Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

In the capital, recently, the owners of various restaurants gathered together and mentioned with a bitter face that they would give the prince [-]% of the profit, and a person who hadn’t even heard or seen [-]% of the profit. Give it to the prince, they accepted it, but The other [-]% profit was just divided out like this, a few people felt unhappy, but they could only recognize the prince standing there.They got together not only to vomit bitterness, but also brought the best cooks from each family, just for the crab-eating recipe given to them by the prince, which contained many seasonings that they had never heard of.Everyone is a businessman, so it is natural to know that if it is made, it will definitely raise the level of each restaurant.

It's not that the restaurant where the imperial chef is located has never thought about taking the recipes all by himself, but the prince didn't give the opportunity, and directly sent people around him out of the palace, recruiting the owners of several largest restaurants together to put the recipes directly.I also brought up the matter of the fish before, and the opening is [-]% profit, and then the prescription of the crab is even [-]% profit, the prince is [-]% unchanged, and [-]% profit is given to those who have not heard. That one is amazing, even including the seasoning in the recipe, and even straightened out that the prince will send people to the major restaurants.

The major owners of the restaurant also have backstage, but compared with the prince, the backstage can only stand at the back.Everyone has their own hardships and can’t tell, but they can’t let go of the recipes. The recipes are free, and the taste of the dishes depends on the skills of the chefs.All the major restaurants are gearing up, and before the things are researched, the chefs have changed their previous secrets, and each of them has shown their housekeeping skills.

The emperor found his son's behavior interesting, so he called his son to ask him clearly.Waiting for the prince to say angrily that there are no less than ten kinds of fish dishes out there, but he has only eaten three kinds.The emperor nodded after hearing this, and asked Ming'er how to deal with it, the emperor clicked on the imperial case, and the son said [-]% of the profit, although [-]% was given to others, it was too much.But not suffering a loss now is much better than taking the initiative to add money to others before.

"Father, my son has something else to report." Afterwards, the prince took out a thick stack of paper, which was full of Xiangke's food. "The youngest son of Prime Minister Wang said that even if the eldest son draws a pen, the son is not sure about it, so I leave it to the emperor to decide."

The emperor looked at the food recorded on the paper. At first, it was related to crabs and some sea food. Later, many things that he would eat every day gradually appeared. Stomach pain, diarrhea, death, blindness, and even some things that make people die slowly without being discovered, etc. The more the emperor looked at it, the more he frowned, and he couldn't help but wonder, how did the youngest son of Prime Minister Wang know these things?Knowing how to make steamed stuffed buns can be said to be passed down in the family, and the discovery of removing the bitter fishy smell from fish can also be said to be discovered by accident, so how does that person know the recipe for making crabs and the list in his hand?

Thinking back about the matter about Prime Minister Wang's youngest son, I found that the most famous one was the boy's catching Zhou. I thought it was funny at the time, but now thinking about it, I think it is unusual.And the father married the child to the eldest grandson of General Li's family early. Is it against General Li or the child?The emperor waved his son to go out, got up and went to the window, looked at a big tree outside the courtyard, the tree was planted by his father when he was born, there were several brothers, and when each of them was born, his father planted a tree When he ascended the throne, except for the former crown prince's tree, which was blocked by him, the brothers were allowed to move to the various mansions.Recalling the beginning of his enthronement, the emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Go to Li Palace."

The eunuchs were stunned for a moment, then bowed immediately, and followed the emperor out of the imperial study, wondering in their hearts why the emperor was going to Li Palace.

On the other side, Wang Xiujin, who was busy doing his homework, sneezed, and he didn't know who was reading him. He rubbed the tip of his nose and looked at the scribbled words because of the sneeze. Wang Xiujin sighed. If his father saw it, he might be I have to read again.Recently, he has more free time, so his father forced him to practice calligraphy. Wang Xiujin misses writing Japanese characters with other pens very much. He practiced calligraphy with a brush and hung a bag of sand to practice. Wang Xiujin felt very painful.

