Ding Tian's Ancient Life

The yamen servants naturally don't want to have anything to do with a down-and-out family like the Ma family, not to mention they know the methods of the Ma family, and they are ruthless.

It.

The Patriarch of the Ma family did not expect such a result!

He also finally understood the saying, "The King of Hades loves to see little ghosts, but it's difficult to deal with."

Different from Ding Tian's emotion, he turned around angrily and left without saying a word.

The yamen servant saw that he was gone, so he trotted back to report to Mr. Du that he had already left in anger.

The Patriarch of the Ma family is not someone who just sits and waits to die. When he returned home, he told his two younger brothers: "The fame of a talented scholar cannot be kept."

The two younger brothers looked dark.

"But as long as you don't get imprisoned, you don't make a mistake, and you are deprived of your fame...and you won't be publicized... Anyway, it's a little bit to make up for it." The head of the Ma family has a decisive character: "The gift will be prepared again. Double the wealth, I will go to the Zhang family and visit the eldest son!"

That afternoon, the head of the Ma family went to the Zhang family...

Ding Tian learned about Ma Jialiang's fate from Uncle Zheng after he went to work the next day, after lunch: he was deprived of his reputation as a scholar, and he could not take the imperial examination for life; ten.

"Why not put in prison?" Ding Tian was not very satisfied.

"I heard that it's because some young master gave your lord a note, and then someone went to your lord and gave him a big gift, and the lord Xuezheng also followed suit. That's why..." Old Zheng Uncle whispered: "Anyway, they are from the Ma family. The Ma family is still very famous in the local area..."

The Ma family is like a huge monster to people like Old Zheng and the others.

His family dared to confront the Lord Fu Zun. The last time he deliberately delayed the payment of grain and grass, didn't the Lord swallow that bad breath?Now it's just that the adults gave the other party a blow.

The other party immediately used some connections to intercede.

Don't adults have to take a step back... as the saying goes, "take a step back, the sea and the sky will be brighter"!

The corners of Ding Tian Ting's mouth twitched: "Broad sea and sky?"

"I heard them mention it, it seems to be such a meaning?" Uncle Zheng smiled: "And my lord wants to come because of Zhao Laosi."

The compensation of 50 taels of silver, and two hundred catties of millet, is enough. "

The compensation in silver and food is very generous.

"It's okay... What I want to say is that every inch of time is worth every inch of gold!" Ding Tian was heartbroken: "Even if he gave 500 possessions, what's the use? Zhao Laosi stayed in the cell for half a year. Women and children are worried, this mental damage fee is enough for [-] taels!"

"Pfft!" Old Uncle Zheng was sipping tea, when he heard this, he burst into tears.

"Are you always burning?" Ding Tian's tea here is all good tea. Old Zheng Shu often comes to him to have a cup or two of tea and chat.

to chat with.

Ding Tian held old Zheng Shu in his cell because he "respects the old".

As for Old Uncle Zheng, he would come to him from time to time to chat with him, and sometimes he would give Ding Tian some advice.

With Ding Tian's support, old Uncle Zheng also reciprocated and suppressed the people below. I don't know how to cherish being with such a good jailer. How did the previous prison boss treat you?

Ding Tian's work was so smooth, and Ding Tian's "relationship" was also very strong.

"What's hot? It's hot!" Old Uncle Zheng put the teacup away cherishingly: "Tian'er, don't you ask for too much for 500 taels? It’s a good idea, but, if you really want 500 taels, Zhao Lao Si will definitely not dare to accept it.”

"Why?" Ding Tian didn't understand. If it was in his era... Well, without the 500 million private compensation, the lawsuit would definitely not be withdrawn.

And that fellow Majialiang, the whole family must be scolded by the people!

At any time, a third party involved in a marriage is not welcome.

