Xiao Houye's seven-year imperial examination and five-year road to Kaifeng[75]

Hearing Pang Yu and the others say that they don't need tribute, Daguan Yang feels more at ease. After all, the regent doesn't have to lie to such a small official like him, it's not necessary.

Within two days, Pang Yu and Zhao Jue went out quietly. They were going to visit the city and see what they could buy.

Jasmine scented tablets are a must. This is a local specialty. It is said that people who often drink jasmine tea can not only beautify the skin, but also resist aging.

As far as pharmacology is concerned, jasmine seems to have inhibitory effects on a variety of bacteria. Anyway, it is based on the books in the system. He memorized it and showed it to Jin Yuyi, who confirmed that jasmine has the functions of clearing away heat, detoxification, dampness and calming the nerves. Afterwards, their family drank a lot of jasmine tea, and gave it to others when they had nothing to do.

The main reason is that drinking green tea makes it easier to fall asleep when you are old, but scented tea is not like this.

Of course, this needs to be of good quality. Now when you go to the place of production, you can naturally choose the best quality to buy.

The fun of shopping is not only enjoyed by young ladies. Pang Yu is very motivated when he thinks of buying gifts for his future nephew.

Because people from overseas came to this dynasty to do business, the trade here is very prosperous, and there are foreign businessmen coming and going every day. Compared with the future, foreigners in this era do not have so many preferential treatment.

Even if foreigners are a rare breed, they won't be popular in the local area just because of their strange appearance.

The only thing is the goods they bring, some are quite popular, but they are more of a purchase, yes, they are interested in all kinds of goods in this dynasty, especially silk, cotton cloth, and even porcelain tea.

Porcelain is definitely something I like very much, such delicate things, when they arrive at them, they are sold as treasures, and they are priceless!

You must know that porcelain is fragile, and it can travel thousands of miles to foreign countries. Basically, there is no one out of ten. If it can be preserved intact, it is a high-quality product, and it is priceless. By the way, there are also pearl jewelry.

After Pang Yu artificially implanted it into the clam shell, he popularized this method, not only in fresh water, but also in sea water, and there are also cultured pearl clam shells.

It's just that there are not so many in terms of quantity. After all, the technology is still somewhat lacking.

There are special factories for weaving cages for raising clam shells every day, so that divers no longer need to risk their lives to go into the sea.

However, there are still some divers who choose to go into the sea, because they are given more money and it is worth the risk.

Pang Yu ate the freshest seafood locally, which is delicious, much better than dried ones, and only needs to use the most simple local ingredients and simple seasonings.

The imperial chef who came with him was also very happy, with the freshest ingredients, he could flex his muscles. On the first day, he went out to taste the local delicacies.

By the way, I also visited a local famous chef. The chef's union formed by Pang Yu was still useful, at least in terms of technical exchanges, he was not stingy.

Pang Yu was happy to eat, and the chef was also happy to cook. Such fresh ingredients can only be found here, and there are top-notch seasonings, which is like a tiger with wings added!

"Try this." Zhao Jue enjoys the work of feeding, especially when the table is full of Pang Yu's favorites. He feeds them one by one. There are several different ways of eating oysters alone. The local eating methods are relatively Simple, small oysters are also called oysters. Anyway, the small ones are fried and eaten, and the big ones are eaten with sugar, salt and wine.

How could it be possible for Pang Yu to only eat these local methods? Garlic fans should know that steaming is actually good. Oyster soup and oyster porridge are all extremely delicious.

There are also royal chefs grilling oysters and other skewered seafood on the spot, which makes people smell almost dead.

There are even raw oysters that Pang Yu is afraid to try. After chilling, add sour fruit juice to remove the smell, which is directly practical.

Pang Yu didn't dare to eat it, he dared to let Zhao Jue eat it, so Zhao Jue was speechless, but under Pang Yu's expectant eyes, he still tasted one, unexpectedly found that it was not bad, it's a pity that Pang Yu would not eat it even if he was beaten to death of.

This little bastard!

Fortunately, the taste was not bad, and the imperial chef didn't prepare too much, so Zhao Jue ate a few and shared it with others.

For raw food, people in this dynasty actually like it very much, and many people adapt well.

At least the guards ate very happily. The guards who follow the prince are happy. Basically, there are no accidents, and they all eat and drink.

In addition to eating some dog food every day, the rest is very pleasant. Of course, as an ancient person, I don't know what dog food is.

Naturally, there are some dogs in the Beijing family who guard the house, especially in the Royal Military Academy, where the dogs also participate in training. Sometimes, the cooperation of animals is more powerful than humans.

Moreover, dogs can clearly smell the smell of some medicines. Otherwise, the customs office would not have arranged many dogs. They are all paid, and they are much richer than ordinary people.

There is no way, people's sense of smell is not so sensitive, no one knows what those outsiders will bring into their land, it would be much better with the help of Gouzi.

