The Zhou family has no servants and maids, and Cailong actually acts as a gatekeeper in the sojourn here. Zhou Kaishan's father and son went out separately, and Zhou Peipei generally followed the master to practice martial arts in the Guanglong dart game. On weekdays, only Li Shi, Huang Guanmei, and their two children are at home, and they are still in the main courtyard, and they rarely cross the second door when there is nothing to do.

Rong Yuanhang and Cailong's master and servant went out to the street smoothly. It's just that he was wearing modern clothes, which provoked passers-by in Xianyang City to cast strange purposes.

"What a mistake, forget about this stubble." Rong Yuanhang was watched by a monkey, and it felt very unnatural. I had to hurriedly ask a passer-by and find the meat and vegetable market.

The market is full of people coming and going, lively and noisy, and the order here is relatively chaotic, and sometimes the stalls selling meat are separated by bamboo art stalls selling baskets. or those who sell porcelain bowls and wooden chopsticks, and occasionally those who sell radishes and vegetables. There are even those who sell shoes and hats, as well as agricultural tools and ironware. It turned out to be an official free market, and as long as the tax was paid, whoever arrived first would occupy a position that he thought was good. There is no unified and standardized market management.

What makes Rong Yuanhang interesting is that whether it is chickens, ducks, geese, or cattle, sheep, rabbits and dogs, except for pork, they are all only sold, not slaughtered and weighed by catties. The price is also very reasonable: a live goose, sold for six or seven cents of silver. Live ducks are sold for three cents each. Live chickens are sold for four cents each.

Also, the goat weighed more than thirty pounds, and sold for only five dollars and four cents of silver; A live pig weighs more than 80 catties, which is the price of one or two or six dollars; Adult cattle, the price is only eight taels of silver. In addition, there are some game, such as pheasants and pheasants for one penny, and geese for eight coins each. A live sika deer with a body length of one meter six or seven sells for seven taels and nine dollars of silver. A live roe deer sells for five taels of silver.

One tael here is 37 grams of silver, which is 130 yuan when converted into RMB at the current price. And one tael is equal to ten cents or hundreds. In other words, one cent of silver is equivalent to one dollar triangle!

According to this, it can be calculated that a live sika deer is only sold for 246 yuan. A live sheep weighing more than 30 pounds is only sold for less than 70 yuan. The price of the cow is relatively a little more expensive, more than 1,000 yuan, but the use of the cow is not only to be placed on the table for eating, it also has a more important purpose, it is a good helper for farming.

Rong Yuanhang really wanted to take a live sheep back and have a roast whole sheep or something, but thinking about the kung fu of roasting the whole sheep, it was time-consuming and laborious, not to mention that only he and Yan Xiaodan ate it, it was too wasteful and had to give up. In the end, I spent two coins of silver to buy seven taels of high-quality fish maw, which is the fish maw of the big fish. I bought a wild pheasant for a penny, and then there was a big live mandarin fish, a few catties of live shrimp, and then four large green back crabs, some sparse vegetables and ordinary meat.

After this round of procurement, Cailong lifted his hands full, and at the same time, he had a lot of copper coins in his pocket.

……

"Cailong, you know how to cook, right?" Quietly returned to the courtyard of the Zhou family, and asked him when Rong Yuanhang was about to cross.

Cailong shook his head blankly: "I won't." ”

"I know you're like this, then come and help me do it, I can't do it alone to make such a table of dishes." Rong Yuanhang summoned the face of the door, and took the colorful dragon back to the modern villa in an instant.

"I'm going, that's it?" Rong Yuanhang looked at the time, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon. Hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and ordered Cailong to wash vegetables and cut meat, slaughter raw birds, etc.

So he boiled hot water again, and plucked the pheasant's feathers. Live fish and shrimp are cut open to take the internal organs, and the vegetables are also cleaned. Unexpectedly, although Cailong can't cook, his knife skills are very good, as long as he asks for a little, the meat and vegetables are cut out evenly and moderately, and the thickness is consistent.

