"As long as there is wine to drink, it doesn't matter if the Star Picking Tower and the Datang Club" Xiao Songshang is very face-saving, and he has no excuse to feast and drink with a merchant.

"Then let's go" Dugu Xinci led the way, and arranged for someone to inform General Yang Tong and Empress Nalan and a group of little ladies to go to the Tang Club for a banquet.

In the second year of Kaiyuan, the two deputy envoys of the martial arts went to the top comfort nest in Chang'an to feast and drink, but the nearly 100 martial artists who participated in the selection today only ate the food provided by Kuixing Pavilion in the shacks around the test room.

The food is sponsored by the Shengdaofang Braised Cooking Shop, and the greasy and thick braised pork is very suitable for most of the martial arts, most of these martial arts also come to Beijing for many days, but they are used to some affairs in the Tang Dynasty Kyoto, such as the free accommodation and meals provided during this martial arts period, each person has a fixed number, and there is a daily need to report to the head of the teaching group in their own group, and each accommodation is guarded by the hairpin of Jinwuwei Wuhou or Lijingmen.

Although the martial arts are used to being free on weekdays, they can endure the free food and the rich income after entering the ranks, and they can't bear it.

There is a shed next to the ring in the first battle of the first word, and there are wooden plank walls on three sides, and there are also wooden benches and strips in the shed for martial arts to rest and eat.

Guo Xiaotang, who is numbered No. 1, is very satisfied with these resettlement conditions of Jinke Wuju.

Guo Xiaotang lived in Chang'an, his ancestors were also meritorious ministers of the Yan and Tang Dynasties, and there were people in the clan who had served as the commander of Zhichong, but a hundred years have passed, and in his generation, not only has the people withered to only one of his men, but Guo Xiaotang is just a martial artist in Yongchongfang.

Guo Xiaotang's home Yongchongfang, with Wu Yuandai Wu Qilang, has an ancestral house, to be able to shelter from the wind and rain, when he was young, he was a ranger, and he danced with a group of street boys every day to get guns, at that time, his father was still Zuo Xiaowei, but later his father died in Goryeo, the pillars of the family collapsed, and there was only an old mother and young sister left in the family.

When the old mother heard the bad news of her husband, she fell seriously ill, and her meager pension money was spent, and after she recovered from her illness, she only had to work as a cook in the house of a waiter in the fang, so she could barely raise her young children.

Although Guo Xiaotang was open-minded by nature, he also mourned for a while, and when he was thirteen years old, he begged his neighbor Yiwu Hou Jingjie to let him be the Wuhou of Fang Street.

The neighbor saw that his family was desolate and agreed, this did for five years, because of his bold nature, although the family is quite embarrassed, but every day he is happy, and he also has a chivalrous heart in his heart, during which he took in a veteran with a broken arm who claimed to be his father, and learned a lot of martial arts from him.

Colleagues do not despise because of their young age, and in a few years, they also mixed into the Wuhou shop in Yongchongfang, but one day last year, the official carriage of visitors to Yongchongfang disturbed pedestrians, Guo Xiaotang in order to save the children in the workshop, the knife slashed the horse, which was a righteous and brave act, but the court official did not forgive, and ordered Pei Yaoqing, the county commander of Wannian County at that time, to dismiss him.

Last year, Guo Xiaotang's younger sister got married, and took the old mother who was a cook back home, and the neighbors also took their relatives again.

Guo Xiaotang relied on his strength, every day to the East Market to load and unload goods for the merchants, and struggled to maintain food and clothing, until the first day of this year, Dugu Xin Ciming Mansion took office, and recruited Wuhou to arrest in the second year of the junior high school.

On the third and fourth days of the first month, a group of newly recruited Wuhou went to various wealthy families to issue reminder notices, and Dugu Mingfu made a big fuss in the Auxiliary General's Mansion, which relieved a group of Wuhou, and Guo Xiaotang also admired the Ming Mansion that was one year younger than him.

