see you tonight princess

Chapter 21

Xia Lusi felt sorry for Duan Lingge who had wronged herself because of the emptiness of the national treasury.Duan Lingge is a princess and her wife, so she should be comfortable and well taken care of, but for the sake of money, even living a simple life is intolerable.

Xia Lvsi thought to himself that he was born in a rich family, or the eldest son of the Xia family, and married to the royal family, so gold and silver mountains must be used as dowry.The princess cut down on expenses, and she raised her as Luo.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhuzi scratched his head and said: "Uh, your dowry is quite a bit. It's just that the prime minister didn't expect that the princess would really agree and really want to marry the prince as a consort... I didn't expect this matter to be pushed forward very quickly. Just got married. So, so..."

"Excuse me." Xia Lvsi secretly smiled inwardly.It's true that her father didn't really want to do this kind of thing to marry two girls, he didn't really want to marry her to the princess, he didn't expect Duan Lingge to be so heartless, he really decided to marry a girl as a son-in-law, So her treacherous father didn't care at that time, and the two got married in a hurry. Naturally, her father didn't prepare much money for her as a dowry.

"I have used part of it this year, my son, for your usual food, drink and entertainment, plus the expenses of the house. There is also a large part. This is not because you made a mistake some time ago, and you were fined by the princess for three years... Finally The rest will be used to complete the garden." Xiao Zhuzi said.

"That is to say, my wife fined all my apparent money?" Hey, it's true.Now Xia Lusi has a little idea of ​​ancient money.

"Uh, I need the princess to nod before I can use it." Little Zhuzi smiled doggy-leggedly: "But our son is a man from heaven, born with a treasure in his hand, every gold and silver treasure is a trivial matter, and he is destined to be rich in his life." Prosperity, wealth and prosperity, everything will be fine—"

"Come on, this bunch of auspicious nonsense, New Year's greetings, do it quickly, even if you spend the last penny, you must tidy up the garden as I said." Xia Lvsi kicked Xiao Zhuzi's ass, urging him to do it quickly live.

In the next few days, Xia Lvsi had people dig up the pond mud from the fish pond in Rongqiu Palace. The black and steep silt smelled of corruption and stench.Xia Lvsi was still dissatisfied, so he asked someone to transport more than a dozen loads of chicken manure from a farmhouse in the suburbs.

The chicken manure was mixed with silt, and then mixed with the soil in the yard. The garden was full of sweaty workers who worked day and night for three days and three nights.The ecstasy smell made people dare not approach it, and it lingered in Rongqiu Palace for three whole days.

Duan Lingge originally issued an edict to prevent Xia Lvsi from building large-scale projects in the Rongqiu Palace, but Xia Lvsi ignored the envoy at all.The adults who only came to proclaim the decree couldn't stand it anymore, and went back to report.

As soon as the returned adult stepped back, Xiao'e asked Duan Lingge, "Princess, what should I do now? I heard that the son-in-law sent people to drain the fish pond and caught more than 300 precious koi! And that Chi Persimmon also said, she said, this fish knows how to eat if it is not for production, it occupies the pond and does not work, or eat all of them! Sweet and sour carp, pine nut carp, West Lake vinegar fish, braised carp, golden lionfish , change the pattern every day, and eat you all!"

Xiao'e was vivid, imitating Xia Lvsi's speech with her hands on her hips and stomping her feet, angrily suing Xia Lvsi for eating those most beautiful and precious koi.

Duan Lingge originally had a calm expression, just reading a book.Seeing Xiao'e like this, she couldn't help laughing: "How do you know what she said? Don't you think Rongqiu Palace is too stinky, and you refuse to go there these days?"

Xiao'e was ashamed by the princess's words, and stomped her feet and said, "Oh, some little sisters said that. They were all thinking about the persimmon and gave them a whole fish feast, and they wanted to eat those treasures. Princess~ don't worry about it." ?"

"Okay, let me think about it." Duan Lingge said.

At this point, Duan Lingge resigned to her fate a bit, although at first she was annoyed that Xia Lusi made a lot of construction in the garden, and had to grow vegetables in winter.But now, if she is not allowed to toss, she will toss, and she can't be persuaded.In addition, Xia Lusi is also his son-in-law, tossing around in his mansion, the national law can't do anything to her, and she... Duan Lingge smiled helplessly, forget it, let her be happy.

Duan Lingge felt that she was getting better and better at talking to Xia Lusi. Seeing that Xia Lusi was much more fussy, her tolerance for this monkey's fuss was honed even higher.Ugh, it's a headache.

So after thinking about it for a while, Duan Lingge had no choice but to say softly: "Lan Mo, tell the guards and servants in the palace to prepare more wooden barrels, and send a car to take all the fish in Rongqiu Palace to the back garden of the palace. Let’s put them in the pond, don’t ask the son-in-law to really kill them... don’t let the son-in-law hurt their lives.”

