Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 145

Jin Yu is very fortunate to have found a good wife and a few good helpers.Regardless of Yang Ying's young age, in front of the farmer, she is a decent image of the mistress, and things are well organized. Of course, the situation would have been better if Jin Yu hadn't come to give such a stick from time to time.

Not to mention Chen Rui, Han Wu, and Hu Yue, they were determined to follow Jin Yu, and a large part of the reason was Yang Ying. After all, Chen Rui and Han Wu were loyal to the princess.Hu Yue didn't say anything about the tasks assigned to him by Jin Yu, and ran to find old man Zhang that day.

Old man Zhang is kind and honest, and his family’s economy is not very good. The second housekeeper of the Jin Family Zhuangzi also said, don’t worry about whether you can sell it or not.Uncle Zhang's family doesn't have much land, and his income is still unstable. In addition, his baby is engaged and he is going to get married, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

I went to Jinjiazhuangzi to have a look, huh, isn't this the little man I met just now?Immediately, the favorability doubled. I just complained a few words about the Jinjia Zhuangzi's bridge construction, and he immediately found me a job. This is love!The old man had never been valued so much in his life, and Jin Yu had a drink and tears filled his eyes.

Jin Yu waited for the old man's mood to be more stable, and gave a general account of the papermaking process according to his previous memory. The old man was still more skeptical, how many generations has it been passed down from generation to generation?I have never heard of using straw to make paper!Old man Zhang opened his mouth to express his concerns.

Jin Yu is full of self-confidence, can the smell of so many years be for nothing?Besides, there is no big coincidence in it, Jin Yu told the old man Zhang, as long as he followed my method, it would definitely work, so don't worry!Jin Yu also specially told Old Man Zhang to copy some thinner paper pulp and dry it in the shade. This kid really misses straw paper so much!Rice paper is expensive these days, and the amount is enough for a catty of pork at a time. What is the difference between this and taking money to deal with the aftermath?
The old man Zhang is really not used to staying in this high-ranking family. He has said everything he needs to say, and he just does it by himself. He went home and started working. Anyway, the equipment is ready-made. There will be a result in seven days, and then we can see the result.

Four or five days passed by in a flash, and Chen Rui was the busiest, and he had to buy everything. Fortunately, the tiger bone wine sent by Jinyu was less effective, but his pace was much more stable, and he could climb in one breath. When you reach the fifth floor, you don't have to breathe heavily!
Mr. Qin's hunt is also over, and he arranged for Cheng Huaimo and Qin Huaiyu to send a deer to Jin Yu.Leopard prints are hard to find these days, and deer prints are also good. Imagining his little daughter-in-law wearing a deer print dress, Jin Yu is drooling for nothing, looking forward to it``````
Cheng Qin's two younger brothers left after sending them off, and they couldn't stay. They lived in the wild for several days, and they were often oppressed, and they were anxious to go home to catch up on sleep.Jin Yu didn't back down, so he left just in time to have a bonfire party with his wife.

It doesn't matter if there are fewer people, the key is the sentiment.Yang Ying misses the days along the way very much. Every night, she tastes Jinyu's barbecue, sleeps in the tent by herself, and Jinyu sleeps in the grass.Serious men are the most attractive, and Yang Ying is fascinated by the appearance of Jinyu's barbecue.Yang Ying stared blankly at her husband with her chin in her hands, her heart was full of happiness, almost overflowing.

There are no bicycle spokes these days, and the iron rods are thicker than your fingers, so it is obvious that venison cannot be roasted, so Jin Yu cut out some bamboo skewers to replace the spokes, and after boiling them in boiling water, they are both sterilized and resistant to burning, killing two birds with one stone.Bamboo sticks were not invented by Jin Yu either. When Jin Yu was in college, there were a lot of boiled skewers at the gate of the school for [-] cents each.Jin Yu often invites Wang Guo to eat.Jin Yu patted his head, yes, this boiled skewer can be sold, boil some skewers with chili water and serve it, there is nothing on it, diners will not know that it is chili even if they want to break their heads!It's delicious and you don't have to worry about leaking secrets. It's a good idea.Jin Yu thinks that as long as he concentrates, he can easily come up with good ideas, what a genius!

"Did my husband often bake and eat by himself?" Yang Ying asked curiously seeing Jinyu's skillful movements.

"It's not troublesome enough to roast it yourself. You can buy it, but you can't buy venison. It's basically mutton. Some unscrupulous vendors even use cat meat instead of mutton." Venison is a precious thing, Jin Yu It was the first time I had eaten it in two lifetimes. Venison is not as smelly as mutton, so cumin can be discarded.From time to time, Jin Yu used a bamboo stick to pierce it, not to mention that it was cooked quickly, and it could be roasted evenly.Jin Yu handed the grilled meat skewers to Yang Ying, "Come, try it."

