Li Shimin took a sip of tea and said: "Recently, the food at Qin Qiong's house has more animal offal and some unnecessary dishes. No one dares to visit Qin Qiong's house."
Queen Changsun asked doubtfully: "Is there such a thing?"
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed: "What's served here is full of heart, liver and lungs. Let alone eating it, even sitting there will make you panic."
Empress Changsun covered her mouth and smiled, "Why is this happening?"
"It's not that boy Zhang Yang who said eating like this can cure diseases."
Under the escort of the two aunts, the couple arrived in front of General Zuo Wuwei's mansion. Knowing that Zhang Yang and Her Royal Highness the Princess were coming to visit, Qin Qiong went out to greet them in person.
Qin Qiong looks in good spirits today. He is wearing a turban and a rough brown shirt.
The daily attire of such a great general is no different from that of an ordinary farmer.
If he hadn't known that he was Qin Qiong, he would have thought he was a servant of the general's residence.
Walking into Qin Qiong's mansion, Li Yue held Zhang Yang's hand and looked around the large courtyard of the mansion. The furnishings were simple, but there were many weapons of all kinds.
The interests and hobbies of the warriors of the Tang Dynasty were also simple.
Qin Qiong bowed slightly and said, "Your Royal Highness, the consort."
Zhang Yang handed the salted duck eggs to Qin Qiong, "This is some food made at home. I hope the general won't dislike it."
Qin Qiong took the salted duck egg and said with a smile: "How can I dislike it?"
If he really wanted to give something more valuable, Qin Qiong would refuse, but he would still be happy to accept such home-cooked snacks.
After looking around, Zhang Yang said, "How is your health lately?"
"I feel much better after I stopped drinking, and my sleep is much better. I have been taking the supplements mentioned by His Majesty the Prince Consort for some time. The medical officer from the Imperial Medical Office came to see me a few days ago and said that my recovery is better than before."
"You must also keep exercising."
"Practice every day, hahaha! Those guys either lie down or sit down. Now I can practice happily and feel much more comfortable."
Recuperation and recuperation are two different things.
For Qin Qiong's illness, more exercise on weekdays is helpful for his physical recovery.
It won't work immediately, but it will pay off if you persist for a long time.
Li Yue's little face was a bit proud, her husband's medical skills could still treat the general.
I sat in Qin Qiong's mansion for a while and talked about the recent physical changes.
I also told Qin Qiong what I need to pay attention to in my daily diet.
Looking at a pot of cooked fried pork liver, Li Yue frowned when he smelled it. He had also eaten fried pork liver made by Zhang Yang, but it had such a strong fishy smell.
This pork liver is very fishy when you smell it.
Zhang Yang also looked confused, "Does the general eat like this on weekdays?"
Qin Qiong smiled and said, "I eat this way on weekdays. I was a little uncomfortable at first, but after eating it for a long time, I realized that this food is quite good."
Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly, "The general is so harsh."
Qin Qiong sang a piece, "Would you like to try it too?"
"No need." Zhang Yang waved his hand and said: "Soak the pork liver with water and vinegar for half a column of incense. After removing the blood water, add pickles and garlic to stir-fry for a better taste."
Qin Qiong nodded, and the villain on the side heard it and said immediately: "Let's go and make a new dish."
A pot of fried pork liver was served. It was much better this time, at least there was no fishy smell.
Qin Qiong took a bite of the pork liver that was fried for the second time, thought about it and said, "It doesn't have any taste anymore. I still like the previous one."
“The General’s taste is quite unique.”
"Would the prince consort and the princess want to stay for dinner?"
Zhang Yang looked at Li Yue with a confused look on his face, raised his hands and said, "We have decided to go to the fiefdom at noon, but I'm afraid we won't be able to stay for dinner."

Qin Qiong ate pork liver in her mouth and said, "Then next time, I must stay for dinner next time."
"Let's take our leave now."
Qin Qiong personally escorted the couple out of the mansion.
Walking on the street, Li Yue still looked a little confused.
I have to say that Qin Qiong’s food was indeed a bit heavy.
Li Yue held Zhang Yang's arm and said, "I hope the general's health will get better soon."
"I hope so."
The two of them walked all the way to the gate of Chang'an City.
The groom has now started a long-term rental business with others.
At this moment, he was talking about business with others, "I always use money as a deposit. One hundred dollars a month is the rent. If the customer no longer wants to rent at any time, the deposit can be refunded. If the horse is lost or injured,
This money is a deposit and will not be refunded.”
