The drizzle in March is drizzling.

The fields are green, and wild vegetables are growing everywhere, just in time to help with the famine. Even in ordinary years, the people will not miss these wild vegetables in the fields to make up for the green and yellow, let alone now.

Men, women, young and old all go together, and those who stay in Chang'an and do not leave are mostly those who have elderly people, children or mothers who can't leave. Although it is raining outside, the wild vegetables are green, so how can they stop the people from picking wild vegetables?

The leaves of the green shepherd's purse have grown many, and it stretches out like a small umbrella. It is said that on March 3, shepherd's purse is used as a spiritual pill. Cut a small bamboo or small wood slice in your hand, squat on the ground, insert it into the shepherd's purse root, pull it up with your hand, and pull it up, and shake it with the other hand, holding the seedlings, and the mud on the roots shook off, revealing the white roots and green leaves.

In addition to shepherd's purse, there are so many wild vegetables that can be eaten in the field.

Adults and children can basically recognize the edible wild vegetables at a glance.

Purslane is also called Long Life Vegetable by the people. It can be eaten fresh or dried and made into dried vegetables. This dish tastes very good, but for those who like it, it is as fragrant as leeks, and it is best to use it for chopping fillings. If you like to eat fresh food, then just mix it with cold water, which is also a great choice.

There is also a delicious taste on the river beach and on the hillside, which is the bracken. Some people call it cat's claws or dragon head dishes. It refers to the unexpanded tender buds and leaves of this bracken, which are shaped like dragon heads or cat's claws. The taste of this dish is fragrant and smooth, and it is fragrant and refreshing. This is a rare dish to be served. It is okay to stir-fry, dry, make fillings, and pickle.

This is known as the king of mountain vegetables.

Qin Lang and Prince Chengqian went out to pick wild vegetables together today, and Li Jing, who was in his sixties, also specially accompanied the guards today.

Qin Lang led Cheng Qian along the way, leading him to identify wild vegetables and dig wild vegetables.

"This is not a favorite vegetable, this is a bitter vegetable. The bitter vegetable is yellow flowers, and the favorite vegetable is white flowers." Qin Lang was taking Cheng Qian to dig for fun vegetable on the roadside, a wild vegetable similar to mother-in-law's dine. The favorite vegetable is very tender and has a sweet taste when eaten. It is delicious with cold or stir-frying, and it is also good to make the filling. It will bloom with small white flowers after it is mature.

But the one that Chengqian dugs is a bit similar to the one that Qin Lang dugs, but it has a subtle difference. This dish is actually called bitter vegetable. It will bloom yellow flowers when it matures. It is okay to get it for eating, but it will be very bitter, but it tastes a bit like a dandelion dish.

Cheng Qian took the bitter vegetable he had finally dug up, and carefully compared it with Qin Lang, and divided it for a long time before he could see the difference.

"Can't you eat this bitter vegetable?" He finally dug so much.

"Of course you can eat it." Qin Lang put Cheng Qian's spoils into his back basket. "It's just that the taste is a little bitter. In fact, most wild vegetables are Chinese medicinal materials. This bitter vegetables also have the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. Eating them can reduce fire and clear lungs. What about good things."

In fact, most children can distinguish dozens or hundreds of kinds of wild vegetables, because almost every family has to dig wild vegetables every year. This is not the purpose of digging wild vegetables in later generations. In this era, even if the people were born in peace, they would often eat them with wild vegetables. The half-grain and half-vegetable vegetable porridge is the staple food for most people when they are in a spring.

Wild vegetables can be eaten by pigs, but people can actually eat them.

If you really want to divide it into a level, it will be just a taste.

For example, this bitter vegetable tastes bitter, but it is naturally not as good as a sweet favorite.

"Your Highness, look at this dark green wild vegetable, called Malantou, also called field vegetables, and it tastes very good."

Cheng Qian looked at the weeds he had just stepped on, but unexpectedly it was also a wild vegetable, so he hurried to pick it. The malan head was not as easy to pick as the wild vegetables as the shepherd's purse, and the leaves were smaller. It took him a small handful of them to pick it after a long time.

Li Jing also carried his bamboo basket and followed him to pick wild vegetables. He was surprised that a young man like Qin Lang could recognize almost all the wild vegetables in the field.

And that movement, well, is very skillful.

Some of the honorary children in Chang'an City became playboys, not even distinguishing grains, and treating leeks as wheat seedlings. It is rare for Qin Lang to accurately distinguish various wild vegetables.

The celery, wormwood, wild onions, dandelions, alfalfa, chrysanthemum, wild wormwood, fungus, and the Houttuynia cordata that reveals a few tender leaves but has white roots under it. Even the flowers blooming from the hibiscus tree used by the people's homes can still be picked and cooked.

After picking a large basket of all kinds of wild vegetables, Qin Lang took Chengqian into the mountain.

Toon, locust leaves, bamboo shoots...

Chengqian really never thought that there were so many plants and trees that could be eaten.

"In fact, most wild grasses can be cooked, but some are poisonous and cannot be eaten, while others are bitter and astringent or too titanium to eat. However, some wild vegetables are actually not nutritious and eating too much can easily harm the body, such as bracken and spring bamboo shoots."

