Datang Institute of Technology
Chapter 36
After Xu Changsheng came out of the Guozijian, he really took Brother Changbai to watch the slaughter of pigs.
"This pig must be very fishy." Xu Changsheng said, he was going to buy some, but after seeing it, he gave up the idea. No wonder the ancients said that pork fishy is not good. There is a reason.
Brother Changbai nodded, "Pork is smelly."
"That's not true." Xu Changsheng's eyes flickered, and then he leaned into Brother Changbai's ear, "As long as... this way it won't be smelly."
Brother Changbai opened his eyes wide, and then covered his eyes with two small hands, "Chang... Changsheng, you are talking nonsense."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, he didn't talk nonsense. In ancient times, the smell of pigs was very strong, and even a little wealthier families would not eat them. Moreover, pigs were not big enough, and a pig weighing one hundred catties was already very impressive.
The most fundamental reason is that the pigs of the later generations have been castrated, so that the fishy smell will be much less, and it is no problem for the pigs after castration to grow to two hundred catties. Pork has become one of the most common meats.
Xu Changsheng and Brother Changbai watched the slaughter of pigs with great interest.
Next to him was someone who knew Xu Changsheng, who is now quite famous in Chang'an, "Xu Jiazi, why didn't you go to study, why did you come to watch the slaughter of pigs?"
Xu Changsheng didn't even blink his eyes, "What's good about reading a book, it's more interesting to watch butchering pigs."
The people around looked at each other and thought to themselves, you are a model scholar in Fang Xiang's mouth, if this word gets out... where will Fang Xiang put his face.
Xu Changsheng looked at the slaughtered pigs, and wanted to buy something to eat, but he also hated the smell.
He is rich now, and all the money for selling chicken cubs is in his hands. Uncle Xu Zheng said to keep it for him, but Xu Changsheng insisted on asking for it, because uncle Xu Zheng would keep it, and he would only keep it. I want to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones for him, so how can I buy whatever I want.
If it was an ordinary child who was in charge of so much money, no one would agree, but Xu Changsheng is quite special in Xujia Village, so Xu Zheng agreed after thinking about it.
Xu Changsheng swallowed his saliva, "I really want to eat sliced boiled pork, stir-fried pork with green pepper..."
Brother Changbai was taken aback, "What is that?"
Xu Changsheng didn't answer, thinking, this pork is definitely not good, it seems that he still has to rely on himself.
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, the next oil transport team from Xujia Village is coming to Chang'an, right?
Tsk tsk, do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.
Xu Changsheng ran to Uncle Pig Killer, "Uncle, do you know where there are piglets for sale?"
He was going to let Xujiacun raise a batch of fresh, tender and not fishy pigs. Anyway, Xujiacun had a lot of bean dregs.
The uncle who butchered the pig was taken aback, "What are you doing, Mr. Xiaolang? To tell you the truth, Mr. Xiaolang, my family is in this business, but this business is not easy to do. Pigs eat a lot, but the price is cheap... "
Uncle seems to be a talker.
Xu Changsheng hurriedly interrupted, "I want to buy a little piglet."
Brother Changbai was stunned, "Changchangsheng, the money is for you to study, no way."
Press the book bag firmly, if the grandfather knew that Changsheng used the money to buy pigs, and he didn't stop him, he would be hanged and beaten.
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, there is only a few coins in the book bag, and the money is in the box in the room.
Then he ignored Brother Zhang Bai, "Uncle, quickly take me to see your piglets."
Uncle Pig Killer was a little confused.
The people next to him were also stunned, "Xu Jiazi wants to buy pigs with his school money? This, this, this..."
"I also teach my kid to learn from the Xu family every day."
"If all scholars learn from Xu Jiazi..."
The butcher uncle didn't go to see the literary battle in the Imperial College because he was slaughtering pigs all day long. Hearing this, he was so surprised that he dropped his butcher's knife, "You...you are Xu Jiazi?"
Xu Changsheng nodded. It doesn't matter who he buys the piglets, right?
The pig butcher was trembling, Xu Jiazi didn't study, he just came to see him kill pigs, and now he used the money from studying to buy his piglets.
Xu Changsheng was so angry, "Uncle, don't worry, my family won't say anything about me."
After speaking, he pointed to the uncle who was following in the distance, "If you don't believe me, ask me Uncle Xu, I can make the decision."
The clan uncle hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, Xu Family Village never cared what the little fairy wanted to do, because things that seemed absurd or incomprehensible would become unbelievable in the little fairy's hands.
Only then did the butcher feel relieved. If someone misunderstood that he cheated Xu's family of money for his studies, he probably wouldn't be able to do business.
When he came to the place where the pigs were raised, Xu Changsheng smiled and waved his little hand, "I want them all."
Estimated to be more than 100 piglets.
However, piglets are cheap, but they are also relative, after all, they belong to meat.
Xu Changsheng ran to Uncle Pig Killer again, and slashed at his crotch, "Uncle, I have to trouble you with something, do you know people who have retired from the palace to do this kind of business..."
"At the end of this alley, there is an elderly father-in-law who used to do this business in the palace. I heard that his skills are pretty good."
In the end, Xu Changsheng and Brother Changbai drove a large group of piglets back, walking on the streets of Chang'an, it was really eye-catching.
The news spread all the way, that Xu Jiazi used the money from his studies to buy piglets, and even asked people to castrate all these piglets.
What is Xu Jiazi doing here?
The news spreads to ten, ten to hundreds.
I don't know how many people are so popular that they call it absurd.
"Xu Jiazi is not only crazy, but also known as a prodigal son. Now, he actually... actually did such an unimaginable thing, and castrated a group of little piglets?"
"Xu Jiazi is really... a role model for scholars!"
When the news reached Fang Xiang's mansion, Fang Xuanling was stunned, "I still... don't have Ganoderma lucidum, bring me some quickly."
He felt that if he suffered the misfortune of Xu's family, he would lose decades of life.
When the news reached the palace, Li Shimin's face turned pale. A scholar, a well-known scholar, the key point is that a scholar whom he praised as a great talent in the Tang Dynasty, how could he do eunuch... castration of hundreds of pigs?
He was too embarrassed to say it out, he thought it was impossible for that old guy Tang Jian to jump around the Golden Palace because of the Xu family's affairs, but now it's not necessarily the case.
How could he have done such... such a scandalous and degrading thing.
Of course, Xu Changsheng didn't know these things. He and Brother Changbai were driving a group of piglets to the yard they rented in Tongluo Lane.
Many people who got the news ran out to watch the excitement.
"I heard that Xu Jiazi was a four-year-old child. I was so surprised that the sky was dark. Fortunately, his talent is really amazing. He actually won the Imperial Academy in the literary competition. I just stabilized. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be so long. He actually did such an earth-shattering thing again."
"Who says it's not, the Xu family in my mind has completely collapsed."
Xu Changsheng drove the pig back to the yard, and uncle Xu Zheng got the news, rushed back, and glared at Brother Changbai.
Brother Changbai shrank his head, there was nothing he could do, Changsheng insisted on buying it, and even asked people to castrate the piglets. At that time, he hugged Changsheng's legs to stop it, but it was useless.
Xu Zheng looked at the pigs in the yard, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he walked up to Xu Changsheng, who was jubilantly commenting on a group of piglets, "Changsheng, what are you? Pork smells bad, wait for our funds to turn over a little bit, At that time, we will buy some mutton..."
Xu Changsheng raised his head, "Uncle, other people's pigs are smelly and not tasty, but our pigs are different, not only not fishy but also delicious."
Xu Zheng was taken aback, "Really?"
Xu Changsheng quickly explained, "Yes, not only is it not fishy, but each pig can grow to a hundred fifty or sixty catties anyway."
He said it conservatively.
Xu Zheng's eyes lit up. If the pork was not smelly and he could still grow so big, then this would be a good deal.
