Chapter 45: Fennel?

Today's match between the Qin family's leopard cavalry team and the Xue Jiabiao cavalry team is extremely critical, since Sa Zilu defeated the only competitor of the leopard cavalry team, as long as the Qin family wins one more game, they can win the championship in the annual competition, Qin Yu also put on a posture of inevitability today, and personally came over early in the morning to respectfully take my senior brother to the ball heir, and Ying, who had nothing to do, was also pestered to come, Qin Yu naturally did not dare to slack off, and accompanied Ying to carefully place Ying in his wife's stand. As Qin Yu's senior brother, I have the obligation to give Qin Yu tactical guidance and follow the Leopard Cavalry to the sidelines for on-site counseling.

The Leoparders are the best contenders for the title, with an amazing combination of attacking power and skillful teamwork, and now with my modern knowledge of the sport. Qin Yu in the game also changed his usual gentle and elegant style, and his keen insight allowed him to accurately seize the opportunity, and he was absolutely decisive and unrelenting in the adjustment of tactics and personnel. Almost the whole game was played by the Leopard Cavalry against the Biao Cavalry, and the Biao Cavalry had no power to fight back, there was no suspense, and the big score was won. The Brazilian team played the Chinese team, the commentator can go to rest on the side, the audience can just take a look, the scene of the bearded uncle grabbing the kindergarten children and beating it has little to do with the excitement, right?

On the way home, she pulled me into the carriage and desperately expressed her happy mood to me, and said that she would still participate in such activities next time, and also inquired from Mrs. Qin about the origin of the bracelet on the second daughter's hand, and next time I came to see the game, I also had to order a Yunyun.

Steward Qian is a little weird today, he is verbose in his courtesy, and he personally takes the handle to help me shake off the dust on my body. The old man is in good health, and I feel a little pain when I shake the handle, and for his sake, I won't call out. The second daughter stood aside with an unhappy face, I knew that she was angry with the housekeeper, because this job originally belonged to the second daughter, and the behavior of the money housekeeper overstepping her responsibilities made her very unhappy.

"Does the little marquis take a shower and rest first, or eat first? The meal has been prepared for you and your wife, and we are waiting for you to speak. Steward Qian said attentively.

I wondered what kind of nerves he was having when these things weren't his business in the first place. Ying was also a little confused, with a strange expression.

"Just come as usual, Qian Lao doesn't have to worry about it, you can get busy." I dealt with it indiscriminately, wanting to send this old man away quickly, and the second daughter was still in a hurry to report to me.

"Today, the Zhuangzi killed the sheep, and the old man specially sent them a good one, I don't know how the little marquis likes to eat it?" The butler did not feel my mood and continued to carry out his goodwill line.

"Sheep? Get some roast lamb, I haven't eaten it in a long time. "Listening to the housekeeper talking about mutton, I remembered the last meal before the Tang Dynasty, I haven't eaten it for so long, it's weird.

"Roasted ...... Mutton? "The housekeeper is a little embarrassed, after all, I don't have much contact with this way of eating, and I have no experience in making it, so I am a little apprehensive.

"Oh, whatever you want, you don't have to use roasted food, just do it before." I reacted that in the Tang Dynasty, there was no condition to roast meat to the taste I liked, in case it was grilled indiscriminately, and things would be ruined.

"Yes! The old man will go and command," the butler commanded, and turned to leave. I breathed a sigh of relief, and I could finally listen to the work report of the second daughter...... "Dare to ask the little marquis if he wants to eat boiled or burned?" The butler suddenly turned around and asked again.

……………………………….

"Steward Qian is afraid that something is going on, right?" Ying saw some clues on the side.

"No, Madam misunderstood, the old man will prepare." Steward Qian left in a hurry, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: he won't come back after drinking, and it will be too late for the little marquis to return to the house after dinner!

"The housekeeper is a little weird, I'm afraid there is something I want to ask my husband for." Ying looked at the butler's back and reminded me. The second daughter also nodded in agreement.

"There is something to say, and it is wordy to go around. Lao Qian has been at home for so long, I will definitely help if I can, or I will ask him later? "I don't think the housekeeper is out of sight.

"Don't worry, husband, just watch, someone will naturally look for you in a while." Ying Xiao's eyes flashed, and she chuckled slyly.

The second daughter knew that I liked Ying's expression, and she also stood aside and tried to imitate it a few times, and then gave me a slap on her ass, "Doesn't learning to fool around?" Did you drink milk today? ”

The second daughter nodded.

Sure enough, just after lunch, Hu Ledger appeared seemingly unintentionally, Ying tacitly gave me a look, and went to the back house with the second daughter.

"Mr. Hu came over to speak." I beckoned to Lao Hu and motioned for him to sit down.

Hu Shufang arched his hand at me and carefully sat down next to me.

"Recently, Mr. Hu, thanks to you, I still want to talk to Mr. about the situation in the workshop."

"The little marquis is serious, this writing and calculation is a matter within the next division, why do you have to say it hard. But the second lady's shrewdness and ability are admired by the subordinates. ”

"The second daughter is still young, Mr. Hu usually has to help her more, if you want to talk about experience, it must be Mr. I am the most relieved to leave the accounting matters to my husband. ”

After gossiping with Hu Ledger for a while, he gradually entered the port.

