Chapter 354 Thirteen Fragrances

"Mr. Su, do you live like this every day?"

In the small courtyard, Zhu Xi was helping Su Jing to fetch water from the kitchen tank. This was his second day here.

After finally coming here, it is naturally impossible to go back directly after asking questions, and always stay for a few days.

As for the person who came to live in Su Jing's small courtyard, it was impossible for Su Jing to let him idle.

Even if you are a prince.

Zhu Xi didn't have any complaints, even though he was a complete dandy prince before Su Jing taught him.

"Then how to live?"

Su Jing was standing in the yard playing Wu Qin Xi, very serious.

Su Jing has always attached great importance to health preservation.

Regarding the matter of longevity in ancient times, Su Jing saw it very thoroughly, and it is possible only if there is no disease and no disaster.

"I heard from my eldest brother that Mr. Su has many shops in Lishui County and has so much money that he can't use them all. Mr. Su, why don't you buy a big yard and hire a lot of servants and slaves? As long as you have money, you won't need anything. Done."

Zhu Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead. It still took a lot of effort to fill a tank of water.

For Zhu Xi, being served by others is a matter of course.

Because he is the son of Lao Zhu, the son of the lord of the world, and the king of Qin, who will rule the whole land.

Su Jing shook her head and said: "King Qin, you are wrong. People living in this world cannot do nothing."

Zhu Xi immediately said: "Mr. Su, it's fine if you have money, if you spend money to let others do it, don't you have to do it yourself?"

"Prince Qin, I am just a businessman, and my money is not conjured out of thin air. Isn't it true that making money is also doing something?"

Su Jing continued to play Wu Qin Xi and chatted with Zhu Xi.

Zhu Xi nodded and said: "That's right, making money is actually a lot of trouble, it's not as easy as doing these jobs."

Zhu Xi was still deeply impressed by the soap business last time.

It was the first time he led an event by himself, and he was praised by Zhu Yuanzhang in the end.

"You saw the firewood in the corner, please help King Qin chop it."

Su Jing was still playing Wu Qin Xi indifferently, but seeing that Zhu Xi had just finished one thing, he asked him to do the next one.

"Yes, Mr. Su."

Zhu Xi didn't care about drinking water, and came to the firewood pile in the corner again.

The ax and wooden stakes were already prepared, of course Su Jing had prepared them for himself, but it was only by chance that Zhu Xi came.

Zhu Xi picked up a long piece of firewood and put it straight on the stake. He raised and lowered the axe.

Not surprisingly, the first ax bounced off without breaking through at all.

As the saying goes, if you haven't eaten pork, you haven't seen a pig run.

But in Zhu Xi's place, he had never seen what it was like to chop firewood.

Su Jing didn't speak, and didn't give any guidance, just continued to practice his Wu Qinxi.

Zhu Yu didn't yell, and directly started to study the method of chopping firewood.

In the distance, the guards in charge of Zhu Xi's safety were watching everything that happened in the courtyard through binoculars.

"His Royal Highness King Qin is fetching water and chopping firewood. Is this really good? His Majesty knows, and he will probably punish us."

A young guard looked a little ugly. They were Zhu Xi's guards, and they were not only responsible for Zhu Xi's safety.

The other guard said calmly: "It's okay, that's Mr. Su. Let alone carrying water and chopping firewood, His Majesty will not blame Mr. Su's feet even if His Royal Highness King Qin washes his feet."

The young guard's expression changed drastically: "Really, boss, you are not kidding."

"I'm not joking. Anyway, what Mr. Su asked His Highness King Qin to do, as long as it doesn't endanger life, we don't care about it."

The guard boss said with a smile.

As the boss, naturally he spent a long time in the palace and had a lot of experience.

Being able to be responsible for Zhu Xi's safety is still very easy at this level.

Click!

Zhu Xi finally split the firewood, and his face showed excitement.

"Look carefully at the section. There are textures on it. The next time you chop wood, you can get twice the result with half the effort to read the texture."

At this time, Su Jing opened his mouth to remind.

Zhu Xi followed Su Jing's prompt and began to observe, and the firewood chopping went much smoother.

"Mr. Su, you really know everything."

After chopping for a while, Zhu Xi stopped to rest his feet, and thanked Su Jing by the way.

At this time, Su Jing had finished exercising. He took a cup of tea and walked up to Zhu Xi and handed it over: "It's just life experience. For you, King Qin, these are novel things, but for the common people, this is daily life." .”

"Thank you Mr. Su."

Zhu Xi took the water and drank it in one gulp as he was already thirsty.