Xu Zhengyi gritted his teeth, "Then I'll ask your great-grandfather to spend some more money to buy more piglets. Anyway, the back mountain is so big, raising chickens is a waste."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, this is the best way. In the future, there will be pork in his village, and it is not fishy pork. Thinking about it, he can come up with many ways to eat pork. The popularity rate of pork in later generations is the highest. He will be much better. many.
Xu Changsheng reminded, "When you buy piglets, you must have the piglets eunuched. I think the father-in-law who retired today is pretty good at it."
Xu Zheng: "..."
How can scholars open their mouths and shut their mouths? They still can't let Changsheng handle this matter in the future, they can do it themselves.
He didn't know, it was already too late, the news had already spread throughout Chang'an, the Xu family who had castrated a hundred piglets was well known to everyone.
Such a feat has never happened before, and the degree of shock can be imagined.
Xu Changsheng didn't care about these things now, he was overjoyed.
Now Xujia Village not only raises running pheasants, but also raises pigs, which are self-produced and sold. There will definitely be no problem in eating meat in the future.
Xujia Village is developing in a good direction.
Although the yard they rented is not small, it becomes narrow after driving a hundred pigs in. Xu Zheng frowned, "Fortunately, the oil team will arrive tomorrow, so let them transport the pigs back."
the next day.
Today is Xu Changsheng's last day before going to the Imperial College to study. After today, he can't just run around all day.
It was dawn, and Xu Changsheng hadn't woken up yet, when there were rustling and shouting in the yard.
Xu Changsheng got up from the bed, looked outside, and saw a yard full of children from Xujia Village, all with abacus hanging on their waists making a rattling sound.
It turned out that these children from Xujia Village all came to Chang'an to play with the oil team.
Great-grandfather Xu Wenyuan also had no choice. His grandson, Chang Bai, came to Chang'an, so he couldn't favor one over the other and prevent these children from coming.
Xu Changsheng hurried out.
"Changsheng, Changsheng, we're here to play with you."
"It's no fun if you're not in Xujiacun."
It was all chattering.
Xu Changsheng laughed, and waved his little hand, "My children, I will take you to visit Chang'an today."
He is now considered a half-headed snake?And it was the last day to go to the Imperial College, so he had to have a good day.
Xu Changsheng took his small treasury early in the morning, and then ran into the street with a group of children.
A group of adults from the Xu family smiled helplessly and had no choice but to follow behind.
Today's West Market is almost occupied by a group of children, and the abacus rings all the way.
"Children, are you a dough maker?" Xu Changsheng was like an "upstart".
However, the children in Xujia Village have all come from hardships, and they are more sensible, "That's the money for Changsheng's education, let's just take a look."
"Yeah, it's fun to watch."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, what a bunch of honest kids.
But he made a lot of money selling chicken cubs, so he had to show it.
So a group of people ran to the small stall along the road happily, "Boss, each person has a bowl of gnocchi."
Occupied the entire booth.
The playful children are always very lively and look very cute. Many people cast their gazes from time to time.
Most of the children in Xujia Village have never bought roadside snacks in Chang'an.
Looking forward to the beginning.
only……
"Why is there no oil in this gnocchi?"
"That's right, it's not as much oil as I put in at home."
"Oh, it's delicious to eat gnocchi with a deep-fried pancake."
It made all the spectators laugh, oil is so expensive, of course the boss is reluctant, just a little bit of a bowl.
The boss also wondered, where is this spoiled child?He usually puts oil like this.
Xu Changsheng also ate a bowl, but it was tasteless, so Datang's diet should be like this.
However, despite saying this, no one wasted food, and they ate up to the sky.
"The boss settles the score." Xu Changsheng shouted.
The boss happily ran over, "A bowl of noodles costs 9 Wen. There are 18 of you, and the total is 200 Wen."
It's been a long time since I've had such good business.
Xu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, but before he could speak, the sound of brushing the abacus sounded next to him.
Then a group of children raised their abacus and shook it loudly, "Boss, are you bullying us who are young and can't settle accounts?"
"That's right, it only costs 162 characters."
"It must be seen that we have a lot of people, and we can't settle the bill."
The people around were also stunned, and began to calculate silently.
Then he looked at a group of children in disbelief, "They actually know how to settle accounts, and the speed is so fast."
Some people who don't understand are still asking, "Where do these children come from, they are so good at math at such a young age?"
Some spectators once saw Xu Changsheng from a distance, and said, "Boss, you have to think about it before you talk about the price. These children are all from Xujia Village. Everyone in Chang'an knows how good Xu Jiazi's numerology skills are. These little boys You and the Xu family son came out of the Xu family together, I'm afraid..."
it goes without saying.
The boss was completely embarrassed. He was thinking about how a group of children would know what to calculate, but he didn't expect that all of them would, "Well... look at me, a person who has never studied, I don't know how to calculate the accounts, everyone. Don’t blame me, it’s indeed 162 Wen, I won’t charge you any fraction.”
"Humph."
A group of little ones were extremely proud, "Grandfather is right, people in Chang'an always like to bully us country people."
"The great grandfather also said that when we were selling bean sprouts, some people bullied us and didn't know how to settle accounts, and cheated us of our money."
Xu Changsheng handed over the money without saying anything.
No wonder everyone dislikes businessmen, even those who set up street stalls want to scam children out of money.
In the future, his Xu's supermarket must implement clear price tags, and set an example in this Tang Dynasty, so that everyone knows that buying things in his Xu's supermarket will not be cheated.
Businessmen also do business honestly.
Many people are still interested in the abacus in the hands of a group of children, because just now these children pulled out those beads a few times, and the speed is ridiculously fast, even if it is the accountant for many years. Comparable.
Xu Changsheng was about to lead a group of children to continue wandering, when a child's voice of "ah" came.
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, thinking that something had happened, but when he looked over, he saw a child in Xujia Village hugging the thigh of a sturdy young man and refused to let go.
Looking at it again, Xu Changsheng trembled in fright, because the sturdy young man was followed by a group of guards on horseback.
It was Xujiacun's bastard who hugged his thigh.
Er Dan raised his head and refused to let go, "Catch the thief, the flower thief, woo woo woo, he is the one who stole my fairy grass."
He remembered clearly that it was the person in front of him who stole his flowers.
Recently, Cheng Chumo was shut up at home and thought about his mistakes. He didn't know anything about what happened outside. After finally waiting for him to come out, he immediately wanted to invite Qin Huaiyu to explore that fairyland-like mountain village together.
As a result, while walking on the road, he discovered a remarkable thing.
He actually saw a familiar child eating gnocchi with a big tiger by the side of the road
Really, it's eating gnocchi with a big tiger.
The point is that the person next to him didn't show any surprise at all?
Did anything happen during the days he was in confinement?
Besides, isn't this kid and that big tiger the ones he saw in that strange mountain village?
In his eyes, the mysterious child riding a tiger, whom he thought was a strange child in the mountains, is now swaggeringly eating gnocchi on the side of the road, and the people around him don't have any strange expressions?
Don't they know that the little boy is accompanied by a big tiger?Aren't they surprised?
He got off the horse immediately and ran to ask the people on the side of the road.
In the end, someone looked at him like an idiot, "What's so strange about this? That big bug doesn't bite."
"That's right, it runs on the street every day, and it's aura. As long as you don't mess with it, it will be fine."
Now who doesn't know that the child riding a tiger in Chang'an City is the son of the Xu family, Xu Changsheng?It doesn't matter, if you see a big tiger with you, it must be Xu Jiazi, why does this person come to ask him?
This big tiger also went to the Golden Palace with Xu Jiazi, met His Majesty, and was more knowledgeable than them.
Cheng Chumo was extremely depressed, and he was surprised that he was the only one in Chang'an City?Like encountered something bizarre?Still thinking about sneaking around to investigate?
It turns out that everyone knows it.
