Chapter 174 Only the East Wind is owed
"Master Yuan, are we really going?" The old man asked in surprise.
Yuan Tiangang flicked his sleeves and sneered: "Go!" Why not! Even if it's not for Mihara Prefecture! We should also find this person as soon as possible, and if we ruin the reputation of the Taoist sect under my nose, how can we spare him! ”
“…… Okay, I'll go! The old man muttered and left in a hurry, although he was so much older than Yuan Tiangang, but he really didn't have any temper under Yuan Tiangang.
"The prosperous era is approaching, the world is booming, is the Daomen also about to catch up with this tide? Did the patriarch's proverbs really be fulfilled in him? ”
The old man left, and Yuan Tiangang was left alone in the yard muttering to himself, maybe a few birds at the eaves heard this, but they just tilted their heads and glanced at the strange person in the yard, and then flapped their wings and flew away. Winter is here, and it's time to find more to eat to get through this cold season.
Standing in the small courtyard and shaking his head and thinking to no avail, Yuan Tiangang finally had to sigh and return to the study, half of the roast chicken had not been eaten yet......
The sun is in the west, and Chang'an City is also lively, not busy catching up with the night market like later generations, but all of them are hurrying out of the city!
Getting out of town is a big deal! When the hour comes, the gates are closed, and you can't go if you want to! After the curfew began, the people who were still wandering the streets were caught by Wu Hou, and they couldn't escape with a whip!
Coming out of Yuan Tiangang's place, Xiao Han originally thought about finding an inn to live in, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, what if the eldest grandson Wuji was waiting for him! So after hesitating, I had to go back the way I came, and go to the eldest grandson Wuji's house.
Passing through a street, you can see the tall mansions of the eldest grandson Wuji from a distance, at the door, there is a person who is looking around, and suddenly sees Xiao Han's frame, and immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly beckoned the porter to remove the threshold, and he greeted him from a distance.
"Oh, the guest is back, hurry up and come in to rest, the master of the house specially found the cook from the Baihua Pavilion today to make a dinner for the guest......" The housekeeper was as attentive as the hotel junior who had won the reward, trotting all the way over, and when he got closer, he didn't forget to help the stunned man pull the horse, so that Xiao Han could jump down.
The housekeeper really didn't know what this master was about, and at first he thought he was a nobody, but from the time his master personally greeted him, he automatically raised Xiao Han up a level.
And when the master asked him to invite someone from outside to cook and entertain Xiao Han, Xiao Han's identity has been infinitely elevated in the eyes of the housekeeper, is this His Majesty's illegitimate son? The butler wanted to come......
Where did Xiao Han know the dirty thoughts in the housekeeper's heart, he jumped off the car with his hand, and moved his body on the ground first, it was really cold to sit in the car that was ventilated everywhere this day......
"Lord Eldest Sun is really polite, what to eat is not to eat, why is it so troublesome!" After the activity, Xiao Han smiled and said politely to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper hurriedly replied with a smile: "It's different, it's different, so that the guests can know that this Baihua Pavilion has never sent people out before!" But today, I heard that Master Hou was coming, so I didn't hurry up and pack up my things and followed! On the way, the villain heard them say that the food at the guest's house is a must, and even the chef of Baihua Pavilion wants to learn it but can't get it! ”
"Haha, it's worthy of everyone coming out, and they all speak well!" Xiao Han laughed flatteringly, what he is most proud of now is his family's food, and his reputation doesn't know when it spread, anyway, when he was in Chang'an, as long as he went to his house as a guest, he would all lean against the wall after eating, and some would drink too much and carry it out......
"Hey...... Distinguished guests, please! The housekeeper laughed flatteringly, and then hurriedly led the way for Xiao Han, and Xiao Han was naturally good.
I don't know if the eldest grandson Wuji did it specifically to entertain Xiao Han, or if their family had already adopted the mode of eating at a large table, anyway, after the subordinates were waiting to wash their hands, after entering the restaurant, Xiao Han saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was already waiting for Xiao Han in front of a big table while reading a book.
Walking over and sitting down, Xiao Han looked left and right, there were no outsiders, not even Queen Changsun was not there, and I didn't know if I was going home or not sharing the table with Xiao Han.
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard the voice, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Han, handed the book in his hand to the subordinate who was waiting behind him, smiled, and said, "Hungry!" ”
Xiao Han touched his stomach and said, "I'm hungry, I haven't eaten anything for a day today, and I haven't felt it when I'm busy. ”
"Hahaha......" The eldest grandson Wuji laughed at Xiao Han's amusement, and then waved his hand and asked the servant to prepare the food.
A long time ago, including in his previous life, Xiao Han, who was nibbling on pickles, was always curious about what those rich people ate, shark fin bird's nest every day? That can't make up for death? But if it's a meal of millet porridge, it's too bitter and sweet......
Later, it wasn't until he came here that Xiao Han knew that the ancients really didn't have too many tricks in terms of eating......