"Mr. Su, if there is enough money, is there really no way to do nothing?"

Zhu Xing asked Su Jing, Zhu Xing really likes to have fun.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Xi, but didn't laugh at him.

After all, it is normal for a teenager to be immature.

Not everyone can be like Zhu Wei, who already has thoughts beyond ordinary people when he is less than ten years old.

"Of course not. Just say your father, he is the emperor, and the entire Ming Dynasty is under his control. There should be no one richer than him in the whole world."

Su Jing said to Zhu Xi: "But whether your father is busy or not, I think you should be very clear."

In terms of wealth, the emperor is the most important.

Because in the whole world, could it be the land of the king!
Su Jing can be regarded as a successful businessman, but compared with Lao Zhu, it can only be a world of difference.

But Lao Zhu's busyness is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Zhu Yu fell into silence. In fact, when he was in the palace, he couldn't see Zhu Yuanzhang most of the time.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang is his father.

As for what Zhu Yuanzhang was doing, Zhu Xi didn't know when he was a child, but now he knows it too.

Going to court, dealing with government affairs, studying, teaching the prince Zhu Biao, etc., the last thing is to urge them, the princes, to study.

Perhaps from a father's point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang is not considered competent.

But Lao Zhu, as the emperor, is definitely conscientious.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who is so rich, is busier than anyone in the world.

"Looks like you understand too."

Su Jing looked at Zhu Xi and said with a smile: "King Qin, one has to do something in one's life. Of course, for you, you can indeed choose to be a dandy prince or a raging vassal king, but I think, then It's not what you want, King Qin."

In history, the king of Qin, Zhu Xi, was quite cruel. Anything that went wrong would reveal his cruel side.

However, Su Jing has already changed Zhu Xi, and the wheel of history has already changed.

"What Mr. Su said is very true, people always have to do something."

Zhu Xi nodded, throwing away the unrealistic fantasy in his mind.

Even the emperor couldn't do anything, let alone him.

"Okay, after chopping the firewood, you can rest for a while, and go out with me later."

Su Jing said lightly to Zhu Xi.

"Yes, Mr. Su."

Zhu Xi immediately started chopping firewood again.

In the yard, Su Jing took out cloth bags one by one, opened them all, and inside were those damaged spices.

Su Jing took out another homemade scale to weigh the spices.

It's not that there is no accurate small scale, it's just that Su Jing needs to increase or decrease weight slowly, so the traditional scale is not very convenient for one person to use.

"Forty qian anise, 24 qian cinnamon, [-] fennel, [-] qian each of dried ginger, kaempferen, and nutmeg, [-] qian of amomum, [-] qian of grass fruit, [-] each of woody incense and galangal, tangerine peel , cloves, eight qian each, pepper six qian.”

Su Jing talked about the ratio of various spices, and then weighed them out one by one.

However, not all of these spices are available, and there are some things that even Su Jing does not have.

But without Su Jing, he didn't pay too much attention to it. He was just doing it casually, and the most important thing is to get the finished product out first.

Su Jing's careful weighing behavior naturally attracted the attention of the woodcutter boy Zhu Xi.

Those piles of things looked like medicinal materials.

"Mr. Su, are you sick?"

Zhu Xi asked with concern.

Zhu Xi also heard a little about Su Jing's ability to cure diseases. It is said that Su Jing helped to cure the illness of Chang Yuchun, Duke of E.

However, Zhu Xi didn't know much about the specific inside story.

Su Jing just finished weighing all the spices, and looked up at Zhu Xi: "King Qin, how did you know that I was sick?"

Zhu Xi immediately said: "Isn't Mr. Su dispensing medicine now? Do you still have to boil medicine later?"

Hearing this, Su Jing immediately laughed: "Hahaha! It seems that I misunderstood King Qin, but I am not dispensing medicine."

"Then what is Mr. Su doing?"

Zhu Xi asked curiously.

Su Jing smiled: "I won't talk about it for now, Qin Wang, you take a bundle of firewood and go to the kitchen with me first."

Ok?
Zhu Yu was a little confused, what was he doing in the kitchen to boil medicine?
"Yes, Mr. Su."

Although puzzled, Zhu Xi followed Su Jing's instructions, picked up a bundle of firewood and followed Su Jing into the kitchen.

"King Qin, please light the fire."

Su Jing once again arranged a task for Zhu Xi, to light the fire.

Zhu Xi nodded, sat down in front of the stove, and started to light the fire.

Su Jing simply washed the weighed spices with water to remove the dust on the surface.

After waiting for the temperature in the pot to rise, Su Jing poured all the washed spices into it.

