Chapter 76: Auspicious Numbers
Zhou Xuesen, with the encouragement of Tang Wenzhe, said: "You see, there are six famous Chinese paintings in this private room, which are plum blossoms, orchids, chrysanthemums, bamboos, cranes, and pine trees. If you look at the number of cold dishes on the table, it's exactly six. ”
"What's so rare about this, it's a complete coincidence. Li Ting said with a smile.
"No, I'm not done yet, have you noticed, I just saw two copper "door cymbals" on the two wooden doors at the door, guess what kind of graphics?" Zhou Xuesen asked with a serious face.
Li Ting and Liang Xiaohui were confused, Li Ting said: "I really didn't pay attention to this, is it also hexagonal." ”
"Yes, the pair of "door cymbals" is hexagonal, this is a very rare bronze "door cymbal", the animal face on it is exquisitely carved, and the copper pulp shows that it has a long history, and it is definitely something that only large families or ancient prime ministers' mansions will have. ”
Qiu Zhuodong listened to Zhou Xuesen's statement and was fascinated, as soon as Zhou Xuesen finished speaking, Qiu Zhuodong patted the table and said: "I met an archaeological master today, this restaurant opened by my uncle seems to be knowledgeable, these 6 words have always run through the layout of the restaurant, the meaning is far-reaching, extraordinary! I see that the hot dishes on the back must also be 6, anyway, they are all related to this mysterious number 6." ”
"Zhuo Dong, don't talk nonsense, let Teacher Zhou tell the rest of the story. Liang Xiaohui said.
Zhou Xuesen didn't say anything, looked at Tang Wenzhe and asked, "Mr. Tang, do you know the meaning of this number 6?"
Tang Wenzhe did not answer immediately, recalling that the restaurant that Zhou Xuesen said just now is related to the mysterious number 6, which is a fact, which shows that this Zhou Xuesen is still very careful in observing the problem, and it may also be related to scientific research work, but what does this number 6 mean? It is indeed difficult to guess, Tian Haiying did not tell himself in advance about the decoration style of this restaurant, but one thing is certain, this mysterious number '6' is by no means a coincidence, there must be a meaning in it.
"From a physical point of view, the number '6' represents a stable physical structure. Tang Wenzhe said.
Mr. Tang is a doctoral student who explained completely correctly, hexagons are a kind of polygons, and the sum of the inner angles of all regular hexagons is 720 degrees, and the sum of the outer angles is 360 degrees. In nature, snowflakes, beehives, turtle shells, and even the molecular structures of benzene and graphite in chemistry all exhibit regular hexagonal shapes. It can be said that the hexagon is one of the most stable structures in the physical world. Zhou Xuesen is like meeting a like-minded person, and appreciates that Tang Wenzhe's perspective on observing problems is so consistent with himself.
Li Ting said: "I don't think so, there are many coincidences with hexagons, there is a 'hexagonal system architecture' in our computer architecture, the traditional hierarchical architecture such as the classic three-layer architecture, the system is divided into a presentation layer, a business logic layer, and a data access layer. Hexagonal architecture, also known as port-adapter architecture, has a wide range of applications in artificial intelligence, you don't use a scientific attitude to look at our gatherings and meals, this is to interfere with our attention to eating, Shanshan, we still talk while eating, don't care about their 'hexagons', Liang Xiaohui, are you right? We just care about the three of us eating and chatting, and we care about our 'trilateral', haha!" Li Ting said that she was already laughing backwards and backwards, and Cao Shanshan and Liang Xiaohui were also infected and laughed.
"You don't observe the objective things around you, I think there is still a difference between the perspective of men and women in observing problems, Mr. Tang, are you right?" Zhou Xuesen retorted a little unconvinced by Li Ting's words.
"Mr. Zhou, do you often discuss physics issues at home?" Tang Wenzhe asked curiously.
"No, it's hard to agree on a different perspective, and everyone sees the world from a different perspective. Zhou Xuesen also picked up the chopsticks as he spoke, and put a piece of fried fish on his plate and said.
Tang Wenzhe said: "Mr. Zhou, I think that in fact, there are not too many physical phenomena in life that can be used as research objects, and many phenomena still need to be understood from the perspective of social ethics. ”
"Oh, Mr. Tang's story must have depth, so you might as well let everyone know about it and help you enjoy it during your meal. Zhou Xuesen said.
