Chapter 82 False Glory Is Glory

In Yunchu's gentle narrative, Chen Zhu is a very gentle man who loves his wife and children very much.

In Qiuci, he was reluctant to eat and wear, and tried his best to save every penny. The purpose was to return to Chang'an, take his wife and children, and leave that cruel home.

After six years away from his hometown, he misses his hometown, his wife and children all the time, and often tells Yunchu and the others that he already has two daughters, and he should raise a few more sons with his wife...

For this reason, when he was seriously injured and dying, he specifically told Yunchu to hand over the fifty thousand money he left behind to his wife, and hoped that his wife could raise his two daughters well and give them money in the future. Have two splendid weddings.

After listening to Yun Chu's words, Mrs. Liang fainted from crying several times, and his two children cried out "Grandfather" and "Grandpa", which moved people to tears.

Although Cui was moved by Chen Zhu in Yunchu's words and kept wiping away tears, she still saw complete indifference in Yunchu's eyes.

After arranging for Liang's mother and daughter to rest in the guest room, Cui looked at Yunchu and said, "Is that Chen Zhu really as affectionate as you said?"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "He must be like this."

"Just because he's a dead man, you can paint him all you want?"

Yun Chu let out a long sigh and said, "When Chen Zhu died, I was by his side. I saw a stone flying towards him, and he actually pushed me forward. I just needed to raise the shield and smash the stone away, and he would survive. , After I thought about it, I felt that if a stone came towards me, Chen Zhu would not be able to help me resist it.

So, I just gave up and dodged...the rock just blew his head off.

I piled his body on the wall for seven days. After the war, when I found him, his body was almost turned into water. Gooey bugs almost put out the fire..."

Cui retched, and Yunchu stopped describing it concretely.

Finally said: "Do you know, when Chen Zhu chatted with us, what he talked about the most was that after returning to Chang'an, he would sell his wife who couldn't give birth to a boy, use the money to rebuild a good house, and marry a rich man. The big dick, big ass daughter gave birth to a baby.

I know that Chen Zhu has no conscience and does not conform to my outlook on life, so I will send his vicious parents to prison and take back all the wealth of his brother who is a nest of snakes and rats , I calculated, after their family took out 27 pennies, there was basically nothing left.

Chen Zhu didn't want to be a good person, so I had no choice but to help him be a good person, husband, and father.

Only in this way can I be worthy of my kindness in bringing his ashes back from the Western Regions. "

"Is the IOU real?"

"Of course it is true. There is also Chen Zhu's palm seal on it, but I helped him cover it."

When Yun Chu said these words, his two eyeballs turned slightly red, like red charcoal fire that was about to go out in the dark night.

Choking with sobs, Cui said: "Your Majesty will be a prince for generations to come, enjoy wealth and glory, and have endless descendants."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "It should be like this, after all, I came to Datang to do good things."

Liang Shi woke up from her grief. Although she was still wearing tattered clothes, her demeanor was completely different from when they first met, and she seemed to be alive again.

Even the two girls no longer flinched, and smiles began to appear on their chapped faces.

"The concubine has nowhere to go now, so I can only ask Mr. Lang to allow the concubine, mother and daughter to live in Jinchang Fang for the sake of being a colleague of my humble husband."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "It's natural, it's natural, now that you have money, you can rent a small house in Jinchangfang, do some small business and sell in the West Market, and you must be able to live on.

After Fangzheng returns, you can ask him for help, and he will naturally arrange the mother and daughter properly. "

Mrs. Liang took her two daughters, bowed in an upright manner, and then went back to the guest room.

Watching their mother and daughter go back, Yunchu said to the old monkey who had just brought Naha home: "People who live in the illusion are the happiest, no wonder so many people become monks.

Although physically harsh, every night in the temple is a moment of happiness for the monks.

Because, every time the night falls, there must be a bright water and land dojo in the heads of the monks. "

The old monkey shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Only when I live in Pingkangfang can I experience the benefits of all things being empty."

"You didn't take Naha to Pingkangfang, did you?"

"Monk Kuiji was recruited away by the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. We had an appointment today to eat a dish called Hunyang Shenhu, so we brought Naha with us. We didn't expect to eat it. We heard from Kuiji about this dish. It's worth three thousand dollars."

"The sheep die suddenly? Isn't this Huihe dialect?"

The old monkey suddenly realized: "If you don't listen carefully, you really can't tell that this means mutton buns in Huihe dialect."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's very similar to the roasted camels made by Huihe Khan, and it's also a good food.

So, do you know why Kui Ji was called away by Dali Si Cheng? "

The old monkey sighed and said: "Seventeen days ago on a snowy day, a monk murdered Concubine Xiao Shu on Zhuque Street who was going home to visit her relatives."

Yun Chu said: "Why does the monk want to assassinate Concubine Xiao Shu?"

The old monkey said: "I heard that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty just brought back a beauty from the Monk Temple not long ago."

