Molested Zulong at the beginning

She took a bowl from Bai Su's hand, took a small sip, and a hint of surprise flashed in her phoenix eyes.

The mellow and thick marinade, the smooth and delicious bean curd, with a salty and delicious taste, spreads in the mouth and tongue, making people appetite.

Even Zheng Jie, who is extremely restrained on weekdays, couldn't help but eat a big bowl at this time.

Bai Su looked at the turbulent state of the two, smiled on his face, and couldn't help thinking to himself: "Salty tofu nao, it really is the best in the world, no one can resist its charm."

Sister Zheng touched her stomach that seemed to be full and about to overflow, and her phoenix eyes glanced regretfully at the food left in the pot.

She looked at Bai Su, and asked curiously: "What is this, why have I never seen it before?"

"In fact, this thing can be seen everywhere in the market, it's just what it looks like, it's not like that."

Bai Su chuckled, picked up a yellow-orange bean, and gently placed it on the table.

"Could it be made of beans, but... isn't it rare for beans to be flatulent? Why do I eat so much and feel nothing at all, and why are they so delicious?" Sister Zheng looked at the beans on the table, and her phoenix eyes flashed. A trace of surprise.

Although the Central Plains has a long tradition of planting beans, the status of beans has never been very high. The staple food has always been corn, rice, and wheat.

The reason is that because of the rare miasma in the beans, eating too much will swell the stomach, and there is no way to eat it as a staple food.

The common way of eating these days is to use boiled beans as a side dish, or to make bean paste. This is the first time she has seen such a delicacy of eating beans as a meal.

Bai Su looked at her surprised face, and smiled: "The reason why I bloated my stomach after eating too much beans is because there is a rare poison called lactone in it, so I feel uncomfortable."

"However, this toxicity can be resolved. You only need to soak it in clean water for an hour and cycle it several times to reduce the toxicity inside, and naturally you will not be flatulent."

"As for this tofu, the production principle is also very simple. You only need to make a millstone and mix the brine, just..."

Bai Su explained the rationale to Sister Zheng.

After Wang Jian listened to it, he was amazed for a while, he didn't expect that beans, which can be seen everywhere, could make such delicious food.

However, Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes lighted up slightly. Wang Jian didn't realize how beneficial this little soybean was, but she, who had always been sensitive, had already keenly perceived the value of this prescription.

After all, although the yield per mu of beans is not as high as that of corn, the yield is still not low, and they can be planted alternately with corn and wheat, but due to the side effects of flatulence, they have not been used for a long time.

If this side effect can be resolved and this prescription spread throughout the world, it will be equivalent to having another staple food in the Central Plains, and the food available to the imperial court will directly increase by one-third.

On the tables of the common people, there is also a delicious and cheap food, which can be said to benefit the country and the people.

"You always bring me surprises." Sister Zheng looked straight at Bai Su with her watery phoenix eyes.

Those fiery eyes were like Cao Cao seeing a plump married woman on the couch, Liu Bei seeing a strong man, Zhou Yu seeing a petite girl with twin ponytails and white silk.

This man is simply a genius. With a single gesture, he came up with such a quick strategy that benefits the country and the people.

If it wasn't for worrying about revealing her identity and scaring Bai Su away, she would have wished to tie up Bai Su, put him in a carriage, bring him back to Xianyang, and squeeze him day and night.

This kind of talent does not work under her command, but lives in the market, it is really a waste of money.

Bai Su glanced at Sister Zheng with a strange expression: "Well...Miss Zhao, what's the matter with you, I always feel that you look at me a little weirdly, could it be...you covet my beauty. Are you greedy for my body?"

Seeing the strange expression on Bai Su's face, Sister Zheng felt a little funny in her heart. She had no interest in his beauty, but it was true that she was greedy for his talent.

She suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, and glanced at the white cloth on Bai Su's body with her phoenix eyes: "I... I just see that your clothes are a bit worn out, so I'm thinking of changing your outfit."

Bai Su looked down at his clothes, and smiled: "I've always been more casual with clothes, as long as I can wear them. Compared with the outfits on my body, I still prefer to tinker with some delicacies to enjoy."

However, Sister Zheng smiled: "As the saying goes, if you speak faithfully, act dignifiedly, and dress upright, then your subordinates will be respectful. You have such talent and good looks. You are destined to become famous in the future. It's a shame that you don't pay attention to clothes now. no."

"Well, you helped my sister solve a problem recently. I owe you a favor all the time. Today I just take you out for a walk. How about choosing an outfit for you?"

"I have lived here since I was a child, so I know it well."

