Chapter 752: A bunch of loyal hearts

"Why do you have to do it? I don't even know the technology of exchanging one life. Even if they want to change it, they can't change it. The villagers in Luzhou are still too simple and know too little scientific knowledge. They muttered nonsense, which made me feel uncomfortable."

Zhang Xiaobao deliberately said nonsense, but then couldn't help but sigh.

Wang Juan raised his hand and knocked on the door. The sound of "dongdong" accompanied by the raindrops, giving people a dull feeling.

"Who?" After a while, the corner door of the gate was opened from the inside, revealing a head to look out. When he saw the faces of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he opened his mouth in surprise and didn't know how to speak.

"It's almost noon. Xiaobao and I want to find a place to eat. I wonder if it's convenient for your mansion?" Wang Juan said to the poked head with a smile.

The head lit up hard: "It's convenient, it's convenient when you come to eat."

After saying this, my head was so excited that I closed the door again with a "bang". Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan heard someone shouting and running inside.

"Master, madam, it's not good. Someone is here to have a meal. Please make someone prepare quickly. It's not good."

"If our inner courtyard is like him, I'll kick him away long ago. If I can't kick him away, I'll leave myself. If I'm too uneasy when I encounter something, I'll let us in for tea first."

Listening to the movement inside, Zhang Xiaobao sighed again.

"The problem is that our family is not a second-hand courtyard, and the money spent is different. Don't be idle lately. When your younger brother and sister come out, you have to help you name it. If there are too many children, it will be very noisy."

Wang Juan touched the door with his hand. The paint did not fall off due to rain. Based on the feel of the hand, there was a layer of shiny oil outside the paint. The yield of this product was very low and needed oil-based products to blend. There was gasoline inside, not soybean oil. There was only one place in Datang, which was produced by the Ministry of Industry.

"Xiaobao, you see, we found a wealthy family as soon as we searched. The second-entry yard can actually be used with shiny oil. Many officials who entered the third-entry yard have never heard of this thing."

Wang Juan shook his finger and said to Zhang Xiaobao.

Zhang Xiaobao agreed: "It's not just as wealthy. I would have known that I would have changed my family, so it makes people feel that we came here deliberately."

"It's not intentional. I testify that fate is all fate." As soon as Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking, a woman's voice came from inside, which looked a little hoarse, and she sounded like she was not young.

Then the messy footsteps sounded, and I was slapped in the water. As soon as the door opened, an old lady with a gorgeous hair on her head stood out with her waist up.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan quickly supported each other, and Wang Juan said, "Old lady, you can't do this. Xiaobao and I walked to the palace and were just hungry and asked for a bowl of rice."

"It's good to be hungry. It's only when you're hungry that you're destined to be together. Why don't you go anywhere else? How many people want to kiss you and Xiaobao for a meal? When they arrive in front of my house, they can't let you run away. The servant is ignorant and runs back. If they're smart, they've already used a rope to wrap you around. If they leave, wouldn't they regret it for the rest of their lives?"

The old lady with white hair looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. There was not as scared as many people, just like facing her younger generation.

If it were ordinary people, they would be respectful only by the old lady's style. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were also respectful, but they had nothing to do with the old lady's style. Older people would respect them as long as they were not the kind of person who disrespected the old.

So the two of them helped the old lady into the door, and the people in the yard began to get busy, and the chefs were even more energetic.

The old lady kept leading Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan into the living room, letting them sit down, and then she said to Zhang Xiaobao affectionately: "Qiao'er and the others are coming soon? Calculate the day, which is just a few days."

Zhang Xiaobao was stunned and thought to himself, why are you so enthusiastic about giving birth to a baby? But he said, "It's so fast, it's just that I've been stuffy, hot and tide on rainy days recently, and I'm afraid it's not good for my health."

"You have to be careful. Your family's life is better, and my family will be better. When your father took your mother away, he hid in my inn. When a yamen runs over, I stuffed your father and mother into the cellar and said I didn't see you. Later, your family is promising, and I benefited from it. I moved to Luzhou two years ago. It's good here, and it's not cold in winter."

The old lady held Wang Juan's hand and looked at Zhang Xiaobao and talked about the past.

"Ah? Grandma Huang, it's actually coming to your house. Juanjuan and I are actually planning to find a family to have dinner. It's really fate." Zhang Xiaobao realized that he didn't take any gifts and knew why he could use shiny oil.

The only thing Zhang Xiaobao could do was bow, and Wang Juan stood up obediently and bent down with Zhang Xiaobao.

"Okay, just like your father and mother, you are a handsome man and a natural couple. At that time, the yamen runners told me that your parents had violated the law and that being an old woman was so easy to fool? I said I don't know, what can they do to me? I, a widow, have two children, dare they bully me?

In my life, I have done a lot of wrong things, but I just have to do the right thing. At least my two children are married now, and they all have a bright future.

Don’t worry about your mother, God and I have discussed it. If there is something to do, I will come to me for one’s life. Old lady, I live so old. The only regret is that I have never seen your grandfather with my own eyes. If it were him today, I would stand at the door and scold him and have a great time."

