Chapter 11: Lamb
Returned to the room to wash up, walked to the study in the backyard, now he went back and forth in and out of the backyard without reporting at all, just walked to the door of the backyard, a figure taller than him bumped over, Su Bai was hit and sat on the ground, got up and was about to scold the street, looked up, it was no one else who hit him, it was Zhao Yue'er. Zhao Yue'er was just about to apologize, but when she saw that it was Su Bai who she knocked down, the expression on her face changed, and she immediately turned into an expression like an old lady hitting you, giving you a big face.
Su Bai got up and said, "Good dogs don't get in the way", Zhao Yue'er said angrily: "Who are you scolding for being a dog?" Su Bai smiled: "Of course whoever is my way, who is the dog", Zhao Yue'er rolled up her sleeves and was about to come over to teach Su Bai a lesson, at this time Su Bai remembered, this is a strange woman who threw herself out with one hand, what kind of mouth is she cheap, now it's big! Just as he was about to turn around and run, Mrs. Zhao's voice rang out: "Yue'er, stop, what do you look like now, do you look like a lady?" Zhao Yue'er immediately turned a tiger into a cat, Su Bai puffed up his chest and pretended to intercede for Zhao Yue'er: "Senior sister, you can't blame the senior sister for everything, and blame me for being too anxious when I came in, otherwise I wouldn't have bumped into the senior sister."
"Ugly Niu doesn't have to defend her, I don't know her temper yet?" Mrs. Zhao is Yue'er's biological mother, what is this daughter of the way of nature that she is used to by herself, she preconceived that it was Zhao Yue'er who was looking for trouble with Su Bai, hungry, and it seemed that she was still like this. "Give me a female ring ten times!" , Mrs. Zhao said sternly, Zhao Yue'er looked aggrieved, and walked to her mother to want to be coquettish, but she was still a little embarrassed in front of Su Bai.
In the end, he could only leave with a sad and angry face, it seemed that he was going to copy the female ring, Mrs. Zhao, who was still glaring angrily a second ago, when she looked at Su Bai again, she had been replaced by a spring breeze, and Su Bai was amazed, woman, it is really a very magical creature! Su Bai came to the study, it was still early, Zhao Ming and breakfast were not delivered, Su Bai, who was bored, took a copy of "The Book of Rites" on the bookshelf and read it.
Through these two days of study, Su Bai really likes the traditional culture of China more and more, a sense of superiority arises spontaneously, if you want to talk about history, civilization, etiquette, there is really no country that can compare with my Huaxia, do you mean the monkey-like Ah San, or the pharaoh who wrapped himself in bandages, in front of my Huaxia are weak. Reading the book was in a daze, the maid Qiu Xiang came in, took the small red lunch box that Su Bai liked very much, smiled politely, opened the lunch box, there were a few thin cakes inside, and there was a bowl of broth on the side, smelling that it should be mutton soup, Su Bai asked a little puzzled: "Sister Qiu Xiang, isn't the master coming to eat?" In the past, Zhao Ming and Su Bai ate together, but I don't know why there is only myself today.
Qiu Xiang said with a smile: "Miss was punished for copying the female ring, and she cried in the house aggrieved, and the master went to comfort her", Su Bai was a little embarrassed, strictly speaking, he was almost thirty people, bullying this eleven or twelve little girl, isn't it a little bad, hey? Anyway, Zhao Ming is so old, why is his daughter only eleven or twelve? Su Bai is a person who will ask if he doesn't know, Qiu Xiang's face changed: "Son, don't mention it in the academy, if you let the master and lady hear it, you will be angry." Su Bai secretly said with compassion: "Is it not good for Lao Zhao!" ”。
Don't think about it so much, I picked up a piece of cake and took a bite, and drank it with mutton soup, and it squirted out with a pop, and my mouth was full of sheep smell. Su Bai said in his heart that something was wrong, the pigs in the Tang Dynasty did not have birth control, so the meat had a terrible smell, and only the poor would eat it, calling it cheap meat. But mutton, as the main source of meat in the Tang Dynasty now, how can it be Sao? Is the chef tidying up himself, but he hasn't offended the chef?
Looking at Qiu Xiang, who was cleaning up the Qiu Xiang he spewed out, Su Bai asked, "Sister Qiu Xiang, have you eaten breakfast?" Qiu Xiang shook her head and said, "Not yet, we have to wait for the son and the old lady to finish eating, and we can only eat it." Su Bai was also embarrassed to let Qiu Xiang drink his own bowl, and wanted to ask if he usually drank this kind of thing, so he asked with some uncertainty: "Sister Qiu Xiang, does the mutton soup you usually drink also taste like this?" Qiu Xiang leaned over and sniffed and said, "That's right, what's wrong Childe, isn't it to your taste?" ”。
Su Bai shook his head, and drank a bowl of mutton soup with the cake, no matter whether it was delicious or not, it was shameful to waste it! In order to know the truth, whether the meat is like this, or the cook is tidying up himself, Su Bai asked Qiu Xiang to take him to the kitchen. The kitchen is very large, because there is a need to cook for nearly 100 people, the master master gets up very early, and the five chefs under his command cook for the students, and he is responsible for cooking for Zhao Ming's family.