"Brother, did you ask the craftsman to make a car before? Today, someone from the craftsman's family went back to the village and said that the car was ready and asked you when to pick it up." Wang Xiuyun and Sister Liu went to dig some wild vegetables today. I happened to meet someone from the craftsman's family, and when the other party mentioned this matter, Wang Xiuyun didn't know much about it, so she just asked around.

"I will get it back when I enter the city tomorrow." Wang Xiujin responded and continued to concentrate on writing.

Wang Xiuyun didn't bother her younger brother to practice calligraphy.I wondered what my brother had done.When I went out, I met my eldest brother. Wang Xiuyun asked the doubts in his heart, and Wang Xiubo was happy after hearing it. "It was made for my mother. I mentioned it a long time ago. The craftsman didn't make it. A few days ago, when Xiu Jin went to the city, he went to the craftsman again. He made gestures and drew figures on the ground. The craftsman nodded and said Say the car is free for us."

"Mother feels tired even from the start." What's the use of having a car?Wang Xiuyun looked troubled.

"When you get it back, you'll know when you see it." Wang Xiubai was thinking about when to pick up the car. When the day is fine, he can push his mother out, and it's not a problem to always be in the house. "Where is Xiu Jin? Did you say when to get it?"

"My younger brother is practicing calligraphy, and he said he will enter the city tomorrow." Wang Xiuyun couldn't figure it out, so she didn't bother anymore. After talking to her elder brother a few words, she went to make clothes with Sister Liu. Among the materials she bought last time, there was The two horses were very soft, and my younger brother wanted to make the inner clothes, which would fit comfortably next to the body. The outer clothes were all made by Sister Liu, and Wang Xiuyun thought she would make the inner clothes.

Hearing that his younger brother was practicing calligraphy, Wang Xiubo walked into the room, glanced at the words on the paper, and had the urge to cover his eyes. His mother could write a few strokes of beautiful embroidery, and his sister could also write a few strokes with a pen. He practiced calligraphy with his father from three to four strokes. Although he couldn't write like a master, he could write with bones and characters with shape. Looking at his younger brother's calligraphy, he couldn't write as well as his sister who hadn't practiced calligraphy. His posture is also dumbfounding.

"Brother, even if you use your hands for abacus in the future, you must know how to write. People who do big business will also know how to write and write, and they care about words like people." Wang Xiubai walked to his brother and taught him the posture of holding a pen again. It was the posture, and he taught it more than a dozen times, but his younger brother didn't have a long memory. This time, Wang Xiubai picked up a branch, and was going to hit his younger brother on his hand when he made another mistake.

Wang Xiujin was frightened by the tree in his elder brother's hand. He had heard that students in ancient times would be punished with a ruler for making mistakes. At that time, he was still thinking that it would be better to have a civilized society. Who would have thought that one day, he would have the opportunity to experience it himself.In order not to be beaten, Wang Xiujin tried his best to maintain his wrist strength and not make any mistakes, but the words he could write were still extremely ugly.

"Brother, do all scholars look good at handwriting?" After writing for nearly two hours, his wrists had lost strength, so he dropped the pen, and Wang Xiujin didn't say anything and stopped practicing handwriting.

Wang Xiubai didn't have any troubles either, as calligraphy can't be done overnight, Wang Xiubai couldn't bear to be fooled by his younger brother's question, "No, but those who write well will get good grades in the imperial examination."

Nodding clearly, Wang Xiujin felt sorry for those talented people who couldn't write well, and was disgusted by the examiners because of their poor handwriting, what a grievance.Think about it, you still have to practice your calligraphy well, at least you have to be able to hold up a facade.

Decided to practice handwriting well, Wang Xiujin worked hard, writing a few strokes whenever he had time.Feeling that paper is expensive, Wang Xiujin practiced on the sand with a stick.Since he picked up the car, he would push his mother to bask in the sun in the yard every noon. Wang Xiujin squatted in the yard and practiced calligraphy. From time to time, he would chat with his mother about what happened in the village. Wang Xiuyun would also be by the side. , Usually the father will call the eldest brother into the house to test and teach.After Sister Liu cleaned up, she would also sit in the yard.

