The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

After a while, a pit of medium size was dug.

The people who went to collect hay and branches came back, put the hay in the pit, took the flint, ignited the hay, and when the hay burned, they put branches inside.

Clean tiles were covered on top, and soon, the water stains left on the tiles were dried.

The children carefully took out a small piece of lard wrapped in a small piece of oil paper, put it on the dried tiles, and spread it evenly in the middle.

The locusts were also caught.

At this time, catching locusts outside was really effortless. You could catch a lot of them casually. Just break off the head, remove the feet and wings, clean them with water at the riverside, and bring them back.

The locusts with water were thrown into the oil stains on the tiles, making a sizzling sound, and the lard splashed, and the children around them dodged.

Soon, a fragrance spread.

This smell is so right.

"You can also fry them with a small amount of lard."

"I'll go find some thin branches and try roasting them."

Soon, some children started to work, stringing locusts on branches, approaching the fire, and began to roast them.

The processed locusts were placed on the tiles one by one, and soon, the tiles were full of locusts.

The children guarding the fire used branches as chopsticks, picked up the fried locusts, and placed them on the tiles covered with clean leaves.

He took out salt from his arms and put it aside.

"Eat it with salt, let's all try it."

When there were enough locusts on the tiles for each of the children present, everyone ate together.

"The taste is not much different, it's delicious." The children's faces were filled with smiles.

Li Chengqian also ate one, and he also felt that it was indeed delicious.

It seemed to be better and more fragrant than the one taken out of the kitchen in the house.

Everyone continued to fry locusts on the tiles. Later, when there was not enough oil, they simply roasted them. Anyway, as long as they were cooked and dipped in salt, they would be salty meat.

The sky gradually darkened, but the children were still not satisfied.

However, the seasonings in their hands had been used up, and the firewood had burned out. It was time to go home.

If they didn't go home, they would have another dish waiting for them at night.

Bamboo sticks fried meat.

At this time, the sun had set. The children packed up and buried the pit they had dug with soil. Then they took their things and went back together, laughing and talking all the way...

They discussed whether they would come out to do this again after class tomorrow.

Doing this outside today is not only to satisfy the appetite, but also a kind of fun for everyone.

Children of this age are happy to do anything together. It is a carefree age.

Li Chengqian and Tiezhu also returned to the house.

The guards had been following in secret, and did not show up to disturb the children's play.

Instead, watching all this in secret, they could not help but think of their childhood.

Not all guards had gone through the same childhood as Wu Liangye and his friends.

Wu Liangye and his friends were the top guards, and they were secret guards. Ordinary guards, to put it bluntly, were servants in the mansions of wealthy families who knew some boxing and could guard the house.

When Li Chengqian returned to the house, Li Fu had already returned home.

That day, he rode a horse with Wu Liangye and his friends to visit all the villages within the fiefdom. Everyone was still very enthusiastic about killing locusts.

And after two days, there was indeed some effect. Therefore, under such circumstances, the people were more confident.

After seeing it with his own eyes today, Li Fu's heart was more than half relieved, and he didn't know what the situation was like around Chang'an City.

Changsun Wuji and his friends were responsible for villages and towns in one direction each.

After dinner in the evening, Li Fu and others drank tea and enjoyed the cool air in the courtyard of the study.

After a busy day, only at night can they take a breath.

Of course, this is about Yan Lide and others, not Li Fu.

Li Fu walked around and gave a speech to inspire people. The real fighters on the front line were Yan Lide, Jiang Que, Ma Zhou, Zhang Huan and others.

At this moment, they were all sitting in the courtyard here, drinking special tea that they couldn't drink normally. The servants brought a wooden basin with hot water.

Everyone was lying on the recliner, soaking their feet in hot water.

Comfortable.

"Your Highness, it's only after living here that I know what enjoyment is." Yan Lide sighed.

When I was at home before, why didn't I think of getting such a rocking chair in the yard at night, rocking, cool, and comfortable?Comfortable.

Drink some tea and soak your feet.

These days are like heaven.

"Is this called enjoyment?" Li Fu lay on the recliner with his eyes closed.

When I find time, I will train a few young and beautiful maids and technicians at home, which will be even more enjoyable.

What Sisi, Youyou, Mumu, Nuannuan, Zhenzhen, Tangtang, Xiaomei, Yingtao...

Lie here and raise your hand to say two words.

Add time.

"Isn't this called enjoyment?" Yan Lide asked with a smile.

"This is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go." Li Fu said: "At least, there are still two less people who massage shoulders and beat legs, and two less people who wash feet and pick ears."

How come this guy, Old Yan, has been an official for so many years, but he is still like a country bumpkin.

Hasn't he ever enjoyed the massage of shoulders and legs by the maids at home?

The conditions here in the old house are limited. After the new house is built, Li Fu must personally train some such outstanding talents.

At that time, let the craftsmen give full play to their abilities and even build a Hu bed for washing hair.

When you want to wash your hair, just go up there... The maid's tender little hands shuttle gently between the hair, washing and massaging at the same time.

Li Fu lay on the recliner and sighed.

Under the night, all that was lost was his youth.

Yan Lide stopped talking.

Just like this, soaking feet in hot water, and then having a shoulder massage and leg massage, it is indeed an enjoyment, an ultimate enjoyment.

If you want to talk about enjoyment, it has to be His Royal Highness Prince Jingyang.

There is no way, who lets him have money?

The construction of the new house, the Prince's mansion, cost more money than that of a prince.

Much more.

After it is completely built, it is still unknown how much money will be spent later.

It must be an astronomical figure.

However, it is definitely not as good as the one in the palace. After all, although the new house cost a huge amount of money, the materials used are not so extravagant.

When the palace was built in Daxing City, a lot of golden nanmu was used.

That stuff is very expensive, and the new house on the farm did not use such precious wood.

But even if precious wood such as golden nanmu was not used, the construction of the new house has still cost a huge amount of money so far.
