The days when I skipped school and opened a restaurant in ancient times

Three months have passed in a flash.

Lu Yu wrote a letter saying that he was going back to Ningjing soon, and Lu Yunnan counted the days on his fingers every day.

"It's autumn now, Yoyo Valley is very beautiful, do you want to go out together?"

Lu Yunnan organized an autumn outing for his little friends, and everyone expressed their kindness.

Although Gu Chao sat in his seat and didn't speak, everyone tacitly agreed that Gu Chao must have gone.Because for the past few months, Gu Chao and Lu Yunnan have been inseparable.Even when they went to the toilet together, Chi Muhan joked more than once, and always complained about the two being tired.

Lu Yunnan said that he was innocent, and he didn't know why he and Gu Chao were tired of being together in the eyes of others.Obviously it was Gu Chao who wished he could watch him 24 hours a day, even going to the bathroom by himself.

The outing day soon arrived, and Lu Yunnan waited early in Yoyo Valley.

After everyone arrived, Lu Yunnan said with a smile: "Everyone, let's go to the hot spring. The clothes are prepared for you."

"Hot spring?" Chi Muhan asked in surprise, "What is this?"

They replied to him one after another and said, "It's normal that you have been at the border and didn't know it. Simply put, the water in the pool is warm, and it is more comfortable to soak in winter. But the hot spring in Yoyo Valley has not been discovered for a long time, and the wooden house has not yet been built on the pool. , is an open-air hot spring, enjoying the natural scenery.”

The hot spring found by Yoyo Valley is not small, enough to accommodate 20 people.

Lu Yunnan had someone make bathrobes and bath towels, and the bath towels were placed on the shore.The weather is slightly cold, and the bathrobes are thick.One piece per person, go to the house and put it on to go to the hot spring, so it is easy to take off.

Lu Yunnan, Song Zixiu, Xu Shuyu, Xu Shuyuan changed early and went to sit in the hot spring.

When Chi Muhan and He came here one after another, Lu Yunnan teased: "Brother Han, Brother Six. You two have such good figures, why do we eat the same food every day? I don't have such a good figure like you."

After dragging the bathrobe into the hot spring one after another, he said with a smile, "I get up early to exercise every day, but you stay in bed every day. What do you think is different?"

Chi Muhan added: "I exercise in the morning and in the evening. I also dance swords and box with my father and brother."

Lu Yunan shrank in the water and spit bubbles, looking for reasons for himself.It is impossible to wake up early.He is also very busy at night, he is not lazy to exercise, he just has no time.

"hiss..."

Chi Muhan looked at the shore and couldn't help but marvel.

Lu Yunnan was attracted and also looked towards the shore.Gu Chao's bathrobe was half exposed, and his chest muscles were ready to show.He took off his bathrobe, narrow waist and broad back, long and powerful legs.

Walking into the hot spring step by step, until the spring water submerged his perfect figure, only the upper part was exposed.

Gu Chao walked up to Lu Yunnan and lifted him out of the water.

"I'll choke."

Compared with Gu Chao's, Lu Yunnan's lean and small body is even more difficult to catch the eye.He dived into the water again, looked at the three Gu Chao who were stronger than the other, and walked away silently.Approaching Xu Shuyu and the other three, Gu Chao grabbed his waist halfway.

"what?"

Lu Yunnan's waist was smooth and tender, Gu Chao could easily wrap one arm around it.There was a different touch on the arm, which made Gu Chao quickly withdraw his arm as if being stung by a bee.

"It's nothing, watch your step."

Inexplicably, Gu Chao didn't dare to look at Lu Yunnan, the arms that wrapped around Lu Yunnan just now seemed to be faintly hot.Lu Yunnan left without knowing why, and Gu Chao plunged into the pool, trying to wake himself up.

After soaking in the hot spring, Lu Yunnan led the people to dinner.

This time, Gu Yunlan distributed some of the ingredients on the treasure ship to Lu Yunnan.

Most of the tomatoes were used for the sauce, and some were left over for a side dish stir-fry.

The simple scrambled eggs with tomatoes has a special taste, but the taste is excellent, which is something that no one has ever tasted.

"What is this red thing? I haven't seen it before." Chi Muhan couldn't stop eating, "It's sour and sweet, it's really delicious."

