The winter sunset falls in the courtyard, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the entire courtyard a golden yellow.
An old locust tree in the small courtyard, soaked in the sun, its leaves gently swaying in the breeze, and the small pond shimmering by the setting sun.
Cooking smoke, accompanied by the sound of chickens and ducks.
"This is the life I want." Liu Bowen stood at the gate of the courtyard and sighed.
"Readers are hypocritical, come in." Zhu Feng beckoned.
Liu Bowen walked into the courtyard and saw an old man busy.
Zhu Feng shouted: "Old Fan Tou, don't be busy, find you a companion." This, a senior official from the capital, left capital Yushi Liu Bowen. "
Old Fan Tou was shocked: "You are Mr. Liu, a famous name for a long time." "
Liu Bowen looked at Old Fan Tou carrying a bag of sweet potatoes, and asked curiously: "Old sir, what are you doing?" "
Old Fan Tou smiled awkwardly: "Cooking pig food, let you see and laugh, we are not comparable to the capital here, and the yard is too messy." "
Liu Bowen was dumbfounded: "This... Are sweet potatoes really used to feed pigs? "
Old Fan nodded, with a very proud expression: "Of course, the pig eats, it grows quickly, this pig is kept for the New Year to slaughter." "
Liu Bowen followed Old Fan Tou with a curious look to see how he cooked pig food with sweet potatoes.
Old Fan Tou took a knife in both hands, chopped the sweet potato, chopped it into pieces, and then threw it into the pot, spreading his hands: "Just boil it again, it's good." "
Liu Bowen had a violent expression on his face: "This... What a good thing, which the people in many places do not eat, can be used to eat, and you use it to feed pigs? "
Old Fan Tou smiled and waved his hand: "When we turn back, we will use this sweet potato, as well as potatoes and so on, and it will be used as tax grain, and the imperial court can promote planting." This thing yields six thousand catties per acre. "
Liu Bowen was taken aback: "Great, how many people can be saved by this." "
Old Fan Tou now had the same expression, when he first found out, he had the same expression as Liu Bowen now.
"Mr. Liu, you sit first, I'll go fry a few plates of home-cooked food." Old Fan Tou laughed.
Zhu Feng had already sat down in front of the coffee table and was brewing tea.
Liu Bowen came over and sat down and spoke: "Hey, it's a pity that Your Majesty put a talent like you in Su County, after I return to Beijing, I will fold to Your Majesty to ensure that you return to Beijing." "
When Zhu Feng heard this, he was angry on the spot: "Who is going back to Beijing?" Liu Bowen, you are less nosy, Lao Tzu is doing well here, don't go to the capital. You want to resign yourself, but you want to push Lao Tzu to the capital, why are you so poisonous? "
Liu Bowen was stunned at first, and then laughed.
He understood as soon as he heard it.
This Manchu dynasty is civilized and martial, and the two of them don't want to be officials, and they want to go back to their hometown.
Because they all saw that this official was dangerous.
......
Not long after, Old Fan Tou brought the food up.
A plate of small stir-fried meat, a plate of shredded potatoes, and a bowl of corn rib soup, Liu Bowen was shocked again.
"What kind of dish is this?" He pointed to shredded potatoes.
"What kind of dish, you can taste it yourself." Old Fan Tou said with a smile.
Liu Bowen tasted it and nodded constantly: "It's crispy and delicious, I've never eaten it before." "
Old Fan Tou said proudly: "This is shredded potatoes, potatoes cut into shreds, in fact, most of the time, we also use potatoes to feed pigs." "
Liu Bowen had a black line: "Your pigs here eat so well?" "
Old Fan Tou laughed and served Liu Bowen a bowl of corn rib soup, introducing that it was corn.
"So sweet and delicious." Liu Bowen praised.
"Actually, after the corn kernels are dried, we also use them to feed the pigs." Old Fan Tou said.
"Okay, it's you pigs who eat, we haven't eaten it." Liu Bowen was not angry.
The three laughed and cooked.
After eating, Zhu Feng and Liu Bowen sat under the tree to discuss monasticism.
Liu Bowen was proficient in Confucianism and Taoism, and also had his own experience in cultivating immortal cultivation.
"Mr. Liu, do you believe in immortals?" Zhu Feng asked.
"Maybe there is, it was also before the pre-Qin Dynasty, and now it should be no immortals." Liu Bowen smiled, "Ancient Fangshi sought immortals, and after the Han, there was no more. "
"Fangshi used to be so brilliant, why is it gone?" Zhu Feng asked.
Liu Bowen slowly took a sip of tea, pondered for a long time, and said:
"I once read in an ancient book that Emperor Wudi of Han could not seek immortals and drove all the Fangshi out of the Central Plains, and after that, there were no real Fangshi in the Central Plains."
