Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 350 The Unexpected Gift

Wei Jia is worried about refitting the carriage, while Xie Jiu is writing or revising the list of travel items every day, or simplifying or adding, the beautiful sister said that she must make the most perfect list of travel items.Wei Jia laughed when he heard it, how should I put it, is it a perfectionism that makes people like it and makes people laugh?

Considering that there is a specialization in the art industry, Wei Jia, who had been entangled for several days, simply called all the craftsmen raised at home and explained the problem to them, so that they would share his headaches with him.As the saying goes, three cobblers are the best Zhuge Liang.The power of the masses of the people is enormous and cannot be ignored.Therefore, Wei Jia decided to hand over the difficult problems to the great masses of the people, and do what he should do.

If you want to go on a business trip, you should go on a long-term business trip with His Majesty the Emperor, and you have to explain the work in hand and arrange it.Wei Jia has never been a person with great power, and he is not so diligent, so the handover work is the easiest.

"Fourth Uncle, I heard that Brother Zong Han has invited Uncle Qin to Huo Wang's Mansion to propose marriage, is that right?"

During the work break, Yin Andao asked Wei Chi.Wei Jia glanced at him playfully, and said, "Not yet, Zong Han just told my elder brother about it, and he hasn't said anything about marriage proposals yet. What's the matter? Whose girl is your kid looking for? Come on, Talk to Uncle Fourth, Uncle Fourth will help you with the details."

Yin Andao was generous, and said with a smile: "Who is in my nephew's heart, wouldn't fourth uncle know?"

Wei Chi was choked, and lamented that the little ghosts are really not simple now, and their face can stand the test, and they are not shy anymore. Could it be that they bully others too much on weekdays, so that these little ghosts will not be shy anymore? !Emei tofu, sin sin.

Wei Jia patted Yin Andao on the shoulder and said, "I have heard a story before, saying that there was a group of travelers who crossed the desert and passed an oasis. There was a fruit tree growing in that oasis, and only the top of the tree bore a fruit tree. The fruit is crisp, sweet, tender and juicy, and it can best satisfy the hunger and thirst of travelers. So, the team stopped here, ready to pick the delicious fruit. Traveler A really wanted to eat the fruit on the top of the tree, but he just Watching silently, hoping that the fruit would fall from the tree by itself. Traveler B wanted to eat it too, so he ordered Traveler C to pick it. Traveler C thought he should not go, but Traveler B should go, so they quarreled. Only Traveler Ding looked at the attractive fruit on the top of the tree, found a bamboo pole, smashed the fruit and ate it."

After Wei Chi finished speaking, he looked at Yin Andao with a smile, and Yin Andao smiled and said, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle, my nephew understands."

Wei Chi smiled, said nothing more, and went home from get off work.Back home, the butler greeted him with a happy face. Wei Chi thought the problem had been solved, so he asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"

The butler smiled and said, "Master, Hu Shang Said has been waiting for you for a long time, and he said that he brought a lot of things that the master wants."

Wei Chi was taken aback for a moment, and Ganqing and the two were not happy about the same thing, so he nodded quickly and walked in.As expected, Hu Shang Said was waiting for him in the side hall.

"Mahmoud has met Lord Wei."

"Long time no see, Mahmoud Said, long time no see. Seeing your radiant face and brows full of joy, it seems that your business is getting smoother?"

Said said with a smile all over his face, "Thanks to your lord's blessing, everything is going well so far."

Wei Jia smiled and said: "It should be more than smooth. Refrigerant oil is a treasure for your hot motherland. Mahmoud, there is a saying in Tang Dynasty that business should be based on integrity. As your business partner, Deceiving your partner is tantamount to self-destructing your career, it's serious!"

Said is just an outsider, how dare he oppose Wei Jia, the official of the Tang Dynasty, and hurriedly said in fear: "My lord, the villain did not deceive you, and the profits obtained are also handed over in accordance with the agreement. Please learn from me."

Wei Chi nodded and said nothing.This trade with Said, considering the low cost of cool oil, the rate of return is frighteningly high. In other words, even Wei Wen, who is now used to the world, was stunned for a while at that time, together with Wei Jia and Xie Jiu Son, the three of them looked at each other for a while, it was too much money.

Wei Jia said: "There is an agreement on business matters, so let's not talk about it. Tell me, come to my house today, what's the matter?"