Cheng Chumo watched the big tiger and the nonchalant people around him for a long time, and he was going to go up and ask for clarification.
As a result, before he got close, a little head jumped at his feet and hugged him tightly, and kept calling him a thief.
"Flower thief, flower thief, give me back my fairy grass." Erdan was furious. It was this scoundrel who stole the fairy grass that he watered every day to grow and bloom.
The loss of Erdan's jelly grass is a matter of complaint every day among the children of the Xu family, so the children of the Xu family know about it.
In an instant, Cheng Chumo was surrounded by a group of aggressive children.
"You stole Erdan's fairy grass, Erdan cried for several days."
"That's right, you quickly return the grass jelly to Erdan."
Cheng Chumo is the son of Lu Guogong's family, and the guards behind him stepped forward in unison.
Something is about to happen.
Xu Changsheng ran up quickly, and couldn't help being taken aback, didn't he meet this person once on the back mountain, who claimed to be the man from Lu Guogong's mansion?Why don't you steal chickens and run to steal flowers?
Cheng Chumo was surprised, Hua?
Could it be that he and Qin Huaiyu stole...the two pots that they carried back in that small mountain village?
These people should be from that strange mountain village, and they should be talking about those two potted flowers.
Those two pots of flowers are now one in the hands of her mother and the other in the hands of Mrs. Qin. I heard that they can't put it down, and they keep them like treasures every day.
Cheng Chumo saw that the guard behind him was about to make a move, so he waved his hand to make people back off.
At this moment, Xu Changsheng also ran over, Erdan, who was so desperate, didn't see so many people on the other side, and actually hugged other people's thighs for two pots of flowers.
Cheng Chumo was terribly embarrassed, the key is that the kid was right, they did not get other people's consent at the time...
There are more and more people watching the excitement.
While Xu Changsheng went to pull the bastard, he said to Cheng Chumo in a dignified manner, "Xu Changsheng from the Xu family is now studying at the Imperial College. I don't know who you are?"
He still doesn't know the identity of the other party, so he has to pull up the banner as a tiger's skin, which means that he is a person appointed by His Majesty, you can't mess around.
Cheng Chumo glanced at the big tiger next to Xu Changsheng, and then said, "Cheng Chumo of Duke Lu's Mansion."
Cheng Chumo?
It's not Cheng Yaojin's son.
The real second generation of officials.
Erdan is still hugging other people's thighs, and he won't let him go anyway unless he returns the fairy grass. These children in Xujia Village have been living in the mountains and don't know much about the world. Only the children in Chang'an City dare not hug other people's thighs.
Cheng Chumo glanced at more and more people around, and said, "There is a reason for the incident, and now the two potted flowers are not in my hands. If you suggest a way to compensate, I will definitely do it."
He was an upright person, he didn't bully them by virtue of his status, and he didn't deny it.
Er Dan raised his head, tears streaming down his face, "I want my fairy grass."
Cheng Chumo: "..."
It is estimated that if he wants to come back, he will not come back. Now his mother likes that potted flower more than him.
Erdan looked at Xu Changsheng, "Changsheng, tell him to return the fairy grass to me."
Xu Changsheng looked at Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo was extremely embarrassed, "If we change the compensation method, those two potted flowers are indeed out of my hands."
Xu Changsheng looked around, and it was really not good because the two pots of flowers would damage the reputation of the dignified Lu Guogong's son, and in his eyes, the two pots of flowers were really worthless.
Hurry up to coax Erdan, so to speak, give him a few more pots after returning home, Erdan bursts into tears and laughs, hum, he has the most fairy grass now, last time the flower thief stole his flowers, longevity will be given more He had a few pots, and now he has got several pots.
Xu Changsheng looked at Cheng Chumo again, his eyes flickering. He didn't think about what compensation he really wanted, and then glanced at the horses behind Cheng Chumo, and said, "Two potted flowers are not worth much, but if you really can't make it through, you can Can we ride horses?"
They came out to play today, so the Xu family's children can have a good time, and Cheng Chumo doesn't have to worry about it.
Going against the young master of Lu Guofu for two pots of flowers, that's a pimple on the head, so it's not a good time to settle the suspicion.
There is only one old cow in Xujia Village, who has never ridden a horse before. The eyes of a group of children lit up when they heard this.
Cheng Chumo took a look at Xu Changsheng, he thought that ordinary children were more self-willed.
He replied, "Okay."
It just so happens that he has a lot of questions about Nake Village, so he can ask them by the way.
The children in Xujia Village yelled, "There are horses to ride and pull."
After all, they are a group of children, and they don't have too many hatreds or grievances.
Xu Changsheng happily went looking for a horse, but Dabai bit his trousers and tore them off. He insisted on not letting him ride a horse, so he had to ride Dabai and follow him.
The people around saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, so they dispersed.
Cheng Chumo walked to Xu Changsheng who was riding a big tiger, "Are you really not a ghost?"
Xu Changsheng looked at Cheng Chumo who was asking questions seriously, you are the ghost, why are you a pseudoscience.
Sigh, not only Xujia Village, but people in Datang are so superstitious.
After sighing, Xu Changsheng raised his head again. In the future, he will overthrow all these pseudosciences and never stand up again.
However, before the great ideal, he had to save the lost lamb next to him, "Where is there any ghost in this world? Everything can be explained by science. Listen clearly, science and science."
He will hang up these pseudo-scientists in the future to listen to him chanting scriptures, no, to listen to his lectures.
Cheng Chumo was taken aback, "Science?"
Do not understand.
Xu Changsheng's head drooped, and he still has a long way to go. Forget it, he is now in the Imperial College, and the place where he preaches at the gate of the Imperial College is a good place. He will spread basic common sense to these pseudo-scientists in the future.
Let him speak one by one, he is really powerless.
Cheng Chumo was like a troubled boy, "What's the matter with your Xujia Village? I've never seen a house like that, or a road like that."
Xu Changsheng scratched his head, it was just a modern community, really.
"When you have time to invite you to play in our Xujia Village, you will know."
Let them see it for themselves and they will understand. There is nothing unusual, but Luping's house is beautiful and solid, and the environment is good.
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll invite a few of my best buddies to come together and let them learn a lot."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, you really don't treat yourself as an outsider, and Xujia Village is not a shameful place, and replied, "You are welcome anytime."
The brats in Xujia Village rode horses, with the guards on their side, not afraid at all, on the contrary they were very strange, laughing all the way.
However, these children are going back to Xujia Village with the oil team. After playing for a long time, they are ready to go back to the small courtyard they rented and wait.
Cheng Chumo kept saying beside him, we made an appointment to go to your Xujia Village at that time, as if I was afraid that Xu Changsheng would run away.
Xu Changsheng kept saying that he was studying in the Imperial College, and when he was free, he would go back to Xujia Village, and he would definitely be called.
A group of children rode back to the small courtyard, and Xu Changsheng felt that Cheng Chumo must have come to scout the way.
Hey, he said that he would not disappear suddenly like a monster, so why didn't he listen.
Entering the small courtyard, Xu Changsheng was stunned.
Because the courtyard is full of... bean dregs.
Uncle Xu Zheng came out, "Changsheng, I was just about to find you. Your great-grandfather brought all the bean dregs to Chang'an, and asked if you have any way to deal with it. If it doesn't work, sell it at a low price, or it will be broken." gone."
"Also, your great grandfather is familiar with the things you grow in the valley, and he didn't know what they were used for, so he brought you some."
Xu Changsheng was overjoyed, and ran into the house instead of caring about the bean dregs.
There were several large packages piled up in the room.
Open it up and take a look.
Isn't it the onion, ginger and garlic he planted, and the red devil pepper.
Zanthoxylum pepper grows slowly and has not yet been harvested.
Haha, his seasoning.
Finally, I can finally say goodbye to the big pot of dishes that are either steamed or boiled.
