It's a sunny day today, the weeping willows on the riverside are luxuriant, and the Xinyi medicine shop is still shady, but the heat is getting stronger, and the wind of the Wuzhang River can't blow away the thick heat.

After noon, Xin Yi summoned all the people in the medicine shop to the hall of the side courtyard, leaving only An Niangzi and two men on duty to take care of the front hall.

The place is spacious, perfect for a conference.

Today's Xinyi Pharmacy, there are a total of 30 people, old and young, saying more and less, and it is not easy to manage.

However, Xin Yi doesn't like to talk about some lengthy and boring things, in addition to formulating the rules and regulations of the medicine shop, she only gathers the people in the shop every half a month to ring the alarm bell, talk about safety, and put an end to the fraud of medicinal materials and medical accidents......

After the meeting, build a team, get together to eat and drink, and win over feelings.

Today is the same, the proceedings in the hall are still going on, and in the stove room at the back, food has been prepared, and the big pot and big stove are full of firewood, exuding the fragrance of food, and the worms have come out......

And every time there is a meeting, Xin Yi uses humorous stories as examples, and everyone in the workshop is like listening to a story, learning from it, and the alarm bell rings for a long time, and gradually likes this kind of discussion with food and drink, and will not be irritable.

"Alright, I'm done."

Xin Yi took a sip of water and looked at everyone and smiled slightly.

"If you have any ideas, you can also share them."

Guys scratch your ears and cheeks, you look at me, I look at you, and I just laugh for a while.

"We all listen to Mrs. Zhang!"

"Yes, we all listen to the boss."

"Whatever the boss lady says, we'll do it."

The crowd laughed.

After a while, Zhou Daozi yawned.

"The old man just wants to know, what are you going to eat today......

He sniffed, inhaled a few times, and nodded silently, "It's so fragrant." Hungry! ”

Xin Yi glanced at him, a little funny, and was about to beckon everyone to disperse, when he swept his eyes, he saw Sun Huai standing at the door, looking in on tiptoe with an anxious expression.

"Okay, that's the end of this half-moon meeting, let's go down and rest for a while, and wait for the meal."

There was a roar and laughter below.

And they dispersed.

Xin Yi got up and approached Sun Huai and bowed, "Grandpa Sun, is there something wrong with me?" ”

Sun Huai looked left and right, beckoned to Xin Yi, and whispered: "Ninth Master asked me to tell you, today he will bring a noble person to come for consultation, let the lady prepare some strange things, entertain the distinguished guests......"

Xin Yi frowned slightly.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the king of Guangling County is already noble, who can be called a noble person by him?

Xin Yi's mind was lively, and he immediately understood who that person was.

"Thank you, father-in-law, I can save it."

Sun Huai nodded and pointed outside, "Then I'll go first." By the way, the ninth master also said...... Don't be too deliberate, it's not good to let the nobles know. ”

Xin Yi smiled and agreed, strangely sweet in his heart.

In the past, she was afraid of Fu Jiuqu, treating him as a villain, a traitor, beware everywhere, and careful in everything, who would have thought that she would fall in love with such a quirky person? How would you have thought that the king of Guangling County was actually a gentle and delicate man in his bones? Will she be thoughtful about big and small things?

An inexplicable smile appeared on Xin Yi's face.

But in an instant, I was worried again.

KitKat?

What is Strange?

What is coincidence?

What kind of kitkat can impress the Great Song Emperor, and it can't make him feel deliberate?

This Fu Jiuqu has given her a problem!

I think of her too much.

Xin Yi pushed open the wooden window, looked at the broken golden light waves reflecting the river and the sun overhead, and his mind suddenly became active......

Once the mango is planted, the summer solstice will soon be coming, although it has not yet been ambushed, but this day is already hot, with today's "half-moon discussion", make some drinks for the guys in the store, and "by the way" sell them to the officials, it must be good?

Xin Yi almost immediately confirmed the idea.

Because when she thought of all kinds of drinks such as cola, soda, milk tea, coffee, etc., her stomach was about to stick out her tongue......

Just do it.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were already cold drink shops, and in Mahang Street and Zhouqiao Night Market, the "drink" and "fragrant drink" signboards that can be seen everywhere are all shops selling cold drinks. Therefore, the Song people would dig cellars to store ice early, and all kinds of cold water slurry paste emerged in endlessly......

But for Xin Yi, these are only helps, not difficulties.

