Zhang Ning's residence is indeed not very spacious. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he had two bamboo herds planted in the courtyard, and the branches were bare.
But the price is that the rent is cheaper and the rent is one or two taels per month. If I could rent a courtyard house of seven or eight large and small in downtown Beijing in later generations, I would like to rent a courtyard house of seven or eight large and small in Beijing?
Luo Moniang's carriage had to lean on the road outside the yard gate. The alley was not wide and it was immediately blocked halfway. The horse was tied to the bamboo peach tree in the yard because the stables in the yard were too small.
The two entourage servants came to lead the donkey. The family was not very good at Zhang Ning and Zhang Ning, who was almost 60 years old, called him Old Man He; the other was a teenager, but he was thin and blunt, and his mouth was crooked. He often giggled inexplicably. He heard that his surname was Niu, and Zhang Ning felt that he was very good, so he decided without authorization to set a ranking for him called Niu Er.
Niu Er is a follower, doing some miscellaneous work of buying firewood and rice to clean the yard, but Zhang Ning felt that his IQ was not very reliable, and he handed over the daily expenses to Old Man He.
The salary of these two people is paid by the Ministry of Rites, so Zhang Ning is not picky.
Old Man He, a customer came to his house today and wanted to buy some things. I was afraid that Niu Er would not remember well, so you go and have a trip.
Zhang Ning ordered, buy two more kilograms of pork ribs, fish, pork, leg meat and ingredients.
Old man He agreed and went to withdraw the money, and Niu Er led the donkey to feed him.
Zhang Ning invited Luo Moniang and Wang Zhen into a room where the west wing was treated as a study room. Both servants were not there, and only Zhang Ning did the tea himself.
We can't bear to let you serve tea and water in person.Luo Mo Niang smiled.
Zhang Ning brought the tea to the table and said disrespectfully: The house is simple, you two are a little casual.By the way, Wang Maocai, there is a bed in the room north of the east wing. I will take the bedding to clean up later and I can make do with it.
Wang Zhen took a big sip of tea and said a little moved: Brother Ping'an's friendship will not be forgotten.
Zhang Ning thought to himself: Forget friendship, as long as you don’t think about Yin, I’m fine, I’m not sorry for you.
When Old Man He bought the things back, Zhang Ning stood up and said: I'll change my clothes to cook dinner. You guys will sit down first, but you will lose your companion.
After hearing this, Wang Zhen and Luo Moniang were fussed and looked surprised. Wang Zhen said: A gentleman is far away from the kitchen, how can he dare to let Brother Ping'an cook to entertain him?
But Luo Moniang said with great interest: Do you still know how to cook?
Zhang Ning smiled and said: Usually Old Man He cooks the meals for three people, but the taste is hard to say. Today, there are guests who cannot let him cook them.
There is no way, just Zhang Ning's monthly salary is 2 taels or 5 taels or 1 taels of rent. You must try to go to the restaurant as little as possible, otherwise you will have to borrow money to make a living.
If the cost of treating guests at a restaurant is too high, it will be different to buy things at home. A pound of pork is only 20 cents and a pound of carp is less than 20 cents. This meal can be done in less than two cents of silver.
Zhang Ning changed into a moon-white linen cloth and gave him an old clothes, and then entered the kitchen. After a while, Luo Mo's mother also ran in. Seeing him rolling up his sleeves and picking up the kitchen knife, she covered her mouth and smiled: It turns out that you bought a kitchen knife to make weapons on the road last time. You really know the kitchen knife skills?
Niu Er, come in and burn the fire!
Zhang Ning shouted to the outside with a loud voice and turned back to Luo Mo Niang's words. That's exactly what it means that I haven't practiced for a long time and still feel comfortable picking up the kitchen knife.
After saying that, he skillfully cut the ginger into very fine shreds of ginger.
When I came in, I helped me and scraped the skin of the yam.Zhang Ning ordered without looking back.
Luo Moniang said angrily: I have never done such a thing at home.
She hesitated for a while, but went there anyway. Seeing that he ignored him, she said again: Wang Maocai said it well, a gentleman stayed away from the kitchen, no wonder you didn’t take the Jinshi exam!
Zhang Ning said: Not everyone wants to shine their ancestors, it is true that plainness is.
Then why are you still an official? Why don’t you become a hermit?Luo Moniang clumsily fiddled with the pity-savory yam, but she didn't expect that it would be very troublesome to do it by herself.
Zhang Ning said earnestly: It is not easy to be a hermit. Everyone needs food, clothing, housing and transportation. The paradise has unique abilities. Can I eat, my books of sages be used as food?
The two of them were chatting and Zhang Ning was cooking.
Not long after, a few dishes were prepared: yam stewed pork ribs, fried fish fillets, carrot roasted legs, fried shredded pork, and two vegetarian dishes.
I made a lot of roasted pork, so Zhang Ning scooped a bowl, and left the rest to Old Man He and Niu Er to cook meat.
When the meal was placed in a dining room in the east wing, Zhang Ning brought a jar of Shaoxing wine, and the three of them took a seat to start. The sumptuous dinner was nominally a welcome to Wang Zhen, but in fact, Zhang Ning mainly wanted to entertain Luo Moniang.
No matter what, Zhang Ning was very grateful for her helping her to write a book and report her safety.
How does it taste?Zhang Ning smiled while pouring wine.
Luo Mo Niang picked up a chopstick fish fillet without hesitation, and was about to say a few sarcastic words, but her face changed and she couldn't help but say: Zhang Ping'an, you really have a skill.
