A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 55: Should you eat contraband?

Zhao Zhongzhen felt that the atmosphere in the palace was a bit strange, but he still knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I broke the porcelain vase and it had nothing to do with Shen An."

After he finished speaking, he waited for the emperor's decision, but after waiting for a long time, he heard no movement.

He raised his head to take a look and saw Zhao Zhen frowning slightly.

He looked to the side again...

Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi are like...

He thought about it carefully and felt that it was like the expression on his face that he couldn't poop some time ago.

He looked at Shen An again.

Shen An was also looking at him, but his expression was not kind. If he hadn't been here, he would have slapped him in the face.

"This matter..."

Zhao Zhen finally spoke, but found that he had nothing to say.

say what?

Are you saying that Shen An is a monster?

The Liao embassy even said that the envoy was sick and didn't pursue the case. Does the Song Dynasty still have to pursue it?

How mean is this!

But why did Shen An think about saying those words to the messenger?

Wen Yanbo also wanted to ask, but his status as prime minister kept him silent.

He had already humiliated himself once, and if he did it again, he felt that he would have to get out without having to be impeached by his political opponents.

"Shen An..."

"Xiaomin is here."

This is very interesting. With his status as a commoner, others would probably call themselves a villain in front of officials and emperors. They thought it was normal, but Shen An preferred to call himself a commoner.

Zhao Zhen was too embarrassed to ask after all, so he waved his hand and said: 'Go and live a good life from now on and don't cause any trouble. ’

Shen An bowed and thanked the emperor, then turned and left.

Zhao Zhongzhen was still confused. Seeing that the emperor was about to withdraw, he couldn't help shouting at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty, I did it. I did that thing."

Zhao Zhen stood up and looked at him, nodded slightly and said: "You are responsible, okay. Let's go back."

Zhao Zhongzhen knew that he would not get the answer here, so he ran away to chase Shen An.

After leaving the palace, the two had a chance to talk.

"never mind?"

"never mind."

Zhao Zhongzhen touched his head, and Shen An suddenly snorted coldly and slapped him.

"Why did you hit me?"

Yang Mo was recovering from his injuries, and the new guards were probably more capable, so he was just a little shocked and didn't draw his sword to chop Shen An into pieces.

Shen An said angrily: "I will take care of this matter. You must have come to see His Majesty without telling your family, but don't you know that this will be bad? It will also implicate the county prince's palace!"

The guard also felt sad after hearing this. Shen An said to him: "Don't exaggerate when you go back. Just say that the matter has been settled."

The guard glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen, and Zhao Zhongzhen said, "Go ahead. The Shen family got some beef today. I'll go eat it and bring some back to Weng Weng."

Beef these days is not a popular commodity as mentioned in the Water Margin. If it were really a popular commodity, Sun Erniang and his wife would not make human meat buns.

Anyone who slaughtered cattle privately had a twenty-twenty-bone cane, and it seemed that he had to serve for a year or something. This shows that the emperor attached great importance to the cattle.

Of course, Shen An longed to shout as soon as he entered the restaurant: "Have a plate of soy sauce beef!"

But this is not realistic. Fortunately, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. There are many people selling beef privately in Bianliang City. Zhuang Laoshi set up a line a few days ago, and today he said he was going to buy ten kilograms to take home.

When she arrived at the door of her house, Shen An saw Guo Guo.

Guoguo was holding the door and looking around. Aunt Chen was there, Zhuang Laoshi... and his whole family were there.

Everyone was nervously waiting for the news, but Guoguo, who was unaware, was still happy.

"elder brother……"

Guoguo broke away from Aunt Chen as if she had discovered a new world, and then stumbled over.

"Ouch! My sister is fat again!"

Shen An went over and picked up Guoguo, pretending that she couldn't hold her, which made Guoguo pout unhappy.

Huahua circled at her feet, and Zhuang Laoshi came over. Seeing that Shen An looked calm and Zhao Zhongzhen didn't look anxious, he suppressed the question and said, "Lang Jun, the beef has arrived."

Shen An smiled and said, "Let's take a look."

