This is not the Datang I am familiar with

"Meiniang wants to stay, just stay!"

Chapter 309 Qishan Zongzi Noodles

Chen Fang left, but happened to meet Qin Huaidao who was leading people to patrol the workshop, and then asked Qin Huaidao if he knew any powerful people who led troops, but Chen Fang was not satisfied with the answer.

Most of the powerful ones are already in important positions in the twelve guards, but it is difficult for such people to be transferred to Tang Gongfang.

To be honest, Chen Fang didn't plan to use this kind of person. The person Chen Fang wanted to find was good at leading troops, but he couldn't be reused. That's the best.

Once this kind of person uses Chen Fang, he will generally feel grateful and feel a sense of gratitude.If the other party has been reused by the court, and Chen Fang asks His Majesty to transfer him to the Tang Workshop, this feeling will disappear.

There was no good candidate at this time, so Chen Fang had no choice but to give up, but now he had to figure out how to find a leader for the Ziwuling branch, mainly for daily drills.

This matter is not in a hurry, after all, there is still land reclamation over there, and it is still too early for the guards to become an army.If you really can't find it at that time, you will ask His Majesty for someone again.

At this time, when we returned to the courtyard, we called Dingyu to prepare dinner for His Majesty and his party.

For the sweet soup, Chen Fang still prepares egg flower and corn soup, choosing the tenderest corn kernels. The princesses and princes liked it last time, but there is no need to change it.

The staple food is a bit difficult, so I will go to a blacksmith tomorrow to make the bed, but this thing is not difficult to make. With the current level of craftsmanship in the Tang Dynasty, there is no problem at all.

At this time, it is natural that the noodles cannot be made. Seeing Dingyu preparing flour and kneading the noodles, Chen Fang thought about it and decided to eat noodles tonight, make noodle soup at night, and make noodles.

In fact, there is the most famous kind of glutinous rice noodle in Guanzhong in later generations, Qishan glutinous rice noodles. It is said that the earliest origin was in the Zhou Dynasty, but the specifics cannot be verified. The main reason is that the later generations are far-fetched. amazing.

In fact, there is a saying that this Qishan saozi noodle originated in the Tang Dynasty, but it happened to be about the same time as this time.

Chen Fang has been in the Tang Dynasty for more than half a year, but he has never heard of the Qishan saozi noodles here. It probably originated in the Tang Dynasty and evolved from the Tang Dynasty Shoumen.

Forget it, I made it directly, so let this statement be true. As for your majesty's question, just say that I learned it from Qishan, and it will not break the inheritance of a classic food classic for future generations.

It is not difficult to make Qishan Zongzi noodles, and its characteristics can be summed up as white, thin and smooth, oily, sour and spicy.

At this time, Dingyu was rolling the noodles, and several maids were helping in the kitchen, and the scene was lively.Adding firewood and fire, washing and chopping vegetables, these maids are all at their fingertips at this time.

Chen Fang still remembered that when she first met Tao Hong, the girl didn't know how to make fire at all, but now she was also very good at burning.

Diced pork, prepared fungus, potatoes, carrots, eggs and other ingredients.Chili and vinegar are indispensable for this bowl of saozi noodles, so choose the right ones.

After a while, the diced meat was fried, and the courtyard was full of fragrance. Yiyang looked into the kitchen, and Chen Fang hurriedly told her to wait outside.

Chen Fang didn't want Yiyang to enter the kitchen, the smoke was too heavy.

Ready here, I went to ask His Majesty where to eat.

After a while, His Majesty brought the two princesses to come. Chen Fang took a look at An Ding, but An Ding was not in a good mood at this time. He seemed to have just woken up, and his eyes were a little sleepy.

Standing with Wu Meiniang at this time, An Ding looked very much like Wu Meiniang. In a few years, even Chen Fang, who was born and lost, would not dare to take a closer look.

Seeing An Ding's distressed appearance at this moment, Chen Fang glanced at Taiping, they were both His Highness, and it seemed that An Ding would be exhausted with His Highness.

At this time, the noodle has been poured with simmered rice, and several maids brought it up, and prepared some side dishes, but the soup specially ordered by the empress could not be less.

Seeing the egg flower and corn soup, Taiping didn't even look at it, and asked for soup directly.Chen Fang filled a bowl for her, and after Taiping finished drinking, he handed the bowl to Chen Fang.

Children love sweets, which is a matter of course, because people are most sensitive to the five flavors, but sweetness at first.The older you get, the less sweetness you get.

Of course, there are also people who like sweets all their lives, such as Chen Fang, who likes money.

