I went back to ancient times to do business with my game account

Chapter 48 Hot Pot
The reign of Kaiyuan was only 29 years old. The following year, His Majesty the Emperor changed Yuan Tianbao, and the entire court and the public fell into an atmosphere of extreme pleasure.

The dignitaries were extravagant, and they almost sucked the bones of the common people. This incomparably magnificent and magnificent capital city in the world was so deformed as early as the fifth year of Tianbao that Du Fu wrote "The wine and meat of Zhumen stinks, and the road freezes to death." "Bone".

As the eastern capital, Luoyang did enjoy the prosperity of the Kaiyuan period together with Chang'an earlier.During the Tianbao period, because Tang Xuanzong gradually stopped running to Luoyang, the people here did not need to use their blood and sweat to support those fat officials. Therefore, the symptoms of the gap between the rich and the poor were not obvious, and even the legacy of Kaiyuan remained.

In comparison, Luoyang is more suitable for an ordinary citizen like her to settle down than Chang'an.

But Qiao Yun knew what was going to happen next.

As we all know, in the [-]th year of Tianbao, a small rebellion caused the entire Central Plains to be full of wars, and Kyushu was overthrown.

The two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang have since fallen into endless wars.

Qiao Yun doesn't have the lofty ambition to do something against the sky to change fate and turn the tide. Her wish is very simple, she just wants to live a good life.

Then you can only go to Yangzhou or Yizhou.

Qiao Yun is personally optimistic about Yizhou.

Yizhou is known as the City of Abundance. Not only is it prosperous and rich, but the most important thing is that it can expand the pepper market very well!

"What are you thinking, so engrossed?" Seeing Qiao Yun standing there in a daze, Yun Xuemei couldn't help calling out to her.

Qiao Yun came back to her senses, and shook her head with a smile on her face: "It's okay. When we have money in the future, let's move to the south. Yangzhou is good. Or Yizhou is also good."

Hearing the place name Yizhou, Yun Xuemei's body trembled imperceptibly.

"I don't want to go to Yizhou." She bit her lip and met Qiao Yun's gaze, "The secluded general castle... is in Yizhou."

Qiao Yun's breathing was stagnant.

Good guy.

Assassins, killers, using hidden weapons, disguised, still in Sichuan.

Could this be a copy of the Tang Sect from another world?
But since this is the case, Yizhou is really a must.

Yun Xuemei managed to escape from there with great difficulty, and it was true that she could no longer be put in danger.

Qiao Yun smiled reassuringly at her: "It's okay, let's go to Yangzhou. Yangzhou has the Yangtze River waterway from east to west, the Grand Canal from north to south, and a harbor to the east. It is indeed a good place."

While talking, a little maid came in through the curtain, blessed her body, and said: "Miss Yun family, Miss Qiao, lunch is going to be served in Madam's room."

"Let's go." Qiao Yun stretched out her hand towards Yun Xuemei.

Yun Xuemei naturally pulled Qiao Yun to go out with the maid.

The snow outside is getting heavier.

Fortunately, the county magistrate's mansion has built a verandah that runs through each courtyard, so that there is no need to hold an umbrella when walking around in each courtyard.

Along with her was Meng Shaoqing, who came bouncing over and took Qiao Yun's arm: "Are you still used to the room? If there is anything missing, or if the maid is neglecting you, just come and tell me!"

The three of Qiao Yun spoke to each other in a harmonious atmosphere, chatting while walking.Not long after, they came to Mrs. Lu's room.

She lives in the east wing now.

The wing rooms in the main courtyard are much larger than the ones across the courtyard, regardless of the width, there are only three rooms in depth.The dining table is placed in the west room, it is a big round table, the floor is covered with thick carpets, and the ropeless bed is covered with cushions, it is indeed much warmer than the main room.

When Qiao Yun saw this kind of furniture, she felt apprehensive.

It is obvious that tables and stools are very common in common people's homes, why is this kind of short-legged furniture used in the county magistrate's mansion?

After sitting on the ground for a long time, I have to kneel down into carrot legs!

Seeing them coming, Mrs. Lu greeted them: "Come here~ just sit as you like, don't be restrained."

Fortunately, just don't let her kneel all the time.

Sitting cross-legged is more comfortable than kneeling.

Qiao Yun and Meng Shaoqing sat next to Lu Shi on one left and one on the right, and Yun Xuemei sat next to Qiao Yun.

Lu Shi looked at Meng Shaoqing: "Brother Ni, did you say when you will be back?"

Meng Shaoqing nodded and said, "Brother said it was about noon, but he wants to bring his classmates to eat in front. After dinner, come back to say hello to Auntie."

"Then don't wait for him, let's eat first." Shi Lu glanced at the maid who was waiting on the side, and winked.

Afterwards, she took Qiao Yun's hand and rubbed it with a smile: "It's cold today, let's have a pot."

The hot pot in the Tang Dynasty, Qiao Yun knows this.Eating hot pot has always been a fine tradition of the Chinese nation.The hot pot in the Tang Dynasty was called hot pot, and the pots used were no different from those of later generations.

But the way of eating is different from that of later generations. Instead of rinsing and eating, all the ingredients are cooked together in the pot.

Sukiyaki and Xiabu Xiabu in Dongying still retain the eating method learned from the Tang Dynasty.

Soon, the maids put the bowls and chopsticks in front of the four of them, and brought a copper pot and put it in the middle of the round table. The pot had been cooked in advance, so they could eat it directly without cooking it by themselves.The charcoal fire burning at the bottom is just to keep warm.

There are countless ingredients in the pot, such as countless slices of lamb, large pieces of lamb loin and ribs, round lamb meatballs, fried tofu, various mushrooms, and some that are similar to modern times, but can’t be called Vegetables with names.Many ingredients crowded the copper pot to the brim, and the soup bottom was bubbling and bubbling, bursting out with a delicious and eager aroma.

Looking at the pot in front of her, Qiao Yun fell silent again.

It's fine if you don't have a dry oil dish for dipping sauce, the soup base in this pot is too bland!
The soup base is not clear water, it can smell that it is boiled with a whole chicken.But the soup in the pot was as clear as water, and it was obviously served after skimming off the fat and cleaning it with minced meat.

In addition to the full amount of ingredients, Qiao Yun could tell that the second thing that boiled the soup was probably a few goji berries floating on the surface of the soup.

"You're welcome, just treat it as your own home! Eat quickly!"

Madam Lu smiled and put two slices of mutton onto Qiao Yun's plate, and Yun Xuemei picked another lamb tenderloin.

Yun Xuemei thanked her and ate the lamb tenderloin naturally.After giving a compliment, he licked his lips and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables. He seemed to like this pot very much.

Qiao Yun ate the mutton on her plate.

After entering, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Such a clear soup base, if it is only used to boil mutton, it is simply excellent.Remove the miscellaneous odors, and the chicken soup is only fresh, and you can taste the fatness of the fresh lamb by simply rinsing the thin lamb slices twice in the pot.

But when a large number of ingredients are stewed in the same pot like this, the flavors of various ingredients penetrate into each other, not to mention the deliciousness of the lamb is completely destroyed, and the vegetables must also lose their sweetness.

And the cooking time of different types of ingredients is different.For example, lamb slices should never be cooked as long as lamb chops!

The mutton is indeed good mutton, but unfortunately it is overcooked.

But this time she is here as a guest, facing the host's enthusiasm, she can't let the host see that she doesn't like food.

The backwardness of cooking techniques is the limitation of the times, and this cannot be blamed on the county magistrate's kitchen.

"This kind of meat is really good lamb! I can't buy lamb with such good quality meat!"
