Although he had become a disciple of Xuanchengzi, Ye An did not study, mainly because he had no time and was not interested.
If he was allowed to learn Taoist thoughts and cultivate his sentiments, that would be no problem, but if it was about other things, forget it. The only thing he was interested in now was to live a carefree life in the Song Dynasty.
It doesn't matter whether he is prosperous or not, what matters is that he lives comfortably! So making money is his first priority.
Ye An is self-aware. If he were allowed to enter politics, he would not be worthy of even carrying shoes for others, let alone competing with those big men in the court.
Not to mention the distance, even Wang Hao, who is right in front of us, is no match for others. He seems to have taken advantage, but in fact he just takes advantage of information asymmetry.
Ye An has no idea of changing an era. Although this idea is noble and passionate, it is unrealistic. It is still the same saying, "The more you understand, the more you fear."
Ye An understood the political structure of the Song Dynasty, so he did not want to get involved.
Politics has never been as simple as imagined. No one can live smoothly in the court, even the famous Prime Minister Kou Zhun. What is the current outcome?
Wang Dan is good, but his Sanhuai Wang family will be lonely from now on. This is something that is happening soon. Ye An doesn't think that someone like him can play well in the court of the Song Dynasty.
Especially if you can't explain your origin clearly, this is a very dangerous thing, so naturally you should stay away from it.
Turning back from the shore to Zhuangzi, during this time his mouth became less familiar. There were many delicacies in the Song Dynasty, but in this era when iron pots and stir-fry dishes were not popular, steaming and stewing became the first choice.
No matter how delicious the food is, it can't help but make Ye An's mouth water, and it also makes him look at the majestic rooster outside Zhuangzi...
"Eating chicken" means only one thing in this era.
Ye An, who had been impatient for a long time, crossed the small bridge in a few steps, left Zhuangzi surrounded by rivers and entered the woods, but there were constant cooing sounds in his arms.
Fortunately, the chicken's mouth was tied up, otherwise the clothes on the chest would be scratched. I was bitten by a chicken several times when I was a child. The pain like an electric shock is really fresh in Ye An's memory.
So I twisted my hand with a little force, and my neck was broken and the chicken died...
The next step is to go to the river to cook quickly, take out the internal organs and set aside, then wrap the whole chicken in yellow mud and dig the hole like crazy.

Yingniang walked into the woods with the hemp rope. She had become a well-known enemy of her husband. Even with Mr. Guanmiao's methods, she might not be able to save her. In the past few days, except for Zhan'er who was comforting herself, the others
No one wants to mention it.
Ying Niang knew that she was a woman who had no control over her husband in Zhuangzi. When she walked out of Zhuangzi, no one stopped her, and she hid far away when she saw her.
Between the scoldings of her mothers-in-law, the sadness of her parents, and the unjust deaths of husbands, Yingniang felt that she was being tortured day and night, as if everyone she met was laughing at her.
Last night was another sleepless night. As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see countless faces shaking in front of her, shouting injustice and asking herself why she wanted to take their lives.
A piece of hemp rope could solve her pain. Yingniang suddenly felt that she was completely relaxed, so relaxed that she could even laugh. Apart from her parents, the only person she felt sorry for was Zhan'er.
Thinking of the maid who was slightly older than herself, Ying Niang felt a little weird. After warming her bed last night, she hugged him and fell asleep.
I found a crooked-necked tree, but I couldn't throw the hemp rope up and tie it up even though I tried my best.
After tying a knot at one end, Yingniang threw it hard, and finally the rope hung on the branch. Looking at the hemp rope, Yingniang, who could still laugh at first, wanted to cry, but she knew that death was not uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable.
The only thing is to live and face everyone.
She couldn't move the big rocks, but it didn't stop her from carrying the small stones and building them up. Standing on the pile of rubble, she glanced in the direction of Zhuangzi, and Yingniang resolutely put the rope around her neck...
Suicide is not an easy thing. Human instinct is to survive. When you are hungry, you will look for food, when it is cold, you will look for clothes, and when it is windy and rainy, you will look for a house to take shelter.
Therefore, a person's active choice to die is something that goes against instinct and challenges instinct.
When Yingniang was trying to gather her courage again and again, a strong and complex aroma kept scratching her nose like a small hand, making her unable to help but flicker her nostrils.
The aroma was so wonderful that she even forgot there was a rope around her neck...
Yingniang has never smelled such a strong aroma of meat. It must be mixed with the smell of spices. Just smelling the aroma can make her mouth water.
Looking back along the scent, I suddenly saw the little Taoist priest who came yesterday holding a chicken leg and leaning against the big tree, looking at me with a smile, and kept blowing the scent over hard as if to be a prank.
"You can't die like this, how can you use a slipknot to hang yourself? I know how to tie a sailor's knot, and I will tie it for you later to ensure that it won't loosen. Since you are going to die, do you want to have a bite of chicken? I heard that the king of hell will not accept the starving ghost, then
When you enter the underworld, you cannot be reincarnated and become a new human being. You can only become a lonely ghost wandering around the world... woo woo... woo woo... wandering..."
"ah!"
The ear-piercing screams startled Ye An... He turned around and saw Ying Niang had come out of the rope at some point, squatting on the ground and shaking uncontrollably. She was obviously frightened by her words.
The beggar's chicken is bright red in color, fragrant and fragrant, with crispy meat and tender meat. It is crispy and tender in the mouth. The lotus leaves flowing from Wang Daguan's pond are the best raw materials, and the yellow mud is everywhere.
Ye An, who had just pulled off a chicken leg, saw Ying Niang seeking death beside her.
He could have pretended not to have seen it, but after all, it was a human life. Besides, a 28-year-old young lady hanged herself next to him. Who would have the nerve to pretend not to have seen it?
Apart from that, there is nothing more important than eating chicken.
Pushing the chicken placed on a clean lotus leaf to Ying Niang, Ye An held up a chicken leg and ate it. This was a real free-range chicken. Coupled with the special roasting method, all the flavors were forced out.
It would be better if you can fill the chicken belly with some bamboo shoots, pork belly, or fresh shrimps.
The beggar's chicken sprinkled with cumin and chili powder is no longer an ordinary delicacy, but a "life" thing. No matter how the chicken is cooked, it is not as delicious as the unorthodox method.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms, vermicelli stewed chicken, vermicelli potatoes stewed chicken, etc. are difficult to make, but roasted chicken, fried chicken, roasted chicken, or even smoked chicken, as long as the method is right, the taste will not be bad.
.
Seeing Ye An eating "arrogantly", Ying Niang couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She tore off a piece of chicken with skin and gently put it into the mouth of the sandalwood. A strong smell spread along with the chicken.
open.
After chewing for the first time, Yingniang couldn't stop anymore. She put the chicken into her mouth piece by piece, and her greasy hands kept tearing the chicken. Ye An kept praising him, he was really a master of eating chicken.
Chili powder was probably the first seasoning she came into contact with. The slight burning sensation in her mouth was satisfying to her, but it also made her gasp for air, her red lips blazing...
