The heavy snow in Tokyo took three days to slowly stop. Fortunately, the first day was very heavy, and the snowflakes became much smaller in the next two days. However, even so, when the snow stopped, the snow on the road could bury people, and many people's doors were blocked by snow. They had to find shovels to shovel the snow when they went out.

During the three days of snow, Cao Ying was very busy. Because the snow was too heavy, if the snow on the roof was not cleaned in time, it would probably collapse the roof. Therefore, Cao Ying had to take time out of time to command the servants to push the snow down on the roof. In addition, Zhao Yan was not idle either. He took Lin Hu and a group of strong guards to Shangshuizhuang to help the villagers clean the snow on the roof. After all, their house was even less solid. If it collapsed, it would be a death. Even Likong would go with him to help.

That morning, Zhao Yan saw that the snow outside finally stopped, and he was relieved. Although he liked snow, it was not a good thing to be too heavy. Especially now that the door was blocked by the way, it can be called a snow disaster. It seems that the Song Dynasty this year is really full of disasters. In summer, coupled with the snow disaster in winter, it is estimated that Zhao Shu in the palace, Han Qi in the Political Affairs Hall and others must have a headache again.

However, Zhao Yan couldn't control the affairs in the court. He just needed to take care of his own acre of three-point land. After getting up in the morning, he still came to the garden and practiced Tai Chi. The snow in the other yard had long been swept out by the people. Two snow mountains were piled by the Qingshui River, and Zhao Yan could see them even when he stood in the yard.

As soon as Zhao Yan started his Tai Chi, he heard the sound of someone running outside. Then his weight-lossing cousin Zhao Yingning also ran in from outside. Seeing Zhao Yan say hello to him, and then ran along the garden. Since she was stimulated last time, she has become more self-conscious and doesn't need Zhao Yan to urge him every day.

Looking at Zhao Yingning's back running over, Zhao Yan nodded with satisfaction. Compared to when she first came, Zhao Yingning had lost more than 40 pounds. Now she looks like she has lost several laps, and of course she is still fatter than ordinary people, but at least she no longer looks like the previous meat mountain. It is estimated that by the spring of the next year, her body shape should be able to return to a normal person, and even if she is fat, it will not be too conspicuous.

Zhao Yan practiced Tai Chi for a while and saw that Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang were also here, and then followed Zhao Yan to practice Tai Chi. However, they didn't like this slow fitness method, and Princess Bao'an's illness was not completely cured, so they could only lie in bed now, so they were both a little listless.

After morning exercise, she had breakfast, and then Zhao Yan and the others went to visit Princess Bao'an again. That day, Lekong made a bowl of medicinal porridge for Princess Bao'an. As a result, she slept very sweetly after drinking it. After waking up the next day, although her body was still heavy and weak, her stomach felt very comfortable. In the next few days, she had to take the special medicinal food made by She Kong himself once every night, and the methods were also varied. What's more amazing is that her condition is gradually improving. Although the speed is a little slow, it is originally "the disease comes like a mountain, and the disease goes like a thread to draw", so this is also normal.

After visiting Princess Bao'an, Zhao Yan was about to go to the front yard to chat. In addition, if Xue Ning'er had time, she could also help her draw a picture. She has been busy cleaning up the snow these days, and Princess Bao'an is sick. She has no time or the mood to help her paint a portrait.

However, just as Zhao Yan walked to the front yard, he saw the butler Lao Fu carrying a shovel and preparing to go out with a group of servants who also held tools. This made him a little curious. He immediately called them and said, "Lao Fu, what are you doing? Isn't the snow around the other yard almost as cleared as the Shangshui Village?"

Hearing Zhao Yan's question, Lao Fu immediately bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, although the snow in our villa and the village has been cleaned up, the road from the villa to the old Caomen in the capital is still covered with heavy snow. Usually, the people in our village have to go to the city by taking this road, and the tenants in Shangshui Village also have to go to the city to sell cabbage through this road. So Lao Nu has notified Wang Qi and asked him to take his people and the servants in the villa to clear the road. Not only can we walk by ourselves, but we can also facilitate others."

This is called quality! Zhao Yan exclaimed in his heart. It was not only their way to go from the old Cao Gate to him. The surrounding villages and people entering and leaving the city gate also had to take this path. However, these people were relatively loose and unable to organize, so Zhao Yan's county prince's mansion was more powerful, so Lao Fu had no choice but to take the responsibility of making passageways. This may be the ancient version of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility".

