Chapter 87 As a fine female matchmaker chooses to farm (36)

   Speaking of breakfast, fried dough sticks are the best match for soy milk.

  There is a chef from his hometown in Linhai County in the mansion, who is good at deep-fried food, so Xu Yin told him how to make deep-fried dough sticks.

  On the breakfast table the next day, there was an extra freshly fried fried dough stick, which was salty, fragrant and crispy.

   Whether it is eaten directly or broken into small pieces and put in salty soy milk, it is very good.

  Yan Kejin ate to her heart's content, and waved her hand: "Reward."

  Xu Yin twitched the corners of her mouth, thanks to the fact that her family has more than one mine, otherwise, according to his reward method, the wealth of the family would be wiped out by him sooner or later.

  Soymilk is suitable for both salty and sweet, and won unanimous praise from all over the house once it was launched.

   Until the advent of tofu.

  Soybean products with different textures, such as tender tofu, firm tofu, deep-fried tofu, tofu skin, dried tofu, tofu brain, etc., are made according to the recipes provided by Xu Yin.

  They followed the princess and had the honor of being a vegetable tester.

  This one said: "Wow! The tender tofu is delicious! I can cook two bowls of rice with this dish of tofu!"

  That one said: "The oily tofu stew is delicious!"

  Nurse Mammy was the oldest, cleared her throat and made a conclusion: "Except for the dried incense, which is a bit hard and not suitable for people with bad teeth, the old slave likes all the other kinds."

  Xu Yin nodded: "The dried fragrant is suitable for marinating. The thoroughly marinated fragrant dried is soft and juicy, and it can be eaten even if the mouth is bad."

   Just do what you say, and immediately pick out a few ingredients that are suitable for marinating, adjust the marinade by yourself, and make a pot of braised vegetables that is so fragrant and so delicious.

  At noon the next day, the sheriffs of the Nanman counties came to give the New Year gifts, and stayed for dinner by the way. What entertained them was a table of tofu feast.

   In Xu Yin’s opinion, they are all home-cooked dishes:

   Mapo tofu made of tender tofu, fried stuffed tofu, Xi Shi tofu soup.

   Bazhen tofu, ham tofu, kimchi tofu pot made by old tofu.

  Fried tofu also made several big dishes: a stewed meat, a stuffed meat, and a braised pork chop.

   What excites the taste buds the most is the braised mei platter that has been simmering over an unquenchable charcoal fire all night.

Although those here are not as greedy as Liu Cheng, governor of Baiyue County, and Wang Zhihai, governor of Minyue County, but they are county guards after all. Compared with the common people in their jurisdiction, the ordinary food is still very good. The table did not know the delicacies, smelling the strong aroma of the dishes, he lost his composure.

   "Please forgive me, my lord!"

  Yan Kejin waved his hand indifferently: "Let's eat first."

  He didn't mean to say that this table of dishes was actually made of the most despised fodder beans on weekdays, but he didn't say it until after they were full.

  One second ago, I was still reminiscing about the deliciousness and novelty of the tofu banquet, and the next second I heard the prince said that the dishes on this table are all made of fodder and beans that cattle and horses and other livestock like to eat. I feel...

  The force of the impact... the concentration was so weak that I almost vomited out on the spot.

  Yan Kejin sneered: "What's the matter? This king can eat it, but you can't?"

   "Dare not dare!"

  All the sheriffs quickly knelt down.

  Yan Kejin snorted heavily.

  He didn't mention it, and everyone didn't dare to get up.

Luo Shizhong, the governor of Qianzhong County, said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to make this fodder and beans into such a delicacy. I feel that this food is very delicious, and there is a faint smell of meat. If it is not difficult, I will I want to learn it and bring it back to Guizhou, so that I can teach the people in the jurisdiction how to cook and eat it."

  Yan Kejin felt very comfortable when she heard it. This is what people say.

  Have he and the princess disliked eating beans? Do you still eat it? It's just you guys who are tricky!

He nodded at Luo Shizhong: "You still care about the people. Don't worry, the concubine thinks that the price of this fodder bean is cheap, and it is delicious when made into tofu. She has already asked the people below to copy several copies of the production method. One of them is called For gypsum, you have to ask someone to pull a cart back. The extraction method and dosage are all in the recipe, so be careful when using it.”

   "Thank you, my lord! The lord and princess are so sympathetic to the common people, it is a blessing for the common people!"

  Other people saw it, and expressed their opinions one after another: "My lord, I also want to learn in a humble position. After learning, I will bring dishes to the people under my jurisdiction."

  Yan Kejin sneered in his heart: You are very active in co-authoring and feeding the common people?

  But this was originally Wang Hao’s intention, otherwise she wouldn’t have worked so hard to teach the people in the big kitchen how to make tofu for this group of people.

   "Okay, take them all back to teach the people in the jurisdiction. By the way, let the people know that this king can buy fodder beans in unlimited quantities. Oh, yes, and sugar cane."

  He asked someone to bring up a whole green-skinned sugarcane and a purple-skinned sugarcane:

"This thing is sugar cane, which is useful to the king. If someone in your county grows it, you can sell it to the king. In the next year, the king will set up buying stations in each county to buy fodder beans and sugar cane at any time. After you go back, encourage the governor The common people plant these two crops, as long as the king is alive, the purchase will be valid forever, the price is fair, and no one can deceive anyone."

   "..."

  The sheriffs of the various counties went back in a daze with the purchase notices of these two crops.