The old lady has reached a certain age and does not need to pretend to be hypocritical. She directly expresses her thoughts without any concealment.

"What Grandma Huang said was that I felt uncomfortable at first, but then I thought about it. At first, my father's status was indeed much different. Even if he is a minister of work now, there was a big gap compared with his grandfather at that time. But I can't hold my mother in the middle, and my grandfather's family also showed the sincerity he deserved. Grandma Huang, are you still used to living here?"

Zhang Xiaobao also said very calmly. Now no one in my grandfather's family dares to look down on his father anymore. They say that people live to fight for a breath, but when they fight for this breath, what they get is not imagination and relief, but a sigh. Time is ruthless, why bother looking back?

"Okay, okay, don't mention the past. Have a meal. Unfortunately, you are the only two of you here today. It would be fun if a group of little guys come with you too." Old Mrs. Huang said regretfully.

No one mentioned what foods are like. The chef can do his best to show his skills. If he really wants to compete, he might as well go back and cook them. What kind of delicacies cannot be obtained?

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not picky either. They can eat what others can eat. In order to survive, they can eat both of them who cannot eat.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan found a place to provide meal tickets and felt comfortable eating, while Li Longji could not find the meal tickets. They asked people to search for it. After finding it fruitless, they had to ask the imperial chefs who came with him to make lunch.

"The two of them definitely ran out to steal food. They threw me here and were hungry. They didn't act like brothers or sisters like this. Xiao Bei, are you right?"

Li Longji felt that the lunch cooks were much worse, so he muttered a few dissatisfaction, and then grabbed Xiao Bei to join the alliance.

Xiaobei was eating soup rice, and there were several side dishes on the table. Because only the soup was clean, and the side dishes were prepared by her family. Other things were carved into beautiful patterns. She didn't dare to eat them. They were both tofu and bamboo shoots, carved into the shape of a scattered flower of the goddess. It was not a tofu and bamboo shoot? It was OK to put on the appearance, but it was not OK to eat it, for fear of eating it badly.

At this moment, when he heard the emperor's question, Xiao Bei stopped the chopsticks and replied seriously: "Yes, yes, I planned to eat wontons at noon today. It seems that I have to wait until the evening. Now I can only deal with it.

Uncle, please tell the masters of the imperial kitchen that you should not use tofu to carve things in the future. They just need to cut the ingredients well and do not need advanced carving art. If they really compare carving, can they be better than special carving? The strong country will not show their status in the form of banquets, and those who are hungry and cold will only beg for warmth.

My China is called Xia, and the beauty of the clothes and seals is called Hua, but what is beauty? I think the beauty of clothing lies in its body, the beauty of food lies in its taste, the beauty of stay lies in its suitability, and the beauty of action lies in its rhyme, so... Xiaoyuan."

Xiaoyuan was shot while lying down, and it had nothing to do with him. Although he just drank soup and ate side dishes, of course, the same was true for other children. The dish was made so scary that it was not suitable for home food. The good food was originally arranged in various shapes, so people always thought that it had been touched by someone when they were eaten. How disgusting it was.

Hearing Xiaobei turn the topic around, Xiaoyuan stopped his chopsticks helplessly and said, "so, oh, so, the etiquette lies in the heart and mind rather than the form, the beauty takes its appearance rather than the flowers, the buds are about to bloom in spring, the flowing water in the summer solstice is for the flowers, the falling leaves are also for the flowers, the cold winter is for the cold plums and snow are even more for the flowers, the ordinary, the vastness of Chang'an does not require the flowers, and the surging sea is not for the rushing sea.

We just had a meal, and they were carved like this and that. I have seen carvings before. My carvings are all carved jade. In the future, the imperial chef can change them and practice carvings, but don’t use 90% of the dishes I cook every time to show the carving skills.

Isn’t that idle? Uncle, please look at this, sheep liver, who hollowed it into a plum blossom?”

"There are also onions." Xiaobei reminded: "The one below is the white onion, which is regarded as snow, and is made of a cold plum blossom shape. Both are considered tonics. You tear off one of the lamb liver, hold it together with the green onions, and eat it with the garlic-soluble spicy sauce next to it. The garlic-soluble spicy sauce is red, called a little plum blossom and a little red, strengthening the body."

Li Longji blushed. Zhang Xiaobao was not here today, so he asked the imperial chefs to cook the second dish, but the two little guys were demoted to nothing. Even his own son and daughter followed suit and only drank soup.

"In the future, the carving work in the imperial kitchen will not be allowed to exceed 40% of the carving work, and I will not be able to devote my energy to the knife skills." Li Longji spoke.

As a result, after a meal, Li Longji became even more depressed and didn't eat well.

The rain stopped in the afternoon. He led his head to walk outside, but found that there were fewer people outside. He usually saw many carriages when he went out, but today he only passed by sporadically.

"Where is the person?" Li Longji asked in wonder.

"When you go back to your Majesty, you've gone home to burn incense. The wives of Zhang and Wang's family have already shown signs of giving birth. The clinic is on high alert, and there are still many people around and not let others get close. There is a charcoal fire nearby, saying it is to drive away the cold."

Gao Lishi received a report from the people below and said to Li Longji.
