Chapter 10 Fantasy about wine
Early in the morning, when Lu Xiang'er opened her eyes, Lu Erniang had already gone to the county. And Lu Hong sat in the room while reviewing his homework and looked at Lu Xiang'er. When he saw that his sister was awake, he hurried over and dressed her, and then went to the kitchen to heat the meal.
After breakfast, Lu Xiang'er sat under the locust tree in the courtyard and waited for Zhao Xiu to come to her to pick mushrooms. But Lu Hong was holding a long wooden stick and playing in the yard. Because Uncle Zhao's family depends on him for hunting, he must often go up the mountain. Therefore, Lu Hong practiced on his own most of the time. When he encounters something he doesn't understand, Uncle Zhao will give him guidance. is also because of Uncle Zhao's way of education, Lu Hong's progress is very fast. Even Uncle Zhao himself often said that at Lu Hong's age, he was not as good as Lu Hong, and Lu Hong was born to practice martial arts.
Although Lu Xiang'er didn't understand martial arts, she saw Lu Hong's serious face, and she really had a bit of momentum. Looking at the stick in his hand, it was very flexible, and every time it crossed in front of Lu Xiang'er, it would carry a strong air current, making some of Lu Xiang'er's scattered hair float up. It can be seen that Lu Hong really has to learn some skills.
After practicing a set of stick techniques, Lu Hong sweated slightly, but he also felt that his whole body was a lot smoother. Since he practiced martial arts, if he didn't practice for a while a day, he would feel uncomfortable all over his body. found that he liked to practice martial arts very much, and Lu Hong was a little more confused about the future. However, Lu Hong has not yet recognized his true thoughts, so he has no plans to tell Lu Erniang about these confusions for the time being.
Taking the wet hand towel that Lu Xiang'er handed to him, Lu Hong looked at the sky and said very strangely: "It's almost dawn, why hasn't Xiu'er come to you yet." Is it because you're too young that people don't want to take you there? ”
"Not really. Maybe Sister Xiu'er has something else to do and won't go mushroom picking. Although Lu Xiang'er was also a little strange, Zhao Xiu didn't come to find her, but she didn't believe what Lu Hong said. However, she was also tired yesterday, and Lu Xianger felt that her whole body was still a little uncomfortable. If it weren't for the bunches of fruits, Lu Xianger wouldn't want to go out today.
However, thinking of the bunches of fruits, Lu Xiang'er thought about asking Lu Hong. Seeing that Lu Hong was chopping firewood, Lu Xiang'er asked, "Brother, when I went to mushrooms yesterday, I saw strings of purple ...... on the mountain."
"Have you eaten it?" Before Lu Xiang'er finished speaking, Lu Hong had already thrown down the axe and rushed to her, staring at her anxiously.
Lu Xiang didn't know why Lu Hong had such an expression, she was very puzzled, but she still shook her head and said, "Brother, I didn't eat, what are you anxious about?" ”
"It's good if you don't eat it, it's good if you don't eat it." Lu Hong let out a long breath, pulled Lu Xiang'er to sit down, and said very seriously: "Xiang'er, my brother told you." The grapes are beautiful, but they are poisonous, and you must not eat them, I heard that there was no ......."
"Toxic? Brother, you say grapes are poisonous? "Lu Xiang'er has lived for two lifetimes, and it is the first time she has heard the news that grapes are poisonous. If Lu Xiang'er was drinking water at this time, she would definitely squirt out.
Lu Hong glanced at Lu Xiang'er and said, "You don't believe it? Tell you that you are still young and don't know a lot of things. My brother said to you, "The grapes ......."
Next, Lu Hong told the story he heard to Lu Xiang'er. It is said that when the Great Zhou Dynasty was just established, Emperor Taizu held a birthday banquet when he was 50 years old and invited envoys from various small countries to celebrate together in Great Zhou in order to deter the surrounding small countries. Of course, the envoys of the small Tufan states could not come empty-handed, and this grape was one of the congratulatory gifts.
Because Emperor Taizu didn't like fruits, he gave this grape to the concubines of the harem. As soon as the concubine ate it, she fell in love with grapes, and the merchants of the Great Zhou Dynasty also saw the business opportunities. Therefore, grapes were introduced to the Great Zhou Dynasty at a very rapid pace.
But at this moment, the concubine who had eaten grapes for several months suddenly lost the dragon fetus in her womb that was just three months old due to intense vomiting and abdominal pain. According to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, it was eaten by grapes. At this time, the emperor was furious and immediately sent troops to subjugate the small country, and then he gave up. Among the people, some people do not believe that this grape is poisonous, but just think that His Majesty the Emperor wants to establish his authority and use an excuse.
