Chapter Twenty-Nine: Pomegranate Has a Mind
Chen Musa is already planning in his heart, how to pull the situation onto the right path.
Even if he admits that this hand is quite beautiful, but no matter what, it belongs to the arts, but it is not yet at the level of the power technique, and the science is based on the essence and the extreme rejection of the technique, whether it is the power technique or the mental technique, it is not the right way. Except, of course, arithmetic.
Moreover, he first restored the chess game on the chessboard, and then returned to the little prince to play the move that occupied the commanding heights, and he threw a pawn into the opponent's camp.
"Senior brother, let's start researching here. "Besides, it's still white.
"Hmm. The little prince answered, pondered for a long time, and then adopted another way of playing, but after more than a dozen moves, he was still brought to life by the lone chess.
Subsequently, the little prince used more than a dozen methods one after another, but they were all cracked one by one. He was finally convinced, and said with a smile: "Little junior brother, tell me the correct move, I admit defeat." ”
Besides, he began to play chess for him, showing several wrong moves, but they were much more clever than the little prince. Some little princes clearly feel that they are no more clever, but they still can't win chess in the end.
In the end, the only correct routine was laid out. After the little prince and Chen Musa saw it, they both suddenly realized. I understand it, but the intermediate process is too complicated, too subtle and magical, and it hardly looks like it comes out step by step, but it is laid out.
"You're Zhenlong. Pomegranate snorted.
Zhenlong in Go is similar to the life-and-death practice problems of later generations, and has a corresponding term in chess, endgame. It all looks like how to play and how to win, once you get started, but how to play and how to lose, the chess strength is not at the national level, and it is impossible to crack Zhenlong and the endgame.
However, the life-and-death problems of Go in later generations are very different, because these life-and-death problems are actually played, not carefully planned. Therefore, the endgame of Zhenlong and chess is actually a trap and a hoax.
Because of this, Pomegranate held grievances for the little prince, thinking that he deliberately set a trap to harm him. But Chen Musa and the little prince don't think about it, if they can come out of Zhenlong in advance, then they will really become immortals, and neither can the national players.
"It's so subtle, wait a minute, I've got to write it down. ”
The little prince thought back and found that he had forgotten most of it, not because he had a poor memory, but because those methods were too tight and complicated, one step at a time, and one step at a time, one step at a time, and one step could not be wrong.
He picked up his pen and wrote down the next move on the paper according to the specifications of the game, even the wrong moves, which were extremely subtle even though he did not win.
"Make two copies and keep one for me. Chen Musa commanded.
"You came up with this?" Pomegranate inadvertently asked a question, but got to the point.
Where did you learn these tricks? If you say that you learned from a master, you can't say the name of the master, especially a chess addict like Xiao Wangye, even if the chess masters in the north and south of the country don't know him, they still know his name.
Want to get by?
If he said that he learned it from the chess game, he couldn't take it out, and he couldn't say that he learned the fairy chess in the Longmen Grottoes, or that he realized it in a dream. Once those nonsense stories are made up, they must be kept being made up, and sooner or later they will be exposed.
However, I really don't worry at all. He thought, as long as I don't say it, no one in the world will know this secret, even if I meet the person who teleported in front of me, I know that there is him, and he doesn't know that there is me.
"I've been wondering all these days, your chess game seems to be very nonsensical, but in fact it contains precise calculations, and I said how I can't always play you, how did you come to these routines. Chen Musa also came to his senses and asked.
"I think this junior brother, the city government is quite deep, and they all say that chess is like character, which is not false at all. "The pomegranate is coming.
Pomegranate, pomegranate, you just go against me, see how I have a chance to clean you up in the future!
This time, the root of his teeth itched, but he couldn't attack, so he had to say: "When I'm idle and have nothing to do, I like to play chess by myself, and I really deduced it by mistake." ”
Chen Musa knew that Pomegranate was arguing with the two, and he didn't care about what Pomegranate said.
The little prince also sighed and was talented, such a clever chess move can be deduced by himself, given time, isn't it another generation of top national players?
After copying the two chess games, the little prince approached and asked quietly: "Senior brother, what other routines do you have, let's study and study them together." ”
Besides, he almost collapsed, this is too greedy and insufficient, he has already contributed a whole set of chess routines to play opponents without reservation, and the little prince still wants to ask for it?
"Senior brother, junior brother is not the Qing guest in your palace, so he has no obligation to contribute everything to you, right?"
