Chapter 290: I Met Empty
"That's it...... Empty? What are you doing here? Hearing the voice behind him, Zhao Yan immediately turned around and said in surprise, only to see a young monk standing behind him with a jade tree in the wind, it was the versatile one.
"Hehe, everyone in Tokyo City thought that the county king was in Hebei, but they didn't expect the county king to come to Shandong, could it be that the county king didn't have to go to Hebei to supervise the army?" I saw the empty smile on his face and walked over, at this time he was still wearing a moon-white monk's robe, although a little shabby, but very clean, in Zhao Yan's impression, the empty seems to maintain this indifferent demeanor anytime and anywhere, and never ignore the cleanliness of the appearance because of the difference in the environment.
"Haha, I came to Shandong because I had something to do temporarily, but weren't you in the capital, when did you come to Shandong?" Zhao Yan asked very curiously, Likong was responsible for helping Princess Bao'an recuperate her body before, but when he went to Liao, Princess Bao'an's body was almost recovered, and there was no need for Likong to make medicinal food for her every day, so at that time, Likong had already returned to Jixiang Temple, but from time to time he would go to Zhao Yan to help Princess Bao'an diagnose her body.
"I was originally an outsider, but only a greedy mouth, last time the king of the county said that there is a thing called sea intestine here in Shandong, not only delicious taste, but also can replace monosodium glutamate after drying, the little monk has long wanted to come to taste it, I didn't expect to meet the king of the county here, is it possible that the king of the county also came to taste the sea intestine?" He said with a smile.
Zhao Yan was also stunned when he heard this, but he quickly remembered. When I was chatting with the other party about MSG, I did mention the sea intestines here on the Shandong Peninsula, and I couldn't help laughing at the moment: "I'm not as free as you, this time I'm here on business, and I'm going to leave and return to the capital tomorrow." ”
"That's a pity, I've already inquired with the local fishermen, the sea intestines can only be caught in the spring wind, and the local fishermen didn't eat them at all before, I don't know if it's as delicious as the county king introduced?" At this time, he smiled again, it was only the month of wax. If you want to eat sea sausage, you have to wait at least a while.
"It's a pity. But when the time comes, don't forget to dry the sea intestines and bring some back, so that we can also try them, although the dry goods are not as delicious as fresh, but they are better than nothing. Zhao Yan also felt a little regretful when he thought of the deliciousness of sea intestines. But he quickly smiled and told the air again.
"Oh. Can sea intestines be made into dry goods? Sakata said with some surprise when he heard this.
"Of course. Many things in the sea can be made into dry goods, such as sea sausages, sea cucumbers, seaweed, and so on. When Zhao Yan said this, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the hairy shrimp behind Lao Liu, who was loading it into a bamboo basket. In addition, this kind of small hairy shrimp seems to be useless, but it can also be cooked and dried, and put it in when stir-frying and boiling soup, which is a very good condiment. ”
"Sea intestines, hairy shrimp, these two things are the same as seaweed, they were not eaten at all before, but the king of the county can turn waste into treasure, if these two things can also be promoted, wouldn't it be the same as seaweed, can benefit the people?" Hearing this, he couldn't help but muttered to himself in some surprise.
"Haha, you're right, I wanted to tell the fisherman just now about the method of making shrimp into shrimp skin, so that they can have one more way to make a living, but since you're going to stay here for a few months, why don't you do it?" Zhao Yan also laughed when he heard this, although Likong is a monk, he did a very successful job in promoting seaweed last time, and the influence of Buddhism is also very large, with him doing this, he must be more experienced than others.
"I wanted to come to Shandong to taste the food, but I didn't expect to be told such a drudgery by the king of the county, but it can benefit the people, and the little monk can only take this matter." I saw Sora at this time and said with a wry smile, although it is best to leave this kind of thing to the government, but it is very troublesome for the government to do this kind of thing, and it is also a question of whether the local government is doing its best, so it is better to leave it to Sora to do.
