The chef of the Yang Chuan family naturally doesn't know how to make braised pork with honey sauce, because, since he killed the old lady of Guantao, he has completely eliminated this dish from the 'Yang's recipe'.

Therefore, when Ah Tie scratched the back of his head a little shyly and replied with a smile, 'This really won't', Chen Ajiao's face not only did not get angry, but seemed to be relieved.

She asked, "So what will you cook?" ”

Ah Tie arched his hand and said: "It depends on what flavor of food the noble person wants to eat." ”

"The ingredients and seasonings in Chang'an City are not very good, many times, we only eat the meat and vegetables and rice noodles brought from home, or the boy makes a sour soup noodle for the nobles, which is refreshing and pleasant, and is most suitable for eating in the crisp autumn season......."

Chen Ajiao thought for a while and said, "Then let's make a sour noodle soup." ”

Ah Tie nodded, turned around and went down to get busy.

Chen Ajiao turned her head and asked Princess Nangong with a smile: "Cousin Nangong, you don't feel at ease to cultivate your body, how can you get involved in such a bad thing as court disputes?" I remember that you were very gentle and lovely, and your personality was as soft as a lamb. ”

Princess Nangong smiled: "The way of the world has changed, and people should also change." ”

The two were relatively silent.

In the crisp autumn of Chang'an City, they were also young, and they were as innocent as mountain flowers, and in the blink of an eye, the world is like the wind, and many things have changed.

"Queen Gillian, come, drink tea."

"Your Royal Highness, would you like to add some hot water to you?"

Seeing that the two big men were silent, Zhuo's family, who was sitting on the side, had no choice but to get up, add water and tea to the two of them, and peel and wash a few seasonal fruits.

"Zhuo, you're fine."

Chen Ajiao suddenly opened her mouth and said indifferently: "Yang Chuan said, since Sang Hongyang is dead, the world of Tianfu is naturally yours, and the palace has asked people to go to Yousi, bought all the property, and completed all the trivial chores, the owner of that property is still your Zhuo Wenjun."

In this way, you can go back and accept the business. ”

Zhuo Shi was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up and said: "No, the concubine doesn't dare to accept the gift of the noble......"

Chen Ajiao said lightly: "It was Yang Chuan who asked Bengong to do this. ”

Zhuo shut up.

Among these top bigwigs, she is the daughter of a businessman, and she has no choice at all; Especially when she heard that it was arranged by Yang Chuan, she stopped talking.

Chen Ajiao took a bowl of three forts, took a small sip, and praised it perfunctorily, 'delicious', and continued: "Yang Chuan asked Man Yue'er to send a message to the palace, saying that you should let Zhuo's family take care of the world of Tianfu, as for the rouge gouache shop, with the palace and my cousin Nangong taking care of it, it is expected that there is no big problem." ”

"Also, when you go to the world of heaven, you must send away all the original women, give them some entanglements to return to their hometowns, or settle somewhere on the spot, and buy some fields so that they can live."

"Those women are all hard-working people selected by Sang Hong Yang from among the people and animals, don't be embarrassed."

Chen Ajiao thought for a while, and then advised: "Except for those cooks in the back hall, everyone else is sent clean, and none of the old people can be left, who knows if there are any people from Gongsun Hong and Sang Hong Yang among them......"

……

Half an hour later, the meal began.

As A Tie said, there are no fresh vegetables, meat and eggs in Chang'an City, and many things can only be transported back and forth from Zhuangzi hundreds of miles away, which is very inconvenient, so it can only be made up of two.

Sure enough, yes, okay?

A large plate of stir-fried shredded tripe, sprinkled with some tender green onions and coriander, with its delicious and fragrant taste, it makes people salivate; There are also those small cold dishes, which are also very eye-catching.

Cold salad shredded bamboo shoots, bitter and bitter vegetables in syrup, marinated beef tendon in sauce, cold-cut lamb meat, sesame fragrant chicken gizzards...... It's still home-cooked food, what makes Chen Ajiao's eyes shine, but after all, it is those small pickles, white and white, green and green, red and some pink, are they not wild vegetables that can be picked in the field?

What especially makes Chen Ajiao feel comfortable is still those porcelain.

More than half a year ago, a new thing called 'porcelain' was born, no one knows where it came from, anyway, it is white and clear, and the quality is better than that of mutton fat jade, and now, it has become the favorite of the rich people at the top of the Han Empire.

In any Hou Mansion, if there is no one or two sets of tea sets, wine utensils and tableware for entertaining distinguished guests, people will be disgusted and laughed at.

A set of porcelain, at every turn, requires dozens of acres of water to water the land of money and grain, who does not cherish it very much, carefully served.

But.

