[Seventy-five] The first dandy in the Song Dynasty

In March of the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Zhao Xiaochong's health was completely healed, but she was not very happy to go back to the palace. Instead, her mother Du Guifei came to the hot spring villa to accompany her daughter after asking the official family, oh no, I went to that Taoist temple to practice. Although I mainly accompanied my daughter, I couldn't say that directly to the outside world.

Fortunately, Zhao Heng built a Taoist temple on the mountain, otherwise it would not be easy to find a reason. After all, Concubine Du Gui is still Zhao Heng's concubine, and she can't leave the palace at will.

Now only Concubine Li and Concubine Liu, who are the most favored, are left in Da Nei. Even Zhao Jue doesn't often live in Da Nei. He always lives on Hot Spring Mountain for a few months a year.

The most important thing is that the sweet potatoes on his hot spring mountain need to be promoted. Although Zhao Jue is only 12 years old, he is already a serious prince. Zhao Heng entrusted his eighth brother with the task of promotion, and Zhao Jue needs to do it. The only thing to do is to assist his starlings.

Early on, they planted the seedlings of sweet potatoes and potatoes on the Hot Spring Mountain. There is no way, only the temperature here can be compared to the climate in April, and then they wait for the seedlings to take root in the ground and take root in this land. superior.

March has gradually warmed up and the flowers are blooming. The Khotan Black Han King sent Uighur Luo Siwen to wait until their Great Song Dynasty came to deliver tribute. As the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, although Zhao Jue was young, he also accompanied his brothers to receive the envoy.

It also allowed him to see the richness of the caravans of Khotan envoys, such as jade, frankincense, amber, cotton fabrics, colored glaze, brocade, etc., many rare treasures in Bianliang. Of course, the caravans are also in Bianliang They even bought a lot of tea and silk along the way. Anyway, Zhao Jue is quite familiar with the people of the mission. It is said that their Song tea and silk are very popular abroad.

Especially when they talked about the outside world, Zhao Jue looked yearning, it sounded really good.

It's a pity that his imperial brother won't even let him go to the fiefdom, let alone the outside world.

Now the impression in Zhao Jue's head is that doing business = wealth!

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, etc., do not exist here. Originally, he was above the scholars and belonged to the royal family.

Forget it, he's still young, don't worry, when he learns the skills from the system, the system said that as long as he works hard, he will teach him the skills to save the dog's life.

A few months passed in a flash, and the Eighth Prince was on the sidelines about the planting of sweet potatoes. He asked with reservations, "Is this really so good?"

He had no choice but to see people plant it, and he hadn't seen the harvest yet. Unlike Zhao Heng, he saw Zhao Jue pull up the sweet potato with his own eyes, and then he decided to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes.

"Hey, starling, it looks like we planted this year, and it's almost ready to be harvested. Do you want to try it yourself?" Zhao Jue was stunned, because the planting time on Hot Spring Mountain was early, the land was fertile, and the sweet potatoes grew too. Soon, they planted sweet potatoes in February. Experienced farmers found that in May, these were almost grown. When they tried to pull out a plant, the sweet potatoes had grown, and they were not small at all.

"Okay." The Eighth Prince didn't object either, their old Zhao's family knew how to farm, so they changed into clothes suitable for farm work, and how they went to the fields in silk and satin, it's funny.

When I came to the experimental field, each piece of land was planted at different times and used different fertilizers, so the first to mature was the land that Zhao Jue had thrown away. As for the other fields that were rented from others, he was the kind of person who sacrificed himself for others ?nonexistent!

Under the guidance of the old farmer, the Eighth Prince pulled up a sweet potato by himself. Although it was a bit of a struggle, it went smoothly. The old farmer looked at it, and their princes were more powerful. When they were 11 years old, they could pull out sweet potatoes with one hand without any effort. .

The eight princes are many years older, but their strength is not as strong as their princes...

I don't know how the Eighth Prince would feel if he knew that the old farmer was slandering him, but Zhao Jue's strength is really great.

Even Zhao Xiaochong, who lives on the mountain, is stronger than ordinary girls, and it cost him a hundred points!It's okay if it's not useful at all!

Anyway, in good health, children are more effective than adults when using it. I think it was useless when he gave it to his sister-in-law. The imperial doctor said that his sister-in-law was exhausted. No matter how much it was supplemented, it would not be useful. .

After pulling up a bunch of sweet potatoes, the Eighth Prince was very pleased with the size of the sweet potatoes. As for the taste, he had tasted it a long time ago. He still liked the glutinous taste, especially this sweet potato can be made into vermicelli. The taste is elastic and smooth, and the feeling of satiety is strong. Potatoes are similar. It can be said to be a good thing that can replace the staple food.

As for why you are happy, can you not be happy!He just pulled out a plant, and he brought out such a bunch of sweet potatoes, each of which was as big as an adult's fist. Looking around, how many sweet potatoes can be produced in this acre of land, if he is not young enough, I am afraid it is not the heart. Can't stand it, too surprised!

