Tao Bao's Ancient Happy Life

Tao Bao was detained in the Kunning Palace by the empress to help take care of the maids. In fact, this will be a problem that Tao Bao will face in the future, but obviously he has no interest in this, just look at it It was a little drowsy, but I held on.

Empress Li was amused when she saw Tao Bao like that, but she still signaled to the maid next to her to find a cloak for someone to put on, Tao Bao smiled gratefully after seeing it, "Thank you, mother".

"You child is still polite to mother. If you are tired, go back and rest. Anyway, it is almost the same. From now on, mother will not care about these things, and I will leave them to you."

"Okay, mother, you should also go to bed early, don't be too tired, just let the servants do anything, I will go back first, and I, Muxiu, will come to see you in a few days."

Queen Li nodded: "Go."

Tao Bao bid farewell to Empress Li and turned to leave. He just nodded to the remaining two empresses, then turned and left. He didn't like these two women very much. In his mind, but compared to Concubine Guo's matter, it was nothing. Since the emperor turned a blind eye, he didn't say anything more.

When he got out of the Kunning Palace, he glanced back and saw the eldest princess looking at him with hatred, Tao Bao sneered, and said in his heart: "Little girl, you still fight with me, it seems that you are still a little tender." , look, your good days are coming to an end, can you keep a low profile?Do you really think of yourself as a princess?Is it still two words?

But he still turned around and left, and all this was clearly seen by Empress Li above, Empress Li sneered in her heart, this girl is really desperate!Really followed his mother, after all, she came from a small family, so without winking, did you think his mother could come out of the cold palace?joke.

On the way back to the East Palace, Tao Bao was sitting in the sedan chair, looking at the sky and birds flying outside from the window of the sedan chair, he smiled, the habit is really terrible, he would get used to the life in this palace, he suddenly He really wanted to go for a walk, so he did it when he thought of it, so he said to Yunjuan outside the sedan chair: "Get the car ready, go to Taojiazhuang."

Upon hearing this, Brother Yunjuan and the others immediately went down to prepare, the carriage arrived soon, Tao Bao got into the carriage, called someone to inform Huo Jianhui before leaving the palace, and then left with the four brothers.

Four people plus Tao Bao made a total of five people, and a car with three horses left the palace smoothly. Tao Bao looked at the time and just after lunch time, he said to Yun Juan who was driving the car: "Go to our restaurant, we Take a bite there and go."

"Okay, young master, sit down. If you are tired, take a break and I will call you when you arrive."

Tao Bao said "Mmm", then closed his eyes, and rested for a while. After a while, the carriage stopped. Yun Shu opened the door of the carriage and said, "Master, the restaurant is here."

Tao Bao nodded, tidied up his clothes, and then got out of the car. Yunjuan and Yunshu came to help and smoothed out the wrinkles on Tao Bao's clothes, and then led Tao Bao into his family's Fuyun Restaurant .

After entering the restaurant, the shopkeeper saw that their young master had arrived, so he hurriedly greeted people upstairs, picked the best private room and invited Tao Bao to sit in, Tao Bao was not polite, and said with a smile: "Uncle Tao, Don't be too busy, just get us something to eat, we are not picky eaters, just keep a low profile."

Tao Yi is a family servant who grew up with Tao Bao's father, Tao Ruilin. Because he was old and had a problem with his legs, Tao Ruilin sent him here for the elderly. By the way, he helped manage the Tao family's business. It was not closed, but at that time Tao Bao escaped from the capital in a hurry and did not have time to say goodbye to this Tao Yi. When they remembered it, Tao’s shop disappeared overnight, and they lost contact all of a sudden. , It was not until Tao Ruilin returned to the capital that he surfaced again.

Tao Yi liked Tao Bao very much since he was a child. It can be said that he grew up watching Tao Bao. When he saw Tao Bao coming, he naturally picked out the signature dishes in the shop and served them with four cold and four hot dishes. Tao Bao and the others did not drink. After eating, I left, and I didn't forget to bring a copy of the shop's signature dish to Tao Erye's family in Taojiazhuang.

