Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"I...I've seen dried fruit!" Ding Tian was quick-witted: "They all look similar. I also met a caravan selling...cherry jam, have you tried it?"

When mentioning "sauce", Wang Zuo looked disgusted: "I haven't eaten it."

"If there's a chance, I'll make it for you. It's sour and sweet, it's delicious." Ding Tian said, tears streaming down his face: Socialism is better!

There are pastry shops all over the street, and you can buy a jar of jam for ten yuan.

Here is something that even a man as big as the prince has never eaten.

tsk tsk!

"Oh...then you can eat something now, it was delivered by the fast horse from Beijing." Wang Zuo actually wanted Ding Tian to eat some different fruits.

This fruit was sent by a horse four hundred miles away from the capital, and it was not much in total. He specially asked someone to pick out the good ones and brought them, wanting to give Ding Tian a surprise, who knew that he knew each other... It was a surprise.

"I'll try it!"

To be honest, Ding Tian has not eaten such fruit for a long time.

In the north, the melons here are delicious, and the watermelons here are also good, but they are only available in summer. In spring, autumn and winter, there are basically no fruits to eat. Yes, they are also dried fruit and soaked in water. Drink it, it's like seeing fruit.

Some licorice and apricots are already considered dried fruits, and they cost fifty copper coins in the store for a catty!

Ding Tian doesn't like to eat that either. Say something that makes people blush. Ding Tian likes sweet fruits, but the fruits in the Northland are more sour. Apricots, plums, and sand fruits are all sour fruits.

He likes to eat watermelon, but within a month or two, the watermelon is gone.

The same goes for cantaloupe.

But the cherries are very sweet, really sweet. This is different from what he ate before. This is a pure natural and pollution-free green food.Although the whole is not big, the nucleus is quite large.

It's so thin, it's sweet and sour when you eat it in your mouth, completely different from the ones of his time.

The peaches are also full of flavor and have a lot of water content. Ding Tian's eyes are smiling when he eats it.

Wang Zuo was very happy to see that he was eating well, but then Ding Tian went to the kitchen to cook for Wang Zuo.

Braised a big wild carp in braised sauce, and a plate of salt and pepper shrimp. This is Hehong. I bought it by the way when I bought fish. In summer, I salt and pepper the river fish and eat them with their shells to supplement calcium.

At the dinner table with Wang Zuo, we could talk about anything, so Ding Tian mentioned the matter of Zhao Laosi's family: "It's really... well, Zhaojiazhuang is also a stupid place. Why bother to blame an innocent woman!" "Furthermore, the old Zhao Dawang and his wife are also trying to have a good son-in-law, so they are so confused that they let their daughter make mistakes... Can this thing be hidden for a while, or for a lifetime?" Ding Tian was very He asked Wang Zuo incomprehension: "What do you think they are thinking?"

what? "

"Stupid people, what can you think?" Wang Zuo is not interested in this kind of thing, but it is quite interesting to see Ding Tian's angry look: "Why are you angry? You want to make Zhao Laosi and his life very good Let those people regret driving them out, and they will kneel on the ground and beg Zhao Laosi and his family to go back, and if they don't go back, then it will be relieved!"

Ding Tian bit the chopsticks: "You have such a strong desire for revenge..."

Wang Zuo looked up at him: "Huh?"

"However, I like it!" Ding Tian Dale, his face full of eagerness to move: "Let's think about it... I have to let Zhao's family have a living first, and then talk about making a fortune. Life is prosperous, Get mad at those people!"

Wang Zuo just ate and nodded: "Yeah...well...whatever...you can do whatever you like...."

What Ding Tian said at the dining table was spitting, and Wang Fugui couldn't bear to watch it anymore, he spit out his saliva... Then he discovered to his horror that the prince didn't dislike him at all, and he ate as usual.

Wang Fugui lowered his head silently, and recalled, the last time the person who accidentally got excited and sprayed a little saliva on the prince's dining table, how tall is the grass on the grave now?

After dinner, and strolling around in the yard, Ding Tian lay down on the grape trellis and looked at it: "These grapes will be harvested next year."

Can you eat it? "

"The next year?" Wang Zuo wasn't sure either, as neither of them were expected to farm.

The next day, Ding Tian arranged for Mrs. Zhao to go to the dim sum shop to help. As for Ms. Zhao Zhang, she was clever enough to take care of the children at home.

What's more, her hand embroidery is really good.

Mr. Zhao is a big man with plenty of strength. Ding Tian arranges for Ma Xiaohua to go to Mr. Zhao's house during the day when he is free. Scared with kids.

Second, I learned embroidery from Zhao Zhang, which is also a craft.

Ma Liu's family stayed at Ding Tian's house, and when the dim sum shop was busy, she would clean up at home, keep company with Aunt Jin, and weave straw slippers at Aunt Jin's house when she was free.

If the dim sum shop is busy, everyone will help.

In summer, I don’t dare to make too many dim sum. The storage time is short. Almost all of them are made on the same day and sold on the same day.

I dare not keep it until the next day, because I am afraid that the taste will change, that it will be spoiled, and that I will spoil my stomach if I sell it to others.

Ding Tian lived these days, just like the weather at this time, full of heat, he thought everything was peaceful, even two days later, he heard that Miss Sun of the Ma family is the grandson of the head of the Ma family Daughter, married to the son of a high-ranking official from Beijing.

The marriage was very fast, and all the process was completed within three days, and then they got married quickly. It is said that the son is going back to Beijing, bringing his new daughter-in-law back to Beijing.

Ding Tian was quite puzzled: "Are you in such a hurry?"

"Hehe." Wang Zuo only gave these two words as an answer.

Ding Tian said depressedly: "Forget it, eat, eat!"

