Chapter 329 Wild Fruit

Li Liang pulled out a piece of cotton seed from the cotton fiber with a load, threw it into the bowl next to him, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I said General, you are one of the Eight Pillars Kingdoms. Should you recruit some smart and capable servants to serve your daily life?"

Li Rui asked without answering, "Does he have to buy another batch of maids who are light and soft and easy to knock down to serve inside and outside, so that he can be worthy of my identity as a general of the Pillar Kingdom?"

The three fools nodded vigorously, one pointing faster than the other.

Li Rui stretched his hand in front of them: "Where is the money? Take it!"

The three fools were stunned: "What's the money?"

Li Rui said: "What money? Of course it is the money to recruit servants to buy maids! I am cleaner now, and I have to go to Jia You or the Major General to have a free meal. If you don't pay for it, how can I recruit servants to buy beautiful maids?"

Xu Hun said with a bitter face: "We have no money either..."

Li Rui said: "No money? Now a woman with an average look is sold for 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. If you don't have money, you still want to keep a bunch of beautiful maids in the general's mansion to please the eyes? I think you want to be a waste!"

The three fools looked at each other and felt that they were definitely the most miserable general of the General's Mansion in the history of history. Others' generals were majestic and walked outside. When they returned to the General's Mansion, there were a lot of beautiful maids who looked like flowers and jade to show their admiration. They were good. To put it bluntly, the general's mansion was just an ordinary four-entry house. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was naturally a very good house, but it was not qualified to be the mansion of the General's Mansion. As for the servants, there were only a few old servants who swept the floor and cooked. Want a young and beautiful maid? Be your mother's dream of spring and autumn!

Xu Hun said: "Even if you don't have enough money to buy beautiful maids, at least you can buy some skillful and skillful people who can cook, right?"

Li Rui rolled his eyes: "Can they cook as delicious as mine?"

Xu Hun was immediately speechless.

Looking at the entire Nanyang, I dare to say that my cooking skills are better than Li Rui, and I can’t find anyone who can’t find them. Didn’t I see the imperial chef crying and shouting to take him as his teacher to learn cooking skills?

Li Rui continued to finish the fight: "Since the food they cook is not as delicious as I cook, why should I recruit them? Do you think it's too much money?"

The three fools looked at each other, and under the candlelight, they all saw the depression and helplessness on each other's faces.

With such a stingy boss, when will they realize their dream of a group of beautiful little beauties who look like flowers and cuddly gathering around them with admiration and chatting about the interesting things happening outside, and treating them as big heroes who stand tall every time they return home!

This dream surrounded by a large group of little beauties with admiration is too far away, and it is not easy to realize it, but they can pursue a dream that can be realized in the short term, such as peeling this big basket of cotton seeds early and going to bed early...

Well, it is actually not easy to realize this dream. These four guys sat together and peeled it until late at night to complete the task. At this time, the three fools were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes.

This is not the job that men should do!

Early the next morning, Li Rui ran to Beigong Jing's mansion again and yelled to eat bear's paw. At this time, after a whole night of stoop, the bear's paw finally ripe. One was whipped into the palace and presented it to the little emperor for him to taste it, and the other was set on the dining table and divided into four parts, Beigong Jing, Li Rui, Yang Xiu, and Zhuge Hui, each one.

I have to say that the imperial chef still has a few brushes. The carefully cooked bear paw soup is thick and bright, and the flesh is soft and fragrant, and it is full of collagen in one bite. Li Rui was quite satisfied with it. He didn't think it was exactly how delicious it was. He just tasted it. In modern times, this thing cannot be eaten. This father is a national second-class protected animal. He didn't have time to hide when he encountered it, and he still wanted to eat bear paw? That's a judgment! This is the first time he has tasted this delicacy. Well, the curiosity that has nowhere to be placed is satisfied.

After eating the bear paw, he entered the palace to inform the little emperor. Beigong Jing took Li Rui, Yang Xiu, Zhuge Hui and others with his horse, and rode on horseback under the protection of a group of personal soldiers, and rode on horseback, and headed straight to the mountainous area.

Beigong Jing didn't like to ride a carriage, but when Zhuge Hui praised the four-wheeled carriage for being in the sky and without earth, she couldn't help but feel curious, so she just asked her personal soldiers to take her mount away. She rarely chose to travel by car. The same is true for Yang Xiu, who asked someone to lead her sweat-blooded horse and she took the car.

Li Rui was a little miserable. He also wanted to take the bus, but there were three girls in the bus. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he was embarrassed to squeeze in, so he had to ride a horse away.

Well, I was riding the tall horse that I snatched from the battlefield, with a shoulder height of sixteen palms, and I was riding it with such a mighty power. He had already given this horse to Beigong Jing, and Beigong Jing liked it very much, but today she was going to travel by car, and Li Rui's red horse happened to be sick again, so he had to borrow this horse from her to ride.

