Chinese dining table

Chapter 125

"General!"

"Haha, I can fly."

"General again!"

"You can't do anything if I set up the taxi? Naha, you should move your car. You haven't left your nest yet."

"I don't care, I'll kill your soldiers with cannons."

"See clearly, if you replace my taxi with a cannon, you won't have any cannon to use."

The old monkey now has a new game, which is to play chess with Naha, and he can win every time.

In fact, Yunchu felt that anyone who knew the rules of chess would be able to play Naha, but after playing several games with Naha, it would be boring, only the old monkey was different.

This old guy is playing chess with Naha with the perseverance that seems like a god, and he never tires of it.

Yunchu knew why Naha was so obsessed with chess. It was entirely because as long as she was willing to play chess, she could save a lot of big characters. Therefore, she would rather play chess to kill time than go into the study to practice calligraphy.

Even if she loses the chess game and will be pinched by the opponent, she chooses to play chess without hesitation.

As long as the canteen not far from Yun's house starts to ring the bell, Naha will immediately give up playing chess and run to the canteen.

It’s just that this child’s appetite is really scary. It’s common to eat ten whole wheat buns for a meal. The most frightening thing is that even if you eat ten steamed buns, this child can still eat a full bowl of noodles, a big bowl vegetable.

Because she ate too much, in order to reduce the feeling of guilt towards the family, the child never asked for the regular money that Yunchu gave her.

That's right, the dining hall outside is the big kitchen of Yun's family. Normally, family members would eat in the big kitchen when eating. However, except for Yunchu and Naha, the servants at home could only wait for the scholars to eat. When it's over, eat again.

Mutton, chicken, and goose in Datang are very expensive, but pork and duck are very cheap, especially duck. The value of this food is even lower than that of eggs. As for duck eggs, because ducks eat meat, the eggs have a fishy smell Even more cheap.

Every day, the cook of the Yun family cooks seven or eight pots of duck meat, three or four pots of roasted pork with soy sauce, what kind of pig heart and liver are marinated, and they are warmly welcomed by the scholars.

It is still a big problem to eat pig intestines. The reason why the scholars can accept pork is because the cooks of the Yun family make this food so delicious that they temporarily forget about the pickling of pigs. They are still not sensitive to the pig intestines of reincarnation.

Cui didn't have any materials to waste. After learning about the method of making pig intestines from Yunchu, she added some fat meat to the pig intestines on her own initiative to improve the quality of the pig intestines. A coolie delicacy called gourd head appeared.

The low-level ones only add a little worthless intestines to a bowl of soup, and charge people five dollars with two yellow buns.

For a high-end one, there are intestines and a piece of fat meat in a bowl of soup, plus two slices of oily tofu cut into oblique slices, and finally a mustache, and they will charge ten yuan, and the addition of soup will be calculated separately.

The old women in Jinchangfang are scrambling to do this job, as long as they get a pot of soup from Yun's house, some intestines, some fried tofu, some fat meat, and some green onions and garlic, they can carry a small The picker of the stove, looking for a place with a lot of coolies to do business.

Whenever someone asks whether the gourd head can be eaten, the old woman who sells the gourd head will decisively mention Sun Shenxian's name.

Sun Immortal never sold fake products, let alone treat the people badly. As long as something passed through the hands of Sun Immortal, even poison could be consumed. This is absolutely common sense in Datang.

The inside of the fat intestines is full of fat, and the oily water will swell when you bite into it. In the fat meat, there is only pig skin and no red meat. , the old woman can also use her toothless mouth to sip it down a little bit.

This caused Yunchu to hear women shouting from time to time when he was visiting Chang'an—"Sell gourd heads, gourd heads with plenty of oil and water." very warm,
Such Chang'an finally looks like Chang'an.

Yunchu doesn't eat gourd heads, it's not that he doesn't eat them, but that he is waiting for Cui to order them from farmers' houses, and only eats grass and fodder, and the castrated pigs are ready for slaughter.

People in the Tang Dynasty mastered castration technology much better than later generations, mainly because they not only castrated sheep, but also castrated people.

There are many such old-fashioned styles in the Ye Ting Palace. It is said that there are as many as [-] famous families who are said to be so-called that they will never leave future troubles. Castrating pigs is a trivial matter for them. It is not difficult to castrate the elephants raised in the Qujiang pond and paid tribute by Fanbang.

Yunchu also heard that among those craftsmen there were castrated chickens. He didn't know how to do it, so he planned to observe it when he had time.

When the scholars came, the most troublesome thing was not the kitchen of the Yun family, but the bathhouse. Er Niu often cried anxiously because he couldn't serve so many scholars, and couldn't rub a large piece of white meat. Not having enough money is the pain of this child's life.

Especially now that one bath can be charged five cents, Er Niu had no choice but to suggest to Liu Yi to add two more bathers.

There is no idler in Jinchangfang... Even the toothless old woman is sitting under the eaves, watching the baby in the cradle while kneading woolen yarn, because Jinchangfang has started to weave blankets and needs Lots of wool thread.

