Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 168 Tomatoes

It is not Jin Yu's style not to use the knowledge of future generations he has learned to make a fortune.The iron stove was made, and the effect was good. Jinyu asked the workshop to mass-produce it. Although it was a little late to start, winter was not over after all, and there was still money to be made.Besides, now that coal has been produced, the only ones who can afford it are those well-connected and well-connected households. Ordinary ordinary people are exempt, and have no way to find coal.

Jinyu adopts the assembly line production method in the workshop, and the efficiency has been increased by more than three times.The first time that it comes off the production line is a trial product for advertising.Needless to say, Qin and Cheng's family, Li Daozong is good, he helped himself back and forth, even Li Daozong helped find the seven-hole lotus root, who made his family's pond (Qujiang) big?Yu Chigong also wanted to give one. The horse he gave was good, with good stamina and fast running. Although like his father, he likes to have a drink with the lion from time to time, but after all, the flaws are not hidden.Li Jing and Li Ji also want to give it away, but for the sake of Mr. Qin's face, the others will be exempted, and they want to buy it by themselves.

Chen Rui went on a business trip, and the princes and dukes of these countries sent them down. The reward money in their pockets was full, and it was heavy. Fortunately, it was only copper coins. If it was exchanged for silver coins, I wonder if this uncle would laugh crooked mouth.

Not only Chen Rui was happy, but also Jin Yu, because Sun Simiao was back!
"Sun Daochang, long time no see, how was the trip?" Jin Yu gave Sun Simiao a warm welcome, and welcomed him into the house. It was too cold outside, and Jin Yu didn't have a cramp in his head, and let Sun Simiao stand outside in the cold.

"Fortunately, Xie Guitang is pregnant." Sun Simiao cupped his hands, took a sip from the teacup, and warmed up his body.

"Did the Taoist priest find the sanqi?" Jin Yu asked casually knowing the real purpose of Sun Simiao's trip.

"Well, there is a lot of this medicine in the local area, but most of them are in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is not easy to pick." When talking about his special session, Sun Simiao went on and on, "From a poor point of view, this medicine has great effects, and it is curative for wind disease and bleeding. Especially outstanding, thanks to Gui Tang's reminder!"

"You don't dare to take the credit, you just know where it was born, Daoist Sun is the one who takes the credit!" Jin Yu didn't dare to take the credit, the old god is a respectable person, and he traveled thousands of miles away to reduce the suffering in the world Finding medicine, this courage is not possessed by ordinary people.

"The impoverished Taoist is an outsider, so what's the use of taking credit for this work?" Sun Simiao shook his head, "If there is no reminder from Guitang, wouldn't the world be short of good medicine to save people?"

"Even if the boy doesn't say anything, according to the vision of the Taoist leader, it will be a matter of time before he finds out?" Jin Yu complimented.

"Haha, the old man who Gui Tang complimented me is very comfortable." Sun Simiao stroked his beard and laughed heartily. Sun Simiao was proud of his medical skills, and he never gave up his pursuit of the highest level of medical skills in his life.

"Hey." Jin Yu patted his head and filled Sun Simiao's tea. It's good to chat with this kind and amiable old man. There is no difference in status, only seniority. Don't worry about making mistakes. Juniors, there are still people who don't make mistakes?Dealing with officials is much more troublesome, and Jin Yu hates that.

"I'm afraid Guitang is most concerned about the little red fruit, right?" Sun Simiao didn't forget that Jin Yu had asked him to do so, and brought it up again.

"Have you found the Taoist priest?" Jin Yu looked forward to it. Tomatoes, if you can make soup and eat noodles, it would be so enjoyable!

Sun Simiao nodded, and said: "Finally, I have lived up to Tang's entrustment. I rescued a shopkeeper of a merchant on the way. He had seen that thing before, so I entrusted him to find some."

After Sun Simiao finished speaking, he took out a small paper bag from his bosom and handed it to Jin Yu, "The fruit couldn't hold, the shopkeeper brought a bag of seeds to Pindao later, and returned to Tang to see if it was right."

Jin Yu took the paper bag excitedly, opened it and looked at it. It was different from the tomato seeds of later generations, but they looked similar, and they should all be of the same species.Since the people who know it say yes, if they gather together like this, it should be pretty much the same. "Thank you Daoist Sun!" Jin Yu gave Sun Simiao a deep bow.

"What does Gui Tang want for this? Pindao doesn't think there is any medicinal use." Sun Simiao focuses on pharmacology, and he looks at things with a professional eye. In his eyes, these tomatoes are trash, except for sweet and sour as a snack , can be said to be useless.

"Eat!" Jin Yu said it very directly, without any concealment.

"Pfft! Cough cough```" After hearing Jin Yu's words, Sun Simiao spit out the tea in his mouth, and even choked, pointing at Jin Yu who didn't know how to describe him.

Jin Yu hurried up to pat Sun Simiao on the back. If he choked the old god to death because of his words, he would be a sinner through the ages. This is an immeasurable loss for the Chinese medical industry!

"No wonder Daoist Yuan said that in Guitang's life, 'you can't get tired of food, and you can't get tired of it'. You still like this one." Sun Simiao spent his whole life seeking the way of medicine and medicine. He couldn't understand Jin Yu, who was looking for the way of food. In his impression, he could wear warm clothes. Just eat enough, how can you want Jin Yu to do this?In fact, this is also related to Sun Simiao's life time. Sun Daochang said that he has gone through several wars, and he has seen more life and death. In addition, he believes in Taoism, so his dietary requirements are lower.

