Chapter 62: The Temple

The feast of Dajue Temple is really worthy of its reputation, even if it is Wang Xi who eats all over the north and south, and the people who have their own private recipes at home, they are full of praise for the dish on their table with tofu as the base, adding shiitake mushrooms, radish, and green vegetables to knead into balls, and the burnt vegetarian balls that are fried and poured with juice.

The meatballs are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the juice is sweet and sour, and the taste is particularly open, Wang Xi ate five or six in one go, and said to Feng Gao: "I'll try to do it after I go back, and I will definitely be able to make eight or nine without leaving ten." ”

Feng Gao laughed, remembering that when Wang Xi was a child, the old lady of the Wang family went to someone else's restaurant to try the dishes, and brought Wang Xi, who was not yet on the table, and asked her which dish was delicious and why it was delicious when she returned home.

Now Wang Xi is going to do it again?

He said: "If the owners of those restaurants knew, they would definitely not dare to let you go to their house for dinner." ”

Wang Xi smiled and said, "I want to write a recipe like my grandfather." ”

Both Dr. Feng and Feng Gao were a little surprised.

Wang Xi said: "I found that most of the recipes tell how the dish is made, there is no pattern, and you still can't remember it after reading it." I wanted to write a book where people could cook whatever they wanted. For example, how to make fish flavor, if you know the method, you can make fish-flavored shredded pork, fish-flavored eggplant, fish-flavored tofu, and all dishes with fish-flavored dishes. ”

Doctor Feng's eyes lit up as he listened.

He thought about the examples of medicine he had collected over the years, and muttered, "If this is the case, can it also be used in pharmacology?" What is the difference between phlegm heat and wind heat? What is the difference between wet cold and wind cold? ”

Suddenly everyone started talking about writing a book.

All of a sudden, all those worries and apprehensions before coming were gone.

It makes people look more like people who come to Dajue Temple to play.

The monk led them to the wing room where Chaoyun made incense, and on the way he tactfully instigated them: "There will be more than a month, and it will be June 6." Presumably this old gentleman has also heard that the scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of our Dajue Temple are the most in the capital, and at this time of year we will dry the books in the temple, hold a festival, and give away some scriptures for free. The adults of the six departments in Beijing will come to join in the fun. If you have time, you might as well come and take a look. ”

He also said: "Speaking of the scriptures sent by our temple, there are also allusions. That was before Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, seeing that those poor students were in difficulty in going to school, he felt that instead of sending medicine and porridge like other temples, Dajue Temple should ask those students to help copy the scriptures, and then give them to pilgrims for free. Therefore, the scriptures in our temple can be said to be expensive in Luoyang, and it is difficult to find a book.

"The next time the old gentleman comes, you can buy a few copies and go back, and it will be regarded as doing a good deed."

Dr. Feng's green shirt and thin and elegant, who thinks he is a knowledgeable Confucian, no wonder this knowledgeable monk wants to sell the scriptures in the temple with him.

Wang Xi pursed his lips and smiled, wanting to ask how much this monk's scripture book is.

It won't be too cheap!

Dr. Feng smiled silently.

fell into the eyes of the monk who knew the guest, and his heart was even more bottomless.

It is the second chief manager of Qingyun Mansion who came to make an appointment with Dajue Temple, and this second chief manager has always been in charge of the affairs of the inner courtyard, because he is the companion of the wife of Qingyun Hou Mansion, he has always been a little arrogant, only said that he let Chaoyun wait, and did not say that he was entrusted by Qingyun Hou Mansion and who came.

He also thought at the time that he had been a guest in Dajue Temple for more than 30 years, and even if he didn't know the powerful people in the capital, he was familiar with them, even if the feudal officials who were released outside looked at the clothes and talked about things, he was confident that he would not admit his mistakes.

When he saw Dr. Feng and the others, not only was he born, but also a sixty-year-old man with seven or eight servants, plus a young man in his twenties who didn't know if it was a son or a grandson, and a young girl who had just passed the house but was rich and powerful, and called the housekeeper not like a housekeeper, and the elders were not like the elders, and he still didn't figure out what the relationship between the three was.

was able to talk to the Qingyun Marquis Mansion, and asked the second manager to run away in person...... It can't be a new minister from nowhere, right?

The monk pondered in his heart, and his words and deeds became more respectful.

A few people entered a courtyard while they were talking.

This yard is not big, it is only half an acre of land, three wings of blue bricks and gray tiles, there is a tall magnolia tree in the corner, and all kinds of spices are planted next to it.

It is estimated that more than one person has misunderstood.

When the monk entered the courtyard, he explained with a smile: "Don't underestimate this courtyard, Chaoyun's best lily incense, golden incense, and yaxiang materials are all taken from here......

Feng Gao is naturally a person who knows goods, and as soon as he came in, not only his ears were pricked up, but his eyes were also looking around. Only Dr. Feng looked at the two green and red pepper trees growing side by side by the wall, and his eyes were red.

This is the habit of his master.

He likes to plant two green and red pepper trees in the place where the spices are planted, others think they are used to make incense, but in fact they are just to satisfy his master's appetite.

Although they hadn't met, Dr. Feng had a faint feeling that Chaoyun was probably the person he was looking for.

