Chapter 12 Strange ash vegetable(1/2)
Two updates together!
"Well, this matter has just passed, do you think so?" Fatty Yan asked.
Liu An swallowed his saliva and asked, "What if I die?"
"Then everyone in this group will die except me." Fatty Yan said in an understatement.
Liu An was frightened. This was the first time Liu An encountered such a person who did not take human life seriously.
"I have no objection." Liu An said quickly.
Fatty Yan said: "Then you can continue to do things, go ahead."
Liu An was on tenterhooks all day long, not knowing what Fatty Yan meant by suffering.
At noon the next day, Liu An was delivering food and found that there seemed to be a few people missing.
It happened that at noon it was Yuan Xing who delivered the bowls and chopsticks.
"Liu An, have you seen it? There are five people missing from the lower court." Yuan Xing said.
"What's wrong?" Liu An's heart skipped a beat.
"Huang Shujian, Ning Guowen, Liu Wenxian, Wu Guozhong, and Xu Youmin ate something brought by someone else yesterday and got poisoned. They have been sent down the mountain. It is said that they are not alive anymore," Yuan Xing said.
"Gudong!" Liu An swallowed his saliva and almost looked back at Fatty Yan.
"How come you don't know who brought the things?" Liu An asked.
"A few of them secretly brought some pastries, wine, and dried meat. They all ate together. In the morning, they found that their faces were all blue. Moreover, these people violated the rules of the lower house and drank, so Master Sun directly stabbed them.
The needle was sent back, and several people were expelled. It is said that the disciples from these families will never want to enter the lower house again. The lower house stipulates that you cannot drink alcohol. These wines were sent by each family. Those disciples will be miserable when they go back.
Yes." Yuan Xing explained.
"Uh..." Liu An huffed.
"You should quickly find a way to return to the lower courtyard. It is said that they are about to start choosing a path of spiritual practice." Yuan Xing then left.
Liu An felt a chill on his back. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Fatty Yan smiling at him.
"Haha." Liu An smiled awkwardly.
Poisoning….
If Liu An is afraid of anything, he is afraid of poisoning, because Liu An was poisoned once after eating wild mushrooms, which caused vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, etc., and his entire nerves were paralyzed.
"Liu An." In the afternoon, Liu An was sorting the kimchi, and Fatty Yan came.
"Look, is this the kimchi jar you want?" Fatty Yan was followed by a dozen handymen, all of whom were big-bellied kimchi jars over one meter tall.
"That's it, that's it." Liu An nodded.
With the help of a dozen handymen, the kimchi in the original jar was transferred to the new jar. Of course, the new jar was washed.
"Liu An, do you think there are any other ways to make this besides kimchi? Those old vegetable gangs also paid for it." Fatty Yan asked.
"Mr. Yan, there shouldn't be any shortage of money in this temple, right?" Liu An said.
"There is no shortage of money in the temple, but it's not good to waste it in vain." Fatty Yan said.
Liu An looked at Fatty Yan with some suspicion. This fat man was not as kind as he seemed. There must be a reason.
"Okay, some people questioned me for wasting food, but it's a huge injustice. How can those old food gangsters eat?" Fatty Yan looked at Liu An's suspicious eyes and said.
When Liu An heard this, he knew there must be something fishy, so he said, "I can think of a way, but I still have to do something?"
"You don't need to do anything else for half a month. You can do whatever you want!" Fatty Yan said.
"Then let me give it a try." Liu An nodded.
When Liu An got up the next morning, he told Fatty Yan that he wanted some green vegetables for experiment.
Then I took a basket to Master Sun's yard.
"What are you doing?" There is someone guarding this side.
"I'm going to pick vegetables." Liu An said.
In fact, Liu An wants to drink tea. Liu An doesn't drink or smoke much, but he is an old tea drinker. He uses an enamel tea jar that holds two kilograms of water at a time. He brews a large jar every time and then drinks it. So here he is.
This time I secretly picked some fresh tea leaves, which tasted great.
The Taoist priest guarding here saw the basket and let it go.
Master Sun's yard is a quadrangle, and Liu An will certainly not go inside the house. In the middle of the yard is a garden, about fifteen or six meters long and wide. There are tea trees in it, and there are some vegetables and other things under the tea trees, but obviously there is nothing
People management.
Of course there was some grass. Liu An pulled out the grass and vegetables, and then put the vegetables in another place. Soon the basket was full.
