Yu Jinnian is still struggling with the issue of Li Guogong's surname Ji and Wang, and the girl Xueqiao over there has already finished eating a piece of ice skin moon ball stuffed with lotus paste.
Lotus paste is Yu Jinnian's specialty stuffing. It takes a big plump white lotus seed, removes the bitter core, and boils it in water for a long time. When the lotus seed meat is soft and rotten, take it out and use a stone mortar to grind it into mud, sieve it repeatedly, and then add honey , sweet-scented osmanthus and seed oil, and then sprinkle a small spoonful of salt grains - as the saying goes, "salt can induce sweetness", adding a little salt to sweet lotus seed paste can enrich the taste and make the taste of lotus seed paste more mellow - then stir well Stir-fry the stuffing mud slowly over low heat until the stuffing is dry and wet, and then it can be used to knead dough.
The lotus seeds are sweet and astringent in nature, can protect essence, invigorate stomach deficiency, and calm the mind. It is also a good health food. The lotus paste with sweet-scented osmanthus is even more fragrant and pleasant, with endless aftertaste.
After Xueqiao finished eating, she nodded in satisfaction, took another sip of tea, and then said: "It's been a long time since I ate such authentic lotus paste moon balls. It reminds me of the naughty days at home, when My family is rich, so I don’t think these lotus seed paste pancakes are good things, and I have thrown away a lot of them, and now I think about it, it’s really wasteful.”
She smiled, but her eyes became more and more sad: "You have done so much, and I can't finish it by myself. Why don't you give it to my sisters to taste." The moon group went downstairs.
Qing Huan blinked at Yu Jinnian, made a face, and ran away with the food box in her arms.
There were only the two of them in the room, and a faint green smoke rose from the hollow gourd incense burner on the table. Seeing Qing Huan walking away, Yu Jinnian asked Chi Chi, "Sister Xueqiao, what do you want me to do?"
Only then did Xueqiao get up, and took out a small bundle from a wooden box under the bed, and then took out a jade bracelet from the dowry box. The jade bracelet is clear and translucent, with a long water head and a green green color. It is the first-class jade material at first glance. She put these two things on the table, and took out a beautiful money bag. She didn't need to open it, just by the sound of the heavy bag falling on the wooden table, she could guess that there must be a lot of money in it.
But Yu Jinnian still thought about it, when Xueqiao opened the purse, he opened his mouth in shock - it was actually a small bag of gold and silver! More silver than gold, full of money, but just like that, it is already the most valuable thing Yu Jinnian has ever seen.
With this posture, could it be that he took out all his belongings
Xueqiao had a calm demeanor, and she didn't feel any reluctance to give up because of the money. She bowed to Yu Jinnian and said, "Xueqiao really wants to ask Brother Nian for help."
Yu Jinnian hurriedly stood up: "Young lady, just say it."
Xueqiao said: "To tell you the truth, my family used to be a well-to-do family, but something happened and I ended up living here. A few days ago, I asked someone to find out that my parents have already..." She lowered her head and touched her. With tears in his eyes, he took a deep breath and continued, "I am in a place of right and wrong, with many helplessness and many restrictions. This Yicui Pavilion is easy to enter and difficult to exit, so I want to trouble Brother Nian and help Xue Qiao found a clean place and set up a tomb for my family, which can be regarded as fulfilling my filial piety as a daughter."
I thought it was a big event, but it was just a ceremony at Lizhong, Yu Jinnian hurriedly comforted me, and agreed: "If Miss Xueqiao believes in me, I will help her, but even if you ask Mr. Yinyang to find a piece of Fengshui Treasure land, it’s really not worth so much money.”
Xueqiao shook her head: "It's unavoidable to do things left and right. Besides, it takes money to buy incense altars, melons and fruits, and to break ground and monuments. If it's not used up by then, Brother Nian will just pay me back."
Yu Jinnian is not a person who is greedy for other people's money. It's just that Xueqiao's words are for this sake, so he can't say anything more. Although he still has some unexplainable doubts about Xueqiao's request, he can only nod his head first. Regarding this matter, he asked her in detail what requirements she had.
