Chapter 78 Eight Surnames

Back to the wine shop, this place is called Lingyulou, which is the industry of Mingyushan. It was acquired from the original owner last year and expanded and transformed. It combines the aesthetics of the times and some minor changes in later generations. The overall feeling is elegant and brisk. During the walk, you can see the vast desert through the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, so it became the favorite place for Wuxian officials and nobles to go to in just half a year.

It was too late, and Lingyu Tower closed down. Xu You ordered the kitchen to make a few exquisite side dishes, Qianli water shield soup, fine jade jumping ball roast, steamed cherry fish, Qibao camel hoof, white honey marrow cake, etc., including meat and vegetable, southern and northern dishes, and with the green sparrow tongue, it was really a feast.

Xiao Yao'er took two bites and stopped eating more. She had no appetite. Besides, she was in the top family and had eaten too many delicacies. The dishes here were of course top quality, but nothing strange. The girl tasted the water shield soup curiously. She first put the spoon in her mouth, and her eyes suddenly lit up. Then she held the bowl and sucked it slowly, and suddenly asked, "What kind of soup is this?"

Walking together, the girl never took the initiative to talk to Xu You except for chatting with Xiao Yao'er for a few days, and she didn't expect to open a golden mouth for the sake of delicious food.

Foodie attributes?

Xu You smiled and said, "This is the most famous water shield in Jiangdong. However, it has been picked from the leaves in October and stored until now. It is not delicious. By April next year, we will take the pheasant tail water shield with raw stems but not growing leaves and use fish sashimi to make soup, which will make the taste even more beautiful..."

The celadon bowl fired from the Junshan Kiln in Jingxi is as delicate as brocade woven with clouds, reflecting the girl's slightly pursed lips, and the coolness brings a bit of the bright redness of the plum blossoms when they bloom. Her hair is simple and casually combed behind her head, and her tight military uniform outlines a nearly perfect shape. Xu You rarely sees girls in this life holding the bowl in both hands to eat, but it should be considered a vulgar behavior, but her natural expression interprets a rhythm that conforms to the Tao.

"Oh, it turns out that this is water shield, not as unbearable as they said..."

The girl murmured, and added a bowl of water shield soup on her own, not caring about Xiao Yaoer and Xu You's attention. Xiao Yaoer felt strange. Water shield soup was not a noble food. Of course, it would take some time and cost to eat it in this season. However, during the six-month picking period, even ordinary people can try it out. Moreover, the girl in front of her is not like an ordinary person without money and power. Although Xiao Yaoer has not been included in the product, she has been practicing martial arts for many years. She knows that ordinary people will never reach the level of a girl at this age. It is said that poor literature and martial arts are rich, but in an era when paper, pen and ink, and books are not popular, no matter how much money is, it is absolutely impossible to learn literature and martial arts.

Xu You quietly recommended, enthusiastically: "Don't just eat water shield soup. Try the seven treasure camel hoofs. Although it is a dish from the north, even the royal family of the Northern Dynasties did not often eat it, let alone Jiangdong - where to find camels? Just Lingyulou, who transported fresh camel hoofs from the Western Regions without any money, and Chu Zi's unique cooking method, became the seven treasure camel hoofs. Ha, according to Chu Zizi, he used the seven methods of sauce created by Cao Zijian, terrible, drunk, steamed, boiled, boiled, and filtered, and then accompanied by seven secret spices, which took seven hours to be released. We rushed tonight and enjoyed the camel hoofs booked by other guests..."

The girl glanced at the plate and said lightly: "The fur is scalded by boiling water, removes the nails, removes dirt and peels, marinates it with salt for a night, then boils it to remove the saltiness, and stew it with various spicy ingredients into a thick and thick shape. It is extremely simple. Everyone in the Northern Dynasty can do it. Where did Cao Zi Jian's secret method come from? You know nothing about food, and you are fooled by others, and you are still showing off your complacent performance. Are you ashamed?"

Xu You was not afraid of her sarcasm, but was afraid that she would not respond. He immediately said with a bitter face: "I gave Chef Mo a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, but I didn't expect it to be a liar. Thanks to the girl's knowledge, otherwise when would she cheat him? Let's show sincerity, when the girl returns to the Northern Dynasties, I personally send three kilograms of pheasant tail watermelon as a thank-you gift!"

The girl held the bowl and drank the soup in small sips, saying, "You don't have to say anything to test. Who am I? It has nothing to do with you. As long as you are really a merchant, there will be no danger. Although you are the only merchant I have ever seen with a young master as a entourage, we must have a great origin, but we will not be enemies..."

With this woman's height and eating habits, she looked like a person who had been smuggled from the Northern Wei Dynasty, but she was so smart, why didn't she hide these flaws? At this time, she knew that Xu You was speechless, but she was fearless. Either the backer behind her was stronger than Mount Tai, or she proudly regarded the heroes of the world as nothing.

So Xu You was a little confused and said, "Qingming was just lucky enough to enter the fifth grade. Compared with the girl, it was like a firefly to the moonlight. But how could the girl practice this earth-shaking cultivation at such a young age?"