Datang's cooking is mostly steamed and boiled, and the taste is very simple. The fried bean sprouts were taught by Xu Changsheng to his uncle.
Xu Changsheng was so happy that he almost rushed forward.
Xu Zheng looked funny, isn't it just some inexplicable plants?Are you that excited?
Xu Zheng said, "Changsheng, let's think about how to deal with those bean dregs, otherwise it will be so bad that no one will even sell it to others to raise pigs."
Xu Changsheng thought about it, those bean dregs were actually just squeezed oil, and there were a lot of valuable things in it, it would be too wasteful to directly feed pigs and chickens.
He looked at his onion, ginger, garlic and devil pepper again, his eyes twinkled, "Yes."
Xu Zheng was taken aback, so fast.
Xu Changsheng laughed, "I thought about what to eat tonight. Let's eat white and tender bean curd tonight."
Xu Zheng: "..."
The thinking is too detached, isn't it talking about how to deal with the problem of these bean dregs?
Xu Changsheng has sent someone to buy some alkali for tofu at the pharmacy. Alkali was a kind of medicine in the past, and the pharmacy sold it.
It happened that a group of children from Xujia Village were also there, and asked them to help peel garlic and chop sea pepper.
The whole yard became lively.
"Oh, my eyes, what is this, it hurts so much."
"Don't rub your eyes with your hands."
The uncle next to him also prepared two big pots.
Hearing that Xu Changsheng was making a kind of food called bean curd, the uncles of the Xu family had already rushed over.
They don't know what tofu curd is, but which one can be bad if the little fairy makes it?
The bean dregs are directly wrapped in clean cloth and filtered with water.
After filtering several times, it is really bean dregs.
Then pour water into the pot and cook.
A group of clan uncles looked at each other, what is Changsheng doing?boil water?
Xu Changsheng laughed loudly, "Just wait."
After a while, the water began to turn white, like milk.
"Add some cold water and stir slowly so that it doesn't get mushy." Xu Changsheng instructed.
It does have some bean flavor, but it is still a pot of water.
Xu Changsheng smiled, "I'll show you something arrogant."
Xu Changsheng was hugged by someone, and he poured a bowl of alkaline water into the pot.
A pot of water seems to be solidified, the white substance gathers, and then becomes white, tender and beautiful.
Brother Changbai suddenly covered his mouth, Chang... Changsheng turned a pot of boiling water into snow?
How to do how to do?He is going to call out, it must be the immortal art of longevity.
But if he dared to call out, Changsheng would definitely beat him.
The eyes flickered.
Even the clan uncles around showed surprised expressions, it was clearly a pot of water just now.
This thing as white as snow is the bean curd that Changsheng said?
When Xu Changsheng saw that it was almost done, he asked someone to heat up the soybean oil, and then poured it into the large pot of ginger, garlic and chili that they had pounded just now.
The chili oil was a success!
Look at the red color, so festive.
The bowls have been taken out, there must not be so many tables, so let's eat standing up.
Xu Changsheng filled a bowl of fresh and tender tofu, dipped it in a little chili oil, and looked at the eager children and uncles around him, "This is bean curd, and the bean curd should be eaten with red chili oil."
Put it in your mouth.
Eyes are narrowed, the familiar taste is great.
He likes to eat bean curd best.
A group of children started to swallow their saliva in a hurry, because Xu Changsheng's expression was so embarrassing.
Xu Changsheng opened his eyes, "What are you looking at me for? Eat and be full."
wow.
A group of people started to work. Anyway, there is a lot of bean dregs, so there is no fear of not enough.
The snow-white tofu is spotlessly clean, stained with red chili oil, it is so beautiful that it is almost hard to eat it.
The feeling of melting in the mouth is simply not too delicious.
Especially the dipping sauce, no one in Datang has ever tasted such a rich taste.
Each one showed a look of enjoyment.
"It's... really delicious, even better than fried bean cakes." Brother Changbai said.
"That's it."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
It turns out that in their hearts, fried bean cakes are the best?
A bunch of poor kids.
Even a group of uncles are full of praise.
But not long after, a group of people "hissed" while eating, especially Brother Changbai, who kept his mouth open and stuck out his tongue.
"You should use less seasoning, I don't think it will spoil you." Xu Changsheng said.
"No, I want to be this spicy." Brother Changbai shook his head.
This kid is actually a spicy eater.
Others already know how powerful it is, and they are all less involved.
Datang also has peppers, but they are all used for medicinal purposes.
Xu Changsheng was afraid that everyone would not be able to handle such a spicy thing for the first time, so there were not many peppers in the chili oil.
But even if it wasn't much, the so-called devil's hot pepper was hot enough for them.
A group of people ate "hissing" with relish.
The two big pots were really not enough to eat, and two pots were added.
The remaining part of the bean curd was used by Xu Changsheng to make tofu.
Dried spicy tofu, cut into strips, and then dipped in some spicy oil, is definitely the best snack in Datang.
Uncle Xu Zheng was eating two big bowls, then he put down the bowl and started to talk about business, "Changsheng, you haven't said how to deal with these bean dregs?"
Xu Changsheng pointed to the bowl, "Uncle, how do you think the bean curd tastes better than the noodles?"
"It must be good, and it's clean and beautiful. Even a wealthy family may not be able to refuse such elegant food."
Xu Changsheng burst into laughter, "We have so much bean dregs, I'm sure we can't use them up, but we can't afford to sell them to others, why don't we rent a place to sell tofu curds, and the bean curds can also be made into spicy dried bean curd, which can be preserved properly , let our Xu Family Supermarket sell it.”
Xu Changsheng handed the uncle a piece of dried tofu, "Do you think our dried tofu curds will have no market compared to gnocchi and sesame seed cakes?"
Uncle took a bite of the dried tofu, it tasted really good, and the price was right, so he would definitely sell it.
Xu Changsheng plans to rent a place to sell bean curds, but he actually has his own ideas. Now that his ingredients have basically come out, if he has a place for catering, he can eat whatever he wants.
In addition, Xu's supermarket only sells oil, which is too monotonous. Isn't it still strange how the place that sells oil is called a supermarket?
He just happened to add new products to Xu's Supermarket, and hold a new product launch event?At that time, put the dried tofu cut into small pieces on a plate, and provide toothpicks for everyone to taste for free, perfect!
He once said in the Golden Palace that the Xujia supermarket should be opened in all ten ways of the Tang Dynasty, throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can eat cheap and good oil, so that Li Er can benefit the country and the people. Since the words benefiting the country and the people are engraved on the door plaque, it is impossible to wait for others to point at the door plaque and scold him for deceiving the world and stealing his name.
What would it take to open a Xujia supermarket in Datang?
Money, lots of money.
Xu Changsheng wanted to open a restaurant, not only to satisfy his appetite, but also because it was a way to make money.
With money, he can improve the living standard of Xujia Village, and with money, he can open Xujia supermarkets all over the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, this is complementary, the more Xujia supermarkets open, the more money they make.
Xu Zheng thought for a while, and it was indeed a good business. Just bean curd, his family's unique business, would definitely make money, and bean dregs really needed a way to deal with it.
Xu Zheng said, "I'll have someone go back and tell your great grandfather, it will only take a day or two."
After all, it was a big deal, so we had to tell the real head of Xujia Village.
Xu Changsheng nodded, and then pointed to the pile of filtered bean dregs, "Let's transport these bean dregs back to feed the chickens and pigs. Use up everything, if you really can't feed them all, then raise more pigs, so the pigs can eat them."
Xu Zheng: "..."
The oil team of Xujia Village went back a little late today, and brought back some bean dregs filtered out after making bean curd, and a group of piglets.
A group of children said goodbye to Xu Changsheng reluctantly, "Changsheng, we will help you take care of those fairy grasses and fairy trees."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
He doesn't want to talk, pseudoscience, he is now studying in the Imperial College,
"This pig must be very fishy." Xu Changsheng said, he was going to buy some, but after seeing it, he gave up the idea. No wonder the ancients said that pork fishy is not good. There is a reason.