Look at Yang Chuan's family's small shop in Chang'an City, porcelain can be seen everywhere.

Pots for planting flowers and trees, small tanks for raising fish, basins for receiving water under the eaves, jars for pickles in the kitchen, basins, plates, bowls, and vinegar pots for eating......

Chen Ajiao admitted that even if she is as rich as her, she is not so showy.

Facing a pot of bright, white, and green sour noodle soup, Chen Ajiao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "The chef of the Yang Chuan family is really good, just this simple pot of sour soup noodles is very eye-catching." ”

Princess Nangong smiled: "Look at your selfish appearance, it's just a pot of sour noodle soup, just because it's from Yang Chuan's family, you praise it so much?" ”

Chen Ajiao sighed: "No way, when I think of the full moon, our mothers, our hearts will soften." ”

"Liu Che is so ruthless."

"I think that at the beginning, the full moon had just been full moon, and I had a high fever all night, so I guarded it all night, and when I woke up, the palace people told me that my full moon continued to have a high fever, and it was gone, and I was taken out and thrown away by the emperor himself."

"Cousin Nangong, you don't know, at that time...... Alas, that's it, this is good, how can I talk about those past events. ”

Princess Nangong fumbled and picked up a pair of chopsticks and handed them over, and said softly: "Gillian, come, eat first." ”

Chen Ajiao took the chopsticks, first scooped a bowl of noodles for Princess Nangong, and then scooped a bowl for herself, and looked at the four small dishes on the table: "Full Yue'er said that Yang Chuan's pickles and cold vegetables are unparalleled in the world, and the palace still doesn't believe it, and today I can finally taste it." ”

While speaking, she stuffed a chopstick cabbage heart into her mouth, and after only chewing it two or three times, her eyes lit up: "Tsk, refreshing, crisp and tender, sweet and sour, with a faint taste of refined salt, it is really delicious." ”

Princess Nangong took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by the maid, ate the meal slowly, and said with a smile: "Gillian, don't you want to taste a bite of stir-fried tripe?" ”

When Chen Ajiao heard this, she sandwiched a chopstick tripe shred, tried to explore it, and stuffed it into her mouth with disgust: "To be honest, I haven't eaten much about the internal organs and intestines of cattle and sheep, and I always feel that thing is ......."

"Hmm, it tastes okay."

"Hey, yes, yes!"

"Cousin Nangong, you also take a bite ......"

In the blink of an eye, the wind swept away, and a large plate of fried tripe shreds was eaten by the former queen of the big man, and by the way, she also used a white porcelain spoon to scoop some of the soup on the plate and stuff it into her mouth.

After eating this time, Ah Tie and several other serving teenagers and little women were dumbfounded, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, and everyone blushed a little.

Princess Nangong listened to Chen Ajiao's 'eating appearance', a gentle smile appeared on her wrinkled face, and she knocked on the table with chopsticks angrily, and scolded: "Gillian, how old are you, why do you still eat like this?" ”

Chen Ajiao laughed, and washed briefly with the water brought by a little woman, and then said with a comfortable face: "This meal is the most fragrant and comfortable after the palace left Chang'an City." ”

"Who's that, tip."

"Today, everyone in the kitchen waits, five taels of gold per person!"

She waved her hand very heroically, and immediately, a backing woman opened a bag, grabbed a large handful of golden beans from it, and stuffed it to Ah Tie.

Ah Tie took the gold, bowed down and gave a salute, his mouth was grateful, but he casually distributed the gold beans to everyone: "Everyone remember, this is the gold rewarded by the nobles, don't go out and spend it, you can store it in our Zhuangzi when you turn around, take it and use it as you like, and there will be a profit share every month." ”

Looking at the happy appearance of a group of teenagers and little women, Chen Ajiao suddenly came to her senses and couldn't help asking, "Ah Tie, you say...... Your coins can be deposited in Zhuangzi, and you can still receive a share of the profit every month? ”

Profit sharing is roughly the meaning of interest.

Those big dogs in Chang'an City, many people are putting 'high boards', that is, the meaning of usury, also known as 'Yinzi money', in the year of famine, that thing is a murderous weapon, I don't know how many people sell their sons and daughters, sell their fields and livestock, but after all, they can't afford to pay back that share of profits, so they become servants.

Yang Chuan's family didn't want to put 'Yinzi money' outside, why did they have to share the profits of those who saved money?

Isn't this a pure fool?

Chen Ajiao's face gradually turned cold: "On the Zhuangzi of the Yang Chuan family, is there really such a thankless thing?" ”

Ah Tie nodded and said respectfully: "Yes, my son-in-law said that the most valuable thing in the world is money, but at the same time, the least valuable thing is also money; Therefore, my son-in-law opened a small money bank on Zhuangzi, as long as he deposited money, grain, silk and silk into it, every month, a little profit will be added......"

