Li Tai saluted repeatedly, "I understand."
After sending his father away, Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way back to the palace, Li Shimin looked solemn.
Yue'er doesn't want to return to the palace, and her former daughter is so alienated from me.
Li Shimin felt a little guilty for neglecting Yue'er's care in the past two years.
After all, he is also Yue'er's husband. You still have to see him in person before you can understand him.
A grain store in Chang'an City.
Zhang Yang carried more than ten bags of soybeans into the grain store. The store owner smiled and said, "Young man, I will give you five more cents today."
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhang Yang pointed to the water tank beside him and said, "Let's change the old rules and change the sauce."
The store owner asked in confusion: "Do you like sauce?"
Zhang Yang nodded.
The shopkeeper frowned and looked at him for a while, then he picked up ten kilograms of sauce and one kilogram of millet and handed it to him and said: "We have finished moving the food in the past few days, and there will be no work for you tomorrow. I will give you all these sauce and millet. I'll still give you fifteen cents, just treat it as a friend."
"Thank you, store owner."
The store owner nodded happily. It was rare for this young man to know etiquette.
I value him more and more in my heart.
Zhang Yang returned home and started making soy sauce.
Li Yue looked at the black sauce curiously and smelled it carefully.
Place a bamboo basket in the center of the sauce.
The water in the sauce flows into the bamboo basket by squeezing the black sauce water.
There is not much soy sauce that can make these sauces, there should be about two jars.
"Is this the soy sauce you're talking about?"
"Um."
"Can I eat it in this dark place?"
Li Yue said with disgust in her eyes.
Zhang Yang poured the squeezed soy sauce into a cloth bag and filtered it out. After filtering out the impurities, he poured it into a small jar.
Soy sauce is mainly extracted from fermented soybeans.
As for the extraction technology, in the records of later generations, the earliest words about soy sauce appeared in the Song Dynasty.
Earlier there were also records of using meat to make sauce.
Later I discovered that using soybeans to make sauce has a better flavor and is cheaper.
The cost of making sauce from soybeans is low.
It soon spread among the people.
The taste is saltier than later generations of bean paste.
However, there are many disputes in history about the earliest record of soy sauce.
Anyway, I have soy sauce at home.
Looking at the soy sauce in the jar, Zhang Yang said: "Our quality of life has improved by another small step, which should be worthy of celebration."
Li Yue said: "Drink!"
Zhang Yang nodded, "Yeah, let's drink."
After working at the stove for a while, Zhang Yang first put some fat meat into a hot pot to squeeze out the oil. After the oil was squeezed out, he took out the lard residue inside.
The pork in the other pot has been blanched.
Zhang Yang carefully wrote the pork, put it in the oil pan and started to cook the braised pork.
I made a bowl of braised pork and picked up some chicken feet soaked yesterday.
Two dishes are placed on the table.
Li Yue took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, picked up the braised pork, chewed it slowly, and said with afterthought: "So pork can be so delicious."
Zhang Yang also took a bite and it seemed a little too salty.
It seems that there is a lot of salt in this sauce.
I’ll add less next time I make it.
After saying that, she poured two bowls of wine.
Although Li Yue is thin and small, her drinking capacity cannot be underestimated.
Li Yue took a sip of wine and said, "Pair the braised pork with a sip of wine. It really has a different taste."
Seeing the look of enjoyment on Li Yue's face, Zhang Yang took a sip of wine as if facing a formidable enemy.
This time I must win her over.
I have never seen her drunk until now.
Li Yue poured some more wine and some for Zhang Yang.
After drinking some wine, Li Yue's face turned red, but she showed no signs of being drunk.
Zhang Yang looked at the wine in his bowl. He had already drank a bowl, and his brain was a little groggy at the moment.
He reluctantly took another sip.
Zhang Yang looked at Li Yue's expression, and she took a bite of braised pork with a calm expression.
Li Yue picked up the wine bowl and said, "Here's to our beautiful life."
Zhang Yang also picked up the wine bowl and said, "I hope our quality of life will also improve."
The two of them touched their wine bowls, and Zhang Yang took another sip.
Looking at Li Yue's wine bowl, she has finished the wine in her bowl.
Looking at his wine bowl again, Zhang Yang felt that he would be drunk if he took two more sips.
Li Yue ate the pickled pepper chicken feet and said, "This cold dish of yours also tastes quite delicious."
Seeing Li Yue smacking his lips while eating, Zhang Yang became more and more puzzled.
Is it possible that she is still drunk after a thousand cups?
Li Yue picked up a chicken foot with chopsticks and put it in Zhang Yang's bowl, "You can eat it too."
Zhang Yang slowly picked up the chopsticks, feeling that the light in front of him was not very bright, and there was a double image of Li Yue sitting in front of him.
After a while, Zhang Yang felt his eyes getting darker and darker, until he couldn't hold his head up anymore.
Lost to her again.
The feeling after a hangover is terrible.
When Zhang Yang woke up, he felt his mouth was dry and he had a vague headache.
Li Yue came with a bowl of boiling water, "Take a sip."
After taking a sip of hot water, my mouth and stomach felt much better.
Married a daughter-in-law who drinks more than she does.
It is indeed a very melancholy thing.
It seems that it will be difficult to find opportunities for mischief in the future.
A simple breakfast.
Zhang Yang took out the cash box and counted the money with Li Yue.
Seeing so many silver cakes and copper coins in the money box, Li Yue was also surprised. Zhang Yang was able to save so much money because his family was frugal.
After careful counting, the couple made a tally.
Counting the silver cake given by King Wei before.
Li Yue calculated and said: "A total of six hundred and fifty-three coins."
After speaking, Li Yue put all the money into the box, "Our family has a lot of money."
If you carefully calculate the cost of opening a store.
About three hundred dollars can be used to pay for labor and ingredients.
This money is enough to last for a month or two.
If you want to buy a store in Chang'an City, the price will be higher.
So I chose to stay near Lantian County.
And because people in Guanzhong like to hunt in autumn.
Especially those high-ranking officials.
Many times Lishan is their first choice for hunting.
Lantian County is right next to Lishan Mountain. If you open a store outside Lantian County, you won't have to worry about the number of tourists during the autumn safari days.
As long as the first business is done.
The food is delicious enough so you don't have to worry about repeat customers.
Zhang Yang is still very confident in cooking.
The collection of information has always been important regardless of age.
First of all, the price of land near Lantian County is not high, and hunting is popular in autumn, and the Lishan area is the best choice for hunting.
At this time, if you open a store in this area, at least you won't lose too much.
In the past two days, Zhang Yang does not plan to go out and will make a simple range hood at his home.
The principle of a range hood is similar to that of an exhaust fan.
It’s just that Zhang Yang plans to make a foot-operated range hood.
You can pull the rope by stepping on the pedal. The other end of the rope is tied to the mechanism of the fan. As the rope is pulled repeatedly, the fan can rotate.