Brother Changbai nodded, "Pork is smelly."
"That's not true." Xu Changsheng's eyes flickered, and then he leaned into Brother Changbai's ear, "As long as... this way it won't be smelly."
Brother Changbai opened his eyes wide, and then covered his eyes with two small hands, "Chang... Changsheng, you are talking nonsense."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, he didn't talk nonsense. In ancient times, the smell of pigs was very strong, and even a little wealthier families would not eat them. Moreover, pigs were not big enough, and a pig weighing one hundred catties was already very impressive.
The most fundamental reason is that the pigs of the later generations have been castrated, so that the fishy smell will be much less, and it is no problem for the pigs after castration to grow to two hundred catties. Pork has become one of the most common meats.
Xu Changsheng and Brother Changbai watched the slaughter of pigs with great interest.
Next to him was someone who knew Xu Changsheng, who is now quite famous in Chang'an, "Xu Jiazi, why didn't you go to study, why did you come to watch the slaughter of pigs?"
Xu Changsheng didn't even blink his eyes, "What's good about reading a book, it's more interesting to watch butchering pigs."
The people around looked at each other and thought to themselves, you are a model scholar in Fang Xiang's mouth, if this word gets out... where will Fang Xiang put his face.
Xu Changsheng looked at the slaughtered pigs, and wanted to buy something to eat, but he also hated the smell.
He is rich now, and all the money for selling chicken cubs is in his hands. Uncle Xu Zheng said to keep it for him, but Xu Changsheng insisted on asking for it, because uncle Xu Zheng would keep it, and he would only keep it. I want to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones for him, so how can I buy whatever I want.
If it was an ordinary child who was in charge of so much money, no one would agree, but Xu Changsheng is quite special in Xujia Village, so Xu Zheng agreed after thinking about it.
Xu Changsheng swallowed his saliva, "I really want to eat sliced boiled pork, stir-fried pork with green pepper..."
Brother Changbai was taken aback, "What is that?"
Xu Changsheng didn't answer, thinking, this pork is definitely not good, it seems that he still has to rely on himself.
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, the next oil transport team from Xujia Village is coming to Chang'an, right?
Tsk tsk, do it yourself and have enough food and clothing.
Xu Changsheng ran to Uncle Pig Killer, "Uncle, do you know where there are piglets for sale?"
He was going to let Xujiacun raise a batch of fresh, tender and not fishy pigs. Anyway, Xujiacun had a lot of bean dregs.
The uncle who butchered the pig was taken aback, "What are you doing, Mr. Xiaolang? To tell you the truth, Mr. Xiaolang, my family is in this business, but this business is not easy to do. Pigs eat a lot, but the price is cheap... "
Uncle seems to be a talker.
Xu Changsheng hurriedly interrupted, "I want to buy a little piglet."
Brother Changbai was stunned, "Changchangsheng, the money is for you to study, no way."
Press the book bag firmly, if the grandfather knew that Changsheng used the money to buy pigs, and he didn't stop him, he would be hanged and beaten.
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, there is only a few coins in the book bag, and the money is in the box in the room.
Then he ignored Brother Zhang Bai, "Uncle, quickly take me to see your piglets."
Uncle Pig Killer was a little confused.
The people next to him were also stunned, "Xu Jiazi wants to buy pigs with his school money? This, this, this..."
"I also teach my kid to learn from the Xu family every day."
"If all scholars learn from Xu Jiazi..."
The butcher uncle didn't go to see the literary battle in the Imperial College because he was slaughtering pigs all day long. Hearing this, he was so surprised that he dropped his butcher's knife, "You...you are Xu Jiazi?"
Xu Changsheng nodded. It doesn't matter who he buys the piglets, right?
The pig butcher was trembling, Xu Jiazi didn't study, he just came to see him kill pigs, and now he used the money from studying to buy his piglets.
Xu Changsheng was so angry, "Uncle, don't worry, my family won't say anything about me."
After speaking, he pointed to the uncle who was following in the distance, "If you don't believe me, ask me Uncle Xu, I can make the decision."
The clan uncle hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, Xu Family Village never cared what the little fairy wanted to do, because things that seemed absurd or incomprehensible would become unbelievable in the little fairy's hands.
Only then did the butcher feel relieved. If someone misunderstood that he cheated Xu's family of money for his studies, he probably wouldn't be able to do business.
When he came to the place where the pigs were raised, Xu Changsheng smiled and waved his little hand, "I want them all."
Estimated to be more than 100 piglets.
However, piglets are cheap, but they are also relative, after all, they belong to meat.
Xu Changsheng ran to Uncle Pig Killer again, and slashed at his crotch, "Uncle, I have to trouble you with something, do you know people who have retired from the palace to do this kind of business..."
"At the end of this alley, there is an elderly father-in-law who used to do this business in the palace. I heard that his skills are pretty good."
In the end, Xu Changsheng and Brother Changbai drove a large group of piglets back, walking on the streets of Chang'an, it was really eye-catching.
The news spread all the way, that Xu Jiazi used the money from his studies to buy piglets, and even asked people to castrate all these piglets.
What is Xu Jiazi doing here?
The news spreads to ten, ten to hundreds.
I don't know how many people are so popular that they call it absurd.
"Xu Jiazi is not only crazy, but also known as a prodigal son. Now, he actually... actually did such an unimaginable thing, and castrated a group of little piglets?"
"Xu Jiazi is really... a role model for scholars!"
When the news reached Fang Xiang's mansion, Fang Xuanling was stunned, "I still... don't have Ganoderma lucidum, bring me some quickly."
He felt that if he suffered the misfortune of Xu's family, he would lose decades of life.
When the news reached the palace, Li Shimin's face turned pale. A scholar, a well-known scholar, the key point is that a scholar whom he praised as a great talent in the Tang Dynasty, how could he do eunuch... castration of hundreds of pigs?
He was too embarrassed to say it out, he thought it was impossible for that old guy Tang Jian to jump around the Golden Palace because of the Xu family's affairs, but now it's not necessarily the case.
How could he have done such... such a scandalous and degrading thing.
Of course, Xu Changsheng didn't know these things. He and Brother Changbai were driving a group of piglets to the yard they rented in Tongluo Lane.
Many people who got the news ran out to watch the excitement.
"I heard that Xu Jiazi was a four-year-old child. I was so surprised that the sky was dark. Fortunately, his talent is really amazing. He actually won the Imperial Academy in the literary competition. I just stabilized. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be so long. He actually did such an earth-shattering thing again."
"Who says it's not, the Xu family in my mind has completely collapsed."
Xu Changsheng drove the pig back to the yard, and uncle Xu Zheng got the news, rushed back, and glared at Brother Changbai.
Brother Changbai shrank his head, there was nothing he could do, Changsheng insisted on buying it, and even asked people to castrate the piglets. At that time, he hugged Changsheng's legs to stop it, but it was useless.
Xu Zheng looked at the pigs in the yard, the corners of his mouth twitched, and then he walked up to Xu Changsheng, who was jubilantly commenting on a group of piglets, "Changsheng, what are you? Pork smells bad, wait for our funds to turn over a little bit, At that time, we will buy some mutton..."
Xu Changsheng raised his head, "Uncle, other people's pigs are smelly and not tasty, but our pigs are different, not only not fishy but also delicious."
Xu Zheng was taken aback, "Really?"
Xu Changsheng quickly explained, "Yes, not only is it not fishy, but each pig can grow to a hundred fifty or sixty catties anyway."
He said it conservatively.
Xu Zheng's eyes lit up. If the pork was not smelly and he could still grow so big, then this would be a good deal.
