The rich aroma came out, and Yang Ying smelled it, and suddenly felt that his stomach was very empty. He licked his lips, pushed away Du Ping who was busy at the bottom of the stove, grabbed a handful of firewood and stuffed it in.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Thick black smoke billowed up, Qin Feng had just brought down the steamed crabs, saw Yang Ying with a gray face, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Boy, that's not how the fire burns."

Yang Ying didn't speak, but pointed to the stove with an expression of dissatisfaction. In his opinion, Qin Feng's cooking skills were already at his limit, and he would definitely not be able to light a fire.

Anyway, for a young master from a fifth-rank family, being able to cook is enough to make people jaw-dropping, don't even think about anything else.

Qin Feng smiled without saying a word, squatted down, picked up a thick firewood and poked it under the stove, the flames jumped up in an instant, and the black smoke that filled the kitchen disappeared instantly.

"The fire must be hollow, otherwise there will be insufficient oxygen..."

Halfway through the speech, Qin Feng decisively closed his mouth. Who knows what oxygen is these days, and if he talks too much, he is just playing the piano to the cow.

Fortunately, Yang Ying didn't pay attention to Qin Feng's words at all, staring blankly at the blazing flames, her eyes were full of disbelief.

"Du Ping, lower the fire pressure, and the fish soup should be simmered slowly."

Salt, pepper... All the spices in this era, in Qin Feng's hands, fell into the soup one after another. Along with the few fat fish, the aroma that was much richer than steamed crabs immediately enveloped the entire kitchen.

After the fish soup was ready, Qin Feng stopped doing it himself, and the rest was Chunniang's handicraft. Qin Feng clapped his hands and took Yang Ying to the lobby with a satisfied face.

There are guests, so it's not easy for female relatives to go to the hall. Liu Wanting and Wan'er can only eat alone in the side hall.

After the dishes were served, Qin Feng filled a bowl of fish soup himself, picked out a few big crabs and sent them to him before returning to the main hall to prepare for dinner.

Yang Ying's expression was a little weird, Qin Feng knew what he was thinking without thinking about it, so he said with a smile: "The so-called man is not obtained by bullying women, respecting women is also a kind of self-cultivation, Ah Ying, how about you?" Little, don't learn from those rotten scholars, it won't do you any good."

Yang Ying didn't know that this was the first time Qin Feng used a lecture tone to speak about himself today, nor did he know how many times Qin Feng despised scholars, but Qin Feng's words were obviously different from what he had learned before, and after a moment of hesitation, he said: "Brother Ziyu, after all, a woman has to depend on a man. She depends on her father when she is young, her husband after she gets married, and her children when she gets old..."

"nonsense!"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Feng interrupted him without hesitation, and said angrily: "Where did you come from without a woman?"

A hint of anger rose on Yang Ying's face, but Qin Feng didn't give him a chance to get angry, so he continued: "Does the empress know?"

Yang Ying nodded, with a strange expression on her face, but she didn't speak.

Qin Feng said to himself: "The empress of the court is a woman who does not give way to her eyebrows. Without her, whether your majesty can ascend the throne today is another matter. The empress is worse than any man, or do you think that if the empress does not attach herself to her majesty? Can't survive?"

This is not easy to answer. Yang Ying has never seen such a person who talks about the emperor and empress in his life. Is he really not afraid of death?

Qin Feng didn't know what Yang Ying was thinking, but he just said to himself: "The queen is a heroine, let's not mention it for now, just say that in the market, there are many women who can support a family by themselves, why don't they need to rely on men? And live?"

Yang Ying nodded, and thoughtfully said: "Brother Ziyu, you mean that women don't need to rely on men to live, but men need to do this, right?"

"Ruzi can be taught."

Qin Feng nodded and pointed to the dishes on the table: "Taste my cooking."

Yang Ying drank two mouthfuls of the fish soup, which was delicious but without any fishy smell, which fascinated him a little, but looking at the crab Qin Feng gave him, he said helplessly: "Brother Ziyu, how should I eat this thing?"

Qin Feng slapped his head, skillfully peeled off a crab and handed it to Yang Ying, saying: "Try it quickly, this crab roe is very fat, don't waste the crab legs, it's full of meat."

