The Moon Over Tang Dynasty

Chapter 104 Wash your hands and make soup. Goodbye Master

On the thinly rolled dough, spread a thick layer of raw marinated mutton sauce with black soybean pepper. Roll up the dough layer by layer, cut it into six sections about three inches long with a knife, pat it into a round shape, and put it in. In the oven, a strong aroma soon wafted out.

 The most common 100-year-old soup is burning on the stove, but the soup is an attractive white color, reflecting the green shepherd's purse, which is particularly eye-catching. The other stove eye is cooking rice. When it is opened, you can see that the rice soaked in Nanzhu leaf juice is crystal clear and refreshing green.

Liuli estimated that the time was close, and asked the cook to take the thousand-layer meat pie out of the oven, put it on a large silver plate with a lid, and brought it to the upper room together with the hundred-year-old soup and green rice.

Outside the door of the Su family's upper room, Su Tong was looking around. When he saw Liuli walking over with someone, he shouted, "Here comes the new bride!" He ran in and a burst of laughter suddenly came from the upper room. .

Several previously cooked dishes had been placed on the Su family's large dining table, and the meal was served as soon as the last three items were served. Mrs. Yu sat on the upper seat, Luo Shi stood behind her, and Pei Xingjian sat at the bottom. Seeing Liuli coming in, Yu Madam was already smiling from ear to ear. When she saw Liuli putting away the food plates, she hurriedly said, "Hurry up and sit next to Shou Yue. We don't have such rules in our family!" Then she looked back at Luo Shi accusingly, "You Don’t be mischievous, is it possible that I have to let you serve me today?”

Luo Shi chuckled and sat down across from him, but Pei Xingjian stood up, held the pot and filled the wine cup in front of his wife with his own hands, and poured two more glasses in front of himself. Liuli hurriedly walked over and raised her glass with him. Come, dip your armour, bullets, and wine in a toast. Mrs. Yu smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, it's time for you and your wife to respect each other and grow old together." As she said that, she drank a sip of wine. She didn't know whether the wine was too strong or drank too quickly. A little tear suddenly splashed out of the corner of her eyes. .

Luo Shi interrupted with a busy smile, pointing to the six lightly baked cakes on the silver plate and asked, "Madam, what is this? I have never seen you make it before."

Liuli smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, have you ever eaten Gulouzi? This is just a small Gulouzi. Liuli thinks that it would be more appropriate to call it Thousand Layer Cake."

Su Jin couldn't wait any longer, so she quickly grabbed one and took a bite in her hand, exclaiming, "It's so hot! So fresh!" She quickly changed her hand to hold the cake, taking a second bite while inhaling. Su Tong also grabbed it in his hand and started eating it. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Liuli picked one up and placed it in front of Mrs. Yu.

Mrs. Yu had already quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a bite with a smile on her face, and nodded repeatedly, "It's really delicious, much better than the greasy Gulouzi!"

Pei Xingjian ate it once at home yesterday. He took a bite slowly, turned to Liuli and smiled softly, "It's really improved again."

Liuli smiled and winked at him. Of course her thousand-layer cake was better than Gu Louzi's. Gu Louzi's mutton stuffing is mixed with butter, which becomes cloying if it's slightly cold. Her mutton stuffing is marinated in cinnamon sauce, which is fresh and tasty. The crust is thin, so it's easy to bake. Crispy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and spicy, which should be just right for the lady's taste.

The bride washes her hands and makes soup for three days. As a person without parents-in-law, she can only come to the Su Mansion to show off her craftsmanship on the third day in return for Su Dingfang and his wife taking care of Pei Xingjian for many years and hurting her again.

With sharp eyes, Luo Shi saw that the color of the hundred-year-old soup was quite different from usual. He quickly filled a bowl and gave it to Madam Yu. Mrs. Yu took a sip and asked curiously, "Why does the hundred-year-old soup taste like this today?"

Liuli smiled and said, "It's just chicken soup that has been simmered all night."

Pei Xingjian smiled and shook his head. Only then did he understand why she went to the kitchen secretly early in the morning to work on it for a long time, and then asked A Ni to get in the car with a jar and follow her all the way. Just because she didn't tell her who the jar of wine was for today, she was so angry that she didn't tell her what was in the jar...

