Zhuo Qihua

There was no one else in the room, Emperor Yong'an sighed, and said: "I really didn't expect you to cook, and the cooking is so delicious." The palace people helped to do most of the cooking, even the queen mother didn't know how to cook.

Zhuo Ji also sighed: "The reason why the fat man is so fat is because he not only loves to eat, but also cooks. He and I are neighbors, and we have been in the same class from elementary school to high school. He has been in charge of cooking at his house since junior high school." , he didn’t know where to eat after his parents left. I hang out with him since I was a child, and I have learned a few special dishes, but they are worse than his. It’s just that I’m too busy with work, and It’s rare that there are a few times when I do it myself, and I go to his place to eat when I have time. He tricked his wife by relying on his cooking skills.” Speaking of this, Zhuo Ji took a deep breath, a little Said sadly: "The end of the world is coming, and everything will be destroyed. My mother died, and the fat man also lost his wife and children..."

"Don't think about it." Emperor Yong'an hugged Zhuo Ji tightly, and frowned, "I don't like you thinking about the past, it's all over. If you think too much, you will have nightmares at night."

Zhuo Ji wrapped his arms around Emperor Yong'an's neck, rested his head on his shoulder and said, "I don't want to, it's all over. I survived, and Fatty and my dad will definitely survive."

Emperor Yong'an stroked Zhuo Ji's back and said, "You have developed a vaccine, and they will definitely survive. I will eat this pickled fish tonight."

Zhuo Ji raised his head: "No, eating too much spicy food will cause you to get angry, and it will be bad for a sore throat. I asked them to pick a lot of dandelions, and I will make you dumplings stuffed with dandelions at night. This is a seasonal dish. After a while The season is gone."

"Dandelions?"

"It's also called mother-in-law ding, it's a wild vegetable."

"……it is good."

I love the dumplings made by the waiter, and the wild vegetables are also delicious!

In the afternoon, Emperor Yong'an didn't summon his ministers again, and had tea with Zhuo Ji in "Fengtian Garden" to discuss political affairs.In the evening, Zhuo Ji made dandelion donkey meat dumplings, and Emperor Yong'an ate a big bowl, so much so that Zhuo Ji had to make him a bowl of Xiaoshi tea.Pigs in this era are not tasty, have never been castrated, and have a strong fishy smell, so Zhuo Ji didn't even think about making pork dumplings.He can eat it when he raises his own pigs in the future.Before going to bed, Emperor Yong'an took Zhuo Ji to take a bath in the bathtub, and then dragged Zhuo Ji who was naked to the bed.

"In the future, if you want to cook for me, tell me in advance, and I will eat with you." Don't take advantage of others!

Kissing and stroking Zhuo Ji's body, Emperor Yong'an did not forget to remind him.Zhuo Ji was already panting under the hands of Emperor Yong'an.Emperor Yong'an felt that Zhuo Ji's food had an aphrodisiac effect, and after eating it, he wanted to drag this man to the bed like that.

Emperor Yong'an "rewarded" his beloved servants in the house, while Zhang Xian, Feng Xi, Chang Jing and others were waiting outside the house.Zhuo Ji made some extra dandelion dumplings at night, Zhang Xian and the others tasted something new.After knowing He Shun for so long, Zhang Xian could see that this Shun really didn't discriminate against eunuchs like him.In Shun's eyes, eunuchs like them are no different from ordinary men.If you must tell the difference, it is probably a disability.

Thinking that Zuo is a wise man, Zhang Xian also wondered what it was like in the world where there were only men and women, and how such a wonderful person like Zuo was raised.In this Danyang Palace, which master would think of serving slaves when they eat fresh food.Which master would care that the servants who serve him are sick and in pain.Zhang Xian smacked his mouth to recollect, this pickled fish is really delicious, and the dandelion dumplings wrapped in it are really delicious.

The movement in the house faintly stopped, Zhang Xian immediately came back to his senses and walked quickly to the door, and the others also quickly walked over upon seeing this.Sure enough, not long after, His Majesty's voice came from the room: "Come here, hot water."

Emperor Yong'an only came once this night, but it lasted almost an hour.Zhuo Ji was so fucked up by Emperor Yong'an that he lost all strength.Emperor Yong'an felt as if he had taken an aphrodisiac tonight, he was as powerful as a tiger.After the two of them packed up and lay down, Zhuo Ji was too sleepy to keep his eyes open.At this time, he heard Emperor Yong'an say: "I have bought a restaurant for you, and when you go out of the palace, you can eat there, or ask someone to send you to the pharmacy."

