Chapter 319: Small Abrasions
Ricardo is not like a hey hand party, but more like a cynical rich young master, who has come to amuse the world.
"So why are you looking for me?" He asked.
"Let me ask you something, who is behind the Irish hiding in Chinatown?" Li Yaoyang asked.
"I don't know, how do I know?" Ricardo shrugged his shoulders.
"If you don't know, Ricciardo, you don't want to see a chaotic Chinatown, which borders Little Italy, and if something happens to Chinatown, the next one is Little Italy, you won't be naΓ―ve enough to think that the Irish will let you go, right?"
Ricardo was stunned:
"What do you mean?"
"Literally, if you want to blame it, your ancestors didn't come to the ugly country first, otherwise it's the Italians who call the shots now."
Ricardo took a sip of wine and did not speak, and after waiting for a long time, he suddenly asked:
"What is the cause of this Chinatown chaos?"
"Uh~ probably because of a woman, right?"
No one knows the whole story better than him, if it weren't for King Jimmy harassing the Shen family, Li Yaoyang would not have sent Xiao Er to warn him, and then there would not have been a series of incidents.
Is this the water of red face? A woman sparked a bloody case.
So far, how many ordinary people in Chinatown have been implicated who can't count, hundreds? Thousands? Almost, it's not good anyway.
Dongxing and Anliang Chamber of Commerce are also not having a good time, the two sides are already inseparable, forcing the New York high-level to be extremely dissatisfied, and they take action to rectify it, and the formal way is not easy to use, so it will simply come to evil.
In the face of the invasion of the Irish, the Chinese showed unprecedented tacit understanding and unity, and almost all the forces counterattacked at the same time without communicating with each other, and the situation further expanded, and the number of casualties per day soared from two to three digits.
In the past, Chinatown was smoky and smoky, and now Chinatown is full of blood and mist, and there are dead people in every corner.
How do you say that? I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled person, born in troubled times, ordinary people can only pray for bad luck not to come.
But what's the use of praying? It's like you look forward to making a windfall every day, but the lottery is controlled by the director, and it's just a pipe dream.
"Woman? Well, it doesn't matter either, the Irish are willing to accept Zhao'an, the matter itself is unexpected, the rivers and lakes are in trouble, the Irish have crossed the line! β
Li Yaoyang nodded:
"That's right, that's why I'm looking for you, and we should be enemies at this time!"
"Hehe, let me think about it, you should know what the consequences will be once the Hey Hand Party participates."
"It's just a little more chaotic, I don't care, New York is already like this, do you care about being more chaotic?"
"Hmm~ got it."
ββββββββββ
After a busy night, Li Yaoyang stayed awake all night, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, but his body was a little unbearable, his back and arm ached faintly, and when he took off his clothes, he saw that his right arm and forearm were scratched by a bullet, no wonder it hurt so much.
As for the back, it is estimated that when he was dodging bullets, he accidentally knocked on something, and it turned purple.
Guangjitang didn't lack medicinal materials, but everyone was busy, so he didn't cause trouble to others, and he made a little bruising and drinking to make do.
But the position of the back is really not something that can be rubbed casually, and it was in vain after trying several times.
At this time, Jiang Fuhai came over, and when he saw his embarrassment, he hurriedly stepped forward:
"Eh, why don't you call me? Hurry up, you do it, I'll rub it for you! β
He poured the wine into a shallow bowl, lit the fire, and quickly dipped his hand in the fire, rubbing the wound with the flames, the hot burning sensation swept over his skin, and Li Yaoyang gasped unconsciously.
However, the effect of this is excellent, and after a while, I feel that my muscles and bones are opened, and the accumulated blood is slowly dissipating.
I made it a few times in a row, and my whole body was comfortable and warm.
"How?" Jiang Fuhai wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
"Much better, thank you Brother Hai."
"You're welcome, I didn't expect that even you were injured, I'll go get you some gold sore medicine and apply the abrasions, otherwise it's easy to get infected."
"Okay."
When waiting for Jiang Fuhai, Yao Baihu came down from upstairs, with a sad face, and he didn't know what trouble he had encountered.
"Old man, what's the matter?"
"Oh, you're there too, huh? What's wrong with this? Injured? "Old Man Yao obviously just woke up, and his eyes are still swollen.
"What's wrong with you? Early in the morning, this expression? β
"Don't mention it, Ling Yunfeng called early in the morning and asked us to go to the triad hall for a meeting, and I don't know what to do, so I won't say anything when I ask him."
"Huh? Isn't mediation postponed? Or is it for the sake of the Irish? β
"I don't know, we'll find out when we go and see."
Old Man Yao asked people to prepare an extra breakfast, people, no matter when they arrive, they have to eat and drink, and they can't stop eating when they are pressed down!
