==================

☆ There are restaurants in Luoyang City

As the saying goes, when the summer heat arrives, shrimp and whipped bamboo shoots are indispensable.

With the arrival of the Slight Summer Festival, the warm breeze is sent from nowhere, bringing a burst of heat to the earth, and some fierce sunlight under the shadows of the trees has become less basking.

In the middle of the zigzag alleys, the sight ahead is obscured. Farmers carrying poles, or scholars and merchants wearing wide-sleeved gowns are walking among them, coming and going, blue and brown intersecting, It became more and more mossy green.

Everyone has a happy smile on their faces. In the alley, there is some fragrance in the air, which is different from the thick rouge powder. This fragrance seems to make people greedy Check out the general.

After this alley, there is a street for housing. There are neat shops on both sides of the street. There are many men and women coming and going, old and young, and it is also very lively.The height of the two sides is only three floors at most, and there is a street from time to time, and further inside, the noise outside can not be heard inside, it is a place for ordinary people to stay.

It's not that there are restaurants and restaurants on both sides of this street, but one of them has the best business. If it's about the exterior decoration, it can't even compare to Yangliu Yiyi from Shufengge, a rouge shop next door. The exquisite silk lanterns are so beautiful.In terms of the size of the store, it can't even compare to the luxury of the antique shop Baolai Pavilion on the other side, and the magnificent decoration of the store.

This small restaurant is sandwiched between two of the most famous stores on this street, and it does not appear to be in the slightest. The benches in front of the store have been lined up on Qingshi Road. In the middle is a unique scenery on this street.

The clothes of these people are not the best, they are just ordinary nettle clothes. It seems that they are just the residents of the surrounding area, but one or two of them have smiles on their faces, and there is a plate on the stool. Some bowls, inside the bowls are clear and translucent brown liquid, and inside the plates are popped rice crackers, with some salt, it tastes very interesting.

There were people coming and going inside, and from time to time one or two mistresses would come out of it, shouting one or two numbers loudly, and the person who was called the number walked in with joy on their faces, while the people inside were hanging It's a satisfied expression after drinking and eating, patting the stomach and coming out.

A group of them managed to get to their seats, and asked a clever young man next to him who looked pretty and had a twinkle in his eyes: "Brother Ming, what kind of food did your young master cook today?"

The Xiao Er who was called Brother Ming was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a shrewd vigor, and a clear voice that could be heard in the whole shop, and said loudly: "My young master said , Xiaoshu is here, and everyone is very angry. There are special dishes like shrimp and bamboo shoots and bacon and spring bamboo shoots. They are our specialties. In addition, today's pig's knuckle stew is not bad. If you want to eat it, you can eat more. If you don’t want to eat, there are recipes on the wall, just read it yourself.”

Someone in the store said loudly: "Brother Ming, you are too dishonest, why didn't you say there are new dishes when we came in just now?"

Brother Ming rolled his eyes, and said in a calm tone: "You didn't ask me, how would I know, now that I've said it, do you want it?"

If a normal restaurant spoke in this tone, the customers would have dropped the table and left, but this restaurant has such magic power, perhaps because the speakers are all acquaintances, instead of getting angry, everyone is apologizing one after another.

Brother Ming swaggered into the back kitchen.

The location of the back kitchen is not big. As soon as you enter, you can see the man in the middle. He has beautiful eyebrows, soft facial lines, and a head of black and beautiful hair combed into a bun, revealing a smooth and saturated forehead. The fine sweat, but the skin looks better.

He was wearing ordinary cotton clothes, but coupled with his handsome face and focused expression, it made people feel inexplicably intoxicated.

Brother Ming said with some distress: "Young Master, why don't we do it at night, and it would be good to sell some snacks or something. It's such a hot day, you should hurry up and take a rest."

Rong Yushu smiled with a good temper, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, making it even more obvious that his temperament was like a piece of gentle jade, which aroused people's favor.

"Brother Ming, if I don't cook some dishes to make some money, what will we do with our food and clothing these days?"

Rong Yushu, named Wenyu, was originally a descendant of a scholarly family. His father's house had a lot of books, but he didn't have much interest in it. Instead, he was very interested in the ancient and modern recipes in the book. .

Apart from sighing, my father said: "Food is the paramount necessity of the people." He didn't say anything, but unfortunately when he woke up later, he was in a different place.The old bed, the monotonous quilt covering the body, and the crying boy who suddenly rushed in from outside, and a series of explanations later, let me know that I am no longer in the modern age.