"Little Hou Ye, today Steward Qian came to ask me for something, but I didn't dare to agree, it depends on what you mean, so I came to report to you." Hu saw that the time was ripe and finally made his words clear.

"It doesn't matter, Steward Qian has served in the Wang family for more than 20 years, it stands to reason that Mr. Hu and Steward Qian are both elders in the family, and there is no ambiguity about what they can help." I understand the weight of Steward Qian in the royal palace, just for the sake of serving the royal family with loyalty for more than 20 years, I have to try to satisfy him even if I make some excessive requests, let alone do me a favor?

So Hu Ledger told me about the failure of the money shopkeeper's investment in a small business, and conveyed the idea that the money housekeeper wanted to make a flower dew. I laughed dumbly, this housekeeper's nephew ran all the way to pull fennel back, it was a loser. (Cumin is native to India, was cultivated as a Chinese medicinal material in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, and was not used as a spice until the early Sui Dynasty, and was gradually widely used by the people in the middle of the Tang Dynasty.) In the early Tang Dynasty, although fennel was still used as a medicinal material, its price was not expensive and belonged to ordinary medicinal materials. )

How big is the car in the Tang Dynasty, only half a car is smaller, and I will help the money housekeeper cushion this money. There was no ideological struggle, so he said directly: "Mr. Hu, I'm going to find the housekeeper to come over, I'm in charge, even if this half of the carload of fennel is bought in the house, let the housekeeper go to your handful of silver." Forget about the matter of She Hualu, so as not to let the family be deceived again....haha.... ”

Seeing that I had promised happily, Hu also liked it very much, and felt that it was really a happy life to mingle with a humane boss, so Lima called the money steward who was lurking nearby.

The tearful money steward stepped forward and wanted to make a big salute, but I was so frightened that I quickly stopped it, and it was a life loss to be worshiped by this person of this age. "Don't, don't. It's all my fault, I tossed enough for the family a few years ago, if I hadn't tossed outside, the old housekeeper wouldn't have to make this decision, I would have gone to Mr. Hu's silver to support it tomorrow, this business is not something you can do if you want to do it, you have to be careful next time. ”

"What Master Hou taught me is that the old man will send fennel to my house now, so I'll go, I'll go." After saying that, he ran away excitedly, and it seemed that he was really in a hurry to shoot.

Idle is also idle, the sky is dark, I invited the Hu account room at the door of the house to take a breath, the habit of going into the back house after dinner all day is a little out of the masses, there are really few people in the house who can be named. After all, there are too few people around me who can talk, and they face so many people all day long, and it will be troublesome to get autism if they don't have a good time.

The two of them walked around, there was a sentence without a sentence of random withdrawal, Hu account room is a cultural person, read a lot of books, everything can be mentioned, can always talk to you a thing or two, full of speculation, seeing Zhuangzikou, I was about to weigh half a catty of malt for the second daughter by the way, Mr. Hu pointed to Lao Yuan and said: "The old money is really anxious, and he brought the fennel in a blink of an eye, haha."

But no, Steward Qian was running in his head, followed by a young man with a cart, and the two of them were hurrying towards this side. The old money housekeeper saw the two of us, turned around to the guy who pushed the cart didn't know what he said, the guy parked the car, ran towards me, the person didn't stop and knelt down, scared I thought he was going to tackle, busy dodging out of the way.

"Li Si kowtows to the master, thank the master for not killing him, Li Si will repay the master's great kindness as a cow and a horse!" After saying that, kowtow vigorously, and the frequency is as high as a chicken eating rice.

This kid, he hasn't taken a bath in many days? Why does it smell so weird, but it's familiar, it's a little ....." Hurry up, kowtowing is unprofessional, I know that you are kowtowing, I don't know that I think you want to shovel people! "I kind of think he tastes big, and I don't want to help him up, what's the smell? Just that familiar? "What are you stumbling on? Take me to see your fennel, and you won't pay for it again! After saying that, Hu and I looked at each other and smiled, and went to the car, and the money housekeeper ran panting, and his chubby face became more and more oily.

"Something is wrong, Fennel?" I leaned over and sniffed the package, feeling a little excited, no, it was turning over the river and the sea, "Hurry up and open it for me!" "I was a little out of shape, which made the three of him very nervous, and Li Sifei stepped forward to unwrap ...................

"Little Hou Ye, Xiao Hou Ye?" Hu Ledger nervously called out to me in a petrified state.

"Ahh I let out a long breath and said viciously to Li Si: "What's your name?" ”

"Li....four" Li Si saw that my expression was hideous, and his heart beat the drum, and he had the idea of planning to do something later.

"Li Si! Listen up! This isn't fennel, it's cumin! I said one sentence at a time, and said in a low tone. (Probably because seasoning and pickling began very early in Chinese food, the level of use of spices is very low.) Since ancient times, China has not been able to figure out all kinds of spices, so many of them are called fennel (huixiang), and at most a definite term is added in front of it, such as anise, cumin, benzoin fennel and so on. And benzoin fennel is another name for cumin, which is indispensable for roast lamb)
