Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 233
After comforting the old lady, and handing her the Yao grass, Wen Shu left the backyard of Xiong's house.

She only said that the Yao grass was obtained from other places, and she heard that it was useful for the eyes, so she brought it for her to try, but she couldn't guarantee whether it would work or not.

The old woman had already lost her grandson because she was blind and made a mistake, and felt guilty in her heart. Although Wen Shu gave up the idea of ​​committing suicide, she still hated and blamed herself for her eye disease.

At this time, she heard that Yaocao might be able to cure her eye disease. Even if Wen Shu said she heard it, she was not sure, so she decided to give it a try.

It can't be cured, at worst, it's still the same.

But if it is cured, at least she won't be a burden to the old man. Maybe there will be a day when she sees her grandson again. If her eye disease is cured, she can see with her own eyes what his grandson looks like.

In this way, after Wen Shu left, Granny Xiong ate the six stalks of Yao grass without hesitation, including all the fruits and roots.And Wen Shu thought of the distressed appearance of the old couple who lost their grandson, sighed sympathetically, and decided to visit them more.

Time passed quickly, two days passed in a blink of an eye, and the third day was the day when the Wen family invited the neighbors to dinner.

Fuqing Restaurant is located on the bank of Wuzhang River. Looking out from the window of the box on the second floor, you can see the entire Wuzhang River. There are five bridges on the river, and the bridge facing the gate of Fuqing Restaurant is called "Qinghui Bridge". ".

At this moment, Wen Shu leaned on the window and looked out.

There were many pedestrians coming and going on the bridge, but what attracted her attention was a young scholar with a book basket on his back and a drawing board in his hand.The scholar was about twenty years old, and he was looking at the front with a concentrated expression, occasionally swipe the paintbrush in his hand on the drawing board.

Is this sketching?

Wen Shu muttered something, and then heard the door of the box open behind him, and Father Wen panted, "Is the food ready? Just now, someone from the shop came to buy birthday materials, and asked a few more questions, but it was late."

Wen Shu shook his head: "I haven't ordered any dishes yet, I just ordered some salty and sour fruits and drinks. I'm not sure about the dishes, and I want to wait for my father to come and see them."

"Then let's get started, and the neighbors will come later." Father Wen nodded and greeted the outside.

Within a short while, four or five young servants brought twenty or thirty plates of colorful dishes to the table.Seeing dishes is a dish that you can only look at but not eat. It is different from ordinary menus in that you can more intuitively know what materials the dishes are made of and how the "color and aroma" are after they are made.

As for the taste, you can only know it after you taste it.

It was the first time for the Wen family's father and daughter to eat at the main restaurant, but they had heard of the name of the dishes. At this time, watching those servants put plates of brightly colored and fragrant dishes in front of them, I just felt it was an eye-opener. .

After a lot of detailed comparison, the father and daughter finally settled on a menu combination of eight meat and twelve vegetables, and the drink is naturally the signature "Yulouchun" of Fuqing Restaurant.

But this Yulouchun is not cheap, a small jar costs three pennies, so Wen Shu counted for a long time, and finally only ordered a jar of Yulouchun, plus three jars of other wines.

After ordering, another quarter of an hour later, the neighbors who were invited arrived one after another. There were five families in total. There were no. No more.

Father Wen greeted everyone to sit down, and Wen Shu wanted to help pour drinks, but she was stunned by an unintentional glance when she passed the window.

It was almost noon, and the number of pedestrians on the Qinghui Bridge was much less, so when the woman in the darker bras was passing by the bridge with a bundle, Wen Shu saw it at a glance.

Putting down the jug he had just picked up, Wen Shu limped and ran out of the box quickly.

"Hey, Aning." Papa Wen opened his mouth and shouted, but Wen Shu had already rushed out the door.

"Where are you going, girl, in such a hurry?" The neighbors asked curiously.

"Maybe you met someone, you eat first." Father Wen greeted everyone, while looking out the window with his head.

Although Wen Shu rushed downstairs as fast as she could, her foot injury hadn't healed, and her running speed was definitely not as fast as usual, so when she ran out of the restaurant, the woman in the dark purple bra She had already got off the Qinghui Bridge and got into a brown carriage. From her perspective, she could only see the back of the carriage.

The carriage was already running. Although it wasn't fast, it couldn't match her current speed. Fortunately, the carriage this time was not an ordinary green-covered carriage, and there was a circular mark on the body.

Although she didn't recognize it, it didn't prevent her from remembering it.

The city of Bianjing is very large, but it is also very small. The person who was originally thought to be found only by looking for a needle in a haystack did not expect to meet him by such a coincidence two days later, so she may meet again in the future.

And this time she had more clues, and the carriage was also a clue.

Although there are many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen in Bianjing City, there are only a few who can own a carriage, and there are marks on the carriage, so as long as you inquire carefully, it is only a matter of time to find it.

Just like that, she went to look for the hawker near the carriage stop just now, and asked if anyone knew which carriage and horse had just left.

Although the hawkers said they didn't recognize him, Wen Shu was not disappointed, at least there was an extra clue, didn't he?

The woman in the dark purple bra just now was the one that Ri Wenshu bumped into, and she was also the serious suspect who took Shunzi away. Traces can always be found.

Although Shunzi had nothing to do with her, she was very sympathetic to the old couple who lost their grandson and was very sympathetic. If she could help find her, she would certainly lend her hand.

Back at the restaurant, Father Wen asked her why she went there. Wen Shu only said that she thought she saw a classmate and wanted to ask a few words, but she misunderstood and admitted the wrong person.

Father Wen had no doubts, and nodded for her to sit down and eat together.

Time passed by, and seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

In the past seven days, Wen Shu didn't go to other places except to visit Mrs. Xiong and the old man twice in the west of the city. The Yaocao she sent for the first time had already had an effect when she went to visit again on the third day.

As soon as she left, the old lady excitedly took her hand and said that her eyes could see things, although it was a little blurry, but she could already see people clearly.

Wen Shu was also very happy when she heard this, and immediately agreed to ask the person who gave her the weed to see if he could get some more, and then the next day she sent a small handful of Yao weed, a total of ten or so stalks.

And when she went there for the third time, the old lady could already see her clearly, and kept praising her, saying she was pretty.

Perhaps her eyes could see, and the old lady's mood improved a lot. She no longer blamed herself for committing suicide, but her expression was still somewhat lonely and sad.

Wen Shu thought about it for a while, and then told her about the woman she ran into, and said that she would help to pay attention in the future, and let them take care of themselves, waiting for the day when the grandparents and grandchildren meet again.

Grandma Xiong was very excited when she heard that, she kept holding her hand and begging her for help, and then asked her, what does the carriage look like?What does the sign on the carriage look like?If they are free, they can look for them.

Wen Shu found a piece of paper and drew the pattern for them. Grandma Xiong took it carefully, and then said that she would send it to the government.

Wen Shu nodded, and also thought it would be a good idea to send them to the government, since it was always easier for the government to find someone than them.

Grandma Xiong's personal experiment gave Wen Shu an idea of ​​the efficacy and dosage of Yaocao. In addition, the injuries on her hands and feet are almost healed. Except for two shallow scars on the palms, they are almost the same as usual. different.

So this morning, after breakfast, Wen Shu couldn't wait to experiment, trying to make delicious delicacies from the "exotic flowers and herbs" obtained in the Book of Mountains and Seas.