Zhuo Ji opened his eyes, and was kissed by Emperor Yong'an on the forehead.

"You have worked hard dispensing medicines, and I have to give some people the medicines you dispensed. I gave you money to show off against you, and Huang Guixie said that it is better to buy a restaurant for you. Don't you just like to eat? I think it makes sense. That restaurant, you can take care of it as you like, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to, it’s just for the convenience of you going out of the palace to eat. But if the restaurant earns money, you are not allowed to hide it.”

Zhuo Ji raised his head and gnawed on Emperor Yong'an's chin: "Thank you Your Majesty! I will definitely not hide my house."

Emperor Yong'an rubbed Zhuo Ji's ass: "After I take your medicine, you are not allowed to ask me for money."

Zhuo Ji took another bite of Emperor Yong'an: "I was wrong, your Majesty will take whatever you want in the future."

Emperor Yong'an: "That's right. You are my beloved servant. There is no reason why you should ask me for money when I take things with you. Whatever you want, as long as I can give it, I will give it to you. On the contrary, you Whatever I want, you have to give it to me without saying a word."

Zhuo Ji hugged Emperor Yong'an tightly: "I want His Majesty to build me a big medicine garden."

"Okay, I'll let Zhang Xian do it when I get back. I'll get you a greenhouse inside, and you can grow whatever you want. Don't you want a mandala greenhouse? I'll fix everything for you."

"Your Majesty, tomorrow I will make you braised chicken."

"I will have dinner with you tomorrow."

In Beigu, Emperor Yong'an didn't have to think about the issue of equal coverage of rain and dew. He only brought Zhuo Ji, a servant, and there was no problem of uneven coverage at all.In Beigu, Zhuo Ji didn't need to think about the rain and dew evenly for Emperor Yong'an, and he didn't need to think about the feelings of the noble concubine and the others, because he was the only concubine by Emperor Yong'an's side.Even if he slept with Emperor Yong'an every day, the ministers would not be able to tell a mistake.The two of them have a little sense of a two-person world in Chatan.Emperor Yong'an was immersed in it. As for Zhuo Ji, no matter whether he admitted it or not, he was much more relaxed physically and mentally in Beigu than in Danyang Palace.

Early the next morning, Emperor Yong'an woke up and had breakfast by himself before going to the front hall to discuss matters with the ministers.The cabinet ministers who stayed in the capital were in charge of handling the government affairs during Emperor Yong'an's absence in the capital, but some memorials still needed to be rushed to Beigu, and Emperor Yong'an would personally decide.As long as there is nothing to do, Zhuo Ji usually sleeps until mid-morning before getting up, so although Emperor Yong'an said that he will have a meal with him today, it does not include breakfast.

By the way, I picked shepherd's purse and my mother-in-law to cook.Beitu heard the wind and moved up and down, even Shi Yu and Guan Minghui sent their servants to go outside to look for shepherd's purse and mother-in-law Ding.This shepherd's purse and mother-in-law can be seen everywhere in North Valley, but because of the convenience of using them for cooking, in just a few days, these two wild vegetables disappeared in the fields around North Valley.Cold shepherd's purse, cold mother-in-law, shepherd's purse dumplings, and mother-in-law dumplings were all the rage in Chatan, so that every year, people in the northeastern region of Matata began to look for shepherd's purse and mother-in-law. It can be cooked or made into dumplings.Later, this custom spread from the northeast region to the entire northern region, and many businessmen specialized in growing shepherd's purse and mother-in-law.Of course, these are things for later.

When Emperor Yong'an was eating braised yellow chicken, squirrel fish, radish rib soup and cold Po Po Ding with his favorite servant, Shi Yu, Guan Minghui and Chen Changgeng were eating Po Po Po Dumplings together.Last night, I heard that His Majesty ate granny dumplings. Shi Yu, Guan Minghui and Chen Changgeng gathered the granny dumplings picked by the servants and asked the cook to make a meal of granny dumplings for them.Not to mention, it tastes pretty good.

After eating the last dumpling, Shi Yu burped and said, "If it weren't for the chu, who would have known that this wild vegetable could be delicious. When I get back to the capital, I will ask my servants to pick some more to eat."