She has always had the habit of being rewarded for her meritorious service. Recently, Bai Su helped her solve her troubles many times, but she didn't have much to reward Bai Su. After all, Bai Su didn't care about money, property, and official career.

There is nothing to reward, so she can only treat it with sincerity, and wants to take this opportunity to help Bai Su tidy up her clothes, so as to strengthen the friendship.

Bai Su was taken aback, is Miss Zhao going on a date with him?

With a smile on his face, he said: "Miss Zhao invited me personally, how dare I refuse, then I will trouble you."

Chapter 28 Money is not important

Bai Su and Zheng Jie walked on the street.

The guards in civilian clothes mingled among the surrounding crowd and followed the two from a distance.

It was noon at this time, and there were many vendors around.

There are those selling rouge pushing carts, and those selling pickled vegetables lined up in jars. The ranger in the restaurant ordered a pot of rice wine, some sashimi and fish ball soup, and a few friends exchanged cups.

From time to time, there was a loud noise, and it was very lively from a distance.

Sister Zheng walked slowly to a fabric shop, touched the fabric with her slender fingers, and shook her head slightly: "This fabric is not good, come, go to the front and have a look."

Bai Su followed Sister Zheng, and asked curiously: "Miss Zhao seems to be very knowledgeable."

There was a flash of reminiscence in Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes: "For a long time in the past, I was wandering outside and experienced many things, so I learned a lot of useful things."

"Come on, take these two and have a look."

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of light blue cloth and a piece of purple cloth and handed them to Bai Su.

Bai Su was stunned for a moment, followed Sister Zheng's instructions, compared it with his body, and at the same time blinked at Sister Zheng, as if asking if this is okay?

Sister Zheng raised her slender eyebrows: "You are obviously a good-looking person, but your behavior is too loose, and you don't have a little arrogance in your body."

"As the saying goes, a gentleman should draw his neck forward, bow his head towards the temple, put on his belt in a dignified manner, wander around and look at it, stand upright, and don't listen. If you stand so crooked, it will be difficult for you to enter the elegant hall in the future."

"Put your chest out, draw your stomach in, hold your neck up..."

As she spoke, she patted Bai Su's back and stomach, making him stand up straight.

Bai Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't want to be an official, so why learn these things?"

"Don't you want to marry a lady from a noble and gentle family?" Sister Zheng looked at Bai Su with a half-smile.

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment: "Miss... from the family."

Sister Zheng pursed her vermilion lips and said with a smile: "A lady from a scholarly family, the higher her status, the more rules she values ​​in daily life. How can you satisfy the other party with your loose personality."

In her heart, the talented Bai Su is like a piece of fine jade with some small flaws on it.

She couldn't help but want to polish it to make Bai Su more perfect.

But Bai Su chuckled: "Compared to Miss Zhao, those ladies from aristocratic families are like fireflies to a bright moon. There is a bright moon beside me, so why bother to look far away to pursue the light of a mere firefly?"

Sister Zheng glanced at him dumbfounded: "Okay, don't be so talkative, go ask the store to measure, make you clothes, and have a look."

Bai Su scratched her cheek, followed the shop assistants, and walked towards the next room.

After about half an hour, the curtain was lifted.

Miss Zheng looked back.

I saw Bai Su changed into a light purple brocade robe, broad shoulders and narrow waist, fair features, and handsome appearance, especially those pair of star-like eyes, black and deep, exuding a quiet light, with a full expression in his eyes smile.

It seems that there is a bit of elegance and celebrity.

Some young girls along the way looked at Bai Su with bewildered eyes, their fair cheeks flushed bright red.

Bai Su walked slowly in front of Sister Zheng, and said with a smile on his face, "How is it, is it okay?"

Sister Zheng nodded lightly, and commented: "Not bad, it looks a bit good."

Even she, who has always had a high vision, had to sigh in her heart, this man is indeed a bit good-looking.

If it was her daughter Hu Tan who came here, she might be really fascinated by Bai Su, but unfortunately she has already passed the age of a girl in Huaichun, so this small wind and wave will naturally not shake her state of mind.

After all, Sister Zheng is not the kind of person who has lived for thousands of years and is still bewitched by masculine sex.

Bai Su and Sister Zheng were walking on the street, and couldn't help asking: "Is there nothing Miss Zhao wants?"

After being so busy for a long time, in the end he only bought things for himself, but the other party had nothing in his hands, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Sister Zheng smiled: "You have helped me a lot recently, this time it will be regarded as my repayment of your favor, don't worry about it, besides, I don't have anything I want."

