Chapter 147 Divine Dream Grass
Chapter 147 Divine Dream Grass
Yan Ruyu pinched the forage, always feeling that something was wrong.
The stall owner took the money after making the business, and was willing to say a few more words: "This is not high-quality forage. If my horse had something to eat, he wouldn't eat this.
However, this kind of grass cannot be said to be bad. It can be eaten even if you are hungry and cannot buy anything else in a short time. "
Yan Ruyu was thoughtful, and the stall owner said enthusiastically: "Well, that's where they sell fodder. I'll give you two bundles first, as this pony is used to eating them. Then go over there and see if there's anything you want to buy. "
"Thank you."
"What?" Huo Changhe asked.
"Go and have a look."
Huo Changhe wanted to take off his body and put it on the carriage, but Huo Changheng refused: "This horse is still so small and cannot carry so many things. Big brother, you are strong, so you should hold it first and let him rest." "
Huo Changhe: "..."
This time, not only was it not unloaded, there were two more bundles of fodder.
Yan Ruyu laughed out loud.
When she smiled, Huo Changhe lost all his temper.
Arriving at the stall selling forage, Yan Ruyu held the few straws and asked, "Do you have this?"
"Hey, girl," the stall owner looked carefully, "What a coincidence, someone just bought it. You have such a beautiful little pony, why don't you buy something else? I have better ones here."
"Is this bad? How can it be sold so quickly if it's not good?"
"It's cheap," the stall owner didn't hide it. "Although the output of this kind of fodder is not large, there are fewer people buying it, so the price is not high. I saved for two days, and just now everyone bought it. "
"Does he come here often?" Yan Ruyu asked seemingly unintentionally.
"Every once in a while, it's basically been like this for the past month."
Yan Ruyu asked again: "Does he have many horses?"
"I don't know, this person is not easy to talk to and has a very strict mouth." The stall owner smiled.
Yan Ruyu didn't ask any more questions, picked out a few bundles, wrote the address to the stall owner, and asked him to help deliver them later, and the stall owner readily agreed.
Just as she was about to leave, the stall owner stopped her again: "Girl, I still have half a bundle of the kind you asked for just now. It's a free gift. I'll send it to you later."
"Thank you."
After buying almost everything, including the little pony, Huo Changheng and Huo Qinxiang's thoughts were all focused on the pony, and they had no intention of shopping elsewhere, so they walked back.
Yan Ruyu held two straws, and Huo Changhe asked, "But what's wrong?"
"I haven't seen anything wrong with the forage yet, but when that person just... passed by me, I smelled something on him."
"What is the taste?"
"The smell of incense," Yan Ruyu said, "is the kind of incense used in temples or Taoist temples, but the quality is not particularly good, at best it is average."
Huo Changhe thought for a while: "There is indeed a temple here. It is what I told you before. It is now called Wenquxing Temple."
"Then the question is, what does a temple need so much fodder for? It only needs this kind of food."
"Is it possible that I want to give it to the scholars who come to burn incense and worship Buddha? Others are too expensive and they are reluctant to part with it. This kind of fodder is cheap. Give it to them as alms. Those who come by horseback or carriage can get something."
Yan Ruyu thought about it, this was not impossible.
"However," Huo Changhe added, "the stall owner said just now that he had started buying them in the past month."
The two people's eyes collided and they understood each other.
The people in the temple could not have predicted that there would be such a grand event and so many people would come - unless this grand event was related to them.
When she returned to her residence, Yan Ruyu handed the things to the eldest lady for safekeeping.
Not long after, the purchased fodder was also delivered, and Huo Changheng took it personally. Together with Huo Qinxiang, they surrounded the foal and were extremely happy.
Yan Ruyu looked at the sky and waited patiently.
There will be a rain in the next two days, and she vaguely feels that most of these people's actions will be related to the rain.
At noon, Yintuo came back from outside, carrying a few oil paper bags in his hand, and started preparing lunch excitedly.
Yan Ruyu was talking to the eldest lady in the room. She bought some fabric this time and the eldest lady was going to make clothes.
Now that there is a carriage, she doesn't have to walk, so she can do needlework. She has nothing to offer, so she can only express her love for Yan Ruyu in this way.
The two were talking when they suddenly smelled a scent.
As soon as Yan Ruyu opened the window, she heard Huo Changheng say: "Oh, brother Tuo, what you are burning is the fodder you just bought!"
Yintuo looked confused: "Forage? I thought it was firewood, so I took a small handful."
Yan Ruyu walked out quickly, Yintuo was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I don't know, I've never seen this kind of fodder."
He has been at the border for a long time, or in the palace, and he always has the best military horses, and naturally he uses the best fodder and horse feed.
I really haven't seen this before.
Yan Ruyu didn't say anything. She picked up a handful of the leftovers and moved closer, the aroma became stronger.
Just as he was thinking about it, Huo Zhongmao also came back and said in surprise: "Hey, where did the dream grass come from?"
Yan Ruyu's heart moved slightly: "Do you recognize it?"
Huo Zhongmao took two plants and observed them carefully: "Yes, to be honest, young lady, I used to be in the spice business, so I recognize most of the spices. This is the dream grass, which is rarely seen in ordinary times. , where did it come from?”
"Do you know spices?" Yan Ruyu was surprised. This was an unexpected surprise.
"Know something," Huo Zhongmao nodded, "If you have anything to do with spices, young lady, just ask."
Yan Ruyu likes it, and studies most of it by herself, using mostly modern methods. Some ancient prescriptions are studied by herself by reading ancient books, but many of them are not right.
Unexpectedly, Huo Zhongmao would understand.
"Come in and talk."
She and Huo Zhongmao entered the room. Huo Zhongmao put down his things and asked her to take a seat.
“I used to run a spice shop, and my family has always been doing this, starting from my grandfather’s generation, and I also have some incense recipes that have been passed down.
Before, it was in my hometown, but later I moved to the capital because of the prince. It was also thanks to the prince that I was able to successfully open a shop in the capital. "
Yan Ruyu nodded slightly: "This divine dream grass, please introduce it in detail."
"This thing, as the name suggests, to put it bluntly, if someone is willing to add other spices to it, most of it will be used to make incense."
Huo Zhongmao twisted a burned tree: "But it's not the ordinary kind. The incense that enchants people can make people not completely faint, but their consciousness is not very clear. They feel dizzy, as if they are dreaming. , after waking up, sometimes I can’t tell whether I was really dreaming or whether I was fainted.”
"What about other uses? Are there any?"
Yan Ruyu guessed that the person who bought so much was not just using it to charm people.
Besides, there are many ways to charm people, so why buy these to show off?
Huo Zhongmao smiled slightly: "Yes. However, this one is rarely used. It is not recorded in the incense books. I discovered it accidentally."
"What is it?"
