Luo Youping nodded again and again: "The young man's knowledge is really good, and he even knows 'pushing the pond and serving far away'." No wonder Pu Yatou said that you can memorize the "Thirteen Classics" and "Twenty-four History", and your Chinese culture literacy is indeed a leader among the younger generation!"

Pu Xiaoxiang was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Water source, what is the ingenuity of 'Tuitan Fuyuan', why don't I feel it? Why do you say that 'Tuitan Fuyuan' points out the characteristics of Shifu Lou as a hotel, and it can be worth 35 yuan? The Pingqiao tofu that the master worked so hard to make is only worth 15 yuan!"

Jiang Shuiyuan explained with a smile: "If you want to know the ingenuity of 'pushing the pond and serving far away', you have to start with its origin. If I'm not mistaken, it should be from the "Book of the Later Han" volume 86 "The Biography of the Nanban Southwest Yi Lie", which records the "Yuanyi Lede Song Poems" of the southwestern minority group at that time, one of which is 'Tuitan Fuyuan', which translates into Chinese to mean sweet wine and food, doesn't it just point out the characteristics of Shifulou as a hotel? And from the corner of the "Book of the Later Han" as a horizontal criticism of the Tang poetry collection, isn't it worth 35 yuan of hard work?"

"Well said! The old man has been in business for so many years, and you are the second to enter the house and you can pick out the beauty of this couplet. But when it comes to age, you are the last!" Luo Youping smiled happily, "With your knowledge, coming here to eat can make more money than those gluttons and nouveau riche who only pay attention to appetite!"

"Yes, yes, I'm the kind of glutton, nouveau riche who only pays attention to appetite, okay? I even cheated my own apprentices, is there a master like you?" Pu Xiaoxiang looked unhappy.

"Of course there is a master like me! The cat is the master of the tiger, doesn't it leave a trick in the end?" Luo Youping replied in a heartfelt manner, "Besides, it's your own stupidity." If the apprentices are as brainless as you, whatever the master says will remain the same for the rest of his life, and he doesn't know how to pass on and develop his cooking skills?"

Pu Xiaoxiang still felt aggrieved: "Then you can't lie to me like this! Fortunately, you came in time, so if you come late." If I tell the source your explanation of these four words, he won't laugh off his big teeth?"

"Is there any other explanation for these four words?" Jiang Shuiyuan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Master, since you want me to make a fool of myself, then I will also make you embarrassed in front of the master. Pu Xiaoxiang snorted angrily and said: "Listen to the water source, my master and his old man explained it to me like this, saying that this is an allusion, from the "Biography of Tang Caizi" by Xin Wenfang of the Yuan Dynasty. It is rumored that Wang Lun invited Li Bai to visit Jingchuan, claiming that there were ten miles of peach blossoms and ten thousand hotels, and only told the truth after Li Bai arrived happily. The peach blossoms of the peach blossoms of ten miles are the peach blossom pond water, and there is no real peach blossom; the ten thousand hotels of the ten thousand hotels are because the hotel owner's surname is Wan, not really there are ten thousand hotels.

But Li Bai was still very happy, so he got drunk at Wanjia Hotel, and then came to the side of Peach Blossom Pond. It was the fifteenth year, and the full moon like a white jade disk hung in the blue sky, reflected in the clear pool water. Li Bai sat on the boat and sang 'Peach Blossom Lake is a thousand feet deep', holding the side of the boat and trying to catch the bright moon in the water. Who knew that the strength of the wine was surging, and he staggered down and fell out a long way. This is the source of the allusion to 'pushing the pond and serving far away'. What do you think. Wonderful, right?"

"Wonderful! It's really wonderful!" Jiang Shuiyuan couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Shuiyuan said that it was wonderful, not that the story itself was exciting, but that Luo Youping made it very wonderful. The "Biography of Tang Caizi" by Xin Wenfang in the Yuan Dynasty is indeed a book, and it does record some interesting anecdotes about Li Bai; as for Wang Lun, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, and Wanjia Hotel, they are from Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Poems" of the Qing Dynasty, and they are not fictional to the wall; Li Bai's "Gift to Wang Lun" contains "the Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep." In a word, it is even more well-known. However, on the basis of a bunch of real materials, such an absurd allusion was fabricated, and many people were deceived. Isn't it exciting?

"Look, Shuiyuan, he's laughing at me, right?" Pu Xiaoxiang grabbed Luo Youping's shirt in indignation. "Master, I don't care what you say, you must compensate me for mental damages!

