The yard is full of tinkling and clanging knocking sounds and mud sounds, and there are constantly family maids or mothers-in-law running around happily, after Wang Hou's fire kang renovation plan was successful, he is a big stroke of the pen, to transform the entire house, whether it is the main room, the guest room or the whole shop into a fire kang house.

There are a total of 55 large and small fire kangs, full of novelty, and a group of people are busy with work.

Well, in the sound of happy labor, there is also mixed with the quacking of ducks and geese, no way, the first down coat was taken by Cao Hongjie's little conscienceless to slap Mr. Cao, the rotten Lord Wang wants not to be frozen, and the suffering geese have to experience the second wave of inhumane feathers.

The people of the family were busy with hard work and happiness, but their head of the family had a sad face, and his legs were put on the kang one by one.

Two worries, first, he found out that he had been deceived!

As soon as he came home from work today, Wang Fu was happily trotting over, reporting that on the Funiu Mountain near Xudu, a firewood collector had discovered a coal mine, and Wang Hou was also happy to buy the land, and hurriedly opened the gold ten-pound box that Lu Bu had rewarded him, but he was instantly disappointed.

What gold! It's clearly ten pounds of brass pieces!

Then there was the uninvited guest who occupied his kang head, sitting cross-legged with a pair of slender thighs, very village girl put those little hands in her sleeves, and now Cao Hongjie's excited little face was flushed, constantly urging there.

"What are you doing? Let's hurry up and go catch the mouse! ”

I really don't know if she's a woman, why she's obsessed with officials to such an extent, rectifying Taicang, snatching food from those rat families who pull the official warehouse to eat, thankless, doesn't she know?

And sure enough, Wang Hou didn't pee, and the first time she received the task, this girl found herself.

"It's almost sunset! What a departure! ”

Paralyzed on the kang with a headache, Wang Hou pushed away sadly, but in one sentence, Cao Hongjie's apricot eyes were so angry that he patted the edge of the kang and shouted.

"Hey! When you asked me for help, this girl didn't say a word, she didn't care about it, and she came immediately during the day and night! Why are you so unhappy here, I knew that you were unreliable, forget it, I don't want to help pull it down, this girl will go by herself! ”

This girl is really in a hurry, saying that, she is really going to turn around and go out of the kang, looking at her back, Wang Hou who is watching can't help but wail, and hurriedly climbs two steps in a row, grabbing her sleeve.

"Wait, I didn't say I wouldn't help!"

"Don't you go quickly!"

It's not that she really wants to go, so the little woman Cao Xiaoniang stopped, but her little face still looked angry, just like the expression of Wang Hou and his colleague when he asked his colleague to buy love crazy in later generations.

"The question is where to go now!"

The salted fish was spread on the hot kang like that, and Wang Hou once again spread his hands sadly, but he couldn't prevent this girl from scratching and pulling out the ring head knife hanging from his waist.

Looking at the cold and shining Uzi steel blade, Wang Hou was startled, and thought that this girl was crazy and wanted to give him a big disassembly on the spot, and sat back on the kang.

didn't know that in Wang Hou's eyes, he suddenly became a crazy girl, but Cao Hongjie's eyes were shining, and he danced twice against the windy linen window, shouting excitedly.

"The prime minister asked me to punish Cao on my behalf, so naturally I will arrest all the corrupt officials who embezzled Taicang grain, torture them, and make them confess!"

Looking at Jian Feng, Cao Hongjie seemed to see that she had become a female Qingtian, holding her big knife, she was handsome poss, but this knot, but Wang Hou was afraid that a basin of cold water was splashed on her little brain.