Dugu Mingfu means well, and he is also generous to his subordinates, Guo Xiaotang is the old Wuhou of Chang'an, and there are many tribulations, and he acts steadily, and he was soon appointed as the chief of Wuhou of Wannian County.

In March, Dugu Mingfu took over the martial arts, and some colleagues asked him to sign up for the exam.

Wang Yong, the county lieutenant who ruled Wuhou, had the heart to promote him, and also went to Dugu Mingfu to mutter, Dugu Mingfu also let him demonstrate a few martial arts, and then made a decision to let him be the first person to sign up for this martial arts, and laughed that Wannian County, the first county in the world, is suitable for martial arts with the first number plate of martial arts, let him try his best to prepare for the war, during the period of Yu Lu will not be less, and strive to qualify for the finals, if you can go to the finals without mentioning the court reward, Wannian County will reward 100 times, and he will also reward 100 times privately.

He is not the only one, more than 50 martial arts in Wannian County have been told that the reward for the group selection is five times, and after entering the first place, they will be rewarded with 50 times, and they will enter the finals for 100 times, of course, no one wants to enter the top eight.

Dugu Mingfu also asked everyone with a smile, who can get that little sword god Yang Qiu to Wannian County, and he will reward Baiguan on the spot.

The Sword God Mansion is in Chang'an County, and the little Sword God will not set up another door for a martial art, which naturally becomes a joke among the martial artists, but it is unanimously agreed that the farthest that Wannian County can go is only him Guo Xiaotang.

Although Dugu Mingfu and Wang Yong County Lieutenant allowed him to go home to practice martial arts behind closed doors, Guo Xiaotang still conscientiously inspected the upper duty every day, because there were many political affairs in Wannian County this year, the previous Shangyuan Rideng City, the later Martyrs' Shrine Festival, as well as the repair of Caoqu, the repair of Furong Chicao City, and the layout of the martial arts test site.

Some time ago, when I met Dugu Ming Mansion, I was laughed at and said that I didn't pick up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon, Ruyi Wuhou was on duty every day, diligent and diligent for the people, he was dignified and Ming Mansion fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and he was not ashamed to die of this county order?

Guo Xiaotang also smiled and said with a smile, those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people, and the Ming Mansion is on duty every day to finish things, and these subordinate officials are not allowed to be on duty?

Dugu Mingfu praised him for listening to what he said, and when he was rewarded, let him go to the Star Picking Tower to take two jars of burning knives and go back to drink, but Guo Xiaotang shook his head and said that he could reward him in a different way, his wife had a bad cough at night, and he heard that the Marquis of Far East had cured the queen mother with soft-shelled turtle soup, but he also tried it with soft-shelled turtle soup, and the effect was not obvious, I don't know if Mingfu has a good prescription?

Dugu Mingfu said that the night cough is divided into wind and cold cough and drink wind and heat cough, and the prescriptions of the two must be different, so let him bring his wife to the county party the next morning and check the pulse before it can be determined.

On the second day, Dugu Mingfu, who rarely went to the county party in a row, really kept his word, and after checking the pulse of his wife, he took two injections and prescribed side medicine, and asked the aunt of the Guo family to go back and drink it for seven or eight days, and said that there were a few prescriptions to temporarily relieve cough symptoms, such as containing ginger slices, drinking honey, and eating roasted oranges.

Sure enough, that night, the aunt of the Guo family had a lot of night cough, and the two pairs of medicines were completely cured after drinking for seven or eight days, and the aunt of the Guo family was relaxed, and asked her to give the few wild soft-shelled turtles left in the family to Dugu Mingfu to thank him, Dugu Mingfu likes wild ingredients, and Chang'an knows it.

"Son, you not only want to thank Dugu Mingfu for curing a certain disease, but also learn from Dugu Mingfu's meticulous life, this Dugu Mingfu must know that the disease is like a trace of truth, so not only gave a prescription for the root cause, but also gave a good prescription for curing the root cause and relieving the symptoms, so that a certain can also relieve the severe pain of night cough during this period of drinking medicine, not simple."

