Chapter 931 Cochin's Icing, Potatoes that Buy People's Hearts

"Our family has no shortage of gold and silver, and never will."

Today, Xiaodao took someone to buy a cow that had just fallen to death. The price was not cheap, and Zhang Shuhui thought it was too extravagant.

"Nu'er Gandusi belongs to Daming. The cattle and sheep will be brought in continuously. Eat as much as you want. Don't save."

Zhang Shuhui hugged Tudou and said, "Husband, where are the cattle sent from the grassland?"

"It was bought in advance, I don't want to find someone for this thing, I'm too lazy!"

Fang Xing handed the babbling peace in his arms to Xiao Bai, and then went to the kitchen.

Outside the kitchen, Xiaodao and Fang Wu were breaking down the beef and handing it to Chunsheng for disposal.

"There are a lot of bones, so I take some home to make soup to strengthen my bones."

Fang Xing doesn't like to gnaw on cow bones, he can't do it.

Hua Niang had already cut off the best parts, and when she saw Fang Xing, she smiled and said, "Master, how about making beef dumplings?"

"Okay, I haven't eaten for a long time, pack more, and then Mr. Xie and Mr. Huang will be counted."

So at noon, everyone in the main house had a bowl of beef dumplings, as for the seasoning, take care of yourself.

Ping An is naturally inedible, that is, potatoes eat a bowl of beef soup noodles.

Fang Xing made a dip in the water. On the left hand side was the peeled garlic. He picked up a dumpling, rolled it in the dipping water, and put it in his mouth.

The heat is good!

Beef dumplings are not tasty if they are overcooked, but Hua Niang has a good control over the heat, not old, but not raw.

Take another bite of garlic, and continue to eat while taking advantage of the hotness.

this is life!

The whole Fangjiazhuang rested, the cattle and horses returned to the enclosure, and everyone put on new clothes, all smiling.

The children wore new clothes, deliberately put copper coins in their pockets, and made a knocking sound when they ran, which sounded like money.

Some shopkeepers living in Beiping also took this opportunity to wander around. Putting down their burdens, they took out the bell and shook it, and the children came running wildly.

"There are caramel, there are little bamboo horses, and there are nine chains..."

Caramel is not popular, but Xiaozhuma and Jiulianhuan are sold out by the children of Fangjiazhuang.

Then came the grown-ups, makeup, jewelry, and even headbands. The women in Fangjiazhuang bought and bought without hesitation, which made the shopkeeper a little confused.

"Why is no one buying caramel?"

He knew that Fangjiazhuang was rich, so he made a special trip, but why didn't anyone buy the caramel that sold well last year?

A farmer's woman saw him in a daze, and said with a smile: "My master got a lot of icing sugar from Jiaozhi, and Fangjiazhuang can buy it at a low price. Who would care about caramel!"

Cochin white sugar began to enter Daming in small batches, so Xu Jingchang even came to Fangjiazhuang to celebrate the New Year.

"Dehua, how do we sell this candy?"

When Xu Jingchang arrived, Fang Xing was watching Hua Niang making beef jerky, and said, "For consignment, the Four Seas Bazaar is still under construction, and the sugar won't work if it's been left for a long time, so I'll take it to those grocery stores for consignment, but you need to prepare some for delivery." into the palace."

Xu Jingchang struggled and said: "If you send it to the palace, if you don't have it, you won't be able to make a move!"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "It's only a few hundred catties. Send some in. Your Majesty knows the benefits of Jiaozhi. Otherwise, what if someone in the court proposes to abolish sugarcane? After all, the Ming Dynasty mainly uses food!"

Xu Jingchang picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth subconsciously. It was sweet and spicy, and it felt delicious.

"Who dares?"

Xu Jingchang is not a good stubble, he took another piece of beef, and said with fierce eyes: "I went to a barren land and planted it so hard, whoever dares to cut it off, I will cut him off!"

Fang Xing saw that the beef slices in the dustpan were decreasing, so he urged: "Then you should hurry up and enter the palace now, maybe your Majesty will give you some rewards!"

"Yes! It's not bad to ask for a good omen during the Chinese New Year."

Xu Jingchang thought it was reasonable, but before he left, this guy took away a few catties of beef slices, saying he was taking them home for his children to eat.

