When Wen Hui heard the word boxing, her eyes immediately lit up, and she shouted: "I also want to learn, I want to become like Uncle Chu in the future, and beat those bad guys who bullied me into fools." ”

Chu Chen hahadaxiao said: "Okay, when Xiaohui's injury is healed, Uncle Chu will teach you to practice boxing, and then we will defeat all the bad guys." ”

Seeing this, Zhou Wenping said with some hesitation: "Xiao Chu, you just said that it is a family heirloom, will it be a little bad to pass it on to outsiders?" ”

Chu Chen waved his hand: "Hehe, Brother Zhou, what age is it now, what are you talking about, like in the future, after I have a child, who knows if he will go to kung fu to learn, as long as I look at the right eye, I can persevere, and it doesn't hurt for me to pass on the boxing technique." ”

After Zhou Wenping heard this, he gave a thumbs up: "Xiao Chu, your consciousness is high, and it is also true, if there are no such strict regulations, maybe many of our ancestors' crafts will not be lost." ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, I'm not as great as you said, if you want to learn my boxing technique, you have to go through my test, and it is not so easy to practice this boxing technique, let's just say that I myself have been practicing basically every day since I was six years old, and I have achieved a little success now." ”

After Zhu Guodong heard this, he scratched his head and said, "Isn't that more than ten years of practice?" No wonder others say that I can't hold on to it for ten minutes on stage and ten years off stage. Ouch! ”

Speaking of zuihou, Wen Yuting went up and screwed him, and said angrily: "You lazy, if you can be like Brother Chu, then I tell my parents about our relationship, and they won't be able to talk nonsense, can't you learn from Brother Chu a little bit?" ”

When Zhu Guodong saw this, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay!" I must take Xiaochen as an example, work hard to start a business, make more money, and work hard for the great and glorious goal of buying a house in the capital as soon as possible and marrying you back home in a beautiful way! ”

His words made everyone daxiao when they heard it, and the atmosphere in the carriage was much happier for a while.

The pleasant time always flies very quickly, and the train arrives in Xijing while everyone talks and laughs. At this time, after the comfort and teasing of the big guy, Wen Hui's mood has stabilized a lot, but after all, she was so frightened, and usually, she still needs Zhou Wenping and his wife to be carefully guided.

Xijing, known as Chang'an and Jingzhao in ancient times, is one of the four ancient capitals of the world-famous Shijie, the birthplace of Chinese civilization and the starting point of the Silk Road. It is the capital city with the longest history, the most dynasties and the most influential capital, and ranks first in the "ancient capital of China".

Thirteen dynasties, including the Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties, which were the most powerful in history, were all built here. Xijing is bordered by the Wei River in the north, the famous Loess Plateau in the north, and the Qinling Mountains in the south, and the natural landscape is extremely beautiful.

There are many tourist attractions in Xijing, such as the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor and the "Eighth Wonder of Shijie"

The Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the ruins of the ancient city wall, the Hanyang Mausoleum, the Famen Temple, the Eight Views of Chang'an, etc., all reflect its profound historical and cultural heritage, which can be described as a famous tourist attraction in Shijie and is known as the "Natural History Museum".

As the birthplace of Chinese civilization, Xijing has a very long history, and the sedimentation of history and culture is very thick. The Chang'an School of Chinese Painting, the Guanzhong Shadow Puppet Theatre that originated before the Han Dynasty, the Shaanxi Puppet Theatre that originated from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the colorful Hu*xian peasant paintings are all indispensable and important components of Xijing culture.

If you talk about the historical celebrities in Xijing, it is even more unknown, and there are more than 1,000 people who are listed in the "Twenty-four History" and other historical books. They were either born here, or they have lived and worked here for a long time, and they have created a glorious history and made great contributions to the development of the Chinese nation.

When you come to such a city, how can you not have a good time, and since it is a famous historical and cultural city, for Chu Chen and others, how can they not go to the antique market. Of course, these things still need to wait for them to finish their business.

After getting off the train, Chu Chen proposed: "It's all time for dinner, Brother Zhou, can you introduce if there are any restaurants nearby that taste better, let's go have lunch first." ”

Zhou Wenping smiled and said: "Don't be so troublesome, I have already prepared a meal at home, let me do my best to make the place suitable, and the road is not far, you can get home in less than an hour, if you are hungry, you can eat first." ”

Zhou Wenping used to have a three-bedroom house in Xijing City, but in order to treat Zhou's sister-in-law, he sold it that year, and now they are back in their rural hometown. Out of the station, Zhou Wenping went to charter a van, and then everyone galloped towards the destination.

The road was relatively smooth, and it took about forty minutes to drive to the entrance of Zhoujia Village. The housing in the countryside here is a typical Guanzhong residential style, with a sense of simplicity and grandeur.

However, in the end, this place is still the western region, and the impact of reform and opening up is not deep enough, and everyone still sees some relatively dilapidated houses. But in general, it's okay, in Zhou Wenping's words, I haven't been home for a few years, and I didn't expect that many villagers have renovated new houses.

