Chapter 5 The gentleman is far away from the kitchen
The young and invincible beautiful girl Wang is called Wang Ziyu, the daughter of the former patriarch of the Wang family, and the niece of the current patriarch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info father Wang Tong, the word Zhongyan. He is a very talented person, although he has not been a high-ranking official, but he is very knowledgeable, and he is a very famous scholar and private educator.
After dinner, Wu Yuanqing's people quickly inquired about Miss Wang's information.
Wu Yuanqing didn't expect that Miss Wang turned out to be the direct line of the Wang family, and her father turned out to be the former patriarch. The current patriarch is her uncle.
Before the crossing, he himself was surnamed Wang, and he was also a side branch of the Wang family, and he also specifically checked the genealogy of the Wang family. Wang Tong, this person, Wu Yuanqing, has an impression. But not because of his learning, but because of his students and his grandson.
As a private educator, Wang Tong taught many disciples, the most famous of which were Xue Shui, Wen Yanbo, Du Yan and others. Xue Shui was the 18th bachelor of the Qin Palace, and Wen Yanbo and Du Yan were the later prime ministers. His younger brother Wang Ji is a poet and a pioneer of landscape idyll, and his unborn grandson is even more famous. It is the one who writes that Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, and the autumn water grows together in the sky; Wang Bo, a confidant in the sea and a neighbor at the end of the world, is the head of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Bo.
Miss Wang is one of her good partners, which is excellent, but how can you get close to Miss Wang. Wu Yuanqing didn't want to let people come to the door to propose marriage, that was too direct, and he would get married without a little emotional foundation, Wu Yuanqing still couldn't accept it.
I had a headache trying to figure it out, and I didn't come up with a clue until I fell asleep in a daze. The night passed like this, and by the time Wu Yuanqing opened his eyes again, it was already three poles in the sun, and the sun was drying his buttocks.
There is no mobile phone to play in this world, there is no novel to read, Wu Yuanqing can't find a reason to lie in bed, so he has no choice but to put on his clothes and go to the ground.
I was going to dress myself, but unfortunately I tried Wu Yuanqing and found that I didn't know how to dress. If you want to say that you came through time and can't wear it, it doesn't matter, but the previous owner of this body, that Wu Yuanqing, didn't even know how to wear clothes, and he was always served by people to wear clothes from childhood to adulthood.
Hey, the second generation of evil feudal officials. I like it, though.
"Zijuan, come in quickly, young master, I'm going to get up and get dressed." After discovering that he was not up to the task of dressing, Wu Yuanqing could only call the maid Zijuan to come in and help.
Zijuan is Wu Yuanqing's personal maid, and she has been bought to serve Wu Yuanqing since she was a child, so although she has already changed a soul in her body, Wu Yuanqing quickly adapted to letting people serve and wear clothes.
Zijuan is 15 years old, although it is not big, but the body has begun to develop with a sense of concave and convex, and the little maid is also beautiful, and her little face is red in the white, which is very cute.
As the second generation of evil officials, don't flirt with the maid, hehe, how can that. When Zijuan helped to get dressed, Wu Yuanqing kept teasing her, telling some small jokes with very connotations, don't look at Zijuan's age, but at this time, people are very precocious, you know, people who get married at the age of twelve or thirteen abound. Therefore, don't look at Wu Yuanqing's jokes, most of them can be understood. When you understand it, you will be shy, and your face will be even redder when you are shy. The hand in the clothes shook indistinctly, as if the young master would do something to her in the next second.
Wu Yuanqing naturally wouldn't attack Zijuan, not that he couldn't look down on it, the key was that he felt that Zijuan was too young, only fifteen years old, and he was still a junior high school child in his previous life. Although when he was in junior high school in the previous life, he secretly explored the mysterious area on the female classmate with his clumsy hands, but he was not young at that time. Now Wu Yuanqing is naturally not so beastly, he has the universal morality of his previous life, but he can't do this kind of thing.
