In a manor on the outskirts of Chang 'an.
Qin Chuan lived here.
His family was a well-known landlord in this land. The land in the area of several thousand acres belonged to them.
However, this was still quite a difference compared to those true aristocratic families.
The land of those great clans was tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of mu, and some clans even used hectares as a unit of measurement.
Some families of high-ranking officials could get thousands of acres of land or even more just by virtue of their official positions.
Qin Chuan took the specially made iron pot that Qin Cheng had brought over and happily placed it on the small stove, preparing to cook the hotpot.
Well done!
He poured in the stock, threw in two pieces of pork fat, added star anise, cloves, and cassia.
It didn't matter if there were no chili peppers.
Without Butcher Zhang, did he have to eat a pig with feathers?
To the gluttons of the Great Heaven Dynasty, it doesn't exist.
Add pepper, mustard, rattan pepper, and Zhuyu
He watched as the soup in the pot started to boil and steam with a fragrance rose.
Qin Chuan took over a bowl. He used Zhu Yu powder as a base, dug out some garlic, added some sesame seeds, added some vinegar, drizzled soy sauce, and sprinkled some chopped green onions. He stirred them with chopsticks.
He picked up the sliced beef and heated it in the pot.
In China, agriculture was the most important. As a small assistant to the farmland, they attached great importance to cattle. In the Tang Dynasty, it was illegal to kill cattle without authorization.
But this year, the weather was so cold, and there was a frost disaster. Which family didn't have a few cows frozen to death?
After a while, the bright red beef was cooked, and an alluring fragrance assailed his nose.
He picked up the beef, dipped it in the sauce in the bowl, and took a bite!
This smell! It had been a long time!
Qin Chuan's eyes revealed a trace of recollection.
To be honest, this taste was far from what he remembered.
Not only was the base of the hotpot not authentic, but it was also not a professional mixture.
The beef was old beef that had been frozen to death. The meat was also relatively dry and did not taste as fresh and tender as in the later generations.
However, the familiar spicy taste still left a lingering aftertaste.
He took another sip of warm white wine and looked at the snow outside the window. This comfortable and comfortable taste was simply intoxicating.
Turning around, he saw a few pairs of eyes staring straight at him and licking the corners of his mouth from time to time.
Qin Chuan smiled and waved his hand." What are you guys standing there for? Come and eat together!"”
The young men were quite interested.
Butler Qin Xian, on the other hand, said," How can this be? Young Master, how can servants like us eat with you?!"”
Although he said that, when he smelled the fragrance that filled the room, even Qin Xian could not help but move his throat.
"Uncle Xian, what's the big deal? You watched me grow up, and the few of them grew up with me. We're all family, so I'm not that particular!”
Qin Chuan waved his hand." This hotpot is supposed to be eaten together! Come and eat together!"
Gulp!
Swallowing his saliva, Qin Xian couldn't resist the temptation of the delicious food. He cupped his hands and said," Thank you, Young Master!”
Then, he walked over quickly.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
The others followed suit and moved the stools over.
"Soy sauce, onions, garlic, etc. You can add these ingredients according to your taste.”
Qin Chuan called out a few words before scooping up a piece of beef and eating it in big mouthfuls.
The others also followed Qin Chuan's example and mixed the sauce in their bowls. They picked up the meat and heated it in the pot.
"Delicious!"
"Fragrant! It smells so good!"
After taking a bite, the few of them praised him endlessly.
"Young Master, this cooking method is too delicious! It's just too numb and spicy!"
The maid Xiao Huan's face was red. She opened her mouth and fanned her small hands as she exhaled.
"Drink some water. This was the taste of hotpot! How can it be delicious if it's not numb or spicy!"
Qin Chuan poured a glass of water and handed it over. He smiled happily and said," Come, all of you eat. Don't look at me. All of you eat."”
The few of them sat together happily, drinking wine, eating hotpot, and chatting as they ate.
"Qin Cheng, Qin Gong, you two will accompany me to the city tomorrow.”Qin Chuan said.
"Yes, Young Master."
The two people who were eating meat said vaguely.
"Young Master, tomorrow is the release of the results, right?" Qin Xian asked.”
"Yes."
Qin Chuan nodded.
"With Young Master's talent, he will definitely be on the Golden Roll tomorrow!”
Xiao Huan raised her little head and chewed on the pork in her mouth as she shouted with reverence in her eyes.
"Thank you for your kind words, little girl.”
Qin Chuan smiled and patted Xiao Huan's head as he spoke to Qin Xian.
"Uncle Xian, when the snow stops, get someone to clean and repair the houses in the city.”
His family had a house in Chang 'an, but after his cheap father passed away, they moved out of the city for the convenience of mourning.
A few days before the imperial examinations, the mourning period had ended, and Qin Chuan had transmigrated to the Great Tang at that time.
Actually, Qin Chuan was already the head of the family now.
However, because Qin Chuan was still young, not even fifteen years old, no one called him old.
Qin Xian was moved." Young Master, are you going to live in the city?"”
"I should have to live in Chang 'an in a few days.”
As he spoke, a bright smile appeared on Qin Chuan's face.
Qin Chuan was very confident about the results.
Based on what he had written in the exam, it was not difficult for him to pass the National Higher Education Entrance Examination. It was not strange for him to become the top scorer of the Golden Roll and the top scorer of high school.
Qin Xian's face was filled with gratification." If the Old Master is in heaven, he will definitely be deeply gratified by Young Master!"”
Learning to be an excellent official was basically the dream of all families in ancient times.
Qin Chuan also wanted to be an official, but it wasn't for fame and fortune.
He had a bigger dream, such as not having to learn English for his future friends.
In terms of external expansion, ancient China was better than any other western country.
The western countries only knew how to use pirate plundering, deceptive trade, and slave trafficking to rule. At most, it was just a trick of using barbarians to suppress barbarians.
However, China was different. China would assimilate the ideas, culture, customs, and other aspects of the places they occupied.
Even foreign invaders would either be chased away by China or assimilated by China.
In the end, they would all become a part of China.
The beauty of clothing is called Hua, and the beauty of etiquette is called Xia.
In this world, there was no culture that was more tenacious and tolerant than the Chinese culture.