"You may not know this Tian Haiying, but I said that most of the people in Jianghai City know about a place - 'Julemen Dance Hall'. ”
Li Ting said: "Julemen Ballroom" is very famous, before the liberation is the most dazzling landmark in Shanghai, it is a typical representative of Shanghai culture, but also the epitome of Jianghai people's lifestyle and spiritual temperament. ”
Julemen Ballroom used to be a place where celebrities in Jianghai City gathered, and at that time it was known as "the first dance hall in the East". The Julemen building has three floors. The ground floor is occupied by the kitchen and storefront. The second floor is the dance floor and banquet hall, the largest dance floor is about 500 square meters, and the dance floor is supported by automobile steel plates, and people will have a shaking feeling when dancing. The largest dance floor can accommodate thousands of people dancing at the same time, and the interior is luxuriously decorated. In July 2003, with the approval of the government, the Julemen Ballroom was renovated and welcomed guests with a new look. The boss at that time was this Mr. Tian Haiying. The 'Julemen Ballroom' was also an underground casino, which was very famous in Jianghai City at that time, attracting visitors from all over the world, which can be described as a smash hit. Later, the government intensified the crackdown, Tian Haiying withdrew from the rivers and lakes after transferring the dance hall, and suddenly Tian Haiying disappeared from the business world. ”
"I really wanted to see this story on the Internet, and later said that this Boss Tian went abroad, and his development abroad is also very good. Liang Xiaohui said.
"In fact, this Tian Haiying did not go far after leaving the 'Jule Gate', and was recruited by our company when the staff canteen was set up, this Tian Haiying was low-key as the boss and head chef in the staff restaurant of our Schindler communication company, and made delicious meals for our employees to enjoy every day, with rich dishes and fair prices, which won the praise of the majority of employees. ”
"Ah, is that so? Why didn't you tell me. Liang Xiaohui twisted Qiu Zhuodong's forearm and said.
"In fact, our office director, Qiu Zhuodong, is also the nephew of Master Tian Haiying. Tang Wenzhe said.
Liang Xiaohui slapped his fist on Qiu Zhuodong's forearm a few times again and said: "Why didn't you tell me the story of Tian Haiying? I see this Master Tian every time I go to the restaurant to eat, every time he sees me queuing, he comes to cook for me, every time he beats me the best food, and when there is meat, he picks the best lean meat for me to eat, and I have been thinking, why does this chef take so much care of me, it turns out to be your uncle! You are a bad person, why don't you tell me?"
Tang Wenzhe said: "Qiu Zhuodong is also to avoid unnecessary trouble, in fact, the recruitment of the staff canteen contractor is also open and fair bidding, Qiu Zhuodong did not take special care, Qiu Zhuodong also deliberately avoided the final decision-making meeting when the bid was opened, so Tian Haiying also won the contracting right of the staff restaurant with his own strength and experience, and has been highly praised by employees and leaders in the past few years." Lao Tian did do a good job, and then take the initiative to take on our several poor economic conditions of the unit to open a staff canteen, so that the employees eat well and affordably, our communication cable factory staff canteen is also Lao Tian contracted to operate, only charge the cost, to ensure that the staff eat well, has been praised by the staff of the communication cable factory. After all, Tian Haiying is a veteran of the business industry for a long time, he has seen a lot of people, and he is very good at doing things, and I have also become good friends with him, and I often ask him for advice when I am in trouble. ”
Zhou Xuesen said: "Mr. Tang, listening to you say this, I think the mysterious and auspicious number '6' has the answer, this Tian Haiying was originally in business, 'hexagon' represents stability, the stability of work, the stability of career, the stability of wealth, etc., and the biggest meaning of 'hexagon' is the meaning of '66 Shun'. ”
"Mr. Zhou is completely right, and I also guess that Tian Haiying's restaurant is related to the number '6' in order to seek a stable meaning. Tang Wenzhe said.
Li Ting said: "It seems that Tang Wenzhe invited us to dinner tonight, this restaurant was originally opened by Qiu Zhuodong's uncle, so I have to ask Director Qiu Zhuodong to pay for it today." ”
Cao Shanshan said: "Hey, Sister Li Ting, today is Tang Wenzhe to be the east, let him invite, he said that the main thing is to let me meet with you to talk, I haven't eaten with you since I got married to Tang Wenzhe, you are still our big matchmaker, you should let him invite, and it can also be our thank you for it." ”
"That's true, for Shanshan's sake, it's better to be invited by Tang Wenzhe. Li Ting said.
Qiu Zhuodong said: "Sister Li Ting is right, this is a restaurant opened by my uncle, you came to cheer me to give me a lot of face, I will invite everyone to eat this meal, otherwise Xiaohui will say that I am stingy again." ”
"Yes, every time I go out with him, I basically pay for it, every time I want to settle the bill, Qiu Zhuodong said that he called, and went out to answer the phone, and after a few minutes he came back, I paid the money, and the annoying thing is that he always said that next time he came to pay, it seemed that I stole his limelight, and so many of us are here today, so let him pay for it, and realize his wish to pay. After Liang Xiaohui finished speaking, everyone laughed, Cao Shanshan only shouted that her stomach hurt, and Li Ting also said that she couldn't catch her laughter.
