Chapter 136: The Medicine to Quench Cravings
Chen Xiao was bored all day and wanted to find something other than painting to do, so he readily agreed.
It just so happened that she was also greedy. Although there are a lot of snacks in the space, she can't eat them openly.
What should we do? There should always be melon seeds, spiced melon seeds; She wants to eat brown sugar and small twist, and she wants to eat beef jerky. Beef is not easy to get here, so make pork jerky...... Chen Xiao discussed with Fang Yu what to do, and Fang Yu was also greedy when he heard it.
"Let's go out and buy materials!" Chen Xiao was eager to try it and wanted to do it now. To be honest, in fact, except for the brown sugar little twist, she has never done anything else, but she knows how to make it.
"Open a list and let the steward buy it." Fang Yudao.
Chen Xiao is right to think about it, things are made for everyone to eat, and the money should be paid by the public.
So she opened a list: ten catties of sunflower seeds, ten catties of wheat flour, ten catties of pork hind leg meat, four catties of sesame oil, four catties of brown sugar, and four catties of salt.
Fang Yu saw that the seasonings on the list were only salt and brown sugar, and asked, "What about the other seasonings?"
"We'll buy the other spices ourselves." Chen Xiao smiled slyly.
Fang Yu roughly understood what she meant, the other seasonings were either not available in this world, or she wanted to keep the recipe.
Fang Yu handed over the list to the steward, saying that this was to make snacks for everyone and asked him to purchase according to the order. Then he went out with Chen Xiao to buy other spices.
Chen Xiao has to do these things, the seasoning is actually very simple, and some kitchens have it. It's just the "five spices" of spiced melon seeds, and you need to go to the pharmacy to buy this.
went to the medicine hall, which was familiar with Fang Yu, and he took Chen Xiao to the Rejuvenation Hall.
As soon as he entered the door, the medicine hall guy greeted him warmly: "Young Master Fang, you are here!"
"Hmm." Fang Yu nodded in response and said, "Let's get some medicine."
"Oh, your medicine doesn't seem to be polished yet. I'll take a look at the back." The man thought he was here to get the medicine used in the official post.
"No, we didn't take that. We're going to get something else."
"Oh, what medicine do you need?"
Chen Xiaodao: "Star anise, cinnamon, cumin, twenty yuan each."
"Is twenty dollars enough?" Fang Yu tilted his head and asked Chen Xiao.
"Thirty bucks, then."
"One pound each, take more."
Chen Xiao wanted to roll his eyes. In the name of the official post, all the medicines here are booked, and finally the yamen will come to settle the bill, and he can do it!
Fang Yu is serious: "This is to treat the grandson."
Let's cure the disease! Chen Xiao thought about it and asked the guy, "Do you have peppercorns?"
"Yes."
"Then add peppercorns." Chen Xiao originally planned to buy peppercorns elsewhere, because the peppercorns in the medicine hall were more expensive.
"A pound each." Fang Yu added to the guy.
"Okay, you two wait." Dude went to weigh the medicine.
Fang Yu asked Chen Xiao, "'Of the five spices of the five spices, there are only four flavors here, and what is the other flavor?"
"Sabanium. Not here." Chen Xiao went to the medicine hall to ask about it when he was making lo-mei in Anxian County before, and they didn't know what kind of leaf the bay leaf was. She also looked for it in the market, but no.
However, she has space in it. She has not only sun-dried bay leaves, but also bay trees that are planted as landscapes.
Gerania tree, evergreen shrub of the Lauraceae family, small tree plants. In addition to being a spice, it is also a landscaping tree species in modern times. In landscaping, it is generally used as a mid-level canopy, resistant to pruning, and can be used as a hedge wall, or as a separation zone in the middle of the road.
A little off topic. Many modern greening plants are actually a bit famous, but everyone usually doesn't pay attention to them. If you look closely, you will see that many of them are spice plants.
"Fragrant Leaf ......" Fang Yu pondered, "What kind of leaf is that?"
Chen Xiao chuckled: "You don't have to look for it, I have it." There's a side of the house outside, don't you see?"
As soon as Fang Yu heard it, he knew that she was talking about space. In retrospect, it seems a bit impressed.
"That looks like a camphor tree?"
"Yes."
The two were chatting about what kind of tree the "bay leaf tree" was planted in, when a man and a woman walked into the medicine hall.
The woman was wearing a strong suit and walked in front, and as soon as she stepped into the medicine hall, her steps were stunned.
"Ashoka!" The little county lord didn't expect to see him again so soon.
