Chapter 461: New things come to Beijing

When the hot air balloons of the tour group were ready to take off, the radio station on Zhang Xiaobao's back rang driply. Wang Juan translated the content as quickly as possible, looked at each other with Zhang Xiaobao, with infinite surprises in his eyes.

"I'm back, and people who go to North America are finally back. We can eat Jingdichuan hotpot in the future, and we can also make fried eggs with tomatoes for Xiaobei and the others, as well as my cigarettes, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted potatoes, and…"

The first thing Zhang Xiaobao thought of was eating.

Wang Juan also nodded violently. She also knew the value of the things the team brought back when they came back. It would make many more dishes on the dining tables of the people of the Tang Dynasty, especially potatoes, which can be stored for a long time. Like cabbage, peppers not only make people feel good when they are eaten, but also have certain medicinal benefits.

Touching Xiao Bei's head standing next to her, Wang Juan said to her: "Xiao Bei, you're almost eating popcorn and corn flour pancakes, and you can eat salted fish. People who walk outside will have a lot of dry food varieties."

"What is corn? Is there any rice blossom delicious?" Xiao Bei stuck out his tongue and *******'s lips.

"It's corn, but there are many names. It can be cooked as snacks, orders, and travel is suspended, and Shuiyun will send some seeds."

Wang Juan was really hard to explain to Xiao Bei. No matter how good he said, it would be better to directly issue an order immediately when he saw the physical object.

The traveler who had just returned to Jilizhou slept beautifully and according to the order, he packed many strange seeds he had obtained, tied them to Shuiyun's feet, and let them fly in the sky.

While waiting, Zhang Xiaobao thought of Li Bai again.

Recently, Li Bai wrote a lot of poems for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to see, hoping to get the appreciation of the two and get a satisfactory position, but the result was not very good.

Before Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were about to go out this time, they arranged for him to join the army of Sicang from Jilizhou. They are considered to be a sixth-rank official, not small, but there are still many regrets compared to their yearning for the capital.

Now that he knows that there are new varieties to come, in order to preserve them well, Zhang Xiaobao does not intend to let Li Bai continue to manage the warehouse. He is afraid that Li Bai will kill the newly obtained seeds one day after drinking too much, so he will have no place to cry.

After finding Li Bai who was packing his luggage, Zhang Xiaobao said to him very directly: "Mr. Li, there are two places where you can choose again. One is to be the county magistrate in Jian'an. I will give you a task to lead the people of Jian'an to plant a new thing in the greenhouse. This greenhouse is a glass greenhouse and is no longer simple."

Li Bai listened carefully and heard Zhang Xiaobao say something new. He was a little curious, but he didn't want to stay. A county with a population of only more than 100 can be called a county? Even if smallpox is planted, it is useless.

Then he asked, "What about the second type?"

"The second choice is to go to Beijing to become an official. You first go to Jilizhou, get a few seeds there, take them with you when you return to Beijing, and then go directly to Sinong Temple to let you plant them. Your official position is also in Sinong Temple. Well... just act as a garden supervisor. What's the name of a new garden... Oh, it's called the Import Garden. Do you think it's done?"

Zhang Xiaobao suddenly thought of a new name and a new department and asked Li Bai.

Li Bai made a little estimate and knew that the new official position was from the sixth rank, which was a bit powerful and was also a Beijing official. He had not considered whether this official position was as he thought, but he had a new understanding of the ability of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

After listening to Zhang Xiaobao's words, you can tell that there is no imported garden in Sinong Temple. Zhang Xiaobao is going to create one for him, which is confident, as if he said that Sinong Temple is like this. Sinong Temple is just like this. The sixth-rank official said that he would stuff one over.

Feeling Zhang Xiaobao's strength, Li Bai temporarily believed that Zhang Xiaobao could successfully split a garden in Sinong Temple for him to take care of. But when he thought about it, he found that no matter what garden it was, his official position was a little small, and he had to farm, so he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Zhang Xiaobao knew what the other party was thinking when he saw Li Bai's expression. He felt very uncomfortable. He was not satisfied with giving a sixth-rank official when he came up. This was given by looking at the other party's name as a poet.

"Which one of you, Mr. Li, thinks is more suitable?" Zhang Xiaobao asked patiently.

"Can you change the place?" Li Bai was unwilling to study farming matters from the bottom of his heart.

"Then you either go to the Ministry of Rites and be a secretary, who is also a sixth-rank official." Zhang Xiaobao thought about it and gave another official position.

Li Bai lowered his head and thought for a while, but the expression on his face was still the same as before, as if the Ministry of Rites was not very good.

"If the Ministry of Rites doesn't work, go to the Ministry of Revenue and be a capital official, a seventh-rank official." Zhang Xiaobao is thinking about new varieties now, so he should send Li Bai out as soon as possible.

The Ministry of Revenue is a very important department in charge of money. It can be seen from the Shangshu even if it is in charge. It is convenient to get in touch with it. It is a good place, but the grade has dropped.

Li Bai gritted his teeth and asked, "Can you be a doctor?"