He couldn't help but shake his hand.

In the wing room where the door of the middle hall was wide open, there was a male voice that made Wang Xi feel familiar.

"In other words, these incense will use agarwood, sandalwood and frankincense!" The man's voice was like a spring water, with a bit of coolness and coldness, "I know agarwood and sandalwood, but isn't this frankincense medicine?" Can it still be made in incense? It's the first time I've heard that frankincense can also be incensed? What does it taste like? ”

He was answered by a man's voice as hoarse as a broken gong. He chuckled: "Frankincense is originally a spice, but after he enters the medicine, it can regulate qi and activate blood, fix pain and chase poison, treat qi and blood coagulation, pain in the heart and abdomen, carbuncle swelling and poison, and it is transmitted from the Western Regions, it is very rare, the price is more than gold, everyone uses it for medicine, and rarely uses it to make incense." ”

The cold voice said, "Do you still have it here?" Show me what it looks like? What does it taste like? ”

A hoarse voice said, "Yes."

Wang Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Is this someone coming before they do?

It can't be someone she knows, right?

If so, who will it be?

She looked at the monk who knew the guest.

Monk Zhike's face was dripping with blood.

With a face full of shame, he hurriedly swung towards Wang Xi to the end, and said, "Old gentleman, stay for the time being, I'll go and see who is in Chaoyun's wing." Don't worry about this matter, our Dajue Temple will definitely give you an explanation. ”

The matter of the appointment has changed the hexagram, which is equivalent to the fact that the person who does business does not keep his word, and this face Dajue Temple can't afford to lose.

The Zhike monk hurriedly entered the wing, and then Wang Xi and the others heard the Zhike monk let out a stunned cry: "Chen, Lord Chen!" No, Second Son Chen. ”

can be called Lord Chen, and can be called the second son of Chen, and the voice is a little familiar, who else is there besides Chen Luo?

But what is Chen Luo doing here?

Is it for the sake of perfumery?

Incense is healing and calming the nerves.

Could it be that Dr. Feng didn't move, and instead started the idea of aromatherapy?

However, I really can't say that this idea is wrong.

Her great-grandfather often couldn't sleep when he was old, and Dr. Feng's soothing incense helped a lot.

Wang Xi took two steps towards Dr. Feng's side and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's for that person's illness again!" ”

Doctor Feng frowned.

He is old, that is, the senior brother who trembles with anger when he thinks about it, and now he is still looking for it, in addition to habits, there are also obsessions. He just wants to live a stable life for a few years, compile the medical records he has experienced into a book, and leave some experience worth learning for future generations.

He really didn't want to get involved.

Dr. Feng pondered the possibility of coming back another day.

Wang Xi thought of the sideburns that Chen Luo gave her back on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and felt that it might be a good thing to meet Chen Luo.

She whispered to Dr. Feng, "What should we do or what should we do?" I lost this opportunity, I don't know when I will have such a chance again! ”

Dr. Feng also felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and it was impossible to wait any longer.

The voice that answered was not his brother's voice, with his experience in practicing medicine for so many years, it is impossible for a normal person to be such a voice, either he is sick and his throat is broken, or he is deliberate, smoked or damaged by medicine.

"Let's go in and have a look!" Dr. Feng made up his mind, and he became resolute and resolute.

He lifted his feet and walked towards the wing.

Muttering in a low voice in the wing, I don't know what to say, Wang Xi walked a few steps just when he touched the monk Zhike who led them and walked out of the wing.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He hugged his fists to salute Wang Xi and the others to make amends, and said in a loud voice, "Teng Xiang Zuowei commanded Lord Chen to suddenly come to Dajue Temple to pay homage to incense, and unintentionally walked here, and saw Chaoyun taking care of these spices here, he was very curious, so he came in to take a look." ”

As he spoke, he immediately lowered his voice and whispered with a warning accent: "He is the son of the eldest princess of Baoqing, the second son of the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

The implication is that they and Wang Xi who is playing the signboard of Qingyun Houfu can't afford to offend this person, don't complain, it's best to admit it.

Then he said loudly: "It's rare for everyone to meet together, and if you meet, it's fate, since the old gentleman came to ask for advice on perfumery, he must be very familiar with spices." According to Master Chaoyun, there are more than 300 kinds of spices planted in this courtyard, and spices for fragrance can be found here. Today's weather is good, I'll go make a good cup for the old gentleman before the rain, the old gentleman and your ......"

He didn't know what to call Feng Gao and Wang Xi for a while, paused, and said with a smile, "Childe and Miss are resting here." After speaking, thinking that Wang Xi was not young, he also discussed with Dr. Feng, "Why don't I accompany Miss to the ginkgo forest next to me?" There are more than 1,000 hundred-year-old ginkgo trees there, and although they are not as bright as gold leaf in autumn, they are also interesting at this time. ”

Doctor Feng didn't expect that the person who came first was Chen Luo, and he was stunned and didn't want Wang Xi and Chen Luo to meet, he nodded when he heard the words, and was about to explain a few words to Wang Xi, but Chen Luo didn't know when he had stood in front of the steps of the wing, and shouted "Doctor Feng" with a smile, and said, "Long time no see, are you okay recently?" ”