Along the way, Zhou Wenping and his wife kept greeting the villagers they knew, and distributed some candy to the onlookers, while Wen Cong and Wen Hui kept looking around, they had not returned to their hometown since they could remember, so they were full of curiosity and fun about the surrounding scene.

Among them, no one has come to the countryside in the Guanzhong area, the layout of the entire village, the characteristics of the houses, the spiritual outlook of the people, etc., all the customs and customs are so novel in their eyes.

When everyone walked to Zhou Wenping's door, not only was his family already waiting at the door, but also a brazier was erected. Crossing the brazier is an ancient custom in our country, the meaning is to seek good fortune and avoid evil, and turn misfortune into blessing, which is also because Sister-in-law Zhou has been sick all the year round, and now that she is home, let her cross the brazier to go to bad luck and illness.

After completing the ceremony simply, Zhou Wenping introduced it to everyone one by one.

Because it is rare to go home once, Zhou Wenping's sister's family who lives in Xijing City, as well as his father-in-law and mother-in-law, also came over, and the scene was very lively. The grandchildren who they hadn't seen for a long time, the two adults missed them very much, so they stepped forward and hugged them.

However, because the two children have seen each other very little since they can remember, Wen Cong is okay, Wen Hui refused to live or die because of the previous accident, so as not to make them sad, Zhou Wenping told everyone about the previous accident.

"These bunches!"

Zhou Wenping's family was full of righteous indignation when they heard this, and Zhou's father excitedly stepped forward to hold Chu Chen's hand and said:

"Xiao Chu, thanks to you, if it weren't for you, the hungry family really didn't know what to do, and the hungry heard that Wen Ping said that you helped him a lot before, you are really a noble person of the hungry family!"

Chu Chen said embarrassedly: "Uncle, Brother Zhou and I are good friends, and it is appropriate for friends to help each other as much as they can, but they are not nobles." ”

Zhou Wenping smiled when he saw this: "Dad, let's not stand at the door, we haven't eaten, let's eat and talk for a while." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm sorry, but let's get inside! Father Zhou hurriedly invited everyone into the house.

Everyone walked through the courtyard and came to the hall, only to see that there were already a lot of cold dishes on a round table, and they all looked quite solid.

After everyone sat down, the Zhou family greeted them warmly, and everyone was polite before they started. Unexpectedly, these cold dishes look average in color, but they are all very delicious, no worse than those of some well-known restaurants.

Zhou Wenping saw that everyone was eating so happily, so he smiled and said, "How is it, my mother's cooking is not bad, right?" ”

"It's not just good, it's delicious! Brother Zhou, you are so blessed that you can eat so delicious every day. ”

Wen Yuting admired while eating, and Chu Chen and the others also praised one after another.

At this time, Zhou Wenping's mother-in-law brought a chicken to the table, and Zhou Wenping hurriedly said to everyone: "This is my mother-in-law's best dish, gourd chicken, no worse than Xijing Restaurant!" ”

When everyone heard him say this, they were full of expectations.

Sure enough, the chicken is fragrant, although it has been fried, but it does not feel greasy at all, it tastes crispy and tender, fragrant and mellow, it can be said to be just right, and then accompanied by pepper and salt, it is another flavor, but no matter what kind of food, it makes people eat the aftertaste.

"Brother Zhou, I can eat this chicken alone, it's so delicious, but what if it wants to be called a gourd chicken?" Zhu Guodong asked while stuffing chicken into his mouth.

Zhou Wenping looked at him and said with a smile: "When it comes to the name of this dish, there is an allusion in it." ”

According to legend, gourd chicken began in the official kitchen of Wei Zhi, the official chef of the Ministry of Rites of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Wei Zhi was very particular about the food, poor and extravagant, and ordered the chef to cook crispy and tender chicken, the first chef fried it first and then boiled it, and Wei Zhi thought that the meat was too old, so he was severely punished and whipped.

The second chef boiled it first and then fried it, and the chicken was really delicious, but Merriam-Webster thought that the chicken was unformed and unsightly, so he beat the cook to death.

The third chef took the lessons learned from the previous two chefs and tied up the chickens, which were then boiled before fried. The chicken produced in this way is not only mellow and tender, but also resembles a gourd, and later generations will call it "gourd chicken".

After Wen Yuting heard this story, she said with some indignation: "That Wei Zhi is really hateful, it is really full of evil, but without him, there would be no such delicious food, it is really tangled!" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "This matter is just a legend, if you know the official history, you won't say so, in fact, he is honest and kind, in order to exonerate Du Da Poet, the matter of entering the picture has been shelved." How many people like this would have beaten a chef to death for a plate of chicken? So it's good to listen to this kind of story. ”

When everyone heard that there was such a thing, while praising Chu Chen's erudition, they all talked about the allusions they had heard, wanting to prove which ones were true and which ones were false, and the scene was quite lively for a while.
