A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

/

What is it?

It is revealed and densely packed. Ouyang Xiu groped and followed the sound.

"Take a taste!"

"I'm afraid it's poisonous."

poisonous?

Ouyang Xiu walked outside the cabin. When he heard the sound, he kicked open the cabin door regardless of his own helplessness and shouted inside: "Where is the traitor?"

Several men turned around slowly.

There were two lanterns hung inside, which were bright enough that Ouyang Xiu could see clearly.

Qin Zhen, Chang Jianren, and several generals all looked at Ouyang Xiu in confusion.

"What are you waiting for?"

Ouyang Xiu found something wrong, it didn't seem to be poisoning. But after all, he is an old man who has learned a lot, and he can get over embarrassing things with just one sentence.

He walked to the edge of the barrel, looked at the densely erected objects inside, and asked, "What is this?"

"Bean sprouts!"

Qin Zhen explained: "This thing... is said to allow soldiers to go to sea without getting sick."

Well?

"Is there such a magical effect?" Ouyang Xiu raised his head and asked, "How to do it?"

"Eat it stir-fried, blanch it and make it cold...and put it into flatbreads...and...make soup...it's very delicious."

Old Ouyang was drooling, "Go, get it out and have a taste."

"You...are not afraid of being poisoned?"

Qin Zhen felt that Ouyang Xiu was a little too greedy and worried that he was testing him.

"What kind of poison did you get?"

Ouyang Xiu pointed to the thing in Chang Jianren's hand, "He ate it alive, what am I afraid of?"

Chang Jianren, who was in charge of recording, looked at the brush in his hand with confusion, thinking that this thing cannot be eaten raw, right? Did Xianggong Ouyang see it wrong? I just licked the tip of the pen out of habit!

He didn't know that Ouyang Xiu's eyesight was bad, and he regarded the brush in his hand as a handful of bean sprouts.

But it’s okay, everyone was planning to get some food.

A group of people collected the bean sprouts, then went on deck, shouting: "Let the cook come!"

The cook came happily. When he saw the bean sprouts, he looked confused and said, "Military leader, what is this?"

"Bean sprouts."

"how to do?"

"This..." Qin Zhen looked at Chang Jianren, "How many kinds were there that day?"

"Stir-fried, stir-fry with meat; and cold salad, after cooking, add more chili sauce; finally, make soup, also add some meat..."

"Yes." The cook went.

Everyone was sitting on the deck, with the breeze blowing. Ouyang Xiu asked, "What is the use of this thing?"

"It is easy to get sick when you go to sea. There is no cure for such diseases. The only way is to eat vegetables."

"So magical?"

"We people in the Song Dynasty always brought wooden barrels with them when they went to sea. There was soil in the barrels, which could be used to grow vegetables. But there were too many people, so we had to bring more barrels and soil, which took up too much space. Once something happened, it would be very difficult. Easily broken..."

"The official said that Mangshan Academy had a thorough study on this matter, so he went to Duke Shen for advice, and he said bean sprouts."

Later, several kinds of bean sprouts were served. Ouyang Xiu flew his chopsticks and finally settled on the cold bean sprouts.

"Crispy yet tender..."

“Hot sauce is great!”

"Let's eat."

"..."

After eating a feast of bean sprouts, Ouyang Xiu said with satisfaction: "How do you make these bean sprouts?"

"Simple!"

Qin Zhen said: "Just soak the beans and then put sand in the bucket..."

It's so simple!

Ouyang Xiu said with satisfaction: "I'll let my family take care of it later. That... this matter... is very important?"

Qin Zhen nodded and said seriously: "It's very important."

"knew."

Ouyang Xiu got on his horse and left, burping and thinking about the magic of the bean sprouts just now.

All the way back to the palace to regain his life, but this time there was nothing he could do. The Political Affairs Hall kicked Zeng Gongliang out and went with him.

In a word, it is better for Zaifu to meet the officials alone.

The two of them went in, and Shen An had already arrived first.

Outside the main hall, the flames of a small stove were rising, and Shen An was holding an iron pot and shaking the spoon...

He has now practiced this skill in a good way. An iron pot shakes up and down in his hand, and the vegetables in the pot fly up and down...

Chen Zhongheng felt that his good friend's skills were really cool. He thought about it and didn't know how to praise him, so he finally wrote: "Amazing skills!"

Zhao Shu glanced at him and felt that this guy had made some progress recently.

Shen An asked casually: "How elegant?"

Chen Zhongheng blurted out: "That's a good trick..."

Thumbs up!

Shen An took the pot and said, "Guanjia, this is fried bean sprouts."

"I'll try it."

The cook next to him looked troubled, feeling that Shen An had deprived him of his rights.

"Um……"

Zhao Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Bite into it. It's crispy, but not raw. It has a meaty, salty aroma... and a little sweet... It's very good, and it goes well with rice..."

"Guan family, I'm back."

Ouyang Xiu sniffed and said, "I just had a meal of bean sprouts at Jinmingchi. I just smelled the smell...it smells so good!"

If Shen An takes action, it will naturally be extraordinary.

But Zhao Shu ignored him, tasted the chopsticks again, and said: "This fried bean sprouts must be paired with cooking cakes to be delicious. It needs to be firm."

This one is also a gourmet!

Shen An looked at his belly and felt a little sad.

Has it started to bulge as well?

While waiting for the cakes, Zhao Shu took out Dali Pills and took one pill skillfully.

"What kind of disease is this thing really useful for?"

He had previously heard from Shen An about the dangers of that disease, which was the biggest obstacle to long voyages.

