The eldest lady of the Su family!
Who is the most popular person in the capital these days?
It must be the eldest lady of the Su family!
After all, those three poems are truly exquisite!
Her appearance in particular was said to be like that of a fairy from heaven.
but now
Everyone saw that this was more than just a fairy descending to earth; it would not be an exaggeration to say that this was Chang'e from the moon.
"Zhao Hesheng from the Zhao family, nice to meet Miss Chang'an."
"Xia Zhi, meet Miss Changan."
"Zhao Xiaoran from the Zhao family, nice to meet Miss Chang'an."
"Qinghe Cui Shenming, meet Miss Changan."
……
All of a sudden, the sons of these high-ranking officials, or the young nobles who already held official positions in the court, all came forward to pay their respects to Su Chang'an.
See this scene.
Although Su Chang'an was stunned for a moment, he did not show any fear. He greeted the men and women who came up to him to greet him one by one.
"All right, you guys stop disturbing Miss Chang'an's fun. Get out of the way quickly. Even if you want to get close to her, you shouldn't do it this way. You should learn from me and come out early." Xun Kuang said loudly, waving his wide sleeves.
After all, he is the director of the Imperial College, so his words are still of some use.
I saw these men and women moving back one after another, but no one left.
However, what Xun Kuang said and his dirty clothes were really incompatible with the Imperial College, a place that was gradually filled with scholars.
And about this.
Xun Kuang didn't care either, he just looked at Su Changan: "Miss Changan, don't worry, I, Xun Kuang, am here, people like that would never dare to come!"
Yan Ruyu rolled her eyes helplessly, but she also knew that the unkempt Xun Kuang often talked nonsense like this, so she ignored him.
He just saw a man who looked like a manager coming hurriedly in the distance, followed by six or seven people carrying cages with rabbits. He immediately asked Su Changan, "Do you want to go back now, or wait and see?"
Su Changan also noticed that, so he looked at Xun Kuang and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Xun, but I came out today just to buy rabbits, so it's time to go back now."
As he spoke, he bowed again to Xun Kuang.
When Xun Kuang saw this, he hurriedly bowed again in return.
However, he also saw the manager of the farm coming over in a hurry.
"I didn't know that Miss Su, Commander Yan is here. I am sorry for the delay." The steward was a man who understood the human nature and had seen many situations. Although he didn't understand why the eldest lady of the Su family was accompanied by the deputy commander of the Chixia Army, he knew it was right to be respectful when they met!
As he spoke, the steward leaned to one side and said, "I have selected the eighteen largest and fattest rabbits in the rabbit hive and prepared them for you two. If you need them, you can have them sent to the Su Mansion first. As for the price, what happened here today was my fault. I will just consider it as my apology. Please don't despise it."
The steward was respectful.
"It has nothing to do with you. Someone will give you the money later." Yan Ruyu waved her hand and spoke coldly.
Xun Kuang, on the other hand, was looking at these rabbits with a puzzled look on his face. He had come to watch the fun late and had not seen the opening scene, so he did not understand what was going on.
After arriving, they just thought that those playboys who were everywhere in the capital had provoked Yan Ruyu and others, and did not take it seriously.
So when he looked at these rabbits, he remembered that the second young lady of the Su family had two very white rabbits at home, so he asked, "The two young ladies of the Su family really love rabbits. But, Manager Zhang, you gave so many for Miss Chang'an to play with, but it's a bit redundant. Rabbits are best in pairs. And these rabbits are too fat!"
Manager Zhang smiled bitterly but did not dare to explain.
"Miss, what do you want to do with these rabbits?" Yan Ruyu looked at Xun Kuang and explained, but forgot to say yes for a moment, so she looked at Maomao.
"Spicy rabbit head." Maomao added.
Su Changan's eyes had already sparkled when he looked at these rabbits. He didn't care about anything else. Although he thought Xun Kuang was an interesting person, there was no need to say anything more.
not to mention
The most important thing is to get back quickly.
First of all, for safety!
Come again, I’m greedy!
So he immediately said: "Master Xun, I will take my leave first."
"Goodbye, Miss Chang'an." Xun Kuang didn't understand what spicy rabbit head meant for a moment, but when he heard Su Chang'an say that, he immediately saluted.
