Zhurou

Chapter 146
The group of scholars in the hall acted as if there was no one else around, each had something to say and something to argue about, it was inevitable that they would appear noisy.

Pei Yong's voice was not loud, and he even deliberately lowered his voice by three points. Zhao Mingzhi sat arm's length away from him, and because he was afraid that he might not hear clearly, he leaned forward halfway. Slowly put the teacup filled with hot water back on the table, without saying a word, kept quiet for a while, then suddenly reached out and took off the veiled hat, put it aside casually, revealing his face.

Her ears were already getting slightly hot, but she was glad that she couldn't see it, and she could still pretend nothing happened. She pretended to be calm, and then lowered her head to take the bamboo chopsticks, but she held them in her hands for a while before glancing at the bamboo chopsticks on the right. Sitting on Pei Yong, he said: "Second brother likes it, if I insist that I am not happy, it will be a lie."

But with just a few words, Zhao Mingzhi couldn't help pursing his lips while talking, and then secretly looked at Pei Yong. He didn't know it, but from the perspective of others, especially the right-hand person, it was really too sweet.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt bold and impudent, but today she just wanted to be presumptuous and didn't want to hide it, but straightened her back even more.

Pei Yong sat on the side, watching her actions and listening to her words, he felt that it was really pleasing to the ears, and even more pleasing to the eyes.

When he went to Jingzhao Mansion all the way, he knew that as long as there is love in life, he will love the house and the black, regardless of appearance, words, and actions, others may seem ordinary, but in the eyes of each other, they are really special.

It is rare to see you again at this time, and there is an open space to sit here for a while, and no matter how many other people are there, he doesn't bother to care about it, and only looks at Zhao Mingzhi with his eyes, especially when her veil is gone, revealing a beautiful face Zhang Baijing's small face is almost completely different from before, but once he speaks and moves, looking at the vivid expression, he is still the person he has always put in his heart.

The meal was eaten at a leisurely pace.

Pei Yong was not in a hurry to eat, so he picked the fish carefully with chopsticks, first stroked the belly of the fish, and then picked the cheeks, because he didn't want the fish to be cold, so he used his hands to place the fish on the iron rack that was burnt with charcoal. Take your time.

And Zhao Mingzhi washed his hands, and because he had ordered early lamb bone and cake, he tore the cake into small pieces first, then took a knife and chopsticks to pick up the mutton, and stopped his hands when the plate was full. The plate was pushed in front of Pei Yong.

One of them picks the fish, the other takes care of the meat. They don't find it bothersome and trivial at all. On the contrary, they feel that it is rare to relax and enjoy themselves very much. But Mu Xiang, who wanted to go forward to serve him, got up or couldn't get up, so he had to One ear is erected to listen, and the other eye is secretly used to see. A meal makes the food tasteless.

However, Zhao Mingzhi felt that the dishes on the table today were particularly brilliant. Although there were not many dishes, they were all very good.

The fish was served with stuffed fish, crisp bone fish, and double-cooked fish, and the stuffed fish was the most powerful.

The specially selected large crucian carp is roasted just right, the fish scales are removed very cleanly, and the stomach is filled with stuffing, which is minced pork and sheep tender meat, mixed with rice, japonica rice, spices, ginger, and orange peel for juice To remove the fishy smell, first fry it with sheep tail oil, mushrooms, ham, and diced winter bamboo shoots. After frying the taste, steam it in water until it is soft, and then refill the fish belly.

The fish maw was washed very clean, and the blood was drained. The fishy smell was already very light. When the belly was full, it was chubby and put on an iron frame. It was grilled on a low fire, and the sauce was layered with black bean sauce, white rice vinegar and fish sauce. Repeatedly brushing, it really tastes good inside and out.

This fish dish takes a lot of effort. When it is served, the skin is crispy yellow, moist with oil, crispy, fragrant and not pungent. The fish is tender and has no fishy smell. The flavor is light but very transparent. It is not called sauce The flavor of the sauce subdues the unique sweetness of crucian carp, but it is not light at all. The greasy and greasy filling inside is absorbed by the rice, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms. It tastes more layered and less greasy.

Especially when she eats it without picking the thorns, a bowl of hot mutton soup is so fresh that her eyebrows will float.

