Chapter 167 Sweetness

  Seeing that the beautiful woman cared about him so much, Feng Yong felt a little agitated, and was about to do something.

  Unexpectedly, Guan Ji had learned the lesson before, seeing the expression of this guy in front of her, she knew that he was uneasy and kind, so she looked at him vigilantly and said, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

   Seeing Guan Ji's preparedness as if she was approaching a formidable enemy, Feng Yong had no choice but to stop thinking, pretending to be at a loss, and said: "What are you doing? I didn't do anything."

  Guan Ji glanced at Feng Yong a few times, thinking maybe I was too careful?

   "Then what happened to brother just now?"

   "Oh, I just suddenly remembered someone, so I'm a little excited. Let's talk about it together when Erlang comes over."

Zhao Guang lived not far from Feng Yong, and when he heard Ah Mei's message, he immediately said "Ouch", thinking that it was because sister knew that her elder brother took Ah Mei into the house, so she felt sorry for him. Brother fights? Is this worth it?

  Besides, although my elder brother knows how to fight, he is not practicing martial arts since he was a child. Even if it's me, I can't stand my sister's ruthless attack! Thinking about it this way, my heart became more and more anxious, and I quickly put down the work in my hand and rushed over.

  Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the door, he was not as restless as he imagined. Instead, he saw his brother and sister sitting next to the desk, their behavior was a bit ambiguous.

   This immediately made Zhao Guang a little confused: when did my sister become so virtuous, she was not even angry when she learned that her brother took Ah Mei into the room?

  Looking at Feng Yong again, I couldn't help admiring him even more: my brother's vision is really accurate. I've heard him say it before, although my sister looks cold, but if she wins her heart, she might turn into soft fingers.

  Although I don't know what allusion Ruo Zhirou came from, but as the name suggests, sister is probably not far away from Ruo Zhirou in front of her brother at this time.

   Before he could think about it, the two people in the room saw Zhao Guang at the same time.

   "Erlang is here, come in and sit down."

  Feng Yong stood up and greeted him.

   "Little brother heard... Amei said that brother is in a hurry, so I thought something happened."

  Zhao Guang came into the room, and when he said the word Amei, he glanced at Guan Ji, and seeing that sister's expression remained unchanged, he couldn't help being amazed.

   "Oh, this matter is urgent, but it won't be done in a short while, so it's not urgent, and it's not urgent."

   "Oh, it's not the elder brother calling the younger brother to come, what's the matter?"

   Zhao Guang asked curiously.

   "Erlang sit down for now, let me talk to you slowly."

  Feng Yong asked Zhao Guang to sit down, and he naturally returned to his original position.

  Unexpectedly, Guan Ji coughed lightly, and glanced at Feng Yong covertly. This position is very close to her. It would be okay if there were only two of them, but now that Erlang is here, how can this guy have the nerve to sit here?

  Feng Yong acted as if he didn't see Guan Ji's wink, and sat down by himself, but just to prevent Guan Ji from being annoyed, he had to move the stool again.

  Guan Ji was still a little ashamed and annoyed. Although the distance was a bit farther than before, it was still limited, and it was obviously much closer than the normal distance.

He glanced at Zhao Guang again, and saw him sitting there, his eyes only looking at Feng Yong, but he didn't notice anything wrong with the two of them on his side, as if he didn't see anything, so Quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

   Taking advantage of Zhao Guang not paying attention, she kicked Feng Yong again to show her anger.

Feng Yong didn't care about it, he just frowned at Guan Ji where Zhao Guang couldn't see, then turned his head and said to Zhao Guang: "Erlang is going to Yang'an Pass, I want to ask Erlang to help me check one person."

   "The elder brother has entrusted him with the trust, so the younger brother is obliged to do so." Zhao Guang cupped his hands and said, "Why do you ask me not to invite you?"

   "Okay," Feng Yong nodded, and smiled apologetically, "It was my words that were inappropriate. That's it. After Erlang arrives at Yang'an Pass, help me check that Jiang Shu again."

   "Jiang Shu? Who is that?"

  Zhao Guang frowned. In his memory, there was no need to remember Jiang Shu, who was still a small person.

   Even Guan Ji was a little puzzled, thinking who is this Jiang Shu?

Looking at the expressions of the two, Feng Yong felt a little helpless. You two second-generation officials are really qualified. After all, they ran errands for you in Yang'an Pass. How long has passed, I don't know. Who is the family.

   "Erlang must have forgotten that when I first arrived at Yang'an Pass, General Ma just went out to patrol the border, and left behind a young general who was just at his beck and call."

   "Oh, so it turns out that brother was talking about that young general." Zhao Guang was stunned, "I only remember this one person, but I never remembered his name."

