Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

Li Er saw that things were almost the same, so he stepped up and left Jingzhao Mansion. At this moment, he was eager to know whether the potatoes had been transported back to the palace by Fang Xuanling and the others.

Zhang Dun thought for a while, and was about to go back, but Tang Jian grabbed his sleeve as soon as he took a step.

Tang Jian grabbed his cuff and did not let go, stared at him and said, "Zhang Dun, what are you doing?"

Zhang Dun said unhappily, "I'll go back to Zuixianlou."

Tang Jian spread out the other palm calmly, and asked, "What are you doing back home, tell me about the potatoes."

Zhang Dun was taken aback, looked down at the two pieces of potatoes in his hand, and asked, "Where did you get them?"

Tang Jian said as a matter of course: "You came along with me."

Zhang Dun touched his sleeves, and sure enough, the two pieces of potatoes hidden in the sleeves were gone. He said angrily, "You are a dignified governor of Jingzhao, how can you steal something?"

"Whoever stole it, I will take it!"

Tang Jian weighed the potatoes in his hands, and said with a smile: "Zhang Dun, I am a superior official who treats you well. Think about it, Zhang Liang's matter, and Yu Tao's matter, which one I am not in Help you behind your back?"

Zhang Dun looked at him, "What do you want to say?"

"Let's go to Zuixian Tower." Tang Jian said seriously, "I want to taste the taste of potatoes."

Mu Qingcang suddenly said: "Can I go with you?"

Are you all foodies together? Zhang Dun looked at the two dumbfounded, thought for a while and said, "Then let's go together."

----

In Zuixian Building, after half an hour of cooking, Zhang Dun brought a plate of cooked dishes and a bucket of rice on the small table.

Tang Jian couldn't wait to sit down, looked at the dishes on the plate with burning eyes, swallowed and said, "This thing smells so good."

Sitting next to him, Mu Qingcang nodded approvingly.

"This dish is called braised pork with potatoes."

Zhang Dun filled three bowls of rice and said with a smile:

"This dish is not difficult to make. Choose a piece of pork belly and cut it into small long pieces. Fry it in a pot until it turns a sugary color. Add the pork piece, add some star anise leaves and cinnamon, pour some soy sauce, and add water to stew half of it. An hour later, after the meat is cooked and rotten, cut the potatoes into pieces and stew them for a while before they can be cooked."

Just as he was talking, Zhang Dun found that half of the dishes on the plate were missing. He looked at the two wolfed down speechlessly, and said, "Eat slowly, and save some for me."

"Smell, it's really fragrant!" Tang Jian said with his cheeks on his feet and his eyes shining.

Zhang Dun picked up a chopstick of potatoes, put them in his mouth, and chewed with his eyes closed. Well, it tastes like modern potatoes!

Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind passing by, Zhang Dun opened his eyes and looked, only to find Hu Guang rushing over, pinching a piece of braised pork with his fingers and putting it into his mouth.

Zhang Dun said angrily: "Brother Hu, don't start directly."

"I could smell it upstairs." Hu Guang picked up his chopsticks and sat down, smacking his lips and said, "Brother Zhang, I think this dish can be our Zuixianlou's signature in the future."

Tang Jian took it seriously and said, "After adding potatoes, the taste is extraordinary."

After speaking, what did he think of, looked at Zhang Dun curiously and said, "By the way, how about the potato production?"

Zhang Dun pondered: "Not much, I went to the field with my second uncle and others to weigh it today, and the yield per mu is probably only [-] catties."

Bang, in an instant, the sound of three pairs of chopsticks falling to the ground suddenly resounded.

Chapter 394 Thunder strikes suddenly, a major event in Jingzhao Mansion

Tang Jian, Hu Guang, and Mu Qingcang looked at Zhang Dun in shock, regardless of the chopsticks falling to the ground.

"You just said, how much is the yield per mu?" Tang Jian trembled.

Zhang Dun said: "One thousand two hundred catties, what's the matter?"

Tang Jian jumped up and said excitedly, "What did you say?!"

"This is [-] catties!"

Mu Qingcang came back to his senses, and muttered to himself: "So that's how it is..."

No wonder Li Erhui absolved him of his previous crimes!

Mu Qingcang knows what it means to be able to produce [-] catties of potatoes per mu.

This will be something that changes history!

Hu Guang clicked his tongue and said, "Why are there so many?"

"A lot?" Zhang Dun frowned.

"Not much?" Hu Guang asked back in amazement, "Brother Zhang, do you know how much grain our Tang Dynasty can produce per mu of land?"

"It's better, two or three hundred catties. The best fertile land can produce less than four hundred catties of grain at most."

Tang Jian nodded his head heavily and said, "Exactly! You can produce [-] catties per mu with one potato. If it can be popularized in the whole world, why should we worry about not having enough food in the Tang Dynasty? What food disasters and food shortages will we worry about!"

Zhang Dun shook his head and said: "That's what you said, but if you want to popularize, the number of seeds is not enough."

Tang Jian was stunned and asked, "What are the seeds of this potato?"

Zhang Dun pointed to the braised pork with potatoes on the plate, "That's what's on the plate."

Hu Guang: "..."

Mu Qingcang: "..."

Tang Jian was devastated, "Ah, what a crime!"

If he knew that the dishes on the plate were seeds, he would not even take a bite if he was killed.

Spit it out now, is there still time?

Obviously it's too late.

It's all cooked!

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Tang Jian gritted his teeth, his eyes were red.

Zhang Dun said speechlessly: "Can I have time to say? On the way back, you kept wanting to eat potatoes. Can I get in?"

"What do you mean? You still blame me?" Tang Jian cursed, "It's obviously your fault!"

Zhang Dun said angrily: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, don't eat it!"

