Chapter 696: Wudang

"Softening the ......" In an instant, Zhang Yaoyun let out a soft voice, blessed to the soul, and suddenly brightened: "I understand!" ”

She really understood, understood the dishes she cooked, why she could only score nines. Strictly speaking, her food is fine, but she ignores the age of Guyue Jushi.

Gu Yue Jushi is old, although she has health skills, but due to the laws of nature, her teeth and taste buds have somewhat deteriorated, but the gold and jade she makes are completely made according to the standards of middle-aged and young people, and it is very chewy.

This chewy point must not cost much for Fang Yuan and Xiong Mao, so the two of them quickly finished eating and were amazed. But for Guyue Jushi, it needs to be chewed slowly, so it is necessary to be slow before giving an evaluation. The nine points given by Gu Yue, as well as Zhang's usual echo, are not aimed at the taste of this dish, but have the meaning of a few laborers outside the poem.

"Gee, I should have prepared two servings of sashimi." Zhang Yaoyun said remorsefully, and couldn't help but tap her forehead.

"Looks like you really get it." Zhang usually has some praise, but more criticism: "Your grandfather's study has a couplet hanging." What is the content of the couplet, do you remember? ”

"The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article." Zhang Yaoyun said softly, her eyes rippling.

"You knew the content of the couplet before, but you probably didn't understand the true meaning of the couplet." Zhang usually taught: "Now you have feelings and experiences, right? ”

"A little." Zhang Yaoyun bowed her head and said, very well-behaved.

"Hmm." Zhang Ping nodded slowly: "Although I have said it many times, I will continue to say it again now." We are chefs. The chef industry must not be self-centered. ”

"We are the ones who serve. It is mainly to meet the needs of guests. Even if it is the same dish, no matter how delicious it is, not everyone will be satisfied. And we don't need everyone to be satisfied, as long as the person who eats the dish is satisfied, he is a successful chef. ”

Zhang Ping said meaningfully: "One trick is fresh, eat all over the world, that's just a legend." You try stir-frying a plate of Sichuan cuisine for a guest who is accustomed to Huaiyang cuisine from snacks. Do you think he will slap the table and curse? In the same way, you give the old man who has lost all his teeth a whole plate of hoof tendons to see if he will beat you with a cane......"

"Usually. Are you referring to Sang scolding Huai? Gu Yue Jushi scolded with a smile: "Are you sarcastically saying that I am old and almost toothless?" ”

"Oh, layman, how dare I." Zhang usually confessed again and again: "It's my mouth that owes." Penalties! ”

"It's the punishment. However, you can't drink alcohol. Gu Yue said with a smile: "You must be punished for drinking, and you can't do what you want." If I want to punish you for cooking, Xianyou Sanbao only made one, and the remaining two must be tasted by Master Fang and Boss Xiong. ”

"That's right." Fang Yuan and Xiong Mao naturally nodded again and again.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Zhang Ping readily agreed, immediately rolled up his sleeves, and made two dishes at the same time. A dish of braised fish, and a dish of fish soup. Chef makes a move. Naturally, it is extraordinary, not to mention that this is also the signature dish of Xianyou Fang. Needless to say, the taste is not too much.

All in all, under the hospitality of Zhang Pingping's father and daughter, Fang Yuan and the others ate very happily, and it was not until it was late that they left Xianyoufang and returned to the hotel to rest.

After a night of silence, the next morning, the three of them got up.

When I woke up early in the morning, everyone was in a daze and had no energy. They said hello to each other weakly and went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast. After eating a steaming breakfast, filling their stomachs, and feeling a lot warmer all over their bodies, the three of them had the interest to chat.

"Layman, should we go directly to Wudang Mountain to see the situation now, or should we go to visit your friends?" Xiong Mao asked, and wiped his mouth with a banknote, indicating that the problem had been solved.

"It's the same." Gu Yue Jushi smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you, that friend of mine lives in a Taoist temple on Wudang Mountain now. ”

"What?" Fang Yuan was a little surprised: "Layman, your friend has also become a monk and cultivated?" ”

"Almost." Gu Yue Jushi nodded and said, "It's not enough to become a monk, but I am indeed cultivating." However, it is also a matter of recent years, and he feels tired of staying at home, so he simply goes to the mountains to live in Taoist temples for a long time. Usually follow the Taoist temple in the mage to meditate and practice qi, Jiao fasting and sacrifice, but also quite comfortable. ”

However, he was not a real Taoist priest after all, and he failed to see through the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death. Some time ago, an old mage who often took him to meditate and practice feathered, and he was inevitably a little touched, and he planned to start thinking about the future......"

Gu Yue shook his head and sighed lightly: "The rabbit is sad when the fox dies, and things hurt its kind, and people can understand it if they are of the same mind." ”

"yes." Fang Yuan and Xiong Mao nodded unconsciously.

At this moment, Gu Yue received a phone call, and after chatting for a few words, he smiled and said, "Let's leave when everyone is full, Yaoyun has come to pick us up." ”

Fang Yuan and Xiong Mao naturally had no opinion, wiped their mouths and followed Gu Yue Jushi out of the hotel. At this moment, a very domineering wide-body luxury car stopped at the door, and the window fell, revealing Zhang Yaoyun's fair and beautiful face.