However, Bai Su didn't say anything, and looked around a lot, and suddenly saw a jewelry store named "Yipinge" in the distance.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Then it will be considered as accompanying me in to have a look, and help me choose a hairpin."

After all, as a person of later generations, he has undergone survival training.

Generally, when girls say they don't care, boys really naively believe what girls say, and don't care about anything. I'm afraid they will see a red death word on their heads the next day.

Sister Zheng didn't say anything when she saw Bai Su's serious eyes.

The two stepped into the shop together, the space inside was very large, even if there were dozens of people, it didn't look crowded.

Bai Su's eyes swept across the counter slowly, and pieces of jewelry placed on red silk and satin came into view.

Hairpins, hairpins, adornments, pendants, bracelets...there are so many styles that the viewers are dazzled, and the only thing they have in common is that they are expensive.

Just a jade hairpin of ordinary quality would cost more than a dozen strings, and a piece of good quality could even reach as many as hundreds of strings, which made Bai Su speechless.

No wonder, the status of ancient merchants has always been very low, and they were suppressed by the imperial court. Anyone who saw such huge profits would be jealous.

The shopkeeper in front of the counter smiled and looked at the customers who were picking things, with an amiable appearance.

A trace of surprise flashed in the phoenix eyes of Zheng Jie, and she picked up a jade hairpin with her slender white hands: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this hairpin?"

I saw that the material of this hairpin is ordinary, but the carving is extraordinarily delicate, like a work of art, the whole body is green, the pattern is exquisite, and the golden threads are inlaid in it, which looks extraordinarily exquisite.

Even the sister Zheng, who has always had a high eye, couldn't help but take a second look.

The storekeeper came over clapping his hands, and said with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, this lady, this hairpin is the treasure of our store, and it is not for sale."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes, and she gently put down the hairpin in her hand: "That's it."

But Bai Su glanced at the shopkeeper: "If you don't sell the things, what are you doing hanging them out? Are you playing tricks?"

The shopkeeper's eyelids trembled, and he said with a wry smile: "My lord, you have misunderstood. I have been operating this Pinge in the local area for decades. I have always paid attention to genuine products at a fair price, and never deceived people."

Bai Su pointed to the hairpin: "Then what do you mean?"

The shopkeeper explained: "Young Master, I don't know something. Since my grandfather's generation, my family has set a rule in business. The treasures of the town shop are never sold to others, and they are directly given to those who are destined."

Bai Su asked curiously, "Someone with predestined relationship?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "There is a riddle in my shop, if you can answer it, I don't charge a cent for the treasure of this shop, I will give it to you directly."

"My lord, don't underestimate this hairpin. It is a work carved by Master Ouyang, a well-known Zhao State sculptor in the past. It is worth more than [-] guan."

Hearing that the hairpin was worth eight hundred guan, the surrounding guests couldn't help but gasped.

This little hairpin is more than their family's harvest in most of their lives.

Even Sister Zheng couldn't help but glance at it in surprise. The hairpin in her hand, she just thought it looked a little pretty, but she didn't expect it to be carved by a famous master.

The shopkeeper looked at Bai Su with a smile: "I don't know this young man, but do you dare to guess this riddle?"

Seeing everyone looking at him one after another, Bai Su snorted softly: "A man cannot be moved by his wealth and power, and cannot be subdued by his might. Do you think that if you tell me the value of this thing, I will be tempted?"

The shopkeeper looked stunned: "The young master means..."

Bai Su said with a straight face: "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. I mainly like riddles. Go and get your stuff."

Shopkeeper: "..."

Everyone around was also speechless.

Sister Zheng couldn't laugh or cry in her heart.

Chapter 29 Green on the Head

The innkeeper rubbed his chin, coughed lightly, and said, "Since you are willing to try it, then I will show you the riddle."

After that, he took a piece of white cloth from the wall, and saw the words written on it.

Who goes on a long trip in business, the river rushes to disappear, thousands of firewood burns out, hundreds of boats compete for the boat to sink, guess a word.

There were quite a few people watching the excitement around, and they all poked their heads curiously, and after seeing this question, they all looked dull.

What the hell is this Nima?

Many people frowned and thought about it, but they didn't have a clue for a long time, so they shook their heads helplessly.

Some well-dressed young girls looked at the hairpin regretfully, obviously they had no chance with this thing.

Seeing everyone's reaction, the shopkeeper felt proud. This problem has been hanging in the shop for several years. I don't know how many people came to try it, but they have never been able to solve it, and today must be no exception.

He smiled and looked at Bai Su in front of him: "I wonder if this young master has the answer in his heart?"