After getting dressed, he washed his face with water from Zijuan, brushed his teeth casually with green willow branches and green salt, and the problem of breakfast was once again placed in front of Wu Yuanqing.
It's been a day since he came to the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Yuanqing felt that he could make do with other problems, but there were only two things, and Wu Yuanqing felt that he really couldn't continue to endure it. One is the problem of wiping your butt in the toilet, and the other is the problem of eating. It's a bit disgusting to compare eating to going to the toilet together, but that's the biggest problem right now.
At this time, people don't use paper to go to the toilet, because paper at this time is still rare, and they all use toilet chips, that is, a bamboo chip or wooden board to scrape, this thing can be scraped clean, and it is easy to get hemorrhoids. The martial family, when the government of the dynasty, has a big business and wealth, and the master's family naturally does not need to use the toilet to raise funds, and they use linen or brocade. But to be honest, this thing is not easy to use, especially Wu Yuanqing, who is used to toilet paper, and he doesn't like brocade slippery without leaving his hands. The problem of toilet paper, Wu Yuanqing has already mentioned it on the agenda, but this takes time to prepare, so it can be postponed.
As for the food, it is naturally top-notch, but it is this top-notch food, and Wu Yuanqing is the most unacceptable. It's not that the things to eat are bad, mutton, venison, etc., are all things that he didn't eat often or didn't eat at all in his previous life, but these top ingredients, he can't make them, it's all for nothing.
What we eat these years is either boiled or baked. There was no stir-frying at all, and the point was that even the boiling and roasting could not be done well. In his previous life, Wu Yuanqing was an out-and-out foodie, although he had no money and couldn't afford to eat anything too good, he could still taste ordinary home-cooked food. As an otaku, he likes to read all kinds of books, and cooking books are naturally more researched, and he also likes to do it himself, not a chef, but he is also a man with excellent cooking skills.
Seeing that it was almost noon, he simply didn't eat breakfast, and Wu Yuanqing decided to do it himself.
The eldest young master wanted to cook himself, and the news spread throughout the house within a short time of Wu Yuanqing breaking into the kitchen.
"What, you said that Yuan Qing went to the kitchen to cook his own food?" Yang Shi asked in surprise when he heard the maid's report.
The maid Zijuan looked embarrassed, and returned, "Yes, madam, the eldest young master dislikes the food and is not appetizing, and said that he will cook a delicious meal for you and the young master to taste."
Yang almost didn't faint, this ex's son, she really knows too well, not to mention that the four bodies are not diligent and the grains are not divided, it is not much different. Not to mention cooking, he can recognize the things in the kitchen, and thank God he doesn't think of sugar as salt. No, I can't let him do such nonsense, not to mention whether he can do it well, and his identity shouldn't do this. Cooking is a subordinate business, if this is spread out, the little grandfather of the Ying Guogong family will be laughed at by others when he cooks in the kitchen.
Yang led the maid to the kitchen, followed by the two big girls and two little Lori, who were ready to see the lively big girl and the two little Lori, to take a good look at how the eldest brother made good food.
When Yang entered the kitchen, Wu Yuanqing was teaching the cook how to choose meat and how to shred. At this time, pork was eaten by ordinary people, and people with a bit of status disliked its fishy taste and regarded it as an inferior ingredient. It's already very good for ordinary people to eat meat, so naturally they don't know much about pork, and the chef of the samurai family naturally doesn't know either.
Different parts of pork have different ways to eat when cooking, and the taste of meat in different positions is also different. The tenderloin is the most tender on the pig, and the meat at the tip of the rump is relatively old. Stir-fry and choose the tip of the hip before and after; stewed and eaten to buy pork belly; Stir-fried lean meat is best through the spine; To make dumplings and buns, you need to buy the tip of the front buttocks.
Pork should be cut obliquely, the meat quality of pork is relatively fine, less tendons, such as horizontal cutting, after frying becomes messy and scattered, such as oblique cutting, it can be made not broken, and it does not stuff teeth when eaten.
