Liu Li patted his shoulder and said, "I'm carrying it on my shoulder!" When walking the rivers and lakes, you have the inheritance of a generation of earth masters, maybe you don't understand the meaning of the word 'inheritance', that's why I appeared, otherwise how can you have such good luck to talk with my old man? …… The gold plaque on the door is just a symbol, and the thing it symbolizes is the wealth that really belongs to people, after a hundred years of Chef Cui, can this restaurant still afford to hang this plaque, what do you think to see? ”

The old man's expression was rarely excited, and You Fang hurriedly interrupted: "I have read the plaque, I have also remembered the teachings of my predecessors, can I eat?" To be honest, the juniors are really hungry. ”

When I entered the hotel, I found that the plaque outside the door was really not written by the store itself, and the same piece was hung in the middle of the lobby, but there were more headers and inscriptions on it. The title is "The 70th Anniversary of Mr. He Cui Yiqing's Cooking", and the inscription is "Gift from Jinan Cuisine Association, 2007.9".

There is no table for dinner here, and the private room must be booked in advance, but after entering the door, Liu Li and the waiter said hello, and led You Fang upstairs into a small private room - he had already booked the room before he came, and the dishes were ordered. You Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly again, he thought he was running happily, but he didn't know that every move was under Liu Li's control, and even where and what to eat at noon today was decided.

Liu Li ordered four dishes and one soup, all four dishes are special Lu dishes, and they are all meat: nine turns of large intestine, fried double crispy, slippery fried loin shreds, and carp jumping over the dragon gate. These are not dishes suitable for the elderly, I really didn't expect the old man to have such a good appetite at his age! The soup is a little lighter, and the name is bird's nest soup, but the ingredients are mainly egg drops and sea vegetables.

When the carp was served, Liu Li frowned slightly and muttered: "The knife work is a little second." ”

You Fang persuaded: "With your old experience, you are naturally well-informed, I don't know what concept you mean by good knife work, but this restaurant is not very expensive for ordinary people, and you don't look at the price?" This dish is thirty-eight yuan, what money and what goods, do you still expect the chef to make the knife work of the imperial meal? You can't just look at other people's signs, but also see how much money he makes you pay! ”

Liu Li smiled: "That's right, when did you kid understand this truth?" ”

You Fang: "I understood it when I was a child when I was fiddling with porcelain. ”

Liu Li was stunned with chopsticks: "Fiddling with porcelain? Is your family tradition more than just Feng Shui? ”

You Fang accidentally said that he missed his mouth, and it happened that at this time, the fried double crispy was served, and the main ingredients were pork belly and chicken gizzards cut into patterns and stir-fried, he changed the topic and said: "Well, the knife work of this dish is good, better than just now." ”

Liu Li stretched out his hand to pick up the vegetables: "You have to eat it while it's hot, it's crispy and cold, and it won't taste good...... Be careful with hot mouths. ”

The effort was not great, all the wine and food were served, the waiter closed the door, and only one old and one young were left in the private room. Liu Li took a sip of wine, put away his smile, and said unhurriedly with a cup: "Young man, you hid for two days and traveled thousands of miles from Hebei to Shandong. My old man is still playing hide and seek with you at such an old age, and now there should be an explanation. There's no one else here, you say, why do you want to kill the mad fox? ”

After all, he couldn't hide from what he should have come, You Fang put down his chopsticks, and his thoughts sank into his memories-

……

You Fang was born in a village called Baimayi in Henan Province, which is said to have been a post station in ancient times, and there was a white horse in the post station, hence the name. There were restaurants and shops around this post station, and gradually developed into a market town, which was once very prosperous, but it was abandoned at the end of the Ming Dynasty because of the war, and it is said that the army of King Li Zicheng destroyed this market town when he crossed the border. In the next few hundred years, it became a village again, and the old people would mention such a legend when they mentioned the name of the village.

Unlike ordinary villages, which are dominated by single-surname clans, Baimayi is a village with mixed surnames, including those surnamed Li, Niu, and Ma. When it comes to the White Horse Post Youjia, I have to mention an old lady who is famous in the local area, she is You Fang's grandmother Mo Sigu.

Mo Sigu was married to the White Horse Station shortly after the liberation, You Fang's great-grandfather was a private school in the countryside in his early years, and Mo Sigu married to the You family because her husband was knowledgeable and gentle and elegant. When she was young, she was not ordinarily strong, she was stronger than men in terms of physique, and she knew kung fu, she could play with knives, guns, swords, halberds, and seven or eight strong guys with a hoe.

Mo Sigu is not like an ordinary rural woman, not only can she speak well, can fight and make trouble, but also does not be afraid of any scenes. Although she is tough outside, she marries her husband with her husband, is very filial to her in-laws at home, and never wields a knife or a gun in front of some weak husbands, and she is also a good hand at doing housework well.

