Bamboo tube rice, one of Li Yuanxing’s favorite outdoor staple foods.
Li Yuanxing did not roast it with fire, but chose to boil it with water. The fresh bamboo will mix the fragrance into the rice due to the boiling.
At this time, Li Yuanxing brought two clay pots from behind the bamboo building and sealed them with mud. The kitchen had been prepared last night and servants had brought them here in the morning. Autumn had just entered and the weather was not too cold yet.
There is still a trace of warmth on the clay pot.
"I'm going to prepare something really delicious, and it will make your skin better!"
As Li Yuanxing spoke, he opened the mud seal on it, and the fragrance quickly spread throughout the bamboo building. This was definitely intentional, because the pottery pot contained braised pig's trotters, which was the best for the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
No one might eat pork, let alone pig trotters.
But the pig's trotters here are cleaned, braised, and then cut into pieces.
"Is it delicious?" Li Yuanxing asked with a smile, but no one answered him at all. He could only eat hard. Li Yuanxing thought to himself at this time, should he say something about Zhou etiquette and restraint? Or maybe?
, tell them what this is? Or...
Forget it! I am twenty-two years old and will be twenty-three soon. It is really too bad to bully a few fourteen-year-old girls.
Li Yuanxing smiled while cooking vegetables in a large pot. There were some bamboo shoots, various mushrooms, and some fine ribs!
Fragrant bamboo tube rice and delicious game stewed in a big pot!
Then Li Yuanxing took out a bag of instant coffee, cappuccino flavor, as a dessert after the meal.
"Tell me about it. What do you do at home on weekdays?" Li Yuanxing sat down, took out a cigarette, and then put it back after thinking about it. There were all underage girls present, and Li Yuanxing felt uncomfortable smoking in front of them.
pressure.
None of the seven girls answered Li Yuanxing's question. It wasn't because they couldn't answer, but because they didn't know why Li Yuanxing asked him like this. The first one to answer was an idiot, and the one who answered casually was even more idiotic. If they were alone with Li Yuanxing. This
The question will definitely be answered immediately.
Li Yuanxing thought for a while and asked: "So, let's change the question. What are your plans after the wedding?"
This question really irritated the seven little girls. The most impatient Li Xiuyuan immediately rushed to ask: "Don't you mean, King Qin, that you have no arrangements for us?"
"Stupid girl!" Li Yuanxing scolded with a smile: "Do you mean that your words, deeds, and daily life should all be under my arrangement? Or, in your hearts, should your life be subject to my arrangement?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at the six people next to her. She couldn't help but said: "My mother is at home, and when she gets up every morning..."
Speaking of this, Li Xiuyuan couldn't go on. It seemed that there was nothing to say about that kind of life. Every day was the same, monotonous and unchanged. She stayed in her own courtyard. Her father would come every few days. Sometimes
They only come once a month. In her memory, what makes her mother happiest is that she can go out and see some festivals.
Even seeing a running hare will make my mother happy for a long time.
Li Yuanxing spoke at this time: "A canary in a cage has a luxurious cage. Even if the cage is made of pure gold, it is still a cage. Although the Flower Goddess is beautiful, it is sad!"
Flower God! Zhang Yan, the Empress of the Han Dynasty, was still a virgin when she died at the age of thirty-six. The Flower God worshiped by the people!
"Qiuxiang!" Li Yuanxing waved gently, and Qiuxiang took a small basket from the maid's hand and placed it in front of Li Yuanxing.
"I have some little gifts for you, so don't be so gloomy!"
In fact, she was more than just sullen. Zheng Xiuyan, the timidest one, was almost scolded. She was just a thirteen-year-old girl. How could she have thought about such a heavy topic? Moreover, Li Yuanxing's serious tone and expression made her feel scared.
She was very scared. Every time her father had such an expression, someone in the family would be punished.
Li Yuanxing's gift was extremely valuable in the Tang Dynasty.
To say it is not valuable, in modern times it would cost more than 100 yuan.
"This is the compact, the powder you put on your face. It's much better than the one you used to apply on it!" Li Yuanxing put the compact in Zheng Xiuyan's hands with his own hands: "Don't look like you're about to cry, I'm just saying this to make you want to
You will live a happier life in the future, Prince Qin’s Mansion is not a cage, and your respective courtyards will not be prison cages either!”
Cui Yingying had the most contact with Li Yuanxing. When she took the powder box, she said: "Your Highness, if you don't care about women after the wedding, there are clans above, families in the middle, and people below. How do you want us to face it, except in our own little house?"
We have a husband and a son in the courtyard, what else can we do?"
"You can't make the decision when you marry someone. When it comes to marrying a wife, I can't make the decision either way. But life is ours. If you can't even make the decision, will you be happy?"
After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he felt a little regretful, as he might have gone too far in what he said.
In this case, I wonder what will happen if they are passed back to the family?
"Okay, everyone has a gift." Li Yuanxing took out a large pile of modern, artificially cultured, worthless pearl bracelets, which were given to several maids.
