Chapter 1025 An Unprecedented Poet (II)

The gift to Su Mai was two boxes, Zhao Xing asked for the stabbing sword back, and gave Su Mai four Japanese knives, a Taidao, and a dozen or so untie knives, followed by three pairs of armor of the middle class, and a few pieces of leather armor...... The other box is Goryeo bronzes.

Boxes of silk were given to the two ladies. Su Yu and Su were too young, and the two got a box of Goryeo dolls.

Su Dun received the most generous gifts, a whole box of children's clothes that children need, and then a box of puppet toys, gold and silver locks, and gold and silver collars...... The most precious is a jade plate with a pearl.

Just this pearl immediately shocked Su Shi, and he hurriedly refused: "Leave people, this thing can't be used by children, it's a long life, you quickly put it away." ”

The two ladies showed a slightly surprised look, but Su Shi did not explain, he sternly signaled Zhao Xing with his eyes. Since Su Shi mentioned the word folding shou despite taboos, and urged with his eyes again and again, Zhao Xing hurriedly put away the gift.

Afterwards, Su Shi sternly told everyone present that it was forbidden to say what he saw. Seeing Su Shi's panic, Zhao Xing understood - he knew "Walking Beads". Although this scholar had never seen a "walking bead", when he saw the shape of the pearl, he immediately remembered the relevant rumors.

Since he couldn't send out the beads, Zhao Xing took out a cloth bag from his body with his backhand and stuffed it to Mrs. Wang: "These are a few pearls that the student bought in the Wa Kingdom, which is far worse than the one just now. ”

Su Shi felt very embarrassed, Zhao Xing never showed an out-of-sight look, he regarded Su Shi as a relative from his heart. Just look at the fact that he gave away the priceless walking beads without hesitation, you know that this is a man of temperament, although he shows the eagerness to make money, but from this behavior, he actually doesn't care about money.

Do you still want to refuse? To be honest, Su Shi wanted to look at the pearls in the cloth bag before making a decision, but after thinking about it, what pearls were more precious than walking the beads, so he hesitated for a moment and acquiesced in silence.

He didn't have time to object, a certain anxious guest had already come, and after weighing it, he put Zhao Xing's matter aside and was in a hurry to receive the guest.

Cheng Azhu stood beside her all the time, not saying a word from beginning to end, she didn't even blink her eyes at Zhao Xing's generosity, her watery eyes only saw Zhao Xing's existence.

Zhao Xing bowed and retreated, Su Mai picked up a hand-untyching knife from his new harvest, followed Zhao Xing to test the knife, and when he got to the donkey, he found that the children all had a similar knife in their hands. They were also doing what Su Mai wanted to do - test the knife.

The knife was sharp, and with the presence of Sumai, the adult, the slaughter was done in a few moments, the donkey skin was cut into small strips and thrown into a large pot to boil, the donkey meat was cut into small pieces, the children were skillfully busy curing the meat and bagining the meat, and the bones were stewed into soup.

At noon, the guests arrived in twos and threes. On behalf of Xu Zhizhou, a petty official was present, and he brought Xu Zhizhou's greetings and gifts.

The Hundred Rice Feast is a feast of donkey meat. Large pieces of donkey bone soup are distributed among the villagers, and the delicate donkey meat is made into various dishes and served to feasts.

Today's chef is still Zhao Xing, which is what the participants are looking forward to the most. The last time he entertained Wang Gong, Zhao Xing once showed off his cooking skills, which Wang Gong remembered at the subsequent Mid-Autumn Festival, and those poet friends were attracted by his description and salivated at the delicious taste displayed by Zhao Xing.

However, Zhao Xing's identity is there, not everyone can force him to cook, not to mention that this person is a dragon, and he can no longer be found in Huangzhou City...... As a result, all the invitees were looking forward to the banquet, hoping to confirm Wang Gong's statement and experience it for themselves.

This time they got their wish, Zhao Xing showed better skills than last time, because after this sea trade, he collected all kinds of spices (condiments) to the greatest extent, the richness of the dishes, the variety of patterns, breathtaking.

Halfway through the banquet, Su Dongpo summoned Zhao Xing and formally introduced this eccentric protégé to his friend: "Everyone, this is the inferior Zhao Xing, the word is out of people...... Leaving people, this is Le Jing, the master of Huangzhou Supervisor, this is Hu Dingzhi, the supervisor of Qiting, and this is Pan Dalin, the poet of Fankou, and Pan Junfu ......"

Zhao Xing just nodded to the officials in front of him, but when he heard the name Pan Dalin, he asked in surprise: "But 'full of wind and rain' Pan Dalin?" ”

The young man who was dressed in cloth but calmly sat on the seat replied without arrogance or humility: "Exactly! ”

Zhao Xing's expression of not changing color for the officials, but for Pan Dalin, was in line with the fashion of the time.

The Song people are like this, although a white cloth without an official position, as long as he is talented and has written a few peerless poems, he can swagger and sit at a banquet full of officials, and the officials will call him "the minister in white clothes".

The Pan Dalin in front of him was not famous for a complete poem, he only wrote one sentence in that poem: "The city is full of wind and rain and is close to Chongyang." ”

Pan Dalin word Junfu, is a wine seller, earlier in Fankou opened a small hotel, fishing and selling wine for a living, Su Dongpo lived in Huangzhou, often crossed the river to Wuchang to find friends to play, occasionally settled in Pan Dalin's hotel, drank his brewed 'Pan Sheng wine', wrote down "remember from Fankou to carry spring wine, step up the West Mountain to find wild plums", and sent a book to Qin Shao to lobby "Fankou has Pan Sheng, wine mellow".

Pan Dalin is a star chaser in the Song Dynasty, he is good at reading but has failed many attempts, so he has not been able to become a star in his life. After hearing Su Dongpo's name, he immediately moved to Huangzhou - to learn poetry from Su Shi and travel to Chibi with Su Shi. He was also present when "Red Cliff Fu" was born. Later, he did not have the name of a Sumen disciple, but Huang Ting, the head of the Sumen disciples, insisted that he "has a flea poetry in Dongpo and a genius in the world", and later Lu You also said that he was "poetic and peerless".

Before the Double Ninth Festival this year, Pan Dalin's home had run out of cooking, so he had to lie in bed hungry. At this time, the autumn wind outside the house suddenly rose, sweeping away the fallen leaves. Then the heavy rain poured down, fierce, wind and rain, knocking on the door and knocking on the window.

Seeing this scene, the poet forgot about his hunger, and the poem flourished, and he wrote the first sentence of the poem: "The city is full of wind and rain and is close to Chongyang." ”

As I was about to continue writing, there was a knock on the door—it was a creditor who came to collect the debt. The poet had no choice but to say good things with the smiling face, and finally sent the creditor away, but the strong poetry also disappeared. This creation has no beginning and no end, leaving regrets.

But perhaps it is precisely because of this "regret" that the poem "The city is full of wind and rain is close to Chongyang" is famous all over the world and will be passed on to future generations.
