Chapter 20 Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts

Dugu Xinci was noncommittal, and patrolled with his hands, and this place was turned into a slaughterhouse, with a few fat pigs humming and chirping in the courtyard, and pig hair and feces were everywhere.

Dugu Xinci didn't bother to pay attention to what the soles of his feet were stepping on, the front yard and the back yard, the left and right corridors were all looked at, and there were hundreds of people living in the house, some old and some young, most of them were disabled soldiers who fought with Dugu Wangye.

Wang Wulang and several elders laughed, the little prince was not angry or happy, and he really couldn't see his thoughts.

A little boy was holding a broken bowl, and there were a few pieces of meat in the bowl that I didn't know were the hairy parts of the pig and sheep, which were raw, and I didn't know if they were cooked.

Dugu Xinci came to a courtyard, this courtyard looked like a place for slaughtering, the stinky water was all over the ground, the green bricks on the ground were also dyed vermilion, the pig's wool was hastily piled in one corner, and on the other side were piled up with internal organs and a few hairy pig heads.

Dugu Xinci watched it once, and the butchers were all stumps and severed hands.

"What about those?" Dugu Xinci asked, pointing to her internal organs.

"Go back to the little prince, and I will pull it out of the city and throw it away later"

"Huh? Did you find these pigs and sheep to be slaughtered by yourself, or did you kill them by someone else? ”

"They are all bought from the meat and vegetable shops in the East and West Markets and in various squares, and the pigs and sheep are slaughtered," Wang Wulang replied respectfully.

"How many are there per day? How many places like this are there in Chang'an City? ”

"There are more than ten heads when there are fewer than ten heads, and there are fifty or sixty heads when there are slaughterhouses in Chang'an City"

"Quite a few? Does the butcher shop pay money to you or pay for it with a pig's head? ”

"Most of them use pig's heads to offset the accounts, and give some money when they are young" Wang Wulang saw that the little prince actually knew the practice of using a pig's head to settle the account, and he was even more respectful.

"Well, what do you do with the pig's head?" Dugu Little Lord asked again.

"There are a few restaurants to buy every day, most of them clean up and eat" Wang Wulang smiled bitterly, "There are four or five restaurants to buy for a long time, most of them only have one or two, this pig's head can not be cleaned up, the cooking taste is not good, and some do not want to eat"

"And the internal organs? Most of the pig's hearts won't be given to you? Pork lungs, pork liver, pork loin, flowers, those meat and vegetable shops, take away, and leave them? ”

"Only the pig lungs and a certain class are left, half of the pig liver is left for a certain class, and the waist flowers are taken away"

"Okay, I see, how many households do you have now? How many are unhindered? How much of the herbs are needed to save your life? Dugu Xinci asked again.

"Now there are 45 households in the hospital, including 227 children and the elderly, more than 100 people who can work without hindrance, more than 40 women who can help clean up but can't do heavy work, and 15 who need medicine every month."

"Don't sprinkle the daily pig blood in the basin, don't lose these large intestines again, clean them," Dugu Xinci said, rolled up his sleeves, picked up an untreated large intestine with his own hands, and rolled the casing over to the side, and the debris inside fell off.

Everyone was dumbfounded, this is Yan Tang's little prince? They don't want to touch these dirty things.

A large intestine was quickly rolled over, and then cleaned with water, Dugu Xinci saw that there was lime in the corner of the courtyard, "Take some lime, and a few people will also process a few of them like this"

Dugu Xinci put the lime into the basin and poured water, put the large intestine in, washed his hands, saw that there was a pot of hot water on the side, and there was a fire pile below, so he put the fire fork on the side into the fire, and took a pig's head to put it in a wooden basin, poured boiling water, carefully shaved it with a pig-killing knife, and then wrapped a red fire fork with a rag and picked it up, carefully burned the pig's head with a red fire fork, and scraped and washed it with a pig-killing knife, which was satisfied.