Zhu Feng was curious and asked, "Driven out of the Central Plains, where did you go?" "
Liu Bowen spread his hands: "The jade gate is closed." "
Zhu Feng wrinkled his eyebrows, it was the first time he had heard this statement.
Liu Bowen looked at the Dan furnace in the courtyard and asked, "I heard that you met Wudang Zhang Sanfeng?" Also bought Taoist cheats with ten taels of silver? "
Zhu Feng picked up the "Rootless Tree" on the table and handed it to Liu Bowen, and smiled: "This is what that sloppy old way gave me, and I don't know if he is considered an immortal now." "
Liu Bowen looked carefully, and his eyes flashed from time to time.
"Mr. Liu, I have a doubt, "Burning Cake Song" was written by you?" Zhu Feng asked.
Liu Bowen was shocked.
Because the "Burning Cake Song" was written by him and Zhu Yuanzhang when they were present, they were never circulated to the outside world, and the emperor also ordered him not to disclose it to the outside world.
"How do you know about the baked cake song?" Liu Bowen asked.
Zhu Feng smiled slightly and read a few words:
This city is full of personal conquests, and the mountains and rivers of a courtyard are forever happy;
The bald man came to Moyuan, and half of the heroes returned home.
The northern Hu captured his life, and the imperial driver took the peace;
The heroes who miscalculated did not dare to advise, and the old spirit covered the lord's horror.
The country pressed Ruiyun for seven years, and the Hu people did not dare to harm the virtuous;
Send the golden dragon back to the old, and the spirit will revitalize the frontier tomorrow.
"You... Are you a descendant of the immortal who passed on my "Baked Cake Song"? Liu Bowen exclaimed.
Zhu Feng sensed that something was wrong.
The reason why he asked about "Baked Cake Song" is because this thing is known as a prophetic book that prophesied a thousand years.
But looking at Liu Bowen's expression and what he said, this "Burning Cake Song" was not composed by him?
"Don't care how I know, tell me, who passed on your "Baked Cake Song"?" Zhu Feng asked in a deep voice.
"It's strange to say, in a dream, an old man passed on to me and asked me to tell His Majesty the Emperor." Liu Bowen's eyes were full of surprise, "Zhu Feng, you actually know "Burning Cake Song", who are you?" "
"I'm just an ordinary person." Zhu Feng smiled loudly.
Liu Bowen saw that he didn't say, so he didn't continue to ask.
But in his heart, he valued Zhu Feng even more.
......
It's snowing.
Under the eaves on both sides of the street, snow particles gently sway in the wind. In the alleys, children laugh in the snow, throw snowballs and build snowmen.
The quaint wooden door panels are covered with snow, and the ancient trees in the city, every brick and every wall, are carefully decorated by snow.
In the back hall of the county, the doors and windows are closed tightly.
The room was warm, the stove was burning charcoal, and Zhu Feng and Su Xiaowan were playing Gomoku.
Although Su Xiaowan had just learned, she quickly understood the rules, but she still couldn't get under Zhu Feng.
She finally didn't wear a blue coat, wearing a white fox, which set off her skin more fair, ice muscles and jade bones, and her temperament was more cold, like a fairy who did not eat the world's fireworks.
"No, we're deciding on Go." Su Xiaowan was unconvinced. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
"I'll convince you of defeat." Zhu Feng spread his hands.
Su Xiaowan took Go, and the two sides began to play against each other.
Zhu Feng was pinched by hand and quickly settled, while Su Xiaowan needed to ponder for a long time. But every time he came up with a trick, he was easily cracked by Zhu Feng.
"Your deduction ability is simply terrifying." Su Xiaowan threw it, "Admit defeat, no more." "
"Isn't that enough to beat me up? May the gamble be lost. Zhu Feng lay on the chair like a grandfather.
Su Xiaowan pouted, stood up, came behind Zhu Feng, and stretched out her slender jade hand to beat his back.
Looking at Zhu Feng's neck, she suddenly smiled slyly, and those cold hands reached directly into Zhu Feng's neck.
"Huh?"
Zhu Feng shouted, his back cold.
"Su Xiaowan, you are dead." Zhu Feng stood up.
He reached out to grab Su Xiaowan.
The two were fighting, Li Hongyu pushed open the door and hurried in, and a cold wind blew in from the door.
"Are you flirting?" Li Hongyu blinked.
"What nonsense? Just his little brat? Su Xiaowan glared.
"In a few years, I will grow up, and you all will be my daughters-in-law." Zhu Feng stood on the chair, "Uncle Ben, I won't treat you badly." "
"Bah, little rascal."
"Think beautiful!"
Su Xiaowan and Li Hongyu rarely stood on the same front.
"Let's get down to business, it's almost the end of the year, construction sites, shipyards, factories are going to be on holiday, right?" Su Xiaowan asked.
"That's natural, and you have to give them a year-end bonus." Zhu Feng said.
