Things seem to be getting better day by day.
When he was busy, there were people chatting with him.
People around Chuanfeng Alley gradually got to know this storyteller, and they would often chat with him when they met.
As soon as we come and go, we become familiar with each other.
There is a medical clinic outside Chuanfeng Lane. The owner is a doctor named Wang. He is quite old but has a strong body. He often sits at the door and eats noodles in the morning.
Doctor Wang's meal was almost at the same time as Chen Changsheng went out.
So you can meet them from time to time.
"Mr. Chen is going to give lectures again?"
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes, Doctor Wang is eating noodles again today?"
"Want a bowl?" Doctor Wang asked.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "Next time, if you are too late, you won't be able to catch up."
Doctor Wang smiled and said, "That's okay."
Chen Changsheng thought this was just a polite talk, and then went to the teahouse to tell stories.
But on the second day.
Doctor Wang actually stopped him and brought him a bowl of clear soup noodles.
"As promised, I'll treat you to some noodles."
Chen Changsheng was a little surprised by this.
He didn't expect Doctor Wang to be so serious.
Now that everyone had prepared the noodles and brought them to them, Chen Changsheng had no reason to refuse.
So he said to Mr. Cao who was coming: "Excuse me, Mr. Chen, please go first. Please take your time, Mr. Chen. You won't be delayed for too long."
Of course, Mr. Cao understood Mr.'s difficulty, so he said, "Sir, please eat slowly. It doesn't matter. The younger one will go back and talk to the shopkeeper first."
After Mr. Cao left.
Like Dr. Wang, Chen Changsheng squatted at the door of the medical center and ate noodles.
Chen Changsheng's eyes lit up after he tasted it, and he said, "Doctor Wang's side tastes very different."
"I added some medicinal materials, how does it taste?" Doctor Wang smiled.
Chen Changsheng smiled and then said: "This soup should be meat soup. Not only that, it is made from cinnamon, star anise, and some Angelica dahurica."
I have to say that this Doctor Wang is indeed capable.
In today's world, spices have not yet appeared in this dish.
Doctor Wang was stunned when he heard Chen Changsheng's words.
He suddenly felt that he had met a like-minded person!
Although Wang Chengyi is a doctor, he has been thinking about eating for half his life. He can eat a bowl of clear soup noodles in many ways. He thinks that no one else can eat it better than him.
But the storyteller in front of him just took one bite and guessed everything he put in it.
Doctor Wang came back to his senses and said, "Mr. Chen also knows this method?"
Chen Changsheng asked: "Does Doctor Wang mean to use these medicinal materials to increase the fragrance?"
"Yes!" Dr. Wang didn't even eat the noodles, and chased after Chen Changsheng: "Back then, I stewed chicken soup to nourish my wife's body, and accidentally added star anise. Unexpectedly, the chicken soup was so fragrant. I also started from that time. Since then, I have started researching these special medicinal materials.”
Chen Changsheng was fussing about the noodles. He also didn't expect to be able to eat such noodle soup here.
Doctor Wang saw that Chen Changsheng was eating enthusiastically, so he said: "Eat more slowly, there is still more in the house, not enough for another bowl."
Chen Changsheng didn't care about his image at all. He ate the noodles in a few mouthfuls and drank the noodle soup together.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I haven't had noodles like this for a long time, Doctor Wang is a great talent!"
Chen Changsheng was generous in his praise.
Doctor Wang was a little pleased and said, "Do you really think this noodle is delicious?"
"Of course!" Chen Changsheng nodded.
Doctor Wang suddenly laughed.
The doctor, who was over sixty years old, smiled very happily, revealing a row of uneven teeth.
Chen Changsheng didn't quite understand and was confused.
Then Dr. Wang explained: "You don't know, in the past years, some people have tasted my noodles, but they all said that they tasted like medicine. After eating it once, they stopped eating it. You are the first one to think it tastes good."
