Ding Tian's Ancient Life

After comforting Wang Zuo, Ding Tian also heaved a sigh of relief.

At the same time, I was still baffled, why was Wang Zuo angry?

It's the Dragon Boat Festival soon, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Ding Tian sent the gift to the government office early, and said auspicious words. He didn't send it directly to Du Zhifu, but sent it to the back house. It was a family gift. Routine.

The two colorful silks inside made the prefect's wife very fond of it, especially Ding Tian was from Niujiao County, he was half a fellow, and the prefect's wife immediately gave back the gift.

The gift in return was also very generous: a basket of eight rice dumplings and twenty eggs. Knowing that Ding Tian didn't have a family, he didn't send any feminine products, but knowing that he had a family of servants to take care of him, he added two bolts of fine linen and four bolts of burlap.

This is a gift prepared with heart.

And Ding Tian also found an opportunity to start making seasoning cubes.

The base oil he used was butter, and after two days of cooking, Wang Zuo knew that he was making new food for himself, so he honestly waited at his house.

This also made Ding Tian speechless, Tangtang, who stood shoulder to shoulder with the king, was lying at the door of his kitchen, supervising the work!

Watching him make butter seasoning cubes is also admirable.

From grinding the seasoning to making it in a large pot, Ding Tian did not pretend to be someone else's.

One was for safety, and the second was because he was afraid that Wang Zuo would dislike him, so he did it himself.

Wang Zuo saw very clearly that Ding Tian did it all by himself, starting from fetching water and washing pots. After a whole night of work, he finally succeeded.

The next day, Ding Tian, ​​who hadn't slept all night, used the bottom of the pot to cook a pot of noodles. Even Wang Fugui couldn't resist the smell and ate a big bowl.

"This noodle can actually be made, but I don't have time now. When I have time, I'll make some instant noodles for you." Ding Tian was excited and wanted to make instant noodles by himself.

In fact, the method of instant noodles is very simple. As long as the thin noodles are rolled and fried, they can be stored for a long time. Of course, this is a long time, about half a month, or twenty sky?

Anyway, not more than a month.

In ancient times, without any preservatives, it can be said to be very good for such a long time.

Then put some butter seasoning cubes, and a simple version of handmade instant noodles. Of course, when eating at home, there are not only poached eggs lying on the instant noodles, but also a large piece of braised beef and a lot of vegetables.

It is estimated that if you are going out, it is not certain whether you can have such a luxurious version of the configuration.

But Wang Zuo was very satisfied: "This is good, butter seasoning cubes, good!"

"Actually, lard and mutton oil can also be used, but I think butter is better." Ding Tian said while sucking the noodles, "If you don't want to cook the noodles, you can cut a piece, put it in boiling water, and then sprinkle some Take green vegetables, that is, ready-made soup, and you can have a meal with dry food."

"Did you make this thing, or was it someone else's idea?" Wang Zuo put down the bowl and chopsticks, and asked Ding Tian seriously: "How long can a piece last?"

"I came up with this myself... How long will it last?" Ding Tian scratched his head. There was no preservative at this time, and he didn't know how long it could last: "I don't know, I haven't tried it..."

"Except for me, you are not allowed to do it for others, and you are not allowed to tell it." Wang Zuo said very seriously: "You are not allowed to teach others to do it, and the servants in your family are not allowed."

"You are the overbearing..." Ding Tian muttered.

"What did you say?"

"No, I didn't say anything." Ding Tian nodded quickly: "All right, all right, you can say anything."

Ding Tian agreed happily, not to mention that his main job is not a gourmet, let alone a chef, if it wasn't for Wang Zuo, why would he bother to cook?

In the end, you want him to keep it a secret?

There is no need to keep it secret, and he will not go around telling people about his cooking: "This is a Dragon Boat Festival gift from me, are you happy?"

Hurry up and finalize it, this gift can exhaust him.