Chen Xiao heard her shouting Ayu and saw what she was wearing. Energetic suits are popular in Anxian County, and she has not seen locals wearing energetic suits in Nanzhong County. Who this woman is, is about to be revealed.
Chen Xiao looked at the little county lord, she was about seventeen or eighteen years old, close to one meter seven, her skin was wheat-colored, her round face was average, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of confidence and heroism. This is a "temperamental beauty".
Fang Yu's face was a little stiff, he didn't expect to meet the little county lord here.
At the same time, the little county lord was also looking at Chen Xiao. She is a little short, fair-skinned, delicate facial features, and petite and delicate.
Ayu said that he liked Chen Xiaoxiao's maturity, stability, and intelligence, but the little county lord did not see her "mature" at first sight, and only felt that she was a squeamish little woman.
"She's Chen Xiaoxiao?" The little county lord asked Fang Yu.
"Hmm." Fang Yu introduced to Chen Xiao, "She is the little county lord Aru."
The little county lord hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Don't call me county lord, call me Aru in the future." At present, she hides her identity and calls her the eldest lady of Shengtong Firm. The South Vietnamese did not know the background of Shengtong's trading name, and only regarded her as the eldest lady of a rich family.
"He used to be my fiancé, did he tell you?" Aru suddenly said this to Chen Xiao.
Fang Yu's head "buzzed". He knew that Aru was not a fuel-efficient lamp. She is obedient and obedient in front of her elders, and she is a two-faced and eccentric person, and in terms of "disguise", Aru is no less than Ayu.
"Yes." Chen Xiao faintly said two words.
The little princess in her imagination seems to be a little girl who likes to follow her brother's ass. However, seeing the real little county lord, somehow, Chen Xiao felt that the other party was crushing him in terms of height and temperament.
It's not that Chen Xiao is not confident in herself, it's just that from an objective point of view, she feels that Fang Yu and the little county lord are quite a good match, no wonder the elders want to match.
"Oh? What did he say?" The little county lord looked interested.
"That's what I said. He said he used to have a fiancée." In fact, Fang Yu didn't say that, he just said that Asu intended to marry the little county lord to him.
"Did he tell you about his identity?"
"Yes."
The little county lord looked at Fang Yu, then at Chen Xiao, and chuckled at the corner of his mouth.
The smile looked playful, but with a hint of bitterness.
"I didn't expect him to be quite honest with you." The little county lord smiled miserably.
At this time, the man weighed the medicinal herbs and brought them over.
"Young Master Fang, please leave a word on the counter." Dude said.
Leaving a word is a signature, and Fang Yu only needs to sign it to take the medicinal herbs here.
"Okay." Fang Yu went to sign.
The little county lord glanced at the medicine hall and asked Chen Xiao casually, "How old are your children?"
Chen Xiao was puzzled: "We don't have children yet."
The little county lord smiled. Before Gao Can said that the two were not married, Xiao Shi said that they had been married for several years, and last night Fang Yu said that he met Chen Xiaoxiao after leaving Xiling. To be honest, the little county lord is skeptical of these claims.
"I heard that you are from Xiling Montenegro?" The little county lord asked.
"Yes."
"Where is your home in Montenegro?"
Many modern place names quickly flashed in Chen Xiao's mind, and he replied, "Shennongjia."
"Shennongjia?" The little county lord was puzzled: "Where is Shennongjia in Montenegro?"
"In the depths of Montenegro. Which place exactly...... It's hard to describe, I just know how to go."
The little county lord recalled that she had heard the description of Montenegro, but had never heard of the place "Shennongjia".
At this time, Fang Yu came over after signing and said to Chen Xiao, "Let's go."
The little county lord said, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I'll invite you at noon today."
Are you eating?"
Fang Yu said, "No, we still have something to do, we have to go back."
"It's just a meal! Eat everywhere." The small county lord persuaded.
"Taisun is still waiting for these medicines, we have to go back quickly." Fang Yu picked up the Chinese medicine in his hand and gestured.
The little lord thought about it, anyway, they made an appointment for tomorrow noon, and said, "Okay! See you tomorrow at noon."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Fang Yu picked up Chen Xiao and walked out of the medicine hall.
Looking at their departing backs, the little county lord had mixed feelings. Ayu never asked her what she was doing in the medicine hall? He doesn't care about himself at all. Is it because he already likes another woman?
The little county lord turned his head and asked Sai Mu, "Have you ever heard of a place called Shennongjia in Montenegro?"
Saimu shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."
The little county lord thought about going back and asking Saiyang, he had been to Montenegro and knew more about it.
