Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 897

The father and son were shocked when they saw the disassembled whales on the beach.Obviously it was from a nearby village and was familiar with many of the people present, so they knew the reason after a little questioning.

Lao Tzu suddenly became excited: "My father and I will go home and send the kelp back, and come back to get the fish immediately!"

The son was obviously also attracted by Fang Jun's grilled fish. He sniffed, his eyes sparkled, he nodded vigorously, and ran home with his feet loose.There are very few catches today. These kelp were pulled from the fishing nets, and I was reluctant to throw them away, so I took them back to feed the pigs.

When passing by the barbecue stand, although the father and son made a big circle in fear of disturbing the nobleman, they were still called by Fang Jun.

"What are you carrying kelp?"

"Returning to the nobleman, it is true."

"Good things, sell them all to me, so you don't have to send them home and have to rush back. Come, give this old man some money, and keep the kelp."

Seeing a soldier take a dozen coins and put them in his hand, the father seemed to have been stung, and quickly stuffed the copper coins back.

"I can't do it, I can't do it... It's just some broken kelp. If you want it, I'll give it to you. It's worthless. Anyway, it's nothing for the pigs at home to starve."

This broken kelp can only be used to feed pigs, not humans.This food is very hard, and people will feel full after eating it. Unless it is a natural disaster, when there is really nothing to eat, they will fish some by the way when fishing in the sea. It is better than starving to death...

Fang Jun widened his eyes and said in amazement, "Are you feeding this to pigs?"

"Ang!" The father nodded in a daze.

If you don't feed pigs, can you give people food?

Fang Jun was speechless, he was really poor by guarding the golden mountain, and begging for food by guarding the golden rice bowl, you deserve to be hungry!

"Come here, give the money to this old man. Take the kelp back to the boat, wash it, cook it, clean it up like this, and bring it to Ben Hou to eat."

"promise!"

The cook forced the money to the father, but Kelp ran back to the boat.

Everyone was stunned.

The father's face was red, and he didn't know what to do with the money in his hands. He said dully: "This nobleman... this is for pigs to eat!"

How can the food that pigs eat be given to the nobles?
Fang Jun stared and said: "You are a bunch of idiots, do you know that? Not only can this stuff be eaten, but it's also very delicious! It's just that your cooking method is wrong, you have to cook it first and add some condiments, otherwise it's hard to swallow. And eat more

Using kelp can also prevent a big neck disease! "

Liu Rengui was drinking in silence at first, when he heard the words, he was shocked, looked at Fang Jun in surprise and asked, "Your Majesty's words are serious?"

"Nonsense, can this Marquis still lie to you?"

Iodine deficiency was common among ancient people, which has long been confirmed by many studies around the world. Iodine deficiency leads to goiter and even deafness.Iodine is extremely important for the development of the brain, which is a very common knowledge in later generations, especially if pregnant women lack iodine, it can not only lead to many fetal abortions, but also premature birth, stillbirth and congenital deformities are all related to iodine deficiency Related, of course, the backward medical level is also a reason that cannot be ignored...

Fang Jun was even thinking, should he give a memorial to His Majesty Li Er, making the whole territory of Datang compulsively sell iodized salt?In this era of universal iodine deficiency, the mandatory implementation of iodized salt will definitely do more good than harm.

To put it seriously, it is a measure that can improve the national physique!

But here comes the question, how is iodine extracted and purified?

How to talk to His Majesty Li Er?

"Your Majesty, the entire population is short of iodine, and we need to make up for it."

"What is iodine?"

"A mineral that is extremely important to the human body."

"How did you know?"

"..."

"It's really important. Improving the physique of the citizens of Datang is here in one fell swoop."

"That's fine, show it to me."

"..."

How could His Majesty Li Er let him mess around with such a major event involving all the people?The point is that he cannot prove the importance of iodine intake to the human body.Don't even think about micro-ingredients or anything, even experimenting is not easy.

The level of technology is too low...

It is possible to sneakily add iodine to the salt produced by the salt fields under his jurisdiction, but any iodization will inevitably lead to an increase in the cost of salt, and those contractors may not be willing.

You said you added iodine, but what is iodine for?Who can prove that you are not the one who wants to poison the entire Tang Dynasty?

The problem is still back to the original point, he can't prove the importance of iodine to the human body...