Lu Yunnan smiled and said: "These are tomatoes, they were only brought here by the treasure ship this time. My brother bought some ingredients from His Majesty for me, just in time for everyone to come to Yoyo Valley this time, I will make them for you to eat."

In addition to tomato scrambled eggs, there are also sesame glutinous rice balls.The glutinous rice balls are small in size, one bite at a time.Crushed sesame seeds are blended with honey, wrapped in a glutinous skin, sweet and delicious.

In addition, Lu Yunnan also prepared braised duck neck, duck wings, and duck legs.Sweet and spicy taste, I'm afraid it's too spicy and I can't stand it.Lu Yunnan didn't dare to marinate the other parts of the duck, these people would definitely be too scared to eat it.

Other people's autumn outings in the breeze and bright moon, reciting poems and making pairs, enjoying the maple scenery together.

Their autumn outing is to sit on the neck of a duck and watch Yunjuanyunshu and the infinite scenery in the valley.

Although the poetic and picturesque flavor is gone, I am very happy in my heart.

"It would be great if it was like this all the time." Chi Muhan sighed, "Brother Nan cooks delicious food for us, so that we can enjoy the scenery carefree together."

Lu Yunnan stuffed a duck's wing into Chi Muhan's mouth, teasingly said: "Then you have to pay me living expenses, I can't keep you for nothing, right?"

Chi Muhan laughed and said, "I'll give you as much as you want!"

Listening to the laughter, Xu Shuyuan silently turned his gaze to Xu Shuyu.He was eating glutinous rice balls, looking at Lu Yunnan who was fighting with a smile.

These days, Xu Shuyu seemed to be a different person.On the outside, he is still the same as before, lively and unrestrained, loves to play and make trouble.Also always clinging to Lu Yunnan, the two teamed up to do many things that made Xuelu a headache.

But once they return home, that beautiful mask will be taken off.Reveal the gloomy, silent, taciturn truth.Sometimes they would disappear all night, no matter what Xu Shuyuan asked, Xu Shuyu would not mention a word.

Xu Shuyu put on a thick mask to isolate everyone.

"are not you tired?"

This was the first time Xu Shuyuan asked Xu Shuyu this question, and neither of them could remember clearly.

Xu Shuyu chewed the glutinous rice balls, put one on a spoon and handed it to Xu Shuyuan's lips, "The glutinous rice balls made by Zhizhi are delicious, try it."

Xu Shuyuan turned his head and didn't want to answer, Xu Shuyu's expression remained unchanged, and he ate the glutinous rice balls by himself.

"It's really delicious, I hope to eat it again in the future."

Hearing this, Lu Yunnan turned around with a smile and said, "Lanlan, you like to eat, then I will make some often in the future, so don't get tired of it."

Xu Shuyu also laughed and said, "I'll eat it if you do it, I won't get tired of it."

Lu Yunnan thought that Lu Yu was coming back soon, so he said, "Brother will be back in a few days, so come to my house for dinner together. I'll make sesame glutinous rice balls for you to eat."

"Brother Lu is coming back..." Xu Shuyu asked casually, "Do you have any news about Xuan Yao? He has been gone for a long time."

Lu Yunnan replied: "It's a coincidence, Xuan Yao wrote to me the day before yesterday. He said that he met his elder brother on the way and came back with him. He also asked me to help him and plead with his elder brother. It seems that he has offended his elder brother again. "

Lu Yunnan sighed, he couldn't figure out why Xuan Yao would always make his elder brother angry.His elder brother is beautiful and the moon is shining, and the jade tree is facing the wind.Although he is a bit unsmiling, he has a good temper and nothing to say.Unless his homework is too bad, the eldest brother will be unhappy, but he is not as vicious as Xuan Yao said.

When Xuan Yao came back, he had to ask this guy what he did to offend his elder brother.

Just two days before Lu Yu came back, there was a new shop in the food street, which was dedicated to selling sugar.

"Sugar" is only maltose that people in Dazhou can associate with. Every year, in certain seasons, there will be sellers carrying boxes and selling it in the streets and alleys.

As soon as the salesman's yell sounded, the children would flock to it.Take a bite of maltose, and your heart will be sweet all day long.

However, this is the first time I have heard of a shop specializing in selling sugar.

