Good Life in Qin Dynasty

After Gao Zhanshi got the reminder, he hurried back to Xianyang City with his things.

The spring plowing at home has just been done in the past few days, so Li Jiyang took his people to Xianyang City again, and he has to go to Xianyang City to find a good gentleman to come back.

But I don't know if it was bad luck. On the second day when I came to Xianyang City, Yang Feiying came to the door.

When Li Jiyang heard Li Fu report that Yang Feiying had come, he almost froze!

"Why didn't Young Master Li say hello when he came?" Yang Feiying was very familiar, and greeted Li Jiyang as soon as he entered the door. Li Jiyang curled his lips inwardly, this Xianyang City is not your home, and he still wants to say hello to you when he comes to Xianyang City?

Of course, Li Jiyang didn't have Xiaobai to say that to him, he just smiled: "After finishing the farm work at home, I came here to buy some supplies and go back. How did you know I'm here?"

It's amazing, in this Warring States period without any communication equipment, he only found an inn to check in here, and he came to visit there!

In terms of a heart-to-heart, Li Jiyang would rather have a heart-to-heart with that beautiful Zhao Ji than a man like Yang Feiying.

This is what Li Jiyang was thinking at this time!

Thinking about it later, he even told Ying Zheng once, but of course the narrow-minded Ying Zheng had nothing to do with his wife, but he got Yang Feiying to be an official in the most remote area, nothing earth-shattering in this life Achievement, [-]% will not be able to return to Xianyang City.

"I have someone I know at the gate of the city. He has seen you!" Yang Feiying smiled. In fact, he sent someone to guard the gate. He met Li Jiyang and his group, and then stayed in the suburbs every day. Waiting for news from Li Jiyang and the others, as soon as they show up, he will be notified immediately.

Last time, he wasted several days for no reason, and he was so annoyed!

Especially when he knew about Gao Zhanshi, he originally wanted to act as a bridge between Mrs. Zhao Ji and the eldest son and Young Master Li Jiyang, but Gao Zhanshi took the lead, and Gao Zhanshi was very good at life. His hometown is in the outskirts of Xianyang City, it is convenient to go out and come in, and the reason is very good, and it is a matter of the king's consent.

Mrs. Lu has been very dissatisfied these days, because Mrs. Zhao Ji did not seem to intend to let the eldest son contact Lu Xiangbang. In a fit of anger, Lu Xiangbang wanted to teach Mrs. Zhao Ji a lesson, and let her know that in the palace, there is no one from the previous court to help. It was difficult to gain a foothold, and the pearl bracelet just fell into the hands of Young Master Cheng Jiao.

In the end, Mrs. Zhao Ji taught Mrs. Wang Jiao a lesson instead!

At the spring banquet, Mrs. Wang Jiao was disgraced, and Mrs. Zhao Ji won the attention of the audience. The king went to Mrs. Zhao Ji's bedroom to rest for several days.

Mrs. Zhao Ji's favor was unrivaled in the harem for a while.

This is not a big deal, in the next few days, the maidservants that Mrs. Zhao Ji served personally wore a pearl bracelet, saying that it was a gift from Mrs. Zhao Ji, and that they were thoughtful in serving them!

There is no woman in the palace who does not want to join Mrs. Zhao Ji!

This embarrassing Mrs. Wang Jiao no longer dared to leave the gate of the bedroom!

When Lu Buwei found out that he had used the wrong method, it was already too late!

He had no choice but to make amends, but the harem was not a place he could enter casually, and Lei Zichu was not dead yet!

Therefore, Yang Feiying was useful, and was sent out to win over Li Jiyang, and Lu Buwei was also very curious, how could such a small person like Li Jiyang have so many good things for Zhao Ji?

"Oh, so that's the case!" Li Jiyang pretended to suddenly realize, and said in his heart that I will believe what you said, I am the pig that was castrated at home!

Both of them were pretending to be confused.

"This time I can stay for two more days, there are so many interesting places in Xianyang City!" Yang Feiying chatted with Li Jiyang with a smile, as if they had a good relationship.

