Husband and wife are hot on the kang

"Sichuan cuisine!" Yu Liangji's eyes lit up when he heard it: "I want boiled fish, and I want fish-flavored shredded pork!"

"Master Hou also has research on Sichuan cuisine?" The Northland is vast and sparsely populated, and they have their own cultural heritage, and few outsiders are passed on.

Unexpectedly, Master Hou also knew Sichuan cuisine!

"Of course!" Yu Liangji said enthusiastically, "Land of Abundance! Hot pot, Malatang! And..."

The magistrate of Da'an County is so happy!

Of course I am happy that my hometown is praised so much!

So in the evening, a table of authentic Sichuan cuisine was served, spicy and delicious!

Hou Qingfeng ordered boiled fish, spicy soup, and fish-flavored shredded pork. .

Dongpo elbow twice-cooked pork, steamed beef with strange flavor chicken, set a big table!

The staple food is Longzhaoshou, which is another name for wontons in Sichuan. In case they are not used to the spicy Sichuan cuisine, the chef carefully prepared sweet multigrain porridge.

This meal was pretty good, as long as Shi Hongda didn't let Yu Liangji eat boiled fish from time to time.

"Eat less, you dare to eat spicy food if you have a bad stomach? Want to have a stomachache at night?" Shi Hongda calmly picked up the fish on Liangji's chopsticks and ate it himself.

When Yu Liangji turned around, he picked up a chopstick and patted the cucumber for him!

What I drink at night is not tea, but fruit tea.

When we left the next day, everyone was still reluctant to leave. The Daan County Magistrate even gave these people a large bag of pot bottoms.

With a good pot bottom, everything tastes delicious.

Going forward one day, they arrived at Tongliao Station.

The first stop to the south is Tongliao Post Station, which is the largest post station at the junction of Dongbei Prefecture, Liaodong Prefecture and Xing'an Prefecture.

The entire station is made up of four four-storey concrete buildings with a splash of transparent glass, making it look like a high-end hotel rather than a station!

The post soldiers inside are all beaming, because they are the ones who "make money" every year!

Every time they receive passing officials, they do their best, and when they leave, the officials can pay the bill.

There are so many people here this time, it is even more enthusiastic!

"Hou Ye and your lord live in Room [-] of Tianzi, Eunuch Liu lives in Room [-], and the prince lives in Room [-]. Everyone who brought them lives in the standard room, and all their things are put in the yard. There are people patrolling, absolutely safe!" The Yi Cheng at the post station led the way very attentively.

"Thank you, but I don't need to live in the county office this time." Yu Liangji liked it here, because the county office is full of people, and this post is better, with a lot of officers and soldiers.

The original postman was only in charge of guards of honor, chariots and horses in the station, as well as welcoming and seeing off.

Later, Sheng Taizu was changed. The small post station became a post office, the middle post station became a post office, and the large post station also added the content of a chain hotel.

Otherwise, how would you spend the night without going to the village or back to the shop?

"Please boil some hot water for everyone to take a bath and soak their feet." Yu Liangji saw that there were conditions here, so he made this request.

In the county government, it’s hard to mention, there are not many handymen, so many people can’t take a bath, it’s better here, there are many people, and there are conditions, so I brought it up. In winter, taking a hot bath will Very comfortable.

"Don't worry about that, Ben...cough cough...there are public baths and small private rooms at this station, so you can take a bath!" Yicheng smiled happily: "It's just the cost...?"

"This is no problem." Shi Hongda finally said from the side: "Money is not a problem."

This time, in order to get married, Yu Liangji emptied the gold and silver in the family, only some money left in the bottom of the box, and brought the rest!

"Yes, yes, I'll prepare it now, everyone, don't worry, the hot water pipe is enough!" Yicheng liked to hear this.

After taking a hot bath and soaking our feet, everyone had a good night's sleep. After breakfast the next day, we started our journey again.

After tossing like this for several days, I finally arrived in the capital!

The capital city, with its majestic city walls and tall city gates, Yu Liangji sat in the car and looked out, was much taller than the Fucheng, and the flow of people coming and going was very dense. The guards guarding the gate were neat and tidy, and were responsible for evacuating the flow of people.

