[Red House] Release a concubine and have children

After Cai Li told Fu Li about this situation, she always felt that this situation sounded familiar, as if she had heard someone mention something that could achieve such an effect before, but it might be because her memory was too long, and she was stunned. remember.

In order to find out what happened, Fu Li went to the Zhou Gong Hot Pot Restaurant which was closest to the one opened by Wang Xifeng again.

The business in the hot pot restaurant is still as good as ever, with many people coming and going, and a lot of guests.But if it is compared with the Wangjia hot pot restaurant before it opened, it looks a bit depressed.

However, Cai Li had already told Fu Li about this situation before, so when she found out about this situation, she was not surprised at all.

As soon as Fu Li arrived, Cai Li led him to the second floor, and not long after, he sent people to Wang's Hot Pot Restaurant to buy a hot pot, and put it in front of Fu Li: "I have had people taste it before, Wang's Hot Pot Restaurant The recipe of the hot pot base inside is completely the low-end version in our store, and I don’t know if it’s because the chefs in the Wang’s hot pot restaurant are not good at cooking, or their bosses don’t care at all. It looks very rough, and those who know how to taste it will know that the chef has no intention at all.”

He frowned, his eyes were very puzzled, "More importantly, I asked someone to order all the ingredients in the Wang's hot pot restaurant. The ingredients have been specially processed, but if you really want to taste it seriously, you can still taste it. The spare ingredients in the hot pot restaurant are not very fresh."

Fu Li looked at the ingredients in Wang's hotpot restaurant. Although they were not as good as those in their hotpot restaurant, they were still fresh, right?

When she turned her head to look at Cai Li again, her eyes were rather complicated, and she was even a little disappointed: "Even if the Wang's Hot Pot Restaurant steals our business, you don't need to belittle the Wang's Hot Pot Restaurant to nothing, right?"

Cai Li smiled wryly: "Boss, it's not because I was robbed of business by the Wang Family Hot Pot Restaurant, so I held a grudge, and wanted to demote the Wang Family Hot Pot Restaurant to nothing in front of you, so as to show that I'm not that useless. I... ..." He paused, then raised his finger to point at the dishes on the table, "If you don't believe me, you'd better taste it yourself. The ingredients and vegetables in Wang's Hot Pot Restaurant are okay, but the meat has a smell The strange smell. The chef in our store has a good nose, and even smelled some rancid smell."

Fu Li was taken aback, and there were ingredients bought from Wang's hot pot restaurant in front of her. There was really no need for Cai Li to tell such a lie in front of her.

She paused, did not speak, but picked up the chopsticks to pick up the meat slices and put them in the pot.

After a while, the meat slices were cooked.

Fu Li picked up the sliced ​​meat and was about to put it in his mouth, when Cai Li suddenly said: "Boss, the taste is really bad, you just need to take a small bite, and taste the taste is enough..." After a moment of hesitation, He said, "This Wang's hot pot restaurant is indeed a bit weird, you'd better not eat too much. Because I inquired about the weirdness of Wang's work in advance, so we bought the ingredients and the bottom of the pot from their store before. At that time, I kept restraining myself from eating too much. After a few days, it seems that the customers of Wang’s Hot Pot Restaurant felt uncomfortable when they went to the Hot Pot Restaurant every day. So we thought, Wang’s Hot Pot Even if the store is very weird, you need to eat a few more meals in their store to make that happen."

Fu Li's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't hold the chopsticks firmly, and all the slices of meat that were on the chopsticks fell onto the table.

She looked at Cai Li in disbelief: "What did you just say?"

Cai Li was startled: "Don't eat too much?"

"No, the last sentence!"

"Wang's Hot Pot Restaurant is really weird?"

"No, the last sentence!"

Cai Li was a little dazed, and recalled after a while, and repeated: "Even if Wang's hot pot restaurant is very weird, maybe you have to eat a few more meals in their store, and then there will be those customers who don't eat hot pot in the store every day. An uncomfortable situation?"

Freeteng stood up and slammed the table down: "Poppy shell!"

She said why she always felt so familiar when Cai Li talked about the situation of Wang's hotpot restaurant.

In the previous life, in order to make money, many unscrupulous merchants added a lot of poppy shells to the food recipes without conscience, so as to make customers addicted to the food in the store. As time passed, they could no longer leave their store food.But later this incident was discovered and reported to the police, and it was seized not long after.

As a warning to others, the shop owner who used poppy husks as a food recipe was also severely punished.

Not only that, in order to remind consumers to be more vigilant when eating out in the future, this case was also broadcast as a typical case on the news network. In the end, all the merchants who had committed similar behaviors were successfully arrested, and such criminal acts were completely eliminated.