She had no doubt that Xia Lvsi would really eat those cherished fish, because after all, those red fruits that her father gave her in her garden were really eaten up by that idiotic persimmon.

Xia Lvsi got it right, late autumn just passed, and winter was really coming.The weather was getting colder and colder this day, and white smoke could come out when he breathed out.

The son-in-law spent seven days in the Rongqiu Palace, saying that he wanted to grow vegetables.Not only did it spread throughout the Rongqiu Palace, the imperial palace, but even the entire Zhaoli City. All kinds of good things and curious people, from the princes and nobles to the common people, are all waiting to see if the son-in-law is real or not. She wants to grow vegetables in the winter, and what kind of vegetables can she grow in the winter.

Xiao Zhuzi sighed with a smile: "My lord, this is not like a vegetable garden, but a big stage. People look here every day. During the day, there are people climbing up trees in the palace to watch a good show in our garden." .”

Xia Lusi also smiled, and she ordered people to flatten the Nuoda garden into a rectangle, and neatly gather the soil into six rectangular vegetable plots in three rows and two horizontals.Six pieces of land, she also has a vegetable garden of six pieces.The largest "ground" planted in modern times is nothing more than a few large pots of vegetable pots planted on the terrace of one's own home. Coming here, you can have a good time.

Xia Lusi rubbed her hands expectantly. She looked at the neat floor and said with a smile, "You don't want others to see it? That's fine, let's cover it up so that no one can see it."

"Cover it up, what's the matter?" Little Zhuzi was puzzled.

Xia Lusi nuzzled, "Here, those bamboo craftsmen are here."

It turned out that Xia Lvsi asked the carpenters and bamboo craftsmen who set up the bureau to find a lot of skilled bamboo craftsmen and cut down the bamboo in the mountains.The north side of Zhaoli City is full of dense bamboo forests, and the bamboos grow as tall as towering trees.Xia Lusi ordered the bamboo craftsmen to cut the bamboo into two finger-wide, thin and long bamboo pieces.

Bamboo is light in weight, strong in toughness, and easy to bend. Craftsmen bend bamboo pieces into arches along the vegetable soil and insert them into the soil to fix them.From the beginning to the end, the perimeter and the top are reinforced with longitudinal pieces, and finally an arched "tunnel" is made for people to enter and exit upright.

Xia Lusi then ordered someone to carefully cover the arched tunnel with plain yarn bought in advance.In the end, the vegetable fields were made into gauze tents one by one.

After the little bamboo went in, he was amazed: "Tsk tsk, it's amazing. The bamboo made a big tent, covering the vegetable field, and came in like a house. I thought there was no sunlight inside, but I didn't expect the plain gauze to be so light." Like a cicada's wings, it is very transparent, and the light inside and outside is almost the same. Your lord, what is the name of this gauze shed you built?"

Xia Lusi smiled: "Like a house, right! This is called a greenhouse."

"What's the use?" Little Bamboo asked curiously.

"The sun can shine in in winter, and the gauze can retain heat. In this way, the temperature and humidity in the greenhouse are much higher than outside. In addition, an earthen stove can be built at the end, and fuelwood can be placed inside to burn for heating. The heat enters, and the greenhouse can be like spring all year round."

Xia Lvsi's attitude became serious, and she explained patiently, amazed the craftsmen, farmers and bureaucrats surrounding her.

An adult stroked his beard and said, "According to this, it is really possible to sow vegetables in winter, it does not seem to be imaginary."

"Of course it is possible, it must be possible." Xia Lvsi chuckled: "It's just that I haven't planted it myself."

Everyone: ... Hey~ You are talking nonsense.

"Let's try, let's try and accumulate experience. There is nothing difficult in the world. Anyway, I am also from the era of advanced technology. Look at my sister!" Xia Lvsi put her hands on her hips.

"Okay! It will definitely happen! Our son is really a supernatural power, a late bloomer, a genius, unfathomable, and a god!" Xiao Zhuzi gave a thumbs up with a dog-legged face, shouting so that everyone could hear him.

"Ahem. Congratulations." Xia Lvsi smiled and straightened her back, with one hand behind her back and the other fanning her straw hat.

Everyone thought to themselves: ... Alas, we are separated, what are we going to do with a three-year-old child.

Therefore, in Zhaoyang Palace and the huge Zhaoli City, there are anecdotes circulating every day about the beautiful and elegant eldest princess of the Southern Dian Kingdom... the son-in-law, who grows vegetables in the eldest princess's mansion every day.

Today the son-in-law pulled out the exotic flowers and weeds in the garden, today the son-in-law dismantled the pavilion covered with gold and jade, today the son-in-law made half of the palace stinky, today the son-in-law put up strange gauze in the garden Tent, today the son-in-law is really planting vegetables in the winter.

