83_83499 The two sat in the box for a long time, Wen Tianhe wanted to occupy the dominant position in this conversation, so he kept talking on the shelf, but Du Qiyue did not take the initiative to speak, always Wen Tianhe said a sentence before he replied, and most of them were words with mud, which made Wen Tianhe passive. In the end, Wen Tianhe saw that it was impossible to drag it out like this, so he had to say directly: "Actually, I have a reluctant request, I hope Du Langjun can agree to me." ”

Knowing that it was a reluctant invitation but had to say it and let others agree, Du Qiyue hated this way of speaking the most, and the little good impression he had for Wen Tianhe just now disappeared without a trace because of this sentence. Du Qiyue took a sip of tea and said, "Please tell me what is the matter first, if I can accept this request, I will agree." ”

Wen Tianhe took the teacup and hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask Du Langjun to show me your jade pendant." ”

"My pendant is just an inconspicuous stone, and it's not worth seeing at all." Du Qiyue immediately said, although when he was in the Taishou Mansion, Wen Zhuying said that this pendant was made of a precious jade called green and white jade, but Du Qiyue preferred to believe that it was just an ordinary blue and white stone, he really didn't want to think about it, Du Fugui and Zhao Qingke were ordinary countrymen, how could there be that kind of precious jade.

"Qingbai jade is very special, people who have not seen it will think that it is just an ordinary stone, but those who have seen it will never admit it, because the texture and jade quality of Qingbai jade are very special. My pendant was brought out of the palace by my aunt, engraved with the Rui Beast and Blue Bird of the Dafeng Dynasty, and I have never seen anyone else bring the same for so many years, so I am very curious about Du Langjun's jade pendant, and I really want to take a look. So, please Du Langjun must agree to my little request," Wen Tianhe said in a pleading tone.

Du Qiyue intuitively felt that there would be a lot of trouble after taking out the pendant, but Wen Tianhe said that he really had no reason to refuse, after all, people didn't do anything, they just wanted to see his pendant, and it would be strange if he insisted on not giving it. Therefore, although Du Qiyue was unwilling, he still took out the pendant from his collar and put it on the table.

"Please take a look."

Wen Tianhe picked up the pendant and looked at it carefully in his hand for a while, then took off his pendant from the collar and compared it together. The two pendants are made of blue and white jade with similar patterns, and the carved shapes are also very similar, except for the differences in the details on the bird feathers, at first glance they really look exactly the same.

After looking at it for a long time, Wen Tianhe smiled with relief and returned the pendant to Du Qiyue, "It's really a very similar jade pendant, except for the different words carved on it, it looks really almost identical, no wonder my brother would admit his mistake at the time, if it was me, I might have seen it wrong if I didn't look carefully!" ”

"The words carved on it? Is there a word on this? Du Qiyue took the pendant and looked at it over and over again, but did not find any words on it.

"On the wings of the bird, the pattern of the bird's feathers, if you look closely, you can see the word 'Qi' in ancient style, and this piece of mine is the word 'Ju' in ancient style."

"Homogeneous?" Du Qiyue put the pendant in front of him, carefully stared at the lines on the bird's wings, and after a closer look, he found that the lines on it were a somewhat deformed ancient Qi character, but if he didn't know in advance that it was a word, ordinary people probably wouldn't be able to see it.

"The jade pendants of the two of us are so similar, and it is also fate, I don't know how Du Langjun's jade pendant was obtained?" Wen Tianhe put on a jade pendant and asked as if he didn't mind.

It's a little strange to think about the jade pendant, so Du Qiyue has been worried, and when he heard Tianhe ask, he also pretended not to care and said: "It's the talisman that my family asked for from the temple, and it's not valuable, so although it's very similar to what you said about green and white jade, it should actually be just an ordinary stone." ”

"Is that so? Then maybe this jade pendant fell to the people by chance, after all, ordinary people don't know this green and white jade, so they regard this jade pendant as an ordinary stone. But this is indeed a real green and white jade, Du Langjun can be carefully kept in the future, such a thing is not worn by ordinary people, and Du Langjun still has to be careful not to be seen in the future. Wen Tianhe pretended to be concerned.

Du Qiyue put it away, and didn't have the heart to perfunctory with Wen Tianhe anymore, so she stood up and said, "Thank you Wen Gongzi for your kindness, I will pay attention." If there's nothing else to do, I'll walk back first, today's game is a bit tiring, and I want to take a good rest. ”

"It's me who disturbed me a lot, so Wen Mou will leave first." Wen Tianhe said, stood up in advance and walked out.

The results of the cooking competition came out the next day, and Du Qiyue, who thought that he was more auspicious and less lucky, won the first place, which made him very happy. Qi Zining won the fifth place this time, although he was several places worse than Du Qiyue in the ranking, but he didn't care at all, but after knowing the result, he rushed Du Qiyue back to the inn, wanting him to try the dim sum during a competition.