"I can manage the accounts!" Lu Qiuyu also said at this time, and sighed softly after speaking: "But how much can I manage? The property of Prince Qin's Mansion is huge. I heard that there are dozens of accounting offices and hundreds of them.
I have no chance to use what I have learned."
Who wants to be a canary and have the opportunity to fly freely?
Li Yuanxing smiled. Today's conversation at least gave them a sense of hope, or they could go back and meditate. After all, it was not in vain.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see one of my most interesting properties, which is in this mountain."
The industry in the mountains is Li Yuanxing's tea workshop, which is still in the experimental stage. There is no spring tea to make now, and what is made here is Qiu Guanyin, which is the Tie Guanyin of autumn tea. But the tea leaves are from the Guanzhong area.
The tea Li Yuanxing tried to make several times before was not as good as the Fujian tea he brought from later generations.
But compared to the original one from Datang, it is still drinkable.
The tea masters are working hard and are constantly experimenting with the tea making methods taught by Li Yuanxing.
Li Yuanxing took seven girls to the tea workshop. He didn't think much about it, but he didn't know where he should go in the afternoon. When it came to chatting, because of the differences in culture and habits, he didn't know what to talk about.
If someone wants to go hunting, or if someone wants to chant poems and play the harp in front of a waterfall, this is the real difficulty for Li Yuanxing.
It's just a tea workshop. If the girls like it, what if I give it to them?
After entering the tea workshop, they heard that this was how the fairy tea that Li Yuanxing usually drank was made. The seven girls showed aloof interest. They were like seven sparrows the whole afternoon, chattering non-stop. Those who were brave could ask for more.
I went to try it myself. Everyone had already filled a can and was ready to take it home.
When Li Yuanxing first started, he was still explaining the tea.
But in the end, the questions asked by the seven girls were beyond the scope of Li Yuanxing's knowledge. Fortunately, an experienced tea master kept explaining beside him, so there was no silence.
In the evening, Li Yuanxing looked tired. After returning to the house, he didn't want to say a word and leaned lazily on the recliner.
Wu Zhao, who was having dinner, didn't care about Li Yuanxing, nor did he make fun of him.
The room was extremely silent, so silent that Chunlan and Qiuxiang secretly retreated out. Because they felt the atmosphere was oppressive, the two maids left the room very wisely.
When there were only Li Yuanxing and Wu Zhao in the room, Li Yuanxing said: "After all, he is a prince, so you have some sense of propriety!"
"No, it's the two brothers from the Wu family. I suddenly noticed that they were very annoying. The prince beat them, but a child can be beaten hard. I believe that in a few days, they will come up with other ideas!" Wu Zhao's tone was sharp.
With a murderous look in his heart, he picked up the bowl with his small hands and drank the porridge, then put the bowl heavily back on the table.
A thud made Chunlan and Qiuxiang look at each other and stick out their tongues.
Chunlan then whispered to Qiuxiang: "Today at Chamber of Commerce Street, two brothers from the Wu family came. They wanted to ask for a shop, even an ordinary shop. Princess Mingyue agreed, but they only had three guans of money.
, you must know that even a small shop on the main street costs at least 500 yuan!"
"Come to take advantage!" Qiuxiang asked.
Chunlan lowered her voice: "Those two guys pretended to be pitiful. That was annoying. His Highness the Crown Prince had no choice but to reveal his identity and beat the two guys away, but they said that the princess was unkind and had other things to say. It was ugly.
!”
"Where is Su An?" Qiu Xiang thought that was wrong, but then she thought about it and realized that Su An had not recovered from the strain on her body.
Chunlan added: "It will be more troublesome next time!"
"Why?" Qiuxiang asked in confusion.
"Next time, if His Highness the Crown Prince is not here, we in Prince Qin's Mansion really can't beat that bad guy. It would be bad for their reputation if we beat them."
"What a trouble!" The two maids sighed at the same time.
Compared with the two maids who cared about their master, the two people in the room did not sigh.
Li Yuanxing said to Wu Zhao: "I was very successful today. Although I am a little tired, I at least communicated with seven girls. Otherwise, I really don't know how to get along with each other in the future!"
Wu Zhao had a dark face: "Did you tell me that the Prince of Qin's Palace has great power and is very powerful. Also, the Tang Dynasty can kill people, right?"
"If you want to kill someone, give me a reason. If I think it's appropriate, it's up to you!"
"No, not killing people. How can a girl have blood on her hands? However, I have to say this and solve this problem. I didn't take the two brothers of the Wu family seriously at first, but now it seems that this
They are two shameless dogs. If they are not dealt with, they will disgust me to death in the future!"
Wu Zhao carefully slapped the table several times to vent his dissatisfaction.
However, Li Yuanxing said at this time: "Zhao Yande must be sent to Goguryeo after the new year. Let's learn how to be cruel from him."
"I am very cruel!" Wu Zhao clenched his fists.
"No, because you haven't seen blood, you still have our moral standards." Li Yuanxing shook his head.
Wu Zhao was stunned. She really felt that Li Yuanxing was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
"But before you say cruel, let me see something first!" (To be continued...)