"Plus tea, and our kimchi pickles..."

Thanks to the great foodie empire, there were many choices within Song Dynasty. Shen An just thought about it and found a substitute.

"Those are easy."

Zhao Shu couldn't help but eat bean sprouts again, "This is easier, just bring the beans on board."

He looked at Ouyang Xiu and asked, "What do the navy think?"

Of course he would not just listen to Shen An's words about this matter, he would also have to look at the feedback from the Navy.

"The Navy said they still have to try..."

Ouyang Xiu was very energetic after eating a feast of bean sprouts. He was thinking about asking someone to try it when he went home and eat bean sprouts at least once a day from now on.

——He had already asked the drugstore on the way just now. Bean sprouts are recorded in the Shenlong Materia Medica. They are called soybean yellow rolls. They are extremely effective!

"How to try?"

Zhao Shu frowned and said: "If we have to go to sea, it would be a waste of time and resources."

"Officials, you can go find patients with that disease."

Ouyang Xiu thinks this idea is good.

But Shen An said: "Guan family likes to drink tea on the grassland... Every year, the market sells a lot of tea. Why? It's because they lack vegetables."

The grassland tribes live by grass, and it is impossible to grow vegetables...especially in winter, it is even more fatal.

"They can only take things similar to vegetables from tea, otherwise they will get sick like those navy soldiers."

Zhao Shu nodded, "Let the Imperial City Secretary ask."

He looked at Shen An and said, "If this is true, your contribution is not small."

hehe!

Credit again!

Shen An left the imperial city a little lonely. He thought about it carefully and found no one worthy of breaking his leg.

It’s really a pity that you can’t use it if you have all the credit!

"Mr. Shen..."

A cry of sorrow came, and a figure flashed...

Boom!

As soon as Wen Xiaozhong moved, he stood in front of Shen An, and then punched the man who rushed towards him.

The man fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face, "Mr. Shen... have mercy on me!"

"This is……"

Shen An took a closer look, "Isn't this Zhong Ding?"

The man was none other than Zhong Ding, who was being coaxed in the restaurant. That day he said he wanted to make the men of Shen An's family slaves and the women prostitutes. Then Shen An shut down his business with just one word. Now it seems that life is not going to be the same. It's a good time!

Zhong Ding got up and begged: "Mr. Shen, you were so arrogant that day. It was someone who instigated you, not someone..."

This shameless guy.

Shen An said blankly: "What instigation? What nonsense?"

Zhong Ding was startled. Of course he didn't dare to say those words in public, but if he didn't say them, it was clear from Shen An's appearance that he was planning to act stupid.

"that……"

Shen An frowned and said: "Look at how pitiful you are, that little brat, give him some money to buy something to eat. Hey! There are so many poor people these days, and I can't do anything about it!"

Wen Xiaozhong took out a handful of copper coins, leaned over and placed them in front of Zhong Ding, and said, "This is from my husband. Go get something to eat quickly."

"certain……"

No matter how poor Zhong Ding is, his family will not have to worry about food and clothing. He came here to pray for Shen An, and what he asked for was to open up the net and allow Huang Yin to resume supplying to him.

"pitiful."

Shen An shook his head, mounted his horse and drove away.

Someone on the side recognized Zhong Ding and exclaimed: "Isn't this Mr. Zhong? Why does he look like a beggar?"

Damn it!

Zhong Ding quickly got up and ran, while there was a discussion behind him.

Soon the news spread that Zhong Ding was begging on the street.

"How's the Zhong family doing?"

After returning home, Shen An asked Wen Xiaozhong.

Wen Xiaozhong said: "The Zhong family is now sitting on nothing. Zhong Ding is looking for help everywhere, spending money like water. The family's expenses have been stretched several times, and now even the servants are complaining."

"The time has come."

Shen An sat in the study and glanced outside.

Outside, Zhao Wuwu and Guoguo passed by, laughing loudly.

"Guoguo said to make him poor, then... get ready."

"yes."

Wen Xiaozhong nodded. The young lady said she wanted to make Zhong Ding's family poor, so even God can't stop the Zhong family from becoming paupers.

Shen An was sitting there reading a book, Huahua ran in and stood on the side looking at him, his eyes full of curiosity.

"What are you looking at?"

Shen An touched the top of its head and said with a smile, "I'll chew the bones for you later."

Huahua whimpered and fell down.

"elder brother!"

Guoguo ran in, with Zhao Wuwu behind.

"Brother, someone is coming outside, so fierce!"

Guo Guo's face was red, and Shen An frowned and said, "Don't stay in the sun for too long."

"good."

Shen An stood up, Huahua also stood up, stretched, bent her waist, then wagged her tail and followed Guoguo.

"Brother, that man looked like he was from Liao Dynasty. He was polite at first, but then he became fierce. What was he asking... Daliwan..."

Was this discovered?

Damn it!

Shen An asked: "Have you finished your homework for today?"

"elder brother……"

Guo Guo pouted, and Shen An said with a straight face: "There is no room for accommodation. Go, it's done...I'll take you out to play later."

Guoguo immediately turned from worry to joy and ran away with Huahua.

Why!

I can’t bear it!

Shen An went to the front yard in a good mood.

"Lang Jun, this person says he is the envoy of Liao..."

Zhuang Laoshi pointed at a man with a tanned tan, "As soon as he came in, he said that our family had made some powerful pills to deceive people."

The men's clothing is indeed the habit of the Liao people, but their faces are badly sunburned, and they look similar to Kunlun slaves.
