Chapter 95 Not Paying
Wu Mei was surprised when she saw Gu Qing calling her husband and pulling a cart of ice, "Husband, have you robbed the ice cellar of His Royal Highness the King of Wei?"
"No, no, no," Gu Qing said, "That was given to me by His Highness the King of Wei. That fat man looked stingy, but in fact he was quite righteous in his heart. We should greet him well when the fat man comes in the future."
Di Renjie followed Sun Simiao with a basket of herbs on his back, and was stunned when he looked at the cart of ice in the scorching sun.
Sun Simiao was also stunned for a moment.
"Move in quickly, move quickly, how can you cool down if it melts?" Gu Qing told the servants at home. He felt very beautiful when he looked at the ice like a hill. Well, very beautiful.
As soon as Gu Qing arrived, Li Erfang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji also arrived. The emperor is just wearing ordinary clothes. Gu Qing hurriedly bowed, and the villains in the family bowed.
Princess Changle knew that her father had come, so she hurriedly walked out of the Taoist temple, "Daughter, pay homage to the father."
Li Er looked at his eldest daughter with pity, "Lizhi, are you getting better? You have lost a lot of weight."
"Daughter, it's much better." Princess Changle said, "Over these days, my daughter has been praying for blessings and also praying for peace between the father and the mother."
Princess Changle has been in the Taoist temple for more than a month. She has become good neighbors with Wu Mei and often visit each other because she is rarely at ease in the Taoist temple. Princess Changle likes the secludedness here very much, and has recovered her energy and has become more fairy-like.
"It's good if you are happy." Li Er looked at his daughter, "When you have time, come and see me and your queen. Your queen misses you very much."
"Daughter knows." Changle lowered his head and said a little choked.
The emperor came to see his teacher himself, and Di Renjie was inexplicably excited! Sure enough, his master was an amazing person. He allowed the current emperor to visit at a young age.
Back to the topic, Li Er looked at Gu Qing, who looked thrifty, "Qingque said you have food?"
"There is...a little bit." Gu Qing said shyly.
"What are potatoes?" Li Er continued.
"Your Majesty is here." Gu Qing took Li Er around his house, and there were several small warehouses behind the Taoist temple, "all of which were inside."
"Open." Li Er said to Xiao War Room.
"That." Gu Qing whispered, "Your Majesty may be a little more back."
Li Er took a step back.
Gu Qing said again, "Your Majesty retreated a little longer."
"Are you finished?" Li Er couldn't help it.
"Okay." Gu Qing suddenly opened the door.
The moment the door opened, Li Er's eyes suddenly turned black, and countless potatoes gushed out of the warehouse and hit him.
"I said it, step back a little." Gu Qing looked at Li Er's embarrassing appearance.
Until the last potato fell, Li Er was submerged half of his body, calmed down his breath and picked up one, "This is a potato."
"Yes." Gu Qing said.
"How much is the yield per mu?" Li Er continued to ask.
"Probably..." Gu Qing said thinking, "Not much, one acre is only thirty-four stones."
"What did you say!" Fang Xuanling stepped forward, "One acre of thirty stones! Gu Qing should not talk nonsense!"
"Really! There are only so many teachers, and the varieties are not particularly good, there are only so many." Gu Qing said and pointed to the other three warehouses, "There are potatoes in it."
Do you think it’s too little? Fang Xuanling suddenly felt that the weather was getting hotter.
"One acre of thirty stones of food!" Li Er asked Gu Qing, "Do you know what the crime of deceiving the monarch!"
"There are planted in the field." Gu Qing dug out a potato and dig out the soil and roots.
Li Er straightened his eyes. There were seven or eight potatoes connected to the rhizomes, each of which was the size of a fist, thirty stones! One acre of thirty stones per acre! This is auspicious for the Tang Dynasty!
"How to eat this thing?" Fang Xuanling thought of the key point.
"The teacher asked," Gu Qing said as he started to make salt-baked potatoes. "In fact, there are many things to eat, you can cook and roast them, but it is not easy to cook. It is best to cook them for more than half an hour."
Princess Changle kept standing aside, watching Gu Qing explain Tudou to her father, and couldn't help but envy Wu Mei, who had a husband who was so good to her wife.
After making a pot of salt-baked potatoes, Gu Qing took them out one by one, holding them a little hot, and touching his ears with his hands.
Li Er looked at a light layer of salt foam on the potatoes, "You are too wasteful of salt when you eat. There are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who can afford to eat like this."
"Isn't there any other way to eat this?" Gu Qing disagreed. "In fact, my family is full of refined fine salt, so you don't have to spend money to sell official salt."
"You can still make salt?" Li Er's eyes widened.
"It's not difficult." Gu Qing said and stripped one and handed it over to Li Er, "Your Majesty can eat it."
Fang Xuanling noticed that a potato had a very thin layer of skin, which was edible inside, and the value of potatoes was once again raised in his heart.
"One or two is enough to fill your stomach." Gu Qing said as he also peeled one of his teacher and Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said nothing.
"You really know how to make salt?" Li Er was sure. Fortunately, he didn't kill this kid at the beginning, and he was indeed in stock.
Gu Qing nodded, "Actually it's quite simple, you can learn it once!"
The potatoes tasted good, fragrant and delicious. Li Er nodded and stood up satisfied, "Although you have a lot of food, it can also solve the temporary urgent needs. I have taken it away, are you willing."
"Take it away?" Gu Qing said, "Your Majesty is buying grain from me? That's the price..."
"You have the final say." Li Er was in a good mood and no longer felt ache. "I will send someone to get the money. You can come to Tai Chi Palace to find me for it."
Li Er left while eating potatoes, and was in a good mood.
Gu Qing sat on the pile of potatoes with a drooping face and looked desperate. He went to Tai Chi Palace to find the emperor to get the money? Do I dare to take it? He felt wronged and left a potato, "Don't bring such a bully."
Puff...
Princess Changle, who had been standing aside, couldn't help laughing when she looked at Gu Qing's depressed look.
Gu Qing turned around and looked at Princess Changle. She held back her smile and left and returned to the Taoist temple. Then she looked up at the sky. The emperor didn't pay for buying things, and was there any other way to the king?
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Di Renjie saw that Gu Qing had no desire for life and asked in a low voice, "Has the teacher lost the money?"
"It's more serious than losing money." Gu Qing sobbed, "Di Renjie, you have to remember that the people in the royal family are all bad people, and they don't pay if they take the things!"
Di Renjie understood something, "Teacher, you are a great merit to help the victims."
