Chapter 64: Yiyang City
"Yi'er, your father was drunk that day, did he say something to you?" Luo Jing asked a little embarrassed.
Ning Yi smiled slightly and said:
"No, where did Dad say anything? I'm concerned about you two elders. ”
At this time, Xiao Er brought a pot of spiritual tea and three plates of pastries.
"Yi'er, this osmanthus cake girl eats very delicious, you can eat a piece and try it. Luo Jing pointed to the osmanthus cake and said.
Hearing what Luo Jing said, Ning Yi picked up a piece of osmanthus cake casually, took a bite of it and said: "Well, this rich has the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, chew carefully, smooth and soft, soft and oily, soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy, fragrant and delicious."
There is also the fragrance of rice, oil wrapped in osmanthus fragrance, heavy and delicious and distinct, sweet aftertaste salty, fragrant glutinous with a trace of cool, the taste is very good. ”
Luo Jing heard Ning Yi say this, and her expression was still a little surprised: "Yi'er, it seems that you still have a lot of research on osmanthus cakes." ”
"Mother, my son has read a lot of books and learned. Mu Ningyi said
"Yi'er, do you know the origin and method of this osmanthus cake?" Luo Jing asked.
Ning Yi thought back to the books she had read before, and thought to herself: Let's just say some of them! I can't remember a lot now. On the 1510 said:
"This osmanthus cake is a delicious pastry made with glutinous rice flour, sugar and honey osmanthus flowers.
Delicious and refreshing, the method is simple, and there are various types to meet people's various needs for taste. And it has a beautiful historical legend, which adds to the historical value of osmanthus cake.
According to legend, the osmanthus flowers of Guihu Lake were picked by Yang Sheng'an from the Moon Palace.
And one night, Yang Sheng'an fell asleep in the study, Kui Xing fell asleep, and asked Yang Sheng'an if he wanted to go to the Moon Palace to win the laurel? Yang Sheng'an told him that he wanted to go.
So, Kui Xing ordered the Dragon King of the West Sea to fly Yang Sheng'an to the Moon Palace to pick up laurels. When he arrived at the Moon Palace, Yang Sheng'an saw a palace and a tall osmanthus tree, and he climbed up hard to pluck the cinnamon branches.
After waking up from a dream, after a period of time, Yang Sheng'an entered Beijing for the exam and won the top prize.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a vendor named Liu Jixiang in Xindu, who got inspiration from the study of the fragrant osmanthus flowers of the champion Yang Sheng'an.
Collect the fresh osmanthus flowers, squeeze out the bitter water, infiltrate them with sugar, and mix them with steamed rice flour, glutinous rice flour, cooked oil, and sugar, and sell them, and take the name osmanthus cake. ”
"It seems that this book is quite detailed, you just said so much, hurry up and drink spiritual tea. ”
Mu Ningyi drank three cups of spiritual tea in a row, and she just felt thirsty.
"Little Er, come here. Mu Ningyi beckoned to the shopkeeper and said.
The shopkeeper ran over and said:
"Here, Young Master Mu, do you need something?"
"You can bring me another pot of Ling Pu'er tea. Ning Yi said
"Okay, the little one will be arranged immediately, please wait a minute. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked away.
"Yi'er, try the horseshoe cake you eat. Luo Jing put a piece of horseshoe cake on Mu Ningyi's plate and said.
"Mother, eat more yourself!"
Ning Yi got up and handed a piece to Luo Jing, and ate the horseshoe cake himself.
"Well, this horseshoe cake, the color is tea yellow, translucent, it seems to be able to be folded but not cracked, pouting and continuous, soft, smooth, tough, smelling very sweet, eat a bite, feel the taste is sweet, a little melt in the mouth. ”
"Yi'er, you seem to know very well, is this from the book again?" Luo Jingda asked jokingly.
"Mother, you really guessed right, haha!" Mu Ningyi said with a smile.
"Then you can also talk about this head cake!" Luo Jing got up and put a piece of the head cake on Ning Yi's plate.
"Wait for me to take a sip of Lingpu'er tea to moisten my throat and then eat" Ning Yi ate the strip cake after drinking the tea, and said after taking a bite:
"This pastry tastes very elastic, made of glutinous rice on the outside and wrapped in bean paste filling on the inside, which is chewy and fragrant in the mouth.
"Yes! Yes, Yi'er, this is all the knowledge you usually get from reading more books, practice makes perfect. Luo Jing said happily.
"Mother, do I think? This person lives to learn all the time, so my daily time is full, and I will go back to reading more books when I have time. Mu Ningyi said.
"Yi'er, you agree with what you said, this person can't get carried away with his achievements with a little care, he is too arrogant, and he will only bring other people's eyes. Luo Jing said.
"Mother, my son understands, my master often educates me like this. Mu Ningyi remembered that the master had told herself like this before.
Luo Jing looked at the lively appearance outside, and said out loud:
"That's good! We've been sitting for a long time, and it's time to go elsewhere. ”
Ning Yi thought that he hadn't settled the bill yet.
"Xiao Er, come over here. Mu Ningyi beckoned to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper quickly walked up to Ning Yi and said:
"Here, Young Master Mu, may I ask you what's the matter?"
"How many spirit stones do you count? ”
The shopkeeper looked at the teapot and plate on the table and counted it and said:
"These two pots of spiritual tea are 20 spirit stones, plus this osmanthus cake is 20 spirit stones, the strip cake is 15 spirit stones, and the horseshoe cake is 15 spirit stones, a total of 70 spirit stones. ”
After listening to this, Ning Yi took out a bag of spirit stones from his waist and said:
"Here, there are 80 spirit stones here, no need to look for them. ”
"Thank you, thank you, Young Master Mu, thank you, Mrs. Mu!"
Luo Jing nodded with a smile and stood up.
"Mother, let me drink an extra cup of spiritual tea, so that I don't have to go back and eat spiritual rice. ”
"Okay! ”
Ning Yi got up and walked beside Luo Jing after drinking the spiritual tea.
Out of the gate of Wufu Building, Ning Yi saw that the place on the right corner was very lively.
"Wow! It's so lively over there! Mother, let's go over and have a look!"
"Well, let's go! Luo Jing was also a little curious now.
Coming to the lively crowd with laughter, Ning Yi squeezed through the crack of the crowd and saw that someone was giving a joke here.
I vaguely heard a man sitting on the stage say:
"You all thought it was funny, didn't you? I'll tell you something even funnier now.
Would you like to hear it?
If you want to hear it, please raise your hand............ Okay, so it seems that there are some people who want to hear it now, so I'll continue to tell you one more one. ”
Some of the people present shouted: "Speak, speak!"
Hearing someone urging him to speak, the man on the stage spoke up at this time:
"There is a woman in the West who likes the feeling of rain very much, and one day when she came home from a trip, it rained heavily, and she leaned on the window to look at the road downstairs, and there were few pedestrians on the road, most of them were on horseback.
A man suddenly appeared in his field of vision,
