Chinese dining table

Chapter 801

Chapter 801

Yu Xiurong quickly helped Yunchu wrap his rotten head, touched Yunchu's forehead lightly with his hand and said, "This place will swell up, and we won't be able to see customers for four or five days."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Duke Ying's birthday is only two days away, so I should still go."

Yu Xiurong sighed and said, "Master Xuanzang also wants you to stay safe for the time being? Is that why you were beaten?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "No, Master Xuanzang thinks that I should be brave and diligent, and kill these useless old guys as soon as possible."

Yu Xiurong frowned and said: "He is a monk, how could he be so murderous? This doesn't sound like what Master Xuanzang said."

Yun Chu didn't explain anymore, gentle, Di Renjie and the others looked at things from a completely different angle from Yu Xiurong's and Master Xuanzang's.

Yun Chu, gentle, Di Renjie was completely intimidated by Li Ji's reputation as a military god maintained for decades, and always felt that in a moment, Chang'an would be piled up like a mountain of corpses and blood would flow like a river.

Such a scene was definitely not what Yunchu and the others wanted, because they knew that Li Ji could indeed do this kind of thing.

Master Xuanzang is different here. He looks at Li Ji with the mentality of a superior. Therefore, the conclusions he draws are quite different from others.

Yun Chu was hit with a stick, and this stick completely wiped out his fear of Li Ji.

Especially after hearing that Li Ji started to prolong his life and search for the method of longevity, the image of the mighty military god of the Tang Empire collapsed in Yunchu's heart.

He always thought that Li Ji was the pride of the Chinese people, and he was the kind that should not be desecrated. It was the existence of a character like him that made the originally arrogant and brutal foreigners have to bow down at the feet of the Han people time and time again.

Such a person has merit in the present age and benefits in the future...

Therefore, after being awakened by Xuanzang's stick, his feelings for Li Ji became a mess, from the respect he had for this hero when he was studying a long time ago, to the admiration after seeing this person in Datang, and then Slowly turned into fear, until now pity.

It took Yunchu many years to accumulate respect and admiration, but it took Yunchu many years to accumulate it, and it took lightning to move from fear to pity.

As his mood changed, so did his way of doing things. If Yun Chu's memory was correct, Li Ji's birthday this time should be his last healthy, joyful and full of guests.

Therefore, Yunchu was going to attend Li Ji's birthday in person, bringing the richest gifts, Li Si, Yun Jin, Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi with him.

Not only that, but he also planned to dedicate a poem to Li Ji, so that this person who didn't deal with him but made great contributions to his own species could enjoy the glory that belonged to him in the last time.

This time, he didn't feel any sense of humiliation in his heart. On the contrary, he felt very happy. After all, what he worshiped was the one who followed Tang Taizong Li Shimin to pacify the chaotic world and restore peace to the world. , Goguryeo, Li Ji, who opened up countless territories for the Tang Dynasty, was given the posthumous title of Zhenwu, and was worthy of Xu Shiji who enjoyed the Chinese Martial Temple.

As for the current Li Ji who let his grandson dig the caterpillar fungus for him in order to live a few more years and was worried that Yunchu would destroy it, just treat it as if he couldn’t see it. He is old, and it is inevitable to do a few stupid things .

As for the caterpillar fungus, the Yun family still has some, which were brought back from Tibet by the adventurers in Chang'an. It happened to take advantage of Li Ji's birthday to speculate on the value of the caterpillar fungus, so that more adventurers from the Tang Dynasty could go to Go over there to have a look, anyway, the snow area is too important to China, even if it can't be taken back now, getting more Tang people to enter the snow area should be conducive to national integration.

"How many Cordyceps are there at home?" Yun Chu waited for Yu Xiurong to help him deal with the wound, wiped his face and began to make arrangements.

"It looked like less than ten catties. The old god sent two catties to Master Xuanzang, but Master Xuanzang returned it, saying that it was difficult to distinguish meat from vegetables. He didn't want it. They don't like the stew made with this stuff, but Cui Yao and Cui Shi like it very much, and use it to stew chicken every few days.

Our family is mainly used by the two of them. "

"Choose the best Cordyceps and prepare a hundred. Each Cordyceps is equipped with a small jade gourd and put in a jade box for every ten jade gourds. Then, ask the old gods to make some Cordyceps pills and powders. , After finishing it, remember to pack it in the kind of box that others can't afford.