Unexpectedly, after the grapes of the Great Zhou Dynasty were ripe, some people would have swollen necks after eating grapes. Seriously, the neck there is like two big grapes. Moreover, there were women who ate grapes and had miscarriages. So, no one dares to eat grapes anymore. Over time, the grape became a 'poisonous wild fruit'.
"Huh, that's an exaggeration?" Lu Xiang'er blinked, then lowered her head and thought about the reason. Because Lu Xianger also made wine in her previous life, she also knew a little about grapes. But she had never heard of grapes being poisonous, but she couldn't eat them with food.
Regarding the food that is mutually restrained, Lu Xiang'er suddenly had such an impression. It seems that grapes cannot be eaten with seafood, and the consequences are vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Eating grapes and radishes together can induce goiter. This induces goiter, the most obvious special being a thick neck. As for the other symptoms, Lu Xianger couldn't remember clearly.
"So, those people must have eaten seafood or sulforaphane when they were eating grapes." Lu Xiang'er nodded, this ancient radish is called laiphane, which is the most common and longest-eating dish.
Lu Xiang'er didn't expect that this grape would become a 'poisonous wild fruit' just after entering the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is really a pity. Thinking about the sweet and sour taste, Lu Xiang'er's saliva was about to flow down. And grapes aren't just a fruit, they also make Lui's favorite wine. For people like Lu Xiang'er who are under a lot of pressure and don't have a good rest at night, drinking a glass of wine before going to bed is the most comfortable.
Lu Xiang'er, who is a good wine person, thought of wine at the first sight of grapes. And there is no wine in this Great Zhou Dynasty, so does this mean that this is the welfare that God gave to the traverser Lu Xiang'er. Lu Xiang'er can't make the wine of Piaoxiang Winery for the time being, but she can make wine. Moreover, this is the simplest wine, and the method of making it is also very simple. Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er couldn't help laughing.
Lu Hong, who had already read the book, was attracted by Lu Xiang'er's laughter and couldn't help but look at her. But seeing her expression, Lu Hong put down the book, frowned and said suspiciously: "Xiang'er, what do you think, saliva is flowing out." Tell you, don't believe it, eat that grape. ”
"Got it, brother, I won't eat indiscriminately." Lu Xiang'er smiled sweetly at Lu Hong, but did not say the second half of the sentence, I won't eat indiscriminately, I will eat very meaningfully.
At this moment, the courtyard door of the Lu family was suddenly opened, and a figure ran in quickly. The man hadn't arrived in front of Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er yet, so he said with some tears: "Brother Hong, my sister has gone to the mountain, my aunt has gone to the county, and my father has not come back from the mountain." I, I ......"
Listening to the voice, Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er didn't need to look at it to know that this person was Uncle Zhao's son, Zhao Yi, a nerd who likes literature and doesn't like martial arts. Zhao Yi holds a book all day long, like a scholar. But now, his robe is not as upright as usual, and his eyes are red.
"You nerd, what are you doing here, don't go to Muramasa." Without waiting for Lu Hong to ask, Zou Yue, who often picks mushrooms with Zhao Xiu, also followed. In the same way, her face is not very good.
When Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er saw this, they also knew that something must have happened. Lu Hong pulled Lu Xiang'er to walk in front of Zhao Yi, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "Brother Yi'er, don't worry, say slowly, something happened." ”
Although Lu Hong kept appeasing, Zhao Yi still couldn't even say a complete sentence, which made Lu Xiang'er anxious. Even Zou Yue, who was on the side, was anxious and her face turned red. In the end, she pulled Zhao Yi aside, and she said quickly:
"Last night, the village had already notified the families not to let the villagers go to the mountain next to them, but Xiu'er didn't know that she slept early last night, and Zhao Yi forgot to tell her when she was stupid when she was studying. Yesterday, I told Xiu'er that I wouldn't go mushroom picking today and rest at home for a day. But when I first came to look for Xiu'er, I found out that she went out to pick mushrooms again. So, I went up the mountain to look for her, but I searched all the places I usually have, but I couldn't find ......."
"There is an army on that mountain, and the people are not allowed to come and go as they please. So, do you think Zhao Xiu is the mountain that may be arrested? Lu Hong and Lu Xiang'er were both taken aback. But Lu Hong felt very lucky, fortunately he didn't let Lu Xiang'er go to Zhao Xiu, and asked her to wait at home. Otherwise, if you want to cry now, there will be one more Lu Hong.
