[In the Prince's tutor's house, the master is the servant and the servant is the master. They have to do everything by themselves, cook their own meals, and boil their own bath water...]
[The most important thing is that you don’t need to pay your own people. ]
Shen Zhiyi paused for a moment.
【But you have to give me some pocket money every month. 】
She went to look through the pocket money that the Prince's tutor gave to her family and couldn't help but gasp.
[How cruel, really cruel, this pocket money is too little. ]
The prince suddenly realized that the mystery of why the Prince's tutor and his family had not attended social events for years had finally been solved.
To go out and socialize, you need money, but if you don't have that much money, then don't go out and socialize. As a result, over time, everyone thought that the Prince's Tutor's family was rather aloof. Who would have thought that it was because the Prince's Tutor gave too little money.
【besides. 】
[The Prince's tutor's family would put out the candles as soon as it got dark.]
Countless colons popped up in the prince's head, and he wondered if he had heard it wrong.
There is something wrong with this statement. Candles are only lit when it gets dark, so how can they be extinguished?
The Prince's tutor looked at the look the Prince was giving him and silently looked away.
What Shen Zhiyi said was really advanced.
In fact, he was just complaining that he didn't allow candles to be lit at all.
Candles are so expensive. It’s time to go to bed when it gets dark, why light candles?
[One piece of pork can be used to make ten dishes! ]
The prince was so shocked that the brush in his hand dropped to the ground.
He couldn't bear it anymore.
After secretly glancing at Shen Zhiyi who was watching intently, he quietly moved to the side of the prince's tutor.
He lowered his voice and said, "A piece of pork? Ten dishes? How did you do that? Master, please teach me."
The Prince's Tutor did not expect the Prince to be so studious, and his face showed a very pleased expression.
The child is teachable.
"It's very simple. First, fry a small piece of pork to make oil, add onion, ginger, garlic, cabbage, water, and soaked vermicelli. This is the first dish, pork stewed with vermicelli."
"That's it."
"Why rush? Take out the pork and continue frying until the oil comes out. Add some vegetables and serve a dish with the flavor of meat. This method can be used to make many dishes. Ten dishes are nothing. Twenty dishes will be no problem."
Prince: ...
"Then we take out the pork. This time we cut it into pieces and chop it into paste so that we can make meat patties."
"at last……"
The prince was shocked: "And?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? Take out the stuffing from the meat patties and roll them into meatballs. You can also make meatball soup."
Prince: !!!
"As expected of you, Master."
The prince's tutor smiled complacently: "It's just that my hands are practiced."
[I've seen people who are frugal, but I've never seen anyone so frugal. This is too abnormal. What did the little pig do wrong? This is the first time I've seen pork belly fried so repeatedly.]
[Is this a decline in morality or a decline in human nature?]
Shen Zhiyi clasped his hands together and prayed for the poor little pig to be reborn.
[I don’t believe that a whole family can tolerate such morbid frugality! ]
The Prince's Tutor was very confident that his family members were as frugal as he was.
After all, thrift is a virtue.
【Hahahahahahaha, I knew it.】
[No normal person can stick to this abnormal way of eating for long. The accounts of the Prince's tutor's family are all managed by his wife.]
The Prince's Tutor: He checks the family account books every month and finds no problems at all, with a huge amount of money saved every year.
[So the account books that Taifu's wife showed Taifu were all fake. Every time Taifu went to work, the whole family would eat well in advance, and wait for Taifu to come back, and then repeatedly stir-fry, steam, deep-fry, boil and fry a piece of poor pork.]
The Prince's Tutor stood up in an instant.
[The wife of the Grand Tutor wanted to avoid being discovered by the Grand Tutor, so she always took the whole family out to eat.]
The Prince's tutor could no longer stand.
He said to the prince, "I suddenly remembered that I have an urgent matter to deal with. I will ask the guardian to come over later. I will leave first."
Damn, he eats out every day. Even if his family has a gold mine, he can’t stand it.
His money, his money.
The Prince's tutor felt his heart bleeding.
"Hahahaha ahaha."
The prince couldn't hold back his laughter and started pounding the table.
Because it was too exaggerated, it attracted Shen Zhiyi's attention.
[Is this prince going crazy due to epilepsy?]
The prince didn't care what Shen Zhiyi said at all, he felt that Shen Zhiyi's fighting ability was very strong.
Look, it’s only been a short time and two people were driven away in one go. That’s amazing.
"Shen Lang, you are really this."
As he said that, the prince gave Shen Zhiyi a thumbs up.
This made Shen Zhiyi even more confused.
"Your Highness, why is the Grand Tutor gone too?"
"Oh, it's just something. It's okay. Taibao will be here soon."
The prince began to gloat over his misfortune, but the guardian said that he had a bad cold recently and it was inconvenient for him to meet with the prince. He was afraid of offending him, so he asked for leave and would not come.
The prince regretted.
He gritted his teeth and said, "This old fox is really cunning."
In the next few days, the three of them came up with various reasons not to come.
The prince was so angry that he dragged Shen Zhiyi to the old emperor to complain early in the morning.
"Dad, you decide what to do about this."
The old emperor knew the reason as soon as he took a look at Shen Zhiyi.
"Ahem, actually, you don't necessarily need those three people to come over to practice calligraphy. How about this, you guys go to Hongwenguan."
[Ahhhhh, this old emperor is sick. He is determined to make me practice calligraphy. But writing traditional Chinese characters is really tiring. The person who invented simplified Chinese characters is great.]
The old emperor also thought that the simplified Chinese characters used by Shen Zhiyi were very good, but this thing was not suitable for promotion.
Although he had not read the daily notes written by Shen Zhiyi, the historian had complained to him.
It is said that Shen Zhiyi wrote a lot of typos and simplified characters.
Although Shen Zhiyi tries to use traditional Chinese characters as much as possible, he still writes a lot of simplified Chinese characters from time to time.
Simplified Chinese characters were once popular among the people in the previous dynasty, but were soon suppressed by the imperial court.
Anyone who writes in simplified Chinese characters will be sentenced to life imprisonment at the very least, or executed directly at the worst.
The old emperor could say directly that in this place, no one except Shen Zhiyi dared to write simplified Chinese characters.
When the historian saw the simplified Chinese characters written by Shen Zhiyi, he almost fell to his knees.
The prince looked at Shen Zhiyi, who had a gloomy face, and said to the old emperor with a smile: "Dad, let's forget about Shen Lang. Anyway, you are here, and I am here."
The prince knew that the old emperor wanted Shen Zhiyi to get used to traditional Chinese characters, but the place where Shen Zhiyi came from was obviously an era of open-mindedness, so why bother to confine her after she came here?
The old emperor glanced at Shen Zhiyi, which contained many indescribable emotions.
Finally, he nodded slowly and said, "Forget it, it's okay if I don't learn it."
[Oh yeah, long live the old emperor, long live the prince. ]
"but……"