Yang Ying wiped off the carbon dust from the bamboo tip with a handkerchief, opened her mouth to reveal the small white teeth, bit the venison and tore off a piece, it was a little hot, opened her mouth to take a few breaths of cool air, the little tongue was so lustful . "Well, it's delicious." Yang Ying chewed a few mouthfuls, and before swallowing, she boasted, her small eyes were narrowed, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

"Eat more if it tastes good. It's also good to have a drink of rice wine. I put some ice on it for my husband. It's very refreshing when it's cold." Jinyu was also happy to see that his daughter-in-law liked it.How can future generations eat barbecue without drinking?Especially draft beer, so many drafts in summer, enjoy!It's a pity that he doesn't know how to make it, so he had to use rice wine instead. The Erguotou is not suitable for Yang Ying, because the alcohol content is too high.

"Yeah." Yang Ying was very obedient, took a sip of the rice wine, and handed the meat skewers to Jin Yu's mouth, "My husband should try it too."

"Okay, eat one piece." Jin Yu saw that there was a lot of roasting, so he made the charcoal fire a little thinner, put the venison skewers on it and roasted it, and turned it over after a while.

"Husband, eat more." Yang Ying put most of the meat skewers on Jin Yu's side. She doesn't like meat very much, but she has a soft spot for the fruit plate.

Jinyu is a carnivorous animal, and basically has no taboos on meat. Although Yang Ying has become much plump, she has not yet reached Jinyu's ideal level, and now she has to make up for what was left behind. "Don't just let me eat, my wife should eat more too. Only by eating meat can I gain weight."

"Does my husband think my concubine is thin?" According to the calculation of later generations, Yang Ying is still in adolescence at this age, and her emotions are very sensitive, so it is easy to get wrong.

"No, for my husband, I think one more woman will make you fat, and one less will make you thin. This is just right." Women need to be coaxed, especially adolescent girls. During these days of getting along, Jin Yu has also figured out how to flirt between husband and wife A set of words.

"That still urges me to eat more meat." Yang Ying wrinkled her nose and muttered dissatisfiedly.

"Cough cough." Jin Yu whispered, and said seriously: "Miss, look, the Zhao family in the west, the child just added at the beginning of the month, right? It will be gone before the full moon, why? The baby is too thin, it's okay Milk, I don’t want to be a husband``````"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Yang Ying hurriedly covered Jin Yu's mouth, and yelled several times in a row, "I can't say anything! Our baby will be safe and sound! It's enough for me to eat, and I won't say such things in the future." .”

"Hey, good." Jin Yu felt a little unlucky after thinking about it, touched his head, and stopped talking.

"It's so naive!" The sky now is different from that of later generations, there is no pollution, as long as it is sunny, the sky is full of stars.It can be said that Li Chunfeng is an astronomer, right?People like to look at images to make calendars, right?If he was allowed to travel to the cities of later generations, he would be so sad to death!Can't see any stars, just a moon, you can figure it out, he still hasn't jumped off the building?

"Husband, look! The stars can move!" Yang Ying has the potential to be a witch, and she discovered the abnormality of the astrology within a few seconds.

Jin Yu looked in the direction of Yang Ying's finger, it was not bad, it could really move, and it flew very fast!But definitely not a shooting star! "Silly girl, that's a firefly, it's no wonder it doesn't move!"

"Firefly? Is it the one that Che Yinzhuo went to study after?" Although Yang Ying had suffered for two years, her childhood was raised according to the standards of a lady, so she knew a lot about literary allusions, but she couldn't be right. .

"Che Yin? The lady said 'Nang Ying Zhao Shu'?" Jin Yu had heard of this story. There were examples in the textbooks when he was a child, encouraging children to study hard.

"Nangying according to the book? The words created by the husband? It's appropriate." Yang Ying only knew that there was such a thing. As for the idioms, there were no idioms at that time. "Book of Jin" was compiled by Fang Xuanling and a group of younger brothers. By the time Li Zhi arrived, he hadn't finished writing it, let alone published it.

"That's a trick to fool melon seeds, you also believe it." Jin Yu sneered at this story, the child was very moved after seeing the story, firstly, he could go out to catch fireflies, and secondly, he could save electricity at home, so one day I caught a lot of them, and it turned out `````` So Jin Yu had a skeptical spirit since he was a child. It is said that the education in that era was still very inspiring. Naughty children would find that some people were lying, and children who believed in books Sadly, he became a victim of "the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu".