"What do you think?" Zhang Xiaobao asked back. He knew that Li Bai wanted to be a doctor in the left and right departments of each department, a fifth-rank official, and could attend the early morning court. This was just a joke. It was not that he couldn't arrange it, but that Li Bai, how could you, who would want to jump directly to an important position in the fifth-rank?

Li Bai also felt that his request was too much, but he was full of expectations. After thinking about it, he said, "Then it's better to act as a capital."

This is how he returned. Li Bai was thinking about entering the capital and then trying to find a way to meet the officials in the capital. After getting familiar with it, he asked him to help recommend it. If not, use Zhang Xiaobao's this and slowly look for opportunities.

Zhang Xiaobao specializes in studying people's psychology. How can he not know what Li Bai is thinking? Li Bai's eyes moved. Zhang Xiaobao knew the other party's small abacus from it, and did not expose it. He asked him to try it out and see who dared to intervene? Not to mention officials from various departments, even if it is bigger, he didn't see Zhang's statement that the Zhongshu Ling had been brought down.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaobao laughed in his heart, took Li Bai into the house, spread out the paper, grind the ink, and took the pen to write on it, saying that Li Bai and Li Taibai are the Minister of Revenue, and will take a trial for one year, and wait for the next year to take the exam. Zhang Xiaobao.

A few simple words will give Li Bai’s official position and discuss a new position after the evaluation next year.

Li Bai thought Zhang Xiaobao would praise him hard and write down the reasons for the recommendation, which made people think it should be good. He didn't expect that Zhang Xiaobao would write so simply.

Looking at the undried ink trace, he asked worriedly: "Is this true?"

"That's right." Zhang Xiaobao put down his pen and picked up his seal and stamped it upwards. This seal was also made by himself. The seal of the governor has long become a habit. Li Longji was stingy and just wanted to be appointed as an official. Other things such as clothes, stamping letters, etc. are not responsible.

"Who will I show it to you after I arrive in the capital?" No matter how Li Bai said that, he didn't think that this letter could achieve its goal. It was too simple to write.

Zhang Xiaobao put down his pen and whispered ink. "You can show it to anyone. As long as you enter the Beijing official's business place, you will take it out, anyone who sees it will take you to meet the person who arranges the position. The Ministry of Personnel in charge of the officials can do it. It is okay if you want to go to the Ministry of Revenue, which is an official, or let Li directly... His Majesty make arrangements for you as soon as he sees it.

Go, don’t forget to help bring the seeds when passing by Jilizhou. I will write another letter to Sinong Temple and ask them to set up an imported garden. Oh, after arriving in the capital, you can ask Wang Wei, he is good at writing poetry."

After saying that, Zhang Xiaobao casually stuffed the new fold into Li Bai's hand, and it was done.

Li Bai held a letter in his hand and watched Zhang Xiaobao go out, his face was dull. He always felt that Zhang Xiaobao agreed too easily, and said that he would be a Beijing official, and that he would come a little quick. In theory, he should not be like this if he wanted to go to Beijing to become an official.

I looked at the letter in my hand again, took a deep breath, and then slowly vomited it out. I had to treat the dead horse as a living horse doctor. I would try it after I entered Beijing.

He lowered his head and walked out with infinite melancholy. He looked up and saw Zhang Xiaohai squatting there, writing and painting on the snow. Li Bai found that during the days he came into contact, Xiaohai was silent for too long, much worse than his sister Xiaobei. He curiously leaned over to see what Xiaohai wrote.

When he saw what Xiaohai wrote, Li Bai was confused again and couldn't understand it at all, because Xiaohai wrote that the side length was x, the area was y, 2yz...

What a mess, ghostly talisman?

Xiaohai didn't notice Li Bai's arrival at all, and was still pondering there. Calculated that if it were Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's people at that time, they would definitely shout genius, but unfortunately Li Bai was not.

"Hey~! I have to ask my sister how to eliminate the yuan." Xiao Hai calculated for a while, and found that he couldn't calculate it, and his little face wrinkled and muttered.

"What are you writing?" Li Bai asked in confusion.

"You don't understand even if you say it. Brother has arranged an official for you?" Xiaohai said a few more words unexpectedly.

Li Bai nodded.

"Then do it well, don't think it's a little official. I heard from my brother and sister that my father studied hard for more than ten years and got the top scorer. In the end, he was just a seventh-rank official in front of him. If you dare to slander your brother, I will ask my sister to impeach you together."

Xiaohai said a lot today, especially for outsiders.

Li Bai was in a obviously not very good mood and was threatened by a child. What does it mean? Do you look down on yourself?

At that moment, Li Bai didn't respond and turned around and left, but he was really scared in his heart, afraid that the nine children would jointly impeach. If you don't joke, there has been a precedent, and one shot will be accurate.

Li Bai left with the hope in his heart. Under the protection of the four people, he went to the beach to take a boat. Then he moved to Jilizhou and took the seeds to Beijing.

The water clouds are also here, not from themselves, and they also bring a companion, a big red eagle, one white and one red flying in the sky is very conspicuous. They are named Hongluan and are considered fairy birds. In Zhang Ying's eyes, only fairy birds can match water clouds.

