Chapter 304 Are You Sick?
Every grain is made yellow and golden, and Wu Youwei even wrapped it in gold foil paper, which looks high-end!
If people in the future see this, they should say: Isn't this imported chocolate?
I go to the Hanlin Academy during the day, and make Toffee Hawthorn Pills at home at night.
Just two days after it was done, Wantong went to Beizhen Fusi to be on duty. Wu Youwei came back early today because the Imperial Academy left early today, because the book work in the Imperial Academy was almost done, and in August, the family returned home. There was a woman who was about to give birth, so Wu Qiong was asked to go back, and the two young scholars also went back, and they were going to prepare for the provincial examination next year.
But the next day, as soon as he arrived at the Imperial Academy, he was blocked by Yang Yiqing.
Yang Yiqing is an editor just like him, and the two of them work in the same office, well, they are actually in the same room.
"My cousin is here." Yang Yiqing said, "He wants to see you.
"Your cousin?" Wu Youwei was puzzled: "See me??"
"It's Cheng Pengyun, Cheng Wanli!" Yang Yiqing reminded him, "The one you know."
"Oh, Brother Cheng!" Wu Youwei has not forgotten Cheng Pengyun, and Cheng Pengyun's name and characters are very interesting, of course he will not forget.
"He's here to ask for medicine. I said Youwei, you have to be mentally prepared." Yang Yiqing whispered to him, "The rumors are not right recently. People everywhere say that you have medicine in your hand, which can bring the dead back to life or something. Really. What are you going to do if someone asks for medicine?"
Whether to give or not is a matter.
"What kind of medicine to bring the dead back to life!" Wu Youwei's heart skipped a beat when he heard it, and then he said loudly, "If you want me, why don't you keep it for yourself?"
"But didn't you save the second son?" Li Dongyang came over and just heard this sentence.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, that's the emperor...he was poisoned. I have Tianshan snow lotus here. I boiled the soup and bathed the emperor's son, and then he recovered!" Wu Youwei said loudly in the first half, and the second half He suddenly lowered his voice, and said in a tone that can only be heard clearly when people get close: "Didn't you find out? Wantong came out of the palace with the second son in his arms, not to detoxify in the palace, because the palace is also investigating What's more, when we went back, the second son of the emperor didn't wear any clothes, he even wrapped it in a new cloth towel and brought it into the palace, all the clothes were packed and brought in separately!"
Wow!
What a big gossip!
The Hanlin Academy gathered half of the staff, Wu Youwei saw that there were too many people, and it happened that the rumors were aimed at him, so he counterattacked bluntly: "This is a matter in the palace, and I can't say anything, but what?" Don't guess about panacea, I have some Tianshan snow lotus, and the Tianshan snow lotus nectar that my master gave me, you know, it's very little.
Snow lotus in Tianshan Mountains, as we all know, grows in rock crevices, stone walls and ice-sulphur gravel beaches near the snow line of high mountains, at an altitude of more than 500 meters and below 4000 meters.
Tianshan produces the most and the best quality.
It can be used medicinally and has certain ornamental value.
At such a high altitude, there are few bees that can exist, not to mention the snow lotus honey collected by the bees.
Especially in ancient times, snow lotus was raised naturally. The wild Tianshan snow lotus grows in an extremely harsh environment. Plants in an ordinary environment cannot survive at all, but snow lotus can neutralize the air in the severe cold of tens of degrees below zero. In the thin anoxic environment, it is proud of the frost and fights the snow, and grows tenaciously.
It is also the unique living habits and unique growth environment of Saussurea sauraceae that make it natural and rare, and create its unique pharmacological effects and medicinal value.
The yield of wild snow lotus is extremely low. It takes five years from germination to flowering of snow lotus. The seeds germinate at zero degrees Celsius and grow at three to five degrees Celsius. The seedlings can withstand the low temperature of minus 21 degrees Celsius, but the actual growth period is less than two months.
In this short growth period, snow lotus, with its strong vitality, can grow five to seven times taller than other plants.
It is hailed as a "divine object" by the people of Xueshan.
