Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 31

Jin Yu returned from the Du Mansion to the small house he just bought and fell asleep beautifully. These few old men have been tossing him miserably these days, and he tried to get more out of Jin Yu's mouth. Many prescriptions.Jinyu has no good solution, can't he be in a hurry with a group of old grandpas?I can only rack my brains.

When I woke up, I realized that there was one important thing I hadn't done.The dry food along the way to Chang’an was bought by Jin Yu alone, and the few sweet potatoes and potatoes that came with him, Jin Yu was not willing to eat any of them, and the road goods that cost one yuan per catty for future generations would not be exchanged for the Tang Dynasty. Productive tool.

For the high-yield "money journey", Jin Yu cheered up and called Chen Rui to build a small greenhouse in the yard together.In those days, there was no plastic film, so we had to cover it with straw. At noon, we opened it to dry in the sun, and then covered it again in the afternoon to keep warm.

After finishing his work, Jin Yu sat under the eaves and thought about what to have for lunch. This is a very serious, deep and powerful question.Finally, Jinyu remembered the only chili left in his bag. At the beginning, Jinyu thought that there was no chili, and there was no cumin, but when he bought seasoning in the pharmacy (others bought it as a pharmacy, Jinyu bought it as a supermarket) ``````), only to know that there is cumin these years, but the name is different, it is called "fennel".It doesn’t matter what it’s called, as long as it’s useful, everyone loves Jinyu’s “special barbecue” on the way from Lingzhou to Chang’an, and everyone praises it after eating it.

At the beginning, Jinyu searched hard, wanting to find even a little bit of wild chili, but unfortunately, along the way, he did not find that there is no one grown and eaten in the farm, so Jinyu cherishes the little chili in the bag, and it will be gone after eating Fortunately, the dried chili I bought at that time was not the chili powder I bought, and I hope the seeds inside can germinate.

Jinyu thinks about the season of growing chili peppers in the past, and feels that it is almost the same now. He sent Chen Rui out to buy two fish and prepared to make a hot and sour fish soup. I haven’t eaten it for a long time. after that.The more he thought about it, the more greedy he became, so Jin Yu went into the house and took out the remaining ten or so small peppers, carefully picked out the seeds, put the seeds on a plate, and took them outside to dry in the sun.Jin Yu was still a little worried, afraid that the sparrows would be harmed, so he asked the lion to watch it, and after a day or two in the sun, the seeds could be planted.

Those who came back with Chen Rui were three veterans, Sun Simiao, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng, and one of them led two fish and carried a jar of wine.Looking at this posture, Jin Yu knew that today might not be a good day, so he should be more pragmatic and prepare more food.

"You're not polite anymore, seniors. Sit down for a while, and I will cook." Jin Yu said, clasping his hands.

"Haha, Mr. Jin is polite, so fellow Taoists should be ashamed, don't disappoint Mr. Jin's kindness." Li Chunfeng is really shameless, and he speaks so beautifully. No.

Jin Yu didn't bother to get angry with him, besides, someone likes the dishes he cooks, and listening to others' appreciation is also a very good thing.

Looking at the eight alive and kicking fish, Jin Yu picked up a fish and weighed it, about three to four catties.In order to make it easier to cook, Jin Yu planned to serve four fish for one dish, and put the fish in a washbasin. It must be spectacular, right?Thinking of their shocked appearance, Jin Yu smiled "evilly" in his heart (actually, Hoe He also laughed).

Four pieces of hot and sour fish and four pieces of sweet and sour fish, it took Jinyu four times to finish. Looking at the two magnificent washbasins in front of him, Jinyu smiled happily.

Just as Jin Yu was about to bring the washbasin into the house, he heard the deep and penetrating roar of the lion outside, so Jin Yu hurriedly ran into the yard.

Jin Yu saw the lion grinning and confronting a guard who had drawn a knife. The man held the steel knife tightly in both hands, while the lion squatted on its hind legs, ready to pounce on it at any time!

"Lion, come here." Jin Yu stopped the lion, and asked the man, "I don't know why the general broke into the house without permission?"