"Why!" Tang Jian picked up the chopsticks that fell on the ground, wiped off the dust with his sleeve, and put a piece of potato into his mouth.

"It's delicious!" Tang Jian praised, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said sadly, "It's a crime."

"Can you still eat?"

Zhang Dun said angrily and amusedly, he felt guilty after eating it, so don't eat it if he feels guilty.

Hu Guang didn't feel burdened, he put chopsticks into his mouth one by one, and suddenly saw Mu Qingcang sitting there, motionless, chewing his cheeks and curiously said: "Brother Mu, why don't you eat it?" ?”

"I was thinking about a question..."

Mu Qingcang said with a dazed expression, "Do you think I want to be famous in history?"

Hearing this, Tang Jian and Hu Guang were taken aback for a moment, then lowered their heads and began to think.

It seems really...

Once potatoes become popular, Datang will no longer worry about food disasters and food shortages. Mu Qingcang, who brought potatoes back from overseas, will surely be recorded in history.

Hu Guang looked at him enviously, but anyone with ambition would not want to be famous in history, but it is not so easy to put his name in the annals of history.

I am afraid that it will be impossible in this life to be a store owner by myself.

"Zhang Dun!"

At this moment, Tang Jian suddenly called out kindly, "I also want to leave a name in history, please give me a tip."

Zhang Dun paused for a while, looked up and said strangely: "There is a way, don't wear clothes and walk around Chang'an City twice, and ensure that you will be famous in history!"

"That's a fart to leave a name in history!" Tang Jian said angrily: "What I want is a good reputation!"

In fact, you don’t have to do anything now!Zhang Dun said silently in his heart.

Tang Jian's name is really recorded in the annals of history, because he is one of the 24 heroes of Lingyan Pavilion!

In the war against Turks, Tang Jian sent Turks as an envoy to stabilize Jieli, and finally made outstanding contributions and was promoted to Hubu Shangshu. His glory will reach its peak and be revered by future generations.

It's just that the Tang Dynasty is now in a period of keeping a low profile, and Tang Jian is still the governor of Jingzhao, and has not yet sent an envoy to Turkic.

"You have a chance." Zhang Dun couldn't tell the future direction, he said with a smile: "Maybe one day, our Tang Dynasty will use troops against the Turks and send you as an envoy."

Tang Jian's expression changed slightly, "Going to Turkic as an envoy? Do you think I'm a fool? If I go to Turkic as an envoy, will I still be able to come back?"

That's right, I want to know too!Zhang Dun secretly slandered.

If he was Jieli, after learning that Tang Dynasty was coming, he should not take Tang Jian's sacrificial flag first?But he escaped from the dead, not only went back alive, but also got a promotion!

Tang Jian lost the interest of leaving his name in history for a while, and while eating sullenly, he said: "Tomorrow morning, Zhang Dun, take it easy."

"You used the power of the Shaoyin of the Jingzhao Mansion to arrest the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple, and all officials will definitely impeach you."

"It's okay, they can't impeach me." Zhang Dun smiled, how few people were impeached in court.

"That's true." Tang Jian nodded in agreement, with your father-in-law supporting you, it's no wonder that all senses can beat you.

"I'll go back to Jingzhao Mansion first, and see you tomorrow morning."

After eating, Tang Jian stood up and said.

Zhang Dun asked in a daze, "Aren't you going home?"

Tang Jian shook his head, "There must be someone watching in the Jingzhao Mansion. If you arrest Yu Tao, if he dies in the prison, you and I will be involved."

"No way?" Mu Qingcang said in surprise.

"It's hard to say." Hu Guang slammed his mouth and said: "My brother Zhang has offended too many people. If you can't keep it safe, who wants to beat ghosts and use Zhong Kui to kill Yu Shaoqing, and then put the blame on my brother Zhang's head."

"Shop Hu is insightful." Tang Jian gave him a thumbs up, then waved his hand, turned and left.

"I'll see you off." Zhang Dun got up and said with a smile.

With Tang Jian sitting in Jingzhao Mansion, everything is safe.

By doing this, Tang Jian was actually helping him. Zhang Dun sent him to the door, cupped his hands and said softly, "Master Tang, thank you very much. I will return this favor to you in the future."

"You still have a little conscience." Tang Jian grinned, bowed his hands in return, and left quickly.

At night, it began to rain.

Also accompanied by thunder.

Zhang Dun returned to the house, opened the window and looked at the dark sky, feeling a little emotional.

If it is in modern times, the street is still brightly lit and the traffic is constantly flowing.

Boom boom boom!Suddenly, with the sound of knocking on the door, a female voice sounded: "Sir, can I come in?"

Zhang Dun opened the door and said in surprise, "Qu He, why are you still awake at this late hour?"

Hu Quhe said nervously, "Sir, Tang Fu Yin is here."

Didn't he go to Jingzhao Mansion?Zhang Dun was taken aback for a moment, and walked downstairs quickly, only to see Tang Jian, who was wet all over, standing at the door of the counter with an extremely dignified expression.

Zhang Dun frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

"Something has happened." Tang Jian tensed up, stared straight at him, and said, "Yu Tao... is dead."

Chapter 395 There are only five hours left before the morning court

"What did you say?"

Zhang Dun's pupils shrank suddenly, "Dead?"

How can it be!When he was in Jingzhao Mansion, when he asked Team Leader Yang to put Yu Tao in jail, he was still alive and well.

Looking at him like that, he is a tough master.

How could it be possible to die!

Still died in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion!

Zhang Dun was thinking calmly while staring at Tang Jian, waiting for him to continue.

Tang Jian raised his hand and wiped his forehead. Even he didn't know whether it was rain or cold sweat. He said in a trembling voice, "When I went back, he was already dead."