Besides, she smiled bitterly in her heart, this chivalrous woman has a good heart, but she can't distinguish between the enemy and me, one will help this, one will help that, and when she attacks, not only will she not recognize her relatives, but she will also be a little bit unrecognizable.
"Of course, I will never let my junior brother suffer. What the little junior brother likes and wants, just ask. The little prince was also a little surprised, and hurriedly offered a reward, and asked for it casually.
Besides, he was about to express his gratitude, and then politely declined. But he saw Pomegranate glaring at him, meaning don't speak.
"It's easy to say, and the little junior brother's family doesn't lack much. There is a set of residences, 20 maids, 5 cooks, 50 families, and the wages have to be paid by the king. Pomegranate said lightly.
"Pomegranate, don't mess around. Chen Musa hurriedly stopped.
Besides, he had to smile wryly on the side.
"Senior brother, don't be surprised, I'm talking about playing. Pomegranate stuck out her tongue and grimaced.
But the little prince didn't care about this, and said: "Pomegranate just talked about the cook and the housekeeper, I suddenly feel a little hungry, is there anything delicious here teacher?"
"I'm not as good as your mansion here, it's the entire land and water dojo. However, if you get a new chef for your teacher, you can also get a few dishes, just in time for you to taste and taste. When it came to eating, Chen Musa was obviously prepared, he clapped his hands, and an old servant walked in.
"Grandpa Park, please pass us food, my senior brother is about to put his chest on his back. Pomegranate laughed.
The old servant laughed and went out.
After a while, a few maids and young daughters-in-law came in to set up the table, and then more than a dozen family members came in with food boxes, wine jars, wine glasses, saucers and other things, first put the tableware for everyone, and then asked Chen Musa what wine to open first.
"They are still young, so they opened Jinhua Sweet Bar first. ”
The family picked up a wine jar, patted open the mud seal, and suddenly a sweet aroma of wine wafted out.
"You taste my Jinhua sweet wine here, it is different from the one in your house, this is a ten-year-old wine made by home. Chen Musa said to the little prince.
"Which senior brother sent it?" the little prince guessed.
"No, it was a student who asked me for some questions, and then gave me five jars of aged wine. I'm not going to overdo my disciples for a few jars of wine. Chen Musa said proudly.
"That's it. ”
The family served a few dishes first, and they recognized that the first dish was the bad crucian carp, which was an appetizer although it was an appetizer.
The second dish is Song Sister-in-law's vinegar fish, which is the most home-cooked dish, but the taste made by celebrity chefs and ordinary people is simply worlds apart.
The third dish is still a home-cooked dish, Nanjing's famous roast duck, in the middle is a pot of duck soup, which is boiled out of the skeleton of the roast duck. This is much the same as the later Peking duck.
The fourth dish is a bit famous, it is a court dish, called Panlong Roll, the specific ingredients are just from person to person, it is nothing more than a variety of meat chopped into filling, and then rolled into a roll shape, steamed and sliced, and then stacked into a dragon shape on the plate.
Chen Musa pointed to this dish and said, "This dish is a bit exquisite. When the emperor summoned me to Beijing, Ouchi sent a table of banquets, saying that the emperor liked to eat, so he rewarded me, and my favorite dish was this dish, called Panlong cuisine. So I begged for the recipe, came back and asked the cook to make it a few times, and it barely tasted. ”
"Then I'll have to taste it. ”
The little prince is actually not hungry, he is just begging for food to get rid of the embarrassment just now. Listening to the teacher's warm recommendation, I hurriedly tasted it.
There are four other dishes, which are even more ordinary. A piece of Dongpo meat, a Jiang Zhu Zhu, a steamed lion's head, and a vinegared cabbage. There is also a soup, but it is a soup made of several kinds of mushrooms.
The little prince tasted two pieces of Panlong vegetables and said with a smile: "The taste is also ordinary." ”
Pomegranate Bai glanced at him and said: "You are tired of eating all the food in the world, of course, everything is normal." ”
The little prince didn't answer, he didn't know how to say the teacher, and he obviously didn't have an appetite for roast duck and duck soup, and suddenly smelled the pot of mushroom soup, hurriedly took a spoon to drink, took a sip, hurriedly scooped another spoonful, blew the hot air, drank it in one gulp, and then sighed and said: "Absolutely, this soup is really amazing." ”
"There's something you haven't eaten. Chen Musa smiled.