Mrs. Yu nodded silently, took two more sips, and suddenly sighed, "If the general could taste this bowl of soup today, he might be very happy. He loves to think about eating, and Liuli is the only one in the family who has learned 80% of it!" Then he glanced out the window sadly, "I wonder where he is now?"

When she said this, Luo Shi felt sad, but a smile appeared on his face, "Didn't I just receive a letter a few days ago? I should be on the way now, I'm afraid I'm almost to Korea."

Liuli also smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? It won't take long before his adoptive father returns in triumph. At that time, Liuli will work hard to do a few things to honor his adoptive father, but Liuli's little skills may not be able to win over him. Eyes, I will ask my mother to persuade my adoptive father to use it reluctantly, and don’t be too disgusted. "

Mrs. Yu couldn't help but laugh, "What are you kid saying? It's too late for your adoptive father to be happy. You don't know that your adoptive father also said that you are more like the daughter of the Su family than Rong Niang!" As soon as the words came out, she herself was stunned, and hurriedly said to Pei Xingjian, "Hurry up and have a drink. I'm afraid it won't be fresh when it gets cold."

Luo Shi also stood up and filled a bowl of soup for Su Tong and Su Jin. "I just ate a cake. I used some soup. It is much more delicious than the hundred-year-old soup you usually eat." He turned to Liuli and smiled. Said, "You don't know, on the day I got married, when I went to the kitchen to feed my uncle on the third day, Ah Weng ate, but turned around and sighed with the family for a long time, saying that no matter what, he would never let me take care of him in the future. When I heard about the kitchen affairs later, I was so scared that I cried..."

Mrs. Yu was amused and laughed. Su Tong and Su Jin ate happily and talked and laughed. Mrs. Yu laughed and scolded them for not obeying the rules, and the whole room became lively.

After dinner, Mrs. Yu pulled Liuli aside, looked at her up and down and smiled, "I don't need to ask you. I will treat you very well as I keep my promise." Liuli couldn't help but blush, and Pei Xingjian responded. Of course she is good, but she is a little too good. She wishes she could do everything for her. So far, all the housework she has done has been to go to the kitchen and instruct the cook to cook some food. It is her fault. Mrs. Yu received such a difficult crash training as a housewife. Seeing her blushing and smiling face, Mrs. Yu suddenly had mixed feelings. She paused and then said, "It's just for these few days. In a few more days, I'm afraid the two sides will not stop. Where are those people's seniority? No matter whether you go with them or go against them, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss. If there is really a difficult matter, you can delay it as long as you can. Just find an opportunity to send someone to let me know, and I will definitely rush over! "

Liuli was moved in her heart and nodded solemnly.

Since both the Su family and his son were at home, Pei Xingjian could not stay for a long time. Mrs. Yu said a few words to Liuli and then let them go. When Liuli got in the car, she saw the wine jar in the corner of the car, and she felt very depressed: Her The mystery of the soup stock has been revealed, but he, Lang Gongqing, still doesn’t know who he is giving it to... He wants to ask Pei Xingjian, but looking at his hateful smile, he is determined not to tell!

They saw the carriage following Pei Xingjian's horse heading south. In a blink of an eye, they passed Yongningfang and entered Shengpingfang in the south, stopping at the entrance of a small courtyard. Liuli got out of the car and looked around a few times. This place was close to Leyouyuan, there were not many houses around, and there was no plaque on the courtyard door. It looked like it was a separate courtyard.

Pei Xingjian stepped forward and knocked on the door. When the door opened, an old man poked his head out. When he saw Pei Xingjian, he smiled and said, "Jiulang is here! Long time no see!"

Pei Xingjian smiled and nodded, turned around and said, "Liuli, come with me, you are all waiting outside." A Ni was startled and took two steps back. Liuli couldn't help but was secretly surprised. The person Pei Xingjian chose to visit today should be his elder, but from the tone of the concierge, he sounded very close and familiar. However, she had never heard of any elders that Pei Xingjian was close to. of? Why can't we bring people in?