When Shen An saw a few large pieces of beef tendon meat, he didn't know what to do, so he said: "Cook it first, keep the soup, and slice the meat!"

He turned around and went out. Guoguo held his sleeve and followed him. Huahua stuck out his tongue in front of him and Zhao Zhongzhen muttered behind him.

"It tastes best when grilled."

"nonsense!"

Shen An said disdainfully: "Beef tendon is best suited to braised or braised, but we want to eat it in multiple ways, so let's stew it, then slice it for beef hot pot, and eat beef soup cakes in the morning... add some of my special Hot sauce…”

"I want to eat!"

Zhao Zhongzhen was so greedy that he didn't want to go home. Guoguo then pulled Shen An's sleeves out of shape.

"Brother, I want to eat! I want to eat!"

"Okay, later."

Shen An easily picked up Guoguo and hung him there, laughing constantly.

"Mr. Lang, how much should our family pay for the Toutuo announcement in the morning?"

Zhuang Laoshi chased after him, but asked a small question.

"It's hard work to announce the dawn at the fifth watch. From now on, I will give each person who announces the dawn a bowl of rice every day as a blessing to Guoguo."

Toutu's announcement of dawn can be regarded as a way of alms and a way of communication. Shen An feels that it has broken away from the scope of religion and has become a phenomenon.

Zhuang Laoshi glanced at Guoguo, who was being moved by Shen Anti without touching the ground, and said: "Lang Jun, you are the head of the family, how about... give some money for sesame oil? If not, then buy an ultimatum and call someone ruthlessly. Go become a substitute and become a monk, so as to pray for the Shen family."

In the Song Dynasty, you could not become a monk just by wanting to become a monk, as evidenced by the ultimatum.

And the price of the ultimatum is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Just for the cost of the work, you have to pay ten thousand dollars, and other things add up. Ordinary people really can't afford to be a monk.

But the more this happens, the more people value the status of a monk, so a new thing called a substitute monk appeared.

"That's a lie."

Shen An didn't think there was any benefit in doing this. As for Zhuang Laoshi's suggestion, he just wanted him to avoid it for a while.

"Mr. Lang, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net has a guest..."

Guoguo didn't understand this, she was just thinking about the deliciousness of hot pot. When she saw the visitor, she couldn't help but shout: "Brother, you are so fierce."

Zhao Yunrang looked a little fierce, with two big eyeballs falling under his eyes, and his frowning brows venting his aura: I'm unhappy, don't mess with me.

Zhao Zhong was stunned for a moment, then bowed with a guilty conscience: "Weng Weng."

Shen An put down his sister, cupped his hands and said, "It's a great honor for the prince to come to my humble residence."

Zhao Yunrang coughed dryly and said, "Is this your sister? She's quite lovely, much better than the beasts in my house."

Shen An smiled and said, "Everyone from the Prince's family is extraordinary, but my brothers and sisters can't match them."

Zhao Yunrang nodded stiffly, glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen, and asked, "I heard that your family has beef?"

Zhuang Laoshi's legs went weak all of a sudden, and he relied on the Yao chain beside him to stay steady.

He worked as a housekeeper for officials, but that was just a minor official!

As for Zhao Yun, once the aura of such a clan leader was unleashed, his little moral skills were totally not enough.

But Shen An just smiled and said, "That's right. I'm preparing to make a hot pot. Would you like to try it, Prince?"

This is beef!

Contraband, you actually talked about eating beef hot pot in front of the King of Runan County, and even invited him to enjoy it together.

Zhuang Laoshi felt that his husband might have some wrong understanding of the powerful, and he was too naive.

Zhao Yunrang stared at Shen An for a long time. Seeing that he just smiled and did not avoid it, he said, "What is hot pot? I want to try it too."

Zhuang Laoshi shivered, causing Yao Lian to ask in a low voice: "Is the housekeeper unwell?"

Zhuang Laoshi said with a strange expression: "It's good to eat, it's good to eat!"

If you eat it, you will become an accomplice. It depends on how you use it as a handle.
