What use?It is very useful.

After drawing the example picture of the kang, this winter is not so difficult, and Xie Jingan's mood has improved a lot, even the scar on his leg from riding a horse doesn't feel pain anymore, he smiled and pointed to the picture: "Don't Looking at the strange shape of this thing, it seems to be a fire stove for cooking. In fact, it is much more useful than a fire stove. As for what it is useful for, I will not tell you for now. I will talk to you when Chief Qin brings the craftsmen to me tomorrow morning. listen."

Although Cui Tong scratched his heart and lungs curiously, he didn't dare to ask any more questions when he saw Xie Jingan's trickery, he just smiled and said that his subordinates would wait, then he held the blueprint and carefully roasted it on the fire until the ink was completely dry After putting it away, he asked Xie Jingan again: "Your Highness, just now the dining room sent someone to ask, and they said that it's time for dinner, and the dinner has been prepared, where does Your Highness use it?"

Xie Jingan didn't want to go anywhere except for the smaller and warmer study room, and ordered: "Let the dining room be brought to the study room, and besides, let them send a cook with fine taste and some knowledge, I have something to do command them to do it."

Have something to tell the cook to do?Cui Tong was a little strange, but then he thought it was probably because of the hard journey, His Highness asked them to make something to eat, so he didn't ask any more, just answered and went out to make arrangements.

When Cui Tongtong left and there was no one else in the study, Xie Jingan spread out another piece of rice paper, and in his mind he bought a selection of 188 home-cooked dishes through Taobao in his mind. I copied a few recipes that can basically be restored in this era, and the ingredients are not hard to find. After copying, I still threw the recipes back into the warehouse and put them on the shelves again, and then I looked at the few pieces of rice paper with fascination.

Xie Jingan is now more and more rejoicing that he is wearing this Prince Shun, who has many problems and basically does not have the characteristics of the times that ordinary princes have. That's why he dared to copy things in his own handwriting so blatantly.

However, it was limited to copying. There was no calligraphy in his era, so he learned it in interest classes for a while when he was in school, and he left it behind when he was in high school and the pressure was too high.

After so many years, even if the handwriting is not dog crawling, it is not easy to read, but the handwriting is still clear, the frame is complete, and there is no crooked writing, which is worthy of the interest class teacher who has taught him for several years.

After reminiscing about the events before time travel for a while, Xie Jingan quickly turned his attention back to the copied recipes.

It is true that he is greedy, but it is not entirely for the sake of appetite. The reason why he took out these few recipes is for the banquet of the family five days later.

If they didn't come up with some novelty things, they would voluntarily spend money and food outside. Another purpose was that he had to prepare in advance for the upcoming snowstorm, and also in disguise to make a living for the people who were suffering from hunger and cold.

Xie Jingan was thinking about the plan in his heart, and Cui Tong quickly led the people in the dining room to bring up the dinner. He was accompanied by a middle-aged cook who was not tall but had a kind face. This was probably the first time he was summoned by Xie Jingan. He was very nervous, he couldn't even smile on his face, his face was stiff, and he finished his greeting with trembling.

Probably I also knew that I was rude. After the meeting, my whole body was trembling, and my head was covered with cold sweat in the cold weather. The smile on my face seemed to be crying at first glance.

Cui Tong didn't expect that he could come out like this after a few words of advice, so his expression turned a little ugly, and he was about to reprimand him when Xie Jingan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you go and wait outside the door first, my lord I have something to ask him."

Cui Tong gave up at this point, but gave the cook a warning look, and retreated outside the door.

When Cui Tong left, the cook was obviously more nervous. Xie Jingan was also used to the pressure that his identity brought to the lower class, and he didn't subconsciously comfort him like he did when he traveled over at the beginning. He just ate dinner slowly as if he didn't see it. After eating a few mouthfuls, he asked seemingly unintentionally: "What's your name? How long have you been in the dining room of the palace? What did you do for a living? Where is your ancestral home?"

Hearing Xie Jingan's question, the cook's grin widened, and he answered cautiously: "Your Highness, my little bastard, Zhao San, has been in the palace for 11 years. His ancestral home is in Cangzhou, and he grew up on the edge of Cangzhou since he was a child." , Later, the hometown was in trouble, and the small family could not afford so many mouths, so they sent the young one to Cangzhou as an apprentice. Fortunately, the small one met a good master and gave the cooking skills to the young one. , and took the little one to travel all over the world. Later, the little master died of illness, and the little one settled down in Shangzhou. With his skills, he entered a restaurant and worked as a helper. Later, he met a nobleman and was taken to Chang'an until he met Liu. The steward only entered the palace."

He is someone who has experienced twists and turns, no wonder he was sent before him, especially when he heard that he was from Cangzhou, Xie Jingan was even more satisfied, nodded, and asked Zhao San in a softer voice, "You said your ancestral home is Cangzhou?" , I grew up on the edge of Cangzhou since I was a child, but have you ever been out in the sea? Have you ever caught fish?"

