The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

With this question in mind, Yunyan met Zhao Yunchu.

Zhao Yunchu came to lead people, probably this is unique, the government assigned some people to form a business trip for him, but because Zhao Yunchu is the leader, so usually other people go through the formalities to report to him.

When Yunyan came back here, it was Zhao Yunchu who came to the door and handed over to Bao Zheng...

Bao Zheng sighed: "I don't even remember when it started. I never saw Brother Yan, and I was borrowed by you people." Among you, of course, Renzong is also included." This is impossible, when Brother Yan returns from the Ansu Army, he will not be allowed to leave Kaifeng Mansion this year."

"It's good to have a rest." Zhao Yunchu just agreed, and asked Bao Zheng for some investigation methods.

Bao Zheng is a nice person, so he told him in detail, and after he finished speaking, he said with a smile that was not a smile: "No wonder, when the employment is so tight, the officials took people away from Dali Temple."

Zhao Yunchu was taken aback, but Bao Zheng guessed that he had a different purpose for going there, because he still had a plausible reason.

But Bao Zheng is a loyal minister, even if he knew, he would not be able to report the news, so Zhao Yunchu just looked at him tacitly.

At this time, Yun Yanhui, who was called, also arrived, and said in a hurry: "Is it finished? I want to go out and get something."

In order to prepare for the trip and arrange the work in hand, Yun Yan has been extremely busy these few days, all of which are trivial matters, but it also makes him feel a little overwhelmed.

"What are you taking? Let me get it for you. It's already done." Zhao Yunchu said.

"No need, I'll go to Yun Pusi to get some bamboo shoots." Yun Yan thought about it, and said to Bao Zheng, "I'll send you some later, bitter bamboo shoots pickled in spring."

Yunyanhui was worried that the food would not be good on the road, and they were preparing to eat. Last winter, they ate bamboo shoots marinated by their Miao secret recipe at Yunpusi’s house. They could be preserved for a long time. After listening to Yunyanhui’s suggestion, this year they had it on the barbecue. After making money, they marinated a large number of bamboo shoots.It's selling well now, but I think it will sell better as time goes by.

"I think you should eat more for yourself. The bitter bamboo shoots clear away heat and fire." Bao Zheng also smiled when he saw him like this.

"Ashamed..." Yun Yan touched her cheek back, "It's still not fast enough."

"Because Brother Yan is someone who will do great things." Zhao Yunchu said proudly.

Bao Zheng laughed out loud, feeling that Zhao Yunchu was completely sincere.

Yun Yanhui was really embarrassed, he couldn't say it well in front of anyone, and it was too embarrassing to say that he was going to do something big in front of Bao Zheng.

"I think you are the one who is going to do big things..." Yun Yan looked back at him and said, "I'm just going to fight with you, but you are the leading imperial envoy." That is to say, the envoy.

Zhao Yunchu said: "Actually, the officials asked me to go because the Zhijun of the Ansu Army was my father's old unit. In this way, I will have someone to take care of me when I go."

It is true that these days, many imperial envoys are facing difficulties when going to the localities to handle cases, especially for major cases such as smuggling in the market.If there are local relations to deal with, it will naturally be much easier to handle.

This Zhijun is "Quan Zhijun and State Affairs", which is dispatched by the imperial court, and since the army is also an administrative unit, Zhijun not only presides over civil affairs, but also controls the army.Generally, the number of soldiers is particularly large in places where border crossings are especially questionable, and this can be regarded as an important member of one party.

Yunyan listened back and was relieved this time. In fact, he really thought in his heart whether Zhao Yunchu asked for a business trip, but after what Zhao Yunchu said, he felt that it should only be an official order.After all, the officials had already stated that they wanted to use the clan, plus Zhao Yunchu's relationship with his father's old department, and maybe the officials also considered that they had a good relationship and were easy to cooperate and cover, so they chose Zhao Yunchu.

Yun Yan went back to find the reason in her heart, she wanted to convince herself for a while, after thinking about it, she didn't think it was strange that she didn't find a veteran, but it seemed that Zhao Yunchu was the best candidate.

Yun Yan patted Zhao Yunchu's shoulder back, "Then it's up to you!"

Bao Zheng also teased and said: "Brother Yan has no strength to restrain a chicken, Si Zheng must take good care of him and return an intact person to the government."

Zhao Yunchu's ears were reddish, he lowered his head and said, "It's only natural..."

……

After finishing the formalities, Yun Yan took Zhao Yunchu to get the bamboo shoots together. Yun Pusi not only prepared the bamboo shoots, but also prepared some bacon for him, all of which were packed in small jars.

Let alone the bamboo shoots, Yun Yanhui already knew that the bacon is made of pork, which has been deep-fried, and all the meats are skinned, fat and lean.

Zhao Yunchu saw it, and asked Yunyan back: "Did you bring so many?"

"This is just a part of it. First of all, it's not just the two of us eating. If you want to lead people, don't you share some with your subordinates? Otherwise, how can they serve you when you eat alone?" Yun Yan went back to take stock, "When the time comes Although I often stay at post stations on the road, firstly, the food at post stations is average, and you may not be used to local food, and secondly, there will always be times when you sleep in the open, so there is nothing wrong with preparing more.”

Yun Yan said back, paused, and said, "Actually, I also made some instant noodles..."

If Zhao Yunchu was a modern person, he would have cried out in alarm at this time.

But it's a pity that he is an out-and-out Northern Song person, so he just said blankly: "What kind of noodles?"

There are a lot of noodles in Bianjing, but Zhao Yunchu has never heard of instant noodles, the name is a bit weird, it is completely in the style of Brother Yan, and he thought it was made by himself.