In the wide and convenient kitchen, the cooking utensils are very complete, for the Pomeranian people to smile, Rong Yuanhang is also open, and Cailong spent three hours, made a full table of dishes: there are lettuce prawns, this dish is better if there is a lobster, but unfortunately there is no live lobster for sale in Xianyang City, but it is not bad, because the size of the shrimp is not small, each one weighs one or two catties, and it is made of red and green, the color is pleasing to the eye, and the meat is fresh, it can be regarded as a copycat version of the famous dish of Cantonese and Guangdong. In addition, there are stir-fried crab with ginger and shallots, stewed fish maw, stewed pheasant, steamed mandarin fish, braised roe meat, stir-fried fat sausage, ....... The whole table is neatly arranged, and the room is full of fragrance, which looks smooth and oily, and it is mouth-watering.

……

"Cailong, you eat first, I'll send you back after eating." Rong Yuanhang looked at the time, it was six or seven o'clock in the evening, and he thought to himself, why hasn't she come back yet? If Cailong is here, then there will be less flavor of the two-person world. In order not to leave a light bulb here to hinder the development between the two of them, he decided to send Cailong back.

Cailong said: "I don't eat, the master is not seated, how can Cailong eat first?" ”

"I don't pay attention to this, let's eat it."

"Master, why don't you send me back now, I still have silver on me, and you can just settle it over there." In fact, Cailong can go without food for more than ten consecutive days. ”

Rong Yuanhang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll send you back first!" "You don't have to be too polite to your pet beast, you just waved it and sent it through the courtyard of the Zhou family in the Otherworldly Immortal Yang City.

In the dining room, only Rong Yuanhang was left, he was busy for two or three hours just now, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep as if he had won the jackpot last night. But remembering that Yan Xiaodan was going to the feast later, he regained his spirits.

It's just that when I saw that it was getting dark, I began to feel anxious: why hasn't she come back yet? Rong Yuanhang patrolled back and forth countless times from the dining room to the gate, but there was still no movement in the Yan family villa next door, and only one Mu Bao was left at home. He couldn't help but dial Yan Xiaodan's phone - but, to his surprise, the other party actually turned off the phone!

"Damn, what's going on, I made an appointment to come over for dinner tonight, why didn't I come so late, and the phone was turned off? She's not going to be playing with me, is she? Then thinking about the impression she gave herself of gentleness and innocence, she should not be boring enough to do such a thing.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much, so I'd better wait for her." Rong Yuanhang was afraid that she would not go out in time to greet her, so he specially opened the door outside, and then curled up on the sofa chair in the dining room in a daze, and gradually, his eyelids began to fight, and he fell asleep unconsciously......

……

At this time, Yan Xiaodan was busy receiving a group of contracted painters who suddenly visited in a bustling commercial building in the center of the city. This is also her own gallery, which mainly sells calligraphy and paintings. Yan Xiaodan is very artistic, since childhood, her calligraphy and painting works have been able to win many championships in national exhibitions, and she is now a well-known young female painter. One of her highest-record works sold for $960,000 at auction in the United States. At present, there are two galleries in the city, in addition to this one, the other is located on the outskirts of the city, and a few people are hired to help take care of it.

After sending off the guests an hour later, Yan Xiaodan felt hungry when he was free. Suddenly remembered that he was going to Rong Yuanhang's house for dinner today, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and secretly screamed that it was terrible: the mobile phone was actually out of battery.

"Blue Moon, what time is it?" Yan Xiaodan asked the girl who was cleaning up the coffee cup. The girl's name is Lan Yue, a twenty-three-year-old young and beautiful girl, graduated from the National Academy of Fine Arts, and was recruited by Yan Xiaodan to become a contracted painter under her name, and also the specific manager of Yan Xiaodan Gallery.

"It's 8:40, Sister Xiaodan, I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten yet, you hurry up and treat me, or I'll strike!" Lan Yue replied with a bitter face.

