Good Life in Qin Dynasty

When Li Jiyang rushed into the Shenzhou, he saw Immortal Taibai fiddling with a small stove. The small stove was small and delicate, and it twinkled inside.

"What is this?" Li Jiyang didn't recognize this thing, and there was fire inside, why didn't he see firewood?

"You still don't understand." Immortal Taibai stuffed things into his sleeves, the big snow-white sleeves were wide and flowing, and there was no sign of heavy things falling down.

Not only did Li Jiyang become more curious, he grabbed his sleeve and looked over and over again, but he didn't find the small stove!

"It's amazing!" Li Jiyang licked his face and said, "If this makes you enter the supermarket, the owner of the supermarket will have to pay for it!"

"When you become an immortal, you can be so miraculous." Immortal Taibai let Li Jiyang toss and turn his sleeves: "Is there something wrong?"

Li Jiyang, who wouldn't come here like this on weekdays, came here suddenly, and there must be something wrong. "Well, show me, does this match?" Li Jiyang took out two red cloth bags, each wrapped with a thick bamboo stick , who is the child of the family on the bamboo stick, who is the last name, and the time of birthday.

This is the horoscope that the ancients cherished and valued.

"A match made in heaven!" Immortal Taibai knew who it was at a glance.

"Really?" Li Jiyang didn't believe it: "Don't bully me for being ignorant, these two people have bad tempers!"

Immortal Taibai laughed and said, "Okay, you'll know when you're married!"

Li Jiyang curled his lips and put away his things: "If the two of them are not good, I will settle the score with you!"

"Okay!" Immortal Taibai laughed out loud, and for some unknown reason, the laughter spread far and wide.

Li Jiyang looked at the inside of the Shenzhou, he looked like a fairy, but the pedestrians who passed by were all stern-faced, without expression.

Occasionally, someone would have a strange expression, and Li Jiyang's heart would twitch when he saw it: "This is it?" Don't laugh if you smile so ugly!

"They are all trying to learn how to be a human being. To be a human being, you must have emotions and desires. It's not good to keep a straight face. They are talking about how to smile." Immortal Taibai said: "They are all good children!"

Li Jiyang is so excited, are they all robots?

"Then you can continue to let them practice, I'm going down!" Li Jiyang pointed outside, signaling for Immortal Taibai to send him down.

"Wait, these are spinach seeds, these are tomato seeds, take them down and let them grow them!" Immortal Taibai said, "Two fresh species of seeds every year will slowly enrich everyone's vegetable baskets!"

Li Jiyang looked at it and said, "Alright, in autumn we can hold a wedding banquet for the emperor's younger brother!"

Spinach was a species brought over from Persia after the Silk Road was established, while tomatoes were not available until the Ming Dynasty!

Take it out ahead of time and enjoy it, it's great!

Li Jiyang also likes to eat tomatoes!

But in the past twenty years, I have not dared to take it out and eat it!

This will be fine, with Immortal Taibai as an excuse, I can take out and plant anything!

When he went down, he did indeed step on a soft cushion. Well, Zhao Xi became more and more lovable.

Everyone heard Immortal Taibai's laughter, but they didn't understand why.

As soon as Ying Zheng saw Li Jiyang, he asked him why his master was so happy?

"Isn't it because I combined the horoscope for the emperor's younger brother? Master said it was a match made in heaven!" Li Jiyang raised the things in his hand: "I even gave the seeds of two new species..."

Talk about spinach and tomato as a gift for the emperor's younger brother to celebrate the success of the horoscope.

Ying Zheng looked at the spinach seeds and tomato seeds: "Someone will find a piece of wasteland to plant them. If they are planted well, they will be promoted all over the world next year!"

Last year's Chinese cabbage was eaten by everyone all winter. It can be preserved for a long time, and it can be pickled into sauerkraut, spicy cabbage, dried cabbage, etc. The yield is so high, it is simply a treasure!

Now this spinach is said to have a shorter growth cycle, and it can be eaten in about half a month after planting!

