Views:

"Although the old man has been eating fast and reciting Buddha for many years, his cooking skills have not fallen behind. Every time my husband comes back, he will eat the porridge I made." Seeing Li Kuan doubts about his cooking skills, Yang had to tell the truth, although she has a wife. Fame is actually no different from ordinary women, they all cook for their husbands.

Seeing that everyone was swearing to stop him from cooking, Li Kuan had no choice but to hand over the meat to Yang for processing. Zhang Chong and other four people surrounded Li Kuan and blocked his way to the kitchen to prevent him from rushing into the kitchen again on a whim. Li Kuan finally gave up and had to wait in the main hall. He wanted to show off his cooking skills, and only then bought pork, but now it is useless. ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

Half an hour later, when the dishes were on the table, Li Kuan was really shocked when he saw the dishes in front of him. This was completely different from what he ate in the palace. Almost all were steamed, not fried. Yang looked at Li Kuan anxiously, and saw that he took the chopsticks to pick up the meat and ate it, waiting expectantly for his evaluation.

Li Kuan ate the steamed meat. After chewing for two bites, he found that the taste was okay. It was similar to the steamed vegetables eaten in later generations. He took another dish and ate it. It looked like it was fried and tasted good. Yes, when other people saw him eating, they naturally moved their chopsticks.

After half an hour after eating, the four of Yang’s mother and daughter cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Li Kuan stayed in the main hall to think about the problem. Now the oil used in the Tang Dynasty is mostly sesame oil, also known as sesame oil, which is commonly known as'sesame oil', but it can be used by ordinary people. , The popularity rate is not high, cooking is mostly done by steaming, frying, roasting, etc. This makes thinking about whether it can be replaced with other dishes. Some dishes still have to be fried to taste.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Kuan didn't think about it, and went to the Zuo Pei Dian to practice the exercises with peace of mind. He is still a little uncomfortable with the weight of his body, but it is still necessary to practice martial arts. Without weapons, he has to practice martial arts.

Li Kuan didn't allow anyone to disturb him when he entered the Zuo Pei Hall. Over time, this hall became a forbidden place in the entire mansion, and no one dared to set foot. After the exercise, Li Kuan returned to the main hall to rest. Zhang Chong, Liao Fan, Leng Feng, and Fei Lian took turns on duty.

The next day, Li Kuan got up to practice again at Mao Shi. After two hours of practice, he was hungry, but there was no food in the house, so he had to go out and buy it on the street. Of course, Zhang Chong did all these things in advance. After breakfast, Li Kuan suddenly felt that there were still too few people in the house, so he asked Yang.

The Yang family thought it so, and said: "His Royal Highness is the King of Chu, and he is also the governor of Jingzhou. Only a few people in the house are really busy. It is necessary to buy some servants."

"About how many people would be better?" Li Kuan really didn't know anything about this, so she had to ask Yang, after all, she had married someone and knew how to arrange these things.

"Four handymen and four servants are enough!" Yang mused, "As for the staff of the housekeeper or the family house, and the staff of the tent house, the number of people in the house is determined by His Royal Highness."

"Are eight people enough?"

Li Kuan thought for a while. This mansion is 180 acres and covers a large area. The eight people are doing tea and water delivery, washing and cooking, and they have to clean up the house and take care of the daily necessities. Li Kuan didn't consider the matter of the housekeeper in the Fuzhong, and the guards in the Fuzhong needed to be added.

"If your Highness doesn't dislike it, how about the old man and three daughters staying in the mansion as servants?"

Yang's words made Li Kuan refused without even thinking about it. It was a big joke to make Mrs. Yang and three daughters of Rongguo stay in the mansion as servants. Mrs. Rongguo was given by the first emperor, and the weight was definitely not low. Besides, they were the orphans of Lord Ying Guo. Li Kuan didn't leave them in the house to make them servants.

"His Royal Highness, let the old man finish!" Yang said respectfully, "It is only natural for the old man and the three daughters to stay at the Royal Highness's mansion to do some servants, but they are not sold as slaves. If you live here for a long time, if you don't make some contribution, the old man The faceless stay here, and even if the old man takes his daughter back to the capital, I don’t know if his relatives are still there, or if he is staying in the temple, or he is a slave to others."

Although Yang said that she had only been with Li Kuan for just one day, her ability to look at people was definitely not much better. It was just that she was flat and unwilling to fight, which didn't mean that she wouldn't look at people. Li Kuan's behavior is indeed unexpected, but there is no prince's arrogance. He is also respectful and polite to his servants, and treats each other frankly. Such a prince Yang has never encountered him.

Rather than returning to Chang'an to go to the fence of her relatives, she knew what kind of people her relatives were. No one was as magnanimous as Li Kuan, so it was better to stay in the palace of the King of Chu, and their mother and daughter were not sold as slaves, just In exchange for one's own ability.

Li Kuan hesitated very much, but Wu Shuo suddenly jumped out and said angrily, "Couldn't it be OK for my mother and the three of us to stay in the house as servants?"

After talking about Wu Jue, she was about to cry. Both girls and women are women. Women’s tears are extremely lethal. Seeing Wu Jue’s aggrieved face, Li Kuan really didn’t want to hear her crying, so he nodded stupidly in agreement. Young's suggestion.

Suddenly Wu Jue's tears disappeared, and a smile appeared immediately. The sly eyes made Li Kuan laugh and cry, and thought: "She has figured out the routine!" Yang also covered her face and shook her head and smiled bitterly to this daughter. The two women are well-behaved and sensible, but Wu Jue is the only one who gives her some headaches as a mother.

"Since Mrs. Wu is willing to stay in the mansion, then I agree!" Li Kuan personally agreed, adding: "As for the servants and other matters in the mansion, Mrs. Wu will take a lot of care, but you have to promise everything about servants. Don't do it yourself."

The Yang family was stunned when she heard the words, and then smiled and nodded in agreement. She didn’t care if she was Mrs. Rongguo or not. The Buddhism Yang family believed in the equality of all beings. She saw this in Li Kuan’s body. Make this suggestion.

Li Kuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yang's promise. It was equivalent to the fact that the housekeeper already had a housekeeper, and Yang was the housekeeper of the governor's house. However, Li Kuan was in a very complicated mood. The dignified Mrs. Rongguo actually committed herself to being a housekeeper in her own house. If this matter was to be spread, it would not be shocking to the world.

The matter was over, Li Kuan had to admit his fate!

As the housekeeper, Yang immediately took up her post. She also Li Kuan said something that should be prepared, such as preparing food for the winter, as well as preparing flour, corn, rice, etc., which made Li Kuan a head. Two big, just let Yang decide for himself, make a list and ask Liao Fan and Fei Lian to prepare.

As for Zhang Chong and Leng Feng, they went to Bing Cao to receive the weapons used by the guards in the mansion. When they arrived at Bingcao, they learned that the weapons were collected based on heads. Everyone's name and weapons had to be registered. In desperation, the two hurried back to inform Yu Li Kuan that Li Kuan had to recruit talents first. . (End of this chapter)
