Chapter Five, Blood Prosperity.

Si Yue said, "No, it was the young master's order."

Master said: "Although the strength of the character written by the young master is still somewhat lacking, its elegance and grace have already formed a unique style. What is most rare is its refined and noble air. It should be used to try for the imperial examination, but it is a pity to use it to write prescriptions now..."

The inkstone is rough, the ink is average, but the brush is passable, and the paper is also a top-quality product from Yazhou.

Su You took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, took a bowl, and gently shook out some white crystals: "I'm picky about taste and can't eat that kind of salt. Fortunately, I brought some of my own to eat."

Unfamiliar with the moon, the cook quietly looked over and was shocked: "Young master, is this... salt?"

Su You said seriously: "Those who know me say that I am worried, but let's forget about it."

The moon was a little puzzled and asked, "Why is it a pity?"

With both hands, Siyue took the prescription and carefully put it away: "It's not that troublesome. The Cheng family has a pharmacy. I'll go get the medicine, and the shopkeeper won't ask too many questions."

After finishing, he picked up some interesting stories from the village and talked to Baba about them.

Su You smiled and said, "So the chicken blood has turned into chicken blood soup, right? This thing has a fancy name, called Xue Wang or Wang Zi."

The Master respectfully presented the Su oil at the entrance of the inner courtyard, and the Cheng family gained another person who did not treat him as a child.

... ....

He chose the famous Qi Gong style, which is elegant, graceful, noble, and refined, full of aristocratic and scholarly charm.

Su You is quite modest: "I am young and my calligraphy skills are not yet mature. I can only use a wolf hair brush. Although a goat hair brush performs well, what I write at my age is still not worth seeing."

Si Yue became increasingly curious about this child from the Su family. Unlike typical mischievous children, he could hold a conversation with the elderly and even make the young ladies laugh, persuading them to eat. In Si Yue's mind, this was truly remarkable.

Ba Niang exclaimed, "You are so young, yet you know quite a lot."

Originally, I would have written a few small regular script characters, but later I learned traditional calligraphy techniques from several inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. Bored, I selected a calligraphy font from the computer and printed out the "Thousand Character Classic," practicing it every day.

Su poured some vinegar into a plate, then dipped his fingers in it and said, "Taste it yourself."

Thinking about it, the bookstore is most afraid of fires. The kitchen of Cheng's Bookstore is quite a distance away from the courtyard just now, separated by a pathway.

So the stranger pointed out the location, lit the lamp on the ground, and it didn't go out even in the wind. That is the ancestral tomb of my Su family in Ke Long Li.

The cook put his fingers in his mouth and looked at Su You with a face full of surprise for a moment, saying: "No strange taste! Amazing! This... This is even purer than the Ningxia green salt sent by the master! Where is this salt from?"

After speaking, I glanced at the kitchen, and beckoned to Siyue, "Follow me to the study in the outer chamber."

Suyou said, "He's in good health, chasing me all over the mountain. I've already changed several Huangjing sticks."

Su You is also the first time to travel through and catch a pen. First, take out a piece of paper to try writing a few words. When the feeling comes back, then take out another piece of paper and write: "Star anise, one liang and seven qian; clove, three qian; Sichuan pepper, one liang and seven qian; cardamom, three qian; fennel, one liang and five qian..."

While speaking, Su You has already finished writing the prescription. He picked it up and blew it dry with his mouth. Then he flicked the paper and said, "The recipe for Thirteen Fragrances is invaluable. Keep it safe. When you go to the pharmacy, remember not to respond if the shopkeeper asks about it. Just hand over the prescription as it is. After everything is done, remember to take the prescription back."

Eight Niang was amused by Su You and smiled frequently, saying, "Listening to Little Yao Uncle talking about these things, Eight Niang feels much better."

The key here is the Song Dynasty, with a gentle and playful culture, which is most admirable. Moreover, this character appeared before Zhao and Dong, and even before the mature slim gold body, this sense of nobility can be said to be quite rare, which is quite impressive.

The master seems to be a bookworm, shaking his head and watching Su You write while murmuring, "It's a pity, it's a pity..."

Entering the kitchen, Su You inspected it and looked at the salt shaker, murmuring, "As expected."

Eight Sister laughed and said, "It seems that Little Uncle Yao is also a troublemaker."

The master nodded and said, "Young sir is too modest. To be able to articulate such reasoning, it is evident that he is an expert. However, the wolf hair brush is expensive and only the master can afford it. Can a combination brush be used instead?"

After returning to the kitchen in the inner courtyard, the chicken has already been slaughtered. When the cook saw Su You approaching, he quickly stepped forward nervously and said, "Young master, the chicken blood, that chicken blood..."

Last year, Zizhan carved the three characters "连鳌山" on the cliff of Qiyun Temple. Each character was as large as a building, majestic and dynamic, truly extraordinary. The potential is already evident, soaring and promising.

Upon reflection, it's true that bookstores generally use paper of decent quality.

Ba Niang was a little surprised and waved her hand repeatedly, saying, "No, no. A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen and not trouble Little Brother Yao with labor."

His calligraphy concept is deeply influenced by the styles of Zhao and Dong. His strokes are clean, but he does not pursue variation.

Let Sìyuè lead oneself into the kitchen, but it was a long way.

This gentleman is obviously also deeply infected. It was only now that he reacted and stroked his beard, laughing and saying, "Meng Lang, I don't know which noble family the young master comes from?"

Of course, there are pros and cons to this. Those who do not like it think it is too sweet, lacking in substance, and monotonous.

Su You said, "No problem, this is not something I randomly took on. It will definitely surprise you."

With Su oil, Ciyue arrived at the outer chamber. A scholar was leisurely copying books when he saw the two approaching and quickly stood up, saying, "Miss Ciyue, did the Lord have any instructions?"

Eight Niang frowned again and said, "I had caught a cold before, which lasted for a long time, making me feel depressed, with little appetite and a dislike for medicine."

It's as if Su You is someone she knows well.

Suyou said, "Just write down the recipe, as long as it can be recognized, there is no need to be too particular."
