Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Origin of the Rock Sugar Gourd

"The history of rock sugar gourd can be described as long.

According to legend, it originated in the Southern Song Dynasty about 800 years ago.

Shaoxi was the name of the reign of Song Guangzong and Zhao Dan.

During the Shaoxi period, Zhao Dan's favorite Huang Guifei was sick, her face was yellow and thin, and she didn't think about tea and dinner.

Many of the royal medicines were ineffective.

When the emperor saw that his concubine was haggard, he asked for medical treatment.

Yijiang and Lakes Langzhong unveiled the list and entered the palace, and after diagnosing Huang Guifei's pulse, he said that as long as he boiled it with rock sugar and red fruits, he ate five to ten pieces before each meal, and he would be cured within half a month.

The emperor will be suspicious, but there is no other way to treat the concubine's illness, so he will take it according to this method.

Half a month later, the concubine recovered as scheduled.

Later, this method of boiling red fruits with rock sugar spread to the people, and the common people skewered it up and sold it, and it became a rock sugar gourd. ”

Zhao Huanhuan's unhurried tone, and his crisp and pleasant voice came slowly, and Huo Taipei could listen attentively.

was about to praise Zhao Huanhuan for being well-informed, when he suddenly heard Yang Yi sneer: "Teacher Huo asked about the origin of the rock sugar gourd, but what did you say about the red fruit, what does this have to do with the rock sugar gourd?" ”

Zhao Huanhuan asked: "Then Yang Yi, what do you think the rock sugar gourd should have to do with it?" It can't be a gourd boiled with rock sugar, right? ”

Huo Taipei couldn't help but laugh.

No matter how handsome the teacher looks, the laughter is obviously mocking.

Yang Yi held back his anger and said, "How can I be so stupid? Rock sugar gourd, this gourd is talking about the shape, you look at its long string, not like the gourd, what does it look like? ”

Yang Yi rolled his eyes as he spoke.

"Oh, I thought you must think that the rock sugar gourd must be a rock sugar gourd!"

"Even if rock sugar is not boiled gourd, it is impossible to boil red fruit! It's hawthorn! ”

Huo Taipei's laughter couldn't help laughing even more, and Yang Yitie's face turned blue with a straight smile.

Zhao Huanhuan was calm.

Huo Taipei finally put away his smile and said, "Yang Yi, the red fruit is hawthorn!" ”

At this moment, Yang Yi's face became even darker.

Along the way, Yang Yi was so angry that he refused to open his mouth to speak again, Huo Taipei and Zhao Huanhuan were not disturbed, and they talked very happily with each other.

"Huanhuan, I really didn't expect you to know such a rare historical story, I, the history teacher, will be willing to bow down."

Huo Taipei's praise, Zhao Huanhuan was noncommittal, but said modestly: "Teacher Huo said that he laughed, the historical knowledge taught by Teacher Huo is the test point, which has a great effect on the examination and promotion, what I know is just a legend, and it will not be tested on the exam paper." ”

"Huanhuan, you are wrong, this legend has been passed down for a hundred years, and it must be well documented."

Zhao Huanhuan was silent, not arguing with Huo Taipei, if he wanted to praise her, let him praise her.

Praising her can make Yang Yi angry, of course she can't stop it.

Huo Taipei said: "Because of the rock sugar gourd, I once thought that hawthorn was a fruit, but I didn't expect it to be able to cure diseases." ”

Zhao Huanhuan nodded, "Hawthorn has many medicinal effects, it can eliminate food accumulation, disperse blood congestion, drive tapeworms, stop dysentery, and especially help digestion."

The reason why the Jianghu Langzhong was able to cure the imperial concubine's illness was probably because the hawthorn prescription he prescribed was right for the imperial concubine's illness.

Regarding the medicinal value of hawthorn, Li Shizhen said, "Cook the hard meat of old chicken, and it is easy to rot when you put a few hawthorns, so it will eliminate the accumulated work, and the cover can be pushed." ”

After Zhao Huanhuan finished talking about historical allusions, he actually talked about medical knowledge again, which shocked Huo Taipei.

"I thought Huanhuan was a dead reader, but I didn't expect to read a lot of extracurricular books."

Huo Taipei praised Zhao Huanhuan again, but Yang Yi was not convinced.

"Li Shizhen, I also know that I have read the "Compendium of Materia Medica" written by him." As soon as Yang finished speaking, her heart was empty, but the pleasure brought by bragging overcame her weakness.