Chen Changsheng licked his lips and said, "Actually, I put too much 'medicine' in it."
And not just as many!
It's like putting two star anise in a bowl of noodle soup. In fact, the aroma is a bit pungent.
The reason why Chen Changsheng thought it was delicious was probably because he hadn't eaten it for a long time.
Doctor Wang blinked and said, "I think it's just right."
Chen Changsheng understood immediately after hearing this.
Dr. Wang is indeed capable of discovering this spice, but his taste is so strong that the spices are added to a 'lethal dose', which is probably why no one will eat it a second time.
Chen Changsheng said: "Doctor Wang may have long been accustomed to the smell of these medicinal materials, as if he has lived in the orchid room for a long time without smelling their fragrance, so the medicinal materials he administered are much heavier than normal!"
After hearing this, Doctor Wang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "That makes sense!!"
"but……"
Doctor Wang reacted and said, "Why does Mr. Chen think it tastes good?"
Chen Changsheng said: "Chen traveled outside the region in his early years and once tasted the food cooked with these spices. Maybe he hasn't had such a taste for a long time. For a moment, he was in a daze and all he remembered was the fragrance."
Doctor Wang was deeply inspired, and then said: "I have to try, I have to try, then what, you, you, you, wait for me."
"Doctor Wang, Chen needs to go to the teahouse." Chen Changsheng said helplessly.
Doctor Wang came back to his senses and immediately said: "Then, this..."
He was so panicked that he didn't know what to say.
Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, Chen will finish his book at three quarters in the afternoon. I'll come back to Dr. Wang then."
Doctor Wang came back to his senses, nodded and said: "Okay, okay! I'll wait for Mr. Chen!"
After Chen Changsheng left the medical clinic, he hurried to the teahouse.
The Tangji Tea House was already packed with people.
There are the most tea drinkers in the morning!
Nowadays, everyone comes here to listen to books, and some are even standing, holding a bowl of herbal tea while chatting and waiting.
"Hey, Mr. Jiucha is here!"
"Here we go, where are we?"
Everyone looked around and the leader hurriedly stepped forward.
"Mr. Chen came a little late today."
This man is often called Jin San. He is the third son of the Jin family in Qingshan City. His family is wealthy. He had previously bought a job with the government, but unexpectedly, the rebels entered the city and he became an idler. The greatest pleasure is to come to the teahouse to listen to books, drink tea and chat.
When Chen Changsheng came here on the first day, the one tael of silver in the reward was given by Jin San.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "Hey, there was something delayed on the way. Why don't we come?"
"But why did Young Master Jin come here with tea today? Could it be that he didn't grab a seat?"
Jin San waved his hand and said with a smile: "These bastards got up earlier than me, so how could I not get a seat? It's Mr. Chen's fault. If Mr. Chen's book wasn't so good, how could I not get a seat?" "
Everyone laughed loudly after hearing this.
"Young Master Jin has been promoted." Chen Changsheng said with cupped hands.
Then someone else said: "If you don't mind Sanye Jin, come and sit here with me! At worst, you can squeeze both buttocks into one stool!"
"That's a good relationship. I have a big penis, so you have to give in!"
"Hahaha……"
There was laughter in the teahouse.
Jin San coughed, and then said: "It's done, everyone comes out of the way! If you delay any longer, you won't be able to listen!"
"Give way!"
With just one word, the bustling people behind him made way.
In this Tangji Tea House, no one can speak as easily as Jin San.
It's not because he is the third son of the Jin family, or because he spends a lot of money, it's just because he has been in the teahouse for many years and has many people, so anyone will give him face.
This is a talent!
With that striking shot, the rustling sounds in the hall suddenly faded away.
Chen Changsheng said: "What I am going to talk about today also comes from "Liao Zhai". The chapter I will talk about today is a little different from the previous ones. I hope you will pay attention and don't be afraid."
"This article is called "Painted Skin"!"