Said respectfully said: "My lord, you are so noble and forgetful. When the villain reached an agreement with the lord, the lord once asked the villain to find some things that the Tang Dynasty did not have. Fortunately, the villain did not disgrace his life and found it. Please take a look at them, my lord."

"You found it? Show it to me."

This news is probably the most exciting news in recent days, Wei Jia was a little surprised, and quickly asked Said to bring the things up.

Seeing Wei Jia's joyful and cautious expression, Said got a little proud, and quickly asked someone to lift up the things, not many, that is, four boxes, opened, and three boxes were filled with seeds , and there is another box, which is filled with fruits, but it makes Wei Zhi full of joy, and secretly shouts in his heart that the harvest is great!

"My lord, please let the villain introduce you."

"Okay, Mahmoud please."

Wei Chi took the initiative to ask Said to say, who knows if the modern name is the same as the ancient name, or it is better to let the local people say it.Said took the initiative to step forward, pointing to the first box and said, "Sir, this is the fruit of Asahi Flower, also known as Zhuan Ri Lian, Sun Flower, the fruit is edible, and it is a good snack, not too economical." The value is just a fresh picture. The planting period is one year, it is relatively drought-tolerant, and it will not affect the food when planted on the edge of the mountain."

Wei Jia took a look, nodded, and said, "I know this thing, but the name is different from yours. We call it sunflower. The height is between three feet and nine feet. The stem is relatively straight and thick, and there are many flowers. It is round, and the fruit is a gadget that women and children like, and it’s good to eat it in your spare time.”

Said said with a smile: "My lord is really well-informed, and I can't wait for the villain. As long as the lord thinks it's good, the next one is the next one. This is a more delicious fruit. It has not been planted in Tang Dynasty. Yes, the name is..."

Said pondered for a long time, as if he was thinking about how to translate their nonsense into Tang dialect.Seeing his headache, Wei Jia smiled and said, "I know, it's called watermelon in Tang dialect, and someone elegantly calls it Qingmen Lvyufang. I've seen it before when I was overseas. It tastes good."

Saeed clapped his hands happily and said, "It's Watermelon, it's a wonderful way to get your name."

Wei Chi didn't respond to this obvious blatant sycophant. In other words, this is just a customary name, and it really doesn't matter whether it is good or not.Said is really honest and a good boy.

Wei Chi smiled, waved his hands and said, "Go to the next one."

Said said respectfully: "Yes, my lord. This is a kind of vegetable. It can be planted on the edge of the field. It is high-yield and delicious. It is a rare delicacy. The villain has no knowledge, and he doesn't know how to call it in the Tang Dynasty. Please give me your name."

Wei Jia glanced at Said playfully, and said with a smile: "As far as I know, this thing is called a pumpkin. The fruit has a smooth skin and a sweet taste. It is really delicious. However, this thing, in your place, should be for livestock. Do you want to make feed?"

Said was taken aback, and quickly said: "My lord misunderstood, even if you give a villain 1 guts, he wouldn't dare to bully you. This pumpkin is indeed edible. When we eat more, poor people often treat it as Food is eaten, only noble families use it to feed livestock, the villain just doesn’t want adults to miss out on a delicacy, so he conceals it, please forgive me.”

Wei Jia shook his head with a smile, and said, "It's okay. This kind of situation happens everywhere. It's a social reality, as long as we like it, we don't care what to do, pumpkin is indeed a delicacy. Of course, its function is not only sweet, but according to medical principles, pumpkin is warm in nature, sweet and non-toxic, enters the spleen and stomach meridian, can moisten the lungs and replenish qi, reduce phlegm and thicken, repel insects and detoxify, treat cough and asthma, It can treat lung abscess and constipation, has diuretic and beautifying effects, and can also prevent some diseases. There is also the aforementioned watermelon, which has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. It is cold in nature, relieves polydipsia, diuresis, and Alcohol poisoning and other effects are used to treat all fevers, summer heat, polydipsia, dysuria, sore throat, oral inflammation, and drunkenness. Watermelon rind is used to treat nephritis, edema, liver disease jaundice, and diabetes. , Bladder diarrhea. It can relieve the sun, Yangming Zhongyu and fever thirst, so it is called "Baihu Decoction" innately. Baihu Decoction is a prescription for Han Shanghan. The metaphor of merit.In spring and summer, distemper occurs, and those who find it in the next year's collection eat it, such as Tang Woxue. "

Wei Jia talked eloquently, and Said was full of admiration when he heard it, so he kept it firmly in mind for future use.Seeing this, Wei Chi smiled and said, "We don't have pumpkins and sunflowers in the Tang Dynasty, but this watermelon has indeed been planted, but it's limited to the region and it's not widely spread. Alright, let's introduce the next one."

