Before the sun set, officials from Honglu Temple drove a carriage to Yun's house to pick up Di Renjie for a banquet in Qujiang.
Watching the neatly dressed Di Renjie leave in a carriage, Yun Chu was actually quite envious. After all, this was the highest compliment for a scholar.
The emperor didn't intend to praise Yunchu, so he felt that he should reward himself well.
Chang'an in July is as hot as a furnace, and eating at this time has become a burden for many people.
Especially since there are so many fat people in the Yun family, this becomes even more problematic.
Yunchu couldn't enter the inner house. According to Naha, the women inside were not very well dressed.
As for Big Fatty, the lynx would rather hibernate in the karez that Yunchu sent people to dig than see anyone.
Naha was very envious of her brother's ability to be naked and only wear a pair of shorts. If it were two years ago, this child would still be on par with Yun Chu, but not now. She knows that it is not at all indecent for girls to dress like this.
Seeing her brother opening a clay jar, she curiously looked inside. A sour smell came out, which made Naha want to drool.
"They don't have any intention to eat today, so we two just have a good meal."
Naha had no resistance to any delicious food that came from her brother's mouth. Even though she was sweating profusely due to the heat, she still followed her brother closely for fear of not being able to eat it.
Today, the weather was too hot, so Yunchu didn't plan to make any complicated meals. He thought this was a good time to eat water.
The celery in the slurry has long turned khaki. Take it out and chop it into pieces. Pour a few drops of oil into the pot, then throw in the green garlic and a few peppercorns. Wait until the green garlic is fried and turn black, then add a few drops of oil.
Pour in the slurry water and bring to a boil.
There is no need for extra ingredients when eating the slurry water, just chop the leeks, add salt and marinate for a while.
Put the boiled slurry water into a jar and soak it in well water. Yunchu started kneading and rolling out the noodles.
Normally, Yunchu would not eat the noodles made by Sanfei and the others in summer, especially when it is very hot.
When you think about it, you will understand. In such weather, a fat man is forced to work hard to knead, knead, and roll out the noodles. The noodles should be salty without adding salt. However, he has very high requirements for eating noodles.
Must have strength.
So, I had no choice but to offend him, the newly minted Wannian County Captain, to do it. As for Naha, she had no use except to eat.
After the noodles are rolled out, they are smashed on the chopping board with hands to remove the dry flour on them, and then thrown into the pot. At this time, the physalis water soaked in the cold well water is already cold and delicious.
Take out the noodles and pour them directly with cold physalis water without running water. Add some pickled leeks and you'll have a good meal.
Naha carried a big bowl to the inner house. The three women, dressed in cool clothes and claiming not to have dinner, hurried out.
Yun Chu took a look, and found that except for Cui, who was more bold and bold, exposing most of his white and greasy neck, Yu Xiurong and Gongsun were still wrapped up tightly, and there was nothing to see.
Yun Chu came to the concierge with his rice bowl, and Fei Jiu was drinking. He was living a good life, drinking fat pig head meat.
"There is nothing we can do about sending you to Qinghai this time. You are the only man available at home, so don't complain."
Fei Jiu glanced at the white noodles in the owner's bowl and shook his head with a smile: "I should have gone in the first place, but Fei Shi is stubborn and Fei Ba is a person who only knows how to eat. If I don't go, who will?"
"You will definitely have headaches, chest tightness, shortness of breath and other problems after going there. You must remember not to do strenuous activities on the way. After arriving at Dafeichuan, wrap yourself up tightly and sleep for three to five days. If you feel there is no problem, then move around.
.
Remember your business, you are just a cattle trader, the rest of the business has nothing to do with you."
Fei Jiu whispered: "Does Mr. Lang want to build a long-term business, or is it just a one-time deal?"
Yun Chu took a bite of noodles, thought for a while and said: "It must be a long time. You must make this road familiar and thorough. If you encounter dangers such as horse thieves and bandits on the road, you don't have to leave the cow. The road map must be
Bring it back to me.
At the same time, we need to investigate whether that big river can be transported by water."
Fei Jiu nodded and said, "I understand, little one."
Yun Chu added: "If you come back with everything in order this time, I will support you in your revenge!"
Fei Jiu was stunned for a moment and said: "I have no revenge, so Mr. Lang is not looking for an opportunity to kick me out, right?"
Yun Chu coughed and said: "Yu Rang swallowed charcoal and disfigured her face in order to take revenge. You fried your face in the oil pan again just to prevent others from recognizing you. To be honest, I didn't test you.
People tend to guard their shortcomings, and you have shown to be loyal and loyal over the years. If you have any requests, please ask for them immediately. After passing this village, there will be no such store."
Fei Jiu said quickly: "There is really no revenge to be avenged. I just did something shameless and blew my face in the oil pan. If there is any revenge, the enemy can only be myself."
