The daily life of Jiufu Jin in Qing Dynasty

Rou Jia didn't know how Fujin was feeling, she only knew that after playing outside for such a long time, when she came back to the house, she had the feeling of going on a trip and finally coming home.

So before she knew it, did she already regard Jiu Age's Mansion as her home?

Although after traveling for a few days, Rou Jia was sure that if there were no accidents, she would live in the Qing Dynasty for the rest of her life, but she still didn't have much sense of belonging to this dynasty and the Nine Princes' Mansion.

But now she actually felt like going home, Rou Jia was inexplicably sad, but she was sad for only three seconds, when she heard Brother Nine asking her what she was eating today, Rou Jia immediately said: "Roast duck! I want to eat roast duck! "

Oh, what a sad thing, it's important to eat.

Peking duck has been around for a long time, but it is not called Peking duck at the moment. Although the main material of this dish is the famous and expensive Peking duck, the method is also roasted, but because there is no roast word at this time.

It’s amazing, it’s also the first time for Roujia to know that the word “roast” was not used in the Qing Dynasty, although someone said so, so Beijing roast duck is now called roast duck, or Jinling sliced ​​skin duck.

Because it is said that in the early years, from the emperor to the common people loved to eat Nanjing salted duck, so in order to please the Ming taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the imperial chefs tried their best to develop new ways to eat duck dishes, and this Jinling duck with sliced ​​skin is one of them.

Later, when Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty succeeded in usurping the throne, when he moved his capital from Jinling to Beijing, he brought a large number of cooks with him to cook duck for himself, so this famous Jinling dish took root in Beijing, and was even renamed Beijing Roast Duck.

Probably because I have been with Roujia for a long time, Brother Jiu can understand some of her strange expressions, such as now: "It's a duck with skin, right? He Yuzhu, let the people in the big kitchen do this."

"Yes, master." He Yuzhu responded and hurriedly ordered the people in the big kitchen to start making Jinling sliced ​​duck. He Yuzhu, the eunuch next to Brother Nine, has a lot to do.

Also busy were Putao and Longan, the two big court ladies around Fujin. On the contrary, Roujia and Jiu Age, the two masters, were very idle, but it was probably because they were lazy.

If it is not particularly important, you can just hand it over to someone you trust, because neither Rou Jia nor Brother Jiu is the kind of person who will do everything by himself, unlike Si Ye and Si Fujin, their husband and wife are The kind of person who loves to do everything by himself.

By the way, when it comes to Si Ye and Si Fujin, Rou Jia suddenly asked: "Are the gifts I prepared all right?"

How could it be possible not to bring some souvenirs to those close to her when she travels, so Rou Jia has already prepared souvenirs for the three and four Fujins who are close to her in private.

"If you are talking about the cows and sheep you named, I guarantee that they are still alive." Brother Jiu said, that's right, what Roujia prepared for Sanfujin and the others were local cattle and sheep that were born and raised on the grassland. Native sheep.

"Are you laughing at me?" Rou Jia glanced at Brother Jiu, and said, "Isn't it the same for the ancients to prepare gifts for people?"

After finishing speaking, Roujia couldn't help laughing, because she found that the Ninth Brother in front of her also belonged to the ancients in a strict sense.

Brother Jiu couldn't figure out where Roujia's joke was at the moment, but he didn't care, he just said: "Sister-in-law three and sister-in-law four don't dislike the gift you gave me."

"No way." Roujia said with certainty, how do you say something?Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away means light gifts and heavy affection. The cattle and sheep she wants to give away are all carefully selected by professional people, right?

They also hired someone to feed them along the way to ensure that they were healthy and safe when they followed them to the capital. Rou Jia said, "These are all my thoughts."

"Then these cattle and sheep are miserable enough." Brother Jiu said with a smile, "I used to live well on the grassland, but now I have to trek across mountains and rivers to come to the capital, and I still can't escape the result of being slaughtered and eaten."

"It's so sympathetic, don't eat the leftover cattle and sheep."

Brother Nine, who was killed by one sentence: "... I take back what I just said."

When Roujia heard this, she hummed and laughed for a while, and then asked if the gift she had prepared for Honghui and the others was ready, she said: "If it is ready, I will send it to them together."