Before getting into the carriage, he saw six people waiting on horseback behind the carriage. Seeing their attire, Tao Bao knew that they were the brothers of Beizhen Fusi. Tao Bao thought helplessly that Huo Jianhui was making too much of a fuss, didn't he just go to Taojiazhuang, did he need to send six hundred households to guard him?However, shopkeeper Tao was still asked to prepare 20 Roujiamos, a bag of hot water for each person, and [-] salted duck eggs for the six people who hadn't eaten.

The brothers saw how loyal their command was, and said with a smile: "It's better to follow the command. Your Highness is really blessed to be able to eat hot food." That means Tao Bao is really considerate, and Huo Jianhui is really lucky to marry such a Good daughter-in-law.

Tao Bao was annoyed: "There is something to eat, but you can't stop your mouths. Hurry up and eat, we can leave after eating, or it will be cold in a while, hurry up and eat, it's cold outside." After finishing speaking He also turned around and walked into the restaurant, found an empty seat and sat down.

When those people saw them, they got off their horses without politeness, went into the store and found a seat next to Tao Bao, and Tao Yi hurriedly brought some dishes and a bowl of soup to the big guy, and the few people were not polite, and the wind swept away After a while, Tao Bao saw how fast they were eating and couldn't help but said, "Why are you so hungry? The kitchen deducted your food?"

Several soldiers shook their heads and said: "No, I just went out to perform a mission, and I haven't eaten yet. Master Xie Bao is concerned."

Tao Bao nodded. These soldiers are no different from the modern "special forces". It seems that the mission they are required to perform is also a big case, but he didn't say it. After the soldiers had enough food and drink, he took the lead and walked out , it's getting late, he wants to go to Taojiazhuang to see the greenhouse that was built some time ago, and he doesn't know if there are any vegetables growing?

The carriage left the capital smoothly, and Taojiazhuang was only a few miles away, and arrived in a short while. Once the car entered Taojiazhuang, Tao Bao looked out the window, and what surprised him was the vegetable garden in almost every yard. Greenhouses are set up in the garden, but even the greenhouses built according to the size of the vegetable garden are also large and small.

Tao Bao was very satisfied with the scale of the elementary school. At least this scale was enough, which showed that the villagers were still very economical. After Tao Bao came down, he greeted him with a smile: "Tao Bao, are you here?"

Tao Bao had a good impression of the old man, so he smiled and said, "Second Master, hello."

"You child and I are still polite, hurry up and talk in the house." After speaking, he opened the gate of the yard and let Yunjuan drive the carriage into the yard.

Tao Bao liked this kind of old man very much, he didn't think of him as the poor man who was in trouble in Taojiazhuang because of his popularity, Tao Bao also heaved a sigh of relief, and ordered Yun Shu to give Tao the carriage Take the things from the second master’s house. There is a lot of food in a big food box. Just now Tao Bao took a look at it. Tao Yi didn’t put any dishes in it, but just packed some food that the villagers usually don’t eat much. Meat, a large box of homemade cakes and two jars of liquor, was more thoughtful than Tao Bao thought, and even brought a bag of sugar for the child.

It made the Tao family feel at ease, otherwise it would be bad if the Tao family said that they came back to show off. . . . . .

Tao Bao followed Tao Erye into the main house. After sitting down, Tao Erye’s wife, Grandma Tao, made Tao Bao a bowl of sugar water. It's even more expensive than tea. They don't grow beets here, and the white sugar is squeezed out of sugar cane by the border people in the south.

Tao Bao thought for a while and asked, "Second Master, why don't we grow beets here? The roots of those things can be used to make sugar."

"What? Is this true? But isn't the leaf edible? We used the root to feed livestock and pigs? However, during the disaster, people also ate it, but it was not very tasty, but it was somewhat sweet. That's all."