Chen Ajiao asked with some curiosity: "Right now, how much money has been deposited?" ”

Ah Tie stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, turned his head to look at Princess Nangong on the side, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense for a while.

Because, when Yang Chuan left Chang'an City and went to Shuofang County to take up his post, he made it very clear that all the affairs of the family were handed over to Princess Nangong to help take care of them.

"Cousin Nangong, let's talk about it," Chen Ajiao could also see that Princess Nangong was the 'main master', "Yang Chuan's move is tantamount to sticking money into it for nothing, even if you have millions of family wealth, I'm afraid you can't afford to scatter money so indiscriminately, right?" ”

"No wonder that thief is very popular, it turns out that he is a fortune boy?"

Princess Nangong smiled: "It's very important to make money, and it's not bad to earn a little reputation, cousin Gillian, if you want to be Yang Chuan's mother-in-law in peace, don't be arrogant and unreasonable like in our family, be careful of being kicked out of the door." ”

Chen Ajiao said angrily: "He dares!" ”

Princess Nangong chuckled and said: "Your precious son-in-law, but even Liu Yu dares to pretend not to know, become a servant, and let the emperor give him a hand, grinding beans for most of the night." ”

Chen Ajiao was stunned for several breaths: "He...... Not angry? ”

"He's naturally angry," Princess Nangong took a sip of tea and said meaningfully: "But cousin Gillian, it's very strange that you said things in this world, the emperor was called by that kid to grind beans, and he was scratched by your full moon, so he didn't hold a grudge very much." ”

"On the contrary, listening to my eldest sister, it was after that time that Liu Che finally recognized Yang Chuan in his heart, not only did he not get angry, but instead knighted him and entered the official, it seems that he really regarded him as a son-in-law."

Chen Ajiao was stunned.

What kind of man is Liu Che, she Chen Ajiao is still unclear? It's polite to say that hegemony and tyranny, and in many cases, that man is simply a tyrant who can't listen to other people's words at all......

"Okay, let's not talk about Qianzhuang," Chen Ajiao was stunned for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Let's discuss first, how to sell Yang Chuan's rouge gouache, shower gel, facial cleanser and soap." ”

"By the way, there's one more thing, we have to do it at the same time."

Princess Nangong turned her face sideways and asked, "How do you act?" ”

Chen Ajiao sat up straight and said quite solemnly: "Rouge gouache, shower gel and so on are easy to do, just you and I join forces, show your face in the world of Tianfu, and let Cao Xiang preside over a few poetry meetings......"

Princess Nangong asked curiously: "In the world of Tianfu, hold a poetry meeting?" ”

Chen Ajiao laughed: "Look, sure enough, even you, the second aunt, can't guess what Yang Chuan's kid wants to do, let alone others, it is estimated that he will become Yang Chuan's faction." ”

"He said that the kind of place in the world of Tianfu, let the laity run and take care of it, it is naturally a filthy place where drunken people gather, just a kiln and a hook fence, which is not interesting."

"However, if you let a noble person like me take care of it, coupled with Cao Xiang's reputation for poetry and writing, it is easy to become a gathering place for literati second only to Tai Academy."

"My first reaction when I heard this was similar to yours, I wanted to slap that stubborn thing out of the air, and then step on it a few times to relieve my hatred...... But after thinking about it, that kid's plan is really interesting. ”

Princess Nangong scolded angrily: "What's the point?" Tarnished your reputation and my reputation, and made his boy's reputation? ”

Chen Ajiao laughed a few more times, and then said: "This is the crux of the matter, do you think, I, Chen Ajiao, am the queen canonized by Liu Che himself, although he later appointed Wei Zifu as the queen, but in fact, there has never been an edict to depose me Chen Ajiao, right?" ”

"Looking at the world, apart from Liu Che and Wei Zifu, who dares to smear my Chen Ajiao's face?"

"And the reputation of your Nangong princess, in the entire Han Dynasty, who dares to make a mistake? If anyone wants to smear your Nangong cousin's face and talk nonsense behind his back, without you and me, Liu Che will kill his three clans, believe it or not? ”

Princess Nangong was a little clear, but the look of confusion on her face never subsided: "But, what good can it be to toss like this?" ”

Chen Ajiao took a deep breath and said indifferently: "This move is nothing more than eye-catching, in order to cover up Yang Chuan's real killer feature." ”

"He said he wanted to kill someone this time."

"Kill a lot of people."

"Kill a lot, enemy."

The knife wound on the left hand is not healed, and typing with one hand is too painful. Reader, forgive me.
