It seems that I am still too full [travel]

With this, the people in the queue at the back are more and more looking forward to the food that can make the rich man who has tasted all the dishes never forget, it must be something that the gods eat!However, the one thousand zongzi prepared by the back kitchen of the academy who got up early in the morning soon finished giving away. Fortunately, when Xie Shi asked people to persuade the crowd behind the long queue in advance, so that if they wanted to receive the donated zongzi, they would go to the Dragon Boat Festival Come back that day.

Because the academy is doing charitable charity this time rather than doing business, although some people who lined up are dissatisfied, they don't want to make a fuss, so they have to make up their minds to start a grand ceremony on the Dragon Boat Festival just like the rich man in front of him. Come back early.

It is ironic that after the first day of the new year, the local food shops in Le County also followed suit and began to sell salted meat dumplings, and the salted meat dumplings in these restaurants were copied from the canteen of Dongcang Academy—— Even the ingredients of the zongzi are exactly the same!

In line with the mentality of "produced by Dongcang, it must be a high-quality product", many people in Le County who were fond of sweet rice dumplings in the past have been hooked by Dongcang's salty meat rice dumplings this year. Therefore, the business of these counterfeit stores is actually good!

Naturally, Xie Shi didn't pay attention to these things, these gossips were only known by the young servants who served him when they told him about them. The two young servants were put on holiday by the master's house for a few days during the Dragon Boat Festival, and returned to their homes in the county. After returning, they were filled with righteous indignation Talking about this matter with Xie Shi, "They not only copied the eating method developed by you, but also hung a sign of 'Dongcang secret recipe, recommended by Xie Shanzhang' at the door of the store, using you as a gimmick without authorization, which is really annoying. !"

"That's right! I've tasted it, and the taste of the salted meat dumplings they sell is far inferior to the rice dumplings in our academy. Using your name to cook this bad food, wouldn't it tarnish your reputation as an official? !"

"Ah! Why do you still patronize those unscrupulous merchants!" The servant was so angry that he accused his friend.

Another boy with a dark face and naivety scratched his head and explained: "I didn't go to patronize, alas, my mother thought it was the business of the mountain chief, so she bought some..."

"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter, they imitate as they want, and this is not my exclusive patent, but I really have to take care of it under my banner. I will let Wang Jia go to the county someday. " Xie Shi smiled to stop the "quarrel" between the two young boys, "It's hot today, I ordered the back kitchen to make grass jelly and bring me a bowl. Bowl, lower your anger."

As soon as the master spoke, the two boys naturally followed suit, and hearing that there was some frozen grass to eat today, the two boys even walked a lot more briskly.A Niang was right, they were able to enter the Xie Mansion as servants, I don't know if it was the blessings of several generations of cultivation, not only they were given a lot of money, but they could also rest and bathe like those officials and adults during holidays, and what's more. The most important thing is to be able to enjoy jade food and fine wine with the master from time to time, and you can't find a benevolent master like Mr. Xie anywhere else with a lantern!

Xie Shi looked at the backs of the two servants going away carefree, shook his head with a smile, but when he saw the letter sent by Han Ji on the case, he frowned again and sighed softly. Take a breath.This year has not yet reached the summer solstice, and the earth is already like a furnace. Xie Shiben is not heat-resistant, and it will be so hot. Apart from the inner jacket, he only wears an extremely thin toga blouse, if it is not for the sake of image , he didn't even want to wear a smock.

Le County and even the entire Fujian area is close to the sea, so although there are droughts, at least there have been a few rains, and the farmers can only lament a few times this year. It has reached the point where there is no harvest—from Xiaoman's time to now, there are only a few drops of rain, how can the rice and millet grow?

Han Ji's letter was sent from Raozhou. Further west of Raozhou, Xu Shouzhen's forces occupy the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River.Now Xu Jun was fighting fiercely with the government army that was going south to suppress the thieves. Xu's soldiers were originally powerful and faintly overwhelmed the imperial army.

On the other hand, Xu Shouzhen, because of the drought and the compulsory conscription of militias everywhere to fight against the government and army, the so-called prefectures and counties around Qishui that defended the "imperial city" suffered disasters, and many turmoil broke out.A civil strife at this critical juncture is tantamount to giving the enemy a chance to beat him hard, so now Xu Shou is really having a hard time, losing several cities one after another.

Now Han Ji is sitting in Raozhou, in case the two forces collude to encircle and suppress our own side, or if the government and army wipe out Xu Shouzhen, they will regroup and come towards our side.At the same time, after this letter was issued, Han Ji also dispatched generals such as Qi Qi and Liu Meng to lead his troops down the Yangtze River, preparing to capture Nanjing, Huzhou, Changzhou and other places, and include all the land of Huguang, the world's granary. middle.

