The one hundred and fourth round of incense

When Youyi went to Wei Ru's mansion, she bumped into the second master coming to visit, and the two seemed to have known each other for a while. It's just that Wei Ru's attitude towards the second master is not very friendly, and the second master doesn't care.

"You guys have something to talk about slowly, I'll go home first." Youyi got up and was about to leave.

"The second master is a busy man, and he has to leave in a while." Wei Ru left her behind, "I'll have lunch with me later, the pickles you brought are very much to my liking, and I have prepared your favorite fries." ”

"Sister, there are always novelty snacks here, as long as you eat them, you can't forget them. One day, if my sister doesn't want to open a splendid workshop, she will make money every day by opening a small restaurant. ”

"You think everyone is a foodie like you?" Wei Ru scratched her nose with her fingers, smiling with a hint of pampering.

My sister said this badly, and the son said: Lust and food, it is human nature to like beauty and food. In this way, everyone is interested in eating. ”

"You girl has a more and more clever mouth, and even delicious food can pull the saint into the water."

Watching their sisters laughing, there was a hint of a smile on the second master's unchanged face. He didn't interject, and didn't seem to feel left out or impatient, just sat quietly and watched. He sat down for a cup of tea, stood up and took his leave.

This person was really a little strange, and he didn't have anything to say when he came, so he sat for a while and left.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for lunch, Wei Ru instructed the girl to set the table, and ordered someone to assemble all kinds of side dishes on the plate. The tender cucumbers, the white and red-skinned radish strips, the dark green cloud beans, and the peeled garlic cloves in the middle make people appetize.

"What is this?" Wei Ru saw a small urn with white glaze and blue and white flowers on the table, covered with a lid of the same color, and listened carefully to the movement of food being boiled inside. She didn't remember cooking this dish in the kitchen, and it looked like a Buddha jumping over a wall. It's just that the utensils used are more elaborate and more expensive.

Seeing this, the girl next to her hurriedly replied: "It was the Buddha who jumped over the wall brought by the second master and instructed the kitchen to simmer on the stove over low heat." ”

Buddha jumping over the wall is a simple dish that involves simmering all kinds of ingredients in broth, but it is quite difficult to make. Since the flavors of the various ingredients are distinct and blended, the ripening process should be just right, the bamboo shoots should be crisp, the shiitake mushrooms should be smooth and tender, the yams and taro should be dense, and the shark fin and abalone should absorb the sweetness of the vegetables, removing the fishy smell of the ingredients themselves, and becoming more mellow and delicious.

Most of the chefs in restaurants outside can cook this dish, but few of them can do it well. Wei Ru and Youyi can be said to be experts in eating, but so far they have not eaten the nostalgic Buddha jumping over the wall.

That mysterious second master came here just to send such a cup?

Wei Ru removed the seal around the lid, and a scent came out, which vaguely carried the smell of Shaoxing Huadiao wine - sure enough, it was Buddha jumping over the wall. Youyi closed her eyes and sniffed it, and said, "In addition to the common vegetables and seafood, there should be a special ingredient in it." I can't say what it is, I have to open the lid and see if I have eaten it. ”

"Good nose." Wei Ru smiled and opened the lid.

I saw that the soup was clear and not cloudy, and there was an abalone on the top, and I couldn't see anything below. Youyi was not in a hurry, but scooped up some soup first, and her eyes lit up when she took a sip.

"The soup is mellow and refreshing, and you can savor it in your mouth, first the umami of abalone and shark fin, then the refreshing sweetness of various vegetables, and the lingering aroma of the mixture on the tip of the tongue after swallowing. Good soup! Just from this soup, you can know that this cup of Buddha jumping over the wall is the best! After speaking, he took a few sips in succession, and then narrowed his eyes with a pleasant face.

Wei Ru also took a few sips and said with a smile: "I only know that this soup is one of the most delicious soups I have ever tasted, but I can't say so many words of praise from my sister." People say that blessed people are blessed when they eat, and now it seems to be true. Seeing my sister's small mouth stuffed with food, and her eyes narrowed into two slits with happiness, I feel that eating delicious food is the happiest thing in the world. ”

Although this color and appetite are also available, the sage also said that food and clothing and lust are important, which shows that food is more important than color. I'm just remembering the teachings of the saints. ”

"Puff~" Wei Ru couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "I dare to say anything at a young age, if I am heard by outsiders, I don't know how to criticize it?" ”

Youyi had already picked the abalone open, revealing the small egg underneath. It is obviously larger than the quail eggs that are put inside, and the egg white on the outside is pale blue, and the inky egg yolk inside can be seen when you clamp it open.