Seeing that Taiping still wanted soup, Wu Meiniang smiled and put away the Taiping soup bowl and let her eat noodles. Taiping was not happy and picked some noodles with chopsticks. The son bit and ate.

After taking a few mouthfuls, he smiled happily and told Chen Fang that it was delicious.

Your Majesty over there has already finished the first bowl and handed over the bowl. This is the second bowl.

The sour soup is appetizing, and the simmered noodles are more soup than noodles. Your Majesty actually ate three bowls alone.

Yiyang didn't eat less there, and An Ding wanted to eat the third bowl, but after looking at his father and mother, he put down the second bowl after finishing the second bowl.

He served soup, but drank two bowls.Then add vegetables to eat, this dish is also very delicious.When Chen Fang was not in the workshop, he couldn't eat such delicious dishes.

After a meal, the soup bowl was already empty, and there were a lot of noodles prepared, but there was a lot left. After His Majesty and Empress took the two princesses away, Taohong and the others mixed the leftover noodles with glutinous rice flour and ate them.

Originally, if His Majesty was not here, in fact, the girls usually ate with the princess consort.Of course, His Majesty is here, so the rules must be tightened.

Eating together is breaking the rules.

There was nothing to say in the evening, and the next day Chen Fang went to the palace early, where the Fifth Supervisor was in charge of the Metallurgical Department, where he was in charge of making jade and metal wares.Chen Fang naturally found the officials of the Shaofu Supervisor.

At this moment, the son-in-law came in person, and all the officials of the Shaofu Supervisor naturally rushed to meet him.

Let the officials of the Shaofu Supervisor take it to the Zhangye Office. Chen Fang asked for brushes and ink, and drew the general appearance of the bed. In fact, the bed is simple in structure, mainly using the principle of simple levers to squeeze the dough from Reserve small holes to squeeze the dough into long and thin cylindrical noodles, which are commonly known as luoluo.

At this time, when drawing drawings, I feel that it is extremely inconvenient to use a brush, but there is no good brush to use, so I only have a brush at this time.

When the Luoluo bed is made, the Luoluo can be pressed.This is a classic of pasta in later generations, especially in the north.

After seeing the graphics drawn by Chen Fang, the officials of the Control Bureau felt that it was not difficult to make them.

Chen Fang said that someone would come to pick it up in two days, and the officials here naturally said that it would be done by then, and they would just send it to the workshop, so how could they bother the son-in-law to send someone to pick it up.

This is a trivial matter, and Chen Fang did not compromise with the officials of the Shaofu Supervisor.

After leaving, Chen Fang wanted to go back the same way, but he saw several beauties in the palace passing by. Seeing their figures, especially their upper body figures, he suddenly remembered what he had thought about in Ziwuling branch.

The corsets of his own maids are not a big deal to Chen Fang at this time. After all, Tao Hong is by his side all day long.

As for mopping, of course, the less you wear, the more comfortable you will be.

At this moment, I strolled to the Clothing Bureau, Caiyi was busy, there was a lot of demand for clothes in the palace recently, and the Clothing Bureau was operating at full capacity.

Chapter 310 Peace and Sweet Rice

Seeing that it was the son-in-law who came, Shang Yi Caiyi hurriedly put aside his work and paid a visit to Chen Fang.

Chen Fang told her not to be too polite, and Caiyi kept the rest of the Shangyi Bureau busy, so he brought his son-in-law to the cloth storage room.

At this time, there was no one here, as soon as he came in, Caiyi threw himself into Chen Fang's arms, Chen Fang was helpless, he had to ask for help, so he couldn't push Caiyi away at this time.

At this moment, he hugged her, looked at her fair neck, and wrapped his hands around that soft waist.

"The son-in-law has been here for a long time, but Caiyi is thinking too hard. The son-in-law touches Caiyi's heart, but it is all the shadow of the son-in-law."

As Caiyi spoke, she took Chen Fang's hand, which was not something she could do on her own initiative.

Chen Fang comforted her for a while, and then loosened Caiyi's body. Looking at this beautiful lady, she was slightly out of breath, and her face was slightly red. She only looked at Chen Fang, her eyes were full of liking.

"I came here today to see you, but I want you to do me a favor!"

"Even if the son-in-law said, as long as he can help the son-in-law, Caiyi will be happy in his heart."

Chen Fang sighed in his heart, it was all the fault of his own words, and he had to bear it no matter what at this time.

"Make me some corsets!"

"Caiyi dare to ask who is it made for, what size is it, and what material do you want?"

