"Hey--the food is coming, give it to me!" Along with the shouting, a strong boy ran to the yard with two huge wooden barrels in his arms.

This person's name is Liu Shuan, who was sent to "serve" Taoist Qingfeng that day and ended up breaking the other party's defense. Xian Ruxing was very satisfied with his "fight results". Seeing that he was as powerful as a cow, he was also simple and straightforward.

Drop to your side and use it.

When I lifted the lid of the bucket, a scent of fragrance hit my brain. The slightly yellow rice grains in the bucket were clearly distinguished, crystal clear in the sun.

The little Taoist priests were so straight that they saw it. This was the essence of rice. Usually, only the New Year could be eaten. Today, there were four or five barrels of light.

"There will be white flour steamed buns later. You guys, sprinkle some water on the ground and don't let the gray rise when eating." Liu Shuan ordered, wiped his sweat, turned around and went to the kitchen to help.

In the kitchen of Shejitan, Miaole cut vegetables quickly and with her hands and feet. She is domineering and arrogant in her daily life, but she is very popular with her master. It is precisely this cooking skill. Behind her, Xian Ruxing watched the fire slowly,

I also held a cucumber in my hand and chewed it while fanning it, looking very comfortable.

Miaole rolled her eyes without any trace and said sarcastically: "Master Ruxing, this is the one you said you want to show off your skills? Why don't you rest? Just leave this matter to the boys, so you won't have to worry about it.

”

"Okay, just call me before every dish you want to be served." Xian Ruxing responded lazily.

Forty-nine days have passed since King Xing died of illness. It is logical that except for direct blood relatives, the rest of the people in the palace can be removed from the patriotic palace, but seeing that the adults are still wearing plain white, it is not good for them to be so big, but it is not good for them to be big fish and meat like this.

After eating vegetables that had been around for almost two months, even the Taoists could not stand it. So with the lifting of the ban today, Xian Ruxing and the head of Xuanyi of Jingyun Palace discussed and planned to hold a banquet, although it was still simple.

At least let everyone have a full stomach.

Xian Ruxing volunteered to help cook.

"Three rich and noble vegetarians, amber green bamboo shoots, yam tablets, juiced tofu with small rapeseed, auspicious and good fortune eight treasure rice... Very good, I haven't eaten it for a long time so exquisite." Xuan Yiren looked at the dishes on the table, and laughed

His eyes narrowed, and it is not difficult to tell from his fat body that he really likes to eat.

Taoism is mainly divided into two schools: Quanzhen and Zhengyi. Quanzhen sect mainly focuses on "dual cultivation of life and life, and both merit and practice", advocates not getting married, eating vegetarian food, and becoming a monk Taoist priest. The founder Wang Chongyang was highly appreciated by Genghis Khan and once

The monks who ruled the world reached their peak during the Yuan Dynasty.

The Zhengyi School was originally the Five Doks of Rice Dao, which was created by Zhang Ling during the reign of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty. She usually painted talismans to drive away ghosts and prayed for blessings and disasters. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, she relied on the Zhengyi Taoism. For example, the Jingyun Palace, Qingfeng Temple, etc., were all under the Zhengyi School.

They can eat meat, drink wine, and even get married and have children. However, in order to maintain their fairy-like personality, many members of the family rarely do this in front of outsiders.

Xuan Yi is also a famous scholar. He has been knowledgeable for most of his life. Although he praised the dishes on the table, he didn't take it seriously. He was just a vegetarian dish, but he could still have meat... Huh?

Xuan Yiren widened his eyes, staring in disbelief, "How can this tofu be so fresh? Miaole, did you cook it in chicken soup?"

"No, Master, I didn't even put much oil on." Miaole felt a little aggrieved.

Then... Xuan was surprised and suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Xian Ruxing who was sitting aside, "Fellow Daoist Ruxing, is this your work?"

Xian Ruxing smiled but said nothing, which was a default.

In this way, Xuan Yi was not very anxious. Although he didn't interact with Xian Ruxing frequently, he could also see that the other party was very versatile in his work. He could definitely not do something like eating meat during the mourning period, so there must be

What other means?

Xuan Yi grabbed the spring bamboo shoots and felt the crispy, tender and sweet taste in his mouth. He shook his head and said, "It's not vulgar and not thin. Braised pork with bamboo shoots, and these bamboo shoots are so delicious when they eat dried bamboo shoots. It would be so good if they stew some pigs in.

”

"Then the relationship is good. After a few days, the mansion will be relaxed faster. I will make a copy to send to my uncle." Xian Ruxing said in a gentle voice.

Xuan Yi paused slightly, looked up at the girl, pretending to be displeased, "I said to fellow Taoist Xian, now Brother Qingfeng is out for a trip, you are the head teacher in Guan's house. I will still be together in the future. If you keep going,

It’s boring to be so humble.”

Xian Ruxing slapped his palm and said, "Oh, I don't think about it, but the courtesy should not be discarded. It's better to do this. In the future, you and I will remain the same in front of outsiders. I will call each other in private. Do you think?"

Xuan Yi nodded with satisfaction, and couldn't help but sigh that Xian Ruxing could be a human being. He had all the benefits and face, and he was relieved. Both sides used tea instead of wine and toasted two cups of each other. Xuan Yi ate two more bites of Eight Treasure Rice, and then couldn't help but sigh.

: "When the old Taoist was young, he traveled to Jiaxing Prefecture with his master. He originally thought that the local sweet dishes were already very delicious. Unexpectedly, he didn't expect that he could eat something better in Anlu."

