    Mrs. Liu looked like an angry female animal at this time, and her gaze was chilling.  </p> But the strategy she proposed made Ye Mei unable to agree.  Because Ye Ming is really not sure that he can persuade the clan leader.  </p> "Well, there is a way. You don't need to ask the clan leader." Ye Zhu glanced at Mrs. Liu and said cautiously: "Isn't your brother just serving in Zhechong Mansion? I heard that in the county today  , Zhe Chong Mansion wants to select someone to serve as a guard. The second branch is a mandarin soldier. Just ask your brother to recruit him to the capital. "</p> "You old guy, you still have some ideas, this is good, this is the best.  Okay." Madam Liu laughed like a cock.  </p> At this time, the military system of the prefecture is close to collapse, and the fangsuwei system is also close to paralysis. Therefore, although there are such rumors in the county, in fact, there are almost no troops to send to each Zhechong prefecture.  There is room for manipulation in this. Those with connections can be exempted from military service and will not be held accountable by the superiors. Those without connections can use money to manage their affairs and do not have to go to Chang'an to stay as guards.  As for those who have neither money nor connections, they will inevitably suffer some losses.  </p> Liu¡¯s brother holds a position in Wu Zechong¡¯s house, so there is no problem in manipulating Ye Shu.  </p> "There is also Liu Kun. He and his mother-in-law were sent to Fubushan to visit the kilns, so that they would not be able to come back for ten days and a half." Ye Zhu said again.  </p> "Old man, stand up." After hearing this, Mrs. Liu asked Ye Miao to stand up, and then turned to Liu Gui, with a fierce look in her eyes: "You are over there at Sanzhi, and you will take action when you see the opportunity.  That silly girl Xiang'er, let her take the blame for you and put some medicine in the water or food that the little beast drinks"</p> Liu Gui suddenly felt horrified, this is murder!  </p> His hesitation made Ye Ming next to him cough: "After this is done, let your whole family live. You have accumulated some wealth over the years and have a clean background. Are you afraid that you will not have a good life?"  </p> Liu Gui was overjoyed when he heard this.  </p> Who wants to be a slave and a servant for the rest of his life, and his children and grandchildren will be other people¡¯s servants for generations!  He, Liu Gui, had been with the Liu family for decades. Although the Liu family treated him well, because he was a servant, he never got married and didn't even have any children. This has always been his regret.  </p> If Liu Gui could be released, become a free man, and become a mother-in-law, Liu Gui's life would be worth it.  </p> "Mr. and Madam, please rest assured, the villain will do a perfect job!" Liu Guidao.  </p> They had finished their conspiracy. Liu Gui saw that it was getting late and that if he did not go back, he might arouse suspicion, so he bowed and resigned.  When he returned to Ye Chang's house, he found that Ye Chang had returned, which surprised Liu Gui.  </p> The look on Ye Chang¡¯s face was also a little strange.  </p> "I asked you to chop firewood, but where did the person slip away?" Seeing him coming back, Ye Chang snorted: "Pack it up, follow me into the mountains tomorrow, I'm going to dig medicine."</p> "  Yes." Liu Gui was curious about what Ye Chang was called to do by the head of the Ye family, but he knew that Ye Chang didn't trust him at all, so he didn't say anything else.  </p> Liu moved quickly. On the evening of the second day, Ye Chang took Liu Gui around in the mountains for a long time and picked some fungi. When he came back, he saw his brother Ye Shu appearing in front of him with an anxious look on his face.  in the small courtyard.  </p> "Brother, is there something wrong?" Ye Chang asked.  </p> "Sanlang, when I am not at home, you should take more care of me at home." Ye Shu thought for a while before speaking: "I know that you are now different from others, you are smart, and I can't compare with you, so  Even the clan leader can¡¯t compare with you.¡±</p> ¡°Brotherwhat does this mean?¡± Ye Chang was slightly surprised.  </p>???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? "It's my turn this time to go to the guard." Ye Shu scratched his head in distress: "According to the military system, I have to go to Beijing for a month this time, and with the round trip, I am afraid that there will be two  Yue, I can only rest assured if I can trust you with my family affairs."</p> Ye Chang had some impression of the military system, but he didn't know that the military system had collapsed at this time, so he just said "oh".  Ye Shu hesitated for a moment and then said: "You have to be careful yourself. On the other side of Changzhi peace is more important."</p> "I understand." Ye Chang stepped forward and patted Ye Shu on the shoulder: "Brother  Don't worry, it's just two months of service. Come back in two months and make sure that your sister-in-law and your family are in peace." "Anyway, I'm done. When I come back, I'll bring you some Chang'an products," Ye Shuqiang said.  Smiled a little.  </p> The two brothers exchanged a few words of advice, and Ye Shu went back to his home. From his few words, Ye Chang felt a deep concern. He came not so much to entrust family affairs, but to  He was worried that if Ye Chang caused trouble after he left, there would be no one to deal with it.  