Chapter Thirty-Eight: Try Stir-frying
Chapter Thirty-Eight: Try Stir-frying
After settling down Xun Xue'er and Shangguan Yi, life began to return to calm, and Xu Qing finally had time to summarize his life in the past few months, of course, the most important thing was to count money. I took the swords and armor that I scavenged on the battlefield as a part, and I left two pairs of armor, a few good swords, and a horse lance, and the others actually made a fortune for two hundred taels of silver. The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was relatively open, and the common people could also hold swords, but everyone regarded the sword as an ornament, and it became a trend for a while.
In addition, the few horses that were ridden back in the barracks, as well as the carriage, could be regarded as Xu Qing's. The most important thing is to add officials to the knighthood, this is an iron rice bowl, and now Xu Qing's official title is Xiao Cavalry Captain Zhenwei Captain Incisor General, and when the Hebei war situation is completely over, these grades will rise a little. Xiao Cavalry Captain is the sixth grade, and the imperial court distributes Yu Lu according to this level, 28 taels of silver per year, and 95 stone of grain.
Xu Qing is still a front tooth general, although it is very likely to be taken back in the future, but according to the current situation, there are still 400 acres of vocational land, and the vocational field is to count the rent in the field as wages, which is like the Tang Dynasty company divides a little share dividend to officials, and then dividends on time are considered wages.
There is also 26 taels of silver for slaves, and there is no money for raising slaves with public funds, not counting the various subordinates directly sent from above. This salary is equivalent to an annual salary of more than 300,000 in later generations, which can be said to be very good, but it is still a big gap compared with that of the Song Dynasty, which is only less than one-tenth of that of the Song Dynasty. But fortunately, Xu Qing is relatively easy to satisfy, and it's okay to lie at home and eat the mountain. But in the hands of Xu Qing's son, this property is definitely going to be bad, and he will attack a nine-rank official at most.
Xu Qing thinks that this life is enough, but he still has to save an industry for his son, my son has a really good life, he was born as a rich second generation, an official second generation, and a second generation of clothes. Xu Qing also touched his face very narcissistically, and praised him: "With Xun Xue'er's genes passed on, he is still a handsome guy, who has such a good life, and he was reincarnated as my son......"
After counting the money locked in the room, Xu Qing walked out of the room with a comfortable face, as if he had done some kind of self-entertaining work.
"Young master, it's time to eat......" Xiao Yue waited for Xu Qing to come out, and called softly.
"Okay, what's going on today?" Xu Qing asked, in fact, he didn't want to ask, after entering July, most of the green vegetables were only left with old leaves, and they could only eat melons every day.
"The young master has instructed you to eat egg ......noodles today," Satsuki said.
"Oh, yes, yes, egg noodles, I'll see how you make it..."Xu Qingxing rushed to the table and waited for Xiao Yue to bring it.
"Young master, please use it slowly, I also sent Sister Xun's to me, only the young master didn't eat it." If other landlords heard it, they would be furious, what, the master didn't eat, and you were all full of food and drink! Xu Qing didn't care about this, but he looked at the egg noodles in front of him and was very puzzled:
"Where's the egg?"
"Put the egg in the dough......"
"Then why didn't I see it?"
"Poof, the young master laughed, the egg has been kneaded into the dough, of course I can't see it." Xiao Yue didn't understand Xu Qing's words, she just thought he was joking.
"Alas, tsk, it seems that the young master is going to go to the kitchen himself." Xu Qing sighed and said, Xiao Ru Xiaoyue is twelve points hard, but they can't think of things that have been gradually invented for hundreds of years.
"Less... The young master ......" Xiaoyue's face turned red, and the master said that he was going to cook by himself, isn't this the biggest criticism of her.
"Xiaoyue, you don't have to be like this, I didn't say you're bad, it's just that there is a dish, you can't make ......" Xu Qing said busily An Xiaoyue.
"Young master, the slave knows that the slave is wrong, the slave is useless......" Xiao Yue lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her clothes with her two hands.
"Alas, it's not that you're bad, you see me eating noodles, okay?" Xu Qing took a bite of the noodles, which was not bad, and the noodles with eggs tasted even more chewy.
"The young master is the best, what else does the young master want to eat, the slave maid will make it for you......"
"Hmm...... Take me to the kitchen......"
"Young Master...... Young master, you are a nobleman, how can you enter the kitchen......"
"It's okay, isn't it just the kitchen...... A person's nobility lies in his spirit, not in his outer body. After Xu Qing finished speaking, he strode to the kitchen, which he had only entered on the first day when he looked at the house. Xiao Yue couldn't stop it, so she ran to report Xun Xue'er.
Xu Qing glanced at the kitchen and saw two large stoves, the stoves were made of mud, and there were four or five bundles of firewood next to them. There is an iron pot on the stove, one of which has a steaming drawer on it, which is used to make steamed cakes, and the other is covered with a lid, which is used to cook vegetables and soup cakes.
Xu Qing opened the lid of the pot, it was not bad, it was clean. Then Xu Qing began to look for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as eggs, and it seemed that those dishes in later generations could not make too much. Xu Qing secretly swore that he would make more money, find someone who was not afraid of death to row a boat to America, and dig some potatoes and peppers for me to come back.
The oil found a jar of clear oil, Xu Qingle, this is one of the healthiest oils. A person is tinkering in the kitchen, everything is ready, holding the flint but not lighting the fire, watching the TV Bei Ye casually knock three times and there is a lot of sparks, why can't I light it.
"Poof, I'm it, your young master can't even light a fire......" Xun Xue'er couldn't help laughing behind Xu Qing, it seemed that she had been peeping there for a while.
"Okay, Xun Nizi, you dare to laugh at me...... Hmph, don't come to help yet. Xu Qing pretended to be angry.
"Sister Xun, hurry up and persuade the young master, he is a nobleman, where can he do this...... Now only you will listen to him......" Xiao Yue said while holding Xun Xue'er's hand.
"Sister Xiaoyue, you don't know yet, your young master is different from others, you go out, I'll help your young master do it." Xun Xue'er said with a smile, Xu Qing liked it very much when she heard this, this is a good wife, stand by the side of me.
But Xiaoyue didn't think so, she thought: It's over! Sister Xun is going crazy together, if this spreads, I think we are evil slaves and bullying masters! It's okay, beat it to death with a stick! Who to persuade you, Xiaoru? Xu Qi? No, looking for them will only make it more chaotic, Xun Yeyu, it's even worse, he is more unreliable than Xu Qi, Shangguan Yi, yes, Shangguan Yi is a scholar and must understand reason.
Xiaoyue hurriedly went out to find Shangguanyi, Xu Qing and Xun Xue'er were busy in the kitchen, and after a while, the two fried eggs were ready. Xu Qing loaded the plate by the stove, tore off a small piece and tasted it first, well, it's not bad. Then he tore off another piece and handed it to Xun Xue'er's mouth. Xun Xue'er saw that Xu Qing did this, and she was a little afraid to eat it, this is second, the key is that Xu Qing's chopsticks were used by him just now, and there are Xu Qing's ...... Could it be an indirect kiss? Xun Xue'er's happiness was mixed with pain, and she ate a piece of fried egg, but she didn't taste it.
"How's it going, is it delicious?"
"Well, it's a good ......" Xun Xue'er still had a word to eat before she could speak, and Shangguan Yi came to the kitchen door and yelled:
"Phew! You're here for a private meeting! ”
