Chapter 681: Suddenly
The two were still discussing, and Qiu Yue had already knocked on the door and entered.
Ji Qingling saw that she was carrying a food box in her hand, and knew that it was a pastry, but when she turned her head and saw that the room was full of musty smell and dust, she explained: "You might as well take it to the side hall first, and we will come over." ”
smiled with Gu Yanzhang again: "Fifth brother, take a break, I asked someone to make pastries, are you hungry?" ”
Gu Yanzhang was not hungry, seeing her full of interest, where would she refuse, now if she wants to eat a cow, she can stuff it in, and she responded with a voice in her mouth, so she put the pen holder in her hand back on the pen holder, covered the inkstone again, cleaned up the table, got up and went out with Ji Qingling one after another, and walked to the side hall.
The two entered the side hall, and Qiu Yue had already brought out the plates and plates in the food box and set up a table.
The plates are all small, looking a lot, but there are few things, one by one, but there are two tea cups, a pot of tea, a few plates of food and pastries, and fresh fruits.
Ji Qingling took a seat, poured a cup of tea for Gu Yanzhang first, and said with a smile: "Fifth brother, taste this taste." ”
Gu Yanzhang took a sip as he said.
At this time, it was the height of summer, drinking hot tea in summer, just to relieve fever with heat, he ate it in one bite, but it was a little light taste out, it seemed to be nothing, and he tasted it again, and said with some questions: "How is it so fragrant." ”
Ji Qingling asked, "What kind of fragrance did you taste?" ”
Gu Yanzhang said: "It seems to be the fragrance of bamboo leaves." ”
He paused, suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not the cooked bamboo water mentioned in "Qu Wei's Old News"? ”
Originally, according to the ancient law, there is a local specialty of bamboo in Xin'an County, only the height of the ruler, but the leaves are more than twice as large as the ordinary bamboo leaves, and the branches and stems are only about half the thickness of the ordinary bamboo, the local people inadvertently picked the leaves to boil the water, and found that the water was light and floating, fragrant, so they gave a name called cooked bamboo water, and later spread to other states, the greater the fame, the higher the price.
Gu Yanzhang paused, a little puzzled, and asked again: "Where did you go to find the bamboo leaves in Xin'an County?" On such a hot day, Jiangsu and Zhejiang transported back to Yongqiu County, where is there such a freshness? ”
Ji Qingling was amused, pursed his lips and glanced at him, "It's not from Xin'an County." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to a corner of the courtyard outside the pavilion.
Gu Yanzhang followed her gesture and looked out, and sure enough, he saw that there was a large clump of bamboo in that place, but it was not the garden bamboo used to decorate the courtyard, but it was like a bamboo bamboo used to produce bamboo shoots in the mountains and fields.
Ji Qingling said: "It is the tip of the bamboo leaves picked in the morning, take the well water to boil the mature water, soak it for a quarter of an hour, and boil it into this ripe bamboo water, although I drink it is more than the bamboo leaves of Xin'an County, but the smell of the bamboo leaves is already hanging, and the difference is not too big." ”
At the same time, he moved the pastries on the table that were close to Gu Yanzhang again, and said with a smile: "Didn't the fifth brother say that he wanted to eat lotus meatloaf last time?" I took advantage of the sun yesterday, went out for a walk in the morning, and saw that the roadside shop was selling, and the taste was no worse than that of Zhangjia Cake Shop. ”
The two of them sat and gossiped, and when Gu Yanzhang finished eating a cake, his face was originally tight, but at this time, all his facial features were loosened, and the smile on his face was really comfortable.
He sucked the moldy ash in a room with the moldy millet in the morning for a long time, but he didn't find a good way, he was a little pressed himself, and now he sat with Ji Qingling for a while, in fact, he didn't find a way, it was useless, but I don't know why, but the mood is better.
He saw that Ji Qingling only held the tea cup and drank the bamboo leaf water, and he didn't eat much, so he dragged the chair to the left, looked up and glanced at the various foods on the table, and didn't see this special favorite fresh fruit, so he had to turn his head to look at the pastry, and saw the horseshoe cake mixed with sour jujube cake, so he moved the plate to Ji Qingling, and asked sideways, "Why don't you eat?" In the morning, you only ate a bowl of noodles in front of a few plates of cold snacks, and after sitting with me for half a day, you are afraid that your stomach is going to be hungry? ”
Then he whispered, "Do you want to eat pastries or fruits?" Why don't you see something you like, do you want someone to go to the street to buy something from the side and come back? ”
Ji Qingling shook his head and said, "It's hot, and I don't have much appetite." ”
He smiled again: "I like pastries a lot, eat these first, and then eat those full stomachs in the evening." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the horseshoe cake on the plate in front of him with chopsticks.
She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned her head to Gu Yanzhang and said, "Fifth brother, will I share half with you?" If you eat a whole piece, you won't have the appetite to eat the side food. ”
Gu Yanzhang smiled and said, "Why do you eat so little, I tried to circle it a few days ago, and my waist is thin." ”
As he spoke, he coaxed her to eat more, and reached out to help her press the plate.
Ji Qingling pondered in his heart for a long time, and said with an unintentional look: "Fifth brother, when I was in Guangnan, I saw that there were horseshoes sold on the street, and those with leather sold for 30 wen a bag, but those with skin were sold for 60 wen a bag, guess how it was so expensive?" ”
Gu Yanzhang smiled: "I'm afraid it's a lot of manpower to peel the skin?" ”
After he finished speaking, Fu also felt that something was wrong, and said: "Even if it takes manpower, it won't be so expensive?" It was doubled, and I was afraid that there was something bad in the horse's hooves. ”
Ji Qingling said: "I also went to ask others, saying that the horseshoe is easy to break, once one of them is moldy, it will be dyed next to the moldy, and if you are unlucky, a bag will be bitter in one of the three, and you can't eat it at all, but as long as a handful of skin goes, the meat inside can be exposed, and it can no longer be hidden, and the meat is yellow, so you have to cut off the bad meat, and it is not good to sell it indiscriminately. ”
Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but smile and said, "This is not right. ”
Ji Qingling was quite surprised and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Yanzhang said: "Things are priced according to 369, etc., since he has time to cut horse's hooves on the street, he may as well use the kung fu of cutting things to divide the things according to fresh and not fresh, sweet and not sweet, slag and slag, and so sweet, water and slag sent to the hotel teahouse, find a small inn, restaurant or good, let the kitchen taste the taste, can sell at a higher price, the rest of the not sweet and not slag, not much moisture, may as well grind it into powder and sell water chestnut powder...... The left and right batches have been cut, and everything can be seen clearly, so it's better to ......"
When he said it, he didn't say three words, and suddenly he paused, still holding the plate of pastries in his hand, but his mind was like a mountain temple morning bell suddenly ringing, and he knocked the long paragraph he had just said again.
For a moment, he was able to freeze his whole body.
