Chen Xu washed up and changed his clothes and came to the balcony on the third floor of the hotel again.

The wooden floor has been covered with mats and a circle of low desk tables are placed on which wine, bowls and chopsticks are placed, as well as snails, river shrimps, crabs, fried rice, etc.

Four concubines kneel on both sides of the chairman, spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Shui Qingrou Ying Shiman Meng Wan Yu Ji Chen Xi and others knelt on the right side of the chairman, with a desk each.

Guangling County Magistrate, Wei County Magistrate, several Su Laos and the Garden Master, Chen Kuan, each with a desk to hold the left.

The balconies are five meters long and wide, and there are bamboo curtains that can be rolled around. This is the most common wooden building pattern in the southeast. Because the summer in the southeast is hot, many people like to sleep on the balconies, including Wuhu Garden in Wuzhong. The restaurant not only has a balconies, but also a large corridor for sightseeing. There will be no open architectural pattern in the northwest, because the houses that are airtight everywhere in the northwest are not conducive to keeping warm in winter.

Seeing Chen Xu coming up in refreshing shorts and short sleeves, everyone stood up to greet him. Only Chen Xi buried her head in the bowl, like a pig eating fried rice. No matter how Ying Shiman reminded her, she was unwilling to look up.

"It's okay, let Xi'er eat it!" Chen Xu sat down cross-legged in the main seat, picked up a snail and said with a smile, "Since the wine and food are all ready, don't be polite to eat and drink, hurry up and try my husband's skills to cook?"

Seeing Chen Xu's unruly and relaxed expression, Guangling County Magistrate and others all looked relaxed, and they saluted each other and sat down to eat. For a moment, toothpicks danced around, sucking soup and adding hands sounds one after another.

"Well, it's delicious. I've eaten snails before, but compared to what the marquis made, it's exactly the same as sand and gravel!" The county magistrate praised while adding hands, and at the same time, he couldn't stand a snail again.

"Dry-fried river shrimp is equally delicious, Xiaguan has never eaten such delicious river shrimp!"

"This fried rice is also eye-opening, rich and delicious..."

The county magistrate and the other group of old men were so excited that they rolled up their sleeves and started working left and right. The fried rice with shrimp, field, snails, crabs, and eel slices were everywhere, and the soup was splattered.

Compared with a group of local buns in Guangling County, Shui Qingrou and others are much more elegant in eating. They can taste snails and river shrimps, but everyone has a special liking for a bowl of fried rice with fragrant golden rice mixed with green beans and red shrimps. They are chewing and tasting them slowly, and from time to time they will come together to discuss and evaluate this latest delicacy invented by Chen Xu.

When Chen Xu and others started eating, Xiao Chen Xi had already eaten the second bowl. It was obvious that the fried rice made by her father was very fond of her appetite. Even Yu Ji, who was very restrained in eating, was very happy to eat. From time to time, she would secretly look up at Chen Xu, and only with her little daughter was shy.

After traveling thousands of miles apart, Chen Xu made various ingredients from all over the country in a variety of ways to take care of them. The snails and shrimps are almost daily snacks, and I don’t know how much they eat in various delicacies.

Therefore, traveling around the mountains and rivers was an inspection for Chen Xu, and a group of women was a journey of eating, drinking and having fun.

I have eaten a big river pig that is more than a meter long in Jiangling.

I have eaten crab roe paste with fatty hairy crabs in Dongting.

I have eaten pythons in Changsha, swans in Poyang, tigers in Jiangxi, and Jinluan in Qingyang.

Dragon and tiger fight, Buddha jumps over the wall, stewed mushrooms with pheasants.

Beggar chicken, boiled fish in water, and turtle in mushroom soup.

The mountains swimming in the water flying in the sky can grow on the ground. In this wilderness, in this era where there are more wild animals than people, Chen Xu will refuse. These high-quality ingredients will become less and less in the future. If you don’t eat them at this time, you will be destined to regret it for the rest of your life.

Because as the Qin Dynasty unified the world, the economy took off and the food production increased, and the court's demand for the population strongly encouraged childbirth, the population will inevitably usher in a decade of explosive growth. At present, the population has exceeded 30 million. When a large number of children born after the six countries are unified, the Qin Dynasty will usher in an explosive population growth within ten years. According to the calculations of the Academy of Sciences, the total population of Qin will exceed 50 million in ten years, and if nothing unexpected happens in twenty years, it will exceed 10 million.

The territory of Daqin is now large enough and it occupies enough land. Although agriculture has not yet escaped the low-level farming model, it is still more than enough to support tens of millions of people.

However, as the population increases and the scope of reproduction gradually expands, humans and wild animals will also begin to enter a state of advancing and retreating. The intensification of human activities will greatly compress the space for wild animals to live, and a large number of animals will be hunted and driven into the deep mountains and wilderness.

In order to protect animals and plants, Chen Xu decided to introduce laws on the protection of wildlife and plants and natural environment in a few years, prohibiting the hunting of large wild animals such as giant pandas, bisons, elephants, rhinos, and prohibiting large-scale cut down of trees and excessive land reclamation at the sources of rivers and the Loess Plateau.

