Datang Institute of Technology

Watching a group of people actually interested in tap water.

Xu Changsheng could only simply explain, "Since ancient times, everyone has known that water flows downhill. This is common sense, but it is not difficult to break this law with good science. knowledge……"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, is it not difficult to break the common sense that water flows downhill?

What else is atmospheric pressure?

This knowledge called science is indeed something that cannot be underestimated.

Xu Changsheng's mouth was dry when he spoke, but a group of people didn't even understand the most basic, how could they understand.

The new terms one by one made them even more confused.

Xu Changsheng looked at the confusion on the faces of a group of people, and sighed, “Scholar meets Bing, it’s hard to explain why, let’s popularize science slowly in the future, and one day, they will suddenly realize, “Anyway, the principle of running water is like this. "

At this time, a group of little princes and princesses ran over, "Father, father, the children of the Xu family don't let us play in the water, they play by themselves."

"Chang Changsheng, they poured water everywhere, but it's broken." The children of Xu's family also ran over, hum, they would also sue.

Li Shimin's face turned black, "Nonsense, where is your etiquette?"

After a while, his well-behaved son and daughter have a tendency to develop into monkeys.

A group of little princes and princesses behaved well, because as the sons and daughters of the emperor, they had to behave more in order to avoid falling into the trap.

Empress Changsun couldn't bear it, and said, "It's rare to come out, let them play happily for a day, but it's wrong to waste water."

A group of children from the Xu family raised their heads high, and they said that water should not be wasted. Even if the water came by itself, there was no need to lift it, but it should not be wasted.

Xu Changsheng smiled, and said to the children of the Xu family, "The visitors are just guests, teach them to water the flowers."

It's not just playing with water, they can play as much as they want, and they just happen to be free child labor for him.

The eyes of a group of little princes and princesses lit up, looking at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin nodded.

"Water the flowers." But the little princes and princesses were very happy.

Li Shimin couldn't help being stunned, how could these sons and daughters be so diligent at ordinary times, no matter how much they watered flowers today, they would be so happy. He is sure that as long as they return to the palace, if they are asked to water the flowers and plants in the Imperial Garden, their mouths will probably turn up. You have to hang the oil bottle.

The happiness of children is indeed difficult for adults to understand.

Only then did the children of the Xu family hand over the bucket to these crazy little princes and princesses, and there was a voice of criticism from a distance, "Oh my god, water too much, you will drown my fairy grass. "

They love their flowers so much that they don't usually let them touch them.

Xu Changsheng led Li Shimin and some others to move on.

The scenery along the way, the floating water splash, I don't know how many people's eyes are confused.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty have opened their eyes today. This Xujia Village is actually such a place.

However, they immediately knew that this was just the beginning, and what they saw now was only the tip of the iceberg.

After walking for a while, rows of red brick townhouses appeared in front of us.

These small buildings are designed according to townhouses, very delicate.

"This is..." Li Shimin pretended to be expressionless and asked, but he was already surprised in his heart. Is this a house?

Small pieces of red brick walls are patchwork, revealing a different kind of beauty, and the uniform small balcony looks very interesting, and you can see that there seem to be stools and small tables on the small balcony. People from the Xu family Sitting there every day to rest and blow the air?

Leisurely, the people of the Xu family really know how to live.

Xu Changsheng replied, "Exactly. The five hundred houses in my Xujia Village are all here, and the small red brick buildings are all two-story."

Is it a small red brick building?

Li Shimin nodded, seemed to be particularly interested, and said, "Everyone, how about going to see the residences of the people in Xujia Village with me?"

A group of people were already in high spirits, just waiting for Li Shimin's words, after all, they felt that they lacked a sense of reality when looking at it from a distance. They couldn't wait to see such a beautiful small building.

Xu Changsheng smiled, there was no such arrangement at first, and he thought that if they were interested, they would go and see for themselves, but now that His Majesty of Datang has said so, how could he refuse.

Lead a group of people to the townhouse.

The first thing that catches your eyes is the road paved with red bricks. This is a pedestrian street designed by Xu Changsheng, which is specially for leisure.

Coming down from the white jade-like concrete road just now, everyone immediately felt the difference.

The flat white road just now gave people an unimpeded feeling, and a feeling of wanting to fly on it.

But the current red brick road made them slow down automatically, just wanting to walk on it so slowly and watch the surrounding streets while walking.

"This street is too clean." Someone exclaimed.