Qiu Xiang introduced the two of them, and the master hurriedly said: "Young Master Wang, if there is any problem, just call the villain over, why do you come to this cheap land." Su Bai waved his hand and said, "Don't call me young master, uncle, can you let me see the mutton?" The chef said in his heart that it is really strange for people to read now, why are they still interested in mutton? didn't say anything, lowered his body, took out a piece of lamb breast from the vegetable basket on the side and said, "This is the meat left over from the soup in the morning, Young Master Wang, please take a look." Su Bai took it and took a look, it was not a loss that he grew up eating grass, but it was different from growing up eating feed, the texture of the meat was clear, the color was ruddy, and he felt that it must be very palatable just by looking at it.
"Master, can you cut off a slice and give me a taste of the water?" , Su Bai asked, the master smiled secretly, I thought that this little young master came to the kitchen so early to do something, it turned out that he was hungry and wanted to eat some mutton. At that time, he patted his chest and said that there was no problem, put the meat on the meat table and said: "Young Master Wang, if you don't eat enough in the morning, there is still in the pot, and you can have a bowl, so you don't have to be so troublesome."
Su Bai shook his head and said: "Master bother, don't cut more, the thinner the better", the master didn't think much about it, a knife down, and the mutton slices cut by modern machines are almost the same, you can see the blade through the meat slices, it is extremely thin! Hot water was boiling in the place where the vegetables were stir-frying, Su Bai picked up the mutton and put it in the pot, the meat turned white in a second or two, put the meat in his mouth and chewed it, sure enough, the mutton had some smell.
The chef put a lot of spices in order to cover up this smell, but he still couldn't cover it, but he just removed some of the mutton smell. Su Bai raised his head and asked, "Master, has the mutton eaten in our house always been like this?" The chef nodded and said, "Yes, but we don't often eat mutton in our house, and Mrs. and Miss don't like it, and the master also eats less." Su Bai nodded and said with a secret smile: "Originally, I planned to use the taste to attract diners to eat, but now that I know the mutton soup of the Tang Dynasty, I feel that my mutton soup is absolutely invincible in this era, you don't know how to get rid of the mutton soup, you know!" ”
But they can't do it here, otherwise they'll all learn where to make money on their own. Mei Zizi wandered back to the study, Zhao Ming had already returned, looked at Su Bai and asked, "What are you doing in the kitchen if you have nothing to do?" Isn't it easy to eat? Su Bai shook his head and said, "No, it's just that the students are curious about how to make such a delicious soup." Zhao Ming smiled: "You are really innocent, the teacher asked you to think about the poem about Yongju yesterday, how did you think?" ”。
Su Bai said: "It's ready, but it's just that the students themselves are bored and thinking about it, I'm afraid that they won't be able to enter the eyes of the teacher." Zhao Ming touched the goatee that didn't have much and said, "Read it, listen to it for the teacher."
Su Bai coughed lightly and said, "Please ask the teacher to comment."
"Stay until the flowers bloom on September 8"
"I kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom"
"Cupola incense array penetrates Chang'an"
"The city is full of golden armor"
"Ahem, ahem!" Zhao Ming was choked to death by his own saliva, and then reacted and covered Su Bai's mouth, reaching out quickly, not like a fat man who was almost fifty years old. Looking left and right at no one, he carefully let go of his hand, Su Bai was so hung that he was covered to death, panting heavily.
Zhao Ming also gasped for breath, but he was frightened, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, you, you wrote?" Su Bai nodded shamelessly, saying yes, he wrote it himself. Zhao Ming's voice trembled even more, and he even cried a little: "You, what do you want to do?" Su Bai was a little confused, didn't you ask me to write poems, why did you ask me what I wanted to do? Zhao Ming looked at Su Bai's innocent face, a little frightened, two days ago, I saw that this kid cared about the beggar, and persuaded him to become an official, only by being an official can he do something for the people. This bastard doesn't want to rebel and become an emperor, right? Then won't your whole family have to be killed by then?
But looking at Su Bai's appearance, it doesn't look like he wants to rebel, and besides, an eight-year-old child knows what a rebellion is? Zhao Ming asked, "What is the meaning of your poem?" Su Bai came easily: "That is to say, on September 8, there are no other flowers except chrysanthemums." The city is filled with only the fragrance of chrysanthemums, and the scattered petals of chrysanthemums, which look like armor of gold."
Zhao Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, it turned out that it was explained like this, it was okay, and then his face became nervous again: "Who else have you told this poem?" Su Bai shook his head and said, "I only told you", Zhao Ming nodded and said: "Don't be, the meaning in this poem is not just as simple as you think, you must not recite it in front of others in the future, you had better forget it."
After Zhao Ming said this, Su Bai remembered that this poem seemed to be really made by an anti-thief, and it seemed that he was still a very famous anti-thief, and he couldn't remember what it was, but the sentence 'Wait until the flowers bloom on September 8, and I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom!' It's hard to forget. Su Bai hurriedly nodded to show that he understood, if he was beheaded because of two lines of poetry, would he be wronged? Hurriedly said: "Teacher, I still have a ..... here"
