Chapter 233: Fried Skewers
This one on the left is a meat skewer, next to it is plum meat, this one is delicious, this one is chicken skin, this one is mutton, this one is kidney, this one is mutton tendon, this one is fish. Except for the fish, it is all a penny and a string. Fish and meat are three cents, and chicken thighs, chicken thighs are four cents. ”
The old woman used a new leak net to Zhu Hongyu to look at it, Zhu Hongyu naturally wanted to eat it when she looked at this, and she also wanted to eat it when she looked at that, Jin Yuanjing quickly saw through Zhu Hongyu's thoughts.
"Two strings."
Zhu Hongyu just wanted to complain that Jin Yuanjing wanted too much, but was pulled by Jin Yuanjing towards the small stool next to him.
The two of them were arranged by the old woman's son to sit in an inconspicuous position inside, probably because of the Thousand Autumn Festival, the old woman's business did not seem to be very good.
Soon, the shopkeeper's son stepped forward and poured tea for the two.
If there is some sweet juice, it would be better if there was cola.
But obviously, there is no "fat house happy water" in this era.
Jin Yuanjing looked at Zhu Hongyu's absent-minded appearance, a little frightened, and didn't know if he had spent too much money to make Zhu Hongyu unhappy.
"What's wrong? Why don't you look happy? ”
Zhu Hongyu hurriedly came back to her senses, she was in a daze thinking about juice cola just now, but she didn't expect to be noticed by Jin Yuanjing that she was unhappy, this is the conscience of heaven and earth, she was not unhappy because of this incident!
"No, I just remember that when I was at home, I was leaning against the mountains, and the mountains were full of fruit trees. As soon as the fruit was hung on the fruit tree, we would take the fruit and squeeze the juice, and then put sugar in it, which was particularly delicious. ”
Jin Yuanjing remembered something, and said: "I remember that there was once a fairy friend from the Langmei Temple in Wudang Mountain, he came from the land of Bagui, and his family has tens of thousands of acres of sugarcane, and sugar is not a rare thing in the local area. ”
Zhu Hongyu frowned, it was hard to imagine what kind of pomp it was.
"So much sugar cane? How do they grow it? ”
"It is said that he is one of the richest families in the area, and his family is very rich, so there is a lot of land. So their family has wrapped up the mountain, and after wrapping this mountain and that mountain, all the mountains in the county will be their family's property. Afterward...... He was born, and after he was born, he was ill and could only be sent to the Taoist temple. So he left home. ”
Zhu Hongyu thought to herself, even if the status of Taoist priests is so high in this era, there are actually few families who can send their children to become monks, probably because even in this era, the rest is still a first-class major event, so no family is willing to let their children be cut off.
Ay......
Zhu Hongyu was about to say something, when the freshly fried potato chips and leeks were served, as well as two strings of food that were not on the stall just now.
"Two, potatoes, leeks, dried tofu."
Jin Yuanjing hurriedly stopped Xiao Er and said, "What? How can there be dried tofu? ”
"This is what my aunt gave you, see if you have eyes."
Zhu Hongyu thought to herself, what is called "having eyes". is really good at talking, obviously because they spend a lot of money, so they will have such "preferential treatment".
But thinking about these shady things is obviously meaningless, Zhu Hongyu picked up the dried tofu and ate it first.
The dried tofu that is fried the outside is sweet, and it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
It's delicious.
If there is one selling this in Yunmeng Town, Ganzhou, she will definitely visit every day.
The two of them put the vegetarian dishes on their stomachs, and soon the meat dishes came up, first plum meat and lean meat skewers, which were worn on skewers, and the number was not very large, maybe for the convenience of frying.
Two people ate four skewers of meat in two bites, followed by chicken skin, lamb skewers, meat tendons and other bits and pieces, and finally chicken thighs and kidneys.
The kidneys are pork loins, which are fried in a pot with a flower knife, and with the addition of chili noodles and cumin noodles, it has a thick feeling of fried goods.
Besides, this chicken leg, although it was fried a little dry and old, but it could eat a full amount of meat, and Zhu Hongyu felt that she was almost going to die.
After eating all the skewers, the two of them hiccuped in unison, Zhu Hongyu took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth first, and Jin Yuanjing stared at her fascinated.
Zhu Hongyu felt very embarrassed.
"Why don't you wipe your mouth?"
Zhu Hongyu really didn't want a man to look at the embarrassment that she didn't wipe her mouth after eating, who knew that Jin Yuanjing would have to look at her at this time! It's disgusting!
Jin Yuanjing looked at Zhu Hongyu and said a little aggrieved: "I didn't bring a handkerchief out." ”
Zhu Hongyu hurriedly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and handed it to Jin Yuanjing.
After Jin Yuanjing got the handkerchief, he first sniffed deeply, and then wiped his mouth with the place where Zhu Hongyu wiped his mouth.
When Zhu Hongyu saw this scene, her cheeks flushed.
Jin Yuanjing is really good at flirting! Rounding up is an indirect kiss!