"Well, I like it very much." When Wang Zuo said this, he was also a little embarrassed: "I will give you a reward in person.

head. "

This is his greatest sincerity.

Let him see the gift list, except for the tribute to the emperor, there are not many gift lists that he can personally see, usually his housekeeper will arrange it, and the most important thing is Wang Fugui to deal with it. Worry about such things.

But when he took it seriously, it was different.

And the next day, Ding Tian received something from his second uncle and third uncle, two sets of new clothes, 50 taels of silver.

Did you hear that Ding Tian bought a shop in Fucheng?

Fearing that he was short of money, I sent 50 taels of silver over.

I didn't bring anything else to eat, I was afraid it would be broken when it was delivered.

What's more, is there anything to eat in Fucheng?Why send things to the country?

Yihao Wang Zuo sent someone to give him [-] rice dumplings with candied dates, and Ding Tian hurriedly asked someone to bring back [-]. This thing is a rarity in the countryside.

Four more people were sent to that person, as a feast for the festival.

For the rest, Ding Tian took them to the cells and divided them into one for each person, including the prisoners.

As for the colleagues in the yamen, there is even one person, and Ding Tian shouted at them: "Eat it before talking, this thing can't be kept for too long, it will break!"

Almost 200 were divided, and there were more than [-] left. Ding Tian packed ten of them and asked Ma Liu to send them to Cui Jiu. After the Dragon Boat Festival, this guy will officially start to be a good person.

I packed ten more and gave them to Mrs. Jin; I packed fifty and sent them to the Lin family. After all, they are considered contacts with the Lin family.Fifty were sent to Jin Jia, this is Mr.

He took one hundred of the rest and sent them to the prefect of Du; he also gave twenty to Master Du... After dividing one point, there were thirty left in the family, which was enough for the whole family to eat.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, the yamen has a day off and goes back to celebrate the festival.

But this morning, Ma Liu was standing at the door, smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.

Ding Tian sleeps late and doesn't want anyone to call him. He doesn't want to get up, but if he doesn't want to get up, he will get up too.

Because this morning, Wang Zuo was the first one to return the gift.

Wang Zuo gave him two carts of stuff and a cash box.

In the money box, there are a hundred silver ingots of one tael each neatly placed. The snow-white silver is particularly waking in the sun

Item.

Ding Tian likes this kind of gift the most.

Two carts, one cart pulled two pigs, and the other cart pulled ten bolts of plain linen, ten bolts of medium silk, ten bolts of high-quality colored silk, and two bolts of colored satin, the patterns and colors on which were very beautiful.

It is absolutely impossible to buy this kind of makeup brocade in Beifeng Mansion, it must be a good material from Beijing.

Most people can't even see this thing, let alone wear it on their body.

Two big fat pigs and one Ding Tian let them be pulled to the cell, where thirty male and female guards will be divided, and each person will be able to share at least three to five catties of meat, and even the prisoners will have a good meal along with them.

I couldn't eat a pig in my family, so I gave ten catties of meat to Aunt Jin and twenty catties to Jin Jia.

Let Maliujia boil the rest of the lard....

Wang Zuo had already hung the multicolored gourds that Ding Tian asked the female prison guards to fold in the station, and there were such cheap multicolored gourds everywhere.After many people heard about it, they immediately tore off their gorgeous multicolored gourds and quickly replaced them with this cheap multicolored gourd.

I'm afraid that the ones in my home are better than those in His Royal Highness King Ning's residence. Isn't that just looking for a beating?

On the contrary, Du Zhifu, what they hang here is also the colorful gourd given to the government by Ding Tian, ​​which is surprisingly consistent with Wang Zuo, Wang Zuo knew it, and said: "Integrity."

Just two words, and then everyone quickly became "clean".

The second gift to Ding Tian was from the Lin family, and the Lin family also gave generously, two bolts of linen, four bolts of burlap, and a large mat made of bamboo.

