Such intensity was like scratching an itch for him.
Fu Tingye didn't care at all, he was thinking about other things: It turns out that Lu Zhengqing has a wife... What is the intention of a woman who has a wife and still misses him? !
Thinking of the last time Lu Zhengqing and Hua Qingxue talked alone for so long, Fu Tingye felt unhappy.
No matter what the secret was, he couldn't accept Hua Qingxue being close to anyone of the opposite sex. Having Li Jingnan is enough to make him upset, so why is there another imperial doctor
This woman is really attracting bees and butterflies!
With this thought in his mind, he gave Hua Qingxue a dissatisfied look.
Hua Qingxue: "???"
Fu Tingye saw that her clear eyes were confused and a little soft-hearted. He felt that she couldn't be blamed for this, so who should be blamed? … Blame this Shengjing City! People's hearts are floating and the atmosphere is full of chaos! When is the best time to take her back to Qingzhou? No one wants to see her!
Hua Qingxue was confused by Fu Tingye's dissatisfied and pitiful eyes. If she could hear Fu Tingye's heartfelt voice, she would definitely jump up and shout: Don't be too mentally active!
The two sat in the hall for a while before Lu Zhengqing arrived.
Probably because he is a doctor by profession, even when he comes out of the kitchen, Lu Zhengqing looks fresh and clean, very elegant and warm.
"General Fu's visit has brought glory to the humble house. If there is any neglect, I hope the general will forgive him." Lu Zhengqing gave Fu Tingye a great gift.
Because Mrs. Lu had already told him, Lu Zhengqing did not show too much surprise.
"It's not necessary for Dr. Lu to be polite. I heard that my family was hosting a banquet for Si Bing's wife. I was worried, so I accompanied her here. After the meal, I asked Dr. Lu to check on Si Bing's wife again." Fu Tingye He said matter-of-factly.
Hua Qingxue felt quite embarrassed and could only smile stiffly. If this guy insists on coming, there is nothing she can do...
Lu Zhengqing was stunned and nodded, "Of course."
After saying the polite words, Lu Zhengqing took the two of them to the dining room.
Mrs. Lu and a little maid were placing dishes and chopsticks. There was a large copper pot in the center of the table. Steam was coming out of it, and the soup was almost boiling. On the side were various kinds of raw meat, vegetables, and toppings.
Hua Qingxue immediately laughed, "It turns out to be hot pot!"
Hot pot was not a rarity in ancient times. In fact, as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, people cooked and ate various meats in a special tripod, which was called Wen Ding, which was the prototype of hot pot. In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it was even more remarkable. Various pot bottoms with different flavors were developed.
However, modern hot pot has been improved, and the dipping ingredients are much richer than in ancient times.
Of course Fu Tingye has also eaten hot pot, but he is not as sophisticated as today. There are more than ten kinds of dipping sauces on the table, such as sesame sauce, sesame oil, chopped coriander, chopped green onions, chopped peanuts, chive flowers, fermented bean curd juice, and mushroom sauce. Etc., etc.
Hua Qingxue was so moved. Lu Zhengqing had spent a lot of energy preparing this hot pot meal.
After discovering that the bottom of the pot was a mandarin duck pot, Hua Qingxue was moved by the scene and missed it even more... Although she and Lu Zhengqing were not from the same era, the mandarin duck pot is a classic in hot pot and is very popular regardless of the period.
"Where did you get the chili peppers?" Hua Qingxue was very surprised to see the chili peppers floating on the surface of the spicy soup.
Although Daqi has imported foods such as corn and potatoes, she has never seen peppers before. When people eat spicy food, they use Cornus officinalis as a seasoning. The taste of Cornus officinalis is also spicy, but the spiciness is not as mellow and refreshing as that of chili peppers.
Lu Zhengqing said with a smile: "I accidentally got some seeds from an overseas businessman last year. Mu Yu and I planted them in the medicine garden, and they have grown into a large area recently."
Mrs. Lu's surname is Luo, and her name is Mu Yu.
The ancients usually called their wives bitches and clumsy to outsiders, but Lu Zhengqing still retained the modern habit of calling her by her first name.
Hua Qingxue looked at them with bright eyes, "Can you sell me some?"
Mrs. Lu pursed her lips and smiled, "That thing can't be sold usually. If Miss Hua wants it, just take it. It's free of charge."
Lu Zhengqing also laughed sheepishly, "I originally wanted to promote it, but the people here are not used to eating chili peppers. Some people with gastrointestinal problems have diarrhea after eating them. They thought what I was selling was poison, and they almost made me eat it. lawsuit."
"Ah... that's such a pity..." Hua Qingxue looked regretful. She can't eat spicy food very well, but she still feels very satisfied if she eats it once in a while.
"It's not a pity. The popularization of species does not happen overnight."
Just like corn, Daqi has introduced it for many years, but there are still many state capitals that do not have such a crop. The reason here has to do with both the people's ability to accept new things and the lack of support from Daqi's land tax policy.
Lu Zhengqing has been traveling through time longer than she has, and his mentality has long since calmed down. "Those peppers are not completely useless now. Nowadays, except for occasional cooking at home, the rest are all used as traditional Chinese medicine."
Hua Qingxue asked curiously: "Can pepper be considered a traditional Chinese medicine?"