At this time, Tian Haiying came in with a plate and a few vegetable plates in it, and said: "Don't fight any of you, I invited you for dinner today, and now I will serve you the first hot dish 'Xiangyou eel silk', which is a famous dish in Jianghai City." ”
After Tian Haiying finished speaking, he put a plate of roasted eel silk on the table, and then put a small bowl of shredded green onion cut into small pieces on top of the eel, and another small bowl filled with hot sesame oil poured on it, and suddenly the fragrance of hot sesame oil and green onion shreds permeated the room, and this plate of eel silk burst out with the sound of 'silk'.
"Authentic, this is the famous 'Xiangyou eel' in the local cuisine of Jianghai City, I opened my eyes today, I haven't eaten this famous dish for a long time. Zhou Xuesen said.
Qiu Zhuodong asked: "How can a great scientist also know this 'ringing oil eel silk', it is so surprising to me." ”
"Hey, not only do I know this dish, but I will also make it myself, but the color and flavor are not so authentic, please ask Li Ting to bring you to my house in the future, and I will also make a 'Xiangyou eel silk' for you to taste." Zhou Xuesen said.
The people at the table all looked at Zhou Xuesen with suspicion, and Li Ting said: "Zhou Xuesen's words are not wrong, I don't know how to cook, he cooks at home, this dish is his specialty, and 'Xiangyou eel' is his forte, and he does it well." ”
Zhou Xuesen corrected: "Hey, Li Ting, it's not scientific for you to say this, my specialty is not only 'Xiangyou eel silk', but also 'stir-fried shrimp' and so on, we must add a 'etc' here, emphasizing scientificity and integrity, which cannot be ignored." ”
"Okay! Say that you do a good job of cooking, you are still serious, if you have the ability, you can also open a restaurant to try, and you will be closed for proofing in 3 months. Li Ting said.
Cao Shanshan couldn't hold back her laughter, and covered her mouth with a towel to prevent laughter from coming out.
"You guys are right, 'stir-fried crystal shrimp' is here. After Tian Haiying finished speaking, he put a plate of crystal clear 'stir-fried crystal shrimp' on the table.
Zhou Xuesen was the first to quickly copy a few shrimp with a spoon on the plate and put them on his plate to take a bite, carefully tasted them in his mouth and said: "Master, this is the authentic 'stir-fried crystal shrimp', this skill is basically lost in the rivers and lakes, it can be said that here is one of the best 'fried crystal shrimp' I have eaten in Jianghai City, praise! Marinate with a little edible oil, add a little oil when marinating to make the shrimp more tender, be sure to put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours, so that its protein is fully decomposed and easy to be absorbed by the human body, and then put about 70% of the oil in the pot, and fry the shrimp slippery and change color. Drain the shrimp and set aside, pour out all the oil in the pot, pour in the fried shrimp, add the appropriate amount of broth, salt, cooking wine, water, white pepper thickening, and stir-fry out of the pot. Crystal shrimp is rich in protein, phosphorus and magnesium, which can protect the cardiovascular system, prevent arteriosclerosis, and provide essential nutrients for the human body, which is a delicious and nutritious dish. ”
Tian Haiying listened and said: "This gentleman seems to be also a master of cooking, what he said is completely correct, in the future, we will hire you to be the chef if our restaurant is short of manpower." ”
"Uncle, you're wrong, this Mr. Zhou is a physicist, an expert in nuclear physics, and cooking is just his hobby. Qiu Zhuodong said.
"Oh, scientists are the pillars of the country, and it's overkill to come to me to cook, like a telephone pole used as chopsticks. But being able to cook by yourself will also add spice to life, this 'stir-fried crystal shrimp' must be eaten while it is hot, come! Everyone use it slowly, I have to prepare a few dishes, a total of 6 hot dishes, you wait for me to serve one by one. Tian Haiying finished laughing and walked out of the private room.
Tang Wenzhe said: "Now it seems that our great scientist Zhou Xuesen is not like a nerd as Li Ting said, he is still very tasteful in life, he is an expert in scientific research, he is also very accomplished in life, and he is also a master of cooking and cooking! ”
Li Ting sneered: "Mr. Zhou's theory of cooking is indeed very solid, but the ideal is very beautiful, the reality is very skinny, he arrives home later than me every night, and I will be hungry and sick to stomach when he comes home to cook, so I still eat the home-cooked food I cook." ”
Cao Shanshan and Liang Xiaohui laughed again after hearing this, but Mr. Zhou didn't laugh, and continued to taste the taste of 'stir-fried crystal shrimp' seriously.
After dinner, the group walked out of the door of the hotel accompanied by Tian Haiying, who was wearing a chef's hat and a white apron, and everyone was saying goodbye at the door.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing a dirty suit and a peaked cap appeared outside the door of the hotel, shouting to see the hotel owner. ”
