Chapter Ninety-Seven: Lumi
At the side gate of the Xiyang County Mansion, many carts are lined up, and the young people are unloading bags of rice from the car to transport them to the house, which is the Lu rice of Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, and the Lu rice of Bazhou Thorn Shi Yu Wenwen.
The housekeeper Li Sanjiu commanded the servants to be busy, and the amount of Lumi in the warehouse was not trivial, but the number of them must be accurate, and he had to supervise the scene to avoid any mistakes, as the butler with full power, he was responsible for the unloading to the inventory.
The rice delivered today is only a part, and the rest will be delivered one after another in the next few days, so he and the servants of the mansion still have to work.
Bags of rice were transported into the granary of the house, and after the rice was poured out, the bags had to be recycled and taken away.
First of all, the quantity can not be wrong, and then the quality of each bag of rice must also be checked, first of all, it can not be short of two catties, and secondly, there can be no sand mixing, around the problem of grain storage (whether public or private), the method of delivery and receipt has been fighting for thousands of years.
Of course, it stands to reason that no one dares to commit a crime under the nose of Yuwen Envoy, and Tian Yuansheng and others, who dare to blow up Mao, 'hit the street' with their whole family, but Li Sanjiu still fulfills his duties and wants to ensure that the quantity and quality of the Lu rice in the warehouse are qualified.
The housekeeper Li Sanjiu is leading the people to be busy, the deputy head of the guard, Fu Youcai, is also leading the people to be busy, Li Sanjiu is preventing thieves, and Fu Youcai is also preventing thieves, but he is preventing thieves from fishing in troubled waters.
Grain unloading, warehousing, strangers in and out of the mansion are a lot more, and it is also a good opportunity for some thieves to sneak into the mansion, Fu Youcai and a group of guards are like a great enemy, a pair of eyes staring at every young man who enters and exits.
Regardless of stealing chickens and dogs, Fu Youcai can know that there are people who have been lurking in the city, and those people are masters sent by 'Ye Xiao', if these people are touched into the mansion, it is second to frighten the female dependents, and the personal safety of the lord of Lang is threatened.
In view of this, the Xiyang County Mansion is heavily guarded, and the passages in many key areas have been closed, and the traps of the passages in various places are opened or closed according to the new plan.
The path you can walk is very different from what you usually do.
In the terminology of later games: the map has been updated, and players are welcome to team up to challenge the Xiyang County Mansion dungeon.
The inner courtyard was also arranged accordingly, and the healthy women waited in the main passages with sticks in hand, lest a thief jump in and start the female dependents, and the two little Langjun who had just passed a year old could not be frightened.
Of course, Fu You only knew that the prevention of the outer courtyard was the top priority, if the young people took the wrong path, the guards showed the way, and if anyone sneaked into it, there were sticks to serve.
The work of unloading grain into the warehouse is carried out in an orderly manner, and this time there are not only Lu rice of Xiyang County Gong and Bazhou Thorn History, but also two other officials: Bazhou Sima Yangji, Bazhou Lord Bo Zhengtong, these two live in the side courtyard of Xiyang County Mansion, so Lu rice is also transported.
The grade of Zhou Sima Yang Ji is five lives, and the price of Lu is two thousand stones, but this Yang Sima is alone, and he doesn't even have a personal servant, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation are arranged by the mansion, so he doesn't want Lu rice, and all of them go into the treasury of the mansion.
The rank of the governor Bo Zhengtong is three lives, and the rank of Yulu is five hundred stones. Because a family of four lived in the Xiyang County Mansion, Zheng Tong originally planned to return Lu Mi to the treasury according to Yang Ji, but Yu Wenwen refused on the grounds that "you are not a bachelor".
Zheng Tong's family was taken care of by Yuwen Wen for more than a year, and the money and food needed for food and accommodation did not have to be paid out by themselves, and he paid off his debts according to his own situation, a family of four was two large and two small, and the rations were about six stones in January, and Zheng Tong's family had to repay Yuwen Wen one hundred stone rice based on other expenses.
"Mr. Zheng, Lord Lang said that it doesn't have to be like this." Li Sanjiu said to Zheng Tong, who was 'ordering' together, Zheng Tong smiled when he heard this, and said that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and Yuwen has taken good care of his family for more than a year, and he can't take advantage of it.