When the ancient Tianshan herdsmen encountered snow lotus on the way, it was considered auspicious and auspicious, and they treated each other with holy things.
According to legend, the lotus flower in the snow was sprinkled by the fairies when the Queen Mother of Yaochi took a bath in Tianchi. The opposite snow peak with an altitude of more than 5000 meters is a beautiful mirror.
Drinking the dewdrops on the bract leaves is believed to drive away evil and diseases and prolong life.
So Wu Youwei succeeded in fooling around, and the Tianshan snow lotus nectar that he blew made everyone amazed. In fact, in later generations, this kind of thing was mass-produced. Of course, the price is also slightly more expensive, which is more expensive than ordinary nectar. Gui, how did Wu Youwei know?
Speaking of it, it was a bitter tear!
When he just joined the job back then, because of his gentle appearance, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the school leadership... to give a gift to a deputy bureau's home.
This gift must be given out, but it can't be caught by others, it can't be accused of bribery, and of course, the leader can't spread the word "bribery".
What to do?
Wu Youwei was worried, and later found out that the other party was constipated because he was middle-aged and old!
So he went to the gift wholesale market for several days, and bought the most expensive Tianshan snow lotus nectar from there. It was packed in a gift box and contained four small bottles, each fifty grams.
Just such a little thing cost him more than a thousand dollars, but fortunately he was able to reimburse it, and then stuffed a cash red envelope of 1 yuan in it, and just carried it to the leader’s house. At that time, they didn’t accept it, so he said it was a little honey. , Not much money, I heard that the leader is constipated, it is an old problem, the school leader bought it specially... In any case, people accepted it.
Later, when their school leaders were doing things, it went very smoothly!
But later, he heard that the vice bureau had been shuanggui...
Now, with his knowledge of studying nectar at that time, he has fooled everyone into limping
Everyone was surprised that Wu Youwei still had such a good thing?
"Is it for my own life?" Wu Youwei said: "The second son of the emperor has a fever, so I bathed him in water made of snow lotus and fed him nectar. Snow lotus grows on the Tianshan Mountains, so it is naturally cold and cools down. Fast!"
This explanation sounds reasonable.
I don't know if someone is really watching the Hanlin Academy. Wu Youwei just said it in the morning, and it spread in the afternoon, or the Hanlin Academy itself is also responsible for it.
But Cheng Pengyun's invitation was still a banquet to attend.
After all, we know each other, and we even visited Qunfang Pavilion together.
It's a pity that this time because Maid Wu and Yang Yiqing are both officials, there are regulations in the Ming Dynasty that officials are not allowed to have sex with prostitutes, let alone go to romantic places.
So Cheng Pengyun invited the two of them to have dinner in the most lively overseas building.
I ordered some dishes in the private room, ordered some tea, drank slowly and waited for others.
When it was time to get off work, Yang Yiqing took Wu Youwei out: "My cousin booked a private room and dishes in the middle floor of the Overseas Building.
"I'll ask someone to go back and tell you." Wu Youwei didn't come to work alone. Wantong sent more than a dozen people to follow him. They said they were domestic servants, but judging by the posture, it was obvious that Jin Yiwei was pretending. Why Wu Youwei? Because I didn't ask, I just followed, anyway, it won't do him any harm.
Send one person home to report the letter, and the rest follow Wu Youwei's car to eat the big family.
When they arrived at the place, Yang Yiqing took Wu Youwei to the box, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a more mature and steady Cheng Pengyun.
We haven't seen each other for many years, and we are a little strange to each other. Back then, we went to the brothel Chu Pavilion together.
But after chatting for a while, the strangeness disappeared, and I felt that I was still the same person back then.
The dishes in the middle and upper floors of the overseas building come up quickly, and they are all overseas food: scrambled eggs with tomato, mashed potatoes with minced meat, fried sweet potato chips, dried tofu with sharp peppers; corn ribs soup, the staple food is corn pastry.
"Although these things are nothing in the south, they feed half of the Li people in the north." Cheng Pengyun looked at such meals and talked eloquently: "Because of them, the price of food has come down."
