Chapter 81: Sinking Fish and Falling Goose

Half an hour later, a rich aroma emanates from the lake.

Hu Ji thought about it for a while, and the two fish, four men and one woman, seemed to be not enough to eat, so she stood on the edge of the small lake and summoned two more fish.

It happened that a line of geese flew in the sky, and Orchid looked up at the sky and said, "If you have fish, you still want to eat geese!" โ€

An amazing scene happened, the last few geese in the group actually fluttered their wings and landed directly at the feet of the orchid.

Old man Guo, who was walking around, walked back quickly when he smelled the smell, and happened to see this scene.

"My goodness, is this the legendary sunken fish and goose?"

The stones on the side, as well as the chauffeur who was munching on the bread, all looked at this scene in amazement, and all opened their mouths wide, and they didn't even notice the drooling flow.

The orchid quickly processed the food and grilled both the fish and the geese.

"Everyone comes, everyone has a share!"

Orchid greeted generously, and Old Man Guo was unceremoniously, took the fish handed by Orchid, and took a bite.

"Wellโ€”โ€”, sure enough, it's unusual, it's an ordinary carp? How can it be so delicious! โ€

The taste is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and when paired with the special ingredients of orchids, it mixes the most beautiful taste in the world.

At the behest of the orchid, the stone sent a portion of the fish to the coachman, who was so moved that he almost fell to his knees.

The stone came back and passed by Guo Yifan, but saw this person staring at the painting in front of him in a daze, completely unaware of the temptation of food.

"Childe, go eat some, I tasted it, Miss Yue'er is really amazing, this fish is delicious, this wild goose is scorched on the outside and tender on the inside...... Son? Son! โ€

Guo Yifan came back to his senses from his stunnedness, and sure enough, he smelled an unusual fragrance.

He looked at the orchid in surprise, and then at the fish and geese that were steaming on the fire, and said bitterly: "You roasted the fish just now?" โ€

Orchid winked: "Yes! Any questions? โ€

"Oh my God, what a genius fish, what a wise fish, look at it, look at ......"

Guo Yifan pulled the orchid to the easel and said in surprise: "This is the lake, this is the greenery, this is the blue sky, the lake is mixed with the reflection of the trees, the green lingers in the humidity of the lake, there is blue and white in the sky, what a meaningful painting, although it is messy, but it has a unique style, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, a fish can create an unprecedented style of painting!" โ€

After Guo Yifan finished speaking, he looked at Hu Ji in surprise.

Hu Ji was speechless, the painting in front of her was a mess, she couldn't appreciate it at all, she looked at the painting, and then looked at Guo Yifan.

"And then ......"

"Woo woo woo ......, but you roasted it, roasted it......"

Guo Yifan was heartbroken, and Hu Ji only held back a sneer: "I don't bake it to fill my stomach, do I keep it to learn painting with you?!" I think you're crazy, just a fish, it's sperm? Can you still draw? Also created a style of painting? Cut! โ€

"Yes, Childe, if you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it for you, this fish is really delicious, it's the best fish Shi has ever eaten in his life."

"Eat, eat, eat, and you'll know ......"

Guo Yifan's voice stopped abruptly, because Old Man Guo picked up a grilled fish and blocked his mouth.

"Are you noisy or not, you are hungry and quarrelling, you really have strength!"

Guo Yifan was forced to swallow a mouthful of fish, and it was like discovering a new continent.

At this moment, the freshness and burnt aroma in the mouth are mixed and linger between the lips and teeth, and the umami of the fish and the aroma of the seasoning are perfectly blended, creating a wonderful taste that has never been tried before, and the fish bones have long been eliminated by the orchid with immortal magic.

Seeing that Guo Yifan was no longer entangled in the painting, he swallowed a whole grilled fish in a few bites, and after eating, he looked at the few fish that had not yet been grilled with anticipation.

Orchid quipped, "How does this painted fish taste?" โ€

Guo Yifan sneered: "It's really extraordinary, but the most amazing thing is Yue'er's fishing skills, as well as the skills of grilling fish, which is simply an art!" โ€

Old man Guo also joked: "Yifan, you are here again, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are important, but filling your stomach is the first priority in life, you are a man, you are even afraid of a fish, hey, I have lost my old face." โ€

Guo Yifan pouted and said: "You also said that just now who hid away as soon as he heard that lunch was made, and came back as soon as lunch was ready." โ€

"I'm, that's, to observe the enemy's situation, in case there's a beast or something, right?"

Guo Yifan looked his grandfather up and down with disdain: "Beast? Even if you do, you're not an opponent!? โ€

"Go, where did the children's family get so many words."

"Poofโ€”" Orchid smiled.

The way this pair of grandparents get along is too funny, relaxed and humble, and not sticking to their identities, like grandchildren and friends, which reminds Orchid of her days in Kunlun.

