Datang New Giants

Chapter 79

"My lord is awake, let's wash up first." In a separate small courtyard in the backyard of Cheng's mansion, Fuzhi poured Lu Ting a basin of warm water to wash up.

Cheng Yaojin sent two maidservants to serve him, but Lu Ting declined, and Fuzhi used it more conveniently.

Lu Ting opened his eyes and looked out of the window. It was about seven o'clock in the morning. It was still very early. Unfortunately, he hadn't gotten used to Chang'an's dawn drums. Wave after wave seemed endless. He said: "Living in Chang'an may not be a blessing, even if you want to sleep well in the morning."

Li Er still needs to investigate and verify. From Chang'an to Suzhou, even if he does not stop all the way, it will take four days to go back and forth, and the road is blocked by heavy snow in winter. It will take time to investigate, and the time may be longer. All I had to do was wait, and I didn't do much in broad daylight, except tell stories to those half-children who were full of wanderer dreams, and be knight-errant chickens.

Ranger chicken. Let’s forget it, I’m really tired of eating it for a few days.

"That's it." Fuzhi looked around and said cautiously: "Mr. Cheng Guo got up before dawn to prepare for the court meeting. Everyone in the house was busy before dawn. I heard that the prince Du Ruhui is going to follow today." Wei Zheng from the government is competing."

Lu Ting glanced at Fuzhi in surprise, nodded and said, "Okay, I've just been here for a day, and I've heard so much news."

This is Cheng Mowang's mansion, not his own home, and Fu Zhi got used to it quite quickly.

Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng competed for the servant of the household department. This matter was mentioned by Chang Sun Chong while drinking yesterday. He said that the Qin Palace was going to fight back against the Prince's Palace. It happened that Zheng Yuanxuan from Honglu Temple presented an artifact of fortune telling, and he just used it to prevent the Prince's Palace from extending its hand to the household. Ministry, the Ming calculation artifact should be the abacus I gave to Xiaoqiao's maid. Lin Zheng came from the Zheng family of Xingyang, and Zheng Yuanxuan's surname was Zheng. Only those whose natal family is in the imperial court can maximize their benefits.

It’s amazing, it’s only been a long time, and it’s been dedicated to Chang’an, and it’s also involved in the battle between the Qin Palace and the Prince’s Palace. Listening to Chang Sun Chong’s intentions, he used a small abacus to take down the household department of the Tang Dynasty. There is a saying that is correct, The same thing can reflect different values ​​in different environments.

A bottle of beverage can only be sold for 40 yuan in a small shop outside, but it can be sold at a high price of [-] yuan in a high-end hotel; a straw rope is worthless, and no one picks it up when it is thrown on the ground. In the hands of the dealer, tie it to the crab, transform into a hundred times the value, and the abacus is in his own hands. At most, he will ask someone to make a batch and sell it slowly to earn a little money for living. But in Li's second hand, he can leverage a country. of the household department.

Fuzhi scratched his head in embarrassment: "It's all thanks to the young master. All the servants in the house said that the young master's story is good, he is very kind to the little one, and he is willing to ask for advice. Last night, Steward Cheng also rewarded him Two small cakes to eat."

"Remember, this is Cheng's house, not Lu's, so you can't go beyond the rules." Lu Ting reminded.

"You know, please don't worry, my lord."

After Lu Ting finished washing, Fuzhi tidied up the washing things and asked in a low voice, "Cheng Steward said that Young Master's breakfast is hot in the kitchen, when will you wake up to get it, Young Master, young one, go get breakfast?"

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted outside: "Brother Lu Ting, are you awake?"

"Hee hee, Youxia chicken, don't get up yet, you lazy pig, Bi'er has already got up, so don't be shy."

As soon as he heard the voices of Cheng Chuliang and Cheng Chubi, Lu Ting quickly responded: "Get up, get up, come in and sit down."

He is a guest, and Cheng Chuliang and the others are the hosts, Lu Ting said, and went to the door to welcome him, but before he arrived at the door, he saw a group of people walking in, except for the brothers of the Cheng family, Zhang Sun Chong, Hou Mingyuan, Du He, and others. There were several children who I didn't know, and judging by their clothes, they were also rich and noble sons, and many of them were still carrying things in their hands.

Seeing that Lu Ting was a bit puzzled, Chang Sun Chong took the initiative to introduce him. Except for Hou Mingyuan and Du He who were familiar with him, the rest were also children from the Qin Palace, such as Yuchi Jingde's son Yuchi Baoqi and Zhang Shigui's. Son Zhang Baoyu and others.

Children like to show off. After listening to the story, Du He and Hou Mingyuan felt itchy to show off in front of their friends. They recounted the stories they had heard and vividly said how delicious Youxia Chicken is. Those friends couldn’t stand it. "Temptation" followed.

