Chapter 103: The Attitude of the Scholars
After teaching today's two dishes, the sky was much darker.
After the fifty people left, the helmsman and the four hall masters surrounded him, and Su Qin watched from a distance and looked at Zhaoyun with a sympathetic expression.
He had just stood with the famous disciples and heard the discussion between them. Zhaoyun wants to hand over the exclusive secret recipe to a group of ordinary people, which is really dissatisfying.
Since ancient times, it is good to let the emperor do it in advance, followed by these scholars, because most of them control the economic lifeline of the country, and it is even more exaggerated that during the Wei and Jin dynasties, the famous Wang Xie and the two families even became the real commanders of the country.
They unanimously agreed that these condiment recipes should be handed over to them, not those people who don't even have a surname!
"Holy Lord, can you excuse me?"
The five of them met Zhaoyun together, and Zhaoyun seemed to know their intentions, but he pretended not to know, and said with a smile: "Several, today's mobilization of manpower is thanks to the hard work of a few people." ”
The five of them saluted, and they didn't dare to say anything, but they didn't want the retainers of the Qinghe Cui clan to get straight to the point: "Holy Lord, can I ask what those exclusive condiments are?" ”
The other four didn't expect Lao Cui's temper to be so hot, and they didn't say any polite words. However, they didn't say much, but looked at Zhaoyun expectantly.
Zhaoyun smiled: "Condiments are condiments, if I say the name, and you haven't heard of it, how can you know?" ”
The Cui family said again: "How does the Holy Lord know that we have not heard of it? ”
Zhaoyun's face seemed to be much thicker: "Because I created it myself, I have never shown it to anyone, how do you know?" ”
Cui Shi was speechless, as if this should have been taken for granted, why didn't he think of it just now?
The Lu clan glanced at the reckless man of the old Cui family, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Holy Lord, give these secret recipes to the apprentice who has only known him for five days...... Seems a bit inappropriate, right? ”
"Oh?" The corners of Zhaoyun's eyebrows raised slightly, and he chuckled, "Why did Your Excellency say this?" ”
"My lord, imagine that these people don't know the roots, what if they get the secret recipe to do evil?"
Zhao Yun almost laughed silly, he thought that these people would think of some reliable reason to compete for the secret recipe, but he never expected such a strange remark!
What can you do with condiments? Put soy sauce and kill someone else? Soak your feet in vinegar and smoke someone to death? Or is it that cooking with too much oil suffocates people?
"Your Excellency has been overwhelmed, this is not a sword soldier, and it is harmless. What's more, I taught them this method in order to expand the number of people and let more people know about the existence of my gourmet. ”
Sun suddenly said: "But if you want to expand your reputation, wouldn't it be better to hand it over to our scholars?" What's more, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty! How can you protect your secret recipe? If you let outsiders know......"
"Alas!"
Zhaoyun sighed and directly interrupted Sun's words. He glanced at the four people, then at Tian Ying's retainers, and said, "I know, if I make a profit, it will not be wrong to find a monopoly of the scholar clan, but if I am not for profit, what should I do?" ”
The five people were stunned for a while, this is not for profit, so what are you for?
"Eating is a kind of culture, from drinking blood to slash-and-burn farming, and various ways of eating have been derived from the present. However, culture belongs to a nation, not yours, mine or the king of Qi, Qin, and Wei, he belongs to everyone. ”
"When a new eating culture is born, it may be monopolized by you, but sooner or later it will go to the people. The same is true for dishes, so are recipes, and so are condiments. I hope that more and more people will be able to eat new dishes, instead of eating bland and tasteless food all day long. ”
"I've said all this, whether you listen to it or not, I want you to understand a little bit. Etiquette, food, or names, these can be different in class and culture. Culture is a vehicle that represents all people, not just you and me. So I let ordinary people learn my secret recipe to get closer to the common people, not to make money. ”
The first criterion for Zhaoyun's judgment is not to be too popular. But this has left more people behind, because their living environment makes many people have to be philistine.
