Tang's dining table

Ever since he came into contact with Tang people, Yun Chu felt that he had never met a fool.

When he was in the Aries department, to be honest, he didn't meet a single smart person.

Yun Chu felt very tired when he was dealing with fools. Now he was better and finally joined the ranks of smart people. Then, he found that he was even more tired from life.

Qiuci City is just a banquet where Yunchu has eaten all the food.

After the banquet, there is another process that must be carried out, which is to pack up the leftovers and take them away.

Living frugally is a virtue of the Tang people, and everyone from the emperor to the people is following this virtue.

It’s not that you can’t eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. After tasting the delicacies, packing up the remaining food and taking it away is in line with the values ​​of the Tang people.

Now, those more Hu merchants are the leftovers and rice that Yun Chu is planning to pack away, and these meals will be kept in Chang'an for later consumption.

Yunchu originally planned to share these leftovers with Fang Zheng. Later, he learned from Fang Zheng that the Ninth Zhechong Mansion in Shangzhou under the command of Ding Dayou would return to Shangzhou for reorganization after the Battle of Laoshan. He immediately I found that Ding Dayou was the best collaborator.

Ding Da did not live up to Yunchu's expectations at all. The next day, he heard He Yizheng say that he led his subordinates to Kucha City with injuries to mourn the brothers who died in Kucha City.

For this reason, He Yizheng, a man who has obviously read many books, was very emotional, saying that Ding Dayou was a rare martial artist among the many Zhechongfu regiments in the Western Regions who had a sense of friendship with those in the army who only knew how to fight to gain military exploits. 's bitches are worlds apart.

He Yizheng was taught step by step how to sew wounds, and the relationship between the two naturally became stronger day by day.

It's strange to say that He Bingshu, He Yizheng and Liu Chong have the same status as Liu Yizheng. They are both Yizheng. However, when Doctor Liu Chong met He Yizheng, he was quite afraid of a mouse seeing a cat.

When Dr. He was summoning Dr. Liu, he did not consider that the two men had equal official positions, and his attitude towards Liu Chong was even worse than towards Yunchu, the chief doctor.

"Mr. Yun doesn't know something. Doctors also talk about their family background. Our master is Zhang Honglu, the famous doctor who cured Emperor Taizong's dysentery. He is the third-rank Honglu Qing.

Except for Sun Shenxian, which medical family's family background can be comparable to that of He Yizheng. If Marquis Wu of Liang hadn't invited him this time, my doctor wouldn't have come all the way to the Western Regions to suffer.

He, Zhang Chong, was just a country doctor. He relied on his hard work in the army to advance to the medical profession. Dr. Yun must not be friends with him. It would not be a disgrace to his status. "

Doctor Yun felt that his identity might not be as good as Liu Yizheng's, so it was suspicious that He Yizheng had such a good attitude towards him.

In fact it is not difficult to guess.

He Yizheng took a fancy to Yun Chu's ability to suture wounds.

There is actually nothing wrong with this. Yunchu, who had left the university long ago and has been working in the system for seven years, does not have much resistance to this kind of thing.

It's not impossible for others to take your own things, but they have to pay an equal price.

Being an imperial physician was not Yun Chu's goal, so this ability was an advantage he could exchange for.

He Yizheng probably knew from Ding Dayou that Yun Chu had the miraculous ability to suture wounds, so he washed Ding Dayou cleanly and left it to Yun Chu to use his skills.

Before witnessing Yun Chu's ability, He Yizheng didn't say a word to Yun Chu. He didn't take the initiative to get close to Yun Chu until the wound was sutured and the patient looked fine.

Later, when I heard Yun Chu say that catgut was the best suture, I was willing to put down my body and make friends with Yun Chu.

Yun Chu knew all this, and Fang Zheng warned him that among the people in the army not to be offended was He Yizheng.

Today I learned about the family's origins from Yaotong. In Yun Chu's view, after Fang Zheng and Ding Dayou, his third major dish in the Tang Dynasty circle was officially served on the table.

If Fangzheng is a porridge side dish that can nourish the spleen and stomach and store energy, then Ding Dayou is a meat dish that can strengthen bones, muscles, and strength.

Yun Chu is still not sure what kind of dish He Yizheng is currently serving, but from what he has learned so far, it seems that if it is not a dish of sea cucumbers roasted with green onion, it is at least a dish of braised tendons.

When you go to the table to eat, the best state is to have a dish in your stomach, a dish in your mouth, a dish in your chopsticks, and your eyes staring at another dish. This is the most effective way to enjoy a big meal. Quick way.

Fang Zheng has obviously swallowed this dish, and Ding Dayou has already bitten his mouth. How to hold He Yizheng's dish on his chopsticks requires careful study.

If it's too early, it will burn your mouth. If it's too late, the food will be cold. Seizing the right timing is very important to Yunchu.

Doctor He invited Yun Chu to drink tea.

Yunchu didn't like the tea that He Yizheng brought because what he drank was not tea at all, but oil soup with tea added.

The shepherds on the grassland drank butter tea, and Yun Chu accepted it because the living environment forced them to do so. Butter tea can remove greasiness very well and has a good effect on increasing physical fitness.

It is difficult for people to understand that people in the Tang Dynasty drank oil soup tea, especially as Dr. He was a medical doctor. He could not be unaware of the damage caused to the body by drinking oil soup all day long. In addition, his tea soup also contained green onions. Garlic, ginger, dates, orange peel, dogwood, mint, cloves, star anise and salt are far more difficult to swallow than butter tea.

