Qin was relieved to think, what did Yanyan do today to make Aunt Yu say so.
Since Qin Fang was curious, he stopped asking Aunt Yu and went in to find Yang Haiyan himself, but couldn't find her in the yard. There are no other servants in Yang Haiyan's yard, only Aunt Lian and Aunt Yu. Aunt Yu is in charge of the hygiene, and other Aunt Lian are in charge. There are not many things, so she did not buy anyone. Also, she doesn't like having too many people walking around in her private space.
Without finding Yang Haiyan, Qin Fang went to Aunt Yu: "Aunt Yu, where is Yanyan?"
Aunt Yu said, "Xiangjun is in the small kitchen."
Even if there is a small kitchen in the yard, it is in a corner, lest some smells spread everywhere, so Qin Fang did not find Yang Haiyan when he looked for the place to look, and did not think that she was in the small kitchen.
Hearing Aunt Yu said that Yang Haiyan was in the small kitchen, Qin Fang felt that she might be cooking, after all, his wife would occasionally cook snacks. However, Aunt Yu said that his daughter-in-law would surprise him. Suddenly, Qin Fang understood that it was his daughter-in-law who surprised him by cooking herself.
This is not a surprise, but Qin Fang is still very happy that she can cook for herself.
When Qin Fang came to the kitchen, he saw Yang Haiyan busy inside, and Mother Lian was helping her. Qin Fang lightly stepped in, probably because Yang Haiyan and Mother Lian were too involved, and did not notice Qin Fang coming in. It wasn't until Madam Lian went to observe the fire and turned around that she saw Qin Fang, and she hurriedly said, "I have seen the general."
Yang Haiyan turned around and saw Qin Fang and smiled: "Are you back?" It was different from the previous time when he called him his father-in-law softly. Now it's just four simple words, and he can feel her tenderness in it.
Qin Fang couldn't help but smile: "Well, come back, what are you doing?"
Yang Haiyan said: "To make noodles, two kinds of noodles are used to make noodles with different flavors. I think you have a big appetite, so you can eat two plates."
Qin Fang hurriedly said: "I really eat it, you really surprised me." Aunt Yu said that she wanted to give herself a surprise, so she should be happy when she said this. Qin Fang thought very cooperatively.
When Yang Haiyan heard it, she smiled again: "Then you go to the hall and wait. When you're done,
Qin Fang said: "No, is there anyone who needs my help here?" They usually only get along at night.
Because of the sulphur mine and the saltpeter mine, even if he has a rest day every month, he is still at the Taoist Temple in Beast Mountain. He was happy to be alone for a while now.
Yang Haiyan said: "I'll be fine right away, there's Mama Lian to help me, I don't need you."
Qin Fang looked at Madam Lian.
Mother Lian hurriedly said: "Xiangjun, the stomach of this old slave is a little uncomfortable, I want to go to make it easier."
Qin Fang gave Madam Lian an admiring look: "Go ahead, take your time, don't worry, I'm here."
Mother Lian didn't wait for Yang Haiyan to speak, she leaned over to Qin Fang and went out.
Yang Haiyan couldn't help laughing and crying: "What's there to stay in this kitchen? You've been busy all day, so don't go to rest for a while, it's about to have dinner."
Qin Fang: "it's good to be with you, no matter where you are."
The corner of Yang Haiyan's mouth twitched involuntarily when he said this: "You are so good at talking, you need to eat more today."
Qin Fang couldn't help laughing. Seeing her happy, he was also happy.
Madam Lian didn't go anywhere, she was just outside. The host wanted to be alone with the hostess, so she naturally retreated. When Yang Haiyan's noodles were ready, Mother Lian went in to help.
There are only Qin Fang and Yang Haiyan in the dining hall, and they don't need anyone to serve them when they eat, they just eat freely. In addition to fried potato flour and sweet potato cold noodles, there are also several side dishes. The noodles and vegetables are all fragrant, and people who smell it have a great appetite.
