Chinese dining table

Chapter 48 The Sense of Rhythm at the Dinner Table

Ever since he came into contact with Tangren, Yunchu felt that he had never met a fool.

And when he was in the Aries Department, to be honest, he didn't meet a smart person.

When getting along with fools, Yun Chu felt very tired, but now he is better, and finally joined the ranks of smart people, and then he found that his life was even more tiring.

Kucha City is just a banquet that Yunchu has already eaten.

And after the banquet, there is another process that must be followed, which is to pack and take away the leftovers.

Living frugally is a virtue of the Tang people, and everyone from the emperor to the common people is following this virtue.

It's not that you can't eat delicacies from mountains and seas. After tasting the delicacies from mountains and seas, take away the rest of the food, which is in line with Tang people's values.

Now, those barbarian merchants who have increased are the leftovers that Yunchu is going to take away, leftovers, and these meals will be kept in Chang'an for eating.

These leftovers, the leftovers Yunchu originally planned to share with Fangzheng, but later learned from Fangzheng that the Ninth Fold Chong Mansion in Shangzhou led by Ding Dayou would return to Shangzhou for reorganization after the Battle of Laoshan was over. It was found that Ding Dayou was the best collaborator.

Ding Da did not live up to Yunchu's expectations at all. On the second day, He Yizheng said that he led his subordinates to Kucha City with injuries to mourn those brothers and sisters who died in the battle.

For this reason, He Yizheng, who has obviously read a lot of books, is very emotional, saying that Ding Dayou is a rare martial artist with friendship among the many Zhechong regiments in the Western Regions, and those in the army who only know how to fight for military exploits The sluts of the [-]s are worlds apart.

He taught He Yizheng how to sew the wound hand in hand, and the relationship between the two naturally became stronger with each passing day.

It was strange to say that He Bingshu, He Yizheng, and Liu Chong and Liu Yizheng had the same status, and they were both Yizhengs. However, when Liu Chongyi saw He Yizheng, he was quite afraid of seeing a cat.

And when Doctor He was ordering Liu Yizheng, he didn't take into account that the two had equal official positions, and his attitude towards Liu Chong was even worse than that of Yunchu, the doctor.

"Doctor Yun doesn't know anything, and doctors also talk about family status. Our master is Zhang Honglu, a famous doctor who cured Emperor Taizong's dysentery. His official rank is Honglu Qing.

Except Sun Shenxian, which family of doctors can compare with He Yizheng, if not for Liang Wuhou's invitation this time, my family's doctor would not have traveled all the way to the Western Regions to suffer.

He, Zhang Chong, was born as a rural doctor, and he advanced to the medical profession through hard work in the army. Doctor Yun must not be friends with him, as it will humiliate his status. "

Siyi Yun felt that his identity might not be as good as Liu Yizheng, so it was suspicious that He Yizheng treated him so well.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess.

Doctor He has taken a fancy to Yunchu's ability to suture wounds.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with this. Yun Chu, who had left the university long ago and worked in the system for seven years, did not have much resistance to such things.

It's not impossible for others to take their own things, but they have to pay an equal price.

Being an imperial physician was not Yun Chu's goal, so this kind of ability was an advantage he could exchange.

He Yizheng probably knew from Ding Dayou that Yunchu had the wonderful ability to suture wounds, so he left Ding Dayou to clean up and leave it to Yunchu to use his skills.

Before witnessing Yunchu's ability, He Yizheng didn't say a word to Yunchu. He didn't take the initiative to get close to Yunchu until the wound was stitched up and the injured looked good.

Later, when Yunchu said that catgut is the best suture, he was willing to put down his figure and make friends with Yunchu.

Yun Chu knew all this, and among the people Fang Zheng warned him not to offend in the army was this He Yizheng.

Today, I learned about his family's origin from Yaotong again. From Yunchu's point of view, after Fang Zheng and Ding Dayou, his third big dish in the circle of Datang people was officially served on the table.

If Fangzheng is a side dish of porridge, which can nourish people's spleen and stomach and store energy, then Ding Dayou is a meat dish, which can strengthen muscles and bones, grow meat, and increase strength.

What kind of dish He Yizheng is currently serving, Yunchu still can't grasp it, but from what he has seen so far, if it is not a dish of sea cucumber with green onions, it is at least a dish of braised tendons.

When eating at the table, the best state is to have a dish in your stomach, with a dish in your mouth, with a dish in your chopsticks, and with your eyes fixed on another dish. This is the most effective and most effective way to enjoy a big meal. Quick way.

Fangzheng's dish has obviously been swallowed, and Ding Dayou's dish has already been bitten in his mouth. How to put He Yizheng's dish on the chopsticks needs to be studied carefully.

If it is too early, it will burn your mouth; if it is too late, the food will be cold. Grasping the right timing is very important for Yunchu.

He Yizheng invited Yunchu to drink tea.

Yunchu didn't like the tea that He Yizheng brought, because what he drank was not tea at all, but oil soup with tea added.

The shepherds on the prairie drink buttered tea, and Yunchu accepts it, because the living environment forces them to do so. Buttered tea can remove oil well, and has a good effect on increasing physical fitness.

It is difficult for people to understand that people in the Tang Dynasty drank oily soup and tea, especially He Yizheng, as a doctor, could not be ignorant of the damage to the body caused by drinking oily soup all day long. Garlic, ginger, jujube, orange peel, dogwood, mint, clove star anise and salt are far more difficult to taste than buttered tea.