As the servants in the hall shouted to serve the food, one by one the beautifully dressed maids rushed in, and suddenly, a room full of warblers and warblers and Yanyan, Xiao Han was dumbfounded.
However, the good days didn't last long, and in just a while, a room full of people disappeared again, leaving only a table full of dishes and Xiao Han, who was trying to control himself from looking out......
Xiao Han's appearance fell in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, and the old fox thought thoughtfully: Those people are really right, they can't let this kid see women, fortunately, I have more eyes, so that they don't have to wait for dinner today, or ...... Gee!
Xiao Han didn't know that the eldest grandson Wuji usually had someone to help add tea and pour water when he ate, but he was the same as he was at home, he did it himself, and he had enough food and clothing, and the meal was already all at the moment, plus he was really hungry, and he was not welcome, and he picked up the bowl and ate and drank nonsense, as for the taste, what about him, now it is the right thing to eat a full stomach.
Speaking of which, the table of dishes purchased by the eldest grandson Wuji, in addition to fish, is meat, although everything is exquisitely made, but it always feels like the village people eat noodles, monotonous to boring! I'm tired of eating, I don't want to have some vegetables, and when Dapeng vegetables have not yet been invented, eating some vegetables in winter is indeed a luxury.
When a large bowl of rice and rice entered his stomach, Xiao Han's speed immediately slowed down.
There is no stir-frying, except for boiling and stewing, just think about it, the taste is not much better? So once the stomach is half full, the appetite immediately drops, looking at the table of dishes, Xiao Han doesn't know what kind of food to eat, it seems that it is very greasy, no wonder the ancient rich people in the picture are fat and big-eared, and they are very festive! Eat this stuff every day, and the thin monkey can also feed fat.
The eldest grandson Wuji knew that Xiao Han was good at eating, so he specially invited outsiders to make it, but when he saw that Xiao Han only ate much, he stopped, and he also knew that it was definitely not to his appetite, and there was no way, anyone who ate the food of Xiao Han's family would never forget it, and the food in other places was indeed very different from it.
The good wine brought by Xiao Han on the table, this is really good wine, it is by no means the first pot made by Xiao Han before, fermented with harvested sorghum and rice! Only three jars of wine came out, one jar was used when tasting wine, and the remaining two jars were all here, although the container for wine was a little ugly, but who knew that these two jars of wine were almost the best wine in the world today?
Only then did he ruthlessly bring the two jars of wine, originally planned to give them to Xue Shujia as a gift, but he didn't expect that in the end, he cheapened the eldest grandson Wuji, and his eyes lit up as soon as he opened the altar, and then quietly let the housekeeper take away a jar to know that this product is also a person who knows wine.
The eldest grandson Wuji is very interesting to drink, which is different from Chai Shao's boldness, Liu Hongji's cow drink, and Li Shimin's drinking, holding a cup, a small sip, a small sip, very rhythmic, slightly closed his eyes, and chatting with Xiao Han about some homely things.
I didn't say a word about the things in the court, and I didn't mention the topic in the army, but I was lamenting that this winter was coming too fast, and there were too many people making stoves recently.
Chang'an's street drums sounded, 108 sounds leisurely, Xiao Han thought that the street drums were also a bunch of waist drum teams holding drums to walk through the streets and alleys, but later I realized how ridiculous this idea was.
There is a drum tower in Chang'an, on the central axis of Chang'an, every day at one or three o'clock, the drum is beaten.
Of course, the big drum is not beaten randomly, and the way the drum is beaten is very interesting, tight eighteen, slow eighteen, unhurried and eighteen. Do this twice for a total of 108 times.
In this popular science: the ancients used 108 sounds to represent a year, a year has 12 months, 24 solar terms, 72 Hou (the ancients called five days a Hou, six Hou for January, and a year for 72 Hou), these numbers add up to 108.
Chang'an night, night Chang'an.
Countless people in later generations racked their brains to imagine how beautiful Chang'an was for more than a thousand years, and wrote a lot of poems and songs for this, but in fact, the night in Chang'an was really not too interesting......
There is no pedestrian-filled night market, there are no groups of beauties, only the young people and Wuhou play a game of hide and seek, of course, the price of this game is not shallow......
In the first-class guest room of the eldest grandson's house, Xiao Han laboriously moved an unknown plant placed on the windowsill to the ground, opened the window, and a bright moon outside the window was exceptionally bright in the night without any light pollution!
In Xue Pan's embroidery building, Xue Pan was also looking at the moon in the sky, and Xiao Ai next to him was chewing chicken wings with a noisy voice.
Xue Pan knew that Xiao Ai had always been like this, he liked to gnaw on bones, and after gnawing, he would bite the small thin bones, as if he had to bring out the taste in his bones.
"Woo...... Miss, go to sleep..."Xiao Ai chewed on the bones in her mouth and said inarticulately.
