my lord, please eat

Chapter 63

Living in Longyu is one month.Gong Xiaoyong fully understood how hard it is for a county magistrate.At least he felt that his prince was very busy every day, and even An Qi and Zuo Zhuang were tired in their own way.All he can do is to make a dinner for everyone every day.Although at first Xing Yihong totally disapproved of his little concubine cooking food for these subordinates, it's not that he didn't hire a cook to cook.But Gong Xiaoyong thought that if he didn't do anything else, he would be completely useless, so the prince could only compromise.

Even though the order of life is being restored, many buyers and sellers have begun to travel to different places to purchase various daily necessities and food, but resources are still scarce for a while.Fortunately, there are mountains and rivers here, and the people in the village whose homes are still being rebuilt can take advantage of the vitality bestowed on them by God.Wild vegetables and even mushrooms have grown in some forests where the moisture has gradually returned to normal. Even if the amount is not too much, it is better than nothing.

On this day, Gong Xiaoyong was busy having dinner in the county government kitchen again.I heard that the new county magistrate sent by the capital will arrive in a few days.At that time, I and Yihong will have to return to Beijing.It is estimated that the officials sent by the emperor this time must be reliable.The people of Longyu should be able to live a good life for a few years.At least the emperor has issued a decree that within five years, the farmland and forests under Longyu's rule will be exempted from taxes.[-]% tax cut for shops.In fact, if you do the calculations, the money collected from the national treasury by eliminating a corrupt official is probably more than the taxes paid in the past five years, right?

This time Gong Xiaoyong has already used up all the vegetables in the yard of her villa.He was a little depressed that the space plants in other people's homes could grow indefinitely and quickly, why the ones in his own yard were the same as the ones outside, at most they would not wither, and would continue to bloom after being picked off.It can be as long as it takes from flowering to maturity.It's really not a place to get rich!Fortunately, my prince has a lot of money!Yihong is indeed much more reliable than space!At least in terms of eating and drinking...

He sent out two pots of greens two days ago, and when he opened them today, he found that the bean sprouts had already sprouted, and the quality was very good.The ones are white and fat. Although they are not as long as the bean sprouts eaten in the previous life, they are rounder than those.Gong Xiaoyong tasted it, the taste was crunchy and slightly sweet.Really nice.

The dinner that day was solved with bean sprouts.The soybeans soaked in the morning have grown from a small handful to a half pot.Originally, I also thought about soybean sprouts, but suddenly I wanted to eat the texture of soybeans, so I decided to make soybean meat skin sauce with pork skin.The yellow sauce made by the locals has a strong sauce flavor, not so salty, which can better bring out the original umami taste of the ingredients.Gong Xiaoyong likes this yellow sauce very much.He also learned how to make this kind of sauce from the aunt who gave him yellow sauce.As for the actual operation, he really can't say.But he has already put a jar in his villa.In the past few days, I have been "serving" the sauce jar very attentively.Soon even the prince will be jealous.

Part of the fermented bean sprouts is used for stewing soup.Gong Xiaoyong remembered that she had seen a vegetarian chicken soup made with bean sprouts and apples on TV.At that time, he did it once, and he thought it was quite similar.Thinking about it today, I decided to make this big pot.For this reason, he also deliberately exchanged a catty of milk on the instant exchange website.Thinking of the thousand points lost, he felt it was worth it.Even his own prince is busy on the construction site every day, not to mention the secret guards who are working hard in different positions.

For the remaining bean sprouts, he made a cold dish.Sweet and sour, slightly spicy, it goes well with rice.He used most of the remaining bean sprouts to make boiled fish.Just this morning, two villagers specially sent a pot of grass carp over.Said it came from Yu Heli's website, and sent it to the prince and princess as a way of expressing his heart.Gong Xiaoyong didn't accept it at first.These fish may be a dish for a few days or even half a month for the common people.Although they also don't have any good materials here, but the dry goods I took before and the vegetables grown in the small courtyard, no matter how bad they are, there is an instant net to support them.