"You dare! I'll deduct all your wages! Yan Xiaodan pretended to be fierce and said, but thought in his heart: It's more than eight o'clock in the evening now? I don't know if Rong Yuanhang, that guy is waiting for himself.

"Let's go, I'll take you home to eat. Lock the door and you'll be staying at my house tonight. ”

Lan Yue said: "It's all here, does your nanny and aunt still have food?" ”

"If not, then let's eat instant noodles!" Yan Xiaodan still retains a hope, maybe that guy is waiting for him.

"Huh? You—You're so picky! With your boss, I've been out of luck for eight lifetimes! Although Lan Yue said so, she still packed her things and went out with her.

……

At nine o'clock in the evening, Yan Xiaodan took the blue moon and drove his own car, a red Audi car, back to the villa area of Yushui Haoting Garden.

I saw that the villa next door was brightly lit and the gate was also open. Yan Xiaodan drove the car into his garage, dragged Lan Yue out, "Let's go, take you to the neighbor's house to eat, hehe." ”

Under the street lamp, Yan Xiaodan dragged Lan Yue to the gate of the villa, and when she saw that the doors were open, she was a little curious, thinking what was he doing at this time? So I tiptoed into the hall on the first floor, and at a glance, there was no one! I turned to the dining room again, and saw that on the sofa, Rong Yuanhang was unconsciously sleeping with his mouth open!

"Who is he?" Lan Yue lowered her voice and asked, "Could it be your boyfriend?" ”

"What are you talking about, do I have a boyfriend you don't know yet?" Yan Xiaodan also argued quietly, but a pair of beautiful eyes glanced at the man who was sleeping soundly on the sofa. That sleeping phase...... There is still drooling at the corner of the mouth, which is really funny!

"Why did you sneak into someone's house, like a thief, and say no?"

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Yan Xiaodan glanced at her. The sound of two women chirping woke up Rong Yuanhang in his dream.

"Xiao Dan?"

Yan Xiaodan was taken aback by surprise, she stretched out her cute little tongue, like a child who had stolen candy and was discovered.

Rong Yuanhang was excited, and when he saw the beauty, he immediately got up, and he wiped the saliva on his chin: "You're here, I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep just now, is this ......?" ”

"My name is Lan Yue, and I am an employee of Sister Xiaodan." Blue Moon has a slightly chubby face, and her smile is very bright.

"Oh, hello. My name is Rong Yuanhang, uh, come and sit down, the food is going to be cold. Rong Yuanhang hurriedly pulled open the chairs on the dining table and invited the two girls to take a seat. Then open the lid on the dish in the same way.

"Wow, it's so fragrant and rich!" Blue Moon clapped her hands excitedly. There are more than 10 dishes on the table, full of color and flavor, and the table is full of beautiful decorations. Yan Xiaodan glanced at him with strange eyes, thinking to himself that it was good for two people to eat, he actually made so many dishes, it can be seen that he must have spent a lot of effort.

"It's cold, or I'll heat it up." Rong Yuanhang said with some embarrassment.

"No, no, that's good." Blue Moon had already made the first move, grabbed a piece of shrimp meat and stuffed it into her mouth.

"It's just your gluttony," Yan Xiaodan scolded with a smile, and said, "I don't think you need to be hot, it's good." Well, I'm hungry. ”

"Alright, let's eat." Rong Yuanhang said. It's all at this point, everyone is already hungry, and they can't care about the cold food. He diligently served meals to the two girls, laid out napkins, delivered water and soup, and was busy before and after. Blue Moon couldn't help but look at the two of them with strange eyes.

Yan Xiaodan's face was already tender, Rong Yuanhang was careful and considerate to him, and he was looked at by the gossip of the blue moon next to him, and he couldn't help but turn crimson. glanced back at her fiercely, and said angrily, "What do you see?" It's not what you think, eat your meal! ”