This is the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago, the prosperous Tang Dynasty that was under the rule of Zhenguan.

The place I was in was Luoyang, the capital of Empress Wu Zetian, the economic and cultural center of the Tang Dynasty.

At the beginning, my mood was still a bit complicated. On the one hand, I was a little sad that I came to this unaccompanied place. The first thing I thought of was what to do with my parents. With an elder brother, there is no need to worry about sending the elder brother to his death.

It's not that Rong Yushu hasn't found a way to go back, but it's not easy to go back, is he really going to die again?But before he hit the wall, he was stopped by the boy following him, howling and crying, Rong Yushu had no choice but to give up the method of seeking death, and resigned himself to staying in ancient times.

My own body is clever, and it is also called Rong Yushu. It is a coincidence that it is in the family, and it can be regarded as an orthodox scholarly family. I heard that the grandfather's generation was still a small official, but it is a pity that it gradually declined in the father's generation.

My mother died young, and my father was always unsuccessful and frustrated, so I just left. Fortunately, I left a mansion, although it is not big, but relying on the rent of the front shop, I can barely Live strong.

Rong Yushu had just passed the provincial examination and was a Juren. The imperial examination system in the Tang Dynasty was like this.Children's examinations (including county-level children's examinations, state-level government examinations, and provincial-level hospital examinations)-country examinations-general examinations, unfortunately, this body pushes me too hard, and I only know how to study hard all day long , Hanging beam stabbing hips, my body collapsed like this, when I woke up, the core inside had already been replaced by someone else.

When I woke up, I was already destitute. How could the salary of Juren be enough for three people?In addition to Brother Ming, there is also a servant named Ah Fu. Due to the poor management of the shop in front, the boss also returned to his hometown early. For a while, the only source of income was also cut off.

But at this time, Brother Ming said while wiping away tears: "Master, don't worry, even if Ah Fu and I are helping people and goods outside, we will definitely not let the young master go hungry."

Ah Fu next to him is a 1.8-meter man. He bought it from his cheap father in the past. He has a wheat complexion and an unsmiling appearance. He can scare children to tears even when he goes out. With silly eyes, he knew that if Rong Yushu said so, he would definitely do it.

Rong Yushu gritted his teeth, and converted his shop outside into a small restaurant. With the recipes he had seen before, no matter what he did, he wouldn't make a difference.

The Tang Dynasty was an era of developed economy and culture. People lived and worked in peace and contentment. Naturally, the requirements for basic necessities of life also increased. Although the catering industry in the Tang Dynasty was not as developed as that in the Song Dynasty, people's sense of taste gradually began to improve.

There is a small shop in front, but more than a dozen tables can be easily set up, and the last bit of spare money is used to purchase tables, chairs and benches, and this small restaurant is reluctantly opened.

It has been opened up to now, relying on some modern business acumen and some novel recipes, but it has quickly turned back a lot of money.

Rong Yushu removed the whip bamboo shoots from the old man, sliced ​​them into hob shapes, boiled the lard in the pot, put the whip shoots in, waited until they were cooked, picked them up for later use, and poured some oil into another pot , put in scallions and stir-fry until fragrant, add sauce and fresh shrimp foam, stir-fry the two, put in the previous bamboo shoots, stir-fry for a while, then transfer to a plate.

The green porcelain plate, together with the milky white whip shoots, dotted with some red sauce, looks quite pleasing to the eye.

The bacon bamboo shoots and eels are a little troublesome. The bacon is the bacon made by the butcher Hu outside. This meat is not like the modern pigs with weird things. The bacon is full of meat, and the outside The skin is moderately salty and glutinous, almost all the oil and water of the fat meat has been refined, and the remaining fat meat is not only not greasy, but also a little crispy.

The rice field eel is cut into beautiful knife flowers, and the blood is removed.Stir-fry the bacon and spring bamboo shoots with oil, stir-fry the eel for a while, add cooking wine and broth, simmer for 5 minutes on low heat, then simmer on medium heat for 1 minute, finally add green onion and pepper, and put them in the pot.

The pig's knuckle soup has been prepared a long time ago, and the pig's knuckles inside have been stewed rotten and crispy. Add soybeans, open the lid of the casserole, and a strong aroma comes out.

Brother Ming cleverly put some of the newly made dishes on the side, and muttered in his mouth as he moved quickly: "The young master has worked so hard to cook, so naturally I have to eat more, but The young master really has a way, this disgusting thing can be cooked so delicious."

