Chapter 406 Apple, Fried Melon Seeds
Sima and Chang Shi received orders to go to the north to serve as governors.The expressions of the two are a bit complicated, they don't know whether they are worried or happy.

Mrs. Li beamed with joy: "My husband has long been able to be the governor."

Li Weizhi glanced at her: "Are you familiar with the North? Are you used to living there?"

Mrs. Li was stunned: "Is there anything you're not used to living in? So many things in Chunzhou have been sold to the north, is there anything you can't buy if you have money?"

Li Weizhi frowned: "The Li family has been operating in Chunzhou for so many years, but they are unfamiliar with the place in the north."

"Which governor didn't go to an unfamiliar place? Chen Fan has gone to so many places as a woman. We can still manage our power in the north."

Mrs. Li asked him: "Can I stay in Chunzhou? I am old, and I am afraid that I will not be used to going out in winter. The Li family and clan are all here. I can burn my old bones here for your father." Point the paper and burn the incense sticks."

Li Weizhi looked sad: "Mother has worked so hard for so many years, and my son has gone to other places, so I can't be filial to my knees."

"How many younger brothers do you have? They are all mother's sons. How can you not be filial to mother?"

Li Weizhi nodded: "After my son leaves, mother must restrain the members of the clan and not do anything illegal or criminal."

Mrs. Li's complexion changed: "When I think of that incident, I hate it so much, that Chen Fan is really nothing."

Li Weizhi glared at her: "Bringing that matter up again? It's just that a distant relative from your natal family who didn't know how many thousand miles away dared to bully others and do such criminal things."

"So what? If you arrest him, you won't give face to my family, or to the master." Mrs. Li roared.

"My face?" Li Wei smiled angrily, "A distant relative who can barely be regarded as threatening me with face?"

He has always clearly remembered that Chen Fan drew a picture and spread it out in front of him, saying to him: "Look at the relationship between this person and you, the detour is more complicated than the road in Langshan. How dare your distant relatives threaten you with face? How can you make great achievements when you are stumbled by such a person?"

Li Weizhi ran to drink with Ren Jiayang.Ren Jiayang glanced at the crowd on the street and said, "Maybe I'm old, but I don't even have the joy of being promoted. That's the governor of a state, what a glorious thing."

Li Weizhi took a sip of wine: "Me too, I feel tired when I see that woman can't wait to leave. She brought up that matter again today, gnashing her teeth at Master Chen. I just thought, I'll go What should I do if I go to that place, encounter that kind of thing, even the melon field scene?"

"That's right, three years ago when we were asked to serve as governors, we must have been full of pride and respected our ancestors. But now I feel that our political achievements must be far inferior to Mr. Chen, and we are not as strong as Mr. Chen in dealing with local forces. We have no strength at all. Ren Jiayang sighed.

The two drank the stuffed wine one mouthful at a time.

When he was slightly drunk, Li Weizhi suddenly felt as if he had been beaten with chicken blood: "How can you talk about frustration when you hang out with Mr. Chen? Come on, have a drink, it's okay for us to overtake the next state."

"Dry!"

Chen Fan nominated two officials to serve as Sima and Chief respectively, and asked the county magistrates to report on their duties, gave them all excellent grades, and sent the reports to the Ministry of Officials together.

They also wrote two reports, and Chen Fan asked to resign from his official position and go to Yuanshuo County to farm.Zhang Ci said that he wanted to go to Yuanshuo County to set up an academy to teach.

Xiang Jian came to report on the mining area, saying that all the personnel were safe, and those who were injured were not serious, and they were treated in time.

"Are there any disabled?" Chen Fan asked directly.

"No. Those in the Liu family are like soldiers. They do what they say they do, and they don't do what they shouldn't. The hard hats ordered by Madam also protect them well."

Chen Fan nodded: "Are they celebrating the New Year in the mountains?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan asked Steward Feng to prepare a box of copper coins, a batch of cloth and some golden beans, and asked Xiang Jian to send them to the mining area.

Chen Fan looked at Zhang Ci: "Are you sure everything is safe?"

Zhang Ci comforted her: "We will not do the thing that abuses the miners, and we will do a good job in medical treatment and subsidies."

Cang Yun brought people to Chunzhou.

Zhang Ci was very surprised: "Uncle Yun also made a trip in person?"

Cang Yun said: "My lord let me come and see you, and bring some apples and sunflower seeds along the way."

Chen Fan was both surprised and delighted: "Can you eat the apple?"

Zhaoyun and Muyu washed some apples and brought them over. Chen Fan picked up an apple and peeled it.

Cang Yun was very surprised: "It can still be peeled like this."

Chen Fan distributed the peeled ones to his four sons, and cut the unpeeled ones into pieces for the adults to eat.

"Can't children eat skin?" Cang Yun asked.

Chen Fan said: "I am afraid that children may not be used to it, and adults may not be used to it. The peel and pulp are very nutritious."

Cang Yun ate the apples and said, "Many people eat apples in the north. This year, some good ones were selected and shipped to the capital. But melon seeds are a bit troublesome to eat."

Chen Fan smiled: "I'll fry some melon seeds for you to try."

There is iron sand in Fuchu, which is mixed with melon seeds and fried.Chen Fan fried the original flavor, a five-flavored one, and also fried peanuts and chestnuts.

Cang Yun said with a smile, "It's better to make sugar-fried chestnuts made by Madam."

Peanuts and melon seeds are ready to eat after cooling down.Chen Fan ate a few melon seeds and asked everyone, "Did you see it?"

Everyone tried it, and there were various states, laughing at each other.

Chen Fan demonstrated again in detail.Everyone is getting more and more proficient at drinking.

"This melon seed seems to be addictive. I want to drink another one after eating one." Madam Xu said.

Chen Fan said with a smile: "It's like this. There are people who eat for hours. Everyone is eating melon seeds while chatting. It's very lively."

Cang Yun: "There are a lot of melon seeds in the capital. Take someone to fry them, just in time for the Chinese New Year. Whose business is this business?"

Zhang Ci did not hesitate to think: "The Feng family will do it, there is no need to hide it. The Chen family will avoid it for the time being. Our business of frying nuts has been popular for many years."

The people brought by Cang Yun practiced for a few days and became very proficient, so they followed Cang Yun to the capital.

There are a lot of melon seeds left for practicing hands.Chen Fan held a banquet, took the female family members to eat melon seeds, and gave some to each family.

There are many people in the apple business in Beijing, and the prices vary from high to low.Feng's and Chen's apples are prepared to be eaten by themselves, and some will be given to relatives and friends.

The big iron pot for frying melon seeds was set up, and the frying was in full swing, and people gathered around to watch it all day long.The atmosphere of the New Year is heated up.

Twenty Wen a catty, many people can afford it.Guys demonstrated cracking melon seeds on the street, and pedestrians cracked melon seeds on the street, and those who knew how to crack them led others to crack them. The scene was very lively.

After drinking for a while, the guys will remind you: "Don't be greedy for delicious food, you will get angry if you drink too much."

Everyone didn't care about it for a while, they just cared about having fun.In a few days, some people's lips were broken or blistered.
