter and hotter.

"I've used them all." Sang Le took a quill and sketched on the notebook he nailed for a while, "You also tried oils pressed from tea, corn, rapeseed, soybeans, tung seeds, litsea cubeba, and castor."

Tong Ran fanned the wind very quickly, but she was still restless.

I have been trying for more than a month, using all kinds of oils, even extracting some of the tea leaves that the little tiger drank, but I still can’t make oil-based ink with satisfactory quality.

Is it the ratio?

Tong Ran glanced at the little tiger sleeping on the soft cushion in the shade of the porch, if he got some tea leaves from it to extract oil, would the little tiger fight him desperately?

It's not that he is extravagant and wasteful, and that he needs tribute tea to make ink, but after the little cub stops catching and biting, Tong Ran loves to see it angry more and more, it's so cute and lawless.

The little tiger slept soundly, its small body heaving and falling, completely unaware that someone was messing with its crooked brain.

He slept like hell.Tong Ran was extremely jealous.

He has not slept well for half a month. One is that the weather is getting hotter and hotter after entering the Slight Heat, and now it is getting hotter and hotter. The second is that in order to develop more convenient and durable lead alloy movable type printing, he plans to create oily type first. Ink, but I tried various oils and didn't get a satisfactory one, so I was very upset.

"Go get some milk, sugar and eggs." Tong Ran said.

Sang Le, who was still thinking about something that could extract oil, froze for a moment, and said cautiously: "My lord, do you want milk, sugar and eggs that can be eaten?"

"Of course." Tong Ran looked at him inexplicably.

Sang Le couldn't figure it out, could these things be used as ink?But Tong Ran's eyes could not be more clear, just to tell him not to be naughty and get it quickly, Sang Le wisely put away the notebook and put down the quill, and went to the kitchen.

After getting the food, Tong Ran beat eight egg yolks into a large bowl, discarded the egg whites, and added three tablespoons of granulated sugar, and then invited a strong and strong yamen servant to stir it in one direction until he was strong enough. The sturdy yamen servant felt that his arm was about to break, so Tong Ran called to stop.

The yamen servant held his sore arm and said cautiously: "Dare to ask my lord, what are you doing?"

"Sorbet." Tong Ran said concisely. He ordered that the hot pure milk had been prepared on the small stove next to it. Before it boiled, Tong Ran asked Sang Le to bring it over, poured in the beaten egg batter, and asked the servants to continue stirring .

The yamen servant's face was wrinkled, and he endured the soreness in his arms and continued to stir the custard and milk. He thought it would take as long as just now, but this time Tong Ran called to stop after a while.

Tong Ran took the big bowl, and there was a faint light yellow in the mushy white inside.

He gave the big bowl to Sang Le, and ordered: "It's frozen in the cellar, take it out and stir it every hour." He glanced at the yamen servant who was covering his arms, and added, "Let's find two people to take turns to stir it carefully. some."

Sang Le took the order and left.

After making ice cream, Tong Ran was finally not so upset about the summer in Chuzhou Prefecture. He picked up the little tiger and walked around aimlessly.

As he walked, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't tried linseed oil yet.

Tong Ran immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Sang Le! Go buy flaxseeds!"

The author has something to say: Tong Ran: Bullying little tigers is the most fun.

Little Tiger: Whoa!
