Datang little husband

Chapter 45
Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Du Gou's daughter-in-law looked down at her disappointing stomach with some sadness. She had been married to Du Gou for several years, but her stomach hadn't moved. It's fake, not only she is anxious, but Du Gou is also anxious.

But this child's matter is not something that can be done in a hurry, but when she heard her mother-in-law say this today, a strong sense of crisis rose in her heart.

You must know that there are three reasons for this unfilial piety: no offspring is the biggest. Although she is still young, if she is unable to conceive or gives birth to a daughter, then it is considered that Du Gou likes her, and she has to make arrangements for Du Gou to take a concubine. .

Although this sounds unbelievable, it is the reality. You can't have a son, so in order to prevent your husband's family from becoming extinct, then you have to recruit one or two concubines for your husband, and let them complete the husband's family on your behalf. A matter of succession.

Even with a title like Du Gou, when the husband and wife are older, she still has to take care of concubines for her husband.

Although it is said that the wife takes concubines for her husband to continue the incense of her husband's family, but also to prevent herself from having a reputation of jealousy.

But seeing their husbands and concubines kissing me makes them feel uncomfortable, so many people will take the initiative to take concubines for their husbands.

This smarter person will find a sister who has the same temperament as her and is close to her from her in-law's family. In this way, although she still has to share her husband with other women, at least she is a sister who has a similar temperament and is close to her, and there will be no such thing as competing for favor. .

And in this way, my husband will be happy, and I can rest assured. After all, her sister, who came from the same school as her, will definitely not look too bad, but because she is a concubine or a side branch, she can only be a concubine.

However, such cases are rare, and more cases are of the same kind. For the sake of one's own status, the concubines given to her husband are all the kind with big arms and unsatisfactory appearance.

And they also have their own set of arguments, this concubine is just to continue the incense, but also want to find a good-looking, what a dream!
But it was such a big shoulder and round waist that no one had ever owned in the Tang Dynasty. That person was none other than Fang Xuanling, a famous prime minister of the generation.

At this time, Mrs. Liu also noticed something wrong with her eldest daughter-in-law. Seeing her thoughtful appearance, Mrs. Liu couldn't help turning around and holding her hand, "Huiniang! It's nothing else, it's mainly because of your brother and sister." , I’m really old, and I’m still a princess, so don’t worry about it, you and your sister are still young, and it’s okay to have children a few years later, because your mother and your father are only in their twenties With Gouer, so in our house, there is not so much pressure!"

When Hui Niang heard this, her anxious heart changed instantly. She even stared at her mother-in-law in disbelief. She really didn't expect her mother-in-law to be like this.

"Mother, thank you, thank you!" Hui Niang squatted in front of Mrs. Liu, thanking Mrs. Liu with tears in her eyes.

It's no wonder Hui Niang had such a big reaction, such a generous mother-in-law is really hard to find in the world!
"Silly boy, I am also the daughter-in-law of a human being. Although I have never experienced the hardships involved, I have heard about them and know the hardships involved. Therefore, I sincerely won't embarrass you!" Liu Shi gently patted Huiniang's head and said to her.

This is because Du He is not there. If Du He was there, he would definitely yell, his wife is showing off, because this is a large Versailles scene!

But also because of Liu's generosity, whether it is Du Gou or Du He, the families of the two brothers will live happily in the future.

But no matter what the future holds, at this moment, Du He is struggling to stand in the kitchen, because the kitchen in front of him has not been remodeled, and it is impossible to cook, and even if he temporarily builds a stove , this pot is also a problem.

Faced with such a depressing situation, Du He was really going crazy.

Fortunately, Du He finally found a pot of mutton soup in the kitchen, which caught Du He's attention instantly.

He didn't bring the frying pan, but he brought the copper hot pot. Even if he didn't bring it, he can just find a copper tripod!
It's just that the broth is there, but because the mutton soup is too strong, it's impossible not to deal with it.

So soon, Du He made a major modification to this pot of mutton soup, adding a lot of aniseed ingredients to remove fishy smell and let it cook first.

At first, when the cook in the mansion saw that his second young master put so many herbs into the mutton soup, he was very puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask.

But as time passed, a scent that they had never smelled before came out, which made them anxious, and they all blamed themselves, why didn't the second young master pay attention to the herbs when he put those herbs just now!

But compared to cooks like them, Du He started to run into difficulties again. In his previous life, as a native of Southwest China, no matter what kind of hot pot he eats, spicy hot pot with oil is always standard.

But in this era, he has chili peppers, but there are only so few, it is impossible to use them all, and even if he wanted to, he didn't bring them!
So he was blind again with the dipping material, and in the end he had no choice but to ask the cook in the mansion to get out the dipping material for the fish sticks.

Looking at the dipping sauce at first, Du He didn't think it was very good, but after tasting it, it was salty, fresh and slightly spicy, with a strong fruity taste, and Du He's eyes lit up.

Then he asked the cook in the mansion carefully, and only then did he understand that, in fact, some of the dishes made by this ancient man are really good!
Just like the dipping sauce of this fish meat, the spiciness in it comes from mustard greens, and yellow mustard is made from the root of mustard greens, so the spicy taste is also very positive.

And these dishes, each one eats the original taste of an ingredient, and the emphasis is on a word of freshness.

And on the basis of freshness, it is a variety of flavors that appear in turn, unlike modern people, especially what the middle and low-income people eat, what they eat is the taste of seasoning, and the taste of the ingredients themselves is ignored. Of course There are many reasons for this.

However, from this incident, Du He also understood that in fact, the food eaten in ancient times was not necessarily bad. It is just that people today have different cooking methods from modern people, which made him eat food in ancient times. Well, such thinking is wrong.

After all, without the continuous research and discovery of our ancestors, there would be a grand scene where the eight major cuisines of China would dominate and various local cuisines would flourish.

So it is really important to have a pair of eyes of discovery, just like when Du He first crossed, because he ate all kinds of food and barbecue every day, Du He once thought that the Tang Dynasty didn't even have basic condiments.

But later Du He discovered that there was no bullshit, not only that there was but also that he was very complete. At that time, Du He was a little messy!