"Those who are able to work harder, and this is also a kind of practice for you, maybe the local people will build temples for you to worship, and you can become a Buddha and become a saint in the future, don't forget to bring us mortals with you." Zhao Yan joked in the end, but after listening to it, he also smiled helplessly, among the people he knew, only Zhao Yan would joke about the gods and Buddhas so unscrupulously, and it is estimated that he will not have any respect for the gods and Buddhas in his heart.
Zhao Yan chatted with the empty for a few words, and then asked him to go back to talk in detail, and the empty did not refuse, so he and Zhao Yan came to the post house in Dengzhou City, when Zhao Yan came back to see the air, he was also very surprised, and immediately let people set up a banquet to entertain, Zhao Yan also specially invited a few officials in Dengzhou, so that they cooperated with the air to make use of the two kinds of seafood such as sea intestines and hairy shrimp, for the benefit of local fishermen, for this kind of good thing, the local officials no matter what they thought in their hearts, but at least on the surface they expressed their willingness to fully cooperate.
After the banquet, Zhao Yan returned to the room to rest, but at this time, Yelusi suddenly spoke: "Husband, who is that empty monk, and why can you and your eldest brother be courteous?" ”
"Hehe, this Likong is not simple, he is one of the most famous monks in our Great Song Dynasty......" Zhao Yan said, and introduced the identity of the empty, especially the fact that the empty saved the life of Princess Bao'an.
However, after listening to the introduction of Sora, Yelusi frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect this Sora to be so young and so good, but I always felt that he was a little strange." ”
"Strange? What's weird? Zhao Yan also asked in surprise when he heard this.
"I don't know, when I met him on the beach today, although he kept chatting with my husband, he looked at me a few times intentionally or unintentionally, and I always felt as if he recognized me?" Jerus spoke at this point, but in the end she was not sure.
"How is this possible, he has never been to Liao, and even if he goes to Liao, how can he know you?" Zhao Yan said a little funny when he heard this, he thought that Yelusi was suspicious, after all, it was not surprising, pregnant women sometimes do have some strange expressions.
"I also know that it is impossible, I usually live in the palace, and I rarely see people outside, a talented monk like Aokong, if I see it, I will definitely remember it, but I don't have any impression of him, so I can conclude that I definitely haven't seen him, but before I obviously felt that he seemed to recognize me." Jeruth also had some incomprehensible ways.
"Okay, Likong is an outsider, it doesn't matter if you deny it or not, so Si'er, don't think about it, we're going to be on our way tomorrow, so let's rest early!" Zhao Yan finally opened his mouth to persuade him, and Yelusi had to nod when he heard this, and put aside the doubts in his heart for the time being.
The next morning, Zhao Yan and their convoy were also prepared early, and after Zhao Yan and Zhao Ji and others got into the carriage, they immediately began to set off, first going southwest around Bohai Bay to reach Qingzhou, and then Shui 6 alternately advancing towards Kaifeng.
In the county king's mansion in Kaifeng City, because of Xue Ning'er's production, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang, who had moved back to the harem, moved back again, Princess Bao'an still lived in her original courtyard, this courtyard has been kept for her, and the layout inside has not changed at all, Princess Bao'an usually spends most of her time in this courtyard except for going to see Xue Ning'er's mother and daughter.
In the afternoon, it was Princess Bao'an's nap time, and the whole courtyard was very quiet, but soon a maid hurriedly ran over, breaking the peace in the courtyard. This maid is Princess Bao'an's personal maid, ran all the way into Princess Bao'an's bedroom, gently woke up Princess Bao'an who was sleeping and said, "Princess, a letter is coming!" ”
Although Princess Bao'an had just woken up, as soon as she heard the maid's words, she immediately sat up from the bed, and then saw the maid take out a small bamboo tube from her arms, and then pulled out a long note from it, and when Princess Bao'an saw the familiar handwriting on it, she immediately showed a smile, but then the content of the letter surprised her even more, and couldn't help shouting: "Quick...... Hurry up and inform the third sister and Ying'er, the third brother is finally coming back. (To be continued!)
ps: The difference in this chapter is less than three thousand words, it's really because my daughter is burning again, and Lao Yu is going to the hospital, so I can only go up in advance, I hope you can understand.