Seeing that it was already early, let Wang Wulang bring another pair of heart and lungs, scoop up a few large intestines in the lime water, and find a wooden barrel to fill it.

Dugu Xinci carefully cleaned his hands, and saw that there were nearly 100 people around him.

Dugu Xinci shook the drops of water in his hand, and looked at the people around him one by one, most of them were in tatters, Wang Wulang's clothes with patches were still the neatest, and it was good for children to have a hemp wrap.

Dugu Xinci looked at it, and suddenly bowed deeply, and the bluffing crowd dodged in all directions.

"How is this? How is this? Wang Wulang shouted.

"You and the others are all the old departments of the king of Liaoyang County, and they have all been on the battlefield together, the king of Liaoyang County can be healthy, and it is up to you to protect them desperately, thank you" Dugu Xinci got up and said.

"It's not worth it," the crowd hurriedly shouted.

"It's already a great favor for the prince to let someone live here, how can I thank the little prince?" Wang Wulang also shouted.

"A certain is a lonely heart, you remember a certain one, there is a certain day in the palace, although you live here with peace of mind, and, if a certain can not let everyone live a full and warm life, you can scold a certain thing" Dugu Xinci smiled and pointed to the pig's head in the bucket.

Everyone laughed with tears in their eyes.

"Are there any of you who are among the Chiefs?" Dugu Xinci asked again,

"Yes" there are four or five people who should arrive.

"Okay, Wang Wulang, the palace has been cleaning up and renovating recently, and it is in urgent need of manpower, so you will select twenty capable people to do heavy work plus these five men, and they will help the palace tomorrow" Dugu Xinci ordered.

"Okay, the palace is cleaned up, and everything needs to contribute" Wang Wulang patted his chest and agreed.

"Recently, I have seen the large intestine and pig's head?"

Everyone nodded.

"Tomorrow, I will also help a certain person to rectify three pig heads and three or four pairs of large intestines and send them to the palace"

"Okay, I know," Wang Wulang still agreed.

"Although I am not afraid of dirty, but I don't like dirty, I will turn this yard into a slaughterhouse, and I need to clean up and wash it every day, and other places will start to tidy up tomorrow, clean and repair everything, and sprinkle quicklime again."

"Okay," everyone agreed.

"In the future, people who go out of this door need to be washed and cleaned, and when they have time, plant a few garden trees in front of the door and in the open space in the house," Dugu Xinci instructed again.

Dugu Xinci took out two pieces of gold leaf from the big bear's pouch and threw them to Wang Wulang.

"What is this for?" Wang Wulang's face flushed.

"Wages," Dugu Xinci said with a smile, "There is no reason for people to work in vain"

"But that's too much."

"Wait for you to help people on weekdays, almost fifty a day, don't you?"

"Yes,"

"Isn't that the end of it, and that's less?"

Why is this less, everyone doesn't understand, twenty people do a day's work, can get the same money, two gold leafs more than one tael, this is enough for ten dollars?

"You didn't count this mansion, did you?" Dugu Xinci pointed to the ground, "What's the matter?" This is not the mansion of Liaoyang Palace? ”

Everyone suddenly realized that the little prince was counted as two hundred.

Immediately some of the people knelt on the ground and prostrated their heads.

"Okay, a certain preference is clean, you just need to remember this sentence, and when you clean up, Ben Langjun will have a way to let you live a good life"

Dugu Xinci asked Da Xiong to carry the wooden barrel containing the pig's head and large intestine out, and suddenly saw the pig hair in the corner of the wall, and patted his forehead, "Wulang, don't throw away the pig hair, and bring a pound or two of cleaned pig hair to the palace tomorrow."

Everyone didn't know what it meant, but pinching the gold leaf in their hands, it was true.

Hundreds of people in the house sent Dugu Xinci's carriage away.

Dugu Xinci returned to the palace and heard the sound of street drums.

