Chapter 24: Yam Chicken Soup
In Anping in May, the weather temperature is a little longer. But sooner or later, there is still a hint of coolness.
Gong Zisong didn't come back last night, and Qin Han and Uncle Jiu finished the last round of Taijiquan.
Qin Han wiped the fine sweat on his head, yesterday Wang Laohu made trouble, and the restaurant was closed for a day, and it is estimated that the business will have some impact.
"Uncle. I have something to tell you. ”
"Oh? What's up? "Uncle Nine is usually a person who rarely speaks, and he has a constant smile every day, but today he actually took the initiative to find Qin Han for something.
Uncle Nine paused, and then told Qin Han what Old Man Sun said yesterday.
"Is there anyone targeting you so soon?" Qin Han frowned, his peers are enemies, Qin Han still understands this truth.
In the original world, stir-fried vegetables were only popularized during the Ming and Qing dynasties, when oil crops were planted in a large area in China. In this era, there was no such thing as peanuts, and there were so few things that could be used to extract oil, let alone many things, and people didn't know that they could be used to extract oil.
There is a restaurant business that is booming, and it is inevitable to be targeted, but I don't know who is investigating.
It seems that the beggars in the city must be integrated as soon as possible, otherwise his current strength will not be able to withstand the blow at all. Moreover, with this group of beggars, it is equivalent to having a pair of eyes that can monitor every move of the entire Anping City.
"Uncle, drink tea." Xiao Tao ran towards Qin Han with a teapot, and every day at this time, Xiao Tao would hold the tea on time and wait for Qin Han to finish punching.
"Thank you, hard work." Qin Han took the tea and took a sip. The temperature of the tea is always just right, neither cold nor hot.
"Little Peach girl comes to see her uncle boxing every day, but it's really not bad for a day." Uncle Nine looked at Xiao Tao and maintained his usual smile.
"Idleness is idleness. My uncle's example is so high, I'm really embarrassed not to do something. Xiao Tao smiled and explained.
"Uncle, Miss Chu is here." Xiao Liu ran into the courtyard and said to Qin Han Shili.
……
"Childe walks slowly." Xiu'er bowed slightly and saluted the two teenagers, until the two teenagers walked out of the mansion and then ran back to the middle hall.
"Miss, this is the sixth wave of coming to my uncle, when will it be the head?" Xiu'er knocked on her shoulder tiredly and said to Chu Luoning, who was drinking tea.
Since the Lianghu Poetry Society, Qin Han has relied on his own to suppress the three major talents of Anping and began to circulate in the Anping literati circle. I was greatly amazed by Qin Han's poems, especially the one that was always happy, which made people hold it well, and they all admired Qin Han's literary brilliance, and faintly had the meaning of enshrined it as the first genius in Anping.
One to ten, ten to hundred. The final result was that more and more people came to visit Qin Han. After the poetry meeting, everyone knew that Qin Han was the son-in-law of the Chu family, so they ran to the Chu family in groups of three or two. But Qin Han had already moved to the restaurant, where could he appear in the Chu family for entertainment, Chu Luoning had no choice but to excuse everyone on the grounds that her husband was out on errands.
Most of the people who came to visit every day were young people, there were three or five waves yesterday, and six waves came today, all of which were received by Chu Luoning in the name of Mrs. Qin. With so many people coming to the door, you can't spoil the etiquette.
In fact, not only Qin Han is famous, but Chu Luoning is also considered to be a first-class talented woman by virtue of her dream. The sisters of the same poetry club also came wave after wave. Chu Luoning struggled to explain to others every time that this dream order was not made by herself, but written by Qin Han, just to get angry with Fang Ping. But everyone laughed and said that Chu Luo Ning was deceiving, how could a man make such a woman's words.
Chu Luoning drank all the tea in the cup, these two were busy Chu Luoning, every time he dealt with these visitors, he had to take a lot of time, trying his best not to let those who came on the mood feel rude.
It's not a way to go on like this, these people always can't see Qin Han, and it is inevitable that some bad gossip will spread and ruin their reputation. It seems that Qin Han has to be called back for a while.
"Let's go, let's go to a restaurant." Chu Luoning decided to go to Qin Han for a while, hmph, why should I deal with the matter he provoked.
"By the way, take the yam stewed chicken soup that I cooked all night."
"Yes, miss." Xiu'er answered and ran to the kitchen.
……
Qin Han and Chu Luo condensed each other, and the two of them had been silent for a while.
Qin Han was a little embarrassed to face Chu Luoning, after all, he ran away from the desert that night of the poetry meeting, and he really didn't know what to say to Chu Luoning.
It was Chu Luoning who took the lead in breaking the embarrassment.
"I've made some yam chicken soup, you can taste it." Chu Luoning took the clay pot from Xiu'er's hand and used a spoon to make a bowl full of chicken soup.
Qin Han ended up holding the porcelain bowl of chicken soup and warmed it in his hand. The temperature of the chicken soup is just right, so you don't need to let it cool anymore, you can drink it directly.
In the mouth, the chicken soup has a strong aroma without a greasy feeling. "It's delicious."
Seeing Qin Han finish drinking, Chu Luoning smiled with satisfaction.