These military intelligence battle reports were shared by Han Ji in the letter when he thanked them. Although the two were separated from each other, they kept exchanging letters, basically every one or two days.Both of them are "talking about friends" for the first time, and one is an ancient person, reserved and coquettish, so there is very little content about you and me in the letter. Thousands, Nianjun Suye" - this is usually the practice of some kind of Han Zhugong, Xie Shi likes to draw some two-person cartoon villains at the end of the letter to express his thoughts.

In addition, if the content of the conversation between the two people in the letter is known to others, they may be confused.Han Ji is used to reporting his itinerary and discussing the situation in the world with thanks, and by the way, he is a "purchaser", such as where he marched today and how the military situation is; Don't forget to ask Xie Shi's recent diet repeatedly, so as to supervise someone not to forget to eat.

Xie Shi reported his daily eating and drinking. Today's letter said, "Command the cafeteria made saliva chicken. It tastes very good and appetizing. It's a pity that Brother Ji can't taste it outside. I attach the recipe to satisfy Brother Ji's greed." Tomorrow He wrote, "On a rainy day, I was trapped at home with nothing to do, and I was greedy for a while, so I spent a day cooking a cup of Buddha jumping over the wall. However, I haven't done it for a long time, and the portion is not in place. If Brother Ji is here, I will be able to solve the problem."

Xie Shiyuan wanted to write to Han Ji with a bowl of burning jelly, lest he send another letter to urge him, but saw Wang Jia hurried in from outside with a serious expression, "Master, the farm's experimental field has been burned!"

Xie Shi didn't react at the first moment, and was stunned on the spot. Wang Jia knew every word in what he said separately, so how come he couldn't understand it at all?

He slowly put down the pen, his hands were trembling, and he took a deep breath before forcing himself to calm down and said: "Tell me clearly, what's going on, the experimental field of the farm is not guarded by sergeants, how can someone set it on fire?"

Wang Jia replied: "Master, this is the news that Manager Huang of Tianzhuang has just sent someone to report. What's the specific situation, I will go and confirm it."

Xie Shi had a stern expression at this moment, making Wang Jia look sideways at him, only to hear him coldly say: "Let someone prepare the car, I'll go and see for myself!" He can't wait to run over to see what his precious experimental field has been burned to!

This is the result of two years of hard work that he has cultivated. Just like his child who was pregnant in October, it was about to give birth, but it was destroyed by someone. Xie Shi now has the heart to kill up!

Xie's carriage was speeding on the concrete road, and soon arrived at Xiezhuang at the foot of the mountain. Xie Shi didn't care about motion sickness, so he opened the curtain and got off the carriage to look at the experimental field. He saw thick smoke billowing not far away, and Xie Shi could not help but My heart sank.Huang Wu had already sent someone to wait at the door, and when he heard the thank you, he hurried over to apologize.

Xie Shi interrupted him, and asked as he walked towards the experimental field: "How is the situation in the experimental field now? How many fields have been burned? Who did it?"

Huang Wu hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, the officials, because the guards found out early that only one field was burned, and the Bodhisattva county magistrate, God bless, the burned field happened not to be the place where immortal rice was planted, but It's the comparison area you arranged."

When Xie Shi heard the words, his feet stopped instantly, and his mood was like a roller coaster for a long time. At this moment, his heart was still pounding nervously, "Is this true? Then you send someone to say that the experimental field was burned, what do you say?" Half of it!" He was trying to scare people!

Huang Wu repeatedly pleaded guilty, "I hope the officials will forgive me. At first, the villain was scared to death, so he hurriedly sent someone to report to you. After the fire was extinguished, after careful inspection, I found out that it was not intended to scare you." Your officer."

While talking, a group of people had already arrived at the park. After this incident, the security guards in the experimental field inspected more strictly. Except for Xie Shi who was able to enter with his face, everyone else, even Huang Wu, had to be closely inspected, especially to check whether they carried Flint and other dangerous items!

Xie Shiyi checked his precious experimental field one by one, and it was unscathed. Looking at it, the golden ears of rice lowered the branches, and when the wind blew, the rice was fragrant, and the waves of grains were continuous. It was very gratifying to see the growth, and it must not be long The next summer harvest will be a bumper harvest.

After he was relieved, Xie Shi had the thought to pursue the perpetrator.At this time, a few ferocious soldiers in black armor tied up a few farmers, and Huang Wu and the others were obviously in awe. The leading soldier bowed and saluted as he thanked him, and said, "My lord, these three are the last generals." Among the perpetrators caught, one of them is a farmer from the farm," the soldier behind pushed a middle-aged farmer with a loyal face to him.

"This person ate inside and outside, accepted money and bribes, stepped on the site for a long time, today covered two small crops and sneaked into the garden. He wanted to steal high-yielding rice, but we found out. These two thieves turned evil and set fire to the field..."

Xie Shi took a closer look, and it turned out to be a familiar face. At this moment, the farmer's face was ashen, and he didn't beg for mercy. He just knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xie Shi. tone.Since you feel that you have a great favor to him, why do you betray yourself?What's the point of repenting now?