"The most important thing is to be able to eat enough." Wu Youwei said: "At that time, I also thought that the people in the dry land should grow some different varieties. Rice can be grown in the south, and it can also be grown in places with water in the north. For one season, plant some high-yield crops in places without water to feed the people."
Wheat can also be grown, but corn can be grown on reclaimed land!
Corn is also food, it can also feed the hunger, and it can be paid as tax food, and the people will not lose money.
Wu Youwei originally wanted to say "what is money?", but he thought Cheng Pengyun was a businessman, so he didn't say this.
"Yes!" Cheng Pengyun took a bite: "Especially the taste is not bad."
There are too many things that can satisfy the hunger, but there are few things that taste good and can satisfy the hunger.
The three chatted about their respective years, and Cheng Pengyun also talked about Luo Lun's situation. Luo Lun married a wife and gave birth to a child. It is estimated that he will be transferred back in the next year.
His political achievements in the south in the past three years are obvious to all. Although he has not been promoted, everyone knows that his position is too important to be entrusted to others, the emperor and the court.
So regardless of not being promoted, the rewards are getting heavier every time, and Luo Lun is the number one scholar, Jiangnan's literary style is at its peak, and the number one scholar is even more respected.
Wu Youwei hasn't broken up with him these years, and he gives gifts frequently, so he knows that Luo Lun has something to do with him in Beijing.
Because the three of them wanted to have a good chat, they drank sour plum juice instead of alcohol.
As we talked, we talked about Wu Youwei. First, he won No. 3 in the Yijia exam, and he was Tanhua.
It also talked about entering the Hanlin Academy, editing, and the tossing Hanlin Academy reorganizing the Library Pavilion and the public library.
Cheng Pengyun didn't expect such a wonderful thing to happen!
Immediately, he beat his chest and stamped his feet: "If I were a few years younger, I could go in and see the Imperial Academy!"
"Cousin, if you have free time, I'll take you to see it?" Yang Yiqing said: "My students are just going back for the autumn harvest, and they haven't come back yet.
"Forget it." Cheng Pengyun drooped his head: "It's even more sad to see it."
He is a businessman, from his grandfather's generation, so if he wants to take the imperial examination, his son can do it, but he can't.
Businessmen cannot take the imperial examination within three generations, and only after three generations, and once they pass the examination, they can only give up the business.
Of course, this is the rule on the surface.
"Okay!" Yang Yiqing likes to eat fried sweet potato chips: "Take my cousin to eat chicken and mushroom powder tomorrow, the taste is absolutely amazing!"
"I've heard of it." Yang Yiqing changed the subject, and Cheng Pengyun couldn't always feel sorry for himself: "I have eaten it too, but the vermicelli from the frontier army is the most authentic. A sack of vermicelli can be exchanged for a cow to go back!"
"It's because they bully those foreigners who don't understand the market. Now the price has dropped, and three sacks are exchanged for two cows." Yang Yiqing is very concerned about the movement on the border.
"It's all about taking advantage." Wu Youwei gnawed on the ribs and said, "For foreigners, just ask for it. In the future, vermicelli can be given to him just like tea. Let's eat some vegetarian food."
The tea that Daming trades with foreigners is specially made, called tea bricks, and the bricks that are not made of good tea materials are as big as compressed bricks.But there is salt in it. Those Huihui and Tatars take it back and boil it and mix it with cow, sheep and mare's milk to make a salty milk tea. People there like to drink it that way.
Then it talked about Wu Youwei's medicine.
"Are you sick?" Wu Youwei looked at Cheng Pengyun: "But you look pretty good?"
"It's not me." Cheng Yunpeng said, "It's Duke Wei's mansion..." He said everything, he felt that he didn't need to beat around the bush with Wu Youwei.
"Xu Kuibi Xu Shizi?" Wu Youwei put down the cleanly gnawed ribs: "Does he look good? During the Lantern Festival, he was said to be engaged at home? But he seems to have gone back back again.
"The world... is engaged, but the Duke is still worried about him." Cheng Pengyun said: "It looks good now, will it happen in the future?"
Wu Youwei knew that what he was more worried about was the problems of the next generation after marriage.
However, this matter depends on what the eldest son Xu Kuibi thinks.
