The leisurely life of Lin Yuxi

In the next few days, I made rice dumplings, cleaned up the Westinghouse, and sent the meat hanging in the afternoon to the Westinghouse. It was cold in the Westinghouse, and the things would not melt.And the pony for Erwa is also ready.It was already a week later when he was free to play with those books.

Turning the pages of the book, Yuxi was very grateful for his mother's education, which made it easy for him to read traditional Chinese characters. "Pengyue Letters" is indeed the diary of the cave owner.A few things are written above.

That man was originally a martial arts person in the late Qing Dynasty. He learned from Buddhism and Buddhism, but he was different from the thief that most people think. He was an assassin. The mysterious assassin Wuying in the late Qing Dynasty was his alias. The Kongkong Sect disappeared overnight, and he was the only inner disciple who survived because he had been wandering outside.He has been doing his best to investigate the matter.

In the 16th year of Guangxu, Wuying received a secret letter from his master, which only vaguely mentioned that the matter of Kongkongmen was related to the palace.In the 17th year of Guangxu, Wuying entered the palace to investigate secretly.After spending nine years in the palace, he finally had some clues, but the matter was related to the Empress Dowager Cixi at that time, and even a treasure was involved.His master is not only good at empty hands, but also very proficient in Qimen Dunjia. Back then, the Qing court forced him to build a secret vault with a lot of rare treasures in it, but it was a back road prepared by the Qing court.All the participants were silenced, and only the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and the executor Rong Lu knew about it.After the Reform Movement of [-], Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned, and only two people knew about the treasure.

Wuying hibernated for another two years, took advantage of the Gengzi Incident and the civil strife in the palace, stole the treasure map and escaped from the palace.While fleeing, he was injured by pursuers.Finally escaped here.Died two years later from old injuries.

Looking at Wuying's essays, Yuxi feels that the whole person is immersed in the time and space of history. This notebook was recorded intermittently by Wuying for two years.Can feel some real historical events in the late Qing Dynasty.Just like the Reform Movement of [-] and the Gengzi incident, there are strong written records. Wuying is a man of the world, but he is also somewhat bloody. He even wanted to assassinate Cixi, but there were several masters sitting around Cixi, and he was discovered before entering the body. .Because of this, he was discovered so quickly after stealing the treasure map, and was finally pursued.

As for the treasure map mentioned in this essay, Yuxi didn't find it. The three of them only took three boxes that day.There was also no sign of a treasure map inside.Wuying mentioned in his letter that he went to Longxing Land to investigate the year before his death. The location of the treasure was very secret. He only found the place but didn't go in. The old injury relapsed and he came back here again.

It is recorded in the manuscript that many strange men and women were used to build the treasure.Even if you have a treasure map, you can't enter.There was no mention of the treasure after that.In the latter part of the handbook, I wrote a lot of reading thoughts.

Those few books were all found in the library, which was part of the collection of the Qing Palace. Except for the sword and arrow method, the other books were collected as miscellaneous books. Wuying used to work in the library, but these books were stolen by him. A more valuable book that I found after reading it.He sighed at the end, but it was a pity that the time was too short to study it carefully.

After reading the entire manuscript, Yuxi took a deep breath. This Wuying spent so many years in order to find out the truth and endured humiliation, and finally paid for his life.What the hell is holding him up.Although he got the treasure map in the end, the tone in the letter indicated that he didn't have much intention for the treasure map. Later, he found that he couldn't enter the treasure and gave up decisively.I just feel that with the master's temperament, it should be very happy to have so many buried with him. He stole the treasure map, and people from the Qing Palace would not even think about entering.This can be regarded as revenge in disguise.

Yuxi has no idea about treasures, not to mention that he doesn't have a treasure map, even if he has a treasure map, he may not be able to find it. It's better to be more realistic.

After learning about the owner of the burrow, Yuxi put it aside, and the other books are more useful.Yuxi especially likes it. Although "Miscellaneous Notes of the Four Seas" contains a lot of rare and exotic herbs, Yuxi needs the herbal medicine map most. After he studies, he can pick more herbs.It's just that this is a very academic book.Yuxi really regards it as a textbook.

"Miscellaneous Notes of the Four Seas" is different. This book is very strange. The time span in the book is very long. It seems that there is only one person who wrote the book. But the earliest strange story tells the story of a group of strange men hunting and killing strange animals during the Warring States period. The thing is, that strange beast with the head of a sheep and one horn is extremely ferocious, and its speed is like lightning, and it is the evil side.In order to capture the strange beast, countless people were killed and injured, and the writer also participated in it. After the strange beast died, everyone branched its body, and the writer got a piece of tender belly meat.Eat it, it is delicious.Sixty years later, I still miss it.