The lamb used for the lamb bone is tender and less fishy, ​​and the skin is roasted very dry and fragrant. When you bite into it, the gravy is mixed with fat, and it is full of fat. It is eaten with lamb soup and pancakes, and it is accompanied by a few stir-fried side dishes. One mouthful is fragrant and the other is refreshing.

Even the biscuits are different from the past. The noodles seem to be particularly fragrant, chewy but not tough, so you can eat them however you like.

The two stopped their chopsticks almost at the same time, and washed their hands with tea.

When someone removed the leftovers from the table and brought up fruit drinks, Pei Yong casually took an orange in his hand, peeled half of the skin, put it on a small plate and pushed it in front of Zhao Mingzhi, and moved a little closer. Only then did he ask: "Beijing Bank of China is so tight on money, how will you raise it—can Caizhou send it in time?"

Zhao Mingzhi simply gave up, and confessed honestly: "Caizhou can't take care of himself. Before I set off for Jingzhao Mansion, Lu Xianzhang was supposed to go to Jiangzhou and Shuzhou to raise food and pay, but now he came to the capital. I don't know who took the job and when it will make progress, but in any case, it's probably too late."

Hearing these words, Pei Yong didn't show any strange expression on his face, as if he had expected it, he only continued: "Since you are so urgent, why don't you want me? Are you still an outsider?"

Zhao Mingzhi shook his head and said, "No amount of money is enough to fill this bottomless pit. Besides, there will definitely be wars in the future. The second brother's place is reserved for me. I can't move until the last step."

He said again: "In fact, I have been thinking about it for a long time on the road. I knew it would happen, but I have some ideas, but I don't know if it can be done."

She briefly stated her original plan, and added: "If it's not a last resort, I still want to relax first, but it's best to have someone take the lead. I don't know a few wealthy people in the capital, so it's a bit troublesome."

After Pei Yong listened, he pondered for a while and said: "I had some business in Beijing in the early years, and I have accumulated it over time. Although it is not too extravagant to cover up, I can still see it. If I want to stand out this time, I will send someone to sing."

He asked again: "After all, this is only for a transitional purpose, what will happen in the future?"

Zhao Mingzhi said: "When the siege of Xuzhou is over, I told my second brother that if we can fight a battle and bring back half of the people's hearts, we will be able to stabilize the capital. I don't think Lu Xianzhang can do things alone. I have an identity. , it is unavoidable to come forward and make a show, maybe I can help."

"Not to mention, the second brother just said that he wanted to recruit people to repair the city defense, and he also said that there is a shortage of money and food. Right now, the price of food has risen sharply. If we don't take advantage of the solar terms to continue the spring plowing, it will be even more difficult in the future."

"Farmers fled south one after another, and there is no one farming near the capital. The government of the capital is about to report the specific situation. Where the fields are unowned and have been abandoned, where the houses are unoccupied, they can be distributed, etc. Returning to the original path, with self-owned commercial gatherings, three years to five years, ten years to eight years, as long as the hearts of the people are still there, everyone is willing to wait, and they will always be able to recuperate. …”

"I can't do it next to me. I claim a piece of unowned wasteland. I go to hoe the fields every day, but I can still do it. If I can harvest it, my second brother will definitely eat the millet I planted in autumn." .”

It is obviously an extremely difficult matter, but the princess of a country wants to farm in public, just to raise the hearts of the people, but Zhao Mingzhi said it without embarrassment, as if there is a lot of fun in it.

Pei Yong only responded softly, and then said softly: "Then I will eat the grain you planted."

He said again: "When the government of the capital comes out with the fields, you remember to take the land outside the south of the city."

Zhao Mingzhi was startled, and couldn't help but look up at him.

"My house is located in Zhouqiao, and the Western Army is also stationed in the south of the city. Then I will do what you do, farm the fields and reclaim the land. You go back and forth every day, and I can go the same way. Isn't it good?"

When he said this, he smiled again and said: "As for Mr. Lu, you don't have to worry that he can't manage it alone. I wanted to help him a long time ago. I'm afraid he won't be able to get around it. But today I've figured out a way - as early as tonight , or tomorrow, he will come to me, and he will probably hand over the matter of patrolling the city’s shops and security, as well as refugees, disaster relief, etc., when I pick it up, it’s done properly, how can you thank me?”

　Thank you Kongguliuyun Yuewen id for sending me 10 yuan of Heshibi, 1 piece of Zuojue Heshibi, and a small money pot from the God of Wealth.

　　Thank you dear, I will work hard~