The person in charge of the imperial field went down with his things, and quickly found a piece of wasteland to plant. Although the emperor said it was not easy to grow, if even the wasteland could be planted, wouldn't the people love it more?

At the beginning, the wasteland was planted with some radishes and the like, and they didn’t grow well, because the nutrition couldn’t compete with the weeds, but now this thing can compete with the weeds!

Tomatoes need to find a piece of raw land to plant, that is, the land that has been opened up, before it can grow other grains, and there are many such land among the people.

After taking these two seeds away, Ying Zheng put together the two bamboo slips engraved with the horoscope: "Since the horoscope is combined, I will tell the Empress Dowager and A Niang of the two palaces today."

"Yeah!" Li Jiyang nodded, this is a happy event and should be reported.

When the family got together for dinner in the evening, Fusu was of course happy when they talked about this matter, but Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was worried.

After half a month, they had spinach and egg soup!

Looking at the green spinach, Ying Zheng drank a bowl without changing his expression.

Li Jiyang thinks that Ying Zheng is still very good, look, now he can eat green vegetables!

The imperial chefs began to toss spinach again. Although spinach is a fresh species, there are many plants in the imperial field, and this stuff is also promising. It grows fast one by one——Li Jiyang finally ate the long-lost spinach!

From the spinach and egg soup at the beginning to the later spinach balls, spinach tofu soup, etc., the dishes made of green spinach are also green, and Li Jiyang eats them cheerfully—and spinach is high in iron, which nourishes the blood!

The empress dowagers and empress dowagers of the two palaces also like to eat this, it is light and delicious!

Only Yingzheng and Fusu don't like it very much, even making flowers is useless!

It is not as delicious as meat!

How to do it?

The spinach in the palace was stacked in bundles in the imperial dining room, Ying Zheng thought of a way!

At the beginning, Yingzheng sent a large bundle to each of his courtiers, and also attached a packet of seeds. As a result, as soon as the summer came, the spinach was flooded outside. Many civilians wanted to grow it, but there was no place to buy seeds. Li Jiyang just in time This made Dafengshou Grain Store sell spinach seeds.

Tomatoes are slower, now they are only knee height, and they haven't bloomed yet!

Li Jiyang remembered that tomatoes first came to the Central Plains as an ornamental plant. Thinking that Empress Dowager Zhao liked to grow green plants with fruits, he asked someone to pick a few big ones and put them in pots to send to Empress Zhao Ji.

By the way, I told her about the tomatoes.

"Can it really change from green to red?" Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was very surprised: "Oranges only change from green to yellow."

"This one is red, it's red and red!" Li Jiyang gestured: "It tastes sour and sweet!"

"Can you still eat it?" The Empress Dowager Zhao Ji asked suspiciously, "Is it not poisonous?"

In the eyes of the ancients, the fresher the more poisonous things, the reason for this can be found in mushrooms.

The more poisonous the mushroom, the more beautiful the color, and the more delicious the mushroom, the duller the color.

That's why the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji wondered if it was so fresh, could it be eaten?

"It's possible!" Li Jiyang said in his heart that he had eaten countless times in the space, and now he said he couldn't eat it?

"Oh!" The Empress Dowager Zhao Ji trusted Li Jiyang.

"But you can't eat it when it's green, you can only eat it when it turns red!" Li Jiyang popularized the knowledge to her: "When it's green, it's sour and bitter!"

And it is slightly poisonous.

Unless it's a naturally green tomato.

In the early summer of May, Li Jiyang went to the mansion of General Wang Jian again, this time it was "Nazheng" in the Six Rites.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the man's family Najib sent the bride price to the woman's family.

In "Book of Rites" in "Shihun Li", Kong Yingda said: "The one who accepts the levy is the one who accepts the money. The levy is also successful."

So Nazheng is also called Nabi, that is, the man's family gives the woman's family a dowry gift.

Li Jiyang's phoenix drove in front, and the dowry gifts in the back were pulled by double-wheeled carriages from the palace to the General's Mansion.