Of course, adults have a share in things like gifts, and children have to have a share too.

"Don't worry." Brother Nine said, "It won't delay your giving away."

But it's fine to give gifts to anyone, that's a matter for the future, what's more important now is to eat, after Rou Jia and Brother Jiu went to wash up and came back, the people in the big kitchen have already prepared the dinner for the two masters .

Because I learned from He Yuzhu that Roujia and Brother Jiu didn't want to eat too many meat dishes, so apart from the Jinling duck, the people in the big kitchen only made squirrel mandarin fish as a meat dish.

Of course, this dish is not called squirrel mandarin fish at the moment, but squirrel carp. Like the sliced ​​skin duck, it also comes from the beautiful Jinling, and everything else is vegetarian.

Rou Jia ordered roast duck by name, so the first dish to serve with chopsticks was of course the Jinling duck with sliced ​​skin. The duck skin was burnt red, but the duck meat was white. The two complement each other, not to mention how beautiful it is.

Roujia picked up a piece, dipped it in sugar, stuffed it into her mouth, and bit it down. The duck skin was oily but not greasy, and it was so crispy that people could hear a "click". The tender duck meat was delicious and moist, and it matched with The grainy white sugar is simply delicious in the world.

"Try this way of eating." After eating one piece, Roujia picked up a pancake and put the duck skin, sliced ​​cucumber strips and scallions on it one by one, rolled it up, dipped it in garlic sauce and handed it to Brother Jiu mouth said, "I promise you like it."

Brother Jiu didn't refuse either, and he ate it with his mouth open. This way of eating is much richer than simply eating roast duck. The crispy duck skin is paired with fragrant cucumber sticks to eat it, which is a little less greasy and more refreshing. , while the scallions and garlic sauce add a bit of spiciness to this refreshing taste, making the taste much richer.

People at this time don’t eat this Jinling duck with sliced ​​skin, so it’s quite fresh to Brother Jiu, and it’s less greasy than eating duck with sliced ​​skin alone, so he likes it after tasting it once. up.

"This way of eating is really new, and it can be promoted in restaurants." Brother Nine suddenly mentioned the restaurant, and Rou Jia asked, "Has the restaurant decided to open?"

"It will be opened before the Mid-Autumn Festival." Brother Jiu said, as for their toy store, it has been open long ago, but this restaurant is different from the toy store, because the capital city is really hot in summer, it may not be possible to eat at home Well, let alone go out to eat.

The second reason is that the two of them went with Kangxi to spend the summer outside the Great Wall. If someone really caused trouble, Brother Jiu was also worried that the manpower he left would not be able to hold the place, so he simply postponed the opening.

Rou Jia didn't know much about business, anyway, Brother Jiu was already a veteran in this line of business, so Rou Jia simply left it to him to handle everything.

Because they were also tired this day, Rou Jia and Brother Jiu went directly to bed after dinner and finished eating. They didn't do anything that night, and slept peacefully until dawn.

The feeling of sleeping and waking up naturally is really wonderful. Because of the reason of rushing before, Roujia was woken up every day by someone, but it is different now, because when she returns home, she doesn’t have to go to the palace. Concubine Yi pays her respects, so Roujia sleeps until she wakes up naturally.

She lay on the bed and stretched, and got up from the bed after lying on the bed for a while. There was no way, she couldn't lie on the bed for a long time without a mobile phone.

Brother Jiu's biological clock is similar to that of Roujia. When she moves, he wakes up with him. Unlike Roujia, she can't stay in bed for too long without a mobile phone, but Brother Jiu can.

Because he has Roujia.

So Putao and the others, who were about to come in to wait for Roujia and the others to get up when they heard the noise, heard the sound of the two masters messing around in the room, and Putao and the others quickly backed out.

"Aixinjueluo Yinzhen, are you a hungry wolf?" Roujia, who has been "eaten" by the nine princes inside and out, wants to hit someone, why is he so energetic?

"I'll just treat you as Fujin, you're praising me." Brother Jiu couldn't understand why Roujia scolded him?But men are all the same, scolding him like this on the bed is equivalent to praising him, so how could Brother Jiu be angry?On the contrary, he is a little complacent.