"What is the year-end bonus?" Su Xiaowan asked curiously.
Zhu Feng explained.
After Su Xiaowan listened, she was overjoyed: "Sir, the people of Suxian County are the real blessing of the people with you." "
Li Hongyu also said seriously: "Su Xiaowan's words, I agree with it, my lord, it is my honor to be able to follow you." "
Zhu Feng wrinkled his eyebrows: "Li Hongyu, you didn't hold back any good farts, right?" Say something if you have something. "
Li Hongyu smiled: "At the beginning of spring next year, I will go to sea with the fleet of Daming Trading Company, you can rest assured, I will definitely not mess around." "
Zhu Feng shook his head: "Why are you still not dead?" The county needs you, you can't go to sea, besides, the sea is floating, you are a woman's family, how can you do it? "
Li Hongyu said fiercely, "You can not treat me as a girl." "
Zhu Feng blurted out a smile: "Is it? Let's take a bath together tonight. "
Li Hongyu's face was red: "Okay, you wait!" You little brat, wash it. "
Zhu Feng had a black line.
......
In the capital, it also snowed heavily.
At first, snowflakes, like countless small butterflies, fluttered, swirled lightly, spilled from the gray sky, and gradually, the earth was covered with a white blanket.
On the snow-capped Chang'an Avenue, people came out one after another to enjoy this sudden beauty. Children laugh in the snow, build snowmen, have snowball fights, and make snow sculptures, and their laughter echoes over the capital. Vendors are busy in the snow.
In the corridor outside the city gate, every pillar and beam is covered with snow, like a snow-carved corridor. On the city wall, snow fell on each masonry, as if covering this ancient city wall with a white robe. Ancient temple, every Buddha statue is covered with snow, like a guardian in the snow.
Liu Bowen came back on such a snowy day.
He also took two large boxes of things and went straight to the palace.
In such cold weather, Zhu Yuanzhang was still criticizing the fold, and when he saw Liu Bowen, who was a servant of wind and dust, and had snowflakes on his shoulders, he smiled: ".~ Mr. Liu, it's been hard all the way." "
Liu Bowen was in very good spirits: "Your Majesty, the minister is not hard, he went to Su County halfway and played for a few days. "
He knew the horror of Jinyiwei, and his whereabouts would definitely not be able to conceal the emperor, so it was better to recruit himself.
"Hahaha, went to Su County to see Zhu Feng, right? What has that kid been doing lately, I heard that he is tossing hard? Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"Emperor, Su County has undergone earth-shaking changes, as for what, the emperor, you can take the time to see it yourself, then you can really feel the amazing changes in it." Liu Bowen said.
"Hey, you sing Liu Bowen, or this temper, just don't say it, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared.
At this time, a voice came from outside the hall: "Are you scolding Mr. Liu again?" Mr. Liu, if I were you, I would stop picking and choosing. "
Empress Ma walked in with the help of Zhu Biao.
Liu Bowen bowed to Empress Ma: "Niangniang, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you came just right, the minister brought back a few good things from Su County, to ensure that you have not eaten, just taste it." "
He asked the eunuch to bring in the box he had brought.
Empress Ma and Zhu Biao looked at the things in the frame and were curious: "What is this?" "
Liu Bowen's tone was excited: "This is sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, very delicious, just have a charcoal fire, the minister will bake it for you?" "
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his pen and smiled: "Okay, let's bake it in our Wenhua Hall and see what it is." "
Liu Bowen studied with the old Fan Tou for a few days, and his movements were very skillful,
It didn't take long for the scent to come out.
"It's so fragrant." Queen Ma said.
"Niangniang, you taste it first." Liu Bowen handed over the corn on the cob.
Empress Ma ate it, her eyes shining.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also attracted over.
The family of three finished eating corn and eating sweet potatoes, eating sweet potatoes, eating potatoes.
"Berwyn, you said that these were all planted by Zhu Feng?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked incredulously, "He still farms?" "
"Emperor, this is a sweet potato, the mu yields six thousand catties, this is a potato, the mu yields five thousand catties, this is corn, the mu yields three thousand catties." Liu Bowen introduced.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, and Zhu Biao were all shocked.
"What? Berwyn, you're not mistaken, are you? So much mu? Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe it.
"Your Majesty, that's all!" Liu Bowen spread his hands, "Do you know? The people of Su County fed pigs with these things. "
"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded.
"Feed the pigs!" Liu Bowen affirmed, "I didn't believe it at the time, but later I visited the people's homes, and it was true." "
"Their pigs eat so well?" Zhu Yuanzhang glared.
"Well, I want to go to Suxian to feed the pigs." Empress Ma smiled.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to nibble on a stick of corn and said:
"We have to promote these things to the whole of Daming, and then the people will not be left without food."
"Zhu Feng's house will always surprise us."
