Chapter 5 Blood Prosperity
"In those days, the ancestor of the Su family, Taoist Taoist Duan Zheng, was a philanthropist who was willing to give alms. However, there were strangers who frequently received alms and had no repayment, so he said to Duke Duan Zheng: 'I have two acupuncture points, one for wealth and one for honor.' Duke Duan Zheng said: 'I
I want my children and grandchildren to study, but I don’t want to be rich.'"
"So the stranger pointed out the place, took a lamp and burned it on the ground. If the wind does not extinguish it, that is the place where the ancestral tomb of my Su family, Kelongli, is."
"Last year, Zizhan painted the three characters "Lian'ao Mountain" on the stone cliff of Qiyun Temple. It is as big as a house, flying vigorously, and is extraordinary. The corners of his head have been exposed, and it is expected to soar."
"Lei Jianfu Lei Taijian, the prefect of Jiazhou, recommended your father and brother to the court before moving to Jiujiang. The three of them are all great talents and will soon be famous in the southwest. There is no need to worry about this."
Ba Niang said in surprise: "You know quite a lot at such a young age."
Su You puffed up his chest and said, "Although I am young, my ears are very sharp, and the old man likes to talk, so I have already heard the cocoons."
Banniang laughed again: "Banniang, I'm sorry. How is my old uncle doing?"
Su You said: "Kang Jian is here. He chased me all over the mountain, and I have changed several yellow thorn sticks."
Ba Niang said with a smile: "You can see that Uncle Yao is also a troublemaker."
Su You said seriously: "Those who know me say that I am worried, forget it."
After that, he picked up some interesting stories from the village and talked to Banniang.
Banniang was amused by Su You and smiled widely, and said: "Listening to what Uncle Yao said, Banniang is in a much better mood."
Su You then had the opportunity to ask, "What's wrong with Banniang?"
Ba Niang frowned again and said: "I had a cold before. It was delayed for a long time, and I felt depressed. I didn't eat enough and was tired of taking medicine."
Su You thought for a while and said: "We have just recovered from a serious illness, but we still need to adjust our diet. How about I give Banniang a few country-style treatments, maybe Banniang will have a better appetite. If she starts sweating again, she may be cured."
Ba Niang was a little surprised, waved her hands and said repeatedly: "No, no, no, how can a gentleman still work for my little uncle when he is far away in the kitchen?"
Su You blinked and replied generously: "It's a shame for a gentleman to stay away from the kitchen. I don't have that problem. Su Youda was an orphan when he was born. He knows the suffering of orphans. Even for the sake of his children, he must work hard."
Extra food."
Eight Niang was in awe: "Uncle Xiao Yao taught you right, Eight Niang has learned the lesson."
Su You said: "It's okay, I'm not doing this randomly, I'll always surprise you."
…
He asked Siyue to take him into the kitchen, but he took a long way.
Thinking about it, what bookstores are most afraid of is fire. The kitchen of Cheng's Bookstore is quite far away from the courtyard just now, and it is separated by a sidewalk.
Entering the kitchen, Su You inspected it, looked at the salt shaker, and murmured: "As expected."
Si Yue became more and more curious about this child of the Su family. This child was completely different from other naughty children. He could talk to the old man, and he could also make the young lady laugh and persuade her to eat. In Si Yue's heart, this was very special.
Amazing.
Seeing Su You shaking his head at the salt shaker, he couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, is there something wrong?"
Su You took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, took a bowl, and gently shook out some white crystals: "I'm a picky person and can't get used to that kind of salt. Fortunately, I brought some of my usual food."
Siyue didn't know what the goods were, so the cook quietly looked at them, but was shocked: "Young Master, this...is this salt?"
Su You found a plate, shook some out, grabbed the cook's finger and wiped it on the plate, and said, "Try it yourself."
The cook put his fingers into his mouth and looked at Su You with surprise for a moment: "There is no foreign smell at all! It's amazing! This... this is purer than the Ningxia green salt sent by the master! How authentic is this salt? ?”
Su You mixed a small bowl of salt water and said with a smile: "This is simple. It is extracted from gray salt. There is a process called purification. But we will talk about this later. Now you need to find a chicken to kill and drop the chicken blood into it." In this bowl."
The cook had long been impressed by this young master. A child who only eats such refined salt must be rich or noble.
Su You was still shouting from behind: "Put the chicken blood into the bowl, stir it, and let it sit until it's even. Don't use your hands! Use a small spoon!"
