Volume 1: Who Breaks the Void by the Stars Chapter 15 Cure the Family Affair and Cook Xiaoxian

Liu was like an angry female beast at this time, and his gaze was chilling.

But the plan she put forward made Ye Neem unable to agree. Because Ye Neem is really not sure, he can say that he can move the patriarch.

"This, there is a way, there is no need to ask the sect leader." Ye Neem glanced at the Liu family, and said cautiously: "Isn't your brother serving in the Zhichong Mansion, I heard in the county seat today that the Zhichong Mansion is going to elect someone to be a guard." The second branch is a government soldier, so let your brother transfer it to Beijing on the Long March. ”

"You old thing, you still have a little bit of scheming, this is good, this is the best." Liu let out a rooster's crooked laugh.

At this time, the military system of the government was close to collapse, and the system of the guards was also close to paralysis, so although there were such rumors in the county, in fact, almost all the prefectures had no soldiers to send. There is room for manipulation, if there is a way, you can be exempted from service, and the boss will not be held accountable, and if there is no way, you can make some money, and you don't have to go to Chang'an to go to the guard. As for having no money and no way, then you have to suffer some losses.

Liu's elder brother's position in Wu Ze's Zhichong Mansion has no problem fiddling with Ye Shu.

"And Liu Kun, send him and his mother-in-law to Pusan to watch the kiln, so that they will not be able to come back for ten days and a half months." Ye Neem said again.

"Stand up, old man." Hearing very satisfied, Liu asked Ye Neem to get up, and then turned to Liu Gui, with a fierce glint in his eyes: "You are on the side of the three branches, see the opportunity to start, isn't there a stupid girl like Xiang'er, let her give you the guilt, put some medicine in the water or rice that the little animals drink......"

Liu Gui suddenly felt creepy, this is murder!

He hesitated, and Ye Neem next to him coughed: "After the matter is completed, let your family go white, you have also accumulated some belongings over the years, and you have a clean background, are you afraid that you will not have a good life?" ”

Liu Gui was overjoyed when he heard this.

Who wants to be a slave and a servant for the rest of his life, and his children and grandchildren will be someone else's subordinate for generations! He Liu Gui has followed the Liu family for decades, although the Liu family treats him well, but because he is a subordinate, he has never married, and he has not even had an heir, which has always been his regret.

If he can be released and have a free body, let alone a mother-in-law, he Liu Gui's life will be worth it.

"Lang Jun, lady, please rest assured, the villain will do it seamlessly!" Liu Guidao.

Their conspiracy was over, and Liu Gui saw that it was not early, and if he did not go back, it might arouse suspicion, so he saluted and retired. returned to Ye Chang's house, but found that Ye Chang had returned, which surprised Liu Gui.

The expression on Ye Chang's face was also a little strange.

"Let you chop wood, but where did the people slip away?" Seeing him come back, Ye Chang snorted: "Clean up, follow me into the mountain tomorrow, I'm going to dig medicine." ”

"Yes." Liu Gui was curious about what the Ye Clan Patriarch had called Ye Chang to do, but he knew that Ye Chang didn't trust him at all, so he didn't say anything more.

Liu acted quickly, and on the evening of the second day, Ye Chang, who took Liu Gui around in the mountains for a long time, picked some fungi and came back, saw his brother Ye Shu appear in his small courtyard with an anxious face.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Ye Chang asked.

"San Lang, when I'm not at home, you should take care of it more at home." Ye Shu pondered for a while before speaking: "I know that you are ...... now Now it's different from others, you are smart, I can't compare to you, and even the sect chief can't compare to you. ”

"Brother...... What does this mean? Ye Chang was slightly surprised.

"The soldiers of the government are on the guard, this time it's my turn." Ye Shu scratched his head in distress: "According to the military system, I will enter Beijing for a month this time, plus back and forth, I am afraid that there will be two months, and the affairs of the family can only be relieved if I entrust it to you." ”

Ye Chang had a little impression of the government military system, but he didn't know that the government military system had collapsed at this time, so he just said "oh". Ye Shu hesitated slightly, and then said, "You have to be careful yourself, the long branch is over there...... Or peace is precious. ”

"I understand." Ye Chang stepped forward and patted Ye Shu on the shoulder: "Brother, don't worry, it's just two months of service, and I will come back in two months to ensure that my sister-in-law and the family are peaceful!" ”

"Anyway, I'm tired, and when I come back, I'll bring you some Chang'an products." Ye Shu forced a smile.

The two brothers said a few words to each other, Ye Shu went back to his house, from his few words, Ye Chang felt a strong concern, he came not so much to entrust the family affairs, but to worry that after he left, Ye Chang would cause trouble and no one would end up. At this time, Ye Chang still felt a little funny, in the past few days of contact, he found that his brother was really an honest man, but that's all, his ability was mediocre, and his insight and wisdom were even far inferior to his sister-in-law Fang's.

