Chapter 573 The Friendship of a Roasted Chicken
When the two came out of the cellar, they had already beaten the five watch drums.The starlight dimmed, and the toad palace moved eastward to hang the willow branches, and it was already dawn.

At the brightest spot of the torch, a man in a fine attire and a jade belt sat between the teeth of the wooden fence, dangling his legs boredly.With a cloth bag in his arms, he rubbed a handful of fried rice into his mouth.

It is delicious to eat.

Happy and pure emotions are always easy to catch people, Mu Dianke waved his hands and shouted: "Chang Qi."

Chang Qi looked up, and saw under the dim light and the moonlight, a delicate and handsome young woman had just leaned out half of the ground, smiling at herself with a pair of eyebrows and eyes, she was so frightened that she trembled, and barely held on to the fence.

The fried rice bag in his arms was not spared, and fell to his feet with a "slap" and splashed on the ground.

"Four...Miss Four." Chang Qi smiled awkwardly, raised the surviving paw and shook it, and timidly received it behind his back: "What a coincidence."

Mu Dian was greatly frustrated, and looked apologetically at the bamboo board on Chang Qi's right arm.

"Archie is here." Liang Qing also came out of the cellar, opening his mouth to ease the sudden strange atmosphere.

"Yes." Chang Qi seemed happy that Liang Qing asked him for help, stretched his legs, jumped off the fence, happily pointed to the flowers and trees in the garden, and talked eloquently, with a taste of pointing out the country.

"The one with red flowers is star anise, and the one next to it that bears green fruit is also star anise. It's just two different varieties of star anise, and the flowering period is different. Now the one that blooms is the cypress fruit, which usually blooms from March to May, and from September to May. The fruit is ripe in October. The fruit that has already set is the spring rough fruit, which blooms from August to October, and the fruit ripens from March to April of the following year; you see, some fruits are already ripe, and they will fall off due to natural air drying.

The fruit of star anise can be used as medicine after drying, and can also be made into spices.It has the effects of expelling wind and regulating qi, harmonizing the stomach, and dispelling cold and dampness.

The plant is mostly distributed in the southeast of Guangxi, the west of Guangxi, and also grows in Fujian and Yunnan, but it is not common in the Jianghuai area. "

"The yellow flower is Xiaohuaixiang, also known as fennel. It is pungent in taste and warm in nature. It has the effect of regulating qi and dispersing cold. It can cure cold hernia, cold pain in the lower abdomen, kidney deficiency, low back pain, stomach pain, vomiting, and dry, Wet beriberi etc.

The flowering period is from five to June, and can be extended to July, and it will bear fruit in September and October.This plant is drought-resistant, and it is more common in the north, and it is also planted in Sichuan and Shu. "

"The one with purple flowers is called rosemary. It has a long flowering period and can be cultivated properly. It can bloom from November to April of the next year..."

Mu Dianke interrupted Chang Qi: "You mean, as long as they are cultivated properly, the flowering periods of these three plants can be connected, so that the fragrance of flowers will last for four seasons?"

Chang Qi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right."

"And apart from rosemary, star anise and xiaohuaixiang are rare things in the Jianghuai area, but they were transplanted here and carefully cultivated to survive?"

Chang Qi nodded again: "In fact, except for the fact that rosemary was popular for a while when it was introduced in the early Wei and Jin Dynasties, it is rarely used as a garden plant, and most of them grow in the mountains."

Mu Dianke fell into deep thought.

As Chang Qi said, Tan Zhou took great pains to plant such a large expanse of exotic flowers and trees in the courtyard, carefully matching the varieties, so that the fragrance of the flowers lasts for many years, so what exactly is he trying to cover up with these strange smells?
Does the wine smell good?
I have heard that good wine is afraid of deep alleys, but I have never heard of wine shops that are afraid of the fragrance of their own wine.

