This is not the Datang I am familiar with

At that time, how the workshop will operate and where to recruit workers is a problem.

From the people, from the palace, from the army, or from...

Meng Fei, Ye Ting Palace, family members of eunuchs and criminal officials.

At this time, Chen Fang suddenly thought of Meng Fei and her identity. At this time, an idea gradually popped up in his mind, which was bold and unrealistic.

In the second half of the night, after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Fang fell asleep again when the cock crowed.

The morning light in the east is slightly dew, and heavy snow has already filled the palace outside. In the era without alarm clocks, waking up depends on one's own biological clock.

Chen Fang stretched his waist, went through the things he thought about last night in his mind again, and felt that it was feasible.

After putting it on, I picked up the oil-paper umbrella in the corner, a branch of peach blossom bloomed above my head, and the snow fell on the surface of the oil-paper umbrella, making a slight sound.

Before reaching Shangshi Bureau, Chen Fang was stopped by someone, but saw Xiren smiling at him.

Could it be Li Hong looking for him again?What's the matter this time, maybe I want another hundred candied haws.

Xiren came, also holding an oil-paper umbrella, but the umbrella was covered with a few bamboos, presumably because Li Hong likes bamboo.The last time Chen Fang went to the East Palace, he saw that there were many bamboo forests in the East Palace.

"Xi Ren, is His Royal Highness looking for me?"

"There are some things. Originally, His Highness wanted to come in person, but it snowed last night, and I felt the wind and cold, so I can only ask Xiren to come to you!"

"Is the prince sick?"

"His Highness has always been in poor health. When the weather suddenly changes, he always feels slightly ill!"

After hearing Xiren's words, Chen Fang realized that Li Hong was really weak, which was consistent with the original historical records.He is as weak and sick as his father, Emperor Li Zhi.

"Did you call the doctor?"

"Your Majesty has ordered people from the Imperial Medical Office to go see it!"

"Mutton warms the stomach, let His Highness eat more mutton in winter!"

"It's just that the ones made by the East Palace are too bad, not as delicious as those made by the Shangshi Bureau!"

After Xiren finished speaking, he sighed.

It seems that Li Hong has a heart for this court lady. He probably cooks for her a lot on weekdays. Maybe Li Hong will eat whatever Li Hong eats.

Otherwise, Xiren wouldn't say that Donggong's cooking is too bad, and it's not as delicious as Shangshiju's cooking.

"I'll ask the Shangshi Bureau to make some things later, and I'll trouble Miss Xiren to bring it back to the East Palace!"

When Xiren heard this, some smiles appeared on his originally sad face.This court lady is indeed pretty, no wonder Li Hong likes it.

"It's not troublesome, then I'll wait at the Shangshi Bureau. It's just that I'm going to have Mr. Lao again!"

"It's my job to take care of the nobles in the palace!"

"Xi Ren almost forgot, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specially asked me to bring this to Your Excellency!"

At this time, Xiren quickly took a small bag, which was made of high-quality silk material, and handed it to Chen Fang.

Chen Fang took it lightly, it wasn't a small gold ingot, Chen Fang was a little disappointed.

"Your Highness said this time thanks to your lord!"

"What do you mean?"

"Yesterday, His Highness the Crown Prince went down to greet the Empress. His Highness was very happy when he came back, and kept saying this. Even though he was sick on the bed this morning, he urged the attacker to give this thing to Your Excellency!"

Chen Fang already understood that he used the name of the prince to send warmth to the workers on the construction site, and Wu Meiniang praised the prince, so this happened at this time.

What is in this silk bag, Chen Fang is a little itchy.The prince made a special trip to ask Xiren to bring it to himself, it must not be something worthless!

"Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"

Chen Fang untied the tether, and there were more than a dozen round beads lying in the bag, which turned out to be pearls.

In this era, this is definitely a good thing. These pearls are extraordinary at first glance. Each pearl is extremely round and the size of the belly of a little finger.

According to the market price of Datang, it is definitely much more precious than small gold dollars.

Chen Fang's disappointment just now has long since disappeared, and His Royal Highness is still open-minded, and this reward is openness.

"I would like to trouble Xiren to thank His Highness for the reward on my behalf!"

