Chapter 1,458 Training

The two of them, one dressed as a coachman and the other dressed as a factory technician, which is more common nowadays, drove a carriage through the street and across the bridge, but no one recognized them.

When the carriage stopped at Zhang Zhibai's old residence, Su You went to take a shower, put on a refreshing mercerized cotton shirt, pulled out a palm fan and looked around, then went out to the outer courtyard and said to Zhang Qi: "Xiao Qi

Brother, I always feel like I’ve forgotten something?”

Lu Ruo came over and brought a cup of sour plum drink to Su You: "Is it an important matter in the court? Do Bachelors Junshi and Bachelors Lu need to pay a visit?"

"No." Su You shook his head: "Second Master's temperament is that the most he can do in private is to talk about poetry and literature, and the court affairs should be discussed in the court, otherwise I'm afraid he will be ridiculed and boring." Fastest update on mobile phone::

Lu Ruo said: "Is that when you enter the palace to see your Majesty to express your gratitude?"

"No, there's nothing serious to do today. I went into the palace with my hair wet to express my gratitude. People who don't know said that I want to be in office urgently."

Zhang Qi smiled and said: "Speaking of which, there are many things to do about the young master's return to Beijing. Shouldn't it be time to take care of young master Bian Guan's marriage?"

Lu Ruo said: "Yes, this is a big deal!"

Su You shook his head: "It's not a matter of children, why can't I remember it..."

Zhang Qi asked: "Are you going to visit the relatives of the old uncle, the old lady, and the historian of the Cheng family in Beijing?"

Su You said: "Bian Guan hasn't come back yet. If you want to visit, you have to be a whole family... What's going on..."

Zhang Qi asked in a low voice: "Is there something to arrange? Do you want me to inform Cai Jing?"

Su You shook his head: "No, it's not a big deal, it's just... it seems indispensable..."

Lu Ruo suddenly said: "Then it must be Wei's new crops and new livestock, right?!"

"Eh?" Su You stopped holding the fan in his hand: "This is indeed important! We have to go see the growth in two days... No, no, it's too late today, it's definitely not this matter..."

Lu Ruo said: "Then go to Princess Shu's mansion to pick up Young Master Bian Guan first. Then think about it later on the way. The Duke is very naughty. I have to go to the kitchen to check the arrangements first..."

Su You stretched out his hand and slapped his forehead with a fan: "Hey! I remembered it! It's something to eat! The Zhou family's bacon legs and wind radish! Brother Xiao Qi, hurry up..."

Lu Ruo laughed angrily: "This is what has been causing trouble for a long time! Every time the Duke of the State comes to Beijing, Zhou's family will not be able to escape this search... How can you make bacon legs and stewed radish in such a hot weather?

"

Su You said earnestly: "Sister-in-law, let me tell you... cured pork legs can only be stewed with radish, shredded and fried bean sprouts, leeks, braised cabbage, and cold dishes. Aren't they all delicious in summer? Radish is directly

Mixing dried radish and serving porridge in the morning is the most beautiful... Wait, there are a lot of good things in this yard..."

The courtyards inside and outside the Su family's residence are both large. They are placed in standard wooden boxes. In the wooden boxes, steamed chicken dung, cow dung, wood leaves, and fermented humus soil are mixed and fermented. Many plants are planted there.

plant.

This is the benefit of Xiaomei’s discovery. When cultivating and hybridizing crops, sometimes it is necessary to keep the plants to be studied away from the farmland to avoid wind-borne pollen spreading around them.

In addition to plastic greenhouses, planting in Bianjing City can also avoid such risks to the greatest extent.

So the Su family's house became a small green base.

There are two kinds of plants in the base that are bearing fruit. One has small red round fruits, which are tomatoes, and the other has mostly green fruits, with parts already turning red, like small lanterns.

Su You didn't know where the American rubber trees came from, but with these two things, even if the flat jar didn't bring back the rubber trees, it was enough for him to forgive his bold eldest son.

The cultivation skills of flower growers are at the pinnacle of this world. The crops grown in the fertile and breathable soil are many times better than those of the natives in Dadongzhou.

There are many vine crops in this "garden", among which various legumes are the most numerous.

After sending Brother Qi to get the pig legs, Su You started wreaking havoc in the garden with a colander... ah no, picking.

Lu Ruo followed Su You and Colander with a basket, and carefully reminded: "Master Guo, these are... from my little sister's place... Also, didn't you say before that being careful is poisonous..."

