"Is it all right now? Has his memory been restored?" Su Nuannuan finally came to her senses and slowly circled around Long Pingzhang, muttering, "No, this is not scientific. How can his memory be restored so easily?"
"Then...then what else should we do?" Long Pingzhang licked his lips and asked with blinking eyes: "Do we...do we need to beat the gongs and drums? Tell everyone that I...I have recovered my memory? Haha, sister-in-law, don't joke around. If that happens, won't everyone think I'm crazy?"
"No, there's no need to beat drums or gongs, but... you still have to... bump into something, or get hit on the head with a stick... or just pass out from the pain... Anyway, you have to go through something to make your head suffer enough, so that you can be stimulated to recover your memory. That's what the book says."
Su Nuannuan touched her chin seriously, and Long Pingzhang broke out in a cold sweat. He smiled bitterly and said, "So my sister-in-law doesn't want me to be well, right? I'm unlucky enough to have survived a near-death experience, and even to restore my memory I have to risk my life like this. This... this is too cruel."
"Hahaha, don't worry about your sister-in-law. She reads those legendary novels every day and is deeply addicted." Duan Tingxuan hurriedly helped Su Nuannuan out, and then brought up the matter of the Eastern Pearl Clams. Sure enough, Long Pingzhang's attention was successfully diverted. He turned to Chu Xiu beside him and said, "That's great. Let someone smash all those Eastern Pearl Clams tomorrow and take out the Eastern Pearls inside. After returning to Beijing, I'll use them to make a phoenix crown for you for your marriage." Although the Eastern Pearls of the Dayin Dynasty were also very valuable, they were not contraband. That's why some people dared to steal the Eastern Pearl Clams and smuggle them.
After he finished speaking, Su Nuannuan said, "Why do we need others to help us get the pearls? It's nothing anyway. My sister Xiu'er and I will get them ourselves tomorrow. It's like picking mushrooms. It's addictive, especially when you touch the pearl in a big clam. The happiness and joy you feel is indescribable."
Seeing her so interested, Duan Tingxuan couldn't help but smile and said, "Since you like it so much, when we have time in the future, I will take you to the Wusuli River in the north and have someone catch thousands of pounds of clams for you to collect."
Su Nuannuan readily agreed. She smiled and said, "Okay. I'll go there when I have time. I really want to visit Sakhalin Island, Lake Baikal, and the Greater Khingan Range..." That was the land I longed for in my previous life, but unfortunately it is outside the country. She said silently in her heart.
After talking for a while, a cook brought over the cooked kelp. On a large plate, it was shredded kelp with a little white garlic on it. The cook said with a smile, "Sir, we followed the instructions of the Crown Prince's wife and cooked the kelp and cut it into thin strips, then mixed it with sesame oil and garlic. Please try it."
Cang Jian had a keen nose and could already sense an alluring smell going straight into his nose, but he didn't dare to eat it first. He hurriedly let Duan Tingxuan and Long Pingzhang say, "Master and Lord Long, please taste it first."
Duan Tingxuan was originally going to put on airs as a young marquis, but when he saw the delicious kelp, he felt his appetite grow. His true nature as a foodie was immediately exposed. He took the large plate and picked up a piece of kelp with chopsticks. Just as he was about to put it in his mouth, he suddenly thought of Su Nuannuan and hurriedly smiled and said, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for Madam, this thing wouldn't be as glorious as it is now. Madam should be the first to taste it."
This man is good to me, for letting me eat first at this time. Su Nuannuan sighed in her heart, turned to the cook and said, "Go get some bowls and share some with everyone." From the cook's smiling face and his admiring eyes, Su Nuannuan knew that this guy must have eaten first in the kitchen. But she was kind and didn't point it out.
After these words were spoken, Cang Jian was the first to lose patience. He strode to the table and took out a large tea tray. On the tray was a large white porcelain teapot and four white porcelain bowls. The rough man smiled and said, "I have never been good at being refined and tasting tea, but I am more comfortable drinking cold tea. This is the bowl I usually drink tea from. This is the one I often use. The rest are rarely used on weekdays. Come, Madam and Lord Long and Miss Chu can use these bowls."
The kelp was immediately distributed to the tea bowls. Faced with such a crude and crude style, even Su Nuannuan didn't know what to say. Fortunately, there were more than a dozen spare chopsticks under the food box, so several people squatted or sat and ate the cold kelp in the hall. They ate and praised it.
Finally, relying on kelp, fish and shrimp, Duan Tingxuan, Long Pingzhang, the anxiously awaited Tibetan commander, and the hungry victims finally received the relief grain from the court, which solved the urgent problem of this once-in-a-century flood.
By the way, let me mention the unfortunate Cangming Island. This time the flood disaster also affected the bandits' lair there, so all of them went out to grab the relief grain. However, they didn't expect that they would encounter a tough guy this time. Although the disaster relief envoy Wu Xiufeng was a civil servant, he had the hottest temper. How could this old man let it go after the relief grain was stolen? He gave an order to mobilize all the nearby military runners, took out the imperial sword, and gave a speech to the officers and soldiers with a dead face, saying that Cangming Island could not be taken, and if a grain of food was missing, his imperial sword would drink human blood.
This was a big mess. The local officials had heard about the past of this iron-faced censor, and knew that the officials in Beijing privately called this old man Wu Dabanzi. Whoever made a mistake would be punished by him. Who dared not try their best? So Cangming Island was in trouble. It was also because those pirates didn't know how to do things. If you said that half of the relief grain should be left, maybe Wu Dabanzi would be worried about the disaster and leave with half of the relief grain. At that time, with their network of relationships, it would be no problem to keep Cangming Island. But they were greedy and robbed all the relief grain. Wouldn't this cost Wu Xiufeng his life? They knew it was not easy for the court to collect these grains.
Therefore, under the supervision of Wu Dabanzi, who was equipped with the imperial sword, the pirates of Cangming Island were wiped out in less than six days and left the stage of history. So people should not be too greedy. Although the probability of being struck by lightning is not high, the probability of being struck by natural disasters and man-made disasters is still very high.
Finally, the disaster in southern Liaoning eased. God probably felt that the flood had caused too much damage to the people in southern Liaoning and had gone too far. So for more than half a month, the sun shone brightly in the sky every day, and the previously vast land soon became a scene of devastation.
With the relief food and money, people are very enthusiastic about rebuilding their homes. At least this time no one has to leave their homes to flee. For these simple people, this is a great fortune.
Duan Tingxuan and Long Pingzhang's mission was now complete, so the four of them set off for Niutou Mountain.