Carrying the wooden barrel to the inner courtyard, Prince Shen was still in the palace of Liaoyang County, talking to Duguzhen about today's experience.

Speaking of the treacherous of the two silk shopkeepers, Dugu Wang Ye couldn't help frowning, and in the end he was forced to buy a shop, and Dugu Wang Ye had no choice but to shake his head.

Just when he saw Dugu Xinci entering the door, he asked, "Why don't you sell that shop together?" ”

"It's nothing more than waiting for idle changes but the hearts of the people, leaving a useful store behind" Dugu Xinci replied casually.

Carry the bucket to the kitchen, boil the pot of hot water, and carefully clean it several times, smell no peculiar smell, then boil the water, let the dog remove the pig's head from the face bones, soak the pig's head meat in vinegar sauce water, drain it for a while and put it in the steamer to start steaming, and cut ginger and garlic and vinegar to marinate the large intestine. Turn on another furnace, stew a large urn of water, put the pork face bones in it, sprinkle a little salt and leave it alone.

Only then did Shi Shiran go back to his courtyard and start washing, the smell of the slaughterhouse in Shengdaofang was too bad.

After cleaning up and returning to the second courtyard, Prince Shen and Dugu Wang Ye were asking Qiu Bin about the later promotion to the Daofang.

"Hey, a certain has provided a place to live, but ignores its survival, but takes it for granted" Dugu Wang Ye sighed, that's all, and he didn't comment on Dugu's kindness.

"You wait a minute, eat something special tonight, Lord Shen, it may be a little unpalatable to your taste."

"It's called uncle, what kind of dishes have you never tasted?" Lord Shen disagreed.

Dugu Xinci grinned, and then went to the kitchen, opened the steamer, and saw that the pig's head meat was already red, so he asked Ah Dog to use an iron bucket to take a few eyes, and then sprinkle pepper and the like on the pig's head meat, and pour cold water. Then continue steaming.

After cutting a few fat intestines into sections, the pig lungs were also broken and cleaned several times, cut into slices, thought about it, and directly opened a furnace again, separated a part of the previous pig face soup, put the pig lung fat intestines and a few chickens and ducks purchased yesterday and a few large pieces of meat into the big urn, poured in the thick sauce with brown sugar, star anise, cinnamon, tangerine peel, lotus seeds and other condiments and threw them in at will. Cover and simmer.

Immediately saw that there were steamed noodles in the kitchen, it was estimated that Dugu Jia and several guards prepared them by themselves, and began to knead the noodles and steam them on several large cages.

Then cut the coriander garlic into a large pot and mix it with sesame oil.

After finishing it, he went back to the middle hall to watch the two princes chat.

Eight lanterns were hung in the middle hall, which was as bright as day, and the two princes were actually playing Go.

Dugu Xinci gave Qiu Bin a cigar, and the two began to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog. When the two princes finished a game, it was already three o'clock in the unitary hour, Dugu Xinci entered the kitchen again, instructed Da Xiong to put the big pot of food in the urn, looked at the pig's head meat in the steamer, and instructed Ah Gou to fork it out and cut it into small pieces, sprinkle it with refined salt, sesame oil, pepper and other condiments, and ordered the feast to begin.

The two princes stared wide-eyed at the oil on the table and shook a few large pots of vegetables, and looked at Dugu Xinci suspiciously.

Dugu Xinci just ignored it and took a few small basins to share the meal with everyone.

Each person has a small pot of stew, a plate of pork head meat, a plate of cold coriander, and a white flour steamed bun the size of a big bear's fist.

Then give the two princes a jar of wine, and the rest of each of them will have a bowl of white wine, and if they want it again, it will be gone, and they can't lie down like yesterday.

The big bear dog began to eat with a snort, and the guards also ate with a shiny face, the two princes looked at it, and smiled bitterly to eat it, the taste was really good, the stew was soft and not greasy, the entrance was shengjin, the pig's head meat was a little bitten and not greasy, it was really good.

