Chapter 120 Tomato
Chapter 120 Tomato
Wang Xian also followed Wang Kuang to see the liquor. The Lin family sent a few clever servants to follow him, and there was also a company in charge. After all, the Lin family invested a lot in the liquor, so they were also very concerned. Especially when they heard the people sent by Cheng Chumo that they had burned a glass jar that could hold a pound of honey, the Lin family was already overjoyed. Before that, except for the palace, only a few dukes like the Cheng family could take out the size of a fist-sized glass jar. The largest used by the people is only half the size of a fist. What does that mean?
Seeing Wang Kuang coming, the craftsmen who burned the glass stopped their work and came to greet Wang Kuang respectfully. The master and apprentice were a little scared when they almost refused Mr. Cheng's invitation. At this moment, they were really grateful to the young master for using some means to suppress them. Otherwise, how could they have witnessed such a large glass jar being born in front of their own eyes? And after hearing what the young master said, it seems that he had seen a jar that could hold three kilograms of honey before, which made the master and apprentice more respectful to Wang Kuang.
Wang Kuang just confirmed it. The burned glass jar is exquisite to others, but in Wang Kuang's eyes, there are still many shortcomings. Not to mention the spots of impurities, there are still many bubbles, which cannot be compared with those used by the royal family. But in the eyes of the Lin family manager who accompanied him, it is very different. He praised the son-in-law for being really good at it.
"Erlang, Erlang." Wang Kuang was thinking about returning home, and Cheng Chumo rode a horse and ran wildly, followed by several horses, which were two empty horses that Yuchi Baolin and Qin Huaiyu each led. The horses still ran until they were close to each other before stopping, and they were not as usual, and they stopped a dozen feet away.
"Erlang, hurry up and get on the horse. If you have time in the afternoon, go to see the Mao people." Cheng Chumo and the other two did not dismount, but immediately urged Wang Kuang to get on the horse.
"This?" Wang Kuang was a little hesitant. Although he had learned riding horses in Jian'an, he only dared to let the horses trot and did not dare to run wildly. If he wanted to run wildly, it would take a long time to practice. Wang Xian rode horses even fewer times. Every time he wanted to go to Wang Village, Chen Da and others took Wang Xian.
In the end, Wang Kuang and Qin Huaiyu rode together, while Yuchi Baolin took Wang Xian. Cheng Chumo's body was too big. If he wanted him to take someone, the speed would definitely not be faster.
On the way, Cheng Chumo explained the situation to Wang Kuang, saying that at noon this day, people from the palace called all the princes and princesses back, saying that His Majesty suddenly wanted to get their knowledge, so he came to the supervisor who was told by Cheng Chumo to report the message. Cheng Chumo then hurried back to lead the horse before Wang Kuang came: "If I had known that Erlang, you were not good at riding, you would not have to spend this effort." Cheng Chumo did not laugh at Wang Kuang's bad riding skills. Nowadays, who is good at riding skills is not a wealthy family or a wild person? If Wang Kuang's riding skills are good, he would be surprised.
The Cheng family's village is in the east of the city, while the Huangzhuang is in the north of the city. The two villages are separated by a Longshou Mountain, so the meal is here. Someone has been waiting at the gate of the Huangzhuang to take them in.
The ones Cheng Chumo pointed at Wang Kuang along the way were some rare beasts or flowers offered by various places and vassal states. Wang Kuang smiled and looked surprised: "Oh, it turns out that this is a kirin. This monster is so weird, so tall and has such a long nose. Uh, this beast recognizes it, white crane..." The manager who led the way was full of pride when he heard it: "I don't like the most about the place to report auspicious things, but it's not easy to dispel their good intentions, so all the birds and beasts presented here are raised here."
"Erlang has opened his eyes this time. Not everyone can see so many rare treasures. Hey, where have people gone?" Hey, looking around, he saw Wang Kuang squatting beside a few grasses that are taller than calves.
Wang Kuang almost thought he was dazzled and carefully looked up and down. Yes, it was tomato. If he had not been through it in the early years, Wang Kuang still thought that tomatoes were alien species. However, once he checked the ingredients and found that tomatoes were authentic local species. They grew up in Shu and were taken out and then brought back. They were similar to peanuts. If the earlier seeds were not discovered in archaeology, the two would have always been wearing the hats of alien species.
Cheng Chumo glanced at the manager who led the way. The manager knew what he wanted and said quickly: "I don't know what this thing is, and I forgot where I presented it. Because the fruit ripened, it looks like a lantern, and it is red, so beautiful. We call it a lantern fruit in private."
