People like him are suitable for working in uncomplicated environments.
Zhang Yang explained a few words to Ding Liu and returned to Chang'an City.
Two cooks, and three more servants.
A store is almost ready to open.
Since I don't have much capital, I have to save a little on all expenses now.
When we arrived at the market in the East Market, most of the people going to the market had dispersed.
Came to a chicken shop.
The aunt saw Zhang Yang and said, "The chickens have been sold out. Come back tomorrow."
Zhang Yang's eyes fell on the baskets of chicken feet and said, "Do you still want these chicken feet?"
Seeing that the poor boy in front of me was interested in chicken feet, no one would come to buy chicken feet on weekdays.
The poor boy's clothes were patched, but he was very clean.
The chicken seller said: "If you can't afford chicken, it's still good to buy a few chicken feet to make soup. Someone in the family is sick and needs chicken soup?"
Zhang Yang smiled and didn't explain much.
The aunt saw that Zhang Yang was just an adult, with a fair face, tall and clean face, and she joked: "Yesterday, a young man said that his wife had just given birth to a baby, and he wanted to make chicken soup but couldn't afford a chicken. I bought some chicken feet."
Zhang Yang took out three pennies and said, "Let me get some chicken feet."
While watching Zhang Yang carefully picking up the chicken feet, the chicken seller said: "There are not many good boys who can love their wives so much. I will give you a few more."
After saying that, she grabbed a handful of chicken feet and handed them to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang put a dozen chicken feet on the basket and went home.
The chicken seller looked at Zhang Yang's leaving figure and let out a long sigh. They all said that the world is peaceful now, His Majesty is diligent in his work, and there will be another bumper harvest this year.
What else can you say about the prosperous times?
Watching Zhang Yang walking further and further away with a basket of chicken feet.
The aunt sighed that there are still so many people who can't even afford a chicken.
Poor people can only buy some chicken feet to replenish their health.
Is this also a prosperous age?
How many people are there like this young man?
Living is not easy either.
After cleaning up her stall, the aunt also left Dongshi.
On the way home, Zhang Yang was carrying a basket of chicken feet.
After arriving home, Li Yue was looking at the book in his hand.
Li Yue raised her eyes and glanced at Zhang Yang and said, "It is said that The Analects of Confucius is broad, profound and all-encompassing. Is this true?"
Zhang Yang said: "I don't like some Confucian things very much."
Li Yue said curiously: "But today's scholars only read Confucian classics."
Lifting a stool, Zhang Yang sat down and handled the chicken feet and said, "I just don't like those Confucian disciples using those Confucian classics to ask everyone in the world to be gentlemen."
Li Yue covered her mouth and smiled, hearing what he said seemed to be true.
Zhang Yang added: "Why do you want to be a gentleman and ask others to do what you want according to your standards?"
Others are in awe when they see Confucian classics.
Li Yue heard what Zhang Yang said, and it seemed that Confucian disciples and great Confucians had done this now.
It is not uncommon to see people holding up Confucian classics and cursing others.
Aren’t those who hold up Confucian classics self-proclaimed as gentlemen?
Li Yue said curiously: "Are you a gentleman?"
After removing the nails from the chicken feet, Zhang Yang cleaned the chicken feet.
Without waiting for Zhang Yang to answer, Li Yue said again: "You can even deceive a ten-year-old child out of his money. You are definitely not a gentleman."
Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said, "Daughter-in-law."
"Um!"
Li Yue responded.
Zhang Yang thought deeply: "You think if I meet King Wei a few more times, will we be getting closer and closer to getting rid of poverty and becoming rich?"
Li Yueqiao stared at Zhang Yang, "Do you think King Wei is a fool? You will be fooled the second time."
Why would he set the goal of getting rich on Qingque?
Doesn't his conscience hurt?
There is still some pride.
There is no reason for this.
Li Yue shook her head in distress.
Of course, the chicken feet he bought are not for making chicken soup. Zhang Yang plans to make tiger skin chicken feet.
The remaining chicken feet are used to make pickled pepper chicken feet.
If there is no pepper, you can use dogwood instead.
Cornus officinalis is also a herbal medicine that can replenish qi and regulate qi and is not difficult to buy.
There are some other books at home, all sent by Aunt Wang.
If his family no longer wants these books, Li Yue will borrow them and read them.
Some books are hard to find outside.
Zhang Yang whispered: "You said that ordinary people may not be able to have books like Liudian and Hanshu?"
Li Yue looked at the scroll in his hand and said, "These books, if any, are from the homes of powerful families. Of course, there are also disciples of powerful families who copied the books and took them outside."
After a pause, Li Yue continued: "It's not that these books can't be found outside. It's just that it's rare for scholars to be able to read some books."
In the Tang Dynasty, where paper printing was backward, there were indeed very few books.
The dissemination of books, even if the rich and powerful used woodblock printing, was very inefficient.
Most ordinary people who want to read books must first attach themselves to powerful people.
If a powerful family allows you to be their guest, you can read books written by powerful people.
It would be great if I could show it to you. There is no way I can take the book collection away with me.
You can only copy the contents of the book so that you can take the book home with you.
Then watch it over and over again, and learn it over and over again.
Most of the books circulating outside are hand-copied versions.
There is no guarantee here whether there are any copying errors or missing sentences.
To put it bluntly, there was still no movable type printing technology, which led to a decrease in productivity, and the dissemination of books in the Tang Dynasty was not high.
Li Yue glanced at the chicken feet and said, "Do you eat so many chicken feet at night?"
Zhang Yang washed the chicken feet carefully and said, "I know a dish called tiger skin chicken feet."
Li Yue looked at a basket of chicken feet and said, "Can you finish eating so many chicken feet?"
“If you can’t finish these, you can make chicken feet with pickled peppers.”
"Is it tasty?"
"It's a cold dish, which means pickled."
Zhang Yang washed the chicken feet and said: "There is still some rice at home, wash it and eat it."
Li Yue beamed when she heard about eating rice at night, "I'll wash the rice."
Aunt Wang has been sitting in her yard listening to the conversation between Zhang Yang and Li Yue.
Your Majesty has an order to take good care of Princess Runan.
Zhang Yang is a good boy.
Very good to Her Royal Highness.
I have never even seen a man be so kind to his wife.
Her Royal Highness the Princess had a hard time as a child, but now she is considered lucky.
I heard Zhang Yang and Her Royal Highness talking about Confucian books.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang also had some insights into Confucian books, which were not good ones.
Outsiders don't know it, but after living next door for so long, Aunt Wang often listens to the princess and Zhang Yang talking.
After listening for a long time, you will naturally find that Zhang Yang is actually a very knowledgeable person.
I don’t know where he got all this knowledge from.
Or who did I learn it from?
Dinner is a pot of stir-fried vegetables, a pot of tiger skin chicken feet, and a bowl of wild vegetable soup.