Chen Fang reported the measurements to Caiyi one by one, but Caiyi looked at Chen Fang in surprise, the woman remembered the measurements so familiarly, but there was only one possibility, the son-in-law measured it himself.

"I made it for a few of my maids. I came to see you busy today. If you are busy, you can wait a little longer to make it. I am not in a hurry. As for the material, you are an expert. I only want it to feel good."

Caiyi chuckled and looked at Chen Fang.

"My son-in-law, then the feel of my hand is still satisfactory to my son-in-law."

"Very good, let me know when it's done, and I'll pick it up!"

Originally Caiyi wanted to say that someone would send it directly, but when he heard the son-in-law said that he would pick it up by himself, he immediately swallowed the words.

The son-in-law is here, and I can get closer to the son-in-law again.

"I'm leaving first. There's a lot of work in the workshop. Remember, I'm not busy there. I'll keep busy with the work in the palace first."

"In Caiyi's place, the order of the son-in-law is the most important!"

After hearing Caiyi's words, Chen Fang stroked that cheek.

"Listen to me, I'm in no hurry!"

After speaking, Chen Fang left the cloth warehouse and walked outside.

Caiyi looked at him from behind, and only slowly closed his eyes when he couldn't see him.

After leaving the Tai Chi Palace, Chen Fang hurried back to the workshop, but it was almost noon at this time, and His Majesty was still in the workshop, busy with other things.

Running in and out of the kitchen, the only consolation Chen Fang could give himself was that this was cooking for his wife, and His Majesty's work was all incidental.

He was busy at this time, but someone pulled him behind him, but he couldn't see anyone when he turned his head, and only saw Taiping when he lowered his head.

"Your Highness, why did you run away here, go out and play, the smell of fireworks is strong!"

"Chen Fang, I'm hungry, what's delicious, I'll eat some first!"

Chen Fang smiled wryly, and took a small bowl from the side. There was a dessert specially made for the two princesses over there, but it was ordered to be prepared earlier.

This dessert is similar to the eight-treasure rice sweet rice of later generations, and more similar to zeng cake. It is made of high-quality glutinous rice as the main ingredient, mixed with red dates, candied dates, and various beans, and steamed.

At this time, he dug out a small bowl and gave Taiping bamboo chopsticks, so Taiping ran out with the small bowl in his arms.

As soon as he went out, he sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, picked a piece with bamboo chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Glutinous rice is soft and sweet, but it is the most popular among children.

Taiping smiled happily, seeing Yiyang coming over.

"Taiping, what are you eating?"

"Elder Sister, I just asked Chen Fang for it, you have a taste, it's delicious!"

Taiping took a piece, it was a bit big, and picked some with bamboo chopsticks, only took a small piece, Yiyang tasted it, it was really delicious.

"Elder Sister eat another piece!"

"If you don't give it to me, if Elder Sister eats it again, I'll eat it up!"

Taiping took the bowl and chopsticks and ran away, Yiyang looked at her.

"Be careful, don't fall!"

At noon, when the plate of sweet glutinous rice was served, Taiping put it in front of him.

"Peace!"

"Mother!"

"rule!"

Taiping felt aggrieved and pushed back.

Li Zhi caressed his little daughter's bun, took it out again, and put it in front of Taiping.

Taiping was happy and said thank you, Father, and took the bowl to pick from his own.

"Father, try it, Chen Fang's cooking is delicious!"

"Peace!"

"Mother!"

"Why do you keep calling me the consort's name?"

"Okay, Mei Niang, Taiping is still young!"

"It's my eighth birthday soon!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's the minister who asked the little highness to call you so, so that it seems that the minister and the little highness are close!"

Chen Fang hurriedly said, there Taiping stretched out his hand, hugged Chen Fang's neck, and kissed him sweetly.

Li Zhi pulled Taiping back, and Taiping sat down properly, and continued to pick a bowl of sweet rice.

After lunch, both Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi were stuffed. Chen Fang was fine with everything, but it was easy to get stuffed.

Taiping over there was so hungry that he didn't want to move, and lay in Li Zhi's arms and didn't want to move.

It's rare that His Royal Highness is quiet, but it's thanks to that sweet rice.

The maid cleaned up the tableware. Originally, Chen Fang Yiyang was about to resign, but Li Zhi kept him.

"Accompany Father for a walk!"

Chen Fang was helpless, but Yi Yang happily agreed.In the past, the father seldom let her accompany him, so he married Chen Fang, but this kind of thing happened more and more.

His Majesty rested for a while, and got up at this time, Chen Fang and Yi Yang hurriedly accompanied, but the sun was still shining outside, so Chen Fang took a look.