But seeing the disappointed expressions of the two villagers, he couldn't bear it anymore.In the end it was accepted.But he didn't let the two of them make a trip in vain, and gave them a pack of sesame candies, which was left over from the three nephews and nieces of the Mo family before.It's just that there are so many options for eating and drinking on weekdays, and I forget it after a long time.Just let them take it back today, at least it can make those children happy.

He hasn't finished the boiled fish here yet. It's time to prepare.Someone over there came to tell, and someone came to deliver things at the gate of the yamen.

Gong Xiaoyong felt helpless and warm about this.From his standpoint.Following Xing Yihong to come here is to help these people to help them tide over the difficulties, and it is his duty to do these things.He didn't expect to receive the kindness and love of so many people after doing what he should. He was really flattered.He didn't understand. Don't those officials feel that being liked by the common people is happier and happier than Qian Quan?

That night, the big guys got addicted to three servings of boiled fish served in a bowl.Compared with Xing Yihong and An Qi who can often eat the food made by Gong Xiaoyong, these hidden guards in the imperial camp are envious of the prince's good food every day.It is a great blessing in life to have such a princess by my side!

In fact, the boiled fish made by Gong Xiaoyong is not so strong in taste, so the pancakes with multigrain noodles can be both enjoyable and not too exciting.However, the people who have been busy these days are still a little irritable, so he made another pot of chrysanthemum tea in the end.This chrysanthemum was bought at a medicine shop, although it is not as fragrant as the one I picked and dried in the imperial garden before, but the medicinal effect is the same.

When the two returned to the space, Gong Xiaoyong took out a clay pot.The pot is about the size of two palms, but it's still a bit deep.

When the lid was opened, a sweet and fragrant smell wafted out.Xing Yihong raised his eyebrows: "Osmanthus glutinous rice balls?" But there seemed to be more than enough in the pot.

Gong Xiaoyong said: "This was brought by an old lady for us to taste. It is sweet-scented osmanthus taro and glutinous rice balls. I only tasted the soup at that time, but it was delicious! Try it quickly." A glutinous rice ball was handed to Xing Yihong's mouth.

I ate this glutinous rice ball with Gong Xiaoyong's hand: "The taste is soft and glutinous, sweet and delicious. The aroma of osmanthus is really pleasing. I can tell that the old man put his heart into it." After taking the spoon, he also gave Gong Xiao Yong scooped up one.

"Actually, these glutinous rice flour and taro must be very precious to her family now. And this sweet-scented osmanthus honey is not a cheap thing. But if I don't accept it, it seems that I am sorry to everyone. Take it, and then I can't bear it. In fact, I think that the common people really don't ask for much. That is, to eat, clothe and live in peace. Those who are ambitious all day long are still a minority!" I tasted a piece of taro, and it was just as delicious!It's really sweet in the mouth, and sweet in the heart!

Xing Yihong sat down and put Xiaoyong on his lap: "But in this world, most of the people who can emerge to be remembered by people are those few people. Well, let's not talk about these. Just now when I was eating fish, suddenly Thinking about it. Is it possible that those places that are occasionally flooded will be replaced by fish ponds instead of farming. In this way, the villagers can not only guarantee their income, but also don’t have to worry about whether the few acres of land will suffer in summer. There will always be a shortage of fish. It’s better than seeing the land flooded, right? Although the output of rice will be less. But demolition of those big houses built on good land can make up for it.”

When it comes to people's livelihood and livelihood, Xing Yihong has a lot to say recently.Gong Xiaoyong understood some of them, but did not quite understand some of them.

Gong Xiaoyong felt that.My prince has his family, country and world in mind.If he were to be the emperor, he would not necessarily be worse than Xing Yice, or even better.But that restrained his temper, and the emperor knew that there were so many things that he couldn't help himself.Just like what Xing Yihong said: Sometimes even if you know it would be better to do this way, due to various reasons, you can only choose another one.Actually... it's much easier to be a prince!

