After pointing out a few small mistakes in the greenhouse that Hanjiazhuang built for Hu Hanyun, Li Zexuan left in a hurry.

"Ma'am, do you have soybeans or mung beans at home?"

Back at his home in Chang'an, Li Zexuan asked Han Yuxi in the hospital directly.

Yes, he wanted to get some bean sprouts to eat.

Although greenhouse vegetables can provide vegetables on a large scale in winter, they cannot quench their thirst from afar. At least they have to wait for nearly two months to eat them. The green vegetables they ate yesterday were all from the Wei Wangfu.

It's harmless to do this once or twice, but it's not very beautiful if it happens more often.

In the afternoon, the small piece of bean sprouts in the fields of Lao Hu's family made Li Zexuan's eyes light up. It takes a long time for greenhouse vegetables to mature, but bean sprouts are not needed! In this season of lack of vegetables, crisp and refreshing bean sprouts feel much more delicious than big fish and meat!

"Xianggong, there should be lu (lu, homophonic with green) beans at home, but what are soybeans~?"

Han Yuxi heard the sound, thought about it, and asked strangely.

Mung beans and soybeans have a history of planting for thousands of years in China. They existed before the Western Zhou Dynasty. The ancients called mung beans Ludou. Although the words are different, they have the same pronunciation. Therefore, when Li Zexuan said mung beans, Han Yuxi could also understand what he meant. .

But soybeans are different. At this time, there was no such name as soybeans. Later generations of scholars generally believed that the word "soybean" first appeared in the "Kaiyuan Zhanjing" (written about 718~726 years), "Soybean" in the Tang Dynasty. When books such as Youyang Zazu appeared, the language of Shu and Soy was all used before.

Regarding soybeans, there is another interesting story. During the reign of Emperor Wenzong Li Ang of the Tang Dynasty, a strange thing happened in Chang’an, the capital city: soybeans, which were originally priced at a flat price, skyrocketed overnight, and one stone of soybeans sold for ten taels of gold! It is said that Emperor Wenzong of Tang loved women with big breasts very much, and there was a palace maid with the surname of Wang. Just because a certain part was abnormally prominent, he flew up the branches and turned into a phoenix. He was promoted to Zhaoyi and became a celebrity beside Emperor Wenzong.

With this successful precedent, the concubines in the deep courtyard of the harem began to buy and store soybeans in large quantities, which they must eat at every meal. Because according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, soybean has a certain effect of breast enhancement. With the help of the buying frenzy of the concubines, the price of beans in Chang'an City has grown faster than the modern house price!

"Uh... it's soybeans, lady, do we have soybeans at home~?"

Li Zexuan patted his head, mobilized the memory of the body's predecessor, and quickly changed his words.

"Yeah! Yes! What does the husband want soybeans and lentils to do?"

Han Yu replied sympathetically.

Li Zexuan laughed and said, "Hey! Madam, you will know when the time comes!"

After saying that, he went straight to the kitchen excitedly, and asked Aunt Zhao, the cook, to ask for a scoop of mung beans and a scoop of soybeans, and then soaked the two kinds of beans in clear water. He is quite familiar with the steps of bean sprouts. Soaking the beans in water is only the first step. According to his grandmother's experience, the beans must be soaked for at least 8 hours before proceeding to the next step.

"Xianggong, what are you doing with the beans? Could it be that you want to grind tofu?"

Han Yuxi followed, and after seeing what Li Zexuan had done, she couldn't help but ask.

Hearing this, Li Zexuan turned around, looked at Han Yuxi's chest and said with a wicked smile, "My husband, I only eat tofu, but I can't make tofu!"

"What are you talking about, Xianggong? Aunt Zhao is still here!"

Han Yuxi blushed and said angrily.

Although she didn't understand the meaning of "eat tofu", but seeing the wicked smile on Li Zexuan's face, she guessed the general meaning, and secretly said that her husband sometimes looks like a gentleman, and sometimes he is lustful, bad, and It's so special!

Aunt Zhao outside the door hurriedly coughed and walked away.

Seeing Han Yuxi's shy face, Li Zexuan couldn't bear to tease her any more, so he returned to the point of preaching: "I want to make beans for my husband to make them germinate. Although our family has made two greenhouses to grow vegetables, if you want to eat the vegetables inside, you need to say less. It will last for two months. After the bean sprouts, take the sprouts and fry them in a pot. It is also a delicious dish! Before the vegetables in the greenhouse come out, this dish is a very good substitute!"

Han Yuxi is obviously not the kind of girl who doesn't eat fireworks and doesn't know farming. She frowned and said, "Master, this bean has been soaking in water, I'm afraid it won't sprout, but it will stink!"

Li Zexuan said with a smile: "Of course I won't let it soak in the water all the time, there are still more steps to come! In the morning, my husband will take out the beans and put them in a bamboo sieve covered with wet gauze, and then put them on the bamboo sieve. In a basin filled with water, the basin should not be too large, just enough to allow the beans to breathe.

The bamboo sieve needs to be covered with another piece of wet gauze, and finally a heavy bowl is pressed on it. The weight of the bowl can make the bean sprouts grow thicker. After that, water the beans three to six times a day to keep the beans moist. Continue to cover with damp gauze after drenching. On the fifth day, the bean sprouts on the corners have grown and have roots, so you can eat it! "

Han Yuxi listened carefully, and at the end, she asked, "Master, how do you know so much? Have you done it yourself before?"

It was mainly because Li Zexuan said something serious, which made her wonder if Li Zexuan had made bean sprouts before, so she was so surprised.

Li Zexuan touched his nose. Although he had never done it himself, he had seen his grandmother do it many times.

"Cough cough! That's it!"

Li Zexuan coughed dryly and said vaguely: "In short, lady, you will be able to see what this bean sprout looks like in five days, and you can taste it.

To this deliciousness! "

Han Yuxi put her hand into the water basin, stroked the soybeans in the basin lightly, raised her head and said, "Xianggong, the Zhuangzi and the Yanhuang Academy both need you, you still have a lot of work to do, so leave this to your concubine. Let's do it! Concubine has memorized all the steps you mentioned earlier, so it's not a hassle at all, and concubine will definitely do it for you!"

Li Zexuan thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's good! There's Mrs. Lao!"

He is still very reassured about the ability of his daughter-in-law to do things. In some matters, Han Yuxi's level of care even made him feel inferior. The daughter-in-law he married seemed simple, but it was not.

"Xianggong, Dad already knows that you want to promote greenhouse vegetables on Zhuangzi. He said that since you are confident that you can grow vegetables in winter through this method, then you can use this method to make the other six Zhuangzi in our family rich! But Dad said There is one thing you may have overlooked, he asked his concubine to remind you!"

Han Yuxi took her hand out of the water basin and suddenly said straight to Li Zexuan.