These mushrooms are rare varieties, and even fewer are collected every year, which is still obtained by the host of a temple in Wutai Mountain, and he is not willing to eat it, so he gave it to Chen Musa. Chen Musa was only willing to take it out when the little prince came. This kind of treasure may not be available in the Zhongshan Palace, and it is rare to see it even in Ouchi. Without him, the yield was too low to make tribute.
"Little prince, it's better for you to eat this. A servant bowed down and handed over a plate containing baked cakes.
"Donkey meat burned?" the little prince asked, looking at the baked cakes.
"You'll know if you eat. Pomegranate laughed.
The little prince picked up a baked cake, took a bite, and chewed it to find that it was not a donkey meat filling, but a plum vegetable and some kind of meat.
"What kind of stuffing is this?" he broke open the biscuit and looked closely, he knew the dried plum vegetables, but he didn't know what kind of meat it was.
"I haven't seen it, it's lard residue. Chen Musa said with a laugh.
"Lard residue?" the little prince still didn't understand.
"Forget it, old man, you tell him that it is wild, not to mention lard residue, he may not even know what lard is. Pomegranate laughed.
"This is also the case, there are always people who don't care where they come from, just know whether it tastes good or not. Chen Musa quipped.
"Senior brother can't eat it even if he knows it, there must be lard residue in the palace, but it must be for the people to eat. Besides, he said with a smile. He suddenly thought of what Wen Jie said, the plum dried vegetables and meat are the story for the next person.
"Well, I'll have to check when I go back, these black-hearted subordinates secretly eat such good things every day, and get me a table of unpalatable dishes?"
The three of them burst out laughing. When it comes to these home-cooked foods, the little prince is almost like an idiot, because he doesn't need to understand these things at all.
"This kind of baked cake tastes average when eaten alone, and there must be a good soup, even if there is no such mushroom soup, it is also necessary to use a good ham and a clear soup made of chicken and duck bones. Chen Musa explained.
Sure enough, while drinking the soup, the little prince was eating the baked cakes, eating large pieces, and was very happy, and then turned around and instructed the servant to get a large plate and put it up, and he wanted to take it back for the grandfather of the country to taste.
Seeing him feasting on a large piece, Chen Musa and besides, they all felt hungry, and they raised their glasses one after another, and the families of teachers, students, and disciples did not have much etiquette at the same table, but they also ate and drank happily.
Besides, the diet at home is average, but I think everything is delicious, but I keep in mind the ancestral way of health, so I can only eat less of everything.
"What are you polite about? "Pomegranate can't get used to his fake Sven.
"That's it, learn from me. The little prince's chopsticks were rounded, and he found that except for the plate of Panlong dishes, the other dishes were different from what he had eaten, not ordinary delicious, but too delicious. Even this wine is the same, sweet and fragrant but not greasy, and when you drink it, your body is hot and baked, but there is no sense of alcohol.
Chen Musa is similar to the situation, eating some of everything, but eating less. Seeing the little prince eating and drinking, he was very happy, and he also knew that half of the little prince was deliberately pretending to please the teacher.
"It's better to taste it when you bite it. "Besides, he still refuses to do the same, still drinks in small sips and eats in small bites.
It took about an hour for the meal to finish.
The little prince touched his round belly and said with a smile: "I haven't been so full for a long time." ”
"You say this as if someone in the palace is abusing you every day. Pomegranate looked at him and thought it was funny.
"Senior brother, let's have enough wine and food, and we should talk about business, what benefits do you want for this chess game? ”
"Senior brother wants to study chess, this is easy to say, what is good or not, the same senior brother said that these are too foreign. ”
Besides, he came up with the same set of tricks to deal with Zhou Dingcheng, first he didn't want anything, and in the end he could ask for anything, but when the time came, it would be up to him to see what he needed. This is in line with the principle that if you want to take it, you must first take it, but there is a difference between what you want and what you want.
"This ......" the little prince was a little embarrassed, and he didn't care if he wanted some benefits, even if the pomegranate said nonsense, it was not a problem, the dignified Zhongshan Palace, more than a hundred years of business accumulation, the financial resources are unimaginable.
The question is, besides, there are no other tricks.
"It's just one thing, there are too many of these treasures, and it takes a day to study them thoroughly. I've studied one today, and my little brother thinks it's enough, and he can't chew it if he is greedy. How about a chance to study them one by one later?"
The little prince was overjoyed: "Okay, little junior brother, you can go to my house to live, the treatment is the same as mine, if you live for a year or two, you will help me study." ”
"Senior brother, the younger brother has a school to complete, unlike when you were born with a crown on your head. And he smiled bitterly.