   "The young general named Jiang Shu, what did he do to make my brother ask Erlang to check his background?"

  Guan Ji asked from the side, thinking at the same time that what I told my brother just now wasn't Fu Qian? Why did my brother suddenly think of Jiang Shulai? Is there any connection between these two?

   "Can't tell yet."

Feng Yong shook his head, and then looked at Zhao Guang, "Erlang is going, we must find out the details of this person, his character, hobbies, how many people are in the family, how many acres of land, how many cows , even the relatives who haven’t given the fifth service had better be investigated.”

  Zhao Guang began to listen, but he didn't pay attention at first, but he didn't know that his elder brother even wanted to find out the relatives of that person who hadn't given the fifth service. This tone sounds like a big deal.

   "Brother, what's wrong with this person?"

  Not only Zhao Guang, but even Guan Ji looked at Feng Yong in astonishment.

  Seeing that Feng Yong's expression was slightly gloomy, he was even more astonished.

  Investigate relatives in Wufu, brother, what do you want to do?

   "Before I arrived at Yang'an Pass, I had never seen this person before. How can there be such a big festival?"

  Feng Yong shook his head and smiled, "Erlang just go and investigate first, I haven't thought about how to do it yet."

  Brother's expression doesn't look like he has no holidays.

  Zhao Guang thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, he just nodded in response: "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely find out the details of this person when I go here."

   At the same time, he secretly said, this person seems to be about the same age as himself and others, and he doesn't seem to have done a lot of evil. Could it be that his elder offended his elder brother's teacher, and now he is recognized by his elder brother?

  But the elder brother's business is his own business. Besides, Jiang Shu has no relationship with him. Even if the elder brother wants to do something, as a younger brother, I can only help the elder brother.

"That's it. Erlang has worked hard. And Sanniang, traveling all the way is even harder. If there is nothing else, I will ask Amei to prepare some food. One is to see Erlang off, and the other is to welcome Sanniang. "

After Zhao Guang heard this, he quickly salivated and said, "Brother asked Mrs. Amei to cook more. I don't know when I'll be back after I go. I'm used to eating at my brother's house. I really feel that I'm going to eat something else." It's unpalatable. Sister, do you think so?"

  Zhao Guang just talked about Amei, and seeing that Amei didn't respond, he was relieved. This time, he casually said "Ms. Amei" subconsciously.

  Unexpectedly, Guan Ji snorted, and thought to herself that you called her "Miss Amei", which was very easy to pronounce. It seems that you have already regarded her as your brother's roommate, and she is really not my brother!

   "The food in brother's house is naturally delicious, but if you want to talk about delicious food, there are still many in this world."

  Guan Ji disagreed with Zhao Guang's statement, glanced at Zhao Guang, and said calmly.

  Zhao Guang choked, and thought, that's what I said, sister, why are you targeting me so much?

  Guan Ji didn't explain, picked up the package immediately, and took out something carefully wrapped in linen from inside. After unpacking, there was a round-bellied bottle with a big mouth inside, and the bottle was tightly sealed.

  Guan Ji carefully pried open the bottle, and then said: "Brother, please ask someone to bring two bowls and spoons."

  Feng Yong watched Guan Ji take out the bottle like a treasure, and was very curious about what was inside. Hearing what Guan Ji said, she immediately called Amei to get it.

   After Ah Mei brought it, Guan Ji carefully dug out the gray-brown viscous liquid from the bottle, and put some into two bowls each.

  Just as he was about to reseal the bottle, he thought about it, and put an extra serving in one of the bowls, then moved the more bowl to Feng Yong, and handed the remaining one to Zhao Guang.

   "Try it." Guan Ji's expression was extremely smug, "Let's see if anyone knows what it is?"

  Feng Yong looked at the gray viscous liquid in the bowl and felt that he really had no appetite, so he glanced at Guan Ji suspiciously.

   "Brother, don't look at this ugly thing, but it's rare and delicious."

   "It's so sweet!" Zhao Guangke couldn't control that much. As soon as he got the bowl in his hand, he took a bite, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Sister is right, this food is really delicious!"

There wasn't much in the bowl, Zhao Guang ate it in three or two mouthfuls while he was talking, smashed his mouth, looked at Guan Ji, and smiled flatteringly: "Sister, can you give me another one? I just ate it. It's coming soon, I haven't tasted it yet."

   "No!" Guan Ji glared at Zhao Guang, and carefully wrapped the bottle again, "This is a local product from Soochow. I finally begged my aunt to get it."

   "Sweet?" Hearing Zhao Guang's words, Feng Yong thought to himself that this inferior poisonous thing is actually sweet? I have never heard of any desserts in this era! Maltose is not like this, is it?

  I mustered up the courage to take a sip, and it was really sweet in the mouth, and it was extremely sweet.

