Daily life of the imperial mausoleum

Putting the picked fresh fungus to dry on a stone sculpture that looked like a table, Xia Xiaoqiao hurried to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables to prepare dinner for two. It has to be light.

"Um, Your Majesty, that, that seems to be an altar for you?" Seeing Xia Xiaoqiao majesticly throwing a bunch of sticky fresh fungus on the new altar prepared for the late emperor, the yellow dog The old man's face twitched, and he looked at His Majesty the Emperor cautiously.

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Yuanzhen was not angry. In the eyes of outsiders, this kind of insult to the altar of the late emperor is simply a crime of treason and immorality that will be beheaded. However, Jiang Yuanzhen himself is an informal person. Is the altar new? It doesn't matter, as long as the offerings on the altar are delicious.In the past, those little beasts would order stonemasons to carefully polish and beautiful new altars for him every year. Unfortunately, every year, the sacrifices were whole boiled cattle, sheep and pigs, which made his liver hurt. willing to eat?Every time they returned it intact, those little bastards still thought they had won his favor, and happily divided the sacrifices.

However, Jiang Yuanzhen frowned again when he thought of the catastrophe caused by these little beasts. Not... alas!What a mistake!

"Hero, let's eat!" A cheerful and clear voice sounded, Jiang Yuanzhen smiled slightly, no longer entangled, but, when he walked to the stonemason's workshop, it was inevitable that he felt a little weird, for no other reason, all the stone carvings here were originally The North Vietnamese royal family carefully selected the ones for him to decorate the imperial mausoleum, and now, sitting and eating among this pile of unfinished stone carvings, after all, is a bit weird.Jiang Yuanzhen thought to himself, he should use his real body to meet Xia Xiaoqiao as soon as possible, and then let Xia Xiaoqiao go back to the tomb with him. His tomb is a very spacious palace, and there are many more kitchen utensils than here.

Black noodles are still the staple food for dinner, but this time, Xia Xiaoqiao made it into black noodle buns, and then fried a dish of diced pork and vegetables, a dish of fried shredded pork with green onions, and a plate of fried sauce. This novel way of eating was immediately praised by His Majesty the Emperor.

"This fried sauce is good, next time you can make more and take it home to dip in steamed buns." After eating happily, His Majesty couldn't help but want to talk to Xia Xiaoqiao.

"Ahem! Your Majesty, Xia Xiaolang can't hear you." Huang Gou'er stood aside in embarrassment.

Jiang Yuanzhen: "..."

However, although the two cannot communicate, fortunately Xia Xiaoqiao has been running a private restaurant in modern times and is very good at observing diners' reactions to new dishes. He found that heroes seem to like eating fried sauce made by himself. The fried sauce that I originally prepared and kept as a side dish the next morning was all packed in a clay pot.

"This, you can take it home and eat it. It's delicious to dip in steamed buns or make noodles." Xia Xiaoqiao put the clay pot of Zhuanghe fried sauce on the stone table. Not surprisingly, the clay pot quickly It disappeared. This time, what was placed on the table was neither silver nor gold, but a very delicate jade pendant. When I picked it up, it turned out to be a vivid little goldfish. The jade carver who carved this jade pendant must be A master, following a trace of red jadeite on the white jade, carved out this chubby little fish with a red tail. The jade pendant has warm tentacles. Even if he has never bought expensive jade, Xia Xiaoqiao believes that this piece Jade pendants must be valuable.

"This is too precious." After thinking about it, Xia Xiaoqiao pushed the jade pendant back.He doesn't get rewarded for nothing, he just helped to cook a meal, there is no reason to accept such a precious jade pendant.

There was silence in the air for a while, and the jade pendant on the stone table disappeared.

"Eh? I'm leaving now? It's really hard to guess the mind of a big man." Xia Xiaoqiao touched his head, ran outside and brought a stone pot into the house. When there were a lot of people, he would take a hasty bath by the river to finish the job, but now that he had the conditions, Xia Xiaoqiao still wanted to take a hot bath.

There are several huge stone tripods (specially made to burn incense for the first emperor) in the masonry workshop. Use a stone pot to boil more water and pour it in, and you can have a nice bath, but it is troublesome when pouring the water.Soaking in the hot water happily, Xia Xiaoqiao thought, don't be lazy tomorrow, go drag the second-hand bath tub in the big boss's room to the river to wash it well, let it dry in the sun for disinfection, it is better than this stone It is much more convenient to make a bathtub.

