Daily life of the imperial mausoleum

"The main culprit is your Jiang family! If it weren't for your cruelty and cruelty during your administration, which led to the current war, how could there be so many ghosts and dead ghosts in the underworld? In short, your Jiang family must be responsible for this batch of extra expenses. !” His Royal Highness Pluto said indignantly, he hadn’t counted his overtime pay and service fee yet.In order to collect debts smoothly, he didn't even bring Xiaobai, who was habitually slow, this time.

"Indeed, the crimes of the Jiang family are unforgivable, but what does this have to do with me?" His Majesty the Emperor looked at His Highness Pluto with a puzzled expression, "I vaguely remember that I didn't marry a wife and have children back then, and the prince also never married. The adoptive of the family is not the widow's own."

"!!!" His Royal Highness Pluto choked, barely swallowed a mouthful of blood, and struggled to hold on, "That, that's your Jiang family too! In short, our underworld will not be responsible for this money!"

As the king of Pluto, he naturally has some private money. However, since he decided to be with Xiaobai forever, His Highness Pluto has always wanted to give Xiaobai a god. Restricted, just like some public institutions in later generations. If you want to increase the staff, either someone will retire and move their position, or someone will be transferred or increase their quota. The quota of immortals is not easy to move around. The mistakes of some little gods, such as Brother Bajie in a certain fairy tale, who was cast down to the mortal world, naturally vacated the position of Marshal of the Canopy.No matter whether it is to move the location or take the relationship, it will require a lot of expenses. For this reason, he has to spend his private money to go around the heavenly court. It seems that there will be a clue, how can he be short of money at this time?He absolutely refuses to spend his private money on housework!

"Then there is no other way. Since North Vietnam destroyed the country, there are no priests here. Where can someone burn paper money for the widow?" Jiang Yuanzhen spread his hands, "How about I give you some funeral objects?"

"Bah!" His Royal Highness Pluto was furious, "No one wants that thing in the underworld! What I want is Ming coins! Ming coins!"

"Okay then~~ I can find someone to burn some Ming coins, put them in my account, and then order someone to transfer them to you, but you have to pay for the paper money yourself." Jiang Yuanzhen rolled his eyes.All his money will be left for Xiaoqiao to buy things, and they will spend a lot of money to get married in the future, and it is not used to fill the hole for those prodigal sons.

"Okay! Later, I will ask Xiaobai to send some silver over. By the way, the underworld is very chaotic these days. Xiaobai, I will ask His Majesty to take care of it for the time being." Ling, there are too many ghosts who died unjustly in the underworld, and the daily overtime pressure is also very high, but Xiaobai is worried that he will not be able to bear it, so no matter how late he stays with him, his little face will lose weight as soon as he sees it. Lord Pluto is very distressed, thinking about it He could only use the excuse of asking Xiaobai to come to the imperial mausoleum to assist His Majesty Mozun in dealing with the death of a wronged soul, so he agreed to come to the imperial mausoleum to share his worries, but in fact he found a light job for him It's really well-intentioned for Xiaobai to be able to rest!

Because Xiaobai was going to stay temporarily in the imperial tomb, there was another ghost in the team of Cengfan.Xia Xiaoqiao has to spend more energy researching some dishes that can be stewed in a large pot. Besides, it is getting colder in winter, and it is not convenient to cook. There is no air conditioner. Usually, when all the dishes are cooked, the stir-fry will have already cooled down. up.

Put the fresh wild boar bones into the big pot and stew them into a pot of thick pork bone soup. Taking advantage of the morning, Xia Xiaoqiao and Mian rolled the noodles and made a lot of thin noodles, and put them aside in small piles .

"What is this for?"

"Make instant noodles."

"What are instant noodles?" His Majesty the Emperor expressed his incomprehension.

"Yes... oops, I can't explain it clearly. Anyway, it should be delicious. You just wait to eat it!" The weather was getting colder, and His Majesty the Emperor didn't bother to go out during the day, so he simply sat under the stove to help light the fire and keep warm. Huang Gou'er didn't understand either, how could a ghost like Your Majesty be afraid of the cold, probably because of the psychological effect Boss Xia said?

In his previous life, Xia Xiaoqiao was a person with no enterprising spirit. His favorite thing to do when he was idle and bored was to cook all kinds of delicacies. However, a night owl like him often needs to eat late at night. He disliked the unhealthy instant noodles bought in the supermarket, so he simply researched instant noodles by himself. The simple method is to knead some oil and salt and fried scallion oil in the flour, then make noodles and fry them in a pan, and seal them when they are cold. When eating, take some pork bone soup from the refrigerator, Add a poached egg, some green vegetables, etc., and you have a bowl of homemade instant noodles that are full of ingredients and delicious. They are all prepared, vegetables and eggs are also available at home. Except that the noodles are a little more troublesome to make, they are similar to ordinary instant noodles.

Beiyue is not good in other things, the only good thing is that all the ingredients are authentic, like shallots in the vegetable garden, the taste is even better than the shallots he personally purchased from the farm in his previous life, and the fried shallots It was very fragrant, and His Majesty the Emperor watched it almost as soon as it came out of the pot. Ever since the smell of the scallion oil came out, this fellow has been watching him scoop the fried scallion oil into the earthenware pot with his own eyes. , and then personally stuffed the scallion oil left over from his noodle making into his own interspatial bag, Cui Shijing and Xiaobai, who came here smelling the smell, didn't even pick up a shredded scallion.