"What? Are you kidding me? By the way, how do you know that beets can eat leaves?" Tao Bao was puzzled that this thing came here from Europe. People here seem to have known this for a long time. The thing should have been passed on for a long time, but he didn't know why he didn't know how to use beets to make sugar, but he didn't point it out.

Tao Erye laughed when he heard this: "Your child doesn't grow vegetables at first glance, and the seeds of those things are sold in grocery stores. In the past, these were bought by Bai Liu. Of course you don't know, but you are How do you know beetroot can squeeze sugar?"

Tao Bao thought for a while: "I read it from a Western book. If you don't believe me, how about we try it today and see if we can make sugar?"

Tao Erye stroked his two beards: "Okay, let's try." After finishing speaking, he asked Tao Da's daughter-in-law, Xiao Huzi, to take a few beetroots and wash them clean.

Tao Da's daughter-in-law, Wang Shi, is a straightforward person. As soon as Tao Erye asked her to do it, although beetroot used to be fed to pigs, since Tao Bao said that he could squeeze out sugar, he would definitely be able to. As for the scholar, the scholar knows a lot, and after washing the beetroot very deftly, he listened to Tao Bao's instructions.

In fact, Tao Bao’s artisanal sugar was also in modern times. At that time, his family was in the countryside, and Grandma Tao made sugar by hand and then sold it for money. People in the village came to their house to buy it because it was cheap. At that time, Tao Bao often went to his grandma. At home, he was gradually able to help his grandma as a layman or something. Later, after his grandma passed away, no one in their family made sugar by hand anymore. Today, I came up with it on a whim.

Tao Bao taught her step by step. He wanted Mrs. Wang to cut the beets into small cubes, and put them in their small mill to make beet pulp like soy milk. The fire evaporates until the water dries and then crystallizes, and then waits until he finishes dividing the honey, and the next step is drying. In order for him to dry it earlier, Tao Bao simply took him outside and dried it in the sun. He was not in a hurry, but took advantage of this time to go to the greenhouse of Tao Erye's house.

As soon as he saw the warm shed, he realized that they used tarpaulin instead of plastic to cover the greenhouse. The cabbage inside had grown very tall, and there were garlic sprouts. He knew the rest and cucumber sprouts. He nodded: "That's right." , Er Ye, your greenhouse is really good, as long as you work hard, you can make money."

Tao Erye said with a smile: "It's all thanks to your Tao family, and it's your family's blessing."

Tao Bao smiled: "How can it be, Er Ye, you have a good mind. Once you order it, you will understand it. You are smart, unlike some people who are too troublesome. In the future, as long as the dishes are cooked, you will send them to you." Just go to the Fuyun restaurant of our Tao family. Money is not a problem as much as you want.

Also, this method of making sugar is a bit too crude. I'll think about it when I go back. Can you call people in the village who have land to grow beets? In autumn, our Tao family will harvest them all. How much do you want? How much, and when the sugar factory is built, we will recruit people from our village to work in the factory, so that they don’t need cats in winter, and the warm shed at home is watched by wives and old people. In this way, there will be more income. With more income, the family will live better. Do you think this is the reason?The most important thing is that in the next spring, when there are no beets in the sugar factory, they will have a holiday, so that the big guys can come back to scout the land again, and they can go to work in the factory after harvesting the beets in autumn. "

Tao Erye nodded after hearing this: "Okay, don't worry, I will take this matter as my own business."

Tao Bao nodded and went out of the warm shed. He saw that the sugar he had boiled just now, dipped some of it with his fingers. Although it was not dry yet, it was still very sweet. He smiled and distributed the things in his hands to the few present Personally, the big guy thought it was not bad, so he nodded. Tao Bao found a piece of paper and carefully wrapped the remaining powdered sugar, put it in the car, and prepared to take it away when he returned to the palace.

Turning around, he saw the big guy looking at him, and then he smiled: "I, it's useful for me to take this back. Second Master, if you want to eat it, you can cook it yourself. Anyway, you still have a lot of this beetroot at home. It's right for a while." Give me a few beetroots and I'll be of use."

