Chapter 154 The Lu family revealed its flaws under Queen Ma’s temptation
It's another sunny day.
The sunny day at this time is not hot, and the sun warms people's bodies.
In the Chunhe Palace, at this time, it can truly be called the spring and scenery of a lifetime.
Many places are beautifully decorated and repaired in a leisurely and elegant way.
At first glance, these are the contributions of the crown prince's concubine Lu.
Except for a person like her who comes from a scholarly family and has some romantic feelings, the Crown Prince and Concubine Chang will not do these things.
She only likes to dance with guns and sticks, and bend bows and shoot arrows.
The large school ground behind Chunhe Palace was her work.
For this school ground, the crown prince's concubine Lu had long looked down upon it.
I think it’s really too disgraceful!
In this Chunhe Palace, it's like a donkey wandering into the sheepfold, out of place!
Only vulgar people will like these!
In her opinion, a woman should read and practice calligraphy like her, be able to compose poems, understand articles, play the piano, paint, and be a prostitute. This is a woman.
Crown Princess Chang's kind, she's just a rough girl and can't be put on the stage!
"Tuk!"
"Tuk!"
"Tuk!"
He heard three shots in succession, and the three feathered arrows hit the target a hundred steps away without missing a beat.
Every arrow hits the red heart.
Crown Princess Chang was in high spirits. Holding a bow and arrow, she had an aura that she had never seen before.
It was as if the whole person became vivid at this moment.
"Okay! Okay! Sister is such a good shot!
A general who can cross the Yangtze River with a hundred steps is no more than my sister! ”
Mrs. Lu suppressed the disgust and contempt in her heart, clapped her hands and cheered loudly.
There was excitement in his voice.
It sounds like she is particularly proud of Crown Princess Chang for hitting the bull's-eye one after another.
When Mrs. Chang heard Mrs. Lu's praise, a smile appeared on her face and she was in high spirits.
However, he still waved his hand and said: "This little shooting skill is nothing.
At my level, I am far behind the generals who can defeat the enemy at a hundred steps. I can't even compare with my second brother-in-law.
My second brother-in-law’s archery skills are much better than mine. ”
The last time Crown Princess Chang followed Zhu Biao to Shuangshui Village, she saw Mei Yin's archery skills.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
In the eyes of others, she was quite accurate in archery, but she could see that she was still a step behind compared to her second brother-in-law.
"My second brother-in-law is so good at archery? Can he surpass my sister?"
Lu asked in surprise.
Mrs. Chang nodded and said: "That's true. The second brother-in-law is very talented! He is very capable and does many things very well.
Not only is he good at archery, he is also very good at cooking.
It was obviously a very simple ingredient, but it became completely different in his hands. ”
Speaking of her second brother-in-law Mei Yin, Mrs. Chang was full of praise.
The last time she went to Shuangshui Village, Mei Yin's excellence left a deep impression on her.
"Otherwise, why do you think our second sister is so enamored of our second brother-in-law?
These are all for a reason. ”
Chang said with some teasing.
When she mentioned her second sister, Princess Zhu Yourong of Ningguo, Chang's eyes were filled with smiles.
With some pampering.
As a sister-in-law, she has a really good relationship with her sister-in-law.
"Is that so? Now that I have time, I really want to go to Shuangshui Village to meet my second sister and my second brother-in-law, and I also want to try my second brother-in-law's craftsmanship."
Lu said with a smile.
However, even though he said so, he was actually not convinced by it in his heart.
If Mei Yin was said to be very capable in archery and could surpass Chang, she still believed it.
After all, no matter what, Chang is just a female. Compared with men in archery, there is a certain gap.
Besides, she would only be happy to see that Chang could be surpassed by more people.
But when Mrs. Chang said that Mei Yin's cooking was delicious, she felt a little unconvinced.
In her opinion, it is not too much for a man to know how to cook.
And she has worked hard on cooking. She is smart and has good hands.
Very few people can surpass the dishes they make.
As a result, Mrs. Chang, a stupid woman, actually praised Mei Yin's delicious cooking in front of her.
This suddenly aroused her competitive spirit.
He felt that this was Chang's intention to say this.
I want to use Mei Yin to suppress her in front of her!
This made her feel extremely uncomfortable and unconvinced.
What she said was that she wanted to try Mei Yin's craftsmanship in the future.