In the next few days, Ye Shu bought equipment for this trip and was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, while Ye Chang still took Liu Gui into the mountains every day, looking for fungus, mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum and other medicinal materials. Perhaps because of the dry weather, these fungi, which were not uncommon in the mountains, are now much less, and after a few days, he found only a few catties.

Seeing that the time for Ye Shu to leave had come, the night before, Ye Chang invited Ye Shu, the Fang family, and the child over.

The two of them have been married for some years, and they have a son and a daughter under their knees, the son is older, he is five years old, chasing Ye Chang behind his back and calling Uncle Eleven, and his daughter is only more than two years old, she looks like Fang's, and she is a little thin. At the invitation of Ye Chang, the whole family arrived at the small courtyard of Sanzhi, and when they entered the door, they smelled a refreshing aroma.

"Uncle Eleven is cooking something delicious!" Ye Cinu cheered.

"The slave Xiaolangjun guessed right, Eleven Lang cooks by himself!" Xiang'er squatted in the yard to pick up vegetables: "The slave wanted to help, but was kicked out, when did Eleven Lang learn to cook, and he also held the carpenter and planed a shovel, saying that he wanted to stir-fry the vegetables......"

Ye Chang was indeed stir-frying.

In the Tang Dynasty, the culinary skills were already extremely high, but stir-frying, the most commonly used form in later generations, was not yet popular. Ye Chang has eaten the food cooked by Xiang'er in the past few days, and he has gone from the initial sweetness to the current stomach, and finally when Ye Shu was about to leave, he thought that Ye Shu was sending off the excuse and started to do it himself.

The materials are a little lacking, but there is no shortage of sweet, sour and bitter tastes, but what is lacking is spicy. In the Tang Dynasty, dogwood, peppercorns, etc. were used as spicy seasonings, but compared with real chili peppers, their taste always made Ye Chang feel a little weird. Fortunately, what Ye Chang wants to do now is not the Hunan cuisine or Sichuan cuisine of later generations, and he is not so particular about spiciness.

The first dish is the famous Song sister-in-law fish soup, Wu Ze's slope is short of water, but Wu Ze itself is not short of water, it is named after "Ze", there was a big lake nearby hundreds of years ago, now the lake is dry, but there are still some small ponds, Ye Chang bought two fish. One of the sea basses, served with shiitake mushrooms, shredded bamboo shoots, shredded pork, shallots, rice wine, vinegar and soy sauce, makes this large pot of amber clotted cream.

"Uncle Eleven, Uncle Eleven, what kind of dish is this?"

Everyone scooped a bowl with a small bowl, and after everyone tasted it, Shinu suddenly jumped out and asked.

"This is Sister-in-law Song's fish soup, how does it taste?"

"It's delicious, I still want it!" The slave said as he set the bowl.

"Slaves!" Fang slapped his little hand in disgust, Ci Nu's eyes widened, and he looked at his mother with some puzzlement, and Fang said again: "Your eleventh uncle hasn't eaten yet!" ”

"I've eaten it on the stove." Ye Chang said with a smile: "Cinu loves to eat, so eat more, but after a while, it will be better to come up, don't be greedy!" ”

Xiao Cinu suddenly made a difficulty, this "Song Sister-in-law Fish Soup" is really delicious, but listening to Uncle Eleven's tone, there are more delicious, if you hold your stomach up, what will you do?

When he was pondering this major issue, the little sister next to him pushed the bowl in front of him: "Seven, seven!" ”

Everyone laughed, the little girl's speech was not accurate, and she said "eat" as "seven", Ye Chang saw that they were eating sweetly one by one, and his heart was full of joy.

His second dish was brought out, and Fang Shi saw it and said, "Huh": "Sunflower meatballs?" ”

"Sister-in-law knows this dish?" Ye Chang was also a little stunned, he still thought that the dishes he made did not appear in this era.

"When Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty toured Jiangnan to Yangzhou, he used the four famous scenery of Yangzhou as a dish, and the one who refers to the sunflower gang is this sunflower meatball...... Fang's face changed slightly: "The most proficient at this dish in this dynasty is the chef of Duke Wei of Xunguo, when did Shiyi Lang learn this dish?" ”

Ye Chang couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, he didn't remember the past, so he didn't know the origin of the Fang family, but he could casually tell the origin of this dish, so presumably the Fang family's family was once Zhong Mingding's family, but she married into the Ye family...... Behind this, I'm afraid there is also a story.

"When I learned it, people said the name of this dish was lion's head." Ye Chang didn't delve into this matter, everyone had their own secrets, although he really had contact with the Fang clan these days, he felt that his sister-in-law had a strong family affection for his brother and two children, and even his uncle.