If possible, Pang Yu would really like to go on a long voyage. After all, the lack of crayfish in summer always feels incomplete.

His memories of summer in his previous life, apart from the beautiful air conditioner, must be summer nights, going to that kind of food stall, ordering two catties of crayfish and cold beer, perfect!

Nowadays, cold beer is easy to get, but this crayfish still doesn't have a chance to come here in its hometown.

In fact, as long as the history is shorter, and the country does not even exist, now is a good opportunity to occupy the territory.

Over the years, the construction of sailing ships has never stopped, and there are even fishing boats that go out to sea, which have been built all the time, so that they can go to farther seas and catch more fish, but the people with such strength almost none.

All the fish caught by the big boat belong to the imperial court, and some of these fish will be sold to ordinary people, and most of them will be sent to special seafood factories.

Everything that can be made into food will not be let go, and it will even be made into cans and shipped across the country.

Basically, there are cans for sale in coastal areas, and the empty cans will be recycled, so there is no waste at all.

After Pang Yu arrived in the local area, he not only ate fresh seafood, but also canned sea fish, which tasted good and tasted like braised braised fish.

He decided to buy a batch and sent them to the sea to be transported to the capital. The taste of sea fish is not something everyone can taste.

Many people in Bianjing may never taste sea fish in their entire lives. It is really inconvenient to transport, and it is impossible to send fresh sea fish to the capital. It will stink halfway.

Fortunately, the cans can be stored for a longer period of time, but not too long. This season is just right. I only hope that the railway can be repaired soon, otherwise I will have to go back and forth in the nearby cities, and the sales will not increase. of.

At the same time, Pang Yu also asked people to try to grow seaweed. In order to be able to eat seaweed egg drop soup, he also worked very hard. Who made him rich.

Because there are many things he wants to eat, Pang Yu basically obtains food by spending money. When it comes to the efforts of a foodie, just look at Pang Yu.

A lot of the money he earned was spent on various breeding.

At least it is not that difficult to eat some seaweed in Bianjing now, but the price is a bit expensive, not the kind of common food, after all, the shipping fee still has to be earned back.

Especially in the Imperial Palace, seaweed can be made into various delicacies as long as it is stored properly.

After two days of observation, Officer Yang found that the Prince Regent and the Concubine were really just out for fun, looking for delicacies that they had never tasted before, so they finally felt relieved.

Pang Yu and Zhao Jue were about to go out when the people below came to report that a fishing village had caught a very rare big fish.

The ancients were superstitious, and believed in some auspiciousness and so on.

The main reason is that there was no oxygen machine in ancient times. If such a large sea fish had to be transported over, it would probably die immediately. For Pang Yu, dead fish was not tasty at all.

A group of people came to a small fishing village outside the city, but as soon as the carriage entered the village, they felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so Pang Yu sent someone to inquire about the news.

Sure enough, the guard came back and said, "For some reason, the women from the house that hit Big Fish hanged themselves."

? ? ? ?

Pang Yu was confused, "What's going on?"

What about Xiangrui?

How did he hang himself?

"It is said that the man from this family went to the city to get medicine, leaving his wife and daughter to take care of the old lady who was paralyzed in bed. When he came back, all three women hanged themselves." The guards were also puzzled, and the paralyzed man , why choose to hang yourself?This is very puzzling.

"Let's go and have a look." Pang Yu nodded. This time, he brought the imperial cook and the imperial doctor with him. Nosy or something, it's good for his first year, second only to eating delicious food.

A group of people came to this family soon, and the three people who were hanging on the beams of the house hadn't had time to be put down yet.

I only heard the man's mournful cries, and the family broke up just like that.

"Don't worry, the officials will definitely give you an explanation."

This voice is inexplicably familiar...

Pang Yu took a look, could he not be familiar? That was also their family's guard, who was just arranged to escort Bao Heizi and the others. Now seeing this guard, isn't it... Bao Heizi is nearby?

"Bao Zheng?" Pang Yu said immediately.

As soon as Bao Heizi turned his head, he saw Pang Yu, and naturally he did not miss Zhao Jue who was behind him. This must be fate!

"Brother Pang Xian." Bao Zheng hurriedly greeted them, but it was difficult to reveal their identities.

The guards who escorted Bao Zheng saw their master and wanted to meet him quickly, but they were stopped by Zhao Jue's eyes. They were visiting incognito, how could they be called out of identity.

Although Bao Zheng is not a local magistrate, he still has an official position, so it is not too much to investigate this case.

They asked several people to carefully put the three down and put them side by side. Mr. Gongsun and the imperial doctor brought by Pang Yu checked together and concluded that this was murder, not suicide.

"Why didn't he hang himself?" asked the onlookers in puzzlement.

"The situation of hanging yourself is completely different from this." The imperial doctor seriously explained the difference between hanging himself and being killed, making it clear that he was hung up after being strangled to death, and wanted to pretend to be hanging himself?no way!