In the next few days, the two walked around the disaster-stricken village in Longyu.The houses that had been destroyed before had been cleaned up long ago. Although the new houses hadn't been built yet, seeing the structures of those half-built houses, Gong Xiaoyong knew that these houses were definitely much more secure than the previous ones.Moreover, Xing Yihong ordered all houses to retreat 200 meters from the river bank.The foundation was dug and stones were used to lay the foundation below, and the frame was made of hard, strong and corrosion-resistant wood. It is definitely not as good as reinforced concrete, but its reliability for decades is still guaranteed.If the weather is good and there is no man-made damage, it is actually not difficult to maintain it properly and persist for a hundred years.

Xing Yihong really learned a lot from Gong Xiaoyong's computer.Although he is also the kind of cramming, such as water control and house building, he only researches it when he encounters it.Even though he couldn't understand those difficult technical terms, the general things could be understood by Gong Xiaoyong's reading.It has to be said that the prince is a person with an absolutely high IQ. He cannot be completely consistent, but he can absorb part of the essence for his own use.This is actually enough, if it is too whimsical, it is not a good sign.

When they went to "inspect".He was unanimously loved by those villagers.Because Xing Yihong often appeared on the construction site, and occasionally rolled up his arms and sleeves, the villagers were afraid at the beginning, then respected him later, and now they feel that the prince is very kind and dare to speak and laugh.Everyone is used to it.Gong Xiaoyong is another guy who is born with a "unity" aura. He has been regarded as a bodhisattva since he gave porridge. When the two came, they followed many half-grown children back and forth.

Gong Xiaoyong was quite happy.But I feel a little embarrassed.Although he knew that these children didn't want anything from them, he always felt that it would be a bit stingy if they didn't give each of them a piece of candy.It's a pity that the stock in the space, except for some seasonings and pickles, has been exhausted.

Picking a dry place, the two sat down.Just in time for lunch, the two originally planned to go back to eat.As a result, he was "stopped" by a group of villagers.To put it bluntly, it is nothing good, but it is also their intention.

Recently, "One Heart" has become the word that Gong Xiaoyong is most afraid of hearing.Every time people say that, he can't bear it anymore.But seeing the way Xing Yihong calmly picked up a bowl of miscellaneous grain porridge and handed it to him, he had nothing to say.

No one came to disturb the prince and princess during the meal.That's why Xing Yihong was able to talk to Gong Xiaoyong: "What's wrong?"

Gong Xiaoyong confessed: "There are no more in stock! The food we brought from the capital is all gone. I should have brought more if I knew it. You didn't tell me that there are still twenty or thirty hidden guards!"

Xing Yihong smiled: "If it's gone, it's gone. Look at these multigrain porridges. Although the taste is not good, it's still delicious to chew when you're tired."

"Of course I know it's very fragrant. And it's good for the body. It's much healthier than eating fish and meat all day long. I don't think that if you can eat a bite of disaster relief food, you can eat one less bite." Scooped a mouthful of porridge and sent it away When it comes to the mouth, it is actually boiled to full heat, and there are diced pickled melons in it, which is quite delicious.

"Those who can work can do a lot of work if they eat more. Do you think we two are people who have nothing to do for free?"

Gong Xiaoyong glanced at him: "Don't try to distort my intentions! I'm being frugal and cautious, and I can't find it! But by the way, when the county magistrate arrives in a few days, we have to leave, right?"

Xing Yihong nodded: "Yes. What's the matter? Homesick?"

Gong Xiaoyong shook her head: "I think there are still so many things to do here, and I will definitely think about them when I go back, right? Although I haven't known you for that long, I think you really put your heart and soul into solving them. these questions."

Xing Yihong smiled and patted Gong Xiaoyong's head: "But the recovery here will always depend on the people themselves. There is no banquet in the world that lasts. Alright, eat it quickly, this multigrain porridge is really bad when it gets cold have eaten."
