Chapter 41 The villain Li Tai

 Chapter 41 The evil guest Li Tai

After cooking a fried fish, make a bowl of fried meat with wild vegetables.

When the food was served, Zhang Yang shouted into the room: "It's time to eat."

Li Yue held the book in her hand and sat down at the dining table.

While eating the meal, Li Yue said: "I plan to plant some autumn chrysanthemums in the garden."

Chrysanthemums have always been popular with ancient people.

The same was true in the Tang Dynasty.

"It's not impossible. Chrysanthemums can be used to watch and make tea after being treated. One flower can be used for both purposes. At least it can bring some economic benefits to the garden."

Li Yue raised her chin, "Even if the flowers are like this, I can only pick them."

"Um."

"Then I'll ask Aunt Wang to find some flower seedlings for me tomorrow."

It seems that Li Yue has a firm stance on garden construction.

It's not time to plow the garden yet.

Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Actually, growing some vegetables is quite valuable."

"Really? What's so good about green vegetables?"

"It would be nice if we had a green patch of green in our yard, and we could be self-sufficient."

Li Yue snorted, "You don't understand Fengyue."

Zhang Yang said: "I am pursuing reality."

"The spinning wheel broke again. Let's repair it after dinner." After finishing the meal, Li Yue said while cleaning up the dishes. She was not very old, but she had the demeanor of a matron.

Zhang Yang walked to the spinning wheel at home and looked at the condition of the spinning wheel. Sure enough, the rope pulley was broken again.

Li Yue, who had put away the dishes and chopsticks, stood aside and said: "The clothes for winter are not ready yet."

I have already prepared the autumn clothes for the Hungry Ghost Festival, and now I am making the winter clothes.

Zhang Yang adjusted the sheave, "It's not a big problem, just make a new rivet."

Zhang Yang took out the wood at home and whittled the wood.

Li Yue raised the wick of the oil lamp to make the room brighter.

"Do you want my help?" Li Yue whispered.

"No, you can sit still."

"Um."

Li Yue nodded and looked at Zhang Yang, taking measurements from time to time, then whittling the wood with a knife and whispering: "Be careful with your hands."

After the rivets were done, Zhang Yang fixed the sheave again, "Try it now."

Li Yue tried the spinning wheel and said with a smile: "It can be used."

Zhang Yang collected the sawdust and said: "Some places are still not strong enough. I will change it tomorrow."

Aunt Wang came back from the palace in a hurry, walked into her yard, and saw two figures reflected in the window by the lights in the next house.

Two figures beside the spinning wheel.

Li Yue's figure is sitting.

Zhang Yang's figure stood aside.

You can still hear the laughter of Her Royal Highness from time to time.

Seeing this warm scene between husband and wife, Aunt Wang had a smile on her face. People often say that this is a blessing.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is willing to sacrifice even a few years of her life if she wants to be happy.

Until late at night.

Zhang Yang poured hot water into the tub.

Li Yue was in a good mood and took off her coat while humming a tune.

Zhang Yang also washed himself and looked through the window to confirm that Li Yue had fallen asleep.

Then I felt relieved and went back to my room to sleep.

The autumn hunt has been going on for some days. When the city gate just opened, Zhang Yang had been waiting here early to meet with He Fei.

Why come with a big package?

Holding it tightly with both hands, looking around from time to time for fear of someone coming to snatch it.

If it hadn't been for broad daylight, he would have looked like a thief.

Why bother to come closer and say, "Brother Xiao Zhang, let's talk in another place."

The two came to a posthouse in the city.

Why be so generous and ask for a room and just book it for a month?

Come to a room on the second floor.

Why open the package after closing the door?

What caught my eye was a bag full of copper coins.

"There is a total of one hundred and fifty silver coins here, including the money for drinks and set meals. Beggar's chickens are twenty coins each, and more than sixty of them were sold. The money for drinks is not so clear. I am too busy cooking.

Come on, stop talking about accounting."

Zhang Yang also took a breath of cold air.

He Bi explained: "As expected by Brother Zhang, business was so good yesterday that the store couldn't accommodate people. If there were enough ingredients, we could sell more. Now we can't find a piece of meat in the store."

Zhang Yang also took out his account book for purchasing ingredients and checked, excluding costs, he made a total of ninety-six dollars.

Why say with excitement, "I have never made so much money."

Zhang Yang counted the money and divided it into several parts. Each of the three people took one part. The tavern owner asked for one part and kept another part to buy ingredients.

I still have twenty dollars in my hand.

Why count the money and whisper: "Now I have enough money to marry my wife."

The two of them were counting.

Suddenly the door was kicked open.

Why rush to hold on to the money.

In front of me is a fat little fat man.

When Zhang Yang saw that the person coming was Wei King Li Tai, he shouted and asked: "Your Highness, King Wei, are you here to rob?"

Li Tai looked at the money on the table and said, "That's a lot of money."

Zhang Yang was holding a bar stool and said, "This is all our hard-earned money."

Li Tai asked with great interest, "What if I rob it?"

Zhang Yang looked at why bother, "I'll let Ding Liu crash to death in front of King Wei's house in the middle of the night, and then someone will go to Chengtian Gate to complain!"

"hiss……"

Li Tai took a deep breath, "What a cruel method."

"Want to steal money? Your Highness, King Wei, just give it a try!"

"I misunderstood, I'm not here to steal money." Li Tai sighed melancholy.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Come and see you."

Seeing that King Wei really had no intention of robbing the money, he sat down again with peace of mind.

The two then divided the money, and Zhang Yang said: "If there are enough ingredients today, how many servings can be sold?"

Why bother thinking, "The sales are pretty good, but they like our braised pork very much, and there may be more. There are tens of thousands of accompanying soldiers and horses near Lishan Mountain."

Li Tai changed his sitting posture after listening to the two people's words.

Zhang Yang said: "Prepare more ingredients. If you can't sell them, it doesn't matter. Just make bacon later."

Why nod? After this time, he will listen to Zhang Yang in everything.