Rong Yushu was a little funny about Brother Ming's behavior, but he knew in his heart that Brother Ming was sincerely doing it for his own good, so he didn't say anything.

After packing up the dishes, I made a lot at one time. Those who went out to order food had two left, so after thinking about it, I said to Ah Fu next to me: "Ah Fu, these two dishes, one for Xue Niang from the rouge shop next door sent it to her, and told her that last time she said that she wanted breast-enhancing dishes, just eat pig's feet, and the other one was sent to Zhou Fuye from the antique shop next to him, saying that last time he thought Not feeling well, this bamboo shoot is good for him."

Afumu took the two baskets in a daze, nodded, and went out through the side door next to him. Brother Ming quickly packed the remaining vegetables separately and took them out. Gradually, the outside There are a lot fewer people here, they are busy, and the time of the day goes by extremely quickly. In addition, the herbal tea invented by Rong Yushu and the popped rice crackers were sold to outsiders. Earn about 700,800 Wen.

Rong Yushu sighed when he saw the money. The ones on TV are often worth 10 taels to millions of taels. In fact, it is the Zhenguan period, and it is the most prosperous middle period, and the prices are very cheap. , A bucket of rice can be bought for only five cents, not to mention these foods.At the end of the day, more than 700 is not bad.

For ordinary people, two liang of silver is enough for them to live a good life for the first half of the year.

Brother Ming said happily: "Young Master, with this money, you will be able to participate in the exam next year."

Rong Yushu heard a wry smile on his face, his eyes were a little erratic and he said haha: "The thing about the test? Let's talk about it."

Ah Fu still stood beside him with a dull expression on his face, which is the usual expression of this person.

Suddenly remembered something, as if woken up, and said to Rong Yushu anxiously: "Master, Master, I forgot when I came here just now, Master Zhou Fu said, let you come over when you are done working at night, and say yes The thing that the young master dragged him to look for last time has been found."

Rong Yushu was surprised, but then he was overjoyed, and said, "Really? Have you found the saltpeter?" He hurriedly started to get up, and Brother Ming exclaimed, "Master, it's so late , can't you go tomorrow?"

Rong Yushu's joy was beyond words, he waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile on his face: "No, no, I'd better go to Zhou Fuye's place first."

Brother Ming glared at Ah Fu, and kicked Ah Fu by the way. Ah Fu didn't know how to resist being kicked, but lowered his head a little ashamed.Seeing that Rong Yushu was about to go out, Brother Ming hurriedly picked up a cloak for Ah Fu, pushed the latter, and said quietly: "Hurry up and catch up, it's so late, wait It's curfew soon."

Ah Fu knew that he was at fault, and quickly followed Rong Yushu's footsteps. Seeing Rong Yushu's pace quicken, he shouted anxiously: "Master, wait for Ah Fu!"

The author has something to say:

☆, the ancient saltpeter may be rare

At this time, Luoyang City is already a little late at night, but even so, there are still some people on the street. Rong Yushu is a little anxious. He actually knows that there is a curfew on the street at night, but the desire for saltpeter , is far beyond the prohibition of violating the curfew.

Rong Yushu walked quickly under his feet, and after a while, he was out of breath.

Zhou Fuye is not only a seller of antiques, as a well-known rich man in Luoyang City, he is naturally not limited to antique jade.It’s just that in the past, Lord Zhou Fu started his business by selling antiques. Although the neighborhood where Rong Yushu lived was not as luxurious as some of the newly built houses outside, but fortunately, it was so old. He felt that he made his fortune by relying on that piece of land, and he didn't sell it easily, and kept it as a storefront. In Luoyang City, after a long time, he knew that there was a Baolai Pavilion in Luohuafang.

Of course Zhou Fu did not live in the same place as Rong Yushu. In the Peony Street, which is recognized as a mansion in Luoyang City, a random residence here is what Rong Yushu thinks is a mansion.

Although it was night, red lanterns were lit in front of the red lacquered gates. For a time, from time to time, one or two people walked by in a stately manner, dressed in gorgeous silk and gold spinning. Below, it is particularly noticeable.

Familiarly, I came to a courtyard with a plaque that said "Zhou Mansion". Like daylight.

Rong Yushu walked up quickly, knocked on the copper ring of the door a few times, then backed away, quietly waiting for the door to open.

Ah Fu also stood respectfully by the side. After a while, there was a "click" sound from the door, and a slightly aged face was revealed through the crack of the door. Zhang Bo of the door.