In fact, he wanted to see how Mei Yin's level differed from his own.
She didn't believe that Mei Yin's cooking skills could really surpass hers!
Most of the descendants of these princely families put their minds into reading, practicing martial arts and other things.
Even if it is not used for this, it is still used for drinking wine, visiting brothels, etc.
Who will work on this?
From now on, after eating Mei Yin's food, I can confirm that this guy Chang is messing around.
I want to use this method to defeat myself!
It can only be said that Lu's poor self-esteem is causing trouble everywhere.
There is always a feeling that there are always unscrupulous people trying to harm her.
It seemed that everything others said and did was aimed at her.
The whole world seems to be against her.
It can only be said that there is too much inner drama.
But even if it weren't for this incident, Lu would still find an opportunity to go to Shuangshui Village to see Mei Yin in the future.
She has been very curious about Mei Yin lately!
Because she had already learned something from the Crown Prince.
For example, what has recently become famous and caused a sensation in Yingtianfu City is that the colored glaze displayed in Lingxi Pavilion was actually made by the second brother-in-law, Mei Yin!
And when the prince mentioned this glass, he was also full of praise.
I told you how beautiful the glass is.
This made her extremely curious, what kind of person he was, who could know so many things!
It's amazing that he made that useful soap.
As a result, he was able to produce colored glaze!
How did his heart grow?
Of course, besides being curious, she still wanted to have a good relationship with her second brother-in-law and her sister-in-law, Zhu Yourong.
Ever since I learned that the soap and colored glaze were made by this second brother-in-law.
She took it seriously.
How profitable soap is and how profitable Liuli is, she can know without asking her.
From now on, this second brother-in-law will have so much money!
And now that she has given birth, she wants to climb up.
He also wanted to make his son an emperor.
Then this matter requires people's support.
In addition to support from people, you also need money.
This second brother-in-law seems to be a good moneymaker.
A real big fat pig.
If she can make good friends with him, she can get some money from him in the future.
That was really great for her.
If we can get his full support in the future.
Backed by so much money.
When you do something here, you will become smoother and more confident.
Lu was still confident about whether he could do this.
After all, her identity is on display here.
Although she is only a concubine, she is still a sister-in-law in name only.
More importantly, she is very confident in some of her skills.
I feel that with my own abilities, I am also blessed by my identity.
Even if you can't take down Mei Yin for a while, let Mei Yin be obedient and support her.
That would at least create a big friendship.
As long as you have this good start, many things will be easier to do next. exist.
While Chang was still here, it was impossible for her to get too much from Mei Yin.
But as long as I have this good feeling and friendship, I will replace Chang and become the crown prince's concubine in the future.
Many things will fall into place due to this.
I believe that Mei Yin will be able to make a good choice by then...
"Haha, your archery skills are getting better and better."
It was at this time that laughter rang out.
Without looking back, just by listening to the voice, Chang and Lu immediately knew who was coming.
It was their mother-in-law, Queen Ma.
After hearing this voice, Chang, who was holding a bow just now and looking so heroic, suddenly felt a hint of shame on his face.
He hurried towards Empress Ma to greet her.
Salute to Queen Ma and say hello.
Then he said: "Mother, why are you here? My daughter-in-law makes you laugh."
Mrs. Lu also followed suit and saluted Queen Ma.
She saw Chang's current reaction and was happy in her heart.
As long as she can see Chang's deflation, she will be in a good mood.
Empress Ma laughed when she heard this and said: "Why are you laughing? You love archery, dancing with swords and sticks, then keep doing it.
It doesn't matter if you practice more, you can also strengthen your body.
Our family is different from other families in that we don’t have so many rules.
Besides, many of these things are taken care of by the people below.
You don't need to worry too much.
People must have a hobby, otherwise they will inevitably become too depressed for decades in life. ”
Queen Ma is quite open-minded in this regard.
After listening to Queen Ma's words, Mrs. Chang smiled happily and agreed.
Mrs. Chang was watching this and couldn't help but sneer secretly.
This Chang family member is so stupid, too naive, and stupid!
What Queen Ma just said was clearly dissatisfied with her.
Moreover, it was just a polite way of saying something.
But she took it seriously, it was so ridiculous!
If it were me, I would definitely change this vulgar habit!
From now on, I will never use a bow and arrow again, nor will I wield a sword or a gun again.