The customer hesitated for a long time before paying.
The groom negotiated the deal.
Seeing Zhang Yang again, the groom laughed and said, "The business method provided by my little brother is really interesting. This way we can save horses."
These grooms used to be single-handed traders. Today, they can make a profit if they sell a horse. Sometimes, there may be no business for several days in a row.
With this long-term rental business, it is a long-term profitable business for them. Compared with the previous business, they can earn more and are more stable.
The most important thing is to always keep some horses on hand.
Zhang Yang nodded clearly, "As long as you can make money."
The groom took out a bunch of money and handed it over, "Take this money. This is the rental fee paid by the guest before. You won't have to pay for the carriage here in the future."
The car rental business is a long-term profitable business for the groom, and it can also keep some good horses for himself.
"I also plan to work with other grooms to start this business. They all have good horses."
After receiving the money from the groom, Zhang Yang said: "Okay, I won't tell anyone about this business in the future."
The groom smiled and nodded, thinking that this young man was sensible.
The couple got into the carriage, Aunt Wang drove the horse, and Aunt Yang sat aside.
The carriage drove slowly towards the fiefdom.
Li Yue thought about it and said: "Wouldn't it be difficult to sell the horses in Chang'an City?"
"Many people living in Chang'an City only use horses temporarily. This horse rental business guarantees the future income of the grooms."
The groom was very smart, so he naturally understood that there would be more profits in this, and he could even form an industry chain of collecting, leasing, and raising horses.

Zhang Yang looked at the scenery along the way, but doing so had nothing to do with him, that was also their business.
The carriage didn't go very fast.
Li Yue took out the village planning map, and she was also very concerned about the construction of the village.
When the carriage passed by the village entrance, Zhang Yang saw the official again struggling with a group of children, who were tugging at his official uniform.
Entering the village, Zhang Yang and Li Yue got off the carriage.
Yan Liben stood at the entrance of the village and looked loudly, "Little brother! Little brother."
Zhang Yang ignored him and walked towards the village with Li Yue.
Houses are now being renovated in the village.
Today's houses are all rebuilt with bricks and stones.
Niu Chuang and several villagers struggled to carry the stones.
I walked around but didn't find Li Tai.
Zhang Yang asked curiously: "Where is His Royal Highness the King of Wei?"
Niu Chuang finished stacking the stones and replied: "I haven't seen King Wei for two days. Maybe he is busy with other things."
I don’t know if this little fat guy has given up.
The villagers still wore the same shabby clothes as before, some clothes sewn from linen and cloth.
They left a thousand silver coins in the village, but they seldom spent it on themselves.
However, the food aspect has improved a lot.
Most of the money was spent on the construction of the village.
A lot of wood, stone, and grain were bought in the village.
You say collect grain. If you collect some of their grain, many people in the village may be hungry.
Since everyone will live together in the future, and these households are the wife's food households, then we should try our best to make everyone live a better life.
Every era has its own way of living, and Zhang Yang does not want to use his own ideas to force them to live their lives.
When I came to the village for the first time and saw how they lived, I couldn't exploit the villagers at all.
Li Yue also followed her through the poor days, and she also knows the hardship of life.
It seems that Li Yue can still chat with the aunts in the village for a few words.
Several little puppies were wagging their tails vigorously around their feet, which made Li Yue full of love. He touched this one, hugged that one, and even took out some dried meat to feed them.
It's okay if I don't feed him now. If I feed him, the puppies will follow Li Yue.
He kept rubbing her feet, which even made it difficult for Li Yue to walk.
It's a good thing to have love, but if you go too far and get entangled by a puppy, Li Yue's love gradually breaks down and her little face looks flustered.
"If you follow me again, I will tie you to the sky lantern and let you go to heaven!" Li Yue shouted to the group of puppies with great momentum.
The puppy couldn't understand what she said, and its tail wagged even more vigorously.
Zhang Yang looked at the pile of stones. Although the quality of the stones was a bit poor, these stones were pretty good for those who could buy them.
Grabbing Zhang Yang's arm, Li Yue pointed at the puppy clinging to her, feeling aggrieved.
It wasn't until the villagers on the side yelled and cursed that the puppies dispersed.
"The princess was frightened, and the villain chopped up all these puppies."
Li Yue held Zhang Yang's arm and said with some shame: "No, no, no, keep it, I can still look after the house in the future."