This time, our family's birthday gift to Yinggong was supported by Cordyceps, and the rest could just make some birthday noodles and birthday cakes. "

Yu Xiurong said in a dilemma: "Isn't this too confusing?"

Yun Chu looked at Yu Xiurong and said: "Our family doesn't take this thing seriously, I only took it back when I saw it, and made soup for you as a big tonic, the Yinggong Mansion is different.

They mobilized troops and dispatched confidantes for this crap, and even shocked me three times a day, so I might as well give it to Yinggong, lest I have a bad life in fear, and Yinggong can't sleep at night. I was always worried that I would snatch his Cordyceps sinensis. "

Yu Xiurong was stunned for a moment and said incomprehensibly: "You mean this thing is very precious?"

Yunchu sighed and said, "Grandfather Ying taught himself a great deal of medical skills, and he thinks this thing has the effect of reviving the dead..."

Before Yun Chu could finish speaking, Yu Xiurong's face changed, and he left the room in a hurry, and came back after a while, holding seven or eight cordyceps in his hand and carefully placed them on the table, saying: "It really has a miraculous effect? ​​It's a pity, I was eaten up by Cui Yao and Cui Shi, two no-name people, and my heart hurts to death."

Yunchu looked at Cui Yao who came in holding a casserole, and said to Yu Xiurong, "It's enough for my family to eat, I don't eat it anyway."

Cui Yao came to Yunchu with a stride, swept her sleeves away, and she took away the caterpillar fungus that Yu Xiurong put on the table, and turned around to leave. Yu Xiurong wanted to grab it, but Yunchu held him down on the chair and said: "Send Steward Liu to collect all the Cordyceps in the guild. This time, I will use the reputation of Yinggong to completely inflate the price of Cordyceps, and let those rich and powerful people start to take a closer look at the guild. Let them receive more missions in the future and have one more way to survive."

Yu Xiurong grabbed Yunchu's sleeve and said, "Husband, this thing can't bring people back to life, can it?"

Yun Chu pointed to Cui Yao who was biting her tongue standing in the yard and said to Cui Shi: "You see, they have been eating for a year, do they look rejuvenated?"

Yu Xiurong looked at her husband's hand, looked at it for a while, and said, "Except for getting fatter, there is no change, but this should be the effect of the fat chickens they ate, right?"

Yun Chu nodded in agreement, he was beaten badly by Xuan Zang, but the women in the family didn't care, they stewed chicken with Cordyceps, they made chicken, they cheated, they didn't feel sad at all.

It seemed that he was born to be beaten by Master Xuanzang.

"There are cordyceps in the guild, don't people in Yinggong's mansion know about it?" After assigning the job of collecting cordyceps to Liu Yi, the housekeeper, Yu Xiurong felt a little worried again.

Yun Chu smiled and said: "People in Chang'an habitually think that the guild is our family's sphere of influence, including Yinggong. Our family is not close to Yinggong's mansion, and people are worried that after dealing with the guild, it will cause misunderstandings in our family.

Of course, the Yinggong Mansion is also relatively proud, and is unwilling to deal with a group of bearded, swordsmen, rangers and other bad people. "

Yu Xiurong said contemptuously: "These people really have their eyes and ears closed, don't they know that the guild has been constantly looking for new crops for the prince and collecting exotic flowers and herbs for the grandson all these years?

Even the imperial medical department would come to the guild to inquire if they wanted some precious medicinal materials, but they ignored them like dead people, and made the matter so big for a little bit of caterpillar fungus. "

Yun Chu sighed and said: "I have a bad habit of cherishing myself, thinking that our family is like them, hiding some good things like fate, and not letting others know, it is not the good fortune of Tang Dynasty if this continues.

Alright, I'll take some Cordyceps to Liang Jianfang's house first, as a way to vent Yinggong's side, lest the old guy suddenly get the Cordyceps and end up like Niu Gao. "

The head was injured, and the upper half of the face, especially the eyes, swelled up in the afternoon. Yu Xiurong rolled a boiled egg and it was useless.

Fortunately, Liang Jianfang didn't need to pay attention to his appearance. With a veil on his face, Yunchu rode a carriage in the scorching heat and entered Liang Jianfang's mansion with a ghostly spirit, without getting off at the gate.