"Yeah, and a little too fancy."

"Let me walk here for a day and I won't feel tired."

The streets are of course clean. People in Xujia Village came from poverty after living in thatched cottages, so they cherish everything they have now. Whoever dares to destroy this clean and beautiful environment, they will do their best.

At intervals, there is a plum tree. Under the tree is a platform built of bricks and covered with cement, which is used for people to sit and rest.

Many people have already begun to try to sit down.

"It's not bad to sit here and read a book."

Immediately, a picture of plum blossoms falling and scholars sitting here leisurely reading a book appeared in my mind.

What a great place.

On both sides of the street, long benches fixed to the ground were placed at intervals.

A group of people sit here and there, it is very interesting.

Xu Changsheng smiled. The pedestrian street he designed is more like a pedestrian street in a university. It is much cleaner and more peaceful than a commercial street. It is most suitable for scholars to read books, the elderly to play chess, or to bring their children and grandchildren here. sit around.

Li Shimin couldn't help feeling, "It's really a relaxing place."

Especially a group of doctors from the Imperial College, some with books, took out the books in a daze, then sat under the tree, put on a pose, and an ancient rhyme came oncoming.

The group of doctors discussed in low voices, "This place is a good place to read, it's like a poem and a picture."

"Yes, there is nothing more elegant than this. I was very sorry that Xu Wenyuan was forced to leave Chang'an. Now it seems that I should be envious. Those family members who teach him here every day, how comfortable they are."

A street, sitting, looking around, chatting, it really feels like a pedestrian street, and if you accidentally get dirty, you can wash it at the faucet next to it, not to mention how leisurely it is.

Li Shimin walked forward slowly, and after a while, he asked again, "Just looking at these small buildings from the outside, don't know what's going on inside?"

The great grandfather replied, "Please come and have a look at my humble house."

A group of people followed and walked towards the house of the great grandfather.

The house is that big and there are too many people, so it is conceivable that we have to queue up.

Many members of the Xu family have already begun to introduce the layout of the house, "The downstairs is the living room, the kitchen... the upstairs is the bedroom, the study, the cloakroom, the bathroom..."

They are all too familiar with it.

A group of people froze for a while, divided in such detail, and lived their lives in such a fine manner.

Nice little room, maybe not big, but it's expensive.

The key is that it is windproof, waterproof and fireproof, and has a long service life. These aspects are definitely not comparable to the mainstream wooden houses of Datang, and it is also strong enough.

A group of people listened to the introduction and probably knew the benefits.

Xu Changsheng and his grandfather took Li Shimin's family to visit, and he found that he was about to become a salesman.

Coming to the balcony, the great grandfather stroked his beard in satisfaction, "I like to make a pot of tea here on weekdays, and watch the younger generations in the clan bustling about."

Although this sentence is plain, many people are envious of it, and the joy of a family relationship is nothing more than that.

Standing on the balcony, the view is much farther away. Looking at the red brick street is even more special. Looking at the white jade road surrounded by flowers, which stretches into the distance like a long dragon, is even more shocking.

After watching the small building, a group of people couldn't help but look back when they got out of the building, and looked at the tap water in front of every house, it was really convenient.

People's livelihood is so enviable.

Even Li Shimin said with emotion, "If every village in the ten ways of the Tang Dynasty can be like Xujia Village, my heart is enough."

A group of ministers looked at each other, His Majesty's heart is really big, if they are all like Xujia Village, what a prosperous age, His Majesty will be the most enlightened emperor in the ages.

Of course, it is good to have this wish.

Xu Changsheng also smiled, not to mention the construction of Xujia Village, just the water supply system, the money used to buy the pipes is a lot of money, and thanks to Xujia Village's recent income, it can be paid for.

As for other villages, it may not be easy to spend so much money.

Xu Changsheng looked at the sky, because the road from Chang'an to Xujia Village is not too short. He visited the whole way just now, and it took a lot of time to visit the small building. Now the sun has set a little west, which is the hottest day time.

His original plan was to take these people directly to the square to give his propaganda speech, but now he had to let these people have a meal and rest, just to avoid the most vicious sun.

Xu Changsheng said to His Majesty Li Er, "Your Majesty, Xu Family Village happens to be slaughtering pigs today, would you like to go and have a look?"

Everyone looked at each other, killing a pig?

Li Shimin also had a strange expression, asking them to go to the slaughter of pigs?