Saying goodbye to Xueqiao, Yu Jinnian picked up the baggage and money and went downstairs to find Qinghuan. No matter what, he had to get back the only food box in their noodle shop that was acceptable! The singing and dancing downstairs was over, and the entire Yicui Pavilion was inexplicably clean. Only then did Yu Jinnian realize that he had talked to Xueqiao for so long before he knew it. It seems that there are too many words today.
It's past noon now, not to mention the Yicui Pavilion, even the wine shops and restaurants in the market should have sold out their alcohol, and they are ready to tear down Wangzi and go home for the festival.
Having been here for so long, wondering how the noodle shop is doing, and whether Ji Hong can hurry over, Yu Jinnian thought and hurried down the stairs. The little prostitutes in the audience were gathering together, eating the snowy moon balls he brought, and when they saw him coming down, they refused to let him go, and chatted with him.
"Is this Brother Nian, such a handsome little official, no wonder he caught the eyes of sister Xueqiao."
"I heard that brother Nian can not only cook, but also knows medicine. Please show me, my little official. I always feel itchy on my hands recently. What's the matter?" The person who spoke was a young man with ten fingers painted red. The prostitute, who hasn't opened her face yet, is the fresh and slim Cardamom Nianhua, who is stretching out her hand for Yu Jinnian to touch.
"It must be a stroke, hit her twice." A little prostitute slapped her hand, and the two laughed.
"You are the one who owes it, come here, let me love you!"
A few people pushed and played, and Yu Jinnian was trapped in it, surrounded by scented powder and fluttering thin sleeves, as if he had stabbed a butterfly's nest. He was worrying about how to get out, when he suddenly heard a crash not far away, as if someone knocked something over.
Yu Jinnian stood on tiptoe and looked downstairs, there were some calligraphy and painting books scattered on the floor, a lame maid fell to the ground, when she raised her face, Yu Jinnian saw a red round birthmark on her right cheek, which took up almost half of her face .
"Oh, it's unlucky, what are you doing out here when you're so ugly? Don't scare others!"
The little maid shook her shoulders when she heard the words, but still kept her head down to pick up the object without saying a word.
The girls all turned their heads to watch the excitement. Yu Jinnian put his hands on the railing and swept his clothes, only to hear the exclamation of the young prostitutes around him, he lifted his legs sassyly, and jumped straight down, waiting to be picked up. After getting the food box, he ran away, and the lame little servant girl who had just stood up behind her seemed to be pushed again, and then began to whimper.
The pusher looked down at her, and was startled: "Ah, what's wrong with your eyes, you saw something you shouldn't see, and you have needle eyes!"
The little maid also knew she was ugly, and she didn't want anything on the ground, so she hurriedly covered her eyes and hurried to leave, but she just bumped her head into Yu Jinnian's body.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." She raised her head, and saw a tall and straight young gentleman, her ears and cheeks blushed, and she turned her head away.
Yu Jinnian suddenly reached out and grabbed her: "Wait a minute!"
The little maid shuddered in fright: "I, I'm not a listed girl, really not..."
"I know." Yu Jinnian smiled, "Is your eyes uncomfortable? I can treat it for you."
"Really?" She looked eagerly at Yu Jinnian, her tone was eager, but after a while she became depressed again, "But I... I have no money to hire a doctor, nor money to buy medicine."
Yu Jinnian said: "No medicine, just an embroidery needle."
"Ah?" The little maid thought she had heard it wrong, and asked doubtfully, "Embroidery needles?"
Other prostitutes also rushed over: "Is it true that an embroidery needle can cure a needle's eye? Last time, sister Hongling upstairs took the medicine for a whole week! And her eyes are so swollen that she can't see anyone."
Although the little maid looks plain and has red spots covering her face, she still cherishes her skin very much. She has seen Hongling get a needle eye, and the sick eye is red, swollen and painful. Eyes will rot! She was taken away from her own house by a kidnapper. Although she was young at that time, she couldn't remember which house she came from, and she couldn't even remember the appearance of her biological parents. Cui Pavilion, but still has expectations in his heart, thinking that one day he will be able to escape from the sea of suffering and go home.
