Chapter 168 Don't Eat From Time to Time?
Li Kuan returned to the palace after coming out of Tai Chi Palace.
Li Kuan was the eldest in the Prince of Chu's palace. As long as Li Shimin didn't call him into the palace, no one would care what Li Kuan wanted to do.
So sometimes, Li Kuan quite likes to stay in the palace.
No, before reaching the door, I saw Qing'er standing there looking around from a distance, waiting for Li Kuan to return home.
"Your Majesty, you are back. Your Majesty didn't give you any trouble, right?"
This is what Qing'er, who was spoiled by Li Kuan, dared to say.
"What are you thinking about? Let's go back home."
"The food has been prepared in the kitchen. Should Qing'er give you a bath first or finish the meal?"
"Let's take a bath first."
…
Compared with Li Kuan's treatment after returning home, Fang Yiai was much unlucky.
"Auntie, I won't dare to do it next time. I won't do it next time."
Fang Yiai held her head in her hands and kept running around the house. Mrs. Fang chased after her with a broom in her hand.
"Next time? Do you still want a next time? Do you want to piss me off to death?"
Mrs. Fang threw the broom away, put her hands on her hips, pointed at Fang Yiai and cursed.
"Ahem!"
"You said you wanted to go to Dengzhou. Tell me, why did you run away secretly?"
"Ahem!"
"It's so dangerous to go to sea. Why are you so stupid?"
"Ahem!"
""Ahem, what are you talking about? Do you think I'm deaf? Fang Qiao, Erlang became like this because you, the father, didn't educate you well."
As soon as Fang Xuanling returned to the house, she saw Fang Yiai being chased and beaten. She wanted to remind her that she was back, but that was almost enough.
result……
"Grandpa, His Highness the King of Chu asked me to bring back one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Seeing Fang Xuanling back, Fang Yiai felt as if she had seen a savior and quickly changed the subject.
"What one hundred thousand taels of silver?" Mrs. Fang was stunned for a moment, "When you just entered the door, you said you would send the silver to the warehouse. Could it be that there are so many boxes on the carriage that are filled with silver?"
"Auntie, I'll tell you if you promise not to hit me."
Although Mrs. Fang had no power to restrain a chicken, she firmly controlled Fang Yiai, who was extremely powerful.
"You... do you like to talk or not!"
Seeing how stupid her stupid son was, Mrs. Fang was also angry and annoyed.
I have already thrown away the broom, so why not pick it up again and chase it again?
"I love you, go to my father's study and say it."
…
Su Guogong Mansion.
Cheng Chumo was first dragged to the school field by Cheng Yaojin to "test" whether his skills had improved, and then with panda eyes he explained to Cheng Yaojin what happened after arriving in Dengzhou.
"Brother, eat slowly!"
Cheng Chumo, who finally succeeded in overcoming the tribulation, was almost starving.
"Third sister, tell me, grandpa, he arranged for me to go to Dengzhou. I went to the Japanese country and brought home one hundred thousand taels of silver, but he still wanted to beat me up in the name of testing my skills."
Cheng Yaojin was biting a big leg of lamb while talking to Cheng Jingwen.
"Who asked you to risk your life to go to the Japanese country? Few people in the entire Tang Dynasty have been to the Japanese country, but you didn't even say a word and ran away with the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty."
"Hey, let me tell you, going to sea is not as dangerous as you think. His Royal Highness the King of Chu has made a new type of flying shear boat, which is fast and stable. As long as it does not encounter a hurricane, there is no danger at all.
"
"Having said this, besides you yourself, who else will believe it?"
Cheng Jingwen curled her lips, knowing that what her elder brother said was unreliable.
"Why are you lying to me? Isn't His Royal Highness the King of Chu more noble? He also went to sea."
Hearing Cheng Chumo mention the King of Chu, Cheng Jingwen picked up her chopsticks and picked out a big chicken leg, "Brother, you must be hungry. Come on, eat more."
"Third sister, I've never seen you be so kind to my eldest brother in the past, but today you actually took the initiative to pick up some food for me. It's because the sun is coming out from the west."
Cheng Chumo glanced at it suspiciously.
"Brother, what are you talking about? You are my eldest brother. Of course I will treat you well." Cheng Jingwen's face turned red. "Brother, tell me what happened when you went to sea with His Highness King Chu?"
…
After taking a hot bath and changing into dry clothes, Li Kuan felt much more comfortable.
"Oh, tonight is very rich."
Li Kuan saw a table full of big fish and meat, and dozens of dishes filled the table.
"I saw that the prince had lost weight, so I asked the kitchen to prepare more meat."
Qing'er said while picking up vegetables for Li Kuan.
Mutton, pork, chicken, duck, venison... but why is there only one kind of vegetable?
Li Kuan, who had acquired "Elementary Agricultural Skills", couldn't help but think more when he saw the table full of dishes.
"Qing'er, this sunflower dish tastes good. It seems to be available all year round."
While Li Kuan was eating, he learned about the situation.
Li Kuan really didn't know much about the agricultural situation in Datang, especially the aspect related to vegetables.
He only knew that potatoes, tomatoes and other things were introduced during the Ming Dynasty, but it was not clear in which dynasty other vegetables first appeared.
I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now I think about it carefully, and I find that I have never eaten Chinese cabbage, which is often eaten by later generations. I can only see Chinese cabbage, which is somewhat similar to Chinese cabbage. It seems that this should be Chinese cabbage.
Ancestor.
"Your Majesty, sunflower can be grown all year round. In the summer, okra is picked in autumn (not the okra you see in the market today). In autumn, mallow is picked in winter. In the first month, spring sunflower is planted again.
So you can eat it all year round.”
"Your Majesty, sunflower is the most important vegetable in the Tang Dynasty. Whether it is ordinary people's homes or the homes of princes and nobles, you can basically see this dish, but everyone's cooking methods are slightly different."
Although she didn't know why Li Kuan suddenly became interested in sunflower vegetables, Zixia still added softly to the side.
"Can we eat this sunflower vegetable in the middle of winter? How come I remember eating winter mutton in Liangzhou last winter?"
Qing'er: "You can eat it in early winter before it snows, but after it snows, sunflower seeds won't survive, so naturally there will be no vegetables to eat."
Zixia: "I heard that there are some hot spring palaces on Lishan Mountain where vegetables can be grown in late winter for the nobles of Tai Chi Palace to eat. Ordinary families cannot eat vegetables in the cold winter."
“Isn’t anyone trying to figure out how to grow some vegetables in the winter?”
Li Kuan thought of the out-of-season vegetables that would fill the streets in later generations, but now he couldn't even find them.
Even Prince Li Kuan could only eat meat in the winter, and the only vegetable included was radish, which was later known as radish.
"According to the "Book of Han·Zhao Xinchen Biography", winter-grown onions, leeks, and mushrooms were planted in the Taiguan Garden and covered with roofs. A warm fire was lit day and night to grow vegetables when the weather was warm. Therefore, in fact, growing vegetables in winter was not a problem in the Han Dynasty.
It has already happened, but the Xian Sheng said: Don’t eat from time to time.”
Wang Xuance read a lot of books, which gave Li Kuan a lot of knowledge.
Isn’t this just greenhouse cultivation?
Did it exist in the Han Dynasty?
