The genius was bright, and before the rooster crow, Ling Jing woke up from his dream. He was old and had too little sleep.
People in this era, regardless of their status, age, gender, all get up early. Ling Jing dressed neatly and walked out. His daughter-in-law outside had already filled the hot water and the food was placed on the table.
Now Ling Jing has entered the Tiance Mansion and served as a soldier to join the military. He has also been entrusted by the King of Qin with the power to act as an agent to review documents. He has great power in the Tiance Mansion for a while. Even if he is placed in the entire Chang'an City, his status is not high, but his power is not small and he is quite popular. Pay attention to.
Such a person has no servants at home.
The Ling family was a poor family and was not used to using servants. Their two daughters-in-law were responsible for household chores. The Li family was the only one in the village who had servants, and they were sent by Li Kai.
While eating breakfast, Ling Jing frowned slightly when he heard the commotion outside.
"Huairen has trapped a bunch of children, and you don't know what to do?" The eldest son laughed and said, "Huairen actually plays well with the children."
Ling Jing nodded slightly, thinking that Li Shan had a way of winning people's hearts by being gentle with children... So Li Shan always felt that Ling Jing's heart was too dirty, and it was obviously my childlike innocence that was still intact!
After breakfast, Ling Jing went out and prepared to enter the city. He glanced at Li Shan, who had his hands in his sleeves and was explaining something to the half-grown children who had gathered around him.
Taking a few steps forward, Ling Jing listened to a few words and couldn't help but feel a little dark.
"Yes, yes, it's that white!"
"You must not pick red ones... they may be poisonous."
"Anyway, we'll sort them into categories when we get back... Come on, it rained last night, so there must be a lot of mushrooms on the mountain. Let's get a chicken for each person!"
A group of children ran away in a swarm with cages on their backs. Ling Jing scolded: "You are so early in the morning, disturbing people's dreams!"
"Hey, Uncle Ling, a few days ago you said... I'm too old to sleep..." Li Shan coughed twice, "Besides, everyone is up."
Ling Jing glanced at the children who were running away, frowned and said: "It is not for a gentleman to be greedy for enjoyment..."
"Uncle Ling, we have business today." Li Shan said seriously, "I made a pot and invited Brother Xiaoqing, Brother Demou and other friends to gather together today."
During such a long period of time, Li Shan seemed to have done a lot of things, such as making wine and dealing with snow disasters, but in fact most of the things did not require him to do it himself.
There are only two things that are really hands-on, one is cultivating bacteria in a house that is always warm as spring, and the other is adjusting the hot pot base in the kitchen.
After more than a month of repeated trials, Li Shan finally came up with a base that he was satisfied with... Actually, he wasn't quite satisfied. After all, hot pot without chili has no soul.
In this life, Li Shan has no intention of tasting chili pepper again... In this era, the so-called "spicy" means "spicy".
That's it, just think of it as eating the bottom of the mushroom king's pot. Yesterday Li Shan sent a lot of posts, inviting people to try it.
Ling Jing, who thought there was something serious, laughed angrily, "There are two days until the scientific examination, and you haven't prepared for it yet, so you are so ridiculous... Where is your mother?!"
Well, during this period, Li Shan dealt with the snow disaster, focused on selling wine, and adjusting ingredients... But in Ling Jing's opinion, the most important thing for you is to prepare for the scientific examination.
"Mother went to Dongshan Temple..."
"The old lady is in the backyard..."
The first sentence is from Li Shan, and the second sentence is from Ma Zhou who just left home.
After being quiet for a moment, Li Shan spoke eloquently, "I usually study diligently, but now I have to relax. Being too tense is not a good thing."
"Just like the elite soldiers in the army, they exercise their bodies and practice martial arts diligently on weekdays, but they must rest well and build up their strength before going into battle."
"When a soldier goes into battle, if he has saliva in his mouth, he is neither panic nor excited, but treats it as a normal thing, then he is an elite soldier!"
Ma Zhou and Ling Jing looked at each other. These words... seemed to make sense?
Li Shan has rich experience in this area. This is what his head teacher told him before the college entrance examination... Don't read and answer questions three days before the exam. Just relax and have fun.
