"Madam..." Ju'er came in with the soup and medicine. When he saw Helian Bingshuang's expression, he couldn't help being startled. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"
Helian Bingshuang quickly shook his head, wiped his tears, took the medicine and drank it, but he still couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart.
There was an attack in Yunding last night and two people were injured. The family members came to investigate. Fang Sheng had successfully solved the problem, but the person who injured the people was not found. At this time, Fang Sheng and others were cleaning up the shop.
, while counting the losses, he saw Shangguan Yu walking in.
"Sir!" Fang Sheng hurriedly stepped forward with a look of shame on his face, "I didn't take a good look at the shop. All the customers yesterday were scared away. Some people took the opportunity to escape without paying the bill!"
Shangguan Yu waved his hand, "That's how we do this kind of business. It's not a big deal. The important thing is to catch the culprit so that this kind of thing doesn't happen again in the future! Do you have any clues about that person? Who is he from?"
Fang Sheng shook his head: "That man ran very fast. I chased him for two streets in the nursing home last night but couldn't catch him. Moreover, his escape route seemed to have been arranged in advance and went very smoothly!"
Shangguan Yu frowned, and when he thought that Shangguan Yunyi was still there, he said: "This matter can't just go away like this. You have people look around the town to see if there is anyone suspicious. It's best to go to the Yamen and ask.
Let’s see if there are any newly exiled prisoners recently. In short, as long as they are new faces, you must pay attention!”
Fang Sheng nodded quickly.
"Shopkeeper Fang, someone is looking for you!" Suddenly, a boy came to report, and saw Xia He holding a basket, standing outside the somewhat damaged door and looking around.
"Why are you here at this time?" Fang Sheng muttered dissatisfiedly, as if he was afraid that Shangguan Yu would blame him, but when he looked at Xia He, his eyes were full of love and doting.
Shangguan Yu glanced at Xia He and said with a smile: "You and Xia He haven't been together for a long time. Let's take advantage of my return this time and settle your matters!"
Fang Sheng was stunned and overjoyed, but looking at the mess, he couldn't help but said: "Sir, isn't this a big deal? My thing..."
"I've said it before, we are in this kind of business, this kind of thing is common, it's nothing! But you kid, you must remember to cherish the one you love, you kid are lucky enough to get married to the one you love!"
Shangguan Yu pulled the corners of his lips and smiled, but that smile was a bit far-fetched.
Fang Sheng didn't notice the change in Shangguan Yu's expression. He touched the back of his head and said with a smile: "Master, you are making fun of me!"
Shangguan Yu said: "I'm not making fun of you, it's true. I mentioned this matter to Miss Chu before, and Miss Chu didn't object. If you are interested, I will stand up for you, but you must treat Xia He well in the future."
, don’t let down my heart!”
Fang Sheng quickly saluted: "Thank you, Master, I will treat Xia He well!"
Shangguan Yu nodded and looked around. Seeing that there was no big damage, just some household items broken, he ordered it to be repaired quickly today and continue to operate in the evening.
After sending Shangguan Yu away, Fang Sheng went out excitedly, pulled Xia He aside, said what Shangguan Yu meant just now, then looked straight at Xia He and asked, "Do you agree?"
Xia He bit her lip, unconsciously grasped the basket, and finally nodded. Fang Sheng was not as handsome as Liu Qian, but Fang Sheng was good to her. She had gone through so much, and she didn't ask for anything else, just for him. A good man can just live his life plainly!
"Did you really agree?" Fang Sheng grabbed Xia He's arm and asked excitedly. He looked around and pulled Xia He into his arms.
"What are you doing in broad daylight!" Xia He blushed with embarrassment and quickly pushed Fang Sheng away, "But I don't know if Miss Chu can agree. I..."
"Don't worry, if my young master comes forward, Miss Chu will sell her face to my young master no matter what. Besides, Miss Chu is kind-hearted and won't beat up mandarin ducks!" Fang Sheng said excitedly, with a smile on his face. .
Xia He nodded, looked at the time, and said quickly: "No, I have to go back. It will be time for guests to arrive in the world in a while. I will be anxious if shopkeeper Mo can't find me. You can go back too. Work hard. We can find them." It’s not easy to have two such good masters!”
Fang Sheng nodded quickly, but still reluctantly sent Xia He out of the street. Only after Xia He urged him repeatedly did he agree to come back.
On the second day, Shangguan Yu was planning to meet Chu Yiqing and settle the marriage between Fang Sheng and Xia He while he was in Chu Han, but unexpectedly, he met Lan Yi before he even went out.