But Guo Xiaotang saw Dugu Mingfu again after a few days, and when he saw that Guo Xiaotang still remembered the condition of the aunt of the Guo family, he smiled and asked if it was alleviated.

Guo Xiaotang was naturally grateful, Dugu Mingfu didn't care, Wang Yong County Lieutenant also said that the soft-shelled turtle that Guo Xiaotang brought to the county party was still raised in the backyard of the county party, saying that Dugu Mingfu could be taken away at any time.

Dugu Mingfu did not push it, and asked him to get more pears to boil rock sugar water for the Guo family aunt to drink, and said with a smile, if the Guo family aunt stayed at home and was bored, you can also boil more of this sugar water to sell on the street, rock sugar pear water moistens the throat, moistens the lungs, dispels phlegm and relieves cough, and adds wolfberry Chuanbei and other medicinal materials, which are delicious and good-looking.

After counting four or five soft-shelled turtles weighing three or four catties, he smiled and said that he couldn't eat the soft-shelled turtles you caught for the aunt of the Guo family in vain, and then sent a few soup recipes to you, so that the Ru family could open a soup shop.

Needless to say, the mung bean paste in summer, lotus seed lily red bean paste, lily white fungus soup, papaya white fungus soup, these all have the function of dissipating cough.

"Of course, these sugar water has some effects, it is a little effect on mild patients, and it has little effect on aging disease, but this is also a name, you can also say that it has the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the skin, invigorating qi and invigorating blood, moistening the lungs and relieving cough, nourishing blood and moistening the intestines, replenishing deficiency and invigorating qi, nourishing the heart and calming the nerves, etc., you can go back and look at it, if you want to add soup varieties, you can go to find Langzhong and ask, read more medical books, and then look for a certain of course, two five-pound old soft-shelled turtles for a sugar water recipe" Dugu Mingfu obviously said jokes, The recipe in Yan Tanglang is rarely passed on to outsiders, and two soft-shelled turtles can change the recipe, and the pond in the palace of Liaoyang County is afraid that it will be full of soft-shelled turtles.

Dugu Mingfu ordered the guard Da Xiong to carry the old turtle and leave the county party again, even if it was not the time to arrive, everyone was not surprised.

As soon as she went home that night and told her about it, the aunt of the Guo family nodded that it was feasible, and said that these soups needed to have an effect on people in order to publicize their functions, and this matter could not be done in the name of Dugu Mingfu at the beginning.

Guo Xiaotang knows that Dugu Ming Mansion can catch money, Wang Wulang's boiled boil of Shengdao Fang is spread all over Chang'an, and the shopkeeper of Qinglong Fang is rich because of the rice balls made by Dugu Ming Mansion on the first day, and other fireworks are also created by Far Eastern Hou, and now this soup shop must be the same as a profitable livelihood.

Recently, Guo Xiaotang has participated in all the major events in Wannian County, such as the Shangyuan Festival for a few days and did not go home, the Qingming Heroic Shrine Festival is also watching day and night, and the Li City of Furong Chicao City has two runs, which was given by Zuo Xuande, Guo Xiaotang went to ask Wang Yong County Lieutenant, Wang Yong County Lieutenant scratched his head, and then asked Dugu Ming Mansion, but was scolded by Dugu Ming Mansion, scolded and scolded the money sent to the door is not too stupid? You just don't eat and drink from the citizens, this kind of public money can be generously collected, and if something happens, ask him to carry it from the Far East.

Therefore, although Guo Xiaotang has only been on the market for four months, the income is equivalent to the previous five years, and it is naturally simple to rent a shop.

The eldest lady of the Guo family is very interested, and she has stayed in the Shilang Mansion for a few years, and she is far beyond the ordinary women in the market, and the soup is only sold for one article and one bowl, and the soup shop is in a downturn for a few days to open the situation, and the soup recipe of Dugu Ming Mansion is really functional, and several old customers have said that some old problems such as cough and toothache have been reduced a lot, and a month later to now, Guo Ji soup shop can be said to be famous in Nancheng.