Although this prince is a year older than himself, he really thinks like a seven or eight-year-old child.
"I learn the same in my house, the teacher can also live in my house, and the junior sister, didn't the teacher also live in my house to teach me to read?"
"In this way, when I go back, I will write down dozens of Zhenlong on a piece of paper and ask someone to give it to you, so that you can play chess and study it yourself. When we have a chance to meet, let's dig deeper. ”
Moreover, he politely refused, but he also tried his best to show his kindness. He really didn't dare to offend King Zhongshan easily, and he would have to go to Beijing in the future, and it would be inevitable to deal with the court up and down.
"Well, I know you hate that we have a lot of rules in the house, and you don't feel comfortable living in it, so that's why you have to do it. Little junior brother, thank you in advance, if you need anything in the future, just send someone to the mansion to get it. ”
Besides, I was relieved that I finally passed another level. If you can't pass this level, don't really want to have a good life in the future.
Chen Musa on the other side seemed to have the same mind as him, and let out a long breath. Only Pomegranate didn't feel anything, and Wu was thinking about something, as if he had a little thought.
Besides, I took the opportunity to ask the little prince for some questions, especially the historical past related to Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, who only knew what was recorded in the history books before, but now the living history is in front of me, and it would be a pity to miss it.
Of course, the little prince was happy to preach the merits of his ancestors to him, and the two of them chatted while eating and drinking, most of them were said by the little prince, and besides, he really heard a lot of real secrets, especially whether Emperor Taizu really intended to give King Zhongshan a death.
The little prince insisted that there was no such thing, and it was all rendered by later generations of literati.
"If you want to know this, when you get to the mansion, I will show you the family history of the family seal, and you will know it all. I don't remember much. The little prince sent out an invitation again.
"Okay, I'll be there if I have a chance. ”
"Besides, you're very good at making friends, why are you always angry with me?" Pomegranate suddenly spoke.
Besides, he couldn't answer for a while. He never had the idea of deliberately angry with her, but Pomegranate was looking for awkwardness everywhere, and he was just countering it.
As for saying that he will make friends, it is better to say that he likes friends, so when he sees someone with a compatible personality, he will make friends wholeheartedly.
Like Shen Bo, he will resolutely not associate with him.
"It's you who are looking for trouble everywhere. Senior sister doesn't look like a senior sister. Chen Musa finally said a fair word.
"No, I really want to help him every time, but every time I am so angry that he vomits blood. Pomegranate said unconvinced.
"Then it must be your wrong approach and it will not help. The little prince took the opportunity to pour oil on the fire again.
Besides, I thought that the pomegranate would be like thunder, but who knew that she actually bowed her head and said nothing, as if she was really thinking about the words of the little prince.
The three of them talked as they ate, not noticing that Chen Musa was meditating on the side. After a while, Chen Musa opened his eyes, looked at the situation, and said, "Are you ready to go to Jiangxi?"
Besides, after thinking about it, he said, "My father wants me to open my eyes, and I also want to go out and have a look, but I haven't figured out when to leave." The teacher means ......"
Chen Musa glanced at Pomegranate and said in a low voice: "Pomegranate told me about this, I think she is worried about you, you can take the time to talk to her." ”
"Oh," and his heart shook again, "I know that Senior Sister cares about me, I will tell her, please rest assured, Teacher." ”
"Also, that Zhou Dingcheng, the background is also more complicated, I have heard of some. Chen Musa said.
The teacher's seemingly simple words made me feel a kind of warmth. He didn't expect that a master of science would pay so close attention to a person.
I wanted to say something like gratitude, but I felt that words were too weak to express my feelings at the moment, so I nodded vigorously.
Pomegranate saw their master and apprentice muttering on the side, laughed and interjected, "Are you talking badly about me, besides!"
Besides, looking at the teacher, there was encouragement in the teacher's eyes. So, besides, he said, "Isn't that cheap?"
Pomegranate said: "What do you mean, what do you want to do with me?"
Besides, he smiled: "I'm discussing with the teacher, and I plan to take you to Jiangxi to sell." ”
"Okay, okay, I'm going to Jiangxi to play......" Pomegranate couldn't help clapping his hands.
Alas, the old master had to sigh, the woman was not left, and Pomegranate's mind was becoming more and more obvious. What if it doesn't work out?
Just as he was talking and laughing, he saw the family of Zhongshan Wangfu come in and report: "Master, Lord Lian of Suzhou Mansion asked to see him, saying that there is an urgent matter to report." ”
