Chapter 76 Duck Tongue Soup

Generally speaking, hairbrush is often punished as an additional punishment for exile.

It is not only a punishment, but also a means to distinguish ordinary people. This is not done in one go, but it will run through the entire period of punishment.

That is, during the entire period of incarnation, as long as the hair is slightly longer, it will be worn.

Among the main punishments that were slightly lighter than the death penalty in the Ming Dynasty, one of the consecrated troops was to be sent to the border to serve as soldiers to guard the border.

Most of the people who were exiled to the army were not good, and if they could survive in such a difficult situation, it would be even more unprovoked.

In the future, if it is equivalent to a person who has been released from prison, it is naturally an existence that ordinary people dare not provoke easily.

A little bit about these tricks is known. Zhou Qinchuan's hair is obviously the length of his hair that has just grown shortly after he grows. So I don't ask who the other party is.

Therefore, when he was lying on the ground and struggling to breathe, he saw Zhou Qinchuan's hairstyle clearly, and the gangster stopped thinking of revenge and regretted how he had messed with such a bad star.

No matter whether the other party escaped or was released from hard labor, the gangster thought he could not afford to offend him, so he didn't even care about his face when he ran away and didn't even dare to say harsh words.

Didn't you see the other party still carrying a knife on his back? In anger, blood splattered five steps. In the end, the one who was unlucky was me. But I still wanted to live a few more years, from touching one or two to touching one or two to touch one or eighteen.

Even ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty may not know the above, and Zhou Qinchuan naturally didn't know it. He had inexplicably become a release prisoner in the hearts of the gangster.

After driving away all the people who were on the gossip, Zhou Qinchuan walked to the shopkeeper and bowed his hand:

"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, we are not people who are dependent on the debt. Please make some convenience. Once you use the expensive land, I will settle the debt."

This shopkeeper is quite reliable. Although he claimed to take Su Yourong to meet the official, Zhou Qinchuan saw the behavior that he asked someone to come forward to stop him when he was talking nonsense just now.

The other party was not that arrogant and arrogant attitude, so Zhou Qinchuan would naturally treat him politely.

The shopkeeper of Tianxiang Pavilion nodded without saying much, reached out and left first.

Zhou Qinchuan followed, and Su Yourong was behind him. There was Xiao Ji who saw that there was no conflict and didn't know where to get out of it.

Several people followed the shopkeeper into Tianxiang Pavilion. Zhou Qinchuan first found a secluded place to take out the hidden silver, then asked the shopkeeper for scissors, and divided the silver into two. The five taels that accounted for the big one returned to Tianxiang Pavilion.

If you pay so much money outside, wouldn’t you be advertising to let pickpockets steal themselves?

Besides, no one can take out exactly how much money they want. They have to use scissors to divide and weigh them. This is the fundamental reason why Zhou Qinchuan wants to go back to the restaurant to settle the bill.

Zhou Qinchuan was so heartbroken that he was so sad that he remembered Su Yourong said that he and Xiao Ji ordered a dish, and all of them were prepared and included in the meal.

This dish is so expensive that it cannot be wasted. Zhou Qinchuan then asked the restaurant staff to bring the food box. He picked it up and took it out without looking back.

"Brother Zhou, I thanked you. Don't worry, I won't be able to pay the debt for five taels of silver."

Seeing that the bill had been settled, Su Yourong felt his heart had fallen to the ground and finally there was no need to meet the official.

As for how to pay the five taels of silver, she thought about it. There were still a few expensive clothes in the package, made of silk, and she didn't want them all, and used them all for money.

If it is not enough, even if you use a few pieces of jewelry you wear with you, you have to pay back the money. This stupid man is so righteous, he cannot speak without trust.

When I went out, I didn't expect to escape. I didn't collect much gold, silver and fines, otherwise I wouldn't have been so tight.

But what should we do in the future?

Su Yourong was a little worried. She was gone, how to settle down and the travel expenses to the north needed to be solved urgently. If she lost money, would this stupid guy still protect herself?

Alas, it’s all my fault. I didn’t learn all my skills. In business, I can only rely on honestly closing low prices and selling at high prices to make the difference. Unless I’m lucky, I can only get to the top in one step.

Otherwise, it would be fine to copy a famous calligraphy and painting and exchange it for hundreds of taels of silver. Anyway, it would not take any longer to stay here, so nothing would happen.

Su Yourong followed Zhou Qinchuan with her careful thoughts all the way.

Xiao Ji stared at the food box, swallowed some saliva from time to time, hoping to start eating immediately.

When they returned to the inn, the three of them entered Zhou Qinchuan and Xiaoji's room together and lined up the food boxes.

At this time, Zhou Qinchuan was already hungry, so he took a bowl of soup nearby, drank half of it, and then asked:

"Miss Su, let's talk about what kind of dishes you ordered, it costs five taels of silver?"

Su Yourong pointed to the bowl in his hand timidly:

"Brother Zhou, the most expensive thing is the one you drink. One bowl costs one or five cents of silver, three bowls cost a total of four or five cents. Tianxiang Pavilion even gave a small price, only four cents of us."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qinchuan's soup was so sluggish that he could not spit it out, and he swallowed it back.

"How precious is this?"

After smashing my mouth a few times, Zhou Qinchuan still didn't understand it. It was just fine, tender, and not meaty things, which were a bit chewy, but a small piece was too small, which was not enough to eat at all. Fortunately, the quantity was quite large, so it was considered a bit chewy.

Xiao Ji has never had any idea about silver and money, but he is very sensitive to food. At this moment, he also poured half a bowl of soup into his stomach. He smashed it, and said:

"Sister Yourong, this is just a duck tongue."

"Yes, Xiao Ji is quite awesome."

Su Yourong sincerely praised that through the past few days of getting along, she could be sure that the two brothers were not much better. Xiao Ji could know the ingredients after taking a few sips, which could only be said to be of extraordinary talent.

Like his brother, the silly man didn't taste it. He smacked his mouth a few times, and hesitated to ask:

"Is this a duck tongue? How can a duck tongue be so expensive?"

That's right, Zhou Qinchuan did not eat the duck tongue in the bowl. Compared with the duck tongue in hot pot in later generations, it was not only chewy, but also tasted differently, and it was much smaller, so I was not sure.

Besides, how expensive is this duck tongue? Three bowls of soup cost four taels of silver. Could this little girl be slapped by someone?

However, after Su Yourong finished interpreting it to the two of them, Zhou Qinchuan realized that he was really a frog in the well and underestimated the luxury trend that began to arise in the ancients, especially the Ming Dynasty after the prosperity of Renxuan.

The soup is called duck tongue soup. It’s simple, but the method is never simple.

The one I took was the sharpest and tenderest place on the front of the duck tongue. Compared with the duck tongue used to cook hot pot in later generations, it became a silly big black and thick black.