"Master Lan, you are such a rare visitor!" Shangguan Yu said with a smile, standing at the door to greet Lan Yi, "Why are you free to come today?"
Lan Yi looked at the things on the carriage and asked with a smile: "What? Brother Shangguan is going out?"
Shangguan Yu nodded: "It's a betrothal gift. Go and propose marriage on my behalf!"
Lan Yi chuckled and said: "Your subordinates have really spent eight lifetimes to have such a master, and he even cares so much about their marriage!"
Shangguan Yu smiled slowly: "It's just a matter of effort. If Mr. Lan is not married, he will definitely not feel the importance of getting married. Now that my subordinate has a beloved and the two of them are in love, I naturally want the beauty of sex too." Yes or no?"
After Shangguan Yu finished speaking, he ordered Han Wu: "Pull the carriage in first, and it won't be too late to leave after I finish talking with Mr. Lan!"
Cambrian responded immediately.
Lan Yi smiled and said: "I took the liberty of building a house suddenly and delayed the beauty of my brother Shangguan!"
Shangguan Yu also smiled in response. The two of them entered the hall and sat down. A maid came to serve tea.
After Lan Yi sat down, he took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I heard that Brother Shangguan is going to be a father. We have been brothers for so many years, so naturally we came to celebrate. These are some gifts I have prepared for my future nephew. Brother Shangguan can Don’t be too little!”
As soon as Lan said this, the attendant Lan Ji placed several packages of gifts wrapped in red paper on the table.
"Young master Lan is so polite for bothering you so much!" Shangguan Yu smiled politely.
"I was in Luo Kingdom when Brother Shangguan got married and I didn't catch up. Now that I finally caught up with such a big event as having a baby, I naturally want to congratulate you!" Lan Yi said with a chuckle.
Shangguan Yu nodded: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey your orders! It's just a pity that my wife is not feeling well, otherwise she must come out and personally thank Mr. Lan!"
"Are you feeling unwell?" Lan Yi pretended to be panicked and asked, "Is it serious?"
"No, no, it's just that I'm weak inside and I'm healthy again. The weather has changed these days and the weather has turned cold all of a sudden. I'm a little lazy and don't want to see people!" Shangguan Yu said quickly.
"So that's the case. That's such a pity. I heard that my sister-in-law is the eldest lady of the Helian family, one of the five major families. I originally thought I could meet her!" Lan Yi said with a smile.
Shangguan Yu also laughed with him, and the two chatted some more. Shangguan Yu saw that Lan Yi was just rambling here and there without any focus at all, so he was a little impatient, but he couldn't show it, so he could only accompany him.
.
"Oh, it's already noon. I haven't seen you for such a long time. I forgot my voice when chatting with Brother Shangguan. It delayed Brother Shangguan's important event. Damn it! Then I'll take my leave first. Brother Shangguan, we are all very tired after all.
We have been brothers for several years, and we will often come out to get together in the future, but we can't forget about our brothers when we have a wife!" Lan Yi teased as he stood up and prepared to leave.
Shangguan Yu quickly said polite words and finally sent Lan Yi away.
"Sir, it's already noon, are we still going to Shangjia Village?" Han Wu couldn't help but ask when he saw this time.
"Let's go tomorrow!" Shangguan Yu was no longer in the mood at this moment. He believed that Lan Yi definitely didn't come here to reminisce about the past. What was his purpose?
"Yes, Master!" Hanwu quickly agreed, unloading the truck and moving the betrothal gift inside.
In the carriage, Lan Yi slowly raised his lips and smiled. This Shangguan Yu, if he guessed correctly, must not have let go of Chu Yiqing in his heart, so he was so enthusiastic about the marriage between the two servants! This is fine, say
Maybe Die'er still has a chance!
In Shangjia Village, the sky was still dark and bright, so Chu Yiqing took A Bao up the mountain.
It is colder on the mountain than at the bottom. Chu Yiqing first put A Bao in a cotton-padded jacket and let him practice sword practice for a while, then asked him to take off his clothes at the right time. It makes sense to practice in the winter and practice in the summer.
, A Bao's body was a little weak, and he would always cough for several days every once in a while. Chu Yiqing wanted to train A Bao while also improving his resistance.
At this moment, A Bao took off his heavy cotton-padded jacket and was only wearing a blue jacket. He held the small jade sword given to him by Li Huang in his hand and made serious sword moves. After these few days of training, A Bao has already
He practiced the Longxiang Thirteen Style sword moves very skillfully. If you look closely, you will see that wherever the sword moves, the yellow withered grass on the ground is trembling.
