Chapter 179: The Easiest Is the Hardest
You Shixiong is worthy of being a great general, a great hero, familiar with people's lives, to live a meaningful and responsible life, even after a hundred years, to leave a hero's reputation to spread in the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's just that the old man's cultural level may not be good, and the beautiful talk of leaving a name for a goose has become a chicken plucking.
The four dishes and one soup made by Yang Huairen, as long as they pass in front of his eyes, will inevitably be looted, if it is not for Yang Huairen to protect him, the puffer fish is afraid that he will be eaten clean.
In the food culture of Chinese, it is too much to pay attention to, and even if it is a good thing, you can't eat more, especially not too much at one time.
The more delicious the food, the more it will hurt the sense of taste, and if you eat too much at one time, it is easy to get hurt. A shallow taste is a kind of elegance.
In comparison, Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang, the two prime ministers, seem to be much more literate when they eat.
Four dishes, one soup, five delicious dishes on the table, people did not rush to start chopsticks, first thanked the chef for his hard work, and then praised the appearance of the five dishes one by one.
The guests praised Yang Huairen, the host and chef, as more beautiful than the chrysanthemums blooming in the autumn breeze in the garden, and then began to fill a small wine cup and prepare to chant poems and wine to cheer up.
The rules are very simple, the first person recites a poem related to wine, if someone says the source of the famous sentence, the first person and the person who does not answer will be punished with a glass of wine, and the next person who answers will continue to write the question, and so on.
Although he is only more than a month older than Lu Dafang, Fan Chunren is still the eldest of the three, so he will ask the question first.
Fan Chunren looked out of the door, it was noon at this time, and remembered that the three of them drank in broad daylight, and couldn't help but smile, and then chanted: "You must indulge in wine when you sing during the day, and return to your hometown with youth." ”
Lu Dafang didn't think about it, and immediately replied, "Tang Dynasty Poetry Shengdu Gong Department's "Wen Guanjun Collects the River, South River, and North", hehe, Brother Yaofu, please." ”
Fan Chunren drank a glass of joy and praised it: "Suiyuanchun really deserves its reputation, good wine!" ”
Yang Huairen didn't answer, so he naturally had to be punished with a glass of wine.
When he read "Three Hundred Tang Poems" when he was a child, most of them only sought to recognize words, not to understand them, and they turned it over like swallowing dates, and there were not many things that could really be remembered.
The poems in the Chinese textbooks of primary and middle schools are all required to be memorized, and he has not had time to return them to the teacher, but the poems in the textbooks that educate young people may be afraid of teaching bad children, and there are really few poems about drinking and Fengyue, so compared with the two great literati, he suffered a big loss.
It was Lu Dafang's turn to ask the question, and I saw him pick up the wine glass in his hand, look at a few delicious dishes on the table, and immediately sang: "The golden bottle of sake is ten thousand, and the jade plate is ten thousand dollars." ”
After that, he didn't wait for others to answer, and drank the cup directly.
Fan Chunren said with a smile: "Brother Wei Zhong's question is too easy, this sentence is from the poet immortal Li Bai's popular masterpiece "Difficult to Walk". ”
Yang Huairen was familiar with it when he heard it, and he also remembered that it was Li Bai's work, but he didn't think of the name for a while, but he didn't answer it, so he had to be fined another glass.
This time it was his turn to come up with the question, Yang Huairen was difficult, if the topic was to praise the beauty or about Fengyue, he still had three or two sentences in his stomach, but about drinking, he couldn't remember it for a while.
However, Yang Huairen feels that singing other people's masterpieces is too low, so it is better to compose a poem himself, which not only shows his brother's literary talent, but also makes you two old men have nowhere to guess, this is called tall.
After two glasses of wine, Yang Huairen naturally had some poetry, picked up the wine jug and poured it for the two ministers, and groaned slowly.
"One cup, two cups, three or four cups, five cups, six cups, seven or eight cups, nine cups, ten cups, like drinking water, drunk and confused."
After Yang Huairen finished chanting, Lu Fan and the others really thought about it for a long time, not knowing the source of this poem.
"Let the two of them laugh, this poem is a temporary idea of the student, and it comes out casually, and there is no source."
The simpler the topic, the more difficult it is in the eyes of the master. Yang Huairen knew that his poetry could not compare to the two writers, so he drank another full cup.
Fan Chunren and Lu Dafang were quite generous, and they did not show dissatisfaction because Yang Huairen violated the rules, but because Yang Huairen did not follow the rules, they dared to be more interested in him.
After a few small dishes, after the two tasted it, they naturally appreciated it a lot.
Needless to say, the puffer fish is naturally fragrant and smooth, and it is highly praised, and the crispy fried river shrimp is very well controlled, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which is the small freshness of the season.
After eating the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, the two prime ministers didn't know how to praise them.
"I don't know what kind of side dish is used for this scrambled egg? The tender red color is pleasing, and when eaten in the mouth, it is sweet and sour, but it is a perfect match with eggs. ”
Yang Huairen introduced with a smile: "This red one is tomato sauce, made of tomatoes. ”
I thought they would ask what tomatoes were, but Yang Huairen was about to tell them how to make this home-style scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but the two old men were not interested in this, so they just buried their heads in eating the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Seeing this, Yang Huairen sighed in his heart, it seems that this prime minister, when he met food, it was nothing more than that. Sven, who was chanting poems and toasting in front of him, spent a long time eating four dishes and one soup in the back, and there was only a distance of three glasses of wine from Sven to scum.
After three rounds, everyone was slightly drunk.
Fan Chunren took the opportunity to ask tentatively: "From the old man's point of view, Schisandra not only has excellent cooking skills, but also has a good talent. ”
"Being an official?"
Yang Huairen sneered, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." ”
Why is that? Scholars take enriching the people and strengthening the country as their own responsibility, why is Schisandra willing to be a little cook? ”
"Actually, it's not that students don't want to, it's that I really can't."
Yang Huairen poured himself a drink, "The two ministers, you and the two elders are both prime ministers of the dynasty, do you think it is difficult to become an official and govern a county, a state, or even the entire country?" ”
Yang Huairen suddenly asked such a serious question, which caught Lu Fan and the others a little off guard, but it was okay, it was originally to test him, since he was willing to speak after drinking, let him continue.
Yang Huairen continued: "Lao Tzu has clouds, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, you are the prime minister and I am the same as a cook.
Governing the country is like making a side dish, let's just say that this home-style scrambled egg with tomatoes looks very simple, but it is actually delicious, but it is the most difficult. ”
