Chapter 33: Discussing with the Teacher
After putting the marinade away, Huang Xiaodou pushed the master's bowl over. I also sat down and poured the rest of the marinade into my own bowl. After picking and mixing with chopsticks, he took a big bite and squinted his eyes with satisfaction.
Feng Qianqiu also tasted it, and it tasted really good, but it wasn't delicious, but there was just a ...... It's very intimate, or rather, very warm.
"You stopped the cafeteria?"
Although Huang Xiaodou has always been calm on the surface, he actually beat a drum in his heart, and he was relieved when he heard this.
"Hmm. He nodded.
"Why? Don't you think cooking is a waste of time?"
"Waste of time?" Huang Xiaodou asked rhetorically, Feng Qianqiu didn't say anything, just looked at him and waited for him to answer.
When Huang Xiaodou heard this, he remembered the words taught by his teachers, parents, relatives and other elders when he was a student:
Don't play games, saying it's a waste of time and money. But she wondered why this thing was so attractive? If it was like a drug, why was there no law to prohibit it? And a lot of people spent a lot of money on it, where did all that money go? It shouldn't have disappeared out of thin air, right? She also helped her classmates make equipment for a week, and she also practiced some trumpets and got some money, so she bought a repeater, and her English improved a little that semester, so is this game right or wrong? confiscated the rented "Journey to the West", "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Kafka by the Sea", ...... Then criticize the students' essays for being so badly written! Why did they fail the language?
It is not allowed to be crazy, saying that girls should look like girls, otherwise how to marry in the future, girls should not be too close to boys...... If you don't get too close to boys, then why do you blame your eldest cousin for not marrying after the age of 25? Is there really only one way out for girls? Is "life must be happy" just for boys? Then why do we girls carry it along?
I don't like to be optimistic about studying, saying that since ancient times, "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", what can she do if she is admitted to university? It is better to come back to farm and cook, or go out to work, and whose daughter earns hundreds of dozens of yuan a month as a waitress in a county restaurant......
Huang Xiaodou put down his chopsticks and looked back at Feng Qianqiu, "Master, can you tell the apprentice what is a waste of time and what is not a waste of time?"
Seeing this, Feng Qianqiu also put the dishes and chopsticks and said: "A good man becomes a great talent, has great ambitions, and does useful things." This useless thing is a waste of time. ”
Well, he forgot that he was a man now.
"What is useful and what is useless?"
"Doing things that lead to great talents is a useful thing, and wasting time, sleeping in flowers and willows, and violating morals and customs are useless things. ”
"Master, what you said is too general, what is wasting time, and what is the way of great talent?"
"Doing nothing, seeking nothing in life, being greedy for sleep and eating, and having difficulty controlling one's desires/desires, this is a waste of time; the way of great talent is naturally the practice of exercises, not necessarily to make a name for itself, but only to help the common people and benefit future generations. ”
"What about eating, is eating useful or useless?"
Feng Qianqiu was a little helpless, but his expression was not obvious, and he paused before replying: "Eat and live, and only when you have a life can you have time." ”
"Is it useful to eat and useless to cook?"
"If someone else can do it, why bother yourself. ”
"If someone else can do it, why can't I?"
"You are my apprentice of Feng Qianqiu, the apprentice of the master, how can you be compared with the cook?"
"Master, are you discriminating?"
"Discrimination?Is there no difference between me and the cook in your eyes?Then why didn't you go to the cafeteria to apprentice, but went back to this Phoenix Residence with me?" Feng Qianqiu's rare tone showed a little anger.
Huang Xiaodou was silent at this point. Naturally, he couldn't go to a chef as a teacher, after all, he didn't have that much love for cooking. It's good to be a homely meal, but if he makes some fame, he's still far away.
Huang Xiaodou finally lowered his head in the face of that sharp gaze, "Master, the apprentice didn't mean to embarrass you, but these questions have really bothered me for a long time. Let's not talk about the question of whether it is useful or not, just say, what is the purpose of human life?
It is a day to eat and wait for death, and it is a day to study hard. It is a day for 10,000 people to admire, and it is still a day for 10,000 people to spurn. Why should people embarrass themselves? Can't they do what they like?"
"Then do you want to live a day that is admired by thousands of people, or a day that is spurned by thousands of people?" asked Feng Qianqiu, who was still angry. He is the head of the Qingshan Sect, only he is embarrassed by others, how can there be a time to be embarrassed? !
Huang Xiaodou pursed his lips, this question is to the point, if he can be "admired by ten thousand people", then who would have thought about the day when ten thousand people spurned?
Feng Qianqiu saw that he didn't answer, and educated: "You must remember that you are not the only one in this world, and people can't live without looking at other people's faces and ignoring other people's feelings.
For a while, the courtyard on this side was quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.
Feng Qianqiu's eyes had several emotions, and finally turned into flat.
He said lightly: "That's why intelligent people refuse to give up on violence, and strive for the top, and the spirit is the key." Raising his head and looking at the sky above him, he said slowly: "If you don't want to compete for the top, then why did you come to this Phoenix Residence?"
Hearing this, a string in Huang Xiaodou's heart that he didn't care about broke poof.
Yes, it was said that it was to find a better master for Hua Zhifan, didn't he ever think about himself?
"For the peaches behind the mountain?" Seeing that he was silent, Feng Qianqiu suddenly said.
Huang Xiaodou was shocked in his heart, raised his eyes timidly, and lowered his head again once he met Feng Qianqiu's eyes.
"Master, you...... I know it......" The table rubbed his hands secretly, never thought that the master would know about this!
"A peach and two copper coins sound like a good deal. ”
Huang Xiaodou's head was buried in his chest again. I know it so well.
"It seems that you also understand that this matter is not honorable, otherwise what are you ashamed of?" Feng Qianqiu snorted coldly in his nose and said: "If the teacher tells you, eating those peaches not only quenches thirst and fills the stomach, but also makes people clear and clear. Do you regret not doing it in the first place?"
Huang Xiaodou stared at Feng Qianqiu with big eyes, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say for a while.
Feng Qianqiu was very satisfied with his expression. I raised my hand and took the chopsticks, nodded on the table, and continued to eat.
"Tomorrow is the day of worshipping ancestors, your clothes will be sent over tomorrow morning, remember to freshen up well, as a teacher, I don't expect you to give Sun Peak a long face, but if you are embarrassed, then don't come back." ”
Huang Xiaodou was still in the mood to care about those big truths, so he hurriedly replied: "Yes, Master!" and added obediently: "Disciple obeys the teachings!"
Thoughtfully, he grabbed his chopsticks and planned to continue eating, when he remembered, "Master, that ...... What does Ancestor Day do?"