Thinking that if her eyes are rotten, her parents think she is ugly and they don't want her, she suddenly feels cold all over her body, crying in fear while tugging at Yu Jinnian's cuffs: "I'll cure it! As long as the eyes don't rot, I can do anything!"
Yu Jinnian can't laugh or cry, it's just a stye, although the current medical level is not as good as that of later generations, and there are many misdiagnosis and misdiagnosis, but it is not possible to rot his eyes. He carefully checked the little maid's eyes, there was a hard lump under the left eye, slightly red and swollen, it should be the beginning of a sty, and the little maid herself said that it was only two days after getting this thing, but it was sore and itchy, and she didn't dare to rub it alley.
After the diagnosis, Yu Jinnian turned to the other onlookers and said, "Please get me two embroidery needles, the needles must not be rusty, they must be wiped clean, and then a bowl of spirits, and a small piece of washed cloth. Everything has to be boiled in boiling water.”
The two little prostitutes rushed to prepare things, the one who boiled the water, the one who poured the wine... The spectators still gathered around Yu Jinnian to watch the fun.
Not long after, everything was ready, Yu Jinnian let the little maid sit on the round stool, half bent over and rubbed her helix, driving the blood from the ear to the tip of the ear, speeding up the local blood flow, until the whole ear was red and seemed to be ripe Like an apple, he wiped his ears with a cloth ball dipped in spirits, and then took the boiled and sterilized needle, flicked it on the candle, and quickly pierced the acupuncture point on the tip of the ear.
The little maid's ears were already numb from Yu Jinnian's pinching, and she didn't feel any pain when the needle tip went in. She just felt that her whole ear was burning hot, as if it was on fire. She sat upright even more nervously, not daring to move, for fear of making a mess Moved, the needle did not have eyes, and poked his own eyes.
Pierce the tip of the ear, then squeeze the surrounding area hard, let out a few drops of blood, and wipe it off with a cloth soaked in spirits—the spirits are used to prevent the wound from clotting on its own and ensure smooth bleeding—continue to release it again, and repeat this several times, The same goes for the tip of the opposite ear.
A group of little prostitutes stared at Yu Jinnian without blinking, it was both novelty and fun.
Yu Jinnian threw the blood-stained cloth ball into the waste bowl and said, "Okay."
"Okay?" The little servant girl blinked, turned her eyes to look around, and said happily, "It's amazing, it really doesn't hurt or itch anymore!"
The other prostitutes carefully looked at the little maidservant's eyes, the pinprick was clearly still there, and they suddenly suspected: "It's true, it's not a lie to us!"
The little maid hurriedly defended: "Really! Now I just feel an eyesore and discomfort, but it really doesn't hurt anymore."
Yu Jinnian washed his hands, and told the other prostitutes that if they continue to use these two needles, they must boil them for a while. Turning around, seeing the group of little girls chattering together, he interjected and explained: "The medical book says' Those with excess blood should be cured. That is to say, acupuncture and bloodletting can be used for symptoms of qi and blood congestion. The heat can be relieved, and the swelling can be cured by itself. This method can cure the disease like medicine, but it is just a small skill. Do not eat spicy and greasy things for these two days, and do not touch the affected area when you wipe your face, the swelling in the eyes will subside soon."
This stye, also known as stealing needles or eye of needles in medical books, is mostly caused by exogenous wind-heat entering the interior, following the meridians, accumulating in the eyelids, and becoming swollen. The therapy of ear tip bloodletting is to dredge the sun meridian, so that the stagnant qi and blood can be unblocked. It has been tried and tested repeatedly for the initial stye.
Yu Jinnian was about to leave with a food box when a prostitute in a water-blue dress came running with a wine jar in her arms. She pushed the wine jar into Yu Jinnian's arms and said angrily, "I don't know if Brother Nian has prepared wine at home. Right now, all the restaurants are closed for the holidays, and this jar of newly brewed rouge drunk will be used as a consultation fee for brother Nian! So brother Nian is kind enough to show me."
Yu Jinnian's eyes lit up when he heard that he was drunk with rouge.
