Chapter 31

Su Changqing, she can really cook!

Thank the Jade Emperor, thank God, thank the Supreme Lord, thank the Tathagata Buddha, thank all kinds of immortals, and let the beautiful boss fall into my bath bucket

No matter how much Li Heng and Peilan refused, Li forgot to worry and took them to dinner together.

In his words, there are four people in the family now. There are not so many rules. It's delicious to eat together!

What's more, he has released them. Since they are willing to stay, they are not the slaves of the family, but the family.

It's family sitting at a table! Otherwise, go out and leave Li's house.

Li Heng and Peilan were moved and frightened. They sat carefully at the low table. Li forgets to worry about that cautious and careful look.

But at the moment, he couldn't care about anything else. His saliva had become a disaster. He carefully picked up a piece of red, shiny and trembling braised meat and sent it to the entrance. The feeling of satisfaction could hardly be expressed in words.

Take the first sip of the meat skin and cut it down gently and longitudinally with your teeth. The next layer is fat meat, which is absolutely fat but not greasy. The next layer is lean meat, which melts in the mouth, and the next layer is fat meat

Li forgets to worry and finally swallows the braised meat in his mouth. He breathes a sigh of relief and compares his thumb to Su Changqing.

"Changqing, your craft is amazing!" Li forgot to worry, smacked his mouth and said with a little regret: "unfortunately, there is no pepper, and a little pepper would be better."

Li Qieyou's hometown is in Sichuan Province. It happens to be the hometown of the poet Li Bai. He likes spicy food at ordinary times.

Perrin blinked curiously, "Lang Jun, what's pepper?"

"Pepper is... Er, better than dogwood." Li forgetful worry was asked by Peilan for a long time before he thought that Datang actually eats spicy food, but the source of the spicy taste is a plant called dogwood.

Eating Cornus in the Tang Dynasty is called "three incense" together with pepper and ginger. The Cornus in Wang Weishi's "remote knowledge of the brother's climbing place, one less Cornus everywhere" refers to eating Cornus.

Think about it carefully. It seems that hot pot can be made in the future. If it's really not possible, just use Cornus instead of pepper.

Li forgot his worries and was satisfied with a meal, and Peilan and Li Heng almost swallowed their tongue.

They never thought that pork, the cheap meat eaten by the most inferior people, could make such delicious dishes.

In particular, sweet and sour ribs are loved by them.

People in the Tang Dynasty have a preference for sour and sweet food, and the practice of sweet and sour is a novelty that has never been seen before.

Even Su Changqing's vegetables fried with refined lard were eaten clean and almost licked the dishes.

"Su xiaoniang, I've never eaten such delicious food in my life." Li Heng strictly abided by the rules, but under the temptation of delicious food, he finally let go. He ate so much that the old man's stomach was round and couldn't help admiring.

"Changqing, I think if we open a restaurant, we will make a lot of money. With your skill, tut Tut, you can make the local steamed stuffed buns in Chang'an eat their tongues, ha ha." Li forgetful also smiled.

Su Changqing glanced at him angrily: "do you want to kill me?"

The little girl Peilan immediately said, "sister Changqing, teach me. I'm not afraid of fatigue. After I learn it, I can cook it for Lang Jun every day."

"Well, my sister will teach Peilan to cook in the future." Su Changqing smiled and hugged Peilan for a while. She liked this lovely and sensible little girl more and more.

Li forgot his worries and was satisfied with a rare meal. He leaned against the table and didn't want to move.

"Hey, if you can have another cigarette, it's really immortal. Li forgets sorrow and sighs.

In his previous life, he was addicted to smoking. After crossing the Tang Dynasty, he gave up smoking passively. But now he was full of wine and food, which made him want to smoke again unconsciously. Unfortunately, tobacco is still in South America. Datang doesn't have it. I can only think about it.

"Hum, I hate you smoking most. Just in time, quit smoking. Hee hee, you have nowhere to find a cigarette anyway." Su Changqing glanced at him.

Li, who was addicted to smoking, was filled with melancholy and stood up: "come on, let's have an early rest. We'll move back to Zhoucun the day after tomorrow."

In the early morning of the third day, Li Qieyou and others moved out of Li's house, finished the handover procedures with the people from the county government, got on a hired ox cart and drove to Dingzhou village.

It is said that King Wen of the Zhou Dynasty once implemented benevolent government here and cooperated with the people's livelihood, thus laying the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, so it was named Dingzhou village.

Dingzhou village is located at the foot of Shouyang mountain, with Gan River in the north and Shouyang mountain on the back. It is 20 miles away from Huxian County, and the transportation is quite convenient.

But Dingzhou village is notoriously poor in Huxian County, with barren land and limited output. Every year, the Huxian county government has a hard time collecting the rent here, because it really has no money.

Since he became rich, Li family in Huxian county has fled and moved away from Dingzhou village. He is really poor and afraid.

Li forgets worry and Su Changqing sit on the rickety ox cart. They are very novel and look at the surrounding scenery.

At this time, it was early spring, and diligent farmers in the farmland on both sides of the road began to turn over the land for spring sowing.

However, Li forgot to worry, but noticed that there were many larvae jumping in the soil turned out by the farmers, while some farmers burned incense at the edge of the field to worship, so they were curious.

"Li Heng, why are there those little insects in the earth? What are those people worshipping?"

"Mr. Hui, it's locust larvae. Alas, it rained heavily last year, but it didn't rain at the beginning of this spring. I'm afraid it's a year of drought. Those farmers are worshipping locust gods, hoping there won't be locust disasters." old Li Heng glanced at the locust larvae jumping around in the field and sighed.

"Locusts?" Li forgot to worry and felt as if he had overlooked something.

In the second year of Zhenguan, locust disaster

He suddenly remembered that he had seen in his book that during the second and third years of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, a large-scale locust disaster broke out in Guanzhong, causing a large number of locusts. There was a great drought and famine in the Guannei area. People sold more children and women in exchange for food.

Thinking of this, Li forgot to worry and couldn't help but be a little stunned. With fear in his eyes, he looked at the locust larvae in the fields.

The reason why Li forgets worry remembers this is because it was written in the book that Li Er caught a locust and ate it directly because of the plague of locusts. He said that the people live on food, and if you eat food, you are harming the people. After Li Ersheng ate locusts, locusts no longer became a disaster.

Li Qieyou thought that was the myth of Li Er. He also argued about it and said it was a show, so he had a deep memory of it.

It is now February of the second year of Zhenguan, but Li forgets to worry about the historical records that March was the time when the large-scale locust disaster began to break out in the pass.

In March of the second year of Zhenguan, locusts in the pass; In June, locusts eat crops in Gyeonggi. In May of the third year of Zhenguan, Xuzhou locust; In autumn, locusts in Germany, Dai, Kuo and other states.