Fortunately, Xu Jiazi was able to make such requests.

Someone laughed and said, "Xu Jiazi, I heard you like to watch pig slaughtering?"

Xu Changsheng was taken aback, "How do you say that?"

The man laughed, "I'm afraid Xu Jiazi forgot, you once said in the street on Chang'an Avenue, "What kind of book is better than reading a pig. "Now, you invited His Majesty and I to watch the slaughter of pigs. Don't you love to watch the slaughter of pigs?"

amount……

Xu Changsheng was embarrassed.

"Hmph." At this moment, a cold snort came, "Now you know the truth that deeds must be respectful?"

Xu Changsheng saw that it wasn't Yan Wenshu who the little old man was.

Old man Yan is right, look, what he said as a joke was actually remembered by others, and it is not very important to use it against him. Crap.

He quickly bowed to Yan Wenshu, "Students remember the teacher's teachings."

However, the butcher still had to watch, so he looked at Li Shimin eagerly.

Li Shimin smiled, "Aren't you free today? Let's go with me to see, what is the difference between the butchering of pigs that my great Tang talent, Xu Jiazi, loves to watch, and what we usually see."

Xu Changsheng was so embarrassed that he died, but he couldn't refute, so he had to take the lead, "Please follow me."

Made a crowd laugh.

Alas, this joke is probably going to follow him for the rest of his life, so it really took off his head.

The place where the pigs were slaughtered was not far away, and a group of people headed for it in a mighty manner.

The clan uncle in Xujia Village had already boiled the water, but they were surprised that so many people would come.

Xu Changsheng hurriedly said, "Uncles, you kill your pigs, we'll take a look and leave."

A group of clan uncles had weird expressions, and Changsheng pulled His Majesty and all the officials to watch them kill pigs. This is probably an interesting story through the ages.

The great grandfather also said aside, "If you don't go and get the pig out, don't waste everyone's time."

A group of clan uncles continued to get busy.

"Xu Jiazi, you seem to have said at the beginning that you want to explain to everyone why you want to castrate a hundred piglets. Is it because of this today?" someone asked.

Xu Changsheng hurriedly replied, "That's why I came here. Changsheng said at the beginning that Changsheng castrated a hundred piglets out of scientific considerations, and it was not a joke. Let everyone come to see me kill pigs in Xujia Village today. In fact, it is also from Changsheng." A little selfishness will prove Changsheng's innocence."

Everyone talked a lot, "What knowledge can there be if a piglet is castrated?"

"I really can't figure out the reason, let's see what Xu Jiazi explained. As a scholar, doing this is really humiliating."

The face of Yan Wenshu next to him turned dark, the matter was obviously over, and now the old matter is brought up again.

At this time, a group of children from the Xu family who had finished watering the flowers and the group of little princes and princesses also ran over, and there was a huge group of people chattering.

Brother Changbai and Li Tai walked in the front.

Brother Changbai has been in Amway all the time, "I tell you, butchering a pig is really fun. I used to go to see it with Changsheng when we were in Chang'an."

Xu Changsheng: "..."

A group of children approached and saw that a group of adults were there, Brother Changbai hurriedly patted his chest, "Look, I'm not lying, even adults like to watch pig slaughter."

A group of adults: "..."

Xu Changsheng just wanted to cover his forehead.

At this time, a child uttered a cheerful cry, "The pig is coming, the pig is coming."

The uncle of the Xu family has already led the pig out.

The people who were still discussing suddenly stopped, staring blankly at the fat pigs with big ears that were pulled out.

Xu Changsheng smiled, "My lords, can you see the difference between the pigs raised in my Xu Family Village?"

Someone was still in a daze, "Are these the piglets you castrated back then? They have grown so big now? It weighs two or three hundred catties."

Xu Changsheng replied, "Changsheng is not very sure whether it is the one hundred piglets, but they must have been bought at that time, and they were all raised after castration."

"As for how heavy it is..." Xu Changsheng looked at his uncle.

The uncle of the family said loudly, "The heaviest of these pigs is 250 catties, and the lightest is just [-] catties."

Only their Xujia Village can raise pigs so fat.

The sound just fell, and a group of people were in an uproar.

"Is this still a pig? Why is it so fat?"

"Yeah, I have seen those before, but I have never seen such a heavy one."

"It's said that raising pigs costs food, and they won't grow up, but if they can grow so big, wouldn't it be very cost-effective?"

