Chapter Eighty-Nine: A slight smile is very captivating

That smile made Zhang Chao's whole person freeze. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He didn't expect that he would still see such a beautiful smile. Looking at her, Zhang Chao almost burst into tears.

With this smile, Zhang Chao also made up his mind and married himself.

Zhang Chao has slept with three women in his life, there is no one-night-love and no big sword, and he really pays for the three loves, although some are very short.

The first girl he slept with was his junior high school classmate, who was young and curious about love. At that time, his grades were not bad, and his physical development was very good, he was still on the school basketball team, and he was a very eye-catching boy in the school. Just a sudden beginning, an abrupt end.

After the high school entrance examination, he went to high school, and she went to study in a secondary school in other places, so the original hot lingering naturally ended without a problem. After I went to high school, I talked about another one and slept with it, but it didn't last long. When he arrived in college, he began to practice love like others, and at the freshman orientation party, he fell in love with her at a glance.

Among the three girls, the one that impressed Zhang Chao the most was the last one, and it was also the one who had been together for the longest time. Wang Yan, a senior sister in college, Wang Yan is his senior sister, a gentle female school group. From their sophomore year, they formalized their relationship, pursued, dated, fell in love, and then lived together.

They fell in love and got together, and then when Zhang was in her junior year, she graduated and went to work in other cities. Long-distance love is very hard, Zhang Chao can feel that the relationship between the two is fading, but he can't stop it.

When he saw Cui Sanniang, Zhang Chao felt as if he had suddenly been hit by an arrow, and that smile suddenly captured his heart, just like when he first met Wang Yan at his welcome party.

This feeling of heartbeat, Zhang Chao felt that it was love at first sight.

Cui Yingying looked past her brother and saw the young man who was uninvited.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The young man was dressed in an ordinary linen robe with a black hat on his head, and his clothes were simple but clean, and they fit very well, and the ordinary clothes on him had a dashing smell.

It was a strange man, but there was no such disrespectful faux pas on his face.

He stood there strangely, with tears still sliding across his face.

This made Cui Yingying very strange, his eyes stared straight at him, but his eyes were not rude, not frivolous, but sad and joyful.

Why did he look at himself crying and laughing?

This is a strange person, but this person is by no means crazy, Cui Yingying noticed the short hair under his head.

She suddenly realized who this person was, Zhang Sanlang.

She didn't expect that she would meet her fiancé at such a time and on such an occasion. I didn't expect that my fiancé would cry when he saw him.

Zhang Chao's gaze met Thirteen Niang's, and he saw doubts in her eyes.

This is Thirteen Niang, a woman who instantly moved herself and made her heart move.

Sansheng is lucky, Zhang Chao wants to cry very much, if Miss Cui is a big fat man of 200 pounds, Zhang Chao doesn't know how to end it.

Retracting his fluctuating thoughts, Zhang Chao took a few steps forward and saluted with his fists.

"Gorou, I'm really sorry, I accidentally broke in, forgive my sins."

Cui Yan had already heard the movement, turned around early, and didn't react much when he saw Zhang Chao coming in.

He stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Chao to come and give him a place, then picked up the teapot from the stone table, poured Zhang Chao a bowl of sencha with camellias, and said with a smile, "Although it was an accident, it was also fate." Since I'm here, I'll simply introduce you to my sister Thirteen Niang. ”

Zhang Chao sat down next to Cui Yan and nodded to Thirteen Niang with a smile to say hello.

"It's abrupt."

Cui Yingying is very down-to-earth and generous, and she has never thought about meeting her fiancé in this case. But she really wants to know what kind of person Zhang Saburo is, and now that she sees it, her first impression is okay.

She replied briefly and rudely, "I've seen Saburo." ”

Cui Yan held the tea bowl and asked, "Why is there no one in the house to greet you?" ”

Zhang Chao replied with a smile, "Cui Kuzhen went out and didn't come back." ”

"Hmph, there are so many people in the house and no one entertains them, it's really rude."

Cui Yingying sat there and looked at Zhang Chao secretly, looking at his appearance, listening to his conversation, and watching his movements, but she felt that this person was a little free and easy, and his speech was more funny, I really couldn't imagine that he was a vulgar little monk.

The three of them sat together, in fact, it was just Zhang Chao and Cui Yan talking, and Cui Yingying was just sitting.

After a short while, Cui Yingying got up to say goodbye.

Zhang Chao hurriedly stood up, "It's me who was rude and abrupt, so I said goodbye." ”

Although the two already have a marriage certificate and have made a decision, they haven't gotten married yet, so it's good to see each other, but it's not okay to stay for a long time.

Cui Yan also stood up with a smile, and Cui Yingying just nodded politely and went back.

Zhang Chao and Cui Yan waited for her to enter the house before leaving the West Courtyard.

"How?" Cui Yan asked with a smile.

Zhang Chao said truthfully, "If you get this good couple, what more can you ask for." ”

"Hahaha, that's good, that's good."

Cui Yan accompanied Zhang Chao to sit in the living room for a while, but Cui Shanfu still didn't come back, so Zhang Chao got up to say goodbye and left an invitation.

"I'll go with you." Cui Yan has no intention of staying in the mansion either.

West Courtyard.

"Gorou sent Zhang Saburo away." After the red line heard that Zhang Chao had left, he hurriedly came back to report to Thirteen Niang.