Mo Sigu first showed his "might" during the "anti-rightist" period, when various movements continued throughout the country, and the wave also spread to Baimayi in the countryside of Henan. Who will be branded as a rightist in this village? Of course, it was Mo Sigu's father-in-law and Mr. Private School in the old society who bore the brunt.

Mrs. You had a hunch and hid at home all day long, but she almost didn't dodge. One night, Niu Xiangdong, the village party secretary of Baimayi, Ma Weihong, the accountant, and Li Yuanchao, the militia captain, held a meeting with their lamps in their hands, planning to mobilize the revolutionary masses to criticize the old lady You the next day.

Just halfway through the discussion, suddenly the lights flashed, and Mo Sigu broke into the door, with a heavy axe in her left hand and a snowy sickle in her right hand. The three people in the room were shocked, Niu Xiangdong and Ma Weihong all shrank into the corner, and only the militia captain had the courage to ask: "Old Youjia, you are so bold, you dare to break into the court privately!" Didn't you see the village leaders in a meeting? ”

Mo Sigu was very calm and did not answer, and pointed at Niu Xiangdong with a sickle and said: "When you were a child, you passed on to your uncle, and later your uncle had a son, and your father took you home." I'm afraid you don't know that when the devil crossed the Yellow River, the Kuomintang blew up the mouth of the garden, and your uncle led the way for the devil. ”

Niu Xiangdong's face turned black all of a sudden, and he pounced and cried: "Brother and sister, you can't talk nonsense without injustice or hatred!" Back then, they were all forced by bayonets, and later the Red Army beat devils, and my uncle also led the way for the Red Army, and he also won a certificate! ”

Mo Sigu's expression was awe-inspiring: "Oh? You can explain it to the revolutionary masses in this way, why should you be afraid of me talking nonsense? I have just heard what you said in the house, what is the grudge between my husband's family and you? After finishing speaking, he no longer paid attention to Niu Xiangdong, and the axe shook at Ma Weihong and said: "When Beiyang was in power, your Ma family opened a green building in the city, specializing in killing the majority of women!" That family was passed on to your father from your grandfather, your father eats, drinks, gambles, smokes and loses all the family property, and after liberation, your family is a poor peasant, don't think that your roots are red, be careful of the revolutionary masses turning over old accounts! ”

Ma Weihong was frightened, came over and pulled her clothes and begged: "Big sister, what year are these old yellow calendars, are you good at keeping your virtues?" ”

Seeing this scene, Li Yuanchao was also dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but Mo Sigu sneered at him again: "Captain Li, you only have one daughter, married to my mother's Mo Jiayuan, and have already given birth to two sons, the eldest and second sons are very good, who do you expect to provide for you in the future?" …… What good will it do you to offend Mo Jiayuan's people for no reason? ”

After saying this, Mo Sigu slammed the door and left. Don't really say it, after the wind and waves were calm, Mrs. You escaped. In the subsequent movements, Mo Sigu became prosperous in the village, and was elected by the villagers to be the women's director for a period of time. This matter was originally secret, and it was not until many years later that You Fang's father, You Zuming, drank too much and said that he leaked his mouth, and You Fang knew that his grandmother still had such a "glorious deed".

During the ten years of turmoil, there was a time when the Red Guards in the city raided their homes and affected the countryside. Many of the antiquities of the big families in the old society were copied out, smashed and smashed, or secretly thrown away as garbage. At that time, Mo Sigu showed a different vision, and took her young son to go out to pick up the rags when he was free, and almost all the garbage heaps in the nearby county town were rummaged through, and the torn calligraphy and paintings, broken porcelain pieces, and broken bottles and cans were all picked up and piled up in the vegetable cellar.

At that time, no one took these rags for good, and no one paid attention to a rural woman taking her children to pick up the garbage heap. In the early eighties, not long after the reform and opening up, Mo Sigu instructed his son to contract a small kiln factory in the village.

At the beginning of the kiln factory to produce ordinary bricks and tiles, just in time for the good times in the 80s, there were many people who built new houses, and they could sell as much as they produced, and the first pot of gold of Youjia was accumulated. After saving a sum of money in his hand, Mo Sigu instructed his son to build a new kiln with ancient methods, this time it was not to burn bricks, but to imitate all kinds of ancient porcelain, and specially invited a few old craftsmen from Jingdezhen in the south to do guidance.

As an adult, You Zuming is already a very experienced expert in cultural relics appreciation and a master of imitation. When he was a child, Mo Sigu led him to pick up those broken copper jars and broken porcelain paintings, on the one hand, taught him how to restore antiquities, and on the other hand, let him practice how to identify and imitate - this requires a lot of physical objects to be eyed and repeatedly compared.

