Stir-fried Datang: The Strongest Daughter

Chapter 98
Cui Gan, who was far away in the capital, did not know that he was inexplicably hated by a group of farmer husbands. For a long time, he suffered deep resentment and curses.

And Xu Jingzong, who had just entered the county lord's mansion, didn't know that he had somehow become the object of supervision by the people.His supervisors range from old people in their 70s to a five-year-old boy. In short, as soon as he walks around in the village, someone will immediately watch him. If there is any abnormality, he will be tied up and handed over to the county magistrate.

On the second day after entering the mansion, Xu Jingzong had the honor to taste the famous Cheng family food in the capital.Hearing that the king of Wei sent several chefs to Chengfu to learn their skills, the emperor soon learned about it, and directly handed over the cooks of Chengfu to the Shangshi Bureau. Now Chengfu cuisine has become a scenic spot in Chang'an.It would definitely be a great honor for His Majesty to reward a courtier with a banquet in the Cheng Mansion.

Poor Yang Xiaoran didn't know that she was inexplicably squeezed by Li Er again, but she didn't get any benefits, and the skills she gave for nothing became Li Er's means to win over his subordinates.

Fried pan-fried buns, a bowl of millet porridge, and some water spinach, tsk tsk, simple but delicious, and suddenly I feel that life is cheerful and beautiful.At least the food is good, isn't it?

After Yang Xiaoran had breakfast, the snow had almost melted as early as yesterday, so he grabbed his pony, called Bao Lin and his two senior brothers, and planned to go for a stroll in Xiaoqingshan.It's winter again, and there are many delicious things in the small pond at the foot of Xiaoqingshan Mountain, and I have to go there to find some things, and move some soil to my space for experiments.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still feel that it is not suitable to build a greenhouse, and the cost is really high.Moreover, they have their own space, and the temperature in the space is very suitable for plant growth.Since the land inside does not grow crops, you can get some soil from the outside in, get a few flower pots and start the experiment first!
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that the newly added fields seemed weird. Since seedlings could be raised in the space, it should be feasible to use the soil outside to grow things.It was only two or three miles from Zhuangzi to Xiaoqingshan. Several people led the horses and brought more than [-] guards, and rushed all the way to Xiaoqingshan.

Xiaoqingguan was well taken care of, and Liu Wenhui was a man who would send people up the mountain to clean it up from time to time.Although he knew that the other party was flattering, Yang Xiaoran accepted it.I didn’t forget about this lord during Laba yesterday, and asked someone to send some Laba porridge over there, as well as a few pieces of soap and basic laundry soap.

Well, it is indeed soap.This was also made together with the first batch of soap. The fat used was a little higher than lard, and suet oil extracted from wool was used.Due to poor equipment, limited technical conditions, a lot of waste, and failures, this batch of suet is very precious.

In addition to being used to make soap, a part has to be left to leave the base oil for future beauty and skin care products.Drop various essences into the soap, add a small amount of alkali noodles and honey, whether it is used to clean hair, or wash face and bath, it is a good product.Such purely handmade soaps with exquisite materials will be high-end products even in later generations, let alone in the early Tang Dynasty.

A few pieces of soap didn't look like much, but Liu Wenhui, who got it, knew it was a great gift, and was very excited right away.What does this mean?It shows that the county lord is very fond of him!This time he became even more energetic, and sent people to keep an eye on Xiaoqingzhuang's movements at all times, and if the county lord asked, he could come immediately.

Xiaoqingguan has not changed much, although it is clean, it is still simple, but Yang Xiaoran feels at ease here.After all, it was my first place in Tang Dynasty, where I lived for ten years, and there are too many memories here.

Went to the master, wiped the tombstone clean with his own hands, lit another stick of incense, burned some paper money, and offered the dishes he brought, although they were cabbage (cabbage) and radishes, but Yang Xiaoran knew that he only ate vegetarian food My master would not dislike the crudeness of the dishes she offered.

Drived everyone away, sat alone on the grave for a while, then looked around for a while, and with a thought, took out a small shovel from the space, and with great effort, dug a hole not far from the master's grave. Got some soil into the space.

Although she is very strong, much bigger than her peers, but the weather is cold and it is on a mountain, the soil is not easy to dig.Fortunately, she had prepared for it a long time ago. She got hot water in a basin in advance, hid it secretly in the space, and poured the hot water thoroughly, so it was a little easier to dig.

After doing this, I felt a lot lighter. I walked briskly back to the main hall of Xiaoqingguan, and said with a smile: "Brother Baolin, senior brother, and second senior brother, are you all ready? Come on, let's fish Fish go."

"Sister Yaoxiang, do you really have to cut through the ice and the fish will jump out by themselves?"

Baolin seemed very puzzled. When the ice layer was cut open, the fish jumped up by itself?Even livestock have the instinct to survive. Can fish survive without water?How could he jump out so stupidly?

