The problem of military rations was solved, and Princess Pingyang estimated that if the grain was raised according to the method provided by Xue Lang, not only would it not affect the price of food in Chang'an City, but the income would only exceed expectations. However, this is also good, the military rations are abundant, and the coach can lead the army.

Xue Lang also suggested that it is not necessary to exchange new grain for old grain, but also to exchange wheat for chestnut rice and coarse grain for fine grain. In the end, Xue Lang also advised: "Your Highness, if you have enough military rations, please exchange some soybeans and soybeans if you have spare energy." The weather is getting colder, although there are dried vegetables, as well as radishes stored in the cellar, etc., the diet is too monotonous, change some beans and come back, make your own tofu, bean sprouts to eat, change the taste for the soldiers, and beat the tooth sacrifice is also possible. As the saying goes, one pound of soybeans and five pounds of tofu can also save some food consumption. ”

"Great goodness!"

Princess Pingyang was pleased: "Thanks to Youyang, it solves my difficulties." ”

Xue Lang arched his hand and said, "This is what subordinates should do." ”

By the time Xue Lang finished writing all the promotional methods, it was already dinner time, and Her Royal Highness the princess originally wanted to keep the meal, Xue Lang sighed: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, however, I heard that there are still two foodies waiting to be fed in the Wind Courtyard, if I don't go back...... Ah Lin is loyal and can deal with it casually. Doctor Su Hansu is not easy to deal with, I am afraid that he will be hungry, in case he climbs over the wall in the middle of the night, it will be a big trouble! ”

Her Royal Highness the princess couldn't help but smile, obviously thinking of the misunderstanding with Su Han when Jiang Lin rushed back from Chang'an that day, and teased Xue Lang: "Youyang has a hard heart, and it is pitiful to experience what it is like to be a father in advance before you get married!" ”

it!

Xue Lang wanted to throw a puppy at Her Royal Highness, and then refused to talk to her. However, the reality is no, what a pity!

Xue Lang hugged his fist towards Her Royal Highness the princess and begged for mercy, took advantage of the situation to say goodbye and leave, and went back to cook for the two big stomach kings——

Buying a chef must be on the agenda!

Thinking so, the next day, Rugui asked people to send two maids to Xue Lang. An old, already in his thirties, named Ah Tu, is said to have good cooking skills, but her mother's family, husband, and children all died in the war, and her in-laws wanted to sell her to a strong woman as a concubine.

There is also a person who is the same age as Lamei, but he is a native of Weize County, but because his family is poor, in order to support his parents and brothers, he was sold as a slave. has no name, and has been called by Siniang and Siniang.

These two people were bought into the mansion after Her Royal Highness the princess came to Wei Zeguan, just to take care of the palace officials, and they have been trained for a long time. Her Royal Highness the princess's own usual slaves and maids were all brought by Jingzhong.

The slaves and maids who have been trained in the house, naturally don't have to worry about the rules, and if there is something about Mozhu, it will be much more prudent to choose people like Gui.

Xue Lang took a moment to take a look, Ah Tu was obviously a cowardly person, otherwise he would not have been sold as a slave by his in-laws. Siniang is diligent and clean, but unfortunately she is illiterate, and it is appropriate to assist Lamei to be some rough men.

Xue Lang accepted the deed of sale from the two of them, and said: "Ah Tu directly took over the matter of the meal, and at the beginning, Lamei took her to familiarize her with the environment, and by the way, she also taught me the rules." Siniang...... You have to change your name, so let's do it, you came in winter, and it will be called the winter solstice in the future. ”

"Whoa."

The winter solstice is ordained.

Xue Lang instructed Lamei: "Lamei takes them to do things well, and there should be no more maids in our courtyard in the future." Whether these two people are good or not depends on whether you teach them well or not. ”

Lamei responded: "Oh." ”

Ah Tu's skills are naturally not as rich as Xue Lang's, but as long as you are used to cooking work, and you are not a chef who pursues exquisite knife work and wonderful taste, if you learn to cook home-cooked food, you can get started quickly.

Xue Lang's method of teaching people to cook has always been simple and rude, directly letting people go to the stove, and he taught on the side. After two or three days of effort, Ah Tu will be able to get started. It's just that in terms of the control of the heat, she is still a little unskilled, but as long as she is given time to accumulate, this is not a problem.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the smell of winter is getting stronger. Xue Lang asked Wanfu to go out and buy a lot of wool and sheepskins to make winter clothes for the servants. I don't know if it's malnutrition or weakness on the winter solstice, but I actually caught a cold.

The law stipulates that the master must be responsible for the servant's food, clothing, and medical care. It's just that, although there are such regulations, there are still stingy and harsh masters, and there are also people who don't want to find a doctor to make people boil.

In the current situation, not only lowly slaves, but even civilians of good origin, there are many people who cannot afford to see a doctor, and they can only rely on themselves to get sick. Fortunately, Su Han lives next door, Xue Lang is very convenient to find someone to see a doctor, Dr. Su's medical skills are exquisite, and if you go down with three medicines, the cold on the winter solstice will be cured.

In other words, since the weather has become colder and colder, Dr. Su Hansu has been busy. It's just that I'm busy at work, and I can't resist the foodie's enthusiasm for food. When I go to the medical dormitory during the day, Dr. Su can deal with it casually, but when I feed at night, as long as the situation allows, Dr. Su is rain or shine, and he must come back to eat.

Before the first snow of winter fell, the lotus root in the pond was finally harvested, which was a great harvest. Xue Lang asked people to prepare the sand early, and after the fresh lotus root was picked and the mud was washed, the lotus root was preserved in the way of layer of sand and layer of lotus root, so that there would be one more dish in winter.

After digging the lotus root, Wan Siming finally sent him a tool to make cotton playing. After handing it to Xue Lang, he retired with a very good look, although he wanted to know very much, but he didn't stay to see how his boss handled the cotton, for fear of accidentally seeing something that shouldn't be seen.

In fact, Xue Lang can't play cotton, but when he was a child, he saw people play it, and he knows how to operate.

Xue Lang asked Lamei and Winter Solstice to prepare a spacious empty room for him, asked Lamei to find him a face towel, covered his mouth and nose, and then began to play cotton from theory to practice-

After dealing with the things at hand every day, when I am free, I go in cleanly and come out with white cotton wool all over my body. After playing for three days, he slowly found the feel, and the cotton became more and more fluffy under his hands, and gradually there was a prototype of the quilt.

After the cotton bomb is soft, take out a pile and let them spin it into fine cotton threads. Spinning thread is a necessary homely skill for ancient women, however, Lamei has not learned it in the princess's mansion, but the winter solstice from a civilian background can be used soon, watching the clumps of cotton slowly turn into thread in her hands, Xue Lang waved his hand: "Enjoy the winter solstice ten times!" ”
