Chapter 89: Unintentional Willow Insertion

Thank you for the tip!

……

As soon as Zhao Guangde spoke, he regretted it a little. He looked at Wuxian with a sneer, for fear that he would reprimand and ridicule him, as his own father had done.

Because, the gentleman is far away from cooking, which is the consensus of this era. As a noble doctor, how can Zhong Ming Dingshi's son cook with his own hands? Do that and the lowly business that the kitchen and other small talents do?

However, Zhao Wuxian's reaction surprised Zhao Guangde.

Wuxian quietly listened to his words, then slapped his hands and smiled, and said: "Birds have bird paths, fish have fish paths, and people have their own aspirations and interests, in my opinion, there is no distinction between high and low, cousin don't be afraid, come, sit down." ”

Zhao Guangde scratched his head, and after sitting down, he laughed, a little embarrassed by Fang Cai's gaffe.

But after listening to Wuxian's silence for a while, he said: "In the future, my cousin will often come back to Chengyi with me, in this courtyard, you can do whatever you want, just don't think that I neglect you." ”

Zhao Guangde was overjoyed in his heart: "What my cousin said, is it true? ”

"Naturally, it's true, what's more, my brother doesn't have to feel inferior, the gentlemen who have entered the kitchen have been uncountable since ancient times. In the past, there was a flint clan, drilling a flint to make fire, in order to dissolve the fishy shame, and the people said it; There is also a Ku sacrificial family, raising sacrifices to cook cooks, so it is called Ku sacrifice; Later, Shennong, Houji, Yiyin, etc., needless to say. And in modern times, Lao Dan, the historian of the Zhou Dynasty's Tibetan room, is also one of them, otherwise, how could he have the metaphor of 'governing a big country like cooking a small fresh'? ”

"If my cousin can make food that can be shared by all people, it is also a kind of joy with the people."

As a person of later generations, Wuxian will not be disdainful and strange about Zhao Guangde's thoughts. In the original history, Mencius interpreted the sentence of the gentleman who is far away from the cook: "The gentleman is also a beast, and he can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, he couldn't bear to eat his meat, and he was a gentleman who was far away from cooking. ”

Although the cloud can't bear it, but after serving it, "I can't get tired of eating, and I don't get tired of being fine", to put it bluntly, it is false benevolence and false righteousness. is like Qi Huan Gong Xiaobai, who prides himself on being a benevolent, righteous and wise monarch on the surface, but secretly eats the flesh of babies without feeling guilty at all, and many princes and doctors in the world are even more unbearable, and the harsh government and cruelty are better than tigers and wolves cannibalism.

Cannibal flesh is so calm, why bother with the lives of a few beasts?

What's more, the Spring and Autumn aristocracy has many strange hobbies: some like to engage in civil engineering, some like to kill the living and sacrifice, some like to pretend to be women, some like to cuckold themselves by their wives, some like to wear mistresses to the court under court clothes, and even change ...... Wife playing.

Zhao Guangde's hobby is just the next kitchen, harmless to humans and animals, what is it compared to?

Zhao Guangde, who was on the other side of the case, was a little moved after hearing this, and he said: "My cousin's words make my brother think deeply, he is really my confidant!" ”

Zhao Wuxian said with a smile: "Since my cousin is interested in the art of cooking, this bean curd can continue to be made into hard tofu, and it has a unique flavor, can you try it again?" ”

Not to mention Zhao Guangde's whimsical idea that a set of processes such as shirtless can make three different flavors of food. Over there, Mu Xia, Wei and Yuan also enjoyed a handful of hot tofu flowers, and then they were asked to pour the soft tofu flowers into a wooden lattice covered with linen, squeeze out the water, and press them into brine tofu.

With the tolerance of his cousin, Zhao Guangde was bold, and under the guidance of Wu Xian, he personally went into the kitchen to cook the preserved food and reconcile the taste.