"And then? Cut down all these corrupt officials, where can you find twenty more warehouse rafters who are familiar with warehouse affairs to manage Taicang? You must know that Yuan Shao in the north and Yuan Shu in the south, Lu Bu in the east and Zhang Xiu in the west, maybe one day the prime minister will have to use soldiers, the soldiers and horses will go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the time will not be able to transfer the food, so we will have to kneel on the execution ground together and lose our heads, that is really not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month and month of the same year! ”

Seeing Wang Houbei urging an old face to spread her hands heavily, Cao Xiaoniang was also dumbfounded, dragging the ring head knife, for a long time, only then did she stare at her apricot eyes, and asked in shock: "Then what should I do?" Just watch that group of corrupt officials get away with it? ”

"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and the prime minister doesn't want to kill everyone, what the prime minister wants is Taicang Youdu, and he can transfer food when he needs it, besides, do you really think that a small hundred stone warehouse rafters can embezzle a warehouse of more than 100,000 stone of grain? Find out why there is no such food, and when the time comes, the food will not be lost, this is where the prime minister appoints you!"

"Of course, things have come to this point, and there must be unlucky people who have to pay for it, and among these twenty or so people, which unlucky person has to be calculated!"

Wang Hou pinched his chin helplessly and explained, but Cao Hongjie, who listened to it, was confused, and the beautiful apricot kernel eyes were full of ecstasy, and he inserted the ring knife back into his waist with a bang, and the little buttocks sat on the kang at once, crossed the long legs, hugged her arms, and she simply shook her head with a bitter little face.

"Do what you say! Anyway, the drunkard Guo said that he would look for you if he had something! ”

Sure enough, Guo Jia calculated, but even so, there is a "deep revolutionary friendship", and Wang Hou can't ignore Cao Hongjie's affairs, an old face is like a bitter melon, he turned around sadly, glanced at the heavy brass box on the kang, and after a while, he also patted his thigh.

"Listen to me, listen to me, the first thing, go buy a sheep ...... first, no, this is official business, you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to lead the sheep first!"

"Sheep ???"

………………

is still Mr. Cao's generosity, Cao Hongjie returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a hurry, and directly brought back a group of sheep, which made the backyard of the palace smoky, either sheep or ducks, so angry that Wang Houzhi was confused.

I knew that Cao Hongjie would have asked for copper again.

However, Mr. Cao is generous, he can't be stingy, the society he Brother Lu sent ten catties of copper generously took out, and drew drawings on the paper that was also rubbed from the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Hou immediately handed it over to the blacksmith Wang Tiehammer in the house, and in this humble and muscular guy's eyes went straight to the circle, and sent him down to fight.

I don't know if this era has not yet reached the level that the Northern Song Dynasty kind of woman who is in charge of education does not go out of the door, or anyway, she has been with the bed, broken jars and broken pots, this night Cao Hongjie still did not return home, so she stayed on Wang Hou's hot kang head, although she was not allowed to touch it, this girl also sprinkled a line of soybeans between the two, shouting that crossing the line is a beast! But with such a little girl sleeping beside her, Wang Hou is still very happy to be a "beast" all night.

It was another night of comfortable kangtou, early the next morning, without waiting for Wang Hou to reluctantly get up, the prime minister's mansion came to report again, saying that he remembered that Wang Lingguan had made a meritorious record, and let him take paid leave, as for when the vacation was when, the official did not say, it is estimated that when the matter of Taicang was solved, and when he would come back to work.

Anyway, the things that offend people can't escape no matter what, and Wang Hou simply bowed generously to take the official document, and then went back to sleep with the quilt covered.

This sleep lasted until the afternoon, and only after Cao Hongjie, who couldn't bear it, kicked it on his ass, he yawned and got up.

To say that the efficiency of the feudal era is not all slow, at least the slave does things for the master of the family, and his hands and feet are very sharp, and he has studied the drawings given by Wang Hou for a long time, and the last two hairs on his smooth brain are suffocated, not to mention, Wang Tiehammer really created what Wang Hou wanted.

Ten catties of brass were all used, in exchange for a yellow, orange and orange shiny thing placed on Wang Hou's fire, a semicircular bowl, five claws at the bottom, and a copper chimney in the middle of the bowl, which was completely different from the mainstream cooking utensils of this era, and the scraping was strange.

But if another foodie crosses over here, he will be pleasantly surprised.

"Isn't this just a hot pot!"

That's right, what Wang Hou created with great fanfare is really a hot pot.