The word Weizang sounds elegant, but it really doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

"Uncle Liang, can the wine in this village be moved away?" Chang Qi was a little scared when he saw Mu Dianke frowning, so he found a way to chat with Liang Qing: "Uncle Ling said, when the plague is quelled, we will get rid of it." The flowing water banquet rewards everyone, drinking for three days and three nights, and never gets drunk, anyway, no one wants this village, so I took it back with a cart, and saved the money for drinking."

"I'm afraid it's poisonous." Liang Qing said.

Chang Qi laughed: "Uncle Liang, you are too good at joking. What are we doing, are we afraid that people will poison the wine? Even if it is poisonous, I will make it non-toxic."

Chiliu rushed out: "Come on, I'll go and test it. If it's not poisonous, don't stop me."

Liangqing could be regarded as quiet, his thick eyebrows were furrowed, and he was also thinking about what Chang Qi said.

He and Mu Dianke had the same idea: Tan Zhou, no matter what he did, had a deep purpose, and he valued the pros and cons itself more than any elegant taste.The taste is hidden, and what is hidden is probably not the taste of wine.

"Tsk tsk, tsk tsk," Chang Qi swung his legs between the rows of wine racks, amazed.

"That's too much wine, it's the big wine vat of Thousand Buddhas, and I can't drink so much wine in my life." Chang Qi looked up, and was taken aback by the rows of dark wine jars hanging above his head. Turning around and shouting: "Do you think the person who puts the wine racks is stupid? It's so tall and so close. If someone accidentally bumps into the rack, it's not like pushing a bamboo card. It will all fall down with a crash."

Shaking the wine shelf tentatively with his hand: "Well, it's quite strong."

As if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind, Mu Dianke's heart instantly brightened.She finally knew where the strange feeling in her heart came from when she saw those wine racks.

The shelves are too closely spaced!

As Chang Qi said, if you fall one, the frame will fall.Those who run wineries will not fail to understand this truth.Moreover, there is no partition wall in the middle of the house, and it is clear that these shelves are intended to flutter... Mu Dianke was startled, and came up with a bold idea: Tan Zhou arranged it this way to wait for these shelves to fall down!The countless wine urns must be smashed to pieces at the moment of activation, and all the wine will be poured out.

and then?
Her mind quickly flashed through the stepped stonework in the cellar that supported the dense wine jars, as well as the square bricks on the ground where the wine jars were placed, the brick texture, size, and joints... suddenly bright!The wine vessels in the wine cellar seem to be placed securely, but as long as the underground mechanism is activated and the stone bricks are shifted, all the wine vats and jars will be overturned in an instant.

But what is Tan Zhou's purpose?
Destroying all the wine storage must be to obtain greater benefits.drown them?Smoke them?Wasn't it because she was afraid that she would move all the wine away like Chang Qi, and get a windfall for nothing?

Mu Dianke sat on the steps with his chin resting on his shoulders, his head hurting from thinking about it.

Chang Qi pulled a chicken leg and handed it over: "Here you are. Only when you are full will you have the strength to think about problems."

Mu Dianke shook his head. It's not that she's hungry, but she has no appetite at all.

Chang Qi was sincere in giving Mu Dianke the chicken legs, and he was really happy to take back the chicken legs. With one hand, he spread the oil paper wrapping the roast chicken on his legs, and happily gnawed on the chicken legs.

The reason why he got close to Mu Dianke all of a sudden and no longer feared her was because Mu Dianke bought him a roast chicken.

The roast chicken was brought to him by Yaojia, and he carefully prepared a cup of mellow milk drink.Chang Qi almost dropped his jaw in shock, and asked in surprise, "How do you know I like roast chicken?"

Yao Yi said with a blank face: "Young lady ordered."

Chang Qi was even more confused: "When did she tell you, why didn't I hear it?"

"A secret word." The face of Yaojia, the leader of Tianzi Palace Yaozi's generation, turned black: "Do you want it or not?"