So it was already early today, but Brother Jiu made such a fuss that the hour was almost over, hearing her stomach growling from hunger, Rou Jia couldn't help but give Brother Jiu a sideways glance.

He "eats" to his heart's content, but she is starved to death as a result.

However, after a fierce battle, the blush on Roujia's face has not subsided, and there is still an intoxicating spring in the corners of her brows and eyes, so this look makes Jiu's heart itch.

Putao and Longan are not fools, how can they not see the eyebrow and eye lawsuit between the master and them Fujin?At the moment, both of them couldn't help but bring a little smile on their faces.

Putao and Longan didn't know exactly what happened to Roujia and Brother Jiu, but seeing that Brother Jiu treated Roujia so well, they were naturally happy as slaves.

It's just that Putao and Longan are happy, but Roujia is not happy, especially after hearing that Lang Gege and the others are already waiting outside to greet her, she is even more unhappy.

It's not jealousy or anything, it's simply because she's hungry now!

Rou Jia knew that it was normal for a young lady to come to pay her respects to the main wife, and even some of the main wives would let the concubines stand aside and serve them during meals.

But Roujia is neither a native of the Qing Dynasty, nor is she a person who loves to tease others. For her, the best relationship between her and Wanyan Gege and the other concubines is that the best thing is not to interfere with each other.

As for developing an earth-shattering friendship with them as girlfriends, forget it, no matter how silly and sweet Rou Jia is, she knows that her relationship with these concubines is naturally antagonistic, not to mention Brother Nine's backyard None of the three princesses was worry-free, so it was impossible for Roujia to cause trouble for herself.

So from the very beginning, Roujia knew how she should treat those princesses in the backyard. Unfortunately, many things will not develop according to what Roujia thinks.

Just like those princesses in the backyard, they knew that Roujia didn't welcome them to pay their respects, and they also didn't want to see them, but they still came.

why?

Isn't it just to find a chance to show your face in front of Brother Nine?

Speaking of it, no one thought that things would be like this. It was obvious that Fujin was the most unfavored person before, so unfavored to the point that the few of them dare not take her seriously.

But who knows that the feng shui will turn around after that. In the past, it was difficult for Fujin to get a smiling face from the master, but now they are even worse than Fujin before, because they don't even get a smile from the master, they even see the master. It's hard on one side.

So knowing that Roujia didn't like it, Lang Gege and the others still came. After all, they were still young, so how could they be willing to accept the fact that they fell out of favor and could only stay desolately and wither in the backyard in the future?

What Wanyan Gege and the others thought, Roujia would be lying if she said she didn't know at all, after all, if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs running?Besides, where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, let alone a backyard with only women.

So it doesn't seem right to blame Wanyan Gege and the others for obstructing her eyes. From their standpoint, they are just trying to make her life better, so who is to blame?

Of course it is the big pig's hoof that is the culprit!

Thinking of this, Rou Jia looked at Brother Jiu through the mirror, but was surprised to see that the expression on his face seemed a little...

Guilty? ? ?

Roujia was surprised. The mirror in front of her was not the kind of dark yellow copper mirror that was blurry in TV dramas, where even the silhouettes of people could not be seen clearly. Of course, it was not the kind of glass that was imported from abroad. It is not a mirror, but a real bronze mirror that can clearly illuminate people's sideburns, eyebrows, and hair, and the mirror light can illuminate people.

Rou Jia no longer wants to complain that she was deceived by the TV series again, and what is even more strange to her is that Brother Jiu actually has a guilty conscience?

Rou Jia wondered if she had read it wrong just now, she didn't care about makeup, she turned her head to look at Brother Jiu, and asked, "Did you do something bad behind my back again?"

"What do you mean?" Brother Nine was caught but still insisted, "When did you do something bad behind your back?"

"Hehe." Rou Jia laughed, and then said, "Master misses the red bean cake made by Lang Gege, who doesn't know that he asked Eunuch He to invite him with great fanfare?"

Brother Nine: "...!!!"

How did she know?

Brother Jiu quickly turned his head and glanced at He Yuzhu, and he couldn't help Eunuch He with a bitter face. He obeyed the master's words and went to silence others, but the problem is that the grapes and longan around Fujin are not Those little maids can't be sealed by him.

