After tossing all afternoon, seeing that it was dark and the rain stopped, but the two people were not suitable for starting again, they decided to rest here tonight.

Xu Zijia put the medical kit back into the carriage and whispered to Zhang Zhen for a moment. Zhang Zhen was a little surprised at first, then nodded solemnly.

In the evening, I made a simple sausage claypot rice. When I was away from home, if I was found to have eaten too delicately, it would always be a bit unjustifiable, but the juice for the main meal is indispensable, and there is also a creamy dessert after the meal.

Claypot rice is high-quality rice that has been modernized in the space kitchen. The rice grains are as white as jade, and the grains are plump like tiny pearls. After steaming, the rice fragrance overflows. Salt, monosodium glutamate and other seasonings were prepared, and finally the rice and sausage made a sizzling sound on the fire, and soon a thick layer of oily golden rice crust formed at the bottom of the rice.

Zhang Zhen only prepared two servings, so when Jiang Heng felt cheeky to ask again, Zhang Zhen had no choice but to say: "The rice we brought is probably not enough for Brother Jiang and the others, and there are not so many dishes." Declined.

Jiang Heng looked at their small carriage and believed it easily. He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I didn't think carefully, but the food you cook is really delicious, Brother Zhang, but it's a pity that we don't have good food." .”

Zhang Zhen took the opportunity to play his own sign and said: "If Brother Jiang is interested, you can come to my shop to eat in the future. I have opened a new delicious shop in the capital, and I will guarantee enough food by then."

Hearing this, Jiang Heng immediately felt his thoughts fly again, and replied: "Okay, okay, I will definitely join in the show!" Ever since Mr. Xu saved his master, he now has no clue about the identities of the two of them. No more doubts, only gratitude to the two of them.

Because Zhang Zhen and the others still had to eat, Jiang Heng didn't stay long. When the other attendants saw the boss returning empty-handed, let alone how disappointed they were: "Boss, you can't do this, I'm so hungry!"

"Aren't I hungry!" Jiang Heng scolded with a smile, in desperation he still had to eat dry food. Thinking of the aroma of rice that he had just seen and smelled nearby, he felt that the dry food that was considered full in the past is hard to eat now .

Because the aroma of the sausage is overbearing, not only all the attendants smelled it, but even Nan Xianyue smelled it. After asking Qingzhi to inquire, she found out that it was the food made by the two who saved her today. In fact, she had already vaguely known it before. The people around me didn't have such good craftsmanship, but it smelled really delicious, so I had a glimmer of hope that it was made by their own people. As for Mr. Xu, he just saved her today, so she was embarrassed to ask for it.

Because the two teams started from the capital, they also arrived together for three or four days. In the past few days, Zhang Zhen specially made a few light dishes for Nan Xianyue, thanking her for her protection. It's not far away, but it's worth being grateful that so many people secretly protect the safety of the two of them.

After a few dishes, Nan Xianyue was not very interested in her next meal. She always felt that she lost her appetite. Knowing that Zhang Zhen and the others had opened a delicious shop in the capital, she was tormented. She had to eat well on the opening day. Last meal.

The prosperity of Jijiang Prefecture is incomparable to Yu Hezhen, and the wealth of Jijiang Prefecture is insignificant compared to the capital city. Not to mention other things, Jijiang Prefecture is far behind just the city gate, which is towering and lofty.

The place Li Yiyun helped to arrange was in the middle of the capital, and the location was excellent. It was originally a silver building in Li’s mansion, and it was specially transferred to Zhang Zhen as a shop. He declined, but even Li Qin made up his mind afterward, so he couldn't say anything more, or he was being too polite.

Unlike the layout of Jijiang Prefecture, not to mention digging small streams here, even Zhang Zhen couldn't build such a large pond, so another way of thinking is still needed.

Moreover, to be able to live in the capital for a long time, each family must have its own uniqueness. If Zhang Zhen wants to stand out from it, he still needs a little way to go.