"Oh, it turned out to be a black egg." Wei Ru saw it and said disapprehantly, "It is estimated that there is also black chicken in it." The size of the black chicken is much smaller than the average chicken, and it gets its name because of the jet-black bones. It is said that the meat and eggs of black chicken are good nourishing products, especially suitable for women to replenish qi and blood. ”

Youyi heard of the black chicken for the first time, and it was the first time she saw its eggs. She tasted it and nodded, "I can't taste that fragrant, the taste is indeed different from eggs and quail eggs." I don't know what this black chicken tastes like? After saying that, he found another piece of chicken, and sure enough, he saw that the bones on it were jet black.

Taste it carefully in your mouth, the meat is smooth and delicate, and the moisture is more than that of ordinary chicken, and it has a little more fragrant taste.

"How come I've never heard of a black chicken? It may be something from Fanbang, and it is estimated that it is a tribute. Speaking of this, Youyi's eyes flashed, as if she had thought of something, "This second master can get tribute, he must be a high-ranking person." ”

"It doesn't matter who he is, let's just live our little life. There is good tea, there is food, there is a confidant, you can go wherever you want, stop and enjoy the scenery when you are tired, life is so comfortable! "Wei Ru is used to being free and easy, but she has the capital to live like this. Without the restraint of elders, without the control of her husband, she doesn't have to worry about the lack of silver, and she really doesn't know what can bind her free mind in heaven and earth.

Hearing this, Youyi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is a fairy-like day." I just burn incense and worship the Buddha every day, but I'm afraid I can't ask for it. Speaking of worshipping the Buddha, she remembered that she was going to Qingyan Temple on March 3, so she invited Wei Ru to go with her

, and invited Wei Ru to go with him.

"I believe in ghosts and worship ghosts, but I don't like places with a lot of people. If you have the Buddha in your heart, it's the same wherever you worship. "Wei Ru's temperament is cold, and it is rare for him to become close friends with Youyi at first sight.

In the blink of an eye, it was March 3, and Youyi got up early in the morning. There are many pilgrims in this Qingyan Temple on the first fifteenth day, and now there will be fewer people in the big temple fair? If you don't leave early, you won't be able to reach the mountain for half a day. This worship of the Buddha incense can not be past noon, otherwise not only will not be protected by the Buddha, but will also anger the Buddha. People are especially fond of incense, and it is said that incense sticks to the incense show sincerity, and the Buddha will respond to his requests. It's just that this pillar of incense is not something that anyone can wear, especially in a big temple like Qingyan Temple.

Feng Shi doesn't ask for incense, just don't miss the good time. The old lady wanted to go, but she was a little uncomfortable a few times at night. In addition, she is old, and if she hikes up the mountain, she may not be able to bear it, so she stays in the house.

The Jin family produced a total of three cars, one for Feng and Aunt Li, two for the five sisters, one for Yuyi and Wanrou, and one for the other sisters. Although it's just a car, it can reveal some clues. Yuyi and Wanrou are both concubines, and Youyi and others are concubines. In this era, there is an unbridgeable gap between the concubines, which can be seen from the daily details. If the housewife takes her girl out for entertainment, she can judge the difference between her and her husband from the position she stands and the distance between the front and back.

The big temple fair was really crowded, and the car couldn't move before it reached the foot of the mountain. Feng Shi and the others had to come down and walk, but fortunately, there were soft sedan chairs at the foot of the mountain, and hired a few to go up the mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are stairs made of stone, three thousand three hundred and thirty-three. It is a good choice to sit in a sedan chair and enjoy the scenery along the way, but unfortunately it is difficult for even the sedan chair to pass halfway up the mountain, so they can only walk to the top of the mountain.

Is it easy to climb the ladder step by step? Feng Shi and the others walked sweating profusely, their hands and feet were weak, and they finally entered Qingyan Temple in the crowd. Both inside and outside the hall are pious people, and some people carry incense as thick as hoes and insert it into the incense burner outside the hall.

There are so many good men and women, everyone comes with a wish, I don't know if the Bodhisattva can hear it clearly and manage it! Youyi followed behind the Feng family, offering incense in the main hall, side hall, and apse one by one. After a long circle, everyone felt exhausted. Seeing that it was almost noon, the pilgrims dispersed a lot. Feng decided to stay and eat, and it was not too late to leave when there were fewer people coming down the mountain.