Yun Chu chuckled, pointed at the old monkey and said, "Have you monks degenerated to the point of helping a concubine to compete for favor?"

The old monkey said: "I don't know, anyway, it's not about the affairs of the Great Mercy Temple."

Yun Chu recalled the group of assassins he met that day with a strong smell of sandalwood, and couldn't help shaking his head. It's unknown who came up with such a clumsy method to frame people.

Naha hoped to eat Hunyang Shihu at night, and Yunchu felt that this kind of dish should not be eaten by a thrifty family like the Yun family.

Hun Yang Shihu is actually a very wicked dish. The belly of a whole sheep is broken open, and a goose is stuffed inside. The goose belly is filled with glutinous rice, mushrooms and other delicacies are mixed evenly with seasoning, and the goose is stuffed into the lamb belly. Inside, in the belly of the sheep, the outside is stuffed with spices, and after the belly is sewn up, it is put on the fire and roasted.

After the mutton is roasted golden, discard the mutton and eat only the goose in the belly of the mutton.

In winter, there are basically no green vegetables in Chang'an. I heard that there is a very small amount of leeks and spinach in Wentangjian's supply. These quantities are probably not enough for the emperor to eat, so naturally they will not flow into the people.

After entering winter, the only vegetables that the people can eat are dried vegetables, salted vegetables, pickled vegetables, and radishes stored in the cellar. Maybe some people will brave the severe cold to dig some lotus vegetables for a change of mouth. A decent meal, pure dreaming.

Yunchu’s family has salted vegetables, and Yunchu asked San Fei, the cook, to cut the salted vegetables into thin strips, wash them twice with clean water to remove excess salt, and stir-fry them with vegetable oil.

Then cut some green garlic seedlings from the flower pot for later use, make a big piece of tofu, cut into slices and fry them finely with sesame oil, take them out when they are burnt yellow, and fry seven or eight eggs with the remaining sesame oil.

Finally, put these things in a casserole, add water and simmer slowly, when the soup is thick, grab a handful of garlic sprouts and throw it into the casserole, whether it is an old monkey or a greedy Naha, At this time, they have already forgotten the existence of the immoral dish of Hunyang Shenhu.

The wheat flour produced by the stone mill is a bit rough, and the bran cannot be cleaned, so the steamed steamed buns have a lot of bran on them, similar to the whole wheat steamed buns that Yunchu had eaten before.

Cui Shi and the cook Sanfei watched with their own eyes how Yunchu made a stewed tofu with salted vegetables, and recorded the production process in detail, preparing for the Yun family to develop and entertain guests in the future.

After the old monkey and Naha ate a casserole full of dishes, he remembered that he still had a master.

This dish is a vegetarian dish, as long as there are no fried eggs, it is a dish that suits Xuanzang's appetite very well.

Under the strong request of the old monkey, Yunchu had no choice but to continue to make a completely vegetarian stewed tofu with salt vegetables. However, after adding yellow flowers and fungus, Yunchu finally made this dish into a dish that the poor could not afford .

"Have you always respected Xuanzang so much?"

"No, sometimes when I feel irritable on the westbound road, he will scold me, and I will scold him too, but, after scolding, continue on the road."

"Since you have your own position for Xuanzang, why should you respect him so much and curry favor with him?"

The old monkey looked at Naha who was trying to find broken fried eggs from the casserole, and looked extremely gentle.

"The only ones who can make the people of Tang not care about Naha's appearance are the Emperor Tang and Xuanzang.

Although the Emperor Tang could change Naha's fate, it was only for a while after all. When the Emperor Tang died, the protection he gave Naha would also disappear.

Only Xuanzang can protect Naha from anyone's discriminating eyes, because Buddhism has been through the ages and the Dharma is boundless. "

Yun Chu nodded and sighed, "Yes, even putting down the butcher's knife can instantly become a Buddha. As long as Naha enters the light of Buddha's light, people will only be proud of her."

The old monkey smiled and put the boiling casserole into a food box, and carrying the food box, he crossed the road from the back door of Yunchu's house and entered the Daci'en Temple.

Xuanzang was wearing a black monk's robe and sitting in a pavilion that was ventilated on all sides, making tea and drinking.

Naturally, the tea he drank did not contain sheep tail oil, nor onion and ginger, which could give the tea a strange taste.

The pine cones were burning vigorously, the copper pot was filled with steam, and the black pottery teacups were filled with bitter tea. Xuanzang was enjoying himself in the bleak winter alone.

The old monkey entered the pavilion with a gust of cold wind, and Xuanzang sighed: "I just built a barrier between cold and warm in the pavilion, and you broke it."

The old monkey laughed and said, "How to reconcile the warmth brought by the stove with the coldness brought by the cold wind? It's just that you are closer to the stove, and the coldness is assimilated by the fire, making you feel comfortable.

Come, come, pick up your chopsticks, and taste some delicious food. "