The strangeness of Yun Chu's arrival made Liang Jianfang very worried. Although his grandson Liang Ying was with Yun Chu, but he was involved with Li Ji all his life. Anyway, he would never betray Li Ji in his life. something happened.

Therefore, I specially brought Su Lie here as a witness, especially when I heard that Yunchu was going to meet him secretly.

The process was very interesting. From the moment the carriage left Jinchangfang, there were countless eyes staring at it. Yunchu estimated that the eyes of the emperor, queen, Baiqisi, and many wealthy families were all staring at him.

Yunchu became very playful halfway, and deliberately opened the car window to reveal his strange appearance wearing a black veil...

Liang Jianfang lacked one foot, and Su Lie had a special status, so no one came to welcome Yunchu. However, the butler of Liang Jianfang's family saw Yunchu wearing a veil and getting out of the carriage with a box in his arms, and his mouth was bitter. unbearable.

In his opinion, Yunchu's visit this time was to force his family's old, feeble and powerless old man to express his opinion.

After hesitating again and again, the old housekeeper who had followed Liang Jianfang all his life said in a difficult way: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ying is the one holding power in the Liang family now. The old man has not cared about world affairs for a long time. He and Mr. Ying and other older generations cannot be separated. .”

Yun Chu sneered and said: "I came this time to give the old man treasures of heaven and earth. I heard that he even sent out a few soldiers for this thing. Why don't you come to my mansion Let me ask, I'm fine now, Li Jingxuan grabbed my sore foot, why bother?"

Hearing that Yunchu was here to deliver things, the steward immediately let go of the huge stone in his heart. Everyone knew that Liang Jianfang had a kindness for Yunchu. Liang Jianfang never stopped walking during the holidays.

"It's just why Junhou wears a veil?"

Yun Chu lifted the veil, revealing the black and blue upper half of his face, and said, "I was taught a lesson by the elders, and I have no face to face others."

"Oh—" Seeing Yun Chu's messed up face, the housekeeper completely let go of his heart.

Yun Chu followed the housekeeper into the hall of the Liang family, and tore off the veil, exposing the swollen boss's head to Lao Liang and Lao Su.

Liang Jianfang looked at Yun Chu's bandaged head that looked like a rice dumpling, and then at his bruised eyebrows, gasped and said, "Who beat you so badly? Xue Rengui?"

At the same time, Su Lie also saw that Yun Chu's injury was real, and immediately thought of countless possibilities. He sat up straight and stared at Yun Chu sharply. At this moment, he was really worried. It was caused by Yinggong's move.

Yunchu came to Liang Jianfang Duanjiao and sat down first. He sighed first and said, "I offended Master Xuanzang, and I was hit on the head with a stick. As for Xue Rengui who wants to beat me so badly, he still lacks the energy."

I heard that it was Master Xuanzang who did it, whether it was Liang Jianfang or Su Lie, the stones in their hearts quickly fell to the ground, and even their faces became better-looking.

Liang Jianfang laughed loudly and said, "If Master Xuanzang hit you with a stick, there's nowhere to get it back, right?"

Yun Chu said with a smile: "If they want to fight, they can only suffer."

Su Dingfang immediately said with a relaxed expression: "Why is Master Xuanzang so angry with you? The old man heard that this old monk has long been a mortal monk. Logically speaking, he would not get angry easily."

Yun Chu angrily said to Liang Jianfang: "If you had said earlier that you needed Cordyceps sinensis, you would have just come to your house and said it. Why did you send the soldiers around you to dig in the hiding place? Do those soldiers know how to dig? Do they dig there?" ?

Not to mention the crime of sending soldiers out of Beijing privately, you don't know, do you?

Li Jingxuan didn't catch Chang'an's sore feet from me, but he tore a hole from you.

It's all right now, it's been rumored all over the world that our nobles from Chang'an are dispatching the soldiers around us, and they're about to do an unspeakable event. "

Yun Chu deliberately made the matter serious. Liang Jianfang is a big bastard, and now he is no longer as brave as before, and his face is a bit ugly, but Su Lie doesn't seem to have heard it. He didn't say anything afraid, and looked at Yun Chu with a smile : "Do you have Cordyceps sinensis in your hand?"

Yunchu pushed the brocade box brought in in front of Liang Jian and said, "There is a catty in it, about [-] pieces. You eat it first, and then go to my kitchen to get it after you finish eating. There are still some at home. , are old last year.

