Crossing the Datang Restaurant

With love and expectation for the full 100 taels, Rong Yushu enthusiastically walked on the road of planting chrysanthemum gardens in Yangzhou.

The owner of the chrysanthemum garden is an old gardener. In his garden, there are many kinds of chrysanthemums, and many of them are even lost chrysanthemum varieties.

For example, the chrysanthemum that the old man introduced to him now is the proud work of the old man.

"I brought this chrysanthemum out of the deep mountains when I was young. I almost lost my way in the deep mountains to find this chrysanthemum."

Although the old man said so, the smile on his face at that time showed that he didn't seem to care about the danger at that time.

Rong Yushu looked at the chrysanthemum in front of him. The chrysanthemum had just bloomed and its color was as bright as gold, but the outer leaves were pure white, which surprised Rong Yushu a little.

After pondering for a while, I smelled the aroma, which is quite different from other chrysanthemums.

Shaking his head, Rong Yushu admitted that he was ignorant.

The old man seemed very satisfied with the situation, and said flauntingly: "Actually, I have never seen such a variety before. It has a strong fragrance. When I planted flowers for my master before, it was very similar to the diptero aroma I smelled."

Rong Yushu had a flash of inspiration, oh, it turned out to be a dipterochrysanthemum.

So I turned my head to look at the precious chrysanthemum in front of me, and the more I looked at it, the more it looked like it, and I sincerely suggested: "Since you said that the fragrance is like diptero, or else it should be called dipterochrysanthemum."

The old man seemed a little inappropriate when he heard the name at first, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the name was good, so he happily said: "Okay, it's called dipteroju!"

Rong Yushu smiled, and when he turned his head to continue looking for edible chrysanthemums, he saw Tang Guang standing aside, seemingly fascinated by one of the chrysanthemums.

When talking about this, Rong Yushu was also a little depressed. Isn't Tang Shaoqing going to handle a big case of human trafficking?Why do you have time to come here to pick chrysanthemums with him?

Seeing that Tang Guang seemed to have a special liking for one of them, Rong Yushu approached and looked where Tang Guang's gaze was.

It is a white chrysanthemum, which looks very small and cute, and there is a faint red in the middle near the stamen, with a unique shape.

After looking at it for a long time, I didn't see anything unique about it, so I simply asked, "Does Tang Shaoqing think there is anything unique about this jade ball?"

Tang Guang shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just think of my father's favorite planting this kind of flower in the house in the past, and I feel a little nostalgic."

When Tang Guang said this, there was tenderness in his eyes, which made Rong Yushu a little curious, so he wanted to ask more, and said, "What does Tang Shaoqing's father do?"

In fact, what Rong Yushu wanted to ask was, who could teach Tang Guang's martial arts?

I thought Tang Guang wouldn't say much, but he didn't expect Tang Guang to think about it and said, "My father doesn't know martial arts, but he has good knowledge in medical science and is good at using poison. He has a good temper, although he never laughs." Pass."

Rong Yushu fell into a faint thought, what kind of person can be the kind of person who has a good temper and never laughs, ah, it's so hard to understand.

Forget it, Rong Yushu turned his gaze to the chrysanthemum in front of him, thinking seriously about what kind of chrysanthemum can be used for cooking.

That's right, as far as Rong Yushu's level is concerned, the most he can do to please the oiran is that he can think of a table of chrysanthemum feasts.

The chrysanthemum feast in Kaifeng is famous all over the world, but unfortunately I am not a special one, so I can only fight with my own influence.

Rong Yushu sighed, recently he has become more and more obsessed with money, but for 100 taels of silver, anyone can fight for it, and the money he used to buy ingredients is not his own .

To be honest, there are not many varieties of chrysanthemums that can be eaten, because most chrysanthemums taste a bit bitter, wild chrysanthemums?Cough cough, although it can clear away heat and detoxify, it is good to make tea and drink water, but it is slightly poisonous, and long-term drinking will cause discomfort.

Rong Yushu fell into deep melancholy looking at the chrysanthemums in full bloom in the garden, but the old man asked with some doubts: "Before you said you wanted to use chrysanthemums for cooking, what kind of chrysanthemums do you use?"

Rong Yushu said with some embarrassment: "There are not many chrysanthemums that can be cooked, but the taste will not be so harsh in the mouth." When he said this, he was even more embarrassed, saying: "I can taste Do you want a taste?"

Unexpectedly, the old man agreed very happily, saying: "Yes, except for dragon brain."

Rong Yushu quickly waved his hand and said, "Of course not. I can't afford such a precious variety even for cooking."

As he spoke, he glanced at the varieties of chrysanthemums in the yard, and squatted down to check them slowly.

Tang Guang stood aside, and asked suspiciously, "Can you really cook chrysanthemums?"

Rong Yushu said proudly: "Of course, there are many dishes that chrysanthemums can cook. Golden chrysanthemum palace swallow, white chrysanthemum proud frost wings, chrysanthemum leaf eel, lily double chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum-shaped mushroom... .”

There was obvious disbelief in Tang Guang's eyes, but a smile of admiration gradually appeared on his face, and he said, "I never thought you could actually make so many dishes." Then he nodded to express his appreciation.

Rong Yushu coughed and said, "Ahem, actually I don't know everything I said just now."

The smile on Tang Guang's face froze, and with a wave of his hand, he returned to his expressionless face, waved his sleeves, and walked aside.

Rong Yushu explained later: "Hey, Tang Shaoqing, don't leave. I haven't finished talking yet. In fact, I don't know everything. Simple things are still possible."

Tang Guang didn't want to talk to this person.

Rong Yushu pursed his mouth, he hadn't finished talking yet, he didn't say he could know all these dishes.