"Good, good, good, this meal is free today. Luo Youping seemed to be annoyed by Pu Xiaoxiang's quarrel, "But the reason for the exemption is not to compensate you for the mental loss of this stupid apprentice, but because Jiang Xiaoyou is the second master who can pick out the beauty of this couplet when he enters the house since the opening of our Blessing Building, and we are willing to free the order for such guests!"

"The master was also brought by me!" Pu Xiaoxiang defended, "But master, you always say that the water source is the second, so who is the first?"

Luo Youping didn't answer directly, but threw the question to Jiang Shuiyuan: "It is estimated that Jiang Xiaoyou should be able to guess who the first person is, right?"

"Could it be Mr. Han Xianru Han?" replied Jiang Shuiyuan tentatively.

"That's right, it's Brother Han!" Luo Youping was very happy that Jiang Shuiyuan could guess the answer, "At that time, Brother Han was only in his early thirties, and he was already the head of the Department of Chinese Studies at Huai'an Prefecture Normal School, and I often went to him to ask some questions. Later, we invited him to the opening of the Blessing Building, but as soon as he entered the house and saw this couplet and the plaque on it, he said that the decoration was tasteful. In the following decades, he often brought some friends who came to eat from other places, but few of them could see the subtleties, and I don't know if they didn't notice it, or because they didn't have enough education. ”

When it comes to Mr. Han Xianru, Jiang Shuiyuan suddenly remembered that his booklet on the difficulties of Chinese culture has been written for more than 100,000 words after a semester of hard work, and the overall framework is roughly formed. When the time comes, can you let Mr. Han take a look and let him give his opinions?

With Luo Youping's free order benefits, and the dishes in Shifu Lou are really delicious, this meal is hearty.

After dinner, the three chatted for a while, and Jiang Shuiyuan got up to say goodbye. Luo Youping seemed to be a little unsatisfied, and when he parted, he not only gave Jiang Shuiyuan a VIP card for Shifu Building, but also repeatedly told him to come often. Jiang Shuiyuan said in his heart: I want to come often, but the price of your food here is comparable to the housing price in the capital, do I dare to come often?

Fortunately, before coming to Shifu Building, Jiang Shuiyuan had already given Pu Xiaoxiang a preventive shot, saying that there would be important things to do in the afternoon, which put an end to the possibility that Pu someone tried to hijack him to go shopping. Pu Xiaoxiang seems to just want to extort Jiang Shuiyuan for a meal, and he doesn't have the idea of getting Long Wangshu. So the two easily reached a cooperation intention to go their separate ways after dinner.

As when they came, Jiang Shuiyuan and Pu Xiaoxiang bypassed the shadow wall that was not eye-catching, and then passed through the narrow corridor, and finally returned to the familiar lobby of the Blessing Building. As he was walking out, he heard a familiar voice sound: "Hey, handsome senior!" 'I don't see you for a day, like every three autumns', I haven't seen you for three years in the blink of an eye, do you miss me? I didn't expect to meet you when I went shopping, it seems that the two of us are really fate! Do you want to wait a while for us to go to the Jinghui Temple of Bochi Mountain to worship the Buddha, and by the way, draw a lot, to see if we have the fate of practicing for thousands of years in this life?"

A hundred years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a thousand years of repair can be slept together. This secondary and secondary disease patient really dares to think about it!

"It is said that the thousand-year-old king is an eighty-thousand-year-old tortoise. Wu Yangzhen's classmate can cultivate for a thousand years in his last life, I don't know which one?" Jiang Shuiyuan turned around and joked with Wu Yangzhen while looking around, for fear that Liu Chenyu was also nearby. - Originally, I said yesterday that I would go on a date today, but then I temporarily changed my hexagram and said that the principal had something to call, so I hurriedly changed the time. But if Liu Chenyu found out that she was with Pu Xiaoxiang and came to Shifu Building for dinner, what would she think in her heart?

Wu Yangzhen pouted and said: "Why can't you speak so handsomely, senior! Can't you say that you were a Shenying attendant in your previous life, and I was a Zhuzhu Immortal Grass in your previous life? Then you and I have the virtue of nourishing and irrigating, and I have an inexhaustible meaning with you, and in this life, it is a golden and jade fate destined by God." There is a way to wish that all lovers in the world will become dependents, and it is destined not to miss the marriage in the previous life——"

"Wu Yangzhen, who are you talking nonsense with? Hurry up and order! Didn't you just make a noise to order food? Why are you grinding there now?" (To be continued......)
