The Red Chamber: Jia She Xiuxian Ji

Arriving in front of the stove where Jia She was just staying, he saw Jia She pulling out a few black things stained with plant ash from a pile of charcoal ashes, and immediately frowned.

"Is this what you call baked potatoes? Isn't that too dirty?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, Jia She saw one of the ash-covered roasted sweet potatoes wiped off the ash from his body, and handed it directly to Tu Yu who was beside him.

Tu Yu didn't dislike it, took it, peeled off the outer skin, revealing the golden flesh inside, and a domineering sweet fragrance rushed straight into his nose.

The man subconsciously swallowed his saliva, he really wanted to eat it!

Jia She said with a smile: "This is roasted sweet potato. My lord and I love this bite the most. We ate a lot of the mansion's stock earlier. You are lucky to catch the first wave today. Come on, Eat one, the amount of this is not much, if you want to eat another batch, you have to wait, you have to wait for someone to come over from Zhuangzi."

Several people couldn't believe it, but seeing that Tu Yu was eating so deliciously, they thought the taste was not much different, so they also took the roasted sweet potatoes from Jia Shen, imitating their actions, peeling off the skin of the sweet potatoes, carefully Take a bite.

In an instant, a sweet fragrance filled the mouth.

"good to eat!"

Jia She shrugged. Of course the roasted sweet potatoes are delicious, but if you eat too much, there is an embarrassing after-effect.

But would he say such a small flaw?Of course Jia Amnesty wouldn't say it, if he wanted to eat delicious food, he still had to bear some sequelae.

The news of the porridge was spread to Emperor Xingning's imperial case at the first time. On the imperial case was a carved red lacquer plate with a potato and a corn on it.

The corn is golden all over, the grains are full, and the appearance is excellent.

Emperor Xingning only glanced at it, and picked up the corn. All the food that could be sent to him was poison tested by the eunuch. Emperor Xingning didn't need to worry about it. According to Wei's eating method, break off a few corn kernels, put them in your mouth, and taste the taste.

Although it doesn't have much taste, it can be full of fragrance after eating too much, and you can't stop eating it.

After eating less than half of it, a feeling of fullness came from his stomach, and Emperor Xingning's eyes were full.

How could Emperor Xingning sit still?He ordered to prepare to leave the palace, and he wanted to go to the Rongguo Mansion to see with his own eyes what the people thought of the food.

In front of Jia's porridge shed, more and more people were attracted to line up to get food. There were potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes. Rong Guogong was not afraid at all.In front of his baked sweet potato stand, more and more people gathered around, wanting to taste what it was like to have a good taste that was praised as being in the sky but not in the earth.The speed of roasting sweet potatoes can no longer keep up with the speed of eating sweet potatoes.

Fortunately, Tu Yu had the foresight. As soon as he noticed that more and more people came to grab food from them, he immediately declared that each person could only take one piece, and the size was random.

This regulation made everyone very dissatisfied, but the things belonged to others, so if you come to eat for free, you can't justify being dissatisfied.

After eating, I can only watch helplessly.

The sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes kept piercing their noses. They tasted the deliciousness of roasted sweet potatoes just now, and staying here any longer is simply masochistic.

But they were still reluctant to leave. They just stood there, smelling the aroma, and watching everyone eat mashed sweet potatoes.

Jia Amnesty shook his head, why bother?

At this time, the little servant Hanyu leaned into Jia She's ear and whispered: "Master, the saint is here and already in the mansion. As soon as he enters the mansion, let the brothers take a roasted sweet potato and go there."

Jia She blinked, and immediately knew that Emperor Xingning was hooked by something.

The emperor is here, of course they can't stay here for the baked sweet potato gathering, so they quickly picked the best looking one, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and carried it into the mansion. Sitting at the concierge, the concierge of their house was crowded to the point of embarrassment, so he could only find a corner where he would not disturb the saint.

Emperor Xingning sat there with a big horse and a golden sword, his aura was touching.

Just stepped through the door, Jia Amnesty was a little dazed, looked at the imposing Emperor Xing Ning inside the door, who occupied the magpie's nest, and then looked at Ningrong Street, which was almost surrounded by water, subconsciously trembled, so many people, can't Let people know that His Majesty the Emperor of Daqi comes here in his humble clothes, and he will die!

As the saying goes, "Many ants kill elephants", no matter how many magic tricks he has, he can't stand the crowd!