Xia Lusi really started to grow vegetables.She gathered all the people who were good at farming in the princess' mansion, bought a lot of seeds, vegetable seedlings, and melon seedlings from farmers' homes near Zhaoli City, and then arranged her six greenhouses clearly.

First of all, the tomato seedlings that she took care of personally, planted neatly like a baby, and watered them herself.Xiao Zhuzi followed Xia Lusi's buttocks and watched with great interest: "Good boy, cucumber seedlings have been planted in this shed. These seedlings are so beautiful. If they are left outside in winter, they will freeze to death."

"I don't think so. If the situation is good, there will be fresh cucumbers after winter." Xia Lvsi nodded with satisfaction.

"Rapeseed and lettuce seeds are scattered in this shed. Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum and leek seeds are planted in the shed next to it. Hey my son, this kind of leafy vegetables can't grow much. Such a small piece of soil, if you pick it a few times, it will disappear." Xiao Xiao Bamboo felt a little distressed about this one of the few places.

"What do you know, although the yield of leafy vegetables is not high, but the growth period is short, and it can grow in dozens of days. She is waiting to eat, so what to plant soon." Xia Lvsi has her own thinking.

waiting to eat?who?Xiao Zhuzi didn't understand it for a while, until Xia Lvsi continued: "And look at this chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, which is called emperor's vegetable. It has a short growth period, is cold-resistant, and has high nutritional value. It is specially eaten by the emperor. It is eaten by the emperor in winter. , Boil the soup at the bottom of the pot until it is soft and cooked, dip it into the soy sauce with chopsticks, put some spicy seasoning in the soy sauce, eat it in your mouth, don't be too delicious!"

"Emperor's dish! My son, you really know how to name it, it's really wonderful." Xiao Zhuzi praised with a smile again, and then said: "I understand, I dare to love this dish you planted, and I still think about sharing it with the eldest princess and the little emperor. of."

Xia Lusi smiled and said nothing, the vegetables she grew were not for the little emperor to eat, these vegetables were only for the cold beauty to eat.

Then he walked to the last two sheds, and Xiao Zhuzi said, "This shed is interesting. There are radish seeds sown, but you ordered two kinds of radish seeds to be sown. Why?"

Xia Lvsi said: "One is ordinary white radish. White radish is delicious and durable, and it is cold-resistant and grows quickly. It can be eaten within two months."

"This other kind is called cherry radish. A radish is only as big as a cherry. Rinse it with clean water, and it looks like a small red glass ball. It's cute and juicy. It doesn't have the slightest spicy taste of white radish when you bite it down. Crispy, sweet and delicious, not to mention how delicious. The most important thing is that this kind of radish has a short growth period, and it can be eaten within [-] days from sowing to picking. Even the leaves of the radish can be fried in hot oil , fry a plate of crispy, tender and sweet stir-fried radish seedlings, the taste is incredible."

"I've never seen such a miraculous radish, let alone eaten it." Little Zhuzi said in amazement.

"Ha, no one here eats it. Of course you haven't seen it." Xia Lvsi laughed.In ancient society, the cultivation technology was not high, the productivity was low, and the land was planted for a good harvest in order to have enough food, so delicacy and novelty, and even a short growth cycle were all indicators for selecting crops. Only crops with large size and high yield were the focus of the ancients. the key of.

They won't grow and eat radishes the size of small fruits.Farmers in the Southern Dian Kingdom only use it as fertilizer, and scatter the seeds in the fields after harvesting the rice to grow naturally.Go to the spring field and plow the field, and the plants that grow densely in these fields with green leaves, cores and flowers will be plowed into the field as fertilizer.

When Xia Lvsi came back from Li Palace, she saw this thing growing in the field by the side of the road. She had planted it in a flowerpot on her terrace before, and knew that this cherry radish grows quickly and has a beautiful color.At the time, Xia Lvsi thought it was kind and fun, so he asked a nearby farmer for a pack of radish seeds.After I came back, I stuffed it in the corner, but I didn't expect it to be useful now.

Xia Lvsi walked into the last greenhouse, which was divided into several small blocks, and something was planted in each small block.She murmured: "This is the most complicated place. I have grown some leeks, coriander, garlic, and shallots, and I have some seasonings for the side dishes. I can finally cook some delicious food for her."

Xiao Zhuzi watched them one by one, and after hearing what Xia Lvsi said, he immediately felt admiration for the son, and he couldn't help sighing: "This sounds amazing. Not only does it have many novel dishes, but it can also be eaten regardless of the season. Changes. It seems to have an inexplicable feeling, it really seems to be a wonder that can only be found in the sky, it is not in vain that you have spent all the wealth of the treasury for this garden."

"What?" Xia Lvsi suddenly got to the point: "I've run out of money?"

"Well, there is not a single copper plate left."

"Hiss! Am I so poor?" Xia Lusi's eyes widened.

What can I do? ?