Xu Changsheng thought to himself, in fact, this pig can still grow if it continues to be raised, it is only because everyone gathered in Xujia Village today that he asked people to kill some.

Xu Changsheng said, "That's why I had to castrate the piglets and raise them again. Do you think Changsheng was still messing around?"

"So these pigs are so fat because of castration?"

Xu Changsheng replied: "Yes, there is a scientific principle. Pigs don't grow up mostly because they are too energetic. Once they are castrated, they will only know how to eat and sleep, so of course they can grow fat and healthy." big."

In fact, the root cause is that after castration, the pig's body will reduce the secretion of a hormone. If this hormone is reduced, the pig will become lazy and only know how to eat and drink.

Of course, such an explanation is too complicated, so he can only explain it briefly.

The facts were in front of them, and they couldn't help but believe it.

Xu Changsheng continued, "What do you guys think? If this simple method is promoted in Datang, can the price of meat in Datang be lowered?"

Datang's meat is so expensive that many families can't afford one meal all year round.

Everyone was shocked, especially the imperial court officials. If pigs could be raised so fat, there might be a trend of raising pigs in the Tang Dynasty, and more people would be able to eat meat by then.

Xu Changsheng continued, "Now, do you adults still think that Changsheng is messing around?"

Everyone sighed, this is for the world first.

He couldn't help saying, "If someone eats meat because of this method, I'm afraid they should also thank Xu Jiazi."

Xu Changsheng blushed, "My lord is joking, if you want to thank you, thank this scientific method. Learning science well is good for Datang."

Don't forget to promote his science.

Li Shimin's eyes also lit up, this time he came here to see something strange, but he didn't expect to have such a reward.

Xu Changsheng was afraid that these people didn't pay enough attention to it, so he continued, "The main meat we eat in Tang Dynasty now is mutton, beef, and pork. Cattle are labor, and they are mostly used for farming. They are not allowed to be slaughtered indiscriminately. But sheep, the land of Datang is not Especially suitable for grazing, pigs used to eat a lot but didn’t grow big, and the taste was not good, so not many people raised them, which led to high meat prices.”

"However, if the new method is used to raise pigs, the above situation can actually be solved. The environment of Datang is very suitable for raising pigs."

Of course Li Shimin can think of this, so he said that this may greatly improve people's livelihood.

If things go on like this, it may be possible to change the meat-eating habits of the Tang Dynasty, from mainly eating mutton to mainly eating pork.

This may be the inevitability of history.

The uncle of the Xu family has already started killing pigs.

Brother Changbai was overjoyed, and introduced Li Tai and the princes from the sidelines.

It is also thanks to the strong folk customs of Datang, otherwise it is estimated that children will be scared.

Seeing the fat pigs being pulled out, Li Shimin asked, "How many fat pigs like this do you have in Xujia Village? You can eat meat for a while."

Xu Changsheng smiled, "Your Majesty, the pigs raised by our Xu family are just ahead, Your Majesty can take a look."

It's only a few steps away, so it doesn't take much time.

Li Shimin nodded.

Others also want to see if all pigs grow this big, or if it's just an exception.

A group of people started walking to the side.

It was a hillside, and I was surprised when I got close, "This is too much."

A hillside full of pigs.

And they are all fat.

It seems that Xu Jiazi's method is indeed feasible.

Seeing so many pigs, Li Shimin was imagining that if his people also raised pigs, not to mention raising so many, one pig for a family would be enough to feed them for a year.

Someone laughed and said, "Xu family, you Xu family raises such pigs, aren't you afraid of losing money?"

Xu Changsheng was taken aback, "Why?"

His pigs are big and fat, how could he lose money?

"Don't forget that the pork smells bad. Not many people in Chang'an City are willing to buy it. You have too many pigs, so you can only sell them in other villages. Selling them in the villages will definitely not fetch a high price."

Xu Changsheng smiled and replied, "If pork is no longer fishy, ​​and the price is much cheaper than mutton, no one will buy it yet? People in Chang'an City are indeed rich, and they eat mutton, but not often, right? Wouldn't it be nice to eat pork that doesn't smell fishy every now and then."

As soon as the words fell, everyone around was taken aback, isn't pork smelly?Did Xu Jiazi say that just now?

"Xu Jiazi, it is well known that pork smells bad."

Xu Changsheng pointed to the pig on the hillside and replied, "In the past, no matter how fed the pig was, it was well known that the pig would not grow up, but how is it now?"

