215 Looking for Tim Fragrance
Ling Xiaorou carried the lantern, bent over, and held an inconspicuous grass in one hand, rummaging under the trees and grass in the garden according to the appearance.
The grass is called Tianxiang by Rong Wuye, the leaves are purple, the appearance is similar to perilla, but the leaves are smaller, but there is a unique aroma in the mouth, the first taste is like artemisia, the aftertaste is very strong, after chewing a whole leaf, the mouth will be numb and crispy, fragrant and disgusting.
However, the fragrant leaves are dried and ground and added to the peppercorns, and a little bit can be used to make a pot of stuffing full of the unique fragrance of the fragrance.
Behind Ling Xiaorou, he was far away from He Lou, who was about to leave the capital, and he didn't have to go to the morning court when he was preparing to leave the capital, and he couldn't wait to be by Ling Xiaorou's side for twelve hours a day.
It's a pity that Ling Xiaorou has been busy improving food recently, He Louyuan often feels that he is not as good as a cake in Ling Xiaorou's heart, at least the cake is done well, Ling Xiaorou will smile at him, otherwise standing in front of her, she will treat him as if he doesn't exist.
If he hadn't known that Ling Xiaorou was working hard to improve the diet of the soldiers, he would have really gone crazy with jealousy.
wanted to persuade Ling Xiaorou to go back to Jicheng with him, but he was afraid that Ling Xiaorou would refuse, sometimes he would think, why don't you just knock people out and drag them away when you leave?
After looking around, her tired waist couldn't straighten up, and Ling Xiaorou didn't find a herb in the garden, it seems that this grass is really as Rong Wu said, and she has to go to the wild to find it.
Ling Xiaorou calculated that it would not be long before He Lou was far away from Beijing, she could use these days to find Tian Xiang, this kind of grass that only grows in the north, I don't know if it will grow if it is brought to the south, she has a lot of land, although most of it is rented to tenant farmers, and she keeps a lot of it in her hands, and what she lacks is something distinctive.
At that time, there is no need to plant much, a small piece of land, as long as it is planted, it is enough.
She originally wanted to stay in the capital to accompany Ling Feng and his son for a few more days, but after having the idea of wanting to make convenient food, she still felt that Jicheng's extensive transportation and rich resources in the sea were more suitable for her development, not to mention that there was an immortal emperor in the capital, so Ling Xiaorou really had no intention of staying, and she happened to be with the old lady and He Louyuan all the way, and there was also a response on the road.
And Mrs. Qu is also thinking about opening a few shops in the capital these days, and she can't always sit and eat empty as a family, let alone stay in Ningyuan Palace, and Qu Hongan's future income is completely not enough to support the family.
As for what shop to open, there is no need to think much about it, the few new shops opened by Mrs. Qu in Gao County are all selling food, and they are cooked, and they can get started quickly, and they are too lazy to rack their brains again.
In the past few days, Mrs. Qu has not looked at the shops, they are all opened on the streets with the most prosperous business, but in this way, the shops are naturally much more expensive, and she brought a lot of silver to the capital, but it is not so sufficient.
In the end, she accepted Ling Xiaorou's suggestion, and simply used the shop where Ling Xiaorou sold lo-mei before, and the rent was calculated according to the price of a normal shop in the capital, Ling Xiaorou didn't want Mrs. Qu to feel that she was taking advantage of Ling Xiaorou, no matter how close she was, she was not a mother and daughter, and she always had to calculate it clearly.
Ling Xiaorou had always been troubled why others gave her the shop without even asking for money, but after living in the palace for a while, she finally figured it out, in fact, the owner of the shop was the person sent by Li Xun, as for the purpose...... must have not been well-intentioned, but he was recognized by He Louyu, and the shop did not end well.
In Ling Xiaorou's opinion, Li Xun has completely lost the mystery he had when he first met him in the palace, and when he took off his dragon robe, he was a little brain-pumping, a little crazy, and a little self-righteous.
Obviously, he can't fight the brothers of the He Lou family, and he always wants to be stunned when he has nothing to do, and he can't understand why He Louyuan had to support him to ascend the throne in the first place?
Later, after listening to He Louyu's words, Ling Xiaorou always had the illusion that He Louyuan was pulling out a big man in the palace, and the remaining princes were hostile to Ningyuan Palace, in contrast, Li Xun, who had no backer and an unstable foundation, and tried his best to make friends with Ningyuan Palace, became the best candidate, which was also quite helpless.
The location of the shop is very good, and it has also made a reputation, and it is certain to be noticed before it opens, as long as the food sold is distinctive, it will definitely become popular.
Mrs. Qu is also quite satisfied after seeing the shop, originally wanted to open the shop into a beef noodle restaurant, but unfortunately the beef here in the capital is not as easy as Gao County, really opened a beef noodle restaurant, the cattle have to enter from a distance, the cost is inevitably high, the beef noodles are sold cheaply, it is not cost-effective, the best business is still the flower and fruit shop, the rich people in the capital are not comparable to Gao County, as long as the flower and fruit shop is opened, the silver will be a lot of money back.
Now Gaoxian Huaguofang has made a reputation, and the previous cook also brought out a few helpers, as long as she teaches her well, it is not difficult to transfer a shop to preside over Huaguofang, so the shop that sells lo-mei has happily changed into another Huaguofang.