Looking at the many chrysanthemums, Rong Yushu was really melancholy, and when he was about to try them one by one, the old man next to him came up with an idea and said: "A few doctors came to my place before and picked some fresh chrysanthemums. For medicine, those should be non-toxic, do you need them?"

Rong Yushu's eyes lit up, of course, so he nodded, and the old man really pointed out something.

Rong Yushu tasted them one by one, and selected two kinds of chrysanthemums, which had a slightly sweet taste and were not very bitter, so they should be suitable for cooking.

Recalling what the old man said before, he asked respectfully, "Master, what are the chrysanthemums picked by those doctors before?"

The old man thought for a while and said, "Generally they are used as medicine, and some are dried and soaked in water for drinking."

Rong Yushu's eyes brightened even more, and he said, "Master, are there any leftovers from those used to soak in water? Can you share some with me?"

"Of course it's okay, just take it." The uncle seemed indifferent.

Rong Yushu smiled and said, "Thank you, sir."

Rong Yushu took a look, there were several pots of green chrysanthemums in the corner, Rong Yushu's eyes lit up, he walked over, tore off some, put it in his mouth and tasted it, the smell of chrysanthemums was very strong, but unexpectedly he didn't cry, it happened that Tang Guang came here unintentionally just now, and was a little surprised when he saw this pot of chrysanthemums.

Rong Yushu pointed to the green chrysanthemum and said, "Old man, do you sell the green chrysanthemum?"

"This..." The old man was a little hesitant, and Rong Yushu could see that the old man was a little bit reluctant, thinking that no matter what kind of flower it was, green ones were always precious.

Rong Yushu hurriedly said: "We only need one pot, five taels of silver."

Five taels of silver is already a lot of money for this old man who has been planting flowers for a long time. After thinking about it, he made up his mind and said: "Okay, but if there is any problem with the food, don't worry about it. thing."

"Of course, of course," Rong Yushu nodded quickly, fearing that the latter would regret it, he quickly picked out several kinds of chrysanthemums, one of which was white chrysanthemum, one was yellow chrysanthemum, and the rest was purple chrysanthemum.

The first two are fine, but when it comes to the purple chrysanthemums in the back, Tang Guang frowned and asked, "Is the purple flower edible?"

Before Rong Yushu could speak, the old man became complacent and said, "Why not? Young man, that's what you don't know. It's called Yannian purple chrysanthemum. I heard from the doctor that this chrysanthemum has been used for soaking for a long time. Drinking water is good for your body and prolongs your life."

Rong Yushu spread his hands, indicating that the old man was right. Tang Guang was silent for a while, took off a petal with his own hands, tasted it in his mouth, his brows gradually relaxed, and the reporter said to the old man: "The boy is stupid. .”

I picked a total of four kinds of chrysanthemums, among which the pot of green chrysanthemums was the most expensive, but fortunately, the total cost was less than eight taels of silver. I think it's worth it.

The chrysanthemums are blooming lushly, some have fully bloomed, and some are still budding.The Yannian purple chrysanthemum has a coquettish color, but he didn't expect it to be edible, which made Tang Guang really admire it.

Of course, what he absolutely refused to admit was that he still had some admiration for the person sitting next to him.

Seeing Rong Yushu focus on taking care of these flowers, a slightly quiet atmosphere surrounded the carriage, Tang Guang thought for a while, and said, "You are obviously a scholar, where did you know these ideas?"

Rong Yushu raised his head, seemed a little surprised that Tang Guang spoke to him, thought for a while, and replied: "Is there any idea? Actually, it's okay, there are actually a lot of dishes made with flowers. Let's change it a bit, and replace other flowers with chrysanthemums." ?”

He wiped the leaves of the chrysanthemum happily while talking, and said, "I think I can definitely get 100 taels of silver."

Tang Guang frowned and said, "Are you short of money?"

I saw that he valued three taels of silver so much before, and he agreed so quickly for 100 taels. Could it be that Rong Yushu's family is poor?

Rong Yushu shook his head and said, "I didn't know how to make money before, and I didn't want to borrow it. It's been a while, but I'm saving money now because I'm going to take the exam in Beijing next year, so I'm saving money."

This is the truth, when Rong Yushu hadn't been worn, the original body had always flattered the old saying "a gentleman doesn't accept food that comes with a slap in the face", so even when the money in the family ran out, he refused to ask Zhou Fuye for it.

If he said he had no face and no skin, Rong Yushu really had no face and no skin. Not long after he passed through, he borrowed a sum of money from Lord Zhou Fu, and only after that did he have what he is doing now. It is better to be thick-skinned than hungry.

Hearing Rong Yushu's words, Tang Guang remembered that the person in front of him was a candidate who would take the exam next year, and said hesitantly: "You come from a poor family, and it may be difficult for you to be an official. .”

Rong Yushu hated people saying such things the most, and said: "So what if you come from a poor family, isn't the purpose of the imperial examinations to select talents from the poor families?"

Tang Guang thought for a while, then sighed and said, "If you really come to Chang'an next year, I can vote for you."

Rong Yushu's eyes lit up, but he didn't expect Tang Guang to be so good, and asked, "Would you vote for me?"

Tang Guang was a little helpless, and said: "How is it possible, but Dai Zhou Dai Siqing can recommend it to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Minister of Dali Temple?Really awesome, Rong Yushu smiled sweetly and said, "Tang Shaoqing is really a good person!"

After thinking for a while, Rong Yushu tentatively said, "Tang Shaoqing, do you still lack some handymen in Dali Temple? Do you think I can do it?"

Tang Guang:......

Tang Guang rubbed his head, his head hurt a little, and said, "Let's talk about it." Really.

Rong Yushu curled his lips, what's the matter, in fact he is still very useful, there is absolutely no problem with documents and other work.
