Volume 1 Taibai Dawn Chapter 23 Mobao Drunken Immortal Building
When you return to the mansion, let the groom go to the drunken fairy building to wait, otherwise it will be more troublesome for the red sleeves to come back at that time.
Cao Yi then returned to Qingyun Pavilion in a hurry, and went straight into the study, just in time to see Musk Yue sorting out the four treasures of the study, so she asked her to inform Qiu Wen to go to the dining room and call the cook to the study.
As soon as he sat down, Bijin brought hot water, gave a blessing, and retreated. Before half a cup of tea, the cook hurried over, because he didn't know what Childe had told him to do, but he heard from Miss Autumn Pattern that Childe had come back from outside and asked her to call him.
"The villain Xiong Qing greets Childe!" The person who came was a short and fat man with a ruddy face and a sturdy body, with a very round belly, and from the appearance alone, he looked more like a chef.
"Get up, Xiong Qing, you sit down first. Let me ask you, do you have any brothers or friends who are also chefs? Cao Yi sat there, staring at Xiong Qing with glowing eyes and asked.
Xiong Qing scratched his head honestly, "Senior brother, I just arrived in Jiangning a few days ago, and they are still guests at the villain's house." ”
"Oh? It's true? Let's talk about the specific situation. Cao Yi's anxiety about not being able to find the chef eased a little, and he leaned back in his seat and asked.
"It was my two younger brothers, that is, my master's sons, who heard that I was in charge of the kitchen in Jiangning Cao Envoy Cao Mansion, so they came from Zhenjiang to see me, and by the way, they wanted to make a living in Jiangning. However, at present, the villain has not looked for them yet, thinking that he wants them to play in the major places of interest in the city before making plans. ”
With a snap, Cao Yi slapped his palm excitedly, "It seems that the god of luck still favors me, and he will give me whatever he lacks, it's really good." ”
Sui Ji seemed to think of something again, and continued to ask, "How are your two little junior brothers cooking?" DID YOU KNOW. ”
"Uh...... Uh......" Xiong Qing struggled there for a long time, and he didn't say anything. This made Cao Yi anxious, stood up and asked, "Xiong Qing, what are you worried about, is it possible that you still have something unspeakable?" ”
"My two little junior brothers are deeply valued by my master, and at this time, they must have done their best to earn a living when they went out to earn a living, and their cooking skills should be on par with me at this time." Xiong Qing paused for a moment, touched the hot sweat on his head again, and added, "Maybe it's taller than me." ”
Cao Yi and his two lives naturally knew what Xiong Qing was struggling with before, undoubtedly worried that after saying that the cooking skills of the two junior brothers were the same as him or might be higher than him, he lost the position of the head chef of Cao Mansion. It seems that the people who seem to be five big and three rough and honest people also have their own cleverness and caution.
"That's good, you can invite your two junior brothers to Cao's mansion tomorrow, well, I'll meet them again and talk about it then." Cao Yi didn't care that Xiong Qing's face changed when he heard it at this time, and he was secretly frightened, and continued: "I have a restaurant outside, which is the original Jiangning No. 1 Restaurant, you know, there is no chef in charge yet, so I think Xiong Qing, if the strength of your two junior brothers is really good, I plan to hire them with a high salary." ”
Xiong Qing hurriedly got up and saluted Cao Yi, "Then dare to be kind, the villain will thank the son for my two little junior brothers first." ”
Cao Yi waved his hand and asked him to go down, and tomorrow he would take a good test of the cooking skills of the two of them.
Xiong Qing retreated, and left quickly, planning to go to the junior brother after the end of duty, after all, it is a rare opportunity, now the competition in the restaurant industry in Jiangning City is so fierce, no one dares to take two novices with no work experience to take charge of the kitchen, except for the newly opened Zuixian Building, other restaurants in Jiangning City are only afraid that it is not easy to find, even if they are hired, they are only a starter, and it is difficult to say this day.
"Tan Yun, grinding ink, preparing paper......" Cao Yi didn't see Tan Yun in the study, and was wondering where she went. At this time, he saw that the latter was sneaking in, and hurriedly asked her to come over.
"Ahh …… Yes, Childe" Tan Yun spit out his little tongue at Musk Yue, and came over lightly to add incense and ink, and then tilted his head and stood next to the desk to see Cao Yi writing.