Fried spring bamboo shoots and bacon is a perfect dish, especially steamed ham with spring bamboo shoots, which is so fresh and delicious. But if you only eat spring bamboo shoots, it really shaves the stomach and intestines. For the poor, if you simply use this to satisfy your hunger, one or two meals is OK. Eating a few more meals will make people lose energy and the last bit of oil in the intestines will be scraped away.

Bracken is similar, and if you eat too much cattle and sheep, you will even be poisoned to death.

But during famine, when people are hungry, they even have to eat grass-roots and bark. In some Central Plains, sometimes the bark is stripped naked, and it is difficult to eat bark. So some people eat soil and eat a kind of Guanyin soil. But these are actually just temporary filling of the belly, making it so hungry. In fact, they are just cheating on the belly, without any nutrition at all, and may even have serious consequences, which will cause bloating and difficult to digest, and eventually the serious ones will die.

During the Great Famine, those who rely on mountains and rivers should be more lucky.

At midday.

Qin Lang specially took Chengqian to a breeding farm at the foot of his mountain to rest and have lunch. Many sheds were built here, raising cattle, sheep, pigs, and pens. The number of breeding was large and large. There were hundreds of slaves working here, raising thousands of cattle, pigs and sheep.

Just the supporting fertilizer factory behind, you can make a lot of money by processing cattle, sheep and pig manure from the farm and making dried manure into dry manure and selling it to the people for fat fields in one year.

The reservoir at the foot of the mountain raises fish and ducks, and there are many lotus ponds under the reservoir to grow lotus seeds and lotus roots. Ecological breeding has begun to show results here.

It could be a major disaster.

Qin Lang had to slaughter the cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks and geese in the farm in advance and handed them over to the imperial government for disaster relief. The government only gave the farm a note. As for when to pay for these livestock and poultry and what price to pay, there was no agreement, and Qin Lang had no time to care about these.

Let's get through the difficulties first.

The pen was empty, the cattle and sheep were gone, the chickens and ducks were gone, and even the reservoir and fish pond were drained in advance, and all the fish and shrimps were caught.

Most of the slaves were placed outside the pass to avoid disasters, leaving only some elderly people behind.

Seeing that the head of the family Qin Lang was coming, several old men insisted on going into the mountain, and soon got some mountain goods back.

Bamboo shoots, Chinese toon, bracken, and a few wild birds, a bag of fish and shrimps, and even caught a wild boar.

"We are in a deserted situation, and this person has also retreated. However, there are more wild animals on the mountain behind. Last time, a wild boar ran to our pigpen to get a cub."

Qin Lang knew that the wild boar that had come to give birth to the cub was taken by the old men and sent it to Chang'an Mansion. Qin Lang sent it to the imperial palace and the eastern palace, half of it, which could be considered as adding a meal for them. Qin Lang only left a pig's head and stewed a pot.

Still a little aftertaste now.

The old men also have bows, arrows, swords and guns. They often go to the mountains to inspect and hunt. They also have skills. They make traps and set up some traps, and put some fish and shrimps in mountain streams and streams. They can also harvest some fish and shrimps. In fact, life is pretty good.

Qin Lang looked at these wild catches and simply set up a simple stone stove next to the reservoir.

Prince Chengqian was responsible for making fire, war god Li Jing was responsible for cleaning up wild boars, and prime minister Qin Langze was there to cut vegetables and spoons.

The smoke from cooking cooking was curling, and the drizzle fell on the reservoir, causing layers of ripples.

Stewed with wild onions in mountain streams, stir-fried with wild pork with spring bamboo shoots, fried with bird eggs with Chinese toon, and then a wild vegetable pancake.

It is made of local ingredients, and there are no court dishes, but every dish is a seasonal dish.

When the little fish was just fried golden, Cheng Qian, who was responsible for the fire, couldn't help but reach out to steal the fish from the pot and eat it, like a kitten stealing fish.

Li Jing was moved by the fragrance. During the process of killing pigs and dividing meat, he came over to take a few glances from time to time and also brought a few to eat.

A few pounds of small fish, when they were almost golden onions and stewed with wild onions, they had already eaten more than one pound.

The wild boar is a little thin and has a hard fur.

Li Jing first scalded the hair with water, then roasted it on the fire. The crust of the roasted skin expanded golden and the fine hair was all baked, and then scraped it finely with a knife.

After scraping it clean, the stomach is broken, the internal organs are removed, and eight pieces are removed.

Pig's feet and ribs are kept for stew at night, while pig's heads and internal organs are left for the old men to eat tomorrow. This pig is their spoil.

Then I took the front scapula and fryed the spring bamboo shoots.

"God can't starve to death. After the cold winter, you don't have to worry anymore. In these three months, there is nothing to eat. Wild vegetables and disaster relief porridge will make everyone's life better and better. After waiting for a few months, the summer harvest will come."

Li Jing drank the delicious fish soup and nodded and praised Qin Lang's words.

