Volume 1: How to give birth to the word Mandarin Duck [9] Rock sugar gourd
Shen Liangchen retrieved the medicine from Su Mansion overnight, and then gave the inn a few taels of silver to borrow the kitchen of the inn to burn the medicine.
In the second half of the night, Shen Liangchen burned the medicine, carefully poured it into a bowl, and then asked Xun'er to bring it to Chu Changting to drink, and at the same time instructed Xun'er to go to the market early the next morning to buy the best hawthorn and rock sugar, boil the rock sugar into syrup, and make rock sugar gourds. He didn't care about the tiredness of his body, and rode to the nearest Liudaoliang Mountain, and went to the top of the mountain to get the ice cubes that are common in all seasons.
Xun'er was slightly stunned when he heard Shen Liangchen's order, and was a little surprised at his intentions, he actually remembered Chu Changting's nonsense when he was in a daze, and couldn't help but be secretly moved for Chu Changting in his heart.
Shen Liangchen arrived at Liudaoliang when the sky was bright, and when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he didn't care about the tiredness and tiredness of his body, and walked straight to the mountain.
rode all the way, and finally reached the top of the mountain when the sun was three poles. Shen Liangchen turned over and dismounted, looked at the steeper and steeper mountain road in front of him, turned around and tied the Benjing BMW, which had also been tired all night with him, to a thicker tree, and then continued to climb up little by little.
Shen Liangchen stepped on the gravel with difficulty and slowly, and suddenly felt a palpitation. He hurriedly bent down, clutched one hand tightly over his chest, and began to gasp for air.
After a while, Shen Liangchen gradually felt that the earth-shaking and violent colic slowly faded from his heart, he got up slowly, feeling a little dizzy, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the mountains and stones in front of him began to rotate, twisting into wavy blocks of color. Shen Liangchen bit his lower lip and tried to sober himself up, but to no avail.
It was a long time before he completely withdrew from this dizziness, and Shen Liangchen firmly grasped a big stone beside him with some fear, his sword eyebrows furrowed.
I'm afraid that I'm running around day and night these days, and I didn't rest all night last night, and my heart can't stand it. Shen Liangchen thought, looked up at the glacier close at hand in front of him, rubbed his temples, and then continued to climb up.
Can't keep the pavilion waiting too long......
At the same time, Chu Changting drank the medicine that Shen Liangchen had cooked, and felt that he was already half better. After waking up, he sullenly wanted to call Xun'er to come in and serve him to drink water, but after waiting for a long time, only Mei Xiang's cold face came into view.
"Where's Xun'er?" Chu Changting looked out with difficulty.
"Miss, don't worry, Xun'er will go and make rock sugar gourd for Miss, and she will be back in a while." If the young lady needs anything, just tell me. Mei Makeup spoke lightly, and her voice was straight but like a sharp edge like a bamboo slip.
"Ah, why did she suddenly make a rock sugar gourd for me?" Although Chu Changting felt his index finger move, he was really puzzled, and those childhood memories of rock sugar gourds all surged up in her chest, making her body tremble unconsciously, "Besides, how did you do the rock sugar gourd in this hot and humid weather in the south...... This girl ......"
"It was Miss who kept shouting to eat rock sugar gourds when she had a high fever last night, so General Shen ordered Xun'er to buy them, and then he rushed to Liudaoliang overnight, went to the mountain to get the ice cubes that are available all year round, and came back to make rock sugar gourds for Miss." Mei Makeup said, "It's a pity that Mei Makeup is five big and three coarse, and she doesn't know anything about cooking, so she can only stay and serve Miss." ”
When Chu Changting heard Mei Makeup's words, a warm current appeared in his heart. Thinking of the thin figure of Yi Lunhuan holding a rock sugar gourd for himself as a child, his heart suddenly became mixed again. The bitterness and warmth were intertwined and surged in Chu Changting's heart, and she stretched out her hand to cover her face, wanting to make her thoughts clearer.
After slowly calming down, Shen Liangchen's cynical smile suddenly appeared in his mind extremely clearly. Chu Changting opened his eyes suddenly, staring straight at the bed with some surprise, his thoughts fluttering.
In the evening, Shen Liangchen rushed back. After arriving at the inn, he put the ice he retrieved into a large wooden barrel without delay, and then asked Xun'er to wrap the hawthorn in syrup and put it in it, and after everything was done, he was able to rest for a while.
Shen Liangchen didn't want Chu Changting to be worried when he saw his tired appearance, so he went back to his room directly. He lay down on the bed, and in an instant he fell into a groggy sleep.