Guan Minghui: "When we go back to the capital, I'm afraid that the shepherd's purse and mother-in-law will be too old to eat. I heard that, by the way, I said that the shepherd's purse and mother-in-law should be picked and eaten when they are fresh and tender."

Shi Yu said regretfully: "Doesn't that mean you can't eat until next year?"

Guan Minghui nodded: "I'm afraid it is. But it's also because there are few vegetables in Beigu, so I thought of using wild vegetables. I'm a good hand, and wild vegetables can also become delicious dishes in my hands."

But Chen Changgeng said: "I heard that this shepherd's purse and mother-in-law Ding are very good at survival. The fields in the countryside are everywhere in the spring. Beigu is bitter and cold. This wild vegetable can be used as medicine and as a dish. In the future, the soldiers of Beigu We can eat at least two more dishes."

Guan Minghui nodded again and said: "Indeed. I heard from General Dingyuan that in the past years, soldiers in Beigu also ate wild vegetables, but they all felt bitter and hard to swallow. If they didn't eat well, they would have abdominal pain. It was only when there were no vegetables. Pick it and eat it. But it turns out that the cooking method is wrong. First, pick fresh and tender ones. Second, you need to blanch them in boiling water to remove the bitterness. Third, you can’t eat cold after eating wild vegetables. This Wild vegetables grow fast, as long as the roots are left, the young leaves will grow again soon after being removed. Although it is difficult to meet the needs of the entire army, at least it can add vegetables to the soldiers."

Shi Yu: "That's right. This wild vegetable tastes good after being boiled and mixed with salt. Your Majesty and Zuo can both eat it, and we can eat it even more. Sigh, I don't know what delicious food I will make for Your Majesty today."

Guan Minghui scolded with a smile: "Yesterday you ate the most!"

Shi Yu licked his lips: "When I get back to the capital, I'll ask how to make this pickled fish, and let my cook cook it to eat. This grass carp can still be found in the capital."

Chen Changgeng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "After Beigu's lake was frozen last year, Generals Dingguo and Dingyuan led the soldiers of Beigu to excavate the river ice and net out millions of catties of big fish. Shangbu should know."

Shi Yu and Guan Minghui nodded, of course they knew.

Chen Changgeng: "But before last year, Beigu was surrounded by rivers and lakes, but it never thought of going fishing to eat after it was frozen."

Shi Yu blinked: "Uh... I heard that the fishing place of the two generals is within the six counties of the Tarkin Department. They haven't fished before because the fishing lake is in the Tarkin Department ?”

Chen Changgeng: "But Talkin's Department has never used that method to catch fish. Before this, I have never heard of it. Can the two Shang Departments know how the two generals caught so many fish?"

Guan Minghui: "I heard that several ice holes were dug on the river surface."

Chen Changgeng: "It's not just that." When he told the fishing method from his investigation, Guan Minghui and Shi Yu's eyes were surprised, but Shi Yu's heart thumped.Chen Changgeng: "In the past, someone dug open the river ice after the river surface was frozen, and the fish would automatically jump up. But the method of the two generals can catch millions of catties of fish at one time. With these millions of catties of big fish and the grain and grass collected from the six counties of the Tarkin Department, no one was hungry for a whole winter and five months. Although the Beigu soldiers only had two meals a day in winter, the two Shang Bu, two meals a day, [-] troops, not hungry! Everyone can eat enough, what does that mean?"

Guan Minghui said solemnly: "It means that in the upcoming war, our soldiers have taken the lead!"

Chen Changgeng nodded solemnly and said: "The soldiers at the border can only barely eat when the big war comes. The North Valley is bitter and cold, and the soldiers have to face the invasion of Tarkin's troops from time to time. I'm full! This is only the six counties of the Tarkin Department! The Tarkin Department is sitting on a large river!"

Shi Yu: "If we can win the Talkin Department, not only will the soldiers in Beigu be guaranteed to eat and drink in the cold winter, but they can also help other places! Fish in the cold winter will not spoil!"

Chen Changgeng: "Exactly!" He mused, "Your Majesty's attitude towards Tarkin's Department has changed drastically. I'm afraid it's not just as simple as teaching Tarkin's Department a lesson..."

