The Emperor of Qin gave six handsome men
Chapter 104 Sour and Sweet
"My Lord, be good, do you want to explain something?"
Dan Yao had already put her down, and Qin Xingfu looked at the other people.
"Explain what?"
Why can't she understand?
"Gongshu Yuan said you taught him a lot."
Ying Bu took her hand and kissed it.
"Or hand-in-hand?"
Mi Fu raised an eyebrow and asked.
"You didn't teach us."
Dan Yao was dissatisfied.
"Sir, you say, I believe you."
Yue Xin was standing by and was still worried that she would lose her temper.
"Yes, the villain Gongshu Yuan."
Xuhe leaned against the wall.
"Sir, don't be afraid. I'm just worried that you've been deceived by him. He's good-looking and talented, and I'm afraid you'll be tempted."
Qin Xingfu rolled his eyes when he heard that.
"Which eye of yours saw that I was interested in him? You all said he was a mean man, so you believe what he said? I taught him because he was really talented, and it would be much easier to teach him than the ten people I taught in Jiaodong. If I teach him, I will have more time to accompany you in the future. Otherwise, do you really want us to separate like this? Second, Your Majesty intends to use Gongshujia, and I'm afraid our situation will be more difficult in the future. Can't we get along peacefully first? Maybe I can take care of you in the future."
When they heard her say this, they felt guilty and hurried to comfort her.
"My Lord, I'm sorry, we are narrow-minded!"
Apologize first after winning.
"My Lord, would His Majesty really do that?"
Mi Fu was worried.
"None of this matters. I feel like you don't trust me at all. If you continue like this, you're doubting me as a person, which is really sad."
Qin Xingfu never gave Gongshu Yuan a thought. She just thought he was good-looking and pleasing to the eyes. But he was too scheming and she didn't want someone like him around.
"My Lord, I'm sorry!"
Ying Bu kissed her.
"I see, sir. We will work hard on it."
Dan Yao felt that he had a long way to go.
"Any more questions? If not, I'm going to tell you. Have you been letting your children run wild too much lately? Qin Ni caught a snake today. Fortunately, it's non-venomous. If it was poisonous, what would the children do? I don't even dare to think about it."
Mi Fu has been helping Dan Yao recently. The child is basically owned by Yue Xin and Ying Budai, and they both feel guilty.
"Uh... this was an oversight on our part. It won't happen again."
"Humph!"
Qin Xingfu took the initiative, sat up and crossed his legs.
Tan Yao said while looking at the long legs.
"I put mosquito repellent sachets around the house and on the children. It's late at night, sir."
"Don't go too far. We have already made it clear, but why are you still messing around?"
"How could that be? You are overthinking, sir."
The misunderstanding was resolved and Yue Xin went back.
Xuhe asked for a kiss from her and left, and Yingbu kissed her, she said.
"Sir, Dan Yao and Mi Fu will serve you tonight."
Queen Ying kissed her goodbye reluctantly.
"good night!"
Qin Xingfu looked at the remaining two people.
"Is that how you play?"
"My Lord, I'm worried that you won't enjoy it."
The main reason is that they found that if everyone was alone, everyone would have back pain the next day and needed to rest.
"I'll accompany the children, you guys play by yourselves!"
Qin Xingfu didn't want to pay attention to them and just got up and opened the door.
Mi Fu hugged her and said.
"My Lord, if you don't accept it, forget it. I'll wait for you tomorrow night, dear! The children are asleep, you can stay with them tomorrow."
Mi Fu felt that if she really did that tonight, she would be really angry.
Only Dan Yao and she were left in the room, and Qin Xingfu asked with a cold face.
“Who thought of that?”
Dan Yao said with a smile.
"Sir, don't be angry, I'm worried that you'll be satisfied!"
"Am I that impatient? Take your hands away."
"It's not that you're impatient, it's that we missed you too much. You don't know how we managed to get through these days. We agreed on ten days, but they told us to wait a few more days. How could we not miss you?"
Dan Yao said nice words to coax her.
"Alright, alright, this is just an emergency. I'll try to keep my word from now on."
Seeing that she didn't care anymore, Dan Yao kissed her, and Qin Xingfu responded by putting her arms around him.
................................................
Before she opened her eyes, the children were calling her.
"Mom, why did you fall asleep here? Get up and play with us today."
Qin Xingfu felt a little tired, but she had to accompany the children, so she had to cheer herself up and get up. She had only slept for less than an hour. She really felt that it was deadly when a man got jealous.
She played with the children in a drowsy manner, and had a good sleep during the lunch break. She finally felt full of energy and continued to accompany the children in the afternoon.
I spend time with my kids during the day and play cards at night. My life is so comfortable.
But there would be some people in the family, and without exception, they were all people whose families had fallen on hard times and asked her to help keep their heirlooms. No one knew who said she could keep them for them.
Li Ze, who was always talked about by Qin Xingfu, went back home and spread the news about Qin Xingfu everywhere, which attracted many people to follow his example.
