Chapter 19: Gentleman's Food and Slave's Food
It is to melt into it slowly, like a drop of water falling into a river, lake and sea, like a starling mixed into a flock of starlings, like a white sheep mixed into a flock of white clouds.
Moisturizing things silently is the highest state of blending.
Today, Fang Zheng, Liu Xiong, He Yuanshan and Zhanggu Zhang An already subconsciously think that he is a Tang man, which is already a great victory.
As a scribe from the Eight Rank Daguan Order, this starting point is already very, very high, and the high is beyond Yun Chu's expectations.
This is similar to the path he took a long, long time ago, under the recommendation of chemistry teacher Liu Tiancheng, he also successfully worked as a scribe under the command of the section chief of Bapin.
Considering the ratio of the number of officials in the Tang Dynasty to the number of officials in that era, the position of scribe he has obtained is much higher than that of the scribe position at that time.
Zhang An left after settling Yun Chu's accommodation, although Yun Chu's request for a meal was rejected by Zhang An.
As far as the current situation is concerned, people are still wary of him.
After seeing the place of residence, Yun Chu was somewhat puzzled, the mulberry trees here are unbelievably huge!
Whether it is the trunk of the tree that the two of them can't hold together, or the scarring scar on the trunk, it proves that these mulberry trees have gone through a long time.
Qiuzi Town has always been a battleground for soldiers in the Western Regions, these mulberry trees are so close to the city that they can be used to make some engineering equipment, but those people stupidly gave up, there should be some reasons that Yun Chu didn't know.
Fang Zheng assigned Yun Chu a small house with a thatched roof with a black hole, the windows were very small, only one foot square, the threshold was very high, the lintel was very low, and you needed to bow your head to enter and exit.
The earthen walls are covered with golden wheat husks, and there are also a lot of wheat straws, which may have been eroded by wind and rain for a long time, and these wheat husks and wheat straw have been turned golden yellow by wind and rain, just like the earthen walls are inlaid with golden sand gold and gold wires.
The windows are small to keep warm, the thresholds are high to keep out the sand, and the lintels are low to facilitate defense.
The height of two meters indoors makes people not lively, in short, Yun Chu doesn't like such a house at all.
So he went to the door, where he lived, not far away, and borrowed some tools to open the doors and windows wider.
Menzi is a lame veteran, he looks very old, and he shouldn't be too old, so he can't say that people are dying because he has gray hair.
Having gray hair at the age of thirty is very common for people at this time, and it is not uncommon for others to be grandfathers, unlike the era in which he lived before, when a thirty-year-old person still claimed to be a baby.
The veteran doesn't seem to have a glorious past, his eyes are covered with eye droppings, and his back is stiff and there is nothing heroic to speak of.
Yun Chu asked him to borrow an axe, so he lent Yun Chu a Xuanhua Mountain Opening Giant Axe.
The handle of the axe was two meters long, and a one-foot-long spike appeared abruptly from the position of the axe head, rusty.
This gives this giant axe not only the ability to chop, but also the ability to stab.
The whole axe weighs more than 20 pounds, and the center of gravity is too forward, which is very inconvenient to use.
I don't know which brain-dead would have created such a waste and brought it to the battlefield.
"This is my family heirloom!" The veteran muttered and spread his hands.
"Give me five hundred copper coins, and this thing will be yours."
Yun Chu looked at the ornament on the axe and felt that five hundred yuan was actually not expensive, and this kind of thing should be something used by the honor guard.
"I don't have ...... money"
Menzi rubbed his eyes and looked at Yun Chu and said, "I owe it first." After speaking, he continued to sleep against the mulberry tree.
Yun Chu held a big axe and started to work.
In a short time he opened a large window for himself, and the lintel was cut off, and he had time to weave a window for himself out of soft mulberry strips, and extended the door with mulberry strips, so that he had a door.
After doing these things, Yun Chu looked at this eight-square-meter room with satisfaction and felt very warm, although there was only one bed, a few, and a futon, which was enough for him at present.
In the official offices of the Tang people, there were only two meals a day, one meal at ten o'clock in the morning was called morning food, and another meal at four o'clock in the afternoon was called evening food.
Yun Chu missed the morning meal today, and by the time Menzi called to start dinner, he was already very hungry.
Fang Zheng, Liu Xiong, He Yuanshan, Zhang An, Xue Heyi, Li Chengyi, Chen Bo'an, plus Yun Chu, are the main people who eat official meals, as for the veterans of Menzi, as well as mute horsemen and tuberculosis ghosts, they can only wait for the first eight people to eat, and if there is a surplus, they will eat, and if there is no leftover, they will not eat.
The eight people in the front can receive money and food from the yamen, and the three people in the back can only be said to be idle people who rely on the yamen to eat.
Yun Chu felt that he had taken a big advantage, after all, a person who couldn't even figure out his household registration had a higher status than others as soon as he entered the door, which made him a little embarrassed.
Fang Zheng saw Yun Chu's cramped thoughts, so he pressed Yun Chu, who was restless, and said, "You are a scholar!" ”
Yun Chu immediately sat down, no longer feeling restless.
As a reader, you should have the consciousness of a reader.
