What responded to Li Lizhi's question was Fang Fengzhu's hesitant expression and slightly evasive eyes.
"Um?"
After being startled for a moment, Princess Changle frowned: "Aunt, is it because time and people are not convenient, or... the emperor does not allow the fire kang to be spread?"
Subconsciously, Li Lizhi felt a little unhappy.
As the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, except for the few years when she was young and didn't remember much, she was always held in the palm of someone's hand, and she never got what she wanted... Even if she married into her uncle's house,
The same is true. Fortunately, the education she received from her mother since childhood allowed Li Lizhi to maintain her manners. She didn't even directly ask Fang Fengzhu why, but asked if the emperor's uncle didn't allow it...
After noticing this displeasure, Fang Fengzhu licked his lips and explained helplessly: "No, that's not the case, it's just... Well, in fact, as long as you stay in this room for a day, Princess
Of course I understand! It’s the fire kang in this room. It was only after I talked to the king several times that he reluctantly agreed!"
"Ah? Why?"
After hearing what she said, Li Lizhi was completely confused.
"It's simple, because it's too dry!"
After exhaling softly, Fang Fengzhu said with a wry smile: "This fire kang is indeed very warm when burning, and the craftsmen at home have tried it dozens of times, so there will be no problem with safety, but...
If you stay up there for a long time, your mouth will become dry! So you see, I not only asked them to prepare hot water for everyone, but also put several basins in the house, just to
Let the house not be so dry!"
Under Fang Fengzhu's finger command, the others immediately looked at the corners of the room and some wooden shelves, and sure enough they found several wooden basins filled with water.
"The king said that being too warm is not good for people!"
After a short pause, Fang Fengzhu continued to explain: "Although I don't quite understand why, since the king specifically warned about this matter... ahem, to be honest with you, princess, even our own family members
As for the bedroom, no matter how many times I suggested it, Your Majesty never agreed to have it made. It was just a room that was usually used for recreation."
"That's it..."
After listening to Fang Fengzhu's words, Changle frowned and did not continue to ask.
She has a cautious temperament. Although she can't figure out the reason, she does know that being too warm in winter is bad for people's health. After all, for the powerful, it is not a good idea to make a room warm in winter.
No matter what is too difficult, I have plenty of experience in this area.
But in my heart, I must be thinking about this fire bed.
Many people had asked before, so of course Fang Fengzhu knew what Li Lizhi was thinking at this time, so he could only smile bitterly and said: "Okay, I know everyone thinks this fire kang is very good, it is best to be at home.
Build one, but...can we try it for a few more days? I will ask the king again after I go back to see how harmful it is!"
Looking at the expressions of the people around her, Fang Fengzhu knew that they would not give up this idea. And to her, she really didn't think the disadvantages Li Yuanjia said were very important.
So as soon as he said this, the faces of the people around him immediately became brighter.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ms. Li next to her also greeted with a smile: "Okay, okay, everyone, please sit down quickly, let's start..."
"Mo Hua, prepare more hot water!"
Just when everyone was getting ready to start, Fang Fengzhu, who was a little worried, waved the maid over: "If the cup in front of you is empty, fill it up quickly. Don't forget..."
…
"Snort...ah!"
After taking a sip of hot tea, Li Yuanjia put down the cup and sighed with satisfaction: "Today's weather is the most suitable for eating hot pot..."
Hearing his casual words, Liu Mei, who was waiting next to him, immediately asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to give orders? We just ground some sesame paste the other day and it's fresh!"
"Oh? Haha, let's eat hot pot!"
Li Yuanjia raised his eyebrows and made a decision simply: "But I won't eat mutton today. Let Yu Niang use chicken as a base and prepare some tofu and tofu skin... Well, do you still have any vegetables at home?
"
"Go back to your Majesty, there are some more."
"Well, let's prepare some."
The corner of his mouth twitched twice, and Li Yuanjia gave a helpless order. Then when Chun Yan was about to go out, he stopped her again: "By the way, let Han Lucheng come over, I have something for him to do!
"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Watching Liu Mei leave, Li Yuanjia secretly shook his head.
In the recent period, he has indeed been a little greedy for vegetables - even though he is a prince of the Tang Dynasty, it is still difficult to eat vegetables at the end of October. Fortunately, after coming to this era, Li Yuanjia discovered that,
Cabbage and radish... by the way, they are now called Chinese cabbage and radish. As long as they are stored well, they can survive for a long time. Plus, if you have tea at home, they won't be short of vitamins.
But if you want to have a balanced diet like in summer, don’t even think about it.
and……
Eating too much meat makes you really tired!
"Oh, it would be great if the greenhouse was built now!"
Closing a small notebook in his hand, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but sigh and murmured.
It is really difficult to build a greenhouse with glass. Although the effect is to replace plastic with glass, there should be no difference, and it may even be better, but don't forget how expensive glass is these days.
And that thing is so crispy!
If you want so many vegetables to grow in a big room, how many windows should you install?
Not to mention, it costs dozens of yuan, right?
When he thought that he had to spend tens of thousands of yuan just to have a bite of green vegetables in winter, Li Yuanjia did not dare to let Han Cheng and Chen Mu try regardless of the cost - to be honest, if dozens of pieces of glass were broken along the way, it would be impossible to say that Han Wang Li Yuan
Jia has left a great name in the history of luxury in China...
But the result of being cautious is that the vegetable greenhouse can only wait for next year, and Li Yuanjia can only rely on the vegetables collected in the cellar to survive the winter.
Cabbage, radish, tofu, tofu skin, yuba...
It's okay for a few days, but it gets really boring after a long time.
Just when Li Yuanjia was thinking about being able to eat greenhouse vegetables next year, the housekeeper Han Lucheng trotted in. After saluting, he respectfully asked: "Your Majesty, what are your orders to me?"
"Well, it's a small thing."
Picking up the small notebook on the table, Li Yuanjia nodded and said: "First find someone to copy this thing, and then send it to Taixue and hand it into the hands of Zhang Jianzhi..."