"That's for sure. I heard that there are still many spice shops? The ones I brought back last time are almost eaten."

Li Jiyang still has a lot of things on his mind!

After bringing back the condiments last time, he didn't use them to light the lamp at all, and took them all to the kitchen!

Since then, the cooking skills of the aunts in the Lijiazhuang kitchen have skyrocketed!

The taste of various dishes has improved more than a little. Everyone thinks that the meat is more fragrant, and even the pickles are delicious!

Isn't that nonsense!

Li Jiyang specially asked people to boil the seasoning into soup, soaked the shredded pickles in it, took it out and put it on a plate when eating, how could it not be delicious for people who are used to bitter tastes!

"Of course, there is a street in the east gate, which is full of spice shops!" Yang Feiying introduced to Li Jiyang.

The east gate is indeed a spice street, but the people who go there to buy things are the nobles, because only they can afford those expensive spices.

Ordinary people can't buy spices that cost hundreds of gold, let alone order them with such expensive spices.

So apart from the big nobles, only a few retainers know about that place, and no one else, even small officials, know about it!

"That's good!" It's okay to lead the way, and Li Jiyang can't really drive people away, they are all here, and Yang Feiying is nothing, but Lu Buwei behind him can't be provoked, and he can't be provoked for the time being .

Li Jiyang agreed, Yang Feiying also breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know what Master Lu was thinking, her frequent shots always failed, the relationship with the eldest son of the palace was a bit stiff instead of getting close.

This time, Li Jiyang brought his home-made cured lamb. He used many seasonings and pepper to remove the fishy smell. The taste is super good!

And it's spring, and there are wild vegetables sold in Xianyang City. Li Jiyang asked people to buy fresh wild vegetables every day, and he kept some green vegetables for food to add some vitamins.

Yang Feiying came early the next morning. He came after eating, but when he saw what Li Jiyang ate, he felt a little awkward.

Because Li Jiyang ate rice porridge, yellow steamed buns, salted duck eggs, pickles, and blanched wild vegetables according to his own taste.

No matter how delicately it is made, no matter how beautifully it is served on a plate, it is something that inferior people eat, but Li Jiyang eats it with great relish!

After he had finished his breakfast, washed up, and changed his clothes, he and Yang Feiying left the inn's courtyard.

Li Fu and the others had to follow the young master, and Yang Feiying also had two regular followers. These were the regular followers assigned to him by Lu Xiangbang recently.

Along the way, Yang Feiying kept his mouth open and introduced Xianyang City very professionally, and he was able to tell one, two, three about the shops on the street, no matter what they sold, he could tell something!

This made Li Jiyang have to admire Yang Feiying, even though she was a pervert, she was quite sharp-tongued, because Yang Feiying was by his side, Li Jiyang had a thorough understanding of Xianyang.

Qin was not born well, and started later than other vassal states, so Xianyang, the capital of Qin, paid attention to grandeur and practicality, just like Qin people.

When we got to East Street, there was indeed a street where spices were traded, because you could smell the mixture of various spices when you stood at the intersection.

Li Jiyang followed Yang Feiying in, the first one was very big and had a lot of spices, so Li Jiyang stopped to look, and there was a red-robed peppercorn from Sichuan!

I have always used the green peppercorns at home, but there is really no red one!

Li Jiyang bought three catties in one go!

This thing should taste good when boiled beef and mutton!

Yang Feiying didn't expect that Li Jiyang would go shopping so quickly, and he planned to take him to have a look inside. It is said that there are spices brought from outside the pass.

"There are good things inside, you buy it now...?" Yang Feiying secretly pulled Li Jiyang, not daring to say it out loud, because it would offend others!

Who can open a shop here without a backer behind him!

Those with insufficient status can't suppress the competitors in this place.

"If you see a good one, of course you have to buy it. It's better to act first, and then you will suffer!" Li Jiyang said casually, his eyes fixed on Dahongpao's pepper.

