Chapter 20: The Troubles of Being an Imperial Sister
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Zhang Yang carried two pieces of silver cakes and returned home with a basket of vegetables.
Li Yue is having trouble with the dumpling skin at the moment.
Seeing that Zhang Yang was back, Li Yue put down the dumpling skin in a panic and sat aggrieved on the side.
Women do change their faces quickly. ,
Especially when she just faced the dumpling skin, her face was murderous.
In the blink of an eye, she regained the aggrieved appearance of a weak woman.
Li Yue said in a low voice; "This dumpling wrapper will open again every time you pinch it."
Zhang Yang cleaned up the messy stove and said, "You put too much meat stuffing." ”
Li Yue suddenly realized, "So that's the case, no wonder." ”
“……”
The little daughter-in-law's cooking ability is really a little urgent.
Li Yue washed his hands and said; "You seem to be in a good mood today."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I earned two silver cakes today." ”
"Two pieces of silver?"
"Yes."
"How did you earn it? Earn two pieces of silver bread a day. ”
Zhang Yang packed up the stove and sat down on the side, "I met a person who claimed to be the King of Wei today. ”
Li Yue frowned, and said in his heart, how could Qingque find it?
When Li Tai, the king of Wei, was a child, the small character was Qingque.
When he grew up, the elders in the clan were also called Li Taiqingque.
When he was very young, Li Tai was very naughty and often played, but he was also very clever and very good at pleasing his father and mother.
Li Tai, this kid is careful and jumpy, but his heart is still not bad.
I should be ten years old now.
Zhang Yang said again: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei originally came to ask me a question and wanted an answer, I originally wanted to scare him, saying that he wanted a hundred yuan, but I didn't expect him to take out a piece of silver cake without thinking about it." ”
“……”
Li Yue frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Then I thought about catching him, but he gave me another piece of silver cake."
Hearing that his younger brother was cheated by Zhang Yang for two pieces of silver cakes, he couldn't sit still, how could this Qingque be so ...... by Zhang Yang
Zhang Yang said again: "Daughter-in-law, you said that our Chang'an is still really simple and simple, and he is generous, and he doesn't bargain, hahaha!" ”
Li Yue: "......"
Zhang Yang said: "I want to be a brother with His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and a talent like King Wei is really rare." ”
Qingque is such a clever child, how could he fall for Zhang Yang?
Although not born to a mother.
Li Tai is the son-in-law, the eldest grandson of the queen.
But no matter how you say it, Qingque is also his younger brother.
When I was a child in the palace, Qingque still listened to her royal sister very much.
Li Yue looked at Zhang Yang and didn't know what to say, and sighed: "You even bullied a ten-year-old child." ”
Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said, "Where did I bully him, he sent it to the door himself." ”
There seems to be some truth to that.
Li Yue pondered for a moment again, wanting to speak for his younger brother, but it seemed that he couldn't talk about him, and looked in the direction of the Taiji Hall melancholy.
"How do you know that His Royal Highness King Wei is only ten years old."
Zhang Yang asked coldly.
Li Yue avoided his eyes and said, "I heard Aunt Wang next door say it." ”
Zhang Yang nodded thoughtfully and whispered, "Yes, I have always felt weird about Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang next door. ”
It wasn't until Zhang Yang returned to the house and saw that he didn't suspect that Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
In the evening, the couple sat opposite each other and ate dinner.
Zhang Yang said: "This His Royal Highness the King of Wei doesn't look very smart. ”
Li Yue ate pickles and fried shredded pork and said, "Really? ”
Zhang Yang said again: "Isn't it that the other brothers and sisters of the King of Wei are not too smart. ”
Li Yue finished the millet rice in the bowl, and went straight back to her room without speaking.
Today, the little daughter-in-law doesn't seem to be in a good mood.
Zhang Yang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks alone, and the girl always had such a few days of coolness.
On the second day, Li Yue drank meat porridge and looked at Zhang Yang.
At this moment, Zhang Yang was tinkering with green onions, ginger and garlic.
I don't know what the hell he's going to do?
Li Yue held a bowl of porridge and watched quietly while drinking.
After a while, Zhang Yang said, "Our family will have a little money soon." ”
"Small money?"
Li Yue said with some disgust: "Are you full of money?" ”
Putting the mashed green onion and ginger into a water bladder, Zhang Yang said: "Then you return the two jade pendants to me, and I will sell them." ”
"No way!"
Li Yue immediately turned his head and resolutely refused: "Then you better go out and earn money." ”
Carrying a water bladder, Zhang Yang walked out of the courtyard gate.
Aunt Wang, who was sweeping the floor, smiled and said, "Xiao Zhang is going out to work again?" ”
"yes."
……
Counting yesterday's hour, Zhang Yang came to Suzaku Street and waited at the agreed location yesterday.
In the era when there were no clocks, the concept of time was not as clear as later generations.
Most people's conception of time depends on the sun in the sky, or the shadows.
Large families may put a sundial at home, and they can see the current time according to the shadow of the needle, which is also a more reliable method.
After waiting for a while, Ding Yu and the others came.
Ding Yu was carrying a middle-aged man, who was carrying a large lump of meat.
The middle-aged man has a scruffy beard and looks very wild.
The other party was also looking at Zhang Yang.
Ding Yu introduced: "Brother He, this is the noble person I am talking about. ”
The man carried the meat and said, "Why bother, what to call in person." ”
What a simple name......
Zhang Yang introduced himself: "My surname is Zhang, you can call me Xiao Zhang." ”
The other party's eyes looked Zhang Yang up and down again.
Why bother to put down the meat on your back and say, "I heard Ding Yu say that you have a way to barbecue meat?" ”
Zhang Yang said with a smile; "I understand a little."
Why bother nodded vigorously and said, "Let's go, let's take a step to speak." ”
Ding Yu smiled and said: "We who make food rely on craftsmanship to eat, and generally do manual work without showing it to others." ”
The three of them came to a clearing outside the city, where there was a fire and a few wooden shelves.
Zhang Yang said: "How do you usually barbecue meat. ”
Why bother putting meat on a wooden shelf; "Of course, I put it directly on it, and when the meat is cooked, put salt, and if it is better, you can also put some pepper."
Observing the meat that was put on it, Zhang Yang said, "Pork? ”
Why bother snorted coldly and said, "What? Do you still eat beef? Can you eat it? Lamb also has to pay for it, as long as the pork that no one wants is cheap. ”
It is true that no one in Datang eats pork.
The masses eat mutton a little.
The powerful can't eat beef blatantly if they want to, and this year's cattle are precious, and killing a cow that can plough the land is a felony.
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "I'm not saying that pork is bad, but I think pork is very good, and pork is very nourishing." ”
Saying this, why bother to start barbecuing, putting on a posture that no one knows more about barbecue than me.
Clearing his throat, Zhang Yang said again; "This pork is just roasted and eaten, and it is not processed first, isn't it panicked to eat?"