Drinking in a dull mood, Fang Jun realized that "everyone is drunk and I am sober" is really not a comfortable thing. All beings are boundless and powerless, and that kind of depression is really uncomfortable.

What are the indicators of a strong country?
Strong national defense, prosperous economy, advanced technology, these are all.Of course, it also includes the mental quality and physical quality of the people...

The surroundings suddenly quieted down, Fang Jun looked up in surprise, and saw several people looking at Liu Rengui in surprise.Liu Rengui bowed his head silently, the wine glass in his hand was crushed by him, the shard pierced his palm, and blood dripped down.

"What's the matter?" Fang Jun asked in surprise.

Liu Rengui remained silent, but lowered his head, unable to see his face.

Fang Jun was speechless, this hot guy actually has such a sentimental side?The question is, why does it suddenly look so weird?
Just as he was about to ask, the cook over there had already brought over the mixed kelp in a wooden basin.Picking up a full plate with chopsticks, he handed it to Fang Jun respectfully, and said obsequiously, "Master Hou is indeed a gourmet master. This kind of kelp is boiled and seasoned, it is really delicious in the world!"

The corner of Fang Jun's mouth twitched, and he realized when did the people around him learn to flatter?It's just kelp, do you think it's a sea cucumber?It is delicious in the world, let you eat it for a month, and your head will turn green...

He reached out to pick it up, but was snatched away by Liu Rengui.

Liu Rengui didn't speak for a while, just took the chopsticks and ate the seaweed in big mouthfuls. While eating, tears flowed down into the plate...

Everyone was amazed!

Especially the few partners who are inseparable from him all day long, this is a real tough guy, even if he cuts off his head with a knife, it is impossible to see a trace of depression and half a tear from him!

What's going on here?
Silently eating a large plate of mixed kelp, Liu Rengui wiped away his tears, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You guys are laughing, I just remembered that stupid brother in my family..."

Liu Rengui's ancestral home was from the Wei family in Bianzhou, and his ancestors can be traced back to the royal family of the Han Dynasty, after Liu Da, Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty.Although the great Han Dynasty has long since perished, and the Liu family's royal family has been wiped out even more, the Liu Rengui branch is still considered a rich family in the Wei family of Bianzhou, with a wealthy family.

Liu Rengui, two siblings, had a very good relationship since childhood.His mother is just a concubine of his father, but it is a pity that the aunt treated the two brothers very harshly.Therefore, although they were born in a wealthy family, their childhood life was accompanied by the shadow of harsh treatment. The two brothers supported each other and had a strong relationship.

Originally, the younger brother is lively and has a superb memory. He is highly praised by the tribe and thinks that he must be a promising person in the future.It was a pity that he later suffered from a big neck disease, and the aunt worried that this outstanding concubine would become a hidden danger in competing for the family business in the future, so she delayed seeking medical treatment.

At that time, Liu Rengui was young and had limited experience, so he had no choice but to resist after the resistance was ineffective.In addition, this kind of big neck disease has a high probability of getting sick in the countryside, and it is usually not fatal, so many people ignore it.

Later, my younger brother recovered from his illness, but he became a fool...

If you are stupid, you are stupid. As long as you live a good life, you don't have to worry about those troubles in the world.It is a pity that the sad thing is that when playing in the stream, the younger brother drowned and died...

This has always been an incurable pain in Liu Rengui's heart.

He both blamed himself for his negligence and hated the indifference at home.

This is a lifetime of regret and remorse...

If he had known that this kind of kelp could cure big neck disease, why would his clever younger brother become stupid, and why would he drown in the water?
Regret and remorse are like an invisible big hand, tightly grasping Liu Rengui's heart, making him unable to breathe.

After hearing Shen Sheng's narration, everyone acquiesced, and none of them thought that Liu Rengui, who is as tough as a man, would have such a sensitive and fragile side.

Fang Jun drank his wine silently, making up his mind to promote iodized salt when the opportunity arises.

Do not know how to extract iodine?

Then experiment slowly, and one day it will be extracted. If it doesn't work, then sell kelp all over the world...

Fang Jun took a plate full of kelp from the cook, and shouted to the common people who were waiting to share the fish and meat: "Look well, this thing will be very delicious if it is treated like this!"

Eat up a plate of mixed kelp with big mouthfuls.

Sun Chengen was so moved that tears filled his eyes: "Master Hou, this is what pigs eat..."