Sister Liu is very comfortable staying in the Wang family. The Wang family will not despise her because of her ugly face. There will be no shortage of work in the family. Melted into it, although there are many things that make her wonder about the Wang family, such as why the old man in his prime is idle at home, and the young master who should be married after the double tenth year has not been married for a long time, as for the young lady in the family who is not in the water Sister Liu is not surprised that the young children are walking around the stove.

Mrs. Wang is very satisfied with Sister Liu, but she doesn't care much about her appearance. Their family recruits workers, not peach blossom farmers.But I feel very sympathetic to what happened to Sister Liu. The husband's family made a mistake, but the natal brother made a big mistake, and the mother and compatriots were cast aside, and that ruthless person would do no good.

Recently, I often go out to bask in the sun, Madam Wang's complexion has improved a lot. Wang Xiujin thought of finding a doctor to check his mother's pulse before the harvest. If he just needed to raise her, he wanted to stop and stop the medicine for her mother. The medicine is three-point poisonous. You can get sick even if you are not sick.Now I don't know if there is any talk about medicated diet, I have to ask the doctor when I see the doctor, medicated diet should be better than taking medicine.

The days passed without wind and waves, and it was August in a blink of an eye. The first ripe sweet potatoes were dug out one after another from the ground, which made people feel much better.Mrs. Wang, who hadn't appeared in front of everyone since returning to the village, was kicked out of the house by Sister Liu, and felt the atmosphere of harvest.

A few days ago, the doctor came to check the pulse, and said that he was recovering well, but the root was injured, he couldn't work, he couldn't get angry, he could only rest.The doctor was surprised by Wang Xiujin's idea of ​​supplementing with food, and said he wanted to go back and study it. Before he left, he saw that there were many poultry in the yard, so he said that he could stew a small rooster for the patient every few days. Remember not to overdo it. Too greasy.

Wang Xiujin got the doctor's words, so he followed Sister Liu to busy in the kitchen all afternoon. In the evening, he stewed a small cock for his mother. But did not eat.The stewed chicken soup was not wasted. Wang Xiujin stretched the noodles and made chicken noodle soup. Sprinkled some dried wild vegetables on top, the taste was also good.

When harvesting sweet potatoes, the two brothers barely managed to come over, but it also made the two brothers very tired. They wanted to hire someone, but the village was focused on harvesting, so there was no idler.Speaking of idlers, I have to mention the six people who went to the corvee. The one who was carried to the corvee in the end was still brought back, more feminine than before, with an unbearable charm in his eyes , Everyone who saw him couldn't help shivering, with egg bumps all over his body.As for the other five people, they were black and thin when they came back. They were not injured, and they were not hungry when they were working, but the work they did was not easy at all. When asked what kind of work they did, the five shook their heads tacitly. They also don't want to mention it, and it's not easy to go to corvee again, and they all expressed that they should behave themselves in the future and stop doing stealthy things.

The people in the village find it strange that the corvée is not limited to those kinds of jobs, such as repairing mountains and forests, repairing official roads, or digging canals, and building houses. As for being so mysterious, the villagers think it is very good for them to be able to change themselves. Yes, at least you don't have to worry about things at home being stolen every day.Of course, despite the repeated assurances of the five people, the village chief took time out to gather the villagers and said bluntly that if the six people committed another crime, they and their families would be kicked out of the village.Everyone had no objection to this, and the six families could only grit their teeth in response, saying repeatedly that they must be optimistic about them.

After the sweet potatoes were harvested, the two brothers slept for a whole day. When they woke up, they only felt headaches when they thought about rice and wheat.Sitting in the yard, the two brothers discussed while gnawing sweet potatoes. They had to find someone to help. The sweet potato fields were scarce, and the two of them were too tired to lift their arms. There were many fields of wheat and rice. Catch up with the changing weather, the harvest of the year may be over.

"Why don't you just find shopkeeper Wu!" It's hard to hire people now. When harvesting, only those who have land at home have to work. busy.

"I'm afraid shopkeeper Wu won't be able to find anyone!" Wang Xiubai hesitated a little.

"Don't forget, the crabs in the rice fields, if you want to harvest the rice, you have to fish out the crabs first!" Recently, Wang Xiujin hasn't been in the city very much. There was nothing in it either.