In this Wuju test auction shop, Guo Damiang and Guo Xiaotang combined, gritted their teeth and spent a hundred times on a shop auctioned in Zhaoguofang, specializing in soup.

A shop in Anshanfang costs 2,000 yuan, although it is four years but there is no money to shoot, Zhaoguofang and Yongxingfang have the same teaching field and two rings, and this teaching field is still the right Xiaowei where Guo Xiaotang's father is located, although it has been seven or eight years, but there are still some nostalgic soldiers who still remember the Guo family, not to mention taking care of it at least will not make it difficult.

I wonder how the soup is sold over there? Guo Xiaotang finished a bowl of rice and wanted to take a look.

Sitting on the edge of Guo Xiaotang is No. 2, a bald man, more than nine feet tall, called Mao Gou'er, a ranger, from Chang'an County, a little demented, and at this moment he shouted "Dalu, where are you going?" ”

"I went to Zhaoguofang to see the old lady"

"Then so-and-so went to play"

Yes, the two know each other, both are Chang'an people, a Wuhou and a ranger, if it is not good, it is an official and a thief, walking in the street all the year round, and there are naturally many dealings, the hairy dog is an old Chang'an person in the northwest of the city, his parents died since he was a child, and he was followed by a group of rangers, tall and powerful, and was later taken in by a ranger called Quan Liangshan, looking for an old Taoist taught a few fists and feet gun stick martial arts, nothing else learned, a big hammer dance is a stormless, the street is called Xiao Zhuhai, Zhu Hai was the butcher who followed Xinlingjun during the Warring States Period.

Since it is a ranger, street fights are commonplace, and Wuhou is the opposite, Chang'an rangers can not be divided into Chang'an County Wannian County before, Wuhou in the two counties rarely can catch the hairy dog, Guo Xiaotang is a person who can restrain the hairy dog, the two have often staged the drama of officers and soldiers catching thieves since they were fourteen or fifteen years old, at first the hairy dog escaped seven or eight times out of ten, and then it was seven or eight times out of ten that Guo Xiaotang was caught in Wannian County.

These rangers are frequent visitors to the county party in the two counties, and it is not a big deal to fight undead people privately, and they have to take care of food when they are caught in the county prison, which means that they will be taken away after a day or two, and they have dealt with each other many times, and the two are familiar with each other as neighbors, the hairy dog is demented, Guo Xiaotang is open-minded, even if the hairy dog is caught in the county prison, he often brings some food with him, and usually meets on the street as long as the two are not criminals, they are like brothers.

It just so happened that the two of them actually participated in the martial arts at the same time, and they were also divided into the same group, one No. 1 and one No. 2, and there is a principle in the martial arts group this year that people from the same state and county try not to be divided into the same group, and they are one Chang'an for ten thousand years, one is the first county in the world, and one is the second county in the world, and it is normal to be divided into the same group.

After the two got acquainted, Guo Xiaotang sometimes took the hairy dog to his home to have fun, and he was also familiar with his wife, and at this moment, he nodded casually when he saw that he wanted to go with him.

"A certain went to talk to the team leader," Guo Xiaotang went to ask the team leader for leave.

The leader of their group's teaching team is called Yu Chi Baoqi, the son of the old military captain Chi family, and also the Guoyi Lieutenant in the Sixteen Guards, and this Wuhou Ranger is actually familiar with it, Yu Chi Baoqi took a look at the people in the group this morning, and knew that with the martial arts of the two people, there is no problem in qualifying, at this time, there is still an hour of rest and leisure before the afternoon re-competition, and I also know that this Guo Xiaotang is the Wuhou Chang of Wannian County, and the subordinate of Dugu Xinci of the Ming Mansion of Wannian County in the Far East. I told you not to be late for the competition in the afternoon, so I didn't care.

Guo Xiaotang nodded in agreement, and took the hairy dog to Zhaoguofang.

There are 3,000 small halls and 12 green buildings. The treasure cover carved saddle is a golden horse, and the blue window embroidered pillar jade pan dragon.
