Chapter 132: Barracks Breakfast

The monarchs and ministers talked very happily, and that night, Xu Qing began to stay in Xuanwumen for the first time. It's not bad, maybe it's because Xu Qing's heart is too wide, it feels similar to home, except for no one in his arms.

It is said that Xu Qing, the three-grade official, not only has an official salary, but also 400 stones of rice per year, 9 acres of professional fields, and 38 miscellaneous servants. This job field is estimated to be in that good grange, and Lu rice is to be harvested in the autumn, and new rice will be issued. Of course, Xu Qing is on the job, so naturally he will not let him go to the house to get things.

No, early in the morning, a eunuch sent nine plates of food, and the thing was two boxes of fine rice, eight boxes of japonica rice, four boxes of noodles, and a box of about two catties, that is, twenty catties of rice and four catties of noodles, which should be calculated according to when Xu Qing had thirty-eight miscellaneous servants, but unfortunately Xu Qing has no miscellaneous servants now. The miscellaneous servants of the officials of the Tang Dynasty were not assigned by the government, but were discounted by the imperial court to distribute silver money to the officials. Ordinary officials will use this silver to raise a master and a group of palanquin bearers. And the rice and noodles eaten by this miscellaneous servant are also supplied by the imperial court.

In addition, I actually sent one and a half liters of wine, four points of mutton, and all of them are good leg meat, four boxes of sauce, four boxes of vinegar, three melons, all of which are white melons, salt, soy bean, green onions, ginger, sunflowers, leeks and the like, three cents and a half cents of incense, three catties of charcoal.

Seeing that the eunuch brought so many things, Xu Qing felt a little fresh. It turned out that in Cangzhou, the entire warehouse was in Xu Qing's own hands, and except for the neighbors who lived together, few people sent things.

Seeing this, Zhao Gong also knew that Xu Qing didn't know the rules of the palace, and explained: "Lord Xu, don't you know, the closer this official is to the emperor, the more difficult it is to be a good official, but the face of these various things is richer." For example, on this day, the officials outside are all uniformly folded into rice, and the Beijing officials will give money, and the officials in the palace will send these salts and green onions, which are used by the emperor and are the best. ”

Xu Qing looked at the box one by one and said, "Zhao Gong, you can take these things down, we can't finish eating anyway, so we will send some soldiers stationed here." Eh, wait, I'll ...... myself."

Xu Qing checked it, left behind Zhao Gong's daily needs, and the rest were mentioned in the barracks. This barracks was for the sergeants on duty to eat, and there was another room for accommodation.

At this time, I really saw the sergeants eating breakfast, eating pork bone soup and scones.

"Oops, General Xu is here!"

There was a sound of armor rubbing, and all the sergeants stood up and arched their hands: "See General Xu!" ”

"Sit down, everybody." Xu Qing smiled and said: "Alas, I'm ashamed to say it, I didn't fire in that place, so I can only go to the camp to fight with you for breakfast, don't worry about bringing myself, I won't shorten you." ”

Seeing that Xu Qing didn't put up a fight, the sergeants also smiled. Zhuge Yan came over, and also arched his hand: "The last general will see Lord Xu, everyone has a mess of dinner, and I hope the general will forgive his sins." ”

Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, everyone is full." General Zhuge , how many seats are there here?

If he couldn't even find a seat, then Zhuge Yan was really stupid, and he immediately said, "General Xu, please." ”

Xu Qing sat down, picked up a piece of scone and sent it to his mouth, the scone was coated with lard, and it tasted fragrant, but it was a little sour and a little hard. That's because the wheat was not processed well, so Xu Qing scooped another bowl of soup and ate cakes with the soup, and the taste was right.

Who knows, Xu Qing finished eating a scone here, but the people around him were stunned.

Zhao Gong saw that Xu Qing had finished eating a cake, and there was still a sentence in his mouth, "Master, this cake can't be eaten" and didn't come out. Why can't I eat it? You think, this is coarse grain, Xu Qing is a member of the three grades, you said that the members of the three grades went down to the grassroots level to inspect and take a look at the dishes on the table. If it's good, say that the food is good, and if it's not good, say that everyone has worked hard. At most, take a bite of food, the three products eat a bite of food in the grassroots canteen, and say something that everyone wants to praise, but you, Lord Xu, ate a whole one, not to mention anything else, Zhao Gong really felt sorry for Xu Qing's mouth.

The surrounding soldiers also saw it, and saw that Xu Qing really ate a scone, and they all didn't believe it, but they couldn't find where Xu Qing hid the scone. Could it be that today's scones taste better? The soldiers took a bite and found that the scones in their hands had not become delicious.

Xu Qing also noticed something unusual, and was about to take another hand, retracted it and asked, "Why are you looking at me, eating,"

Zhuge Yan's face suddenly became kinder than before at this time, and he said to everyone: "The general has an order, why don't you eat quickly?" ”

Xu Qing also said: "Look at it, I will eat it first." Xu Qing was really hungry, so he picked up a fragrant scone and disturbed: "Zhao Gong, you sit down and eat, and wait for me to serve it to you." ”

Zhao Gong hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and when he sat down, he picked up a scone cake suspiciously, and said in his heart, could it be that there is a small stove here? As a result, a bite, oops, it's not as good as the eunuchs in the palace. But it is not as good as the emperor's mother in the palace, as soon as she eats, she sets up several tables, and there are many slightly worse good dishes that are not on the table, so she fattens the eunuchs in the palace.

However, seeing Xu Qing eating happily, Zhao Gong also saw that he had an appetite, and he also ate patiently. At last the soldiers had seen enough, and they also bit the bread in their hands vigorously, and this time, they found that the bread in their hands had become more delicious.

The soldiers finished eating one by one, and then one by one came in, and it turned out that this was a flowing water mat.

Someone in the back kitchen took back all the things sent by Xu Qing, and then Zhao Gong came over and secretly asked Xu Qingdao: "Lord Xu, what should I do in the future?" ”

Xu Qing was puzzled and asked, "What will I do after that?" ”

Zhao Gong said with a bitter face: "Let's come here to eat in the future?" Alas, Lord Xu, you are a member of the three grades, how can you eat here every day. If you let the concubine know, you won't beat me to death."

Xu Qing saw through Zhao Gong's thoughts at a glance and asked, "It's because you're not used to eating the food here, right?" Hmph, you......"

Zhao Gong was suddenly embarrassed, lowered his head, Xu Qing looked at him and said, "Okay, I won't come here to eat in the future." Xu Qing felt that Zhao Gong might be eating a little more nutritious when he was "growing his body".

"But what if these things are delivered every day?"

"Lord Xu, let's bring one more subordinate with you, either take these things out and sell them every day, or you can let the imperial dining room directly rectify it for you."

Hearing the end, Xu Qing's eyes lit up and asked, "Is it appropriate to send it to the imperial dining room?" ”

"That's right, there are also eunuchs who can cook that they bought themselves, and they are all in the imperial dining room. Of course, it's not as good as what the emperor eats......" Zhao Gong replied: "However, you can't eat so many things, what if there are too many, it's a pity to lose it." ”

After thinking for a while, Xu Qing said: "If the food can't be eaten, put it first, and those seasonings will be sent to the barracks." Eating their meal today, I felt that the taste was less. ”

Zhao Gong agreed at the moment and returned: "Lord Xu's heart is true and kind......

At this time, there was a humane outside:

"Lord Xu, here's a letter from your family."