Qin Fang is absolutely single-minded when he eats, and when he eats, people's appetite will be very good, because he always eats in big mouthfuls, and he eats a lot. When they were at the border before, they had a lot of training and really had to eat a lot, but now, he still eats a lot. Climbing up and down the mountain every day is also a lot of exercise.
After eating a few mouthfuls, Qin Fang discovered the peculiarity: "This noodle is different from the noodles I have eaten before."
Yang Haiyan thought to herself, that's the point. "Is this noodle delicious?"
Even if Qin Fang has no requirements on what to eat, in the past two years, he has eaten a lot of delicious food, and his mouth has become a bit tricky, but whether it is delicious or not, he will eat whatever can fill his stomach.. "Delicious, a little chewy, quite..."
Yang Haiyan continued his words: "Compared to Q, right?"
Qin Fang blinked, unable to understand. But even if he doesn't understand, it doesn't affect the speed of his cooking.
Yang Haiyan explained: "It means a little bit of elasticity."
Qin Fang nodded: "yes, yes, it's delicious, daughter-in-law, what you make is better than what the cook makes." Then there is no more.
Yang Haiyan knew that he didn't understand the ingredients, so she mentioned it herself: "What do you think of the flour used to make this noodles? It's not made from the previous flour, it's the flour newly researched by Nanny Lian and I."
Qin Fang had a meal. He always only cared about eating and didn't ask about the ingredients. He didn't understand it anyway. However, he was stunned when he heard his daughter-in-law say that this was the flour she had newly researched. "Is this made of new flour?" Immediately, he thought of Aunt Yu's words, and it turned out that Aunt Yu said the surprise was this. "Daughter-in-law, can you also study flour? Isn't the flour directly ground from corn kernels and barley?"
Yang Haiyan said: "In the past, the flour we ate was ground with barley and corn kernels, but now the noodles you eat are made with potatoes and sweet potatoes."
Potatoes and sweet potatoes can make flour? Qin Fang couldn't bear to eat it: "Can potatoes and sweet potatoes be used to make flour? I don't think you have done much for the past few days. It shouldn't be difficult to make flour with potatoes and sweet potatoes, right?" At this point, Qin Fang thought of one more thing. "Yunxiang County has a lot of land and a small population, and the food is too much to eat. If there is more land to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, then turn the potatoes and sweet potatoes into flour and sell them elsewhere. , isn't this Yunxiang County's surplus food problem solved?"
Among the grains, sweet potatoes and potatoes are cheap, and they are eaten by the common people.
Therefore, the common people in Yunxiang County will not sell them, because the cost of the round trip will cost money, and they are heavy. I don't know if they can sell them. . Therefore, many people have more and more dried sweet potatoes in their homes, which is the reason. But now, if potatoes and sweet potatoes can be used to make flour, it will be different. Both ordinary people and wealthy people will buy flour, and the price is more expensive than rice. Besides, flour is lighter than potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Yang Haiyan didn't expect Qin Fang to think of this all of a sudden: "It can be solved, I originally thought, since potatoes and sweet potatoes can really be made into flour, then we will buy potatoes and sweet potatoes ourselves, and make our own flour to sell. But thinking about it now, this is not appropriate. The country is so big, and we can only do it. The quantity we can sell is limited, and the local area is also limited. If it can be promoted nationwide, it will be even better. So, I thought of one person. "
Qin was relieved to understand: "Master Du?"
Yang Haiyan said: "No, if potatoes and sweet potatoes can be used as flour to spread to the whole country, it may not be a good thing for Mr. Du. I think of a more powerful person."
Qin was relieved: "You don't mean the emperor, do you?"
Qin Fang thought it was incredible, and her daughter-in-law was too courageous, right? Actually hit the idea on the emperor.