Tao Erye understood that he was going back to tell the prince about this matter, but he didn't say anything, so he nodded and asked Tao Dabang to pack a basket of beets, anyway, that thing is useless, and it is usually used to feed pigs.

Tao Bao went back to his yard while he was free. Although he hadn't been back for a long time, the yard and the house had been repaired. After all, it was the ancestral property of their Tao family, so it couldn't be left unused. You don't need to think about it to know that this is his father. Let Bai Liu do it. After walking around the front and back yards, he nodded, not bad, then went out of the yard, and locked the door carefully. This is the first residence he has just arrived in this world, so he still has some feelings.

Then he turned around and looked at the sun. Seeing that it was getting late, he bid farewell to the Tao family, got in the car and went back to the capital. After all, the capital has access control. After the sun sets, the gates of the capital will be closed. No one is allowed to enter or leave the capital.

The carriage was fast, but in order to take care of Tao Bao, after all, he was for a pregnant woman, so he didn't run so fast. When he approached the city gate, he saw the commotion at the city gate, people turning their backs, Yun Juan restrained the carriage, and then faced Tao Bao in the car said, "Master, there seems to be something wrong at the gate of the city?"

As soon as Tao Bao heard it, he immediately took out the gun he was carrying with him. It was a sniper rifle he had just acquired and hadn’t used yet, and it was the first sniper rifle with a scope installed before Ding Qian. He opened the car door and got out. As expected, messy things were thrown on the roads on both sides of the city gate, and the common people had long since disappeared, and some boldly leaned against the city wall to watch the excitement.

After a while, I saw a carriage rushing out from the gate of the city. The carriage consisted of two big black horses. The driver on the carriage shouted loudly, "Dodge, dodge."

Others don't know, but Tao Bao and the others do. It's their Beizhen Fusi's carriage, and there is Beizhen Fusi's mark on it.Behind the carriage followed a group of brothers from Beizhen Fusi, who followed on fast horses, and seemed to keep up, but they didn't dare to overtake, and shouted: "Let go of the alley" or something?

As soon as Tao Bao heard it, he knew that Hu Cheng had been kidnapped. Could it be that these people were prisoners from Zhao Prison who bombed the prison?Thinking of this, he immediately shouted to the person in the carriage: "Stop."

The carriage that was running around was frightened by Tao Bao's yell, and the driver trembled, and habitually pulled the horse's rein and said "Woo." When he realized it, it was too late, and the two horses came together. He raised his front hooves and let out a cry, then stopped. The people in the carriage probably didn't sit still and moved forward for a while, but fell out of the carriage, and then saw Hu Cheng with his hands tied. He was holding on, but his body pressed tightly against a person and shouted: "Hurry up and grab the people in the car, don't let them run away."

At the same time, two shots of "Papa" were heard, and the two horses were seriously injured and fell to the ground immediately, but they were hit on the legs instead of anywhere else. People were wailing, it seemed that there were still people and women inside, and the brothers from Beizhen Fusi rushed over quickly at this time, and the big guys held people down in a hurry, and waited until they were all caught Afterwards, Tao Bao was happy to see these people. None of the people he hated the most had run away. Looking at Zhenqi, it turned out that it was none other than all the people who were involved in the corruption case in the H River. Mrs. Wang, the right minister's successor, is also listed.

Tao Bao didn't understand: "How did these people get together?"

At this time, Hu Cheng was also untied from the rope, kicked Wu Wenyong twice angrily, and spit twice. Tao Bao saw him stare at him like that, it's over, now they are Beizhen Fusi He was completely humiliated, and those officials should have said something, and he was also angry immediately, put away the gun in his hand, put it in the car, and then walked over and said, "What's going on?"

Hu Cheng rubbed his shoulders while talking about what happened, and Tao Bao said after hearing this: "It's really weird!"