At this time, it happened to be September, Guangdeok County was rich in aquatic products, and the crabs in the lake were all six or seven taels, which was extremely fat, so the topic of this kitchen competition was to use crabs to make snacks. Du Qiyue makes crab roe buns, using an ancestral method, and you can know that it is excellent just by smelling the taste. Qi Zining was greedy when he watched the game yesterday, but he was embarrassed to disturb Du Qiyue before the results came out, and now when he saw that Du Qiyue had won the first place, he was even more greedy in his heart, and he had to ask Du Qiyue to make it for him.

"I know, I know, you first ask someone to buy fresh big crabs, there are no crabs in this kitchen, what do you want me to do?" Du Qiyue said helplessly.

When Qi Zining heard this, he immediately called a small servant to buy crabs, gave a few taels of silver, and pointed out that he wanted the biggest and freshest.

"By the way, what kind of dim sum did you make yesterday?" After the little guy left, Du Qiyue asked.

"I made crab soup, and the taste was accidentally not adjusted, and it was a little fishy." Qi Zining pouted and said. He is accustomed to making crabs with homemade old sour vinegar at home to remove the fishy smell, and the vinegar prepared for this kitchen competition is not enough to taste, so he accidentally pours some less, and the result is a little less effortless.

"Speaking of this, I think of a dish, but unfortunately there are no ingredients here, so I can't make it." Du Qiyue said with some pity.

"What kind of dish, what ingredients do you want, just tell me, I'll let someone buy it." Qi Zining said.

"It's a crab roe vermicelli pot, I want vermicelli to make this dish, can your people buy this vermicelli?" Du Qiyue said jokingly.

When Qi Zining heard the ingredients he had never heard of, he immediately became interested, grabbed Du Qiyue's arm, dragged him and asked, "Fans, what is this, I haven't heard of it?" Tell me, Leya, tell me, what is it, what does it look like, and what does it taste like? ”

"Vermicelli is a crystal clear strip-like thing that tastes smooth and has no taste in itself, but it is the easiest to absorb the umami of the ingredients, and it tastes best when made with meat." Du Qiyue said.

There is no such thing as fans in Dafeng Dynasty, so Qi Zining couldn't imagine what fans looked like when he heard Du Qiyue's description, so he couldn't mention how anxious he was, so he had to pester Du Qiyue to tell him where to buy this fan.

Usually Qi Zining teased Du Qiyue, but this time Du Qiyue deliberately teased him, but he didn't say that he would be a fan, which made Qi Zining scratch his ears and cheeks for several days. Later, Du Qiyue compassionately told Qi Zining the truth, but Qi Zining was very angry.

Since the results of the cooking competition came out, the two didn't plan to stay in Guangdejun for long, so they packed their bags that night and left Zedong County the next day. However, this time the two of them did not take a boat, but rented two carriages and traveled by land.

Qi Zining was a little strange about Du Qiyue's generous behavior, and after the carriage left Zedong County, he asked: "Le Ya, why don't you think the car rental money is expensive this time?" ”

"I took the things that were rewarded by the Taishou Mansion, and now my purse is very bulging." Du Qiyue said with a smile.

"What, you took something for it? That box of wild ginseng was given together? Qi Zining asked.

"Well, let's do it together."

"Such a good ginseng, you may not be able to buy it if you have money, you actually gave it to it! I would have bought it if I had known it, and if I took it back to honor my father, he would have died of joy. Qi Zining's face was full of pity, and he slapped Du Qiyue and said, "If you are short of money, even if you borrow it from me, how can you give it to you!" ”

"Who said I was short of money, I just put my things in the pawnshop." Du Qiyue rubbed his sore arm and said, even if he has no knowledge in the world, he knows that those things are not necessarily available on the market, and he will really take them away if he is stupid.

"What do you mean?" Qi Zining asked, storing things in the pawnshop, this was really the first time he had heard it.

"That's what it means! Those things take up space and are not easy to store, it is inconvenient to take them on the road, and it is not only expensive for me to send them back to the post station, so I put them in the pawnshop. I've been working for two years, and the pawnshop will help me take a good look at these things in these two years, and when I come back here after the competition, as long as I pay a few taels of silver interest, I can redeem the things intact, and then take them home in person, isn't it convenient. Du Qiyue explained.

Qi Zining's face was full of surprise, it was the first time he had heard of Du Qiyue's practice, where would ordinary people think that pawnshops could still have this kind of usage. However, when he thought about it carefully, he felt that Du Qiyue's method was really good, and putting those valuable things in the pawnshop was indeed much easier and safer than carrying them with him or letting the post station send them back