Cui Yingying sat in front of the dresser, stunned by the bronze mirror. At this moment, her mind was full of Zhang Chao, and when she thought that this was the man she was going to spend her life with in the future, she couldn't help but think more and more.

"Thirteen Niang, what do you think of that Zhang Sanlang, I think he is very good, he talks well, he doesn't look like a farmer at all."

"He wasn't a farmer in the first place, he used to be a little monk."

"Thirteen Niang, then do you have a crush on him?" Red Line asked curiously.

Cui Yingying put her hands on her chin and thought for a while, "I met today, and I think it's better than I imagined, and I think others are good." ”

"Wow!"

"Wow, you dead girl, dare to laugh at me, see that I don't pick your skin."

The master and servant twisted together, laughing and laughing.

Zhang Chao and Cui Yan left Cui's mansion, and Cheng Chumo and others, who were waiting outside the mansion, also came over. Zhang Chao introduced Cui Yan one by one, and everyone knew that Cui Yan was the brother of Zhang Chao's fiancée, but they didn't care that he was a servant.

"Do you want to go back now?"

"Go to the Hu merchant in the West Market to buy some spices."

Zhang Chao plans to make cooked meat and stewed meat, which can be regarded as digesting the bones of the pig in the future. To make braised pork, you first have to make marinade, and to make marinade, you have to have spices and sugar.

Even if it is a simple version of the marinade, you have to use a lot of spices.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, there were Sichuan people who used rock salt and pepper, tea honey and so on to make brine, and at this time, Sichuan-style braised vegetables were actually already somewhat famous. Zhang Chao has eaten it in Cheng Biting Jin Mansion, but it is relatively simple, and their dishes are simple, mostly mutton and haggis.

Zhang Chao plans to also make Sichuan-style marinade, also commonly known as red marinade.

Authentic red brine should be made with star anise, cinnamon, licorice, grass fruit, cloves, tangerine peel, ginger, green onion, soy sauce, Shao wine, rock sugar and peanut oil.

But now there is neither Shaoxing rice wine, nor rock sugar, nor peanut oil, nor even soy sauce.

Zhang Chao can only simplify a little, and if there is no rock sugar, he will buy sand sugar. Sugar is an important ingredient for making red brine, and without sugar, you can't fry that beautiful color.

The most spices in Chang'an were naturally the Hu merchants, who brought spices from the Western Regions or the South China Sea, and bought silk from the Central Plains.

In the hands of Hu Shang, there are all kinds of spices, but spices are also generally extremely expensive.

Spices such as pepper and cloves are extremely expensive, and can even be used as hard currency for trading, sometimes better than gold, and some big merchants in Chang'an City are hoarding pepper, cloves and other precious spices to preserve their value.

The preciousness of spices also made Zhang Chao a little worried about his braised meat deli business. After all, every spice is very expensive, and sugar and wine are used, and the cost of marinade must be very high, so the marinated pork will definitely not be sold at a cheap price.

How to make the rich people in Chang'an willing to spend a cheap price to buy cheap meat like pork, this is a test of Zhang Chao's marketing ability. If he can't sell it at a high price, Zhang Chaoke will lose money.

However, Zhang Chao still plans to give it a try, if the braised meat is successful, then in the future, the Zhang family can directly buy the meat needed for meat buns and other meat, and they can directly buy hairy pigs and kill them themselves.

Zhang Chao calculated in his heart that the amount of various spices used to make red brine is still not large, and the large amount is soy sauce, rice wine, and rock sugar, but there are no ready-made things to buy now.

Zhang Chao can only buy the materials himself and then process them. Soy sauce is a good thing to say, sugar and wine are luxury consumer goods these days. The only ready-made sugars are the sand sugar produced in Guangdong, and the Bharmonro sugar produced in India, and the sand sugar produced in Guangdong is also refined from sucrose, but the refining technology is far inferior to that of the Indians.

But even the Indian polomon candy is very coarsely refined, and it is better to say that it is white sugar, but it is better to say that it is brown sugar. Zhang Chao bought this kind of sugar back, and he had to process and refine it into white sugar and rock sugar by himself.

However, if the refining is successful, Zhang Chao feels that even with this technology of refining and processing white sugar, brown sugar and rock sugar, he can make a small profit.

Along the way, Zhang Chao was thinking about the technology of refining sugar, the method of processing soy sauce, etc.

"San Lang."

"Huh?" Zhang Chao came back to his senses and found that a carriage in front of him stopped everyone.

"It's the county prince of Shangdang."

"Shangdang County Gong?" Zhang Chao didn't think of who it was for a while.

"It is Princess Qin's brother eldest grandson Wuji, who is also King Qin's confidant." Qin Dare whispered in Zhang Chao's ear.

Why is he stopping his party, Zhang Chao didn't understand.

It turned out that the eldest grandson Wuji saw Cheng Chumo, Li Kang, and Niu Jianhu, and their father and brother were all the heartfelt generals of the Qin Palace, so the eldest grandson Wuji also knew them, and when he saw a few of them dangling on the street, he called over and asked a few words.

After a while, Cheng Chumo and a few people came back.

"Shangdang County Gong called San Lang to come over."

"Call me?" Zhang was oversized by surprise.

Follow a few fierce guards to the carriage of the eldest grandson Wuji.
