A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Cheng Chumo glanced around and said in a low voice, "Wu Wang Li Ke has come to visit my father at my house."

"This is what it should be." Gu Qing nodded, "Your old man treated His Royal Highness King Wu well back then."

"That was before." Cheng Chumo added, "After so many years, we have all changed, but you have not changed. I feel that His Highness King Wu has also changed."

Seeing Cheng Chumo's serious face, Gu Qing couldn't hold back his laughter.

"What's so funny." Cheng Chumo pulled Gu Qing and said, "After His Royal Highness Wu finished chatting with my old man, the old man said that the Cheng family will not see visitors until His Highness Wu leaves Chang'an. Tell me What are these things."

Everyone knows Cheng Yaojin's personality. He is informal on weekdays, and he is polite to juniors. Occasionally there will be some jumpy behaviors, but he takes good care of many juniors. He should shut the door because of a junior who loses his temper like this. No visitors!This behavior is very different from Cheng Yaojin's character. If Cheng Yaojin has trouble with him on weekdays, this guy will come to ask for advice with an ax in hand, but now he has made such a move. Cheng Yaojin should not be holding an ax Go knock on Li Er's door, and ask what kind of son you have while making moves?This doesn't seem right, Cheng Yaojin shouldn't be so stupid as to go to Li Er to challenge him one-on-one.

Chang'an's incarnated old devil actually wants to close the door and see no visitors?This matter will definitely have rumors in Chang'an, Gu Qing thought in his heart, if Wu Wang Li Ke really has a problem, Cheng Yaojin found out again, but he couldn't say it, so he had to use this abnormal behavior to tell most of Chang'an People, Wu Wang Li Ke has a problem.

It is said that Li Ke, the king of Wu, is very happy to go to the fief to visit the mountains and rivers, but no one can say how much this guy has changed.

"You are talking." Cheng Chu watched Gu Qing silently.

The signal of Cheng Yaojin acting as a demon is intriguing, Gu Qing made a decision after several considerations, "I'm going to meet your old fellow."

"Farewell." Cheng Chumo said listlessly, "My old man is not seeing anyone now, and I probably won't see you either."

"What's the rush?" Gu Qing nodded and said, "The Mountain Man has his own plan."

On the second day, Gu Qing got up early and said to Fan Jian, "Go and buy chestnuts that cost a lot."

"Chestnuts?" Fan Jian was puzzled. Chestnuts have always been a very common food.

"What are you doing in a daze if I tell you to go?" Gu Qing said.

"Yes!" Fan Jian went to do it immediately.

After breakfast, Gu Qing came to the front yard to bask in the sun. Wu Mei, Gao Yang, and Li Ran went to Ganye Temple to pray for blessings and enjoyed the warm sunshine. The earliest records of sugar-fried chestnuts appeared in the Song Dynasty, probably It is because sugar is not easy to extract. In this era, there is no such thing as sugar-fried chestnuts.

Fan Jian came here with his servants carrying three big baskets of chestnuts, and Gu Qing never thought that he could buy so many chestnuts with money.

He ordered the servants of his family to help Gu Qing prepare to process the chestnuts first, how could he not eat fried chestnuts in sugar this season.

Busy until noon, Gu Qing brought a basket of sugar-fried chestnuts to Chang'an Dongshi, found a stall in Dongshi, and began to set up pan-fried sugar-fried chestnuts. Quite a few, at least now it's not as crowded as it was in the morning.

Fan Jian clapped his hands and began to stir-fry chestnuts with sugar in a small pot.

The fat monk knew that Gu Qing was coming and hurried over to Dongshi, "Boss Gu, what are you doing?"

"It's none of your business, I just have nothing to do to stir-fry chestnuts." Gu Qing took a few chestnuts that had just been fried and gave them to the fat monk, "Try to see if they are delicious."

The fat monk peeled off the chestnuts, took a bite, tasted it, and said after swallowing, "It's delicious, Mr. Gu's craftsmanship is good."

Gu Qing also peeled off one and ate it in his mouth, "It's a bit too sweet."

After reducing the syrup, Gu Qing continued to stir-fry and the taste was much better this time.

The unique aroma of sugar-fried chestnuts began to permeate. This smell is not too strong, and it does not float too far, but people immediately surrounded it.

"Ten cents a bag!" Gu Qing laughed and hawked.

A bag of about [-] pieces is expensive and not expensive. Niu Jinda, who was wandering around in the East Market, immediately noticed Gu Qing's stall, and immediately stepped forward to look at Gu Qing and shouted, "What are you doing here!"