"They're all foodies!"

...

Zhu Di is also preparing for the New Year.

The scale of the Chinese New Year in the palace is too large,

Concubine Wang Guifei has been in good health recently, and even the imperial doctor said it was God's blessing, so all this matter was left to her.

After being grounded, Wanwan became much more obedient, walking slowly and according to the rules.

"Grandpa Huang, Wanwan wants to have dinner with you."

Zhu Di looked at the well-behaved Wanwan, frowned and said, "Punishment?"

Wanwan said pitifully: "Well, Wanwan set fire to the palace, and her mother punished her and grounded her feet."

Zhu Di turned his neck uncomfortably and said, "I know about that, I don't blame you, go and have fun."

"Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"

Wanwan's eyes lit up, and after saluting, she couldn't wait and ran away with her entourage.

As for having dinner together, seeing her beaming and happy face, I definitely can't remember it.

"snort!"

Heartless little girl!

Zhu Di continued to deal with political affairs. The territory of Daming is getting bigger and bigger, and there are countless political affairs that need to be dealt with every day. As an emperor, Zhu Di is unwilling to procrastinate, so he can't feel the atmosphere of the New Year.

"Your Majesty, Lord Dingguo seeks an audience."

"Let him in."

Although the Xu family is a duo, Duke Wei Xu Qin was only eleven years old and was naughty before, so Zhu Di drove him back to study.

Xu Jingchang was not a good bird either, if it wasn't for the face of the deceased queen, Zhu Di would have beaten him to death.

Xu Jingchang came in to salute, and when he got up he laughed and said, "Your Majesty, I planted some sugarcane in Jiaozhi and made some icing sugar. I dare not enjoy it to myself. I have selected the best batch to present to Your Majesty."

Naturally, icing sugar is needed in the palace, and there is a lot of demand.

Zhu Di thought of the snacks Wan Wan gave him a few days ago, they were too sweet, so he said, "It's rare that you miss the palace, so let's take it."

Naturally, someone below will deliver to Xu Jingchang, so when he saw that Zhu Di had no intention of rewarding him, he left with a bit of resentment.

Looking at his back, Zhu Di suddenly asked, "Does Fang Xing know about this?"

Xu Jingchang turned around in astonishment and said, "Your Majesty, I know, I just came out of his house."

"That's good."

Zhu Di buried his head and continued to deal with political affairs, while Xu Jingchang left the palace in a daze.

...

At New Year's Eve, the Fang family is still the same, but with two more children, it looks much more lively.

Tudou is the eldest son, but he can't do the work of an adult. In the end, Fang Xing asked Fang Jielun to accompany him to the farmer's house to give condolences, laying the foundation in advance.

Tudou put on a new blue shirt, looking like a little adult, with Fang Jielun leading the way in front, and Bell escorting him, he himself was hugged by Madam Deng, followed by two family members with some condolences Ding, what a mess.

"Little uncle! Little uncle!"

When they arrived at the village where the farmers lived, the children surrounded them happily when they saw the potatoes.

Potato said with a straight face: "Sugar, there is sugar."

The two young men quickly started giving out candy, which is to buy people's hearts. Seeing those adults laughing happily, you know that it is probably successful.

"I have seen my uncle."

A group of people bowed and saluted, almost scaring Tudou. He was a little dazed, and then began to read according to what Fang Xing taught.

"...everything is fine, every year...gets better every year."

Tudou stammered, as if reciting a book, and his body was shaking all the time, but the farmers all bowed and listened with serious expressions.

Then Tudou staggered to the most difficult place in the village, everyone Fei.

Fei Da broke his leg a few years ago, and Zhang Shuhui borrowed some money from his family without interest. Later, her leg recovered, but she was in debt after all, and her life was always tight.

After seeing the potatoes, Fei Da was so excited that he wanted to kowtow, but Fang Jielun stopped him.

Potato thought about it, but in the end he couldn't think of what to say, so he said indiscriminately, "Be good."

"This is the food that the young master rewards. Meat and flour are indispensable at home during the Chinese New Year. Is there a cellar for cabbage at home? As long as you have it, then make dumplings stuffed with cabbage and meat. Plant the land well in the coming year, and you will have a good life. "
