In the middle courtyard of Luofu, Luo Zhang stood in front of the barbecue grill and grilled skewers of beef skewers.
The smoke filled the air, the aroma filled the air, and the entire Luofu was covered in the rich smell of roast beef.
Before the sun had fully risen, everyone was seduced by the smell and got up from the bed. They wanted to see where the rich fragrance came from. It was so fragrant and alluring.
When everyone followed the scent and came to the middle courtyard, they saw Luo Zhang wearing a royal mask standing in front of a barbecue grill, grilling meat, and couldn't help but become speechless.
What kind of meat is being grilled so early in the morning? Does Luo Zhang want to eat barbecue so early in the morning?
This idea was quickly rejected. Based on everyone's understanding of Luo Zhang, he is not such a person.
And when everyone saw the person standing next to Luo Zhang, they understood everything. After a long time, it was this person who wanted to eat barbecue.
It's just the kebabs we ate last night. Why do we want to eat them again before dawn?
And what we eat is beef skewers! This is too luxurious.
You must know that in the Tang Dynasty, every dead cow had to be registered and eventually sold. The price was very high, and ordinary people could not afford it. Only those high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants would buy it.
When they thought about it, someone must have died, and Luo Zhang bought some and baked them for the old man to have a try!
But when they saw a complete cow placed on a huge chopping board not far away, they were all confused.
What's happening here? Luo Zhang bought back a cow? How long will this take? Isn’t this playing the piano randomly?
Grandma was the first to be angry. Before Luo Zhang came back, Luo Mansion was frugal and was not allowed to waste money. Even if her life is better now, she is still the same. Money that should not be spent will never be spent carelessly. flower.
Who would have thought that his grandson would be so wasteful, buying a whole cow, so extravagant, how different would he be from those playboys?
Just when grandma was about to scold Luo Zhang, Mei Niang on the side had already noticed this situation. She hurriedly walked to grandma and whispered: "Grandma, this is the cow that the old man got back early in the morning. I'd rather not blame him." Marry your husband, he is not a wasteful person!"
Hearing Mei Niang's explanation, grandma was startled for a moment, and then she smiled bitterly. What could she say about the cow that this old gentleman brought back?
Could it be that you pointed at Sun Simiao and said, you can't do this, it's wrong for you to do this.
He's not your grandson, why do you care so much?
Thinking of this, grandma shook her head helplessly and said: "Tell Luo Zhang later, don't waste good things. Let's have a whole cow feast in Luo Mansion today!"
Grandma's words naturally reached the ears of everyone present.
When they heard about the whole beef feast, everyone had happy smiles on their faces. They hadn't eaten beef for a long time. They didn't expect that not only would they eat beef this time, but they would also have a whole beef feast. This is too luxurious!
When the news reached Luo Zhang's ears, Luo Zhang didn't know what to say. He worked on it for a long time. Everyone in this family is a foodie.
Luo Zhang didn't know how luxurious a meal of beef was in the eyes of the Tang people. Unlike in later generations, braised beef, potato stewed beef, dry-cut beef, etc. could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Wherever it was like in the Tang Dynasty, it was better to eat beef. You have to wait until the cow dies of old age before you can buy some. In the future, as long as you have money, you can eat whatever you want.
The whole beef feast does not refer to barbecue like Luo Zhang, but is divided into many dishes. For example, the meat will be removed and used as dishes. For example, the big bones will be boiled in a large iron pot to make broth. For example, the cow head will be used for sacrifice. , provided for ancestors to enjoy, etc. In short, the intricacies of Luo Zhang are confusing.
He doesn't have to worry about so much, he just needs to take good care of the little old man next to him.
Under his operation, Luo Zhang grilled the roast beef skewers, and finally entered Sun Simiao's belly. As for the wine, it was Erguotou.
Although highland barley wine is good, but Erguotou is strong, Sun Simiao naturally chooses Erguotou!
Liquor and beef are a perfect pairing!
Sun Simiao almost bit his tongue while eating.
After Luo Zhang finished his work, he was pulled aside by Mei Niang and told what grandma meant.
Luo Zhang looked at the remaining beef on the chopping board and felt that what grandma said was reasonable. Such good things should not be wasted. He waved his hand and said: "Carry them all away and give them to grandma for a whole beef feast. I haven't done that yet." After a whole beef feast, enjoy it today!”
