Chapter 246 Three Big Bowls for One Meal

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "The county marquis is brilliant, and I'm just getting a glimpse of the door. The county marquis has won the prize."

"You're too humble."

"Don't dare."

Li Yifu glanced at Xu Jingzong, but he didn't expect that this guy would dare to rush to speak.

Xu Jingzong snatched away his chance to flatter him.

Li Zheng patted Li Yifu's shoulder and said: "If you have time, ask Lao Duo for advice and see how he behaves."

"What the county marquis said is that I must learn from Lao Xu."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he walked away to observe the situation of road construction.

Li Yifu raised his head and said to Xu Jingzong: "I followed the Jingyang County Marquis when the County Marquis hadn't made a fortune. The County Marquis has a weird temper. You have to be careful how you deal with it."

"Really?" Xu Jingzong said in a low voice, "I also ask Brother Li for advice."

Clearing his throat, Li Yifu said to Xu Jingzong: "Actually, you have offended the county lord just now, and you are so self-aware."

Xu Jingzong's expression was awe-inspiring, "Thank you, Brother Li, for letting me know."

Li Yifu said with a smile: "Don't think that the county lord is approachable, in fact, those who offend the county lord will have no good end. You must be careful when you speak, and don't pretend to be smart."

Xu Jingzong nodded again and again, "Brother Li taught you well."

Li Yifu nodded in satisfaction.

The roadbed is still being laid, but fortunately it has not rained these days.

When building roads, there should be no clear water on the ground, and the water on the ground must be cleaned up.

If there are relatively wet places, soil filling should also be replaced.

Some of them are villagers who worked when Jingyang built the road for the first time.

They have more or less experience.

Li Zheng watched the foundation laying.

A huge stone mill is used to compact and flatten the road.

A solid subgrade determines the life of a road.

The villagers felt that the requirements for road construction were too high, and the road had to be compacted and filled with soil.

The old village head said to Li Zheng: "Zhenger, save as much as you can. The money you spend on this day's work will not be enough for the people in our village to earn in a lifetime."

Li Zheng said to the old village head: "Grandpa, the village head, don't worry, I can earn the money back."

The old village chief's expression was still a little worried, "The uncles and aunts in the village are all in a panic, and they are afraid that the money will be wasted."

"The village chief can rest assured that the money is not wasted."

The old village chief nodded and patted Li Zheng on the shoulder, "That's right, the uncles and aunts in the village have never read books, and they don't have much vision. From now on, the children in our village will all be able to read and write. read."

Suddenly, I felt that the old village head was quite open-minded and knew the importance of reading.

In this era when it is not easy to have enough food, reading is a very luxurious thing.

You have to do your best even to eat enough, and who would think about reading and literacy.

Li Zheng said: "Grandpa the village chief, I recently found a teacher for our village academy."

The old village chief smiled and said, "It's just that you are not in a hurry to find a wife."

"I'm still young." Li Zheng touched his nose in embarrassment.

The old village chief said again: "Zheng'er, everyone in the village knows that you are promising, but you should leave a queen for your family anyway, do you understand?"

"I know, I know." Li Zheng nodded vigorously.

"If something happens to you one day, the whole village can also have a concern, and leave it behind as soon as possible."

"The old village head is right, it's a remote place to enter."

Seeing Li Zheng's serious face, the old village head said, "Old man, let me go and see how the fields in the village are doing?"

Sometimes it makes sense to think about what the old village chief said.

If it was in the period of war and chaos, these words were simply a philosophy of life.

But now is the Taiping period, Li Shimin will not chop himself up now.

This road connecting Jingyang and Chang'an must be better than the official road.

Only in this way can we be competitive, the road is at our feet, and all business cannot get around the condition of transportation.

Especially in this day and age, transportation is one of the important factors of the economy.

Whether it is in troubled times or in peacetime, who has mastered the transportation line.

Whoever gets the first bite of crab.

Before Li Shimin realized the importance of the transportation line.

Make sure to use the shipping line to make a fortune.

Back at his home, Li Zheng picked a basket of peppers from the field.

After a winter of greenhouse cultivation, two months have passed, and the growth of peppers is very gratifying.

Back in his room, Li Zheng started to be a self-made old godmother.

Chilli, sesame, tempeh, ginger, garlic...

Daniel helped.

Heat the lard in a pot, sauté the chili, sesame, and garlic until fragrant.

Until the chili comes out of red oil.

I used a small horn pepper.

The biggest feature of this kind of pepper is its fragrance.

Although the quality is not good, it is mainly due to the relationship between Chang'an's soil and greenhouse cultivation.

The spiciness is not particularly spicy, but barely enough.

Put the fried chili oil into a pottery bowl, Da Niu dipped some of it with his chopsticks, and tasted it in his mouth, "Teacher, it's very fragrant."

Li Zheng also took a sip, and the spiciness was a bit bland, the fire was not high enough, the oil temperature was not high enough, and the chili was put in too little.

The second time I tried to make it, Li Zheng and Daniu were so busy in the kitchen that they were sweating.

This time, it was finally made decent, with a slightly spicy taste, and the spiciness was just right.

"It's a pity that there is no beef now. It would be better if some beef cubes were added." Li Zheng said with emotion.

Daniel whispered: "Teacher, the students heard from those generals that the cattle of General Cheng Yaojin's family often broke their legs."

Li Zheng thought about it for a while, but gave up the idea of ​​adding beef cubes.

Now there is a strict order in the court that cattle cannot be slaughtered casually.

Many counties do not even have a cow, and sometimes they need cattle to plow the land, or even borrow cattle from other counties.

Even if a cow broke its leg, it still needs to be reported to the government. The government will only agree to kill the cow after knowing that the cow cannot be plowed.

As for why Cheng Yaojin's cow broke his leg...

Da Niu asked in a low voice: "Teacher, why do you think that General Cheng Yaojin's cattle often break their legs?"

"Maybe it's because of his old Cheng's family's bad feng shui." Li Zheng nodded after thinking about it, but he didn't know why his old Cheng's cattle often broke their legs.

While talking about Cheng Yaojin's family, Cheng Chumo and Li Tai came rushing for dinner.

Very rude to sit at home, as if waiting for their own food.

They cooked a bowl of mutton soup casually, fried a pot of vegetables, and several people sat together to eat.

Daniu and Duhu are more sensible, eating with bowls and sitting at the other table, they are more gentle.

But Cheng Chumo and Li Tai were much wilder.

These two people directly used chili oil to mix rice and ate it like this.

He also ate three big bowls, and there was not much millet left. He thought there would be some left over to feed the chickens, but now it seems that there will be no leftovers.