Youyi is no stranger to the place of Qingyan Temple, and the Feng family has brought her here. The Jin family also has an exclusive meditation room here for rest.

Entering the backyard, Youyi saw that all the meditation rooms seemed to be filled with people, and it was estimated that they were all wives and girls who came to the incense. Feng asked the little monk a little inquire, and knew that there were a few familiar wives here, so he hurried over to meet.

Wan Rou wanted to go to the back mountain to enjoy the flowers, but Youyi remembered that she had met Hao Lianjue and the second prince fighting in the old years, and she was not interested in going to her hometown again.

However, Yuyi said with a smile: "It's interesting when the sisters are together." I remember the last time the four sisters went alone, this time our sisters have to act together. ”

"Fourth sister, go, go! It's so beautiful and exquisite, no matter how you look at it, it's not boring. It's so easy to get out, don't spoil the fun! Wan Rou took Youyi's hand and said.

Seeing this, Youyi had no choice but to nod and follow them. Thinking that although the two princes returned to the palace, they were strictly disciplined, Hao Lianjue was afraid that they had already arrived in Mobei, and they would definitely not fight there again. Besides, she must be with her sisters this time, so as not to cause any more trouble.

The sisters took a short rest and went to the back mountain together, and this time Youyi understood Wanrou's thoughts. Not far away, you will see three groups of five, including noble ladies and rich children. When Dayuan saw the sons coming, the girl hid shy and embarrassed, and those sons would also take a detour when they saw it. Even so, it is inevitable that they will see each other in the same eye.

At first, the girls wore veils, but when they met their brothers and relatives to go over to greet them, they were all acquaintances, so they naturally had to go to the veil to be polite, and they simply didn't bring them later. Where is this flower appreciation, it is obviously a big show of talented people and beautiful people!

Fortunately, before Youyi was finished, she combed two round buns with colorful ribbons tied on them, and she looked like a little girl. Yuyi frowned a little, walked for a while and said, "I think let's go back." There are a lot of people here, and it's not good to have something to do for a while. ”

"What's the hurry? There are many girls here besides us, who dares to do bad things in broad daylight? Wan Rou didn't want to leave, she was dressed up beautifully today, and a few girls had been looking at her just now, which made her very proud.

Besides, she has long heard that Qingyan Temple is the family temple of several major families, even if she can't see the son of the family on this trip, it is good to be able to make friends with the young lady of the family!

"County Lord!" Before Yuyi could speak again, she heard Wan Rou shouting.

Looking from afar, I saw a group of people coming over like stars holding the moon, and the person in the center was the little county lord of Rui Wang's Mansion.

Wan Rou trotted all the way over, and saw her saluting the county lord, and she didn't know what to say and waved to everyone. Yuyi and the others can only go over, except for Youyi, others have seen the county lord, but now they feel that the county lord has grown taller, his facial features have grown, and he has the appearance of a big girl.

The county lord glanced at everyone, stopped his gaze on Youyi, thought for a while and said, "You are the fourth girl of the Golden Mansion?" The person who was praised by the emperor as 'women don't let her eyebrows'? ”

"It's the little woman." Youyi was named and hurriedly stood up to reply.

Hearing this, the county lord asked her to raise her head, looked up and down again, and then said with some disappointment: "That's it! Some magistrates tried to get the emperor's blue eyes, so they made a lot of things that disappeared. Or it is a matter of adding leaves and fruits with stalks, and it is said to be wild, but in fact, it is just a matter of sesame mung beans. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Youyi, and some people showed disdain in their eyes.

saw Youyi smile slightly, "The county lord is too worried!" Today's saint is a rare emperor in ancient times, and there is only one way to die in front of the emperor! All civil and military officials know that the emperor is sage, and no one should dare to do this! ”

"You!" The county lord's face changed when he heard this, and he pointed at Youyi and said sharply, "You are so bold!" ”

"The county lord has good eyesight, and the emperor is the plaque that gave the little woman 'women don't let her eyebrows'. The little girl should have some guts, otherwise she will live up to the emperor's favor! Youyi's face always had an innocent and soft smile, but her words were sharp.

Imagine that the county lord grew up being held in the palm of his hand by 10,000 people, when has he ever been hit like this? But Youyi's words couldn't find anything wrong at all, she was angry but couldn't get angry.