People are refreshed on happy occasions, and the spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease.Putting the silk bag into his bosom at this moment, Chen Fang felt that he could walk briskly.

Xiren followed Chen Fang to Shangshi Bureau. Xiren wanted to wait outside, but Chen Fang gave Yinye a wink, and Yinye pulled Xiren into Shangshi Bureau.

Chen Fang is in charge of everything in this food bureau, whether he can enter or not is only a matter of Chen Fang's words.

It's still snowing outside, how can I let the Xiren who brought me a reward blow the cold wind outside!

"Yinye, is the mutton soup I told you last night ready?"

"My lord, it's all boiled according to your instructions! The mutton has also been cut, and the fat and thin are made according to your instructions. The noodle cakes you want are also ready!"

At this time, Chen Fang asked someone to prepare some new vermicelli made by Shangshi Bureau. This thing has a name in the peninsula, which is Tang noodles, which shows its origin.

The fans of Shangshiju are made of mung beans, which are of excellent quality.

Chen Fang asked someone to prepare some dried day lily, diced green onion, sugared garlic, and a small dish of chili sauce, which Chen Fang asked to prepare in advance.

At this time, the broth in the pot is still boiling, and the cut buns are poured into the broth, and the blanched vermicelli and dried cauliflower are added to it, and finely minced green onions are sprinkled in the clear oily soup. .

A scent drifted away at this time, and gradually became stronger, and people couldn't help but smell it a few more times.

This is an authentic Shaanxi delicacy, mutton steamed buns, but this era has not yet, Chen Fang brought it to Taiji Palace and Chang'an.

Chapter 81 Want to learn?

Chen Fang made a lot on purpose, serving the steaming steamed buns in a clay pot with a lid, with the prepared sugar garlic and chili sauce on the side.

Two empty tribute white porcelain peony-patterned bowls are placed nearby.The temperature is low in winter, and the food box is specially made with a thermal insulation compartment.

Handing the food box to Xiren, Chen Fang told Xiren to take it back to the East Palace as soon as possible, and be careful of snow and slippery roads.

After the attacker left, Chen Fang took out the silk bag again. There were more than a dozen pearls in it!

At this moment, hold one in front of your eyes, the more you look at it, the more happy you are, and the more you look at it, the more beautiful it is.

It really is a good thing, the prince really has a heart.

Chen Fang counted carefully twice, there are sixteen in total.

When it was time for lunch, Xiren came to Shangshi Bureau again and returned the food box.Xiren looked at Chen Fang, hesitant to speak!

"Does His Royal Highness like it?"

"Your Highness asked, can I still eat it often in the future?"

"Naturally, let the cook from the Eastern Palace come to the Shangshi Bureau another day. I'll teach her how to make it, so you won't have to run back and forth! It's cold outside. And if you cook it yourself in the Eastern Palace, the steamed buns will taste even better!"

After Xiren left, Yinye looked at Chen Fang with grievances in her eyes.

"Think I don't teach you?"

Seeing Yin Ye's appearance, how could Chen Fang not know her thoughts, Chen Fang couldn't help but smile, this one is jealous, of course, not that kind of jealousy.

"I've been watching me cook these days, didn't I learn something? Actually, it's not difficult!"

Yinye seemed to understand Chen Fang's words, but also didn't seem to understand.

Chen Fang flicked her forehead with his finger, and went to do other things.Yinye blushed and looked at Chen Fang, but at this moment she really wanted to pay attention to every action of Chen Fang's cooking, the order and amount of every seasoning added.

"Can you write?"

Knowing that Yinye was looking at him, Chen Fang asked suddenly.

Yinye shook her head, only to remember that she was behind Mr. Chen at this time, and he couldn't see it.

"Silver Leaf won't!"

"Want to learn?"

"Yinye is stupid, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it. It's useless for us girls to learn that!"

In this era, women basically did not learn to write and read, the Imperial College did not accept female students, and there were no women to participate in the imperial examination.

The female number one scholar in the novel can only be in the novel.

Of course, there is no shortage of talented women in this era, and there are always some women who are very strong, just like the one who lives in Ganlu Palace at this time, who will insist on bowing his head in the future.

"Learning always pays off!"

"Adults teach me to learn!"

