Chapter 980: I Suddenly Met a Guest by the River
"Have a cup of tea before you go. The road is long. It's better to take a boat and go with the flow."
On the riverside of Lantian County, Changsun Xin greeted the passers-by.
It has been nine days since Bo E fell down, and the weather is getting hotter day by day.
After the harvest of winter wheat planted last year, Changsun Xin bought a lot of it, hired people to shell and grind it, and made black bread by the way and sold it at the price of one penny.
He didn't even think about returning to the court. What's the point of the court? It doesn't make money.
No one else can take his position as an inspector. He bought three neighboring courtyards in Lantian County and connected them. Later, he bought land from the government.
Continue to build houses and courtyards in the back, so that the area is larger, and there are rockery, small lakes and pavilions at home.
There are several businesses in the family, including textiles, embroidery, sweater knitting, and farming.
His wife bought some wasteland and treated it according to the method taught in the newspaper.
Now we have test paper to know whether the land is alkaline or acidic and what is suitable for planting.
There are few saline-alkali lands in Jingzhao Prefecture. They bought several hundred acres of saline-alkali lands with low salinity. They soaked them in water and planted dandelions.
The roots of dandelions are medicinal materials, and the leaves of dandelions are edible.
The leaves are used to make free soup, which is better than tea and mung bean water in clearing away heat and fire.
The local people said that this soup is delicious and contains meat and bones.
The meat and bones were negotiated by Changsun Xin's wife with the butchers in the county. They only wanted big bones with a little meat, and the price was cheap.
After boiling the free soup for others, the bones were boiled until crispy, pressed into powder, and fed to the large number of poultry.
The entire Changsun family has achieved industrialization and scale. Now the people come to shell the shells and leave him some extra bran.
His inspector can't control people at all. He doesn't care. He just stays at his position and talks to passers-by.
The passers-by are obviously outsiders, and their spirits are different from those of the people in Jingzhao Prefecture.
"How much?" asked one of the three people on the other side.
"No money, you came from there, didn't you drink free soup or water on the way?" Changsun Xin was surprised.
His location is the north of Lantian County, and the other party came from the south, passed through the village and went through the county town, and didn't drink water?
Listening to the accent, it seems to be... Lingnan? Zhang Jiuling's fellow villager?
No, how could Zhang Jiuling's fellow villager not know the rules of Jingzhao Prefecture.
"Really no money?" A young man in his twenties asked, his lips were a little chapped, obviously lacking water.
Changsun Xin nodded, looked at him carefully, and smiled: "Is it the father who brought his children to Jingzhao Prefecture? Going to Chang'an? Drink soup, and I'll give you a black bread."
"Yes, from Luzhou." The woman was not surprised to see the other party recognize her.
Even if she thought she was pretending to be very similar, in fact, she was always recognized by others along the way.
"It's so far, you must have suffered a lot, sit down, don't be afraid, I am the inspector Changsun Xin. Everyone knows it, right?"
Changsun Xin invited the three people to sit down, he was afraid that the three people would die of thirst or hunger.
It was agreed that Jingzhao Prefecture would not allow such a thing to happen, Li Yi's will.
Even after the post station was built every ten miles, as long as you walked on the line of the post station, you would not die of hunger and thirst.
As for not following the post station's route, why? Not taking the official road, but going to open the mountain road yourself?
Three bowls of soup were served first, and the three of them blew and drank slowly, knowing that they could not drink in a hurry.
"Go and tell the lady if there are any wontons at home, bring a hundred."
Chang Sunxin didn't want to give black bread when he heard that they were from Luzhou.
His servant ran away, and the three of them had just drunk half a bowl of soup when the servant rode back.
"It was frozen the day before yesterday, a hundred big stuffed wontons, boneless meat and green onion stuffing." The servant said.
Chang Sunxin shook his head: "The person in charge always likes to use the ice stored in winter to freeze things, wasteful, put it in the pot."
He knew what boneless meat was, there was some meat on the big bones he bought, and some was shaved off, which should be called small minced meat.
The family dug an ice cellar specifically for freezing things. Unlike other ice cellars, this one can store things.
His wife always puts some things in it to freeze, saying that if she packs more at a time, she doesn't need to pack them again when everyone eats. It's okay to freeze them for ten days or half a month.
Accounting saves time. Unless you are selling ice, it's better to freeze things.
Throwing a hundred wontons into the pot, Changsun Xin asked the three to pour out the unfinished soup.
"You came all the way to Jingzhao Prefecture to find a job? You can't pay the rent there and run away?" Changsun Xin asked about the situation.
"No, we came here to find the court to open a Maritime Customs Office. Guangzhou opened one, and everyone went there. No one in Luzhou went there."
The woman was unhappy. We are not runaways, and we don't pay rent.
"Do you know who to find? You don't want to see His Majesty, do you? It's not easy!" Changsun Xin laughed. You said you can find the court by coming here?
You can only find the government office, such as Wannian County, and the ministers in the court will meet you?
"Have you seen it?" The woman was unconvinced.
Changsun Xin nodded: "You see? In addition to being an inspector, I am also the imperial robessier, and I can walk around the imperial city."
"I don't believe it!" The woman was skeptical. She met a man on the roadside who was an inspector and an imperial robessier. What did an imperial robessier do? Could he see the emperor?
"Why don't you believe it? Say something." Changsun Xin said to the people around him.
Everyone laughed and nodded, indicating that Changsun Xin was right.
"Miss, the inspector Changsun is indeed the Shangyi Fengyu, who is in charge of the clothes and desks of His Majesty."
"Inspector Changsun can't go back now, but he has not been dismissed and is still in office."
"If you want to see His Majesty, the only one who can help you now is Inspector Changsun."
The people helped to say it. Yes, everyone knew it, and they also knew that Inspector Changsun wanted to go back on the Qiangong Babu bed, but failed.
"The wontons are cooked, bring a big bowl." The servant shouted.
The big bowl was brought over, and the servant served it. The wontons were big and stuffed, and there were 33 in one bowl.
The extra one was served on a plate and placed in front of Changsun Xin. Changsun Xin took chopsticks, picked it up and blew it, took a bite, and blew it again, and then ate half of it.
He gave the wontons to others, worried that they would be scared, so he ate one first.
"Inspector, don't do this." The older people understood and clasped their fists.
"Eat it. I know you can eat it when you are on the road." Chang Sunxin nodded and ate the other half.
Such a big wonton, for ordinary people at that time, ten would be enough to fill up Li Yi, except for those working on the construction site.
The three people were not polite and ate it with the soup, basically one at a time.
It didn't take much time, they even drank up the soup, and it seemed that they could have another bowl.
"You can't eat too much at a time, I don't need a few wontons."
Chang Sunxin said to the woman, because the woman's eyes showed that she hadn't eaten enough.
"It tastes better than boiled rice." The woman praised.
The boiled rice she was talking about was rice, which was boiled and dried. It can be stored for a long time after being dried.
When they came out, they brought such rice. When they were hungry, they found half a bowl of water in the river kiln, soaked the rice in it, and added some salt.