Everything must be done to please the emperor and queen.
As a result, Mrs. Chang was so stupid that she believed it was true.
All I can say is that this guy is lucky because he has a father who has made great achievements in battle.
Otherwise, she just wants to be a stable crown princess.
It’s simply wishful thinking!
After speaking for a few words with the Crown Princess Chang and the concubine Lu.
Queen Ma looked to the side.
I saw a movable crib under the not too thick shade of the tree.
The person sleeping inside was the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Xiongying was lying on the baby's bed. Sleeping soundly and soundly.
Queen Ma walked up to her and saw her eldest grandson sleeping with great fondness.
But when I think about the future of my eldest grandson Zhu Xiongying, there is another layer of gloom in my heart.
At the same time, my mind has become more determined!
Such a good grandson must not have any accidents!
We must let him grow up healthy and healthy!
No one is allowed to hurt him!
Thinking in his mind, he sat here and chatted quietly with Crown Princess Chang and his concubine Lu.
After talking for a while, Queen Ma brought the topic to smallpox without leaving any trace.
Talk about the horror of smallpox.
Then he looked at Lu and said: "By the way, Lan'er, I remember that you seemed to have encountered smallpox before, right?
Queen Ma looked at the inquiry indifferently. In fact, at this time, she had secretly raised her mind.
Waiting for Lu's answer.
She did not know whether Lu had ever experienced smallpox.
But at this time, it didn't stop her from asking.
If Lu Lan really survived smallpox, then she would have settled the matter.
If Mrs. Lu had never experienced it, then she would just laugh about it and say that she remembered it wrong.
It can be uncovered very easily.
Originally this was just chatting, but who would have thought that her chatting would contain such temptation?
And this temptation is extremely fatal to the concubine Lu!
Hearing what Empress Ma said, Lu, who thought she was shrewd, did not realize the huge crisis contained in it, targeting her.
She nodded with a heavy face and said: "Mother and daughter-in-law did experience a smallpox before.
My daughter-in-law was only in her teens at that time.
That time was really bad.
It turns out that the daughter-in-law is also a member of a large family, with two older brothers, one younger brother, and a mother.
But after that smallpox epidemic, my mother passed away, my two brothers also passed away, and my younger brother also passed away...
Originally, He and Meimei’s big family, only my father and I were left to depend on each other..."
Speaking of this painful past, the concubine Lu couldn't help but shed tears.
The whole person looked extremely painful.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chang took out a handkerchief and handed it to her to wipe her tears.
The other hand held Lu's hand.
He comforted him: "Sister, this is a natural disaster.
Smallpox is too ferocious, killing people and destroying countless others.
Countless people have lost their lives because of it.
It has happened to many people.
Sister, this matter is over, and I will enjoy happiness from now on..."
Hearing Chang's comfort, Lu's eyes turned red while she nodded and shed more tears.
On the one hand, this incident indeed aroused pain in my heart.
On the other hand, I also want to show myself to be weaker through such things.
Let Queen Ma, the mother-in-law, feel more sorry for herself.
This will help improve your status in the future.
It is also better to gain Chang's sympathy.
Lu knew that people often cannot act too strong.
If you are too strong, many people will subconsciously care less about you.
Only by showing appropriate weakness at the right time can you live better.
This is something she has done repeatedly.
However, she didn't know that the weakness she showed this time by taking advantage of the smallpox incident was of no use to Queen Ma.
On the contrary, it had the opposite effect.
At this time, Queen Ma, after listening to what Lu said,
The whole person couldn't help but be shocked!
This Lu family actually experienced smallpox before!
But at this time, she was standing here calmly.
From here we can know that she is also the kind of person who survived smallpox.
The most likely possibility is that, like Chongba, he is the kind of person who will not get smallpox at all!
After all, after getting smallpox, it will basically leave more or less pockmarks on the face.
But Lu's face was smooth and smooth, without any pockmarks.
Besides, it’s okay to take concubines and enjoy sex.
Lu is essentially a concubine.
Taking her into his side was not just about his knowledge.
More importantly, he liked her appearance.
If she had a pockmarked face, there was no way she could become the crown prince's concubine no matter what!
In that case, some things are right!
Mrs. Lu is really not afraid of smallpox!
Then she can use smallpox to harm Xiongying in the future, and a necessary condition has been met!