"Click." Zhang Yaoyun pushed open the car door and beckoned with a smile: "Layman, come up." ”

"Here we are." Gu Yue walked over and said with a smile: "Yaoyun, so early?" ”

"Layman, do you mean to say I'm late?" Zhang Yaoyun smiled and said, "I know that you usually get up at dawn, about five or six o'clock." But I was very busy last night, and I didn't sleep until the early hours of the morning, so I couldn't get up that early. And I'm the only one who is up, and my dad is still asleep. ”

"I'm telling the truth, how can you over-interpret it." Gu Yue Jushi laughed, and then sat in the passenger seat. As for Fang Yuan and Xiong Mao, they naturally got into the seats in the back row.

As soon as the car door closed, Zhang Yaoyun immediately drove away. She drove very steadily, not fast or slow, and while paying attention to the road conditions, she said with a smile: "Layman, come here this time, how many days do you plan to stay?" ”

"It's not good, it depends on the situation." Gu Yue Jushi smiled and said, "What, are you not welcoming me and are in a hurry to let me go back?" ”

"No, you can't slander me." Zhang Yaoyun's eyes were pretty: "It's just that I feel that you seem to have something to hide from me and don't let me know ......"

"You're thinking too much." Gu Yue Jushi said lightly: "What can we hide from you? ”

"Really?" Zhang Yaoyun's eyes showed suspicion.

"Not really." Gu Yue's smile was the same, but he turned around and diverted the topic: "Master Fang, it's almost time to Wudang Mountain, what do you think of the external environment under the mountain?" ”

"Very good." Fang Yuan praised: "The greening is good. ”

"Master Fang, isn't your answer a bit perfunctory?" Xiong Mao shook his head and said: "It's just a good greenery, but there is no actual dry goods." ”

"Boss Xiong is right." Gu Yue thought deeply: "Master Fang wants to be lazy again, this is not good." ”

"It's not that I don't want to say, it's mainly along the road, as if you are looking at the flowers, what can you see?" Fang Yuan explained: "Besides, this is a Taoist holy place, and the ancients have always relied on it very much, how can the environment be bad? Even if there are any defects, after the transformation of successive dynasties, it has been perfected. ”

"That's true." Gu Yue Jushi agreed: "When Emperor Yongle overhauled Wudang Mountain, the project was huge and the cost was huge, which can be compared with the Forbidden City in the capital. ”

"It is said that 300,000 military and civilian craftsmen fought here and repaired for more than ten years before this huge project was completed." Xiong Mao said with interest: "Historical records record that the palace and Taoist temple on Wudang Mountain are completely built in accordance with the shape of the Forbidden City, so there is also a saying that the Forbidden City is on the cliff, is this true?" ”

"Naturally, it's true." Gu Yue Jushi nodded and said, "Before Emperor Yongle decided to start the construction of Wudang Mountain, he also sent people over for a field investigation and learned in detail about the topography of the mountains here, as well as the astrological feng shui conditions. ”

With a detailed investigation report, and then carefully designed by the court master craftsmen at that time, making full use of the tall and majestic peaks and the strange seclusion of the cliff caves, the layout is ingenious, and each palace is built in a suitable position between the peaks and caves. When the palace buildings of each mountain peak are completed, it looks like a fairyland from a distance, which is very magnificent and mysterious. ”

Between speaking, Gu Yue Jushi sighed lightly: "It's a pity that due to various reasons, some buildings have been damaged by Yan zhòng, and they are no longer the grand occasion of the past. ”

"Layman, natural and man-made disasters are inevitable, don't worry about it." Fang Yuan said with relief: "Besides, the ancient buildings of the past dynasties were destroyed and rebuilt, built and destroyed, and the cycle repeatedly, which can be regarded as a law." ”

"Makes sense." Xiong Mao echoed: "Some of the buildings that are being restored now, in a few tens or hundreds of years, will be veritable ancient buildings, and there seems to be no difference in essence. ”

The three of them chatted and chatted, and the car stopped.

"Here we are." Zhang Yaoyun signaled: "Next, I can only go up on foot." ”

"It's better." Gu Yue said with a smile: "Since it is a pilgrimage, then walking is more sincere. ”

"That's it, that's it." Bear Trade is in favor.

After a few people got off the bus, they looked around and found that although it was morning, there were many tourists who came to Wudang Mountain to visit and travel, burn incense and worship God. This is also understandable, after all, tomorrow is March 3, the birthday of Emperor Zhenwu.

As we all know, Wudang Mountain is the dojo of the Emperor Zhenwu, the original name is Taihe Mountain, and later the Emperor Zhenwu ascended here, the world feels that this mountain is not enough to be the real martial arts, so it was renamed Wudang Mountain.

In short, in the Wudang Taoist building, the main worship of the deity is the Zhenwu Emperor, on the day of the Zhenwu Emperor's birthday, the Taoist priest on the mountain held a grand ceremony, naturally attracting a large number of believers to visit and worship.

"It's so lively." Xiong Mao said with great interest: "It's much more lively than I imagined." ”

"After all, Taoism is a local religion, and Wudang Mountain is one of the birthplaces of the famous Taoism, so the religious atmosphere is naturally relatively strong, and I heard that a grand festival will be held, and there must be a lot of people who come here to burn incense and pray for blessings......"
