Chapter 219
After everyone finished eating the watermelon, they came to the living room. There were still two large pieces of watermelon left.
"Su Chen, is the watermelon from the Western Regions?" Li Tai asked.
"No!" Su Chen shook his head.
Li Tai asked again: "Then why is it called watermelon?"
"Look at what you are asking. Doesn't the Tang Dynasty have winter melon? What's wrong with calling it watermelon? There will be pumpkin in the future!"
This watermelon is native to the Tang Dynasty.
Li Tai glanced at Su Chen and stopped asking questions. Su Chen said it was a watermelon, so it must be a watermelon.
There is really no fruit called watermelon in the Tang Dynasty, and pumpkin only appeared after the Ming Dynasty.
"Jin'er, we are going to Chang'an City tomorrow. Ask someone to pack 20 watermelons tomorrow morning.
Prepare another frozen one and put it in the carriage."
Bring a frozen watermelon so that you can eat frozen food after arriving at the palace. Otherwise, it will not be so fast to freeze the watermelon with ice cubes and water.
"Okay, son-in-law! Jin'er has made a note of it."
Su Chen is going to bring ten watermelons to Li Shimin and his friends, plus an iced one.
The others will be given to the dukes, who will be visiting them.
"I almost forgot about Chang Sunchong and his friends, so I'll give them eight watermelons as well."
Watermelons are not rare, and they can be planted next year.
But if I give too many, I'm worried that they will go bad if I keep them for a long time. It's different if I keep them in the system space.
Su Chen asked Xiao Le if the system space can store things from the outside world.
Xiao Le's answer was: 'I don't know! '
Su Chen tried it himself several times and came to the conclusion:
Items from the system can be taken out and taken back.
Items that are not provided by the system cannot be stored in the system space.
Su Chen had a wild idea and wanted to use the system space as the 'space ring' in the fantasy world.
"Have you made a glass bottle for alcohol?"
Su Chen looked at Li Tai and asked.
"I have made fifteen for now. You can see if the size is appropriate. Each bottle can hold half a dou of alcohol." Li Tai nodded.
"Don't talk about dou. Just talk about how many jins and liangs a bottle can hold."
The last time Su Chen heard Li Tai say a dou, he wanted to ask how many jins a dou was.
In the Tang Dynasty, wine is sold by dou or he. Only the Yuye wine made by Su Chen is sold by jin.
"For bottles of the same size, the weight of alcohol and water seems to be different. The glass bottle made a few days ago can hold about six liang of alcohol."
After Li Tai asked the glass craftsman to make the alcohol bottle, he felt that the bottle of alcohol was a little light. He originally planned to hold half a jin in a bottle.
He unexpectedly discovered that the weight of the same bottle filled with water was different from that of the bottle filled with alcohol. Water is heavier.
"The bottle is too big, so make it smaller. Just put about 2 taels in it. Alcohol will evaporate and lose its effect easily, so as to avoid waste.
As for what you said about the same bottle having different weights, you will know the reason when you learn physics well."
Su Chen was too lazy to explain to Li Tai the density problem of the two. He could just throw the physics book to him.
"Physics? Great!"
Li Tai was overjoyed when he heard this. He guessed that Su Chen was going to teach him new knowledge again.
Li You, who had been sitting aside without saying anything, picked up the remaining piece of watermelon and ate it slowly.
"Brother-in-law, is this watermelon rind useful?"
After eating the watermelon, Li You asked.
"No use."
Su Chen looked at the pig farmer in confusion, wondering what he wanted to do by asking about the watermelon.
"That's great. The pigs I raise have a great appetite and eat everything."
Li You said and collected all the leftover watermelon rinds on a wooden plate.
"Haha, you really care about those pigs. Even if you cook this little watermelon rind into soup, it's not enough for your one thousand pigs."
Su Chen said with a smile. This kid is really obsessed with raising pigs.
"Son-in-law, he often buys white winter melon to feed the pigs!" Jin'er said with a smile.
Since the sweet potato vines were gone after the sweet potato harvest, Li You began to apply for funds from Jin'er's housekeeper every now and then.
He bought some common and cheap things to feed the pigs, and sometimes asked people to go to the farmers to collect some vegetable leaves.
Li You learned from the pig raising manual that pigs cannot be fed only with special feed.
Some fruits and vegetables should also be mixed in to feed, which is beneficial to improve the quality of pork and promote the growth rate of live pigs.
However, since he came to the manor from the palace, he has been penniless.
He can only apply for pig raising funds from the housekeeper like begging.
This is also Su Chen's negligence. He doesn't spend much money himself, so he has never thought of giving pocket money to these princes and sons of the manor.
Fortunately, Jin'er knew the big picture and never made things difficult for Li You. She was very generous every time she spent money.
The minimum was 500 coins, and the maximum was one string.
"Well, those 1,000 pigs are a big deal for the people of the Tang Dynasty to make a fortune in the future. Don't be afraid to spend money."
Su Chen is still waiting for the pigs to give birth next year. Maybe when the pigs are born,He can get a lot of points if he can get a pen.
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will take good care of those pigs."
Li You patted his chest and promised,
"Good, you have a promising future! I'm optimistic about you!"
Su Chen patted Li You's shoulder and encouraged him solemnly.
"Yeah!"
Li You nodded heavily, his eyes were extremely firm.
Princess Changle and others saw that Li You was fooled and could hardly find the direction of the palace.
"Su Chen, it's getting late. Let's set off for the palace early tomorrow. I'm going to rest."
Princess Changle looked at the time and it was almost nine o'clock.
"Okay, everyone go to bed early!" Su Chen nodded and said.
Everyone dispersed.
...
The next day, it was more than five in the morning.
Three carriages were parked in the square of the manor.
"Why haven't you come yet? Are you still sleeping now?"
Princess Changle had been eating buns and had been in the square for nearly twenty minutes.
Since she was frightened by Su Chen pretending to sleep last time, she never planned to wake Su Chen up again.
Every time she woke Su Chen up, she suffered.
"Wang Chao, send someone to deliver these watermelons to Hua County, no need to wait for us to set off together."
Princess Changle ordered Wang Chao.
"Yes, Miss!"
Wang Chao immediately ordered the servants to drive the carriage to Hua County.
Not long after, Su Chen walked towards the square without hurrying.
"Sorry, I got up late!"
Princess Changle shook her head slightly, "Let's go, I asked Wang Chao and others to set off first."
The eight watermelons in the cart were sent to Hua County, and they were not going the same way as them.
"Okay, where are Li Tai, Li You and others?"
Su Chen made a gesture of invitation and asked her to get on the carriage first.
"Hmph, forget about them, they don't want to go back to the palace!"
Princess Changle snorted. Li You and Li Tai came over and asked her to go back to the palace to greet her father, mother and grandson.
At the same time, they told Li Shimin that they were busy and would go back to the queen later.
However, Li Tai brought some things and put them in her carriage, saying that Su Chen wanted to take them to the palace.
Su Chen nodded when he heard it. Not long ago, everyone went back to the palace to get together during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was not a big problem not to go back this time.
"Then forget about them, let's go."
Su Chen helped Princess Changle get on the carriage.
