Chapter 56: Cracking
"Qingyu, does he really know? If you weren't an expert, you wouldn't know anything at all. ”
Chai Rong looked at Qingyu, and her eyes were full of curiosity.
"Don't worry, since he said he knew, he must know, he is not an ordinary person."
Qing Yu was convinced of Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng saw that everyone was looking at him, so he called a servant next to him, gave a few instructions, and then stood up and said, "Everyone, I will explain to you now why people can put their hands in the hot oil pot." ”
As soon as the words ended, several servants came over with a few pots, and then set up the pots.
Zhang Heng walked in front of an oil pot and lit the firewood below.
It didn't take long for him to see that the oil in the pot was already boiling, and he said to everyone, "Whoever has the guts to try it, I promise it will be fine." ”
However, as soon as these words came out, no one was willing to stand up, obviously afraid.
"I'll do it!"
At this time, Qingyu stood up and planned to try.
"I'll come too"
Chai Rong also followed.
Qingyu walked to the oil pot, looked at the boiling oil in the pot, and was a little scared for a while.
Zhang Heng walked up and said to her, "Believe me, it'll be fine." ”
When Qing Yu heard his words, his heart was also a lot more stable, and then he slowly put his hand in.
Chai Rong on the side also looked at it with concern, and after seeing her put her hand in, she hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”
"It doesn't feel too hot!"
Qingyu felt that the oil pot was not very hot at this time, and she was very puzzled.
"I'll try, um... Alas, it's not hot at all. ”
After Chai Rong put her hand in, she was also surprised, she thought that the performer had practiced some kung fu that was not afraid of being hot!
Immediately, some other people also came to try it, and they all confirmed this, and at the same time, this question came to their minds.
After waiting for a while, Zhu Tao looked at everyone's reaction, and he was also puzzled, so he decided to verify it himself, walked to the oil pot and put his hand down.
ouch
The next moment, Zhu Tao shouted loudly, and then immediately retracted his hand, only to see that his hand was already blistered.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Heng couldn't help but smile slightly.
"What the hell is going on? It's not hot for a while, it's hot for a while. ”
Everyone is also very curious about this.
"It's simple, you smell your hands and see if there's any smell?"
Zhang Heng said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone also put their hands in front of their noses and sniffed them.
Qingyu sniffed his hand and said, "There seems to be a sour smell." ”
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "This sour smell is vinegar, pour the vinegar at the bottom of the pot first, and then pour the oil, and when the fire is burned, the vinegar will boil first, which creates the illusion that the oil has boiled, in fact, the oil at this time is not open, so it is not hot, but after a long time, the vinegar will run away, and the rest is all oil, which is really hot." ”
When everyone heard his explanation, they all understood the reason.
Then the performer came up to him and said, "Have you performed this before?" How do you know so clearly? ”
"Not really, I've just heard of it."
Zhang Heng explained simply.
Then he walked up to Zhu Tao again, and said with a smile: "It's time to pay!" ”
Zhu Tao immediately asked his subordinates to get the money, his eyes were full of resentment, after all, he had no face in front of so many people.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a rich body walked in and said to everyone: "I feel that everyone has come to my Chai Mansion to participate in this party, and the banquet has been prepared, everyone please take a seat!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang"
Everyone saluted, and then walked into the living room.
Zhang Heng glanced at the prince, and then said to Qing Yu: "Which prince is this Chai prince?" Was it a relative of the emperor? ”
Qing Yu shook his head and said, "That's not it, it's a foreign surname of Your Majesty." ”
"My father just thinks that the Chai Wangfu has no weight to speak in the imperial court, so he wants me to marry the sons of those princes and ministers, in the final analysis, he just wants to consolidate the status of the palace."
Chai Rong's face was also full of displeasure, but she couldn't do anything.
"Rong Rong, when the time comes, you will borrow wine to play drunk, and show off your appearance in front of so many people, I don't believe that anyone else wants to marry you."
Qingyu was also cheering him up on the side.
"Hmm"
Chai Rong lit it, but she was still a little hesitant in her heart, after all, she was mainly doing this in a county, and she would be pointed at in the future.
After entering, Zhang Heng and the three of them also found a table to make it.
At this time, Chai Wang Ye stood up and said to everyone: "You are all young and promising talents, everyone is gathered together today, how can you not chant poems against you, what do you think?" ”
"This is nature, whether it is a poem or a counterpart, but according to the king's command."
The crowd chimed in.
"Okay, since that's the case, then the king will point to the topic, and write a poem on the theme of wine! If there is a good work, this king will definitely be rewarded. ”
Chai Wang Ye was also interested, since he was looking for a son-in-law, he naturally wanted to test their literary talents.
At this time, one person stood up, saluted to Lord Chai, and said, "Lord Wang, Xiaosheng Su Hao, I am willing to make a poem first." ”
Chai Wang Ye smiled and said: "Su Gongzi's name has already been heard, and it is really a blessing to be able to listen to Su Gongzi's poems today!" ”
"The prince has won the award, and Xiaosheng has the courage to sacrifice ugliness, today people do not see the ancient times and moons, this month has been according to the ancients, the ancients make people flow like water, and the bright moon is like this."
Su Hao also paced back and forth and began to chant poems.
"Good"
As soon as the words ended, everyone applauded.
Chai Wang Ye also laughed and applauded, and said: "Su Gongzi is really talented and rich!" When I see it today, I admire it. ”
"The prince has won the prize"
Su Hao saluted, his face full of pride.
Zhang Heng also felt that this poem was a masterpiece, so he asked Qingyu, "Who is this person?" A little ink. ”
Qingyu opened his mouth to explain: "His name is Su Hao, and their Su family has been a historian for generations, and the ink in his stomach is not ordinary. ”
"It seems that it is really a family relationship!"
Zhang Heng didn't think about this, and continued to bow his head and eat.
Immediately, many people also chanted poems one by one, and the atmosphere was also very lively.
At this time, Zhu Tao wrapped gauze in his right hand, sat on the table with a depressed face, looked at Zhang Heng, who was eating fragrantly not far away, and an idea suddenly appeared in his heart.
Then he stood up, saluted to Chai Wangye, pointed at Zhang Heng and said: "Wangye, I believe that the talent of this son just now is obvious to everyone, and it must be natural for poetry to be a problem, it is better to let this son write a poem to help everyone have fun." ”
Zhang Heng saw that Zhu Tao had turned him into the focus of the field, and thought to himself that this kid really didn't hold back his fart.