Naturally, everyone in the courtyard saluted Su Changan.
Until I watched Su Changan and the others leave.
Xun Kuang then pulled Manager Zhang aside and asked, "What is spicy rabbit head?"
"Miss Chang'an is here to buy a rabbit to cook." Manager Zhang said immediately.
“?” Xun Kuang was startled, but the next moment: “Hahahahahaha! Wonderful, wonderful!!”
Then she looked in the direction where Su Changan and the others had left, and said to herself, "She is such a wonderful person. However, Miss Su loves rabbits the most. Isn't Miss Changan afraid of damaging the relationship between the sisters?"
Chapter 12: Walking towards the rabbit with a sharp knife
On the way back.
Su Changan didn't take what had just happened seriously, his mind was full of the rabbit head.
The main ingredient for making spicy rabbit head is actually rabbit head, and the main ingredients are the seasonings.
Fortunately, Su Changan learned that this dynasty was similar to the Tang Dynasty in the previous life, and had extensive trade relations with other regions.
So after simply telling Yan Ruyu what was needed, Yan Ruyu immediately understood what he meant and took Su Changan and the others directly to a spice shop called Xiangcaoju.
In addition to the necessary star anise, the store also has many other dried herbs.
This actually aroused the cat's interest, and he bought a lot of things.
but
What surprised Su Changan was that pepper was ridiculously expensive!
But on second thought, Su Changan could understand it. After all, although this dynasty was not the history he really knew, it was similar to some extent.
Pepper was extremely precious even in the Song Dynasty, not to mention the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Even though there are a lot of Sichuan peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns, they don't have the same inherent fragrance as pepper, so they can't replace pepper's position at all.
But it is very popular and the demand is too high.
In addition, since it is an imported product, it has become one of the rare treasures that many people hoard.
But
Is Su Changan short of money?
lack!
Although he is now the future empress's man, and nominally the eldest daughter of the Su family, but to be honest
Su Changan doesn't have a penny on him!
But what can he do? Yan Ruyu, who is beside him, is rich!
Yan Ruyu just waved her hand and bought the whole small bag of pepper stored in the store.
In Su Changan's view, this behavior can be summed up in two words!
Rich woman!
Apart from pepper, other ingredients such as star anise, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, etc. are all common commodities, very cheap and easy to buy.
So they soon returned home.
Yan Ruyu had someone deliver those rabbits to Su's mansion in advance when Su Chang'an and his friends left the farm.
So when Su Changan and the others returned to Yimeiyuan, one corner of the yard was filled with cages containing rabbits.
"So, what's next? Are we going to start making the spicy rabbit head you mentioned?" After Maomao put all the spices on the table, she looked at Su Changan.
Su Changan rolled up his sleeves and looked at Maomao: "How is that possible? Spicy rabbit head is not something that can be made so easily."
Maomao looked at Su Changan in confusion.
"Yan Ruyu." Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu, "Please ask the cook in our small kitchen to come over."
Yan Ruyu clasped her fists and went to call for help.
Su Changan had also rolled up his sleeves and casually tried to tie up the hem of his skirt that was in the way.
The cat on the side saw Su Changan like this, squatted down to help Su Changan clean up, and complained a few words: "Looking at the outside today, everyone treats you as a great talent and a fairy. If those men and women see you like this, they will definitely dislike you."
Su Changan looked down at the skilled movements of the cat and said with a smile: "What I have to do now is much more important than writing poetry or something like that."
And I don't need those people to treat me like a fairy!!
Although he was smiling on his face, Su Changan was complaining in his heart.
Not many times.
Maomao helped Su Changan to pack up his skirts, and even found a few cheap-looking skirts to tie around Su Changan's waist.
Holding spices
Su Changan naturally went straight to the small kitchen in the courtyard.
In the huge Su Mansion, every courtyard has a small kitchen, which is also for the convenience of the courtyard owner.
As for Su Changan, ever since he was poisoned three days ago, he has been eating meals prepared by the people in the small kitchen.
Seeing that the small kitchen had everything, Su Changan saved a lot of trouble.
Yan Ruyu also found three cooks to wait respectfully.
"Just help me light the fire and add some firewood. I will do the rest myself." Su Changan said as he looked at the three honest cooks who had pretty good cooking skills.
