13 Meat buns
Xiao Lu was already waiting for her in the study of Zhuxin Pavilion, the big study opened up three rooms, on one side of the south window was a few large painting cases, which were filled with all kinds of pigments, pen and ink, the Bogu shelf in the corner of the wall was full of various paint boxes, and several blue and white porcelain jars on the ground were all painting scrolls and various papers, and his little scholar Bai Zhou was washing the pen and collecting the scrolls.
There are also a few windows on the north wall, and there is a bed under the window, and next to the couch is a standard bookcase, and on top of it is a half-written piece of rice paper. There is also a small space in the corner next to the bookcase, where there is a small bookcase and pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc., which are exactly the same as her study, and Bai Zhou also intimately cut a stack of paper for her.
There are no bookshelves in the whole study, and the objects are placed casually, not at all irregular, in Gu Ci's eyes, it is simply full of decadent and messy artist atmosphere, but seeing Xiao Lu smiling in a plain white shirt, there is no sense of abruptness in this room where there is no bookish luxury at all, and I feel that it should be so.
Xiao Lu, who had white eyebrows and snow beards, took the baby little granddaughter, and the fairy fan disappeared all of a sudden, and said with a smile: "Knowing that you want to learn calligraphy, you must not read more than one hour a day, and you can draw twenty red sheets." Don't be greedy, you know? ”
"Yes, Master!"
"This is the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text" and "Disciple Rules", memorize and then write every day in the future, and when you have learned these four books, the master will let you choose the books you want to read, okay?"
"Okay." Gu Ci obediently went to sit down in front of his small bookcase.
Xiao Lu did not teach her to hold a pen first, but corrected her sitting posture and how to keep her back straight, and sat quietly for a quarter of an hour before holding her hand to practice grinding ink, reciting a passage of the "Three Character Classic" while grinding. After memorizing it, she took a red letter notebook, which was the paragraph of the book she had just memorized, and asked her to practice with her fingers as 'book empty'. After waiting for the order of her strokes to be correct, he took her to the big bookcase, personally hand-wrote it to her, and then put her back to the small desk to practice ten times by herself. Take the homework ten times, circle her to write well, explain in detail the weight, speed and slowness, start and end of each word, and practice ten times to close the pen.
After practicing the words, Xiao Lu also told her all kinds of interesting stories in today's "Three Character Classic", he himself has a wide range of experience and knowledge, whether it is the old allusions of the ancients, or the gossip of the present, they are all at his fingertips.
For example, the story of 'Meng's mother's three moves', Gu Ci remembered the new solution on the Internet, so he deliberately asked, why didn't Meng's mother move to the side of the school at one time, how could she not know that the butcher was noisy as a neighbor? Xiao Lu told her that Father Meng was a young man, and he left his wife and child to study and died, and the family was very poor.
Gu Ci listened to it with relish, and asked and sighed from time to time, which was very supportive. Xiao Lao Fairy looked at his granddaughter with a pair of beautiful big eyes full of admiration, and he also had a sense of accomplishment. It wasn't until Ganquan came over with a food box that he interrupted the two.
Seeing the skewers of dim sum in the food box, Xiao Lu was quite interested, and after eating a string of tofu skewers, he felt that it was really convenient, and immediately solemnly instructed Bai Zhou that in the future, during his desk period, he would eat like this, and he could feed him directly, and never interrupt his literary thoughts and paintings again.
Gu Ci was silent, thinking that the food was solved, and whether the drinking was also inconvenient for the master, so he asked, "Master, how do you drink tea when you paint?" ”
"Very little, I was so thirsty that I went to the next door to drink a pot. I'm afraid of getting wet in the house. ”
"Do you want to prepare a cup with a straw for you, just suck whatever you want to drink."
"Oh? Let's take a look. ”
"Is there a craftsman? Copper or carpenter. "Porcelain is fragile, copper or wood should be fine.
"Bai Zhou, go and invite Aqing."
After a while, a middle-aged man in his thirties came, with a dark complexion, wearing a bamboo blue brocade robe, his eyes were exquisite, and after the salute, he looked at Gu Ci with a slightly moved look, and Gu Ci smiled sweetly at him when he saw this.
