People are in high spirits during happy events. Zhang Yang returned home carrying two pieces of silver cake and a basket of vegetables.
Li Yue is having trouble with the dumpling skin at the moment.
Seeing Zhang Yang coming back, Li Yue put down the dumpling wrappers in a panic and sat aside aggrievedly.
Women change their looks really quickly. ,
Especially when she just faced the dumpling skin, her face was filled with murderous intent.
In the blink of an eye, she regained her aggrieved appearance as a weak woman.
Li Yue whispered; "This dumpling wrapper will stretch out every time you pinch it."
Zhang Yang cleaned up the messy stove and said, "You put too much minced meat."
Li Yue suddenly realized, "So it's like this, no wonder."
"..."
My little wife’s cooking ability is really lacking.
Li Yue washed her hands aside and said, "You seem to be in a good mood today."
Zhang Yang nodded and said, "I earned two pieces of silver cake today."
"Two silver cakes?"
"right."
"How do you earn? Two pieces of silver cake a day."
Zhang Yang cleared the stove and sat down, "I met a man today who claimed to be the King of Wei."
Li Yue frowned, wondering why Qingque came here?
When King Li Tai of Wei was a child, his nickname was Qingque.
After growing up, the elders in the clan were also named Li Tai Qingque.
When he was very young, Li Tai was quite naughty and often played around, but he was also very clever and knew how to please his father and mother.
Li Tai is a kid who has little thoughts, but his heart is not bad.
Calculating his age, he should be ten years old now.
Zhang Yang added: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei originally came to ask me a question and wanted an answer. I originally wanted to scare him and said that I wanted a hundred guan, but he took out a piece of silver cake without even thinking about it. "
"..."
Li Yue frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Then I thought about fishing for him, but unexpectedly he gave me another piece of silver cake."
Hearing that his younger brother was defrauded of two pieces of silver cake by Zhang Yang, he couldn't sit still. How could this green bird be cheated by Zhang Yang like this...
Zhang Yang added: "Daughter-in-law, you said that our Chang'an people are still really simple and honest, and we are generous with our dealings, without any bargaining, hahaha!"
Li Yue: "..."
Zhang Yang said: "I want to become brothers with His Highness King Wei. Talents like King Wei are really rare."
How could such a smart kid like Qing Que fall into Zhang Yang's trap?
Although not born by the same mother.
Li Tai is the legitimate son of Empress Changsun.
But no matter what, Qingque is still his younger brother.
When she was a child in the palace, Qingque still listened to her, the royal sister.
Li Yue looked at Zhang Yang and didn't know what to say, and sighed: "You can even bully a ten-year-old child."
Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said, "I didn't bully him. He came to the door himself."
There seems to be some truth in saying this.
Li Yue pondered again for a moment, wanting to speak for his younger brother, but seemed unable to do so, so he looked melancholy in the direction of Tai Chi Hall.
"How do you know that His Highness King Wei is only ten years old?"
Zhang Yang asked abruptly.
Li Yue avoided his eyes and said, "I heard it from Aunt Wang next door."
Zhang Yang nodded thoughtfully and whispered, "Yes, I have always found Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang next door to be weird."
It wasn't until Zhang Yang returned to the house and saw that he had no suspicion that Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
In the evening, the couple sat opposite each other and had dinner.
Zhang Yang said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei doesn't look very smart."
Li Yue was eating fried shredded pork with pickles and replied: "Really?"
Zhang Yang added: "I wonder if the other brothers and sisters of King Wei are not very smart either."
Li Yue finished the rice in the bowl and went straight back to her room without saying anything.
My daughter-in-law seems to be in a bad mood today.
Zhang Yang was alone cleaning the dishes. Girls always have such a refreshing few days.
On the second day, Li Yue drank meat porridge and looked at Zhang Yang.
At this moment Zhang Yang is tinkering with onion, ginger and garlic.
I don’t know what he is going to do?
Li Yue held a bowl of porridge and drank it while watching quietly.
After a while, Zhang Yang said: "Our family will have a little money soon."
"Little money?"
Li Yue's pretty eyes said with some disdain: "Are you thinking only about money?"
Putting the mashed green onion and ginger into a water bag, Zhang Yang said: "Then return those two jade pendants to me, and I will sell them."
"no!"
Li Yue immediately turned her head and refused decisively: "Then you should go out and make money."
Carrying the water bag, Zhang Yang walked out of the courtyard.
Aunt Wang who was sweeping the floor said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang is going out to work again?"
"yes."
…
Counting the hours yesterday, Zhang Yang came to Zhuque Street and waited at the place agreed upon yesterday.
In an era without clocks, the concept of time was not as clear as in later generations.
Most people's concept of time depends entirely on the sun in the sky, or looking at its shadow.
Rich families may put a sundial at home, and you can tell the current time based on the shadow of the needle. This is also a more reliable method.
After waiting for a while, Ding Liu and the others came.
Ding Liu was taking a middle-aged man with him, and that man was carrying a big load of meat.
The middle-aged man has an unshaven beard and looks very wild.
The other party was also looking at Zhang Yang.
Ding Liu introduced: "Brother He, this is the noble man I am talking about."
The man carried the meat and said, "Why do you need to address me in person?"
Such a simple name...
Zhang Yang introduced himself: "My surname is Zhang, you can just call me Xiao Zhang."
The other party's eyes looked up and down at Zhang Yang again.
Why put down the meat on your back and say, "I heard from Ding Liu that you have a way of grilling meat?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "I understand a little bit."
Why bother to nod vigorously and say: "Let's take a step to talk."
Ding Liu smiled and said, "We cooks rely entirely on our craftsmanship to make a living. We usually don't show our craftsmanship to others."
The three of them came to an open space outside the city, where there was a fire and several wooden shelves.
Zhang Yang said: "How do you usually cook barbecue?"
Why put the meat on the wooden shelf and said; "Of course, put it directly on it. When the meat is cooked, add salt. If you want it better, you can also add some pepper."
Observing the meat on top, Zhang Yang said: "Pork?"
Why bother snorted and said: "What? You still eat beef? Can you afford it? You have to spend money to buy mutton, as long as the pork that no one wants is cheap."
It is true that few people in the Tang Dynasty eat pork.
Most people eat mutton.
The rich and powerful cannot eat beef blatantly if they want to. Cows are very precious these days. Killing a cow that can cultivate the land is a serious crime.
Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "I'm not saying that pork is bad, I think pork is very good, and pork is also very nutritious."
Saying this, why should I have already started barbecue, acting like no one knows barbecue better than me?
Clearing his throat, Zhang Yang continued, "If you just roast the pork and eat it without processing it first, won't you feel embarrassed when you eat it?"