Zheng Tong has an official position and Lumi, and it is said that he should also 'get acquainted' and move out of the mansion and find a courtyard to settle the family down, but Yuwen Wen understands this master who has too many enemies, and 'graciously retains' Zheng Tong to continue to live in the side courtyard of the mansion.
Yuwenwen asked Zheng Tong to deal with the officials, and he didn't know how many 'little ghosts' he had offended, even if he was walking at night, he had to prevent being beaten by someone, seeing that this person who was unaccompanied in Xiyang City did not take care of him, Yuwenwen let his family continue to live in the side courtyard just in case.
"Zheng Zhubo, where is this rice transported?" A clerk asked, Zheng Tong heard the words and led him to the side courtyard where he lived, while the young men followed behind with a wheelbarrow, and Li Sanjiu motioned for two servants to follow to help.
Fu Youcai also motioned for the two guards to follow: "Pay attention to staring, don't let people fish in troubled waters and lurk......
In the backyard, Yu Wenwen was in Xiao Jiuniang's room, and now it was lunch time, and he was dining with the pregnant side room.
"If you don't eat, you can't eat, come, open your mouth" Yu Wenwen turned into a little nanny, and sandwiched a piece of chicken and sent it to Xiao Jiuniang's mouth, this pregnant woman drank too much chicken soup on weekdays, and now she is anorexic.
Xiao Jiuniang ate the chicken fed by her husband himself, covered her mouth and said that she couldn't eat it anymore, she ate a chicken at two ends in three days, she wanted to vomit when she smelled the smell now, it was better to eat more sour radish appetizing.
"That's to make up for the baby in the womb, you can't eat it." Yu Wenwen sandwiched another piece of chicken, "Don't eat too much sour radish, your stomach will not be able to stand it." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Jiuniang said with happiness, her appetite has increased greatly after she is pregnant, especially acid-evocative, and there is an 'old sour altar' in the house to supply sour radish, pickled cucumber, capers, etc.
It is also a shame that there have been two pregnant before, and the kitchen is already very experienced in making sour food, half of the 'produced' sour food was consumed by Xiao Jiuniang, and the remaining half was solved by Yuwen Eying, a snack goods.
Xiao Jiuniang is very happy these days, firstly, her husband returns to the house after going out, and she will come to talk to her every day to relieve her boredom, and secondly, there is a letter from her mother's family, which alleviates her homesickness.
"What did A-Niang say in the letter?" Yu Wenwen asked, Xiao Jiuniang's uncle Zhang Ke returned to Jiangling in Liang State and found a suitable time to tell his parents about Xiao Jiuniang's situation, so Yu Wenwen's cheap parents-in-law already knew that Xiao Jiuniang was 'small' with him.
"A-Niang told the concubine to pay attention to her body and eat more" Xiao Jiuniang remembered that her mother was very moved by her concern for herself in the letter, she was sent out of the palace soon after she was born, and only returned to the palace to see her parents after more than ten years.
"So, it's not that my husband is unreasonable, A-Niang has told me, it's not okay if you don't eat it" Yu Wenwen finished speaking and put a bowl of chicken soup in front of Xiao Jiuniang, and at the same time moved those sour radishes, pickled cucumbers and the like away.
Seeing Xiao Jiuniang drinking chicken soup honestly, Yu Wenwen also began to move his chopsticks, and in front of him were a few 'Juxia Langjun', these boiled crabs were as beautiful as bread.
These are all crabs that he packed back from Cehu, and he thought that he could feast on his family, but as a result, these Juxia Langjun were left out in the cold, and in the end, only Yuwenwen solved it himself.
Mrs. Yu Chi Chifan and Yang Lihua grew up in Chang'an, and their original eating habits were not based on aquatic products, of course, there is no shortage of fish in Weishui near Chang'an, and they have no psychological burden on eating fish, but crabs are different.
This is not hypocrisy, eating crabs is unacceptable for many people, and even some people in the north still hang 'hideous-looking' crabs at the door to ward off evil spirits, Yang Lihua doesn't even dare to eat with Yuwen Eying.