Xu Zhengyi gritted his teeth, "Then I'll ask your great-grandfather to spend some more money to buy more piglets. Anyway, the back mountain is so big, raising chickens is a waste."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, this is the best way. In the future, there will be pork in his village, and it is not fishy pork. Thinking about it, he can come up with many ways to eat pork. The popularity rate of pork in later generations is the highest. He will be much better. many.
Xu Changsheng reminded, "When you buy piglets, you must have the piglets eunuched. I think the father-in-law who retired today is pretty good at it."
Xu Zheng: "..."
How can scholars open their mouths and shut their mouths? They still can't let Changsheng handle this matter in the future, they can do it themselves.
He didn't know, it was already too late, the news had already spread throughout Chang'an, the Xu family who had castrated a hundred piglets was well known to everyone.
Such a feat has never happened before, and the degree of shock can be imagined.
Xu Changsheng didn't care about these things now, he was overjoyed.
Now Xujia Village not only raises running pheasants, but also raises pigs, which are self-produced and sold. There will definitely be no problem in eating meat in the future.
Xujia Village is developing in a good direction.
Although the yard they rented is not small, it becomes narrow after driving a hundred pigs in. Xu Zheng frowned, "Fortunately, the oil team will arrive tomorrow, so let them transport the pigs back."
the next day.
Today is Xu Changsheng's last day before going to the Imperial College to study. After today, he can't just run around all day.
It was dawn, and Xu Changsheng hadn't woken up yet, when there were rustling and shouting in the yard.
Xu Changsheng got up from the bed, looked outside, and saw a yard full of children from Xujia Village, all with abacus hanging on their waists making a rattling sound.
It turned out that these children from Xujia Village all came to Chang'an to play with the oil team.
Great-grandfather Xu Wenyuan also had no choice. His grandson, Chang Bai, came to Chang'an, so he couldn't favor one over the other and prevent these children from coming.
Xu Changsheng hurried out.
"Changsheng, Changsheng, we're here to play with you."
"It's no fun if you're not in Xujiacun."
It was all chattering.
Xu Changsheng laughed, and waved his little hand, "My children, I will take you to visit Chang'an today."
He is now considered a half-headed snake?And it was the last day to go to the Imperial College, so he had to have a good day.
Xu Changsheng took his small treasury early in the morning, and then ran into the street with a group of children.
A group of adults from the Xu family smiled helplessly and had no choice but to follow behind.
Today's West Market is almost occupied by a group of children, and the abacus rings all the way.
"Children, are you a dough maker?" Xu Changsheng was like an "upstart".
However, the children in Xujia Village have all come from hardships, and they are more sensible, "That's the money for Changsheng's education, let's just take a look."
"Yeah, it's fun to watch."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, what a bunch of honest kids.
But he made a lot of money selling chicken cubs, so he had to show it.
So a group of people ran to the small stall along the road happily, "Boss, each person has a bowl of gnocchi."
Occupied the entire booth.
The playful children are always very lively and look very cute. Many people cast their gazes from time to time.
Most of the children in Xujia Village have never bought roadside snacks in Chang'an.
Looking forward to the beginning.
only……
"Why is there no oil in this gnocchi?"
"That's right, it's not as much oil as I put in at home."
"Oh, it's delicious to eat gnocchi with a deep-fried pancake."
It made all the spectators laugh, oil is so expensive, of course the boss is reluctant, just a little bit of a bowl.
The boss also wondered, where is this spoiled child?He usually puts oil like this.
Xu Changsheng also ate a bowl, but it was tasteless, so Datang's diet should be like this.
However, despite saying this, no one wasted food, and they ate up to the sky.
"The boss settles the score." Xu Changsheng shouted.
The boss happily ran over, "A bowl of noodles costs 9 Wen. There are 18 of you, and the total is 200 Wen."
It's been a long time since I've had such good business.
Xu Changsheng was taken aback for a moment, but before he could speak, the sound of brushing the abacus sounded next to him.
Then a group of children raised their abacus and shook it loudly, "Boss, are you bullying us who are young and can't settle accounts?"
"That's right, it only costs 162 characters."
"It must be seen that we have a lot of people, and we can't settle the bill."
The people around were also stunned, and began to calculate silently.
Then he looked at a group of children in disbelief, "They actually know how to settle accounts, and the speed is so fast."
Some people who don't understand are still asking, "Where do these children come from, they are so good at math at such a young age?"
Some spectators once saw Xu Changsheng from a distance, and said, "Boss, you have to think about it before you talk about the price. These children are all from Xujia Village. Everyone in Chang'an knows how good Xu Jiazi's numerology skills are. These little boys You and the Xu family son came out of the Xu family together, I'm afraid..."
it goes without saying.
The boss was completely embarrassed. He was thinking about how a group of children would know what to calculate, but he didn't expect that all of them would, "Well... look at me, a person who has never studied, I don't know how to calculate the accounts, everyone. Don’t blame me, it’s indeed 162 Wen, I won’t charge you any fraction.”
"Humph."
A group of little ones were extremely proud, "Grandfather is right, people in Chang'an always like to bully us country people."
"The great grandfather also said that when we were selling bean sprouts, some people bullied us and didn't know how to settle accounts, and cheated us of our money."
Xu Changsheng handed over the money without saying anything.
No wonder everyone dislikes businessmen, even those who set up street stalls want to scam children out of money.
In the future, his Xu's supermarket must implement clear price tags, and set an example in this Tang Dynasty, so that everyone knows that buying things in his Xu's supermarket will not be cheated.
Businessmen also do business honestly.
Many people are still interested in the abacus in the hands of a group of children, because just now these children pulled out those beads a few times, and the speed is ridiculously fast, even if it is the accountant for many years. Comparable.
Xu Changsheng was about to lead a group of children to continue wandering, when a child's voice of "ah" came.
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, thinking that something had happened, but when he looked over, he saw a child in Xujia Village hugging the thigh of a sturdy young man and refused to let go.
Looking at it again, Xu Changsheng trembled in fright, because the sturdy young man was followed by a group of guards on horseback.
It was Xujiacun's bastard who hugged his thigh.
Er Dan raised his head and refused to let go, "Catch the thief, the flower thief, woo woo woo, he is the one who stole my fairy grass."
He remembered clearly that it was the person in front of him who stole his flowers.
Recently, Cheng Chumo was shut up at home and thought about his mistakes. He didn't know anything about what happened outside. After finally waiting for him to come out, he immediately wanted to invite Qin Huaiyu to explore that fairyland-like mountain village together.
As a result, while walking on the road, he discovered a remarkable thing.
He actually saw a familiar child eating gnocchi with a big tiger by the side of the road
Really, it's eating gnocchi with a big tiger.
The point is that the person next to him didn't show any surprise at all?
Did anything happen during the days he was in confinement?
Besides, isn't this kid and that big tiger the ones he saw in that strange mountain village?
In his eyes, the mysterious child riding a tiger, whom he thought was a strange child in the mountains, is now swaggeringly eating gnocchi on the side of the road, and the people around him don't have any strange expressions?
Don't they know that the little boy is accompanied by a big tiger?Aren't they surprised?
He got off the horse immediately and ran to ask the people on the side of the road.
In the end, someone looked at him like an idiot, "What's so strange about this? That big bug doesn't bite."
"That's right, it runs on the street every day, and it's aura. As long as you don't mess with it, it will be fine."
Now who doesn't know that the child riding a tiger in Chang'an City is the son of the Xu family, Xu Changsheng?It doesn't matter, if you see a big tiger with you, it must be Xu Jiazi, why does this person come to ask him?
This big tiger also went to the Golden Palace with Xu Jiazi, met His Majesty, and was more knowledgeable than them.
Cheng Chumo was extremely depressed, and he was surprised that he was the only one in Chang'an City?Like encountered something bizarre?Still thinking about sneaking around to investigate?
It turns out that everyone knows it.
Cheng Chumo watched the big tiger and the nonchalant people around him for a long time, and he was going to go up and ask for clarification.
