Tang Dynasty good man

Chapter [-] Forget the Year

Ever since the wheat was harvested in hot weather, these incidents continued one after another, and he insisted on guarding a summer resort and couldn't go to it, so he was sweating at home.Seeing that Xie Bao's injury was getting better day by day, she was thinking about going there for a while, but Ying just came back with a large piece of land at this time, planning, building a house, and relocating tenant farmers, and she couldn't leave her. Day by day.

Early in the morning, Yun's family came to visit Xie Bao, and seeing that he was in good health, they asked again to take Xie Bao away.I can't object, Xie Bao has been entangled by the fourth brother recently, and he also shows that he wants to leave. Ying, for the so-called innocence of the fourth child, let him go without saying a word.

Anyway, the letter that should be sent has also been delivered, and all the words that should be said are greeted. Qin Yu's entrustment has been successfully completed. As for where Xie Bao wants to live, it is his freedom, and there is no reason for me to reach out.When I sent him off, I deliberately gave him a bundle of belongings. It looked like ten pennies, enough to eat, drink and have fun for a while.

In this day and age, gift giving depends on the person and status.When interacting with people like Cheng Chu, gifts of one hundred taels of silver pancakes come and go frequently, they are given heartily and received with peace of mind, but this cannot be the case with Xie Bao, it is not being stingy, it is following duty.Xie Bao would not dare to accept it if he was sent off in the same way as the Cheng family, otherwise it would cause misunderstanding and backfire.

Lanling brought good news. The land of Wangjiafeng River was officially designated as a cotton planting experiment base. The imperial court allocated funds and grain on a quarterly basis, and distributed some large animals to the tenants left behind in the village. The farmers were very happy. He picked up the iron rice bowl and ate public meals.

Ying was overjoyed, and entertained Lanling earnestly. A large group of princesses and county lords came. This was the first large-scale banquet of the Wang family in recent years, and it spent enough money and energy.All on my terms.The cooking skills I personally taught in the kitchen, according to my mother’s old routine during the Chinese New Year, used dozens of catties of vegetable oil for croquettes, fried crispy meat, fried twists, and fried hemp leaves, braised chicken, strips of meat, There are a lot of sweet rice, and after eating and drinking, they pack it up and give it away, anyway, it's hot.Even if it is left in the cellar, it will deteriorate. The purpose is to eat up and drink up, and leave no fat or thin.

Because I was a banquet guest, I just showed my face and led the horse to go fishing by the moat, and I didn't go home until evening.The guests were all gone, and Yingzheng was sitting in the main hall, smiling happily, discussing matters with the housekeeper, "How is today? Are all the guests satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Ying got up and saluted me.Pulled me to sit down, "Let's not talk about being a guest, even the concubine didn't eat so many tricks, it's the first time I've seen many things."

"Yes, yes. What Madam said is true. Such practices are unheard of, let alone the young master's ability, old man, I have lived a dog's life at my age." Steward Qian probably did not eat less today.The belly is round and round, and the long gown is tight. "A total of 41 copies were sent out in the afternoon. There is still less preparation, and the guests will lose their temper when it comes to the end."

"Hehe..." As you can imagine, unlike the male guests, the boss and a group of women huddled together, chirping.Like a flock of wild ducks by the river, fighting and clamoring, it was a big scene. "Then make some more and send them away, so that people can enjoy themselves."

"Exactly." Ying nodded with a smile, and clapped her hands in satisfaction, "Even if you don't give it away, you have to make something, which is much more delicious than the usual home food. I wronged Mr. Hu, and the second daughter and the fourth child came back late. I just ate some sweet and sour meatballs (sweet and sour meatballs) and a few bowls of fatty meat (tiaozirou). The other chicken and sweet rice were all gone.”

"Ma'am, don't say that. I ate two plates of sweet and sour meatballs in one breath, and I'm satisfied." Mr. Hu stood up, cupped his hands, pointed at Butler Qian's big belly and said with a smile, "If you come back late on weekdays, When eating, first look at Brother Qian’s belly. If it’s bulging, the family must have good food, and after you’ve made up your mind to be unwilling; if it’s flat, then don’t say anything, just go to the village entrance and weigh the pig’s head meat to go with the wine.”