"500 taels is a hot potato, people will say that their family blackmailed people!" Old Zheng Shu sighed: "50 taels is considered to be compensation, it is the government's decision, the compensation given by the Ma family, not their family's blackmail, and Delaying the farming work and giving two hundred catties of millet, this is the master's consideration."

Ding Tian was not convinced, but this was the best result he could achieve.

After a business trip, I went home and saw Wang Zuo was at home. This time, this guy even brought official documents to look at!

"I said, are you working overtime and coming to my house?" Ding Tian also admired him to death.

"Yeah." Wang Zuo opened one and continued to look: "The weather here is too hot, do you need ice? I have ice cubes for supply." Northerners are not resistant to cold and heat, and stick out their tongues every summer.

Therefore, during the winter in the north, a large amount of ice will be cut to store ice.

Although saltpeter can be used to make ice, ordinary people hate the trouble. The large households have a large amount of ice, so they need a lot of saltpeter every time. There are no saltpeter mines in the north. Buying a large amount of saltpeter is comparable to the cost of storing ice. .

"Okay!" Ding Tian nodded, "I'm going to cook."

In fact, the weather is so hot that he eats very little food all day long, but Ding Tian has already prepared for it.

Before he left in the morning, he put a few cucumbers in a small clean basket, tied them with hemp rope, and hung them in his own well.Regardless of the heat outside, the well is actually cold, which is equivalent to the temperature of a refrigerator.

After leaving it for a day, he came back and slipped it up again. While it was cold, he quickly made some cucumbers, rice that had been steamed at noon, and fried it with goose eggs.

Pat cucumber, egg fried rice.

Wang Fugui couldn't stand the simplicity: "I said Tian'er, isn't this too simple for you?"

Not to mention the staple food, there is only one dish, not even a soup... Where did their prince eat such a simple meal?

At worst, it's two dishes and one soup.

"Shut up, I'm eating." Ding Tian didn't care about him.

After getting along for a long time, we all know each other's personalities. Wang Fugui is the kind of mother who can pick bones out of eggs.But Wang Zuo had a big appetite. The cool cucumber was too much for him, and the fried rice with eggs was also delicious. The most important thing was that he didn't feel hot after eating. Before, he would feel hot after eating a meal. Sweating, so his dwelling is very cool, because there are many ice cubes.

This is also the reason why he doesn't come here very much recently. Ding Tian's house doesn't have ice cubes, it's hot.

But unexpectedly, the cucumbers here are so cool!

"This is called cold dish." Wang Zuo was very satisfied.

"You can't eat too much of something so cold." Ding Tian said, "If you're afraid of the heat, then put more ice cubes to cool it down. Actually, it's not very hot at night."

After enjoying the high temperature of [-] to [-] degrees, Ding Tian no longer cares about the high temperature in ancient times.

He felt that this temperature was just right, 27 degrees, which was the standard green environmental protection temperature in his time.

What's more, the hottest time here is only 26 to [-] degrees, which already made Wang Zuo feel that he couldn't stay any longer.

"Yeah." Wang Zuo agreed on the surface, but actually planned to go back and order such a cool side dish.

"What can you do if you go to the south like this?" Even if Ding Tian has never been to the south here, he knows that the south is hotter than the north. "It will rain in the south, but it will be too dry in the north." Wang Zuo was also wronged.

He is not a particularly squeamish person, but he is really bored by the hot and dry weather in the north.

"Then you can only take a few more showers." Ding Tian couldn't give him a better idea, so he talked about today's case with him, and Ding Tian was still worried about the verdict.

"Don't be afraid, there will naturally be a time for liquidation in the future." Wang Zuo just threw him this sentence and left.

Ding Tian thought for a long time but didn't understand what it meant, so he simply gave up thinking about it, went to wash up and rested.

On the contrary, Wang Fugui, after returning to the post station to serve Wang Zuo to sleep, went to the guard who was on duty today: "What's the matter with the cold dish served by Ding Si prison?"