Carry out the environment to protect nature, so that humans can live in harmony with nature. We cannot cause a large number of extinctions of animals and plants and soil erosion due to excessive population growth and demand. In a few years, Chen Xu will request the abolition of laws that encourage fertility, so that the population can reproduce according to natural laws, so as not to repeat the mistakes of later generations of China.

A large population will certainly bring huge demographic dividend effect to the country and do everything quickly. After all, the theory of large populations is not good. However, people and machines are different. They have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate when they are born, and they will inevitably consume more natural resources. In addition to the large-scale damage to the natural environment, the increase in population is the pressure of food, and the year of high yields is good. Once a large famine is encountered, if food relief is not provided, huge civil unrest may lead to an instant.

In history, many uprisings actually occurred during the chaotic and famine years of the imperial court. The people did not know why they could still endure hunger, but if someone secretly bewitched, it would inevitably lead to chaos.

This is true for the Yellow Turban Army, Li Zicheng, and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

As the ruling class and vested interests, Chen Xu needed to maintain the stability of the entire Qin Dynasty. This was not selfishness, but fairness. Human beings had the laws of human development, and all actions that destroyed the laws and natural balance would eventually be backfired.

The current agricultural and industrial levels of Daqin cannot withstand the blind growth of the population without restrictions. Encouraging childbirth should be restrained, because according to scientific speculation and calculations in later generations, the most suitable population in China should not exceed 300 million. This per capita resource ratio can ensure that everyone can live a happy and fulfilling life. It is not a dream for every household to live in spacious villas and small foreign buildings, and it can also protect rivers, lakes, forests, grasslands, and wild animals and plants to the greatest extent, ensuring that humans have more ecological barriers and natural space.

Therefore, you must make plans to control population and protect ecology early.

If the population of Daqin can grow to 300 million within thirty years, then the momentum of population growth must be curbed twenty years in advance and the peak of the population should be delayed as much as possible. At the moment, Daqin's current state is almost the limit to bear 100 million people.

This is a new question that Chen Xu kept thinking about based on what he saw along the way.

There are too many children. Whether in rural areas or towns, you can see groups of children everywhere. All of these children are not naturalized. Within ten years, these children will become the main force in building the Qin Dynasty. When this group of people get married and have children, the population will grow exponentially.

If a person has no future, he will have immediate worries.

A country without planning will lead to chaos.

The five-year plan and ten-year plan will constantly reliate on the experience accumulated by later generations to correct the development direction of the Qin Dynasty. As long as the carriage does not deviate from the correct direction, the future of China will inevitably be brilliant and bright.

"Mr. Marquis, this fried rice is really delicious. You have worked hard all day and have some!"

The four concubines of spring, summer, autumn and winter kneeled and served by Chen Xu. While eating, they did not forget to pour wine and pick up vegetables for Chen Xu. Qiuxiang used spoons to pick up some fried rice and fed it to Chen Xu's mouth.

"Yeah, it's really good to make this fried rice for the first time. Don't worry about me, just eat and drink by yourself!" Chen Xu chewed and swallowed a bite of the fried rice, then wiped his hands and raised his glass and said with a smile, "Mr. Tang County Master Shen Yuanzhu, everyone, come and drink together!"

"I'm thankful for the Marquis for cooking such delicious food myself. Today's warm hospitality is very grateful. Marquis, please, please~"

"Please~"

Everyone quickly wiped their mouths and hand and held up the wine glasses.

A unique mulberry wine entered the throat, and the banquet became more relaxed and lively. While the group talked freely, they did not forget to toast the water, Ying Shiman Meng Wan and others. While the cups were mixed, the sunset slowly set, and the fields, rivers and lakes slowly rose with the faint mist. A half-string moon appeared quietly in the southeast of the sky, and the hot breath became refreshing with the rise of the moon and became refreshing in the evening breeze.

After drinking and eating, the banquet was removed. Under Shen Kuang's arrangement, a group of dancers wearing light gauze skirts danced gracefully under the accompaniment of musical instruments. The lights in the restaurant were brightly lit and singing, and the lively sounds resounded throughout Guangling City, causing countless people in the city to stop and watch and listen in the streets.

This was the grand occasion of Qinghehou drinking and having fun in the restaurant, county zun and others. Soon, well-informed people began to spread. Today, Qinghehou not only cooked a peerless dish for the weaving women in the silk factory, but also cooked a delicious egg fried rice in the back kitchen of Shenyuan.

"Egg fried rice?!"

Everyone was surprised to hear that although everyone said that Qinghehou is the master of the chef industry, the fried rice in the eggs should not be considered a delicious food.

Because since the iron pot and the habit of eating more rice in the south, someone soon invented the simple and delicious food of egg fried rice.

It's delicious, just because there are eggs inside.

But even with eggs, this delicacy is just a home-cooked meal and will never be available. Not to mention the use of county magistrates and a group of famous scholars and sages.

"What do you know? The Marquis' egg fried rice is golden, and not only eggs are included, but also bacon, shrimp, green bean sauce. After it is fried, it is green and red, golden as brocade, and the whole Shenyuan is fragrant. How could it be the fried rice you think?" The insider couldn't help but sneer at it.

"Hiss~" The person who heard it couldn't help but someone sucked hard, and felt his soul trembling.

Damn it, so many ingredients are added, this egg fried rice is not good enough if it doesn’t taste delicious.
