Chapter 318 Green vegetables enter the palace

The weather became colder and the coal stoves in Chang'an City began to burn.

When various pickles and pickles appeared on people's dining tables with a strong smell, Wei Renshi's business was not at the beginning.

I just started eating pickled vegetables and pickled vegetables, but the freshness has not yet faded.

When the weather gets colder, people eat pickled vegetables and pickled vegetables for autumn. After winter, only pickled vegetables and pickled vegetables are the only time to transport Wei Renshi's green vegetables to Chang'an City when he wants to vomit.

Now, it's the time.

The first batch of vegetables picked from the carriage in front of the door were carried out. Because Wei Renshi built enough greenhouses, there were also many picks. Now what is transported here is only a very small part of them.

When it is cold, as long as the temperature is controlled properly and not too cold and freezes, these vegetables can be kept fresh. Wei Renshi should also take advantage of these time to attract the people of Chang'an City to the village.

The market at Wei Renshi's village is ready to make some money, so that those farmers can also make some money.

Of course, the first thing is that the news came out, so they were asked to transport so many fresh vegetables that had just been picked.

What to do?

Of course it's a gift!

"Uncle Shi, divide these things into dozens of portions, and every vegetable in them must be included." Wei Renshi picked up a cucumber from the basket, but he didn't wash it. He put it into his mouth with a wiping of it. There was a crisp sound, and it was cool!

"Xiaolang, don't worry, I will see the people tonight, and I won't delay you tomorrow." Boss Shi bowed and said.

Wei Renshi was very relieved about Boss Shi doing things.

When Wei Renshi went out the next morning, the vegetables were indeed distributed and placed neatly there.

Wei Renshi called the housemates and carried a basket of two of them.

"After eating, you will be in groups of two and send all these things to the mansions I told you." Wei Renshi said to the guys at home: "Remember to walk slowly on the road, don't block the things in the basket. If someone is surprised and asks, tell them that I planted them in Weinan, and there are many in Weinan."

In addition to those sent by the guys at home, there is another larger basket, which also contains all kinds of vegetables, but each one needs more. This is what Wei Renshi prepared for Li Shi. The so-called upward and downward effect. If you want people to know the vegetables in the season, Li Shi must show off.

There were many people who sent to Li Shi, and he would definitely invite some important officials. After a while, he knew that there was still a way to eat vegetables in winter.

What is this method? Naturally, I bought it at the farm!

When people arrive at the village, they will naturally see the market. After visiting the market, they will be attracted by the market and discover better things in Weinan.

Wei Renshi asked the servants to set off with their things, and he also walked towards the palace with the vegetables.

There are actually not many types of vegetables in the Tang Dynasty. Especially in winter, even the only wild vegetables that can bring some refreshing food to the three meals are gone. Even if you eat hot pot, most of them are meat. There is no other fresh vegetables except a few slices of cabbage leaves that are almost frozen. By the way, the cabbage at this time is not called cabbage, but is called 白.

Nowadays, the most common vegetables are mostly sunflower, leek, leek, leek, and shepherd. Sunflower means mallow; leek means tender leaves of soybean seedlings; leek means leek; leek means cabbage; shepherd means shepherd's purse.

Then there were Persian grass—spinach—and carrots brought back by Zhang Xu of the Han Dynasty after he went to the Western Regions.

In the Han Dynasty, cow, eggplant and lettuce were introduced from India, which were probably the main vegetables on the Chinese dining table before the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, most of the vegetables or other foods eaten in later generations were mostly introduced from Europe during the Ming Dynasty. After Western ocean ships were brought from America to Europe, they were introduced from Europe to China.

Many fruits or vegetables that can be eaten in later generations were not available at all in this era, so even if the emperor was tired of meat in the winter and wanted to change his taste, he could only eat pickles.

It’s not that there are no off-season vegetables, but they are extremely rare and rare. There are only a few next to a few hot springs. When they are picked, they don’t have time to deliver them to the distance, so they won’t be able to do it.

Every winter, there are some vegetables and vegetables in the palace that grow next to the hot spring, but that is too few. The emperor's family alone is not enough to share, so it is extremely precious. Most of the time, it is used by the emperor to win over the relationship with ministers in the court.

Even Li Song and Li Chun couldn't enjoy a few bites.

Wei Renshi brought the vegetables to the palace and covered the cloth with cloth outside. Then he was reported by the eunuch and carried it into the hall.

Before long, Li Shi came out from behind, saw Wei Renshi, and asked, "Why, Wei Qing has not been at home for the past few days, what else has he brought here?"

Wei Ren fulfilled a tribute and replied, "Your Majesty, I am willing to join the gang and do business with you. I am extremely grateful. Naturally, I must not let Your Majesty down. The first business of the royal family joining the gang is Green Vegetable. Now, it is time to sell Green Vegetables, so I brought some here to let Your Majesty see the quality."

After saying that, Wei Renshi said again: "I have collected the first batch today, and I have sent some to Chang'an to give it to Your Majesty for a fresh meal. Thinking that I am well taken care of by all my uncles on weekdays, I have also sent some to you. This morning I have arranged servants to send them to you, so I have to send them to you. Of course, I have to send them to you here by myself."

"Oh? Lucai! Call me to see!" Li Shi asked with an interesting smile.

Wei Renshi bent down, grabbed the cloth cover outside and pulled it apart, and pulled it apart: "It's all ordinary vegetables, so give your Majesty some freshness."

"Huh?!" Li Shi widened his eyes and looked at the basket of various vegetables in surprise. Then he got up and got off the imperial throne, walked to the basket and bent down to take a look, stretched out his hand and took out one: "Fresh and tight, as if it had just been picked!"

"Yes, it was just picked yesterday afternoon. I got up before dawn today and sent it from the farm." Wei Renshi said to Li Shi.

"This is so strange!" Li Shi pinched the vegetables in his hand with his fingernails in surprise: "I don't know how to farm and melons. This courgette likes warmth and avoids coldest. What is this season? There are hot springs on Wei Qing's farm? Even if it is hot springs, how can it produce so many?"

"Your Majesty, this is the first batch of picks, and there are still many more in the future. And it is only a part of the transported to Chang'an. I don't know how many ministers there are, but I'm afraid there are hundreds of carriages that can be pulled far away." Wei Renshi said to Li Shi.

"So many?" Li Shi was shocked: "This... how could there be so many green vegetables in this winter? Could it be that Wei Qing used the Shizi Xianyao?!"

"Haha, Your Majesty, I suggest you take these green vegetables to the court officials once." Wei Renshi looked at the green vegetables and said, "In this way, the court officials will know and will buy them. As the saying goes, the court officials will buy them, and the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City will follow and inquire and buy them. The business will be good, and the emperor will get more dividends at that time."