As the culprit, Longan was as quiet as a chicken, and she didn't mean it, she just said it out of her mouth quickly.

"Really." Brother Jiu didn't know who was breaking the stage for him, but the left and right were just the two big court ladies beside him, Fujin, thinking that they really didn't say what they should say, what they shouldn't say Time to speak out.

As a result, Roujia didn't know when she should know, and she knew when she shouldn't. Brother Jiu cleared his throat, and then said, "Who is talking nonsense to spread rumors about you? When did you like red bean cakes?" Yes, nothing."

"Do you know it yourself?" Roujia said while turning her head back, "And whether you like to eat or not is your own business."

Brother Jiu didn't dare to let Roujia know before, because he was worried that she would make trouble with him, but now that she knows, let's not make trouble with him, brother Jiu is not happy again.

"No, why aren't you jealous?" Brother Jiu said, "If, I mean, if, if I really like food, you really let me eat it?"

"I don't eat dumplings today, what vinegar do I want?" Roujia said, "As for whether you eat or not, I've already said that's your business, so why are you moji?"

Brother Nine who was disliked and moaned: "...!!!"

"The whole thing is yours, so isn't it your business?" Brother Jiu said, seeing that Roujia really didn't care at all, he couldn't help but said, "Besides, you promised Grandpa will think about it carefully."

Roujia: "...???"

Is there such a thing?

"You haven't forgotten about it, have you?" Brother Jiu looked at Rou Jia, who said without blushing, "Of course not, am I still thinking about it?"

"Really?" Brother Jiu looked doubtful, "Then why didn't you care if Grandpa went to see Lang?"

"Because the legs are on your body." Rou Jia said as a matter of course, "If you want to go, what's the use of being jealous? Besides, Brother Nine, didn't you promise me that I won't have another woman in the future? Is it possible? Are you lying to me?"

Brother Jiu really had this idea in the beginning: "..."

"Dang...cough, of course not." Brother Jiu said, "A man is a man, he speaks his word, and you have seen it too. Is there any other woman besides you besides you?"

Rou Jia, who pretended not to know Brother Jiu, said with a guilty conscience: "So I trust Brother Jiu."

Roujia's trust made Brother Jiu feel heavy, and felt an inexplicable sense of guilt, but the problem is——

Didn't he question Master Rou Jiaxing at the beginning?

Why did it somehow become his self-reflection meeting?

and also……

Brother Jiu suddenly reacted and said: "I think this is unfair."

"Where is it unfair?" Roujia asked.

"You will be the only one in the future, right?"

"Ah."

"Then shouldn't you also do that in the future, you will only be devoted to Grandpa, only like Grandpa, and only Grandpa in your heart?"

"Um???"

When Rou Jia heard Brother Jiu say this, she was stunned for a moment, and she will only be devoted to him for a long life in the future?Only like him alone?Is he the only one in my heart?

That won't work, it's too difficult, Rou Yangou Jia changed his mind and said, "Then I don't want it."

Brother Jiu: "...???"

Realizing that Roujia didn't want anything, Brother Jiu almost died of anger: "No! You have to!"

******

Wanyan Gege and the others came to the main courtyard today to say hello to Roujia, they just wanted to take the opportunity to meet Brother Jiu, and show their presence in front of him, but they never thought that they didn't even see Fujin's face, so they met the master first He came out of the room angrily.

Seeing this, Lang Gege and the others were first surprised, then overjoyed, could it be that the master and Fujin fell out again?

If this is true, then this is their good chance, Liu Gege and the others suppressed their inner joy, and got up to say hello to Brother Nine.

Come to the main courtyard, because I know that Brother Jiu will be here, Wanyan Gege and the others have all been well-dressed. They already look good, but now they look even better.

However, no matter how good-looking it is, it’s useless. Thinking of Roujia’s rejection just now, and looking at Wanyan Gege and others who were affectionate towards him, Brother Jiu looked at them as if he was looking at a class enemy: “Here Master, tell me the truth, Fujin sent you to seduce you, right?"

Liu Gege/Lang Gege/Wanyan Gege who seduced Nine Brothers spontaneously and unorganized: "...???"