"Ah Luan, this is Xie Qing, and now he is the head of the Xie family's industry," Xiao Lu introduced her: "Ah Qing, it's the first time you've seen Ah Luan." ”
"What Yu Gong said is that if the county lord does not come to Jitai, there will be a blessing in the future."
Xiao Lu, the word Yu rule, Xie Qing was his companion when he was a child, even if Xiao Lu became a monk, he still insisted on the old name.
"Hello Uncle Qing." Gu Ci has a good impression of this kind-faced uncle, and he seems to be a very reliable professional manager.
"The county lord has tormented the old slave and doesn't dare to be it."
"You don't have to be humble. Come, sit down and try Ah Luan's dim sum drumming. ”
Xiao Qing sat down under the two of them, and was full of praise when he saw all kinds of skewers, and he ate happily.
After the three of them finished eating, Gu Ci directly asked Xie Qingti, "Uncle Qing, I want to make a few cups with straws, wood or copper." ”
"The county lord will tell the old slave in detail?"
The straw is easy to handle, that is, a large cup that can be sealed without sprinkling water may have to use a threaded mouth, which is a bit laborious to explain. However, after all, people are professionals who are familiar with all industries, and when they understand the meaning of threads, they write and draw on paper, and after several modifications, they are basically the same. A large cylindrical cup with a lid that can be tightened, a hole for inserting a straw on the lid, an oblique incision at the lower end of the straw, and a handle is added intimately. Make the wood first, carve it quickly, and the copper can be inlaid with porcelain inside, and then send it when it is done.
Xie Qing felt that this was indeed a good thing, better than a water bladder was that it could make tea, and it was convenient to put it in the car, not afraid of dumping. Gu Ci immediately thought of adding a lid or a tether to the straw like a sports kettle, and then the two began to discuss various styles enthusiastically.
Xiao Lu watched the first year of the novel with great interest, and he didn't mean to stop it at all.
After finalizing the final shape of the water cup, Gu Ci looked at the master who was silently drinking tea on the side, and pounced on her coquettishly flatteringly, "Master." Uncle Qing is so powerful. ”
"I'll tell Aqing what I want to do in the future," Xiao Lu hugged her dotingly, "Aqing, you just tell the outside world what I mean." I don't want anyone else to know about this, out of this house. ”
Xie Qing replied solemnly and retreated.
Gu Ci asked a little curtly, "Master, will I cause you trouble?" ”
"Ah Luan is still young, how can he get into trouble," Xiao Lu comforted, "Master doesn't want people to know that it was your idea for the time being, so it's better to prevent trouble." ”
"I understand, and I don't want anyone to know."
"Oh? Ah Luan doesn't want to be as famous as Wu Niang? ”
"Not at all."
"Although this is a small thing, it is also a good thing to make it convenient for others."
"Well, I'll tell Master what I want to do in the future."
Gu Ci's trust and dependence made Xiao Lu very proud, "Do whatever you want, don't worry about anything else." ”
"Master, you're going to spoil a child!"
"Pampered. If something happens, Master can also suppress you! ”
Give a thumbs up to the domineering master!
Taking advantage of the fact that the master was in a good mood after eating and drinking, Gu Ci remembered the matter of Yuan Yi explained by his mother, so he said: "Master, when I entered the palace, I invited my seventh cousin to come to my house to play. ”
“…… Bring it to me. Xiao Lu's expression was slightly restrained, "Speaking of which, you should also thank Brother Yuan." Before you were born, someone gave him an uncommon poison, so the Queen Mother urgently summoned me back to Beijing. Later, although it was a false alarm, Shun Teng found out that your nurse had a problem, so he could treat you in time. If you drag on for a few more months, your eyes and throat will not be able to recover. ”
"Why didn't you tell me before, I didn't thank him properly?"
"You've come to help him as a lobbyist, and he should thank you."
"Then you promised too happily to show my efforts."
"Eat people with a soft mouth, and take people with short hands."
"You can be a little more upright next time."