If there is anything in Yicui Pavilion that really attracts Yu Jinnian, it is really the wine that everyone praises endlessly. I heard that this wine is fragrant, sweet but not spicy. Come to Yicui Pavilion just for this jar of wine.
Yu Jinnian hugged the wine jar, swallowed, and silently retracted the step forward.
Unexpectedly, the prostitute in blue wanted Yu Jinnian to show her the acne on her forehead, and finally asked how to whiten and rejuvenate her skin, and how to maintain her figure.
Seeing that Yu Jinnian can not only cure diseases, but also know how to make people look beautiful, it's amazing! The little prostitutes are all lively and beauty-loving masters, seeing that he likes rouge and getting drunk, they all ran back to the room to bring out the wine they had secretly stashed, and bribed Yu Jinnian to make fun of them too.
Everyone said something to each other, so that Yu Jinnian tasted several kinds of fresh wines, such as rouge drunk, lotus tears, or pine mash, Luo Fuchun, it really sounded greedy, like heaven and earth, and I don't know where to go place.
He was at ease here, but he forgot that there was a beautiful man at home with a broken neck.
At this time, the front of the Yicui Pavilion suddenly became lively again, and a new guest came in surrounded by several girls. The man's hair was only tied up with a jade-colored headband. After entering with a serious face, he didn't take two steps. He leaned forward to support the porch, bowed his head and stroked his chest, panting and coughing. The girl who came to welcome the guests felt a little disgusted. He was sick and tired, but he raised his eyes to see this man's face, immediately covered his teeth and chuckled, and replied shyly: "Why is Enke in such a hurry, come in and have a rest... Lan'er, go and sing!"
A group of prostitutes huffed and dispersed to fetch the zither and pipa and play exquisite ditties.
The flower girl went to hold the man's hand: "What kind of girl does Enke like? We..."
"open."
Hua Niang felt a sudden chill all over her body, facing the man's cold eyes, she hastily withdrew her hand.
If you don't want a girl, then what are you doing in Yicui Pavilion
The man said: "I came to find a person, he came to deliver food to you, but he didn't come back, what did you do to him?"
If it was usual for such a troublemaker, Hua Niang would have asked someone to throw him out, but now, because of his good looks, she temporarily suppressed the emotion of kicking people, and said disdainfully: "We will come here one day. There are more than a dozen food delivery men, who knows who you are talking about?"
The man frowned, and his eyes gradually became dark.
"...Ji Hong?"
Ji Hong turned his head when he heard the sound, and the gloom around him dissipated in an instant. The head protruding from the skirts of a group of girls was none other than his vegetable delivery man who had gone all afternoon and never returned!
He took a few steps forward, and the young man also turned around, lying on the back of the chair with blurred eyes, resting his chin with one hand, and waving at him with the other hanging on the back of the chair, and shouted with a smile: "Yes!" Ah Hong!"
Ji Hong's heart skipped a beat, and he went over to hold the young man's hand. Seeing that the young man was safe and sound, he finally swallowed his heart hanging in his throat, but seeing a few small wine jars lying on the table, he immediately frowned and said, "Are you drinking?" gone?"
"A little bit, sweet, do you have a taste?" Yu Jinnian let go of the back of the chair, and hung on Ji Hong's body in a blink of an eye, "Are you looking for me, are you tired?" He moved his buttocks to leave half Chair surface, "You sit down."
The young prostitutes moved another chair, went to La Jihong with a smile, and pushed him to sit: "Come here, come here, sit here, and we will sing you a tune. We can all sing."
Yu Jinnian grabbed him and said angrily, "Don't listen!"
Ji Hong looked down at him.
Yu Jinnian tugged at his sleeve to prevent him from sitting in the chair surrounded by many brides, but forgot that he was surrounded by Ji Hong just now. The Yicui Pavilion is surrounded by red and green, fragrant and misty, and even the light is dim and dim, so that the faces of each individual are blurred. Ji Hongli was among a group of beauties, and he was even more graceful and handsome, like a pearl in the East China Sea. Compared with others, Ji Hongli was really pissed off. The little prostitutes who were clinging to him just now all ran behind Ji Hong.
"Okay, I'll let you listen!" Yu Jinnian reached out for his things, not forgetting to take away the jar of Rougezui that was his medical fee.
