In the Li Mansion, Li Qinzai, as one of the young masters, has his own separate courtyard.
The small courtyard is located in the north of Li Mansion facing the sun. It has good sunlight in both cold and summer. It is surrounded by bushes and flowers. Among Li Ji's grandchildren, the location of Li Qinzai's courtyard is considered to be the best.
This was obtained from several of his cousins by Li Qinzai when he was still young and ignorant. Naturally, his cousins would not compete with the youngest brother of the Li family, so they gave this courtyard to him.<
/p>
From the time he traveled to the present day, all Li Qinzai heard was the bad deeds of his predecessor, which made him want to slap himself, but it hurt so much that he couldn't bear to do it.
A few days later, there were some changes in Li Qinzai’s courtyard.
There are a lot of weird furniture in his bedroom.
There are chairs with four legs and backrests, large round tables with four legs, lounge chairs, coffee tables, and even a bedside table next to the bed.
This kind of furniture did not exist in the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty still followed the style of the Qin and Han dynasties. Everyone in the house sat on the floor, and people had to eat and drink at knee-level tables with low legs.
It was not until the Song Dynasty that things like tables and chairs slowly appeared, changing the living habits of the ancients.
Nowadays, products that do not belong to this era have appeared in Li Qinzai's yard in advance, which surprised the people in Li's family.
Li Qinzai ordered the lounge chairs and coffee table to be placed under the elm tree in the middle of the yard, and the round table and chairs were placed indoors.
What's even more amazing is not the furniture, but the iron pot made by Li Qinzai's blacksmith.
There was nothing unusual about the iron pot, but Li Qinzai went into the kitchen and fried a few dishes in the iron pot. Before the dishes were even out of the pot, the aroma had already filled the kitchen area, making even the fat and fair cook in the house drool after smelling it. p>
This is very magical. Only then did the servants of Li Mansion know that there is another cooking method in the world called "stir-frying".
Li Qinzai tasted the food cooked in the iron pot and thought it was pretty good.
So I put it in a paint box, carried it to the backyard with my own hands, and gave it to my wife to try.
Mrs. Li Cui didn't expect that her son could make such a delicious dish out of random weird stuff. She was so excited that she kept rubbing her son's head, and she didn't know how to love him.
Compared with the domineering and arrogant playboy son who was always in trouble, Li Qinzai is obviously much stronger now.
At night, Li Qinzai cooked a few more dishes for himself. The dishes were very simple, including braised mutton, stir-fried lotus root slices, and stir-fried chicken breast with chives.
I want to eat beef, but I don’t dare. Cows are precious production resources these days. The government’s protection of cows is comparable to that of giant pandas in later generations. Ordinary people who dare to kill cows are also a serious sin of being exiled thousands of miles away.
As for the rich and powerful, they can eat beef if they want to, but they have to do it secretly, and they have to make up an excuse before killing the cow, such as the cow has a sprained leg, is sick, crazy, etc. After paying a sufficient fine to the government,
Only then was the cow allowed to be slaughtered.
For a mouthful of beef, Li Qinzai felt it was unreasonable to go to such trouble.
…I’ll talk about it later when I have a chance.
It is said that Xue Rengui also has Zhuangzi outside Chang'an City. Based on the friendship between Li Qinzai and Xue Na, I think the cattle on Xue's Zhuangzi will often have accidents in the future.
It was his first serious stir-fry meal after arriving in the Tang Dynasty. Li Qinzai felt that it was necessary to have a sense of ceremony. Naturally, wine should accompany the food.
The maid quickly brought the wine. It was a good-quality Sanlejiang. It tasted bland when you drank it, with only a hint of wine. However, even such a low-quality wine could only be drunk by the rich and powerful in the Tang Dynasty.
.
There is wine and food, but Li Qinzai still lacks a friend.
It was easy to find friends. Li Qinzai walked out of the yard, casually calculated the direction, and pulled Liu Asi, the leader of the army team in the mansion, by Li Qinzai.