This is from the authentic Sichuan and Sichuan, and it is three points more fragrant than the mass-planted ones of later generations!

After packing it up, I handed it to Li Fu to carry. When I turned around, I found that Yang Feiying's eyes were straightened when he looked at him!

"What are you doing?" Although Li Jiyang was small, he still had some strength, so he patted Yang Feiying on the shoulder vigorously.

"Ah?" Yang Feiying was snapped back to her senses: "No, I just thought about what Young Master Li said, it's too...too...too interesting!"

"What are you talking about?" Li Jiyang was still puzzled after hearing this.

Why didn't he know what he said that made him, Lu Buwei's disciple, astonished?

"It's better to strike first, and then to suffer disaster." The more Yang Feiying thought about it, the more she felt that this sentence was absolutely true!

Li Jiyang choked, embarrassed to tell him that this was not his first creation!

"Okay, okay, let's continue down!" Li Jiyang hurried to the second spice shop.

Yang Feiying felt that Li Jiyang was getting more and more mysterious. He had a long-term vision at such a young age, and his words were very connotative.

If Xiangbang can get this person, he can also help him a lot.

The second shop, Li Jiyang, didn't buy anything because he still had some seasonings at home, so he wanted to take another walk and have a look.

The third shop is also a big shop with complete materials. Li Jiyang also saw things like bean sprouts and even cinnamon bark in this shop!

Seeing Li Jiyang touching something, Yang Feiying immediately introduced: "This Yinxiang looks good, it should be top-grade, a spice from Chu State."

Yinxiang is the name of cinnamon at the end of the Warring States period. Because cinnamon can produce a strong aroma when burned, it is one of the burning incense. There is also cinnamon as a seasoning, and some imperial doctors use cinnamon as a medicinal material, so the price is even higher. higher.

"Not bad!" Li Jiyang waved his hand, "Give me ten catties!"

Cinnamon is good, warms the spleen and stomach, dispels wind and cold, and unblocks the blood vessels.Control abdominal cold and fullness in the chest, vomiting and choking diaphragm, rheumatic arthralgia, bruising and stagnation, bloody dysentery and intestinal wind.

He can remember this because the buddy who slept with him made him a Chinese medicine decoction when he had diarrhea. At that time, he didn't know what happened to him. He took all kinds of antidiarrheal medicines but it didn't work, so he went to the hospital. It was just a bottle, and he was almost dehydrated. The buddy gave him three soups, the most flavorful of which was cinnamon, and then lied to the doctor of Western medicine that it was black chicken soup.

In fact, it is a traditional Chinese medicine soup. After drinking it three times, he will be fine, so he will remember the cinnamon!

There are others, cloves and nutmeg, and grass bandits are also remembered!

But he bought some of everything he knew that could be used as seasoning or medicinal materials. Chunya came out this time to learn to be smart. She made a money box for a strong person to carry, and it contained a lot of money. Jin still has a lot of won money, and she herself is carrying a big burden of cloth coins.

Everyone in Lijiazhuang knows that the young master doesn't like cloth coins.

As long as there are cloth coins at home, they must be spent quickly!

Yang Feiying didn't expect Li Jiyang to shop like this!

Even if the spices are bought by the big nobles, they only come in one catty or two catties, because after a long time, the fragrance will fade, but Li Jiyang said this, ten catties!

"Is it too much?" Yang Feiying thought, the last time I saw the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, he seemed to have bought five catties of spices.

"Not much, not much!" Li Jiyang's eyes wandered, he didn't think about anything else, he just wanted to mix the five spices.

The five spices are: star anise, cinnamon, clove, pepper, amomum.

At present, there is no star anise, because it is the seasoning of the Western Regions obtained after the Silk Road, but the other four are available!

Li Jiyang wanted to replace the star anise with some others.

Originally, cumin should be the most suitable substitute, but cumin is native to the Mediterranean area, Anyuan County, Xinjiang, and it was introduced to the Central Plains from the Han Dynasty, and now even the Qin Empire has not yet been established!