So, in the evening, in the banquet of the villagers in the township temple, there were more new dishes such as shallots mixed with tofu, fried tofu, and sunflower tofu soup on everyone's table. Ji Qiao, Cheng Wu, Dou Pengzu and others were full of praise, and they all praised the cooking skills of the people in the house.

Of course, Wuxian had already instructed the two maids not to tell others that these were done by Zhao Guangde.

Because of the little fat man's cooking skills, he was also impressed, and secretly said that he had picked up a partial talent, and all kinds of delicacies in later generations would be dictated by him in the future, so that Zhao Guangde, who was extremely enthusiastic about cooking, would make it.

This can be regarded as an unintentional willow planting.

……

Early the next morning, when the rooster first crowed, the Chinese people remembered the promise made by Zhao Wuxian yesterday, so they got up from the couch, and after washing, they took a big bag of beans, or carried or a two-wheeled vehicle pulled by manpower, and went out to the village temple.

In the fourth part of the Cheng clan, there were so many sneaky Cheng clan people, mixed in the crowd, saying something unfavorable to Zhao Wuxian in a weird manner.

"This year's soybean harvest is good."

"It's good, thanks to the gentleman's Daida method."

"The second and third sons were fooled, and they only saw the increase in income in front of them, but they didn't see that the Zhao gentleman would increase taxes this year."

When it came to their own interests, the faces of the countrymen changed suddenly: "Where did you hear this?" ”

The Cheng clan said matter-of-factly: "In previous years, when Cheng Weng was in charge, the beans picked were all kept by himself, and he didn't have to hand them in. Now it's good, the gentleman of the Zhao family is building civil engineering equipment and digging ditches everywhere in the township, so that Sang Doujia Sanli and the savage hooligans can benefit, but I and other clansmen are poor. Finally, this soybean has increased its income, and it has to be taken to the township temple, and it is really a goose that has to be plucked. ”

Some people argued: "False! Yesterday the gentleman refused our offer, but today he will have a gift for us. ”

The Cheng clan sneered: "Stupid! The gentleman of the Zhao family politely refused in the Keju field yesterday, but in fact, he disliked the too little offered by Er and others, and planned to slaughter it fiercely. If you don't believe it, you won't be able to get back any of these beans you brought, and all of them will have to go into the treasury of the township temple! ”

Last year, Zhao Wuxian's blow to the Cheng clan was too strong, which made many people of the Cheng clan jealous, so when this clan said it, some people couldn't help but hesitate, and even a few of them carried burlap bags and returned.

However, on the side of Dou, Sang, and Jia, no one dared to instigate it like this, so when the sparse crowd of the Cheng clan arrived outside the township temple, it was already extremely lively. The people of Sanli lined up in a long line, and there was a circle in front of them, as if they were watching something, and from time to time there was a sigh of surprise.

The people of the Cheng clan looked at each other, and after asking, they realized that it was the strange stone tools that the Zhao clan had asked the craftsmen to quarry before, and they were showing their usage.

Everyone came in to take a look, but they couldn't take their eyes off it.

Six or seven stone mills started at the same time, and after the plump beans were poured in, the output was viscous bean juice, which was filtered with kudzu and linen cloth on the side; There are those who squat in front of the clay kettle and boil on the fire.

The milky white hot soy milk was fragrant, and all the patriarchs and lixu each served a bowl, drank it with white foam, and praised it. There is also a bit of salt and brine on the side, and there is pressed tofu, which dazzles the onlookers.

Those Chinese people who have entered Xinjiang and seen the world feel that it is even more magical than the tricks performed by Qi Di Zhengyou!

It turned out that the people present yesterday, not counting Zhao Guangde, Mu Xia, Wei and Yuan had already memorized this set of processes, and let them teach it to the Chinese people in Chengyi, so they carried forward the process of making soy milk and tofu.

After the patriarchs of Dou, Sang, and Jia Sanli took the lead in trying it, the three elders of the township Chengwu wore fur clothes and stood on the mound and declared to everyone: "This is the gift that the gentleman gave to you!" All the beans milled today are free, and not a single grain will be paid! ”