But why not teach a virtuous family or clan?
After listening to Zhaoyun's boastful talk, these five people only had one of the same reactions-
What the is this?
Eating has also become culture? ! Let's eat the same thing as the Shuren? No way! No way!
Zhaoyun's words didn't have any effect on them, but this was someone that even the King of Qi respected, how could they, the retainers of the Shi clan, dare to offend him?
Even if their sect master came, they didn't dare to be presumptuous.
However, they each looked at each other, seemed to understand, saluted Zhaoyun, and slowly left.
"You think they're going to give up if you say that?" As soon as the five people walked on their front feet, Su Qin walked up, expressing the worry in his heart.
Zhaoyun said with a smile: "I'm not stupid, and these people are not stupid. I couldn't even convince myself of those words just now. ”
This is half true, because Zhaoyun really wants to spread the cooking techniques of various dishes, so that all ancient people can taste the food, and then go down in history, gain fame and fortune, and even be worshiped as the only kitchen god by later generations.
But the road was bound to be difficult, for it would seriously affect the interests of kings, doctors, and nobles.
But what if there were some dishes that were only allowed to be eaten by the aristocracy? As the cooking method spread, many new dishes will surely spring up among the people, so that his purpose will be achieved.
He is not a philanthropist, because it will bring him fame and fortune, so he is willing to do it.
"Then why are you still -"
Zhaoyun said perfunctorily: "If I don't talk nonsense, how can these guys leave?" What if they pester me into the evening and still can't eat? ”
Su Qin nodded approvingly, and when it came to eating, he seemed to feel the same way.
"But after all, you only hid for the first time, and if they invite a big man later, what will you do?"
"With the hole card of King Qi, don't worry about this for the time being. The only thing to note is that these warriors are likely to woo these fifty people in many ways, so we must always be prepared to ......"
"Prepare what?"
The corners of Zhaoyun's mouth were slightly raised, and he said coldly: "Be ready to replace these fifty people at any time!" ”
Su Qin was so shocked that he almost jumped up: "Zhaoyun, are you going to fight against the Shi Clan?" King Qi doesn't dare to do anything to them on weekdays, it's not good for you! ”
"I'm from the Qin country, why are I afraid of their Qi country? When the time comes, I will flee back to the Qin State, and with my current reputation, I can still accept apprentices!" Zhaoyun sat on the stove, looked at the plates of failed glutinous rice lotus, and thoughtfully, "What's more, cooking skills are only my first judgment, but it doesn't mean everything." If you look at these dishes that are poorly cooked, although they fail, there are many dishes that contain the sincerity of the cook. ”
"Only by heart can you make good dishes. A cook who has been corrupted by capital, the dishes he makes are dead after all. So another criterion for my judgment is that you can't be co-opted by the scholars! ”
In Stephen Chow's kitchen god, he has repeatedly emphasized that the chef must be attentive, but his heart has long been rotten, and he is just defending his empty name, and he is no longer worthy of the name of the kitchen god. It wasn't until finally that he woke up and understood the true meaning of cooking.
Why are his films considered classics? Because his films are not only comedies, but his movies are also full of life.
"Do you care......
The cooks who were cleaning up the stove room heard this, and quickly remembered it in their minds, and all of them raised their awe of Zhaoyun by a few grades.
Intentions, which can be used in almost all walks of life, have become the motto of gourmets in an instant.
For nearly a thousand years after that, the cook could not know words, but he must be able to write and read a word, that is, "heart".
Su Qin looked at Zhaoyun silently, he felt that he seemed to be too much different from this young man. Why can a teenager do something that many people can't do in a lifetime?
Ten years from now, twenty years from now, what will happen to this teenager?
No, he didn't know, he couldn't even see the young man's eyes.
"Why do you have to pass on the secret recipe to people who are not relatives or clansmen?"
He couldn't guess this question alone.
"Because......" Zhaoyun smiled mysteriously, "I just don't like them!" ”
