Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, and as expected, Zhao Song became angry. He pointed at Zhao Ming and said, "I asked you to manage the affairs of the clan, and this is how you manage it? Your seventh uncle's family is not harmonious, and you are responsible for mediating..."

Zhao Hanzhang's eyes were slightly dull as he listened to Zhao Song's scolding Zhao Ming, but Zhao Hu watched with interest. Compared to his son and fifth brother, he disliked Zhao Ming, his nephew, as long as he was unhappy, he would be happy. .

Zhao Ming, on the other hand, was not affected at all. He drank by himself, and even picked up the teapot nearby and poured a bowl of water for his father to moisten his mouth.

Zhao Song took a sip and continued to lecture him, asking him to mediate between Zhao Hu and Zhao Cheng.

Except for the deceased Zhao Zhi, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Ming had the best relationship. If he tried hard to persuade, Zhao Cheng should be able to listen.

Zhao Song talked a lot, but in the end no one listened. Instead, he drank two bowls of tea that Zhao Ming poured for him.

Finally he had enough chattering and his mood improved a lot, so everyone dispersed.

However, Zhao Song dragged Zhao Ming and refused to let him go, "Don't you think there has been a change between father and son? I see that Zi Tu treats your fifth uncle a lot more gently. Is it because the fifth uncle went to Luoyang for him or because Sanniang persuaded him to leave?" Are you living in Zitu?"

Zhao Ming was much more perceptive than his father, and he didn't feel that Zhao Cheng's feelings towards Zhao Hu had changed, but his face was just a little softer.

Considering the current construction of schools in various places, the children of the clan are scattered in the schools first, teaching and studying at the same time, waiting for the recruitment examination.

Compared with others, the children of the Zhao family now have several more ways to enter the officialdom. In addition to directly participating in the recruitment examination and being recommended to Zhao Hanzhang, they can also teach in various schools and participate in the infrastructure construction of the county. As long as they achieve something, Can be promoted to official position.

Even if they do well, they will be directly summoned by Zhao Hanzhang and put into use without the recommendation of their elders.

Zhao Kuan is the most outstanding representative among them. Who doesn't know that he was in an advanced school, and then was used by Zhao Hanzhang, and now he is one of her confidants.

The children in the clan all want to be the second Zhao Kuan.

But if they want to go a long way, they can't just focus on the opportunities in front of them, they must also have a good reputation.

Zhao Cheng is their teacher. Even if some of his disciples do not follow him on study tours and live in the family like Zhao Kuan and others, there is no one among the clan who is over twelve years old who has not heard of Zhao Cheng after enlightenment. class?

Not for himself, but for the sake of these children, he can no longer be suspected of being unfilial.

In the past, it was only questioned by some people in the clan. Once more and more of the Zhao family's descendants become officials, his reputation as a gentleman will become more and more famous, and outsiders will also explore his daily behavior and character.

If he talks coldly to Zhao Hu again, it will not only affect him, but also the students he has taught will not be criticized.

This is nothing more than a compromise made by Zhao Cheng in desperation.

Zhao Ming sneered, Zhao Cheng had been at ease for half his life, following his own will for so many years, but he didn't expect that he would be dragged down by the world in the end.

I don't know if the world is more pressing, or if Zhao Hanzhang is too rhetorical.

Zhao Ming responded to his father and said: "He will naturally change some things after he has figured them out. You have been trying to persuade me for more than ten years, but you have had no results at all. It shows that your persuasion is useless."

"So it's better to let go and let him figure it out on his own, or let someone capable to persuade him, and you can stop caring about it."

Zhao Song was not a person who refused to listen to advice. He thought about it and felt that although his son's words were unpleasant, they were correct, so he nodded and reluctantly agreed.

After Zhao Ming saw his father off, he called the housekeeper and ordered: "From now on, except for my father's, all the steamed buns at home will be mixed with wheat bran, so we should be more frugal."

The steward bent over should be.

When the news reached the kitchen, everyone in the kitchen was happy and worried.

The chef put away the white flour steamed buns that had been steamed this afternoon and took out the leftover ones from lunch and divided them among them.

The servants in the kitchen immediately grabbed two with one hand. What they usually eat are steamed buns mixed with wheat bran, or bean cakes made with soybean flour. Going further, because grinding wheat requires a lot of labor, so People often eat wheat rice, and it is impossible to grind wheat into powder.

Not everyone can afford thick steamed buns mixed with wheat bran, let alone white-flour steamed buns.

The masters wanted to be frugal, so the white-flour steamed buns left over from their lunch meal were an advantage for them.

It's a pity that this advantage can only be taken advantage of once. In the future, white flour should be made less often. Even noodles should be added with some wheat bran or soy flour, and the three should be kneaded into a dough.

"From now on, except for the two masters, all other masters will provide staple food made from grains."

The kitchen calls this mixture of two or more grains miscellaneous grains.

Everyone agreed, and the housekeeper had no objection to the cost reported by the kitchen.

But Zhao Hu does!

Zhao Hanzhang was walking happily while shaking an official document in his hand. When he saw Zhao Hu looking for trouble for his servants, he turned around and was about to find Zhao Ming by another way when he heard him say: "Fifth brother is generous, so just fool him. But I’m not that easy to deal with. If there are any more junks on the other side from now on, I’ll sell you all to mines!”

Zhao Hanzhang had already turned half of his body, thought for a while, and simply followed Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu didn't pay attention to Zhao Hanzhang at all. After training his servants, he turned around and walked away, striding like lightning, with such a fierce momentum that no one could stop him.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at his back, turned around and asked the servant who was waiting with his head lowered, "Why does the Seventh Master scold you?"

The servant whispered: "The food given to Mr. Zhengxiao in the kitchen today is cereals."

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Who in the house eats cereals?"

"Except for the Grand Master and the Seventh Grand Master, all the other masters use the multi-grain steamed buns. Even our husband uses the multi-grain steamed buns."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, waved and said: "Since this is Uncle Ming's residence, then follow Uncle Ming's instructions. You can go down. I will talk to Uncle Ming about this."

The servant breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Zhao Hanzhang gratefully, bowed deeply and said, "Yes."

In response, he bowed and retreated.

Zhao Hanzhang walked towards the direction Zhao Hu left with his hands behind his back, and soon followed him.

Zhao Hu lived in the guest courtyard of the Sheriff's Mansion. In fact, he wanted to live in a separate courtyard he bought. However, when he went to Luoyang, the house had just been bought and there was no time to repair it. Quality of life will decrease.

In addition, Zhao Cheng and Zhao Zheng both lived in the Sheriff's Mansion, so he moved in with them.

At this time, he did not return to his yard, but stood in Zhao Cheng's yard, instructing his servants to move various things in.

"Put this in Zheng'er's bedroom. How can my grandson use an ordinary chamber pot? He should use the best one." Zhao Hu pointed to a celadon pot. Zhao Hanzhang looked along and saw the celadon pot. The glaze color is clear and the thickness of the tire wall is uniform. It looks like good porcelain at first glance, and it is also celadon.

But it wasn't over yet. The servants also brought over a celadon vase with birds and beasts on it. It was so lifelike that it looked very valuable at first sight.

Zhao Hu said: "Put it next to Zheng'er's desk and ask people to change the flowers every day. Since the good things are put there, they must be used!"

Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward blankly, couldn't help but reach out and touch a large celadon vase, and exclaimed: "Seventh Uncle, isn't this valuable?"
