Chapter 58 Son, you are young and strong

Mutton

This time it was even more advanced, using the most premium gifts from the charcoal shop.

Copper hot pot, burned with incense charcoal.

After preparing the meal, Cao Ping and Liang Xin sat at the same table in the hall.On the other side of the screen, Cao Tan sat at a table.

Liang Xin took out the gift: "Taishan, I found a very delicious seasoning. Please try it."

Liang Xin took out the spicy food.

Cao Ping looked at it, then looked at it again, and suddenly said: "Xian son-in-law, I went to change into cloth clothes. There is a fire in this shabu-shabu, so silk clothes are not convenient."

"Yes." Since Cao Ping asked to change clothes, Liang Xin also felt that wearing such gorgeous clothes would be inconvenient for eating hot pot.

A servant from home came to take Liang Xin to change clothes.

Just before Liang Xin, Cao Ping shouted: "Tan'er, come here."

Cao Tan came over, and Cao Ping pointed to the can of spicy oil: "Try it, Brother Shen said it's a new seasoning."

Cao Tan picked up the small spoon and prepared to put a spoon in his mouth.

When it reached his mouth, Cao Tan stopped: "Dad, why don't you taste it yourself."

Cao commented: "You are young. If you feel any discomfort after eating it, you are always strong and healthy. It is better than being a father."

Cao Tan:......

Cao Ping took a sip of wine: "This looks very weird, but it seems delicious."

"Dad, if I die, will you save a lot of dowry?"

"It's a joke. It's impossible for the food my uncle brought to you to eat you to death. At most... you'll feel uncomfortable for a few days."

At this time, Liang Xin came back.

Seeing Cao Tan holding a small spoon of spicy food, he was hesitating.

Liang Xin sat down and took out a small bowl: "Last time I ate hot-boiled mutton, I told you that one ingredient was missing. Sesame paste, sesame oil, coriander, salt, green onions, plus this, it's perfect." After that, he gave it to himself. Put half a spoon in the small bowl, mix it well with chopsticks, taste it, and immediately stick out your tongue: "This should be less, less."

When Cao Ping saw it, he snatched the spoon from Cao Tan's hand, picked out about one-third of the spoon with chopsticks and put it in the bowl.

Rinse a piece of mutton and dip it in it.

This taste... spicy!

It is several times stronger than dogwood, and it is extremely delicious when mixed with this ingredient.

Cao Tan turned around and went back behind the screen, pouring the rest of the spoon into his bowl.

After a while, the sound of breathing came from behind the screen.

Liang Xin shouted: "If it feels spicy, just put a piece of ice in your mouth."

After shouting at Cao Tan, Liang Shencai said to Cao Ping: "Taishan, when it comes to eating and taste, according to my son-in-law, there are seven flavors and eight flavors. The seven flavors are sweet, sour, numb, spicy, bitter, fragrant, and salty. Eight. The taste is fishy, ​​sour, peppery, strange, spicy, red oil, ginger juice, and dry roasting.”

"So, with this chili pepper, it really has a taste."

"This product is hot in nature and can dispel water and dampness. A child eats cold water during the lunar month and lies down in the shade. In autumn, he develops malaria. All medicines have no effect, and it lasts until early winter. He occasionally eats spicy sauce, which is quite palatable. He needs this product every time he eats it. , and use it to cook porridge, and after a while, the malaria will heal on its own. The water accumulated in the chest and diaphragm turns into cold phlegm, which is pungent and dispersed, so it is like soup with snow fungus."

After hearing this, Cao Ping put down his chopsticks and asked, "Which book is this recorded in?"

Liang Xin didn't hesitate for a second and immediately answered: "It was given by Emperor Shennong in my dream."

"In a dream?"

Regarding Cao Ping, Liang Xin did not hide anything: "One day, I was competing with someone in the courtyard for the oiran. Who would have thought that it was an official. At that time, I was hit on the head with a candlestick by the official. I met an immortal in my dream, and when I woke up, I was also Get smarter.”