The more she thought about it, the more doubts Empress Ma had about Lu.
Because according to what she knew, Lu had a strong motive for doing this.
At this time, these conditions for getting started can still be met.
So, the eldest daughter-in-law died of childbirth, and the child Xiongying contracted smallpox, it was probably Lu who did it!
At this moment, Queen Ma became more and more serious towards Lu.
Naturally, she would not arbitrarily believe that Lu would do these things in the future.
However, she will definitely pay close attention to Lu in the future.
Watch her actions and reactions on important matters.
Be on guard against the slightest change!
For someone like Queen Ma who controls the harem, if she really gets serious about this matter, she will have some thoughts.
If Lu makes any rash moves in the future, he will definitely be doomed and cannot be hidden from her!
Queen Ma was thinking this in her heart, but there was no trace of it on the surface.
He took Lu's other hand, stretched out one hand, and patted her back gently.
He said: "You are also a poor child, but this matter has passed.
The days to come will definitely get better and better,
We will not let you suffer any further injustice..."
Feeling Queen Ma's love and affection for him, he also heard these words from Queen Ma.
The crown prince's concubine Lu was extremely proud.
I secretly admired my own cleverness.
This means that I have a very strong ability to adapt to situations.
To be able to do such a thing at this time.
Queen Rama and others, who seize every opportunity and leave no trace, have good feelings and sympathy for themselves.
Now I have taken another step towards success.
When these good feelings accumulate to a certain level, something can be done!
The more I think about it, the more proud I feel.
I feel that I can definitely replace Chang as the Crown Princess in the future...
……
Shuangshui Village.
At this time, Mei Yin once again went down to the ground with a hoe.
Weeding here and checking out the sweet potatoes.
After this period of growth, the sweet potato vines have grown thicker.
Some of them had slight cracks in the soil at their roots.
Through this crack, people can see the roots below that are much larger than ordinary crops.
At this moment, Mei Yin finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He walked over with a hoe, bent down and held the vine at the base of a sweet potato plant, and pulled it up directly with his hands.
Two sweet potatoes as thick as fingers came out from the roots.
His sudden move made Princess Ning Guo look a little stunned.
"Husband, you... why did you take it out?"
She looked very puzzled. After all, before this, my husband was quite concerned about this thing that he had never seen before.
When weeding, I was afraid of hurting them.
But now, it was pulled out directly?
This is really surprising!
Mei Yin laughed when he heard this and said: "I saw that the soil at the root was cracked, and the rhizome below was not small, so I pulled it out to see what it looked like.
See if the root is delicious.
After all, some things don't eat leaves.
Just like lotus roots, the most delicious ones are the ones below..."
As Mei Yin spoke, he picked up the hoe and pointed it at the place where he had pulled out the sweet potatoes, and began to dig the soil.
For sweet potatoes, it is impossible to pull out all the sweet potatoes growing underneath just by pulling out the vines.
There's bound to be some sweet potatoes down there.
Go down with a hoe and turn over the soil.
Three more fist-sized sweet potatoes were pulled out from here.
There are also some small sweet potatoes, no bigger than a pinky finger.
Normally speaking, the size of sweet potatoes will definitely not be just this small.
This is Mei Yin's way of proving that sweet potatoes are delicious.
There is a legitimate reason to quickly expand the sweet potato planting area.
Otherwise, he would be reluctant to peel sweet potatoes at this time.
"Ah! So big!
Husband! So big!
Its roots are so big? ”
Seeing the sweet potatoes dug out by Mei Yin, Princess Ningguo said in surprise.
Surprised with some joy.
Xiaochan also looked very happy.
Together with Princess Ningguo, we squatted here to study the dug sweet potatoes.
Mei Yin looked at it carefully, then picked up one and broke it in the middle.
The slightly ginger interior is exposed.
The sweet potatoes provided by this system are still red sweet potatoes!
The sugar content of this red sweet potato is definitely relatively high.
Next, many people in Ming Dynasty will be blessed!
Mei Yin thought for a moment, then went to the edge again, pulled up two sweet potato plants one after another, and dug them up.
Got a few more fist-sized sweet potatoes.
There are also some small sweet potatoes.
And this time, I was even more surprised. One of the sweet potatoes was actually a purple potato!