Sitting upright on the chair, Liu Asi looked uncomfortable.
"Forgive me, Fifth Young Master. My husband has already issued a military order. Drinking is prohibited in the army. Otherwise, military law will severely punish you. I really don't dare to drink."
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is the Duke's Mansion, not the army. Why don't you have a few drinks with me?" Li Qinzai said impatiently.
Liu Asi said in embarrassment: "Fifth Young Master doesn't know something. The feeling of being beaten by a military stick is too uncomfortable. I really don't dare to..."
"If my grandpa punishes you with a military stick, I will punish you with him. Apart from the bridal chamber, what else in the world is more important than drinking?"
Liu Asi was silent for a moment and said cautiously: "Fifth Young Master, you are just a humble soldier. You are not worthy of drinking at the same table with Fifth Young Master."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "What do you mean by being humble? Do you think I am noble? Go and ask around in Chang'an City, and most people will tell me that I am not even a human being. My father often calls me "evil beast" affectionately.
'?"
This is true. Liu Asi subconsciously wanted to nod, but felt that nodding was not appropriate, and his face suddenly looked a little weird.
"Come on, have a few drinks with me. Don't say anything about your status. If you can sit at the same table, I won't look down on you. Don't belittle yourself either. Sit down and try the food I cooked with my own hands."<
/p>
A trace of emotion flashed in Liu Asi's eyes, and she pursed her lips, no longer being pretentious.
"I fought hard with the military stick today, so I'll have a good drink with the Fifth Young Master."
After saying this, Liu A held up his cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Qinzai said happily: "This is like a man in the army. Come and win!"
"Drink to win!"
After three glasses of wine, Liu A held up his chopsticks and tasted the food cooked by Li Qinzai. He was astonished and admired endlessly.
After drinking a few more drinks, Liu Asi finally let go and started talking more.
Li Qinzai looked at him and asked curiously: "Are you very skilled? Can you fly over walls and fly over walls? Or can you blow off the enemy's head with one punch?"
Liu Asi laughed: "Fifth Young Master is joking. How can a mortal fly over a wall? It's even more nonsense to blow someone's head off with one punch. The enemy is killed on the battlefield with arrays. It's the orders and prohibitions of the brothers in Paoze, and the generals give orders."
, even if there is a copper wall and an iron wall in front of us, we must break through it."
"You are the personal guards around grandpa. When grandpa took command, did you also go to the battlefield?"
Liu Asi smiled and said: "We usually guard the commander's tent, but when the war is urgent and the front advance is unfavorable, the old man will also order me and other personal guards to go to the battlefield. Such opportunities are rare. If you want
When the personal guards around my husband are used, the war must have become extremely critical."
As he spoke, Liu Asi suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Qinzai, and said deeply: "I haven't thanked the Fifth Young Master for making the divine arm bow. In the future, if the Tang Dynasty King has this weapon, our army's casualties will definitely be much smaller."<
/p>
Li Qinzai waved his hand: "It's just a gadget, there's nothing to say."
Liu Asi shook his head and said seriously: "No, it is definitely not a gadget. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the life grace of thousands of soldiers. Fifth Young Master, do not underestimate the bow and arrow with twice the range. On the battlefield,
It can avoid countless casualties of soldiers."
"The range of one hundred steps and the range of two hundred steps, when thousands of arrows are fired, have completely different meanings. It also has great benefits for the array arrangement of the Tang Dynasty King's Division. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty King's Division are all indebted to the Five Young Masters.
A word of thanks."
"You... still owe me a movie ticket."
Liu Asi suddenly stood up and clasped his fists and said: "I have been on duty in the mansion all year round. I can see that the Fifth Young Master today is different from the past. I boldly ask the Fifth Young Master that if you have inspiration in the future, you might as well improve the military more."
Hitting the target with a sharp weapon can also teach me, the sons of the Tang Dynasty, to reduce casualties."
