Datang first village

Soup is what soup.

Chunlan asked the slave chef who was originally from Goguryeo in the kitchen, and the kitchen immediately cried like a ghost.

"Don't, don't cry!" Chunlan was a little anxious.

Li Chang happened to come over, and immediately grabbed the cook: "Quickly answer XX, what's so special about this soup?"

"This is mother's soup!" The cook said with tears in his eyes: "Every year when the harvest is green and yellow, the dried fish that has been stored for a year has dried up to the point of becoming moldy. It is mixed with various wild vegetables and cooked for the children to eat. Therefore, this Soup is mother's soup, only poor people know about this soup!"

Wild vegetables, there are plenty of wild vegetables here, and the promoters can quickly pick up several carts.

While Li Chang asked people to prepare wild vegetables, it was really difficult to find a moldy dried fish.

After much deliberation, Li Chang asked Chunlan to go in and make a report first, and then he himself went to tell the three superiors to see what they had to say.

When Wang Jishan heard it, he thought it was Jin Manqing who was homesick, which coincided with her hesitation about that page of menu just now.

After hearing this, Wu Zhao secretly handed something to Chunlan, and said in a low voice, "This is the last soup!"

Mushrooms and green vegetables, this is the first dish to be served on the table. Naturally, the chefs in the kitchen are mainly chefs from the Tang Dynasty. Li Yuanxing is delicious, but the taste does not depend on the color or style.Wu Zhao is delicious, and requires good color and fragrance.This shiitake mushroom and green vegetable is a very common dish in modern times, but it can be regarded as a top-notch VIP dish in Chang'an.

Because of the four seasons of the year, no matter when you are, you can eat a portion of shiitake mushrooms and green vegetables.

Since the introduction of this dish in Qinwangzhuang, because it guaranteed the supply of fresh mushrooms and green vegetables in all seasons, it quickly became an important vegetarian dish on the banquet, especially when the officials of the Tang Dynasty entertained foreign envoys, the absence of this dish means That envoy was not valued by Datang.

There are green vegetables in the four seasons of the people, which represents the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

The second meatball, four-color meatball.In addition, there are lean little lion head, raw boiled meatballs, fried meatballs with starch, and fresh balls.Fresh meatballs are delicious meatballs mixed with shrimp and pork.

Four kinds of meatballs, steamed, boiled and fried, using three techniques, and all of them are fresh meat.

In this dish, any kind of meatball is the top grade at the banquet.In Yaozhou, slaves can also eat this dish, but they can't be bought with money, and they can be bought with the points rewarded by the workshop.

This dish represents the most outstanding craftsmen in Yaozhou, no matter men, women, young or old, commoners or slaves.

The third course is twice-cooked pork slices.

Marinated meat, or boiled meat, then thinly sliced ​​and fried with garlic sprouts.This dish is not a banquet, but it is the first-class dish on the table of ordinary people.

Both cured and boiled meats are meats that can be preserved for many days.

Since the slaves in Yaozhou can own some property by themselves, the first thing they store in food is this dried cured meat, or boiled meat cubes. Such things represent the wealth of ordinary slaves.I don’t know what it means in Chang’an, but Yaozhou, this is the best dish for low-level slaves or civilians in Yaozhou.

The last dish, stewed beans!

This is not a dish anymore, it was a staple food in the Tang Dynasty.For the bean cakes after oil extraction, put some coarse salt in a casserole over low heat, add water and simmer slowly over low heat, cook before going to work, and most of the water in the casserole will dry up when you go home at night. The beans are also like porridge.

Eating wheat bran dumplings mixed with wild vegetables, and eating this stewed beans, is the staple food for several months.

The four dishes represent four different emotions.

Wu Zhao admired this Jin Manqing, she was really a smart woman, she expressed all her current mood with four dishes.She loves Datang, she likes her current life, but there are still things in Goguryeo that she can't give up.

When the last soup is served, it is buckled on the tray with a semi-circular pure steel lid.

The maid didn't take off the cover in front of Jin Manqing, but put the whole tray on the table.

With doubts, under the encouragement of Wu Zhao's eyes, Jin Mancheng stretched out his hand and slowly opened the lid. There was no soup on the tray, only a parchment roll tied with a red ribbon and placed in the tray.

"Your voucher, from Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty to Goguryeo, is valid for one year! You can carry your luggage on your back and set off at any time. This voucher was issued by the Qin Palace of the Tang Dynasty. You can pass without hindrance. The post station of the Tang Dynasty You can also stay, and each station will take care of you for a meal and a night's accommodation."

Chunlan stood beside Wu Zhao, explaining the special features of Pingyin.

Holding the quotation, Jin Manqing suddenly asked loudly, "Isn't Datang afraid that I won't come back if I leave?"

Wu Zhao didn't answer, just ate his lunch slowly.

Sitting behind the screen, Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu looked at each other, and they wrote a sentence on the paper at the same time. This is what they think is the best answer when they face such a question.

What Wang Jishan wrote was, Datang treats you like his own daughter, why don't you come back.

What Cui Junsu wrote was that you can become a master here in Datang, why don't you return.

