Daily life of the imperial mausoleum

"Mr. Yuan, come and help~~~" Standing on a stone slab engraved with scriptures, Xia Xiaoqiao couldn't reach the eaves with all his strength, Xia Xiaoqiao looked around and found that Jiang Yuanzhen was strolling in the yard to digest food, and immediately called out He comes to help.He could see that this Mr. Yuan seemed cold and heartless, but he was not very good at rejecting people. Of course, it is also possible that his skill in asking for help made him unable to refuse, right?

"Come down." Jiang Yuanzhen hugged the petite Xia Xiaoqiao off the stone slab with a smile on his waist, and helped him remove a dried chicken from under the eaves, "Is this it? "

"Yes, yes! Mr. Yuan, you are amazing!" Xia Xiaoqiao had long hands and long feet, almost a model figure, and Xia Xiaoqiao was envious and jealous.

"You can call me Brother Yuan or Brother Yuanzhen." Jiang Yuanzhen corrected seriously.

Finding out that this guy is serious, Xia Xiaoqiao was speechless. Brother Yuanzhen is crazy, he can't shout at all, okay?

"Then, shall I call you Brother Yuan from now on? What do you do, Brother Yuan?"

"The family has a small property, so I'm free to study and practice martial arts." Jiang Yuanzhen replied lightly.

Feelings, this is still a rich second generation?But looking at him, he doesn't look like a second-generation ancestor who has nothing to do and eats his ancestors' money. Could it be that there is something unspeakable?Thinking of those time-traveling novels, the hero is either the bastard son who is not tolerated by the mistress, who is a genius but can only pretend to be the second generation ancestor, or the first son who was persecuted by his stepmother and scumbag and had to leave his hometown... I don’t know Yuan What happened to Zhen.

"What's this?" Jiang Yuanzhen couldn't help frowning as he looked at the black mass that looked like a strip of meat.

"Oh, this is soy sauce meat with my family's unique recipe. It's a commercial secret. I can't tell you how it's made. But it's guaranteed to be delicious! You'll know it after you try it."

Soy sauce meat was supposed to be made from pork. However, Xia Xiaoqiao couldn’t hunt at that time, so he processed the endless rabbit meat caught in the trap with soy sauce meat. This kind of meat is often eaten by farmers. It is very difficult to buy fresh meat from the countryside. In the past, it was only available at the market. Housewives usually put some coarse salt and soy sauce on the meat and hang it under the eaves to dry for ten and a half days. It can be eaten in about a month. When eating, cut it into slices, steam it with pickles or dried tofu, add some dried chili, garlic, etc., it is fragrant and spicy, and it goes well with rice.

Since Xia Xiaoqiao's mother opened a private restaurant, she has figured out some new seasoning recipes, and improved the soy sauce meat that is common in rural areas, which is more in line with the healthy eating habits of urban people, and has a unique flavor, which is very popular .After Xia Xiaoqiao came here, he found that although the condiments here were relatively simple, the sauce was very good. Probably because the people in North Vietnam lacked vegetables, they put a lot of effort into the dipping sauce. Just a variety of sauces There are more than a dozen types, such as soybean paste, broad bean paste, wild bean paste, and some sauces that can't be tasted from the raw materials, which greatly make up for the lack of spices.

In the evening, Xia Xiaoqiao cut the soy sauce meat into pieces, spread it directly on the washed white rice to cook, and sprinkled some chives on top before serving. This simple version of soy sauce rice with crispy rice won Jiang Yuanzhen et al are very welcome.Huang Gou'er and the others only got a small bowl each, and Jiang Yuanzhen wrapped up the rest. Xia Xiaoqiao found out that Jiang Yuanzhen also likes to eat crispy rice. The crispy rice with soy sauce and meat flavor is fragrant and crispy. Your Majesty the Emperor Creaking and gnawing, like a mouse stealing food.

The others didn't dare to compete with His Majesty the Emperor. It was obvious that they were not full. Xia Xiaoqiao felt a little embarrassed, so he simply shoveled out all the crispy rice in the cauldron and left it to Jiang Yuanzhen. , Another large pot of rice was stewed, and the soy sauce meat was eaten up, so he cut some bacon made by himself and spread it, which was also very delicious.

Soy sauce rice is delicious, but it is greasy, and you will get thirsty after eating it.Worried that these natives would not be used to eating it for the first time, Xia Xiaoqiao secretly asked one of the guards to help him jump up the tree, picked a few green pears and boiled the pear water. After cooking, he found that there was no rock sugar. Bingtang, Xia Xiaoqiao only realized now that since he swept the kitchen, he has hardly seen any trace of sugar!