Uncle Zhang knew Rong Yushu a long time ago, so he was not panicked when he saw Rong Yushu so late, he opened the door and welcomed Rong Yushu and the two of them in. The person who came to look for his master smiled and said, "Master Rong came so late, what's the matter, if the curfew is over, you can stay here."

Looking at the very familiar tone, it seems that this is not the first time Rong Yushu has stayed here.

Rong Yushu said with a wry smile: "No, Uncle Zhang, I came to see Master Zhou Fu, and I left after talking."

Ah Fu followed closely behind, and within a while of talking like this, he had already arrived at the lobby. Just as he entered the lobby, he saw a somewhat chubby figure flashing in from behind. Hong Liang said: "Haha, my nephew is so late, why don't you stay here, the supper you made last time tasted really good."

Zhou Fuye's original name was Zhou Huyuan, but because he was fat, he was always smiling all day long, so he was called Zhou Fuye.He was wearing a blue satin gown with makeup, and a wide ocher belt with a treasure pattern around his waist. He had a smiling smile on his face, his temples were slightly white, and he looked very noble. people.

Rong Yushu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Zhou."

Zhou Fuye actually had a good relationship with Rong Yushu's father. One of the reasons why Rong Yushu's father passed away so reassuringly was because he knew that his best friend would not ignore his son.Therefore, it is only natural for Rong Yushu to call Zhou Fuye uncle.

Otherwise, my net worth can be said to have been unable to make ends meet over the years, and the house here might have been swallowed up by the people around me long ago.

Master Zhou Fu quickly helped Rong Yushu up and said, "Look at you, if it's later tonight, it's better to come back the next day. What if there is a curfew?"

As he said, he helped Rong Yushu up, took him to the side and sat down, and before Rong Yushu could speak, he said first: "The saltpeter mine you are talking about, I actually paid attention to it, this time, I I opened a mine with someone in another place, and in it, I found what you need."

"Really?" Rong Yushu's eyes were a little bright, this saltpeter is a good thing, but I have been here for a while, and found that people here are actually storing ice in winter, and saltpeter is used to make ice No one seems to have discovered this technique, but yes, according to history, although there were desserts similar to ice in the Tang Dynasty, it was probably at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Rong Yushu also calculated secretly. According to history, the current emperor, that is, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, died in the most recent period of time.But you can't tell others about this matter, if it gets out, your head will not be safe!

However, looking at Master Zhou Fu who seemed to be worried, Rong Yushu felt that his saltpeter might not be so easy, so he couldn't help but said, "Uncle Zhou, why are you so sad? Could it be that there is something wrong with the saltpeter mine?" ?"

The reserves of saltpeter are still very abundant. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, some alchemists used saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal to make black powder. At that time, it caused an explosion. It may be because of the warning of the alchemist, or maybe it was It was hidden, and what I hadn't heard was that the army of the Tang Dynasty used gunpowder as weapons.

Hearing this, Master Zhou Fu sighed heavily again, his whole body collapsed, it seemed that it was not a small matter.

Rong Yushu asked anxiously: "Is there any nephew who can help?"

Compared with the father whom I have never met before, this Zhou Fu Lord next to his home has a more profound influence. When I was unable to make ends meet, it was this helper who helped me, so that the three people in my family Had to starve.

But Master Zhou Fu just shook his hand, looking a little frustrated, as if he believed that Rong Yushu couldn't help, and said with a sigh: "I know you have good intentions, but ah, you may still really help with the mine matter." Not busy. How about it, in a few days, I will go to the mine, if you really need it, come with me, I can still bring you a small amount of saltpeter."

Rong Yushu's pretty brows frowned slightly, it seemed that the matter this time was really big, but even if he could only get a small amount, it would be very good.So he cupped his hands again, and sincerely thanked him and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

After a while, Master Zhou Fu showed his face and smiled, and asked Rong Yushu how he was doing recently, and chatted for a while, and finally Zhang Bo, who was standing by the side, persuaded him. It's curfew, and it will be difficult to go out again.

The last one who pulled over was the somewhat dull Ah Fu, who taught him that he must be smarter in normal times.

Rong Yushu also knew that there was a curfew waiting for a while, so he had to say goodbye. After exchanging pleasantries, Rong Yushu left the Zhou Mansion, and quickly returned to his home.