  Take another sip, and this time I can feel it. After the sweetness, there will be a little astringency in the mouth, and there will be some fine scum at the same time.

   It just tastes a little familiar?

  Sweetness can make people happy. More importantly, sweetness is an extremely rare taste in this era. Even the rich and powerful people may not be able to taste it many times throughout the year.

  The reason why Feng Yong took so much trouble to make ice cream is very simple. Maltose is too hard to find, or sweetness is too hard to find.

If it weren't for the second-generation official like Zhao Guang, Feng Yong couldn't find anything sweet at all, so he made a few times to coax the little loli Zhang Xing, and after increasing Huang Yueying's favorability by the way, Feng Yong directly Just sent out how to do this thing-can't do it!

   Later, the facts also proved that if you want to use sweet flavored ice cream, even the rich and powerful families may not be able to make it, so some of them are occasionally circulated in the palace.

To be honest, I am used to eating all kinds of artificial desserts in the later generations, and the slightly astringent sweets in the bowl really can't enter Feng Yong's mouth. I haven't tasted sweets for a long time. He tasted them twice and got addicted. , no longer eat.

   "San Niang, what exactly is this?"

  Feng Yong put down the bowl and looked at Guan Ji.

   "Stone honey."

Seeing Feng Yongqian tasted it and stopped eating, Guan Ji was a little surprised. It was the first time she ate such sweets, and she couldn't help but want to eat more. She never thought that her brother could not only control her desire to speak, Even looking at that expression, it seems that he didn't pay attention to it, which is really rare.

   "Brother, why don't you eat more? Could it be that you don't like sweets?"

"Unappetizing."

  Feng Yong shook his head with a calm expression.

   "Why is it not delicious?" Zhao Guang almost jumped up, "My brother thinks it is not delicious, how about giving it to my younger brother?"

   "Take it."

  Feng Yong pushed the bowl, signaling that he didn't want to eat any more.

   "Thank you, brother."

   Zhao Guang unceremoniously came over and took away the bowl.

   "What is this stone honey made of?" Feng Yong frowned slightly, "Why have I never heard of this thing?"

   "This product is a tribute, and it is only produced in the Jiaozhou area. In the past, only people in the royal family could eat it occasionally. How do ordinary people know?"

  Guan Ji felt that it was normal for Feng Yong not to know about it, and most of the people in the court didn't know about it. If it wasn't for her aunt who was born in a wealthy family in Jingzhou and happened to have seen it, she might be laughed at by Soochow this time.

After speaking, Guan Ji took out a few short sticks from the package and put them on the table, picked up one of them, shook it, and said with a smile, "This is what Shi Mi is made of. Can you recognize it, brother?" "

  Feng Yong felt a little funny when he saw Guan Ji take out the stick from the bag, thinking that she is really a martial artist, other people put clothes in the bag, she puts the stick in the bag, and what can such a short stick do?

  Unexpectedly, when I looked closely, I was taken aback. I couldn't wait to pick up one, looked at it over and over for a while, and then said in disbelief: "Sugar cane?!"

  Guan Ji originally thought that her elder brother must not know about this thing, but she heard the word sugarcane from Feng Yong's mouth, and her eyes widened immediately: "Elder brother also knows about this thing?"

   "How can I not know? Little..."

  Feng Yong only looked at the sugarcane in his hand, and almost missed something, but fortunately he stopped in time.

  What I liked most when I was a child was when the sugarcane began to taste sweet. The sugarcane forests in the village were greener than the green gauze tents. Not to mention people, even big animals get in. As long as there is no big movement, nothing can be seen from the outside.

   For children who lack snacks, this time is the happiest time.

   is the child who doesn’t like to do farm work the least. As long as he hears that he is going to work in the sugarcane field, he especially likes it.

  Whether it is peeling sugarcane leaves or weeding, the eyes will carefully look at each sugarcane, as long as it has insect eyes or has fallen to the ground, it can be broken openly and eaten.

   One bite, the sweet juice filled the mouth, and it felt like the most delicious thing in the world.

  Sometimes I really can’t find a suitable excuse, so I sneakily push one on the ground while the adults are not paying attention, and dare not let it break, because the sugarcane will make a crisp sound when it breaks.

  When the sun is about to set, adults carry sugarcane leaves on their shoulders, and there are often two or three sugarcane leaves stuffed in the sugarcane leaves.

The children following behind had tiny red wounds cut by sugarcane leaves on their hands and arms, but they didn't care, instead they would happily hold a sugarcane, and they were unwilling to put it in the sugarcane leaves Adults are responsible.

   "Good stuff!"

  Feng Yong held the sugar cane and giggled, and when Zhao Guang and Guan Ji were stunned, he gave a "click" and bit it down...