The girl generously drank the last drop of soup, put down the celadon bowl, and finally looked at Xu You. The lights swayed, and her eyes seemed to be in the bright pool of light, with a bit of noble temperament that could be seen from afar and not played with. She shook her head and said, "It's earth-shaking? I just entered the mountain gate, learning to walk and crawling forward, which is no different from your entourage."

This is the truth, not humility. The more you know, the more awe he is. The realm is here. Xu You saw that she was in a good mood. Perhaps because she had just eaten water shield soup, he simply asked: "I don't understand martial arts, but seeing the girl taking action, the fifty-stringed sesame is invincible, and it is difficult for non-family families to practice..."

The girl sighed and said, "Is it that important to you?"

Xu You coughed twice and said, "I'm just curious. After all, it's really rare for a female master. Look at us in the same boat to fight against the enemy, and sit and drink with each other. In the future, we brag about how powerful a female master was. If we don't even know the name, if someone asks me, wouldn't it hurt to look ashamed?"

A smile appeared on the corner of the girl's lips and said, "Well, you are a merchant, and your words are more profitable than swords and guns. If I don't say it, I'm afraid you will be noisy all day long. Listen carefully, I'm from Baima County, Liangzhou, and my surname is Mu's name. The Mu family is a prominent family in Baima County. If you have any doubts, I'll tell you."

Xu You thought to himself that you must ask for it, but you are not in a hurry. He left the seat and bowed, saying, "It turns out that it is Ms. Mu, who is polite."

Mulan sat upright and received a courtesy from Xu You, frowned and said, "The prosperity of Jiangdong is everywhere, but why has it been powerless to look north for more than a hundred years, allowing Wei to occupy most of the Han people? Because men are lacking in strength and daughters love colors, they are always entangled in red tape, think they are gentlemen, indulging in debauchery every day, and think they are romantic. You are a merchant, dressed in white, and you want to learn from the false frame of the gentry. You can see through the leopard that the entire Chu has rotted to its roots and is not far from overturning!"

Xu You didn't expect that just bowing, the Great Chu country made the country unstable. He was amused in his heart. He thought Mulan was an iceberg from the North Pole, but in fact, under the iceberg, it was not so unkind.

Liangzhou is located on the northwest border and borders Xiliang. Baima County is located in the northernmost part of Liangzhou, facing the Wei River in the north and Mianshui in the south. It is brave and fierce, and the people are strong. It is the county with the most recruitment of troops in the Liang and Qin prefectures. It is not surprising that Mulan has such a height, but if he has such cultivation, if it is not for the trick behind it, it can only be said to be of extraordinary talent.

"What the girl taught is that the Chu people are in a corner and do not want to make progress. If this continues, the country will not be a country. Fortunately, I am just a businessman who values ​​profit and neglects righteousness. Whoever sits in the world has to rely on merchants to operate and reproduce, and you don't have to worry about having no money to make money!"

Mulan sneered, completely losing interest in talking to Xu You, and stood up and said to Xiao Yaoer, "Are you full? Let's go and rest!"

Xiao Yaoer didn't know why Xu You had not yet identified his identity, which made Mulan so disgusted and contemptuous. She wanted to reconcile, but she couldn't find a suitable way. She could only look at Xu You apologetically and follow Mulan to the arranged room.

Xu You smiled and watched the two girls leave, leisurely poured a cup of green sparrow tongue, the green brown color rippled slightly, and the eyes presented in the cup were as calm as ice and snow that had accumulated for millions of years.

Qingming walked over from outside the door, stood behind Xu You, and said, "Mu, it's Hu!"

After the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Xianbei royal family changed their Han surnames. The Han surnames they changed were based on those pronunciations that were close to the original Xianbei surname. Therefore, the Tuoba tribe was used as the first surname and changed the surname to Yuan.

There are eight major surnames below the Yuan royal family. The first one is the Qiu Muling clan, which changed its surname to Mu; the second one is the Buliugu clan, which changed its surname to Lu; the third one is the Helan clan, which changed its surname to He; the fourth one is the Dugu clan, which changed its surname to Liu; the fifth one is the Helo clan, which changed its surname to Lou; the sixth one is Wan Qiyu clan, which changed its surname to Yu; the seventh one is the Hexi clan, which changed its surname to Ji; the eighth one is the Yuchi clan, which changed its surname to Han clan and Yuchi.

Mu is the leader of the eight major surnames of the Northern Wei Dynasty. If there were no famous generals of the Mu family, the Yuan family would have to be postponed at least twenty years if they unified the north!

"It's not surprising that Baima County borders Hu territory, and there may be a Mu family in the Han surname!"

Qingming turned his head and looked at the direction where Mulan disappeared and said, "She never concealed her, and she didn't even bother to disguise her. Langjun, this third-grade young master named Mulan is Suolu!"

Xu You picked up the teacup, drank it all, and smiled and said, "Suolu is also a human being, not a monster with three heads and six arms, don't change your expression when you hear it. Remember, this is Jiangdong, and the dragon crossing the river can't beat the local snake!"