Wang Kuang doesn't like tomatoes. He is not used to it and is not sweet. Wang Kuang still remembers that when he first ate tomatoes when he was a child, he vomited after just one bite. However, this does not prevent tomatoes from being an important ingredient. Its sour taste is relatively unique, unlike the sour taste of vinegar. Many dishes have a lot of color and are also very nutritious. Therefore, tomatoes are basically sold as vegetables, and they will not be placed in the fruit pile in the supermarket. As a dish, at least Wang Kuang can create more than a dozen tricks.
Seeing that Wang Kuang was interested in this so-called "lantern fruit", Cheng Chumo thought of the peppers, but he refused to miss the opportunity. He waved his hand carelessly and said to the manager: "You have so many plants here, I will move a few plants home tomorrow to raise them for the old man to avoid the old man's attention every day."
"This." The manager was a little embarrassed. Cheng Chumo couldn't let him hesitate and patted his shoulder: "That's it. I won't treat you badly. How about giving you two cans of chili sauce?" Wang Kuang rolled his eyes when he heard this. He didn't believe that Cheng Chumo was willing to take chili sauce himself. In the end, he asked me, Wang, to go out?
"Since my uncle wants it, then just move it away. Some of the seeds harvested last year. If you plant them now, if you take good care of them, you can still make up for the gap." The manager could not resist the temptation of two cans of chili sauce. He bit the buds and stomped his feet and agreed.
"Since you have seeds, then you need seeds? Brother Chumo, don't make things difficult for this manager. If one day the palace thinks of removing the lantern fruit, wouldn't you harm him? You are naturally not afraid of being a young master, but this manager will have to take responsibility." When Wang Kuang heard that there are seeds, of course it is the best seeds. Whether the tomato you transplant now can survive after transplantation is still unknown. If you want seeds, you have to wait for the autumn. It's better to just ask for seeds. According to the current climate, you should still have time to plant them. You can harvest a lot after autumn. After the greenhouse is ready, you can plant them in Jian'an.
Of course, Cheng Chumo was the one who could do whatever he said, and turned around and smiled: "Then just seeds, how many of them do you have? Give them all to someone, of course, I will give you chili sauce."
Since as long as the seeds are taken, the manager responded happily, and if you pick them yourself, you will only use them for emergency purposes. Usually, the seeds you pick every year are placed and useless. You can exchange some useless seeds for two cans of chili sauce. This business is cost-effective and too cost-effective.
When Wang Kuang unexpectedly saw tomatoes, he became interested and hiked in the flowerbed, hoping to find other fruits and vegetables, such as cucumbers, but he didn't find them. However, tomatoes are worth it. It seems that he has to have a good relationship with the people in charge in the future. If he encounters strange flowers and plants offered to other places, he will get some seeds for himself. This is much easier than looking for things like a headless fly.
The manager didn't like Wang Kuang very much, but when Wang Kuang said the opinion was full of support from the young master, he looked at Wang Kuang in a different way. He carefully answered Wang Kuang's questions along the way, guessing the origin of Wang Kuang. But after guessing, he couldn't remember which young man from a family could get so close to the young man. You must know that the young man's temper is as hot as his father. And this young man looked very gentle, and he didn't look like he was with the young man no matter how he looked.
"Hehe, Xiao Si, don't underestimate Erlang. Do you know who made the chili sauce? Wang Erlang and the Queen's illness have improved recently. This is also Erlang's credit." Seeing the manager's eyes rolling, Cheng Chumo patted his shoulder again. He was so strong that he staggered the manager named Xiao Si, and almost didn't slap him down.
"Oh, young master, you are gentler. Xiao Si's body bones cannot withstand your big hand slap." Xiao Sizi's teeth grinned and rubbed his shoulder that was slapped by Cheng Chumo and complained.
Soon, a few people came to a separate courtyard. Before they could enter the courtyard, they heard a low roar, mixed with one or two servants' angrily shouts. Hearing the roar, Wang Xian was a little scared, and he held Wang Kuang's sleeve tightly and refused to let go.
"Don't be afraid, little boy, the beasts raised here have been locked tightly with iron chains and cannot hurt anyone." Xiao Si comforted Wang Xian when he saw this. Seeing this, this child was very concerned by Wang Erlang and thought he was a brother. Cheng Chumo's words just now scared him and said in his heart that he was lucky. Fortunately, he didn't take the color, otherwise he would offend the noble person.
