Chapter 11: Ten Years of Zhenguan

Xia Shang said it in an orderly manner, so that people had no choice but to refute. The eldest lady did not speak immediately, but went back to the house to pick up the soup bowl again and looked carefully at the bowl. Then he went to the door and said to Xia Shang:

"So Mrs. Ben misinterpreted your intentions?"

The villain didn't mean that. The villain just wants his wife to understand that although I am not a big husband, I also know how to eat the king's loyalty to the king, since I am on an errand in the Sai family, I will naturally not mess with the rules of the Sai family, and I will naturally do my best to cook for my wife. If Mrs. feels that the villain talks too much, then there is really no way, the villain is born like this, and it is really difficult to change it, but the villain has never had the slightest bad mind. ”

"Okay, don't talk about it. Madame Ben is not unreasonable, and what she just said is just a test for you. Now that you can explain it clearly, Mrs. Ben will no longer embarrass you. But Mrs. Ben still likes the smell of yesterday, and remember to make it for me tomorrow the way it was. ”

"The original way? But if it affects Madame's body......"

"Nothing. The body of Mrs. Ben herself is not clear? This day has passed day by day, and the wound in my heart has not healed, who cares about my body? ”

As she spoke, the eldest lady felt a little more sad, sighed faintly and prepared to go back to the house.

As soon as the front foot moved, a maid came to report on the back foot: "The eldest lady, the second and third masters are here, waiting to see you in the lobby." ”

"Got it, I'll go after that." The eldest lady replied softly, but her tone was a little strange.

……

Xia Shang returned to the kitchen, and now she had to cook lunch for her masters. But Xia Shang was a little absent-minded, on the first day he came to ancient times, everything around him could cause him confusion.

For example, when you smell tobacco at the door of the eldest lady's room, it is obvious that there is a lot of smoke burning in the house. What kind of age is this? Will there be such a thing as big smoke?

And the tone of the last few words of the eldest lady is a little strange, and what is the second master and the third master?

What's even more strange is that why didn't the huge Saijia even see a male host?

All kinds of problems made Xia Shang uneasy, and he simply made a few home-cooked dishes for lunch. Then he went to the compound to find Li Cripple to find out some news.

Li Cripple is also an old man of the Sai family, he usually has no hobbies, he likes to go to something in the warehouse to open a small stove for himself, and now he has a small pot in the corner, which seems to be boiling mung bean soup.

Everyone in the Sai family called him Li Cripple, and Xia Shang called him Li Bo respectfully. Although I have only met Xia Shang twice, my impression of Xia Shang is the best among the Sai family.

When Li Cripple saw Xia Shang coming over to gossip with him, he happily brought a stool to Xia Shang personally.

Sitting on the stool, Xia Shang thought for a while and opened the conversation: "Uncle Li, your mung bean soup is good?!" Where did it come from? ”

Li Cripple thought that Xia Shang suspected him of taking the owner's things, and his expression was a little unpleasant, Xia Shang hurriedly snorted: "Haha, don't blame Uncle Li, the kid doesn't mean anything else, he just wants to ...... Hey hey ......"

After that, Xia Shang made a salivating motion.

Li lame smiled at this time: "The heat is not enough, wait for a quarter of an hour and then take a look." ”

Xia Shang asked tentatively: "The eldest lady called me just now, and found that the eldest lady's house was full of smoke, and the smell was strange, I don't know what it was?" ”

"Strange? You kid really don't know the goods, that's a real rarity. ”

"Rare? What's a rarity? ”

"That's incense burned in the incense burner, and everyone in the big family is good about this." Li lame threw a bean into his mouth, squinted and shook his head, "Other people's incense is burned with grain grass and millet after being soaked and dried in spices, and those who are a little more extravagant will also burn some balsam, only our husband has spared no expense to get a strange spice from the barbarian land outside Shuzhong, which is extremely fragrant, but the price is comparable to gold." Anyway, why are you asking about this? ”

"I didn't do anything, I was just curious." Xia Shang also scratched his head and replied with a smile.

But at this moment, Xia Shang muttered in his heart: "Could it be that the eldest lady is burning the raw materials of the big smoke as incense?" ”

Although he still didn't understand too much, this topic made the relationship between the two a little closer, Xia Shang felt that the time was about the same, and suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Uncle Li, we are also alone, we have been sneaking around for so many years, and finally entered the Saijia." In the past, it was enough to just fill my stomach, and I didn't know anything about the outside world, but now I come to the Saijia, and the people who come in and out of the Saijia are all characters with heads and faces, and I'm afraid that I'm too old-fashioned and laughed at. There are some things I want to talk to me about. ”

Li Bo chuckled: "We are just killing people, what's wrong with being laughed at?" ”

"Uncle Li, how about you tell me a little bit?"

"Okay, let's hear it first."

"What dynasty is it now? Who is the current emperor? ”

"Why do you ask this? Now of course, it is Emperor Taizong, as for the years, Zhenguan for ten years. ”

"Emperor Taizong?!" Xia Shang was shocked, and silently thought in his heart, "Tang Taizong? Li Shimin? The rule of Zhenguan? ”

For a history illiterate, there are only a few impressions when he hears Emperor Taizong, and as for more information, all the information is returned to the history teacher. Xia Shang regretted it in his heart, he only hated himself for not listening to history properly, and now in ancient times, he didn't even know what would happen in the most basic future. As a traverser, he has lost at the starting line at the moment.

Fortunately, Xia Shang still had the impression that Li Shimin's years were prosperous, and there was no war in the following years, otherwise he wouldn't know when the Huns were killed or anything.

Looking at the dress of the people around him, Xia Shang still couldn't connect with the Tang Dynasty, and the whole person was a little confused.

Suddenly, Li Cripple woke up Xia Shang with a sentence: "Hey! What are you doing as a cook? Let's cook honestly! ”

Thinking about it, my heart said that I ate with my cooking skills, which dynasty was different? A little cook, who is not an official and does not fight, what dynasty does he worry about?

"Lieber, you're right. I'm getting a little too concerned. Let's talk about the actual stuff. For example, Saijia. ”

"Saijia? You don't even know about Saijia? ”

"I've only heard others say how good the Saijia is, but I don't understand what it does at all."

Li Cripple's face straightened: "You are from the Sai family, you should figure this matter out." Our ancestors were flower farmers north of the Yangtze River, and later somehow started a silk business in the capital. Saijia has been developed for three generations, from the most inconspicuous cloth shop in the south of the Yangtze River to one of the largest households in the capital, several generations have been weaving cloth for a living, Saijia's 'flower brocade' is a unique silk in the whole world, even the emperor has issued a holy decree to the Saijia to pay tribute every year. ”
