Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 25 Living in Chang'an is not easy
"Congratulations to General Chen for moving to his new home!"

"Congratulations to General Chen for moving to his new home!"

Liang Zan, Chen Huairen, Zhao Yuanqiao, and Li Chuqi moved the belongings that Chen Ying had deposited in Xuji Inn to this house in Changrenfang.Everyone congratulated Chen Ying one after another.

At this time, the original plaque of the Xu Mansion had been replaced by someone sent by Chen Ying, and it was changed to "Chen Mansion!"

Chen Yingdao: "You are wrong!"

"wrong!"

People were puzzled.

Chen Ying laughed and said, "It's not that I'm happy to move to a new house, but our brothers are happy to move to a new house."

Li Chuqi stammered: "Chen...Chen...general, you...you mean...we can live here too?"

"Of course!" Chen Ying said, "There are 47 rooms in this mansion, each of you has one room."

Chen Huairen said, "Why is this so embarrassing?"

"That's not good!" Zhang Huaiwei said: "After all, this is a house bought by General Chen, so what's the matter with us living here!"

"Of course we brothers should stand together in sufferings and hardships, and enjoy blessings together!" Chen Yingdao: "Unless you look down on me!"

"Then respect is worse than obedience!" You Ziying said: "Our concierge is good. I am a light sleeper. If there are any small thieves, they will definitely not escape my ears!"

Liang Zan pointed to a five-room wing next to the tea room and said, "I think this room is not bad, so I will live there."

Before Chen Ying said anything, the servant girl Lan'er said angrily, "Dengtuzi, you're dirty!"

Hongxiu said timidly: "That's my house, I'll move to the backyard right now!"

Liang Zan blushed, and Chen Ying said, "Lan'er, you were in charge of the mansion before, and you are still in charge now. So how much money do you have?"

Aunt He, the cook, said: "It's good to be able to survive these years, how dare you ask for extra money?"

Chen Yingdao: "The emperor does not send soldiers to starve to death, and our Chen family does not order people in vain. How about this, Lan'er is a first-class maid with a monthly allowance of [-] yuan, Hongxiu and Lvzhu are second-class maids with a monthly allowance of [-] yuan. Aunt He in the kitchen is [-] yuan, and rough labor is [-] yuan! Maid, please sort out my brothers!"

"Slaves understand!" Lan'er, who had just been promoted to become a housekeeper, was full of joy, and assigned Zhang Huaiwei, You Ziying and others to the room.

"Aunt He, go and let the kitchen prepare more, let's have extra meals today!"

"Slaves understand!"

After Aunt He and the others left, Lan'er muttered to Chen Ying, tilted her head to look at Chen Ying and said, "How much money is there in Ah Lang's hand?"

Chen Yingdao: "Is there still more than 1000 guan?"

Lan'er snapped her fingers and said: "The servant will do a calculation for A Lang. There are 11 servants in our mansion. The servant, Hongxiu, Lvzhu and Aunt He will cost three hundred yuan for three, plus seven of them, four for two. One hundred renminbi, in our mansion, we have to spend seven pennies and [-] renminbi every month just for routine money. There are three horses in the mansion, plus four horses including Zhang Langjun, You Langjun, and Liang Langjun. Ten catties of forage and ten catties of fine fodder are needed every day. Seven horses need seventy catties of coarse fodder a day, which is equivalent to [-] renminbi and fine material is [-] renminbi. Friends, the horses still need to be fed, so after this, seven guan a month may not be enough."

Lan'er didn't care how ugly Chen Ying's face was, and continued to count with her fingers; "There are eighteen people in the mansion eating now, and they need to consume five shi of food every month, and the money will be converted into money, plus oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, wine and meat. , at least three guans per month... Of course, Alang still has to marry a wife, and the dowry alone costs at least a thousand guans."

Chen Ying immediately broke out in a cold sweat.As expected, living in Chang'an is indeed worthy of being an imperial capital. He actually spends nearly 1000 pennies every month. His more than [-] pennies sounds like a lot, but he really can't stand the expense.

He must find a way to make money as soon as possible, otherwise he will really have to go to his pants.

Do time-travelers make soap?
Although Chen Ying is a science student, his knowledge has already been returned to the teacher. If he is asked to make soap, he will really be blind.

brewing?
Brew perfume?
Invented gunpowder?

……

It seems that everything is very easy. Let Chen Ying say that he can really say one, two, three, but if he is really asked to do it, he really can't do it.

Just when Chen Ying was thinking about it, suddenly Lv Zhu's pleasant voice interrupted his meditation.

"Ah Lang, try the tea made by slaves!" Luzhu held a cup of tea soup with oil flowers floating in it, and handed it to Chen Ying.Chen Ying looked at the shy and charming Luzhu lightly, with an inexplicable excitement on his face.

Although Luzhu and Hongxiu sisters look exactly the same, their personalities are completely different.The older sister, Luzhu, was enthusiastic, talking and laughing.The younger sister, Hongxiu, was as cold as ice, smiling casually.

It seems that Hongxiu should be the elder sister, and Luzhu should be the younger sister.

Chen Ying looked at Luzhu, and then at the statue-like Jingxiu beside him, feeling so beautiful.

Just this pair of sisters, they can definitely become supermodels in later generations, but the two of them served Chen Ying to drink tea with low eyebrows, and the red sleeves stretched out their slender hands, gently massaging Chen Ying's shoulders.

As far as Lvzhu and Hongxiu are concerned, both of their sisters are the sons of Xu Jingzong's family. As early as when Xu Jingzong's father was the Minister of Yu in the Chen Dynasty, their father was Xu Shanxin's personal entourage. Xu Shanxin bought their mother, married their father, and lost the lives of their sisters.

As servants of Xu's family, the sisters have been Xu's servants since they were born.Even if Xu Jingzong gave the truth to Feng Lun from Zhongshushe, the two of them had no room to refuse.If Chen Ying hadn't somehow become the master of the two of them, they might have become Feng Lun's playthings.

Although they are all serving as slaves for others, it is better to follow Chen Ying, a 16-year-old handsome guy, than to follow Feng Lun, who can be their grandfather.

Chen Ying is not a god, so he can't guess what the second daughter is thinking.

Taking a sip of moderately warm tea soup into his mouth, Chen Ying's eyes widened instantly.

"vomit……!"

Chen Ying really didn't expect that the tea soup that Luzhu gave him was simply a bowl of mutton oil soup, which not only had the spicy taste of ginger, but also spices such as salt, star anise, tangerine peel, longan, etc. Sheep oil, not only has the bitter taste of tea, but also is salty and fishy. The most important thing is that it is also smelly. The taste is not to mention how sour and refreshing.

"thump……"

The two girls, Lvzhu and Hongxiu, were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they quickly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die..."

Chen Ying hurriedly rinsed his mouth again and again, only then did he feel that his stomach was no longer so turbulent.

"Is this the tea you brewed?"

Lu Zhu didn't know what was wrong, timidly took the saved tea soup, and slowly drank it into her mouth like poisoned wine.

Lu Zhu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief: "There's no poison in it!"

"It's not poisonous, it's just the smell..."

"The taste is also very good!"

Chen Ying was speechless, he had never drunk tea of ​​this era, in later generations Chen Ying had drunk green tea, black tea, and raw tea, but he had never tasted such a wonderful tea soup.

"Fried tea?" Suddenly Chen Ying had an idea.