"'Food is not tired of fine' is right, but 'cooked meat is not tired of fine' is wrong. The thinner the meat, the better it is." Speaking of diet, Jin Yu corrected Sun Simiao.For future generations to eat dumplings, the meat grinded by the meat grinder is fine enough, right?But it doesn’t taste as good as the hand-chopped thick stuffing. Many steamed bun shops use thick meat. First, it can be seen that there is meat in it, and second, it is really delicious.

"Pindao doesn't have such a deep research on diet." Sun Simiao smiled wryly and shook his head, thinking that it would be of great use for Jin Yu to get rid of himself looking for such a seed seriously, but why did he think it was just for his own tongue?Sun Simiao is very principled, entrusted by others, and loyal to others, now he has completed more than half of his task, and he also said the last half, "The shopkeeper sent someone to explain it in detail. This thing can It blooms and bears fruit in the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it can also survive from cuttings in spring and summer."

"Thank you Daoist Sun for your guidance!" Jin Yu bowed again, it seems that this time he can eat tomatoes in advance!Although he knew that there were tomatoes in ancient China, he didn't know the growth habit. It is not an exaggeration to compare Sun Simiao's words to sending charcoal in a timely manner, and he deserves thanks.

"Okay, Pindao has to go back and think about the medicinal compatibility of Panax notoginseng, so I won't chat with Gui Tang." Sun Simiao finished the task entrusted by Jin Yu, and got up to go back.

"Sun Daochang wait a moment, I'll give you something." Sun Simiao found the tomato for himself with great effort, so it's not a big deal to let him go back empty-handed, right?To come and not to be indecent, Jin Yu went to the study and brought Lao Sun two boxes of tea, both of which were selected high-quality tea.

"Is this the tea produced by Guitang Mansion?" Old Sun asked, looking at the exquisite packaging.

"That's right, don't be disgusted with me."

"How can it? The tea produced in Guitang Mansion is very famous, and the poor can't afford it at that price, haha." Sun Simiao was not at all pretentious, carrying two boxes of tea, very happy, "The poor can take it Get off and say goodbye!"

"I'll see you off, boy." Jin Yu pushed open the door and made a gesture of invitation.A gust of cold wind blew by, and Jin Yu shivered.

After seeing off Sun Simiao, Jin Yu excitedly went to the bedroom, where Yang Ying was busy sewing clothes for Cheng Huaimo's son, pure cotton, non-irritating.Cheng Huaimo was lucky, his wife gave birth to a fat boy.This guy has been distracted in class recently, grinning stupidly by himself, and after class, he caught Jin Yu and Qin Huaiyu and said that he added a fat boy, who weighs half a catty!It's not Cheng Huaimo if you don't say Xiao Xiao twenty times a day, why didn't you see the mother-in-law before?
"My lady! Good stuff!" Jin Yu pretended to be mysterious and shook the paper wrapped in front of Yang Ying's eyes.

Yang Ying was suspicious at first, and then she also looked pleasantly surprised, "But Daoist Sun gave it?"

"Well, how does the lady know?" Jin Yu's eyes widened. Isn't this little daughter-in-law amazing?

"Daozhang Sun is here today. It will definitely work, and I must thank the old god Sun!" Yang Ying blushed, as if she was a little shy, and she also called Sun Simiao a "fairy".

"What's the use?" Jin Yu was at a loss now, unable to understand what his wife said.

"Songzi!" Yang Ying slapped Jin Yu shyly, "Is it a talisman or a good medicine?"

Jin Yu's sweat, it seems that Yang Ying has been stimulated. Recently, Li Er's children have been coming all the time, and Cheng Wen's gave birth to a big fat boy. Yang Ying is very envious, and now she is very motherly. "No, it's a kind of persimmon seed. When the persimmons are grown, fry an egg and serve with a bowl of noodles. It's delicious."

"Oh." Hearing what Jin Yu said, Yang Ying didn't blush anymore, and her interest was low, and she continued to be busy with the work at hand.

Jin Yu put the seeds away, sat cross-legged on the bed, and held Yang Ying in his arms.He has been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and he has a good understanding of the atmosphere here.At his age, if he doesn't have a child, even if he has a lot of money, he still can't afford to be pointed at by others when he goes out, and he has no offspring!This is a taboo meeting!Men are better off. People these days are not as high-level as later generations. All the responsibilities for having no offspring will be piled on the woman's head, and they will say that the woman is a hen that can't lay eggs, which is very ugly.

"My lady, we are still young, maybe next year we will have one? Look at Cheng Huaimo, isn't it only after one year of marriage?" Jin Yu reckoned Yang Ying's figure, and it is king to have another child after she has truly grown up. Wen's is a dystocia, weighs eight and a half catties!In future generations, he would be considered a big man, right?If it weren't for the imperial doctor Cheng Yaojin begged from the palace, maybe Cheng Wen's family would be gone.

"There will be in eight months." Yang Ying also stopped what she was doing, and corrected Jin Yu. Yang Ying remembered this matter very accurately, and always compared others with herself. The more she compared herself, the less confident she was.

"Then let's work harder, maybe there will be one next month?" Jin Yu didn't believe this, but he gave Yang Ying an extra meal every day, a stewed old hen, plus two eggs!I still don’t believe it, I can’t grow up if I don’t believe it is rich in nutrition!Although Yang Ying has grown in stature in the past six months, she is still a little petite.

　To put it bluntly, tomatoes existed in ancient China, but they were not as big as they are now, and the yield was lower.For details, please refer to Baidu Encyclopedia of "tomato".Ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty were unearthed, and they germinated and bear fruit.

　　Ask for tickets and rewards, and the third update will be delivered later!