Soon the Eighth Prince asked someone to pull out all the sweet potatoes in the one-acre field. Seeing the sweet potatoes piled up like a hill, tears filled his eyes. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people!

Although he said that the Song Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, there are not as many lands suitable for planting as imagined.

Sweet potatoes are very suitable now, and it's still early. They can grow seedlings and then plant a batch in the farmland outside Bianliang City. There are specially reserved fields there, which are just used to grow sweet potatoes.

On the same day, he ate a full feast of sweet potatoes and potatoes, sweet potato porridge, and potato cakes. The Eighth Prince even packed some back for his family, Empress Di.

Zhao Jue planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year, saying that it would be enough for Di Niangniang and his nephew, and being an uncle is such a grand.

There is no way, he is too aggressive, and his field has a bumper harvest, so there is no stingy person in the old Zhao family.

After one experience, the Eighth Prince has confidence. Of course, such a good thing must be promoted, and people will continue to develop the cooking methods of these two ingredients.

However, it cannot be promoted directly. After all, it is not so easy for the common people to accept new things. At least it needs a process.

"It's not easy. As long as the people eat it and find it delicious, some people will naturally be willing to grow it." Zhao Jue felt that his starling was a deadhead. How difficult it is to do such a simple thing?

"Is it really that simple?"

"You'll know if you try it."

Otherwise, it is convenient for the royal people, as long as they want to open their mouths, someone will do it, Zhao Jue’s bad idea, oh no, there are piles of ideas, just like this in the streets and alleys of Bianliang City, there are too many There are quite a few people who sell sweet potato snacks.

There was also a jar, which was placed at the entrance of a store, and inside it was charcoal-grilled sweet potatoes. The aroma was simply intoxicating.

Even in several restaurants in Bianliang City, there are different delicacies of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

That's right, these restaurants belonged to Zhao Jue. These restaurants were in the property left to him by the former empress, but the restaurants were all in different locations in Bianliang City, and he hadn't been there much before.

He has been to a restaurant once, and he has a shadow of the chef of the restaurant, and he has not attracted him by the roadside stalls!

If it wasn't for the need for restaurants to promote sweet potatoes this time, he wouldn't have remembered that he still has restaurants, but his restaurants are not those newly opened, and they are considered to be well-established.

The dishes in the restaurant can't be as casual as the roadside stalls. Potato-roasted pork ribs, potato-roasted chicken, and cumin potato chips are very popular once they are launched.

It has to be said that the people of the Song Dynasty are very good at eating, and they will automatically start to chase after any delicious food, especially foods that have never been seen before, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are very popular.

Some people pay attention to it, and others want to make money to grow it. As a result, Zhao Jue not only made a lot of money from the restaurant, but even Miao Miao turned his votes in the end.

Free is impossible to be free, does he look so rich?

Moreover, Zhao Jue firmly grasped the mentality of some people, and begged him to sell them Miao Miao for free. Maybe they would think that things that come for nothing are not good.

After getting busy, the days passed quickly, and it was October, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes planted one after another were almost harvested. Like those normal fields, without the gold kela exchanged by the Zhao Jue system, the output was not bad, not as good as that of Zhao Jue. The field of Juna Hot Spring Villa has such an amazing effect.

Zhao Heng is very satisfied with this. Compared with growing rice, this sweet potato is more suitable for the poor, especially the sweet potato grown on Zhao Jue Mountain has a relatively large yield, so someone brewed sweet potato wine. After Zhao Heng tasted it, he was very happy. Surprised, I didn't expect that this good thing that can fill the stomach can also be used to make wine, so I am not afraid of wasting food.

Zhao Jue said he was speechless. His elder brother had a good drink, but he was not allowed to drink. The reason was that drinking would not make him grow taller.

? ? ? ?

Is the reason why you can't grow taller after drinking alcohol serious? !

However, Zhao Jue was still a good and obedient boy in essence. He sent two jars of sweet potato wine to his elder brothers, and was loved by his elder brothers. Compared with wine, the gifts given by his elder brothers seemed to be more valuable.

The elder brothers said, how can I let my younger brother suffer!

really not...

His sweet potato wine is sold directly in the restaurant, and it is said that the sales volume is not bad, and it is very popular in Bianliang City, so he made another fortune out of nowhere.

Why do you always feel that you will be rich sooner or later?

Obviously he worked hard to spend money, why Zhao Jue suddenly stingy before, mainly because he bought the land of Hot Spring Mountain and spent a lot of money to build the pavilions and pavilions of Hot Spring Mountain Villa, all of which cost real money.

But since entering the cold weather, his hot spring villa is about to be broken through the threshold, and every yard has been rented out. Although there are some people who want to buy it, he is not stupid. It is impossible to sell it. , where does his winter vegetables come from?