Because Fu Li was still young when the incident broke out, so when he suddenly heard about the customers of the Wang Family Hot Pot Restaurant, Fu Li didn't connect it with the poppy shell

In Fu Li's impression, poppies were only introduced to China during the Opium and Pill Wars. She always believed that there were no such things as poppies in China before the Opium and Pill Wars.The World of Red Mansions is said to be fictional, but various customs and customs are also based on the conditions of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is not impossible to say that it is a parallel time and space in the same period.Therefore, in Fu Li's eyes, there shouldn't be poppies in the summer of this world.

But when Fu Li blurted out the words poppy shell, Cai Li immediately realized what she was talking about: "The boss is saying that poppy is added to the recipe of Wang's hot pot restaurant? Impossible? I have never heard of it." Poppy husks also have such effects."

Fu Li was stunned: "Do you know Poppy?"

Cai Li was a little dazed: "Of course I know. Poppy, isn't it a kind of flower? Poppy shell, should it be the shell of the fruit of poppy? Shouldn't I know the existence of this kind of thing?"

Fu Li opened her mouth, as if she didn't know what to say. After a while, she said, "Tell me in detail all the information you know about Poppy."

Although Cai Li was puzzled, he still told everything he knew about Poppy.

After Cai Li’s science popularization, Fu Li learned that the poppy, a plant that she thought was introduced into China with the opium and opium after the Opium War, had actually been introduced to China as early as the Tang Dynasty. It has been grown as an ornamental flower.

Although the planting range is quite limited, other functions have not been excavated.

There are even detailed descriptions in many Tang poems. For example, Yong Tao, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem called Xigui Chuxiegu, which mentioned poppy

"Walk through the dangerous inn and get out of Baoxie. After going through the plains, it seems to be home. The worries of thousands of miles are gone today, and the rice sac flowers are first seen in front of the horse."

The rice sac flower mentioned at the end of the verse is the poppy flower.

Later, Li Shizhen recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica: "In fact, it looks like a poppy seed, and its rice is like a poppy, but it looks like a grain, and it can be used for imperial use, so it has various names."

Poppy refers to a container with a small mouth and a big belly in ancient my country, which is very similar to the fruit of poppy, and poppy seeds are very similar to poppy, which is the ancient millet, so it was named poppy.

The medicinal and edible value of opium poppy was not discovered until the scope of opium poppy cultivation was further expanded during the Song Dynasty.

By the Ming Dynasty, opium poppy had appeared in many prescriptions and medical classics, and it had a very significant effect on treating dysentery, cough, hemorrhoids, aphrodisiac and other diseases, so its medicinal value was widely known.

Even opium and tablets were not introduced to China during the Great Xia.In the previous dynasty, it had already flowed into the court and became a medicine used by the royal family and nobles to treat dysentery.

In Fu Li's view, the former dynasty probably corresponded to the Ming Dynasty, and the Great Xia presumably corresponded to the Qing Dynasty.

That is to say, opium and tablets were actually introduced into China during the Ming Dynasty, but later because of the conspiracy of foreigners, opium and tablets, which existed only as medicines at first, became almost a disaster for China. A hundred years of drugs and drugs.

That is to say, in fact, poppies have already appeared in Daxia, and many people planted them, but before Wang Xifeng, no one had discovered the addictive properties of poppies.

Cai Li's words refreshed Fu Li's knowledge, but that's all.Even because of Cai Li's explanation, Fu Li felt a little relieved: She thought that Wang Xifeng's first reaction after using poppy shells in the hot pot recipe was actually not that Wang Xifeng was cruel and ruthless in order to make money. ...

Is it because of the butterfly wings that I traveled through, that the opium and opium invasion that may take many years to come came ahead of schedule?If the invasion of opium and pills came earlier, would the war of opium and pills also come earlier?Those who died because of the opium and opium wars, maybe they could have spent this life in peace, but they ruined their lives because of their own arrival?If this is the case, wouldn't she, a time traveler, become a sinner?So how on earth should she make up for the mistakes she made through time travel?

At that moment, Fu Li thought of a lot of questions, and even had the idea that he had become a sinner through the ages.

But after listening to Cai Li's words, Fu Li couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, even though he felt it shouldn't be.

Compared with the fact that she might bring the disaster to this world in advance, and that she might become a sinner through the ages, Wang Xifeng didn't know where she learned about the characteristics of the poppy that made Cheng Ying, and then used it utterly. However, adding poppy shells to the food made it easier for Fu Li to accept.

It's just that Cai Li didn't know about the later generations, so he only felt that Fu Li's behavior was a little strange.

Fu Li looked into Cai Li's eyes and hurriedly explained: "I didn't intend to know the existence of poppies from others before, because many literati in the Tang and Song Dynasties praised it, and even used poppy as a metaphor for their aspirations, so I always I was very curious, and even thought about planting a few poppies. But later, a doctor with good medical skills kindly reminded me that although poppies are beautiful, they are poisonous, and the opium and tablets made from them should not be taken too much, otherwise they will be easily addicted , I will never be able to do without opium and tablets in the future.”

