My years in the Northern Song Dynasty Guozijian

After beating someone, Ye An felt refreshed, and even looked at Li Sa quite pleasingly, and looked at him with a smile for several days in a row.This made Li Sa feel uneasy, and finally begged for mercy: "My lord, Brother Yi is wrong, I shouldn't have flown to your kitchen this morning to steal some fruit to eat, I promise there will be no next time."

Ye An: "..." Coldly pushed him away, sure enough, some people can't give a good face.

As a result, within a few days, Chenghui came again, not only that, but also an old monk followed behind.

"Amitabha, poor monk Huijing, I have seen the benefactor." The old monk looked kind and kind.

...Why did you bring a group here?Reaching out his hand not to hit the smiling face, Ye An also saluted: "Hello, Master," and then asked Chenghui: "Meet you again, Master."

Chenghui glared angrily, but before he could speak, he was reprimanded by the old monk: "The benefactor is talking to you, why didn't you reply properly, you are such an old man, and you still need etiquette?"

It can be seen that Huijing is extremely dignified, and Chenghui has been trained to be as silent as a quail.As a result, Ye An felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly greeted the two of them for tea, and asked why they visited again.

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the poor monk overheard my nephew talking about his grievances with the benefactor in the monastery, knowing that he has offended the benefactor by his dissolute behavior, so he came here to apologize."

Seeing Huijing's demeanor, he knew that he had a high status in Daxiangguo Temple. Ye An was not ashamed to apologize for such a big man, "Master is serious, but the boy is innocent, and he has offended Master Chenghui a lot. I also hope that your temple will be full of blessings." Then he clasped his fists to Chenghui: "I'm sorry."

Chenghui didn't want to talk to him at first, but he couldn't stand the master's horrified gaze, so he could only return the greeting awkwardly, and the grievances between the two of them were temporarily resolved.

Afterwards, Hui Jing asked about the little story he had told to mock Chenghui, and Ye An sorted out the jokes about fighting Zen that he had heard in his previous life, and reluctantly chatted with Hui Jing about Buddhism for a while.Unexpectedly, Huijing was full of praise, calling Ye Anyou Huigen directly, and then sighed: "The world is getting worse, and the disciples in the temple are yearning for the world of mortals. Few people can calm down and practice Zen. I, the manager of the discipline academy, is also negligent of my duty."

"Master, don't blame yourself. As the leader of Buddhism and Taoism, your monastery has made efforts to promote Buddhism for all to see. If there are any problems, they are just small internal matters and will not affect anything." Ye An comforted.

Hui Jing thought about it, and agreed, "The benefactor is right. The poor monk will definitely discipline his disciples when he returns home, and keep them away from the secular world."

Chenghui was beside him with a bitter face, already feeling that those who run a brothel like himself must be the focus of care, and the future will not be easy.

The two chatted for a while, Huijing got up to leave when it was getting late.Before leaving, Ye An stopped Cheng Hui and said, "Master, let's do this. Boy, take a step back. I hereby guarantee that Hengzhi Qingfen will not participate in the Daxiangguo Temple tile market, nor will she participate in other tile markets. You see How about this?"

"Is this true?" Cheng Hui was overjoyed. In this case, Daxiangguo Temple can still maintain its advantage.

"Of course it is true." Ye An was determined, jokingly, he was determined to take the high-end route, and the tile market did not match his own brand image.After the production is stable, we can consider launching second- and third-line products, but that will be a long time later.

……

Time flies, and it's summer in a blink of an eye.This year's Bianliang was extremely hot and humid. The officials saw that all the officials were working hard, so they gave them extra holidays, and the Imperial College also followed suit.

In the small courtyard of Ye's family, Fan Chunren played his fan in a nonchalant manner, "I said Brother An, why don't you buy more ice, saving money is not so easy, you will suffer."

Di Yong beside him nodded frantically, although his face was still cold, beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.

Ye An shrugged, "Don't look at my life as a petty citizen with the eyes of your local tyrants. There are only so many ice in Bianliang, and they are all booked in advance by the officials and lords every day. Where can I book?"

Fan Chunren and Di Yong looked at each other, they really didn't know this.Needless to say about the Fan family, Fan Zhongyan, as a close minister of the emperor, was at the peak of his popularity at this time; and Di Qing on the front line won several battles in a row, and the court was very happy.Since the beginning of the summer, the two families have been given ice by the government every day, four boxes, six times, and there is no shortage in the house.

"What should I do now!" Fan Chunren didn't care about his image, and directly leaned on the stone table, trying to absorb some coolness.