Mei Yin originally thought that the sweet potatoes provided by the system were just one variety.
Who would have thought that there would be more than one!
Now I just dug three sweet potato plants. There are two varieties.
I'm afraid it's very possible that there are other types of sweet potatoes out there.
That would be better.
Although this admonishment system is quite pitiful sometimes.
But in many cases, it is quite generous.
Mei Yin picked up the sweet potato that he had broken just now.
He took out the dagger from his pocket and peeled off the skin.
He looked around, as if he was studying it, and then he was about to put it in his mouth.
Seeing this, Princess Ningguo hurriedly said: "Husband, it's better not to eat yet.
Let’s try it with the chicken at home first. If it’s not poisonous, we can eat it again.
This is a new thing after all,
It would be bad if it were poisonous. ”
Mei Yin knew that this was her daughter-in-law's concern for her.
He immediately said: "Okay, just do it, you still have to think carefully."
As he spoke, he used a dagger to cut off a little bit from it and said: "I'll taste it first, just this little bit, even if it's poisonous, it doesn't matter.
Even if many things are poisonous, they will only cause harm to people after reaching a certain amount.
If it's just that little bit different, even if it's poisonous, it won't be a big problem.
Moreover, our leaves have eaten a lot of this stuff, but we haven’t seen any improvement.
It is unlikely to be toxic. ”
As he spoke, he put a piece the size of a fingernail into his mouth.
Chew gently.
Suddenly, a sweet and familiar taste of sweet potato filled my mouth.
“This thing is quite delicious!”
Mei Yin said in surprise.
Some of these surprises are staged, but many are real surprises.
Because the sweet potatoes provided by this system seemed to taste better after they were grown than those he would eat in later generations.
However, in order not to worry her little wife, Mei Yin chewed and then spit out the small pieces of sweet potato that she had put into her mouth.
He took the water bag from Xiaochan's hand and rinsed his mouth.
After digging the sweet potatoes, Mei Yin stopped weeding the fields.
Returned to the yard with the sweet potato vines and sweet potatoes.
After returning home, I got some sweet potatoes to feed the chickens.
At this time, Mei Yin raised five chickens at home.
One rooster and four hens.
One of the flower hens has already begun to nest in the nest.
Mei Yin replaced twenty eggs from Murakami and let them hatch.
Of course, these twenty eggs are all specially selected eggs.
If it were not a hatching egg, it would not be able to hatch a chick.
In later generations, it will be quite easy to identify whether it is a hatching egg.
In later generations, there were strong-light flashlights. In a relatively dark room, one would hold the egg in one hand and place it on top with the other hand to block some light.
Just put it in front of a strong flashlight and take a photo like this.
The eggs will appear translucent.
If you can see a small round pit inside the larger end of the egg, then it is a hatching egg.
Without this small round pit, the old hen would not be able to hatch.
In this era, there are no bright flashlights, but there are still ways to identify hatching eggs.
A simple way is to do it on a sunny day when the sunlight is relatively strong.
All the doors and windows were closed.
Leave only a small gap in the door.
When people are in the house, they squat behind the door and bring the hatching egg to the crack of the door, covering it with their hands to look at it.
It can also tell whether it is a hatching egg.
The old hen has been holding this clutch of eggs for five days.
In about half a month, the chicks will hatch.
It usually takes twenty-one days for a chick to hatch.
There is an easy-to-remember formula here - chicken, chicken, twenty-one, duck, duck, twenty-eight.
After Mei Yin came back, she chopped up some small sweet potatoes and made them into small cubes for the chickens to eat.
When they saw something to eat, except for the nesting one, all the others ran over.
The old rooster was still cuckling there, calling for the hens to come and enjoy the feast.
Obviously this was food given to them by Mei Yin, but looking at the old rooster's behavior at this time, it looked like it had discovered it.
Soon, these chickens were eaten quickly.
Very cheerful.
After that, Mei Yin got some sweet potatoes and fed them to the rabbits raised at home.
Although this rabbit has never eaten sweet potatoes before.
But after Mei Yin gave them the sweet potato, they all ate it quickly, looking very happy.
Princess Ningguo was more cautious in order to handle things.
That night, the chickens were still fed with sweet potatoes.
Only this time, according to Mei Yin's suggestion, the chicken was fed with steamed sweet potatoes.
