    The days always go by very quickly when you are busy.  The autumn harvest season is coming soon. The harvest on King Yan's farm is indeed excellent, and his Mansion of King Yan is already fully built.

    Rows of new houses have also been built on the farm. From the people who lived in the prefect's Yamen, other courtyards and other places, some people were selected from each. More than 300 people were all arranged to come to the farm.  The one thousand people in the camp, including the original nearly one thousand people, were also led by Ding Qianhu to open up wasteland and cultivate two large pieces of farmland. The crops they planted were enough to support themselves.

    "Everyone's life is getting better, and they are naturally more convinced of Zhao Qianhu."  The camp used to farm, but it only allowed them to grow some vegetables and a small amount of grain as a subsidy. There were times when they didn't have enough to eat.  Now he can eat every meal, and Zhao Qianhu often takes his elite soldiers to hunt in the mountains and fish in the river. Every now and then, he can give the soldiers a meal of meat and some meat.  The living standards of the soldiers have greatly improved, and they naturally listen to Zhao Qianhu's words more and more.

    After this autumn harvest, the magistrate was very honest and did not dare to do anything wrong. He directly handed over all the taxes collected to King Yan. King Yan¡¯s granary was full at once and he could not finish it.  Therefore, he asked Dalang to go to Beijing again. Firstly, he had to replenish some goods, and secondly, he had to bring some food to give to the emperor as a gift for that year.  The imperial court lacked tax revenue from Liangping Mansion, and as a son he had no money, but he had to give New Year's gifts to the emperor, so he simply dragged two carts of grain to Beijing.  Therefore, the New Year's gifts given by King Yan to the emperor and prince were the most common things.

    When the emperor received the New Year's gift from King Yan, he was dumbfounded.  However, when he learned that his son had actually opened more than 500 acres of wasteland to farm on his own, he felt very guilty.  King Yan has never enjoyed himself a day since he was a child. He used to fight in wars for several years, and now he goes to farm again.  Because he didn't plant crops and was afraid of starving himself, King Yan had of course known for a long time that he had no place to stay or food to eat when he arrived in Liangping Mansion a year ago.

    At this moment, the emperor couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and proud at the same time.  Because he understands very well that this son is really a capable person. He has no food and no place to live. He can survive by force. Not to mention, he can also open up wasteland and farm by himself, raise so many people, and does not exploit the local people.  of common people.  It can be seen that King Yan can live well no matter where he is.

    With Dalang¡¯s return, the happiest people belong to the Chen family.  They didn't care how entangled the emperor was in his heart.

    By the time Dalang returned home happily after finishing his errands, Xin Hu had already cooked himself and made a table full of his favorite dishes.

    "Oh, it smells so good. I've made so many delicious things." Dalang smiled, stretched out his hand, picked up a piece of chicken and threw it into his mouth.

    ¡°That¡¯s right, isn¡¯t this meant to entertain you?¡± Xin Hu joked.

    "Entertain me? Hehehehe, how do you want to entertain me?" Dalang approached Xinhu, looked at her with faint eyes, and asked.  After finishing a chicken leg and drinking a bowl of chicken soup, he felt full of food and was in the mood to chat with Xin Hu.

    "Eat quickly." Xin Hu pretended not to understand what he said. He also picked up a bowl of chicken soup and drank it slowly.

    I haven¡¯t seen him for more than half a year. Dalang seems to have grown a little taller, but his face is still a little dark, probably because of the long journey, and there is still a faint look of exhaustion on his face.

    After eating, Xin Hu immediately said: "Go and have a good rest." She was afraid that this guy would be full and warm and sleepy.

    A man of this age is very energetic and impulsive, which makes Xin Hu feel a little sorry for him.

    "However, this is not modern times. No one cares about two young people falling in love, kissing me, hugging each other, or even actually having that kind of relationship, it doesn't matter.  Now, if you are caught doing this kind of behavior, you will be scolded for being immoral and criticized for the rest of your life, and you may not be able to hold your head up. In serious cases, you may even be thrown into the pond.  She didn't want to be talked about for the rest of her life, or even affect future generations.

    Dalang glanced at her resentfully, with longing in his eyes. Xinhu was burned by the fire in his eyes, but he said firmly: "Okay, okay, go and rest quickly.  Look at the dark circles under your eyes, you need to take a good rest for a few days."

    "Oh, I still have to endure it." Dalang sighed helplessly and went back to the room with his legs crossed.

    It seems that it is getting harder and harder for him to control himself now that he is facing Xinhu.  Especially when the two of them were so close just now, he could clearly smell the special feminine scent of Xin Hu, which almost made him lose control.