General Zhuguo rode this tall horse, carrying a lance and a group of personal soldiers to open the way in front. At the back, the four-wheeled carriage was driving steadily and briskly under the guidance of two horses. From time to time, the girl's gossip and silver bell-like laughter came from the car, which made him feel sad and angry.

He also wants to take a bus!

He paid for this carriage out of his own pocket! He spent so much money and so much effort, but in the end he didn't have his own place in the car...

It's so sad.

However, the charming scenery on both sides of the avenue soon made him feel better. It is already late autumn, and the millet, millet, and sorghum in the endless fields are about to mature, especially the millet, and the leaves are yellow, which are in harmony with the yellow ears of grain. When the autumn wind blows, the golden wave spreads layer by layer, and the fresh aroma of the soon-to-be-ripening grains is floating in the air, which is refreshing. Farmers are already busy in the fields. Crops such as millet, millet, and sorghum cannot be harvested, but crops such as sturgeons, beans, jutes, and kudzu can be harvested. This year, Nanyang is still in good weather, and these crops are harvested well. The farmers are all filled with happy smiles, and they wield their sickles to harvest their own labor fruits under the scorching sun. Everyone is full of energy, as if they have endless strength.

As a large amount of rice was continuously transported to Wancheng through waterways, the anxiety and panic in Nanyang were greatly alleviated. Acts such as stealing food, robbing food, and stealing decreased exponentially. The originally quite bad public security situation suddenly improved, and these diligent farmers could finally harvest the fruits of their labor with peace of mind.

In Luoyang, I am used to the tragic situation of pastoral desolation, thorns and bones. Looking at the beautiful scenery of this pastoral and pastoral song in Nanyang, it is like coming to another planet, that feeling...

It is difficult to describe it with ink.

The team passed through the fields that were about to harvest and came to the mountains.

It was already dark, so naturally I couldn't go to that valley. Fortunately, Beigong Jing built a camp when he led the army into the mountains to hunt, and everyone stayed in the camp tonight.

The soldiers stationed in the mountains brought the prey they had just caught today and the wild fruits they picked. Li Rui rolled up his sleeves and cleaned up the prey and made them into delicious dishes. Everyone had a delicious meal. After eating, there were many wild fruits to make fruits after meals, which was so delicious.

This is the first time Li Rui enjoys the fruits of this era. The capable sergeant picked back a lot of delicious fruits, including August fried, kiwi, cherries, autumn grapes, wild dates, etc. They are all natural green foods without pesticides and no fertilizers. The fried August fried is extremely plump and sweet when eaten. But there are too many seeds, either swallowing the seeds together, or learning to spray melons and constantly spraying seeds. Kiwifruit is different from modern duck eggs, each of which looks very small, most of them are only the size of thumb, but very sweet. The fruits of autumn grapes are much smaller than those grown by artificially and are also sour, but they are not bad as fruit after meals. They are sour and appetizing!

Wild dates and wild cherries are also very sweet, but the fruits are generally small. This is also impossible. If the nutrients cannot keep up, you can only take the route of concentrating the essence.

There is another fruit that Li Rui is very interested in, which is sauerk. The other name of this fruit is cotton apple, which is a type of apple. It is golden or red when ripened, which looks very attractive. However, its size is much different from today's apples. The three sauerks combined cannot beat one red Fuji, and the taste is very different. The apple meat is crisp and juicy, and the pulp of the sauerk is too raw and hard and astringent. If it is too ripe, it is soft and dry, and it is super easy to rot. So it is not easy to eat delicious sauerks.

Li Rui tasted all these wild fruits one by one and sighed: "The taste is not very good."

Yang Xiu deeply agreed: "It's far worse than the pears, apricots, grapes, peaches, dates and other good fruits grown in my orchard."

Li Rui said: "It's incomparable to the southern oranges, lychees, longans and pomegranates."

This Yang Xiu was not convinced: "No way? Emperor Wen of Wei said that the fruits of oranges, lychees, and longans in the south were very unpalatable."

Li Rui's eyes were wide open: "He called these fruits untreatable!? Has his taste failed?"

Beigong Jing said: "Emperor Wen of Wei did say that these fruits are unpalatable. He said that lychees are either sour or tasteless and smelly, and the longan has nothing but core."

Zhuge Hui smiled and said, "He also said that the most deadly oranges in the south are so sore that their teeth will crack. Only when they encounter great luck can they meet one or two sweet and juicy ones."

Yang Xiu said: "Anyway, in his eyes, the fruits in the south are garbage. Except for sugarcane, they are not allowed to eat anything else!"

Li Rui: "..."