However, after seeing He Yizheng's slightly upturned eyes, which were bound by the gauze on his head, and the corners of his eyes drawn into the temples with an eyebrow pencil, Yunchu understood that he must make this oil soup tea Drink it down, because this is what is called an aristocratic fan.

It is very important to do as the Romans do, and even this custom surpasses etiquette in many cases.

When the big leader went deep into the pastoral area to explore the impoverished areas, the local officials who were careless really took the big leader to sit in the home of a real poor herdsman.

When the herdsmen offered pure white hada, and the herdsmen's wife wiped the silver bowl with holy cow dung, and then used the silver bowl to fill the silver bowl with buttered tea to present to the big leader, the big leader dipped his fingers in the milk tea and respected heaven and earth with shame. After that, drink it clean in one sip.

Because the bowl was not closed, the enthusiastic wife of the herdsman filled it up again, for fear that the distinguished guests would be dissatisfied.

So, the big leader drank three bowls of buttered tea at the herdsman's house that day, and expressed his reluctance to leave.

Back in the county, Yunchu heard the voice of the secretary of the big leader cursing at the top of his voice, which could be heard clearly in the whole corridor.

Then, the big leader didn't take another bite all day, and even if he did, he would throw up whatever he ate.

Having such an experience, Yunchu drank the tea soup in one gulp without even frowning when facing the sheep tail oil that had not completely melted in the tea bowl.

After drinking, he pouted and said: "In the past, I lived in the mountains with my master, and I only drank plain tea, which is not as strong as Yizheng's tea soup today.

I secretly think that when making tea soup, pine cones are the best. When the pine cones are burned, there will be a touch of rosin blended into the tea soup. Put it in, when the sheep oil is about to melt, put in the dry tea powder, at this time, the sheep oil will wrap the tea, and the two flavors are completely compatible, then add jujube, orange peel, dogwood, mint, and wait for the water to boil Put green onions and ginger to remove miscellaneous flavors, and finally use salt, the ancestor of all flavors, to unify all flavors. In this way, the monarch, ministers and envoys are all complete, and taking a sip is like drinking cheese spring. "

He Yizheng clapped his palms and said with a smile: "Today I just met a bosom friend, and the teacher is a sage in the mountains and fields. He can drink a ladle and eat a sack of food without changing his ambition. How can ordinary people in the city like us compare with it.

Come, come, come, the water boils three times at this time, it is the wonderland of tea that "the sound of the pine rain falls into the tripod, and the white clouds are full of flowers in the bowl." Let's drink together! "

Yun Chu supported the bottom of the tea bowl with one hand, and grabbed the tea bowl with the other, calming down. When his heartbeat calmed down, he first sniffed the disgusting smell of the oil soup, and then observed the appearance of the tea soup with "pine flowers floating in a tripod, and orchid air entering the pot lightly" , and finally imagined the artistic conception of "Jade dust is fried to shine out of the haze", and then I closed my sense of smell and taste, and drank this bowl of tea soup completely covered with suet.

For a long while, neither of them spoke, completely immersed in the timeless temperament of tasting tea, and could not get out of trouble for a long time.

Drinking tea can't be full, and drinking tea three times is full, and people will laugh at it as a cow's drink. Therefore, Yunchu can only watch with regretful eyes as an eight-foot-tall boy removes the stove and tea set.

He Yizheng stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Two times of tea, can't Si Yi be satisfied?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Yi Zheng is an elder, and his mind has long been cultivated to be meticulous and peaceful. Yun Chu is just a young man, how can he know what temperance is?"

He Yizheng smiled and waved his hands and said, "Young brother, you are self-effacing. Just your ability to suture wounds with needle and thread is enough to make you famous all over the world, and you have a bright future."

The smile on Yunchu's face gradually disappeared, and he said with a little sadness and dissatisfaction in his voice: "Isn't the family teacher also old and dead with such a wonderful ability? Where does the world's reputation and future come from?"

Doctor He was tapping on the case with his index finger knuckles and said: "Young brother is now 13 years old and already a doctor of the eighth rank. Don't you mean that you don't want to rely on this skill to find a way for yourself to be promoted?"

Hearing the words, Yun Chu seemed extremely angry, he tore off his clothes forcefully, exposed his back, and turned to He Yizheng, "Are these scars from a certain family worthy of being an eighth-rank doctor?"

Doctor He was looking at the dense scars on Yunchu's back that hadn't fully healed and said, "Among all armies, trying to gain a future is not what we should do as a doctor."

Yun Chu put on his clothes again, looked at He Yizheng and said, "Yizheng doesn't know something, a certain family has already exchanged all their wealth for this thing!"

As Yunchu was talking, he slapped the admission notice of the four schools on the table.

He Yizheng, whoever he is, was shocked by a mere admission notice of four schools. Although he felt that people like Yunchu actually got the admission notice of four schools, it was a bit unworthy.

Still whispered: "Could it be that young brother is going to abandon medicine and become an official?"

Yun Chu smiled wryly and said, "The soil of my teacher's grave has not been dry for a long time, so it can be seen that being a good doctor is not what my teacher wants."

He Yizheng secretly rejoiced in his heart, but said: "It's a pity, it's a pity."

Yun Chu stared at He Yizheng with his slightly red eyes and said: "If the doctor is able to buy a residence for a certain family in Chang'anfang City, from now on, whenever anyone asks about the technique of suturing trauma, Yun Chu It is affirmed that such ingenious techniques come from He Bingshu and He Boan, I just practiced medicine in the army and occasionally saw Doctor He doing this kind of thaumaturgy, I can't learn from a teacher, I just got some skin."