This breakfast today is a bit interesting, and Li Yaoyang hasn't eaten it for a long time.
As soon as it was brought to the table, it was a black bowl, and I couldn't see what was inside.
But the strong spicy taste made Li Yaoyang instantly realize what this was - Hu spicy soup!
Zhu Bin was stunned when he saw him, thinking that he didn't know him, so he couldn't help laughing:
"How? Haven't you seen it before? β
Li Yaoyang was stunned:
"Hu spicy soup, what's this that you haven't seen before?"
"Huh? Have you ever eaten Hu spicy soup? Several old men were amazed.
"Isn't that weird?"
Li Yaoyang didn't know why, just a bowl of spicy soup, the only thing that is strange is that this kind of early resounding in the Central Plains was born so early?
He always thought that it was an early appearance after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Then do you know the history of this spicy soup?" Master Crane asked.
"Don't say it, I really don't know."
Hey~ This bend is unexpected!
"It's not surprising that young people still know little about history." Old Man Yao stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"This spicy soup can be regarded as one of the most supportive diets in our Chinese medicine." Zhu Bin said.
"What's the matter?" Li Yaoyang took a sip, and his appetite was instantly filled with warmth.
After a pause, he said:
"One of the ingredients of this soup is pepper, and if I remember correctly, it should have been introduced to the land of China in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the production period of Hu spicy soup should not be earlier than that of the Tang Dynasty. β
Master Crane chuckled:
That's right, but according to many people's research, the predecessor of Hu spicy soup may be hot and sour soup and porridge, and the source can be traced back to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
At that time, the son of heaven Song Huizong was good at Fengyue, and he was good at military affairs, but he knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, eating, drinking, and playing.
The so-called good at the top, but very bad at the bottom, so the atmosphere of extravagance and extravagance from top to bottom, throughout the country, and especially Bianjing is the most.
Zhang Zeduan's "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" outlines the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty in the first few decades, in which there are many kinds of food and drink, different flavors, evolution, and circulation, and it has become a famous snack in the Central Plains.
Therefore, when it comes to the origin, Hu spicy soup also has an inseparable relationship with Bianliang City, Tokyo. β
Li Yaoyang joked:
"Anyway, if there is something I don't know, it's right to settle on Song Huizong's head, this guy can do anything except not be an emperor!"
The old men were amused, and even a few of the apprentices were snickering when they heard it, and they couldn't bear it very much.
"You kid, this is no joke!
At that time, there was a little eunuch in the palace, who was deeply loved by Song Huizong, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he became the emperor's personal eunuch.
Emperor Huizong favored the little eunuch and allowed him to go out of the palace to play, and went home to save his relatives by the way.
The first stop was the Shaolin Temple, as a celebrity in front of the emperor, the abbot of the temple gave him warm hospitality and took care of him very thoughtfully.
When he saw that the little eunuch had a red face, red ears, dry lips and little food, he served a bowl of Shaolin Temple's 'sobering soup'.
After drinking, the little eunuch felt that his body was refreshed, and he was very happy if he lost all his symptoms, so he drank it for several days.
Before leaving, he asked the abbot for the recipe of 'sobering soup', and the abbot gave this recipe to the little eunuch.
After returning home to save his relatives, the little eunuch continued to travel south and came to Wudang Mountain to have a look.
The head of Wudang Mountain saw that the little eunuch had a lot of food, a lot of urine, a foul smell of stool, and a thin body, so he prepared Wudang Mountain's 'food tea' for the little eunuch.
After drinking for a few days, the little eunuch had a normal stool, his body gradually plumped, and when he took a bronze mirror, his complexion became much fairer.
The little eunuch was very grateful, and asked for this party again.
Seeing that these two parties were quite effective, after the little eunuch returned to the palace, he thought about offering it to Emperor Huizong in order to please the emperor.
He found the eunuch in the imperial dining room and the academician of the imperial hospital, and based on these two recipes, he made a soup with good color, flavor and shape.
The soup not only reduces the bitterness of the tea, but also removes the spicy taste of the soup, and can sober up and refresh, appetize and strengthen the spleen.
Give to the concubines, everyone is good;
Dedicated to Emperor Huizong, this merry emperor is even more energetic and can't help but be overjoyed.
Emperor Huizong asked the little eunuch what kind of soup he was, and the little eunuch had an idea and called it 'longevity soup'.
Emperor Huizong was overjoyed, and gave the little eunuch the surname of the country, and the imperial seal of this soup was 'Zhao's longevity soup'.
This soup is said to keep out the cold in winter and escape the heat in summer, and Emperor Huizong once issued it in the military camp.
After the sergeants obeyed, they were invasible and diseased, and their reputation rose for a while, and thus became a good prescription in the army.