The power of civilization spanning 900 years is not her alone. After 900 years of improvement and survival of the fittest, something that can still occupy a place in modern dining must be a novelty......

As for whether the ancients liked it or not, she wasn't sure, but the interest came, even if Zhao Zhen didn't come, she wanted to make some to comfort herself.

Coke and coffee, lacking materials, were the first to be excluded by Xinyi.

After thinking about it, I think the most feasible thing is milk tea and vinegar plum soup, just squeeze some orange juice and make a "fragrant orange bashi fish".

She can't care if it's a kit or not, because she's already hungry.

Xin Yi loves good food, thanks to his previous research on traditional Chinese medicine.

The so-called "medicine and food homology", she will study pharmacology at the same time, but also study "taste bud health", so she has practical experience in some common family diets.

Milk tea is the simplest.

In order for a few children to drink fresh milk, although Xin Yi finally canceled the plan to raise cows, Uncle Zhang and Xiao Cao Niangzi in Zhangjia Village, as well as several other families, were mobilized by her to raise cows that produce milk, and they will send milk regularly every day.

Xin Yi asked the eldest brother of the Zhang family to hurry back to the village, collect some fresh milk, take out the tribute tea "rewarded" by the king of Guangling County, boil the tea soup, make pearl balls with starch, and then take out brown sugar and sucrose to prepare, and then start construction......

When Fu Jiuqu took Zhao Zhen to the pharmacy, the sun was slanting in the west, but the heat had not subsided.

The sour plum soup boiled by Xin Yi has just cooled, filtered the impurities with gauze, and put it in the teapot for later use, the fragrant milk tea has already been cooled, and the lover is holding a pot of ice from Aunt Li's house, shouting along the way, "Let it go, the ice is going to melt", and the whole medicine shop is laughing and laughing.

Happiness knows no bounds.

Such an atmosphere is very difficult to see Zhao Zhen in the Forbidden Palace.

Everyone in the palace respects him and fears him, but his most common feeling is actually alienation.

It's hard for Zhao Zhen to imagine a scene like this, where there are no big or small, no up or down, and the big guys are together......

He frowned, staring at everything in front of him with a complicated gaze, not moving.

Fu Jiuqu glanced at him, "Uncle, please come inside." ”

Zhao Zhen snorted, "What are they doing?" So noisy. ”

Fu Jiuqu said: "I don't know about this. Because my uncle was out on patrol and didn't want to disturb others, I didn't inform them in advance, and I would find out when I called Xin Yi to ask. ”

Xinyi?

Zhao Zhen heard him call other people's names, frowned and glanced at him, and snorted.

Fu Jiuqu hooked his lips and smiled lightly, and slowly followed.

Several guards stood silently at the door, no longer following, only Sun Huai and Zhao Zhen's inner attendants followed......

In the eyes of the nobles, this is already low-key, but their appearance immediately attracted the attention of the people in the pharmacy.

They have all seen the king of Guangling, who is the man beside him who is so heroic and majestic?

Could it be his father?

Everyone speculated, but they didn't dare to make a sound.

Xin Yi just added ice in the stove room to enjoy the taste, and just drank a sip of sour plum soup to get a refreshment, when he heard the report, the distinguished guest came, and hurriedly strode out to greet him.

She was in a hurry, looking like she was in a hurry, and Fu Jiuqu looked at each other, looking like she had just known that Zhao Zhen was coming, and said in surprise: "Official ......"

"I'll sit down." Zhao Zhen interrupted her, "The recliner was good last time, and the acupuncture was also good." ”

Xin Yi changed his smile, "Honored guest, please." I'll arrange it for you. ”

Zhao Zhen strode in front, Xin Yi stood sideways, and when he walked over, he was about to follow, when Fu Jiuqu glanced at him.

Xin Yi also happened to look at him.

The two looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

Zhao Zhen was arranged on the recliner he sat on last time, patted the armrest, looked at the gently rippling Wuzhang River, and then looked sideways at Xinyi's courtyard. Flowers are blooming, vegetables are all over the garden, and they are lush by the river......

"Your little courtyard is very good."

Xin Yi followed Zhao Zhen's gaze and glanced at his vegetable garden, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Thank you for the compliment. I also love the yard, it's vibrant, it's what it feels like to be alive. ”

What it feels like to be alive......

Zhao Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, pondering these words, and asked coldly: "Alive, do you think it is fortunate or unlucky?" ”

Xin Yi smiled, "Being a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, worry-free about food and clothing, is naturally happy and lucky." ”