The steamed sweet potatoes have a mellow taste. When you open the lid of the pot, you can still smell the sweetness filling the air.
When Princess Ning Guo fed these steamed sweet potatoes to the chickens, she couldn't help but swallowed secretly.
I had to endure it not to eat it, but to give it to the chickens.
On the second day, Princess Ningguo got up early in the morning.
Go and watch the chickens and rabbits in action.
When doing this, Princess Ningguo was filled with excitement and strong expectations.
Because she felt that her husband might come up with something terrible again!
Mei Yin also followed suit.
In fact, even without watching, Mei Yin could tell that these things were still alive and kicking.
After all, these were sweet potatoes, and he ate them frequently in later generations.
But since it’s acting, you have to act more realistically...
"Husband, this thing... seems to be really not poisonous."
After watching carefully, Princess Ningguo looked at Mei Yin and said.
Mei Yin nodded seriously, expressing her agreement with Princess Ning Guo's words.
"I don't think it's poisonous. How about... let's steam some and eat it?"
As soon as I heard Mei Yin's words, I thought about the steamed sweet potatoes I fed to the chickens yesterday. They had a mellow and slightly sweet taste.
Princess Ning Guo couldn't help but swallowed secretly.
However, I finally endured it.
"Husband, just wait.
The chickens and rabbits are still fine at noon, let's eat them again. ”
"Okay, I will listen to you, madam."
Mei Yin smiled and agreed.
But seeing my little wife swallowing secretly when she said this, I couldn't help but smile in my heart.
My little wife is very cute...
……
At noon, smoke curled up from the chimney in Mei Yin's kitchen.
In the kitchen, white mist is steaming.
In the diffuse water vapor, the sweetness of sweet potatoes is permeating...
"Huh? It smells so good! What does it smell like? It smells so good?"
Li Jinglong sniffed and walked in, speaking with some surprise.
Mei Yin had serious doubts. Li Jinglong's nose was super sensitive, and people came right after he smelled it.
Mei Yin opened the lid of the pot, and more water mist filled the air, and the aroma became more intense.
Mei Yin fanned the diffuse water vapor with her hand, revealing the true face of the sweet potato.
At this time, sweet potatoes are still in the growth stage, so they have high starch content and low sugar content.
After steaming, the skin cracked a little, revealing the inside of the noodles.
It makes people very appetizing just looking at it.
"Second uncle, what is this? Why haven't we seen this before?
What fruit smells so good and looks delicious? ”
Li Jinglong couldn't help but ask again.
Mei Yin smiled and said: "It's the kind of plant that appears in the ground. I don't know what it is.
These are the roots underneath it. I dug up a few of them and tried them on chickens and rabbits. They were not poisonous.
I'm going to steam some and let's try it ourselves. ”
It turned out to be that thing?
How can the roots underneath it grow so big?
Does it smell so good?
Li Jinglong was stunned when he heard this.
Although he also followed the example of his second uncle and did not get rid of the unknown weeds that appeared in his own land.
Let it grow there.
But most of Li Jinglong's thoughts were not on this matter.
So I didn't really care much.
At this time, I suddenly discovered that what was in the pot was actually the root of that thing, which was full of surprise.
At this time, Mei Yin had already used chopsticks to take out all the steamed sweet potatoes from the pot.
"Come, come, try them all."
Mei Yin greeted.
We are all a family, so we are not polite.
Each person took a sweet potato and started eating.
Xiaochan has a special status, although both Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo treat her very well.
He doesn't regard her as a servant.
But Xiaochan herself has always been very disciplined.
Although I really wanted to try the taste of this new food, I didn't try to get it.
Mei Yin knew Xiaochan's character, so she didn't say much.
Picked up a sweet potato and handed it to Xiaochan.
Xiaochan took the sweet potato and felt warm in her heart.
I think the Prince Consort is really nice.
The one Mei Yin took was a sweet potato with a red heart. After peeling off the skin, I took a small bite.
The taste is very good.
Although generally speaking, red sweet potatoes have a higher sugar content.
It becomes soft after steaming.
But because at this time, it is far from the time when the sweet potatoes are mature, they have a lot of starch, and they taste floury, gritty, and have a pretty good texture.
It also has some sweetness...
Princess Ningguo got purple sweet potatoes.
The freshly steamed sweet potatoes were very hot, so I placed them in a bowl.