After the two finished writing, they indicated that Lu Chengqing and Li Chang also wrote that they might need to answer.Li Chang directly wrote on the paper in front of him: XX is a rough man, he can't read much, just think that His Royal Highness King Qin treats XX well, and XX repays it with death.

However, Lu Chengqing wrote: What is home, there are relatives and friends, wealth and happiness are always home.

Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu gave Lu Chengqing a thumbs up at the same time. As far as juniors are concerned, Lu Chengqing's words combined the essence of Wang and Cui's rhetoric.Whether he thought of it himself or wrote it after seeing what Wang and Cui said, it cannot conceal that Lu Chengqing is a person with real talent.

How would Wu Zhao answer?

Everyone was looking forward to it, the people behind the screen were looking forward to it, and Jin Manqing was also looking forward to it.

Wu Zhao ate the rice in his small bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "Datang's invitation is just a pass. If someone comes to Chang'an from Lingnan, he will not return to Lingnan if he stays. This is not a violation of return." The law of the Tang Dynasty, but if he wants to return to Lingnan, he needs to apply for a new quotation."

What kind of answer is this?

"You are a commoner in the Tang Dynasty, and no one restricts your freedom. It's just that after one year, your certificate will become invalid, and you will need to re-apply for a customs clearance certificate at the border. As long as you are still alive, you will always have this qualification. You also You can choose where you live in the future, Koguryo is your home."

"Why?" Jin Manqing seemed to be asking herself, she was a little crazy holding the lead with her head down.

Why?Wang Jishan also didn't understand why Wu Zhao would answer like this.

"Civilians of the Tang Dynasty have freedom. This is written in the laws of the Tang Dynasty. However, you have signed a contract with the Yaozhou Herbal Medicine Workshop. You have not worked in the Medicine Workshop for a long time. You have to lose money. This There are clauses in the contract, so if you don’t come back for a year, the officials of Tang Dynasty will find you in Goguryeo and ask you for compensation for your breach of contract.”

Everything Wu Zhao said was true.

Jin Manqing really couldn't understand. He got up and walked to the center to give a big gift. He knelt down on the ground and asked again: "From Chang'an to Goguryeo, I need to pay compensation. The money is not even enough for travel expenses, but why didn't you arrest me?"

"I tell you very seriously, you are a free man, no one has the right to arrest you. Is it a joke for you to be redeemed by Datang? Or is Datang using this word game to deceive you people. Looking for you Losing money is to maintain the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and it is only right and proper to pay back debts!"

Wu Zhao spoke word by word, and his tone was very impressive to Li Yuanxing.

If it wasn't for the fact that Wu Zhao's voice was obviously a young girl's voice, Wang Jishan and the others really thought that the King of Qin, Li Yuanxing, had arrived in this tone.

Jin Manqing cried.

She believed that what a princess said would not be a lie, and she was really free.

but……

Jin Mancheng cried very sadly, crying out all the tears since he became a slave.From being arrested to now, no matter whether it is suffering or tiredness, she has not shed a single tear even when she was accidentally hit by a cabinet and hurt her shoulder, but now she is really crying.

"Your Highness, I can't go back. I want to go back, but I can't!"

"Why?" Wu Zhao's tone softened a lot, but it still sounded like Li Yuanxing's.

"After I go back, I will be taken back to the palace. Because I am a fugitive slave, if I die, the palace will give my parents some rewards. If I am a fugitive slave, then my parents will also be implicated. I will be taken back , beaten to death with a whip, my parents will also lose their family property, and even become slaves!"

Jin Manqing cried sadly, she was a medical lady in the Goguryeo Palace, and from the day she entered the palace, she was the property of the palace.

Although she was not sold as a slave, when she entered the palace, the Goguryeo Palace would give her a sum of money from her family, which was regarded as buying her.It's just that she didn't fall into the status of selling women as slaves. In fact, she was regarded as a high-level slave. She became a medical maid in the palace, and she didn't survive until she became a formal medical maid. She was free.

Wang Jishan and Cui Junsu are high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty. They not only understand the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but also know a little about the laws of the surrounding small countries. After all, they are friendly countries.

Hearing Jin Manqing cry, both of them were a little moved.

Wang Jishan said: "It shouldn't be difficult to buy her parents back. General Cheng should be able to do it!"

But just when everyone was sympathizing with Jin Manqing.

"Ha, hahaha!" Wu Zhao laughed out loud, seemingly without any sympathy.

Jin Manqing gave up, she knew that the only way out for her was to stay in Datang. The only thing she could ask for was that she had saved enough money to take her parents and younger brother to Datang to live a prosperous life.

"What is it in your arms? Do you know what that piece of paper represents?" Wu Zhao's tone of voice at this time was definitely a copy of Li Yuanxing, without the slightest difference.Words, sentences, pauses in tone, everything is a copy of Li Yuanxing.

This shocked the four people behind the screen.

Trembling, Jin Manqing took out his scroll representing the status of a commoner in the Tang Dynasty.

"You are a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. There is no prison for the people of the Tang Dynasty outside of the Tang Dynasty. How dare you beat the people of the Tang Dynasty!" (To be continued.)