They are officials, and there is a special passage for them to enter and exit. They don't have to line up, they just go in. After entering Beijing, they go directly to Qiwei's Mansion.

Shi Hongda has also expanded the Qiwei Mansion over the years, but he has never been here once!

This is the first time to come to Qiwei's Mansion, and the people from Qiwei's Mansion came out to greet him!

"Boss!" Seeing Shi Hongda, they all shouted "Boss", their eyes were red.

"Well, it's you...cough cough...Qingfeng Hou." Shi Hongda pointed to Yu Liangji who was standing beside him.

"Sister-in-law!" These people shouted at Yu Liangji.

Yu Liangji's eyes widened: "Huh?"

"Call... Lord Hou!" Shi Hongda wanted to laugh, but Yu Liangji looked at him, so he could only change his words with a smile, telling them to pay attention.

"Master Hou!" These people also knew that what they yelled just now was not very good, so they yelled very loudly this time.

"Yeah!" Yu Liangji nodded with a smile.

"Don't stand at the door, let's go in first!" Shi Hongda arrived at his mansion, and immediately became the master, receiving everyone.

"Our family won't go there, go back to the palace first to get the decree." Eunuch Liu bowed his hands and said goodbye first.

"Eunuch Liu, go slowly."

After everyone saw off Eunuch Liu, they entered the Qiwei Mansion.

The Qiwei Mansion is not big, with only four entrances, but there are cross-courts on the left and right, so that so many people and things can be settled. There are people watching the Qiwei Mansion, and everyone can live in it.

There are also two Juren who failed the exam, not because of lack of knowledge, but because they didn't eat the right food during the exam. One of them got sick and the other had diarrhea, so they didn't pass the exam.

But the two of them were not discouraged, and tried to pass the exam in three years!

Shi Hongda introduced the family members here to Yu Liang and Yu Xinghuai, who were actually Shi Hongda's former comrades-in-arms.

"This is Kang Dazhuang, this is his wife, his eldest son, and his eldest daughter!" Shi Hongda was the first to introduce to Yu Liangji the bearded Kang Dazhuang.

This man is fine except for a piece missing in his ear and a limp in one leg, but that doesn't hinder his life.

"Brother Kang!" Yu Liangji was very good at talking, so he called Big Brother directly.

He is not called by name, let alone Kang Dazhuang's official title.

"This is Mao Dafeng, and that is his Qidi brother, Mao Xiaofeng." There is also a pair of brothers, is that the name?

"Brother Mao, Brother Mao." Yu Liangji's eyes were a little strange, because Mao Dafeng looked like a standard tall man, while Mao Xiaofeng was a medium-sized young man with the appearance of a foreigner!

"Xiaofeng is an abandoned baby I picked up." Mao Dafeng said very calmly: "I don't know who is so wicked and left the child on the battlefield, but I was terrified!"

Mao Xiaofeng chuckled, he didn't mind his life experience at all, he was raised by the wind.

"At that time, Dafeng was only ten years old. He helped the nearby villagers clean up the battlefield. He picked up Xiaofeng and kept him alive. Later, Dafeng joined the army first, and Xiaofeng joined the army later to find his brother.... "Shi Hongda briefly talked about the two of them.

In the end, Dafeng retired, and Xiaofeng followed, and the two of them came together, but they had no relatives in their hometown, and there were no immediate relatives, so they were arranged by Shi Hongda to come to Qiwei Mansion, where the two of them maintained their health. Don adopted two children, two boys.

"This is Xu Yuandong, and this is his sister-in-law. Over there are his two daughters. His son is in school and hasn't come back yet." The last family consists of five members.

Xu Yuandong is missing an arm, Mrs. Xu is a standard housewife, and her two daughters are all heroic. Seeing Yu Liangji, they smiled and served hot tea and fruit refreshments.

"Brother Xu, sister-in-law Xu!" Yu Liangji greeted the same, but nodded to his two daughters, because the girl hadn't left the cabinet yet, and everyone could ask her name. little girl.