Shi Yu swallowed his throat, thinking: 【No, this is the advice of the 'expert' behind His Majesty again! 】

Shi Yu thought so, Guan Minghui also thought of this, but both of them kept silent in front of Chen Changgeng.Chen Changgeng did not tell the two of them all the details of his current investigation.The soldiers of North Valley will suddenly be able to fish in the cold winter, and they will also burn bricks, and use the fired bricks to build a brand new kang, and the auxiliary soldiers of North Valley are cutting down wild forests, and there is a tendency to reclaim farmland... Your Majesty is in the Academy of Sciences. I personally said that I want to plant rice in the Northland!

Chen Changgeng glanced calmly at Shi Yu and Guan Minghui who were silent, guessing that they must know something inside.Chen Changgeng is not stupid, it can be said that he is a fox.Ever since the Three Kingdoms killing card game, Chen Changgeng has noticed something.

"Pan Pozhi has caught millions of catties of fish at once, so he is not afraid that he will not have fish to eat next year!"

Emperor Yong'an, who was full, drank the Xiaoshi tea made by Ai Shi himself, and gossiped with Ai Shi.Zhuo Ji smiled and said: "I have specified in the winter fishing method not to catch small fish, and the mesh of the fishing net should be larger. I feel that the water resources here are more abundant than those in the Northeast at that time. As long as Pan Pozhi and the others know how to The reason for sustainable development is that they should be able to catch a certain amount of fish every winter, but it may not be as many as last year, after all, they have never fished like this before, and the fish in the river do not know how many years or generations they have been raised."

Emperor Yong'an: "Even if the quantity is halved, there will still be a million catties. Last year, Beigu not only had enough food for the soldiers, but also the common people had enough fish. If the Talkin Ministry was taken down, the fish that could be caught every year in the cold winter It is enough for the soldiers of Beitan to be self-sufficient, and it can also benefit the people."

Zhuo Ji: "There are three big rivers and several lakes in the territory of Tarkin, and the water resources are so rich. If we can sail far in the future, the resources in the sea will be a hundred times, a thousand times! We have to take advantage of the time when other countries have not yet developed navigation. , First get the resources in the sea. At my time, the sea resources were already very scarce, but the first person to eat crabs faced an unexploited sea. Your Majesty, it is all white money."

Emperor Yong'an said confidently: "When there is more money in the household department, and when my private treasury is fuller, I will start to set foot on the ocean."

Zhuo Ji: "If you can win the Tarkin Department this time, even if it's not the whole territory, Your Majesty will have to start thinking about how to use this treasure land in the Northeast to make money. If you take the Tarkin Department, how will you divide the land you won? ?”

Emperor Yong'an: "On the face of it, everything belongs to me, but I want to reward my ministers and workers, appease the local gentry, and let the household department have taxes to collect. What really belongs to me is only [-]%."

Zhuo Ji: "Then what if mineral deposits are found in the land allocated by His Majesty? For example, gold mines, silver mines, etc."

Emperor Yong'an: "Whoever discovers ore veins in his private land must report to the Ministry of Accounts. For those that don't matter, if the other party is valuable, I will turn a blind eye and close one eye, but if it is iron ore, copper Mines, gold mines, silver mines, etc., I want to take them back, of course, I will give compensation."

Zhuo Ji: "The northeast region of my world is rich in mineral deposits and oil fields. Your Majesty, oil mining is the future trend. There are also coal mines. Underground coal mines will be rich in coal-bed methane, which is energy. Even if we can't mine it now , and should be reserved for future generations to mine, and should not be given to private individuals in a daze. People who don’t know how to do it will directly discharge coal bed methane, which is not only a waste, but also pollutes the environment. But if it is used, it is an absolutely clean energy. "

Emperor Yong'an nodded solemnly, and said: "If we can capture Tarkin's Ministry this time, I will carefully consider how to divide this land."

Zhuo Ji: "Is there a map?"

"Map?"

"Ah."

"I'll get someone to bring it tomorrow, and you'll see what places I need to grab."

"My idea is that if your Majesty wants to take Dina Lake, he must also rely on the existing population in the Chatan area to develop it. One of the existing population is the people of our Mata country and the soldiers guarding here. The other is Tal Jin people. Disrupt the Talkin people and mix with our Mata country people. After a long time, as long as they can live on, they will naturally live in peace."

"I have already issued a secret order to Lin Xieshan. This time, at least [-]% of the territory of the Talkin Department will be captured. I will hold the place with the most abundant resources in the Talkin Department."

Zhuo Ji nodded in agreement.