With a snotty smirk, he said: "Xiandi Baolin, my sister's methods are very incomparable. After the master left, I thought I was going to starve to death, but I didn't know that my sister asked us to bring something. At the foot of the mountain, my senior brother and I took turns smashing, smashing a big hole in the ice, and after a while the fish gathered and jumped out by themselves."

"What's the point?"

Baolin was surprised. Although he was a military commander, his mind was not very bright when he was in Wendao.At the beginning, his mother had spent a lot of effort teaching him to read and write.But in his bones, there is an energy that belongs to a warrior who refuses to admit defeat. He has read all the four books and five classics through the diligence of ordinary people.

Although it is not as good as those serious scholars, reading is a process of cultivating people's logical thinking ability, so naturally they think more than snot and stupid cows.In his opinion, there must be some mysteries in such an incredible thing, and it must be full of the most mysterious truth in the world.

"Actually, the reason is very simple."

Yang Xiaoran pursed his lips and smiled, "Fish live in the water, but they have to breathe just like humans, but not as urgently as humans..."

She organized her language to try to explain this truth in terms that people in Tang could understand.

"As soon as winter comes, the water surface is frozen, and there is less air for the fish to breathe at the bottom, so once the ice surface is broken and fresh air enters, the fish that have been stuffy for a long time will rush to swim over, just out of a kind of It's just instinct."

"Is this also the knowledge and science taught by my sister's teacher?" Baolin frowned, pondered for a while and said, "It sounds like this science is somewhat similar to my Confucianism. Does this mean it is the study of things?"

"Brother Baolin is right, but the sage said that investigating things is only for people, but science is about investigating things to gain knowledge, that is, regardless of the world, even if flowers bloom and fade, one must observe the slightest changes in objects and objects." , so as to be inspired to improve our living environment."

Seeing that the two senior brothers and Bao Lin had mosquito-repellent eyes, Yang Xiaoran continued to explain: "For example, if you don't check the fish carefully, how do you know that fish in the water need to breathe? My master put this Things are called oxygen, and people need to breathe air because the air contains oxygen. In the same way, fish cannot live in a pool of stagnant water, which means that fish also need oxygen, but it is less than we humans need.”

"Once there is a lack of oxygen, you will die. After winter, the water surface is frozen, and the fish are less than oxygen for a long time. Once there is a mouth here, of course they will gather and jump out to meet the needs of the body."

"I see!"

Baolin suddenly realized, the two senior brothers shook their heads, and the foolish cow said in a muffled voice, "No wonder the master only teaches knowledge to the junior sisters. What kind of sheep is this? It's so bullish, it makes me dizzy."

"Yes, yes!"

The snot also nodded repeatedly, "It turns out that people breathe to absorb the sheep's energy, and fish also eat the sheep's energy. This is the essence of heaven and earth. Now I finally understand why fish and sheep read 'fresh'. It turns out to be the truth! "

"Go away!"

Yang Xiaoran was furious, he clenched his fist and punched Han Niu and Snot in the chest, and roared: "What sheep is angry, is it so bullish? I still have athlete's foot?!! It's enough, why did the master accept you two idiots, you are so stupid, I can't think of such an explanation with my toes! Go, go, work for me, and don't bother me here!"

Being scolded by the junior sister, the snot and the silly cow are not angry. I have been with her for a long time, and I know that she is a hard-spoken person, so she smiled and flattered me: "So the master doesn't teach us anymore. If you can't even learn characters well, don't you still have a junior sister?"

Yang Xiaoran had a headache, rubbed his aching temples, and said: "Stop talking, go, dig the ice to fetch fish! If I keep talking to you two, I'll be pissed off by you!"

"hey-hey."

Snot and Han Niu laughed idiotically, picked up the tools and said, "Xiang Baolin, let's go to see the fun together?"

"it is good!"

Baolin readily agreed, "I'll go see it too! Then I'll find some game for you guys later. It's rare to come out to play once, so let's just treat it as an outing."

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaoran clapped his little hands, and said: "Then what are you waiting for? Brother Baolin, senior brother, let's go down the mountain, catch fish and then go hunting. Tsk tsk, I haven't hunted before myself, so I might as well go and have a look!" "

"Row!"

A group of people went down the mountain. Snot and Hanniu were obviously very proficient at this job, and the speed of cutting ice was amazing.A group of guards looked curiously, and were a bit eager for skill. Seeing that Baolin had asked for tools from Hanniu, they also turned their heads and listened carefully. Soon, a group of killers took their own big knives and started beating and hacking on the ice. Now the fish in Xiaoqingshan are about to suffer.

Fortunately, they were digging ice for the first time, they had little experience, and the tools were not in place, so they didn't make much noise, and they were finally saved by the fish in Xiaoqingshan.Otherwise, the fish here will be extinct, and it is in the secluded place of the old master. Yang Xiaoran doesn't know if the old man will come to him at night in a fit of anger.

After all, what, cheap master is against killing...