"This..." Everyone looked at the big and fat pig on the mountain and stopped talking.

It seems that what was recognized before can be overthrown in front of Xu Jiazi.

Xu Changsheng looked at the sky, "As for whether the pork in my Xujia Village is fishy or not, don't you know if you try it?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Shimin, "I don't know Your Majesty, but dare to try my Xu family's pork, so that the freshness is guaranteed."

Li Shimin laughed, "Why don't you dare? If what you said is true, the pigs raised in the new method are not only fat but also fishy, ​​then you have done a great deed for the Tang Dynasty, and I will be the first to taste the taste of this pork for the world. , why not?"

What he said was true. If it was true what Xu Jiazi said, he would definitely promote the method of raising pigs. Datang is not suitable for grazing, but raising pigs in captivity is very feasible.

This is a long-term road to find a meat source for Datang.

Xu Changsheng smiled. Now these people must be hungry after traveling all the way. He waved his little hand, "In my Xujia Village, there is a commercial street full of food shops. You may as well follow me there."

For today, he taught Xu's aunts and uncles how to cook pork.

The mighty crowd began to go to the commercial street again.

The pigs killed by the clan uncle were also transported to the commercial street.

The so-called commercial street is actually similar to the pedestrian street just now, except that all the first floors of the houses on both sides of the street have been converted into shops.

Xu Changsheng bowed his hands to the mighty crowd, "Everyone, there are food shops on the first floor on both sides of this place. You can go in to eat and rest after walking for so long. Ice cubes are placed in the food shops, which are very cool. Wait for your meal." After the meal, my education will officially begin."

The weather was indeed a bit hot, and a group of people started to walk to the shop on the first floor in a mighty manner. They had to sit down and cool off first.

Xu Changsheng definitely wanted to accompany Li Shimin and his family.

Go straight to the next first floor, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

As soon as I entered, there was a gust of cold wind blowing, which was very comfortable in this hot weather.

Ice is not uncommon now, so everyone didn't find it strange.

However, the price list on the wall has attracted people's attention, with a list of dishes that have not been heard of.

"Your Xu family is still the same as before, and the price is clearly marked."

Xu Changsheng replied, "This not only saves you the trouble of negotiating prices, but also avoids the possibility of being cheated. The bad reputation of businessmen is not just because there are many opportunists."

Li Shimin nodded. This is exactly the reason. If all merchants set prices clearly like this, how could there be an insatiable situation of one product with two prices.

After looking at it for a while, he said, "It's just that you haven't seen the dishes on it before?"

Xu Changsheng raised his head, and when it came to food, he was proud, "Your Majesty, these are the special dishes of our Xujia Village, and they are also going to be launched in the Immortal Restaurant in Chang'an. They are mostly made of pork. Your Majesty may wish to try them."

Li Shimin nodded. Didn't they come here to try whether the pork is fishy or not?

Xu Changsheng brought a menu and handed it over, "Your Majesty, please order."

Li Shimin was taken aback, but it was interesting.

Open the menu that was handed over like a book. It is not right to say that it is like a book, because it is thicker and the paper is stronger.

Opening the menu is even more interesting, and even a little surprised, because it is in color, and each dish is actually accompanied by a picture.

Even if you don't know the name of the dish, you can probably know what it is by looking at the picture.

Looking at these pictures makes people's index finger move.

Li Tai was far away, and his saliva flowed out. It looked delicious, it was this steamed pork, father, please hurry up.

Li Shimin flipped through the pages one by one, Li Tai blushed so anxiously, Father, don't just look at it, you should order it, look at this braised elbow, the color looks delicious, order it.

However, Li Tai was disappointed again, because Li Shimin glanced at it and turned it over again.

Li Shimin kept nodding and looked at the price. It was indeed much cheaper than mutton, and the cost of eating meat was greatly reduced.

Li Tai was about to burst into tears, and he didn't order any of them.

But he was very happy right away, because Li Shimin said, "Let's all come together."

Don't look at the thick menu, in fact, there is only one dish on a page, all of which are pictures, and they are such a big family.

Xu Changsheng nodded. He probably had to add more food later, because it was so delicious that they bit off their tongues.

Xu Changsheng ran to the back kitchen, then came back, pointed to a box by the wall, "Your Majesty, what do you want to drink?"

Only then did everyone realize that there was a cabinet standing there.

Li Tai's eyes lit up, but he knew that there was such a cabinet in Xu's supermarket, which was used to sell popsicle drinks.