The theme of the dinner at night was soup cakes, and the soup cakes were actually not cakes, but noodles, because the person who cooked the meal was the one who had his eyes covered with eye feces, which made Yun Chu lose most of his appetite.
In addition, the soup of the soup cake is mutton soup, which is covered with blood foam, which successfully murdered Yun Chu's other half of his appetite.
There are a lot of noodles in this pot of rice, and there are enough pieces of mutton, but the smell is unpleasant and difficult to swallow.
Fangzheng's group of people were eating and snoring, as if the things in the pot were rare and delicious, and only Yun Chu was alone looking at the rice bowl in front of him and sighing.
"Menzi's craftsmanship is good, try it!" Fang Zheng thought that Yun Chu was polite, and enthusiastically pushed the rice bowl towards Yun Chu, but at this moment, the fishy smell in the rice bowl rushed straight to his nose, making his cheeks white and almost vomiting.
"Can't get used to eating?" He Yuanshan held a large piece of mutton with chopsticks, looked at the mutton, and then looked at Yun Chu, who was pale.
Yun Chu arched his hand and said, "The food is good." “
"Eat it if it's good!" Liu Xiong looked down on Yun Chu, a scholar who was accustomed to cheating.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yun Chu turned off his sense of smell, taste, and sight, and began to eat.
This ability Yun Chu has been training since he was a baby, and when he was five years old, he had already practiced to the point of becoming a big achievement, and he could ignore the shape and taste of the food, and he didn't continue to use it until he was eight years old when he could make food for himself.
So, Yun Chuyi ate three bowls in a row, and he didn't want to give up when his belly bulged, the purpose of this was that after the sense of smell and taste recovered, even if he vomited, he could vomit for a while.
When he was about to eat the fourth bowl, Fang Zheng pressed his rice bowl and said, "Don't torture yourself, if you can cook, get the food and cook it yourself."
It seems that you have really lived a life of fine clothes and food before, and I really don't know how you survived the three years in the Cypriot tribe. ”
Yun Chu thumped his chest and smiled: "I'm very hungry, there is nothing I can't eat." ”
"Like this pot of soup cakes in front of you?"
Yun Chu looked back at the door that was staring at the soup pot all the time, and the groom nodded and said, "That's true." ”
He Yuanshan sneered and said, "There is no dragon liver and phoenix marrow for you to eat here." ”
Yun Chu arched his hand towards He Yuanshan and said: "What the pot is saying is that the essence of the mountains and rivers is a pot of soup, and the food can not be born with wings to climb to the fairyland, although the grains are ordinary, it is the food of the gentleman, and then there are subtle words and righteousness that go straight to the sky, resounding in the sky."
Today's pot of soup cakes, the ingredients are actually not bad at all, whether it is wheat noodles or mutton, they are all foods that Yun Mou couldn't ask for in the past, but these good ingredients are insulting to the hands of slaves, it's a pity. ”
He Yuanshan snorted and said, "What is the difference between gentleman's food and slave food? Four hundred steps away from the barracks, there is a restaurant opened by the Sui people, and in terms of taste, it is not as good as the food that Hou San rectified. ”
Yun Chu was not angry, and continued to bow his hand towards He Yuanshan: "It is also wheat noodles and mutton, Yun Mou will ask the pot tomorrow to taste what is gentleman's food and what is slave food." ”
He Yuanshan said coldly: "You are not a Tang person, what kind of gentleman, slave!" ”
Yun Chu laughed and said: "Am I a Tang person, the pot is aware of it, as for the gentleman's food and slave food, tomorrow will naturally be known, if you want to let your five internal organs temple get a feast tomorrow, please send the ingredients of the Ding Wok early." ”
After speaking, Yun Chu stood up, left the dining hall with his empty bowl, and when he passed by Menzi Hou San's side, he took out a small handful of golden gold from his arms and put it in his hand and said: "Where you have just offended, please don't mind, I just lost my words under anger, and the words of slaves and the like are just metaphors, not to you, this Jinsha, you should make amends." ”
Hou San held Jinsha in his hand with a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly said: "I am a house slave abandoned by others, and it is not wrong to say that I am a slave." ”
Yun Chu smiled and nodded, and walked away, quite a bit of a gentleman.
Daguan Ling Fangzheng threw down the pottery bowl in his hand and said to He Yuanshan with a smile: "I heard that people with ability have some tempers, do you still doubt that he is not a Tang person?" ”
He Yuanshan shook his head and said: "There is no doubt that he must be a son of the Tang Dynasty, but now I can't tell whether he is a prisoner or not!"
After returning in the morning, I flipped through the sea fishing documents that came from the Guannai, and there was no one that matched his age and appearance. ”
Liu Xiong said with a smile on the side: "I don't doubt that he is a prisoner of crime, or the son of a prisoner of crime, as long as he is a prisoner of crime, the Western Regions are so big, they will not deliberately deal with us." ”
As he spoke, he licked his lips and asked Fang Zheng with some expectation: "Guan Ling, you are also from a big family, what Yun Chu said about gentleman's food, is it delicious or not?" ”
Liu Xiong's words suddenly made Daguan Ling Fangzheng's eyes moisten, and he said in a low voice: "At home, Grandma loves me the most, and there must be a bowl of cow cheese in the early morning, sprinkled with soaked dried fruits, supplemented by honey......"
