There are a lot of people in the backyard of the East Palace today!
The crops planted in the garden are harvestable, and the increase in grain output is not large. The ones that stand out are cabbages and radishes.
Taizu was used to calling cabbage and radish that way, so more and more people called them that way.
Cabbage was formerly called Siong, and radish was formerly called radish.
Of course, it’s hard to know exactly when cabbage was called cabbage. However, the book written by Lu You’s grandfather records that rice is also called cabbage. Rice can be cold, wither late, and has pine.
Because of its high quality, it is called rice. Because of its white color, it is commonly called cabbage.
The largest cabbage grown weighed nine pounds.
The Minister of Household Affairs asked: "Concubine, is this enough for one acre?"
It's one acre.
"How much can we produce from this acre?" Emperor Wen Zhao took the machete himself: "Here I am!"
Just as he was about to chop it down, the old minister stopped him, "Cabbage root! Your Majesty, the cabbage root buried underneath cannot be counted!" What a waste! Cabbage root is also a good ingredient!
No! The cabbage root is actually a finger-thick root under the soil. Even if you count it, how much higher can its yield be?
But Emperor Wen Zhao thought that the old minister was right, "Cut it first, Dalang. You brothers will dig out the roots at the back and come out to clean them. They will be weighed later."
The eldest prince responded, and all the princes moved.
Li Sanniang quickly asked someone to fetch water, "I'll wash it, go quickly."
Zheng Yuanniang just wanted to scream, but after thinking for a while she had no words.
But Zuo said: "Second sister-in-law, don't bother me." Then she pointed to the baskets stacked in the corner, "Just put them in the basket and rinse them in the pond."
Li Sanniang blushed instantly: "...I'm afraid that the concubine's pond will be dirty."
Xiao Wu said impatiently: "The fish raised there are the same as the fish in the river at the entrance of your village! If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and we don't care about a little more mud!"
Xiao Si pulled Xiao Wu, what are you doing?
Nothing! Just... Why are you so careful?
Xiaosi called Li Yan: "You can pick up the basket, we can't carry it."
Li Yan followed the three consorts to pick up a basket each. In the end, he was stunned and picked up seven or eight baskets of cabbage roots. They washed them clean and put them on a high place to control the water.
When the cabbage was finished and weighed, it was 3,232 kilograms.
If the cabbage root is weighed like this, it will weigh more than 200 kilograms.
The total weight is 3,500 kilograms.
An Ran pulled off a piece of cabbage leaf and showed it to the Queen, "Look! There's not a single insect eye. This kind of big leaf is not delicious, but if it's pickled, it's especially delicious. Usually, the cabbage grown at home is better than the cabbage grown outside.
The leaves are all eaten by insects. If it weren't for someone who was really helpless, the vegetable leaves would have been fed to the chickens and ducks. Isn't it strange that the ones planted by Princess Chu don't grow insects?"
The Queen knew that the vegetables grown there, Tongtong sprayed them with water every two days, and there were no insects. However, the spraying tools were not good, and there were some traces of pesticides on the cabbage. Now they cannot be seen on the cabbage.
It was because it had rained before and everything was washed away.
As for radish, the yield of radish is more than 1,800 jins, and the radish tassels are close to 1,000 jins.
As soon as the output came out, the officials knelt on the ground and shouted, 'Long live, long live, long live, long live!'
Emperor Wen Zhao was speechless and kept searching among the cabbages and radishes, "I just picked them out! The one I just picked out... those ones..."
Here! Here!
The Queen quickly handed over the two baskets and said, "Here, they are all put away."
There were cabbages in one basket and radishes in the other. There were the largest ones, the smallest ones, and the middle ones. He stuffed the two baskets into Han Zongdao's hands.
He said to Lin Keyong, "Carry it on your back and let's go! Go to the Fengxian Palace."
Han Zongdao handed the lighter radish basket to Link, then he carried the cabbage basket and left, with Link following closely behind. The three of them hurriedly disappeared from the backyard.
The queen then sighed: "Let's all get back together! This is a great event. The Holy Spirit has gone up to inform me and the late emperor."
Yes! Emperor Wen Zhao knelt down in the Fengxian Hall and cried loudly: "Uncle, look...what you said is true! You said that vegetables weighed thousands of kilograms, but now it has really happened! You said that if vegetables and fruits
If there are no insects, the yield will naturally increase. It's a pity that I don't know how to do it... You saw it, and now all the descendants of our family have done it! They have all done it! Uncle, look at it!"
After saying that, he pulled Link to use, "Uncle, it was Tongtong who made it. I told you that our family may have done something to give birth to a girl like Tongtong...Uncle! It's all you."
His descendants!"
Then he shouted: "Ji Shi... Ji Shi... The good things that Prince Si Lang has done are all due to you! Now, you and Youyi have become in-laws..."
Han Zongdao said hurriedly: "Brother...it's not too sad!"
Emperor Wen Zhao choked even more, finally holding back his tears, kowtowed and stood up, but asked the two of them to carry the basket, "Let's go! Take the basket, let's go to the imperial mausoleum. Today, my uncles and I will eat this."
Then the three people really ran out of the palace!
Xiao Yun whispered to the fourth master: "We are going to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum! I have no intention to follow, but your highness..."
Let's go then! Everyone is following behind, rushing to the imperial mausoleum.
The five of them said it was pretty good, but so many people came to join in the fun.
