"The second one is much simpler, and there is a huge shortage of materials. Look, what is that?"
The old Confucian pointed to a few clumps of water plants in the corner of the small pond and said.
Gongliang looked in the direction of his finger and realized what kind of waterweed it was. It was clearly a pile of dragon beards!
"This dragon-bearded crocodile was originally unique to your wilderness. Now it was brought to the east by merchants from the east and planted in large quantities by farmers.
But I don’t know whether it was due to the soil, but after the originally spiritual species of dragon-bearded duck came to the eastern soil, it faded into a mortal thing. Although the taste is not as sweet as that of Dahuang, it is very popular among ordinary people.
The second recipe of osmanthus cake is dragon beard and honey osmanthus.
First, peel and grind the asparagus, use fine cloth to filter out the impurities in the slurry, and dry the pure slurry in the sun. This is the main material for making sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Osmanthus must also be prepared.
First, clean osmanthus must be dried and ground into powder, then mixed with honey, sealed and stored in a jar, and taken out after 7749 days, it will be honey osmanthus.
This substance has many wonderful properties: it can resolve phlegm and relieve cough, it can relieve qi and relieve pain, it can disperse blood and relieve dysentery, and it can also remove bad smell in the mouth.
To prepare the asparagus powder and honey osmanthus, you only need to add a can of asparagus powder and a little more water to make a paste, then dissolve the honey osmanthus with about five cans of hot water and brew it while it is hot.
Put it into the dragon beard powder.
When pouring it in, remember to stir constantly to allow the two to blend. Finally, pour it into a basin, place it on a large pot, steam it over high heat for more than a quarter of an hour, take it out, and eat it after it cools."
While Gong Liang listened to the old Confucian's explanation of how to make osmanthus cake, his mind was racing. He felt that the method of making osmanthus cake was not difficult, it was very simple.
The method of grinding the slurry and extracting the powder from the long-bearded duck is actually the same as he used to make the sweet potato powder, and the honey-osmanthus flower is not difficult at all.
The making of this kind of sweet-scented osmanthus cake reminded him of the way he used to make pink osmanthus cake at home. There was not much difference between the two.
In fact, there are many other ways to make osmanthus cake, such as grinding powder and mixing it with fried flour, pressing it into a mold and steaming it, or you can also wrap it. You don’t have to follow his method, there are many more you can do.
After studying several kinds, it won’t kill anyone anyway.
"My little friend, did you hear clearly?" The old Confucian asked when he saw that Gong's conscience was in a daze.
"I understand, I understand." Gongliang replied quickly.
"I really understand." The old Confucian asked again...
"Of course I understand, what's so difficult about it?"
Although the old Confucian had doubts about whether Gong Liang remembered his words, seeing his sworn look, he said nothing more and asked instead: "I just saw my little friend wandering outside the door. What's the matter?"
"I really have something to ask of you. I wonder if Master can teach me Eastern characters. But there is no need to learn Eastern classics. You only need to teach me how to read and pronounce the characters, and learn Eastern languages and Eastern characters as soon as possible." In fact, Gongliang had already intended to learn.
I just haven’t had the opportunity to learn Dongtu writing. Now I’m taking advantage of my free time to learn it, so as not to become blind when I go to Dongtu in the future and don’t know the language and can’t read.
The old Confucian thought for a while and responded: "That's okay."
In fact, many Huang people will temporarily learn the Eastern script when they go to the Eastern Land for training.
Some Confucian scholars from the East saw an opportunity and took the opportunity to open a bookstore to teach barren people to temporarily learn Eastern characters, just like a short-term training class, and each of them made a lot of money.
"Then thank you very much, Master." Gongliang thanked him respectfully.
The two chatted for a few more words, and then Gongliang said goodbye and left, following the old man named Mo Li to dig tea seedlings.
After digging the tea seedlings, he came to the golden osmanthus tree to pick osmanthus flowers. He found that there were some small osmanthus trees under the tree, so he was greedy and shamelessly asked for a few from the old Confucian. It can be said that the humblest man is invincible.
That is to say, the master has a good nature and doesn't care about him, otherwise he would have been kicked out long ago.
After returning home, Yuan Gungun clamored for some sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but Gong Liang kicked him aside.
This idiot didn't know how to be embarrassed, so he started yelling randomly in other people's homes. Gongliang grabbed his big fat face, kneaded it, and taught him a lesson: "If you dare to yell and yell at other people's homes in the future, be careful and I'll deal with you.