However, when he saw Dr. He's slightly upturned eyes, which were tied with a gauze net on his head, and the corners of his eyes that were stretched into the temples with an eyebrow pencil, Yun Chu understood that he must make this oil soup tea. Drink it, because this is what you call aristocratic style.

It is very important to follow the local customs when visiting a country. Even this custom goes beyond etiquette in many cases.

When I followed the leader to the pastoral areas to explore the impoverished areas, the local unscrupulous local officials actually took the leader to sit in the home of a real poor herdsman.

When the herdsmen presented the white hada, and the herdsmen's wives wiped the silver bowl with holy cow dung, and then filled the silver bowl with butter tea and presented it to the big boss, the big boss looked shameless and dipped his fingers in the milk tea to worship the heaven and the earth. After that, he drank it all in one sip.

Since the bowl was not closed, the herdsman's enthusiastic wife refilled it for fear that the distinguished guest would be dissatisfied.

So, the big leader drank three bowls of butter tea at the herdsman's house that day, and he seemed happy and unwilling to miss his childhood.

When he returned to the county, Yunchu heard the shouting curses of the secretary of the top leader, which could be heard clearly in the entire corridor.

Then, the big leader didn't take another bite for the whole day, and even if he did, he would vomit whatever he ate.

Having such an experience, Yun Chu drank the tea soup in one gulp without even frowning when he faced the sheep tail oil that had not completely melted in the tea bowl.

After finishing the drink, he smacked his lips and said, "In the past, when I lived in the mountains with my master, I could only drink plain tea, which was far less rich in taste than the tea soup that Yi Zheng makes today.

I secretly think that when making tea soup, pine cones are the best. When the pine cones burn, a faint rosin will blend into the tea soup. The mountain spring water is clear and cold, so don't wait for the water to boil before boiling the sheep tail oil. When the mutton oil is about to melt, put in the dried tea powder. At this time, the mutton oil will wrap the tea leaves, and the two flavors are completely compatible. Then add dates, orange peel, dogwood, mint, and wait until the water boils. Add onion and ginger to remove the miscellaneous flavors, and finally use salt, the ancestor of all flavors, to unify all the flavors. In this way, the king and his ministers are ready, and a sip is like drinking cheese spring. "

Doctor He was stroking his palms and smiling and said: "Today I met my close friend. My master is a sage from the mountains and fields. He can't change his mind after a spoonful of drink and a basket of food. How can we and other common people in the city be compared?"

Come, come, come, the water is boiling three times now, it is the wonderful tea scene of "Sudden rain comes, the sound of pine trees enters the cauldron, and the white clouds fill the bowl with flowers." Let's drink together! "

Yun Chu held the bottom of the tea bowl with one hand and grasped the body of the tea bowl with the other. He concentrated and calmed down. After his heartbeat calmed down, he first smelled the disgusting smell of the oil soup, and then observed the appearance of the tea soup with "the pine flowers floating in the air and the orchid gas entering the pot lightly". , and finally imagined the artistic conception of "jade dust frying to make haze", then turned off his sense of smell and taste, and drank the bowl of tea soup completely covered with mutton oil in one gulp.

For a long time, neither of them spoke, completely immersed in the timeless temperament of drinking tea, and could not escape from their trap for a long time.

You can't drink tea until it's full, but if you drink tea three times, you'll be full, and you'll be laughed at as a cow-drinker. Therefore, Yun Chu could only watch with regret as an eight-foot-tall boy took away the stove and tea sets.

Doctor He was stroking his beard and laughing: "Two times of tea, can't the doctor be satisfied?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Yi Zheng is an elder, and his mind has long been cultivated to be careful and peaceful. Yun Chu is just a young man, who doesn't know what moderation is."

Doctor He smiled and waved his hands and said: "Brother, you are so humble. Your ability to suture wounds with needle and thread is enough to make you famous all over the world and you have a bright future."

The smile on Yun Chu's face gradually faded, and he said with a little sadness and dissatisfaction in his voice: "If a master with such a wonderful ability doesn't die of old age, how can he get a name and a future in the world?"

Doctor He was tapping the case with his index finger and said, "Brother, at the age of thirteen, he has already graduated from the eighth rank as a doctor. Could it be that he doesn't want to rely on this skill to find a way for him to be promoted?"

When Yun Chu heard this, he seemed to be extremely angry. He tore open his clothes with force, exposed his back and turned it to He Yizheng: "Are these scars from a certain family worthy of this eighth-grade doctor?"

Doctor He was looking at the dense scars on Yun Chu's back that had not yet completely healed and said, "Searching for a future among thousands of armies is not something we and other doctors should do."

Yun Chu put on his clothes again, looked at He Yi Zheng and said, "Yi Zheng doesn't know something, but a certain family has used all their wealth in exchange for this thing!"

As Yun Chu spoke, he slapped the admission notice for the four majors on the table.

Who is He Yizheng? A mere admission notice for a four-course major is not shocking to him. Although he feels that someone like Yun Chu actually got an admission notice for a four-course major, which is a bit unworthy.

Still whispering: "Is this young brother planning to abandon medicine and become an official?"

Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said: "The soil on my master's tomb has not dried for a long time. It shows that becoming a good doctor is not what my master wants."

Doctor He was secretly happy, but said: "What a pity, what a pity."

Yun Chu stared at He Yizheng with his slightly red eyes and said, "If Yizheng is buying a residence for a certain family in Chang'anfang City, from now on, whenever anyone asks about the art of suturing wounds, Yun Chu Definitely, this superb technique was the work of He Bingshu and He Bo'an. I was just practicing medicine in the army and occasionally saw Dr. He practicing this miraculous technique. I failed to become a disciple, so I only gained some superficial knowledge."
