Chapter 45: The Third Examination of the Master and Tai

I was embarrassed, I was embarrassed to take out the cosmetics I was holding in my bag, so I had to hand the book to Wanqing.

I said: "Senior sister, I haven't found the Kangxi Dictionary yet, you can use this "Shuowen Jiezi" and "Cihai" first." I said with a red face.

Shi Niang said again: "Your senior brother also bought you a set of cosmetics, Pi Yang, where are your cosmetics?"

Shi Niang is really, but what cosmetics are you mentioning at this time?

I didn't have three hundred taels of silver here, and said, "It's worthless, I just saw it, it's cold, and I bought a set for my wife and you."

I pulled the cosmetics out of my bag, placed them on the stone table and pushed them over.

Wanqing glanced at me, and there was shyness, gratitude, and a little hazy smile in her eyes.

She opened the ballet pearl cream, dipped a little and rubbed it on the back of her hand, which became whiter and more delicate.

I opened Xia Shilian alabaster again, dug a little and rubbed it on my face, and my face was more moisturized and fresh.

I opened the osmanthus perfume again, smelled it, and stretched the bottle to Shitai's nose like a treasure.

Mrs. Shi nodded and said, "Well, it smells good, it's about the same as your mother's osmanthus oil."

Mrs. Shi suddenly said to me with a tiger face: "Stinky boy! Did you come empty-handed again this time? I didn't blame you last time, this time your sister and your sister have gifts, my Le? ”

I never thought that Mrs. Shi would ask me like this, and when I bought it, I didn't think to buy something for Mrs. Shi at all.

My face turned red all of a sudden, and I rubbed my hands together in embarrassment: "This... That..."

Mrs. Shi deliberately said again: "What is this? Last time, I gave you all the treasures in the box, and you forgot about me, an old woman, completely? ”

Wanqing saw that I was speechless in embarrassment, so she hurriedly stuffed the ballet pearl paste into Mrs. Shi's hand: "Mrs. Shi, this is for you."

Mrs. Shi said with a straight face: "This is what the stinky boy bought for you, so I don't want it!"

Shi Niang hurriedly smiled and said: "It's not to blame Pi Yang, I forgot to bring the things he bought for Shi Tai when I left." ”

Mrs. Shi deliberately asked Mrs. Shi: "Oh, what did the stinky boy buy me?"

Shi Niang said: "It is Mrs. Shi's favorite yam to eat."

Mrs. Shi asked me, "Really?" I nodded.

The teacher said again: "Then tell me, what is the difference between this iron knapp yam and the iron stick yam?"

I looked at Shi Niang blankly, and Shi Niang sneered: "How does he know what iron crutches and iron rods are."

Mrs. Shi also smiled: "Xiaoqing, your mother has become a liar for your senior brother now."

Wanqing said coquettishly: "Okay, Mrs. Shi, let Senior Brother buy it for you." Tell me the difference between the iron knapp yam and the iron stick yam, I don't know. ”

Mrs. Shi said: "Okay, this Tiegui yam is also called Suling Yam, which is a specialty of Suling not far from Baofeng Rock.

The yam there has a history of more than 1,000 years and is a divine product among yams.

It is said that after Li Taibai left, Tie Guan Li of the Eight Immortals read Li Taibai's poems, and also traveled to Peach Blossom Lake, and then turned to Suling Village.

Seeing the beautiful mountains and rivers here and the fresh air, I was reluctant to leave.

The old lady Cao here is very hospitable, and when she saw a lame man from other places, she invited her to her home as a guest.

The old lady took out the good wine that had been treasured for many years, and used snowflake water to brew snowflake old roast to entertain him.

That Tie Guan Li is very good wine, and when he saw such a good wine, he even praised the good wine and drank it happily. After drinking the wine, I still haven't finished enjoying it.

The old lady explained that because there was no spring water in the land, it could only be brewed with snowflakes in winter, so it was scarce.

Tie Guan Li heard that there was no spring water in the local area, and the land was dry and dry, so he could not grow crops. In the event of a drought, it is difficult to even get water.

He knew that there was a dark river underneath it, but it was thick with rocks.

Tie Guan Li said that this is not difficult, so he used the iron crutch in his hand to hit the rock hard, smashing out a deep pit of more than a zhang, and the spring water gushed directly.

The villagers were overjoyed and built ninety-nine stone steps until the spring pool to get water, which is the "fairy well", which is still there.

Tie Guan Li saw that there was a lot of sand and little soil on the mountain here, so he gave them a mountain medicine in his arms to plant, saying that this yam was his constant thing, and it was full of food when he was hungry, and it would not be bad for a long time, and he would not be hungry for food.

