Chapter 981: Bean sprouts!

5 min read1,357 words

After Han Jiazhuang pointed out a few small mistakes in the greenhouse built

by Hu Hanyun, Li Zexuan hurriedly left.

"Lady, do you have soybeans or mung beans at home?"

Back in Chang'an's home, Li Zexuan asked Han Yuxi in the courtyard directly.

Yes, he wants to get some bean sprouts to eat.

Although greenhouse vegetables can provide vegetables on a large scale in

winter, they can’t quench their immediate thirst. It’s less likely to have to

wait for nearly two months before they can eat them. Yesterday, the vegetables

they ate were all served from the palace of Wei.

It's harmless to pass once or twice, but the more times, it's not beautiful.

In the afternoon, the small piece of bean sprouts in the field of Lao Hu's

family made Li Zexuan's eyes bright. It takes a long time for the vegetables

in the greenhouse to mature, but bean sprouts are not needed! In this season

when vegetables are scarce, the crisp and refreshing bean sprouts feel much

better than big fish and meat!

"Msang-gong, there should be green beans at home, but what is a soybean~?"

Han Yuxi heard the sound, thought about it, and asked strangely.

Both mung beans and soybeans have been cultivated in China for thousands of

years. They existed before the Western Zhou Dynasty. The ancients called mung

beans green beans. Although they are different in words, they have the same

pronunciation. Therefore, when Li Zexuan said mung beans, Han Yuxi can also

understand his meaning. .

But soy beans are different. At this time, there is no such name as soy beans.

It is generally believed that the term "soya bean" was first introduced in the

"Kaiyuan Zhanjing" (written between 718 and 726) and "Soybean" in the Tang

Dynasty. "Youyang Zazu" and other books appeared, all of which were used in

the language of Shu and soybean before.

Regarding soybeans, there is another interesting story. During the reign of

Emperor Wenzong Li Ang of the Tang Dynasty, a strange thing happened in the

capital city of Chang'an: the price of agricultural soybeans, which was

originally a low price, soared overnight, and a stone of soybeans sold for

twelve taels of gold! It is said that Tang Wenzong loves big breasted women,

and there is a maid surnamed Wang, who flew up to a branch and turned into a

phoenix just because of a certain part of the abnormally protruding part.

With this successful precedent, the concubines of the harem deep courtyard

began to buy and stock up soy beans in large quantities, and they must eat

every meal. Because according to the theory of Chinese medicine, soybean has a

certain effect of breast enhancement. With the help of the concubines' panic

buying, the price of beans in Chang'an City has risen faster than modern house

prices!

"Uh... it's soybeans, lady, do we have soybeans in our house~?"

Li Zexuan patted his head, gathered the memories of this body's predecessor,

and quickly changed his words.

"Yeah! Yes! What does Xiang Gong want soybeans and green beans for?"

Han Yuxi responded.

Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Hey! Lady, you will know it then!"

After that, he happily went straight to the kitchen and asked for a scoop of

mung beans and a scoop of soybeans from the chef, Aunt Zhao, and soaked the

two kinds of beans in clear water. In his previous life, Li Zexuan’s

grandmother often made bean sprouts. He is quite familiar with the steps of

bean sprouts. Soaking beans in water is only the first step. According to his

grandmother’s experience, beans must be soaked for at least 8 hours before

proceeding to the next step.

"Sang Gong, what do you make beans for? Is it because you want to grind tofu?"

Han Yuxi followed in, and couldn't help asking after seeing what Li Zexuan had

done.

When Li Zexuan heard this, he turned around and looked at Han Yuxi's chest

with a smirk and said, "My husband, I only eat tofu, but I can't make tofu!"

"What are you talking about, Xiang Gong? Aunt Zhao is still there!"

Han Yuxi's cheeks were blushing, angrily.

Although she didn't understand what "eat tofu" meant, but seeing the nasty

smile on Li Zexuan's face, she guessed what it meant. She secretly said that

her mate sometimes looks like a gentleman, sometimes he looks lusty and

wicked. It's so special!

Aunt Zhao outside the door quickly coughed and walked away.

Li Zexuan saw Han Yuxi's face ashamed, and couldn't bear to tease her anymore,

so he went back to the truth and preached: "Soaking beans for her husband is

to let the beans sprout. Although our family has two greenhouses to grow

vegetables, if we want to eat the vegetables inside, we don't have to talk

about it. It will take two months. After the beans sprout, take the sprouts

and stir-fry them in a pot. It is also a delicious dish! Before the vegetables

in the greenhouse come out, this dish is a very good substitute!"

Han Yuxi is obviously not the kind of deep boudoir who doesn't eat fireworks

and doesn't know about farming. She frowned and said, "Msang Gong, this bean

has been soaked in the water, I'm afraid it won't sprout, but it will smell!"

Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Of course I won't let him soak in the water all

the time. There will be more steps later! When tomorrow morning, the husband

will take out the beans and place them in a bamboo sieve covered with wet

gauze. In a basin filled with water, the basin should not be too large, so

that the beans can breathe.

The bamboo sieve needs to be covered with another piece of wet gauze, and

finally a bowl with a little emphasis is pressed on it. The weight of the bowl

can make the bean sprouts stronger. After that, water the beans three to six

times a day to keep the beans moist. After drenching, continue to cover it

with wet gauze~www.mtlnovel.com~ On the fifth day, the bean sprouts on the

corners have grown, and there are already roots, ready to eat! "

Han Yuxi listened carefully. At the end, she asked, "Msang-gong, how do you

know so much? Have you done it yourself before?"

It was mainly Li Zexuan's pretentious look that made her wonder if Li Zexuan

had made bean sprouts before, so she was so surprised.

Li Zexuan touched his nose. Although he had never done it personally, he had

seen his grandmother do it many times.

"Ahem! Be it!"

Li Zexuan gave a dry cough and said vaguely: "In any case, lady, you can see

what the bean sprouts look like in five days, and you can taste this

deliciousness!"

Han Yuxi put his hand in the water basin, gently stroked the soybeans in the

basin, and raised her head and said: "Msang Gong, there is also Yanhuang

Academy in Zhuangzi that needs you. You still have a lot of work to do. Leave

this to your concubine. Come and do it! The concubine body has all remembered

the steps you mentioned earlier, and it is not a troublesome matter. The

concubine body will definitely do it for you!"

Li Zexuan thought for a while and nodded: "That's good! There is a lady!"

He was very relieved of his wife's ability to do things. In some things, Han

Yuxi's carefulness even made him feel inferior. The daughter-in-law he married

seemed simple, but it was not.

"Msang-gong, Dad already knows that you are going to promote greenhouse

vegetables in the village. He said that since you are confident that you can

grow vegetables in the winter through this method, you can use this to make

the other six villagers in our family rich in one fell swoop! But Dad said

There is one thing you may have overlooked, he asked his concubine to remind

you!"

Han Yuxi took his hand out of the basin and suddenly said to Li Zexuan

seriously.