They are no strangers to Xinghuai, because every year, they can receive the New Year's gift from the Hou's Mansion. Although it is not gold, silver or jewelry, it is very practical, such as food, meat and vegetables, and cloth.

There are also some authentic medicinal materials from Northeast China, such as Fangfeng, Bupleurum, etc. They are also sent to them. If you have a cold and fever, soak a little water and it will be cured.

So everyone is no stranger to Liangji!

"Master Hou, make dumplings tonight, stuffed with pork and green onions, let everyone clean up!" Mrs. Xu is in charge of the back kitchen here, that is, in charge of everyone's food and drink. She and Mrs. Kang are the masters of the kitchen.

"Yes, I'll kill ducks!" Mrs. Kang also suggested: "Make fifty roast ducks!"

"It doesn't take that many, it's enough to kill thirty!" Yu Liangji hurriedly stopped them, how many of them are there?Just fifty roast ducks?

Are you done eating?

"Fifty in one oven, just right, and this roast duck is served with sweet bean sauce, cucumber slices, shredded green onion and coriander, and eaten together, it tastes great!" Mrs. Kang insisted.

"Eat at least half of one per person!" Mao Xiaofeng spoke with a very authentic accent, but his appearance obviously didn't match his speaking style.

Mao Dafeng touched his golden hair, his family Xiaofeng likes to eat roast duck!

"Then trouble the two sister-in-laws." Yu Liangji thought for a while and agreed.

"Just look at it!" The two sisters-in-law happily went down.

The two daughters also went to help, Mao Xiaofeng couldn't sit still, and followed him to the kitchen.

Shi Hongda chatted with them a lot, they hadn't seen each other in these years, and they were not in a hurry to leave, so Yu Liangji went with them and heard a lot about their past.

It can be seen that their brotherhood is very deep.

During dinner at night, Yu Xinghuai also toasted them. After all, they were all elders!

"Since the son is here, it's good that the marriage is settled." Kang Dazhuang drank his wine and shook his head happily: "Let those people go in a hurry!"

Yu Liangji didn't quite understand.

"Originally they didn't get involved in his marriage, it was all wishful thinking!" Shi Hongda was slightly drunk, and suddenly slipped his mouth.

Yu Liangji picked up a piece of roasted duck breast, put it on the pancake, put some sweet noodle sauce on it, wrapped cucumber strips with shredded green onion and coriander, and stuffed it directly into Shi Hongda's mouth.

Mao Dafeng saw it and laughed.

Everyone drank too much at night, went to bed early, got up early the next morning, and after breakfast, eunuchs came.

"The emperor said that the morning is the morning time, and we have to rest at noon, so we will arrange for the Lord Hou to have an audience with the lord and the son in the afternoon." The inner eunuch is a young eunuch who conveys the message, and he looks very innocent, and he looks at it curiously. Yu Liangji.

"Okay, I got it." Shi Hongda asked someone to give the little eunuch a purse, which was not delicate, but it contained two golden nuggets, four pieces of peanut candy, four pieces of pine nut candy, and four pieces of dragon beard crisp.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Yu Liangji looked at the little eunuch, feeling a little pitiful, how old is this child?Just the eunuch?

"Are you the Marquis Qingfeng, the daimyo?" The little eunuch looked at Yu Liangji blatantly.

"It's famous, not waiting." Yu Xinghuai smiled and gave him a straight face.

"Sometimes I don't speak clearly." The little eunuch scratched his head and smiled.

"You entered the palace at such a young age...?" Yu Liangji's eyes were full of pity.

"What else can I do if I don't enter the palace?" The little eunuch told Yu Liangji in a low voice: "I'm Tianxie...but anyone who is diagnosed with Tianxie will be taken into the palace, and he can still study every day and have food. To eat, to wear clothes, to get paid..."

Only then did Yu Liangji know that some of the eunuchs in the palace came from this way. Basically, once they were diagnosed as Tianxiong, they were directly operated on and sent to the palace.

One is to keep them from being discriminated against, and the other is to give them an aboveboard reason to be inhumane.