Only Xiao Jiuniang, who grew up by the Yangtze River, can accept it, but pregnant women are not suitable for eating crabs, so the crabs brought back by Yuwenwen from Cehu can only be solved by themselves.
Of course, his stomach has been waiting for a long time.
There are many ways to eat crabs, in this era, the popular "Tibetan crab method", which is a way to eat pickled crabs, of course, there are some bold ones that are dipped in condiments and eaten raw, and there is a tall way to eat called "deer tail crab roe".
Yu Wenwen didn't want to pickle or make any "deer tail crab roe" because it was too troublesome, and he didn't want to eat raw to provoke parasites, his favorite was naturally steamed in clear water and eaten, after all, the mainstream way of eating hairy crabs in Chengyang Lake in later generations was like this.
The crabs packed back are raised in clean water, and after they spit out the sludge, they are washed and steamed in the pot, of course, the steamed crabs are alive and jumping, and those who are dead should be thrown away, and the dead crabs will accumulate toxic substances in their bodies, and Yuwenwen doesn't want to die young.
There are a lot of particularities to eat crabs elegantly, especially the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake have to be accompanied by "eight crabs", Yuwenwen doesn't care about eating, anyway, this crab is not produced in Yangcheng Lake.
I don't pay so much attention to it in my own home, although I have prepared the corresponding utensils for my wives and concubines, but Yu Wenwen doesn't want to use it, and the food is ugly, but it tastes very happy.
Break off the crab's figure-of-eight feet and two tongs, remove the crab cover, open the crab cover, scoop out the crab stomach in the middle of the crab cover with a small spoon, and suck up the crab roe wrapped outside, leaving the triangular cone-shaped crab stomach to be thrown away.
Next is the crab body, remove the hexagonal crab heart in the middle, use a small spoon to eat the crab roe and crab paste on the crab body, and then break the crab body in half to eat the crab meat cleanly.
The rest are crab legs and crab claws, and the elegant way to eat is to use crab scissors, Yuwen Wen gnawed directly with his teeth, and ate with relish, and quickly killed one, and then the second one.
A few crabs in the dish were swept away, Yuwen Wen burped contentedly, he had a lot of crabs for a few days, but the cholesterol content in the crab roe was quite high, and he had to control the amount of food he ate every day no matter how greedy he was.
"What's wrong?" Yu Wenwen asked, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Jiuniang looking like she wanted to speak and stopped, as if she had something on her mind.
Xiao Jiuniang saw that her husband was in a good mood, and finally mustered up the courage to speak for a while, she said that A-Niang mentioned in the letter that she wanted to send someone to take care of her, and Xiao Jiuniang wanted to ask if it was okay.
'Send someone to take care of it?' Are you afraid that I will bully your daughter? Yu Wenwen complained in his heart, he didn't want to accept it very much, after all, there were hidden dangers from a safety point of view, and it would not be good if it was an old woman of the type of 'Mama Rong'.
Thinking so, he saw Xiao Jiuniang's expression of expectation, weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and then nodded in agreement, Xiao Jiuniang was overjoyed when he saw this, seeing that the beauty missed her family so much, Yuwenwen sighed in his heart.
'Poor alas, I have been separated from my parents since I was a child, and I was raised by my uncle and aunt, no wonder I am homesick. He thought so to himself, and when the maid came in to clean up the table, a question suddenly came to mind.
In history, Xiao married Chang'an and became the Jin princess of Yang Guang, the king of Jin in the Sui Kingdom, and her mother, Empress Zhang, was worried that her daughter would have no relatives in the distance, so she sent her widowed sister to accompany Xiao.
This Zhang is also the princess of the Liang Kingdom, widowed at a young age, and it is also a double win to accompany her niece, and later even Xiao's uncle Zhang Ke also went to Chang'an to be an official, and the two are Xiao's maiden family in Chang'an.
The appearance of Empress Zhang of Liang Country is also outstanding, and with the appearance of Xiao Jiuniang's mother and daughter, she pushes it back, and Queen Zhang's sister, that is, Xiao Jiuniang's aunt, does not look bad, so the question comes: if it is this one
Could it be that something will happen that the masses like to see? (To be continued.) )
