Shen Chenai's Different Life in Ancient Times

Looking at the full-body portrait that Yue Chong showed himself, Xu Jian really didn't know what to say.However, that Yue Chong didn't seem to see his embarrassment, and kept introducing him to him.

Xu Jian, who was really unbearable, decided to take a break for a while, and when he lowered his head and drank tea to ease his emotions, Yue Chong said over there: "This painter's painting skills are very good, fully reflected It captures the essence of the expression of the characters in the painting.”

Xu Jian heard that a sip of tea got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out, his face turned red when he held back.

Yue Chong was startled when he saw this, hurriedly put down the painting in his hand, ran over to pat him on the back, and took a long time to drink the tea.

After Xu Jian swallowed the tea, she took a few deep breaths, then angrily put down the teacup in her hand, and said to Yue Chong: "I am more familiar with the painter Mr. Yue invited here than you. So if you invite me today I came here to comment on his paintings, so you have found the right person. This painting is an excellent work by Master Yunwu. Whether you use pen, ink or coloring afterwards, you can see the intention of the painter , the asking price will definitely be high after you take it out. So that’s it, do you have anything else to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Yue Chong, who almost choked someone to death by accident, was full of guilt at this time, and he said to the angry Xu Jian: "Ah Jian, don't be angry, you also know that I don't understand calligraphy and painting at all. Yinger, I bought them back because you like them, otherwise, what would be the use of these torn papers?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he found Xu Jian glaring at him, so he quickly changed his words and said, "I made a slip of the tongue, those are not torn paper, they are all art or something, in short, they are very stylish things. I know you like these things, so I will give you this good painting I got today."

Speaking of which, Yue Chong rolled up the exquisite painting painted by Shen Chenai several times, put it away, and stuffed it into Xu Jian's arms.

Xu Jian was holding the painting scroll in his arms with a dazed expression on his face. He didn't know why things suddenly became like this. Didn't Yue Chong invite him to come over to enjoy the painting? Does the painting need to be sent by someone else? Has this person forgotten the relationship between him and Shen Chenai? Chong whispered a few words into his ear.

Yue Chong's eyes were slightly lost when he heard this, and the face of the person who had a playful smile suddenly darkened.But those changes on his face only happened in an instant, even Xu Jian who was very close to him didn't notice it.

While Xu Jian was still contemplating, Yue Chong suddenly said: "Brother Xu Xian will stay here and continue to comment on this calligraphy and painting. I need to deal with some things for my brother. I will go back after I leave for a while."

After all, he asked the servants who were serving him to bring Xu Jian new tea, and specially attached some delicate refreshments, so that Xu Jian could have something to pass the time.

Yue Chong, who left with the housekeeper, walked all the way to the back of the house. After passing through three or four moon gates, they came to the back house of the Yue family together.

In the rooms of the back house, there was a door calling two thick puppets, but the sound of ping -pong ping pink continued to pass out of the door cracks.

Yue Chong walked all the way to the door of the wing room, and signaled the ladies guarding the door to open the door for him.Seeing that it was the host's house coming, the two women quickly leaned over and opened the door for Yue Chong.

As soon as the door was opened, a porcelain bottle was thrown at Yue Chong's feet, and the crackling sound made people tremble inside.

Yue Chong took a slow look at the broken porcelain at his feet, and then looked into the wing with a blank expression.

In the wing room, the fancy-dressed Niu Da Niu kept smashing things. When she heard someone coming, she threw the things in her hands towards the door like crazy. When she found that Yue Chong was standing at the door , her eyes lit up, she straightened her hair, and then said to Yue Chong: "Who am I? If you want to stop the slave family from seeing the old man, Brother Chong, you have to punish them well, and let the slave family breathe a sigh of relief."

As soon as she finished speaking, the housekeeper standing aside scolded Niu Da Niu: "What are you, you don't know your identity? Not only are you rude when you see the master's house, you dare to call the master's name directly. Cheng Po How did you two, Mrs. Li, teach people how to behave? You dare to let something like this dirty the eyes of the master, and then drag it down without slapping your mouth."

