Xuan Shijing's young age, although he didn't come to Zhuangzi many times, but when he came into contact with the Zhuang farmers on the Zhuangzi, he always looked approachable, there was no Hou Ye's shelf, and the Zhuang farmers could also chat, the old man heard Xuan Shijing mention the matter of farming with Yuan Shoucheng in Longxi in the past, and he was also indignant in his heart, what a good child, how could he be plotted by a traitor, leaving aside the identity of Xuan Shijing's marquis, even if he was his own grandson, when he was four years old, he grew up peacefully and healthily under the care of his parents.

"Master Hou, forgive the old man's words, Lord Hou might as well live in the house on our Zhuangzi, in Chang'an City, it's good, it's just too chaotic, now our Tang Dynasty is strong, Chang'an City is the capital of our Tang Dynasty, what three religions and nine streams go to Chang'an City, it's too chaotic, it's better for our Zhuangzi, at least, it can be clean."

Xuan Shijing smiled: "Yes, the old man is right, our Zhuangzi is good, but now is not the time." ”

Hearing this, the old man scratched his head with a smile, he was a cropper, he really couldn't understand the messy things in Chang'an City, he was very simple-minded, as long as he took care of his crops in this acre and three points of land, it was the biggest thing.

"Uncle, is there any pure land on this Zhuangzi? The scenery is better, and I plan to take the people from the house out tomorrow for a walk. Xuan Shijing asked.

"Yes, the artificially dug lake on our Zhuangzi is a good place, and now those peach trees by the lake are also blooming, which is very beautiful. Now there is a wharf built on the edge of the lake, and in autumn, many people in our Zhuangzi will row a small boat to the lake to cast such a net, hehe, sometimes with good luck, you can also net a few fat fish. ”

Xuan Shijing nodded, the artificial lake has really not been there, I have long heard that it is built quite well, and there are peach trees planted around the lake, including on both sides of the canal.

There are small boats in the artificial lake, it is out of Xuan Shijing's expectations, I didn't expect this outing, but also on the lake to go boating, although the artificial lake on the Zhuangzi does not have the scenery of Xuanwu Lake, but it is better to be clean, not like Xuanwu Lake to the beginning of spring seems to be crowded.

After sitting on the ridge and chatting with the old man for a while, Xuan Shijing looked at the sky, then said goodbye to the old man and rode back to Chang'an City.

Back at the Hou Mansion, Xuan Shijing informed the Wang family that he was going to travel tomorrow, and then returned to the study by himself.

If it weren't for the old man on the Zhuangzi in the afternoon who said that the peach blossoms had bloomed, Xuan Shijing would not have noticed that the peach blossom trees in the courtyard of his study were really a little pink, but they were always busy coming and going on weekdays, and they didn't have time to stop to watch the scenery around them, but they lived up to this great scenery.

After reading a book in the study for a while, I subconsciously wanted to ask Long'er to go to the kitchen to prepare some food, only to find that Long'er was no longer in the Hou Mansion.

Xuan Shijing laughed at himself: "It's been so long, and I'm still not used to it." ”

The landlord's life has been going on for a long time, and he is really corrupt, and everyone around him who helps to do things feels uncomfortable and degenerate.

But now it seems that there is no one around, and it is really inconvenient, so it is better to find a suitable person to follow you.

With an empty stomach, Xuan Shijing could only put down the books in his hand and went to the kitchen to forage for food by himself.

It was already night, and the two people in the kitchen had already gone back to rest, but at this time, the kitchen door was empty, and there was no one inside, Xuan Shijing pushed open the kitchen door and walked in.

The stove was cold, Xuan Shijing looked around, there has never been food left in the house, and if the meal made that night is not finished by the main family, it will be left for the people below to share and eat, so at this time, there are cold steamed buns in the kitchen, and there is nothing else.

There is refined lard on the board next to the stove, eat stir-fried vegetables, Chang'an City Houfu is still the only one, and it is also Xuan Shijing who told the people in the kitchen to say that the fat of pork can be cut off, cut into small pieces, and put it in the pot to refine into lard, so in this way, the food in Houfu will naturally be a little more fragrant than other people's homes.

Xuan Shijing picked up two steamed buns and pinched them with his hands, the temperature at night was still very low, the steamed buns were frozen hard in the kitchen, he walked to the board with two steamed buns, picked up a kitchen knife, and cut the steamed buns horizontally into slices.

After cutting it, he squatted in front of the stove, carefully lit the fire, opened the lid of the pot, boiled the bottom of the pot dry, picked up the clay pot containing the lard, and scooped a spoonful of lard into it.

After the lard was heated, it exuded a strong fragrance, and the hunger in the stomach was even worse, Xuan Shijing took two steamed bread slices, put them in the pot, and kept turning them with long chopsticks.

Gradually, the two sides of the steamed bread slices appeared golden yellow, and after a while, Xuan Shijing took out the fried steamed bread slices, scooped a spoonful of lard into the pot, and then put another steamed bread slices in.

Although it is not good to eat such greasy food at night, but this thing is made, it is indeed fragrant, one bite down, crispy and crispy, golden crispy on the outside, and hot on the inside, it has become soft, and it is really crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

There are also some small pickles in the kitchen, this thing has been pickled a long time ago, put it in the jar, this thing is very durable after pickling, and in the morning you only need to take it out of the jar and put it on the plate to eat.

Xuan Shijing found a small bowl, fished out some pickles from the jar, and took the fried golden steamed bread slices, nested in the kitchen, and ate two whole steamed buns.

As soon as Xuan Shijing finished eating, the kitchen door was pushed open, and the guards of the Hou Mansion who were patrolling the night walked in, and when they saw that the person in the kitchen was Xuan Shijing, they relaxed and bowed to Xuan Shijing.

"Master Hou."

Xuan Shijing knew that he made a lot of noise in the kitchen, which alarmed the guards who were patrolling the night, and it was normal, so he took the towel on the side and wiped his mouth, Xuan Shijing stood up and said to the guards: "It's okay, I felt a little hungry just now, come to the kitchen to get some food, by the way, you are all here, just help put out the fire under the stove, I'll go back to the room first." ”

"Yes, Master Hou." Two guards answered.

Xuan Shijing nodded, then flicked the hem of his clothes and left the kitchen, leaving the two guards in the kitchen to smell the residual fragrance in the air.

In the middle of the night, who is not hungry, but I didn't expect that my Hou Ye would cook and eat by himself, and it was so fragrant. The two guards looked at each other, swallowed their saliva, and suddenly felt hungry. (To be continued.) )