Sun Simiao didn't care what Luo Zhang did with the remaining beef. Even if he could eat such a big cow, how much could he eat?
Just as grandma said, waste is shameful and should not be wasted. On the contrary, Sun Simiao also yearned for the whole cow feast, so he would not object if it was used as a whole cow feast.
After the people dispersed and the cow was dragged down, Mei Niang pulled Luo Zhang's sleeve and whispered softly: "Husband, can you let Dr. Sun help me take a look at the child in my belly?"
"Huh? Look at the baby in your belly? Didn't the doctor just show the baby in your belly a few days ago? Everything is normal. Is there something wrong?" Luo Zhang asked a little confused.
"No, I am...I want to..." Mei Niang said a little hard to say.
"Just tell me what you want, and I'll tell Grandpa Sun for you. It shouldn't be a big problem!" Luo Zhang comforted, although he didn't know what it was!
After being encouraged by Luo Zhang, Mei Niang gritted her teeth and said, "I want Doctor Sun to help me find out whether the baby in my belly is a boy or a girl!"
"Well!"
Luo Zhang was a little messy, and the wind blew his hair in front of his forehead, making him look a little dazed.
He never expected that Mei Niang asked him to ask Sun Simiao to see if she had a boy or a girl in her belly?
This kind of problem seems to run through ancient and modern times. Whether it is the Tang Dynasty or later generations, there is such a problem, that is, you want to know whether your child is a boy or a girl. Some families that favor boys over girls will even know that they are carrying a girl. Later, she went to the hospital to have a forced abortion, doing such unscrupulous things just to give birth to a son.
Could it be that Mei Niang also has this idea? If you found out you were pregnant with a girl, would you abort the child?
This is the Tang Dynasty. If you get rid of it, your life will be in danger. Even for future generations, there will be risks. Now the risk is even greater. It can be got rid of casually.
"Meiniang, what do you want to do?" Luo Zhang asked seriously.
Seeing Luo Zhang being so serious all of a sudden, Mei Niang was slightly startled and said, "I didn't want to do anything. I just wanted to ask if there was a boy or a girl in my belly."
"What if it's a boy? What if it's a girl?" Luo Zhang asked back!
"I like both boys and girls. I just want to know in advance so that I can make clothes for my children!" Mei Niang explained.
"Uh, are you asking this just because you want to make clothes for the child in advance?" Luo Zhang couldn't laugh or cry.
"Yes, it's not just me. Sister Gao Yang said she would come over to see Doctor Sun soon, and she also wants to make clothes for the child in advance!"
"Okay, your idea is good, but the child is so young, there is no need to distinguish between male and female. As for growing up, it's not too late to do it then!" Luo Zhang persuaded.
"Don't ask about this. What do you, a grown man, know?" Mei Niang rolled her eyes.
"Okay, I don't understand, then I'll tell you, okay!" Luo Zhang said angrily.
Seeing that Luo Zhang agreed, Mei Niang hurriedly told the maid beside her: "Go and tell Princess Gaoyang that your husband has agreed. There should be no problem!"
The maid nodded and ran towards the backyard, Princess Gaoyang's Mansion.
Looking at the maid walking away, Mei Niang caressed her belly, dazed there, not knowing what she was thinking!
When Luo Zhang came to Sun Simiao's yard and explained his purpose, Sun Simiao laughed loudly and waved: "This is not a big problem at all, he only needs to feel his pulse to know!"
Luo Zhang breathed a sigh of relief at these words. He finally completed the task assigned by his wife and was able to deal with him.
When Luo Zhang came to Mei Niang with Sun Simiao, who was half drunk, he found that there was one more person.
"Gao Yang, you came so fast?" Luo Zhang said, but his eyes were turned to Mei Niang.
At this time, if he can no longer see that this matter was instigated by Gao Yang, then he is an idiot.
Compared to Mei Niang, it was Gao Yang who wanted to have a son more.
Once her first child is a son, her status in Luofu will be deeply rooted, and this first son will also receive a reward from His Majesty. It can be said to be a double happiness, so she is very much looking forward to giving birth to a son!