The two old women who were guarding the door have been under the idleness of Niu Da Niu these days, but due to her stomach, the two of them dare not argue with her. This time the housekeeper has already spoken, and the master standing beside him did not stop her Meaning, so the two women rolled up their arms and sleeves and walked over, ready to teach that woman a lesson.

Niu Daniu watched the two women approaching aggressively, and instinctively knew that things were going to go wrong. She was quite quick-witted and knew what her biggest backer was now.So she quickly hugged her stomach and rolled on the ground, shouting incessantly: "It hurts, my stomach hurts, it really hurts."

Seeing this, the two women looked at each other, but they didn't dare to make a move, so they had to turn their heads to look at their master.

Yue Chong looked at the farce in front of him and frowned slightly. He didn't have time to argue with a shrew here, but Brother Jian was still in the living room waiting for him to go back.

So Yue Chong stepped over the pile of broken porcelain in front of him, walked into the wing room, came to Niu Da Niu's side, kicked her lightly with his toes a few times and asked, "Are you here?" Didn’t Sapo say it because I had to come over? Now that I’ve come over, tell me and I’ll listen.”

After hearing the words, Niu Da Niu didn't even care about being rude, she got up from the ground and said to Yue Chong: "The Nu family is a meritorious person now, and your Yue family can't neglect the meritorious person. In a few days, the young master will come from the belly of the Nu family. I crawled out of it, for the sake of the young master, the status of the slave family can no longer be a lowly status. Brother Chong, you have great powers, so raise your hand and help the slave family revoke the slave status."

Hearing this, Yue Chong raised his mouth and said to Niu Da Niu: "It cost 60 taels to buy you in the first place, and to go to the government to cancel your household registration. In addition to the taxes you should pay, you have to take care of it up and down. At least another 200 taels will be spent. Two. Who do you think you are, worthy of my master, I will spend money to beg for you"

Seeing that Yue Chong did not agree to her conditions, Niu Da Niu turned her eyes and hugged her belly and continued to wail: "Son, it's mother who has no ability, so you can't say that your brother will revoke your mother's registration and tell you to follow mother as soon as you are born." Being ridiculed by others. Rather than doing this, it is better to have a good time early, and mother will take you with me today."

As he said that, he pretended to be thinking about it and bumped into Yue Chong's body.

Niu Da Niu wanted to use death to threaten the Yue family to expel her, but unfortunately she chose the wrong candidate today.This trick might work on the old man of the Yue family, but who is Yue Chong? He is the famous Yue Jiuyan in Fengcheng.

The salt business has always been extremely profitable, not worse than the income from drug trafficking now.With such a huge profit, there are naturally not a few people who are jealous. He, Yue Chong, has been able to stand up for many years, and he naturally has his wrist.Yue Chong hadn't seen any kind of rogue in these years, and Niu Da Niu wanted to scare him, it was purely wishful thinking.

No, when Niu Da Niu arched her stomach and ran towards Yue Chong, Yue Chong had already stretched out his hand and quickly grabbed her by the neck.With a little effort, he lifted up Niu Daniu, who weighed more than 100 kilograms, with one hand, and then said to Niu Daniu who was struggling constantly: "The reason why you can stay here today is entirely thanks to you." The face of our little ten. If it weren't for him still in your stomach, grass would have started to grow on your grave now. You dare to threaten me, it's a bear's heart."

As he said that, he threw the blue-faced Niu Da Niu to the ground. This time, Niu Da Niu's stomach really hurt, but she was so frightened that she could only groan softly.

Yue Chong didn't even look at Niu Da Niu who was lying on the ground. While wiping his hands with the handkerchief sent by the housekeeper, he said to the people around him, "Go and invite a few doctors over for her, and let them take care of her. Let her take a look. If Xiao Shi is fine, her treatment will remain the same; if Xiao Shi is gone, find a place to dig a hole and bury her and Xiao Shi together."

