Zan Xuji instructed the shopkeeper Xie: "Just do as he says." Yu Pei has more than two meals of wine and silver, but he just acted recklessly, and there is no need to make a fuss about it! ”

Shopkeeper Xie was busy with "yes", and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he withdrew.

After he left, Zan Xuji looked at his cousin who was looking down and rubbing his jade pendant with a melancholy face, and sighed: "Yan'er, why are you so troubled!" ”

Zhan Shuisha didn't answer, and after a while, he said quietly: "What about you?" ”

Zan Xuji was stunned.

He slowly picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip of wine, and then said: "I am a man, in the end, it is different, with some thoughts, or hope." You have no hope. ”

Zhan Shuisha chuckled lightly and said, "That's not necessarily! In my opinion, I had some hope, but my brother had no choice but to be empty. ”

Zan Xuan was extremely surprised: "Why is my sister so determined? ”

Zan shisha said softly: "My plan, don't say it, I'll know it then; What's on my brother's mind...... Alas, that yellow girl is a person with ideas. As far as I can see, she has no affection for her brother. What does my brother want? Do you want to learn from Yao Jingui? ”

Zan Xuji listened to this, and his heart was troubled.

In the private room on the second floor, a table full of dishes has been placed.

Linjiang Building is built on Jiangxin Island, and leans on the water's edge, and its dishes are mainly aquatic products. The restaurant not only has excellent cooking skills, but also has a unique advantage: the ingredients are fresh! The fishermen caught fish on the river, so they directly rocked the boat to the dock in the backyard of the Linjiang Building and sold it to the building. Fishermen are worry-free, and the riverside building is also convenient, so there is no need to send a comprador to the market to purchase.

So when the cuckoo saw a table full of fish. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Whole Fish Feast? ”

A large round table, on which Daddy Huang and Feng Changshun sat sit. Huang Xiaobao sat next to his grandfather, and down was Huang Yuan, Du Juan, and Huang Li. Then there are Feng and Huang Laoshi, and then Ren Sanhe and Feng Xingye.

Huang Yuan first raised his glass to the elders.

After drinking the first glass of wine, everyone raised their chopsticks and stared at the delicious dishes they fancied. Huang Yuan and Du Juan got up to help the elders carry the dishes that were far away, while introducing; Huang Li was also busy taking care of his father, and the table was harmonious and happy.

Feng Changshun said: "Yuan'er, cuckoo, you also sit down and eat." Leave us alone. We eat what we want to eat ourselves. If you can't reach it, just stand up. Anyway, it's all my own family, and I'm not afraid of losing face. ”

Daddy Huang and the others were busy and persuaded them to sit down and eat.

So Huang Yuan and Du Juan returned to their seats.

Huang Yuan saw that everyone loved steamed mandarin fish, and after a while, there was only a little fish back meat left on the plate, so he gave it to the cuckoo, and smiled at her: "You taste it." If I have eaten, I will not eat it. ”

The cuckoo ate it, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Okay!" ”

Huang Yuan then helped her pick up a piece of multicolored mandarin fish meat. While explaining: "The steamed mandarin fish is called 'plain noodles facing the sky', but this 'colorful mandarin fish' is fried, and then drizzled with their special toppings, which looks brilliant." He took that name. ”

The cuckoo was too busy to pay attention to him, so he finished eating first, and then said to him gratefully, "You can eat too." I'll do it myself. You're so earnest, I can't help it. You might as well go and help Grandpa. ”

Huang Yuan joked: "It's okay! I brought you these two dishes until you had finished eating. I want to ask you. ”

The cuckoo laughed, "But it's okay to ask!" ”

Huang Li interjected: "Brother, don't ask me, I don't have time to deal with you." ”

While bowing his head and fighting with the fish head on the plate.

Because the second sister said that eating fish heads can make you smarter!

Huang Yuan smiled at his little sister and said, "You obviously think I ignored you!" ”

Everyone laughed.

Huang Laoshi and Feng were very happy to see their sisters and brothers like this. They like this kind of liveliness: the babies are noisy, but they are close and harmonious, which is the taste of home. So while eating, I was excited to see what the few of them wanted.

Du Juan urged Huang Yuandao: "Ask quickly, otherwise I won't have time to pay attention to you." ”

I scooped two fish balls with a large spoon and came back.

Huang Yuan coughed and asked, "What do you know?" ”

The cuckoo was deliberately confused, "What do you know?" Whether it's delicious or not, I'll wait until I'm done eating! ”

Huang Yuan hurriedly said: "How can it be done!" Then I didn't take this jade pendant for nothing? ”

The cuckoo wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Our family eats so happily, why is it in vain?" Huang Yuan, don't you regret it, feel sorry for that jade pendant, right? ”

Huang Yuan shook his head, stared at her eyes and said seriously: "Elder Nengbo is happy, not to mention a piece of jade pendant, it is a priceless treasure, and there is nothing to be reluctant to." One of the reasons why I should be this jade pendant is to entertain my relatives. The second is to let you learn the arts. All the signature dishes of this Linjiang Building are here, if you and your little sister have something to gain today, this jade pendant can be regarded as the best use. ”

Huang Xiaobao nodded hurriedly after hearing this, and said, "Du Juan, what Huang Yuan said is right!" This fish tastes so good, you have to learn it, and you can make it for us to eat when you go home. ”

Huang honestly boasted: "That's not easy. We cuckoos only need to look at the dishes made by others, and we can make them with a turn of our heads. ”

Feng Changshun hurriedly asked, "But really, cuckoo?" ”

The cuckoo was amused by his father and said, "Dad, don't brag too much. ”

Facing Huang Yuandao: "It's certain that you have gained something, but it is difficult to learn." ”

Everyone stopped their chopsticks and asked what was going on.

