Li Ke saw that Li Zhi was still addicted to the traditional and rigid Confucianism and couldn't extricate himself, so he decided to guide this younger brother step by step to take a new enlightenment class, Zhengse asked; 'Childish slave, Confucius told you that a gentleman is a chef, but if Confucius tells you that a chef must be a gentleman. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info’

Li Zhi immediately scratched his head and replied with a confused face: "Confucius didn't say that. ’

Li Ke then said; Since the gentleman is a cook from afar, did Confucius say how far away this "far" is? Is it as far as your dormitory to the imperial dining room, or as far as Chang'an to Luoyang? ”

Li Zhi suddenly understood what Li Ke wanted to say, and suddenly said; "Brother Emperor Ke, do you want to say that Confucius's words can't be understood in a rigid way, just like Confucius said that a gentleman is far away from cooking, but there is no rule on how far away is. If he stipulates that "far" is the distance from the palace to the imperial dining room, then only the father and emperor in the world are gentlemen, and if he stipulates that Chang'an is far from Luoyang, then there is no gentleman in the world, right? ”

The little son with a pair of big black eyes next to him also reacted, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhi is so stupid, Brother Kehuang means that there is no inevitable relationship between the distance between the gentleman and the cook, but when the gentleman kills, he often has the idea of benevolence, so after a long time, the gentleman with benevolence will naturally not see the cook killing, so the gentleman doesn't want to stay with the cook, so he stays away from the cook." ”

Li Ke smiled at this time: "Childish slave, you can't read to death, some things don't necessarily have two sides, right and wrong, you can't think that it's either wrong or right, and you can't think it's right or wrong." If you want to give a new explanation to the gentleman's kitchen, then let me explain it this way, the gentleman is not necessarily the kitchen, and the chef is not necessarily the gentleman. Whether a gentleman is a gentleman or not, see if he has benevolence in his heart, if there is no benevolence, then no matter how far away from the kitchen is a villain, if there is benevolence to the people of the world, then even a small chef in the wine shop is also a gentleman. ”

Li Zhi suddenly realized and said: "Good, Brother Kehuang's remarks are very inspiring to Zhi. ”

At this time, Gao Yang had already eaten several pieces of lard residue on the side, and when he saw Li Ke and them finished talking about cooking, he blinked and smiled: "Then let's eat lard residue together." ”

Only then did Li Ke react, Caiyue had already sprinkled the lard residue with salt grains. The pigs of this era did not have feed pigs, and the water pigs and the like were all pure natural pigs. The lard residue made is extraordinarily fragrant. Add a little green salt, the taste is absolutely delicious, and a few little clever ghosts have already taken a piece and stuffed it into their mouths before they finished eating. Even the little son who doesn't like meat food secretly ate a few pieces.

At this moment, Li Ke didn't know that Lao Li, who had a serious daughter control, was already outside the hall of King Wu's mansion, and Lao Li, who hadn't seen his little son for two hours, was already on the verge of getting out of control, but Lao Li listened to Li Ke educating Li Zhi and felt the need to listen to Li Ke's true thoughts. So he didn't come in outside the door.

Hearing Li Ke's explanation, Lao Li nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart: "Since I took charge of the army, I have seen a lot of cooks in the army, and I am not also a gentleman." The young slave is too weak, his ears are soft, and he is easy to follow the clouds, so he will have to change teachers to teach him in the future. Lao Li Tian thought shamelessly.

Seeing that everyone was eating so happily, Li Ke still couldn't rest assured of Li Zhi's learning concept, after all, if Li Zhi was too weak, it might not be a good thing for him, so he said to Li Ke; "Childish slave, you will study in the future, you must first learn to question, as long as you don't understand, you must have the courage to question him, in order to learn better and deeper, the so-called paper is finally shallow, never know this matter to bow down, ask the canal that has to be clear as promised, for there is a source of living water, a needle and a meal is not easy, firewood, rice, oil and salt also need to know. The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article. Li Ke's mouth was full of witty words, and Li Zhi and Xiao Zizi and others who listened were dumbfounded.

At the same time, there were more than a few people present who were dumbfounded, but I saw a loud noise in the sky, and Lao Li really appeared.

The little son inadvertently glanced at the father who shouted outside the door, pulling Li Ke and the others back to reality from the food and out-of-tune verses.

Everyone saluted Lao Li and said, "See my father." ”

Lao Li saw that there was no drama to listen to, so he smiled and said: "No courtesy, no courtesy"

Then he strode up to his son, pretending to be displeased, and said, "How can my little son learn to deceive people, who gave you the idea, I will punish him to face the wall for a month." ”

The little son's eyes were foggy, and he walked up to Lao Li step by step, and said to Lao Li sincerely: "It's the little son who is not good, so my father is worried, don't blame the little son, this is for my father, it's delicious." As he spoke, he handed the lard residue to Lao Li as if he were offering a treasure.

Lao Li saw that the little son was coaxing himself with lard residue, and he immediately smiled. The dark face finally looked a little better. He held the little son in his arms, ate a piece of lard residue handed by the son, and praised: "This thing looks like meat but not meat, but the meat fragrance is different from the taste of meat, what is it?" ”

Li Ke hurriedly said: "This is the oil residue after Erchen boiled the lard with fatty pork, which is crispy and delicious, and it is enough to drink." ”

Lao Li was suddenly displeased: "Why do you use this to entertain your younger brothers and sisters?" "Actually, I don't blame Lao Li, people in this era have a bad impression of pork.

Li Ke was a little apprehensive and said: "This thing is just a pre-dinner snack, Ke actually prepared a main meal, please move the emperor to the dining room to enjoy it together." ”

Lao Li then changed his smiling face to the little son, and laughed: "The little son comes to the father, and the father will take you to a big dinner." After that, he went straight to the dining room of the Wu Wangfu under the guidance of the people of the palace. Li Ke and others also followed behind, and did not mention it.

When he came to the restaurant, Li Ke's mouth suddenly opened into a big O-shape, and he couldn't help but pat his head, it turned out that the drawings handed over by Li Ke to Foreman Jin did not draw the size ratio, so Foreman Jin used a super-large iron pot that Li Ke had seen in the countryside in his previous life to make mandarin duck hot pot.

Although the hot pot ingredients, broth, shabu-shabu, and dipping sauce are made, this hot pot can no longer meet the requirements of the Tang Dynasty's food distribution system, and this hot pot banquet has been transformed into the legendary spicy hot feast. Poor Li Ke already deeply felt the malice of this world in his heart, is it easy to eat a hot pot, and in the end, he was drunk after eating a spicy hot.

Comrade Lao Li looked at the steaming hot pot, and then at the lettuce and raw meat on the plate, with a blank face, and even a few younger brothers and sisters looked at Li Ke with a puzzled expression.

Since the Tang Dynasty was still a split food system, that is, everyone's food was evenly divided and everyone ate their own. So Li Ke didn't have time to prepare a big round seat. Li Ke pointed to the cauldron and said: "This thing is called Wen Ding, it can also be called a hot pot, a yin and yang pot, the red soup on the left side is boiled by red dogwood, spicy and appetizing after eating, and the white soup on the right side is boiled with bone broth. According to the different tastes of individuals, choose the red soup and white soup to put raw ingredients separately, which is ready to cook, fresh and delicious without losing nutrition. ”