Chu Yiqing wandered around, watching A Bao practice while searching for something. This mountain forest is a treasure house. She doesn't come here often, but every time she comes, she makes important discoveries. The toon trees last time were, and this time
…
"Mustard seeds?" After Chu Yiqing saw a brown seed in a withered mustard, she couldn't help but smile and narrowed her eyes. She finally found it!
"What's so rare about this!" Suddenly, an old man's voice came over. Chu Yiqing looked up and saw a short but lean and capable old man walking out of the woods in the distance, carrying a small dog on his back.
A big basket about the same size as him, holding a cane in his hand, with dry wrinkles on his face, looked at the mustard seeds in Chu Yiqing's hand and said with a smile: "This is the time to harvest these seeds."
The time is right, but it’s just not available in shallow mountains. We have to go to deep mountains!”
Chu Yiqing put the seeds in the palm of his hand and showed it to the old man: "Uncle, are you sure these are these shepherd's purse seeds?"
The old man nodded: "No! This shepherd's purse is rare to everyone in spring. The ones in the shallow mountains are all harvested. I collect firewood in the mountains all year round, and sometimes I go to the deep mountains. No one picks the mustards in the deep mountains.
, I brought this kind of seed in autumn. Seeing that the girl is so rare, what do you want this kind of seed for? It can’t be for planting, right? This thing is not valuable. In the spring, it is all over the mountains and plains. People should be diligent and pick up more.
, that’s enough for one year! This dish is thick, and you’ll get tired of eating it if you eat too much!”
Indeed, shepherd's purse is not a good thing. In the spring, it is found all over the mountains and plains. Most people dig up the mustard greens in the spring and mix them with them to eat or make steamed buns. In the end, this shepherd's purse is just a wild vegetable.
, now every household has grown some vegetables, and these things are no longer rare!
"Yes, I plan to plant some to save myself the trouble of climbing mountains and ridges!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile, "If you have such seeds, you can sell them to me!"
"Are you really going to plant this thing? Is it a hassle to climb mountains and ridges or to fertilize and water it? Besides, it takes up a lot of land!" The old man obviously didn't believe it.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Uncle, if you have such a thing, just bring it. My surname is Chu, and people call me Miss Chu. I live in Shangjia Village. Can I still deceive you?"
When the old man heard what Chu Yiqing said so seriously, he took another look at Chu Yiqing and saw that her clothes were indeed extraordinary, made of silk brocade. She looked like she was rich at first glance, so he believed her a little bit.
He said: "Okay, I will walk inside tomorrow and find some for the girl, but let's talk about it, you have to really give me money. I am an old man, and it is not easy to climb mountains and ridges!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, just take the seeds to my house and I will definitely give you a satisfactory price!" Chu Yiqing took out a cloth bag from his waist and handed it to him, "If it is full
If you get this bag, I will give you one tael of silver!"
"One tael of silver?" The old man's eyes lit up.
"Mom!" A Bao finished his sword practice and called Chu Yiqing not far away. Chu Yiqing didn't bother to talk to the old man and just told him: "If you want money, go to Shangjia Village to find me.
My family is at the foot of Zhaoshan Mountain, it’s easy to recognize!”
The old man nodded doubtfully and looked up again, but Chu Yiqing and A Bao were nowhere to be seen—Chu Yiqing and A Bao had gone to practice Qing Kung Fu!
Two days later, Chu Yiqing's custom-made stove finally arrived. Chu Yiqing personally directed the workers to place the stove in the chicken shed and connect the chimney, which ran through the entire chicken shed.
"It turns out that chimneys are used for heating. In this way, the whole chicken shed is warm!" Li Linshi and Li Laoer couldn't help but sigh when they looked at these advanced heating stoves.
"Yes, this way, the chickens won't all gather in one place because they are afraid of the cold!" Chu Yiqing smiled, then pointed to the grown-up chickens in another column and said: "Young lady of the Li family,
It’s time for these chickens to be sold. Except for the ones sent to the vegetable shop, I won’t buy the rest. I plan to cook cooked chicken and buy them in the shop!”
When Li Lin heard this, he quickly asked: "Make mature chickens and sell them in the shop? Why not send them to heaven and earth?"
"Heaven and Earth has its own sales model, which is used by the big shopkeepers to discuss business or entertain merchants from other places. Don't people in the town have to cook chicken by themselves? Anyway, the vegetable shop is ready-made, as long as it is opened separately
Just come to a small window and sell them on the way. This winter, there are few vegetables to grow, and there is not much work in the fields. People are idle, so I will make mature chickens to earn some money and save myself from being idle at home!" Chu Yi
Qing said, let Liu San kill twenty of them first and sell them on the first day tomorrow. I don't know the situation, so I will give it a try first.