With the status of the Cao family, it is not difficult to find out that Liang Xin was killed by Zhao Ji and a candlestick that day.

Liang Xin said again: "It's a pity that after dreaming for a while, if it had been longer, I would be either a miracle doctor or a poet." Liang Xin said this just to end the topic.

But who would have thought that Cao Ping said seriously: "Don't dare to spread this to the officials." "Understood." Liang Xin knew clearly that it was Zhao Ji who hit her with a candlestick, and this matter must not be mentioned again.

Cao Ping continued: "When the official was still King Duan, he was obsessed with Taoism. If he listened to it, he would probably hit himself with a candlestick. This..., you understand."

"Ah..." Liang Xin really never thought that this was possible.

"Drink... the official's, um, virtuous son-in-law." Cao Ping poured a glass of wine for Liang Xin himself, but he did not continue what he was about to say.

What was Zhao Ji like when he was a child? How he grew up. At the age of 17, because he liked to look at the two maids next to the Queen Mother, he went to the palace to work as a flatterer when he had time...

How did the throne come about?

Cao Ping dared to say that there were no more people in the Song Dynasty who knew better than him.

Late at night, Liang Xin returned to her home.

I didn't go back to the backyard, so I slept in the study room in the front yard.

The next day, before dawn, Liang Xin got on the carriage and went out to the dock where Bian Jing was.

Today is the day when Cai Jing and Cai Bian were exiled to Baizhou.

Liang Xin had never seen Cai Jing, a famous celebrity in history. After such a fuss for so long, she always had to take a look.

What Liang Xin didn't know was that another person also went to the dock at this time.

Zhang Dun.

After all, Zhang Dun was once the prime minister, and the two brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian were Zhang Dun's right-hand men, and he also wanted to see him off and say a few words of comfort.If there is an opportunity in the future, we will find a way for the two of them to return to Beijing.

At this time, I only talk about Liang Xin.

When we arrived at the pier, there were many people here.

In Bianjing City, commerce is still quite developed, and cargo ships start unloading goods before dawn.

Liang Xin wore a big bamboo hat with a black gauze hanging on it.

He was wearing ordinary linen clothes and stood on the dock holding a knife.Eunuch Hai and others stood around, like a group of people escorting precious cargo.

Soon, the wooden carriage arrived, not one, but many.

Cai Jing, if we don't mention what he did and his reputation in later generations, just look at his face at this time, which is white and fair, with a short beard, and he looks like a very cultivated and elegant scholar.

Zhang Dun was about to step forward when his son, Zhang Yuanshang, stopped him for the fifth time.Then he pointed not far behind him.

Zhang Dun turned around and saw a group of people coming this way, led by a man on a horse.

The horse came near.

The leader, dressed in splendid clothes and jade belt, rode his horse to the cage cart, turned over and dismounted, glanced at all the cages with his hands behind his back, and pointed to one of the wooden cages.

The person in the wooden cage was pulled out by this person's servant.

Eunuch Hai approached Liang Xin and said, "Young master, the person riding over is Brother Yi from the Pan family, and the person the servants pulled down is Cai Jing's eldest son, Cai You."

Liang Xin nodded.

The next scene surprised Liang Xin.

I couldn't help but take a few steps forward to get a better look.

I saw Cai You asking Pan's servant to hold him down in the river. After a while, he lifted it up. Cai You knelt on the ground and spit out water. But before he could spit out a few mouthfuls, Pan's servant pushed him into the river again.

Cai Jing cursed: "Pan Yi, do you think there is a king's law in your eyes? Dare you lynch a doctor?"

At this time, everyone on the dock fled far away, except Liang Xin who deliberately took a few steps closer.

As for Zhang Dun, he thoughtfully motioned to his son Zhang Yuan and himself to step back.