"Small fire, don't make it big."

Su Jing reminded, and then gently turned the spices in the pot with a spatula.

Zhu Xing immediately concentrated on it, carefully controlling the fire in the stove.

As the spices continued to roll in the pot, the water vapor on the surface evaporated, and all the spices became dry, but Su Jing still did not stop and continued to stir-fry.

After about one or two minutes, the aroma spreads from the pot.

The speed of Su Jing's flipping became faster and faster, and the whole kitchen was soon filled with fragrance.

"It smells so good, Mr. Su!"

Zhu Xi couldn't help sighing.

Su Jing ignored it, and concentrated on looking at the spices in the pot, waiting for the fragrance of the spices to be completely stimulated.

When the aroma reached its strongest point, Su Jing scooped out all the spices in the pot and poured them into the bowl.

"King Qin, you can turn off the fire."

Su Jing held the bowl and said to Zhu Xi.

"Yes... yes, Mr. Su."

Zhu Xinggang was still immersed in the scent, but when Su Jing called out so suddenly, his whole body was shocked.

After frantically turning off the fire, Zhu Xi saw that Su Jing had already taken out a medicine roller.

Su Jing threw all the roasted spices into the medicine mill, and then began to grind them continuously.

The fragrance burst out again at this moment, becoming even more intense.

Zhu Xi quickly walked in front of Su Jing, carefully looked at the finely crushed spices in the medicine grinder, and asked curiously, "Mr. Su, what exactly is this?"

Because of the roasting, the medicinal materials are easily crushed, and Su Jing's weight is not much, and the grinding is completed in minutes.

"This is Thirteen Fragrances."

Su Jing replied with a smile.

Thirteen incense?
Zhu Xi was stunned, not knowing what Su Jing was talking about.

"Mr. Su, what is Thirteen Fragrances?"

Zhu Xi asked Su Jing.

Su Jing explained: "It's very simple. It is the mixture of the spices I just weighed and crushed. That is, the powder in front of you is Thirteen Fragrances."

Zhu Xi was still at a loss. Seeing the strong smell of the powder in the medicine roller, he frowned and said, "So, Mr. Su, is this some kind of medicine powder? What disease does it treat?"

In Zhu Xi's mind, these things were still drugs.

"Strictly speaking, Thirteen Fragrances can indeed cure diseases, but they are only used to treat diseases of the stomach."

Su Jing followed Zhu Xi's words.

Zhu Xi's eyes lit up and said: "What kind of disease is the disease of the stomach? Or what kind of disease of the stomach can be cured?"

"Don't worry, King Qin, it's time for us to go out."

Su Jing carefully put the thirteen incense into the jar prepared in advance, and sealed it.

Zhu Xi was still very curious, and went out with Su Jing.

However, as the two of them arrived at the gate of Jinling Hotel, Zhu Xi was dumbfounded again.

Why did this treatment go to the door of the hotel again?

"Boss, are you coming to dinner? The old seats are all ready."

As soon as Su Jing arrived at the door, the shopkeeper of the Jinling Hotel immediately ran out to greet him.

At the moment of the recent turmoil, the shopkeeper of Jinling Hotel has been very vigilant.

When Su Jing came, he must be greeted in person.

"No, go directly to the back kitchen."

Su Jing said directly.

He didn't come here just to eat.

"Okay, boss."

When he heard that he was going to the kitchen, the manager of Jinling Hotel understood that Su Jing must be developing new dishes.

His expression is also a little excited, which is an important reason why he has always been extremely loyal to Su Jing.

Su Jing's cooking skills, especially the new dishes she developed, are really amazing!

"Who is this?"

The shopkeeper of Jinling Hotel also noticed Zhu Xi behind Su Jing, and asked cautiously.

"Niu Shuang, Niu Yi's younger brother."

Su Jing spoke first and made up an identity for Zhu Xi.

The reason? Su Jing didn't want her peaceful life in Lishui County to be disturbed.

There is a huge gap between a successful businessman and the prince's teacher.

"It turned out to be the Second Young Master Niu. I said that he looks a bit similar to the First Young Master. Please come in!"

The shopkeeper of Jinling Hotel immediately welcomed Zhu Xi.

He can see how good the relationship between Zhu Biao and Su Jing is, so he will definitely not neglect Zhu Xi in the slightest.

Zhu Xi nodded, very curious.

But he didn't speak, just followed Su Jing, watching silently.

This is Zhu Biao's teaching to him before he came, talk less, watch more and do more.

Zhu Xi is practicing it very seriously.