The two eagles brought a pack of things. Judging from the traces, they should have stopped to rest on the way. There was snow and ice at the bottom of the package, and some soil was stained with blood from some animal left by the two eagles when they were eating.

Zhang Xiaobao only looked at the package and did not rush to open it. Instead, he touched Shuiyun's head and said to him: "Congratulations, the one you are looking for is good. I have never seen a red eagle. When you have a child, you have to say hello and don't fall to death."

As if he understood Zhang Xiaobao's words, Shui Yun rubbed his head against Zhang Xiaobao's face, and his sharp mouth made people scared to see it.

Xiao Bei asked someone to kill a deer and sent it to Shuiyun. He also said, "When we have a baby, our children's group will catch insects. It's better to have more than 100, so we have to work hard."

After Shuiyun took Hongluan to eat, Zhang Xiaobao then opened the package, which contained sprouted sweet potatoes and potatoes. It was thought that the temperature was relatively high when on the boat, so it was dug down and sent to the greenhouse for planting. In addition to these two, there were coffee beans and cocoa.

"Please send someone to Luzhou for planting." Zhang Xiaobao picked out the two things, but Jian'an couldn't plant them.

Next were more than a dozen ears of corn, and a lot of peppers. A pack of smoke and seeds made with very poor drying, half a plate of hair sap, that is, sunflower seeds, and the seeds of washed tomatoes. It seemed that they had a lot of harvest. As for wood, they did not send samples. I guess they were afraid that water and clouds would be tired.

Wang Juan also looked at it and said in confusion: "I remember a few things from South America. Didn't they go there?"

"You remember wrongly, come to Xiaobei to prepare the seasoning for Malatang and make a real Malatang for you." Zhang Xiaobao replied to Wang Juan, picked up the peppers and ordered Xiaobei who was also curious to look at him.

Xiao Bei slashed his mouth and shook his head, "Do you want to eat this? Or save it for the seeds."

"The inside is the seeds, and the skin on the outside is not counted, so you can eat it." Zhang Xiaobao pinched a little pepper and put it in his mouth to taste it, sticking out his tongue to explain to Xiaobei.

"Oh, you're having a good meal." Xiao Bei cheered and hurriedly ran to arrange it.

Zhang Xiaobao took this time to call the people in the county and the left-behind people, and complemented Wang Juan to introduce several crop planting methods. They could not wait until next year to take care of the Turks. As for future plans, they had to wait until the locals came out before talking about the crops.

Soon, Xiao Bei prepared the food and took all the seasonings and what he wanted to eat. The only thing he lacked was the mountain pepper seedlings. With real peppers, the substitutes would not be used.

Zhang Xiaobao put a lot of chili peppers in a grid, and then fryed the chili oil, combined with pepper oil and sesame sauce, and you can eat it when the water boils.

After Bei Bei tried hard to blow the fire, the water finally rolled up. Before he could eat it, the smell of chili penetrated into his nose.

"Ah! So spicy." Xiao Bei sneezed hard and said with red eyes.

The other group of people who smelled the smell also nodded. It turned out that they thought onions, ginger, garlic, and mountain pepper seedlings were spicy enough. Today they realized what spicy is.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan swallowed at the same time. Only the two of them knew the deliciousness of the peppers. A handful of bean skins were stuffed into the grid by Zhang Xiaobao and rinsed them hard. When the bean skins became soft, they took them out and distributed them to nine younger brothers and sisters, and poured some chili oil and pepper oil on them.

"Eat it, and make boiled meat slices and boiled fish for you in the future."

Xiao Bei nodded his head twice, leaned over and smelled it. The smell of red oil and sesame oil was mixed together. Before he could eat it, he felt it smelled fragrant. He took a deep breath and prepared to be spicy first. Then he carefully picked up a bunch of bean peels and put them in his mouth.

In less than two seconds, Xiao Bei's eyes suddenly became bigger, and the movements on his hands stopped. For another two seconds, Xiao Bei pulled down the tag and chewed hard. Sweat was obviously on his forehead. Even so, he did not stop doing the movements on his mouth. When he swallowed the thing, he opened his mouth, vented his breath, and said in a vague voice:

"Okay, so spicy, I want that soup, give me some soup, it's comfortable, so comfortable and warm."

"You still drink soup with spicy food?" Xiaoyuan didn't eat it, obviously scared by Xiaobei's reaction.

"What do you know? You want to eat more and more. If you dare not cooperate with me in the future, I will use chili water to let you know how great it is." Xiao Bei suddenly thought of a good idea.

Zhang Xiaobao was stunned, looked at Wang Juan, and said, "It seems that our Beibei is really talented. I know the trick of filling pepper water. I have never tried what it feels like to pour this thing into my nose."

"It can cure a cold." Wang Juan said.

Xiaoyuan watched Xiaobei eat while hesitating, and finally couldn't help but taste it. As a result, he became the same as Xiaobei, and the more spicy he wanted to eat it.

Others also came to taste it, including the people in the county, who all thought this thing was magical.