Qin Xingfu was so delighted when she saw all kinds of books in the room that she bought some lacquer at a high price, and she was determined to keep it well.
Yue Xin was frowning, as the money sent by His Majesty was almost running out.
"Sir, why don't you tell others about this method? We don't have enough money at home."
Qin Xingfu looked at the account book and thought, okay! She was indeed a spendthrift, so she announced the preservation method of the bamboo slips. However, the price of raw lacquer soared, and it became difficult to find lacquer throughout the Qin Dynasty.
Lacquer trees grow over a wide area, and many counties have even gained some additional income from them.
Qin Xingfu had used up all the transparent lacquer she had prepared. Looking at the brand new bamboo slips, she felt a little proud inside. China has a long history, and the history of using lacquer is also a long one. This is probably the first time that lacquer is needed on such a large area.
In a blink of an eye, I had been at home for another ten days. Jianglu and his team had returned to work. According to the new technology, the boat was finally made to function normally.
Qin Xingfu continued to teach Gongshu Yuan, hoping that he would learn quickly so that it would be easy to build hydroelectric power stations and solar energy in the future. She also taught him knowledge about high-speed rail, airplanes, and magnetic levitation. He had a really strong ability to learn.
After a few months, he developed his own logic and thinking. Qin Xingfu was very pleased and felt that he could go home and retire.
"Sir, can that sugar cane be used for boiling? Here is the sugar-making device I drew based on your description. What do you think?"
Qin Xingfu looked at the drawings and thought they were very good.
"Yes, you can do it this way. Once these are done, you can harvest the sugarcane."
She has become numb to this talent. She was envious, jealous and resentful at first, but now she has become calm about it. The ancients were so smart!
Gongshu Yuan was praised and immediately arranged for Gongshu's people to start building the site.
"Well, once you've made the arrangements, come to my house and call me."
The base can now operate completely independently, and she has more time to spend with her men and children.
"Okay! Do you need me to take you there?"
Qin Xingfu nodded. This man was considered her apprentice, so it was normal for him to send Song off.
After returning home, Qin Yue and the other two were forced by Mi Fu to study, so she took Qin Shan, Qin Chuan and Qin Wuzhi to the ditch to catch fish and shrimps.
Caught by Yue Xin.
"Sir, the weather is getting a little cold now. The children just recovered from a cold a few days ago. How can you take them to play in the water again?"
"Hehe... Isn't this about letting the children have a complete childhood? Then it should be okay to let them herd cattle, right?"
"Forget about it. Yue'er broke his arm last time he rode a bull, and you still want the kids to ride a bull. I think it's you who wants to play, right?"
Qin Xingfu turned his head away and refused to listen. The children did the same. Yue Xin was really having a headache.
"Come up quickly! Go home."
Several people followed reluctantly. Qin Shan and Qin Chuan made faces at Yue Xin, worried that their mother would say they looked at her. Qin Xingfu did the same, and several people giggled.
"Sir, in less than a year, your majesty has already destroyed the Xiongnu and unified the Western Regions. Prince Hai and Prince Gao have already reunited. Your majesty has also ordered Zhang Han to lead 3 million troops westward to reunite with the two princes. Do you think it will be quick to achieve great unification?"
Ships are being built here and in Jiaodong non-stop. Your Majesty's next step will be to set out on an expedition to the sea.
Qin Xingfu frowned. She felt that the First Emperor was too impatient. If he continued like this, his health might be in trouble.
"I don't know. I heard that Li Si is about to recover. I wonder how your Majesty is doing?"
The First Emperor left her here, not knowing what he wanted to do with her.
"It should be fine!"
"I hope so! In a few days, the sugar cane will be ready for making sugar. I'll cut some and send it to him to ask how he is doing."
"it is good!"
At night, Qin Xingfu felt a stomachache, and Ying Bu saw her holding her stomach.
"My Lord, are you feeling unwell?"
"It should be time for me to have my period. Give me some hot water."
Ying Bu quickly boiled some hot water for her, and Qin Xingfu put on a sanitary napkin. She had done the same thing when she caught a cold in Jiaodong before. The hot water belt was still there, so she put it on her waist and stomach.
"My Lord, are you feeling better?"
"Yeah, it's okay! Much better."
After five days at home, Gongshu Yuan sent someone to inform him that everything was ready.
"My dears! Let's go have some fun with mommy today."
"Okay, okay!"
Qin Ni was the happiest. They watched their mother taking Qin Shan, Qin Chuan and others out to play every day, while they had to study. Today was finally a day off.
"Let's go! Let's go watch the sugar cane harvest and see how it's turned into sugar. Give yourself a break."
Qin Xingfu signaled Ying Bu and the others to go together. After thinking about it, the whole family set off together.
When she arrived at the sugarcane field, Queen Qin looked at the sugarcane that looked like bamboo.
"Mom, is this sugar cane? Why is it the same as bamboo?"
"Baby, this is not bamboo. It looks like bamboo, but they are actually two different things."