If you want to eat fresh ones, you have to wait. The Cordyceps season is usually between April and May, and counting the time on the road, new Cordyceps will be picked up soon.

However, you can only eat dry food. The efficacy of dry food is not as good as that of fresh food. It is very delicate, so it is better to eat it within seven days after leaving the ground. "

Liang Jianfang suspiciously opened the brocade box that Yunchu brought, looked at the box full of caterpillar fungus, and yelled out the door: "Old Gou, bring me the caterpillar fungus."

After a little effort, the butler of the Liang family brought a red brocade box. After opening it, there were seven or eight small caterpillar fungus placed on the cotton cloth inside. Compare.

Su Lie took the Cordyceps on both sides for comparison, then threw the Cordyceps on the table in a disinterested manner, and said to Liang Jianfang, "Longevity is a delusion after all."

Liang Jianfang held the box Yunchu brought and asked in puzzlement, "Why? We have Cordyceps."

Su Lie didn't explain much, stood up and cupped his hands towards Yunchu casually and said, "I'm about to run away, if I don't run away, I'll be laughed at by you, a baby."

After speaking, he really left quickly without looking back.

Old man Liang couldn't figure out the situation, so he held the box containing the caterpillar fungus and said to Yunchu: "This is all for the old man, didn't you promise anyone else?"

Yun Chu sighed helplessly: "It's all yours. I will prepare a few catties for Duke Ying's birthday in a few days."

Liang Jianfang satisfactorily handed the box to the housekeeper, Old Gou, rubbed his hands and said, "That's the right thing to do, isn't it about Xu Jingye's matter, let him go, let him live, and let him toss about in Tuyuhun for a few years That's it, it's not the style of a general to have the same knowledge as a defeated general, besides, Xu Jingye is nothing, but Xu Shiji is a big tiger, don't look at this tiger is old, you really can't predict the outcome if you fight."

Yunchu also got the news he wanted from the old man Liang Jianfang. That's right, the news was that Li Ji was also very afraid of Yunchu, and he was not sure of winning.

"You are still young, bowing your head to Yinggong is nothing, that's it, Yinggong's birthday is three days later, I will go with you, give him the caterpillar fungus, and then tell the truth, Yinggong will get the caterpillar fungus, I guess there is nothing to embarrass you I'm thinking..."

Liang Jianfang kept talking, and Yunchu listened quietly with a smile on his face. Liang Jianfang was very satisfied with Yunchu's attitude of being taught, but the housekeeper of Liang's house saw endless sadness from Yunchu's swollen eyes.

The founding hero of Zhenguan finally lost his last arrogance and courage, and began to live in mediocrity.

Seeing Liang Jianfang was really happy, and Yunchu also drank two glasses of wine with Liang Jianfang. Although his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he was not good at drinking, but seeing that Liang Jianfang, who was missing a foot, wanted to drink, he accompanied him to drink several times more .

Liang Jianfang was no longer as brave as he used to be. After drinking seven or eight cups of anti-virus medicine, he fell down on the bed and passed out drunk.

Yunchu watched the old Gou who was drinking with him put the blanket on Liang Jianfang's body, put down his glass and said to Lao Gou, "From now on, if the old man wants anything, he can come to my house to get it, don't embarrass yourself."

Old Gou wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said softly: "Junhou, don't give too much, my father-in-law can't stand this."

Yun Chu said indifferently: "You know, I'm not giving alms, but repaying a kindness. Some people repay their kindness casually, and some people's kindness will last forever..."

Under Lao Gou's long bow, Yunchu stepped into the carriage, and Fei Jiu drove the carriage away from Yanmen County Mansion with no expression on his face.

When Yunchu's carriage left the Yanmen county mansion, many eyes were still looking at Yun's carriage.

Previously, Su Lie hurriedly left the Yanmen County Mansion not long after Yunchu entered the gate, which has already attracted a lot of speculation, especially some people deliberately asked Su Lie why Yunchu went to the Yanmen County Mansion, and they were rejected. Su Lie, who was furious and angry, was scolded, and more people believed that it was definitely not an easy matter for Yunchu to go to Liang's house masked this time.

