Chapter 163: The Daughter-in-law's Path to Creation

"Slow work makes careful work, and the heat of a whole chicken wing is very important when it is roasted."

Li Yue sat on the small bench, and the small notebook was on his knees and carefully recorded.

Zhang Yang coated the wings with some sauce, "There is also a way to marinate chicken wings in advance, after marinating, it can remove blood and water and also absorb the flavor, I prefer not to marinate." ”

Li Yue nodded the small pen in his hand and kept writing.

Zhang Yang glanced sideways secretly.

Li Yue's reaction quickly covered her small notebook, pursed her lips and raised her small fist.

I don't know if it's because of the extra hammer, my daughter-in-law's fist is now a little stronger, and there is a little pain.

She didn't know what was written in her little notebook.

It's like her biggest secret, sooner or later, grab it and take a closer look.

Li Yue stared at the shiny chicken wings.

Zhang Yang handed her the roasted one, "It's cooked." ”

Li Yue held one end of the grilled chicken wings with her slender fingers, pinched the other end with her other hand, and bit the fattest part with her small mouth.

I don't know if it's because of her anemia when she was a child, Li Yue's skin is very fair, and she belongs to the kind that is white and red.

"It doesn't seem salty enough."

After speaking, Li Yue took out some sauce and brushed it again, and then put it by the fire to roast for a while.

The chicken wings re-entered, and Li Yue nodded, "It tastes very good now." ”

She prefers the part of the wingtips, which she holds in her mouth for a long time each time, and the bones of the wingtips are already baked to a crisp.

In April of the fifth year of Zhenguan, this season is the best time for spring outing.

Zhang Yang came out of the village in a carriage, He Bi and Ding Yu had already moved into the fief, and the future business was also in the fief.

The horse walked very slowly, and Zhang Yang found that no matter how much he whipped it, it was still at this speed.

Li Yue sat on the side and watched the spring scenery at the foot of Lishan Mountain.

After the carriage drove some distance, it looked better from a distance to see the appearance of the fiefdom at the foot of Li Mountain.

Li Yue greedily breathed in the fresh air.

The sky is not beautiful, and the rain is falling again.

The rain in this rainy season is endless, Li Yue held up an umbrella, leaned on her husband's shoulder, and also shielded her husband from the rain.

Fujun is a person with great ambitions, and he wants to take down the entire Lishan, which is something that ordinary men dare not think of.

The carriage was handed over to the groom in front of the city gate, and the two walked into Chang'an City.

On the way, Zhang Yang bought some sake lees.

The two walked around the East Market for a while, and the materials in Chang'an City were not scarce, Li Yue walked around the market for a while, and finally found what she wanted to buy, a pen and ink thirty wen.

Li Yue put the pen and ink into his small bag, "Go home." ”

"Are you no longer shopping?"

"There's nothing to buy, and the house is fully furnished."

If it weren't for the necessities of the house, she wouldn't have thought about buying them.

Back home, Li Yue tried the newly bought pen and ink.

Aunt Wang came back from the palace and whispered: "Your Royal Highness Princess, donkey, news from the palace." ”

Usually, Li Yue doesn't inquire about things in the palace.

The farther away from the royal family, the better.

Li Yue wiped his mouth, "What news." ”

Aunt Wang bowed slightly: "It is said that Xue Yantuo Khan has entered the customs." ”

With the hardware made by the Ministry of Engineering, I can now make more things, and I can show my craft to the fullest on this table.

I made a badminton racket and tried the elasticity of the net, which was not bad.

"Daughter-in-law! Let's play badminton. ”

"Okay!"

Li Yue's attention was immediately attracted.

One person with one racket, Zhang Yang explained, "You hit the ball, and then I hit the ball to you, and the cycle repeats." ”

"Hmm."

Li Yue nodded heavily.

Zhang Yang swung a ball, and the badminton made of this cork was a bit bulky.

The two of them can have fun and have fun.

From the beginning of passing the ball to each other, the distance between the two became farther and farther away, and they both began to get serious unconsciously.

Badminton is a good sport, especially to relax your lower back, shoulders.

Sometimes it's an afternoon when I read a book, and I'm really afraid that something will happen to my daughter-in-law's spine in the future.

Li Yue jumped up and caught a ball.

Zhang Yang called back again.

Aunt Wang watched from the sidelines, no matter how big the turmoil in the court was, it could not disturb the happy life of the horse and the princess.

Li Yue struggled to catch each ball.

Zhang Yang wielded the racket to put it mildly.

Finally the shuttlecock landed, and this time she didn't catch it.

Li Yue picked up the badminton on the ground, "I think there must be a rule." ”

"What rules."