When You Fang was a child, his father teased him, not with cars and dolls, but with various types of ancient porcelain pieces from previous dynasties, teaching him to see the glaze, fetal quality, ornamentation, shaping style, and even broke to see the new stubble. You Fang's "family studies" are not only ceramics, but also include jade, gold and stone, calligraphy and painting, bamboo, wood and tooth horns and other miscellaneous antique appreciation.

Looking back on the past, You Fang sometimes even suspects that grandma is the time-traveler mentioned in the novel, how can she have such a forward-looking vision? In fact, Mo Sigu is the descendant of the Eight Gates of the Jianghu Gate, and she understands all kinds of Jianghu doorways, so as to protect the family and benefit the descendants.

There is a Mogong River not far from Baimayi, and there is a village on the other side of the river called Mojiayuan, from which Mo Sigu got married. When You Fang was a teenager, the business of the kiln factory in his family was booming, and his parents were too busy to watch him.

In villages dominated by single-surname clans, people are often ranked by generation, and most of the people of the same generation are cousins rather than necessarily brothers. As for women, in the old society, they often didn't even have an official name, but they had only one title, for example, You Fang's grandmother's household registration was written on Mo Sigu.

Uncle Mo Zhengqian was a fortune teller who walked the rivers and lakes in his early years, and now he is the abbot of a Taoist temple, and he is not often in Mojiayuan. The second uncle, Mo Shenshou, was a Jianghu Langzhong in his early years, and now he is a "highly respected" old expert in traditional Chinese medicine. The third uncle, Mo Zhengxin, went to the rivers and lakes to perform in his early years, and now he also has the title of folk performing artist.

Mo Zhengjin, the fifth uncle who is the closest to Youfang, was a feng shui master in his early years, and now he is also a well-known local residential environment scholar. As for Aunt Qi, she is called Mo Qigu, she married into the city in her early years, and she has a son who is also You Fang's distant cousin named Liu Yin, and now she is doing the business of "applying for certificates", and several of You Fang's ID cards were given to him by his cousin Liu Yin, including the one named "You Fang".

You Fang's real name is You Chengfang, and he also has a sister named You Chengyuan.

Mo Jiayuan's elders are not young now, and almost all of their "business" are handed over to their children and grandchildren to take care of.

Some people may say that the Mo family was originally a den of liars, as long as they come out to mix, they are all big liars. This also makes sense, but You Fang understands it more deeply, Jianghu has always been "sharp" and "li", "li" refers to various Jianghu means, and "sharp" refers to the real knowledge, such as You Fang's grandmother Mo Sigu, that is a really doorway person, you can't just look at the surface.

Mo Jiayuan, these Jianghu people, claim to be the inheritance of the "Eight Gates of Jianghu", and they have learned the eight gates of "Surprise, Fatigue, Floating, Book, Wind, Fire, Jue, and Want" (Note: It will not be explained here, readers please refer to the setting information in the relevant essays).

Since ancient times, the "inside" of Jianghu art has been connected, and the "tip" is different, that is to say, most of the methods of fooling people are common, and the knowledge that they are really good at has their own emphasis. The most proficient thing that You Fang has learned since he was a child is, of course, the wind door technique passed down by his fifth uncle, and the family book door technique is secondary.

You Fang's father, You Zuming, is very cynical in his surname, but he is still very restrained under the suppression of a strong grandmother, Mo Sigu. And You Fang inherited the cynical side of his father's surname, and he didn't care about anything, and he would learn what he was asked to learn, as long as he could feel the fun, but he didn't really take it seriously.

Grandma Mo Sigu was very dissatisfied with You Fang's point, and always liked to teach him a lesson, but she was reluctant to really fight, and the old lady loved her eldest grandson. So You Fang has been very naughty in front of his grandmother since he was a child, and even learning martial arts was not learned from his grandmother, but with Mo Zhang, the son of his third uncle.

The third uncle's teaching is mainly internal fists and feet, focusing on physical and mental exercise, and only when the people are forbidden to carry knives and guns privately, they have to defend themselves with fists and feet. And Mo Sigu is better at all kinds of equipment and blades, this is the most effective fighting technique in the era of cold weapons, and it is very different from fighting with bare hands, not there is such a saying - no matter how high the martial arts are, I am afraid of kitchen knives.

You Fang's sister is very interested in the family heirloom, and she is very involved in learning with her father, and she has been pestering her grandmother to learn martial arts since she was a child. But the old lady didn't teach her granddaughter much, and said: "The times are different, girls can learn some posture to defend themselves, and more importantly, they don't suffer from losses." ”

You Chengyuan is very talented, she didn't go to any famous university, but graduated from Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute, it was because of interest that she chose such a major, and just graduated and got a ceramic arts and crafts artist certificate. is there, and her "appearance" is also very amazing!