Yun Chu finished eating the noodles and drank up the syrup. He felt that his whole body felt comfortable, so he put away the big bowl and said to Fei Jiu: "Don't hold your tongue to death. Anyway, I got it done. I'll credit you with it."
Fei Jiu stood up and saluted and said, "I'll remember it, little one."
Seeing that Fei Jiu was finally willing to accept his kindness, Yun Chu left with satisfaction.
He doesn't believe in unreasonable loyalty, but believes more in the exchange of benefits.
Yun Chu originally wanted to eat a bowl of noodles, but when he found Yu Xiurong cooking noodles there dripping with sweat, he backed down.
Yu Xiurong, who had discovered Yun Chu's bad habits a long time ago, did not give in this time, and still filled Yun Chu with a large bowl of syrupy water that smelled of her sweat.
In the end, he ate every drop under Yu Xiurong’s eyes.
Yunchu also wants to change himself. If he continues to live in such a poisonous way, no one will be able to stand him.
The family atmosphere needs to be cultivated. Only by accepting each other wholeheartedly can we have children and live a life-long life.
Watching Yun Chu finish his meal, Yu Xiurong felt a little guilty.
"I always feel like an outsider, especially between you and Naha."
"Stop talking nonsense. If I had met you earlier, I would have two girls now instead of one."
"Is Naha's mother-in-law pretty?"
"Good-looking, but not a good girl. However, she is really nice to me. I always feel that she wants a son who can be a hero, not a daughter as cute as Naha."
"My mother didn't like me when she gave birth to me, and my grandfather was also very disappointed, so he gave me this name, hoping that I could be reincarnated as a boy."
"Oh, there is no need to reincarnate. I heard that the wizards in the country south of Annan have witchcraft to turn women into men and men into women. However, they usually turn men into women.
As a woman, few women are willing to become a man."
"No nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense."
"Okay, okay, even if you are not lying, you have never been to Annan, how do you know about other people's affairs."
Yunchu laughed and pointed at his head and said: "I often travel in my dreams, travel thirty thousand miles a day while sitting on the ground, survey the sky and see a thousand rivers in the distance, which refers to people like me."
Yu Xiurong held Yunchu's head and shook it a few times, then gritted his teeth and said, "I really want to get into your heart and see what's inside."
When the sun finally set, the city of Chang'an became even hotter and muggier. There was no wind in the sky, and the windmill standing at the top was motionless.
Yu Xiurong, who was unbearably hot, went to the bathhouse under the leadership of Naha and Gongsun, hoping to get a moment of coolness by taking a hot bath.
Yun Chu was lying on the couch, shaking his cattail leaf fan, listening to Ms. Cui's story about her family's business.
Ding Dayou's virtuous wife died, I heard she died in childbirth, and his new wife was a good-for-nothing good-for-nothing.
There are few women from wealthy families who are as useless as Ding Dayou's wife. Apart from being beautiful and young, she has no other merits.
The good grain business has been cut to pieces, and even those with the best customers in the world, such as the big canteen, have now reached an unsustainable point.
"Why is it so unsustainable? Did you end the cooperation with her grain store?"
"Yes, that woman is short-sighted. She used to send some old grains here, but I couldn't bear it. Recently, she even dared to send some moldy grains, so I ordered the cooperation with the Ding family to be cut off.
.
We also told the shopkeeper that if he wants to continue doing business, he should ask General Ding to come to our house to talk."
Yun Chu nodded and said: "You are right to do this, business is business, it is better to mix less favors.
I owe Ding Dayou a favor, and I will repay it myself. There is no need to involve the canteen. It is not easy for anyone to do business. Since our canteen has a good reputation, we must maintain this good reputation."
Cui agreed and stopped talking. She had made a lot of determination for this matter today. Unexpectedly, Lang Jun did not scold her, but stood firmly on her side.
Not long after it got dark, Di Renjie came back. As soon as he came back, he took off his outer robe and threw off the boots that he had immediately worn as a marquis. He only wore his inner clothes and drank most of a pot of herbal tea in one go, which seemed to make him feel better.
"Why, the food at the Qujiang Banquet was not delicious?"
"No, it's the wrong person. What's even more ridiculous is that an old Dong Heng from your Jinshi Department actually cried bitterly at the banquet. He was grateful to His Majesty for promoting him, and even wrote no less than ten poems praising His Majesty in one breath."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "It shows that I know how to be a good person. You didn't call me a bastard on the spot, right?"
"If Your Majesty were here, I would admit it. It is human nature for people to do this in order to get a good official position as early as possible. However, His Majesty was not here, and there was only one Yuanwailang in Honglu Temple to accompany him. The examiners drank at the banquet.
I had two glasses of wine, said a few words and then left.
This guy was speaking impassionedly to the air, and he couldn't stop him. Didn't you see that guy's face was covered in snot, it was so disgusting.
Being associated with such people is a lifelong shame for Mr. Di!"