After Huaguofang makes money, if it opens another shop, it will have more capital, which is not Ling Xiaorou's responsibility, although Mrs. Qu still decided to give Ling Xiaorou a thirty percent bonus, Ling Xiaorou didn't want to interfere too much in the Qu family's business.
After giving up looking for Tian Xiang in disappointment, Ling Xiaorou smiled at He Louyuan, "Can you accompany me to the mountain tomorrow?" ”
It would be good if I could take my eldest brother and Xiaoxi'er out to play together, but unfortunately my eldest brother has to go to court, and I have to be busy with official business, and Xiaoxi'er still has to study.
"Good!" He Louyuan, who was still in the back of his heart, suddenly became bright, no matter what he accompanied Ling Xiaorou to the suburbs to see, at least two people, and it was still in the wilderness, thinking about it was enough to make him feel better.
Well, the coachman can't take it, the next person can't take it, just two people!
He Louyuan is already planning for tomorrow, it's best not to go back to the city at night, and you can get along for a little longer, without the eye-catching guys in the house, it's best to let the eldest girl agree to marry into the door, the sooner the better!
Sending Ling Xiaorou back to the courtyard where she lived, Ling Xiaorou smiled and stopped her from wanting to follow up, looking at Ling Xiaorou's figure that disappeared into the door, He Louyuan swore that he must marry someone earlier.
Ningyuan Wangfu is very lively, he got up and was busy before dawn, especially Qu Hongan, who went to the palace to see the emperor for the first time, got up and put on the court clothes of Bangyan, and looked in the mirror again and again, although he had seen the emperor before, he was a little less in awe than others for the 'amiable' emperor, but after all, it was the first time to go to the Golden Palace, Qu Hongan inevitably had trembling legs and stomachs.
But thinking about the champion who seemed to have a problem with his brain, Qu Hongan felt that he had nothing to fear.
was sent outside the gate of Ningyuan Palace, Ling Feng was already waiting outside, and the entire Ningyuan Palace, he still needed to go to the early court, so he took Qu Hongan with him, so he could take care of it.
Watching Qu Hongan get on the horse, as Ling Feng and a few guards rushed to the palace, the young lady was both happy and bitter, and finally came out, and those concubines didn't follow, I hope he doesn't bring a few more women back.
As soon as Qu Hongan left, He Louyuan took Ling Xiaorou out of Ningyuan Wangfu in a carriage, it was still dark, and when he set off and walked to the city gate, the city gate was open, and they could go out of the city earlier.
There are two baskets on the car, all of which are all kinds of delicious ingredients, He Louyuan completely regards looking for Tianxiang as a date, and even pots and chopsticks and spoons, firewood, rice, oil and salt are ready, of course, the pot is just a small pot with two palms, and the bowl is also a small bowl, and the things are packed in the pot, and then put them in the basket It doesn't take up much space.
Ling Xiaorou wanted to say that she really came out to find spices, but seeing that He Louyuan was busy preparing things late last night, she didn't say anything to hit people.
When the carriage arrived at the city gate, the gate was slowly opening, and after a short wait it was out of the city.
Ling Xiaorou didn't know where Tian Xiang grows, and from Rong Wu, she only knew that Tian Xiang was a weed that only grew in the north, because the taste was too strong, even the chickens, ducks and geese raised at home didn't like to eat it, let alone a human.
The Rong family originally inadvertently discovered that Tian Herb could repel mosquitoes, so they would pick it back and dry it.
After drying, burn the cigarette and take it around the house to ensure that mosquitoes do not enter the house for many days. When the dried leaves are placed in a rice bucket, insects rarely grow in the rice, and the rice tastes like a herb with a unique aroma.
Tried to add herbs to the food, and finally achieved several celebrity chefs, and also earned a piece of the Rong family's family business, if it weren't for Rong Wu's study since childhood, this generation of Rong family's celebrity chefs would be Rong Wu.
Ling Xiaorou didn't know where Tian Herb grew, the Rong Wu family was not in the capital, he didn't know where Tian Herb was, and there was no goal left and right, He Louyuan simply drove the carriage to Wangma Mountain, which was closest to the capital.
Wangma Mountain is more than 20 miles away from the capital, there is a river under the mountain, there is a spring on the mountain, from the foot of the mountain upwards, until the roadside of the mountain is very easy to walk, the first choice for people in the capital to go on weekdays.
Just after the halfway up the mountainside, the mountain road is a little steep, and when it is close to the top of the mountain, it is even more difficult to walk, many people come to the green are just at the foot of the mountain to play by the river, at most it is to go halfway up the mountainside, few people climb up again.
The goal of He Louyuan's trip is to take Ling Xiaorou all the way to the top of the mountain, where people are inaccessible, and the scenery is even more beautiful and magnificent.
The most important point is that few people can climb up here, and it is only a place where there are two people, him and the big girl.
Ling Xiaorou didn't know He Louyuan's thoughts, so when He Louyuan tied the carriage to the edge of the forest at the foot of the mountain, he carried two baskets and took Ling Xiaorou up the mountain.
Ling Xiaorou is not very familiar with the suburbs of the capital, she has been out of the city with Aunt Wang once, but she did not come to Wangma Mountain, and she has not had time to come out to climb the mountain since then.