Du Juan said: "For example, steamed mandarin fish, I can definitely make it, and I guarantee that it is not worse than what they make, but the taste may not be the same; And this colorful mandarin fish, I can also fry it until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and then pour it with my own sauce, and the taste will not be worse than theirs, but if I want to do something like them, I can't. ”

Huang Yuan asked, "You can't eat what ingredients they put in?" ”

Du Juan shook his head and smiled: "Brother, although this cooking is a small way and does not enter the eyes of scholars, the reason is the same. It is said that 'reading more than 10,000 volumes, writing like a god.' 'A truly talented person, when he writes, will only integrate the ten thousand books, regenerate all kinds of insights into life, and make articles and verses, even if he cannot surpass his predecessors, he must be unique and self-contained! ”

When Huang Yuan heard this, he immediately smiled.

“…… For example, there are many articles and poems describing the moon, but Chen Ziang in the Tang Dynasty wrote "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", which overwhelmed the whole Tang Dynasty with a single article, which was written in his own heart. If you blindly learn from others, it will be difficult to write. Although the moon is the same in ancient and modern times, the people who look at it are different, the mood is also different, the life experience is different, the time is different, the place is different, and the moon seen in the eyes is of course different, so the words and phrases must be unique......"

Huang Yuan was shocked, and he already understood what she wanted to say.

Cuckoo knew he understood, but went on to explain, "It's the same with cooking. Even if I eat these dishes, I can't make them taste the same. "The origin of the fish is different, the ingredients are different, the seasoning is made by different people, the firewood and heat are different, the water used is also different, and the chef is the last ......."

The crowd's eyes widened at the hearing.

Especially Feng, she has been cooking for decades, but she is unheard of.

Huang Xiaobao hurriedly said: "I know." According to the cuckoo, you can only make the same fish if you use their pots in their kitchens and let their people help you make a fire? ”

Cuckoo shook his head and said, "That can't be done!" The toppings of the multicolored mandarin fish alone, no matter what ingredients I used to eat it, I couldn't make it exactly the same. - Every family in our village dries the sauce every year, whose sauce does it taste exactly the same in the two families? ”

Huang Li immediately said: "My family makes the most delicious." And my aunt's house. ”

The cuckoo shook his head and asked rhetorically, "It's not good to my mother's family?" A lot of older grandmothers make it delicious. When I asked her, she couldn't make sense. To put it simply, it is her craftsmanship; To put it more profoundly, it is the experience she has accumulated for many years, and her life experience! It's hard for others to learn. ”

After the last, she said: "So I ate this meal, I can learn from one or two, and there is no need to imitate them." First, stealing someone's reputation is not good, second, it's not easy to steal, and third, stealing someone's loss of their own characteristics, purely harming others and not benefiting themselves, so why bother? ”

Huang Yuan stood up, gave her a deep look, and said with a smile: "Listening to the words of the second sister is better than reading for ten years!" ”

He smiled on his face, but he was very serious in his heart.

He had heard such a scene a few times, all when Cuckoo was teaching Lin Chun. At this point, he concluded that Lin Chun's uniqueness was definitely influenced by the cuckoo.

The cuckoo smiled and said, "Of course! ”

Huang Yuan saw that she was happy and in a good mood, so he poured her a glass of wine, and said to Huang Xiaobao: "Let's have a drink with brothers and sisters." ”

Huang Xiaobao couldn't ask for it, and immediately raised his glass, "Okay!" ”

The cuckoo and the yellow bird also raised their glasses at the same time, and said crisply: "Dry!" ”

Everyone looked at them and laughed.

Ren Sanhe kept looking at the cuckoo and smiled, and when they had drunk it, he raised his glass to Huang Yuan and said, "Come, it's hard for you to be a jade pendant and have a drink with your little uncle." ”

Huang Yuan hurriedly stood up and drank respectfully.

Then, he replied that Uncle Xie had worked hard for his own affairs.

came and went, and the two aunts and nephews had three or five glasses of wine.

Daddy Huang was secretly proud when he saw it. He knew that Ren Sanhe didn't look down on the Huang family, and drinking like this with his grandson today showed that Huang Yuan had entered his eyes. As soon as he was in a good mood, he also drank with Feng Changshun.

For a while, everyone was allowed to eat and drink.

His siblings were fighting and frolicking.

Feng always stopped the cuckoo and the yellow bird from drinking more.

Ren Sanhe was rarely tolerant, and said: "It's all my own family, let them drink." After eating, I went back to the inn. I'll catch the car later, and they just don't show up. ”

Feng Shi said worriedly: "Don't you go back and teach the inn cook?" ”

Huang Yuan said with a smile: "Mother, you are an official of the imperial court, and there are still a few days of rest in January, not to mention the second sister and apprentice." He grinned at the cuckoo and said, "You didn't guess the mystery just now, why don't you drink it?" ”

He blushed from drinking, and watched the cuckoo's gaze become warmer and warmer like water. (To be continued......)