Hearing what Jin Yu said, Yang Ying was very unconvinced. If her husband said this outside, it would make people laugh. "Husband, how can you say that? Che Yin is a person from the official to the minister."

"Silly girl." Jin Yu saw Yang Ying's earnest appearance was also cute, shook his head and explained to her: "The light emitted by this firefly is very weak, no matter how much you catch it, the brightness is not high. This thing is not so easy to catch, Dozens of them? It will take a long time for Che Yin to do it, and if you have that spare time, why not cut firewood and change some lamp oil during the day."

"It's bright in the daytime, that's a good time to read, of course you can't chop firewood!" Yang Ying still didn't accept Jin Yu's statement, and she was still quite superstitious about the things in books these days.

"Okay, let's break it up." Jin Yu took a sip of rice wine, moistened his throat, and said, "First, Che Yin's brain is not flexible enough. If it were me, I would spend some time during the day to pick up things." Some dry firewood, even if there is no oil lamp at night, can dry firewood be used for lighting? Second, it took only two hours for the firefly to die. Poverty, still ruining the cloth? If the lady is interested, I can take you to catch hundreds of them for your husband, so that you can't read the words in the book. How about saying "the light of fireflies dares to compete with the sun and the moon"? You can’t see clearly under the moon, but you can see clearly with fireflies? Fourth, he reads day and night, so there must be more than one book? The family can’t afford oil, and they still have money to buy books? So, this story is not blind It’s made up, that is, they don’t lack money at all!”

"Then according to what my husband said, it's also fake for Kuangheng to steal the light?" Yang Yingruo realized something, her little mind was very flexible, and she quickly learned to infer other things from one instance.

"It's really smart." Jin Yu praised Yang Ying, and then analyzed: "Think about it, most people don't have lights at night, right? Even if Kuang Heng's neighbor is a wealthy family, they will be in the house near Kuang Heng Lighting? Usually in the main room, right? Let’s take a step back and say, just next door to Kuang Heng. A kid broke the wall for him, wouldn’t he know? Maybe he thought the kid was a peeping tom , Why don’t you catch Kuang Heng? Think about it, lady, if someone smashes a hole in the wall of the room where we sleep, isn’t it a peeping tom?”

"Husband, what are you talking about, what are you doing? I'm so flustered. I want to see if there are any holes in the wall." Yang Ying blushed and touched her arm, as if someone was really peeping.

"The hole was also made by a mouse, and there is no one living next door." Jin Yu twisted Yang Ying's nose, feeling very fulfilled. Gossiping about the lies of the ancients is also a good entertainment. No wonder it is said that the ancients were intriguing. There are no entertainment activities in the evening, who do you fight with if you don’t fight with others?Grandpa Mao said when there were light bulbs, "Some people have a lot of fun fighting", which is a golden word.The old man is so particular about "seeking truth from facts", why didn't he investigate the mistakes of the ancients and criticize them?Alas, poor Kong Laoer was being targeted. It seems that it is not good for someone to be too famous.

"Understood? Confucius, the old man, said a long time ago that 'it is better to have no books than to believe in books'. It is better for a lady to listen to her husband's teaching." Jin Yu was a little drunk, seeing that Yang Ying was questioned by the society he taught. ,Great sense of accomplishment.

"That's what Mencius said." Yang Ying was very speechless to her husband, pretending to be confused.

"Anyway, it's all 'Zi Yue', Mencius, an old man, won't have any opinions, can he still jump out of the grave and beat me?" Jin Yu didn't wipe the tip of the bamboo, he just opened his mouth and rolled it.

"Don't say that outside, be careful of those literati who will ruin your husband's reputation." Yang Ying saw that there was no wine in Jin Yu's bowl, so she exchanged the two bowls. She still had half of the bowl, and she didn't want to drink it. isn't it?

"Well, I got it, don't say it." Jin Yu nodded in response. You can't talk nonsense these days. Although you won't be pulled out to wear a high hat, some verbal attacks are inevitable.

There was a smell of paste in the air, Jin Yu sniffed his nose, it was broken!The patronage has spoken, the venison is burnt!Looking at the burnt venison on the plate, Jin Yu said, "It's a pity to throw it away, eat it!"

Yang Ying took care of the family and said, "Yes, that's fine."

Jin Yu nodded and called out: "Little Four and Little Five!" The dog is not too burnt. The place where this husky originally lived was in the Northeast, and what he ate was venison. Although they are reindeer and this is sika deer, they both Is it an old ancestor?Fortunately, Xiaosi and Xiaowu are not picky eaters.

Yang Ying looked at her husband, and then at the four and five who were eating happily under her feet, she couldn't laugh or cry.
