Straight man of steel

Chapter 107 The Crisis Accompanied by Power Change

After Chu Da happily learned the whole process of tofu from Zhangfu, he left.

He went straight to Chang'an without stopping.

When Liu Che saw the finished product of tofu, it was already the third day after Chu Da arrived in Chang'an. Several Huangmen in Xuanshi Palace tasted it before passing a complete piece of tofu to Liu Che.

"The hardness of Lidou beans, the soft texture of Lidou beans, the yellow color of Lidou beans, the white skin color, the charm of Liudou beans, the fragrance in the mouth, and the quality of Liudou beans can fill the stomach."

After taking a sip, Liu Che gave a 28-character evaluation.

Chu Da stood in the palace and catered to Liu Che.

"What your Majesty said is that I tried my best to prevent Zhang Yuan from planting soybeans in the field, but he got angry and scattered all the seeds in the field.

Now that it can have such a magical effect after growing up, now it seems that I am stupid. "

Liu Che prefers tofu to watermelon, not because tofu is more delicious than watermelon, but because it can create more affordable food for the Han people.

The price of soybeans in the market is much cheaper than grain, otherwise it would not be reduced to feed for horses.

"Tell Zhang Yuan, I don't restrict what he can plant on the [-] mu of land. One hundred mu of watermelon is enough for the palace to distribute, and the price of sugar can't be lowered even if there are too many beets.

If he can come up with new ingredients that can be popularized in the Han Dynasty, I will certainly reward him generously. "

Chu Da quickly knelt down to thank Zhang Yuan. Although Liu Che did not mention him, as long as he could see Liu Che frequently and deepen his impression, this would be the best reward for Chu Da.

At the same time, Zhang Yuan, who was lying on the table at home with a pot of iced soy milk, finally heard the voice of the system in his head.

"Ding."

"The task of hating iron but not turning into steel is completed, and you get a bag of potato seeds."

It took exactly one year for Guan Gangfa to contribute, and Liu Che helped Zhang Yuan complete this task that he thought he might be idle for the rest of his life.

For a moment, Zhang Yuan seemed to understand something.

This system is on me, and I hope that I can use these rewards to develop Dahan and help Dahan become better.

Those who have benefited from these rewards are naturally helping Zhang Yuan complete his mission.

"Is it possible that my mission is to shoulder the mission of revitalizing the great man?"

Zhang Yuan murmured.

He felt more and more that things were not easy, and besides, the big man was already very strong, and the things that foreign powers did would have to wait until Liu Che officially declared war on the Xiongnu a few years later.

Shaking his head and not thinking about the future, he continued to close his eyes and looked at the next stage of the task that the system gave him.

"How Steel Is Tempered: Iron Man: The number of armored soldiers in the Han Dynasty reached 31296 (50000/[-])

Mission Completion Reward: Three-Bow Bed Crossbow Pattern. "

After seeing the mission, Zhang Yuan was even more sure of his idea.

However, Zhang Yuan, who has never seen an army, still has no way of knowing why the number of armored soldiers of the Han Dynasty is so small.

Open your eyes and see the bag of potato seeds on the table.

Speaking of seeds, a large bag was full of yellow-skinned potatoes, and the potatoes weighing dozens of kilograms were thrown directly into the cellar for storage not far from the cold storage. The temperature here is too low to allow the potatoes to germinate.

After finishing all this, Zhang Yuan didn't care so much, picked up a few potatoes and headed towards the kitchen.

Lao Wang and several cooks were preparing the meals for everyone at night. When they saw Zhang Yuan coming, they all stood up.

"Go on with your business and leave me alone.

Lao Wang, go kill a chicken for me. "

Sensing that Zhang Yuan was very interested in cooking these days, Old Wang smiled honestly, nodded in agreement, and went to kill chickens.

Zhang Yuan picked up the kitchen knife and peeled off the skin on the potatoes, then cut them into pieces and prepared various seasonings.

Lao Wang was very quick at killing chickens, and after a while, a chicken was cleaned up, leaving nothing but the buttocks. He knew that Zhang Yuan didn't like chicken buttocks.

"Master, what is this?"

Lao Wang pointed to the potatoes on the stove that Zhang Yuan had cut into pieces and soaked in water.

"It's just a vegetable. I'll use it to stew chicken to see if it tastes good."

There is no way to explain these things to others. If people in the family ask, they will just perfunctory. If Liu Che asks, it is right to push everything to Hu Shangzhun.

At this time, Zhang Yuan has already started talking about his family member Zhang Qian. This guy has been to the Western Regions for a year, and now he has not heard from him. When he brings back various seeds from the Western Regions, these things can be imposed on him. Moreover, Zhang Yuan really wanted to eat garlic and ginger, and cooking without these two things always felt like something was missing.

After simmering for half an hour, with some wine added in the middle, Zhang Yuan picked up the full bowl of potato braised chicken and went out without caring about the greedy cooks around him.

"Old Wang, there is some left in the pot, give it to the babies who can eat meat."

"Eh."

It is always better for children. Basically all the eggs in the house are consumed by these naughty children. Zhang Yuan sometimes has to make reservations in advance if he wants to eat.

Except for the children of Lao Zhao's family, these tenants raised their children until they got married, and they probably wouldn't even be able to eat an egg.

If you have delicious food, of course Xiaoqing is indispensable.

The little girl smelled it and then entered the main building.

"Young master, you are cooking again."

Xiaoqing asked Zhang Yuan, but her eyes were about to fall into the food.

"Go get two bowls of rice."

"Good."

When there is food, this little girl can run faster than anyone else.

At this time, Zhang Yuan didn't have the habit of waiting for others. He picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of potato into his mouth.

Miss the taste of seven years.

Although the big man has taro, Zhang Yuan still thinks that stewed chicken with potatoes is more delicious.Knowing that it was Zhang Yuan's new dish, Xiaoqing took it out and rushed back at the speed of a champion in the [-]-meter race. Seeing that Zhang Yuan had already started eating, he put the rice in front of Zhang Yuan and began to eat it with his head buried.

The advantage of the silly girl is that as long as she has something to eat, it doesn't matter where she comes from, so there aren't that many problems.

The harvest on the [-] mu of land allowed Zhang Yuan to spend the year comfortably, but the stable days were about to come to an end.

In the first month of the fifth year of Jianyuan, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty announced to the world that the Doctor of Biography was abolished and the Doctor of Biography was added to the "Yi" and "Li". Together with the "Book", "Poetry" and "Spring and Autumn", it was combined into the Doctor of the Five Classics.

When this news came out of Chu Da's mouth, Zhang Yuan didn't think of anything, only Queen Mother Dou was going to die in his mind.

As Zhang Yuan thought, Empress Dowager Dou was powerless to prevent Liu Che from implementing new reforms, so she could only stay in Ganquan Palace to recuperate.

The time for Liu Che to take power is getting closer, but Zhang Yuan is getting more and more anxious. Right now, Tian Fu has not come to the opposite side with Liu Che. When Queen Mother Dou dies, Tian Fu will almost face Liu Che's anger.

Will it implicate myself?
Zhang Yuan thought about such a question more than once in his heart, and finally came to the conclusion that he would definitely be implicated.

Tian Fu can be regarded as Zhang Yuan's guide. Although he is a small person, he can't pin his hopes on Liu Che to forget this matter.

"Prepare the horse, I'm going to Changling."

One month after Liu Che established Doctor Wujing, Zhang Yuan finally couldn't bear to see Tian Fu.

For a year and a half, Zhang Yuan hadn't even been to Lantian County. This time, he was going to Changling Township. The people below also guessed that there was something important. Nothing will happen with him.