Said didn't dare to use any more complimenting words at the moment, but simply introduced: "This is from the country of Jiaozhi. The peel is either white or red. It is drought-resistant and can be used as a substitute for food to satisfy hunger. The title of state-owned treasure was secretly brought out by a smart person in our country, and it has just spread."

Wei Chi smiled and said: "Very well, Mahmud, you have worked hard. I am very satisfied with these four crops. It can be seen that you have bothered. Don't worry, you are so sincere, and I, Tang Dynasty, will not treat you lightly. There is a saying in our Tang Dynasty that reciprocity is the rule of courtesy, and that’s exactly what it is.”

Seeing that Wei Chi was affirming the things he found this time, Said smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and said, "It's good that adults like it. Because of the long distance and value, the villain only found a box of each item. I implore my lord to search carefully, distinguish the good from the bad, and don't lose any good things."

Wei Jia was confused by what he said, it was just a seed, there is no need to say such a serious matter, right? !Just as he was about to ask, Said had already saluted and said goodbye, and he did not want to stay any longer.Wei Zhi had no choice but to have someone send him out, and then asked someone to carry the box to the backyard, preparing to present treasures to Xie Jiu, and by the way, wonder where these things should be planted.

The four crops Said found this time - sunflower, pumpkin, watermelon, and sweet potato, it can be said that sweet potato and pumpkin have the greatest economic value and are most worthy of promotion. Sunflower and watermelon are suitable for planting in open land by oneself. Food can be promoted among rich and noble families, but it can be ignored among ordinary people.

"Ma'am, look quickly."

After carrying the things in, Wei Jia offered treasures to Xie Jiu, and Xie Jiu put down his pen, came over to look, and his face was full of joy, and said: "Sweet potatoes and pumpkins can be planted in gardens or on the edge of mountains, and sunflowers can also be planted together. Planting, watermelon is more troublesome. By the way, Wei Chi, is it the season for planting now?"

Wei Jia smiled and said: "Of course, the season is just right. You see, with so many seeds, how many mountains can we plant! For the first time, we will get four kinds for us. Madam, tell me, if you fiddle with it a few more times, will it be okay?" You even got us potatoes? I really miss potatoes every winter."

Speaking of vegetables in winter, the young couple sighed for a while. The vegetable basket project in winter is a major event with merits in the present and benefits in the future.It’s true that comparison produces beauty. If you don’t compare, you don’t know that vegetables that can be bought for a few dollars are such rare things in ancient times, and winter is a very heavy season.

Xie Jiu forced a smile and said, "Don't we have pumpkins now? This year we will grow more, and when we harvest, we will store more in the cellar. In winter, we will have another vegetable. There is no need to eat Chinese cabbage. The next meal is still big." Chinese cabbage."

Thinking of the Chinese cabbage that seems to be endless in winter, and thinking of the need for more pumpkins this winter, I finally feel that there is still some hope for life, otherwise I will really be entangled to death.What a blessing to have pumpkin to eat.

The couple looked forward to it for a while, and agreed that a winter with pumpkins is a happy winter. To be a man, we must be content. If we have pumpkins, can other vegetables be far behind?Always have some hope.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhi immediately asked someone to bring wooden pots with joy, and prepared to separate the seeds, plant what should be planted, and treat what should be processed, not for anything else, just to eat more food.Mrs. Liu and others brought the pots, and they worked together to dump the seeds out of the box——

"This is..." Wei Jia and Xie Jiu looked at each other, dumbfounded.Aunt Liu was more mature, and hurriedly said, "Li'er, close the door."

Wei Chi waved his hand and said, "No need, we are the only ones in the backyard, and no one else will come."

After finishing speaking, he smiled bitterly: "This Said, I said what he said just now is so weird, and he plays with these things again! Now it's the cusp of the storm, what should we do?"

===========
It's been a long time since I stopped, and I've been getting sick again and again. My respiratory tract is really... well, I hope it doesn't become asthma, or it will be a big game!