"The green is slim and the willows are still around, the lonely mountain is fragrant and the apricot blossoms are flying, and the branches are red and pink? When the prodigal son does not return. โ€

A song "Picking Fangshi" was written by Guo Yifan, although the words are beautiful, but Hu Ji can't appreciate it, she just likes to watch him chant poems and paint the kind of focused appearance.

When Guo Yifan put down the pen, a pair of "Swinging Sons" was completed.

Old Man Guo nodded meaningfully: "Well, it's finally enlightened, grandpa supports you!" โ€

A touch of red appeared on Guo Yifan's face, and he said in a low voice: "Thank you, grandpa!" I'll try. โ€

The two grandparents and grandchildren said a word, and the stone and the orchid looked at each other.

"What do they mean?"

Stone shook his head at the orchid.

"You've been with your old man for so long, and what they say is a code word?"

Stone shook his head again.

"So that's how they talk on weekdays?"

The stone shook his head anyway, and nodded again when he realized that something was wrong.

Then he said mysteriously: "If there is something that the two of them don't want people to know, they will be obscure about the poem, and ordinary people really don't know the meaning." โ€

Oh, Orchid understood, it turned out that this was a code word of the literati.

A day later, several people came to the country of Xiluo.

The western landing is located on the west side of the dynasty, and legend has it that the sun has been setting since then.

Further west from the west is the Western Regions Dynasty, which is a super empire alongside the Hu Dynasty.

Therefore, Xiluo, located on the border, is not only the hub of trade exchanges between the two countries, but also a special area for the integration of various cultures and customs.

On the streets of the imperial city in the west, there are crowds of people, and the prosperity is not inferior to Shengyang City.

Orchids looked at everything here with novelty, exotic ghost masks, special delicacies with rich fragrances, and strange costumes with red and willow green......

In a short time, the stone's hands, arms, neck, and back were covered with all kinds of objects, all of which were purchased by Orchid, of course.

"Click" bites the orchid of the candy man, and is still eating and buying while walking, and the stone behind is crying bitterly.

"Childe, you're running out of money, aren't you?"

There was never a moment when the stone was so anxious that his master's money would soon run out, and he would die of exhaustion.

Guo Yifan "snapped" and patted the stone on the head, and said: "There are a lot of things, otherwise put them in the carriage first!" โ€

Shi said with a sad face: "Your brain is scared of you, and it is not bright, so I will call the coachman to come over, and I will go." โ€

When the carriage was about to be full, Guo Yifan's silver was finally spent.

Looking at the bits and pieces of a carriage, Guo Yifan frowned.

"Looks like we're going to have to find a way to make some money, or we'll be sleeping on the streets tonight."

Hu Ji was a little embarrassed, how could she forget that Guo Yifan was just a scholar, and he was not the God of Wealth who carried a lot of silver tickets for his own squandering at any time.

"How are we going to make money?"

"This is easy to do, follow me!"

After Guo Yifan inquired about it, he took Hu Ji to a place similar to a academy.

At this moment, a platform is being erected here, and the audience is full of people, all dressed in different costumes, but all dressed in the air of a book.

Old Man Guo squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that there are scholars from all over the world gathered here!" Yifan, just to be able to compete with one of them, how about it? โ€

"Do as your grandfather commands!"

It was at this time that someone came to power.

"Today coincides with the monthly Wentai competition, we follow the will of the imperial court, every month will elect the leader of the poem, today is no exception, if there is a winner, the court will reward one hundred taels of silver, of course, we also take the remaining top ten, respectively, reward ten taels of silver."

"Okay, good ......" the audience applauded continuously.

Guo Yifan explained: "This is the comparison between Wentai and Wentai, His Majesty Emperor Hu is far-sighted, both civil and military, and there are similar activities every month in various parts of the dynasty to encourage those who are poor and studying. โ€

Old Man Guo added: "This move is righteous, not only can it subdue the scholars, make them grateful to Dade, but also cultivate strength for the development of the dynasty. โ€

Hu Ji nodded, secretly thinking: his father is really powerful.

"Now I announce the rules of the comparison between the literary platform, the two applicants go to the stage, or the pair, or the poem, or the Danqing, the undefeated person gets off the stage, and the people behind can continue to come up to compete."

As soon as the supporters finished talking about the rules, two people took the stage.

"The sky is against the earth, the rain is against the wind, the continent is against the sky, the mountain flowers are against the sea trees, and the red sun is against the sky."

"Morning to noon, summer to winter, and evening to high; Youth is to day, and ancient cypress is to pine. โ€

"That's right!"

Everyone applauded, but the grandfather and grandson of the Guo family did not have any fluctuations in their expressions.

"The chicken sings, the child flies, the fish book is the word goose, and the grass house is the firewood."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

One person is right, but the other person is not right for half a day.

"The high and far, the wind and the inhabitants, the abyss against the shallows, and the Jingju against Yiwei."

Someone in the crowd shouted at each other, and everyone applauded again.

"This pair is neat and tidy, and it is very stylish."

"I didn't expect this boy to be so young......"