"Okay, cleaning up is also a benefit for everyone, but you can't let everyone work in vain. Lao Fu, go buy two pigs, give each person who works some pork, the remaining pork bones, and the pigs are put into water to make soup. In addition, let the kitchen steam some white flour steamed buns, which are not limited to the people who work. After all, only when you are full can you have the energy to work!" Zhao Yan ordered generously. He could not pay for this kind of obligation and credit, otherwise he would be inferior. However, it is still okay to give some pork to improve his diet.

"I understand!" Lao Fu immediately agreed. Now the royal family is not short of money, and the two pigs are not worth much, so Lao Fu is very generous now. When the servants heard that there was a pork, they all thanked them.

After seeing off the snow-sweeping team, Zhao Yan came to Kong's yard. It happened that Yekong was also reading a book at this time. After seeing Zhao Yan, he was very happy to invite him in. Although Lekong had been living in Zhao Yan for nearly three days, the two had not had a good conversation.

"Prince, after these days of recuperation, the princess's condition has improved a lot. It is estimated that she will be able to walk around in a few days." As soon as Zhao Yan sat down, Lekong immediately smiled and said.

Zhao Yan immediately thanked him when he heard this: "This time it's thanks to Kong you to help you, otherwise the second sister would be in danger. However, although the condition has passed this time, I need to carefully take care of my second sister's body, especially my second sister's internal organs are very fragile, and I will trouble Kong you at that time!"

"Haha, the prince doesn't have to be polite. It is also the honor of the little monk to be able to cure the princess' illness!" Lekong said very politely, and then he thought of something, and said with a smile, "In addition, the food in the prince's mansion also opened the eyes of the little monk, and he was even a little happy. Maybe after curing the princess' illness, the little monk might have to gain weight a few times."

Lekong's words are not a compliment. Zhao Yan taught some of the food in the later generations to the chef in the kitchen. Lekong was an important guest, so his food was also provided by the inner kitchen. As a result, Lekong was also impressed by the novel foods in the Prince's Mansion these days. Although the cooking methods of some dishes were insufficient, each dish was very novel. Even every afternoon, he asked the chef who cooked the dishes by making medicinal food for Princess Bao'an, and he benefited a lot. What he didn't expect was that those novel dishes were actually made by Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan was also very happy to hear Kong praise the dishes in his house. He was also a foodie in his previous life. Now that he can meet Kong like him, he naturally appreciates each other. When two foodies meet, the topic of discussion cannot be separated from the word "food". Anyway, they are flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground. Almost all of them are listed in the recipes by the two of them, and various cooking methods are also discussed by the two of them.

The two were chatting about food, and finally, somehow they talked about seaweed again. At that time, Li Kong bowed to Zhao Yan and said, "The little monk has not yet come to thank the prince for the seaweed. Thanks to the prince, you helped the monk promote seaweed. Now the seaweed in Tokyo is in short supply. Some time ago, news came from Quanzhou that the villages I had temporarily lived in had a few full meals with seaweed."

Speaking of seaweed, Zhao Yan thought of the MSG extracted from seaweed by Likong, and said with a smile: "Seaweed is beneficial to the country and the people. As the prince of the Song Dynasty, I naturally have no choice but to do it, but the method of extracting MSG last time was really not very good. If it were me, I would never do that!"

"Feature...MSG? What is MSG?" Lekong was stunned when he heard this strange name.

Zhao Yan slapped her head when she heard this and explained: "Last time, didn't you extract a very small amount of seasoning with seaweed? Just a little bit of that thing can make the food taste very delicious, so I named it MSG. Seaweed contains MSG ingredients, but unfortunately the content is too small. I believe you have a deep understanding of this!"

"So that's it, MSG, the essence of taste, is a very appropriate name!" Lekong also said to himself when he heard this, but then he asked in confusion, "Prince, seaweed contains MSG, I already know this, but some ingredients can also make a very delicious taste. Do these ingredients also contain MSG?"

"Hahaha~, not bad, you are so smart. Not only do seaweed contain a small amount of MSG in the food, but some mushrooms, soy sauce, and chicken also contain MSG. There is even a seaweed called kelp in Japan and Goryeo, which also contains MSG like seaweed. Moreover, this kelp has a very high yield and tastes good. If it can be introduced to let fishermen breed on the beach, it will be a good way of wealth." Zhao Yan said with a smile after hearing this.

"The prince is knowledgeable, the little monk is convinced!" Lekong didn't expect that Zhao Yan knew MSG so well, and he didn't expect that there was a kind of kelp in the sea that contained MSG like seaweed. Although Japan and Goryeo were a little far apart, it was not difficult to introduce kelp over. It seemed that he could have a lot of time in the future.