Su Ling began to plant yams, because it was given by Tiegui Li, the yam was named Tiegui Li Yam, and after a long time, it became Tiegui Yam.

Later generations read it in white, and it was called an iron stick yam. ”

I asked, "Then why do you call the iron stick yam a Huai yam again?"

Mrs. Shi said: "The ancient Huaiqing Mansion also planted yams, which are slender and hard, resembling iron roots, and are called iron stick yams."

The Huai called Huai River is wrong, it should be Huaiqing's Huai, it can be dried into medicine, and the medicinal properties are long-lasting.

This Suling yam is also the Tiegui yam, which is the best to eat, and the medicine is not as good as Huaishan.

The meat of the yam is delicate, the texture is snow-white, it is not easy to gelatinize, and after making the soup, the soup color is clear and bright, and the taste is delicious.

Stewed with pork ribs, black chicken, shiitake mushrooms, fungus, hemp duck, etc., it is a good medicinal meal.

Long-term consumption has the functions of strengthening and nourishing the skin, replenishing deficiency and anti-aging, replenishing qi and nourishing blood, nourishing yin and yang, strengthening righteousness and dispelling evil.

It can also benefit the heart and calm the nerves, rather cough and asthma, delay aging, and live a long life.

Although this iron knapp yam is so good, just like our Wanqing, it is 'raised in the deep boudoir and no one knows', and this iron knapp yam is 'raised in the deep mountains and no one knows'. ”

Wan Qing shouted, "Master, why did you talk about me again?"

Mrs. Shi said, "Okay, don't talk about you, talk about your senior brother."

"Stinky boy, I'll test you with three questions. Eat a bowl of rice if you answer one question correctly, and if you can't answer three questions, you won't have food! ”

I suddenly became angry: "Mrs. Shi, you test me, but it must be what I have read, and what I haven't read doesn't count."

Mrs. Shi said, "Of course I will test what you have read, and you will recite to me the 56th chapter of the Tao Te Ching."

Mrs. Shi didn't play cards according to the routine, so I recited silently in my heart for a while, and then said:

"The wise man does not speak, and the man who speaks is not wise; If you don't say wisdom, it is said to be the same.

Plug the door and close the door, frustrate and resolve the dispute; With the light and dust, it is expensive for the world.

The saint is silent, the gentleman is silent; Take the body as the body, and the Taoist enlightens. ”

Shitai nodded: "You recite to me the "Meridian Chapter" of the "Yellow Emperor's Outer Classics".

I thought about it for a long time, and slowly backtracked:

Lei Gong asked Yu Qi Bo and said: The veins of the twelve meridians have an end and a beginning, and "Spirit" and "Su" are detailed in detail.

And the meaning of going head, belly, feet, and hands has not yet been clarified, and I am willing to finish it.

Qi Bo said: The hand three yang goes from the hand to the head, and the foot three yang goes from the head to the foot, which is the high one.

The three yin of the feet go from the feet to the abdomen, and the three yin of the hands go from the abdomen to the hands, which is the tendency of humility.

Yin and yang are inseparable, so the top and bottom welcome each other, high and low, and the cycle of day and night, the same flow and uncertain ears.

The husband is yin and yang, and the husband and wife of the human body are also.

Those who are qi and blood, the yin and yang of the human body.

If the husband advocates the woman, the woman will follow, and if the anger goes, the blood goes,

…………

"Okay, okay," Shitai interrupted me: "The last question: What is Kunlun Immortal Wine?"

"Kunlun Immortal Wine?" I was stunned for a moment, which book is this?

I said: "Kunlun Immortal Wine, is the Kunlun Mountain Immortal Wine?"

Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Wanqing, and Mrs. Shi all laughed.

Mrs. Shi said: "Stinky boy! It's also 'Peach Blossom Brewing'! You see, another liar! ”

Mrs. Shi asked Mrs. Shi again, "What things have you taught him now?"

Shi Niang said: "First "Shennong's Materia Medica", then "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon", "The Yellow Emperor's Outer Canon" He has just memorized it, and he has not yet explained it to him."

Mrs. Shi said: "Let him memorize these things first, don't be in a hurry to explain, his ancient literary background is better than Xiaoqing's."

"Memorizing it in your mind is like preparing bricks, stones, rafters and tiles before building a house, and it will naturally come in handy when you use it.

"You told Hu Sheng that you could tell him the Book of Changes, and Sun Simiao said: 'I don't know that the Book of Changes is not enough to be a doctor'.

"If you don't understand Yi, it's like building a house without drawings and principles, and it's useless to just prepare those bricks and stones.

"High-rise buildings start from the ground, and laying a good foundation is the most important thing."

Shi Niang nodded.

Mrs. Shi asked again, "What exercises did you teach him?"