Dugu Xinci took a sip of wine, cut the steamed bun into several slices, two slices of meat and vegetables, took a big bite, and was intoxicated.

Lord Shen went back to the house crookedly, and the people in Dugu Mansion also cleaned up and went into their rooms to sleep.

The next morning, Wu Qilang arrived with the people in Qinglongfang, and Dugu Xinci took out a few volumes of scriptures from the prince's library and asked him to print.

Wu Qilang said that the last Yuedan review was always a volume, and now it has been bought and sold at a higher price.

"Who is this person? So flexible? Dugu Xinciqi said, "It's all sold out?" ”

"One of the five hundred volumes has not been left, it seems to be called Wang Yuanbao"

"Well, don't care about him, keep an eye on it, don't let him cut the address of our West Market Bookstore"

"Okay"

Dugu Xinci asked Wu Qilang to return to the workshop, and took the craftsmen of Qinglongfang to start inspecting the places that needed to be repaired in the palace.

There were only about 20 people from Qinglongfang, and they began to get dizzy after a while, so Dugu Xinci had to let them remember it well, and Qiu Bin supervised the work.

After a while, the disabled sergeants of the Ascension Workshop also came to about twenty, all of them wearing patches and patches, but they were all cleaned, and they also brought a few large buckets of pig's head, pig's lungs, fat intestines, and the like.

Dugu Xinci first asked Ah Gou to take them to the kitchen to clean the ingredients first, and still use the head and face bones to cook the broth first.

Dugu Xinci asked Dugu Jia to take the people of the Ascension Workshop to scrub all the places in the front yard first.

Dugu Xinci took Dugu Yi Dugu Bing and them to tidy up the warehouse, put a few large boxes of precious gold and silver into the study, threw aside the silk and other dusty outside, picked up a few good horses and moved into the house, and was cleaning up and remembering the things in the kitchen, and hurriedly went over to teach a few fireheads how to make boiling, put four large urns, Dugu Xinci himself used a large urn to demonstrate, let the rest take two large urns to experiment, leave a large urn Dugu Xinci to demonstrate again and explain the mistakes and correction methods of their experiments, It's nothing more than adding sugar when you put too much salt.

Let a few people stay in the kitchen to watch the fire, and they are anxious to see the people in Qinglongfang to repair the situation, and they are so busy that they don't even have the time to go to Xiaojie.

Lunch is boiled with steamed buns, people who have worked for a long time eat it is a cheerful, forty people eat one or two hundred steamed buns, four large urns of hundreds of catties of stewed and boiled food is clean, even the marinade is wiped with steamed buns There is not a drop left.

Continue to work in the afternoon, Shen Shi will pay the people of Qinglongfang to let them return to the workshop, and they still need to come again tomorrow, and the people of Shengdaofang will also send back, so that they can continue tomorrow, and continue to bring the pig's head boiling materials, and let Wang Wulang bring a few people who can read and speak, and sort out some fabrics and take them away, and everyone is very grateful.

At night, Dugu was too tired to cook, so he asked Ah Gou to watch and get some green vegetables and steamed buns, and a few guards let them roast a sheep by themselves.

At night, Dugu Xinci was ruthless, drew a topographical map of Dugu Mansion, and made a mark, pagination to explain where it was changed and where it needed to be demolished.

The next day, Dugu Xinci first arranged matters to the people of the two squares, and then explained that the five fire head troops of Qinglongfang continued to make boiled and steamed buns according to yesterday's practice, so he took the two people who could read and write brought by Wang Wulang to walk around, gave them the drawings drawn last night, explained how to do it, and asked them to repeat it, and finally handed over the assigned supervisors of the renovation and renovation project of the palace of Liaoyang County to these two people.

He took Wang Wulang to Dongshi to see if the silk shop had moved, and sure enough, it was still grinding and not moving much, Dugu Xinci told them that it was limited to three days, and the first day was free of money, and if there was one more day, he would find another way, looking at Wang Wulang's tall and hideous appearance, the shopkeeper quickly began to move the inventory.