But after a while, Ding Tian couldn't hold back again: "It is said that the Ma family will set up a floating banquet tomorrow, you say, I don't eat, so I will eat the floating banquet tomorrow, how about it? It can save a meal!"

This time it was Wang Zuo who was depressed: "You only care about the cost of the meal?"

How much money can I have left over for a meal?This is all stingy, right?

"No, isn't their family a water mat? Our family has a lot of people, including Cui Jiu, and Zhao Laosi...I heard that their family bought all the pork in Fucheng!" Ding Tian took a sip. Saliva: "There are braised pork, a chicken, scrambled eggs with green onions, and cold vegetables in the flowing water table. The big white steamed buns are full!"

"Really?" Wang Zuo looked at his excitement: "You want to take everyone to eat?"

"You definitely can't go, but I can!" Ding Tian was eager to try: "At that time, go and have a full meal, and then come back...

...how wonderful. "

Wang Zuo rubbed his chin: "It's pretty good..."

Ding Tian always felt that what he said was "very good" and what he said was "very good"... Isn't it the same "good"?

Wang Fugui also thinks what is the prince doing?

Ding Tian honestly said, "Did I go to eat the flowing water banquet that day?"

He told him in advance that he would not come back to cook...

Wang Fugui didn't hold back too much, and asked Wang Zuo: "My lord, you...shouldn't you also eat the flowing water banquet?"

The flowing water banquets set up by wealthy families for weddings are actually just a gimmick. People who go there can say a few auspicious words and congratulate them, and they can sit down and have a glass of wedding wine without accompanying gift money.

There are only four dishes on the flowing water table, big white steamed buns, which are oily and full of flavor, but it is really not a high-end table.Even a person like him wouldn't eat it, let alone a prince.

Not to mention the flowing water mats of rich and noble families, even the flowing water mats in the palace, the prince would not be able to eat them!

"I don't want to eat, you can eat!" Wang Zuo said slowly, "There are so many guards at home, so be frugal and save a meal, it's a meal."

Wang Fugui had a look of lovelessness on his face: "Ding Tian has spoiled you!"

Wang Zuo remained silent, Ding Tian ate seriously....

Wang Fugui was left to worry about...

The Ma family married a daughter in a luxurious and grand manner. The flowing water mats lined the street, and anyone who came could have enough to eat, which showed the confidence of the Ma family.Although the Ma family lost the lawsuit a few days ago and their only reputation as a scholar was dismissed, but this time the Ma family made a big publicity that their family became in-laws with high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Officials in Central Beijing, and everyone in the city knew about it. .

Ding Tian passed by Santang that day and happened to meet Du Zhifu.

"Ding Si prison!" Du Zhifu always smiled when he saw Ding Tian, ​​but this time, Du Zhifu was a little frowning, and the Du master beside him saw Ding Tian, ​​his eyes lit up: "Ding Si prison!"

"My lord, master, who are you two?" Ding Tian felt that it was not like meeting him by chance today, but as if he was waiting for him on purpose.

"Ah, then what, have you heard about the marriage of the Ma family's daughter?" If Du Zhifu is not easy to speak, Master Du can act on his behalf

Open up.

"I heard that the young one is preparing to let the whole family go to eat the flowing water mat. Oh, and the jailers, who don't need to have a holiday, go to the flowing water mat. I heard that there are four dishes, and there are big white steamed buns." Ding Tian made a gesture. : "If you can save some money for the government, you have to save some." After saying this, Du Zhifu was stunned: "Could it be that the supplies in the prison are not enough?"

"It's enough, it's not a lot, but I'm thinking about being frugal." Ding Tianhan smiled: "Also, it is also a happy event for the Ma family to marry a daughter. Let's go to congratulate together, too. The meaning of Tianxi."

In fact, this kind of people who rush to eat are not necessarily popular.

"You!" Du Zhifu shook his head and smiled wryly: "The Ma family's arrogance is soaring now, and maybe they still want to trouble the government."

"That's right!" Master Du was also frowning: "The other party is the son of a third-rank senior official in the capital. It turns out that such a powerful magistrate is evenly matched, but this time he has climbed up the relationship in Beijing, so why not be more presumptuous?"

"Impossible!" Ding Tian vetoed it in one gulp: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is still here!"

"Well, I haven't seen His Highness King Ning alone yet." Prefect Du was a little discouraged: "Your Highness hasn't seen any foreigners either...

 … ,,

The only person I saw was Ding Tian.

"Oh." Ding Tian thought for a while: "Then it's fine if you don't see him. He's in a mess. I can't understand what he says and does. Don't think about the Ma family. No matter how powerful they are, they can have King Ning." Is Your Highness powerful? I heard that His Highness King Ning even beat up the prince, so what is the Ma family?"

What Ding Tian said was very confident, and it also gave Du Zhifu some confidence.

And at dinner in the evening, Ding Tian also told Wang Zuo about Du Zhifu's uneasiness. As a result, the next day, His Highness Prince Ning rewarded Du Zhifu with a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. is the only one.

It's better than Ding Tian's.

Ding Tian's is just for the emperor's use, and the imperial use refers to the things used by the emperor. Maybe the emperor just touched it, but it was also used by the emperor. Even if he only used a little, it is still "imperial use".

There is also a jade pendant, which is said to be from Prince Ning's Mansion. It is crystal clear and worth thousands of gold.

As soon as the two items were sent out, Prefect Du immediately straightened his back, accepted the wedding invitation from Ma's family with full confidence, and went to the wedding banquet when the time came.

Otherwise, Prefect Du didn't intend to go, and he didn't want to go, because there was someone there who was not an official, but had a powerful father.

The suppressed atmosphere in the government office has disappeared.

Until the day when the Ma family married their daughter, there was a grand scene, hundreds of tables of banquets...