Mei Makeup stood quietly to the side, deep in her eyes was a deep hidden grief.
After a while, Mei Makeup's face, which had been calm, suddenly changed slightly, and she turned to look out the window, only to see a blue figure flashing by.
Mei Makeup's heart shook suddenly.
On the second day, Shen Liangchen felt that he was almost recovered, so he got up early to see the rock sugar gourd in the barrel. Seeing those crystal clear red hawthorns sleeping quietly in the ice like babies in swaddling clothes, Shen Liangchen breathed a sigh of relief and thought happily, this time Changting would definitely like it.
I don't know how much I can understand. Thinking of this, Shen Liangchen smiled bitterly with some loss.
At this time, Xun'er came from outside, and said happily: "General Shen got up so early, don't you know that Miss also got up early today, and when she opened her eyes, she shouted to eat sugar gourd!" General Shen really has a heart! Xun'er leaned over and took a string of rock sugar gourds as she spoke, and then winked at Shen Liangchen and smiled, "Let's go, General Shen, come with me to see Miss!" ”
"Ah...... Well! Shen Liangchen was suddenly a little overwhelmed, and was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and happily followed Xun'er like a child and rushed to Chu Changting's house. As soon as they pushed the door, they saw Chu Changting sitting cross-legged on the collapse, contentedly drinking the Qingyi specialty Wangshan Yunwu Tea that Su He gave them.
Take a sip, full of sweetness, around the tongue for three days, the aftertaste is long, it is really the best in the tea. Chu Changting took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and tasted it carefully. The scorching summer sun, the sweet rain and dew of early autumn, the dew of early morning, the cool breeze of evening and the clouds and mist on the mountainside are all like ripples blooming on the tongue and between the lips and teeth.
"Just like under the lamp, the old man is thousands of miles away, and he returns to the shadow." Chu Changting was satisfied, and muttered, "I can't speak, and my heart is happy and introspective." If this tea is paired with the famous Liangnan Yangzhou water, I don't know what immortal realm it can make people happy. ”
Shen Liangchen looked at her contented appearance, and he didn't have the withering of the illness the day before yesterday, so he felt a little funny, and he said loudly: "The long pavilion is really good Yaxing." This tea is the tea used by the imperial court, and a fixed amount of tribute is given to the imperial court every year. This year, there are so many more, Su He gave it to me, and let you enjoy it. ”
When Chu Changting heard Shen Liangchen's voice, she was so frightened that she almost didn't drop the teacup on the ground, she hurriedly adjusted her sitting posture, and then glared fiercely at Xun'er who was snickering on the side, but her eyes touched the evil Shen Liangchen who was laughing, and her face turned red in an instant.
What a shame...... Chu Changting raised his forehead and said with some embarrassment: "General Shen was tired all day yesterday, why did he get up so early today...... Don't take a break for a while? ”
"Hahaha." Shen Liangchen leaned sideways to take the rock sugar gourd from Xun'er's hand, and then winked at her. Xun'er immediately understood and withdrew from the room in a playful manner. Chu Changting didn't know what kind of medicine Shen Liangchen was selling in the gourd, and looked at him with some vigilance.
"Your husband and I have been practicing martial arts all year round, and my body is very tough." Shen Liangchen said as he walked towards Chu Changting, then sat beside her, stretched out his hand and wrapped Chu Changting around and let her sit firmly in his arms, "In the future, we will become relatives, and we will know in the lady's cave." ”
Chu Changting had never been teased like this, her face turned even redder, she was a little annoyed and reached out to hit Shen Liangchen, but she was firmly bound by Shen Liangchen and couldn't move. Chu Changting opened his mouth a little annoyed and wanted to scold Shen Liangchen, but was blocked back by Shen Liangchen's sugar gourd.
Chu Changting's apricot eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Liangchen's face with some incredulity. Shen Liangchen held a sugar gourd in his mouth, and then smoothly sent it into Chu Changting's mouth. The lips of the two of them touched and retracted like a dragonfly, and Chu Changting suddenly felt that he was numb from head to toe, and his heart beat violently like thunder.
"Hahaha, girl, take it and eat it yourself. I'll go out and buy some breakfast and come back to you. Shen Liangchen smiled triumphantly, then stuffed the rock sugar gourd into the hand of Chu Changting, who had been fixed, gently put her on the collapse, and then strode out of the door.
Until Shen Liangchen closed the door and Xun'er rushed in with a curious expression, Chu Changting was still as stupid as a wooden man, his eyes were wide open, and he was holding a sugar gourd in his mouth, looking a little funny.
"Little... Miss? ”