"Miss Chu, an old man named Huang came outside and said he was here to deliver mustard seeds!" Lizi trotted over to report.
Chu Yiqing heard this and said happily: "I came just in time. This time we not only have lotus leaf chicken, but also mustard chicken!" After saying that, he took Yingqian to the hall.
In the hall, an old man with a dark face was huddled in the corner. He was the old man collecting firewood that he met on the mountain that day. The old man looked at the decoration in the room and obviously did not dare to sit down. As soon as he saw Chu Yiqing, he hurried up to greet him.
: "Miss Chu, do you really want these mustard seeds?"
Chu Yiqing nodded, and saw the old man take out a bag of seeds from his arms, opened it, and put it in Chu Yiqing's hand, with a flattering smile on his face: "Look, it's just the right bag!"
Chu Yiqing poured the seeds into his hand and looked at it carefully, smelled it again, nodded with satisfaction, looked back at Jin Yu and said, "Sister Jin Yu, give this old man a tael of silver!"
"What? One tael of silver? What are these, and why are they so expensive?" Jin Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard that this pack of brown oval seeds cost one tael of silver, for fear that Chu Yiqing would be deceived.
Already.
The old man was already scared, so he shrunk even smaller when Jin Yu yelled at him, and quickly said: "Madam, I didn't ask for money blindly. This price was set by Miss Chu. If you don't believe me, ask Miss Chu!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Sister Jinyu, just give it to him. This thing is not easy to come by!" There are so many, I'm afraid it will take a whole day to find them in the mountains!
Jin Yu had no choice but to touch a tael of silver and place it in the palm of the old man Huang's hand.
"Oh, can it really be converted into money?" The old man Huang took the silver and looked around again. This was the first time he saw silver. He usually walked in the mountains to collect firewood, and it only lasted a year.
You can earn three to four hundred copper coins. I never imagined that these mustard seeds are really worth so much money!
"I said I could change it into money. I wouldn't lie to you!" Chu Yiqing smiled and asked people to send Old Man Huang out.
"Miss Chu, if I'm like this again, will you still want me?" Old Man Huang took two steps and suddenly turned around and asked.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Yes! Just send it to me!"
Old Man Huang quickly agreed happily, feeling that he had got a good job unintentionally, and left happily.
"Sister, what on earth is going on? How do you know this person?" Seeing the man leaving, Jin Yu couldn't help but ask, "Why have I never heard you mention it! And what are these? Do you want to
What’s the use of this?”
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "I met that person last time when I took Abao into the mountains. He lives in a nearby village and collects firewood in the mountains! I think he can find this kind of mustard seeds.
, so I asked him to find it for me!"
"Mustard seeds? Girl, you don't want to grow mustard seeds, do you? These things are worthless!" Jin Yu said quickly.
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Of course not, but if I buy good mustard chickens this winter, I might actually grow some!"
"What kind of chicken is mustard chicken?" Jin Yu asked in confusion, "Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Sister Jinyu, you will know when we have dinner later. I will make some first and let's have a taste!"
Jin Yu nodded: "Okay, let's have new dishes tonight!"
Mrs. Huangfu came out with Ah Jin and Ah Yin and said with a smile: "You just know how to eat. Look at your sister, she is always thinking of new tricks. You have been following your sister for so long, why don't you think too much about it?"
Jin Yu smiled sheepishly: "Mom, if I had that ability, I would become a girl!"
Mrs. Huangfu pretended to be angry and glared at Jin Yu, then turned to Chu Yiqing and smiled: "What can I help you with? I see you've been busy these days!"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "It's okay, mother, just rest. I'm almost busy now. I just have nothing to do and want to try out a few new varieties in the town. I haven't figured it out for a long time.
New dishes have arrived, and the world also needs some new dishes!"
Jin Yu nodded: "That's right, just those dishes, even if you are rare, you can eat enough!"
Chu Yiqing looked at the mustard seeds in his hand and said with a smile: "With mustard this time, I can make some new dishes at once!"
"Sister, I'll help you!" Jin Yu blinked her eyes and said, she also wanted to know how to eat these seeds!
Chu Yiqing nodded and asked Yingqian to bring out a small stone mill, put some seeds in it, grind it into fine powder little by little, and then let the pears steam on the basket when cooking in the evening.
"Miss Chu, the chickens are ready!" While he was busy, Liu San moved in a large wooden barrel, which contained twenty chickens that had just been killed.
"Oh, why did you kill so many chickens?" Jin Yu couldn't help shouting when he saw it, "How can we eat with only these people in our family?"