"If you want sweet and sour foods to taste good, the key is to use good ingredients." Xian Ruxing said this, took out a small bag of paper from his arms, and after opening it, there were some white particles inside.

Xuan Yi gave it to his mouth to taste it, and his eyes lit up, "This is white sugar? But how can this... be so white, there is no scent, how can it be done?"

Xian Ruxing did not answer, but asked back: "Uncle Master thought, if this thing fell in the market, would anyone be willing to buy it?"

"Well, it depends on the price. However, the quality of sugar is so high, I believe that wealthy people are still willing to eat it."

Unlike necessities such as salt, sugar is still a luxury at this time. Take Huguang area for example. Even if there are a small number of fields where sugar cane is grown, the sugar on the market costs 35 cents per kilogram.

I know that high-quality pork costs only 8 cents. Even so, there is almost no white sugar on the market. Most of them are "black sugar", with many impurities inside and not too sweet.

Xian Ruxing estimated it in his mind and then said slowly: "Uncle Master thinks the price of Twenty-Seven Monks is like?"

"Ah?" Xuan Yi thought he had heard it wrong, so he confirmed it again before saying in surprise: "Can you still make money at this price?"

"Of course," Xian Ruxing promised confidently, "This is still the early stage of rush to make a profit. If the subsequent development is good, it can be reduced even if there is a chance."

Hearing this, even Xuan Yi was so scheming that he couldn't help but breathe heavily. After a long time, he came back to his senses and said with some envy: "Then the old Taoist will congratulate you first." He now knew how the other party could rely on the woman.

The power of this royal palace is not underestimated by the ability to make money alone.

"If I don't know what this is, it should be a happy couple." Xian Ruxing shook his head, "For such a big business, I can eat it alone, and I will rely more on you in the future."

Xian Ruxing didn't tell any lies. She was wearing the huge amount of finance given by King Xing that day and walked around outside. She originally planned to let the birds fly, but reality gave her a blow.

Beautiful, young, and possessed a huge treasure. These three things combined together were simply targets in ancient times. Before leaving the city, Xian Ruxing noticed three or four waves of gangsters who were malicious about her. Fortunately, she still had her own

Space, you can go in and hide at critical moments.

After she came out, Xian Ruxing learned from her mistakes and felt that she had thought it was too simple before. If she wanted to live a stable life in this era, it would be better to cultivate her own power. This is a long-term process, so she has to get a first

The identity that can be placed on the table is far from enough to be a Taoist priest worshipped by the royal palace.

She decided to choose the sugar business after careful consideration. First of all, sugar is not too sensitive. In fact, in a few decades, some people in Fujian and other places have developed the "yellow mud water decolorization sugar method", and then

It was rapid development. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, sugar had become the third largest export commodity other than porcelain and silk.

Xian Ruxing only knows a rough idea and has not studied it in depth, so she chose a more convenient and fast method of separating lime milk. That is, add lime milk to the hot sugarcane juice, precipitate and take the upper part, steam and cook

Cool the crystals and finally use a separator to separate the sugar.

The steps are actually very simple, and the principle of the separator is not troublesome, but a large amount of quicklime and manpower are required during this period. Is there any clearance of the distribution of local lime ore than the Taoist priests who are known as "ancient chemists"?

Besides, Jingyun Palace is a local Taoist temple. Xuanyi has acquaintances among all three religions and all kinds of people, and it is also a helper in sales. Lao Xing, who respects them the most in the palace, left, and the prince succeeded to the throne. He still can't figure out what his attitude was. Xuanyi President

Consider it for the people of the door.

Sure enough, after hearing the conditions given by Xian Ruxing, Xuan agreed without thinking, and smiled happily that he would do his best and asked the other party to rest assured.

"So, that nephew is waiting for the news of his uncle." Xian Ruxing raised the teacup slightly, and the two of them gently touched the cup.

Just as they were planning to study the market in depth, they suddenly heard a loud shout.

"Two little thieves! Let's see where you are running! You dare to go to my aunt to steal vegetables and eat, don't want to live anymore, right?" I looked curiously and saw Miaole grabbing the back of the two children's clothes, and catch the two children's clothes.

He picked them up like a kitten.

The child, one man and one woman, was all white and clean. The boy looked bigger and was struggling constantly, yelling: "Let me go! Be careful that I will teach you a lesson. I may kill the tiger!"

The girl's face was as swelling as a red apple, and she looked extremely ashamed when she was dejected.

Xian Ruxing felt that the other party looked familiar, and thought for a moment before he realized that this wasn’t Shou, the youngest daughter of King Xing, and he had met before he met in front of the hospital bed. Thinking of this, he hurried to rescue him and stammered at Miaole:

"Hurry, let go quickly, these two...well, they are the boys who just came from the next door, they are all their own people."

There was no way to make up a reason casually. It was hard to say that the little lady from the royal family came here to steal food and was caught.

"Can you just steal something to eat with your own people? Really, those guys outside don't know if they are optimistic, let them sneak in!" Miaole was angry.

These words reminded Xian Ruxing that the so-called "Sheji Temple" is so far away from the back house of the royal palace, and it is impossible to touch it with two children alone, unless...

Xian Ruxing noticed that the child's eyes couldn't help but sweep the side room with firewood next to the kitchenette, and quietly stepped forward two steps forward and kicked open the door.

Zhu Houcan couldn't dodge and stood there awkwardly, holding a small plate of dishes in his hand.