Brother Ming had been waiting at the door looking around for a long time, seeing the long shawl in Ah Fu's hand, which hadn't changed since he came back from the doorway, and then became furious and began to scold Ah Fu: "Didn't I ask you to come back?" When the night is dark and the dew is heavy, should you put it on for the young master? Do you keep holding it to incubate the eggs?"

Ah Fu forgot again, with a bit of shame on his face, he insisted on not speaking under Brother Ming's scolding, and lowered his head even more.

Rong Yushu said with some amusement: "Okay, brother Ming, it's not like you don't know about Ah Fu's memory. Forget it, tomorrow morning, I'll make breakfast for you."

Ah Fu is quite strong, tall and strong, with a wheat complexion and a straight nose bridge, which seems to meet the standard of a handsome man of mixed blood in modern times, but in ancient times, he was a bit nondescript, and his memory was not good Well, I often forget the things I confessed, and I often get disgusted by Brother Ming.

Rong Yushu's craftsmanship is recognized as good, Brother Ming was a little excited when he heard it, but said with some shame: "Obviously this is what I do, but the dishes I cook are not as delicious as the young master's."

Rong Yushu smiled faintly, and said indifferently: "What does it matter? I usually read a lot of books, and I learned all these dishes from books."

My cheap old man has collected a series of ancient books, including some recipes, and it is not a lie to say so.

Brother Ming quickly retreated, and before leaving, he put a bowl of pig's knuckle soup on the table. It was just hot, and the strong aroma lingered around the tip of his nose, making people salivate.

"Master, drink a bowl of pig's knuckle soup first, and then read a book. Ah Fu and I will go down first, and don't disturb the master." Ming Geer was afraid of disturbing Rong Yushu's reading, so he pulled Ah Fu and hurriedly retreated. up.

Rong Yushu sat in front of the desk and smiled wryly. If it was a recipe, he would still be able to read it, but to be honest, he really couldn't see it.However, even if you don't want to watch it, there is nothing you can do. You may not pass the exam, but Brother Ming and the people around you have such expectations for him, so you can't live up to the trust of others, right?

In fact, he thinks being a cook is pretty good. Why do some people say that a gentleman is farther than a cook?

I reluctantly looked at it for a while, and finally I couldn't take it anymore. I just drank a bowl of hot soup, and my whole body was hot, and I really wanted to sleep.

In the end, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I left some oil lamps, so that after an hour, it would be extinguished by itself, and Brother Ming would not say that he was lazy when he saw it.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this method is a bit good, the weak light will not affect me at all, and I fell asleep in a short while.

In the early morning, the sky was just slightly bright, the dew was heavy, and there was still a slight humidity in the air, but after a while, it disappeared in the rising sunlight, leaving only some fresh air , the backyard where I live is not big, once you enter the courtyard gate, you can have a panoramic view of the whole small courtyard. There is a set of stone tables and benches in the corner, under a peach tree. Seeing the fruit, it should be ripe in a short time.

There are only three people in my family. In the past, in order to save money, I ate two meals. Since I came here, because I couldn't bear this way of eating, I changed to three meals a day.

The traditional soup in Luoyang, the pig's feet soup left over from yesterday can barely make do. The pork jelly, add refined salt Shaojiu, minced ginger and the sesame oil you just bought, adjust it and put it aside.

Flour is added with warm water, kneaded into a dough, fermented for a while, picked into jiaozi, flattened, rolled into a round skin with a thick center and thin edges, picked into the filling one by one, pulled the skin while turning it, and the finished product is Delicate buns with a small shape.

I used up all the leftover ingredients from yesterday, and steamed more than ten cages, which seemed a lot, but these are small cages, specially used to make delicate pasta, about the size of crab roe soup dumplings, one bite at a time, The soup flows out when you eat it, the shrimps are fresh and tender, the skin is thin and smooth, and the juice is juicy and fragrant.

Ah Fu has a big appetite, basically he wants to eat eighty or ninety of them, most of which he eliminated, and with the steamed buns and pickles he bought earlier, he can barely fill his stomach.

Shrimp dumplings are really delicious, and Ah Fu said with a little unsatisfied: "Young master, why don't you make them bigger, Ah Fu eats one, and it will be gone in a while."

Brother Ming heard him tap on his head angrily, and roared angrily: "You haven't eaten enough, you've eaten seven or eight baskets, bastard, idiot, go eat steamed buns and pickles for me!"

Ah Fu didn't dare to resist, Rong Yushu smiled and excused him, Ah Fu usually did physical work, so naturally he had to eat more.But Ah Fu ate another five or six steamed buns and drank a big bowl of soup slowly before he was full.