Cai Li was stunned: "Boss, really?"

Fu Li nodded, and then sighed: "Because poppies have always been planted for ornamental purposes or used as medicine, when I first heard about the abnormality of Wang's Hot Pot Restaurant, I didn't think of poppies. But you said later that if you don't eat well Many, in fact, there will be no such customers as Wang's hot pot restaurant, so I thought of Poppy."

Cai Li's complexion changed drastically: "If what the boss said is true, wouldn't the Wang Family Hot Pot Restaurant break the law?"

What law?Because they have not experienced the opium and opium wars, the laws of this world have naturally never stated that this addictive plant is a drug, and using poppy husks is naturally not considered a crime.

Who would have thought that after discovering the addictive effect of opium poppy, someone would not want to guard against it, rot the secret into their stomachs, or directly report it to the imperial court, ordering the imperial court to order a ban on planting, instead of profiting from it?

Even those with vicious minds would at most hide their discoveries in their stomachs, and when they encounter some unsolvable enemies in the future, it would be good to use them as a trump card to deal with that person?Who would have thought that Wang Xifeng would be so "smart", and after getting the secret, he opened a big one and directly used poppies in the hot pot restaurant.

Not to mention other things, at the beginning, Wang’s Hot Pot Restaurant opened under the name of “Zhou’s Hot Pot Restaurant”, which was the same as Zhou Gong’s Hot Pot Restaurant. During the few days of promotion, the number of customers in the store was not to say that the number of customers was overwhelming, but the number of customers every day How come there are hundreds of them?

In the beginning, the food at Wangjia Hot Pot Restaurant was really cheap.

The customers of Zhou Gong Hot Pot Restaurant are originally ordinary people who are well-off. During the period when Wang Family Hot Pot Restaurant opened, the price of the food in the restaurant was several times cheaper than that of Zhou Gong Hot Pot Restaurant, so many customers were drawn into the restaurant. inside?

Although many customers did not visit the restaurant again after they found out that the food in the store was not as good as Zhougong Hotpot Restaurant, there are still many people who are greedy for cheap and choose to continue to consume at Wangjia Hotpot Restaurant, right?

There are still many ordinary people who have never been to Zhougong Hot Pot Restaurant for consumption, nor have they tasted authentic hot pot, and then saw that the prices of the two hot pot restaurants are so different. Will you only go to Wang's hotpot restaurant for consumption?

This is what Fu Li hates the most.

Obviously, the customers who would go to Wang's hot pot restaurant for consumption, even if they were not poor, were at best from well-to-do families.

If ordinary people from this kind of family become infected with drugs or addictions, for that one bite of food, they will really sell their iron, and they will be unable to do anything in the future.

This is obviously aimed at making people die!

Fu Li and Cai Li looked at each other, both of them thought of this, and their expressions were quite ugly.

Because of this, Fu Li didn't even have the appetite to try the taste of Wang's hot pot restaurant again, so she couldn't help but push it to the corner, almost seeing it as

Like a scourge.

In fact, the food in this Wang's hot pot restaurant is indeed no different from that of a scourge.

Fu Li hurriedly got up, and couldn't wait for a moment: "Cai Li, you stay in the store to watch, if you have a chance, remember to remind the customers in the store not to go to Wang's hot pot restaurant for consumption. If anyone doubts, you Poppy..."

After a pause, she frowned and shook her head, "Forget it, it's better not to mention the poppy, so as not to let some malicious people know the function of the poppy, and then use it to harm others."

"I will tell Lord Marquis about this matter, and then ask Lord Marquis to report this matter to the court. Our emperor is wise and wise. Presumably, he will notice the great harm of poppy addiction. At that time..." Fu Li sighed, "Anyway, let's wait for the emperor to come up with an explanation, and then decide whether to tell the common people about Poppy."

Cai Li also knew that this matter was of great importance, so he nodded quickly: "I understand, you should go back sooner. The sooner the emperor knows about this, the sooner he can make a decision, the more ordinary people will be harmed by Wang's hot pot restaurant. Some."

Fu Li nodded, and left the hot pot restaurant directly with two Dong Chun Dong Xia.

Fu Li originally wanted to wait for Wei Yan to come back, tell him the matter, and let him report it to the court.Unfortunately, the people under Gu Xueshi found out some clues about the matter of the four kings and eight lords. Some things were so special that Wei Yan, a man with outstanding force, had to be investigated.

As soon as Fu Li returned to Dingweihou Mansion, the housekeeper told her that Wei Yan sent someone back at noon to say that he had something to do and the return date was uncertain.

This is really...