Yinye seemed to think of something, and looked at Chen Fang at this moment, her cheeks turned redder.Chen Fang turned around and pinched her rosy cheeks with his thumb and index finger.

Girls' faces are easy to pinch.

The steamed mutton buns were actually prepared for the empress's lunch, and Chen Fang reciprocated when the raider came in the morning and asked her to take them back to the East Palace.

At this time, in the Ganlu Palace, the same delicacy was placed in front of the queen and several princes and princesses.

Without hesitation, Taiping ate with a spoon. Li Xian took the chopsticks and wrapped the fans around the chopsticks a few times. The other two smaller princes imitated Li Xian's movements.

Princess Anding ate very slowly at first, and gradually it became difficult to maintain her princess demeanor.At this time, the chopsticks held a slice of appropriate thickness, and the mutton soaked in soup was eaten with relish.

Wu Meiniang ate the slowest, the steamed bun was scooped up by the white porcelain spoon, and gently sent into her jade mouth.

"Chen Fang, today's lunch is quite innovative and delicious!"

"The empress likes it, so I can rest assured!"

"Don't forget the East Palace and the Emperor!"

This is almost every time Wu Meiniang thinks that the food is delicious, she will tell Chen Fang that the crown prince lives in the East Palace, and the emperor lives in Daming Palace.

"I have already sent someone to tell Shangshi how to do it, and someone has already taken it from the East Palace! Presumably Shangshi has already prepared this thing for the emperor."

Wu Meiniang nodded, very satisfied.

After lunch, several princes and princesses in Ganlu Hall left, and the old maid appeared in Ganlu Hall again.

"How is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty's dragon body is stable, but it still needs to be recuperated quietly. Your Majesty, don't worry too much."

"You know that I just don't trust Your Majesty. It would be great if I could cure this disease for Your Majesty!"

Wu Meiniang sighed, these days, Wu Meiniang would go to the Foguang Temple in the palace to pray for Li Zhi every day, and would like to sacrifice her own life in exchange for Li Zhilong's health.

"Your Majesty, I have changed all the maids in Your Majesty's bedroom according to your Majesty's wishes. I have replaced some old maids. Every old slave has carefully checked."

"I heard from the eunuch in the bedroom that a maid named Bi'er was alone with His Majesty a few days ago!"

"killed!"

"Yes!"

"One more thing. The batch of cotton-padded clothes and quilts sent to the construction site of the Tang Workshop yesterday by the Crown Prince was actually sent by Mr. Chen!"

"Are you sure about this?"

"It was Xiren who told this old slave, it is absolutely true!"

Wu Meiniang rubbed her forehead and waved her hand!

"Old slave quit!"

"Hong'er, how can you trust a court lady so easily. You are destined to be an emperor in the future, so how can you be so trusting to others? What if she is not from the Queen Mother!"

Wu Meiniang sighed, her son is good at everything, but...

Then Wu Meiniang's brows widened, thinking of Chen Fang, the official she wanted from Honglu Temple, Wu Meiniang liked it more and more.

Originally, Wu Meiniang brought Chen Fang into the palace for a moment of joy, but she never thought that Chen Fang had brought her so many surprises, and now she really couldn't do without him.

It seems that it is always good for Hong'er and Chen Fang to get along more, as Chen Fang is thoughtful no matter what he does.

Thinking of Chen Fang at this time, Wu Meiniang felt a throbbing in her heart unknowingly, it was a throbbing belonging to a woman, but it was quickly suppressed by Wu Meiniang.

What she cared about was still Li Zhi and Tang Huang.In her heart, no one can take Li Zhi's place, neither before nor in the future.

The days passed briskly, and it was already the end of the year. According to the usual practice, the end of the year was busy again, especially Shangshi Bureau.

On this day, Chen Fang finally came to the construction site of Tang Workshop. At this time, all the foundations had been dug, and the laborers were consolidating the foundation.These days, this is Chen Fang's second visit. It's really busy these days, and the last time I came here, Chen Fang definitely didn't feel good.

Seeing that the laborers everywhere were wearing winter clothes, Chen Fang let out a sigh of relief.The supervisors everywhere will not easily whip these Xingtu farmers at this time, and the majesty of the prince is still effective.
