Yun Chu was woken up by the sound of pigeons whistling.
What caught my eye was Yu Xiurong's beautiful face. Last night was so ridiculous that she was still sleeping soundly.
After taking off the arms hanging around his neck, taking off the legs hanging around his waist, and covering Yu Xiurong's beautiful body tightly with a quilt, Yun Chu got up.
Although there are still many things to do, Yunchu doesn't intend to pay attention to them. There are always things to do and he will never be finished.
However, I have enjoyed countless mornings in Chang'an.
Opening the door, today is a very good day. The sky is blue, there is a little breeze, and the morning air is a little bit cold, but it is very good, and it cannot be compared with the coldness in the Western Regions.
The pomegranate tree in the yard has begun to sprout new buds, and it is still early for the flowering season.
The jasmine bush in the corner was about to bloom, and the pale yellow flower buds fell to the ground. It was not just that Yu Xiurong was too lazy to send someone to clean it, but he also deliberately did not clean it because he liked such a mood.
People who plant bamboo in the yard are usually sick. There is a clump of bamboo growing near the window of Yu Xiurong's bedroom. The bamboo is not big, only about a foot high. It is thin and dense like a screen in front of the window.
It blocks the light and should be dug out.
Yu Xiurong's maid Zijuan has been waiting outside with a basin for a long time. She hasn't seen her for two years. This former maid has now become a woman, but she can still remember Yun Chu's habit of washing in the yard.
He had taken a bath last night, so Yunchu didn't plan to wash his hair. He immersed his face in the cold well water, and the remaining tiredness dissipated.
Ice water is used to wake up, and warm water is used to wash the face. Today, Yun Chu also plans to deal with his beard, which is like a weed.
Lying on a bamboo chair, Zijuan applied soap to Yunchu's face, and then Yu Xiurong came. She did not allow anyone except herself to use a knife on her husband's face or neck.
The sharp razor scraped across Yun Chu's face, making a subtle rustling sound, and Yu Xiurong's fingers were cold, making the shaving process a pleasure.
When the hot towel was applied to his face, a cold little hand grabbed Yun Chu's hand. Yun Chu touched it and knew it was Yun Jin's hand.
He promised to carry this child to the cafeteria last night, and it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer.
Also, other people's sons can ride on grandpa's neck while shopping, and Yun Jin wants to do the same.
When Yu Xiurong took off the hot towel on Yun Chu's face, a dark-skinned but energetic young man appeared in front of her. It was Yun Chu's pair of deep eyes that made Yu Xiurong feel scared.
hot.
Yun Chu raised his hand and pinched Yu Xiurong's chin, then threw Yun Jin on his neck and went straight out the door. There were many people at this time, so he could satisfy Yun Jin's little desire to show off as much as possible.
Butler Liu Yi had been waiting at the gate early, holding a thick stack of documents and account books in his arms. He wanted to talk, but Yun Chu ignored him and quickly walked towards the cafeteria with his son on his back.
Wherever I go, there are people saluting Yunchu. Their smiles are actually quite embarrassing. Some people know Yunchu and don’t want to come over to salute. They just see others smiling enthusiastically and saluting very respectfully, so they just follow the crowd.
If you come here and give me a courtesy, you won't lose anything anyway, and there may be unexpected benefits.
Yunchu wasn't in much of a mood to pay attention to these people. He came here to find a place for his son, so even though he was fooling around in a crowded place, he didn't stop.
In today's Chang'an City, the most life-like place is the Jinchangfang Canteen.
Anyone who can get up early is a diligent person. As long as he is diligent, he can basically have money to have breakfast in the Jinchangfang cafeteria.
Under normal circumstances, diners don't think highly of people who buy temporary bamboo cards to eat, thinking that these people are just here to join in the fun.
Real diners will avoid places that sell bamboo signs, slowly come to the person who collects the signs, lift up their sleeves, and reveal a dark red bamboo sign that has been played with and almost pulped, and show it to the person who collects the signs.
After glancing at the number, he said what he wanted to eat and went to the table outside. He took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks that were also coated with starch from his sleeves, placed them horizontally on the small dish plates given by the cafeteria, and quietly peeled the garlic.
When his food is ready, the workers don't call out his number, but call him Liu Er, Wednesday, Wang Si or other nicknames.
Maybe it's a bowl of noodles, the noodles in this bowl are larger than others, and the amount of noodles is larger than others. Even the red pepper is put more than others, and a layer of red oil is spread on top.
Whenever a newcomer raises objections to the standard, the diners will proudly show off the bamboo chips tied to their wrists without any explanation.
Maybe it's a cage of meat buns. This cage of meat buns must have one more bun than others bought, or it may be made with leeks and eggs, or it may be made with tofu and dried vegetables. In short, the benefits are tangible and visible.
There are even more elaborate ones, even the seats are fixed. Before opening the store, the staff will put a sign on the location to reserve a good seat for the regular customers.
When an old customer comes, all he has to do is raise his hand to Huoji, and Huoji will shout, "Mr. Liu is here, it's the same as usual."
Then, Mr. Liu can come to his old position in the bustling crowd, and in the envious eyes of a large group of people looking for and waiting for a place, and wait for work to spread a clean linen cloth on the table.
, placed the bowls, chopsticks and side dishes, and then took a seat safely.
At this time, the waiter will definitely bring a pot of hot tea. This pot of hot tea is not for drinking, but for scalding dishes and chopsticks.
After the guest washed the tableware with hot tea, his breakfast was brought to him by the waiter. At the same time, he also brought a cup of hot tea. This cup of hot tea was put into his mouth, gargled in his mouth, and spit into the table.
Then he started to eat breakfast in the pottery basin.
He opened the bun with chopsticks, revealing the green leeks and eggs inside, and then said to the worker, "Freshly out of the cage?"
