"First, clean the chicken, cut it into pieces, add half a spoonful of salt, one spoonful of light soy sauce, half a teaspoon of five-spice powder, half a spoonful of frosting sugar, two spoons of cooking wine, add oil and marinate for two-quarters of an hour."
"Secondly, boil water, add chicken, add a spoonful of acacia wine when the water boils, boil again, remove and drain."
"Then put it into 80% hot oil, half-fry and half-fry until golden brown, and set aside for later use."
"Finally, use dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, onions, ginger, garlic, and star anise to stir-fry until fragrant, add chicken pieces, mix well, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and it's ready to go."
Zhao Ping said that he was even hungrier.
Seeing that the woman was deep in thought, Zhao Ping didn't pay much attention.
Go downstairs and leave with Xu Tianhua and the others.
It took a long time before Mu Qiaoqiao came back to her senses.
He opened his mouth and asked, "What is light soy sauce?"
"What is five-spice powder? What is cooking wine?"
"And chili..."
"Hey, where is the person?"
"Go back to Miss, the guests here have left for a while."
The waiter who came to clear the table replied.
"left?"
Mu Qiaoqiao frowned, "Humph! You said a bunch of nonsense, do you really think you can scare me?"
"When I return to the state capital, I will definitely let my father find those things."
"If I can't cook it deliciously the way you said, I'm not done with you."
Mu Qiaoqiao complained angrily.
It's a pity that Zhao Ping can no longer hear him.
After Yipinxiang came out, he was obsessed with Song Ming.
"Mr. Zhao, now that I have eaten and drank, can you tell me why frosting sugar can be used as medicine? What diseases does it treat?"
"Frost sugar won't work."
Zhao Ping considered that he was the envoy of the imperial hospital, so he took the initiative to ask for advice.
He replied: "But brown sugar is fine."
"Brown sugar is warm in nature and has the effects of replenishing qi and blood, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening the spleen and warming the stomach."
"It can treat cold and pain in the epigastrium and abdomen due to spleen and stomach deficiency, irregular menstruation and other diseases."
"However, our Dawei Dynasty's brown sugar contains too many impurities. Not only does it have no medicinal value, but if consumed accidentally, it may worsen the condition."
Song Ming lowered his head and pondered, digesting what Zhao Ping said.
Xu Tianhua on the side said curiously: "Mr. Zhao, isn't it? You just healed Mr. Li with frosting sugar. Why are you saying that frosting sugar can't cure diseases now? Isn't this contradictory?"
Peng Yue and others also looked at Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping used frosting sugar to heal Li Mubai. This is obvious to everyone and cannot be faked.
Song Ming also finished his meditation and stared at Zhao Ping with burning eyes, waiting for his explanation.
"Mu Bai is not sick."
Zhao Ping said.
"He is already dead, how can he not be sick?"
Xu Tianhua was even more skeptical.
"this……"
Zhao Ping was too lazy to explain.
After all, the term hypoglycemia never appeared in the Dawei Dynasty.
Explaining to them is like playing the piano to a cow.
And if you really explain it, it will involve a bunch of professional terms. Do you need to explain it one by one?
I could only say angrily: "Guan Xu, you are just a wine tasting officer. Even if I say it, you don't understand."
"Hehehe, I'm just curious."
Xu Tianhua smiled awkwardly.
However, Song Ming knelt down in front of him and begged: "Divine Doctor Zhao, please clear up my doubts."
Forehead.
Zhao Ping became speechless.
However, he admired Song Ming's knowledge-seeking nature very much.
No wonder he was able to pass the examination as an imperial physician with a commoner body.
If you don’t understand, just ask; if you don’t know, just learn.
Even if the reaction is half a beat slow, the stupid bird can fly first, and diligence can make up for the slowness.
Zhao Ping also developed a love for talents.
After pondering for a while, he said leisurely: "Mr. Song Tai Hospital, if you really want to learn, go to Xiping Village when you have time, and I will teach you there."
"Medicine is a very rigorous science and must be treated with caution."
"I can't teach you anything in a short period of time. If you practice medicine and treat diseases with only a little knowledge, not only will you not be able to cure diseases, but you will also easily cure people."
"Thank you, Divine Doctor Zhao."
Song Ming bowed down, got up from the ground, turned around and left without saying hello.
"this……"
Zhao Ping wondered: "Is he angry?"
"I didn't say I wouldn't teach him? Why did he lose his temper for no reason?"
"Mr. Zhao, Song Ming is not angry."
Peng Yue knew Song Ming better and said with a wry smile: "That's the kind of person he is."