Of course, these Zhang Zhens are not afraid. Walking into the shop, there are only a few empty tables here and there on the first floor, and there are big pictures of beauties around the walls. Of course, the pictures of beauties are not only of women, but there are also many romantic talents. Shaking the fan, there are thousands of gestures, and the same style of piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings are scattered on the shelves of the wooden frame next to them.

The table Zhang Zhen refers to the modern style. It can be used for eating, but press a small mechanism next to the table to drop and store it around. It can be used as a copybook, a piano stand, or a chessboard, depending on the preferences of the guests. how.

The second floor was originally built by the guests of the silver building for concealed selection, but now it is a private room, with the same paintings hanging inside the door, but the normal length, each room is different, there are plums, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums, beautiful women like jade, piano and chess Calligraphy and painting, there are vast rivers and mountains, as well as small bridges and flowing water.

The wing room is divided into inside and outside, separated by a circular door, and the bead curtain above also forms a circle. The most wonderful thing is that a large picture is drawn on the entire door curtain, and if one of the beads is missing, it is a flaw.

There is still a third floor in the silver building. Zhang Zhen asked the craftsmen to change it into a big pavilion. From the front and back of the shop, it looks like there is a roof, but it is not the case when I arrive. The pavilion is surrounded by various flowers and plants. Indoors, it grows more vigorously, exuding a charming and sweet smell, slowly drifting into the shop, refreshing.

After reading the layout, Zhang Zhen felt very satisfied. He basically realized all his ideas. If it was in Jijiang Prefecture, the level of craftsmen would not be able to reach it.Holding Doudou in his arms, Zhang Zhen led his daughter-in-law to look around the big kitchen, and finally returned to his residence in the capital.

"Are you very tired today?" Zhang Zhen put down the bag and poked his little face.

Dou Dou didn't mean to speak, and after hearing the words, he began to fight with his eyelids, but he had the lotus root cake that his father bought just now, and he couldn't bear to put it down. After ordering the lotus root cake, he woke up and continued to eat. After chewing a little bit, he subconsciously tapped his mouth. Zhang Zhen wanted to snatch it to let him sleep well, but he was still unwilling and continued to fight.

Zhang Zhen threw Doudou into the kitchen of the space to sleep, and took the little daughter-in-law to take a bath by herself.

To be honest, although the road is not very difficult, it is difficult to take a good bath. Zhang Zhen bought a big bathtub specially, adjusted the water temperature in it, sprinkled some flower petals, and waited for the little wife to take a good bath. .

"Tomorrow, let's go to the ruined temple outside the city to take a look. Maybe... we can find clues about Daddy." Zhang Zhen gently massaged the little daughter-in-law's hair, and suggested when she relaxed completely.

Xu Zijia's body froze, and even his breathing became short of breath, and then he suddenly felt blessed, and asked, "Ah Zhen came to the capital because of this incident?" Although it was a question, tears were already falling from the corners of his eyes.

Zhang Zhen gently kissed his cheek, and then comforted him: "Don't have such a burden, kid Jia, I just want to see the prosperity at the foot of the emperor."

Xu Zijia didn't believe this at all, took a few rough breaths, then suddenly relaxed his tense nerves, turned around slowly, wrapped his hands around Ah Zhen's neck, and murmured before closing his eyes and pressing against the other's lips "Ah Zhen, thank you." Maybe he should have discovered that Mingming has so many friends in Yuhe Town, why did Ah Zhen have to go to Jijiang Prefecture, why did he come to the capital after already having a reputation in Jijiang Prefecture? , his Ah Zhen.

With the person in his arms, Zhang Zhen didn't have the heart to think about other things, and responded carefully and sincerely. At the moment when Zijia was enthusiastic, only one sentence flashed in his mind with a small poetry library: Fragrant mist, cloud, wet, clear Huiyu's arms are cold.

After making a fuss all night, Zhang Zhen was afraid that his daughter-in-law would get hurt, so he didn't plan to take too long, but the person in his arms was too warm, and his already restless heart beat even more cheerfully, so naturally he couldn't bear it.

