Chapter 147: Ginseng
As soon as he said this, how could the merchants agree?
So the old god Zhu Feng was saying: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then I can only ask my master to talk to you." ”
When everyone heard that his master was the lord of Showa County.
That face, colorful, not to mention not good-looking.
In addition, Zhu Feng seemed to be unintentionally muttering, "I don't know what the son and grandson of your family look like?" ”
When Min Yan came to rob Imperial Doctor Guo's youngest son, it was a sensation in the city.
No one would think that their children and grandchildren were ugly, even the fat-headed and big-eared Master Gu generously sold Zhu Feng's 2,000 catties of mung beans at half price.
Mung beans are not a staple food, but large families make more pastries, and it is quite a lot for Master Gu to have two thousand catties to take out.
At a meeting, Zhu Feng bought 30,000 catties of mung beans at half price.
30,000 catties of mung beans seems to be a lot, but if you really want to supply the people of the capital, it is far from enough, and the rest still needs to be thought of.
The mung beans were there, and the herbal tea shed was built in less than two days, so the people of the capital rarely found a trace of coolness in this hot summer season.
One day, I can't wait to drink ten bowls, and everyone says that those who build this pergola are simply Bodhisattvas descending to earth.
When they knew that this herbal tea shed was built by the county lord of Showa, and the mung beans were made by the lords of the grain stores and the county lords, they were shocked and almost fell off.
I've never heard that the lord of Showa County is bullying and arrogant, when would he do such a good thing.
It's just that the workers in the tea shed say so, so they can't help but believe it.
……
Wu Yushi was dressed in civilian clothes, sweating and walking on the street, the hot sun was scorching the earth, I wanted to steam him dry, and even the soles of his feet on the blue brick ground felt hot for a while.
Wu Yushi wiped the sweat on his head, only to feel that the air he inhaled was hot, constantly burning his lungs, such a hot day, but his mean mung bean eyes couldn't stop patrolling around.
Don't miss a single suspicious topic.
It's just that it's a hot day, and it's noon, and there was a case of heat death a few days ago, and who doesn't hesitate to go out and walk around until the last resort.
Only a few people occasionally gathered together under the big tree, fanning with a pu fan, and scolding the thief for not giving people a way to live.
Wu Yushi wiped his sweat again, and just wanted to find a cool place to sit, when suddenly the two people in front of him hurriedly ran by, and Wu Yushi saw that they were still holding a jug in their hands.
His mung bean eyes flashed, like a wild cat smelling fish, and immediately ignored the heat, and trotted all the way to chase after it.
Then he saw two cauldrons under a simple pergola, but there was no fire, and everyone was lined up, apparently waiting to fill the contents of the pot.
It was too far away, and Wu Yushi didn't know what was in the pot.
Just as I wanted to get closer to take a look, a man's voice sounded: "Hey, uncle over there, why are you cutting in line?" ”
Wu Yushi didn't feel that people were talking about him at all, and his attention was on the person who was fetching water in front of him.
I saw the pale green water scooped up, and occasionally a few pieces of ice that were about to melt were poured into the jar along with the water.
Wu Yushi was shocked and wanted to make sure, but he just took two steps forward and was suddenly blocked in his way.
"Uncle, what about you, didn't you see that the big guys are queuing?"
The man's face was a little bad, everyone moved forward little by little under the scorching sun, they were already anxious, and if they didn't line up again, how could they not make people angry.
Wu Yushi was stunned, "You mean me?" ”
"Who else is it not you?"
Wu Yushi looked back and found that everyone's eyes were really unkind when they looked at him, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.
The man didn't care so much, he dragged him to the back, Wu Yushi was a literati, and he was dragged away by the man effortlessly.
"Hey, I'm not going to cut in line, I'm just going to see what you guys are lining up to get something."
The man said angrily: "Who is Meng, who doesn't know that there are herbal tea sheds set up all over the capital, and you can receive mung bean ice water every day to relieve the heat." ”
Mung bean ice water, so, it was really not his mistake just now, it was really ice, it's just that on this hot day, ice is not cheap, and money can't buy it.
"Who is so generous to set up such an herbal tea shed."
"Lord Showa, that's a good man......"
"Yes, my wife was hot a few days ago, and she shouted chest tightness all day long, and she didn't even want to eat a bite of rice, since she had this mung bean ice water, she could be considered to be able to eat something......"
"My family too, my daughter-in-law has a body, and now I think about this every day, but the doctor said that I can't drink more......"
Everyone, you say a word to me, and I will always sigh with emotion after speaking, thanks to the county lord and so-and-so master!
Wu Yushi automatically ignored the so-and-so lord in the back, and only listened to the lord of Showa.
Mung Bean's eyes flashed, and at this moment, it was time for him, but he didn't bring anything to hold water, but fortunately there was a big bowl of water for pedestrians to drink in the pergola.
Wu Yushi took one, a bowl of cold mung beans under the water, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on the fire, not to mention how refreshing.
Put it back in the bowl, Wu Yushi hurriedly went back to write the excerpt.
On the second day, Wu Yushi's excerpt was handed to the emperor.
Qi Ling looked at the condensation behind him, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.
At this moment, the little eunuch came, and the lord of Showa asked to see him.
Qi Ling threw down the fold and announced it.
As soon as Min Yan entered the main hall, she shouted: "Oh, this is heaven-breaking, but it is hot to death." ”
As he spoke, he kept wiping his sweat.
The sweat was almost wiped before saluting the emperor.
"Min-yeon has seen the emperor."
"Get up! On such a hot day, how did you enter the palace? ”
"Oh, I don't want to!"
At this moment, the little palace maid served tea, Min Yan took a sip, and immediately exclaimed, "Why is it hot!" ”
The little palace maid knelt on the ground and trembled: "Please ask the county lord to surrender." ”
Min Yan waved her hand and said, "Get up, you go get an ice bowl." ”
The little palace maid got up and wondered, "County Lord, what ice bowl?" ”
Min Yan was surprised: "You don't even know this? It's just to get some crushed ice, pile all kinds of chopped fruits on it, and then drizzle it with milk sauce, no milk sauce, sprinkle some frosting sugar, fast. ”
"Yes, slave and maid will go."
The little palace maid retired, and Minyan shouted again: "Remember to bring a bowl to the imperial uncle." ”
"Yes."
The little palace maid retreated, and Minyan poured a big sip of tea before she had time to return to Qiling.
"Uncle Huang, I came this time to ask for your help."
Qi Ling took a sip of tea, and said with a pleasant face: "Is there anything you can't do by yourself, and you still need to go to the emperor's uncle, besides, isn't there your father?" ”
Min Yan pouted, "Uncle Huang, can we not mention my father?" ”
Qi Ling smiled slightly: "I haven't heard of your conflicts these days, I thought your relationship had eased." ”
Min Yan only sneered, "Uncle Huang, you just say whether you can help or not." ”
