The weather in June was already very hot, and Yang Zhifu was sweating profusely from eating spicy dishes. Bookmark this site
Gu Qianyu asked someone to bring him iced sour plum soup, and then, he poured a glass of wine, stood up, bowed to Yang Zhifu and said: "Teacher, I know that you are not good at what is in the cup, so you can use this sour plum soup instead of wine, and let the students toast the teacher!" ”
"Good!"
Gu Huaming also stood up, raised his glass and said: "Thank you Lord Yang for gifting the restaurant, now my family can be prosperous, all rely on the generosity of adults, Gu is grateful!" ”
Gu Yuqiao listened, and also raised his glass and stood up.
Governor Yang smiled and said, "Don't, just sit!" ”
He was so approachable, but the Gu family still insisted on making a big gift.
Governor Yang also stood up before accepting the toast from their family.
The four of them drank it all, and Yang Zhifu drank a cup of iced sour plum soup, and his spirits were immediately lifted.
Originally, he ate a lot of spicy dishes, although he had a great appetite and hearty, but in this weather, his mouth felt hot, and there was a heat all over his body that could not be dissipated.
But after this cup of sweet and sour, cold and cold things, he felt comfortable and refreshed all over his body!
Immediately, he stroked his beard and laughed, "Don't smear gold on my face, where did I have such delicious dishes in my original restaurant, and where can I make money every day like you now?" ”
Gu Huaming said: "But if there is no gift from adults, there will be no restaurant today." ”
"Well, if you really appreciate me, you might as well put this," he paused, pointing to the flask in front of him.
Gu Qianyu immediately explained: "This is iced sour plum soup." ”
Governor Yang smiled and said, "It's better to tell me about this iced sour plum soup." ”
Gu Huaming naturally knew everything, "Take the money of black plum and hawthorn, one coin of tangerine peel, three coins of mulberry, two coins of roselle, one piece of rosemary, two pieces of licorice, two pieces of mint leaves, four taels of rock sugar, add one liter of water and cook together." ”
Governor Yang nodded again and again after hearing this, "Brother Gu is really an expert!" A simple sour plum soup, the ingredients are so complicated. ”
Gu Huaming said with a smile: "Actually, if you don't have so many things, you can just use black plum, hawthorn and sugar." ”
Yang Zhifu drank another sip of sour plum soup, and the cold soup was under the water, and his whole body was extremely comfortable.
But in the blink of an eye, he looked solemn.
"I just heard from you that this sour plum soup is chilled?"
"Exactly."
"It's too extravagant to greet the old man like this! The old man is ashamed of it, next time, don't do it. Governor Yang's tone was slightly reproachful.
It's summer now, and it doesn't snow in Anyang County in winter, so the ice cubes that can be bought must have been transported from the north, and the cellar has been stored until now, and there is basically no one in ten, and the price of ice must be too expensive to estimate.
He has been an official for many years, and although his family has never worried about money, he has never been extravagant.
Gu Qianyu smiled, "Teacher, you can enjoy it with confidence, we make our own ice." ”
Governor Yang was stunned and asked in shock: "Ice making?" Do you also make ice? Ice can still be made?! ”
His voice was getting higher and higher, and his tone was more and more excited.
Facing his mentor, Gu Qianyu didn't hide it, "Yes, the housemaid accidentally discovered that saltpeter can be used to make ice." ”
"Saltpeter?" Governor Yang looked puzzled, obviously not knowing what saltpeter was.