At noon, after people and ghosts ate up more than 40 bowls of instant noodles prepared by Xia Xiaoqiao, and smelling the smell of scallion oil left in the air, Xiaobai threw himself comfortably on the soft couch: "Xiaoxia's cooking skills are simply world-class. It’s hard to find! If you don’t want to hang around in the human world, why don’t you go to the underworld with me? Don’t dare to say anything else, it’s okay to give you a formal ghost fairy treatment.”

Before he finished speaking, he was thrown outside by His Majesty the Emperor.

"Uh~~ Xiaobai, what nonsense are you talking about? What ghosts and immortals from the underworld? Are you the king of hell hahaha~" Xia Xiaoqiao thought that Xiaobai was talking nonsense because he had eaten too much.

It was only then that Xiaobai realized that he had said bald mouth carelessly for a while, and almost leaked the secret in front of Xia Xiaoqiao. No wonder His Majesty the Emperor wanted to throw him out.

"Well, Brother Yuan, our eggs are gone, and some commonly used seasonings need to be bought. I heard that there is a riot at the foot of the mountain. Is it safe to go down the mountain to buy now?" Xia Xiaoqiao asked, if it is not safe. , then he has to find a way to find some substitutes, he can't let the big guard guard risk his life to help him purchase ingredients, right?

Fortunately, the chicks have grown to half the size, and they should be able to lay eggs when they are fed until the beginning of spring. Xia Xiaoqiao observed by himself, and there are still a few little roosters in the flock, which is great, and they can hatch by themselves in the future. Chickens, chickens lay eggs and chickens, endlessly, maybe soon he will be able to have his own small chicken farm.

"It's okay, I'll send people down the mountain to buy today. You can tell the yellow dog what you need." It's no problem for ghosts to travel thousands of miles a day. If you can't buy it locally, can't you buy it in a big city thousands of miles away?Jiang Yuanzhen refused to reincarnate and stubbornly stayed in the world. Originally, he wanted to live freely. If he couldn't even eat an egg, what's the point of becoming a fairy?

Xia Xiaoqiao was not surprised. In his opinion, Jiang Yuanzhen was a wealthy second generation who did not have to worry about eating and drinking. All he thought about was reciting poems and painting (he hadn't seen this for now) but good food and wine. It is not surprising that those local tyrants in his previous life have never done it before purchasing ingredients from far away places. As a private restaurant owner who also needs to work part-time to prepare his own ingredients for local tyrants, he has long been used to it.He told Huang Gou'er carefully about the ingredients he was short of, and then Huang Gou'er gave the purchase order and the money he bought to the guard, and he didn't care about the rest.

Although the temperature is low today, the sunshine is good, and it should be sunny in the near future. Xia Xiaoqiao thought about it and decided to make some sauerkraut by himself.

The "Chinese cabbage" in the vegetable garden is very different from the Chinese cabbage used to make sauerkraut in the previous life. The leaves are scattered like Mei Chaofeng, and they look very unrestrained. This kind of vegetable grows up and takes up a lot of land. After eating, everyone said that the taste was too bland and unpalatable. According to the local aboriginal recipe given by Cui, this kind of dish is usually used to make cold dishes. Xia Xiaoqiao tried it and gave up decisively. Unpalatable!A smell of water.

But it should be good for sauerkraut.Chop off all these unpalatable cabbages in one go, remove the old cabbage outside, break open the rest, wash them, hang them on the rope to dry, and wait until all the water is dry, you can take them off and wipe them with rough Put the salt in the clay pot to pickle, press a few big pebbles on it, put the pot in a cool place in the kitchen, and leave the rest to time.

Out of blind trust in Xia Xiaoqiao's cooking skills, Fang Huan also picked many of these cabbage from the field outside, probably because the seeds were accidentally scattered in the field when farming, and they grew by themselves. In Xia Xiaoqiao's way, he invited his servants to make a big vat full of sauerkraut.

She thought she had made enough, but in winter, when Xia Xiaoqiao opened the altar for the first time, took out the fermented sauerkraut, and made a big pot full of sauerkraut and stewed pork bones for everyone, Only then did she start to regret: she really should have made a few more jars back then!You know, women have absolutely no resistance to sauerkraut, a crispy, appetizing side dish. What's more, Xia Xiaoqiao soon developed delicacies such as pickled fish, stewed pork noodles with pickled cabbage, fried pork with pickled cabbage, etc. Of course Yes, the fish was bought by the guards from outside, he dare not eat the fish in the local river!

"Ahh~~ I feel like I'm getting fat!" Xiaobai pinched his non-existent stomach.

"If you can't just eat, you will gain weight! Let's go, I just need your help." Cui Shijing picked up Xiaobai.

"What are you doing? I'm not leaving! Xiaoxia said that she will make venison and sauerkraut dumplings tonight!"

"Don't worry, I won't delay dinner, I still want to rush back to eat dumplings~"