Han Maojie waved to Fourth Master and Tongtong to come over, and then pointed to the tomb where Taizu and Queen Mother were buried together: "Go and kowtow! Tell Taizu that his descendants have preserved the country of Dachen! Go!"
Fourth Master and Tongtong are full of complicated feelings. They have experienced a lot, but after they leave, can they really be like Taizu, who has a bad life after leaving?
Descendants of Taizu?
Okay! He is his descendant. Today, as his descendant, I respectfully bow to him.
The two stood in front of the tombstone one behind the other and bowed respectfully.
When I came to the imperial mausoleum this time, on the one hand, there was such a thing, and on the other hand, Emperor Wen Zhao also wanted to tell the two old princes about the next step. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to leave.
The fourth master left with several princes, but the queen stayed in front of the tomb and called Zheng Yuanniang, "Go and get some water!"
yes!
The queen was scrubbing the tombstones of her elders with her own hands. Although they had always been kept very clean, the queen still scrubbed them with her own hands.
The princes, concubines and princesses didn't know what to do.
The Queen then said, "Use those vegetables to make some dishes and serve them! Come on, I want to talk to the Queen Mother."
yes!
After retreating, Li Sanniang said hurriedly: "I'll go wash the vegetables."
Zheng Yuanniang said: "Second younger brother and sister——"
Tongtong smiled and said: "It's okay, Second Sister-in-law, I'll help you."
Xiaowu rolled his eyes at Li Sanniang, who tilted his head and came out.
Xiao Si poked Xiao Wu: "Don't do this, the more timid you become, the more timid she will be."
"The queen mother gave her a nanny, but she didn't take it with her when she went out. I don't even think about why the queen gave her a nanny. Could the queen mother harm her?"
After Li Sanniang was cleaned and brought over, she realized that something was wrong, because except for the concubine, the other princes, concubines and princesses had not moved anywhere.
Zhao Defeng said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, you just don't know the rules. This has always been a matter of worshiping the clan's wife. The prince inherits the throne, and the princess will be the future clan's wife of the royal family."
Li Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and her face turned pale. Just as she was about to kneel down, she heard the concubine shouting: "Sister-in-law, help me peel some garlic."
Zheng Yuanniang just left.
"Second sister-in-law, boil some hot water and blanch some radish leaves."
Ah? Hey - here it comes!
"Third sister-in-law, peel the carrot!"
Coming!
…
Just this little thing, everyone is bossing around.
Xiaowu said, "Can't we throw away this carrot skin?"
If you don't throw it away, you'll go back and pick up the radish skin.
Li Sanniang saw the princess talking with a smile, and then the knife skills were really amazing! The radish was cut into fine shreds and soaked in water. In the end, the spicy taste of the radish was gone.
Cold shredded radish, minced radish leaves with minced garlic, radish balls, and braised radish skin.
After that, there are four staple dishes: wheat rice with radish tassels, radish meatballs, radish steamed buns, and a steamed cabbage roll.
Now that these are out of the pot, it will be nice to have another pimple soup with the green leaves on the outside of the cabbage.
The offering table was first carried to offer sacrifices. In line with the principle of not wasting, it had to be taken down for future generations to eat.
Emperor Wen Zhao looked around the table, then at his daughters-in-law, and finally his eyes fell on Tongtong, "Have all the ingredients been used?"
Yes! Nothing was wasted.
"What else did you hook up with?"
Tongtong said: "Three kilograms of flour, one garlic...the onions are wild onions, and there are wild onions everywhere on the roadside, and two ounces of soybean oil." "Is it okay to use grains? What if I don't need oil?"
Not very tasty, but ok.
Emperor Wen Zhao asked the two old princes to use it first. They raised their chopsticks and used it. It was refreshing and surprisingly delicious.
Use them all!
Li Sanniang sat next to Erlang, raised her chopsticks and took a bite, then paused. She was very nervous, the life of the royal family... was really not easy.
I don't understand anything outside, I only know a few words. I just know some needlework and some kitchen skills.
But you can’t make the home-cooked cabbage and radish taste like this.
Xiaosi pointed to the wheat rice with radish tassels: "This is actually not bad, give me another bowl."
Liu Siniang said boldly, "It won't take away the hunger."
An ordered the dishes on the table: "The dishes can't be too delicious! If they are too delicious, they will eat more and waste food! If you are doing physical work, this will not work! If you are a woman... Actually, it won't
Hungry."
That solves half of the problem.
Li Sanniang mustered up her courage and said: "Farmers, melons and vegetables are enough for half a year. With some wild vegetables, we can survive for another half a year. The concubine is so good at planting. If every yard can harvest three thousand kilograms, it will be enough."
It’s really a blessing.” She spoke with a vibrato.
Erlang picked up vegetables for her and encouraged her to talk, "I'm afraid chickens and ducks will eat them in the garden..."
"No! Those who grow vegetables will naturally pay close attention to it." As she said this, she looked up at everyone, and found that everyone at the table was listening very carefully, and they didn't mean anything condescending.
The queen smiled and said: "I haven't heard these words for a long time. Come to the palace later and tell me these things!"
Li Sanniang looked at Erlang carefully, and Erlang nodded encouragingly, and she immediately responded happily.
Emperor Wen Zhao said to Erlang, "Come tomorrow, take your wife back home to show you around." As he said that, he gave Erlang a meaningful look.
Understand! This is asking me to go through the landlords in the suburbs of Beijing one by one!
This shows that the father has made up his mind, and a big move is just around the corner!