    Because he was doing business and socializing a lot, he also went to some romantic places. He only dared to drink wine and watch others flirting with those romantic women. Although he could control himself, he would comfort himself afterwards.  I even have frequent erotic dreams. Whenever I wake up in the morning,Not to mention that they have not raised Dabao, even if they have raised him, if there are still people in the Chen family, the Chen family has to make the decision. Even at the wedding banquet, they can be guests and cannot interfere with anything.  Besides, they could see clearly that Dalang and Xin Hu were very kind to Dabao and would never treat him badly, so they shouldn't bother him.

    "With the dim sum shop making so much money, I guess more people will be secretly jealous in the future." Dalang said with a headache.  If the business is good, he will be worried. If the business is not good, he will be even more worried.

    "Indeed, now we are in Beijing, under the emperor's nose, no one dares to say anything. So some people have asked us to open branches and go to other state capitals, but I have not agreed." Xin Hu said.

    ¡°After all, the dim sum shop is indeed making money like water. From the opening to now, it has been sold out every day. This kind of good business is really unique in the world.  And now the world's unique dim sum is not only popular in the capital, but has spread all over the world.  There are even people who come from far away to buy snacks, and there are also people from the capital who buy snacks to give to relatives and friends far away.  These snacks have now become an important variety for everyone to give as gifts.

    It¡¯s just that these snacks are not stored for a long time.  For example, cake-like snacks are the easiest to spoil.  You cannot buy it and keep it at home to eat slowly, or send it to a far away place.  Biscuits, on the other hand, can be stored for a longer period of time, but storage is not very convenient. There are no modern plastic bags here, so Xinhu also thought of many ways to preserve them.

    But if you leave it for a little longer, the biscuits will become less crispy. Although they have not deteriorated, the taste will be affected.  And cakes like cakes can be stored for a few days when the weather is cold. When the weather is hot, she reminds everyone to eat them as soon as they are bought. They can only be eaten on the second day at most, as they will go bad on the third day.

    There are no preservatives or vacuum packaging these days, so the preservation of these foods is really a big trouble.

    This also prevents the food processing industry from forming industrialized production and processing.  It can only be cooked and eaten now, and it is sold now.  Otherwise, Xinhu would like to open a food processing factory, process the biscuits she knows how to make into boxes, and sell them to other places.

    The business of Tianxia Jue, which relies on five kinds of dim sum, has been booming, but recently Xinhu has added two new varieties.  One is very simple, just slice the steamed buns and bake them dry. They can be made into two categories: salty and sweet. Among them, the sesame flavor and the burnt salt flavor are the most popular. Because she made a total of seven flavors, she simply changed the name to Qiweisu.  .  And because it is simple to make and the price is much cheaper than other snacks, it has become the largest-selling variety.

    One is the egg-flavored yuan biscuits. Although these are also made of eggs, because they are baked dry, they have a much longer shelf life than cakes.  Both varieties can be kept for a period of time, so she increased the portion and reduced the portion of the cake.

    When others see that she can launch new varieties from time to time, they value the Tianxia Jue brand even more.

    "Is the business in the shop in Liangping Mansion good? Do you want to introduce new varieties?" Xin Hu asked.  She plans to pass on two new varieties to Aunt Ma, especially the steamed bun slices, which are very simple to make.  Just write a letter to Aunt Ma and she can try it out herself.  But making egg-flavored yuan biscuits is much more difficult, and it depends on her talent.

    "Hey, you've launched a new variety again? I haven't tried it yet?" Dalang said dissatisfied.

    "What's this? I'll let you eat to your heart's content this morning." Xin Hu said with a smile.  While the two were chatting and laughing, the maid came to invite them to have breakfast.

    As expected, there were two plates of grilled steamed buns and a small plate of egg-flavored yuan cookies on the table.

    "Try them both, which one tastes better to you?"

    After Dalang tasted it, he said: "The steamed bun slices are more delicious. Children should like to eat this egg-flavored bun."

    "That's right. That's true." Xin Hu smiled.  Many guests said the same thing.

    "These two can also be stored for a longer period of time. If you are in a hurry to return to Liangping Mansion, I will ask them to make more and bring it back to you to eat. You can also eat it on the road." Xin Hu said.

    "Well, I have to return to Liangping Mansion. It is definitely impossible to celebrate the New Year in the capital. We will wait for the emperor's reward to King Yan to come down, and then we will set off." Dalang said, putting down his chopsticks very disappointed.

    It¡¯s really frustrating to live this life.  After they grew up, they spent a total of New Year's Eve together the year before last, and they were still indifferent. This year, he had to spend the New Year alone in Liangping Mansion.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