"Well, let's save their lives first."
…
Li Yue whispered: "It's so cruel. Such a cute puppy will be chopped into pieces if he disagrees with her."
Zhang Yangxin said, aren't you cruel? You sent a little pig to heaven, have you considered the pig's feelings?
"This shows that the villagers support you so much."
Li Yue raised her chin, "They also support their husbands."
"Let's go to Lishan for a walk."
"good."
The couple walked hand in hand towards Lishan Mountain.
There is only one trail going up the mountain. This trail is a bit difficult to walk. There is a flight of stairs on the mountainside.
Sitting on a flat ground on the mountainside of Lishan Mountain, Aunt Wang opened the food box, which contained some food brought from home.
There are rice balls made of millet rice in the food box, and some pickles and dried meat are also wrapped in the rice balls.
From here, you can overlook the entire village.
Li Yue chewed the rice ball with her small mouth, eating each bite with gusto.
She took out another duck leg from the food box and started to chew it again.
Zhang Yang took out his water bag, drank a sip of hot water, spread out a clean cloth, lay down and looked at the blue sky.
Feeling the mountain breeze makes people want to doze off unconsciously.
I saw Li Yue burping. It was the time when her body was growing, and her appetite was always very good. I was really worried that she would become a chubby girl after eating.
The couple ate and lay down for a while.
The scenery of Lishan Mountain is very good. On the mountain is the royal palace, and there are people taking care of it on weekdays.
After resting for a while, the two of them walked up the mountain, treating it as a walk to eat.
As I was walking, there seemed to be some animal movement in the bushes not far away, coming towards here. Then I looked closely and saw a person crawling out of the bushes.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Aunt Wang stepped forward and held the other party's arm.
Seeing that the man was about to struggle, Aunt Wang threw him cleanly over her shoulder and threw him to the ground.
The man let out a scream in pain, then rolled down the mountain and hit a tree before stopping.
"who!"
Aunt Wang stepped forward again and shouted: "Who is it?"
"I am Yan Liben, Minister of Industry."
Yan Liben held his waist and felt so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.
Li Yue saw the other party's official uniform and said, "It seems like he is really an official."
Zhang Yang also said: "Maybe it's a fake."
Aunt Wang said: "How to deal with this person."
Li Yue said: "Leave it to the government."
"Wait!" Yan Liben took out his official seal.
Yan Liben was also confused now. He thought that he wanted to go around to the village from Lishan Mountain, but he didn't expect to meet such a strong woman. In this village and in this place, even women are so strong.
Which princess did he bump into?
Aunt Wang looked at Yan Liben's official uniform, then at the official seal and said, "There shouldn't be any fake ones."
Yan Liben looked at Zhang Yang, "Huh? It's you again, little brother."
Zhang Yang smiled awkwardly.
Yan Liben stood up again and said, "I was ordered by Your Majesty to build a flush toilet, so I came to the princess fief for questioning. I didn't expect the villagers here to be so tough. I really made a mistake."
"Are you the Minister of Industry?"
"Exactly."
"Are you going to build a flush toilet?"
Yan Liben explained: "The eunuchs in the palace have drawn it. Since I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I can't be sure. Your Majesty asked me to come and make inquiries. I couldn't get into the village, so I had to make this plan. Who knows..."
"Can you avoid being misunderstood when you emerge from the forest like this?"
"It's because the official didn't think carefully."
Yan Liben bowed and apologized again.
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "What do you use to make a flush toilet?"
Yan Liben bowed and saluted, "I said it was a decree, so of course it is for His Majesty's use. Is it for me?"
Zhang Yang added: "Since His Majesty is using this, our Majesty should also budget for it."
"Budget?"
"It's just wages."
Yan Liben nodded vigorously, "Of course the palace will calculate the cost of building a flush toilet."
Li Shimin's budget for building a flush toilet should be quite high.
Zhang Yang added: "When learning from others, you must show some sincerity."
Yan Liben stayed for a moment. There were some grass leaves hanging in his hair. He had just been thrown to the ground. Now there was still some mud on his face. He wiped his face with his sleeve, "Sincerity? What sincerity?"
Zhang Yang took out a list and said, "Actually, that flush toilet is not easy to build either. I just need some materials here. When you get all these materials, it won't be a problem to build a flush toilet."
Yan Liben suffered a lot of injustice in this village for a flush toilet.