"Master Jin, please don't misunderstand, I will escort Mr. Fang to announce the decree." The man received the steel knife and cupped his fists to apologize.

"My lord? Mr. Fang?" Jin Yu didn't react for a moment.

"Old man Fang Xuanling, you have been ordered by the Holy Spirit to announce the decree, and you will be a viscount in a while." Fang Xuanling said from outside the door and walked in.

"Fang Xuanling? But Master Fang Qiaofang?" Jin Yu couldn't believe it, seeing too many celebrities in the past two days, right?
"It's the old man." Fang Xuanling came in and stood still, stroking his beard and looking at Jin Yu with a smile.

"Boy, I'm sorry, please ask Mr. Fang to sit in the room."

"No hurry, no hurry, finish the business first. Get ready to receive the order."

"What kind of etiquette should this ```receive the order? The boy is a wild man, and he has no experience, so Mr. Fang laughed at him." Jin Yu has thickened his skin recently. Although he is a little worse than Li Chunfeng, he is still not blush Do not jump.

"Facing north, stand with your arms down, chest up and your head up. When the old man finishes his announcement, you just bow your head and fold your hands to receive the order, right?" Fang Xuanling teased Jin Yu and said.

"Yes, yes. Let's start, Mr. Fang?"

"Okay, stand still! Hands flat! Chest up! Head up!" Fang Xuanling's voice was not only a lot louder, but also a lot more stern, and he almost shouted "Stand Attention" to Jin Yu.

Fang Xuanling uncovered the yellow silk and satin on the tray carried by the eunuch behind him (a bit of a mouthful), took out the imperial decree with both hands, raised it above his head, turned his back to the north and stood facing south, just opposite to Jin Yu.After standing still, put the imperial decree on the chest with both hands, open it and read: "Fengtian Chengyun```The Jin clan in Moxi has a son named Yu, who will be granted the title of Viscount with two hundred merits, thirty land rewards, and the word belongs to Tang` ``"

"Lord Jin, why don't you hurry up and receive the decree?" Jin Yu was still thinking about how big an official this "Viscount" is, whether he should go to court, where is this place, why did he just get the word in a daze? ?It was interrupted by Fang Xuanling.

"Oh, return to Tang to receive the edict." Jin Yu came back to his senses, and although he was a little dissatisfied, he quickly bowed his head and cupped his hands to accept the imperial edict.

"Congratulations, you are not only a knight, but also a generous reward, and even a letter. Your Majesty values ​​you very much! This old man must bother Gui Tang for two glasses of wine, ha ha." Fang Xuanling was very talkative in private after finishing his business .

"The food boy has already prepared it, as long as Mr. Fang doesn't dislike it. Please." Jin Yu asked Fang Xuanling to walk to the backyard where the three old masters were.

"Master Fang, this Viscount doesn't need to go to court, right?" Although Jin Yu knew that there had been "Gonghou Bozimen" since ancient times, he really didn't know whether he should go to court. If he did, Jin Yu would rather not.

"Don't worry about it, this is just a lord, not involved in government affairs." Fang Xuanling replied.

"Oh, that kid can rest assured." Jin Yu patted his chest and let out a long breath.

"Guitang is so unwilling to go to court?" Fang Xuanling looked at Jinyu with some amusement.

"I know in my heart how many catties and ounces I have, and going to court just takes up an extra space." Jin Yu explained.

"I'm afraid Gui Tang doesn't want to get up early?" Fang Xuanling pointed out Jin Yu's selfishness.

"Hey, where is Mr. Fang?" Jin Yu agreed by default.

"Haha, this land is just to the north of the thatched field you bought." Fang Xuanling couldn't help but smile when he thought of the thatched field that Li Er mentioned just now.

"Hey, Li Er is really too, why do you give so many lands? How can only three people be so busy?" Jin Yu muttered in a low voice.

"What did Gui Tang say?" Fang Xuanling didn't hear clearly.

"Oh, I talk too much and it makes people worry, there is no one." Of course, Jin Yu didn't dare to blame Li Er in front of Fang Xuanling.

"Don't worry about Gui Tang, someone will come to your door." Fang Xuanling seemed a little unpredictable.
