Chapter 25 A Better Life

Li Tai saluted again and again, "Erchen understands. ”

After sending off his father, Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief.

Walking on the way back to the palace, Li Shimin's expression was solemn.

Yue'er was reluctant to return to the palace, and her former daughter was so estranged from me.

In the past two years, he has neglected to take care of Yue'er, and Li Shimin thinks that he feels a little guilty.

No matter how he is Yue'er's husband, this person still has to see him with his own eyes to understand.

Grain shops in Chang'an City.

Zhang Yang carried more than ten bags of soybeans into the grain store, and the shopkeeper said with a smile: "Young man, I'll give you an extra five cents today." ”

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhang Yang pointed to the water tank on the side and said, "It's still the old rule to change some sauce." ”

The shopkeeper wondered, "Do you like to eat sauce?" ”

Zhang Yang nodded.

The shopkeeper frowned and looked at him for a while, took ten catties of sauce and took another catty of millet and handed it to him and said: "The grain has been moved in the past few days, and there will be no work for you tomorrow, these sauces and millet will be given to you, and thirty-five yuan will be given to you, so you should make a friend." ”

"Thank you."

The shopkeeper nodded with satisfaction, this young man still knows how to count etiquette, which is really rare.

I value him more and more in my heart.

Zhang Yang returned home and started making soy sauce.

Li Yue looked at these black sauces curiously, and sniffed them carefully.

Place a bamboo basket in the center of the sauce.

The water in the sauce is squeezed, and the black sauce flows into the bamboo basket.

There is not much soy sauce that can be made from these sauces, and there should be about two jars.

"That's what you call soy sauce?"

"Hmm."

"Can you eat this dark ground?"

Li Yue said with disgust in his eyes.

Zhang Yang poured the squeezed soy sauce into a cloth bag and filtered it clean, filtered out the impurities, and then poured it into a small jar.

Soy sauce is mainly extracted from fermented soybeans.

In the records of later generations, the earliest soy sauce writing was in the Song Dynasty.

Earlier, there were also records of meat being used as a sauce.

Later, I found that using soybeans to make sauce tastes better and is cheaper.

The cost of making soybean sauce is low.

Soon it spread among the people.

The taste is saltier than the bean paste of later generations.

However, there are also many debates in historiography about the earliest record of the appearance of soy sauce.

Anyway, I have soy sauce at home.

Looking at the soy sauce in the jar, Zhang Yang said: "Our quality of life has improved by a small step, which should be celebrated." ”

Li Yue said: "Drink! ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Well, drink." ”

After working by the stove for a while, Zhang Yang first put some fat meat into the hot pot to squeeze the oil, and when the oil was squeezed out, he took out the lard residue inside.

The pork in the other pot has been blanched.

Zhang Yang carefully wrote the pork, put it in the oil pot and began to make braised pork.

I made a bowl of braised pork and fished out some chicken feet that were soaked yesterday.

Two dishes are placed on the table.

Li Yue took the lead in picking up chopsticks, picked up the braised pork and chewed it slowly, and said with a retrospect: "It turns out that pork can be so delicious." ”

Zhang Yang also tasted it, and it seemed to be a little too salty.

It seems that there is a lot of salt in this sauce.

Next time you do it, put it in less.

With that, she poured two bowls of wine.

Don't look at Li Yue's thin body, her alcohol consumption should not be underestimated.

Li Yue took a sip of wine and said: "Braised pork with a sip of wine is indeed a unique taste." ”

Seeing Li Yue's expression of enjoyment, Zhang Yang was like a great enemy, and he also took a sip of wine.

This time it was necessary to drink to win her.

I haven't seen her drunk until now.

Li Yue poured some more wine and poured some for Zhang Yang.

After drinking some wine, Li Yue's little face flushed, but there was no sign of drunkenness.

Zhang Yang looked at the wine in his bowl, he had already drunk a bowl, and his brain was a little groggy at the moment.

I took another sip of it.

Zhang Yang looked at Li Yue's expression, and she also ate a bite of braised pork with a calm expression.

Li Yue picked up the wine bowl and said, "To our good life." ”

Zhang Yang also picked up the wine bowl, "Respect our quality of life has also improved one step." ”

The two touched the wine bowl, and Zhang Yang poured another sip.

Looking at Li Yue's wine bowl again, the wine in her bowl has been drunk.

Looking at his wine bowl again, Zhang Yang felt that after two more sips, he would get drunk.

Li Yue ate pickled pepper and phoenix feet and said, "Your cold dish also tastes quite flavorful." ”

Seeing Li Yue eating with his mouth shut, Zhang Yang became more and more puzzled.

Could it be that she is still not drunk for a thousand cups?

Li Yue put a chicken claw in Zhang Yang's bowl with chopsticks, "Eat it too." ”

Zhang Yang slowly picked up the chopsticks, feeling that the light in front of him was not very bright, and Li Yue, who was sitting in front of him, still had a ghost.

After a while, Zhang Yang felt that his eyes were getting darker and darker, until he couldn't hold his head.

Lost to her again.

Feeling bad after a hangover.

Zhang Yang woke up and felt a dry mouth and a faint headache.

Li Yue came with a bowl of boiling water, "Take a sip." ”

After taking a sip of hot water, it is much more comfortable in my mouth and stomach.

Married a daughter-in-law who drank more than herself.

It's really a melancholy thing.

It seems that it will be difficult to find opportunities to come back in the future.

A simple bite of breakfast.

Zhang Yang took out the cash box and counted the money with Li Yue.

Seeing so many silver cakes and copper coins in the cash box, Li Yue was also surprised, Zhang Yang was able to save so much silver money with his family's frugality.

After counting carefully, the couple counted it.

Counting the silver cake given by King Wei before.

Li Yue calculated and said, "A total of six hundred and fifty-three dollars." ”

After speaking, Li Yue put all the money into the box again, "We have a lot of money at home." ”

If you calculate the cost of opening a store.

About 300 yuan can be used to pay for labor and ingredients.

This money is enough to last for a month or two.

If you want to set up a store in Chang'an City, the price will be higher.

So choose near Lantian County.

And because the people of Guanzhong are good at hunting in autumn.

Especially those who are dignitaries.

In many cases, Lishan is their first choice for safaris.

Lantian County is next to Lishan, and if you open a store outside Lantian County, you should not have to worry about the source of customers during the autumn safari.

As long as the first business is done.

The food is good enough to not worry about having no repeat customers.

In terms of cooking, Zhang Yang is still very confident.

Regardless of the age of the company, it has always been important to collect information.

First of all, the price of land near Lantian County is not high, and hunting is popular in autumn, and the Lishan area is the best choice for safaris.

At this time, opening a store in this area, at least you won't lose much.

In the past two days, Zhang Yang didn't plan to go out, and made a simple range hood in his home.

The principle of a range hood is similar to that of an exhaust fan.

It's just that Zhang Yang plans to make a pedal range hood.

When you step on the pedal, you can pull the rope, and the other end of the rope is tied to the bracket on the fan, and the fan can be rotated with the repeated pull of the rope.