The content covers astronomy, geography, astrology, arithmetic, medicine, etc., almost covering ancient culture.Obviously, the author is very fond of food and wine. The book describes his adventures in various places, the people and things he met, and more food from various places. He also likes cooking, and sometimes he will stop in a certain place for a certain food. For a long time, until you learn it.There are also many recipes for food and wine in the book.One of them wrote that it took three years to collect the materials when learning to use Baihua Brewing, and it took nine years and nine brews to make fine wine.On the day when the wine was finished, the writer got drunk and wrote down the wine making recipe with wild grass.

It took Yuxi more than half a month to sort out all kinds of recipes in the book, including 540 two recipes for gourmet food, 190 eight recipes for medicinal food, 64 recipes for wine making, and 97 recipes for seasoning with various sauces. One sheet, 160 sheets of medical prescriptions.There are [-] and four other miscellaneous prescriptions.

The time recorded in the book is from the Warring States period to the early Ming Dynasty.Yuxi doesn't know if someone can live that long, and he can't be sure that this book is written by only one person. The material of the book is as thin as a cicada's wing and white as snow, and the ink and brush used are different. Dirty, neither rotten nor spoiled, there are more pages behind three feet than expected, [-] pages.He has never seen it before. Could it be that there are really gods?For the first time, Yuxi's outlook on life was shaken.

Although there are many subjects covered in the book, it is just that Yuxi can't grasp it for a while. Although astronomy, geography and other subjects understand what those words read, it is not a matter of time for him to understand.Among them, medical prescriptions and recipes are easier.One of the stewed meat recipes requires sixteen herbs and spices. It is not too difficult to make. Yuxi tried to make it three times according to the recipe. The taste is really amazing.There is also a recipe for beef ramen, which requires more than 30 seasonings to cook the soup to enhance the taste of the soup to the extreme. Unfortunately, Yuxi's hands are not strong enough, and the ramen is always poor.

But the second baby who ate like this has a round belly.I can't wait to eat ramen braised pork every day.Yuxi sees business opportunities here, and if he makes some stewed meat and sells it, he should be able to make some money.

"I see, Mingzhi from the fourth family is opening a grocery store in Jishang. Go and talk to him about making room for the door." The third aunt heard Yuxi's words, turned her head and said yes, and turned to ask the child what he said. dad.

The third uncle took a few puffs of his cigarette pouch, "Well, but how are you going to sell it, do you use a pot or a stove? Or sell it cold?"

"Sell it cold, make it at home and take it away. It's so cold, and it's frozen at home. Buy it back and steam it. It tastes just as good."

"That's right, this is the best I've ever eaten." Da Zhu said while sitting on the top of the kang, gnawing on a pig's trotter.

"That's right. I've grown up to such an age, and this meat is the most delicious. I'm sure I can't go wrong." The third aunt also praised.

"I'll go and ask." The third uncle knocked on the cigarette pouch, got off the ground, put on a cotton coat, and went outside.

"Father, I'll take you there by bike." Da Zhu quickly stood up.

"No, I'll walk. Not much work."

Yuxi also hurriedly got off the kang, "Third Uncle, wait a moment, I'll go back and get a pig's tail. You bring it to Fourth Uncle."

"No, how can your fourth uncle want your things, keep them and sell them."

"Let's take it and let the fourth uncle taste it, so he can make up his mind." Yuxi knew that although his father was also surnamed Lin, he had no blood relationship with the Lin family. Yes, the third uncle treats them so well because the third uncle and his father grew up naked, and their relationship is closer than that of brothers, while the fourth uncle is much worse, not to mention that the fourth uncle was married. The relationship goes further.

Lin Feng knew that his nephew had an idea, so he didn't insist anymore, and finally left with it.

It took one day to go there, and when I came back, it was already dark and people had drunk too much, so Ming Zhi, the boss of my fourth uncle's family, brought it back.

"We ate the meat you gave us at night. It tastes really good. It's much better than the old Li's in Nantou. It can be sold at a good price. You don't have to buy it. You just send it to my store every time you have a big market. , I’ll sell it for you for a catty and I’ll take a dime, how about the price is [-] cents more than the old Li’s stewed meat?” Lin Mingzhi went directly to Yuxi’s house to talk to him.

When Lin Yuxi heard it, it was a good deal, so he only needed to make it at home, and he didn't have to worry about selling things. Although ten cents a catty was a lot, the price should be within the extra twenty cents.He has eaten Li's stewed pork once, and it is definitely not as good as his.As long as you have eaten, it should not be short of two cents.

The two discussed what kind of meat they would sell, and the matter was settled, and the next one was Daji, and they were ready to sell it.

Lin Mingzhi also left happily, smoking a dime a catty, this smell can buy thirty or forty catties a day, and he also earns a few more dollars, thirty or forty a month, which is not a lot.It's just a pity that for the sake of the third uncle, this prescription can't be held in his hands, otherwise he will earn more.Although Lin Mingzhi was a little moved, he was also afraid that his father would scold him. After all, it was not easy for Lin Yuxi and the three brothers.