Friedton felt a headache, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue to wait for Wei Yan to come back, and then tell him about the matter, or go directly to Jingzhao Mansion Yin's office to report the matter to the court .

But thinking of the embarrassing position of Jingzhao Fu Yin, she couldn't help but hesitate again.

It was Dong Xia who suddenly said: "Madam, why don't you go to the palace to see the empress? As Mrs. Dingweihou, who was bestowed by the emperor, you can enter the palace to ask to see the empress. I remember, the empress seems to have a good impression of you?"

Fu Li paused, and his eyes lit up immediately: "Yes, why did I forget that I can still go to the queen?"

In ancient times, people with the identity of the emperor and queen were even more noble and powerful than the status of the heads of state in modern times. Because he had met the queen who was the fourth concubine before, Fu Li didn't have any respect for the emperor and queen. However, because of the thoughts of little people in her previous life, she never thought of going directly to the palace to find the emperor and queen when she encountered problems.

In modern times, she is a kitchen assistant in a small private restaurant. The closest distance to the heads of state is to see them in the news. How can she think that she can go to them directly when encountering problems?

However, after Dongxia's reminder, Fu Li did not hesitate. He changed his clothes and prepared to get in the carriage and go to the palace to meet the queen.

Just as he got into the carriage, Fu Li stopped suddenly.

Dongxia looked at Fu Li suspiciously: "Madam, did you forget to bring something?"

Fu Li shook his head, turned his head to look at Dongxia, then looked at Dongchun next to her, paused, and said: "Dongchun, you should be more secure in your affairs, now go to Wang's hotpot restaurant to buy me a pot of hotpot ...If there are hot pot base ingredients in the Wang Family Hot Pot Restaurant, you should buy the base ingredients directly, if not, you can put some hot pot soup base in a small cup, and I will bring it into the palace."

If there is no evidence, even if she speaks eloquently, it is still nothing to prove, and if she has not seen the state after eating the poppies, how can the queen really take what she said to heart and wait for it?

In the past, she didn't want the opium and opium war, but since Wang Xifeng reminded her of adding poppy husks to the food, why didn't she think of a way to prevent the emergence of this war in advance?

Fu Li has no great ideals, but as a Chinese, when conditions permit, she certainly hopes to save her motherland from that catastrophe.

Dongchun's temperament is a bit rigid, and she is not as flexible as Dongxia, but she also has an advantage, that is, she is ready for Fu Li's orders, and she will never slack off in the slightest.

So not long after, Dongchun filled several cups of hot pot soup base in a small cup.

Fu Li opened it and smelled it, and confirmed that it was the same as what he smelled in the hot pot restaurant before. It was only two winters, springs, winters and summers that he carried the food box and entered the palace together.

The queen had a very good impression of Fu Li, and when she heard that Fu Li had entered the palace, she was immediately invited into the palace.

Not long after, the palace servants came to reply, saying that Mrs. Dingweihou not only came in by herself, but also brought a food box, which contained a lot of hot pot soup base, which was already cold, and there was condensation on it. A layer of butter, looks a little disgusting.

The Queen couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

But after thinking about it, it was rare for Fu Li to enter the palace, and he brought food abnormally, so the food must have other uses, and it was definitely not just food.

Thinking of this, the queen still ordered and agreed to Fu Li to bring those things into the palace.

About a stick of incense, Fu Li and two servant girls came to Fengyi Palace where the queen lived.

Fu Li was about to salute the queen, so he asked the maid beside her to support her and did not make her kneel down: "Mrs. Dingweihou is a busy person. Since the last farewell, I have been waiting for you to come see you I, who knows, a year has passed, and Mrs. Ding Weihou has not delivered a greeting card to the palace. This palace misses me very much."

Fu Li paused, hesitating and did not kneel down again.

The queen smiled, and raised her hand to let her sit next to her: "Mrs. Dingweihou has always been in the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. Tell me, why did you enter the palace today? But if you encounter any troubles, you need my help. ?”

Because Fu Li brought some hot pot soup base, the queen subconsciously thought that there was some trouble in Fu Li's hot pot restaurant that she couldn't solve.

Unexpectedly, Fu Li shook his head: "Queen, my wife didn't encounter any trouble. However, when I entered the palace today, my wife did have something important to report to the queen, so I asked the queen to invite an imperial physician. If possible, please invite the imperial physician." Take the opium in the palace, as well as all the poppies and fruits."

The queen was stunned: "Imperial physician? Poppies?"

Fu Li nodded: "Yes, what I want to report today is related to poppies, and I still need the help of the imperial physician."

The queen's eyes fell on the food boxes carried by the two maids behind Fu Li, and she frowned, as if she couldn't figure it out.However, she still raised her hand and asked her personal lady-in-waiting to go to the imperial hospital to invite an imperial physician.

The author has something to say: there is another update, it will be very late, everyone can’t wait for tomorrow