Hearing Xie Jingan ask him what he did when he was a child, Zhao San didn't know where the courage came from, and suddenly he was not so afraid, and his voice became a little louder, and he answered honestly: "Return to Your Highness, the whole small village is based on fighting Fishing makes a living. At the best time, there are three fishing boats in the whole village. As long as the boys in the village reach the age of twelve, they have to go out to sea with the elders in the village to learn how to fish. The younger ones have also been fishing for three years. Later, the young one injured his leg while fishing, and the fishing fleet encountered big waves when he was raised at home, and none of them came back. There were no fishing boats in the village, and the young one had to lose his ancestral craft and was killed. The family sent him to Cangzhou as an apprentice."

If Zhao San was satisfied growing up in Cangzhou, then the village he lived in was a fishing village, which was a complete surprise. Xie Jingan simply thought that it was the gods who saw how unlucky he was recently to compensate him. Whatever you want.

Xie Jing'an was so happy that he didn't even have the mood to eat dinner, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks, barely suppressing his impatient thoughts, and said, "Then what kind of seafood did you catch before? But there is a sea... that is long, wide, and long. There are clumps of grass-like things in the sea, have you ever seen them?"

After Xie Jingan asked, Zhao San frowned and thought hard for a while, then shook his head, and said a little nervously: "Your Highness said, I have never seen the small one, but there is a kind that is somewhat similar to what His Highness said, but it is not long, long and wide. The wide ones are thin and soft, and they all grow on the rocks, one by one, but if there are too many, they cannot be eaten, and they will get sick. Some people in small villages are very hungry and eat that kind of aquatic plants. Bloated to death."

Xie Jingan was quite disappointed when he heard Zhao San say that he had never seen kelp before. Later, when he heard about seaweeds that looked a bit like kelp, it took him a long time to realize that he was talking about seaweed, but he was a little uncertain. After all, he Eating seaweed was a very common thing in that era. I have never heard of anyone who died of illness from eating seaweed, but thinking about this era made me feel relieved.

This era is no better than later generations, with low productivity and extremely backward medical care. Many edible things have not been developed. For example, this seaweed, maybe they mixed in poisonous aquatic plants that looked like seaweed by mistake, or they mixed it with the seaweed. Some things that are not poisonous but become poisonous when mixed together are eaten together, and then cause abdominal distension and death, so that in the eyes of others, it is seaweed that is poisonous.

Xie Jing'an analyzed it for a while, and finally decided that no matter whether it was seaweed or not, he had to test it out. If it was the best, even if it wasn't, there would be no loss in sending someone there. Even if there was snow in winter, it would be difficult to travel. Right now, the snow is not counted. Thick, but if you delay for a few more days, you really can't go if you really want to go, but fortunately, Cangzhou is next to Mozhou, even if it is winter slower than the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, three days is enough. It took six days to go back and forth, and with his progress, it was almost too late.

After confirming the plan, Xie Jingan stopped looking forward and backward, and immediately asked Zhao San: "You have been away from home all these years, have you ever returned?"

Zhao San didn't understand what Xie Jingan meant, and thought he was simply asking him, showing a nostalgic and regretful expression, shook his head and said: "The journey is far away, so it's easy to go back, and besides, when a villain enters the palace, he is already an ancestor's grave It’s such a great thing to emit green smoke, the villain only wants to do a good job in the palace, and has never thought of going back to his hometown.”

Seeing that Zhao San misunderstood his meaning, Xie Jing'an wanted to explain, but thinking of the disparity in social status, he swallowed the words again, changed his friendly expression before, and became a little more serious, his voice also deliberately Depressed, he asked Zhao Sandao: "Then I have an errand that requires you to return to your hometown. Would you like it?"

Zhao San didn't expect that Xie Jingan would have an errand to be entrusted to him, so his eyes that were originally squinted widened in shock, and after a while he knelt down trembling with excitement, and said loudly: "I am willing."

Sure enough, with ordinary people, you still have to speak directly to understand, Xie Jingan nodded with a smile, and said: "That's good, my king will give you three guards and a retinue, and I will set off to your ancestral home at tomorrow morning. Gather the villagers on the spot to help the king pick the aquatic plants you mentioned earlier. The king will ask the steward to allocate a sum of money from the account to buy them. It will take up to ten days. The king will give you a maximum of ten days to return to the palace. Can you do it?"

Hearing that it was only ten days, Zhao San, who was still excited before, hesitated, thought for a while, and asked in a trembling voice with a bitter face: "Small... I wonder how much Your Highness wants to buy? If it's just a few dozen One hundred liters and ten days of effort is enough, if it takes a few thousand... I'm afraid..."

Seeing Zhao San's worried and trembling appearance, Xie Jingan didn't know what expression to make, and after a while he calmly said: "It doesn't need that much, one hundred liters is enough, bring it back and wait for me to see it before making any plans .”

Hearing that it was only [-] liters, Zhao San was immediately relieved, and promised repeatedly that he would return within ten days, and went excitedly with Xie Jingan's promise.

As soon as Zhao San left, Xie Jing'an immediately asked Cui Tong to call Jiang Zheng, and asked him to send three guards and a squire to accompany Zhao San to Cangzhou, Jiang Zheng naturally agreed.

Seeing that his plan was basically carried out normally, Xie Jingan breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly finished his dinner, asked the dining room to put away the utensils, then sat back on the chair in front of the desk, and began to close his eyes Taobao in my mind.