Out of curiosity, a lot of people gathered at the door of the shop, and the guys were promoting the newly produced brown sugar and white sugar.

There were a lot of sugar cane and beets in the treasure ship, and the person in charge of the purchase thought that these two things tasted sweet, so he bought a lot.

Gu Yunlan has assigned a lot to Si Nong to study planting, but there are still many.Just use the sugar making method Lu Yunnan said, make it into sugar, and sell it in the food street.

The price of sugar is not low, and ordinary people can't afford it.

These days, the name of the food street is getting more and more famous, and many rich and noble families are attracted by this shop, so they sent a servant to inquire about it.I heard that it is selling novelty things, no matter what it is, let the boys buy it immediately.

The boy from Liu’s family bought some sugar and came back, and said to the owner in the car: “The amount of white sugar is small, so I couldn’t get it. The little one bought some brown sugar and came back. The guy said that drinking brown sugar in water is good for health, it can nourish the blood and drive away blood.” It's cold."

The master didn't blame the young man for his ineffectiveness, and was very interested in the efficacy of brown sugar that the young man said.

"Hurry back home, I want to taste what this brown sugar water tastes like."

Rare things are more expensive, and in just two days, brown sugar and white sugar honey were favored by the upper circles of the capital.Daily limited purchases are in short supply, and the products made are almost bottoming out.At this time, whichever house serves a glass of sugar water to the guest, the host and the guest are definitely close friends.

In addition to various gourmet shops, oil shops and sugar shops, soy sauce shops are also overcrowded every day.

Gu Yunlan was afraid that there would be more disasters, so he directly asked the Secretary of the Imperial City to guard the food street.Lu Yunnan himself saved a lot of money to take care of the bodyguards and went to whoring for nothing.

Gu Yunlan also gave Lu Yunnan a lot of candy that couldn't be bought outside.

Even on the day Lu Yu returned to Ningjing City, Gu Yunlan still remembered that Lu Yu had been away from home for several months, and allowed him to go home to reunite with his family first, and then go to the palace to report tomorrow.

Mrs. Lu, Lu Yunnan and Lu Yu greeted Lu Yu at the door one after another.

"Big brother!"

As soon as Lu Yu got off the carriage, Lu Yunnan rushed over and hugged him.Long time no see, Lu Yunnan felt that his elder brother was even more handsome.

"Why are you so reckless?" Lu Yu patted Lu Yunnan's head, and said with a smile, "Miss me?"

Lu Yunnan nodded vigorously, "Thinking about it!"

At this moment, another person came down from the carriage, Lu Yunnan stretched out his head to look, if it wasn't Xuan Yao, who else?

"You and my elder brother are really destined, and we can run into each other halfway when we go out to play."

Xuan Yao laughed, looked at Lu Yu's back and raised his eyebrows: "Of course, Brother Lu and I have a very deep fate."

Lu Yu's body was slightly stiff, and his face was worried.Lu Yunnan didn't look up, and didn't see Lu Yu's expression.He walked up to Xuan Yao and asked in a low voice: "Did my elder brother forgive you completely?"

Xuan Yao thought of how Lu Yu gritted his teeth every time he saw him, and touched his nose, "Of course."

Lu Yunnan breathed a sigh of relief, he no longer needs to be a messenger, and he doesn't need to be blamed for copying books.

"Don't leave yet, stay for dinner tonight. I called Gu Chao and the others and Lianhua." Lu Yunnan thought about the time, "It's almost here, you go in and wait."

At the reception banquet that night, Lu Yunnan was going to make braised pork and candied haws for dessert.

Stir-frying sugar color is a technical task, and the heat must be mastered.If the color is too small, it will not look good, and if it is too big, the color will be too burnt and it will not look good.

The pork selected this time is not the black-skinned pork of Dazhou, but the white-skinned pork with pink skin brought by the treasure ship.

The cut pork is fat and thin, covered with a layer of sugar, the color is shiny, and the meat is sweet and greasy.

"Master, this hawthorn is very sour. What are you buying this for?" Cook Zhao felt his teeth sour just by smelling the smell.He was helping to remove the pits from the hawthorn, and he couldn't figure out how to eat them after thinking about it for a long time.