Seeing that he was really angry, Ji Hong himself lost his anger. Instead, his eyes calmed down, and he said amusedly, "Then should I listen or not?"
Yu Jinnian glared at Ji Hong because of choking, and walked out.
A group of prostitutes giggled and whispered to each other: "Who boiled vinegar? Turn off the fire, it will kill you."
Ji Hong couldn't help being happy, his eyes softened unconsciously, he quickly caught up with Yu Jinnian, took a burden from the young man, and the two walked out of Yicui Pavilion one after the other. After drinking, Yu Jinnian always felt hot. He rolled up his sleeves and opened his neckline, but Ji Hong stopped him and said, "It's cold, be careful of the wind."
"But I'm hot." Yu Jinnian was dissatisfied.
The boy's cheeks were pink and tender, and there was a tinge of red at the base of his ears, making him look extraordinarily delicious. Ji Hong tried the side of his neck with the back of his hand, and he felt a little hot, and said, "Who told you to drink indiscriminately? It has the effect of boosting yang. It will only be hot for a while, and it will be fine when the alcohol dissipates."
Yu Jinnian squinted and said: "Listen to this, you are a regular customer!"
Ji Hong paused slightly: "Although he was taken there, he never did anything."
"You really want to." Yu Jinnian looked down, glanced at the man's lower body, and asked secretly, "Is it 'impossible'?"
Ji Hong: ...
It seemed that Yu Jinnian was finally happy with Ji Hong's action, but he was not happy for a while, Ji Hong climbed up the pole and asked: "Then what Mr. Yiyu means is that there is a way to make Ji "able" '? If that's the case, I need to bother Mr. Yu to give Ji a diagnosis and treatment tonight."
Yu Jinnian: ... Why did he provoke this person just now
Go out of Qingliu Street and walk through a winding alley. Autumn is crisp and clear, and there is no cloud in the sky. Suddenly, I heard the sound of carts being dragged on the gravel road, and someone yelled: "crabs, crabs full of fat..."
Yu Jinnian hurriedly interrupted the topic, called the strong man pushing the cart, and bought a net of fat and fat crabs.
Seeing that it was Yu Jinnian, the other party sent another crate of shrimps, and Yu Jinnian recognized that this person was Qian Da, who made a living from fishing on the Jinping Wharf outside the city. A few months ago, when Yu Jinnian went to the wharf to buy fish, he cured Qian's eldest son's abdominal pain.
The two chatted for a while, and Yu Jinnian and Ji Hongcai returned to the noodle restaurant with the crab jar.
In the noodle restaurant, Suisuizheng and Erniang are throwing sandbags, small peanut-sized sandbags, which Erniang sewed. Yu Jinnian conceded defeat after playing two games with her, and went back to the back kitchen to cook the reunion dinner.
Naturally he didn't dare to drink the wine given to him by the prostitutes in Yicui Pavilion, but he was reluctant to throw it away and hid it under the bed in his own room.
Ji Hong also came to the kitchen to help.
Yu Jinnian hummed a tune he heard from Yicui Pavilion, humming out of tune without realizing it, he picked out two fat crabs from the net, threw them into the pond to wash them, threw the water away, and chopped them up. Chop into pieces and drop into the pot. Sauté the ginger and scallions in a pot until fragrant, then add salt and soy sauce and stir-fry until the crab’s green shell turns red and pour in the cooking wine, the aroma will overflow, and the smell will make people’s noses itch.
Ji Hong washed the radishes and listened to Yu Jinnian humming.
The so-called Jiangshangqiu Gao crab is fat, just a little bit of crab roe, which can make people drool. After the fried crabs came out, Yu Jinnian picked up another seven or eight raw crabs, weighed them with his hands, and then threw them into the pot to steam. After all, fresh crabs are steamed with no oil and salt, and the original taste is the most delicious. juice.
"I was in Yicui Pavilion today, and I heard them tell the story of Concubine Ji." Yu Jinnian narrowed his eyes and smiled, the carrot in Ji Hong's hand slipped out, fell into the water basin and splashed him all over.
"It turns out that the imperial concubine's surname is Ji..."
