Chapter 23: The Gentleman Cooks Far Away

After all, Mo Shuyu agreed to Li Shimin to go to the Guozijian to study in order to be able to freely enter and leave the palace to find Li Yali, although Li Yali has found it now, but if he doesn't go to the Guozijian, Mo Shuyu is afraid that Li Shimin will turn his face and not let him see Li Yali, and Li Yali is also studying in the Guozijian, they are still at the same table, Mo Shuyu is naturally happy to go to the Guozijian to study every day.

"Yali, what do you see I brought you?" As soon as Mo Shuyu entered the door of the classroom, he said hello to Li Yali, and handed Li Yali the box he was carrying.

"What is this?" Li Yali looked at the box handed over by Mo Shuyu and asked with a red face.

"Love lunch box, eat it while it's hot, it's all made by me." Mo Shuyu opened the lunch box, took out the chopsticks and handed them to Li Yali, looking at her with joy.

Li Yali looked at the panda head in the lunch box and seemed to be thinking about something. "This is an iron-eating beast? I have seen this in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, according to legend, when the Yellow Emperor fought the ancient "soldier master" Chiyou, he invited many immortals to help because he couldn't spell, among which Feng Bo and Yushi all appeared in the story. In the end, although the Jiuli God of War Chiyou was full of divine power, he was outnumbered and defeated by Zhuolu, and the Yellow Emperor was thus supported as the Son of Heaven. The victory of this battle was certainly a big factor in turning the tide of the battle, but there is another legendary element in this story, and that is the entry of the Iron Eater. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor rode the iron-eating beast to fight with Chiyou, the iron-eating beast was fierce and abnormal, relying on its own brute strength to be like a fish in water on the battlefield, and the Yellow Emperor had a legion composed of iron-eating beasts called the gluttonous army. Li Yali knows the story of the Classic of Mountains and Seas well. The story of the Iron Eater comes with it.

"Have you ever seen an iron-eating beast? It's so cute. Li Yali poked the panda's ears with chopsticks, and couldn't tell what it was made of.

"Of course, I've not only seen it. I've touched it. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, this is what I went to the imperial dining room after I came out of the Taiji Palace, the panda's ears and eyes are gimbap, the nose is candied fruit, and the rice is stewed with gravy, so try it and see if it's delicious. Mo Shuyu touched Li Yali's head and looked at him dotingly.

"Well, okay, I'll try it." Li Yali picked up a ball of rice with chopsticks and elegantly put it into her mouth. "Hmm~ It's so delicious, it's better than those masters in the imperial dining room, and it's so good-looking, I can't bear to put down the chopsticks."

"It's okay, eat, if you like it, I'll make it for you every day in the future." Mo Shuyu watched Li Yali eat happily, not to mention how happy he was.

"Hey, what are you eating, Sister Huang, it's so fragrant, wow, what a cute doll, what is this? Can you give a bite to the blue sparrow too? Li Tai was reading a book seriously in the back, when he suddenly smelled a fragrance, and when he looked up, he happened to see the two people who were showing affection. Hey, Sister Huang, aren't you angry with your third brother? When did you get so close? ”

"Cut, don't mention it, didn't I apologize for sending food to Princess Yali, you don't know, Your Majesty knows that I made Princess Yali angry, and called me over to scold." The matter between Mo Shuyu and Li Yali has not been known by anyone except His Majesty Li Er and his wife, and the transaction between Mo Shuyu and Li Shimin is not easy to make public, so he has to lie to Li Tai.

"Oh, I see, can I take a bite of Brother Sanfeng, it smells so good." Li Tai wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and looked at the lunch box in Li Yali's hand. Li Yali saw that the two of them were discovered by Li Tai, and her face was red to the base of her neck, and she couldn't wait to stick her head into her armpit like an ostrich.

"Now, I'll give you something to eat." Li Yali looked at Li Tai with bright eyes, and became even more shy, and hurriedly handed over the lunch box.

"No, this is what I gave you, how can you pass it on to someone else." Mo Shuyu snatched the lunch box from Li Tai's hand and stuffed it into Li Yali's arms.

"Wow, Brother Sanfeng, are you such a heavy color and light friend? Isn't it just a bowl of rice, if you come to my house another day, I will invite you to a big meal. "Li Tai just took the lunch box handed over by Li Yali, and when he saw the panda head in the lunch box, his curiosity exploded instantly." Since you don't want to give me food, why don't you introduce this master to me, and I'll spend a lot of money to invite him to my house. ”

"Oh? Qingque, how much does your majesty give you a month's monthly money? I'm afraid you can't afford it. Mo Shuyu stuffed the lunch box back into Li Yali's hand, and began to joke with Li Tai.

"Huh? How expensive can a cook be, how can I not afford it? ”

"How much do you think you'd have to ask me to cook for you?" Mo Shuyu looked at Li Tai and smiled.

"Huh? This, this is what you did? Mitutoyo, a gentleman who cooks far away. Li Tai looked at Mo Shuyu as if he was looking at a fool, in the era of the Tang Dynasty, men cooking were to be pointed out by thousands of people. It is also because Mencius said that a gentleman is far away from cooking, and he was misunderstood by everyone.

"No, Qingque, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, this sentence is misunderstood by you, this sentence is Mencius and King Qi Xuan when talking about the gentleman's benevolence, saying that the gentleman for birds and beasts, seeing them alive, can not bear to see them die, hearing their mournful screams before death, can not bear to eat their meat, so the gentleman should live away from the kitchen, do not let them see the scene of slaughtering beasts, do not let them hear the fierce cries of birds and beasts before they die. It's not that a gentleman can't cook. You say, if a person is so poor that he can't even eat, can he deny that he is not a gentleman because he cooks for the next time? "Regarding the matter of Junzi Yuan's cooking, Mo Shuyu liked to cook for himself when he was in college, and his classmates ridiculed him countless times, and he also refuted it countless times.

"But in that case, isn't the cook just a person who doesn't have a merciful heart?" Li Tai seems to be unable to accept the understanding of the world for nearly a thousand years, and has been overturned by Mo Shuyu.

"Qingque, you have to have your own opinions on things and people, and you can't think you're right just because everyone in the world says so. If there were no cooks to slaughter animals, would everyone in the world have to be vegetarian? In order to make the world eat meat, the chef doesn't care about the opinions of the world, but you still want to say that they are not good, do you think this is what a gentleman does? “

"Okay, the little fairy of Sanfeng is really talented, I can't imagine that we have misunderstood the words of the gentleman for so long. I can't imagine that the old man has mistaken people's children for decades, which is really a sin. Kong Yingda had already arrived in the classroom, standing in front and listening to Mo Shuyu talk to Li Tai for a long time.

For example, for merchants, the world says that the merchants are farmers and businessmen, and they look down on the merchants, and think that the status of the merchants is the lowest. It is precisely because of businessmen that we can drive the economy of our country, and it is precisely because of businessmen that we can make our country prosperous. "Mo Shuyu didn't like to follow his father in business in his previous life, but when it comes to being low, he is also a businessman, and it is normal for the world to pursue profits.

"However, businessmen are villains who are for profit." As an old Confucian, Kong Yingda can't accept profit-seeking businessmen at all.

"As the old saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Businessmen just regard interests as a profession, and now the nobles of the Tang Dynasty who have not achieved a few industries? Isn't it all given to the relatives below to take care of, to say that the biggest businessman in Datang today is indispensable to His Majesty, and now the entire Datang is his industry. Everything in the world has its own reason for existence, and it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, but who in the world will do things that are not beneficial to themselves? ”