Chu Yiqing smiled and said: "Don't keep all the food for home. I want to make chicken in a jar tonight. It happens that the heating has started at night. There is charcoal burning under the pot, so don't waste it!"
"Jar Chicken?" Usually this chicken is either spicy stir-fried chicken or marinated. I had never heard of this Jar Chicken, and Jin Yu was really curious.
"It is said that this jar of chicken has a story!" Chu Yiqing said slowly while grinding the mustard.
"We have a story to listen to!" Mai Xiang, Qing Fei and Abao happened to be back from school. When they heard this, they also moved a small bench to surround Chu Yiqing.
"Okay, let's tell a story!" Abao also clapped his hands happily.
Seeing that everyone was so interested, Chu Yiqing slightly modified the legend of the Jar Chicken and said: "In the past, there was an emperor who had to leave the palace and run for his life because of a rape. Naturally, there was no comparison on the way to escape.
The palace had everything, so gradually, the emperor became obviously exhausted and had a loss of appetite, so the attendants who followed him were very worried. There was a eunuch beside the emperor, and he racked his brains to make the emperor happy. One day
, when he walked to a small village, at noon, he saw a child holding a golden thing in his hand and eating it with relish. The eunuch saw that the child was eating very well, so he went up to ask.
What to eat? It turned out that the farmer had slaughtered a chicken at home and was reluctant to eat it all at once. However, because it was summer, it was difficult to store it, so he added salt and osmanthus to the chicken and marinated it in a jar until there were guests at home.
When the chicken is ready, take it out and fry it in oil to make a delicious dish that is golden in color, full of caramel aroma, and delicious. The eunuch thought the chicken was good, so he bought one with the farmer for the emperor to eat, and the emperor ate it.
As expected, the dragon's heart was filled with joy and he was named Jar Chicken!"
"It turns out that there is such a story about this chicken. When I asked the girl to tell it, my mouth started to water!" After hearing the story, Jin Yu couldn't help but smack her mouth twice and said.
"Humph, this emperor must be a fool!" Suddenly, Abao said with disdain on his face.
Chu Yiqing was stunned, then turned to look at Abao: "Abao, why did you say that?"
"Mother, this emperor is so crazy that he even lost his palace. At this time, he is still thinking about eating. This emperor must be a foolish emperor!" Abao sneered and said, "To be an emperor, you have to be like Yao, Shun, and Yu.
Such a wise king! As an emperor, one person is the heaven, he has great power, he judges the time and situation, makes the best use of things, makes the best use of people, has a broad heart to accommodate the world, and a broad mind to accept all rivers."
When Abao said these words, Jinyu and Maixiang were so shocked that they both opened their mouths - how could just a chicken say such a big truth?
Concubine Qing's face was full of approval, "What A Bao said makes sense. Either the emperor doesn't do it, or he must be a wise king!"
Chu Yiqing frowned, with an indescribable feeling in his heart. The way of the emperor that Concubine Qing handed over to Abao undeniably touched the most sensitive part of Chu Yiqing's heart.
"Sister, this chicken is marinated with salt and osmanthus and then fried? But we don't have osmanthus at home!" Jin Yu was only concerned about cooking the chicken.
Chu Yiqing came back to his senses and said with a smile: "This is just a legend. Later, people have improved the cooking method of this jar of chicken. In fact, the most important step of the jar of chicken is to braise it, which takes the longest time and is difficult to master. Just talk about this braised chicken.
The brine is made from more than ten flavors of Chinese herbal medicine. The medicine cannot be put into the pot in bulk, but must be put into gauze bags. The key lies in the dosage and proportion of the medicine. The amount of medicine determines whether the taste is off, which is the authentic jar.
The most difficult part of making chicken is to seal the jar after mixing the marinade, lower the fire for two hours, seal the fire, and simmer for another hour and a half, a total of three and a half hours. Finally, open the jar, take it out of the jar, and sell it.
Not only can it maintain its golden, bright and eye-catching color, but it also tastes neither stuffy nor greasy, with crispy skin, tender meat and crispy bones, and a mouth-filling aroma. The chicken I sell is based on the jar chicken and paired with mustard.
Make the chicken in a mustard jar, and the taste is guaranteed to be authentic. If the elderly and children like it, just don’t add it. If you eat two chickens in one, it is guaranteed to be a best-seller!”
After listening to Chu Yiqing talking for so long, Jin Yu suddenly felt that making this chicken was too complicated, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the emperor said it was delicious, it turned out to be so troublesome!"
Qing Fei suddenly laughed and said: "Yiqing, the name of this mustard jar chicken is too common, why not call it Emperor Chicken? With this story, I guarantee that this chicken will become famous in no time!"