Are you embarrassed just now?"
Yuan Gungun was used to being abused by Gong Liang, so he didn't feel anything about being scratched on the face by him. Instead, he screamed: "Gong Liang, I want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
This greedy guy is really speechless.
I had to explain: "It can't be done now, it will take a few days. I will give you some cakes first. When they are ready in a few days, I will give them to you to eat."
I didn’t have sweet-scented osmanthus cake to eat, but I didn’t mind the round mooncakes, so I sat there with the mooncakes and started to bite them. Gongliang took the time to plant tea seedlings and golden osmanthus in the space, and then went to find a few osmanthus cakes.
To use charcoal, cut the charcoal core into a long round shape of pencil lead, and sandwich it between a piece of strong bamboo about the thickness of your little finger to make a pen. Otherwise, the brush for calligraphy is too soft, and it has not been used for a long time, and it is difficult to adapt to it for a while, so you can only use it first
Instead, I will slowly practice calligraphy later.
The next day, Gong Liang came to Qingyang Bookstore with his newly made charcoal and a pile of animal skins.
"Hey, what is this?" the old Confucian asked strangely when he saw him bringing charcoal pencils.
"This is made of charcoal. I call it charcoal. I really can't write with that soft brush, so I'll use charcoal instead, and then I can learn the calligraphy slowly later!" Gongliang
explained.
"This is also a way." The old Confucian touched his beard and said: "Since we are here, let's get started!"
There were other students in the bookstore. In order not to disturb them, the old Confucian specially placed the position of Gongliang in the corner of the bookstore.
However, the children in the bookstore were not as kind-hearted as the old Confucian scholars, and they were not surprised to see Gong Liang, Mi Gu and others.
All the little guys were very curious about how someone as old as Gongliang came to study in the bookstore. Especially when they saw Migu with wings and nine-color tail and the innocent and round figure, they were very fond of it. For a moment, these little guys were so excited.
My mind was completely focused on Mi Gu and Yuan Gungun, and I had no intention of reading.
When the old Confucian saw this, he quickly asked Gong Liang to move to the courtyard behind so as not to disturb these schoolchildren from studying.
"Ask: 'The Great Learning', the Confucian scholars of the past thought that the learning of adults is the study of adults. Dare I ask why the learning of adults lies in the clear virtue?'"
On the small pavilion near the water, the old Confucian held a new book, pointed at the words in the book, and taught Gongliang to read them one by one. While reading, he also wrote the corresponding strange words beside it so that he could recognize it.
This teaching method may be good for others, but Gongliang has his own ideas.
So, he suggested to the old Confucian: "Master, I wonder if you can teach me how to read using the phonetic sequence, such as ah acrimony, oh, oh, ooh, etc., in the phonetic order. In this way, I can
The characters you teach can be arranged phonetically and compared with the unknown characters, so you don’t have to learn them randomly and end up unable to remember anything."
"According to rhyme, you also understand rhyme?" the old Confucian said in surprise.
"I have read books on this subject before." Gongliang explained casually.
In fact, he didn't know anything about rhymes. He just wanted the master to teach him how to read according to the alphabetical order of ae and iuu in the Xinhua dictionary of his previous life. Then he would write the Eastern dialect he learned on the animal skin in the order of these letters, and
The wild texts are compared with each other.
In the future, it can be compiled into a dictionary that compares Huangwen and Dongtu scripts. This will save you the trouble of not remembering the Dongtu language and not knowing who to ask if you don’t understand the Dongtu characters.
After hearing Gong Liang's words, the old Confucian said: "If we teach according to rhyme, it would be simple. It's a pity that you don't know my Dongtu writing, otherwise you can look at the Huangyun compiled by my Eastern Confucian. That's my
The classics compiled by the great Confucian scholars from the East for the students who came here and don’t understand Huangwen, it contains exactly what you want, but you can use it as a reference."
After saying that, he went to the house and took out several classics about twenty centimeters thick.
Gong Liang opened it and saw that it was filled with densely packed Eastern characters, and he couldn't understand any of them.
These Dongtu characters look very similar to the ancient seal scripts of the Pre-Qin Dynasty, but they are paradoxical and seem to be more elegant.
After taking a few glances, he found that there were wild characters on it, and next to them were relatively small Eastern characters, which should be used for explanation or comparison. There was also a radical search at the back, which seemed very standardized. Unfortunately, he didn't understand it at all.
The above text, but as Master said, this desolate rhyme can be used for reference, but that is a matter for the future.