A few days of old hen soup has already made Wang Hou tired of drinking crooked, he has long wanted to change the taste, eh, everything is for business! He, Wang Hou, is a red heart towards Prime Minister Cao.

Then the pot is there, and the next step is to prepare the ingredients.

I have to thank Zhang Qian here, after his old man went through the Western Regions, he brought the sesame seeds back, so that Wang Hou could have the sesame paste of shabu-shabu, and achieved the foundation of shabu-shabu.

In terms of meat, the sheep that Cao Hongjie moved back from yesterday was slaughtered on the spot, and the fresh mutton was hung in the house for an hour, and then buried in the snow and frozen overnight.

In Cao Hongjie's hundred reluctances, her dagger made of Wuzi steel in the Western Regions was borrowed by Wang Hou and used to slice mutton, no tricks, there was no coke ironmaking and blowers in this era, the quality of the knives was too poor, and there was only this thing to cut frozen mutton, and it was the old housekeeper Wang Fu himself.

Don't say, I don't know if this old guy was an executioner when he was young, or if he was in charge of fish scales, a piece of mutton was cut in his hand as thin as a cicada's wings, and the crystal clear yard was placed on the plate, and the mutton in the pot was the most fragrant.

There are meat slices, and the coagulated mutton blood jelly can also be regarded as a dish, as well as mutton liver slices, the meat is four or five catties, which is enough for a dinner party, but the dishes that Wang Hou didn't care about before crossing were embarrassed at this time.

Sweet potato slices, no, are still lying comfortably in the South American rainforest!

Cornfolds, no, are still basking in the sun comfortably on the North American plains! And even if you find it in this era, it is useless, it is not used to be cultivated by the Indians for hundreds of years, and the corn cob at this time may be smaller than a sheep's hoof.

Cucumbers, there are in this era, but there is nowhere to get them in the cold winter.

Spinach and kidney beans are also available, but in the same way, the Emperor of Layue can't eat them in the cold winter, where can he get them?

In the end, only the radishes stored in the autumn cellar were turned out, and a plate of shredded radishes was cut to make up the number.

"The next time you see Chen Deng, you must remember to ask him for some kelp back!" Pinching the mustache on his chin and looking at the shredded radish on the table, Wang Hou muttered depressedly.

The next one is the highlight, two days ago the clay lime to make tofu stone mill was rinsed, and then Wang Fu bought it back a few days ago, after a series of tossing and processing a bucket of wheat was poured from the top eyelets, or Chen Deng gave an old cow, pulling the grinding disc hey-hey-yo turned up, below, the bran and flour leaked out together.

It's no wonder that flour wasn't popular at the end of the Han Dynasty! It is not delicious to make things with flour with bran, the staple food of European millennium of thousands of years is made directly, one by one, the bite is hard, and it needs to be soaked in soup to be soft before it can be eaten.

However, this foodie was replaced by Wang Hou, and it was a piece of Lu Min light yarn that was worth even the village under his order, and he did not hesitate to tie it to the bamboo ring as a sieve, and more than a dozen weaver girls shook the willow waist and stuffed the sieve in the backyard, and the flour that was ground out was sifted, and the delicate white noodles fell down one after another and fell into the bucket.

Eggs are available at this time, Wang Hou did it himself, flour and water and eggs were rolled out, and the slender hand-rolled noodles fell leisurely on the black ceramic plate in the white flowers on his face.

Looking at the large pile of ingredients on the dinner table, Wang Hou patted the flour on his hand with relief, but before he could appreciate it for a long time, a chill suddenly came from behind him, and he turned his head in amazement, but it was Cao Hongjie's little face that was like a volcano about to erupt.

Gritting her teeth and pointing to the hot pot on a table to serve the dishes, this girl simply roared madly.

"Wang Tuqiu, this is the way you said to check Taicang!!"

A cold sweat broke out on his back, full of sorrow, Wang Hou was just about to wave his hand to explain, but there was a hurried voice from Lao Wang Fu outside the door.

"The head of the family, Yu Cang Rafter has arrived outside the house!"

Yu Bing is here!