"Yuanqing, how can you come to a place like the kitchen, this is not what you should do, if the food they cook is not to the taste, let the housekeeper find a better cook for the mother, you must have delicious meals to eat" Yang's face was unhappy, but he still persuaded gently. Stepmothers have always been difficult to be, and the discipline is strict, and everyone will say that stepmothers treat their children harshly. The discipline is loose, and everyone will say that the stepmother does not care about the child and does not fulfill the duty of education, and it is always the stepmother who is wrong anyway. Now Yang feels that he is such a stepmother, and he is really aggrieved.
"Big brother, you have to listen to your mother's words, Mencius said that a gentleman is far away from cooking, and the person who enters the kitchen is not a gentleman" Wu Daya's crisp voice came from behind Yang.
Wu Yuanqing didn't expect that Wu Daya would be able to say such a thing, it seems that she is a baby who loves to learn, but unfortunately she still misinterpreted the meaning of this sentence, but now many people understand it like this, and it is no wonder that Wu Daya. He was about to show off and tell Wu Daya the original meaning of this sentence, but he didn't expect that Yang had already spoken first.
Yang raised his hand and patted the eldest girl's forehead gently, and said angrily: "Let you follow Mr. to study hard, that's how you study, if Master Meng is good, he actually misinterpreted you like this."
The big girl bent her neck and stuck out her tongue, and whispered, "Isn't that the case?"
"Of course not, the original sentence of "The Gentleman's Far Kitchen" from "Mencius" is that the gentleman is to the beast, see his life, and can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who is far away. It was King Xuan of Qi who asked Mencius about his views on the Duke of Qi Huan and the Duke of Wen of Jin dominating the Spring and Autumn Period. In answer to this question, Mencius said something about King Qi Xuan's idea of using a sheep that he had not seen to be sacrificed in place of an ox that he had seen. It is said that King Qi Xuan's unbearable heart is a manifestation of benevolence, just because he saw the cow with his own eyes at that time and did not see the sheep. A gentleman can't bear to see birds and beasts alive when he sees them alive; When I heard them cry, I could not bear to eat their flesh. Therefore, the gentleman is always far away from the kitchen, and the gentleman here is far away from the kitchen, but it is just a psychological state that cannot bear to kill. It's not that a gentleman can't go into the kitchen, and it can't be understood that whoever enters the kitchen is not a gentleman, understand"? After Yang finished speaking, he looked at Wu Daya, Wu Erya, and then at Wu Yuanqing.
"Understood, mother," the three brothers and sisters hurriedly nodded.
"My mother is really knowledgeable, where do my sisters need to invite a gentleman in their homework, it is enough to have my mother to teach me," Wu Yuanqing patted his ass.
Yang was very useful, and her smiling eyes narrowed, but she hadn't forgotten Wu Yuanqing's cooking, "Although the eldest girl's understanding of the gentleman's cooking is not right, but Yuanqing, you are the eldest young master of the Principality's Mansion, and cooking is not something you should do, and it will be laughed at if it is passed on."
"I cook to cook something delicious for my mother and younger siblings, and it's a good thing to honor my mother and my younger siblings, what reason do they have to laugh at," Wu Yuanqing pouted and said. Although the main reason for cooking is that he wants to eat it himself, the reason he finds is very high. But Wu Yuanqing is not wrong to say this, he originally had the idea of letting the Yang family and his younger brothers and sisters taste the food of the future, whether others believe it or not, anyway, he himself believed it.
Hearing Wu Yuanqing say this, the Yang family has no reason to object, and he is very happy in his heart, his stepson has always been not very close to him, and he is also a little cold to his two sisters, but he didn't expect that after being sick, he was like a different person, not only did he treat his sister a lot, but he was also a lot closer to himself, and the voice of his mother was also very sincere, and he also wanted to cook, which was much stronger than the previous clothes to reach out and open his mouth, and he could also have an explanation for his father Wu Shiyan in the future.
Although he is not very optimistic about his stepson's first cooking, Yang still has a little expectation. The gentleman is far away from cooking