Rong Yushu chewed and took a bite, the taste was really good today, he ate a whole basket in a row, and finally rubbed his stomach in satisfaction.

The day's plan is in the morning, Zhou Fu said yesterday that he will be leaving in a few days, so today he put up the sign that he is temporarily closed, but he still makes some pastries for sale temporarily.

Usually, if I have something to do at home, I would close the business and make some pastries, which is convenient and easy to sell. People around here know that I am a well-known juren, and usually think that it is Brother Ming and The dishes Ah Fu cooks are the recipes taught by himself, and he concentrates on reading. How would he know that he is actually cooking in the kitchen?

What I made today is sweet-scented osmanthus red bean cake, a relatively simple pastry. I used to sell it from time to time. Wash the red beans and boil them until they are rotten. For fabrics, then pour in clean water in stages, knead with both hands until all the water is consumed, then pour in the boiled red beans and mix well.Take a wooden steamer, place a piece of steaming cloth under it, pour the mixed cake ingredients into it, open the lid and steam with boiling water for about a quarter of an hour, when the steam comes out and the steamed powder on the surface is red, put Sprinkle a little cake flour used as a fabric evenly on top, cover and simmer for a while, then sprinkle sweet-scented osmanthus on the steamed cake and cut it into squares with a knife.

Today's red bean cakes are selling well. After I made some myself, Brother Ming helped me. Today is a little easier.

Just when Rong Yushu was feeling that today could finally be a little easier, a person hurriedly ran to the door. Running over in a hurry, Rong Yushu thought that something urgent must have happened, and hurriedly brought people in. As expected, when Qi Shi just stepped into it, he heard Qi Shi shouting eagerly : "Master Rong, it's not good."

The author has something to say:

☆、Today help to be a chef

When Rong Yushu saw Qi Shi trotting over in a hurry, he thought something serious had happened, and his heart beat a little faster, but after listening to what he said, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, it’s not a big deal. The original plan of Zhou Fuye and the two people was to set off for Tong’an County where saltpeter was discovered tomorrow with another person (I heard that the two people jointly developed the mine this time). But for some reason, a distinguished guest suddenly arrived at that friend’s house today, but unfortunately, the chef at the friend’s house suddenly fell ill, and for a while, I didn’t know where to find someone who would suit me people.

It's just that this guest's status is relatively noble, and he was afraid that he would be neglected, and the whole family might suffer disaster. For a while, there was no other way, so Rong Yushu came to mind.

Rong Yushu heaved a sigh of relief, a smile began to show on his face, and said: "It's not a big deal, isn't it just asking me to help cook, but my craftsmanship is just home-cooked food, those high-ranking officials and dignitaries are more concerned about it." Yes, maybe it's not too tasteful, if you don't dislike me, it's okay."

Brother Ming only found out today that his young master was going to leave, so he moved around anxiously for a while, Rong Yushu gave him a look of no-hassle, Qi Shi saw his task completed, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It shouldn't be too late. It's past noon now, so it's better for Young Master Rong to prepare early."

Rong Yushu said with some embarrassment: "However, Uncle Zhou and I agreed to leave tomorrow morning, how about this, let me tidy up, and go with the servant later?"

Qi Shi slapped his head, secretly thinking that he hadn't thought of it, and said with some shame: "Look at my memory, Young Master Rong, then you go and prepare first, I am waiting for you here, and I can help you carry something .”

Rong Yushu said with some embarrassment: "It's nothing, but it took me a little longer, you might as well go back first, I'll be there soon."

Qi Shi waved his hands again and again and said: "No trouble, how could it be? Besides, this time the banquet is not held at the master's house, but at the place of the master's friend. The young master has never been there, so he must not know."

oh?Rong Yushu was a little curious, at Zhou Fuye's friend's house?What friend?I was a little curious, so I asked Qi Shi to wait outside for a while, and went into the house to pack things by myself.

Although it is packing up and saluting, Mingge is actually busy alone. Mingge has been with me for a long time, and he grew up by his side since he was a child. I have to say that although the ancient servant system is a little bit It's inhumane, but it saves a lot of trouble if such a considerate person takes care of her by her side, no wonder people say it's the evil feudalism.

"Master, everything is packed, we can go." Brother Ming's face was blushing because he had just done some exercise, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Rong Yushu raised his hand to wipe the sweat off Brother Ming's brow. To be honest, sometimes,