Haha... Steward Qian didn't care about the image of what Accountant Hu said, and laughed heartily, "Brother Hu made fun of it. Thanks to the blessing of the young master and wife, when the days are good, people's mouths will become tricky. If you want to say This non-stainy food, why can’t I enjoy eating it, it’s all taken care of by Mrs. Hou Ye, and after getting used to the old man’s problem, even my mother-in-law said that she can’t afford to serve the old man anymore, hehe..."

"Just now, there are shrimps in the moat today. After fishing for this day, there are not many fish, all of them are dried shrimps." Today, there are female guests in the house, and they are not too prepared to go out in a hurry. They grabbed a few pig bones and used them to make fish nests. One day, I caught a prawn and came back. "Put them all on the window sill, and let the kitchen boil water to pass in it for a while. This thing is the best wine soaked in vinegar."

After hearing what I said, Ying apologized in embarrassment, and ran to make dinner for me.

Since I was the only one left to eat, I enjoyed myself in the back house, a big plate of shrimp, a plate of vinegar sauce sprinkled with minced ginger, a pot of old wine, sitting in the patio, leisurely.

As soon as Xie Bao left, the fourth child stopped playing, and spent all day with the second daughter in the back house, laughing and joking, without any sign of being broken in love.It seems that Ying has lost sight, the fourth child only regards Xie Bao as an object to relieve boredom.At least not from the appearance.Seeing that I was eating and drinking freely, I came to strike up a conversation: "Brother-in-law, where is my sister?"

"Oh, while it's still dark, go to Zhuangzi to have a look. The foundation is being filled in the back." I peeled off the shrimp shells, dipped them in the seasoning, "Do you want one?"

The fourth child heard that Ying couldn't come back for a while, so he got excited, and shouted to the second daughter who trained Dalai outside the door, caught a shrimp and ate it like me.

The second daughter came to see the fourth child eating my meal, her little face stretched so long, she washed her hands indiscriminately, and hurriedly came up to peel the shrimps, and kept saving them into my bowl.The fourth child was not as fast as the second daughter, and was eating away. He gave the second daughter a look, and muttered: "I asked you to come and eat, so you can help me bully me."

The second daughter giggled, wiped her hands, and ran away.

"Tomorrow I'll go fishing again. It's not easy to eat prawns, they're all over the river." Pushing the bowl of prawns to the fourth child: "You eat all of it, I'm full."

The fourth child was never polite at home, she stuffed the bowl as soon as she brought it, and her mouth full of food couldn't stop her from talking: "Brother-in-law, everyone is your age, they either sharpened their heads and went to the imperial court or killed the enemy and captured the flag." You have such a good background, you want status and status. You want people and land to be complete, and you can be a high-ranking official at your fingertips. Isn’t it a waste of time to just go fishing?”

"It's easy to think about being an official. Your brother-in-law doesn't have that ability." The little girl imitated the adults and preached, which was interesting. "Such a big family can't take care of it. Being an officer and leading the army is a waste of time and no effort."

"That's what you said, I'm not blind. I don't care if I'm capable or not, I have to tell outsiders." The fourth child took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, "It's true by looking at it, this time it's not yours to beat Korea Are you planning? Even my sister has ordered that she won't have to kneel when she sees the emperor in the future. Brother-in-law, have you seen the emperor yet?"

"No, the emperor is so easy to see?" I laughed dumbfounded, this girl's way of thinking is different from ordinary people. "Your Majesty is the only one. If someone like me is caught in the capital, they will drive away the Mian Sheng, and you won't be able to annoy the Emperor to death."

"The emperor doesn't see you. That's his fault. It's a big mistake to let such a person go." The fourth child was dissatisfied, and said decisively: "In the toilet water workshop. Isn't it better?"

"Hehe, talking crazy," I appreciate the management methods of the fourth place, but they are not comparable to other senior leaders. "If the prawns taste delicious, I'll go catch some more tomorrow. Oh, by the way, remember the Tubo businessman last time? He will inform me next time he comes to treat me well." The country is still for money, and he will be used more in the future.

"Well, don't worry." The fourth child went back to the room and brought out a few bottles, "Brother-in-law, you are an expert. The new toilet water. Give me an explanation."

I pushed the bottle aside, "Don't look at it. I'll leave it to you and the second daughter, and I won't interfere. Whether it's good or bad, you two can decide, so don't ask me." My ability to appreciate perfume is surprisingly poor, so I'm not qualified evaluate.

"Hey, brother-in-law listens to what he says, much better than the second daughter. She guards me against thieves every day, just in case I stole your secret recipe. Last time, she entered the house where she dispensed medicine and scolded me face to face. It’s hard to wait.” The fourth child put the bottle away with a smile, “The second daughter hides from me when she comes home these days, deliberately doesn’t talk to me, and wants to make me boring, so why don’t you go home early? "

"She's busy training the maidservants in Korea. She's not just trying to avoid people. She's a person who doesn't talk much." The fourth child looked thick and nervous, but she was a thin-haired person. The second daughter's intentions were seen through, so I had to cover it up. "After a busy day in the workshop, there are times when she is too tired to talk, and she does the same when you are not here."

"Brother-in-law, you're covering your own shortcomings by saying this. Anyway, your family has this temper, and you never say that your family is wrong." The fourth child chuckled, "I planned to go back to live for two days, but I didn't go. I can't take advantage of it." The meaning of the second daughter."

"That's, that's, how long you want to stay depends on what you want, I have no problem." This is still a hob meat, not easy to serve, "I will go fishing for you tomorrow, and I will go back to the house to prepare the fishing gear, you Play with the second daughter first, and play well." If she is a man, I might have to praise her, but if she has a temper like this, she must stay away.

Lanling will invite Ying and the ladies back in Xiyuan the day after tomorrow, and he has asked for leave, so he has to arrange it in person.I am happy to be free for a few days, and it is a pleasant thing to go fishing alone.All the fishing gear is made by myself. Making fishing gear is as fun as fishing.

There is no need to dig earthworms for fishing bait. The maggots raised at home are more effective than earthworms. Put them in a wooden box, sprinkle a handful of flour on them, and they are clean and non-sticky.I got up before dawn in the morning. I went to the ground late yesterday. Several good spots were occupied by fishing enthusiasts. The moat has a water inlet connected to the outer canal. Today I must seize that treasure. Yesterday, an old man spent a whole day fishing. A few big fish weighing four catties were attached together, which made me jealous.

Great, no one in Fengshui Treasure Land, I moved a few broken bricks to build a place to sit, and took advantage of the early morning to catch up on fishing. The weather is hot, and the fish are not too much after the afternoon.

"Oh, the harvest is not small." The old man came yesterday and picked up the fish betel in my water, which contained about a dozen large and small trophies. You can’t catch it in the water, it’s too slippery.”

"Hehe, the old man praised you. Try your luck, swipe and swipe, take the risk." The old man has kind eyes and kind eyes, and speaks in a soft tone, which makes people feel comfortable after hearing it.This old man is a rich man. Although he is dressed plainly, his fishing gear is definitely top-grade. The shiny red and straight poles make me jealous.Even fishing nests are soaked in wine and good millet on the ground, and sprinkled into a big bowl, not to lure fish.It is to feed the fish.Only people who occupy a place for fishing for a long time spend this capital, and it is a waste of behavior in this era. "Uncle took this place, and the boy will find another place." Fishermen, regardless of age, are friendly when they meet whether they recognize it or not. They are so old and have been fishing for a long time.I have no reason to have the cheek to occupy this place and snatch the fruits of victory.

"No, I'll stand by your side to fish. There are plenty of fish. I can catch them." The old man went up to the river bank and took two big green bricks in each hand to use as a bench. I was dumbfounded.I try my best to find small broken bricks from the city wall. If I carry a whole piece down the river bank, it will tire me out. If I carry a piece with my arm, I will die.

The strength is great, and the legs and feet are neat, but this old man is a stick when fishing.No wonder I watched him catch big fish from afar yesterday.Today I said that crucian carp is cunning, and the hook he used was too big. The largest crucian carp was only half a catty, and it was difficult to bite the hook even if it had a small mouth and a small body.Good fishing gear is good.It would be ruined for him to use it, because people pay attention to wrist skills when pulling the pole. The moment the float sinks, the wrist will shake slightly up and down by an inch or two.Elegant and unrestrained, he has the demeanor of fighting without bloodshed; when he arrives, he directly uses his dantian strength. When he pulls the rod, he lunges, pushes his waist, and competes with his arms round and round. The fishing rod and fishing line make a scream The sound flew into the air, as if the fishing rod in his hand had been replaced with a ghost knife.A living and living executioner.The hateful thing is that he occasionally shouted loudly when he exerted his strength, which made me nervous, afraid that the fishing rods and hooks flying all over the sky would be pulled to me, it would be too dangerous.