Yang Haiyan is the one who knows the script. Putting aside the matter of establishing the crown prince, the current emperor is a good emperor for both the country and the people. And, if she mentions the emperor, she intends to have a patent on potato flour and sweet potato flour like modern times. That is to say, people in other places are prohibited from making potato flour and sweet potato flour, whether they are ordinary people or businessmen, or powerful people.
Potato flour and sweet potato flour are already very good, if they are imitated, what kind of money can they make? So, her idea is that one state and one place make potato flour, like Renzhou here, they are in charge, and they buy potatoes and sweet potatoes from the common people, so that the common people can make money, and they can also make money. Another example is Yongzhou, you can choose Yonghe Houfu. Another example is another state, and then choose a family with excellent character.
However, whether it is Yonghe Hou's mansion or aristocratic families from other states, they all come in by joining. To put it bluntly, let them pay the franchise fee and then allow them to make potato flour and sweet potato flour. But she has no ability to do such an operation, and she can't control other people to make potato flour and sweet potato flour, but the emperor can.
The emperor issued the emperor list to attract investment, and the franchise fee was handed over to the national treasury. Each state only allowed one potato flour merchant and sweet potato merchant.
In this way, who would dare to disobey the emperor?
Yang Haiyan smiled: "Yes, the emperor told us that saltpeter can be used repeatedly, and we have to report back to the emperor."
Although Qin Fang has thoughts and scheming, he has his own plans for doing things, but only one thing, his thoughts will not change, that is, he will stay behind in everything he does, he will not rush into adventures, he does not Backer, there are some dangerous things that he won't do. For example, sulfur mines and saltpeter mines, he would never have thought about hiding them. For example, the method of making ice with saltpeter, he immediately dedicated it to the emperor. He knew very well that for an identity like him, the biggest backer was the emperor.
So, when Yang Haiyan said to dedicate this potato flour and sweet potato flour to the emperor, he agreed. It's just that it's one thing for him to agree, it's another thing for his daughter-in-law to be bold. But think about it, his daughter-in-law came from Mrs. Yang's family, Mrs. Yang was the one who participated in the heirloom, and it was normal for people from Yang's family to be bold.
Qin Fang laughed unkindly when he heard Yang Haiyan say that she was going to repay the emperor.
With his half-smile eyes, he was clearly telling Yang Haiyan that he didn't believe her nonsense, everyone was smart, and if he did that, he would have lied to his father and mother.
Seeing that his smile was a little bad, Yang Haiyan asked unconvinced, "Xianggong, what are you laughing at?"
Qin Fang immediately said, "I laugh at my daughter-in-law the smartest."
How could he tell the truth?Is it true, daughter-in-law, he know why she want to repay the emperor? The emperor is a wise man.
She "returned" the emperor. Even if the things the emperor gave were not as good as he expected, the emperor would still not suffer any loss. As a Ming Jun, how could he take advantage of his subjects?
Yang Haiyan didn't know what he was thinking. It's almost two years since the two got married.
In Yang Haiyan's heart, Qin Fang has always been an honest and sincere person. At the beginning, her opinion of Qin Fang was based on the opinions of the characters in the book. In the book, he is a responsible person. Even if the original owner tossed it, he never said heavy words to her or moved.
Therefore, Qin Fang gave her a good impression. When we meet again, she is very satisfied with Qin Fang's appearance and figure, which is the type she likes, so she tries to get along with him, try to associate with him, and try to get along with him. Flirting with him, making him sad for himself. She knows very well that whether it is modern or ancient, the most important thing for a woman to live is to win the heart of a man. Unless a woman intends to live her own life, she will not care about a man.
But as she got along for a long time, she got to know Qin Fang further. He was a careful person with plans for the future. When he joined the army, he wanted to make progress. When General Ao said that they might be going to the capital, he considered that Yang Haiyan didn't want to go, so he decided to retired and open an agency, which would be better than going home to farm.
It can be seen from this incident that he is a person who takes one step and three steps, and will not be in a hurry when things come to an end.
