"Brother Tang? Is there MSG in this dish?"
Li Zhen looked at the table of food, but he didn't expect that he could eat the MSG and chili oil that his brothers were so obsessed with so easily.
Today I got separated from a few people on the mountain and lost my way, but Li Zhen is not stupid. Since he can't find the direction, walking towards a low place is the way out of the mountain, right?
Originally, they planned to go to Shanghe Village to exchange things with Tang Ping when they went hunting in the mountains, so they chose the road into the mountains near Shanghe Village.
Although Li Zhen was a roadie, he was lucky. He walked out of the mountain and arrived at Shanghe Village, where he happened to meet Tang Ping.
Tang Ping also wondered if this boy wasn't one of the second-generation officials who came to see him that day? I just don’t know whose son he is.
After asking about it, well, it turns out it belongs to a British official.
Li Zhen was too embarrassed to say that he couldn't find his way back to Chang'an. He only said that he wanted to wait here for Cheng Chumo and the others to come out of the mountain.
Tang Ping nodded in agreement, and although the child looked strong and strong, he was actually not yet sixteen years old, so he was only a freshman in high school.
So Tang Ping didn't care too much about him and invited him to wait in his yard. When Cheng Chumo and others were not seen at night, he asked Lao Cui and Lao Du to take a flashlight to the intersection of the village and the mountain to take a look. , and then he entertained him at home and ate the meal first.
Tang Ping looked at Li Zhen who was devouring his food, and asked somewhat speechlessly: "So you guys went into the mountains to hunt in exchange for spicy oil?"
To be honest, he really didn't expect that these were the top rich second generations of the Tang Dynasty. They were not arrogant and extravagant, but at least... they wouldn't be reduced to going into the mountains to hunt in exchange for food, right?
"Well, yes! This is so delicious!" Li Zhen swore that even if he went to the palace banquet with his father, he would not be as delicious as what he ate today.
"You don't have any...pocket money or anything?"
"Pocket money?" Li Zhen thought for a moment: "Oh, you're talking about regular money, right? Yes, I have 100 yuan a month! Fang Jun has the most, and his mother can give him about 500 yuan a month!"
In the Zhenguan year in history, one dollar was equivalent to about seven yuan. However, the place where Tang Ping came was not yet so prosperous and its purchasing power was much weaker, so it was roughly equivalent to two yuan.
In other words, a British father-in-law like Li Zhen has 200 yuan of pocket money a month, while Fang Yiai has almost 1,000 yuan.
This may be more than the pocket money of ordinary high school students in future generations, but it is definitely not as good as those rich second generations.
It can also be seen from this that the officials of the Tang Dynasty in this era did not seem to be very wealthy.
Sure enough, Li Zhen then said: "My father's monthly salary basically subsidizes his brothers in the army, and their brothers' families are not much different."
After saying that, he started eating again.
This is a Zhenguan without a prosperous age, which is much more dangerous than the Zhenguan in history. Tang Ping wants to leave here as soon as possible.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the hospital. If you listened carefully, you would know that it was Lao Cui and Lao Du who had brought the person back.
"Li Zhen, you are a tough guy, I didn't tell you not to..."
Fang Yiai took the lead and pushed open Tang Ping's courtyard door. Just as he was about to start spraying, he saw the old man who casually let go of several of his people that day looked over casually.
"Ahem...that..."
Although he is stupid, he also knows that a good man will not suffer the consequences of his immediate loss. His cold eyes looked clearly dissatisfied, and he quickly shut his mouth.
Then several second-generation officials entered the courtyard one after another. They were anxiously looking for someone on the mountain. They shouted so hard that their voices were hoarse and they were sweating all over. Look at Li Zhen sitting at the table eating with his face glowing red. , looking at Li Zhen with eyes that seemed to shoot out knives.
It was only now that Li Zhen, a very nervous person, remembered the seriousness of the problem, and said with some embarrassment: "Brothers are here..."
I don't know how to proceed. After all, I was also taken in by Tang Ping. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to invite them to dine together at this time?
Fortunately, Tang Ping had already thought of such a situation and directly asked Xiao Luo and Lu Yi to serve the food.
These fools are the children who are legends in their hearts.
Secondly, these guys are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and there are a group of high school students over there. If there is something wrong with these high school students and they come to your convenience store at night, can you really make them hungry? Can't?
A rice cooker full of rice, steamed buns, steamed buns, etc. were all served.
There is a saying that a young man will eat a poor man. These fools are all tall and thick, and their appetites will not be small, so Tang Ping specially asked Xiao Luoduo to prepare a lot of staple food.
As for the food, it had been another month since the last time I went back. In addition, Tang Ping also invited a restaurant manager in Chang'an City. Tang Ping didn't have much left, so he asked Xiao Luo to fry some rotten meat and cowpeas, which he served with rice and steamed buns. They were all pretty good, plus two bottles of Lao Gan Daddy and canned dace with black bean sauce, as well as a large pot of seaweed and egg drop soup, I could handle this meal no matter what.
After receiving Tang Ping's invitation, everyone went to the table obediently. However, when they walked past Li Zhen, they all punched him on the back, making him grin and dare not say a word.
"You guys are guests from afar, let's have a meal first!"
"Thank you, Lord Tang!" They still had the courtesy they should have, and they all saluted Tang Ping.
Although it is called Shanghe Village, strictly speaking, this is Tang Ping's farm, so they all call it Tang Ping's owner.
"You are welcome!"
"Yes, yes, you're welcome!" Li Zhen, who was the first to arrive, said, "There's no need to call me the owner of the village. Brother Tang is older than us. Just call me Brother Tang."
"Hello, Brother Tang!"
Eaters are short-tongued, and Tang Ping entertained them with delicious food and drinks. It wasn't like they were ignorant, so they immediately changed their mouths.
A group of big and thick men bowed and called "big brother". This scene always seemed familiar to Tang Ping.
Seeing Fang Yiai, she said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Fang, he should be older than me, right?"
Cheng Chumo and others looked at each other and laughed.
Du He said with a smile: "Brother Tang is very old-fashioned. In fact, he is the youngest among us. He has just turned fifteen."
"Ten...five...years..." Tang Ping took another serious look at Fang Yiai's face, which was at least thirty-five years old, and said with a slight embarrassment: "Then...that brother Fang has indeed grown up a bit!"
"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed loudly again. Although there was a small misunderstanding among them, there was no deep hatred.
Smiling like this now makes the atmosphere more harmonious.