Rourou also didn't understand, after jumping into Yunchu's carriage halfway, he lifted off the black veil on Yunchu's face, looked at the messy face, put down the veil and said: "The old god did it, it was Xuanzang. Master did it, um, it should be Master Xuanzang, right?"

Yun Chu nodded.

Gentle sucked in a cold breath and said: "In other words, Master Xuanzang is extremely dissatisfied with our appeasement attitude?

It doesn't make sense, Master Xuanzang should understand the horror of Duke Ying better than we do. "

Yun Chu said: "I am really afraid of Yinggong, who put down the chaotic world and restored the world peace.

Two strikes against Xue Yantuo, pacification of Qibei, and great defeat of the Eastern Turkic hero, I dare not not be afraid.

Conquering Liaodong in the east, destroying Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, countless heros who opened up territories for the Tang Dynasty, I dare not make a loud noise when they are under his tent.

However, in front of Li Ji, in order to prolong his life, he did not hesitate to send his grandson to Kangba, and even sent soldiers in front of him to dig caterpillar fungus for him in violation of regulations, and he did not hesitate to intimidate us. "

Wenrou's body became stiff when he heard Yunchu's words, and he didn't wake up until the carriage was about to arrive at Jinchangfang. He didn't want to talk too much, so he jumped out of the carriage angrily, and then got into his own carriage , turned around and left, as if some great conflict broke out between the two.

That night, countless people made invitations to meet with Yunchu, but Yunchu returned the invitations and politely declined.

All of a sudden, rumors spread.

When it was dark, people saw Yunchu leave the house and go straight to the old fairy Sun Simiao.

This night, Pingkangfang's income dropped sharply by more than [-]%, leaving all kinds of red-sleeved tricks lamenting in the night wind.

Sun Shenxian fished out a piece of caterpillar fungus from the tea bowl, threw it into his mouth and chewed it a few times, then shook his head and said to Yunchu: "Maybe the old man didn't eat enough, so until now, he hasn't felt any effect."

Yun Chutou's face was smeared with anti-swelling ointment of various colors by the old god, which was the same as the caterpillar fungus that the old god ate, and it was unknown whether it had any effect.

"Since that is the case, why does Yinggong Li Ji think so firmly that this thing has the effect of prolonging life? I always feel that some small tricks should not work on a character like Yinggong."

Sun Simiao said with a smile: "People's hearts are like a ghost town. The old Taoist doesn't like to guess people's hearts, which is why he has lived for so many years."

"What if it is used as medicine?"

"It can't be used as a medicine. Now, the efficacy of this Cordyceps is not very clear. It needs to be used in large quantities for various diseases in the imperial hospital to discover the secret.

For now, the old Taoist can only tell you that this substance is non-toxic. If you have to add it to the medicine, the old Taoist will only add it to the prescription of the noble family, so that the patient can have more confidence in overcoming the disease.

Forget about the small households of the Ping family. "

"Alas—" Yunchu sighed, relying on the words of the old god, Yunchu finally confirmed that this thing is actually a rare thing, not even a good medicine.

But how to put it, it is also a good thing. If it is stewed with chicken, the price of chicken will increase ten times. If it is stewed with duck, the price of duck soup will also increase ten times. With ribs... put it in the life-saving In medicine, it is dehumanizing.

The old fairy has never been a pedantic doctor. His disciples and grandchildren are all over the world. The children have to eat, and their families also have to eat. If all the food money is paid for by life-saving medicine, it is not good for the common people. Fair.

The only way to find more money is in ginseng, deer antler, and Cordyceps, which are dispensable to patients.

Only when his apprentices and grandchildren can eat and drink enough can they lower the price of other life-saving medicines...

When Yunchu left the old Immortal's mansion in the morning, the bruises on his head dissipated a lot. Although there was still no way to completely restore Yunchu's original handsome appearance, as far as the efficacy of the medicine was concerned, it was already very good.

He took half a carload of all kinds of Cordyceps products, ointments, medicines, pills, pills, powders, tablets, drinks and all kinds of Cordyceps.

Looking at the pile of finished products of Cordyceps on the car, Yunchu sincerely hoped that the price of these products could be raised by this opportunity to celebrate Yinggong's birthday.

If the money earned can allow the Tai Medical Office to open another Tai Hospital in Chang'an, it should be the greatest effect of Cordyceps on the quality of life of the people and the quality of life.

　It was reviewed last night, but it was not sent out, Waterfall Khan.