Li Shimin is also interesting, "This is the refrigerator in your Xujia supermarket, is it called that?"

Xu Changsheng was taken aback, even His Majesty knew?

In order to sell cold drinks, this refrigerator was designed with great difficulty. In fact, it is not difficult, but the saltpeter used is a bit too much, and it is enough to seal it well.

At this time, Empress Changsun said, "Let me get the drinks."

Empress Changsun stood up and walked over.

Xu Changsheng hurriedly followed and showed Empress Changsun how to open it.

As soon as the refrigerator was opened, Empress Changsun fell in love with it. The drinks bottles were arranged densely and neatly, not messy at all, and it was very clean. Popsicles were placed underneath.

Empress Changsun reached out and took two bottles of Coke and two bottles of herbal tea, and then waved to a group of princes, "You can get what you want to drink yourself."

A group of princes couldn't hold back long ago, but a group of princesses were very reserved.

Li Shimin looked at it, "There are indeed some differences."

The little princes were quite polite, they got drinks for the princesses first, and then ran back to get their own.

It can be said that there is no child who doesn't like these drinks, and I guess adults do too. Especially in such a hot weather, drinking a sip of iced drinks can cool you down.

"Xu Jiazi, your drinks are really delicious."

"Especially this herbal tea. I fell in love with it even though I didn't like drinking tea before. Coke is also delicious. I want to drink it no matter what."

Not long after, the dishes began to come up one after another.

Empress Changsun waved to Xu Changsheng, "Come and eat together, you've been busy for a long time."

Xu Changsheng is not polite, he is really hungry, "Your Majesty, Madam, please try my Xu family's pork."

Empress Changsun gave Li Shimin a piece of steamed pork.

Li Shimin looked at it and found that it looked really good, then put it in his mouth and chewed it.

The smell of meat is all over the mouth, where is the stench coming from, I can't help but be stunned, "Is this really pork?"

The taste is quite different from the pork I have eaten before, and it is obviously not lamb or beef.

Xu Changsheng replied, "Exactly, pork can actually be so delicious, the premise is that the pigs must be raised according to the new pig raising method."

To be honest, when Xu Changsheng said that the smell of pork was no longer there, Li Shimin probably understood that the smell was no longer so strong, and he never imagined that it could be so delicious.

Li Shimin looked at a group of children looking at him and said, "Eat."

Some princesses hesitated, this is pork.

But these dishes look really delicious, and their father ate them all, if they don't know the general, they will definitely leave a bad impression.

I had to carefully pinch a little and put it in my mouth.

Then their eyes lit up. Is this the pork they knew?

Xu Changsheng introduced next to each other, "The steamed pork just now is steamed with pork and soybean flour. Please try this pig's knuckle again. It's fat but not greasy, it's very delicious, and this little fried pork... this Twice-cooked pork...the method is very simple."

After a meal, I added several more dishes in a daze.

When they walked out of the shop, a group of little princes kept their stomachs full and kept saying, "It's delicious, I'm tired of eating the ones in the Imperial Dining Room, and it's not as good as Xu's pork."

"That's right, they still dislike the smell of pork. I don't think they know how to do it."

Li Shimin nodded. From this point of view, pork is indeed a good thing.

He has experienced it himself, so of course he has the right to speak.

Even the emperor, empress and a group of princes and princesses thought it tasted good, and other people liked it even more.

When they came out of the shop, they looked full of wine and food, and they were still discussing how pork could be so delicious. It was really insightful.

The key is that it is much cheaper than mutton, and it doesn't feel bad at all to eat, so I ordered a lot.

Xu Changsheng laughed. It seems that Xujiacun has made a lot of money this time.

The people who came out emptied the refrigerator, still holding drinks or popsicles.

It took a lot of time to eat, and after a short rest, Xu Changsheng led a group of people to the square.

This wide leisure plaza is what Xu Changsheng plans to use to build football fields, basketball courts, and badminton courts. It is very large.

Because he went to Chang'an, none of the things in these plans were produced, and it is just right to use them for publicity.

It is also thanks to this square, otherwise there would be many times more people than planned, and I don't know how to arrange it.

The whole square, except the entrance side, is surrounded by fruit trees.

Now it is autumn in August, and some fruit trees have already hung a lot of fruit.

"Wow, are these grapes?" An exclamation came.