  Backing back to their respective sites, they didn’t dare to act like demons, and honestly posted the notice of unlimited purchase of fodder beans and sugar cane.

   Then the people heard:

  There is a crop called sugarcane, which can be planted by inserting the head into the ground, and the stalks grown can be taken to the Wangfu purchase station, which can be exchanged for food and money;

  Food beans interplanted with corn can also be exchanged for money, not only for money, but also for high-yielding grains.

What! High-yielding grains actually produce thirty stones per mu?

   What kind of fairy grain is this?

   And what new type of fertilization method, combined with the high-yield grains exchanged by the Wangfu Purchase Station, can double the yield per mu?

   Then what are you waiting for!

  People from all over the Nanban flocked to the Wangfu Purchase Station to inquire. They were happier than New Year. This is the passion of life with hope.

  Yan Kejin is not short of money, it was not bad before, and now that there are gold mines and silver mines, it is even more so. Buying shops have been set up in various counties and counties. Buying shops and hiring people can be done in minutes.

  The owner of the shop got the order of the prince, put the sweet potato and the potato in the most eye-catching position with a smile, put up a wooden sign respectively, and wrote the yield per mu of the two crops with a brush.

  However, if it is not exchanged with fodder beans and sugar cane, the purchase of silver money not only needs to check the household registration but also has a limited amount, and each household can buy at most one stone.

  If one stone of potatoes is used as seeds, it can grow about half an acre of land.

   The common people thought there were too few, so they naturally racked their brains to find sugar cane, grow fodder and eat beans.

  The folks of the Southern Man have set off a farming trend.

  Almost all counties, counties, and villages are discussing the high-yield grains that are almost like fairyland products with high yield per mu, and the fodder beans and sugar cane that can be exchanged for high-yield grains.

   Before spring plowing, countless people flock to the wasteland and pick up hoes to open up wasteland.

  It was difficult to open up wasteland in the past, but now that Quyuanli has spread across the southern barbarians, it is no longer difficult to open up wasteland.

  Watering is a bit troublesome, but I heard that Wangfu has launched a rare thing that automatically waters, called a waterwheel. For villages that are far away from the water source, you can go to the Wangfu Purchase Station to apply. The Wangfu will send people to the local inspection, and if the verification is correct, the village will be approved to use the water truck for free.

  With the water truck, watering is no longer difficult.

  Nanban people all praised King Jinnan as a good prince who was dedicated to the people.

   Later, someone spread the news that King Jinnan was the former prince. Because he was not liked by the emperor, his title of prince was abolished, and he was even kicked out to the fiefdom of Nanman.

  The simple Nanman people were furious when they heard this, and they felt aggrieved and complained for King Jinnan one after another.

  Originally, Nanban was separated from Beijing by a strange mountain, thousands of miles away. They didn't care at all whether the prince changed or not.

  But once I heard that the good prince who is dedicated to serving the people is the former prince, the feeling is completely different.

   Obviously dare not scold the emperor for being blind, but in his heart, he feels that the emperor must be old and useless, leaving the good prince who is dedicated to the people, and driving him to the Nanman.

   But having said that, this is Nanman's blessing.

Look, when King Jinnan came, they used the light and labor-saving Quyuan plow, planted high-yielding grain seeds like gods, installed water trucks for free for villages that had difficulty in irrigating, and allowed them to exchange fodder for beans and sugarcane. Money in exchange for high-yielding seeds.

  Out of gratitude to King Jinnan, many people spontaneously sent home-made pickled vegetables and dried vegetables to the purchasing station, and left some words of comfort:

   "My lord, don't be discouraged!"

   "The prince's departure from Beijing is a loss for the people in Beijing, but it is a blessing for me, Nanman!"

   "My lord, the Nanman people will always support you!"

   "..."

   Yan Kejin was stunned for a long time after receiving the special products and condolences spontaneously donated by the people from various counties and counties brought by the owner of the shop.

   "Who spread the word?" There was a bit of annoyance in the cold voice.

  He never thought about using the people to achieve his own career.

   "My lord, it was Li Chenghe, governor of Baiyue County, who did it." Yan Qi immediately came in to report after receiving the tip.

  Yan Kejin twitched the corner of his mouth when he heard this.

   Li Chenghe is his man, and he puts his great cause first in everything, which is why he took the opportunity to promote it.

  But Li Chenghe didn't know that the purpose of buying fodder beans and sugar cane was to make soy sauce and sugar, not to promote high-yield grains and win people's hearts as he thought.

  Grain seeds are for promotion, but have nothing to do with the acquisition of the above two things.

   "Let him sit in his position as the county guard. If he needs to cooperate, the king will naturally inform him and let him stop making his own decisions."

"yes."

  Afterwards, in order to prevent the people from paying too much attention to the government affairs, so as not to be overly verbal and get burned, Yan Kejin consulted with the princess and released the news that several major workshops joined forces to recruit workers.

   Compared with the direction of the court, eating and clothing are the most important things that the people care about most.

  Xu Yin didn't say anything in front of the servant, and cooperated with him to implement the job recruitment in place. When the two of them were alone, they couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

  Yan Kejin pinched her with both hands: "Laughing at me?"

Xu Yin wiped the tears from her laughter: "Don't dare! The people in the fiefdom are all your backers now, and they are shouting to support you, and I advise you not to be discouraged. How dare I... Hahahaha... Don't scratch... "

   "..."

  Finally, the prince who was ashamed and annoyed, carried him to bed and suppressed the law on the spot.

  Xu Yin: Mistake!
