Chapter 33 Yangmou
Jun Mo let the drug ghost shake his shoulders.
Neither stopped the other party, nor did he open his mouth to explain for the other party.
just smiled at the corner of his mouth, quietly looking at the drug ghost
After a while.
Yao Gui also slowly calmed down. When he saw Mo Jun's expression, he instantly understood that he was being tricked by this cunning little ghost in front of him.
But he knew it was the other party's bait, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to get in.
Because this is a conspiracy.
And it was an overt conspiracy that he could not refuse no matter what.
"Boy, set out your conditions! As long as you are willing to give me the method of cultivating elixir, I can promise you any conditions." The medicine ghost sighed.
"Master Yaogui was joking. How can such a secret technique be shown lightly to others?"
The medicine ghost was slightly silent.
He also understood that he was a little wishful thinking. After all, there is only one medicine ghost, and such a rare secret technique is a family heirloom that can be passed down for generations.
"What do you want?"
"Hehe~~ Master, don't be nervous, after all, I'm not a devil."
Mo Jun smiled lightly and said: "I just want to make a deal with the master. Now Mo Jun has only initially gained a foothold in Qin, so there is a lack of many patrons. If the master is willing to work for me, then during this period, Mo Jun You can help the master cultivate all the elixir you want for free."
"And in this way, the master is not violating the precepts of the ancestors, how?"
Yaogui's face darkened, and said: "Boy, you are really dark enough! This is to tie this old man to death by your side!"
Mr. Mo smiled slightly and said, "But it's fair, isn't it?"
Yao Gui didn't speak, it was a default.
Compared to the cruelty of this era, although Mo Jun was initially suspected of being a drug ghost, he had to say that the conditions he offered were indeed very fair.
This is like a contract worker in later generations, who is paid for a day's work.
"Speaking of which, since you are an aristocrat of the Qin State, don't you think that I will work for the King of Qin?"
Mo Jun smiled indifferently, and said: "I can't let the master go against the ancestral precepts! Can't I?... Of course, the matter of the prescription should be more troublesome, the master, after all, it is related to my credit. "
Yao Gui heard the words, took a deep look at Mo Jun, and didn't say anything more.
Just turned around and walked out of the backyard, and at the same time a voice came: "Boy, lend me some carriages, the old man needs to use them when he moves."
······
Three days later.
Yao Gui and his two apprentices officially settled in the Mo Mansion.
In order to welcome the addition of newcomers to the Mo House, Mo Jun immediately sent someone to buy two fat sheep and came back. At the same time, he cooked himself, made a few small stir-fries in a newly made iron pot, and held a grand banquet.
As soon as he heard that there was going to be a banquet again, Xiong Er was so excited that tears flowed down from the corner of his mouth.
"Huh? Kid, I didn't expect you to know how to cook?"
Yao Gui took a bite of the leek scrambled eggs fried by Mo Jun, and his eyes couldn't help showing surprise.
"And your skills are somewhat similar to the dishes cooked by a chef I met when I was traveling in Songhai, Qi State."
"This dish is stir-fried, which is really not very common nowadays."
Mr. Mo was not surprised by the fact that Yaogui had eaten stir-fried vegetables from other places.
Don’t say that this is not the Warring States in the official history. Even if it is the official history now, it doesn’t necessarily mean that no one has created iron pot cooking, maybe it’s just not popular.
Mr. Mo is very clear, never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, perhaps limited by the development of the times, the vision of the ancients is not as good as his own. But compared to those people who have left a great reputation in the long river of history, he is just an ordinary research dog.
Jun Mo glanced at the direction of his fingers, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This~~ I mean, is there a possibility that these two 'drug seeds' are originally vegetables?"
Medicine ghost: "······"
The two dishes Yaogui refers to are garlic-battered cucumber and sauce-battered eggplant. The origin of garlic, cucumber, and eggplant is not in the Central Plains, but near India in South Asia and West Asia.
Originally, these should have been introduced to the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty.
But before, Yaogui searched for herbs all over the world, traveled all the way west, and after crossing the barbarian land, he accidentally met a foreign merchant, and exchanged a lot of seeds in Southwest Asia from him.
Among them, these seeds are not easy to grow, and vegetables are similar to medicinal materials. They have certain requirements for factors such as environment, temperature, and sunshine.
That is to say, Mo Jun has the 'growth spiritual liquid' in his hand, otherwise, even if the medicine ghost planted it himself, it is estimated that at least half of the seeds in it would not be able to grow.
As for the miso used for sautéing eggplant with sauce, it is relatively simple, and Mo Jun does not need to make this stuff specially, it is everywhere in Qin.
Vegetables during the Warring States period were extremely scarce. The common vegetables were green vegetables, leeks, water spinach, scallions (jiao four tones), and wax gourds. The rest were mostly uncommon wild vegetables and mushrooms.
The taste is extremely bland.
In contrast, the meat category may be a little richer, after all, hunting is now allowed.
But unless it is high-quality meat, ordinary meat can’t suppress the fishy smell with simple cooking. In order to have a little taste in the mouth when eating, the old Qin people invented a variety of dipping sauces and soups.
In addition, in this era, various bean plants are also very rich, which just meets people's needs.
But having said that.
The taste of the final product is still hard to describe.
at this point.
From the fact that Yaogui, a master of medicine, now eats stir-fried vegetables and roasted whole lamb, and is also devouring it, we can get a glimpse of the real diet level of this era.
"You also cultivated this new seasoning using the 'drug seeds' from the old man?" The medicine ghost held a leg of lamb in one hand, and his eyes were quickly attracted by the pepper in the bowl, and asked.
"Exactly!"
"Hmph~~ I can tell, why are you interested in the way of planting, I think you have been doing it to satisfy your own appetite from the very beginning!"
Mr. Mo: "······"
Ah, this big truth really made him unable to refute it for a while.
······
The guests and hosts enjoy themselves at a banquet.
After eating and drinking enough, everyone will start to get down to business.
Mr. Mo first took out a mass-produced sample of the 'new knife-creating medicine' and handed it to the ghost ghost, and then took out the side drug prescription.
As for the production method of the core main medicine, this has already involved imperial secrets. Unless the medicine ghost is willing to be loyal to Qin, it is impossible to give him the production method of the main medicine.
Yaogui glanced at the side drug prescription first, then threw it aside casually, and said:
"What crap?"
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the drug sample, pinched it on his fingertips, took a little more and tasted it, and used some kind of special internal strength, as if he was perceiving its medicinal properties.
After a while.
The medicine ghost slowly opened his eyes, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"This medicine is quite interesting, especially the main medicine... boy, did you create this main medicine?"
"good!"
Mr. Mo nodded his head honestly.
Seeing Mo Jun's admission, Yao Gui's face gradually revealed a weird expression, and said: "I didn't expect that your medical skills are not very good, but there are quite a lot of strange things on your body."