"Oh? Then what do you want to ask for, you have to pay blood. ”
"No problem, I'm the one with a small coffer."
The grandparents and grandchildren had a great time and were very happy.
***********************
After dinner, the three elder brothers ate the love skewers specially made by Gu Ci for Gu Yi, and they strongly demanded equal treatment with jealousy and hatred.
Gu Yi said pitifully: "Seventh Brother has to get up early every day, drink hot porridge and go out, and before he arrives at the meal, he is so hungry that he can't hold a pen." ”
"No dim sum in Gongxue?"
"If you don't like to eat, you'll be hungry."
This is true, it is inconvenient for Seventh Brother to order food in the palace.
Gu Chong is also very active in fighting for rights and interests: "It's just that my father sometimes asks me to go to the military department to do pen-style work, but he doesn't let anyone take care of my lunch, and the meat is not enough." ”
Gu Ci glanced at Ye Ye, who was staring at Gu Chong with a flat face next to him, and thought that the third brother was thrown by his father, who was also the general of Zhenbei, to be called by the military department, so that the people in the military department looked at him unpleasantly, so that he was deducted from eating?
Gu Ao said very implicitly that after not living in Cining Palace, the food standard dropped sharply and needed to be supplemented.
Gu Ci, who was fooled by the group, looked at his mother very worriedly, "Mother, can our family send food to my brothers?" ”
Will it seem to look down on the imperial chef?
Yuyi was already overjoyed, and scolded her three sons with a smile: "Pure nonsense, can the palace still treat you harshly?" When is the Queen Mother short of days, do you eat and drink? Let the family send it, it's not enough for the gang of boys in Gongxue to take a bite out of each person. ”
"If you don't bring it in, can you eat before class starts? It's a long time to get from home to the palace gate. ”
"They ride horses, and it's not convenient to take them." Gu Yao glared at his three sons again.
"Just get an oiled paper wrap and eat it in a few bites."
"Ming'er has enough steamed buns in the morning, just bring them casually." Yuyi also teased her daughter.
"The steamed buns are too dry and there is no meat."
"Then bring buns."
"Flowing soup, dirty laundry."
"There are also snacks that don't dry or soup."
"Dim sum is not hungry!" Gu Ciyi sternly refuted them one by one, and simply summoned Ganquan to hide while quietly teaching Ji Yi, "Ganquan, you go and tell the kitchen, let them bake a few cakes that are scorched on the outside and soft on the inside, cut half of the opening, chop up the braised beef or pork belly, sprinkle with sesame seeds, wrap it in blanched cabbage leaves, put it in the cake, wrap it in oiled paper and send it over." By the way, order a few more dishes, one with some minced cucumber or water chestnut, one with some spicy seeds, and one with more garlic and coriander. ”
The parents and the master ate lightly, the meat was not much, the second brother loved refreshing, the third brother loved spicy, and the seventh brother had a heavy taste.
Ganquan took the order and left. Everyone in the room watched Xiao Douding busy with interest, and Gu Xi was very complacent: "It's still my sister's caring." ”
Yuyi pretended to be angry with a tiger face: "You little girl has the idea of hitting the kitchen again?" ”
Gu Ci turned around and threw himself into Gu Yao's arms: "Mother, you said last time that Ye Ye eats in the palace at a fixed time, and you can also bring it when you are ready, and you can eat a few for a meal." ”
"Is it really that good?"
"That's it."
Dayu Dynasty version of meat sandwich buns.
The finished product was sent over after a while, seven or eight meat buns were divided into different bowls according to taste, one was half the size of a palm, there were vegetables and meat, the leaves were crisp and delicious, the dough was full of soup and was even more fragrant, although several people had eaten dinner, but they still couldn't help but finish eating a cake.
"What Ah Luan came up with is really delicious." Gu Yao was very touched by his daughter's heart, and ate two of them very face-saving.
"It's really hungry, and it's easy to carry." Several boys who are in the age of gluttony are full of praise for this.
Gu Ci and Yuyi shared one, and Gu Ci wiped his mouth while instructing: "Ganquan, don't forget to send a few to the master, ask for more dishes." ”