Just kidding, it’s not a waste of fame to make a few home-cooked dishes.Zhang Ning said proudly, picking up the wine glass to signal to Wang Zhen.
Of course, Zhang Ning of the Ming Dynasty did not know how to cook, and what brought this little craft was his memories of later generations.
He used to know how to cook, but now he tasted less bad. The ingredients used in modern daily use were ginger, garlic, scallion, vinegar, wine, salt, sugar, etc., but there were only MSG and chili. However, Zhang Ning barely replaced MSG with seaweed sauce, which was not much worse.
Luo Moniang couldn't help but say: Why don't I have a wine glass? This is your way of hospitality?
What wine do girls drink?Zhang Ning looked at the dimmering light outside. I won’t leave you after dinner and go home early.
You are the child!My dad doesn't even ask, you still care about me!
Luo Moniang said angrily, Who are you me?
As soon as she finished saying this, she suddenly felt inappropriate: It seemed like I admit that he was someone.
Her face turned slightly red, and she still dissatisfied: Come with a wine glass and see if I don’t drink you down.
Luo Mo Niang is really relaxed at home. Yang Shiqi is busy with official business and basically doesn’t care about it. She doesn’t have any biological mother in the Yang family, so who cares about her?
Zhang Ning said: You can really drink... Well, a heroine, a hero among women, is disrespectful.Can't you add a cup?
Wang Zhen was quite etiquette at the beginning, but soon found that Zhang Ning was not that true at all. He was picking up food by himself, so he was not polite and said less and ate more food, and drank in the sea. He slept on the road without eating enough. Although this table tonight was not a delicacy, it was very helpful for him.
Luo Mo Niang was arrogant. After three cups, her face turned red like a peach blossom, her eyes became blurred, and her words were a little bit unrelated: Zhang Ping'an, what happened to you, Miss Fang, and what happened to you and her?
You stop drinking.Zhang Ning hurriedly advised.
Luo Mo's mother refused to support her and asked Wang Zhen again: Are you his neighbor?What is Zhang Ping'an's reputation in his hometown?
Wang Zhen glanced at Zhang Ning in a lewd manner and said: Brother Ping'an is a scholar, and he has good knowledge and character... I don't know who the woman surnamed Fang is, but I have seen the lady from the Wang family. I have already broken the engagement contract. Please rest assured Miss Luo.
Miss Wang, there is still a marriage contract?Luo Moniang looked at Zhang Ning with red eyes.
Zhang Ning turned to look at Wang Zhen in shock, thinking to himself, you guy is drunk too?
I kindly treat you, what to do with so much!
The same is true for Luo Mo Niang. I don’t know what she is doing: she and herself have not passed through the matchmaker of her parents, so how dare I play you like modern times?
He used to be a rule-abiding person, and in the Ming Dynasty he was also unwilling to challenge the order at this time easily.
Didn’t Wang Maocai tell me that he had quit the engagement?
Zhang Ning explained quietly that he didn't want to make Luo Mo Nong anxious. Besides, this girl has a good figure with a bee waist and a fat butt, a good face, and a good person. She is jealous and a bit spicy. In the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, she is a shortcoming, but Zhang Ning doesn't care.
If she really wants to do it, it’s okay. Besides, it’s great to be a relative and backer with Yang Shiqi.
Luo Moniang's angry and sad expression: Why did you leave the engagement contract?
Zhang Ning said: How could I do such a thing? I was still unconscious when I broke the engagement.At that time, I was desperate, and the unmarried girl of Miss Wang's family was a normal person to break off the engagement for the sake of her future.
After hearing this, Wang Zhen said: A woman is indifferent and righteous, Brother Ping'an doesn't need to care.
Who do you say is indifferent?Luo Moniang cursed with red eyes.
Wang Zhen was stunned: I said that Wang family’s little girl.
Luo Mo Niang said: You gentlemen are all gentlemen, who are not indifferent and righteous, and have the face to talk about women...
I told you not to drink, you are not pretending to be a female hero.
Zhang Ning said angrily and turned to Wang Zhen, "I'm drunk, and I don't have to care what I say."I'll take her back, you can eat first, and we both will continue to drink when I come back.
I'm sending you off. Miss Luo, don't be too polite, let's go.Zhang Ning stood up and said.
Luo Mo Niang was so amused and crying: What kind of politeness are you? Are you still polite to chase people?
Zhang Ning glanced at the sky: It's getting late, and you're drunk and you're going back in the evening, what would Lord Yang think?
Luo Mo Niang drank some wine and was a little unhappy when Miss Wang was in a passionate mood, but she was sober. When she heard his words, she remembered her father saying she wanted to find an opportunity to see Zhang Ning. It would be not a good thing to leave a bad impression on her father.
She was quite conscious. After thinking about it, she didn't mess around. She stood up and went out angrily: Who wants you to give it away!
I sent it to the entrance of the dried fish Hutong.Zhang Ning was not very relieved, so he hurriedly followed and then rushed to the stable to lead the donkey.
Luo Mo Niang didn't wait for him at all, and said: I just want to leave the engagement. Now that you have regained your fame and status, you have an official position. How can you not be able to coax that Wang family lady back?
But the price is that the rent is cheaper and the rent is one or two taels per month. If I could rent a courtyard house of seven or eight large and small in downtown Beijing in later generations, I would like to rent a courtyard house of seven or eight large and small in Beijing?