Ji Hong felt a chill behind him, he looked back, the boy didn't have any strange emotions, he was still chopping vegetables happily, there were already shredded ginger, green onion, dried bamboo shoots on the table, the basket given by Qian Da The dried shrimps were all washed, but he felt inexplicably that at this moment, Yu Jinnian, who was "happy", was emitting a dark and sinister aura.
But the boy who is black and angry is still very cute.
"Actually," Ji Hong sent the washed radish to Yu Jinnian's chopping board from behind. The boy raised the knife and chopped the radish into two halves with a click. , said in a low voice, "My surname is Wang."
... I believed in your evil!
Yu Jinnian was sharpening his knife, ready to cut the ice into smoothies.
Ji Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, pressed down on the boy's hand, and stroked it lightly: "Do you really want to know?"
Yu Jinnian said: "My lord, a man's head and a woman's waist will be bad if you touch it. Let go quickly, I still want to grow taller."
Hearing him call himself "Prince", Ji Hong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "That's pretty good, don't grow up." As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Jinnian rolled his eyes, Ji Hong said, "Actually, it's okay to say it."
Yu Jinnian suddenly didn't want to hear it anymore, he felt that he was as fickle as an eel. The young man didn't speak, and Ji Hong didn't know what he was thinking. Rather than saying that he was ready to confess, it was better to say that he was testing Yu Jinnian's reaction.
But at this time, Yu Jinnian started to cook the dishes. He put the shredded vegetables, pickled melon and shredded chicken into the pan and stir-fried them with sesame oil for a while. As soon as the dishes changed color, he took them out of the pan and put them on a plate to make a dish. Melon.
齑 has the meaning of mixing. The shredded cabbage is entangled with the shredded cabbage, and no one can tell who is which. Yu Jinnian picked up the bamboo chopsticks, tasted a few of them, and thought they were not bad, so he also picked up a chopsticks and fed it to Ji Hong, asking, "Do you dislike it or not?"
Ji Hong opened his mouth and squeezed it, and swallowed it: "I don't dislike it."
"I don't dislike you either." Yu Jinnian rolled his eyes. Although he has some interest in Ji Hong, he really doesn't like stepping on people's painful feet and making people sad, and his intuition tells him that what Ji Hong is going to say next is a sharp knife in his heart .
The crabs were completely steamed, and the heat was against the lid of the pot. Yu Jinnian hurriedly put down his chopsticks, picked out a few, broke off the tips of his claws, pried open the crab shells, and patiently took out the crab meat inside bit by bit, and mixed them with pork stuffing , minced ginger, powdered sugar, plus Huadiao wine and floating pepper, mix together, fill it back into the crab shell, steam it in a pot, and finally top it with the sweet and spicy gravy made from the steamed crab soup.
Ji Hong recognized this dish, it's called Stuffed Crab Dou, the meat is fresh and the crab is delicious.
Yu Jinnian prepared a table of reunion dinner, looked up and saw that the sky was already dark, the sky in the distance was a little blush, migratory birds were returning to their nests, geese were flying south, and a laggard was flapping its wings slowly, passing over the head of a bowl of noodle shop . Yu Jinnian kept watching until the swan geese flew by, and his tilted head touched a solid chest. He raised his head, looked at Ji Hong's eyebrows from bottom to top, and asked, "Wait for 'Prince Wang' My illness is cured, can you take me to see the capital... "
Before he finished speaking, the shadow on his head suddenly became thicker, and a soft touch fell on his eyelids.
Suddenly everything was silent.
Yu Jinnian suddenly jumped up in fright, and hit Ji Hong's chin with his forehead, he couldn't care whether Ji Hong was in pain or not, and pointed at Ji Hong incoherently: "You, you, what are you doing—"
Ji Hong clutched his chin and stared at Yu Jinnian sadly. Seeing that he was about to run away, he grabbed him with his long hands and legs, and tucked him into his arms: "Mr. Yu, listen, Mr. Ji My heart doesn't seem to be feeling well either, can you give Zhizhi... Mr. Yu? Jinnian?"
— Yu Jinnian has short-circuited.
The author has something to say:
