Chapter Seventy-Two: An Extraordinary Family Feast
Looking at the majestic Guan Xiong in front of her, Shen Zhang really wanted to rush up and hold him tightly in her arms, but she didn't dare to do so, she was worried that it would hurt Shen Daren's heart and affect the relationship between their father and son.
The feast began. Guan Xiong smiled and said: "Seeing the virtuous is not hidden, this is Guan someone's long-cherished wish; ”
"Your Excellency said that!" Li Dalong applauded.
"Okay!" Shen Yunshan also applauded, and then said, "What the battalion leader said is extremely true!"
"Auntie, Daddy," Li Dejin said with a smile, "The battalion commander is complimenting you!"
"What?" Shen Yunshan didn't expect Guan Xiong to be praising himself, and he felt very embarrassed in his heart, but he didn't believe that a child could understand much Chinese, so he asked Li Dejin, "Then do you know what the battalion elder means?"
"The meaning of the battalion commander is: to see the virtuous people and not to bury them, this is the battalion commander's long-term wish, to get the country's fortune to share with others, this is Shen Gong's personality. Auntie, this Shen Gong is you!" Li Dejin said.
"Okay!" Guan Xiong gave a thumbs up, and then asked, "Do you know where Jianxian came from?"
"I only know a little bit. Li Dejin said, "There is a saying in Huan Tan's "Treatise on Salt and Iron" in the Han Dynasty: 'Seeing the virtuous is not hidden, and eating is not specialized, the reason why this uncle is a scholar, and Wei Chengzi is also a virtuous. ’”
Guan Xiong nodded slightly happily while listening, and when he saw Li Dalong's frowning and contemplative appearance, he said with a smile: "Mr. Li is a great Confucian in Chunan Town, and he has a good way to teach his son!
"This ......" Li Dalong was nervous at first, and then said, "Thank you for your promotion, then I might as well be respectful!"
Then, he picked up his chopsticks, squinted his eyes, and gently tapped on the table while shaking his head and chanting:
"Salt River irrigation river fish and shrimp fat,
Arouse the heroic poems to be high.
I'll go first with the old bottle and the new wine,
Throw bricks and jade to be carved. ”
"Okay!" Guan Xiong exclaimed excitedly, "Mr. Li has won the battle, and I will also make peace:
Push the cup and change the lamp to taste the delicacies,
The rice wine is rich and poetic.
Splitting and aposing hidden sentences,
Separation points to solve the riddle. ”
"Okay!" Li Dalong applauded, and the others applauded as well.
Seeing the servant bring a plate of saltwater goose, Guan Xiong said: "I don't think Luo Bingwang's "Song of the Goose" and today's goose meat are not quite right. He sings about the goose in the water, not the goose meat on the table. ”
Shen Zhaoyin said: "Then I'll sing a song "Goose Meat"! Goose, goose, goose, the song items are pinched, plucked and soaked in brine, and the delicacies are put on the table. ”
"It's good, it's very good for me!" Guan Xiong praised, and pointed to the grilled chicken on the plate, ""Goose Meat" is good, who will have another song "Grilled Chicken"?"
"This ......" Li Dejin thought for a moment, and was just about to exit, when he suddenly remembered that Li Dalong had repeatedly told him to always grasp the measure, so he shook his head and said, "This is too difficult, battalion commander, can you give me a demonstration?"
"I will!" said Shen Zhaoyin loudly.
"Good!" Guan Xiong applauded.
Shen Zhaoyin cleared his throat and groaned loudly:
"Grandma's vegetables are cut,
Just about to fry in the pot,
Naughty little flower cat,
Hurry up and climb the stove.
Grandma is old,
The seasoning is messed up,
The cats help to find it,
but he poured the oil bottle upside down. ”
"Hee-......hee-hee-he Camp Leader, is it okay for me to make a song "Tianjingsha"?"
"Okay! However, it's not easy to say that it's easy to slip around, that's also folk culture!"
He admired Li Dejin's talent very much, but he still didn't like his arrogant attitude.
"What's good?" Shen Zhaoyin muttered, "What's the big deal? It's not that Mr. Li often teaches him! But none of the classmates like him, who can understand?"
"Hehe!" Guan Xiong didn't like Shen Zhaoyin's jealousy either, but still smiled and said, "Shen Gongzi's smooth talk just now is really good!
"My lord, please listen to my "Tianjingsha"!" Li Dejin shook his head and read, "Roast duck with pepper fish head, sweet and sour pork ribs and prawns, boiled pork slices and phoenix feet, grilled chicken, and fried sprouts with fat intestines." ”
Guan Xiong squinted his eyes and listened, and then shook his head and said, "It's all delicacies, very good!" However, I just said that I would write a special poem with the title of "Grilled Chicken". I don't know who ......."
"I'll try. What do you think, my lord?" Shen Zhaoyin said.
"Okay!" Guan Xiong was very excited, "Don't be restrained!"
Shen Zhaoyin stood up and recited:
"The big red crown wears a big flower coat,
Wives and concubines cry to the sun in groups.
Foraging for food,
The flesh is fat and the life returns to the west. ”
"Not good!" Shen Yunshan shouted.
He estimated that Guan Xiong would not like such poems, so he preemptively shifted the responsibility to Li Dalong: "How could you think of a group of wives and concubines at a young age? Dalong, you are both his teacher and his cousin, how can you teach such a thing?"
"This ...... No......" Li Dalong was red-faced, and he didn't know how to answer.
"It wasn't taught by Mr.!" Shen Zhaoyin shouted, "It was Guan Daxian who taught me!"
"Hahaha......" Guan Xiong smiled, "we don't have to think about it. It's good that children can compose poems! Just talking about food is boring, so why don't you add some beautiful scenery? Who will try it again?"
"This ...... I'll come!" Li Dejin remembered the situation of watching fishing by the river with Guan Erlin a few days ago, so he blurted out, "The salt river and the tide cross, and the shore is full of fishing, sea bass, shrimp and wild ducks." The battalion commander traveled eastward, escorted by Haixi Erlang. ”
"Hahaha...... Guan Xiong couldn't help but admire, "As the saying goes, heroes have been teenagers since ancient times. Today I want to say that Haixi is a young man.
Okay! It's really rare to be in such a hurry! However, are these 'Haixi Jiro' two sons or your father?"
"It's all right! It can also be said to be the Erlang God of our Haixi. Li Dejin replied happily.
Guan Xiong said while drinking: "Both of you are talented people, and you should both get financial aid to go to middle school in the city."
However, the student grant is retained from the military salary raised for us by the Guanyun County Government, and the amount is very limited, I can only fund one of you, and I need the consent of the commander Gong!"
As soon as they heard the sponsorship, the others unconsciously stopped their chopsticks and stared at Guan Xiong tightly, waiting for him to say who it was.
Guan Xiong picked up the bowl and took a sip of wine, and then said: "The battalion headquarters and the second company are stationed in Xiaoyangji, I will stay here for a few more days, and before leaving, I will have a banquet for all the old and young masters here, and I will also thank Mayor Shen for his hospitality!"
When the time comes, I will test you again and decide who to sponsor. You two geniuses need to prepare with all your heart!"