Zhao Huanhuan looked up at the sky and did not comment.

Huo Taipei directly poked: "How is it possible? ”

Yang Yixin felt like he had been inserted with a knife again.

Yang Yi, who was frustrated all the way, did not question but completely deny Huo Taipei's gaze, and ignited his fighting spirit.

"I also know that Song Guangzong Zhao Dun is a Ming Jun." When Yang Yi said this, he took out the tone of the speech.

"Ming Jun, I can't talk about it, Zhao Dian only succeeded to the throne at the age of forty-three, lived in the deep palace for a long time, did not reach the world's affairs, and his hair was gray when he ascended the throne. A courtier offered He Shou Wu and said that he could turn his hair black after taking it, but he refused to take it because he thought that his hair was white, so that the world could know that he was an old man, and that he could be trusted as an emperor.

And what about the actual situation?

He was swayed by his own queen and dismissed Zhou Bida, Xin Qiji and other ministers of the main war faction, and the government was manipulated by the ministers of the main peace faction.

He also had a long-term discordant relationship with the Emperor, and after the death of the Emperor, he did not go to mourn, so that the funeral could not be carried out.

In the end, he was forced to abdicate, and when he became the empress, he often recalled the events of his reign, either cursing to himself or crying bitterly......"

When Zhao Huanhuan was familiar with Zhao Dan's deeds, Yang Yi was in a hurry.

In Zhao Huanhuan's tirade, she only knew Xin Qiji.

Seeing that Huo Taipei was about to open his mouth to praise Zhao Huanhuan again, Yang Yi was anxious and blurted out: "What's so good about the main battle faction?" What's so bad about the Lord and the pie? The world is all messed up by the main battle faction, right? It is the Lord and the faction that make the world peaceful, and there is nothing left. ”

This time, Huo Tai looked at Yang Yi and said, "Yang Yi, who do you think is good and who is bad?" ”

"Of course it's Qin Hui." This Yang Yi is sure that he didn't choose the wrong answer, and the three-year-old child knows that Qin Hui is a sinner through the ages, and Yue Fei is a national hero.

Huo Taipei said meaningfully: "Yue Fei is the main battle faction, and Qin Hui is the main peace faction. ”

Yang Yi was stunned, she was a student with good academic performance, how could she not think of it?

Huo Taipei's words had already woken her up.

And Zhao Huanhuan just wanted to say it with hatred.

I saw Zhao Huanhuan showing a well-behaved and sweet smile at Huo Taipei, and said: "If when a country is invaded from other places, the emperor reuses the main peace faction and fights the main battle faction, resulting in no one in the imperial court being willing to lead the troops to fight, but can only cede land and pay compensation, and lose the dignity of the country, such an emperor is tantamount to a faint monarch, right?" Mr. Huo. ”

"That's right," Huo Taipei said and looked at Yang Yi, "Yang Yi, I think you not only have to learn how to speak from Huanhuan, but also learn from Huanhuan about her historical insights." ”

Yang Yi: "......" is so much stabbed in the heart!

"Teacher, in fact, I have already rehearsed at the People's Theater at the beginning, so I don't need to be in such a hurry to practice, my voice will be hoarse if I use it too much, which will affect tomorrow's game."

After listening to Zhao Huanhuan's words, Huo Taipei nodded: "What Huanhuan said makes sense, so what can we do today?" ”

"Why don't we make a sugar gourd?" Zhao Huanhuan proposed.

Huo Taipei immediately agreed: "Eh, that's good." ”

"Sister Yuanyuan will definitely be happy to join." Zhao Huanhuan said crisply.

Yang Yi was unhappy again: "Where did the fresh hawthorn come from?" ”

Taoli City is rich in peaches, grapefruits, plums, bayberry and other fruits, but no one grows hawthorn.

Of course Zhao Huanhuan knows, otherwise it would be impossible for the woman who sold hawthorn to do business across provinces, and she could do it for decades, which shows that selling hawthorn is a profitable business.

As for why it is profitable, it is naturally because no one makes hawthorn in Taoli City.

As for why no one makes hawthorn, a big reason is that there is no place for fresh hawthorn fruit.

This time, Huo Taipei recognized the question raised by Yang Yi: "Yes, Huanhuan, there is no hawthorn." ”

"Li Dai Tao stiff!" Zhao Huanhuan smiled mysteriously.