After entering the door, I saw that the courtyard was very quiet. After entering and bypassing the screen wall, there was a winding path winding upwards among the shades of trees. After a while of tea, I turned around a rockery and saw several quite charming rooms. The simple and elegant jingshe is located at the highest point of the courtyard.

Liuli became more and more curious. Even if it was a separate courtyard, wouldn’t it be too quiet and deserted? It hardly looks like a place where people live, but more like a place for monks to practice. Could it be that Pei Xingjian not only has a cousin who is a monk, but also has an uncle who is a Taoist priest?

When we arrived at the steps of the monastery, the porter went in and made a call. After a while, he came out and said with a smile, "Please come in, my Alang is waiting for Jiulang."

I saw the door open, and inside was a room with almost nothing. There were a few futons on the floor, and a dozen weird large pictures on the wall. They were all connected or disconnected dots, densely packed. Densely marked in small print. You can see a back door leading to the backyard. Pei Xingjian did not hesitate, walked through the house and walked out. The backyard was also an empty flat land. There were only a few huts slightly larger than ordinary mazzas in the middle. There was a person sitting on one of the huts, lowering his head to tidy up. A few pieces of hemp paper in his hand.

Liuli followed Pei Xingjian, and before going out, she looked back and suddenly recognized what the strange pictures on the wall were. She counted exactly twelve pictures. Her thoughts changed slightly and her chest jumped uncontrollably.

The person sitting on the bed stood up with a smile, "It's rare to have good weather today, so you came early to keep my appointment." At first glance, this person seemed to be between forty and sixty. He was thin and dressed in a uniform. He is wearing a green robe with wide sleeves and a folded collar that is rarely worn nowadays. He has three long beards. He has a slender appearance and a leisurely demeanor. However, his eyes are so clear and penetrating that people dare not look directly at him.

Pei Xingjian bowed his head and said, "I've kept my promise to see Mr. Li."

The man laughed and said, "Why are you so polite today?"

There was a rare respect in Pei Xingjian's expression, "If it weren't for Mr. Li, how would we be able to keep our promise today? We have kept our promise and brought my wife here today to thank Mr. Li for his kindness that day and for his teachings over the years." He turned around and said softly to Liuli. , "This is the Grand Historian you have always wanted to see."

Liuli had already guessed something when he saw the star map all over the wall - there is only one Taishi Ling in the Tang Dynasty today, and that is Li Chunfeng. She had always been very curious about Li Chunfeng, and even said a few words in front of Pei Xingjian that Master Xuanzang was not Li Chunfeng. He just smiled every time. Listening to what he just said, he had been taught by Li Chunfeng for several years?

Liuli suppressed the excitement in her heart, walked up and bowed respectfully.

Li Chunfeng smiled and said, "No need to be polite." Then he smiled at Pei Xingjian and said, "It's good that you can come today. As for giving guidance, I can't talk about it. In the past few years, I have just studied the yin and yang arithmetic left by Li Weigong with you. If I didn’t have this book, my calculations wouldn’t be so smooth.”

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "Li Gong only gained a little, but if you keep the promise without Li Gong's guidance, you will be guarding the treasure mountain with no way to enter! I just don't know how good Li Gong's calculations are."

Li Chunfeng smiled sarcastically and said, "It will be available next year at the latest."

Liuli listened to their questions and answers, and a long-standing doubt in her mind was solved: Pei Xingjian was famous for his magic skills such as yin and yang, but Su Dingfang didn't seem to know this. She originally thought that Pei Xingjian was holding Li Jing's Shu is self-taught, but he never expected that there would be such a person guiding him...

She was lost in thought when Pei Xingjian suddenly turned to her and said, "I brought a jar of Lang Gongqing's to Mr. Li today, but I forgot it in the car. Go out and tell Ah Cheng to bring it in." "

 Forgot, would he forget such a thing? Liuli glanced at Pei Xingjian in surprise, then bowed to Li Chunfeng and retreated silently.

Seeing her figure passing through the house and disappearing under the steps outside, Li Chunfeng twisted his beard and smiled, "As promised, you, the newlywed lady, do have a strange appearance."