"The glaciers blew away, and the canals can send more grain to the north. When the plum rain season arrives, the summer monsoon will blow north, and then a large number of fleets of ships will be loaded with grain to the north along the southeast coast."

Li Jing was in a good mood. After walking with her for so long today, she had a good appetite. She finished a bowl of fish soup quickly. Qin Lang showed Cheng Qian's eyes. Cheng Qian quickly took the bowl and served Li Jing half a bowl of wild boar and fried bamboo shoots, and also picked up a few wild vegetable cakes.

The wild boar is harder and more timber-fried, so Qin Lang is actually stewed. The enough heat allows the wild boar to retain a certain degree of toughness, but it is tasty and chewable. With the freshness of the bamboo shoots, this dish is very consistent with Li Jing's taste.

"If I had a chef like you in the army when I was fighting, my winning rate would be improved a little more." Li Jing said with a smile.

"Duke Dai is my god of war in the Tang Dynasty, and he has never been defeated." Qin Lang said.

Li Jing waved his hand, "Your Majesty once named your grandfather the God of War in the Tang Dynasty, and I dare not call it this." Li Jing picked up a piece of wild boar meat and ate it very happily while it was hot. After eating porridge for two months, he was extremely eager for oil and meat.

"Sanlang, I heard that Your Majesty summoned you to Luoyang?"

Qin Lang smiled, "Well, this year, 770% of the people in the pass will eat and survive when they go outside the pass, and nine out of ten households in Chang'an have left. We have controlled the hunger epidemic in the pass, but the situation outside the pass is still very serious. After hearing about the effect of Taiping acne, His Majesty sent someone to call me to Luoyang to preside over the prevention and treatment of acne."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and Chang'an are going to be handed over to your right servant She." Qin Lang said as he stood up and bowed to Li Jing with his hands crossed.

"Why should Sanlang treat this kind of ritual? I am the prime minister of the court. Your Majesty arranges to stay in Xijing to assist the prince in the country. This is my duty. Sanlang, please go to Luoyang with confidence. I will help the prince with Chang'an with the Prime Minister Changsun and the Prime Minister Wang."

"The Changsun Linggong will also follow me to Luoyang this time. The King of Shizhong will stay and continue to assist the prince in the supervision of the country with the Right Pushe."

In fact, Qin Lang was not willing to go to Luoyang at this time. Chang'an barely controlled it, but the entire inner and five internal dynasties were not optimistic. But Li Shimin urgently needed Qin Lang, an experienced person, to go there, especially in the prevention of epidemics and acne, and Qin Lang was undoubtedly the most authoritative.

"Immediately, Mr. Feng will send another batch of cattle and sheep from Hetao. In addition, Your Majesty has asked General Su from Youzhou to send us another batch of cattle and sheep. The food will continue to be allocated, and the quantity will also increase. The situation will get better and better. The ration standards we set earlier can also be appropriately increased."

This time the emperor moved to Luoyang and the prince stayed in Beijing to supervise the country. This was a rare opportunity for Chengqian to show his talents. Especially Chengqian had acne disease and was blocked and isolated for more than a month. Rumors were once sensationalized in various middle schools in Beijing, which was shaken by the position of the prince.

Now, with their assistance, the prince has fought a rare beautiful battle and won a good first victory. At this time, he had to take advantage of the victory to pursue and achieve greater victory.

But when the emperor came to summon him, Qin Lang had no choice but to call him to go.

Originally, if Changsun Wuji stayed, Qin Lang would not have to worry. Changsun was Chengqian's biological uncle, and he would firmly protect Chengqian's interests.

But the emperor also summoned Changsun Wuji to Luoyang, and the two prime ministers left behind, Li Jing and Wang Gui, one was the Shangshu's Right Pushe, and the other was the Chief Secretary of the Procuratorate. Li Jing was a core general of the Guanlong Group, and Wang Gui was the Wang family in Taiyuan from the five surnames and seven families.

Qin Lang was really worried about handing Chengqian over to the two of them.

But there is no way, so I can only leave it to them now.

In contrast, among the two, Qin Lang believed in Li Jing more. Li Jing was old and had always been very sensible, so with him, it was not easy to happen.

"Su Dingfang is coming?" Li Jing was very concerned about the Hebei Nian general who was in the limelight during the last Northern Expedition.

"Well, he and Cheng Yaojin have sent a batch of cattle and sheep here. I have already requested his Majesty. When they arrive in Chang'an, Cheng Yaojin will temporarily prosecutor the Prince's Left Guard, and Su Dingfang will prosecutor the Prince's Left Guard, and the deputy commander will be the Prince's Left Guard, and will be the deputy commander of the Prince, and will be the Prince's Left Guard on my behalf and protect the safety of the Eastern Palace."

After hearing this arrangement, Li Jing nodded without objecting. He knew that Su Dingfang had a close relationship with Qin Lang, and Cheng Yaojin was the best friend of the Qin father and son.

At this time, Qin Lang went to Luoyang. Before leaving, he did not hand over the three thousand princes Lu Ben to his prince's right guard. Instead, he asked Cheng Yaojin and Su Dingfang to come over to procuratorially govern the prince's Lu Ben army. This obviously did not trust him very much.