"Selling sugar-fried chestnuts." Gu Qing hurriedly took out a bag of fried sugar-fried chestnuts and handed it to Niu Jinda, "Try it, Uncle Niu, I think it tastes good."

"Really?" Niu Jinda was skeptical, "It's just chestnuts, what else could it be?"

"Uncle Niu, appreciate it carefully!"

Niu Jinda ate one and thought about it. The unexpectedly soft and glutinous chestnuts were very different from the fried chestnuts he usually eats. A bag of pennies is not expensive, and basically anyone passing by will buy them.

"Gu Qing." Niu Jinda cleared his throat while eating candied chestnuts and said solemnly, "What have you been up to lately?"

"My boy, what else can I do." Gu Qing handed over the roasting of chestnuts to Fan Jian and said to Niu Jinda, "I live in seclusion these days, and I read books at home every day to understand the way of a saint."

"Hehe." Niu Jinda sneered, obviously not believing it.

Seeing Niu Jinda's old face, Gu Qing changed his mind and said, "The kid hasn't forgotten about his business recently. The Li family in Zhao County is also selling tea recently."

"I've heard about it a long time ago, but I have some regular customers in my hand, so I'm not afraid that the Li family of Zhao County will come to snatch the business." Niu Jinda didn't panic at all, "Are you thinking about nothing else except business?"

"What else?" Gu Qing wondered.

"You bastard." Niu Jinda said worriedly about Gu Qing, "It's been a long time since you came to Chang'an, and you didn't come to Suzaku Street to meet your uncles for a drink. What's the matter? When your wings are stiff, you're alienated?"

"Don't dare dare." Gu Qing apologized again and again, "Uncle Niu can take as many stir-fried chestnuts here as he wants, as much as he wants."

"You bastard who doesn't know anything." Niu Jinda said again, "How could the old man care about your chestnuts."

There was something in Niu Jinda's words, Gu Qingchang sighed, "Life is hard, so I have to come out and sell chestnuts."

"Hehe." Niu Jinda sneered again, "I can make chestnuts to such a degree, I would admire you, tell me how you came up with this idea."

"It's just that the boy suddenly discovered that there are not many chestnuts to buy. Many farmers have chestnuts and can't sell them. If this continues, they can only be kept in their own homes and they will rot. So the boy thought of a way to sell sugar-fried chestnuts."

"You know this is not what the old man asked." Niu Jinda said again.

It seems that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, although he didn't say clearly that it seems that Niu Jinda is eyeing his secret recipe of candied chestnuts, Gu Qing sniffed aggrievedly, "Uncle Niu, boy, you are suffering, you know that the boy's situation is completely fine. It is necessary to sell sugar-fried chestnuts by myself, in fact, there are difficulties in this.”

"What is the difficulty, just say it." Niu Jinda saw a breakthrough in the topic and asked.

Seeing that Niu Jinda took the bait, Gu Qing said, "Yesterday, after Uncle Cheng took the kid's secret recipe, he began to close the door and see no customers. From now on, this exclusive secret recipe is not allowed to be leaked by the kid. He can only sell it by himself. It's not easy for the kid to share the secret recipe." Hand it over to other people, for the sake of the many people in Chang'an, the boy had no choice but to come out and sell it himself."

"Do you think the old man will believe your nonsense?" Niu Jinda sneered.

"Uncle Niu, believe it or not, anyway, the kid can't give this secret recipe to Uncle Niu, it's really helpless."

Speaking of which, Gu Qing took another bag of sugar-fried chestnuts and handed them to Niu Jinda, "Uncle Niu eats more if he likes to eat, I'm afraid that if he wants to eat in the future, the threshold of the Cheng family will be indispensable."

Niu Jinda still looked skeptical when he took the sugar-fried chestnuts.

After Niu Jinda left, Gu Qing whispered to the fat monk, "You take a bag of fried chestnuts with sugar and go to Li Xiaogong's house to show off, just lure him over."

"Understood." The fat monk went to work immediately.

Li Xiaogong was still asleep at home, drunk last night and was awakened from a dream by the servants at home, "What happened early in the morning."

"Patriarch, it's already noon." A servant of Li Xiaogong's family said, "There is a new kind of food in Chang'an, and the young masters all want to eat it."

"Food?" Li Xiaogong lay back on the bed, still unsatisfied, "Just go and buy it."