They are all in the same circle, they know each other very well, and they have friendship with the Cheng family, so they come whenever they say they want, and they don't need to hand over name cards when they come to the door.

Chang Sun Chong put the food box in his hand on the bed, and said with a smile: "Brother Lu Ting, you haven't had breakfast yet. This is the most famous Yangji water basin mutton in Chang'an City. I brought it here for you to try today."

Water basin lamb?I have the impression that I have read a miscellaneous book called Tang Dynasty Shihuo Zhi, and I know that it is the evolution of "Yangzhi" in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The original meaning of "Yangji" is mutton soup.The mutton in the water basin is mainly made of mutton. "Shanjia Qinggong" revealed the secret of cooking mutton soup. Boil it in live water until the bone rots.” It is said that the taste is unique.

Lu Ting said with some embarrassment: "This is so embarrassing, it cost elder brother grandson."

"It's not a problem, it's not a problem, eating so many You Xia chickens made by the Lu Ting brothers is considered a courtesy." Chang Sun Chong said with a smile on his face.

"I borrowed flowers to worship the Buddha, and the materials were all from Brother Chu Liang's house."

Cheng Chuliang waved his hand and said, "It's just a few worthless chickens. It's nothing. If Brother Lu Ting likes it, I'll ask someone to prepare a hundred, no, two hundred."

"Don't, don't, don't." Lu Ting was taken aback, and quickly said, "I'll talk about the chicken thing later."

Cheng Chuliang is a real person, he said to prepare [-] chickens, if he doesn't stop them, he will really get [-] chickens for himself to deal with, wouldn't that be exhausting himself?Lu Ting quickly refused.

"Brother Lu, this is Jusheng Nuhu Bing, the most delicious Hu Bing in Chang'an City, it's still hot, try it." Du He took out a plate from the food box and put it on the table with a smile.

There is a charcoal fire in the food box to keep the temperature, and the hu biscuits are still hot when they are taken out.

"Brother Lu, this is Lin Kee Steamed Meat Cake. It tastes pretty good. People line up to buy it every day. Try it to see if it suits your appetite."

"This is the most famous Jinrou Huto in Xishi, and it's fresh."

Chang Sun Chong took the lead, and everyone put the breakfast they brought on the table one after another for Lu Ting to eat. After a while, a small half of the table was set up, including broth, Hubing, Hoto, various dim sum, snacks, etc. Lu Ting The court was dumbfounded.

"It's too much, how can I finish it? You are so polite." Lu Ting said with some emotion.

Cheng Chuliang waved his hand and said carelessly: "Brother Lu Ting, you can eat with peace of mind. It's just a few bites of food, it's not worth a lot of money, just treat it as their reward for listening to your stories, even if you go out to drink flowers and wine. It costs money, doesn't it?"

How can I answer this metaphor?

Chang Sun Chong rubbed his hands and said, "That's right, it's just our wish. If Brother Lu Ting feels bad, just tell the story a second time."

"Yes, it would be even better if you cook us more delicious food." Snack guy Hou Mingyuan also echoed.

Lu Ting nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I'll cook something delicious later."

Everyone thought that what Lu Ting said was delicious was to make knight-errant chicken. After Lu Ting had finished his breakfast and finished talking about the Legend of the Condor Heroes three times, he asked Cheng Chuliang directly: "Brother Chu Liang, is there a blacksmith in the house?"

"Blacksmith? Yes, Brother Lu Ting, what do you want a blacksmith for? Don't you want to be a knight-errant chicken?" Cheng Chuliang was a little confused.

According to the previous habit, Lu Ting would be a knight-errant chicken after telling the story, how has it changed today?

Lu Ting shook his head and said, "You still eat chicken? Don't you get tired of it?"

"It's not as delicious as the first time, but the taste is not bad. If there is something to eat, I would still eat it." Cheng Chuliang said with a simple and honest face.

Hou Mingyuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked: "Brother Lu Ting, if you don't make Youxia Chicken, do you want to make a new delicacy?"

When it comes to food, Hou Ming is far more active than anyone else.

Lu Ting nodded and said: "There are many ways to cook chicken, not just to cook chicken, but to eat chicken today, but in a different way."

Every day, Lu Ting almost vomited.

"Okay, the new way of eating is good, it's time for a change." Hou Mingyuan readily agreed.

"No way, brother Lu Ting, you can't favor one person over another. We haven't eaten it yet, so we came here to taste it." Yuchi Baoqi said anxiously.

Zhang Baoyu also said anxiously: "I want to eat Youxia Chicken and be a Youxia."

A few teenagers who followed also clamored to order Youxia Chicken, Hou Mingyuan and Chang Sun Chong wanted to try a new way of eating, and the two sides quarreled. Only then did they appease them.

　Thank you Pi Ge for the reward, well, it’s all screened.