Su You said while picking: "I'm familiar with these, and they won't be poisonous after cooking. These beans can be grown and harvested all year round. They can be called green beans. They just need to be cooked thoroughly to eliminate the poison. The rest is fine."

"

"This red one is sour and sweet, shaped like a round eggplant, and can be called a tomato or a persimmon; this one is the best, as it is hot and humid in Sichuan, and people like spicy food, so it can be called a chili pepper or a spicy pepper..."

Lu Ruo asked curiously: "These are all taken from Dongsheng Prefecture. I heard that no one has ever been there, but how did the Duke know about them?"

"Ah?" Su You then realized that he was too excited: "Sister-in-law, you are engaged in music, but you don't know the skills here." :(/

"These plants are also classified. For example, this bean should belong to the phylum Angiosperm, the class Dicotyledon, and the family Fabaceae."

"Even if it comes from Dadongzhou, it can't escape this physical nature."

"Another example is this melon, which can be called Cucurbitaceae. It is the same type as gourds and gourds, and they can basically all be eaten."

"The largest category of vegetables is cruciferous cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, bok choy, greens, radish, mustard, cabbage, cabbage, etc. They all belong to this family, and their characteristics are basal leaves.

It's in a lotus flower costume with petals arranged in a cross, so it's generally edible."

Lu Ruo smiled and said: "You are really a college graduate. You can't move this melon. Look, there is a big one underneath. My little sister told me not to move this one."

Su You looked at the big pumpkin and said, "Okay, let's let this pumpkin go."

Lu Ruo asked: "What is rice melon?"

Su You said with a smile: "It has high yield, is durable in storage, and will not spoil for half a year. Poor people can mix it with staple food for food, and it can be worth half a year's worth of rice!"

Lu Ruo said happily: "In addition to these rice melons and kidney beans, there are also potatoes, sweet potatoes, and cassava. The merits of the flat pot master and the chair master are very great."

Su You finally stopped and looked at Lu Ruo: "I asked my sister-in-law, who lives such a delicate life, why would she accompany me and the colander to pick melons and beans? This is because I saw the opportunity and wanted to tell my nephew something."

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that I'll really beat him up?"

Lu Ruo lowered his head: "It doesn't matter if the Duke wants to beat him. Feel free to beat him, as long as you don't let Xianqing do it."

Su You: "..."

This is an insinuation that the bachelor is powerless! He can’t even beat a child! He’s angry!

Throwing the kidney beans into the green basket: "I'll pick up the flat can and bring it back!"

Looking at Su You's back, Lu Ruo couldn't help but smile: "I said it loudly, but I'm not afraid that Xianqing won't obey, so I went to discuss countermeasures with Bian Guan first..."

Although the princes of the Song Dynasty were not as hardworking as the princes of the Qing Dynasty, it was actually quite difficult.

Song Huizong's calligraphy and painting skills that ruined his family were not something that could be acquired casually. It really took decades of hard practice.

The prince has to master twenty passages of scripture every day, and the way to master them is to copy them fifteen times.

Fortunately, this kind of cramming education was broken by Su You. Starting from Zhao Xu's son, princes can attend royal primary schools and middle schools since childhood.

In addition to the clan, there are also noble children in the school. The curriculum was formulated by Su You, taking into account arts, science, morality, intelligence, physical education, and arts. At the very least, it is no longer just a few gentlemen grabbing a child and pounding it in the study room.

As an emperor, Zhao Xu is a bit special and attends two classes.

He accompanied the Empress Dowager to attend court every three days. On weekdays, in the morning he would receive lectures from the masters assigned to him by Gao Taotao at the Gui Institute or Zishan Hall, and in the afternoon he would go to the junior high school of the Royal Institute of Technology to study.

The class is in a small class, which is located in Su Xiaomei's office. According to the Su family's homeschooling style, students at all stages of learning are all together.

In addition to educating the young, self-study plays a large role. The focus is on cultivating the ability of self-learning and independent thinking.

There are also hands-on skills, including various physical experiments, chemical experiments, biological experiments, observation and recording, and planting and breeding techniques.

For example, the medaka fish that Zhao Xu has been cultivating are often exchanged with Concubine Xian.

As a kid in his early ten years, he was very fascinated by the making of weapons and explosives. After seeing the revolving gun and the small cannon in the Tarzan model, he became even more fascinated.

Bian Guan is also very daring. He is now instilling physics knowledge into Zhao Xu, secretly making parts with Zhao Xu, and preparing to assemble a revolving gun and a small steel cannon by himself.