"I have always treated medicine very seriously and responsibly."
"If you don't understand, just ask. If you don't know, just learn."
"Since my husband promised to go to Xiping Village to teach him medicine when he is free, he should be going to deal with his own affairs now."
"Speaking of which, this matter is related to sir."
"Is it related to me?"
Zhao Ping, an even taller monk, was scratching his head.
"right."
Peng Yue said: "I have mentioned to you before that the Song and Ming Dynasties were sent by the imperial court to deal with the plague."
"Now that you have lifted the plague, all he has left is to deliver the message."
"What purpose?"
Zhao Ping asked curiously.
Peng Yue looked around, and the government officials immediately took a few steps back.
Even Xu Tianhua, Li Heran, and Li Mubai stayed far away.
Only then did Zhao Ping realize that he had been reckless.
The imperial edict was of great importance, and how could he, a small seventh-grade wine taster, be able to spy on it.
Just as he was about to apologize, he heard Peng Yue say in a low voice: "Yun'an County suffered from the plague. Your Majesty was generous and exempted Yun'an County from taxes this year."
"Is this true?"
Zhao Ping was shocked.
"Absolutely true."
"Okay, great! That's great!"
Zhao Ping was slightly excited.
"Brother Peng, I'm afraid I won't be able to have a long talk with you tonight."
After regaining his composure, Zhao Ping hugged Peng Yue and said apologetically: "Yun'an County is exempt from taxes. I have to go back to Xiping Village to make arrangements. Tomorrow I can start purchasing the germinated grain from the people."
Peng Yue did not force him to stay, and could only say that we would talk about it another day.
Xu Tianhua wanted to get wine, so he naturally followed Zhao Ping to Xiping Village.
Li Mubai is also guilty of being stubborn.
After losing the bet, he became Zhao Ping's entourage. He resigned from his post as a teacher in the academy with Peng Yue on the spot and left with Zhao Ping.
Li Heran looked at their retreating figures and sighed slightly, "I don't know whether Mu Bai's choice is right or wrong?"
"That's for sure."
Peng Yue encouraged him, "Mr. Zhao not only has amazing achievements in medicine, but he can also write brilliantly."
"He also knows how to be a merchant, and he seems to know how to cook."
"Just a jack-of-all-trades."
"Young Master, follow him and practice a lot. From high school to high school, you will be able to do everything with ease and at court."
"I hope so."
At this time, there was a dispute in the Tian family.
After Tian Rou decided that she would not marry anyone other than Zhao Ping, she went home and planned to beg her father to agree to the marriage.
According to her idea, this matter was originally brought up by her father, and if she nodded, there would definitely be no more problems.
But never would I have thought that my father would not agree immediately after hearing the news.
Instead, he shook his head and said, "Xiaorou, let's listen to your cousin's opinion on this matter when he wakes up."
Um?
Tian Rou was stunned and asked doubtfully: "Dad, didn't you always want me to marry Mr. Zhao?"
"Why do you want to listen to my cousin's opinion when I take the initiative now?"
"And when you came back just now, you patted Mr. Zhao on the shoulder and wanted to betroth me to him. Now you regret it, don't you think it damages your credibility?"
"That was a drunken joke."
Tian Fuhai said with a blushing face.
He waved his hand and asked Zhou An to call Tian Yi.
Tian Yi came quickly and became angry on the spot when he heard Tian Rou's thoughts.
He didn't even call him uncle, he just called him by his first name.
"Tian Fuhai, what did I tell you today at the Sheriff's Mansion?"
"I am in charge of Tian Rou's marriage. She has already been betrothed to Liu Wenhao, the son of the Minister of Household Affairs. How can we let her marry Zhao Ping again?"
Tian Fuhai's face turned red and he didn't even fart.
Tian Rou was shocked.
"What?"
"I'm already betrothed to someone else?"
"Why didn't I know?"
"Need you to know?"
Tian Yi said coldly.
"This matter is settled. I will return to Beijing tomorrow to resume my duties. You come back to Beijing with me."
"Hurry up and get the marriage done, lest the Minister of Revenue can't wait any longer and let Liu Wenhao marry someone else. At that time, you can only be a concubine."
"I do not want."
Tian Rou cried aggrievedly.
"I don't even know Liu Wenhao, let alone whether he is ugly or beautiful. I don't want to marry him."
"I won't allow you to refute."
Tian Yi said: "Since ancient times, women's marriages have been decided by their parents."
"As the eldest brother, who is like a father, I can take charge of your marriage on behalf of Tian Fuhai."
