The grass in the factory should be plucked

It is now late autumn, and the first batch of cassava planted in Da Chu is about to be harvested.

Hearing that cassava is poisonous, many people are confused: how can we eat this poisonous thing?

After discussing with Jiang Li, Cui Jue and others, Nangong Qinghe decided to use cassava as the staple food at the palace banquet, and the emperor would taste it himself.

This strategy was very successful. The emperor ate it and even praised its deliciousness. What else should we worry about?

In particular, the pastries made with cassava flour are crystal clear in appearance, tender and sweet in taste, and everyone from the emperor to the ministers praises them.

After the palace banquet, many ministers came privately to ask Prince Jing'an for the recipe of cassava jelly.

Jiang Li naturally shared generously, and the pastry shops under the Longmen Trading Company also took the opportunity to launch a variety of new pastries, all made with cassava flour.

What about crystal glutinous rice balls, flower jelly cakes, pearl meatballs, crystal dumplings, thousand-layer cakes...

In particular, the treasure of the store, the Hundred Flowers Crystal Basil, is made by stacking hundreds of kinds of flower jelly cakes layer by layer to look like a nine-story tower. It is crystal clear and full of flowers, which is breathtaking.

The cassava series of pastries became an instant hit, and Longmen Pastry Shop was sold out every day.

Since cassava was a disaster relief food, Nangong Qinghe had to prohibit other pastry shops from following suit. Only the pastry shops under Longmen had the exclusive right to sell the cassava series of pastries.

When the news reached the north, the people were very excited. What did the cassava, which the emperor had praised so highly, taste like?

When the people in the disaster-stricken areas heard that the imperial court would distribute this relief grain for free, they all cheered and shed tears of gratitude.

Nangong Qinghe also adopted Mo Qilang's suggestion and ordered local officials to organize the people in the disaster-stricken areas to carry out river dredging projects while the water level in the north was low.

Referring to the method that Jiang Li used to trick the Southern Expedition Army into building a commercial district, work points were counted every day and the common people could use the work points to exchange for relief food to avoid encouraging a lazy and gluttonous lifestyle.

After three days of rest in Yichang, the southern tour team continued its journey to the new territory of Da Chu - Dali Prefecture.

After finding Jiang Li’s carriage very comfortable, Cui Jin brought Nangong Yuanhong and came to “hike” every day.

Nangong Yuanhong was very happy, he finally had a friend to play with!

He is now the only child of the emperor. Zhang Wanwan and three other concubines regard him as the apple of their eye. Which friend would dare to play with him?

Occasionally, relatives of the Cui family would come to the palace to meet the imperial concubine and bring their children with them. These children had already been sternly warned by the adults not to even breathe in front of Nangong Yuanhong, let alone play with him.

Now, seeing these two little pink balls who knew no rules and could only roll and crawl everywhere, giggle, and were even more daring to snatch his toys and destroy them, the little prince felt very surprised and extremely happy.

Cui Jin stared at Xie Buli with shining eyes and pestered Jiang Li: "A Li, how about marrying your Buli to our Yuan Hong?"

Jiang Li was so annoyed by her that she said with a bitter face: "My girl, don't be fooled by her pretending to be gentle, she is a violent woman at heart, and she is absolutely not worthy of the eldest prince!"

Cui Jin smiled and said, "It would be even better if you were as good at fighting as me. You can protect my Yuan Hong from being bullied by others in the future."

Jiang Li rolled her eyes. Is this looking for a daughter-in-law or a bodyguard?

"If Buliru hit the little prince, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Cui Jin laughed and said, "When children are together, how can they not fight? Buli is such a lovely girl, I can only love her, how can I bear to blame her?"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Buli, probably because he thought Nangong Yuanhong and Xie Buqi were too noisy, slowly crawled over, sat down steadily, and then slapped each of them on the butt!

Xie Buqi was used to being beaten by his sister, so he immediately rushed over with a roar. The two of them wrestled with each other, and Xie Buqi was soon pinned down by Xie Buli and had no choice but to take the beating.

Nangong Yuanhong had never been beaten like this before. He felt a burning pain on his butt and burst into tears.

Jiang Li hurriedly took out the medicine from the secret compartment of the carriage: "Quick, apply it to the little prince!"

He then scolded Xie Buli and Xie Buqi, "Buli, I've told you so many times not to hit others! Let go of me, both of you, and stop hitting me!"

Cui Jin took off Nangong Yuanhong's pants and saw that his little butt was red. He couldn't help but laugh and be surprised. Both the boy and girl were born with great strength. I wonder who they inherited it from?

Yuanbao heard the eldest prince crying and hurried over to ask.

Cui Jin smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just children playing around, there's no need to disturb His Majesty and the Queen."

Nangong Qinghe, who was at the front of the team, couldn't help laughing when he heard that the eldest prince was beaten and cried by Xie Buli.

Xie Changan quickly apologized: "I have failed to teach my daughter well, please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Nangong Qinghe smiled and said, "Children fight and quarrel, so adults don't need to get involved. Xie Qing's beloved daughter has the style of her mother at such a young age, which makes me very happy."

But I felt very surprised in my heart. A'li's child was really extraordinary!

The child Nangong Yuanhong not only looks like him, but also has a personality similar to him. He is gentle and quiet, but his shortcoming is that he is a bit cowardly. If he has younger brothers with strong personalities in the future, he will definitely be suppressed by them.

Having a strong prince consort like Xie Buli is a perfect match.

Nangong Qinghe looked at Xie Changan with a smile and decided to let Nangong Yuanhong spend more time with the twins in the future.

Xie Changan's hair stood on end at his gaze, thinking, could it be that the emperor has taken a fancy to Xie Buli and wants to ask for her in marriage for the eldest prince?

My precious daughter is only six months old and she is already being targeted by someone. How can I allow this?

He also decided that in the future he would keep the twins away from the eldest prince!

When they set up camp at night, Xie Changan held his precious daughter on his lap and praised her highly.

If you meet a thief with bad intentions in the future, you must beat him up severely. It would be best if you beat him until he dares not come near you again!

Jiang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is there anyone who teaches children like you?"

Xie Changan snorted: "I'm taking precautions to prevent any one or two people from coming to attack my daughter!"

He also taught Xie Buqi: "In the future, you must protect your sister well and never let other thieves get within ten steps of her!"

Xie Buqi chuckled, completely unaware that his father had assigned him a difficult task.

The same scene was happening in the palace.

The difference is that the father here is teaching his son how to seduce a little girl.

Nangong Yuanhong cried to his father about being beaten by Xie's sister: "My sister is so fierce. Yuanhong doesn't want to play with her anymore!"

Nangong Qinghe coaxed him: "Is Xie's sister very powerful?"

“Yeah!” Nangong Yuanhong’s pretty face was covered with tears, “Xie’s brother is so strong, but he can’t beat her.”

"If you and the Xie family's sister become good friends, will no one dare to bully you?"

Nangong Yuanhong thought about it and agreed. Now that he had such a powerful friend, if anyone disobeyed in the future, he could let Xie’s sister beat him up!

His eyes sparkled and he nodded vigorously: "Father is right, Yuan Hong must be good friends with Xie's sister!"