At this time, Ye Chang still felt a little funny. After these few days of contact, he found that his brother was really an honest person, but that was all. His ability was mediocre, and his knowledge and intelligence were far inferior to that of his sister-in-law Fang.  </p> &nbsp; In the next few days, Ye Shu was busy buying equipment for the trip, while Ye Chang still took Liu Gui into the mountains every day, looking for medicinal materials such as fungus, mushrooms, and Ganoderma lucidum.  Perhaps because of the dry weather, these fungi, which were not uncommon in the mountains, are now much less common. After a few days, he only found a few kilograms.  </p> Seeing that it was time for Ye Shu to leave, Ye Chang invited Ye Shu, Fang and Haier over the night before.  </p> They have been married for some years. They have a son and a daughter. The son is older, already five years old. He chases Ye Chang behind and calls him Uncle Eleven. The daughter is only over two years old and looks like a square boy.  Shi, the pink and jade looks average, just a little on the thin side.  Invited by Ye Chang, the whole family arrived at Sanzhi's small courtyard. As soon as they entered the door, they smelled a refreshing aroma.  </p> ¡°Uncle Eleven is cooking delicious food!¡± Ye Cinu cheered.  </p> ¡°The young man who gave me the slave guessed right, the eleventh man is cooking by himself!¡± Xiang¡¯er squatted in the yard to pick up vegetables: ¡°The slave wanted to help, but was kicked out. When did the eleventh man learn to cook?  He asked the carpenter to dig out a shovel, saying he was going to stir-fry"</p> Ye Chang was indeed stir-frying.  </p> In the Tang Dynasty, cooking skills were already extremely advanced, but stir-frying, the most commonly used form in later generations, had not yet become popular.  Ye Chang has eaten the food cooked by Xiang'er in the past few days, and it has gone from being sweet at first to being nauseating now. Finally, when Ye Shu was about to leave, he took it as an excuse to see Ye Shu off and started to do it himself.  </p> The ingredients are a bit lacking. There is no shortage of sweet, sour and bitter flavors, but the spiciness is lacking.  In the Tang Dynasty, dogwood, Sichuan peppercorns, etc. were used as spicy seasonings, but compared with real peppers, their taste always made Ye Chang feel a little weird.  Fortunately, what Ye Chang is cooking now is not the Hunan or Sichuan cuisine of later generations, and he is not so particular about spiciness.  </p> The first dish is the famous Mrs. Song¡¯s fish soup. The slopes of Wu Ze are short of water, but Wu Ze itself is not short of water. It is named after "Ze". Hundreds of years ago, there was a large lake nearby. Now,  Although the lake was dry, there were still some small ponds, so Ye Chang bought two fish.  One of the sea bass is paired with shiitake mushrooms, shredded dried bamboo shoots, shredded pork, green onions, rice wine, vinegar and soy sauce to create this large bowl of amber-like creamy delicacy.  </p> "Uncle Eleven, Uncle Eleven, what kind of dish is this?"</p> Everyone took a small spoonful of a bowl. After everyone tasted it, Sinu jumped out and asked.  </p> ¡°This is Mrs. Song¡¯s fish soup, how does it taste?¡±</p> ¡°It¡¯s delicious, I want more!¡± Cinu said as he set the bowl.  </p> "Gi Nu!" Fang smacked his little hand angrily. Ci Nu's eyes widened and he looked at his mother with some confusion. Fang then said: "Your Uncle Eleven hasn't eaten yet.  !¡±</p> ¡°I¡¯ve already eaten it on the stove,¡± Ye Chang said with a smile, ¡°If you like it, you can eat more, but better ones will come later, so don¡¯t be greedy!¡±  </p> Xiao Ci Nu was in trouble. This "Song Yueyu" is really delicious, but listening to the tone of the eleven uncle, there are better food.  ?  </p> While he was pondering this important question, the little girl next to him pushed the bowl in front of her: "Seven, seven!"  "Eat" was changed to "seven". Ye Chang saw them all eating sweetly, and his heart was filled with joy.  </p> His second dish was brought out, and Mrs. Fang said "Huh" when she saw it: "Sunflower meatballs?" </p> "Does sister-in-law know this dish?" Ye Chang was also a little stunned, he  I thought that the dishes I cooked had not appeared in this era.  </p> "When Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty visited Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, he served Yangzhou's four famous sceneries as dishes, among which the sunflower hill was the one, which is the sunflower meatballs" Fang's face changed slightly: "This is the most famous dish in this dynasty.  The chef who is good at this dish is Wei Gong, the Duke of Xi. When did Shi Yilang learn how to make this dish? " Ye Chang couldn't help but feel curious. He didn't remember what happened before, so he didn't know the recipe?  Fang's maiden family's origin, but she can casually tell the origin of this dish, then Fang's maiden's family must have been the home of Zhongming Dingshi, but she married into the Ye family I'm afraid there is a story behind this.  </p> "When I learned it, people said that the name of this dish is lion's head." Ye Chang did not delve into the matter. Everyone has their own secrets, although these were his real contacts with Fang.  God, but he felt that his sister-in-law had a deep affection for his brother, two children, and even his brother-in-law.  </p> The third dish was Wenzheng Mountain Bamboo Shoots, but Yu Dehui had not yet been born at this time, and his "Wenzheng Mountain Fang" had no trace, so Ye Chang naturally gave this dish composed of winter bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms  The dish stewed with seven ingredients including pork and pork leg is named "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" - ??it just so happens that Busan is the secluded place of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.  Therefore, although Xiao Cinu and his sister did not know why, Ye Shu was also confused.He was confused, but his sister-in-law Fang showed a knowing smile.  </p> The fourth dish is the famous Dongpo Pork. In fact, most of the aroma of meat that everyone smells when they enter the yard is due to this famous dish.  However, what Ye Shu made is not the Dongpo pork in later Zhejiang cuisine, but the Dongpo pork made by Yongxiu in northern Jiangxi. It is made of straw (replaced with dry wheat straw) and twisted into a rope, with large pieces of pork on skewers, and cooked in a casserole.  Simmer.  In an era when meat was relatively scarce, such fat but not greasy, fragrant meat dishes were the most popular. However, at this time, little Cinu and her sister could only sigh, because they had already eaten the previous few dishes.  full.  </p> Finally, there was a pot of chicken soup with mushrooms. Ye Chang brought it up and heard a voice coming from outside the yard: "Is the eleventh son of the Ye family here?"</p> The voice sounded familiar, so Liu Gui went to open the door -  Ye Chang did not abuse him. He and Xiang'er were not allowed to serve, but they also had separate dishes and soup in their hands.  </p> Those who came in were Qin Qinshou and Lin Xizhen.  </p> ¡°Hey, Shopkeeper Qin is a rare guest, so I¡¯m not welcoming you from afar.¡± Seeing him, Ye Chang was also surprised: ¡°Come, come, it¡¯s better to come early than to come by chance. If you don¡¯t mind, please take a seat.¡±</p>  p> Mrs. Fang hurriedly got up, handed her little daughter to Xiang'er, and went into the house to get the dishes and chopsticks to put away.  If it is just a family, she can naturally go to the table and sit at the table without being particular about it, but if there are foreign guests, she has to stay out of the way.  </p> Tan Qinshou was not polite. He took the table seriously and after tasting a few dishes, he suddenly said in surprise: "There is a good cook in Shiyilang's family!"</p> "That's me." Ye Chang didn't show any concern at all.  He was ashamed to cook by himself and was quite proud of himself.  </p> "It turned out to be the craftsmanship of Eleventh Lang? Tsk tsk, it's really amazing. I never expected that Eleventh Lang has such skills! With this method, if he opens a restaurant in Chang'an City, he will be the prime minister and general. I'm afraid he will have to do it.  Attracted by the fragrance!"</p> Tan Qinshou was even more surprised when he heard what Ye Chang said.  </p> "Gulu!"</p> Before Ye Chang responded, a strange sound came from beside him. It turned out that Lin Xitong swallowed hard next to him.  Tan Qinshou was the host and could sit at the table, but he could only stand aside.  </p> ¡°Sister-in-law, give this strong man a bowl too.¡± Ye Chang said with a smile.  </p> He was not used to the eating habits of the Tang people, so he specially made a round table, and now everyone eats around the round table.  However, he could not change the habit of sitting cross-legged on the futon for the time being. This sitting posture made him very uncomfortable.  Hearing what he said, Mrs. Fang served Lin Xizhu another rice. After Lin Xizhu took it, he devoured it, which made Cinu, who was stroking her rounded belly, couldn't help but laugh.  </p> Tan Qinshou made his own. Although the dishes cooked by Ye Chang were delicious, he just tasted everything, and then put down his chopsticks: "Ye Langjun is really a strange person, he is constantly surprising."</p  > "Haha, why did Shopkeeper Qin say this?"</p> "I came here today because I heard about Ye Langjun's construction of the Hongqu Canal." Qin Qinshou made no secret: "Ye Langjun's Hongqu Canal move has already caused a sensation in Xiuwu.  When the servant heard the news, he came to see it. When he saw it, he knew Ye Langjun's cleverness and went after Lu Ban. He thought that the bamboo used to make the siphon was sold to Ye Langjun, and he felt very honored.  I came here specifically to visit Ye Langjun. I never thought that I would be entertained by my husband here and see that Ye Langjun¡¯s cooking skills are not inferior to Yi Ya. How can I not be surprised and respectful? ¡±</p> Ye Chang smiled and said humbly?  A few words.  </p> He didn¡¯t completely believe what Tan Qinshou said. How could it be possible that the news of water diversion from the Hong Canal could spread throughout the county in such a short period of time? This Tan Qinshou must have specifically inquired about it.  So he should have other plans when he came to visit this time.  </p> "In the twenty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, there was a severe drought from Xiuwu to Qinyang. If Lang Jun had the skill of diverting water from the rainbow canal, the disaster would not have been so severe. This rainbow canal diversion was given by the immortal  Ye Langjun¡¯s magic I would like to ask Ye Langjun if he can spread it to benefit the people all over the world." When Tan Qinshou said this, his eyes were bright, revealing his great ambition!  </p> </p> </p>