As a result, before he got close, a little head jumped at his feet and hugged him tightly, and kept calling him a thief.
"Flower thief, flower thief, give me back my fairy grass." Erdan was furious. It was this scoundrel who stole the fairy grass that he watered every day to grow and bloom.
The loss of Erdan's jelly grass is a matter of complaint every day among the children of the Xu family, so the children of the Xu family know about it.
In an instant, Cheng Chumo was surrounded by a group of aggressive children.
"You stole Erdan's fairy grass, Erdan cried for several days."
"That's right, you quickly return the grass jelly to Erdan."
Cheng Chumo is the son of Lu Guogong's family, and the guards behind him stepped forward in unison.
Something is about to happen.
Xu Changsheng ran up quickly, and couldn't help being taken aback, didn't he meet this person once on the back mountain, who claimed to be the man from Lu Guogong's mansion?Why don't you steal chickens and run to steal flowers?
Cheng Chumo was surprised, Hua?
Could it be that he and Qin Huaiyu stole...the two pots that they carried back in that small mountain village?
These people should be from that strange mountain village, and they should be talking about those two potted flowers.
Those two pots of flowers are now one in the hands of her mother and the other in the hands of Mrs. Qin. I heard that they can't put it down, and they keep them like treasures every day.
Cheng Chumo saw that the guard behind him was about to make a move, so he waved his hand to make people back off.
At this moment, Xu Changsheng also ran over, Erdan, who was so desperate, didn't see so many people on the other side, and actually hugged other people's thighs for two pots of flowers.
Cheng Chumo was terribly embarrassed, the key is that the kid was right, they did not get other people's consent at the time...
There are more and more people watching the excitement.
While Xu Changsheng went to pull the bastard, he said to Cheng Chumo in a dignified manner, "Xu Changsheng from the Xu family is now studying at the Imperial College. I don't know who you are?"
He still doesn't know the identity of the other party, so he has to pull up the banner as a tiger's skin, which means that he is a person appointed by His Majesty, you can't mess around.
Cheng Chumo glanced at the big tiger next to Xu Changsheng, and then said, "Cheng Chumo of Duke Lu's Mansion."
Cheng Chumo?
It's not Cheng Yaojin's son.
The real second generation of officials.
Erdan is still hugging other people's thighs, and he won't let him go anyway unless he returns the fairy grass. These children in Xujia Village have been living in the mountains and don't know much about the world. Only the children in Chang'an City dare not hug other people's thighs.
Cheng Chumo glanced at more and more people around, and said, "There is a reason for the incident, and now the two potted flowers are not in my hands. If you suggest a way to compensate, I will definitely do it."
He was an upright person, he didn't bully them by virtue of his status, and he didn't deny it.
Er Dan raised his head, tears streaming down his face, "I want my fairy grass."
Cheng Chumo: "..."
It is estimated that if he wants to come back, he will not come back. Now his mother likes that potted flower more than him.
Erdan looked at Xu Changsheng, "Changsheng, tell him to return the fairy grass to me."
Xu Changsheng looked at Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo was extremely embarrassed, "If we change the compensation method, those two potted flowers are indeed out of my hands."
Xu Changsheng looked around, and it was really not good because the two pots of flowers would damage the reputation of the dignified Lu Guogong's son, and in his eyes, the two pots of flowers were really worthless.
Hurry up to coax Erdan, so to speak, give him a few more pots after returning home, Erdan bursts into tears and laughs, hum, he has the most fairy grass now, last time the flower thief stole his flowers, longevity will be given more He had a few pots, and now he has got several pots.
Xu Changsheng looked at Cheng Chumo again, his eyes flickering. He didn't think about what compensation he really wanted, and then glanced at the horses behind Cheng Chumo, and said, "Two potted flowers are not worth much, but if you really can't make it through, you can Can we ride horses?"
They came out to play today, so the Xu family's children can have a good time, and Cheng Chumo doesn't have to worry about it.
Going against the young master of Lu Guofu for two pots of flowers, that's a pimple on the head, so it's not a good time to settle the suspicion.
There is only one old cow in Xujia Village, who has never ridden a horse before. The eyes of a group of children lit up when they heard this.
Cheng Chumo took a look at Xu Changsheng, he thought that ordinary children were more self-willed.
He replied, "Okay."
It just so happens that he has a lot of questions about Nake Village, so he can ask them by the way.
The children in Xujia Village yelled, "There are horses to ride and pull."
After all, they are a group of children, and they don't have too many hatreds or grievances.
Xu Changsheng happily went looking for a horse, but Dabai bit his trousers and tore them off. He insisted on not letting him ride a horse, so he had to ride Dabai and follow him.
The people around saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, so they dispersed.
Cheng Chumo walked to Xu Changsheng who was riding a big tiger, "Are you really not a ghost?"
Xu Changsheng looked at Cheng Chumo who was asking questions seriously, you are the ghost, why are you a pseudoscience.
Sigh, not only Xujia Village, but people in Datang are so superstitious.
After sighing, Xu Changsheng raised his head again. In the future, he will overthrow all these pseudosciences and never stand up again.
However, before the great ideal, he had to save the lost lamb next to him, "Where is there any ghost in this world? Everything can be explained by science. Listen clearly, science and science."
He will hang up these pseudo-scientists in the future to listen to him chanting scriptures, no, to listen to his lectures.
Cheng Chumo was taken aback, "Science?"
Do not understand.
Xu Changsheng's head drooped, and he still has a long way to go. Forget it, he is now in the Imperial College, and the place where he preaches at the gate of the Imperial College is a good place. He will spread basic common sense to these pseudo-scientists in the future.
Let him speak one by one, he is really powerless.
Cheng Chumo was like a troubled boy, "What's the matter with your Xujia Village? I've never seen a house like that, or a road like that."
Xu Changsheng scratched his head, it was just a modern community, really.
"When you have time to invite you to play in our Xujia Village, you will know."
Let them see it for themselves and they will understand. There is nothing unusual, but Luping's house is beautiful and solid, and the environment is good.
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up, "Okay, I'll invite a few of my best buddies to come together and let them learn a lot."
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, you really don't treat yourself as an outsider, and Xujia Village is not a shameful place, and replied, "You are welcome anytime."
The brats in Xujia Village rode horses, with the guards on their side, not afraid at all, on the contrary they were very strange, laughing all the way.
However, these children are going back to Xujia Village with the oil team. After playing for a long time, they are ready to go back to the small courtyard they rented and wait.
Cheng Chumo kept saying beside him, we made an appointment to go to your Xujia Village at that time, as if I was afraid that Xu Changsheng would run away.
Xu Changsheng kept saying that he was studying in the Imperial College, and when he was free, he would go back to Xujia Village, and he would definitely be called.
A group of children rode back to the small courtyard, and Xu Changsheng felt that Cheng Chumo must have come to scout the way.
Hey, he said that he would not disappear suddenly like a monster, so why didn't he listen.
Entering the small courtyard, Xu Changsheng was stunned.
Because the courtyard is full of... bean dregs.
Uncle Xu Zheng came out, "Changsheng, I was just about to find you. Your great-grandfather brought all the bean dregs to Chang'an, and asked if you have any way to deal with it. If it doesn't work, sell it at a low price, or it will be broken." gone."
"Also, your great grandfather is familiar with the things you grow in the valley, and he didn't know what they were used for, so he brought you some."
Xu Changsheng was overjoyed, and ran into the house instead of caring about the bean dregs.
There were several large packages piled up in the room.
Open it up and take a look.
Isn't it the onion, ginger and garlic he planted, and the red devil pepper.
Zanthoxylum pepper grows slowly and has not yet been harvested.
Haha, his seasoning.
Finally, I can finally say goodbye to the big pot of dishes that are either steamed or boiled.
