Chapter 43: The Cook's Question
A few more days passed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Ningyuan County is still as usual, still lively.
It seems that those people on the rivers and lakes are not here to seize the cheats, but simply come here for vacation, there are no fights, no killing, and some are just many people competing for rankings on the competition platform every day, and the people who watch are still relishing.
Ningyuan County has become more and more prosperous, and there will be many people who gather here every day, whether they are local or from other places.
Restaurants and taverns also began to be built, and the number of merchants began to increase, and the deficit in the county government not only filled in, but also earned thousands of taels of silver.
Such a speed of making money is absolutely unprecedented in the counties of Jian'an Province.
This situation made the people of Linxian fall through their glasses, they originally wanted to see the jokes of Ningyuan County, before that, no city was willing to let a bunch of people who ran the rivers and lakes gather together.
But now it's different, the county next door also followed Ningyuan County and held a "martial arts conference", but the effect was far less good than Ningyuan County.
In addition to dealing with daily official duties these days, Mo Qian would also go to the young man every morning to compete.
After the devastation of the past few days, Mo Qian has practiced a set of swordsmanship to maturity, and he does not spare time to cultivate at night, although the realm has not improved, but he feels that his strength is constantly filling.
As for Gu Yushi's side, I don't know if it's because of Li Wuxin, since the restaurant, no one has come to harass him, it seems to be a laissez-faire attitude, no matter what, without these troubles, Mo Qian is happy to be idle, originally what he wanted was such a quiet life.
"Interesting, you go on, don't stop, what happened to that little monkey later?"
This eager voice, and the eagerness for the story, are white people when they hear it.
At this time, it is dusk, the glow of the sun, the cool breeze of the night hits, blowing people feel comfortable, there are several trees planted in the back hall of the county office, and a large area of shade is the benefit of pastime.
Bai Daoren, Gu Yushi and Mo Qian set up a few tables under the shade of this tree, sat around, and on the table were a few small dishes prepared by Mo Qian, although they were only made simply, but the taste was very unusual.
Bai Daoren picked up a piece of yellow stewed chicken and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Speaking of Miss Gu, I originally thought that the women who walked the rivers and lakes would only fight and kill, and they were very arrogant. I don't expect to take care of family affairs or something, but I didn't expect you to do this dish, this chicken is tender and delicious, smooth and springy, it is really wonderful, presumably there is a way to run a family, if anyone marries you, it is really blessed. ”
Although he remembered the story of the monkey, Bai Daoren still didn't forget to praise Gu Yushi.
When Gu Yushi heard this, he was rarely shy, and said embarrassedly: "Daoist, you misunderstood, this dish was not made by me, it was made by Brother Mo." ”
Gu Yushi was embarrassed not because this was Mo Qian's cooking, but because Bai Daoren was right, Gu Yushi was indeed only arrogant, fighting and killing, which Mo Qian suffered deeply.
"Oh, really?" Bai Daoren's face did not change, and he faced Mo Qian and said, "Mo Xiaoyou is not only brilliant and well-governed, but also knows how to cook, which is really rare, if anyone marries you, it will be really blessed!" ”
"Poof......" Mo Qian squirted out all the wine in his mouth when he had just drunk.
Originally, I wanted to hear how this Baidao man praised himself, after all, in order to learn the lavender omelet rice that the girl likes to eat in modern times, he also studied in an orient for two months, and even got the certificate, he didn't believe that even the stomach of an ancient man could not conquer.
As a result, he changed half of his words when he praised Gu Yu, and threw over the panacea such as "Blessed if I marry you".
What to marry, I'm a dignified man, and I never planned to become a little shou.
Gu Yushi also covered his lips and snickered, he was so happy to see Mo Qian eating him, although he had been repairing him, but it was only in force, and he always felt that he was crushed by his IQ, which made Gu Yushi, who had instilled in himself the idea of not admitting defeat since he was a child, very angry.