Of course, you can’t play too crazy. There was a loser in Li Shan’s high school graduating class who arranged a night before the exam. He went directly from the Internet cafe to the exam room... and the end result was extremely miserable.
"I'm going to take the exam in two days, and I'm just about to relax..."
Li Shan was still there to promote his theory, and Ling Jing suddenly realized, "If you study diligently on weekdays, you really need to relax before the exam."
"But are you diligent in studying every day?"
Ma Zhou held back his laughter and added insult to injury, "It's obvious that he is diligent in having fun."
Li Shan's face turned a bit dark. After thinking about it for a while, he said unconvinced: "The meaning of the classics should be fine. Poems and poems...the right way is that the articles are made by nature and can be obtained by chance."
"The article was originally written by nature, but a clever hand accidentally found it?" Ling Jing was startled, "Let me recite the whole article and listen to it."
Ma Zhou asked angrily: "Did you come here again by listening to other people's chanting in Lingnan?"
This reason... Li Shan no longer needs it, after all, he will go to the battlefield the day after tomorrow!
So, Li Shan thought about it and said honestly: "I forgot."
I really forgot about this. These two lines are so famous that I really don’t remember the whole poem... I just remember that it was written by Lu You of the Southern Song Dynasty.
But Ling Jing didn't believe it, and Ma Zhou didn't believe it either. He kept asking. Li Shan's head was as big as a bucket. When he saw the carriage approaching, he quickly urged Ling Jing to get on the carriage.
"Why don't you recite the whole article and listen to it?" Ma Zhou continued to ask: "The article was originally written by nature, but it was accidentally acquired by a good hand... It is a wonderful pen that is full of twists and turns."
"Get out!" Li Shan scolded: "There are still many things to do today!"
Today, a total of twelve people were invited, including Li Kai, Li Daoxuan, Li Zhaode, Wang Renbiao, Changsun Chong, Fang Yizhi, Gao Xingcheng, Yuchi Baolin, Cheng Yaojin's eldest son, Du He, Li Shan and Ma Zhou.
There is not such a big table, and there is not such a big hot pot, so Li Shan decided to divide it into two tables and asked Qi Laoliu to make two copper hot pots in advance... Li Shan had used this thing in the countryside in his previous life.
The sauces and base ingredients are all ready, as well as frozen tofu, tofu clothes, qianzhang, mutton, duck intestines, beef... It was because of the beef that Li Zhaode had someone deliver yesterday that Li Shancai thought about making hot pot.
In addition, they also prepared egg dumplings and quail eggs. Li Shan had people go to the Jing River to buy dozens of fish, hammer them into minced meat, and roll them into fish balls... It's a pity that this is the north and there are no prawns, otherwise we could have made shrimp balls.
.
There were few vegetables in this season, only Chinese cabbage, so Li Shan asked the children to go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms.
Li Shan prepared with great enthusiasm... Mainly because he was greedy. When he was in Hebei, he had thought that he must get a hot pot to eat when he returned to Zhujiagou!
It's a pity that only beef was delivered... I can't eat tripe today.
The sound of horse hoofbeats sounded outside the door, and Li Shan didn't go out to greet him. He was still making egg skins in the kitchen, so he just shouted.
"Huairen!"
"This way!"
"Brother Huairen!"
It was Li Zhaode who rushed in, "Brother Huairen, it's not good!"
Li Shan put a crooked egg skin into Baba's waiting mouth and asked casually: "Master was captured by a monster?"
Li Zhaode was confused when he heard this. He was stunned for a moment and shouted: "The Chang'an County government has sealed the door of Yuhuchun Winery!"
"What?" Li Shan straightened up and his eyes collided with Li Kai's outside the door.
Isn't it Li Dewu's fault again?
Yuhuchun was widely spread in Guanzhong for a while, and he was named by a saint. Many high-ranking officials and noble families sent servants to buy wine. Only Li Dewu would go crazy and seal the door!
But Li Kai outside the door nodded helplessly, and then shook his head slightly.
It means that the door is indeed closed, but it should have nothing to do with Li Dewu.