Niu Da Niu, who was lying on the ground and humming in the wing room, widened her eyes and looked at Yue Chong who walked out, her voice seemed to be blocked suddenly, and she couldn't even call out.

After getting rid of the annoying guy, Yue Chong can continue to entertain Xu Jian in the living room.It can be seen that he is still in a good mood now, and he hurried over with a big stride.

After Yue Chong returned to the living room, Xu Jian had recovered from his confused state. He got a new painting for no reason, and he felt something was wrong no matter what he thought, so when he saw Yue Chong came back, the first one The thing is to get up and want to say goodbye.

Who knew that Yue Chong turned a blind eye to his idea of ​​leaving, but instead took Xu Jian's hand and said to him: "A chef from Chaoshan just came over and said that he is best at making roast suckling pig. I have already invited people over, and the suckling pig has already been driving on the stove. This is a rare delicacy here in Liangzhou. If my brother is not in a hurry at home, I will stay for a while and taste the big one. It's not too late to leave after the master's craftsmanship."

With such coaxing and persuasion, Yue Chong kept the hesitant Xu Jian.

Xu Jian is enjoying the delicious food here, and Shen Chenai is also improving the food today.Last night, before Mrs. Chen left, she put the newly harvested shelled buckwheat this year into a bag, soaked it in a wooden barrel, and said that she was going to make bowls tomorrow. Li faced the bagged buckwheat soaked overnight and kneaded it repeatedly for nearly an hour in the wooden barrel. He didn't let go until the clear water in the wooden barrel turned into thick rice milk. Stand up.

Just as Luo Ding was busy, Mrs. Chen came over. She took out the rice bag that had been kneaded and was at least half small from the barrel, and put it aside and left it alone.Turning around, he sprinkled some salt and salt into the rice milk in the wooden barrel with a spoon. After stirring it, he poured the thick rice milk into large bowls and put them together in a pot for steaming.

The bowl holder here let them steam, and Mrs. Chen quickly moved to another stove to fry the toppings. Today's toppings are made of pork belly and potatoes.

Farmers don’t pay much attention to meals, they just put the cut pork belly into the pot first to get the oil out.Then put the onion, ginger, and garlic into the pot, add water and the soybean paste made by Mrs. Chen, and cook for a while. When it is half or half cooked, add diced potatoes and stew together. It won't take long. Served out of the pan with toppings.

Mrs. Chen deftly cooled the freshly cooked bowls, then cut them into shreds with a knife, poured hot toppings on top, and a bowl of salty and fragrant bowls was ready.

Bowl support was originally a food that Fengcheng people only love to eat in summer, but Shen Chenai always takes medicine these days, and Mrs. Chen saw that his appetite is not very good, so she made it today to change his taste.

For Shen Chenai, he had never eaten a bowl tray before, and it was really novel to taste it for the first time.The texture of Wantuo tastes a bit like Shaanxi Liangpi, but the topping is hot, so it still has a taste of old Beijing noodles.

Shen Chenai liked the taste of this food very much. He ate two big bowls in a row before putting down the bowls and chopsticks and patting his belly in satisfaction.

Although today's breakfast was not expensive, Shen Chenai was satisfied with it because of the effort she put into it.In a sense, it's life-enhancing, too.

The land in Liangzhou is barren, and it has always been dry and rainless.So rice is hard to find here, and only a little bit of wheat can only be planted on good land.

So Liangzhou is rich in miscellaneous grains, and most of the staple foods are various foods made from these miscellaneous grains.

Shen Chenai has been here for such a long time, except that she drank japonica rice porridge when she was sick, most of the rest of the days ate various pasta with Luo Ding.

Buckwheat noodles, pea noodles, corn noodles, soybean noodles, and yellow rice noodles are the staple food of Liangzhou people's daily life. Before Luoding had large-scale pig raising, beef, mutton, and various domestic poultry were the mainstays The most important meat on people's table in this city.

As for vegetables, they are only available in summer and autumn. In spring and winter, except for those who store them in advance, people here eat most of all kinds of pickles and pickles. It is indeed a meal together.
