Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 24
"No, it's still early, you go to sleep for a while, I'll get up and read a book."

"Slaves go to light the lamps."

The candle was lit, and the orange light slightly dispelled the coldness brought by the dream.Zuo Fu gently wiped the fine sweat off his head, and said: "Go to sleep now, I don't need you to wait on me."

"That's not allowed, big girl, I'm on duty today, so I can't leave."

Chun Ya is stubborn and a very conscientious maid.Zuo Fu couldn't bear her being scolded by the woman in charge, so he didn't force her anymore.

He got up and sat down at the table, took a sip of water, and stared at the flickering candlelight in a daze.

Chunya thought that she couldn't adapt to the poor condition of the Qianhu House, so she comforted her: "Miss, the master said, in a few days, let someone repair the inside of the house, and then it will be comfortable."

After a pause, he added: "It's just that it can't be done outside! According to the rules set by the Taizu, all court yamen can't be repaired."

"It's already pretty good here."

Zuo Fu looked around, "Dad has been repaired a few days ago, except for a little musty smell, everything else is good."

"What about the girl?"

"Did you see those people during the day?"

Chun Ya was stunned for a moment, and understood Zuo Fu's meaning, she lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "The people outside are almost like this, they have already made up their minds, the master is kind, he doesn't drink soldiers' blood, and even helps them, servant girl I heard that many guards have escaped without a single person..."

"what?!"

Zuo Fu already felt that the Jiangdong guards were fucked enough, but he didn't expect there to be more fucked up. The soldiers and generals ran away together. How could Daming not perish? !
"Hey, big girl, don't think too much about it. It's good to have a stutter these days. I heard that there have been a lot of refugees in the city recently, and they all came from the north. Those who can survive now are Blessed."

It was difficult for Zuo Fu to accept Chun Ya's taking it for granted, everyone was so numb, including the maid beside her...

Picking up the teacup and taking another sip of water, he said, "Have all the herbs been transported to Master's place?"

"Miss, don't worry! Zuo Gui is a child of the family. Since he was a child, he has been assigned to run errands for the girl. The girl has always treated him well. He is loyal and capable. He will never let the old lady know."

She paused and asked again: "Girl, what do the gods want our medicine from the world?"

Miss Chun Ya started to make up her mind again.Because she saw that Zuo Fu bought a lot of medicinal materials, but she saw that she never used them, and when she got home, those medicinal materials disappeared, so they must have been given to the gods in the sky.It's just that gods are invulnerable to all diseases, so why do you need medicine from the world?
"Tsubaki, you ask too many questions."

Zuo Fu made a serious face on purpose, "I don't know some things, so don't ask too clearly."

Chun Ya shivered, this was the first time she felt coldness from Zuo Fu, she quickly knelt down, "It's the servant who broke the rules, girl forgive me."

Zuo Fu bent down to help her up, patted her hand and said: "You and I grew up together, we say that we are slaves, but we are actually sisters. You have done things faithfully, and I will not forget your kindness. I just want to leave I will take you with me, too."

The poverty of Qianhusuo had a great impact on Zuo Fu, and she suddenly felt that she could no longer use the concepts of the 21st century to handle things.

The combination of kindness and power is the most suitable way for the Ming Dynasty to employ people.Chun Ya is good, but she is too curious, which is not very good for her, so it is time to beat her.

Sure enough, after hearing Zuo Fu's words, Chunya nodded repeatedly, "Miss, I made a mistake, I am already a semi-immortal, with great wisdom, I shouldn't talk too much."

"Okay, I'm doing this for your own good. It's better for you to not know about some things, or you will die easily. You go and order someone to fetch water. I don't even remember my fists and kicks. The world is in trouble. I should also seek my father's advice, and then I will be able to protect myself a little bit."

After a pause, he continued: "Go to the kitchen and ask someone to get some boiled chicken (eggs). If there is goat's milk, bring me some."

Chunya said "here" to take the order, and after a while, women and maidservants came over to help Zuo Fu wash up, and according to Zuo Fu's instructions, they brought a boiled egg and goat's milk.

In ancient times, cattle were an important production tool. Every cattle had to be enthroned in the government, even if it died, it had to be reported to the government, and it could be handled by the government after inspection.Pork is cheap meat in the eyes of the rich, so there are many people who eat mutton.

The condition of the Zuo family is not bad, and some sheep are kept in captivity.This time the property was sold, but these livestock were not dealt with, and they were all brought to the Thousand Households.On weekdays, Father Zuo has the habit of using goat's milk. The woman in the kitchen heard that the eldest girl is going to drink goat's milk, so he hurriedly asked someone to fetch sweet almond powder, squeezed the goat's milk himself, and added almond powder , boiled on a low fire to remove the smell of goat milk, and then it was served.

I was also puzzled.The master learned from the Tatars to drink goat's milk, saying that the Tatars are healthy because they drank cow's milk and goat's milk.But this family only drinks from the master, the wife and the girl are always respectful, why does the eldest girl suddenly want to drink goat's milk?
Anyway, the old lady didn't work in the kitchen for nothing, so she naturally knew some secret recipes to remove the milky smell.Now that the big girl wants to drink goat milk, this secret recipe will come in handy.

The goat's milk was brought to Zuo Fu, and Mrs. Liu from the kitchen followed her in person. After saluting, she said, "Miss, this goat's milk has sweet almond powder in it. It doesn't smell bad after eating. You can eat it with confidence. This goat's milk It’s really a good thing, the master has been drinking this, and the injuries he suffered in the past have been healed by this sheep, which is more effective than eating ginseng!”

After a pause, she continued: "The old lady also added sweet almond powder to it, it can also whiten the skin after long-term consumption!"

Zuo Fu nodded, "You have a heart."

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of goat's milk, and as a result, the smell was gone, he felt satisfied and said, "In the future, I will get up early to pick up my fist and kick kung fu again. But it is not suitable to practice if I am too full. From now on, I will leave my morning meal to Mother Liu is gone. This goat milk and boiled chicken have to be prepared every day before I practice martial arts.

Mrs. Liu listened carefully, and after keeping Zuo Fu's request in her heart, she was blessed, "Don't worry, old lady, I will do things with my heart."

"Mom has worked hard."

Zuo Fu waved his hand, signaling Chun Ya to reward him with a sling of money, then ate the boiled eggs and goat's milk, got up, stretched his body, and headed towards the training ground.

The morning light was twilight, and no one could be seen on the huge training ground.Everyone can't eat enough, and it's hard to walk, so where can we practice?Father Zuo sold the field and the house this time, and got 12 taels of silver, which is already his entire family property.

Yesterday, I came to Qianhusuo. In order to stimulate everyone's fighting spirit, each family was given 10 catties of brown rice, and then each household was divided into two catties of pork, one catty of water, and three taels of salt.

There are a total of 830 people in the Thousand Households Institute, and every household has five or six people. This little thing is just a drop in the bucket.But Papa Zuo only has this ability, and others can only take one step at a time.