"Stir-frying with white sugar is one degree lower than the color of sugar for braised pork. The hawthorn balls are wrapped in syrup, which is very sweet and sour." Lu Yunnan made the final arrangement for the braised pork, dotted with some chopped green onion to make the color look more vivid Rich. "When it's ready, you'll know if you taste it. It's delicious."

Chef Zhao glanced at the braised pork, and he was drooling a lot while talking, this time he was greedy, "Hey, young master. Don't say that this meat has added a layer of color, it's delicious."

Lu Yunnan raised his chin, looking very proud, "There is still some in the pot, you can share it at mealtime."

Everyone in the kitchen showed joy, "Thank you, young master."

There were people coming to the house one after another, all of them were friends with Lu's house.Lu Yunnan also stood guard at the door, picking up the few friends he had invited.

It was getting late, and the people had almost arrived.

Lu Yunnan looked left and right but did not see Gu Chao's figure, so Chi Muhan patted Lu Yunnan's shoulder.He lowered his body, looked forward following his gaze, and asked, "What are you looking at with your neck hooked? You almost see yourself as a husband-wife stone."

"What husband-watching stone, illiterate!" Lu Yunnan turned around and punched Chi Muhan, who howled in pain.

The time has already passed, Gu Chao should not come because he has something to do.Lu Yunnan pulled Chi Muhan inside, "Go in and eat."

At the corner of the street not far in front of Lu's mansion, Xi Xin trotted back to the sedan chair, "My lord, Young Master Lu has entered."

Gu Chao sat in the sedan chair without showing his face, and ordered, "Go home."

Asarum obediently greeted the coachman to drive back home.

In the past two days, the little prince has been a little strange, and it's not a big deal. Since he came back from the hot spring in Yoyo Valley last time, he has become more taciturn than before.

In the past, if Young Master Lu hadn't invited him, he would have suspected that he wouldn't be able to sleep in the middle of the night.

Now Young Master Lu invited him to the mansion for a banquet, but he refused to go.They all saw the gate of Lu's mansion, and stopped the coachman abruptly.

Xi Xin really couldn't figure out what the prince was thinking all day long. He clearly wanted to enter Lu's residence, but he just asked himself to squat in the corner to see when Young Master Lu would enter the residence.It's good now, and I went straight home.

Gu Chao didn't know what was going on in Xi Xin's mind along the way, so he locked himself in the house after returning to the mansion.

Last time after soaking in the hot springs in Yoyo Valley, Gu Chao had a dream that night.

A dream about Lu Yunnan.

The Lu Yunnan in the dream was also in the hot spring, without a trace, slowly approaching him.

He touched the other person, and the touch was exactly the same as what he had felt in the hot spring before.Smooth and delicate.

It's just that Lu Yunnan in the dream didn't leave, but embraced him instead.The other party's fingertips brushed lightly on his back, and the soft lips pressed against his ears, and slowly moved to his lips.

Relying on instinct, he hugged the person in his dream tightly, and he wanted to kiss the other person's lips.

The sound of the birds brought the dream to an abrupt end, Gu Chao lifted the thin quilt, and his pants were wet.

A thief usually burns his pants, after which Gu Chao didn't dare to think about it.As long as he thinks of Lu Yunnan's appearance in the hot spring, his body will be agitated.

Not to mention meeting Lu Yunnan, Gu Chao didn't dare to see Lu Yunnan at all.

But Lu Yunnan didn't know about these mental journeys of Gu Chao, he was cooking happily with his friends.

"Pour some braised pork soup on my rice!" Chi Muhan stretched out his hand, and brought the rice in front of the plate of braised pork. "Xuan Yao, you've eaten much better, give me a way out, tell me to eat two more bites."

Xuan Yao, who can give away sky-high spices for one bite, can never let go of the last bit of soup.

"How can you be courteous when it comes to eating, everyone eats according to their ability to be considered delicious."

Chi Muhan almost climbed onto the table, he shook his head in pain, "Who can beat you? Brother Nan! Pull him away quickly! I didn't eat a single bite!!!"

How could Lu Yunnan hold him back, he shook his head again and again, expressing that there was nothing he could do to help.

In the end, Lianhua couldn't stand it anymore, pulled Xuan Yao's sleeve, leaned close to him and said, "Brother Lu was looking at you just now."

Xuan Yao straightened up in an instant, and said solemnly: "If you want to eat, you should be courteous."