Later, coinciding with the difficulty of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers broke through Kaifeng City and captured the two emperors of Huizong and Qinzong.
In the chaos, the little eunuch broke out of his cage and fled south with the fleeing crowd.
The little eunuch has lived in the palace for a long time, his body is weak, coupled with the disaster of prison and the difficulty of breaking the country, the road is cold, and his heart is frightened.
After walking a short distance, he fell seriously ill, and when he fled to the docks of Xiaoyao Town, it was late, and he could no longer support himself, and passed out in front of a tea stove on the docks.
The next morning, Wang Laohan, who sold tea, found a person lying in front of the stove and quickly dragged him to the house for treatment.
After a hot meal of hot soup and rice, the little eunuch's illness was much better.
Wang Laohan took in the little eunuch and married his daughter to the little eunuch as his wife. β
Hearing this, Li Yaoyang couldn't help but interrupt:
"Master He, this story sounds reliable in the front, but it will be pulled later, in that era, who was willing to marry his family's yellow flower girl to a eunuch?"
Zhu Bin waved his hand:
"Don't be in a hurry to ask, keep listening, in fact, we also feel skeptical, but a story is a story, whether it's true or not."
Li Yaoyang wants to say that the fake knows that there is a fart!
Master Crane continued:
In order to make a living, the little eunuch turned the tea stall into a breakfast stall, and he changed the longevity soup.
At that time, the people in the palace liked soup for nourishment, and the common people needed porridge to satisfy their hunger, in short, the little eunuch sold it to merchants from all over the world.
Later, the little eunuch removed the medicine in the soup, and added fried black sesame seeds, peanut kernels, etc., to make a sweet soup, which became popular in Xiaoyao local oil tea.
One day, a northern merchant brought a bottle of pepper to eat the little eunuch's big porridge.
Wang Laohan accidentally knocked over the pepper shaker that the guest had placed on the side of the porridge bucket, and the little eunuch inadvertently stirred the pepper into the pot.
After the guests eat, the body and mind are smooth, the whole body is comfortable, and the spicy soup is born in an accidental collision.
The northern merchant asked the little eunuch what kind of soup or porridge it was.
Xiao Taijian sensed that something was wrong, smelled the fragrance of the soup, scooped it out and tasted it, the spicy taste was mellow.
There is not only the spicy taste of dried ginger and good ginger, but also the spicy taste of pepper and long pepper, as well as the spicy taste of cinnamon and kaempfera.
The combination of various different spicy tastes fully mobilizes the taste organs, and the sensations are very different, so the little eunuch called it Hu spicy soup when he had an idea. β
Zhu Bin added:
"So, got it?
The so-called Hu spicy soup does not mean that pepper and chili pepper are put in the soup, in fact, only pepper is used in authentic Hu spicy soup.
Hu spicy soup means 'spicy', the kind of spicy flavor that adds up to all kinds of spiciness.
Other explanations are either seconded or based on the text.
After several years of folk processing and development, a kind of Hu spicy soup that suits the taste of northerners, has a mellow spicy taste and fragrant soup was born in Xiaoyao Town.
Hu spicy soup is not only delicious in color and delicious, but also has a medical price for disease prevention and fitness.
And it is affordable, regardless of whether you are rich or poor, you can consume and enjoy, so it is generally welcomed by consumers. β
Li Yaoyang suddenly, Old Man Yao said:
"This spicy soup is a warm and spicy product, mostly containing volatile oil, piperin, gingerol, etc., which has the effect of stimulating the gastric mucosa and sweat glands, can enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis, drive away cold, and accelerate metabolism.
Qi and sweating will make the body brisk, and symptoms such as lack of food accumulation, stomach sluggishness, and cold can be quickly relieved.
Moreover, Hu spicy soup is rich in various nutrients, which can increase a lot of nutrients after drinking.
Drinking a bowl of spicy soup is a good product to meet the nutritional needs of the previous day, especially in winter, to drive away the cold. β
A bowl of spicy soup tells so many ways, Li Yaoyang is also convinced, he doesn't care about nutrition or not, it's just that Laurie has been stained with wind and frost overnight, and he has such a bowl of spicy soup, which is much more useful than knowing history.
The practice of making Hu spicy soup varies from place to place, and it is impossible to talk about which is authentic and which is not.
Anyway, Guangjitang's Hu spicy soup tastes very good, and there are many kinds of Chinese herbs added.
After breakfast, several old men set off for the triad hall, while Li Yaoyang went home to catch up on sleep.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a blind old man holding Xiaoyu on the sofa in a daze.
Although his eyesight has recovered somewhat, his eyes still look a little weird, and the timid are easily frightened.
Li Yaoyang got used to it, but he didn't feel scared, but he was just curious why the blind old man was so quiet today?
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