The north side is full of reed mats, and there are also bamboo mats, but exquisite bamboo mats are rare in the north, because the summer in the north is very cold.

short.

And this thing is very expensive to buy, after all, it came from a long way...

The third one was delivered by Jin Jia himself, Ding Tian kept him for dinner by the way

"You carry this pouch close to your body. Inside are the pills I put in to prevent mosquitoes, rats and ants from approaching. Seeing that summer is coming, carrying this thing will bring many benefits." What Jin Jia gave Ding Tian was an ordinary street. The purse sold on the side.

Green bamboo color, with a delicate apricot flower embroidered on it.

It's quite fresh, hanging on Ding Tian's waist, it's quite conspicuous.

"Oh, okay, did you see the pork sent by the family?" Ding Tian stroked his purse.

"See, I have owed a lot of favors over the past few years. The pork was divided and I gave it away. It's quite a face. I'm the only one in the house. I'm here to make up the number with you and come to your house for the holidays." Jin Jia It's blunt: "I'll stay at your house tonight."

"Okay." Ding Tian nodded: "I don't have anyone here anyway... come...."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face because Wang Zuo came!

As soon as he came, there was quite a commotion, everyone in the family was used to it, but it made Jin Jia very uncomfortable, Xiaomin had never seen such a big battle.

It was Wang Zuo, who glanced at Jin Jia: "The one you invited?"

"That's right!" Ding Tian introduced them both: "He is the gentleman I invited here, he is golden armor, gold is not exchanged." 7

"Xiaomin has seen... my lord." Jin Jia was very restrained.

"En." Wang Zuo nodded, and very consciously entered the main room, occupied the big hole outside Ding Tian's bedroom, and closed the window: "It's summer, should you change the screens on your windows?"

"My window paper is new!" When Ding Tian came in, he saw Wang Zuo's hands dishonestly picking at his own window paper. Why is this prince so indebted?

"Hmph!" Wang Zuo snorted, and planned to ask Wang Fugui to pick some suitable gauze materials when he went back. The windows used in summer should be pasted with screens, not mulberry window paper!

Can it still be ventilated like that?

Ding Tian wiped his face: "Today is the holiday, eat something good."

Then arrange for Jin Buhuan to talk with him in the room, and he has to go to the kitchen.

Jin Buhuan obviously didn't expect the two to get along like this.

Ding Tian patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Jin, you chat with him, I'm going to cook."

Then he left without giving Jin Buhuan a chance to refuse.

In the kitchen, Maliujia's has already prepared some preparatory work, and they are waiting for Ding Tian to come over and start cooking.

The staple food is of course zongzi.

Ding Tian cooked four dishes and one soup.

Braised pork, steamed eggs, steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice and tofu mixed with shallots.

The soup was spinach and goose egg soup, and it didn't take much time before it was served on the table.

Then he discovered that Wang Zuo and Jin Jia had a good chat. Jin Jia shared with Wang Zuo some of his experience in reading torture books, and Wang Zuo shared his actual experience with him!

"Tian'er has no experience, so he just talked about it. If he really wants to get serious, he may not be able to do it." Wang Zuo took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and wait for the meal. The second time: "In fact, there are many kinds of punishments.

Yes, what you understand is just some superficiality, such as this board-playing board. In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the board-playing person has to practice since childhood. Put a piece of tofu there, cover it with a piece of rice paper, and play the board. If you beat it a hundred times, the rice paper is broken, but the tofu is not broken. If you beat this kind of board, it will be a flesh injury. It looks scary. In fact, it can be cured after ten days and a half months, without hurting the muscles and bones; There is a way to hit the board, that is, the rice paper is not broken, and the wooden board placed underneath is broken, and when the board is knocked down... it looks like the injury is not serious on the outside, but the inside is hopeless.... "

Ding Tian was dumbfounded when he heard it, but Jin Jia nodded frequently: "Yes, I have seen such records in some books." Ding Tian sucked his saliva, he had heard of it...but he thought it was a legend!
