"Donkey, those cheap slaves just now really deserve to die!" Cheng Di said quite dissatisfied.

"Okay, no nonsense, let's go to the kitchen to clean up these two mandarin ducks, a certain parent has never eaten mandarin duck meat at such an age, let alone such a fat mandarin duck." Cheng Chubi said with a smile: "Cheng Tian, you go to light the fire, Cheng Di, you go to fetch water." ”

"Horse, gentleman is far away from cooking, your identity is not suitable to enter the kitchen." Cheng Di hurriedly said.

"We're all starving to death, and there's so much nonsense, hurry up." Cheng Chubi rolled his eyes and said, "Besides, do you think this pony will enter the kitchen?" Joke! It's the two of you who are going into the kitchen! ”

"Yes, yes......" Cheng Tian responded, and quickly carried two mandarin ducks into the kitchen, while Cheng Di took a wooden bucket, came to the edge of a well, tied the bucket to the rope, and threw it down, only to hear a "bang", and the bucket fell on the surface of the water with a loud sound. Then Cheng Di began to shake the pole, and in less than a minute, a bucket of water was fetched.

"That's how you usually get water?" Cheng Chubi walked over, looked down, and frowned slightly, the groundwater here is not deep, why do you still use such a primitive method of taking water?

"Yes, the whole Datang takes water like this." Cheng Di said.

"Don't have a pump?" Cheng Chubi was a little puzzled, it was so shallow, it should be possible to use a water pump.

"What the hell is this pump?" Cheng Di showed a look of doubt in his eyes, he had never heard of this thing.

Cheng Chubi didn't know that in this era, it was good to have a well in the house, who still had the spare money to get a pump? In some places, the people of a village use a well together, as for other advanced things, let alone water pumps, even if someone can come up with it, no one can make it, after all, in this era, it is a problem to have enough food, who has time to think about it?

Only when you have a full meal can you have the mind to invent things, why can China's science and technology dominate the world during the Ming Dynasty? That's because there were many well-fed people in the Ming Dynasty, the economy was prosperous, and life was good, so they had the intention to make inventions.

"Forget it, I'll talk to Chai Lingyu about this matter in the evening, and then I'll roast the mandarin ducks first." Cheng Chubi thought for a while and said.

A few minutes later, the two mandarin ducks were dehaired by Cheng Tiancheng, hollowed out the internal organs, and the fat mandarin ducks, one is more than a catty, and the artificially bred ones are indeed fatter and more tender than the wild ones.

"You go pick some lotus leaves and come back, and then come back with ten catties of dirt." Cheng Chubi pointed at Cheng Tian and said, "And you first marinate these two mandarin ducks in wine for a while, then coat them with soy sauce, put some cumin from Cheng's family, by the way, break a few pieces of ginger and put them in the mandarin duck's stomach, and then put some green onions, hurry up." ”

"Yes!"

The two of them responded, and quickly moved, after a stick of incense, the mandarin ducks wrapped in lotus leaves and soil were put into the raging flames, and the three of them waited quietly beside them.

That's right, what Cheng Chubi is doing now is the flower mandarin duck that will be popular throughout the Tang Dynasty! You can't do it by calling a flower chicken, but you can do it with a flower mandarin duck.

Almost an hour later, Cheng Chubi ordered people to pick out the two large lumps of dirt from the fire, the soil had been roasted dry and hard, and when he knocked it with wood, he heard a sound one after another.

"Cooked!" Cheng Chubi was overjoyed, quickly knocked the soil, and then opened it, the fat mandarin duck meat was already cooked, exuding a stream of fragrance.

Cheng Chubi broke off a piece and ate it, the taste was really not ordinary cool, pure natural and pollution-free green food. Cheng Di and Cheng Tian watched from the side, constantly swallowing their saliva.

"What are you eating, what are you watching me do?" Cheng Chubi glared at the two and said.

"The villain doesn't dare!"

The master's family has not eaten enough, and as a slave, they can't eat, and even if they do, they can only eat what is left over from the master's family, so Cheng Chubi told them to eat, but they really didn't dare to eat.

"Well, another one called the Mandarin Duck will be given to you." Cheng Chubi said with a smile, and then took his own one and walked towards the study, thinking about things while eating, and he didn't feel that the mandarin duck that had just come out was hot.

Cheng Tiancheng hurriedly followed, with joy in his eyes.

When night was about to fall, Chai Lingyu, who was dressed in military uniform, finally came back from outside, sitting at the dinner table, Cheng Chubi's brows furrowed slightly.

The dinner at night was very talkative, except for some nests, I couldn't even see a piece of meat, Cheng Chubi couldn't help frowning slightly, is this giving me a horse?

"What are you doing today?" Cheng Chubi picked up a nest and gnawed it, these nests were quite unpalatable, and Cheng Chubi felt that it was difficult to eat when it was a snack.

"Barracks." Chai Lingyu said lightly.

"Can't you be like an ordinary woman at home with a husband and children?" Cheng Chubi said with some dissatisfaction.

"You should have understood when you were still Ben General, Ben Jiang is not an ordinary woman!" Chai Lingyu glanced at Cheng Chubi and said.

"Forget it, there's not much point in arguing with you about this, just do whatever you like." Cheng Chubi stroked his forehead with a headache and said, "By the way, how much money do we have in our family?" ”

"This ...... Ben didn't know. Chai Lingyu frowned slightly, and then said to the maid beside her, "Go, call the chief steward." ”

The maid went out, and a few minutes later, the head of the princess's mansion came, it was someone from the Chai family, an old woman in her forties, her name was Chai Hou, a very man's name, and she was also very thick, it was simply the Tang Dynasty version of Rong Mama.

"Back to the princess, there are still 1,000 taels of gold, 1,000 pieces of cloth, 100 horses of silk, 100,000 yuan of money, as well as some gold and silver utensils, jewels and pearls, all of which have not yet been counted, and the CD was given by His Majesty when the princess got married." Mama Chai said.

"What does 100,000 mean?" Cheng Chubi is still a little unclear about the unit of measurement of this world.

"Returning to the horse is 100,000 yuan." The woman who looked like Mama Rong said.

"How much money is it consistently?" Cheng Chubi asked.

"A thousand texts." The other party replied.

"A thousand texts? Then send me a hundred pounds tomorrow. Cheng Chubi said.

Hearing Cheng Chubi's words, Chai Hou's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and he looked at Chai Lingyu, obviously she didn't want to give this money.

"Give it to her." Chai Lingyu said lightly.

"Yes, Princess."

"Are there any craftsmen in our house? Preferably a blacksmith or coppersmith. Cheng Chubi asked.

"Yes." Chai Lingyu said.

"How's the technology?" Cheng Chubi asked.

"They built all my ordnance, you say?" Chai Lingyu asked rhetorically.

"Send me a few craftsmen tomorrow, I'll be useful." Cheng Chubi said.

Chai Hou looked at Chai Lingyu again.

"Give it to him!" Chai Lingyu said, looked at Cheng Chubi, and said, "I heard that you killed the mandarin duck in the pool today." ”

"Actually, what I want to kill today is someone!" Cheng Chubi stared at the woman, said gloomily, and then stood up: "From tomorrow onwards, I must eat white rice or white noodles, and there must be meat and wine!" Three meals a day must be at least three dishes and one soup, I am Shang's princess, not in prison! ”

As he spoke, he strode outside.