"Childe, why did you write so many 'Drunken Immortal Towers', do you want to pick out the best?" Tan Yun carefully picked up the 'Drunken Immortal Building' written by Cao Yigang, put it aside, and then put a blank piece of Chengxintang paper on the desk, and said with a smile, "It's a pity that Tan Yun can only know basic literacy and hyphenation, and he only knows a few calligraphy fonts." ”
"Oh, isn't there four faces and five buildings in the drunken fairy building, which requires a lot of wine flags and signboards, so I plan to use a variety of calligraphy fonts to write as many as possible, in order to make the house clever and good at embroidering female red maids and old mothers sewn on the wine flags, when the drunken fairy building is full of signboards and wine flags in various fonts, does it look very imposing?"
"Oh, I see, that childe, what kind of font is this?" Tan Yun stretched out his slender jade hand and asked crisply.
At this time, Musk Yue heard it, and also walked over and stood on the other side, also wanting to see how many fonts a drunken immortal building could write.
Cao Yi raised his head and glanced at the 'Drunken Immortal Building' on Tan Yun's finger, a little proud, "This is a thin gold body, which was figured out by this son." "But I was secretly thinking in my heart, this was created by people more than a hundred years later, and it's strange that you know it now.
Immediately, I talked to the two of them about what calligraphy fonts were used in the drunken immortal buildings. "Nuo, you should all know this one, this is the big seal, which is the calligraphy font of the pre-Qin period, and that is the small seal, which was created by Li Si when Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries and implemented the 'book with the same text'."
"Well, this is a Lishu, it is said that it was also compiled by Cheng Miao during the Qin Dynasty, and it was later adopted by Qin Shi Huang, but it was only developed to its peak during the Eastern Han Dynasty."
Cao Yi picked up the three 'Drunken Immortal Building' scripts he had just written, spread them out and said to Musk Yue and Tan Yun, "Look at these three again, they are all cursive, and this one is chapter grass, because there are rules to follow in the stroke province; This is Imasa.,Relatively speaking, it's not very formal.,The gesture is relatively smooth; The last one is wild grass, and the gesture is wild and uninhibited, uh, but the average person can't recognize it. ”
Then he wrote a few more letters, "This is the regular script, which is evolved from the official book, also called the regular script, because it is more neat and upright, these three were created in the Tang Dynasty, this Ouyang Xun created the European body, this is the Yan body created by Yan Zhenqing, and that is the Liu body of Liu Gongquan, uh...... The rest of this one is also made by Gongzi himself, so let's call it Cao Ti for the time being. "In my heart, I secretly shouted that I was sorry for Zhao Mengfu of the Yuan Dynasty, who told you to be born late, there is no such person as you now, you can only be said to be yourself.
In the end, they were shown the writing method of the 'Drunken Immortal Building' in the Xingshu and Pavilion style, and they were very happy, and also showed the 'Drunken Immortal Building' version of the Lower Wei Tablet Style.
Of course, such a coquettish and hard-working dance and writing have naturally won unanimous praise and infinite worship from Tan Yun and Musk Yue, and the eyes that looked at Cao Yi were much brighter as usual, after all, beauty loves talent is the main theme of this era. According to Cao Yi's own inner obscenity, he should be in the limelight in the hearts of the two little girls at this moment, his image is infinitely enlarged, and his charm value is off the charts.
However, if he knows that at this moment, Tan Yun has the idea that 'Childe is really powerful, even if he sells words for a living in the future, he will probably be able to support us', I don't know if he will feel so good about himself.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, Mrs. Gao really asked Cao Yi about when he would go to Jiangning Mansion to go to school, Cao Yi excused himself on the grounds that things were busy at present, and repeatedly promised that when the business of Zuixian Mansion was on the right track, he would definitely go to Jiangning Mansion to study and report immediately, study hard, and gain great fame for the Cao family in the future...... It was only after talking about it that Mrs. Gao agreed to slow down for a while.
After dinner, Liu Baiqing came back first, bringing a good news, riding out of the city today to see the flowers, but really found a good place.
In the southwest of Jiangning City, four or five miles away from the Niushou Mountain, Guanyin Mountain, there is a piece of land in the middle of which is very good, surrounded by double mountains on both sides, but there is a very wide plain left in the middle, there are more mountain springs and lakes around, it is convenient to enter and exit, but the land is relatively barren, so there are no people nearby, but the mouth of the two mountains is 10,000 acres of fertile land, which is very convenient for the collection of raw materials for winemaking, and it is very suitable for being used to make a secret winery, and it is also convenient for the guards to be stationed secretly.