"The last time I sent the doctor back to the city, I saw Shopkeeper Wu mentioning the crab." Wang Xiubai said straight away, "I will go to the city tomorrow and ask Shopkeeper Wu to help find someone."

"I'll catch a few later to satisfy everyone's hunger. It's a pity that my mother still can't eat it, so I can only wait until next year." Wang Xiujin felt a little regretful. His mother's health is getting better, and his father is becoming more and more low-key.Thinking back to a few days ago, I found my father sneaked into the kitchen. I just felt a little bit of wine in my mouth with chopsticks. For a long while, I was afraid that there would be a smell in my mouth, and my mother would smell it.

I didn't think my father was an alcoholic before, and I didn't see my father drank a few times, but now he is addicted to alcohol. "After the harvest, buy a jar, and our family will make some wine and bury it under the tree."

"Your brother can make wine?" Wang Xiubo was slightly surprised.

"No, just fooling around! Anyway, I don't drink." Wang Xiujin said it with confidence, Wang Xiubai was speechless, and could only lament for his father in his heart. Only his father could drink at home, and he didn't know that after the wine was brewed, his father would drink. What expression will it make when you drink it into your mouth.

The two brothers thought of a way, one went to catch crabs, and the other prepared what to bring back when they went to the city tomorrow. They first asked their parents what they needed, and then asked their younger sister and sister Liu.Sister Liu only asked for some expenses in the kitchen, but as for herself, she didn't ask for anything, so Wang Xiubo didn't ask too much.

When Wang Xiujin came back with the crab, he saw the corners of his father's mouth unstoppably raised.The ones in the family who love to eat crabs belong to the father and him. At first, the elder brother and elder sister could eat something fresh, but then they didn't think there was anything delicious. It was troublesome, and there was no meat. Although the taste was good, it was not so attractive. Especially the smell on your hands after eating, you can't wash it off.

Sister Liu took the crab and went to the kitchen to get busy. Wang Xiujin was washing his hands in the yard when he heard the noise outside, which passed away after a while.Wang Xiujin is not a curious person, so he didn't go out to see it. After a while, the village head's wife called the door outside. Wang Xiujin opened the door and asked casually, "What happened just now? I heard loud noises in the yard. sound."

"What else can it be? The yamen comes to collect taxes. Some people can't get it out, so borrow money!" The village chief's wife came to give things. Their family planted some foreign seeds. This year, they collected some and gave some away. Come over, "I don't know how to eat this food, so I wonder if the sixth son has ever been a high-ranking official, let me take a look."

Wang Xiujin glanced at it, and immediately recognized what it was, "This is corn. You can cook it, eat it, or bake it, but you're very hungry." Wang Xiujin really didn't expect there to be corn, and he didn't see where his grandfather's house planted it. Yes, I felt strange and asked directly.

"The eldest brother of your second uncle's family went to the business last year and brought it back when he came back. When he planted this year, no one knew how to plant it, so he found a place in the mountains to plant it casually. Last time your eldest brother from the uncle's family went to the mountain to think about it. When I got up, I saw that I was pecked by a bird, so I thought it should be taken away, so I went, but no one knew how to eat it, so I wanted to come over and ask, and let you try something new along the way." Grandma Tang listened to Baomi. When I was full, I immediately felt that it was a good thing. I had to save some seeds after I went back, and I had to take care of it carefully in the coming year.

Wang Xiujin quickly thanked them, and mentioned the matter of saving the seeds by the way. It would be better if they could give them some in the next year. Grandma Tang immediately responded with a smile, and promised again and again that the seeds must be saved, and some of them will be shared by then.

Corn is a good thing, and it can be used for many things. The easiest thing to do now is to cook it and eat it.After sending off Grandma Tang, I picked the corn kernels. If they were very tender, I asked Sister Liu to cook them.Planting corn shouldn't be difficult, but it's different from rice and wheat. He remembers that corn fields always have ridges. Although he doesn't understand the reason, he will definitely not go wrong if he follows it.

When the corn was cooked, there was a sweet smell in the yard, and Wang Xiujin felt that his saliva was about to flow out, and he was thinking about eating an extra ear of corn at night, when he heard shouting from outside the yard, "Is Widow Liu working here! "