Xu Changsheng was startled, what's wrong?What happened to the grapes?Shouldn't it have fallen to the ground?

Because his grape variety is very huge, the weight of a bunch of grapes can't be supported by the vines at all, but didn't he let the uncles of the Xu family use trellises to support the bunches of grapes?

Empress Changsun was looking at the surrounded square curiously, and said, "Your Majesty, let's go and have a look too."

She is more interested in planting.

Li Shimin nodded, it's not just grapes, what's the fuss about.

Go over and take a look, and you will know why.

The bunches of grapes were too big, and each bunch had to be supported by a shelf, otherwise the vines would have to be broken.

"Isn't it too big, Xu Jiazi, why is your family bigger than other people's family whether it is raised or planted?"

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun also looked over in amazement.

Xu Changsheng replied, "It's a matter of variety. Grapes of this variety can grow so big."

The dark red granules, each one is very plump, so attractive that even Empress Changsun couldn't resist picking one and putting it in her mouth

"It's so sweet." Empress Changsun narrowed her eyes.

Of course it was sweet, and it was the best variety of his time.

Li Shimin and Li Chengqian also picked one, "The flesh is plump and juicy, the taste is sweet, it's really a good grape."

Xu Changsheng smiled wryly, because he saw that some ministers were also picking grapes from his family. Fortunately, there were not many ripe ones, but he still reminded, "Everyone, don't pick the ones that are not ripe, so as not to waste them."

"Where is Xu Jiazi talking? Is there any reason why we don't understand?"

Xu Changsheng thought to himself, you understand, but don't pick it.

These scholars, when they are usually reasonable, they are very polite, but it is embarrassing to be shameless.

In fact, they still know how to be polite, and most of them just pick one and taste it, which seems to them a taste.

The ancients were very hospitable. For example, when you invite a guest to your home, the guest will take the initiative to pick a fruit when they see that the fruit on your fruit tree is growing well.

It's just...Xu Changsheng had too many guests this time, so his heart hurts.

Empress Changsun looked over, "Xu Jiazi, just now you said it was because of the variety? That is to say, I can grow such large grapes with the seeds of these grapes."

Xu Changsheng was taken aback, and replied, "Exactly, if my lady likes it, I will send some to the palace when the grapes are ripe, and my lady can use the remaining grape seeds to try planting."

Empress Changsun nodded, she likes to grow these by herself.

"Xu Jiazi, what is growing on that side? Why have you never seen it before?" Another person pointed to a row of apple trees and asked.

The apple tree is not very high, but it also bears some fruit in twos and threes.

Xu Changsheng smiled, "This is an apple, which is very delicious and has high nutritional value."

I just finished speaking, and I feel that I will suffer.

Sure enough, Li Tai had already run over, "Xu Jiazi, give me one, no one else is allowed to pick it, it's not much."

Xu Changsheng: "..."

Everyone didn't see much, and after hearing what Li Tai said, they really didn't have the nerve to do anything.

Xu Changsheng thought to himself, Li Tai, a foodie, has kept his apples?

Quickly reminded, "Pick the red one, the others are not familiar."

"Oh." Li Tai hopped off the big red apple.

Then he ran back, split an apple into four and gave it to Li Shimin's family to taste.

It is also stingy enough, but there is no way, the others are really unfamiliar, it would be a pity to pick them.

The apples are crisp in the mouth, and they are extremely sweet after chewing a few more times.

"This fruit called an apple is somewhat similar to a pear, but it is sweeter and crisper. It is indeed a good fruit. I wonder where Xu Jiazi got the seeds?" said Empress Changsun.

It's impossible for Xu Changsheng to say that he brought it from thousands of years later, right?He had to say, "I bought it from Hu merchants, and I don't know where they got it from."

Empress Changsun nodded, "I didn't expect that there are some good things in Outland."

Now there is only one last side of banana left.

Sure enough, someone's voice came, "Xu Jiazi, your bananas are too strong. How big is this bunch?"

When everyone saw it, it was really amazing, just the bunches, the rows were full of bananas.

Xu Changsheng smiled wryly, since they are all bigwigs in the imperial court, it is difficult for him to say anything.

But, after eating his fruit, it's not too much for him to make a small request, right?

Turning around, he said to Li Shimin who was still savoring the taste of apples, "What do you think of these longevity fruits, Your Majesty?"

Li Shimin nodded, "Not bad, not bad, better than the best fruit growers I've ever seen."

Xu Changsheng continued,