Lu Zhengqing nodded, "It can warm the middle and lower the qi, dispel cold and remove dampness, relieve depression and eliminate phlegm."
Madam Lu, Luo Muyu, smiled and added: "It can also cure frostbite."
After that, he looked at Lu Zhengqing with starry eyes, full of admiration and admiration. His eyes seemed to say: My husband knows everything, he is really the most powerful person in the world!
Hua Qingxue was amused by Mrs. Lu, and she could tell that the relationship between the couple was very good.
People at the table were chatting happily and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Fu Tingye had already put a chopstick into the spicy soup while they were talking. Well... it was really spicy.
He silently put down his chopsticks and decided not to eat the food in the spicy soup again...
Fu Tingye picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the drink in the cup. It felt sour and sweet and appetizing, and it was a good relief from the spicy food.
"Is this sour plum soup?" Hua Qingxue was very engaged in chatting with the Lu family, "Sour plum soup goes best with spicy hotpot!"
"Well, I did it." Luo Muyu glanced at Lu Zhengqing and said proudly, "My husband taught me how to do it."
She once again exuded: My husband is the best! My husband is awesome! My husband's fried chicken is good! Waiting for such breath.
Although Lu Zhengqing enjoyed his young wife's trust and admiration for him, after all, there were guests here, so he was inevitably a little embarrassed.
He coughed twice awkwardly and said, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables..."
…
After finishing the hot pot, the men went to the front hall to drink tea and talk, while the women stayed to clean up the mess.
As a guest, Hua Qingxue naturally did not need to do anything, but she was not interested in the men's chat topics, so she simply stayed in the dining room and asked Luo Muyu enthusiastically how to make sour plum soup.
Luo Muyu only had one maid to help her, and most of the things she did were done by herself. Hua Qingxue was afraid that she would have to work hard, so she also helped her clean up.
"Everything is expensive in Shengjing. My family can't afford to support too many servants, and my husband is not used to having people waiting for him in a place where he lives. He tries his best to do everything by himself." Luo Muyu explained with a smile.
Hua Qingxue nodded. It seemed that Lu Zhengqing, like her, was not used to being served by others.
Cleaning, running errands, and looking after the door are fine, but it feels really weird to have servants to do things like eating, drinking, and dressing.
"We save some, and the money we save can be used to buy medicinal materials and make them into medicines." Luo Muyu seemed to be very proud of Lu Zhengqing, saying, "My husband has made many medicines, the effect is very good, and the price is very cheap. The Baicao Hall here is owned by my family."
"Mr. Lu is so amazing..." Hua Qingxue praised from the bottom of her heart.
I remember when she traveled through time, the first thing she thought about was how to eat well and live well, sell tea and dorayaki, and see other high-end doctors! As soon as you travel through time, you can make medicine to save lives and heal the wounded. How great!
Luo Muyu pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss Hua is also very powerful."
She looked around and saw that the maid had gone to wash the dishes and there was no one else around. She lowered her voice and whispered to Hua Qingxue: "He told me before that there was a powerful weapon that could blow even mountains to the ground. I was I still don’t believe it, I didn’t expect such a weapon to exist! Miss Hua, you are so powerful!”
Hua Qingxue smiled and rolled her eyes, and asked her, "What kind of things does Dr. Lu often tell you?"
Luo Mu shook his head shyly, "I pestered him to ask, but he couldn't resist me and told me. He said that there is a four-wheeled vehicle that can run very fast, a hundred times faster than a carriage! Oh, oh, oh, also What kind of chicken can carry people flying in the sky..."
As she was talking, she didn't know what she thought of, but her face turned red, "He also said that people there are monogamous, so... he will never take a concubine... "
"Hahahahaha!..." Hua Qingxue couldn't help it, covered her mouth and laughed wildly, thinking that Mrs. Lu was so interesting!
Lu Zhengqing is really marrying a treasure if he can marry her!
Seeing her laughing, Luo Muyu blushed even more, "Miss Hua, what my husband said...is all true?"
"Really, it's all true!" Hua Qingxue wiped the tears of laughter from her eyes and asked, "You two have such a good relationship, why don't you want a child?"
Luo Muyu was very embarrassed, "... I might have a baby in the next two years. A few years ago, he said that I was too young to have a baby."
This is true. Girls here in Daqi usually get engaged when they are fourteen years old or later. When they get married around sixteen years old, isn't that too young in the eyes of doctors? The organs are not fully developed.
Hua Qingxue said: "The children you give birth to will definitely be very cute!"
Luo Muyu smiled sweetly, "Well, thank you."
…
In the hall, Fu Tingye and Lu Zhengqing were sitting at the square table drinking tea. The atmosphere was not relaxed.
The laughter of women could be heard from outside from time to time.
Fu Tingye glanced at the door. Although he couldn't see Hua Qingxue's figure, he could still feel her joyful mood.
It's really strange. When she accompanied him back to the Marquis Mansion for the flower banquet, she was obviously very reserved, but when she came to Lu Zhengqing's house, she seemed to be very relaxed...
She also chatted happily while eating hot pot...
She and Lu Zhengqing had just met, so why was there a sense of intimacy in every conversation
This feeling made Fu Tingye very inexplicable and uncomfortable.
He didn't want to worry about unnecessary things, so he reluctantly ignored the unhappiness in his heart and asked Lu Zhengqing: "What exactly is her illness? Will it relapse in the future?"