"Hey! Another empty rod, the fish is getting more and more slippery." The old man pulled an empty rod full of hope, shook his head dissatisfied, turned around and dug a large bowl of millet and sprinkled it into the water. "It's strange. We are in the same place, why do you take one after another? Did you use good bait?" Said, squatting down to look through my small box of maggots.

"Uncle. Now is the time for the fish to eat. It doesn't matter if the bait is good or bad." With a flick of my wrist, there was another one. The old man looked enviously. "It's all thanks to your blessing, so much millet is brought in every day, and the fish here have developed the habit of coming here to eat nearby every day."

"Then why don't you eat my hook? The old man will try yours." He took out a few maggots and put them on the hook, and waited in a murderous posture.After a while, the sound of piercing the sky came again, "Oh, your bait is still good, and only one will go down." A poor crucian carp was picked up by the old man. It was pulled up by force, miserable!

"Uncle, there is something wrong with your fishhook." I was shocked when I saw it. If I was caught by his big fishhook, I would either die or be injured. "Come, try me instead." It was fine last night. A few fishhooks were carefully crafted underneath, and a suitable one was picked and handed over.

"Well, no wonder, you're the one who looks at the fine hair," the old man happily took the fishhook, tied his hands and feet, but failed to get them together after a few times, and the fishhook fell into the river. he.No way, I found another one and tied it to the fishing line for him.For the sake of safety, I deliberately demonstrated the standard action of pulling down the lever a few times. The old man learned it very quickly, and he looked good after just a few strokes.

"Haha, yes, you have to learn everything you want to say." The old man pulled a few up in succession, smiling happily, "Thanks to you, the crucian carp dropped in four days is not as many as this."

Four days, no wonder.Anyone who can say that is a novice, it seems that he is just getting started. "Hehe, Uncle, I'm so proud of you. It's just to learn from each other. As far as your fishing momentum is concerned, it's not something ordinary people can have. The action of pulling the rod alone is earth-shattering."

"Hehe, I can hear it, you boy made a detour to arrange the old man. Haha..." The old man smiled heartily, sat down on the green brick, grabbed the weeds to wipe his hands, and pulled a food box from the delicate leather bag Come out, "I ran here early in the morning and didn't have breakfast. You also come together, and bring a lot of land."

I also didn't eat in the morning, the old man was refreshing, so I didn't refuse.He wiped his hands carelessly, and sat across from the old man. Without chopsticks, he ate with his hands.All fishing enthusiasts are like this. As long as they are having fun, the unhygienic ones have long been forgotten.The old man's meal is not bad. I twisted a ball and put it in my mouth. It was delicious. Another piece of fried chicken was not bad.The chicken is fried to a level, and it is fried with batter mixed with eggs. It is crispy and fragrant. It is more delicious if it is just out of the pan.There are still a few twists, I took one by hand, looked at it carefully, it was familiar, I have seen it before.If you guessed correctly...it was written by Chen Laosi, who is a master at twisting twists. It is fun to watch me twist twists, so I have to join in the fun. I taught all afternoon, but she couldn't get it together. Like a crooked tree struck by lightning.

"Is it delicious?" The old man was happy to eat, and the mahua gnawed loudly. "If you say you are a lucky person, this is the first time this old man has eaten it. It tastes good."

"Oh, it's really delicious." It's so happy to be invited by others to eat their own food after traveling so far. This old man must be the elder of a female guest invited by Ying yesterday. Do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat it often, haha." The old man took out a wine gourd, took a sip, and clicked his tongue, "It's all from someone else's house. If you want to say, the person who delivered the food box is a capable person, probably about the same age as you It's about the same age, and it's a genius. The old man intends to visit, hehe, it's a pity."

"It's a pity?" The old man was talking about me. His words sounded strange, and he didn't know why I was a pity. "What do you say?"

"What else are you talking about? He's not on the same side as him. Eat quickly, it's good for fishing." The old man shook his head with a disappointed expression.