Li Yue drew a line on the ground, "Every time the ball has to cross this line." ”

The heart said that she could still figure out the rules on her own.

Looking at this line, Zhang Yang frowned and said: "This line is not right, why is my place so big, and my place is so small, you are about to stand by the wall, this condition is not equal." ”

"You just rely on your height to bully me, don't want to take advantage."

Li Yue said fiercely.

Both of them are a little angry, and the daughter-in-law also has a temper.

Li Yue waved his racket, "Catch the ball." ”

Watching the ball fly, Zhang Yang still took it skillfully.

Despite drawing a line, he still couldn't beat her husband, Li Yue picked up the ball with difficulty, wiped the sweat from her forehead and took off her coat.

Her sweat ran from her hair to her white neck.

Zhang Yang found that she had overlooked one thing, and since the symptoms of her anemia had lessened, she had become more and more slim.

The usual dress does not show off her figure.

A fifteen-year-old girl is outstanding for having this figure.

After a little distraction, Zhang Yang missed a ball.

"Hahaha!" Li Yue crossed her hands on her waist and smiled.

"Watch the ball!"

Zhang Yang swung another ball.

Li Yue continued with great difficulty, and suddenly shouted: "Slow! ”

Zhang Yang was puzzled: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Yue picked up the ball on the ground again, "I think we should pull another rope, and our ball must cross this rope." ”

While playing, the rules are getting more and more perfect, and it is almost time to draw a badminton court on the spot.

Li Yue poured a few mouthfuls of water into his mouth.

Zhang Yang stretched his limbs, "I think there should be a scoreboard, and two aunts should be the referees." ”

"Scoreboard and referee?"

"Well, whoever wins a goal counts a point, including out of bounds and missed balls."

Li Yue nodded vigorously, "Fujun's idea is very good, I think ten balls to decide the outcome of a game is the best." ”

"Ten goals is too little, I think 21 goals is the best, and the one who leads by two points wins one game."

Li Yue put on his coat again, "I want to win two out of three games." ”

The couple came to a consensus and then started working together on the rules of badminton.

You even have to pull up a net at home so you can avoid controversy over whether the ball crosses the line.

Early the next morning, before it was fully lit every day, because she hadn't run like this for a long time, Li Yue woke up in the morning and felt a sore ankle.

"Husband, your feet are like lead." Li Yue walked with a limp.

"It's because you haven't run like this for a long time, it's normal."

Zhang Yang lifted her feet to his knees and pressed her on the sore part.

The daughter-in-law's feet are very good-looking, and she belongs to the kind that she can't get tired of looking at no matter how she looks at it.

His feet were grabbed by his big hands, but it was really much more comfortable to press it like this, Li Yue blushed and whispered, "When will it stop hurting?" ”

"As soon as this afternoon, the slowest tomorrow will alleviate some of the symptoms, and there will be no such problems if you insist on running like this in the future."

"Hmm." Li Yue nodded in response.

"It shouldn't be a big deal to warm it up again."

"Horse, it's time for the morning dynasty." Aunt Wang's words came from outside the courtyard.

Li Yue retracted his feet, "Husband, let's go to the court first." ”

Seeing that his daughter-in-law's feet were a little reluctant, Zhang Yang put on an official hat and walked out of the house.

Walk quickly to the Chengtian Gate, the door has been opened, and everyone has just entered.

Xu Jingzong was surprised: "Zhang Shilang has come a little late. ”

Zhang Yang smiled: "You are very punctual. ”

The two walked towards the Taiji Hall together, and Xu Jingzong whispered, "Have you heard about yesterday's incident?" ”

"Yi Nan Khan has entered the customs?"

"I was really fooled."

"When will it arrive?" Zhang Yang asked in a low voice.

"It's almost here, and it's only a matter of the next few days."

Listening to Xu Jingzong's narration, Li Shimin's will to Xue Yantuo was full of appreciation, and even wanted to call him a brother and brother, half a month has passed since the plan was formulated, and Yinan Khan is on his way to Chang'an, waiting to accept the honor that belongs to him.

Xu Jingzong said again, "I heard that this Yinan Khan also wants to marry a princess of the Tang Dynasty, this time Xue Yantuo has prepared a lot of things, saying that it is imperative." ”

Walking into the Taiji Palace, the courtiers here were all talking in low voices.

The morning pilgrimage begins as usual and ends as usual.

When he went down to court, Zhang Yang kept up with Li Xiaogong's footsteps, and as soon as he returned to the Ministry of Rites, he would sleep without moving, and he had to take advantage of this time to talk to him, otherwise he would have no chance.

"The King of the River." Zhang Yang hurriedly stopped him.

"The money will be given to you another day, what are you anxious about?"

"It's not about business."