Datang's cooking is mostly steamed and boiled, and the taste is very simple. The fried bean sprouts were taught by Xu Changsheng to his uncle.
Xu Changsheng was so happy that he almost rushed forward.
Xu Zheng looked funny, isn't it just some inexplicable plants?Are you that excited?
Xu Zheng said, "Changsheng, let's think about how to deal with those bean dregs, otherwise it will be so bad that no one will even sell it to others to raise pigs."
Xu Changsheng thought about it, those bean dregs were actually just squeezed oil, and there were a lot of valuable things in it, it would be too wasteful to directly feed pigs and chickens.
He looked at his onion, ginger, garlic and devil pepper again, his eyes twinkled, "Yes."
Xu Zheng was taken aback, so fast.
Xu Changsheng laughed, "I thought about what to eat tonight. Let's eat white and tender bean curd tonight."
Xu Zheng: "..."
The thinking is too detached, isn't it talking about how to deal with the problem of these bean dregs?
Xu Changsheng has sent someone to buy some alkali for tofu at the pharmacy. Alkali was a kind of medicine in the past, and the pharmacy sold it.
It happened that a group of children from Xujia Village were also there, and asked them to help peel garlic and chop sea pepper.
The whole yard became lively.
"Oh, my eyes, what is this, it hurts so much."
"Don't rub your eyes with your hands."
The uncle next to him also prepared two big pots.
Hearing that Xu Changsheng was making a kind of food called bean curd, the uncles of the Xu family had already rushed over.
They don't know what tofu curd is, but which one can be bad if the little fairy makes it?
The bean dregs are directly wrapped in clean cloth and filtered with water.
After filtering several times, it is really bean dregs.
Then pour water into the pot and cook.
A group of clan uncles looked at each other, what is Changsheng doing?boil water?
Xu Changsheng laughed loudly, "Just wait."
After a while, the water began to turn white, like milk.
"Add some cold water and stir slowly so that it doesn't get mushy." Xu Changsheng instructed.
It does have some bean flavor, but it is still a pot of water.
Xu Changsheng smiled, "I'll show you something arrogant."
Xu Changsheng was hugged by someone, and he poured a bowl of alkaline water into the pot.
A pot of water seems to be solidified, the white substance gathers, and then becomes white, tender and beautiful.
Brother Changbai suddenly covered his mouth, Chang... Changsheng turned a pot of boiling water into snow?
How to do how to do?He is going to call out, it must be the immortal art of longevity.
But if he dared to call out, Changsheng would definitely beat him.
The eyes flickered.
Even the clan uncles around showed surprised expressions, it was clearly a pot of water just now.
This thing as white as snow is the bean curd that Changsheng said?
When Xu Changsheng saw that it was almost done, he asked someone to heat up the soybean oil, and then poured it into the large pot of ginger, garlic and chili that they had pounded just now.
The chili oil was a success!
Look at the red color, so festive.
The bowls have been taken out, there must not be so many tables, so let's eat standing up.
Xu Changsheng filled a bowl of fresh and tender tofu, dipped it in a little chili oil, and looked at the eager children and uncles around him, "This is bean curd, and the bean curd should be eaten with red chili oil."
Put it in your mouth.
Eyes are narrowed, the familiar taste is great.
He likes to eat bean curd best.
A group of children started to swallow their saliva in a hurry, because Xu Changsheng's expression was so embarrassing.
Xu Changsheng opened his eyes, "What are you looking at me for? Eat and be full."
wow.
A group of people started to work. Anyway, there is a lot of bean dregs, so there is no fear of not enough.
The snow-white tofu is spotlessly clean, stained with red chili oil, it is so beautiful that it is almost hard to eat it.
The feeling of melting in the mouth is simply not too delicious.
Especially the dipping sauce, no one in Datang has ever tasted such a rich taste.
Each one showed a look of enjoyment.
"It's... really delicious, even better than fried bean cakes." Brother Changbai said.
"That's it."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
It turns out that in their hearts, fried bean cakes are the best?
A bunch of poor kids.
Even a group of uncles are full of praise.
But not long after, a group of people "hissed" while eating, especially Brother Changbai, who kept his mouth open and stuck out his tongue.
"You should use less seasoning, I don't think it will spoil you." Xu Changsheng said.
"No, I want to be this spicy." Brother Changbai shook his head.
This kid is actually a spicy eater.
Others already know how powerful it is, and they are all less involved.
Datang also has peppers, but they are all used for medicinal purposes.
Xu Changsheng was afraid that everyone would not be able to handle such a spicy thing for the first time, so there were not many peppers in the chili oil.
But even if it wasn't much, the so-called devil's hot pepper was hot enough for them.
A group of people ate "hissing" with relish.
The two big pots were really not enough to eat, and two pots were added.
The remaining part of the bean curd was used by Xu Changsheng to make tofu.
Dried spicy tofu, cut into strips, and then dipped in some spicy oil, is definitely the best snack in Datang.
Uncle Xu Zheng was eating two big bowls, then he put down the bowl and started to talk about business, "Changsheng, you haven't said how to deal with these bean dregs?"
Xu Changsheng pointed to the bowl, "Uncle, how do you think the bean curd tastes better than the noodles?"
"It must be good, and it's clean and beautiful. Even a wealthy family may not be able to refuse such elegant food."
Xu Changsheng burst into laughter, "We have so much bean dregs, I'm sure we can't use them up, but we can't afford to sell them to others, why don't we rent a place to sell tofu curds, and the bean curds can also be made into spicy dried bean curd, which can be preserved properly , let our Xu Family Supermarket sell it.”
Xu Changsheng handed the uncle a piece of dried tofu, "Do you think our dried tofu curds will have no market compared to gnocchi and sesame seed cakes?"
Uncle took a bite of the dried tofu, it tasted really good, and the price was right, so he would definitely sell it.
Xu Changsheng plans to rent a place to sell bean curds, but he actually has his own ideas. Now that his ingredients have basically come out, if he has a place for catering, he can eat whatever he wants.
In addition, Xu's supermarket only sells oil, which is too monotonous. Isn't it still strange how the place that sells oil is called a supermarket?
He just happened to add new products to Xu's Supermarket, and hold a new product launch event?At that time, put the dried tofu cut into small pieces on a plate, and provide toothpicks for everyone to taste for free, perfect!
He once said in the Golden Palace that the Xujia supermarket should be opened in all ten ways of the Tang Dynasty, throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, so that the people of the Tang Dynasty can eat cheap and good oil, so that Li Er can benefit the country and the people. Since the words benefiting the country and the people are engraved on the door plaque, it is impossible to wait for others to point at the door plaque and scold him for deceiving the world and stealing his name.
What would it take to open a Xujia supermarket in Datang?
Money, lots of money.
Xu Changsheng wanted to open a restaurant, not only to satisfy his appetite, but also because it was a way to make money.
With money, he can improve the living standard of Xujia Village, and with money, he can open Xujia supermarkets all over the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, this is complementary, the more Xujia supermarkets open, the more money they make.
Xu Zheng thought for a while, and it was indeed a good business. Just bean curd, his family's unique business, would definitely make money, and bean dregs really needed a way to deal with it.
Xu Zheng said, "I'll have someone go back and tell your great grandfather, it will only take a day or two."
After all, it was a big deal, so we had to tell the real head of Xujia Village.
Xu Changsheng nodded, and then pointed to the pile of filtered bean dregs, "Let's transport these bean dregs back to feed the chickens and pigs. Use up everything, if you really can't feed them all, then raise more pigs, so the pigs can eat them."
Xu Zheng: "..."
The oil team of Xujia Village went back a little late today, and brought back some bean dregs filtered out after making bean curd, and a group of piglets.
A group of children said goodbye to Xu Changsheng reluctantly, "Changsheng, we will help you take care of those fairy grasses and fairy trees."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
He doesn't want to talk, pseudoscience, he is now studying in the Imperial College,