Use chopsticks to pick off the half-steamed skin.
He picked up some more with chopsticks and put the steaming purple sweet potatoes into his mouth.
After taking a few breaths of cold air, Princess Ning Guo's face and eyes suddenly lit up!
The rustling, glutinous and noodle texture stimulates the taste buds.
There is also some sweetness at the same time.
It tastes a bit like chestnuts with special noodles, but there are some differences from chestnuts.
The key is that they are much bigger than chestnuts!
tasty!
So delicious!
Not only her, but Li Jinglong and Xiaochan also ate sweet potatoes one after another.
I was also surprised by the deliciousness of sweet potatoes.
Very unexpected and delighted.
The taste of this food exceeded their imagination!
"Second uncle, is this really the kind of fruit that grows under weeds?"
After Li Jinglong ate half of the sweet potato, he finally had time to talk to Mei Yin.
When asked about this, I was naturally shocked and disbelieving.
Mei Yin nodded and said: "It is indeed."
Li Jinglong remembered following his uncle's footsteps, and just like his second uncle, he did not pull out the weeds in his own field.
Suddenly became happy.
Following in the footsteps of my second uncle is indeed the right thing to do!
Such delicious food can be found in our own land!
The most important thing is that it seems that this thing can be planted in a large area!
So if something like this that has never been seen before can be promoted in the future, does that mean that the lives of many people in the Ming Dynasty will be improved to a certain extent?
Li Jinglong was a little excited.
My heart can't help but surge with excitement.
While Mei Yin and Li Jinglong were eating sweet potatoes here.
Someone is coming.
The person who came was none other than Chief Zhao!
Seeing Chief Zhao coming, Mei Yin suddenly became very interested.
He remembered that Zhao Jiachang, including many people in Shuangshui Village, did not say anything about his behavior of leaving the sweet potato seedlings, but in fact, he did not agree with it in his heart.
Now that Zhao Jia is here, let him try sweet potatoes and taste the shock brought by sweet potatoes!
Mei Yin was looking forward to it and saw Zhao Jiachang's reaction after eating sweet potatoes.
Especially after tasting the deliciousness of sweet potatoes, I remembered their behavior of pulling up sweet potato seedlings before.
I think it must be exciting!
He was full of smiles at the moment and invited Zhao Jiachang to eat sweet potatoes together...
……
"Father, is there any news from Uncle Xu?"
In Wuying Hall, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.
There was some urgency and worry in his voice.
Zhu Yuanzhang simulated the life of King Zhu Ping of Qin and speculated that Wang Baobao would die, but did not hide it from Zhu Biao.
Zhu Biao knew it.
He also knew the orders given by his father to General Xu Da.
At this time, I couldn't bear it anymore.
Zhu Yuanzhang was able to stay calmer than Zhu Biao and said:
"According to Tiande's temperament, action must have been taken.
There have even been certain results.
According to our opinion, it won't take more than a few days before there is news from there.
Tiande is a cautious person.
Even if he sends troops, he will definitely send his troops and other things to us. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang still knew Xu Da very well.
Be really cautious in doing things.
Zhu Biao nodded, thought for a moment, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father, do you think Uncle Xu can achieve the results we want this time?"
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and said: "You don't have to worry about this.
It’s not like you don’t know how capable your Uncle Xu is.
Can fight very well.
The key is that the defeat in the fifth year of Hongwu had a great impact on your Uncle Xu.
He is also a proud and arrogant person, especially in war.
I must be holding it back in my heart!
At this time, with the information we sent, your Uncle Xu will definitely take action immediately and do something.
According to his character and ability, we have deployed many troops near Peking.
If you don't move, you will be able to seize the opportunity and give the Beiyuan Tatars a heavy blow!
Regarding this matter, we just wait for the good news to come!
The best result is to destroy the Northern Yuan Tatar Royal Court in one fell swoop.
Even if it is the worst outcome, they can take advantage of the big changes on the Beiyuan Tatar side and bite off large chunks of flesh and blood from them.
Take away half their lives! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed very confident when he said these things.
Zhu Biao listened to what his father said and then thought about the abilities of General Xu Da.
There are also arrangements made by his father.
I also think there shouldn't be any surprises in this matter.
It will develop as his father said.
And it was at this time that the fast horse from Peiping arrived outside Yingtianfu City...