"What's that?" Li Xiaogong's footsteps did not stop.

"The rumors that Yi Nan Khan is going to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty are right, right?"

"Your Majesty hasn't agreed yet."

"This princess can't be married."

Walking into the palace of the Ministry of Rites, Li Xiaogong sat down and sighed: "But this Yi Nan Khan brought a lot of livestock from Xue Yantuo, and there is a lot of gold and silver, and the emperor's heart is unpredictable. ”

Zhang Yang walked up to him and said the next arrangement.

After hearing this, Li Xiaogong's eyes widened, "You...... You, you, you! ”

"Why are you so frightened?"

"You're too bold, can you do this kind of thing?"

"It's good that you didn't let Yi Nan Khan die on the road."

Li Xiaogong lowered his voice, "Do you know what the consequences of doing this are?" ”

"Don't be in vain!"

Xu Jingzong leaned over and asked, "What is Zhang Shilang's clever plan?" ”

The three of them talked in a low voice, making a more complete plan.

Zhang Yang finally instructed: "The king of Hejian County will organize manpower, and Xu Jingzong will arrange the way back." ”

Li Xiaogong looked at Zhang Yang, "What about you?" ”

"I will go to see Your Majesty in advance, and then explain to Your Majesty after I finish the matter first."

A bold plan was completed in the Ministry of Rites, just waiting to be implemented, Li Xiaogong sneered: "If Your Majesty blames it at that time, what should you do?" ”

Zhang Yang took a step back and saluted Li Xiaogong and said, "It's all the idea of the King of Hejian County, we are just acting on orders." ”

"Good, good." Li Xiaogong said hello twice.

Knowing Zhang Yang's plan, Xu Jingzong was worried, crazy! The people in this Ministry of Rites, from the Shangshu to the Shilang, are all crazy.

Xu Jingzong felt like a thief ship.

It doesn't matter if it's a thief ship, the problem is that the thieves on this ship are still bold.

I regret it.

Xu Jingzong looked at the blue sky outside, "Zhang Shilang." ”

Zhang Yang nodded, "Please speak." ”

Xu Jingzong sighed: "If Zhang Shilang wants to resign one day, can he resign with his subordinates." ”

"If you resign, who will do the things of the Ministry of Rites in the future?"

Xu Jingzong wiped his tears, "There are old people in the lower officials, and there are young people in the lower officials, and life is not easy to ......."

"It seems that our Ministry of Rites is still short of manpower."

"Zhang Shilang has someone you like?"

"Nope."

"Alas......"

In the Ministry of Rites, the government sorted out the recent situation of the Turks, and the old ministry of Jieli Khan has also begun to act.

As soon as noon arrived, Zhang Yang left the palace.

Li Yue's ankle is still recovering, and he can't play badminton today, because of the soreness caused by the running the day before, and he has to rest for a day today.

The quality of the racket is worse than you think, or it may be because the badminton made of cork is too heavy.

The net appears a little loose.

Li Yue held the delicate small teacup she made herself, "Husband, today's waterwheels mostly use water power to cooperate with pools and connecting cylinders, which can send low water and high delivery, but I always feel that the efficiency is not very high." ”

Zhang Yang trims the badminton net.

Li Yue took a sip of tea and continued: "Wouldn't it be better if we borrowed the transmission of force to increase the force range of the waterwheel, throw away the original bulkiness of the cylinder car, and use this power conversion with light and high efficiency." ”

Zhang Yang stopped what he was doing, his daughter-in-law stopped making hot air balloons and wanted to transform the waterwheel, what a creative daughter-in-law.

Li Yue nodded and said, "I think I can build a better waterwheel, a waterwheel that produces more water and is more efficient." ”

At present, the waterwheels used in Datang are some relatively bulky cylinder trucks, or manual trampling.

There is a husband who is very good at manual work, and he taught her some basic applications of mechanics, is the daughter-in-law going to move forward on the road of invention?

After having a goal, the daughter-in-law said that she would do it, and immediately asked Aunt Yang to go outside to find a waterwheel to send it over.

Seeing Li Yue squinting and smiling, Zhang Yang gasped, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Yue grinned, "Actually, this is all the idea that my husband gave me." ”

Zhang Yang blinked, "When did I give you this idea?" ”

Li Yue sat down on the side, "Actually, my husband's spinning wheel is different from the spinning wheel outside, I have carefully thought about the fact that sometimes the waterwheel is the same, if it can be done well, it can be regarded as benefiting the community." ”

After sitting on the chair for a while, Li Yue stood up again, "If we make more useful things, will my father really give us Lishan?" ”

"Perhaps." Zhang Yang couldn't bear to hurt her innocence.

Li Shimin is not as atmospheric as she thought.
