[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

Here in Xishan, there are ready-made fruits and vegetables, as well as pigs, horses, chickens and ducks. Not only that, there is also a lake at the southern foot of Xishan.

The lake occupies a large area, as if it can't see the end at a glance. The continuous mountains in the north block the cold current from the north, making it warmer than other places. Even if it snows, it will not freeze.

At this time, more than a dozen officials were fishing on boats on the lake. Although it was this winter, everyone did not show any discomfort, and even had a bit of comfort on their faces, chatting idly.

"It's interesting here. It's very rare to go boating on the lake. It's just a pity that there is no good tea here."

"Yes, yes, just a pot of tea is missing."

"It's a bit like the north and the south of the river, ah, there are fish, there are fish." One person pulled the fishing rod, and sure enough, a fish was caught!

This person is a certain chief of the Ministry of War, shaking his head, he is very proud, this is more interesting than fishing in his own pond, with so many colleagues fishing around him, every time he catches one, he feels that his face is honored.

He said happily: "Haha, this fish is very fat, if it is used to make soup, it must be extremely delicious, haha, I will present it to the Holy One later."

The rest of the people looked at him enviously, and although they didn't make a sound, they all held back their energy.

"Brother Liu, the Ministry of War is still worrying about North Korea's affairs."

The head of the Ministry of War who caught the fish put the fish into the basket and began to bait again, calmly said: "The Ministry of War is not worried at all. The rules and regulations for the crusade against Li Long have been drawn up a long time ago. It was the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Households stomped their feet angrily when they saw the amount of money and food sent by the Ministry of War, saying that this was digging out their brains, and that life would be impossible."

"Recently, the Ministry of War has been booming." Someone said enviously: "Not to mention the conquest of North Korea, this voyage to the West is a national policy, and there is no need to delay. The shipbuilding and drills are all led by the Ministry of War. Respect, think about it a lot.”

"Nonsense, what ice respect, carbon respect..."

The two members of the military department were so angry that they blew their beards and stared: "I wait for the wind in my sleeves, how can I be such a person."

………………

In the greenhouse.

After a lot of work, Emperor Hongzhi also felt tired, out of breath, and a little sweat oozes from his forehead. He didn't care much about the dirty inside, and sat down directly!

Seeing this, Xiao Jing said to Ouyang Zhi who was digging potatoes obediently: "Ouyang attendant, go, get your Majesty a cup of tea."

Calling him is not to embarrass him, but Ouyang Zhi is Fang Jifan's protégé after all, here he is familiar.

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a long time before he said, "Yes."

Said, left.

All the gentlemen in the warm shed looked at Ouyang Shixue with admiration, and they all nodded in approval secretly.

There are really too few young people like this. All the gentlemen here are people who have been in service for a long time. Looking at the young people now, I feel disgusted!

Either it is a brash kid like Prince Edward or Fang Jifan who is always blah, or it is the young Hanlin and Yushi who want to become famous at every turn.

Emperor Hongzhi also flashed a hint of appreciation, and couldn't help but said: "This Ouyang Qing family is a malleable talent."

Xiao Jing's face was sullen, he didn't know if he should say some words, but he couldn't stand it. According to his years of experience in mastering the East Factory, his views are really different from other people here.

After all, he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, this servant feels that he is always a little dull."

In other words, this person is not mentally retarded.

Of course, the mental retardation is not so serious. It can be said that he is missing a string in his brain.

Ever since, it was not good to hear these words in the ears of some people.

Shen Wen, who was also sitting on the ground to rest for a while, couldn't help but sneered and said, "If Ouyang Shixue is dull, how can he win the first prize? If he is not a man of great wisdom, then you will be the first scholar to open your eyes."

Shen Wen is a Qingliu, and has always been at odds with people like Xiao Jing. Now Xiao Jing actually slandered a Hanlin, as a scholar of the Hanlin University, he should speak out for his assistant.

"This..." Xiao Jing knew that he had made a slip of the tongue.

Shen Wen looked at Xiao Jing, with sarcasm in his eyes, continued to sneer, and beat the dog in the water very bluntly: "If Ouyang Shixue is sluggish, how could he use his tenacity to defend Jinzhou during the Battle of Jinzhou?" , so that the little prince repented and retreated? Eunuch Xiao, you should go to Jinzhou and try it.”

Everyone nodded one after another, making sense.

This Ouyang Zhi, at first glance, is a person of great wisdom, he is usually stable, let alone he is the number one scholar, guarding Jinzhou, and there is no such smart person in the whole world.

Liu Jian helped his sore waist, and said directly: "The so-called great wisdom is like a fool, that's what it is."

Eunuch Xiao felt that he was being besieged, so he said quickly and politely: "Yes, yes, we said something wrong, look at our mouth."

Emperor Hongzhi just smiled and didn't say anything, but when Liu Jian said that he was wise and stupid, he nodded subconsciously: "You should be like Ouyang Zhi when you have a child."