The guard just said, it was taken out of the well!

Wang Fugui slapped his head, how could he forget?

So the next day, Wang Zuo had cool fruits to eat, and the cold dishes were also cold, even the honey water was chilled.

Because he was busy that day and had to meet a few people, Wang Zuo didn't go to Ding Tian's house for dinner that night, but after dawn, he started to suffer from severe diarrhea.

This is amazing!

Wang Fugui's eyes were red, and he took care of the people in the kitchen immediately, the cook who cooked the vegetables, the cook who cooked...even the one who cut the vegetables was not spared.

It's summer, the prince has a fever!

Several staff members also looked serious: "Who can attack the prince in the post?"

The third floor and the outer three floors of this inn are surrounded by their own people, and even the wells are guarded by special people. No one can act alone, at least a group of five people, even if the servants go to the street to buy a needle and thread, Also five people go together and come back together.

What's more, even servants from the capital feel superior to others, and look down on the things in this remote and remote place, and almost all they use are brought by themselves, so they have to go out to buy, and they choose the best and most expensive.

This kind of strict defense, and people sneaked in, it really... successfully attacked the prince, and several of their staff felt sorry for the prince.

General Gao also came, with his helmet on and a saber in his hand, he looked like he was scanning everyone's necks with his eyes and knives, as if he was going to kill everyone.

As a result, the imperial doctor who followed came over and was speechless after checking the pulse: "My lord, how many cold things have you eaten? You have caught a cold...

 … ,,

Wang Zuo's face was stern, as cold as ice.

Greedy cold eating spoiled his stomach, which doesn't fit his personality at all.

The people in the kitchen were free, but they were also criticized by the imperial doctor. You can't serve the prince cold, cold things just because the prince is greedy for cold.

In bitter summer, it doesn't matter if you eat something cold to relieve your fire, but it shouldn't be too cold.

So, from now on, Wang Zuo's fruit is cold, but the food is still hot...  

Ding Tian saw that Wang Zuo hadn't come for three days. During his ten-day break, he went to the dim sum shop. The business was good, especially Cui Jiu, who seemed to be a different person, with a sincere smile on his face, never again. It looked so wretched before.

And they also developed some new products by themselves.

For example, Dingtian is now packing the packaged cold cakes.

This cold cake is not the cold cake in Sichuan, but the cold cake in Northeast China, a dessert similar to glutinous rice cakes.

It is made of glutinous rice noodles and then filled with fillings. The cold cake filling is made of red bean paste, and only a little sugar is added for seasoning. It tastes sweet but not greasy.

The appearance of the cold cake is also very cute. There is a red dot on the white and fat dumpling, which makes you want to take a bite when you look at it.

When Ding Tian saw it for the first time, he thought it was glutinous rice!

In addition to this new product, there is also mung bean cake. This is the peak season for eating mung bean cake, because mung bean cake is served with mung bean soup, which is a great way to get rid of the summer heat.

Antipyretic.

"Yesterday, Mr. Du from the government office came to the small shop and ordered a hundred catties of mung bean cakes. He asked for more beautiful packaging. This is for delivery

Gifts for some old folks! "Cui Jiule grinned from ear to ear: "The price I gave is very fair, and a gift box is also included.

"

"Yes, I can do business!" Ding Tian was happy: "Work hard, and after a year or two, if you think you can support it, I will sell the shop to you!"

This shop is an experiment by Ding Tian, ​​which proves that Cui Jiu can still be a good person.

100 taels of silver to buy a prodigal son back, quite a deal.

Cui Jiu's eyes turned hot: "Hmm!"

Ding Tian carried the pastry box and wandered to the post station. Ma Xiaofeng followed him, so the two went in directly through the side door.

There are still many people wanting to see Wang Zuo at the gate of the post station. Among them is a very beautiful carriage, and a nobleman in the carriage is fanning fiercely, but the sweat is still dripping down his face...
