Chapter 45
"What delicious food is it that our family has never eaten?" Wan'er felt a little contemptuous when he heard it, stopped the fan he was playing, and said to Chu Rui: "Senior, don't listen to his nonsense, He wants you to give him more money."

Chu Rui kicked Wan'er, "What nonsense!" He looked up at Boss Fang, "It's amazing to make Boss Fang say it's rare. Tell me, what's so good, I really want to try it."

"Bamboo rice! My son, have you heard of it?" Boss Fang weighed the basket over with a little flamboyance, "Look at it, it's all threshed, washed and steamed, the taste must be excellent. I haven't eaten it yet. However, I will also taste the blessing of dragging the son today."

Looking at the eldest son Chu Rui, Boss Fang said a few more words in a showy manner, "According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Bamboo rice, can enlighten the gods, lighten the body and benefit the qi. "The quality of bamboo rice is just as described in "Taiping Guangji", bamboo rice: "Its seed is thick, its color is red, and its taste is especially fragrant. "It is more precious than japonica glutinous rice. When it is cooked and eaten, it is both a rare food and a nourishing meal."

Chu Rui laughed loudly, "Boss Fang, Boss Fang, are you changing from a medicine hall to a restaurant? Why are you putting away the rice?"

Boss Fang hurriedly flattered, "I know you are here, otherwise, I would use it as a medicinal material. It takes 48 years for bamboo to grow from flowering to fruiting, and ordinary people don't have this opportunity. Look at this countryman, even after a catastrophe Years ago, even if I got bamboo rice, I would not bear to eat it, no, I came to my medicine hall to sell it as a medicinal material."

"The prince has never eaten anything. This kind of rare thing from the countryside is also the wish of the old man. Otherwise, I have not dared to invite the prince to eat after so many days."

Wan'er stared, "How can our son eat anywhere, and I'm going to die?"

Boss Fang forgot the taboo for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Oh, look, I got carried away again, and even forgot the dignity of the son. Or, look, son, you always take this rice back. It is a special product in the countryside? Go back to Beijing The gift of old age will naturally be prepared separately."

Chu Rui looked at the things in the basket and nodded: "Alright, I'm worried about what gift I should bring to my father, queen, mother and concubine. Well, it's better to be respectful than to obey. Thank you, Boss Fang."

Seeing that Chu Rui agreed to take it with him and presented it to the prince and concubine, Boss Fang was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted, "Thank you for your trust!"

He called the boy to prepare another basket with a stack of voices, and packed it beautifully.Put it together with other gifts, and wait for the eldest son Chu Rui to return to the capital to bring it back to the palace to offer as a present.

"It is said that bamboo rice is the food of the phoenix. In ancient times, there was a saying that the phoenix can't live in anything other than phoenix trees, and it can't eat anything other than bamboo." Chu Rui looked at Boss Fang. Come to bother Boss Fang, where did Boss Fang find the good things?"

Boss Fang hurriedly said: "If you come back to the son, it will be sent by the countryman. Oh, yes, it is the father and daughter you saw last time. You know each other."

"Oh?" Wan'er suddenly realized, "My son, the person Boss Fang is talking about must be that girl Ding Xiang. Or, in this Qingcheng, where do we know a father and daughter from the countryside? We will meet her every time we come here. Don’t let that girl know we’re here, so she came to look for us? It’s really a fate!”

Ding Xiang's pretty face flashed before Chu Rui's eyes, and he said coldly: "Why are you looking for us? Dare to step forward and take a sword from me!"

Wan'er pouted her mouth in a hurry, not daring to make a sound.