"Tian Fuhai, please enlighten Tian Rou. If this matter cannot be done, not only will I have to play, but our entire Tian family may be slaughtered completely."
"You should understand the stakes."
"I see."
Tian Fuhai sighed, "Niece, don't worry, I will let Xiaorou go to the capital to get married."
"I'm still a little sleepy, so I'm going to rest first."
After saying these words, Tian Yi left in a swaggering manner.
I felt very proud.
By using his cousin Tian Rou to climb the big tree of Hubu Shangshu, he will have a better chance of being promoted to Hanlin bachelor in the future.
There will be rights that are inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
It will definitely bring glory to the Tian family for several generations.
Not to mention that Tian Rou was just his cousin, even if it was his biological daughter who could gain such honor, he would never frown when it was time to sacrifice.
"Dad, help me think of a solution quickly. I don't want to marry Liu Wenhao. I just want to marry Zhao Ping."
As soon as Tian Yi left, Tian Rou knelt down in front of his father and begged.
"Nonsense!"
Tian Fuhai threw her arm away and said angrily: "What's so good about marrying Zhao Ping?"
"He is just a commoner. He knows some medical skills at best. He has not even passed the medical officer examination. He is nothing in front of Liu Wenhao."
"But he is a seventh-grade wine tasting officer."
Tian Rou retorted.
“What about the seventh-grade wine tasting officer?”
Tian Fuhai said disdainfully: "Look at Xu Tianhua, isn't he also a seventh-grade wine tasting officer?"
"You are still the famous person next to Your Majesty, but you still can't even raise your head in front of those really high-ranking officials in the court?"
"Mr. Zhao knows how to diagnose pulse with silk threads, so he must have a close relationship with the imperial physician..."
"What about the imperial doctor?"
Tian Fuhai was even more disdainful, "After being promoted to the top, it's just a promotion from a Taiyuan hospital. It's just a fifth-grade official without any real power."
"And what about Liu Wenhao? He is very likely to take over his father's position and become the Minister of Household Affairs in the future."
"That's a real third-grade official."
“I don’t know how many times better than giving advice in the hospital.”
"If it weren't for your cousin's secret operation, do you think our family's family would be worthy of being the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance?"
"The fact that you can marry Liu Wenhao is a blessing that our family has cultivated over several lifetimes. Just be content."
"Dad, aren't you afraid of offending Mr. Zhao by doing this?"
Tian Rou asked again: "Aren't you afraid that he won't sell the acacia wine to us?"
"When the time comes, our family won't have the money to expand the textile workshop, and if we can't deliver the annual cloth, the court will hold us accountable."
"First, as long as you marry Liu Wenhao, the Minister of Household Affairs will help us solve the small amount of money."
Tian Fuhai chuckled, "Secondly, I control the sales path of Acacia Wine. It is Zhao Ping who needs to ask me, not me who wants to curry favor with him."
"You promised Mr. Zhao before that you would marry me to him, and now you have gone back on your word. Aren't you afraid of breaking your promise?"
Tian Rou still refused to admit defeat and continued to press, "The most important thing in business is credibility. Once trust is broken, our business will be completely destroyed."
"Hahaha."
After hearing this, Tian Fuhai laughed.
"Xiaorou, I taught you how to do business."
"But not all of it is granted to you."
"I'm here to tell you today. There is another sentence behind the merchant's letter, which is to lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade."
"As long as you are the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and earn a lot of money every day to do business with our Tian family, you can break through the threshold of our family. Who cares about our family's reputation?"
"Okay, this matter is settled."
"Xiao Cui, help the young lady go back to her room to rest. Don't let her escape, otherwise I will beat you to death with a stick."
"yes."
Xiao Cui's face changed with fear, and she didn't dare to refute, so she grabbed Tian Rou and forced her away.
Zhou An, who was standing aside, wanted to speak several times, but when he thought that this was a family matter of the Tian family, it was inconvenient for him as an outsider to speak, so he had to give up.
"I can't sit still and wait."
After returning to the boudoir, Tian Rou took Xiao Cui's hand and said, "Xiao Cui, you are the only one who can help me now."
"I'll write a letter, and you can take it out to my brother on the pretext of going out to buy something."
"After he reads the letter, he will definitely be able to think of a way to break the situation."
"I will definitely fulfill my mission."
Xiaocui bowed, turned around and left with Tian Rou's letter.
When Zhou An, who was patrolling, saw this, instead of stopping her, he personally escorted her away. He was still sighing in his heart, "Xiao Rou, this old slave can only help you so far."