Not daring to delay, he hastily and respectfully invited Emperor Xingning to the Rongxi Hall, and ordered the kitchen in the mansion to cook a table of delicious meals with potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes.

Jia Amnesty was so eloquent, Emperor Xing Ning pressed his heart, let go of his stomach and ate a meal, and then he had the strength to discuss matters with the two ministers.

"Is this the grain you sent people to find overseas a few years ago?"

A few years ago, Jia She jumped up and down and sent a boat out to sea, saying that he wanted to find overseas grain seeds. At that time, besides Tu Yu, only Emperor Xingning was full of hope for this matter. As far as it is concerned, it is simply a blessing.

It's a pity that the fleet has been there for many years, and finally came back seven years ago, and it did bring back a lot of food seeds from overseas.As a result, Jia Amnesty saw it, and was very dissatisfied. He took those things to Zhuangzi for trial planting, saying that he wanted to optimize these seeds and then plant them again, picking out the best and most suitable seeds for Daqi to plant.

After so many years, even Emperor Xingning was desperate and forgot about this matter. He never thought that Jia She could hold his breath so calmly. If it wasn't for this natural disaster, wouldn't he want to take it out? ?

Jia She nodded: "After all, it is something that was obtained from an overseas country. It is full of satiety. I don't choose the land. Even the sandy land on the hillside can be planted, but the taste is a bit bad. In recent years, the minister and his subordinates have done a lot. I have worked hard to improve them. Fortunately, after several years of hard work, it has not been in vain. What your majesty is eating now is the ultimate taste that I can make so far."

If it weren't for the selection of high-yield and delicious varieties, Jia Amnesty had already promoted these two kinds of grains found from overseas to the whole Daqi, so how could we wait until now?

Although Jia Amnesty said that, he was very proud of himself. With today's technological level, it is not easy to achieve this level.

You know, if these three kinds of grains can be promoted to the people of Daqi, how many people can live? Emperor Xingning understood the benefits of these grains better than Jia She, and immediately smiled: "Minger Zhen asked the steward of Huangzhuang to find them. You, you can take out some seeds and let them plant them, the yield per mu is more than a thousand catties, I think it’s better to see it than to believe it.”

Of course Jia Amnesty had no objection, he was going to use these to benefit the common people.Is there a better way than handing it over to Emperor Xingning?

Tu Yu laughed and said, "Your Majesty's words are very true. I have something to say, and I may discuss it with Your Majesty."

"speak."

Tu Yu said: "These three kinds of crops don't pick the land, especially potatoes, they don't pick the season. Now that it's almost autumn, why don't we send some grain seeds from these fields to the frontier soldiers, so that they can grow in the mountains or in the mountains?" It is a trial planting in low-level fields. Firstly, the high yield of this product can help the frontier army survive the lack of food in winter, and secondly, those barbarians do not know this product. When they go south to plunder, they will naturally skip these things. Leave the rations."

"can."

After talking about the food, Tu Yu said again: "Nowadays more and more refugees have entered Beijing due to disasters, and it is unrealistic for them to return to their hometowns to rebuild their homes. In the next few days, more and more refugees will come to Beijing. If this continues , I'm afraid something will happen."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xing Ning wanted to sigh, he was also worried about this matter.According to the experience of previous years, the problem of refugees is not easy to solve.

Jia She said: "What's the matter? Those people leave their hometowns and come to the capital. They are unfamiliar with the place, just looking for a chance to survive. They will make troubles. The main reason is that they are too free. They have nothing to do at home all day long, and they can receive disaster relief food and clothing. A day or two is fine, but after a long time, can something happen? As long as these people get busy, go out to work during the day, go home at night, wash up and go to sleep, how can they have time to fart?"

These words were highly agreed by Tu Yu: "Very true."

Emperor Xing Ning was stunned by what the two of them said, but after thinking about it carefully, isn't that the reason?Clapping his hands, he praised: "Wonderful! It's really wonderful! Tell me, how do you keep those people busy?"

Jia She said: "As the saying goes, it's not about helping the poor. I'm giving porridge to help the victims today. It's just about helping the emergency. There are so many refugees, we can't help them, and the landlord's family has no food left!"

"Could it be possible that you want them to pay?" Emperor Xingning was startled, his Duke Rong couldn't be so ruthless, could he? !

Considering that the person in front of him is his immediate boss, who holds the power of life and death, his eyes, which had already rolled halfway, were suppressed again.

Jia Amnesty really wanted to say: Is this kind of person? !