"You, you bad guy, you didn't bring your own handkerchief, you deliberately tried to deceive my handkerchief!"
Jin Yuanjing nodded, and did not deny his actions.
"Yes, exactly. I just like to lie to you, have fun? ”
Zhu Hongyu pursed her lips, and she didn't know what to say about this Jin Yuanjing!
After many years in Wudang Mountain, I didn't learn a single bit of immortality, but I learned the skills of these disciples, which is okay and very convincing.
"Okay, I'm done eating, I don't have anything to eat, you go and pay."
Zhu Hongyu looked taken for granted, Jin Yuanjing was not ambiguous, and stood up and finished settling the account with the old man's son.
After eating, Zhu Hongyu found an abnormal thing, that is, Jin Yuanjing took out five big money, although this son was running away, but his hands were messed up to death, and he didn't know how much money he should find out.
It seems that their family doesn't do this very often.
But it's really delicious.
Zhu Hongyu stepped forward, saw that there was no business around, and saw that Grandma was resting, so she asked with a lot of mouth: "Mother-in-law, don't your family make fried skewers in the night market for a living?" ”
Hearing Zhu Hongyu ask like this, her mother-in-law nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, yes, our family grows licorice, but this year, I don't know why, licorice suddenly has a cheap price, and we can only come out to sell fried skewers. Not to mention, there are quite a lot of people who buy this, and it's much better than growing licorice. After that, our family will no longer grow licorice, and the harvest will not be good after doing a lot of work, so it is better to sell fried skewers to make money. ”
Zhu Hongyu thought to herself, if it can be made into an industry, it will definitely make no less than fried skewers, but who made the output of licorice more this year. If the production of licorice is too large, it will inevitably cause the price of licorice to be cheap.
Wait a minute?
Zhu Hongyu looked at the old woman, and suddenly a chill ran in her back, and she realized a serious problem.
"Mother-in-law...... Is there a lot of people selling licorice this year? ”
The old woman who sold fried skewers nodded, she was angry when she talked about it.
"It is said that licorice didn't grow much in the wild before, and licorice is the best in our Liangzhou. Our family has been digging and growing licorice for generations. Although there have been years when the amount of licorice has increased, it has not suddenly become a worthless thing like this year. Ay...... Who knows? Maybe it's all providence."
Hearing this, Zhu Hongyu felt another tremor behind her. She didn't know what she was supposed to say now.
I just felt a chill all over my body.
Soon Jin Yuanjing negotiated the price with the old woman's son, and walked to Zhu Hongyu's side.
Zhu Hongyu stood in front of the old woman's stall tremblingly, which made Jin Yuanjing confused again.
"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious? Or ......"
Zhu Hongyu's mind was empty.
She couldn't think at all now, she just felt uncomfortable in every part of her body.
Once, only once, she only believed in half of the "heaven and man induction" in traditional Chinese medicine.
Zhu Hongyu did believe that some seasonal diseases were prone to occur in some seasons, but she did not believe that if a plague broke out, the production of medicinal materials to treat the corresponding plague would increase dramatically.
However, the last time she was in Peach Blossom Village, the aconite thing gave her a head start.
At that time, she and Runye walked to the valley at the east end of the village, and the purple aconite flowers bloomed all over the mountain, and the aconite, which should have grown in the deepest valley, changed its character at this moment and was willing to grow on a higher slope.
It is a hot aconite, and even if it is used in medicine, there are not many medicines that can directly use raw aconite, but it needs to be concocted to be used.
And not long after this incident, the entire Yunmeng Town broke out with plague cholera.
The most important herb for cholera is aconite.
How can Zhu Hongyu not believe that this is the so-called "providence"?
Licorice, this flavor medicine has a special position among many medicinal materials, and it can be said to be the prime minister of medicine.
When most of the herbs are compatible with it, they can exert their own medicinal effects to a greater extent, and it can also become the main medicinal material of many prescriptions.
This herb is really for nothing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Hongyu thought left and right, and felt that this matter was not quite right.
"Mother-in-law, do you have any licorice left in your house now?"
The old woman who fried the skewers looked at Zhu Hongyu, she didn't look like a doctor, but the one next to her looked a little like a doctor.
"Yes, we still have a lot of them in our house, if your family is a pharmacy, can you buy some?"
Zhu Hongyu knew the importance of licorice, but she couldn't help but be a little worried about her two camels.
"Let's take a look at the quality, if we can, we can buy a little bit, why don't we buy it tomorrow during the day?"
The old lady who sold fried skewers nodded again and again, and said, "Our house is not far away, just two miles outside Liangzhou City, there is only one of us in that place, and only our family grows licorice." You will see when you go. ”
Zhu Hongyu thought that two miles outside Liangzhou City was not far away, and it would be good to go and see it tomorrow after selling the carriage and replacing it with a camel.
"Jin Yuanjing, let's go."
At this time, Zhu Hongyu was thinking more about whether she should do another business.
In fact, in the pharmaceutical industry, there is always a feeling of doing business with a conscience.
Does the surge in licorice production mean ...... Is there a new plague?