After speaking, he rummaged through the kitchen and waved to Siyue: "Follow me to the study room outside."
Siyue's face was full of admiration: "Young master, you can also write!"
Su You had a dark look on his face: "The dignified little uncle of Su Zizhan can't write. That's no joke!"
Si Yue brought Su You to the outer room. A master was copying books while he was busy. When he saw the two people approaching, he stood up quickly and said, "Miss Si Yue, what do you want the elder to say?"
Si Yue said: "No, it was the young master who gave the order."
Su You smiled and said: "Master, there is no need to be polite. You can continue reading. I am just borrowing pen and ink to write a recipe."
The Master was also surprised: "Young Master, you are not very old, but you can already write?"
Su You was quite modest: "I'm young and don't have enough writing skills, so I can only use Lang Hao. Although Yang Hao is good, I can't read what I write at my age."
The Master nodded and said: "Young Master is too modest. To be able to say this, you are obviously an expert. However, Lang Hao pen is expensive and only Master can use it. Is it okay to have both Hao Hao and Hao Hao?"
Su You said: "Just write down a recipe, as long as you can recognize it, no need to be too particular."
The inkstone is rough and the ink is mediocre, but the pen is passable and the paper is top quality from Yazhou.
Come to think of it, in a bookstore, the paper can't be too bad.
Su You also picked up a pen for the first time after time travel. He first took out a piece of paper and tried to write a few words. When the feeling came back, he took out another piece of paper and wrote: "Eight anise, one or two and seven dollars; Cloves, three qian; Zanthoxylum bungeanum, one to two or seven qian; Amomum villosum, three qian; fennel, one to two to five qian..."
The Master seemed to be a bookworm. He shook his head while watching Su You write, and murmured: "It's a pity, it's a pity..."
Siyue was a little puzzled and asked, "Why is it such a pity?"
The master said: "Although the strength of the young master's handwriting is still a bit lacking, it is elegant and elegant. It is the most rare elegance and nobility. It should be used to try to make prescriptions. Now it is used to make prescriptions." , it’s such a pity…”
Si Yue pursed her lips and smiled and said: "The young master is only five years old. It's still early to go to the Golden Palace to meet the officials."
Su You's handwriting was brought from his previous life. The poverty alleviation work was boring at night, so Su You thought of passing the time by writing.
I originally knew a few small regular scripts, but later I learned traditional calligraphy from several non-heritage inheritors. I was bored, so I chose a calligraphy font on my computer, printed out the "Thousand Character Classic", and practiced it every day.
What he chose was the famous Qi Gong style, which is fair, graceful, elegant, elegant, and full of aristocratic and bookish style.
His calligraphy concepts are deeply influenced by the calligraphy styles of Zhao and Dong. His brushwork is clean but not changeable.
Of course, there are good and bad aspects to this. Those who don't like it think it is sweet, vulgar, boneless, and monotonous.
But the advantage is that this font is used in pavilions, so it can satisfy the tastes of the most picky judges.
The key point is that this is the Song Dynasty. Wen Tian and Wu Xi are the most convinced by this word. Moreover, this word appeared before Zhao and Dong, and even before the mature Slender Gold Body. This kind of nobility can be said to be quite rare, and it can't help but make people look at it.
Bright.
The master was obviously also deeply affected. Only then did he react. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Meng Lang, I wonder which high-ranking family the young master is from?"
Si Yue said proudly: "This is Banniang's youngest uncle, who came from the Su family's old house in Longli."
It was as if Su You was who she was.
While talking, Su You had already finished writing the prescription. He picked it up and blew it dry with his mouth. He stretched out the paper and flicked it: "Thirteen Incenses Are Not Easy for a Thousand Gold. Wait for the moon. Take the prescription. I remember that when the shopkeeper asked about it, they all responded. I followed the prescription."
I just need to take the medicine, and I’ll have to ask for the prescription back after I’m done.”
Siyue took the prescription with both hands and put it away gently: "It's not that troublesome. The Cheng family has a pharmacy. I'll go get the medicine and the shopkeeper won't ask any questions."
Su You took out a piece of mulberry paper, and after hearing this, he continued: "That would be better, grind the medicine into powder. I will go to the kitchen to work."
The master respectfully delivered Su You to the door of the inner house. There was another person in the Cheng family who did not regard him as a child.
Back in the back kitchen of the inner courtyard, the chicken had been killed. When the cook saw Su You coming, he quickly stepped forward and said nervously: "Xiao Lang, chicken blood, that chicken blood..."