The third dish is the bamboo shoots of the Asking Politics, but at this time Yu Dehui has not yet been born, and his "Asking the Politics Mountain House" has no shadow, so Ye Chang naturally named this dish stewed with seven ingredients such as winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and pork leg meat "The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" - it just so happens that Busan is the place where the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest live. Therefore, although the two brothers and sisters of Xiao Cinu did not know why, and Ye Shu was also confused, his sister-in-law Fang showed a knowing smile.

The fourth dish is the famous Dongpo pork, in fact, when everyone enters the courtyard, the smell of overflowing meat, most of which is the credit of this famous dish. However, what Ye Shu made was not the Dongpo meat in Zhejiang cuisine in later generations, but the Dongpo meat made by Yongxiu in northern Jiangxi, twisted into a rope with straw (replaced by dry wheat grass), skewered with large pieces of pork, and simmered slowly in a casserole. In the era of relative lack of meat, such fatty but not greasy, fragrant meat dishes are the most popular, but at this time, Xiao Zhinu and his sister can only sigh because the previous dishes have made them full.

The last thing was a pot of stewed chicken soup with shiitake mushrooms, Ye Chang brought it up, and heard a voice from outside the courtyard: "Is the Ye family's eleven lang available?" ”

This voice is somewhat familiar, Liu Gui went to open the door - Ye Chang didn't abuse him, he and Xiang'er couldn't serve on the table, but in the hands of the two of them, there were also separate dishes and soups.

It was Qin Qinshou and Lin Xiqi who came in.

"Hey, the shopkeeper Qin is a rare guest, and he is far away." Seeing him, Ye Chang was also surprised: "Come here, it's better to come early than to come by chance, if you don't dislike it, please come to the table." ”

Fang Shi hurriedly got up, handed over his little daughter to Xiang'er, and went into the house to get the dishes and chopsticks to put them away. If it's just a family, she can naturally go to the table and have nothing to pay attention to, but if there are outsiders, she can't help but avoid it.

Qin Qinshou was not polite, he really sat down, and after tasting a few dishes, he suddenly said in surprise: "There is a good cook in Shiyilang's family!" ”

"It's despicable." Ye Chang was not ashamed of cooking by himself, and was quite proud.

"It's Eleven's craft? Tsk, it's really amazing, I never expected that Eleven Lang would have such skills! This means, when you open a restaurant in Chang'an City, you are the prime minister and general, but I am afraid that you will also be attracted by the aroma! ”

Qin Qinshou was even more surprised when he heard Ye Chang say this.

"Gollum!"

Ye Chang hadn't responded yet, there was a strange sound beside him, and it turned out that Lin Xiqi was swallowing hard next to him. Qin Qinshou is the master and can sit at the table, but he can only stand on the side.

"Sister-in-law, give this strong man a bowl too." Ye Chang said with a smile.

He was not accustomed to the eating habits of the Tang people, so he specially made a round table, and now everyone eats around the round table. However, he couldn't change the habit of sitting cross-legged on the futon for the time being, and this sitting posture made him very uncomfortable. Hearing his words, the Fang clan also served Lin Xiqi rice, and after Lin Xitao took it, he devoured it, and that appearance made the slave who was stroking his round belly couldn't help laughing.

Qin Qinshou is homemade, although Ye Chang's dishes are delicious, he just tastes everything, and then puts down the chopsticks: "Ye Langjun is really a strange person, which makes people surprised." ”

"Hehe, why did the shopkeeper Qin say this?"

"The servant came today because he heard about Ye Langjun's construction of the rainbow canal." Qin Qinshou did not hide it: "Ye Langjun's move in the rainbow canal has caused a sensation in cultivating martial arts, and the servant rushed to watch it when he heard the news. Thinking that the bamboo made of the rainbow pipe was sold to Ye Langjun, the servant was fortunate to have honor in his heart, and came to visit Ye Langjun, never thought that he would be entertained by Langjun here, and then saw Ye Langjun's cooking skills that were not inferior to Yi Ya, how not to be surprised and respected? ”

Ye Chang smiled and said a few words of humility.

He didn't fully believe what Qin Qinshou said, how could it be possible for the matter of the Hongqu water diversion to spread throughout the county in such a short period of time, this Qin Qinshou must have specifically inquired. Then he came to the door this time, and he should have other plans.

"In the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, there was a great drought from Xiuwu to Qinyang, and if there was a Langjun Hongqu water diversion technique, the disaster would not be so serious. This rainbow canal to divert water is an immortal technique given to Ye Langjun by the immortals...... I would like to ask Ye Langjun, can you promote it widely and benefit the people of the world? ”

Qin Qinshou's eyes were blazing when he said this, revealing great ambition!