Ye An thought about it, but he was negligent. The original owner was sick and weak all the time, and now even if he was cured, he still had some problems.Thinking of such a hot day, he only felt a little hot, and he didn't consider the people around him.Then he said: "Well, I'm going to prepare some cold food. I just bought Furi Luhe steamed buns from Zhang Shoumei's house yesterday, so let's have a meal with the steamed stuffed buns."

"Zhangshou Meijia" is an old shop that has been passed down for five generations. Due to the developed water and land transportation in Bianliang City, the city is rich in food materials.Taking advantage of this convenience, this restaurant will launch a star dish that matches the meaning of the day every festival. Not only is it fresh and delicious, it has become popular all over the city.The "Furi Luhe Baozi" is a special offering during the Great Summer, and Yuan Bao waited in line for a long time before buying it.

The two people on the opposite side nodded wildly, Ye An hesitated for a while, and then asked: "Do you want to cook some mutton soup?" There has always been a saying in ancient times that Futian eats mutton to nourish his body.

Di Yong's expression cracked, and he waved his hands again and again: "No mutton!" Although it is good for the body, they are all teenagers, and they can't stand the warmth of summer.After eating mutton at home for a few days, Di Yong had a crazy nosebleed in the Imperial College a few days ago, even the doctor was shocked.

Ye An suppressed a smile, that's all he said, and then turned to prepare food.The economy of the Song Dynasty was prosperous, and cold drinks and fruits were also introduced.There is a large-scale cold drink shop in Kaifeng Prefecture called "Caojia Congshi", which specializes in selling iced drinks such as pear syrup, bittern plum water, and ginger honey water.

Thinking about these things, they might both be tired of eating them, so Ye An planned to get some new ones, and just happened to have nothing to do yesterday, so he made ice cream with the leftover cream and kept the few at home ice cream.Seeing that it was a little frozen, I stirred it again, and it felt almost the same, and dug it into a ball with a spoon.Afterwards, we also prepared fine lo noodles. The soup was based on the recipe of cold noodles in later generations, with beef as the base and apples and pears added, which was sweet and sour.

Fan Chunren and Di Yong were so hungry that they couldn't lift their heads up. They hadn't had a good appetite for the past few days. Now that they were stimulated by such delicacies, they just felt unbearably hungry.Ye An didn't like it very much, probably because he was used to the modern taste, and the ancient version of ice cream and cold noodles always felt that they didn't taste right.

However, the green lotus buns did not disappoint. The store probably mashed the lotus leaves and some weeds that can relieve heat into juice, and blended them into the noodles. The buns made have the color and fragrance of lotus leaves, which match the sauce inside The meat filling is so fragrant that people want to swallow a few.

In June, the baby's face can change as soon as it is said.The sun was still in the sky just now, and it began to rain heavily in a blink of an eye.It's a pity that this kind of weather, even if it rains, is not very cool, but it is even more depressing.

Fan Chunren and Di Yong waited for a long time after finishing their meal. Although the rain became lighter, it never stopped.Seeing that it was getting late, Ye An suggested: "Why don't you two stay with me today, and go to the Imperial College together tomorrow."

Di Yong didn't care. Fan Chunren was a little hesitant because of the strict management at home, but he couldn't bear to part with his little friends, so he made an excuse for himself, "I'll push the door to see, if there is too much water, I won't leave."

Ye An nodded with a smile, and went out together with him holding an umbrella.Sure enough, it was a mess outside.Ye An smiled, and was about to talk to Fan Chunren when he suddenly saw a black shadow in front of him, as if something had flashed by.I was a little uneasy in my heart, but I still insisted on watching carefully. The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and I could vaguely distinguish a person with disheveled hair and wearing white clothes slowly moving towards me.

"Ghost!!!!" Ye An was almost scared to pee, and couldn't help screaming.Di Yong in the room turned serious, and flew forward with a lantern.

Under the dim light, Zhao Zongshu stood there drenched with embarrassment.

About food name

The names of some foods in the Song Dynasty were different from those of the present.

For example, steamed buns, in the Song Dynasty, steamed buns had fillings, similar to our current steamed buns

Steamed stuffed buns only emerged later, and they were filled with plain stuffing in the early days.The "green lotus buns" appearing in the article should be the earliest batch of buns in China.Steamed buns were another name for steamed buns in the Northern Song Dynasty.

There is also the one sold by Wu Dalang, called cooking cakes, which can be regarded as long strips of steamed buns.

Soup cakes do not refer to cakes, but noodle soup.