"Of course it's delicious, uncle, this is what the young lady has been cooking all night, from a big pot, to such a small jar." Xiu'er saw that Qin Han liked it very much, and hurriedly told Qin Han about Chu Luoning's hard work.
"Thank you."
I didn't expect this to be boiled by the fairy sister after staying up all night, and I instantly felt that the taste was even better.
"It's not as serious as Xiu'er said, it's just that I occasionally get up and tell the heat." Chu Luoning blushed a little, and somehow he thought about making soup yesterday, and in the morning, the ghost sent it to him, but his father also asked him to taste it. Xiu'er is really, what are you doing with him?
Chu Luo pondered and served another bowl to Qin Han. Seeing that the fairy sister didn't mention the matter of the poetry meeting again, Qin Han also relaxed and began to take the chicken soup cooked by the fairy sister seriously.
Qin Han finished drinking the second bowl, wiped his mouth, looked at Chu Luoning and said. "Is there something going on here today?"
Hearing this, Chu Luoning had a sense of contradiction that was both happy and tired. "At the Poetry Club that day, the fact that you alone defeated the three great talents of Li Zhang and Liu in three different disciplines of poetry and arithmetic has spread in the Anping literati circle."
When Qin Han heard the poetry meeting, his heart tightened, and he thought that Chu Luoning was going to start settling accounts, but Qin Han was relieved when he heard it. Qin Han had already guessed that this matter would ferment, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, after all, there were no newspapers and no various news media in this era.
"In the past two days, many people have come to Chu Mansion to get to know you. Of course, there are others who want to try it out with you. Chu Luoning continued.
For those who want to get acquainted with themselves, they must be the people they met in the place on the day of the poetry meeting, and most of Qin Han's strength is obvious to all. And those who want to compete, there are some people who have not experienced the Lianghu Poetry Club. I don't believe that Qin Han can beat the three talents with one person, and wants to give it a try. There should still be a small number of people, I am afraid that Qin Han is flashy, as long as he wins Qin Han, he can take advantage of Qin Han's victory over the three major talents to ride the wind and rise to the top, so as to make a name for himself in Anping Prefecture and even the entire northwest province.
"This matter has caused you trouble, hard work." Qin Han looked at Chu Luoning and said sincerely, these were all troubles caused by himself, but he didn't expect Chu Luoning to take the blame.
"Uncle, Miss hasn't been idle much in the past two days, and all the time is spent receiving them." Xiu'er said with some distress.
Qin Han was also a little guilty, Chu Luoning was so busy, and he took the evening to make chicken soup for himself.
"Xiu'er, if someone comes to visit in the future, you will let people come to me, and don't let them disturb your young lady again." Qin Han said to Xiu'er.
"Okay, uncle." Xiu'er said happily.
Chu Luoning originally wanted to say that he didn't matter, but he thought that the purpose of coming here was to solve this matter, so he didn't continue to dwell on this matter.
"By the way, this glass is for you." Chu Luo thought of another thing, and took out the glazed pendant given by Qin Han from his sleeve pocket.
"I said that day, I will return this colorful glass pendant to you in private."
Chu Luoning's actions made Qin Han a little unhappy, Qin Han frowned, stood up, and said. "That's why, you just said you wanted to pay me back that day, but I never agreed."
"This is too precious, Sister Zhang said that this colorful glazed pendant may be unique to the family."
"But you seem to me to be unique in the world."
Qin Han looked at Chu Luoning seriously, and there was no other emotion in his eyes except seriousness.
"This..."
Looking at Qin Han's aggressive gaze, Chu Luoning's heart was like a deer that kept wanting to jump out, constantly crashing into Chu Luoning's heart.
"Uncle, the time for the appointment with Gu Lao is approaching." Xiao Liu looked at Qin Han and said carefully.
"Okay, I got it." Qin Han responded to Xiao Liu's voice, then turned to Chu Luo and said. "Don't talk about it again. I still have a few things."
"Xiu'er, take your young lady back home."
After speaking, Qin Han walked out of the inn and rushed to the City God Temple.
……
When Qin Han arrived, Gu Lao was already there. Hong Laoqi has moved from the dark room yesterday to the main hall, and next to the bed is Gong Zisong, who did not return all night yesterday. Yesterday's little beggar still gathered in a circle, but there were two more adults, one was a little skinny, and the other was tall and strong. I don't know if he ate all the food that the beggars begged for.
Gu Laoqi's hand reached Hong Laoqi's forehead again and again, his face was full of disbelief, and he couldn't stop muttering in his mouth.
"Cold? It's really cold! It's not hot at all. ”
"Lao Qin, you're here. Come on, Seventh Brother's fever has subsided. Seeing Qin Han walking into the main hall, Gong Zisong hurriedly greeted.
Qin Han walked to the vicinity of the bed and touched Hong Laoqi's forehead, and sure enough, the temperature was relatively close to normal.
"Qin Xiaoyou, dare to ask how you used to relieve Hong Laoqi's body heat, and also, I observed the wound today, this inflammation is faintly under control, what method do you use?" Gu Chunqiu's hands holding Qin Han's arms trembled uncontrollably, he didn't expect Qin Han to really do what he said and control the inflammation. He was even more curious about the treatment method, and he had asked Gong Zisong many times, but Gong Zisong had to ask Qin Han to agree.