"Sugar? Sweet? You mean honey?" After hearing Xia Xiaoqiao's description, Jiang Yuanzhen gave him a strange look, and then asked.

"Honey?"

"There is honey and tree honey. If you want them, let them pick some." Jiang Yuanzhen beckoned, and the two guards behind him immediately flew out.

"Wow~~Brother Yuan, your martial arts are very powerful! Can I learn this?"

"You can not."

"Why?"

"This is boyhood."

"I, I'm a boy~" Xia Xiaoqiao muttered with a blushing face, whether it was before or after crossing, he is the original product that has not been opened, okay?Proper authentic products support counter inspection!

"Cough~ I mean, you have to start practicing from a very young age, not referring to that boy~" Jiang Yuanzhen explained awkwardly, and the tips of his slightly turned ears were a little red.He suddenly thought of what Xia Xiaoqiao meant by "boy". Just because he understood it, he felt a little embarrassed, and there was a hint of joy in his heart.

"Ah? Oh! Hahaha~~ I'll go see if the bath water is ready." Xia Xiaoqiao fled in despair.

Really, it's so embarrassing~~~ What are you talking about boy skills?

"Pfft~~" Huang Gou'er hid in the corner, holding back a smile and enduring it so hard that his nails were almost scratched.

"Dog slave! What are you laughing at?" Jiang Yuanzhen scolded with a smile, but there was no trace of displeasure in his tone.

"Hehe~~ This old slave thinks that Xia Xiaolang is really a good and innocent boy. His majesty's good news is coming soon, so don't forget to reward the servants and servants with a sip of wedding wine?"

"Yeah~ It's rare! In a catastrophe, you can still keep a pure heart." Jiang Yuanzhen knew well about the wedding, and it couldn't be so fast. After all, no matter what, the two of them were still separated by ransacking the house. As for the revenge of exterminating the family, Jiang Yuanzhen wished to travel back and strangle them all when he thought of the crimes committed by those little beasts, which would delay his great cause of marrying a wife!Anyway, as long as the country is doing well, who can't the throne be passed on to?After all, he is the founding emperor, and no one would lack his offerings without him.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, shall we go back to the palace and sleep?" Huang Gou'er asked softly when he heard the sound of water coming from the next door and guessed that Xia Xiaoqiao might be about to take a bath.

"Well! You go and say hello to him, and I won't go over, so as to save him from being thin-skinned and embarrassed." Jiang Yuanzhen smiled slightly.After hundreds of years of silence, Jiang Yuanzhen almost forgot that he was once a mortal who could laugh and get angry.Fortunately, God sent him Xia Xiaoqiao.

In the next room, I saw Xia Xiaoqiao pouring the boiled bath water into a large tripod. It seemed that this was his bath tub. Huang Gou'er took a closer look and couldn't help but twitched his mouth: This tripod , if he read it correctly, the engraving on it should be the eulogy that the royal family dedicated to the late emperor during the annual sacrifice, right?But it doesn't matter, the royal family is all dead, and I don't know if this year's grand ceremony can be held.Besides, looking at His Majesty's intentions, Xia Xiaolang should be the default candidate for Empress Yuan. Since he is the Empress of Yuan, the sacrifices are of course eligible to be enjoyed with His Majesty. Those who use the sacrificial cauldron to bathe the gods should be treated as him. Didn't see anything.

The imperial mausoleum at night was empty, and it was inexplicably gloomy. Although I didn't know where Jiang Yuanzhen and the others lived at night, Xia Xiaoqiao felt very at ease when he thought that he was not living alone in such a terrifying place. After taking a bath, Xia Xiaoqiao threw himself into the warm quilt, and fell asleep happily. Anyway, before crossing, he was a dead house, living alone, and he didn't feel lonely at all.

Outside the imperial mausoleum, Cui Shijing pinched the neck of a wild dog trying to break into the imperial mausoleum, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands. These miscellaneous things are troubles, not like ghosts outside, because there are gods and beasts to suppress them. They didn't dare to break into the imperial tomb. These wild dogs probably thought that Xia Xiaoqiao was the only one left in the imperial tomb, so they wanted to go in to take advantage of it, right?But it doesn't matter, it just so happens that he also wants to kill something from time to time, and after getting rid of these disgusting wild dogs, when Xia Xiaoqiao comes out to chop firewood and pick wild vegetables again, the air outside will be much fresher.

Looking at the corpses of wild dogs all over the ground, and looking at the low-level ghosts lying on the ground sucking blood and souls, Cui Shijing sighed slightly.

I don't know, will that person come out tomorrow?