"In the future, there will be a delicatessen in this place, which sells the kind of stew that I ate yesterday, it's delicious, right? Do you think anyone will buy it? Of course there is, as long as you are affordable, this East City is full of people, I am afraid that there are forty or fifty thousand people in and out every day, the East Market is open at noon every day, and the shopkeepers and doctors who came here will definitely not have time to eat lunch, you will first cook the stew and push it directly with a large urn."

"The steamed buns are also ready to be sent over, two steamed buns per serving, a bowl of boiled meat, and so on you will measure the size of this shop, leaving a place to eat at the south end, and putting benches in the rest of the places, only a row of high ones against the wall."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, do what Ben Langjun said first, the materials don't matter, they are included in the repair budget of the palace, don't thank you first, listen to so-and-so"

"It's simple, isn't it? You provide people and materials, and you provide shops and funds, and we will account for half of the shares."

"Don't mention any thanksgiving, you are helping Ben Langjun make money, the more diligent you are, the more Ben Langjun earns, the more Ben Langjun earns, the more you will naturally earn, so it's decided, by the way, don't make a noise first, in recent days, the butcher shop shopkeeper who slaughtered pigs and sheep has made a death contract with them, yes, it is a death contract, spend some money to find the clean street envoy of Wannian County as a guarantee, and the death deed will write that you are responsible for helping them slaughter pigs and sheep, collect pig heads and internal organs as commissions, and not less than how many heads per month? How much? You can estimate that it is a little lower than usual, and sign for three years, the longer the better."

"And I will give you some money, you go anywhere outside the city, find a good place to raise pigs, buy it, and then buy some subfield Botian, what is the use of buying that? Think about it with your head, you raise pigs without pig manure, and the pig you kill is not a belly full of manure, and this is not all fertilizer. Therefore, it is best to buy land with pig farms, with ponds or something, and you can also raise some fish and the like, and it is also possible to rely on the mountains and water."

"Sheep farming? Didn't that villager? Still with centralized breeding? Waste of space, just raise pigs, what to raise? Plant some grass, sweet potato leaves, don't know sweet potato leaves? When the time comes, give you seeds, there should be something to sell in the west and east markets, find a regular position to buy some grain, don't say it's to feed the pigs, just say that you eat it, can't you eat so much? Then go to the mills by the river and ask them to buy bran to feed the pigs."

"When I was asked if I could feed it, I fed it first."

An education sent Wang Wulang away.

Slowly, Dugu Xinci's affairs became less, and he had time to lie on his chair and bask in the sun, and there were two literate stewards of the Shengdao Workshop under him, and a group of various craftsmen and handymen began to repair the palace of Liaoyang County in an orderly manner.

Dugu Wang Ye is really shaking his hands in the shopkeeper, he is too lazy to ask, only once asked about the bookstore, Dugu Xinci thinks about it, and now he can't talk about printing Buddhist scriptures, so he copes with it vaguely, saying that the collection of books at home is enough to print for a few years.

On this day, I was basking in the sun at leisure, and suddenly the old man in the porter came to report, saying that there were two people looking for the little prince.

Dugu Xincihu suspiciously went out to see, and he didn't know it, and the other party said it arrogantly.

It was actually a member of the Warlock Guild, and asked if the Grand Warlock's badge could be returned.

Dugu Xin smiled and said that he didn't know where to throw it, and the people who came sneered, saying that if they didn't hand it over, they could tell the world, saying that the Great Magician badge of Dugu Tianxing had been withdrawn, and if there was anything like it, it would be fake.

Dugu Xinci sneered in his heart, but said that he could wait for him to look for a few more days.

The people of the Warlock Guild snorted coldly, not forgetting to warn him to wait for him in the Warlock Guild three days later.

Looking at the backs of these two warlocks, Dugu Xinci remembered the words of the other day again

"Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable"
