"Lang Jun, what are you buying so many fish for?"

Back in Tingfeng Courtyard, Mo Zhu was shocked when he saw Xue Lang buy back so many fish. Xue Lang wanted to reply very much, "It's about your", but he still endured it, and only said lightly: "I'm naturally useful." ”

Before Mo Zhu could say anything, Lamei next to her pulled her and hurriedly greeted her: "Lang Jun has been out for a long time, but is he tired?" The slave and maid will bring you water, wash your face, and remove the dust. ”

Xue Lang followed Lamei in, didn't even look at Mozhu, just washed with the hot water brought by Lamei, Lamei said: "Lang Jun, the short brown you want has been made and put it in the box containing clothes." ”

"Well, I just have to deal with the fish I bought later, and it's inconvenient to put on a robe for a good job."

"Whoa."

Let Lamei go out first, Xue Lang changed his clothes by himself, and when he only wore his belt, he called Lamei to come in and help. After changing his clothes, he remembered the price of the fish seller and asked, "I don't have a red cloth in my library, do I?" What about silver taels? ”

Mo Zhu, who was standing silently on the side, hurriedly replied: "Back to Langjun, there is neither red cloth nor silver, and the cloth in Langjun's library is all suitable colors for men." ”

"That's right. Pick up a piece of cloth and money for me, and I'll go find someone else to exchange it. ”

After the order, Xue Lang also changed his clothes. Out of the outer courtyard, Wanfu and Changjian had already unloaded the things, put them away under the guidance of Xiuniang, and the fish were placed by the well, waiting to be slaughtered.

Xue Lang wanted to do it himself, but no one agreed to Wanfu, Changjian, and Xiuniang, so he only let Xue Lang command on the side and let them do it.

So, under Xue Lang's guidance, scraping the scales of the fish, disemboweling the belly, except for the internal organs of the small crucian carp, the rest of the fish were considered large, and Xue Lang let the edible internal organs be kept-

"Lang Jun, how do you get these? Please show Lang Jun. ”

Clean the fish and put it aside, facing a pile of fish intestines and swim bladders, Xiuniang asked. Xue Lang asked, "Just take out the salt and wash it with salt." ”

Xiuniang looked embarrassed: "Lang Jun, if you wash it with salt, I'm afraid it won't be enough." ”

"How?"

"According to the rules of the house, the amount of salt used every month is counted, and if you use too much today, you won't have enough in the coming day. Lang Jun uses it like this, most of the time it will exceed the dosage. ”

"So strict?"

When Xue Lang heard this, he was surprised. Xiuniang nodded: "Hui Langjun, the rules in the house are strict." ”

Xue Lang was puzzled, according to historical records, the price of salt in the Tang Dynasty was not expensive, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, a bucket of salt was implemented for a long time, or in the Middle Tang Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty, the price of salt rose.

It stands to reason that salt should be very expensive, why is it so cheap and salt is so scarce? I don't understand! It seems that she needs to ask Her Royal Highness the princess about it.

Xue Lang thought so in his heart, and instructed Xiuniang: "You take out the salt first, if it's not enough, I'll go to Lady Liu." ”

Xiuniang, as a slave, naturally listens to him. But Changjian said weakly on the side: "Lang Jun, Lady Liu doesn't care about salt, this has to find the East Sacrifice Wine and the housekeeper." ”

"Who is the East Sacrifice Wine?"

Xue Lang didn't know at all. Changjian said: "Hui Langjun, the East Sacrifice Wine is Aunt Fang." ”

…… Still don't know!

In ancient times, it was not good here, as a man, it was inconvenient to talk to a female colleague I didn't know, and no one would introduce me. Xue Lang decided to go to Lady Liu, who made all his colleagues the most familiar with Lady Liu, he couldn't find Her Royal Highness the princess for a little salt.

Clean up the fish, cut off the heads of the two big fish, and let Xiuniang make cakes to prepare for making fish head cakes; The carp is made into braised fish...... It's a pity that there is no starch and chili, otherwise the taste is estimated to be better, and now, you can only eat the umami of real wild fish.

After teaching Xiuniang how to do it, Xue Lang accompanied the buns to play in the outer courtyard, and by the way, he commanded Changjian and Wanfu to cut off the flesh of the big fish and separate the flesh and bones. The big fish Xue Lang is ready to make fish balls.

So, when Xiuniang was cooking, Xue Lang took Changjian and Wanfu, and the three of them started to chop the fish meat, picking out the fish bones in the meat while chopping, and Xue Lang left to go to the kitchen to know that Xiuniang put the seasoning.

When Xiuniang made the fish and the cake was baked, Xue Lang asked Xiuniang to divide it into five parts, two parts for Wanfu and Changjian to send to the two foodie neighbors, keep one for herself, and the remaining two parts, let Xiuniang take the food box and put it up, Mozhu and Lamei carried one each, and Xue Lang visited the female boss and female colleagues.

"Lang Jun wants to send one to Lady Liu?"

Mozhu asked.

Xue Lang nodded, and Mo Zhu said: "Lady Liu doesn't live in the mansion, Lady Liu still has a fourteen-year-old younger brother, and His Royal Highness has opened another residence for her outside the mansion." ”

"In this way, the share of the female official Liu will be put away, and when Changjian comes back, let him accompany Xiuniang to send it. This copy is for Her Royal Highness the Princess, Mozhu, you and Lamei should send it. ”

"Whoa!"

"While it's still hot, go quickly."

"Whoa."

When Mo Zhu heard that he could go to see the princess, he couldn't hide the joy on his face, Xue Lang laughed, and said, "If Your Highness asks, just say that I taught Xiuniang to make it according to a foreign recipe." ”

"Whoa."

Mo Zhu happily accepted the order, hurriedly pulled up Lamei, took the food box and left. Xue Lang looked at Mo Zhu's back coldly, and didn't say anything more-

There are some things that are hard to say, don't ask. However, Her Royal Highness the princess is a smart person and has a good sense of everything, and there are some things that she can see without Xue Lang saying it. Inexplicably, I was looking forward to Her Royal Highness the Princess's reaction, if Her Royal Highness the Princess was also from a general point of view, then Xue Lang would be able to go to Chang'an without guilt and go to the future His Majesty Taizong. You can't play happily with different views!

Taking advantage of this moment, Xue Lang turned around and went to the empty room where the lime and baking soda were placed, and moved the baking soda and lime in the room to the inner courtyard-

Lamei received his orders early and prepared empty barrels and logs for him to be washed.

Pour the lime into the bucket, add water, then pour in baking soda, stir evenly for a while, wait for full dissolution, reaction, let the bucket stand, wait for the white substance in the bucket to precipitate, the solution obtained is sodium hydroxide solution, and sodium hydroxide is commonly known as caustic soda.

Xue Lang plans to let it fully precipitate, hoping that the impurities can precipitate more, and then pour out the caustic soda solution tomorrow and make handmade soap.

When he got it out, Changjian and Wanfu had already returned, and when they passed, General Xiong Lang and Yi had not yet woken up from the army, and they were still lying on the high bed.