"The technology is immature, but I think it should be able to be imported. The sauce has been worked hard..." Yun Yan muttered back, "When I come to my house later, I will cook a bowl for you."

That's right, for the sake of appetite on the road, Yunyan made instant noodles out of nowhere. Although the ancient technology is limited, it's still pretty good.

Instant noodles can be said to be the greatest instant food in modern times. It saves time and you can eat noodles within a few minutes. If it is freshly rolled noodles, cut noodles, bottom, and soup base, I don’t know how much time it will take.

Yun Yanhui specially invited a master noodle maker from Bianjing to make a batch of thin noodles, and then rolled them into the wavy shape of modern instant noodles. It is convenient for instant noodles to be cooked.

Once it is rolled and set, it can be steamed and then deep-fried again to get all the water out of the noodles. After deep-fried, the noodle becomes hard and has a beautiful golden color.

——So if it is not convenient to light a fire to boil water, sprinkle some salt and eat it directly as crispy noodles.

Although Yun Yan has interviewed many things, he has never interviewed the instant noodle factory, he just knows the basic principle of making instant noodles.After trying to do it, it was really successful, but it was definitely not as refined as modern craftsmanship. However, in this era, it is already a big breakthrough.

In particular, Yun Yanhui also put a lot of effort into the seasoning package, so that when he finished, people who tasted it for various reasons did not have the love-hate mood of modern people, and they liked it very much. up.

Especially those who are often on the go.

"Come on, let's just put the things in the yard, anyway, it will be loaded directly..."

Yun Yan replied, and when he opened the door, he saw a group of people "often on the go" cooking and eating noodles at his house, and some of them ate them dry, causing the air to be filled with the smell of noodles.

"..." Yunyan was stunned for a while, with black lines all over her face, "I remember that there is no one in my house today!"

There is indeed no one in his family today, and they all went to Daxiangguo Temple, so now these people...

Kaifeng Mansion F4, Five Rats, these people looked at each other, showing an awkward smile, "Brother Yan is back, it's so early."

Yun Yan replied: "== Brothers, who did you learn this from? Do you know that you are now a member of the government! You are a civil servant! Bai Yutang, you continue to eat, you are not allowed to eat it! It is because of me Said that the quantity is limited, this batch is for business trips first, and you actually sneaked to my house to eat noodles, are you still promising?! Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, if you don’t think Zhan Weiwei will be very disappointed ?"

As Yunyan was talking, Zhan Zhao came out with a pot of noodles from the kitchen and said, "It's so hot, Yutang will pick it up for me..."

Yun Yan replied: "..."

The dynasty said weakly: "What did you say?"

Yunyan replied: "..." Said that his face hurts.

"Uh..." Zhan Zhao looked up and saw Yun Yan returning, he was very embarrassed, standing where he was, his fingers were burned red.

Bai Yutang was in a hurry, biting his chopsticks, stood up and took the pot, put it on the table, and said, "My good nephew, don't worry about it so much, it's just to eat some noodles from you. You prepared that—— There are so many, it doesn’t make any difference to eat some.”

Yun Yan replied angrily, "Why is there no difference?"

Bai Yutang: "Oh, did you find out that we ate twenty packs yesterday?"

Yun Yan replied: "......"

I rely on, really not...

"It's so shameless," Yun Yan turned to look at Zhan Zhao again, "Guard Zhan, you've learned too well!"

Zhan Zhao said shamelessly: "Zhan is ashamed, he couldn't keep his mouth shut..."

"Qi Mao is just hungry, what's wrong with him!" Bai Yutang yelled, ignoring Zhan Zhao's skeptical expression when he heard him accidentally blurt out Qi Mao, pretending nothing happened, "Brother Yan, you Can you sympathize with us, I am on errand every day, and I still can't eat this noodles, what a torment!"

"Blame me?" Yun Yan was not angry. After all, everyone was his own, but he was very speechless, and he didn't find it strange when he saw other people. It was Zhan Zhao who made him feel that he was hit with understanding.

Yun Yanhui simply squeezed them away, ignored their screams, took out half of the pot of noodles, filled it with soup, and gave it to Zhao Yunchu, "Hurry up, we can't take advantage of them..."

Everyone looked sideways, is this called logic?

Zhao Yunchu ate the noodles obediently, "The taste is a bit different, so why is it called instant noodles?"

Bai Yutang still had half a slice of flour pancake in his hand, and he ate it dry. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The name sounds a bit ugly, probably because of its characteristics, Brother Yan, it is indeed very convenient."

Yun Yan returned and explained the characteristics of this side to Zhao Yunchu.

Zhao Yunchu smiled and said: "That's really convenient, and the taste is also very good, Brother Yan, don't you plan to sell more after that?"

If you do business with this, there will definitely be many people willing to buy it, especially those merchants who are going out.

Yun Yan rubbed her chin back, "You can consider it, and put it on consignment at Daxiangguo Temple."

"Then wouldn't it become 'Daxiangguosi Instant Noodles' again in the future?" Someone said, just like Daxiangguo Temple Hehuayu, Xianglanzhi, etc., they were labeled as Daxiangguosi.

"Daxiangguosi Instant Noodles are Daxiangguosi Instant Noodles, a ready-made brand," Yun Yan replied, "Why don't you ask me to promote Master Kong's instant noodles?"

Zhan Zhao was puzzled and said, "Shouldn't it be Master Yun? Or, the master who made the noodles was surnamed Kang? But he didn't participate in the subsequent process."

Yun Yan was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "I really haven't thought about this, Yun, Master Yun? It sounds too..."

Yun Yan didn't finish talking, and the others thought that what he wanted to say was too silly.

In fact, Yunyan thought back, it was too fake...