Naturally, it failed on the second day, but unfortunately, when I went to check on the third day, I found no clues. The ruined temple was surrounded by deserted people, and there was no one to ask questions. Naturally, I couldn't find any witnesses from the beginning.

Zhang Zhen didn't intend to give up either, thinking that it might be that the Shangshufu took some old feelings back home to give his soul a resting place, but Zhang Zhen didn't intend to inquire about Shangshufu at this moment, he didn't want to What wronged his kid Jia.

After resting for five days, Zhang Zhen met Yu Yuange, who had already become the number one scholar, and Xue Yinchang, who was in charge of the current court. The former Sanji Jiangzhou of the Li Dynasty occupied the two of them, and they were still acquainted, which can be regarded as a great honor. Even the emperor is very curious, so he likes them very much.

Therefore, it was not easy for the two of them to make time for it. Seeing Zhang Zhen, Yu Yuange was better, but Xue Yinchang came up with a bear hug: "I have heard Ah Yun talk about what happened, I Thanks to Brother Zhang for taking care of me during my absence!"

Zhang Zhen gently pushed him away, and said with a smile: "It should be like this between friends, you don't have to be polite." Then he said to the two: "I have prepared the banquet, brother Yu and Xue, please come with me." Lead to the gazebo on the third floor.

"Some time ago, I got a post written by a famous artist in the former dynasty. Of course it is not the popular preface. It should be written in the early years. Although my brushwork is not as exquisite as it is, it has already seen the strength of the pen. The power of the pen penetrates the back of the paper. This kind of thing, I thought about buying it and giving it to you. As for Brother Xue’s, it’s an inkstone. Although it’s not a good thing, it’s not a famous inkstone, but I got it from a study in a small town on the way to Beijing. The ink is delicate and does not scatter, but after half an engraving, the handwriting on the paper disappears completely, and it can be seen on the top after being stained with vinegar. Looking at the novelty, thinking that Brother Xue was born in a scholarly family, I just wanted to have fun." Zhang Zhen put his preparations together. When a good gift is given out, people's feelings are mostly you and me, not to mention that he will definitely ask for two people in the future, these are naturally nothing.

Yu Yuange opened the box and took a closer look. It turned out to be an authentic work, and said a little excitedly, "Thank you, Brother Zhang, I really like this." Then, even if he was as dull as he, he said embarrassedly: "I came to the door today, and I didn't bring any Li, I'm really ashamed."

Zhang Zhen knew that he had such a personality, and it was definitely not intentional, so he smiled and said, "This is just a chance, if it is serious, it would be bad, but brother Yu must come to the opening two days later!"

"This is natural." It was Xue Yinchang who spoke. There is no shortage of inkstones in his house, even the famous inkstones can't be counted. You're being polite, besides, I said that in the past two days we'll call more colleagues to cheer on Brother Zhang, he will definitely be happier!"

Zhang Zhen didn't shy away at all, raised his glass with one hand and drank it: "Ji Chen knows me."

After a while, the food was served again, Xue Yinchang whispered to Xiao Miao who came over, "Have your hands ever felt better?"

Xiao Miao hurriedly went to see Zhang Zhen, and found that he didn't seem to notice it, so she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's almost recovered, thank you Mr. Xue for sending the medicine two days ago."

"That's good." Xue Yinchang did not overdo it, but looked at him with bright eyes, and his heart was full of joy.

Zhang Xiaocao and Liu Ping's culinary skills are now very high. The three of them ate to their heart's content. They didn't drink much and almost finished all the dishes. After they left, Zhang Zhen went home to accompany Xiao Zijia. Zhang Zhen didn't bother her when she was teaching the child to write, she just smiled and said to herself, "Didn't you say you didn't come a few days ago?"

Although the voice was not loud, it was heard clearly by Xiao Miao, who was practicing calligraphy next to her but kept acting like a guilty conscience, her face turned red immediately, and even the characters she wrote were almost as good as Chenchen Xixi's.