Holding the bowl, Chi Muhan said suspiciously, "That's not what you said just now."

"People always become."

Chi Muhan quickly poured the braised pork broth onto his rice, stirred it and pulled the rice, and said vaguely, "You've changed too quickly."

Xuan Yao smiled and said that you don't understand, then asked Lianhua in a low voice, "Is he still looking at me?"

Lianhua didn't raise her head and said, "Well, I'm watching."

"You lied to me just now?" Xuan Yao sighed, and said sadly: "Lianhua, if you don't learn well at a young age, you will be able to deceive people."

Lianhua shot back: "You are also the prince of a country. Look at the way you robbed someone for food just now. It's like our Lorja country doesn't have a bite of food. If I don't say that Brother Lu looks at you, you should ask yourself , will you stop?"

Xuan Yao took a deep look at Lianhua, and said sincerely: "I definitely can't stop, as expected of my sister, who knows me so well."

Lianhua didn't like to talk to him, so she ate alone.

The meal is almost enough, and the wine has passed three rounds.

Candied haws are served as a dessert after a meal, and the hawthorn also plays a role in digestion.

The sour hawthorn is covered with a layer of sugar, which is sweet and sour.The unique taste of hawthorn is even more refreshing.

All the people who came to eat sighed in succession, Mr. Lu was ingenious.

Even if it is something that he doesn't like or is not suitable for eating, he can make people love it.

Lu Yuzhou was overworked and exhausted.He didn't even eat candied haws, so he accused his elders and wanted to go back to the house to rest.

Everyone could understand, so they told Lu Yu to rest well and don't worry about it.

Not long after Lu Yu left, Xu Shuyu suddenly retched.

"What's wrong with Lanlan?" Lu Yunnan was attracted by Xu Shuyu's movement, and seeing Xu Shuyu's appearance of vomiting, he said, "Did you feel uncomfortable after being drunk?"

Xu Shuyu's eyes were a little blurred, and he shouted to go back home to sleep.

Xu Shuyuan knew that Xu Shuyu was pretending. Before Xu Shuyu came, he had already told Xu Shuyuan that the Queen Mother had sought him out.

He told Xu Shuyuan that it was for Xu Shuyuan to cooperate with him.By pretending to be drunk and leaving, he could drug Lu Yu while everyone was not paying attention.Xu Shuyuan stayed and tricked Song Zixiu into leaving the banquet.Song Zixiu was stunned and thrown into Lu Yu's room.

Xu Shuyuan almost struggled, but finally agreed.

But now, seeing that their plan was about to be implemented, Xu Shuyuan flinched.

He didn't want to hurt Lu Yunnan.

"I'll go home with him first."

Xu Shuyu pinched Xu Shuyuan in the dark, reminding him to stay.

Xu Shuyuan remained motionless, forced a smile and said to Lu Yunnan: "I know, I'm sorry, we have to leave first."

Lu Yunnan didn't mind them leaving early, and even asked someone to help with the car, "Anyway, I've almost eaten, so it's nothing. But you have to work harder, and you have to take care of this little drunk on the way."

Xu Shuyuan agreed and helped Xu Shuyu to leave.

The matter has come to this point, Xu Shuyu can't say anything more.He looked at Xu Shuyuan through the moonlight, his brother was about to cry.

Why doesn't he care about Lu Zhi himself?However, his mother's life can only be saved by him, he has no other way...

As long as his mother is allowed to leave this ghostly place and live well, even if Lu Zhi wants his life later, he will give it to Lu Zhi without saying a word.

"Sui Sui, you ruined all my plans." On the carriage, Xu Shuyu looked at the night scene outside the window, "Have you ever thought that if you don't succeed this time, Auntie will die?"

Xu Shuyuan thought about it, "But, he is Lu Zhi's elder brother. Lu Zhi loves his elder brother so much, Lu Zhi will hate us to death... Is there no other way? Let's take A Niang away now and leave the big brother together. Can't Zhou?"

"Do you think you can fight against the Queen Mother?" Xu Shuyu mocked, "You can't control yourself."

"However, there is still a way, and it can be remedied."

Xu Shuyuan looked at Xu Shuyu, he suddenly had a bad feeling, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything, go to sleep first. When you wake up, Auntie will be free."