Bai Daoren paused for a moment, and then said, "Mo Xiaoyou is talented and intelligent, which is commendable, but this sage has clouds, the gentleman cooks far away, and no matter how good the dishes are, it is not the right way of the gentleman after all, Xiaoyou, since you have achieved fame, you are in charge of the people in this radius of a hundred miles, and you must put your mind on governing the people, don't spoil your right path because of the small way." ”
Mo Qian was a little angry when he heard this, this gentleman's words of cooking far away have actually affected the other world, but no matter what world it is in, it is understandable that not only has the chef been discriminated against for thousands and hundreds of years, but the diners have not been able to enjoy better food, isn't this self-inflicted?
Mo Qian said: "The Tao is long-looking, according to what you said, the gentleman is far away from cooking, the sage did say this, but when the kid was studying before, he had read the meaning of the sage's literature, not that he despised the person who cooked, the Taoist can imagine, if there is no person to cook, what do we eat?" Killing and cooking is despicable, so isn't it even more despicable for those of us who eat the food of the killer here? I read in the book that a gentleman is like a beast, and he can't bear to see his death when he sees his life; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. The sage's words are just a warning to the world to be kind and not to kill at will, and the sage is just a benevolent and righteous treater, a metaphor, and a benevolent and righteous treater, not to make us disdain to cook, but really to distort the meaning of the sage by our descendants. ”
Bai Daoren was a little surprised when he heard this, this remark is different from most of today's self-proclaimed gentlemen, if you say that you listen to them, I am afraid that you will not be recognized, just think about it, it is really the same thing, the person who kills and cooks is lowly, I am afraid that the person who eats is not much noble.
I really am, I have been a Taoist priest for most of my life, and even these things have not been understood by a later generation, Bai Daoren shook his head and smiled: "I am a Taoist priest, and I am not a monk, what kind of appearance, but Xiaoyou's words are indeed very reasonable, such shameful words, but fifty steps and a hundred steps, Taoist I am ashamed." ”
Gu Yushi was also listening to the ripples next to him.
For so long, she only saw Mo Qian using his cleverness to make money, sometimes he seemed to be a profiteer, and he would make some delicious things, but this was just a small way in her heart.
Although she also saw him desperately defending himself, after all, she didn't see the spirit that an imaginary reader should have, which made her a little disappointed.
What he said this time not only showed his mind, not to be affected by the outside world's secular public opinion, and to stick to his own heart, but also what he said was also very in line with Gu Yushi's mind, if the cook is a lowly person, then what are these people who run the rivers and lakes?
Not judging the level by occupation, this is the temperament of a literati.
Bai Daoren said: "Well, what Mo Xiaoyou said is indeed reasonable, but although this food can satisfy your cravings, it is not as good as listening to the story, Mo Xiaoyou, come on, what happened to that monkey after making trouble in the Heavenly Palace?" Taoist, I'm worried. ”
Mo Qian smiled, "Don't worry, Dao Chief, there is a reluctant request below, Wan Wang Dao Chang can agree, the kid has been yearning for martial arts since he was a child, but he has never had the opportunity, and now he sees the Dao Chief's peerless martial arts, I worship it very much, I hope that the Dao Chief can teach me a trick and a half, and it will also fulfill my wish." ”
Bai Daoren's eyelids jumped, "What will happen to you if I don't agree?" ”
Mo Qian smiled gently: "Don't worry, Dao Chief, even if you don't promise me, I will continue to tell you stories." ”
Bai Daoren's heart was relieved, it was good to listen to the story, and it was a big deal not to eat the dishes made by this kid in the future, so as not to be poisoned.
I only heard Mo Qian say lightly: "It's just that the story I will tell the Taoist in the future, and the final ending is a tragedy!" ”
Bai Daoren covered his chest tightly, and said with a hideous face: "Okay, you are ruthless enough!" Big deal, I'm ......."
Mo Qian tilted his head, "What's the big deal?" ”
Bai Daoren's face was struggling, and finally he said dejectedly: "It's a big deal, I'll teach you......"
"Deal!" Mo Qian's face was overjoyed, knowledge is power, and he deceived a martial arts teacher.
"You don't tell the story yet." The people of the White Dao felt deeply powerless.
"Okay, good, the story is here, last time I talked about the seventh chapter of Journey to the West: Escape from the Great Sage in the Gossip Furnace, and the Ape ...... under the Five Elements Mountain"