As Qin Xingfu spoke, he broke a piece of sugarcane into several pieces, and then tore off the sugarcane skin with his teeth. The children watched with grimace.
Qin Xingfu cut the peeled sugarcane into small pieces and gave them to the children.
"My dears, put it in your mouth and chew it, swallow the water, and spit out the residue."
The children tried it and their eyes lit up.
"So sweet!"
"Try breaking off one and eating it yourself. It's so sweet!"
After looking at it for a while, Ying Hou broke off a stick and shared it with Ying Bu. Xu He shared one with Yue Xin. Mi Fu and Dan Yao shared one. The whole family squatted on the ground, chewing sugarcane with a hissing sound.
"Mom, this is sweet, but it's hard to eat."
Qin Yue felt it was too hard to chew.
"I think I've got a blister at the mouth."
The Queen of Qin opened her mouth, and Ying Bu looked at her and said.
"Baby, let's not eat it anymore. We can just eat candy when your mother refines it."
Gongshu Yuan saw that she was late and the whole family was eating sugarcane.
"Why didn't you tell me when the adults came? How do we cut this?"
"Hello, uncle!"
"Hello, uncle!"
The children greeted him and Qin Xingfu made excuses for himself.
"Let me check your results first. They are not bad, and the sugar content is acceptable. Use a knife to cut from here, and then this section can be used to feed cattle and horses, and this section can be saved for planting. Don't damage this bud. Cut three to five acres first to try."
"Good! The sugar making is over there, sir. You can go over there and rest."
"it is good!"
I took my family to observe the various sugar-making devices. It was pretty good. These people were quite efficient.
"Mom, when can we have candy?"
"Wait for uncles and aunts to chop it back and use machines to squeeze it into juice. It will take a long time to boil it before it turns into sugar. Darlings, please be patient and wait~"
The people at Gongshujia finished watching it in the morning. The machine started to squeeze juice and the children watched curiously.
"Watch the children closely and be careful. They may get burned."
After squeezing the sugarcane juice, the cooking begins.
On the long stove, every pot was collecting juice, and Qin Xingfu was responsible for controlling the key processes.
"This is about to burst out. Put it in the middle with a bamboo basket and remove the foam here. The foam can be collected and fermented to make wine. Stir it constantly to prevent it from getting mushy."
Half an hour later, the sweet smell filled everyone's nose. Qin Xingfu looked at the bubbles in the last pot, scraped them repeatedly with a bamboo stick and put them into cold water until they were formed.
"Okay, get a new pot and hurry up and fill it with water."
Thinking that the children wanted to eat, Qin Xingfu filled a bowl of syrup for Yue Xin.
“Be careful of the heat.”
"it is good!"
"Quickly scoop from that pot and move all those in front one pot back."
After giving instructions on the stove, Qin Xingfu took an arm-sized wooden stick, placed it in the syrup pot, and stirred it clockwise.
"Now we need to stir the sugar and make it sandy so that it can be dried into blocks later. If it doesn't sand, it can't be formed and we can only store it in jars."
After about fifteen minutes, the sand was already well-solidified.
"Okay, pour this into the mold, it's a beautiful color!"
It’s golden and sweet just thinking about it.
When the syrup covers the entire mold, the job is done.
"When this cools down, you can take it off and wrap it with dry sugarcane leaves. Make a few more of this so that there will be a steady supply later. I'm afraid it won't be dried in time. This is to get brown sugar. White sugar is more troublesome. We can't scale up now, so let's just do it this way for now!"
Gongshu Yuan had been observing from the side and he learned it.
"Okay, thank you, sir!"
"It's no big deal. Give me the first pot of sugar and I'll take it to His Majesty."
"it is good!"
"Babies! Is the candy sweet?"
“Sweet~”
"Mom, we want more."
"You have to eat in moderation, otherwise your teeth will get worms and be eaten by worms, and then you will have no teeth at all."
The children quickly covered their mouths. They didn’t want to become toothless, which would be almost the same as their sister.
After packing the first pot of candy, Qin Xingfu and her family went home. She left a few pieces for the children to satisfy their cravings, and sent the rest to Fusu, asking him to pass them on.
The First Emperor took it, took a small piece and tasted it. It tasted good, much sweeter than maltose, and he was in a good mood.
"Come here, prepare an edict!"
Qi Le stepped forward to serve the pen and ink.
"Qin Xingfu has made great contributions by donating sugar today, so his crime is pardoned and his civilian status is restored. All matters concerning Xiangjun Ship Base will be handed over to Gongshu Yuan. This sugarcane can be planted in large quantities in counties with suitable conditions. Gongshu Yuan and Xiangjun County Governor Wei Tuo will each be rewarded with a thousand gold coins! The rest will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins."
When you have money, you will be very generous in rewarding others. Qi Le paused for a moment, then continued writing.
Others are all big rewards, for Qin Xingfu, a little bit last time, the first emperor felt that she was bullied like this, she had to resist, right? If she could still endure this, then she really had a big plan.