Li Jiyang's phoenix chariots had all entered the gate of the General's Mansion, and the carriage delivering the betrothal gift behind hadn't left the gate of the palace yet!

Everyone who saw it said, what a lot of betrothal gifts!

The Daqin Empire Daily of Daqin Newspaper reported on this, and even pulled out a long list!

This kind of betrothal gift is not much worse than when the emperor married the king. Everyone can see from the betrothal gift that the royal family values ​​Wang Wan'er.

Li Jiyang's gift was not counted, but he had to chat with General Wang Jian.

To be honest, Li Jiyang admired General Wang Jian very much, but this general was not restrained in his words and smiles. Ever since he knew that Wang Wan'er was going to marry into the palace, he had always kept a straight face.

In the past, Li Jiyang was able to get close to him, but now, as a junior, he dare not speak to others easily, for fear of angering his in-laws!

It was Mrs. Wang who saw the awkwardness between the two of them, and acted as a lubricant from the sidelines: "Although there are a lot of betrothal gifts, our Wang family will count them all as dowry."

"No, just keep whatever you need at home. There is everything in the palace. Your two elders raised Miss Wan'er to grow up. When Miss Wan'er gets married, you two should keep something. It's just a thought!" Li Jiyang immediately followed Mrs. Wang spoke.

"Could it be that my Wang family sells their daughters for glory?" General Wang Jian slammed the case, and his eyebrows were cold!

"I, I didn't mean that!" Li Jiyang explained stutteringly.

"What are you doing!" Mrs. Wang beat General Wang Jian several times in front of Li Jiyang: "I know you can't bear to part with Wan'er, but why are you making things difficult for Qin Anjun? After Wan'er is married, we can also enter the palace. Look at her!"

Li Jiyang wiped off his sweat, and then he remembered that in this era, the harem is not so strict, and those who are not allowed to enter are just floating clouds!

"If the general misses Miss Wan'er, you can go to the East Palace to take a look! If Wan'er is not doing well, you can clean up Fusu!" Li Jiyang contributed Fusu out of a dead friend who never died .

"He is the emperor's younger brother, so the old minister dare not offend!" General Wang Jian's face was still not good-looking.

Li Jiyang rolled his eyes: "Look at what you said. First, you are his first teacher of martial arts. It is only natural for this teacher to clean up the students! Second, you are his elder, and it is right for you to guide him how to live. The empress dowagers of the two palaces also occasionally guide and guide me!"

In fact, the empress dowagers of the two palaces were bored, so they thought about asking Li Jiyang to make something for them to play with.

When Li Jiyang said this, General Wang Jian looked at him directly: "Does the emperor think so too?"

If it's Qin Anjun, I'm afraid it's not close.

Li Jiyang immediately understood his concerns. It was because he was afraid that Ying Zheng would disagree, so he took care of Fusu!

"Of course!" Li Jiyang can still decide on this point: "I mean what he means, we are a family!"

General Wang Jian finally showed a smile: "Since this is the case, the old man will inevitably discuss with the emperor's brother how to live!"

Li Jiyang thought subconsciously: I'm afraid this kid Fusu will be punished!

Because Confucianism has not yet developed much, today's monarchs and ministers are very harmonious, somewhat like a family, and there is no clear class division as in later generations.

The dowry was not delivered until the afternoon, and Li Jiyang took people to have dinner at the General's Mansion.

It may be that General Wang Jian is happy, this dinner is very sumptuous, there are ten roast suckling pigs alone!

The braised lamb is even more delicious!

Before leaving, he also gave red envelopes of ten knives to those who came to give the betrothal gifts, no matter how big or small they were!

This was prepared by Mrs. Wang, and the effect was very good. At least after Li Jiyang returned to the palace, rumors spread in the palace that the future wife of the emperor's younger brother, Miss Wang Wan'er, is a generous girl...!

And Ying Zheng finally approved Wang Ben's request and allowed him to return to Beijing to report on his work.
