The first legitimate son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 122 Li Zhi asks for help
The time was about twelve o'clock at noon. At this time, the bells in Lijiacun rang, three times in total. When the three bells rang, it was time for the people of Lijiacun to have lunch.

The workers from the Ministry of Works happily brought their respective meals to the temporary huts in Lijiacun. These huts were temporary canteens. The large canteen in Lijiacun was still under construction. It was estimated that there would be another month. The canteen in Jiacun can be built.

From now on, the food problem in Lijiacun will be solved in the canteen of Lijiacun. Of course, you don’t have to come to the canteen to eat. You can cook it yourself. This is optional.

"Ha ha.!"

Lao Niu proudly took his rice bowl and came to the hut happily today. At this time, a worker next to Lao Niu smiled and said: "Lao Niu, the spring breeze is proud, and both of your girls have come to the cafeteria. I must eat it today." You need to scoop more food for me."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Lao Niu nodded happily.

Now Lao Niu's two daughters have gone through the operation and have started working as handymen in the canteen of Lijia Village. They earn four dollars a month. Oh my, it is really a high salary that I have never thought of.

Lao Niu was very proud, because it was all because of his foresight. If he hadn't fallen in love with the two boys from Liuxiadi at a glance, how could his family have such a good life.

Although the two boys in Liuxiadi are a bit older, the older boys can love others. My mother-in-law did not agree at first, but after her two daughters had the opportunity to enter the canteen of Lijiacun, it was... Praise Lao Niu for his foresight at home.

Lao Niu has been very proud of himself these past two days, and just this morning, Lao Niu saw that his two prospective sons-in-law had their own errands. One was in charge of hundreds of people growing weeds outside, and the other wanted to go to Chang'an every day. Lao Niu was really happy to go shopping in the city, so that his daughter would never have to go hungry again.

Lao Niu knows what it's like to go hungry. During the locust plague in the second year of Zhenguan, Lao Niu experienced it. At that time, the famine was so severe in the capital, Hedong, Henan, and Longyou that one piece of silk could only cost one bushel of rice.

A piece of silk costs about [-] yuan. It can be said that the price of rice has risen ridiculously. Can the rich still have money to buy it? Do the common people have money?
Of course not, the people had no money or food, so how could they live? It was a difficult life. In the second year of Zhenguan, Wude was pregnant with a boy, and his aunt was worried about it.In order to store embarrassment, his family has a lot of noodles, beans, and rice. "

What does this mean? A woman in Wude gave birth to a son. In ancient times, giving birth to a son was originally a great joy, but because the family was poor and had no food, it became a worrying thing.

During the worst period of the second year of Zhenguan, the people basically lived on eating dirt. Some people would be surprised. During the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, people still ate dirt?

This is true, because there were many disasters in the Tang Dynasty. There is a saying: the prosperity of the people is suffering, and the destruction of the people is suffering.

That kind of soil is not Guanyin soil. Eating Guanyin soil will kill people. At that time, people in the Tang Dynasty had to first find some soft soil and then use a sieve to remove stones and garbage from the soil.Then rinse repeatedly with water to remove some dust that easily adheres to the intestines and cannot be discharged.After these are ready, start adding water, salt and some wild vegetables.

Stir these things well, then shape them into cakes by hand, and place them on smooth stones to dry.

After a few days of frying, if the hardness is acceptable, people will take out the dried mud cakes, put them together, and store them in the house. When they are hungry, they can have a piece directly.

Lao Niu had eaten mud cakes like this before. It was too unpalatable, so Lao Niu didn't want to eat it anymore. He wanted to find a good home for his daughter, and he must always have enough to eat. Fortunately, Lao Niu found it.

"Orchid...!" Lao Niu came to his eldest daughter with a smile. Today, his eldest daughter Niu Lanhua was given as a staple food.When Lanhua saw her father coming over, she immediately brought him two large meat pancakes. Looking at his eldest daughter, Lao Niu smiled and said, "Lanhua, what are you going to eat today?" food?"

Lan Hua looked at her father and said with a smile: "Lamb bone soup, one crucian carp, one spoonful of duck meat, and Persian grass..." (Persian grass is spinach, so the name probably because it was brought by the Persians (for reasons.)
"Okay, okay!" Lao Niu shook his head happily. When Lao Niu came to his second daughter, He Hua, who was doing the cooking, his second daughter, He Hua, picked out a big crucian carp for her father.

Lao Niu was so happy that he scooped a bowl of milky white mutton soup into the rice. Fortunately, he even got a sheep's hoof to chew on. He took a slight sip of the mutton soup, another mouthful of meat pancakes, and continued to eat. A big piece of rice filled his mouth with fragrance. At this time, Lao Niu showed an expression of satisfaction and happiness.

Lao Niu loves this kind of life so much, maybe this is the prosperous life in Lao Niu's eyes!

"Wow dad, this is delicious!"

When the people in Lijia Village were eating, Li An and Li Duoduo were also eating. The two of them sat at a small dining table. Liu Yiyi took out a food box and took plates of exquisite dishes from it. out.

The delicious dish Li Duoduo mentioned is called steamed wax bear in separate packages. It is made by putting pickled and air-dried bear meat into a pot and steaming it.

It is very delicious. Eating more bear meat is also good for the human body. These marinated and air-dried bear meats are sold in Chang'an, and the price is on the higher side. Let's have a chopstick spring dish, that is, squab, and eight immortals plate. Eight sets of goose made from goose.

The last one is fish stuffed with milk soup, and the whole fish is roasted in goat milk.

After dinner, the snack is bubble oil cake. After adding lard flour to make hot noodles, wrap it with a filling made of white sugar, cinnamon sauce, rose sauce, walnut kernels, and cooked flour. Put it in an oil pan and fry it while rotating. After deep-frying, a layer of bubbles appears on the surface of the cake as thin as cicada wings and as white as frost and snow, which seems to disappear at the sight of wind. Take it out and eat it while it is hot. It will melt in your mouth, making it soft and moist, fragrant and mellow.

Li An likes this snack the most. He eats it in the morning and at noon. After the dishes were placed, Li An and Li Duoduo started eating. Liu Yiyi also went back to the small kitchen to eat at this time. She couldn't eat with Li An and Li Duo. Eat together.

This is the hierarchy of society at this time. If you are a time traveler, it is best not to try to break this hierarchy, because you are not a god. Unless you have absolute power, you should just go with the flow, especially if you don’t. It is simply ridiculous to try to establish democracy with absolute power. Your end should be the same as Wang Mang's.

Wang Mang implemented the king's land system, renamed the world's fields to "wang's fields", and restored the well-field system under the name of the king's fields; slaves and maidservants were renamed "private", and they were not allowed to trade with the king's fields.Afterwards, the currency system was changed many times, the official system and official names were changed, and salt, iron, wine, coins, mountains, forests and rivers were nationalized.

Then there was a big riot, and Wang Mang also died in the rebellion.

Of course, if you have absolute power, you can nationalize everything. In this way, the court power can be highly centralized. Everything belongs to the court, and the people will be firmly in their hands, and everything will be in their hands. No more, including the houses and land left by your ancestors for you, after they become the property of the country, then the common people will be rootless duckweeds. If the court implements a policy of 33 taels of silver, the common people can become the court's property. Slaves, inexhaustible.

Just when Li An and Li Duoduo were about to finish their lunch, a sad voice sounded outside: "Brother Li, you must help me."