"Get up, dig some more, it's enough if you think about it." After saying that, Emperor Hongzhi stood up!

There is still work to be done, that kid Fang Jifan has gone somewhere, he is really courageous, he left them here, and ordered the monarchs and ministers to dig potatoes for him.

But... the worst thing is the prince.

This guy, Fang Jifan really believed what he was talking about about experiencing the sufferings of the people. Although there is nothing wrong with experiencing the sufferings of the people, he felt sorry for my waist.

………………

Everyone was busy for more than an hour. In the dining hall, a group of young Hanlins who had finished killing pigs were assigned to the dining hall!

Everyone stood in this spacious kitchen, looking at the pot, their eyes were straight. This... is it for them to cook?

"Everyone should scramble an egg." Liu Wenshan rushed over, pointed to the eggs in a basket on the table and said, "This is the order of my teacher, the cook has already gone to invite it, but I am afraid that there is not enough time, so I ask everyone to help fry ten eggs." A few plates of eggs can be considered too much effort."

After all, Liu Wenshan seemed to be busy with other things, so he left in a hurry.

A group of Hanlin stared at each other, and after a long time, someone finally took the lead and said, "Scrambled eggs should be put in the oil first, or the egg first?"

"..."

No one can answer.

On the contrary, there was a scholar who said: "Eggs are eggs. There is white in the egg, which is sticky, and it is no different from oil. Isn't egg white just oil? In my humble opinion, just put the eggs, no oil is needed."

Someone pumped Lengzi and said contemptuously: "When I eat eggs, I smell oily stars. I can see that there is oil in the eggs. Oil is also a slippery thing. There is a saying in "Book of Rites Yuzao". Back, it can be seen that the word oil has the meaning of harmony, respect and respect. Adding it can neutralize and lubricate. Since it is scrambled eggs, why not use oil. Everything in this world is all about neutralization, and the same is true for scrambled eggs , let the oil go!"

"Otherwise, in "Historical Records Song Weizi's Family", there is an allusion of 'grain millet oil oil'. It can be seen that oil is not just neutralizing, but also bright and moist. For example, the light of oil can be learned. Therefore, the essence of oil is just an ornament It’s just that, if you use it, it can make the scrambled eggs look better. If you don’t use it, it won’t hinder you. I can’t help feeling that in today’s world, people’s hearts are old and they admire gorgeous things. It is difficult to be frugal; the sages have said: "It is better to be frugal than extravagant." It can be seen that things like oil that only add color to delicacies are really harmful, and we should be careful!"

Everyone said something, and I said something, shaking their heads and citing scriptures. When it came to the wonderful part, some people couldn't help but slap their thighs, their eyes lit up, and they were fierce.

The kitchen instantly became like a bright hall.

Someone thought of something, and said: "Let's not ask whether to lay eggs or oil, it's better to light the fire first."

Only then did everyone wake up from their ecstasy. That's right, the fire hasn't been lit yet. Cooking requires fire. The first step is to light the fire.

Finally, the fire started, and someone said with emotion: "The fire, the sun is also... oh, this fire is a bit big..."

"Oh, help... help, it's on fire..."

…………

Fang Jifan wanted to kill people, this is really a bunch of scum, I really asked them to fry an egg, I thought it would be the easiest thing, but unexpectedly, they almost burned the kitchen down!

Fortunately, the rescue was done in time, and no disaster was caused at last, but he didn't dare to bother these old men with scrambled eggs, which required technical content, so he drove them all away to wash potatoes!

On the other hand, someone had half of his beard burned, and he was very embarrassed. He repeated in his mouth: "A gentleman stays away from the cook, and a gentleman stays away from the cook. What the sage said is extremely true."

The cook finally arrived, and immediately started to heat up the pot. In the kitchen that almost caught fire just now, there were all kinds of ingredients piled up, including potatoes, grass carp, pork, loach, lotus root, radish, cabbage... an assortment of beautiful things to see!

Not long after, bursts of appetizing aromas wafted from the kitchen!

And Emperor Hongzhi, who was pressing his waist with his hands at this time, finally sat down in the main hall of Qianhusuo, and rested, all the ministers were panting, and all offered their seats.

Empress Zhang and Zhu Xiurong went to sit in the back room, but they picked a lot of fruits and they were washed clean, and everyone was eating melons or plums in their mouths, so they felt comfortable.

"Your Majesty, I have caught a big fish that is a foot long..."

"His Majesty……"

The dozens of ministers in charge of fishing finally came back, and happily reported their achievements to Emperor Hongzhi.

Although very tiring, sitting down now and looking back afterwards, I feel quite a sense of accomplishment.

With a smile on his face, Emperor Hongzhi ate the melons picked by his daughter himself, and felt that the taste was more refreshing than those brought into the palace by others!

Thinking back now that he dug out so many potatoes himself today, it is quite an accomplishment!

He smiled and said: "This melon has a taste, it was picked by my daughter herself."

Everyone praised: "It's really refreshing."