Liu An stretched his head and looked around, but didn't find anyone. He immediately started picking tea. The best tea leaves were the buds in the middle, but Liu An was darker, basically three or four leaves together.
Wrap it in cloth and leave with the basket.
"Come back tomorrow." Liu An said as he was leaving. The Taoist priests guarding here didn't know if they heard him.
After lunch, Liu An went to the lower courtyard to attend classes.
It wasn't Master Sun giving a lecture, but another Taoist priest, this Taoist priest, directly read a passage and then asked someone to recite it, and that was it.
The morning class is one and a half hours long, the afternoon class is actually in the afternoon and is one and a half hours long, and there is also the evening class in the evening which is one hour long.
The master was talking about physiognomy. Liu An was confused as he listened. Physiography is also a very complicated thing, including eyebrows, face shape, forehead size, eye size, location, nose, mouth, teeth, and even some moles and their locations.
, and whether there is hair on the mole or not, there is knowledge.
Today we are learning about the location of the nevus in physiognomy and what the results are when combined with other factors.
Liu An had never learned this at all, and he was confused when he heard it.
"Do you understand?" An hour and a half later, when the professor left, Yuan Xing asked in a low voice.
"I don't understand." Liu An said.
"Then you're in trouble. There's going to be a physiognomy test this month. I have notes here. Do you want to read them?" Yuan Xing asked.
"Let me see." Liu An nodded.
The scroll Yuan Xing took out was half a foot tall, made of animal skins, with calligraphy written on it the size of flies.
"There are three more, this is the most basic." Yuan Xing said.
Liu An took these scrolls and returned to the kitchen. Liu An still lived in the original place.
But now Liu An wants to fry tea leaves. There are a lot of tea leaves in Liu An's hometown, and every household has them. Of course there is a master-level frying method, haha!
How much does one labor cost, and how much does a tea-frying machine worth a few hundred yuan cost per day? Of course, the master can still press the button.
Of course, tea is expensive for a reason, and Liu An must recognize this. First of all, Mingqian tea has only a small output, so it is rare and expensive, and Mingqian tea is indeed delicious.
Liu An directly heated an iron pot. There were not many tea leaves, only two or three kilograms of fresh tea, mainly four or five large leaves.
"Tsk tsk, did you go to Master Sun's yard to pick them?" Fatty Yan asked when he saw these tea leaves.
"Tea trees must be picked every year, otherwise the tree shape will not be good." Liu An said.
"Well, that's a good excuse." Fatty Yan said.
There was just some charcoal under the bottom of the pot. Although Liu An knew how to fry tea, he had never fried it before, so it turned out slightly black.
Fatty Yan grabbed some without anyone noticing, then put it into the teapot and poured boiling water.
"It's burnt, but the taste is okay." Fatty Yan took a sip and then said.
Liu An curled her lips inwardly, maybe she didn't know the word charcoal baking.
Of course Liu An didn't mean it.
Liu An took the rest back by himself and made tea directly in a large wooden bowl. There were no tea utensils. Liu An didn't pay attention to these. A large teapot would be fine, but there was nothing wrong with the bowl.
"There are some in Master Sun's courtyard, the Magistrate's Hall, and the Yangji Hall. I say hello, you can pick them tomorrow, and I will split them in half." Fatty Yan held the teapot, drank from it, and walked outside Liu An's window.
He spoke.
"...Okay." Liu An wanted to say no, but the tea tasted really good. When he drank water recently, his mouth became like a bird.
The next morning, Liu An came to Master Sun's courtyard again.
Master Sun was actually waiting for Liu An. Liu An was panicking inwardly, but looked calm on the outside.
"You didn't even know to bring the tea leaves to me. This, this, and this are all medicinal herbs. Don't pull them out. Clean the rest." Master Sun said angrily. Fatty Yan brought the tea to him.
Although it's a bit burnt, the taste is actually unique.
"Master Sun, I was wrong. I will bring it to you tomorrow." Liu An is a good boy, so of course he should readily admit his mistakes.
"Huh." Master Sun snorted.
"By the way. If you can't learn physiognomy well, learn medicine." Master Sun said as he walked away.
Liu An shrank his neck. Liu An really didn't want to learn medical skills. Yuan Xing's words made sense. Unless he was a god, there would always be diseases that couldn't be cured.
Master Sun left, and Liu An felt particularly bad.
To be continued...