Holding the chopsticks, Yang Ying hesitated for a while, wondering if this food could be eaten, but seeing Qin Feng eating so happily, he gritted his teeth, picked up a piece of crab roe, and put it into his mouth.

The strong fragrance and unprecedented touch immediately made Yang Ying's eyes brighten, and the two old gourmets stopped talking, and swept away the fish soup and crabs on the small case like a storm, leaving only the crab shell of the case .

"The bed and the case are too uncomfortable. I have to order someone to come out with a desk and chair another day."

After eating and drinking, Qin Feng shook his head with a dissatisfied expression.

The hu bed he was talking about was the Mazha of later generations, and the case was a small case handed down from the Han and Wei dynasties. It was very low, almost as high as the hu bed, and it was very uncomfortable to sit and eat.

"Brother Ziyu, what are these tables and chairs?"

"It's just..." Qin Feng couldn't help this curious baby, but he didn't know how to explain it after thinking for a long time, so he said: "Don't worry, I will order someone to build it in a few days and you will know."

After lunch, Yang Ying didn't intend to leave at all, but followed Qin Feng to the study room, and as soon as he entered, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Ziyu, the younger brother came here today to ask for advice."

Qin Feng waved his hand, indifferently said: "You say so."

"The other day I heard from Brother Ziyu that if I could not solve the family's problems during the Sui Dynasty, I would not escape the end of the Han and Jin Dynasties. I would like to ask you today, why?"

Yang Ying's attitude was very respectful, but Qin Feng gritted his teeth. There was no way, this problem was too big.

What he said a few days ago was treasonous enough. If it got out, it would be enough for the children of the aristocratic family to come to the door with a kitchen knife and chop him up. Today Yang Ying asked how to solve the problem of the aristocratic family. This kind of problem is Should he be considered as a common man?

Qin Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said: "I just heard this stuff, you just listen to it, don't believe it, and don't spread it, I won't admit it. "

Yang Ying said solemnly: "Brother Ziyu, don't worry, today's words come out of your mouth and into my ears. If it spreads widely, I, Yang Ying, will definitely..."

"Yes, it's not that serious." Seeing Yang Ying's serious face, ready to swear, Qin Feng quickly interrupted him: "You and I can talk about it casually, you don't need to be so solemn."

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Feng asked: "Do you know why the aristocratic family becomes a persistent disease?"

Yang Ying was a little uncertain: "Do you control your official career?"

This is true. Whether it is the Chaju of the Han Dynasty or the Nine-rank Official Personnel Law of the Jin Dynasty, even the Mingjing Ke, the embryonic form of the current imperial examination, cannot escape the shadow of the aristocratic family.

The examination needs to be recommended by someone who is an official, and the official is a family, not to mention the Ninth Rank Official Law, and it is impossible to be an official without a family. As for the Ming Jing, although it is the embryonic form of the imperial examination, it also requires Only when officials from all over the country come to recommend them can they be qualified to take the exam, which can be regarded as the aristocratic family indirectly monopolizing the qualifications to be an official.

"This is government, what else?"

Yang Ying was stunned, puzzled and said, "What else?"

"Money and food are the most important things."

After finishing speaking, Qin Feng said no more.

He didn't dare to say this anymore, otherwise, if it was spread by Yang Ying, Qin Feng felt that Qinjiazhuang would be surrounded by angry families tomorrow, and then he would tear himself apart.

Chapter 19 What did you say your name was?

It is still the huge study in Daxing City.

Yang Ying's face was extremely solemn, and he asked: "Master Su, the country's subjugation was caused by corrupt officials in every dynasty, but why did Qin Ziyu say that money and food are the most important things?"

There was a wry smile on Master Su's face, and he sighed: "This kid is really ruthless..."

"Other than controlling the method of being an official, what else do the aristocratic families have? Endless money and food."

"Did the tens of millions of people in the Sui Dynasty really lack money and food? But why does His Majesty set an example and advocate frugality?"

"This..." Yang Ying was stunned, pondered for a moment and said: "South Chen is a land of prosperity, while Great Sui is vast but barren..."

"wrong."