After finishing speaking, Xu Shuyu raised the powder in his hand, Xu Shuyuan caught off guard and inhaled the powder floating in the air, and gradually lost consciousness.

"The drug given by the queen mother is really extraordinary." Xu Shuyu looked at Xu Shuyuan's comatose face, and his obsession had already made Xu Shuyu look different.He made the promise to Xu Shuyuan who was unconscious, and he was also convincing himself, "I will definitely make them dare not touch us any more, and I will make Xu Zhou kneel down in front of A Niang and repent."

Not long after sending off the carriage of the Xu family brothers, "Xu Shuyuan" turned back again.

He was a little annoyed and said: "Lan Lan kept talking about eating candied haws, and I couldn't stand it when he splashed. He was so drunk, I asked the driver to wait outside, and I came in to see if I could get him some candied haws. "

At this time, "Xu Shuyuan" was Xu Shuyu wearing Xu Shuyuan's clothes. Although Xu Shuyu felt sorry for Lu Yunnan, he also had reasons for doing so.

Lu Yunnan thought something was wrong, but it was true that there were no extra candied haws, so he called Zhuzhi, "Go to the kitchen and ask Chef Zhao to boil some sugar, and then make some candied haws."

"No need." Xu Shuyu stopped Zhuzhi, and he said, "I can go to the kitchen and ask Chef Zhao to make it for me, just to see how it is made."

Lu Yunnan didn't think too much about it, before the Xu family brothers would always go to the kitchen to watch him cook, so he said, "Then I'll ask someone to light a lamp to guide you."

Xu Shuyu didn't refuse anymore, he glanced at the bamboo forest not far away, and asked, "Why is the bamboo forest here? Didn't Brother Lu go to rest? Didn't he want to keep watch?"

Lu Yunnan explained: "Zhulin doesn't need to watch the night for elder brother today, elder brother feels sorry for Zhulin and Zhuzhi brothers who have been separated for too long and haven't been able to see each other. After Zhulin took care of elder brother's grooming and lying down, elder brother asked Zhulin to come back to find Zhuzhi, and allowed their brothers to sleep together for two nights. "

Xu Shuyu sighed in his heart, God was helping him, he thought he would faint the bamboo forest again.

But Song Zixiu had already left, so Xu Shuyu had to force someone into Lu Yu's room.

The empress dowager appointed someone to befriend with Lu Yunnan, because the people who had a good relationship with Lu Yunnan were more valuable than each other.

Only him and Xu Shuyuan are exceptions.Among all Lu Yunnan's friends, the two of them are the most humble.If there is no such surname, if it is not Xu Zhou's son.He was born like this, not even a dog.

Song Zixiu was the best at cheating, but he left, there was nothing he could do.And Chi Muhan has been sticking with Lianlian all the time. It is impossible for him to lure people to Lu Yu, and Lianlian will definitely follow.

Although Xuan Yao is interested in Lu Yu, Xuan Yao is also the shrewdest.If I am not careful, I will be exposed, and I will lose everything.

Xu Shuyu looked at the banquet that was about to end, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart.Since there is no suitable candidate, he will come by himself.He knew that the Empress Dowager didn't care about his background at all, and it was impossible for his father to stand up for him, so there was no way to make a big impact.

But the queen mother forgot one thing, no one is more fearless than him.

He can use his life to drag Lu Yu to hell, provided that his mother and younger brother can live well.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Xu Shuyu and Zhao Chef talked about making candied haws.After a while, he excused his abdominal pain and didn't let anyone follow him. He took the lantern out of the kitchen by himself.

Xu Shuyu is very familiar with the Lu family, and is also very familiar with the personal habits of the Lu family.

He took a shortcut and came to Lu Yu's door.Looking at the quiet courtyard, Xu Shuyu smiled ironically. Compared with Xu's mansion, he knew Lu's mansion better.

The medicine mist was blown into Lu Yu's room along the small bamboo tube.

This medicine is extremely strong, and it is the best product that is hard to find in the world provided by Empress Dowager Shen.

Xu Shuyu estimated the time, Lu Yu should have already had a drug attack.Just as he was about to open the door and go in, someone came not far away.

Seeing that there seemed to be someone in front of her, Lianhua raised the lantern and asked, "Who?"

Xu Shuyu heard the voice, turned and left quickly.