The waiter responded: "I dare to fool you."
Then he nodded with satisfaction, and then ate happily.
It is because of these subtle treatments that many matchmakers, when asking someone about a marriage, will ask if there is a special place for eating in the cafeteria.
If someone shows off his bamboo chips proudly, it goes without saying that he must be a well-to-do family in Chang'an City.
When the waiter saw the Marquis arriving with the young Marquis on his back, in order to improve his status in the canteen, he did not welcome the Marquis into the private room. Instead, he found the most conspicuous and cleanest place and settled Yunchu and his son.
, after asking the Marquis and his son what they wanted to eat, they shouted at the top of their lungs: "The Marquis wants two drawers of fresh meat buns and two bowls of millet porridge, and the young Marquis wants a bowl of wontons, no shrimps, no coriander."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an enthusiastic response from the kitchen. In a moment, a dozen side dishes to go with the porridge were delivered. At the same time, a new linen tablecloth covered the oily dining table.
.
Yun Jin happily slid off his father's neck, and sat upright like a little adult. He enjoyed the envious looks from the children who came to have breakfast with their parents.
After the meal was finished, Yun Jin held his father's hand, looked up at his father and said, "Will you come tomorrow?"
Yun Chu smiled and touched his son's little head and said, "Okay, let's eat soybean noodles tomorrow."
Yun Jin said happily: "I want to add a piece of fried tofu."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "If you like it, it would be good to add an egg."
Throughout the morning, Yun Chu did nothing else but took his son to wander around Jinchangfang. When he returned home, he even bought a lot of books for Yun Jin, including a good-looking unopened one.
Small horizontal knife.
When Yu Xiurong saw that Yun Jin was almost drowning the child with the things he was carrying, he said angrily: "How can anyone spoil a child like this? This morning, people from Honglu Temple, Taichang Temple, Shaofu Prison, and the Ministry of Household Affairs came to look for my husband.
But you have been playing with your children all morning."
Yun Chu smiled and put the book in his hand into Yu Xiurong's arms and said: "No big things are as important as me spending time with my son.
I have decided to spend the afternoon with my daughter."
Yu Xiurong said, dumbfounded: "Big things are more important."
Yun Chu picked up Yun Jin from the ground and put it on his neck, saying, "This is my big deal."
Faced with her husband's childlike willfulness, Yu Xiurong didn't know what to say. But when Naha walked out of the inner house while gnawing sugar cane, yesterday's sadness could no longer be seen on her face.
"Why are you chewing bamboo? Are you a flower bear?" Yu Xiurong, who originally felt pity for Naha, suddenly became angry.
For such an old girl, it was really unseemly to walk and chew bamboo at the same time. The most important thing was to ask the little Tibetan girl with colorful patterns all over her body to help her hold the paper basket so that she could spit out the garbage.
Yun Chu grabbed Yu Xiurong, took the sugar cane from Naha's hand, broke it into several sections, tore off the hard outer skin with his teeth, took a bite of the sugar cane, and a familiar sweet taste filled his mouth.
After spitting out the residue, he asked Naha: "Where did you get the sugar cane? Is there anyone who sells sugar cane in Chang'an City?"
Naha took out another orange from her sleeve and handed it to Yunchu and said: "There are also oranges, melons, grapes and many other things I don't know. I don't know the sugar cane you are talking about either. I only drank it when I smelled the sweetness."
Mouth.
There’s a room full of food, enough for me to eat for a long time.”
Yun Chu looked at Yu Xiurong and said, "Did you buy it for me?"
Yu Xiurong shook his head and said, "It's not me. I don't have the ability to get these fruits for her at this time."
Naha peeled an orange, ate a segment, wrinkled her nose, maybe feeling sour, and stuffed the rest into Dolma's mouth.
"It was sent by Li Hong. I saw the note he left."
Yun Chu took out his knife and helped Yu Xiurong, Yun Jin, and Yun Jin peel off the sugar cane skin in twos and twos. The three of them could taste the sweet taste of sugar cane.
As for Li Hong, they had a tacit understanding and did not mention it.
Yu Xiurong thought that Li Si had been complaining about toothache in the past few days and had a stomachache all night, and immediately understood that Li Hong should have sent these things to Naha's embroidery building bit by bit through Li Si. After all,
These days, Li Si has volunteered to be responsible for the sanitation and decoration of Naha embroidery building.
Just when Yu Xiurong was about to take care of Li Si, the child had already smartly brought the nuns and maids from the palace to fill Yu Xiurong's house with all kinds of fruits.
He also tried hard to explain to Yu Xiurong that it was not to deny food to the family, but to give Naha a big surprise.
Yu Xiurong didn't care whether it was a surprise or not. It was wrong for Li Si to stuff things into the inner house without telling her, and it was also her mistake as the mistress of the house. So, she pulled Li Si's ear and returned to the house to teach her a lesson.
People in the palace have long been accustomed to this scene.
As usual, Yun Chu ignored the affairs of the inner house. After gnawing the sugar cane in his hand, he said to Naha: "Don't think about it. Chang'an can't grow this stuff. It seems that Li Hong has been collecting seeds everywhere over the years and has done a good job in the fruit business."
, you can even get such a remote sugar cane."
Naha curled her lips and said, "It's all my money that I spent. Let him send more back in the future."
The day before yesterday, a friend from Gansu sent me a jar of farm meat. I was greedy and tore a big piece with my hands. The meat was really fragrant, but the oil was too big and my stomach couldn't digest it, which led to the interruption of yesterday's update. It's much better today.
I also wanted to eat jar meat, but my wife stopped me. The jar meat, fried in local pork and marinated for two months, is really delicious. Also, brothers who join the group, please read the Easter egg chapter.