As the saying goes, different people have different fates. Here, the lucky Xia Xiaoqiao hid at home and took a relaxing bath. Over there, in Lingcheng at the foot of the mountain, someone knocked on the door of a grain and oil shop in the middle of the night.

"Are you sick? Knocking on the door in the middle of the night?" The curfew, a lofty system, can only be implemented in the imperial city. Not many people strictly abide by it in a border city like Lingcheng, where fish and dragons are mixed together. Therefore, in the middle of the night, someone knocked on the door, and the man on duty just cursed, but still opened the door.

"Get these things ready for me right away." A man in black handed a purchase order to the clerk, along with a large silver ingot.

"Hey! Alright, alright! Just wait a moment, it will be ready soon! Get up, there is a big deal coming!" As the guy yelled, the other guys who lived in the back were called up, and quickly followed the request of the man in black. Packed all kinds of rice, flour, grain, oil, etc., and when it was time to change the money, the local tyrant in black waved his hand: I reward you!

The clerk was overjoyed, and quietly took out a few bags from the corner, and he must give them to the man in black: "These are some vegetable seeds newly harvested by our store. You can take some back home. The mothers-in-law and grandma at home like it." Grain and oil stores often give Some customers would give their heads as small gifts, but it was rare for a big customer to come, and the hand was generous, so the guy naturally tried his best to please him.

The man in black looked at the cloth bags, as if he had thought of something, he reached out to take it, tied it to the carriage next to him, and drove the carriage to the next shop.

The next morning, as soon as Xia Xiaoqiao woke up, he was stunned by the piles of things in the yard: big bags of various rice noodles, soybean oil squeezed by hand in the workshop, cloth and clothing materials of various colors, various Snacks and snacks wrapped in oiled paper, and some unknown things, almost blocked his yard.

"What's the situation?" Xia Xiaoqiao was so frightened that he even forgot to wash his face.

"Ingredients, black noodles are too unpalatable." The pleasant male voice suddenly remembered, Xia Xiaoqiao was taken aback, raised his head and looked around, no one?

"Ahem, I'm here." His Majesty the Emperor flashed out from behind a pile of fragrant rice bags in embarrassment.

"Are you? A hero?"

"Ahem~ My name is Yuanzhen." I wanted to give my real name, but suddenly remembered that Xia Xiaoqiao's family was killed by the emperor of their Jiang family. Before the two of them developed further, Jiang Yuanzhen decided to stay It's better to hide your real name for a while.

Last night, after purchasing things, Jiang Yuanzhen wanted to take this opportunity to meet Xia Xiaoqiao with his real body.Although he has been dead for hundreds of years, he is the founding emperor of a country after all, so his body is naturally well preserved. In addition, after he has successfully cultivated, he does not lack those secret treasures to repair his body. Therefore, the whole ghost still looks the same. He was about 30 years old.

As a grassroots emperor, Jiang Yuanzhen's appearance is not very handsome, on the contrary, he exudes a murderous aura, probably related to the perennial battles, serious face, habitually pursed mouth, only a pair of The eyes are very beautiful, like the brightest stars in the night sky, deep enough to suck one's soul into it.

"Well, hello, my name is Xia Xiaoqiao, nice to meet you."

"A few times ago, I'm sorry, I was seriously injured and it's not convenient to show up. Now my subordinates have arrived in time. I heard that you are running out of food, so I specially asked someone to buy some back." Jiang Yuanzhen waved his hand , the yellow dog, black dog and twelve personal guards ran out in a hurry.

It really is a mysterious local tyrant!

"We will continue to live here for a while, excuse me."

"Hey, don't bother, don't bother! It doesn't matter how long you live, anyway, this house is not mine, by the way, do other people want to eat together too?" These people seem to be powerful people who can live here for a long time Best of all, his personal safety would be a little more guaranteed in case there were rebels or tomb robbers.

"Yeah!" Jiang Yuanzhen pointed to the things in the yard, "These, shall I have someone move them in?"

"Okay, okay!" Xia Xiaoqiao nodded hurriedly, looking at the crowd as if seeing a big fat fish.