Chang'an in February is still very cold, even if the willows by the river have begun to sprout new shoots, it is still common for people not to pay attention to it, and their faces will be bleeding from the cold wind.

If you want the feeling of "the willow wind blowing on your face", at least wait until all the leaves of the willow tree grow out.

The past winter was considered safe for the people of Chang'an, but the money was not worth much.

However, this is nothing, just eat one less meal a day, and the days can go on.

Every day, when the gates of the city were opened, there were still a large crowd of people entering Chang'an City with various hopes, and at the same time, groups of people with haggard faces left Chang'an City.

An elder in the Hu Renda Temple in Liquanfang cut his own throat with a knife in front of the residents of Liquanfang. It is said that the blood in his throat traveled more than ten feet away, staining the stone steps blood red. , lost the life of the old woman who crashed and died in the scripture hall, let's let it go.

Yunchu went a little late, and didn't see the big bloodbath scene, but saw a group of Persian monks weeping mournfully around an old Hu man in white, and Di Renjie specially gave the dead Persian Hu man A stick of incense was put on.

Although the smoke from the stick of incense in the Hu Renda Temple was very inconsistent with the religious atmosphere there, Di Renjie persistently used a stick of incense to express his condolences.

Those barbarians are not good things either. After Di Renjie finished expressing his condolences, a few strong Persian men carried two big boxes full of three hundred catties of money and put them in front of Di Renjie. In this way, he took the initiative to open the box and poured out all the five hundred copper coins inside, so that the money almost flooded Di Renjie's legs.

As a result, the originally black eyeballs of those villagers suddenly turned green, and some even turned red.

Yunchu believed that at this time, as long as there was one person from Liquanfang who shouted "Steal money!", Di Renjie would be overwhelmed in an instant.

Di Renjie didn't seem to panic, just clapped his hands, and a dozen monks with big arms and sticks came from outside.

These monks from Liquan Temple put the copper coins back into the box, and carried them into Liquan Temple without saying a word.

It wasn't until this time that Di Renjie said with a fake smile: "Money, you have already seen it. If you want money, you have to work in exchange for it. Listen to what I say, you don't have to say it. In the future, you can eat it or not." as much money as possible.

People who don't listen to my long talk, just roll away as far as I go, starve your old lady to death, and I, the chief of the village, won't even take a look.

Now, those who are willing to listen to Lao Tzu, stand to the left for me, and those who do not want to listen to Lao Tzu, get out immediately! "

Di Renjie, who has been binge-eating pork lately and already looks like a pig, really looks like a pig when he is angry.

The look of staring and baring his teeth was quite powerful, and it also made the person whose eyes were red after seeing the money slowly wake up.

He also remembered that the chief in front of him was not a person like them, but the pride of Tang Dynasty—a student.

I heard that even if someone who came out of Taixue did not pass the Jinshi examination, he could get a foreign official, and the worst thing was a clerk in the yamen.

What's more, at this moment, just behind Di Renjie, there are still fifteen or six imperial students standing. It can be seen that each of these imperial students is holding a stick in their hands, and they are eager to find someone to come out and beat them up. .

The basic requirement for the Tai students in the Tang Dynasty is that a gentleman is proficient in all the six arts. Even among the civil servants of the Tang Dynasty, it is not difficult to find a few masters of martial arts. For example, Changsun Wuji can fight against Cheng Yaojin , And don't fall behind the fierce generals of the wind.

The well-informed villagers had already slowly walked to Di Renjie's left hand side, and there were still a few hesitant ones in the middle. Before they could react, a group of imperial students, led by Di Renjie, rushed up with sticks.

They hit hard, and there was even a look of madness on their faces. For a moment, the few hesitant people could only beg for mercy. Even so, Di Renjie didn't seem to let them go until they The man was beaten into a blood gourd, so he stopped.

Cao, a wealthy householder from the Chang'an County Government, watched coldly from the side, and dozens of bad people with big arms and round waists also watched coldly with their hands folded.

After Di Renjie allowed the family members of these people to carry the injured to the hospital, Cao, the money owner, came over and took Di Renjie's hand and said, "Just let go."

Yunchu always felt that what he did in Jinchangfang was a little unreasonable and arrogant. Now after seeing the methods of Di Renjie, a famous aborigine in the Tang Dynasty, he realized what the real "people's hearts are like iron, and officials are like furnaces!"

He believed that Di Renjie would definitely change Liquanfang, and he even believed that Di Renjie would make Liquanfang a star in Chang'an [-]fang after Jinchangfang.

I believe that all of Di Renjie's actions will eventually benefit all the people in Liquanfang.

It's just that the way he did it was too crude, too disrespectful, and too arbitrary.

　It’s uncomfortable to read, and I’m also uncomfortable to write. I read the history books and found the experience of more than a dozen famous masters of governing the people. The reason why there is a prosperous scene of not picking up lost things on the road and not closing doors at night in a place is because the price of picking up lost things is too heavy.Strong order, strong order, even the emperor's relatives dare to kill, let alone ordinary people.
