Chapter Twenty-Nine: Miserable... Miserable!

When Cai Yong and Acropolis walked over, they saw several young men and women lying on the stone table one by one, burying their heads in calculations, and they didn't bother, just stood quietly aside. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old steward Pan had already told the two of them everything, and then Cai Yong took a bamboo slip from Lu Cui to look at it, and he was immediately worried.

Ruan Yu saw that the teacher was already coming to the Acropolis, so they all saluted, and Yang Liu Cheng Xiwei was even more so, at this time, only one person did not move at all, the brush in his hand has been constantly converting, and the time of a few pillars of incense has been filled with several volumes of bamboo slips.

This person is Cheng Yu, Cheng Xi saw that Cheng Yu did not salute and wanted to explain, but Cai Yong immediately stopped him, he admired Cheng Yu's dedicated character, so several people settled down and began to calculate this "very difficult" arithmetic problem.

Wei Yu had already gone to the kitchen, he really didn't have much interest in the kind of topic, in the Han Dynasty, a hundred liters was equal to one stone, and this problem could easily be calculated as sixty thousand and twelve stones.

The small kitchen in the Weiyu courtyard was transformed into a storage room at the strong request of Weiyu. Because it was originally a storage room, this small kitchen seemed very spacious, except for two very clever cooks, Wei Yu did not put too many people in it.

And these two cooks are still Wei Yu's thousands of selections as twin brothers, the older Wei Yu calls him Lao Li, and the younger Wei Yu calls him Xiao Li. But they have a lot in common, they can understand Wei Yukong's methods, they also dare to try different cooking techniques, and both of them are under the age of Double Ten.

Every ingredient was carefully selected by Wei Yu, and at present, he really couldn't stand Ruan Yu Lucui and his ilk beating his chest, so he might as well come to the kitchen to make some dim sum to pass the time, and let these guests taste the Wei family's unique meals.

Dough making is no longer a problem, and the steamed buns made by the Wei family are very popular with the locals. Wei Yu originally just thought that the steamed bun was Zhuge Liang's invention, but later he learned that there were no steamed buns in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and now he estimated that this steamed bun should also be Zhuge Kongming's masterpiece.

A basket of fragrant steamed buns has been steamed, and Lao Li sent the steamed buns to the stone table in the courtyard under the command of Wei Yu.

Everyone who was still struggling raised their heads as soon as they smelled the unique fragrance of steamed buns. Yang Liu came here with the mentality of eating a big meal here in Wei Zhongdao, and as soon as he saw the food, he was the first to jump up and grab the steamed buns.

Cheng Xi saw his brother like this, so he also took the steamed bun and began to bite.

"Brother Bo, come and try it, you may only know that the Wei family has chess and the Wei family has refined salt in Luoyang, but you definitely don't know that our Wei family still has such delicious noodles."

Acropolis had already tasted his son's steamed buns, and he was full of praise for it, and immediately took out a package from the steamer and brought it to Cai Yong.

Cai Yong was still skeptical, but when he took the first bite, he was already crazy... It's not that he hasn't eaten pasta, I think he went to Lu Zhi's army back then, and he also ate the dead noodles in the army, but this thing called steamed bread is definitely the sweetest and most refreshing pasta he has ever eaten.

"This..."Cai Yong has an old impulse to tears, as a great Confucian festival, he has lost his life, even if he has a little savings, he will use it to buy books. When he ate the whole steamed bun, he felt that this thing must be very expensive, otherwise it would not be so delicious.

Cai Yong took the lead, where can a few apprentices be pulled down? Gu Yong was full of praise for this after eating, the younger Wang Cang on the side was already eating a steamed bun in one hand, Lu Cui Ruan Yu was also eating happily, even Cai Zhaoji was also taking a small bite of food, and she seemed to be a beautiful lady in public.

Gu Yong already has a very good impression of Cheng Yu, and when he had no way to convert it several times, he asked for a tutorial Yu, and he sat with Cheng Yu the closest, and he had already taken a steamed bun in his hand and put it in front of Cheng Yu.

"Brother Zhongde, come and try it, the taste is still very good."

Cheng Yu is a realist, there are so many literati here, and only Gu Yong can match his taste after he understands it once, plus he is a little tired from the conversion, so he smiled and took the small snack handed over by Gu Yong.

Cheng Yu was still very poor in his early years, he had eaten dead dough cakes like Cai Yong, and it was even more exaggerated to say that his meals were a dead dough cake many times, so when he ate steamed buns, he still had an indescribable taste.

When Cheng Yu was still sighing, Xiao Ru had already come to everyone with a basin of hot water, originally he must have washed his hands before eating according to his young master's habits, but before she could bring the hot water, the steamed buns in front of him had already been eaten.

She looked at Yang Liu with some anger, and it is naturally Yang Ziyi who has the best relationship, Yang Liu's big personality is very popular with Xiao Ru.

Similarly, because of Wei Yu's relationship, Yang Liu has never treated Xiaoru as a subordinate, and when he saw Xiaoru's eyes, he immediately felt embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoru, don't be angry, this son will clean his hands..."

Yang Liu shrugged Cheng Xi's shoulders, and the two of them took the lead in putting down the steamed buns and began to wash their hands in the copper plate.

Cheng Xi smiled and said: "Gong Cai, Uncle Wei, brothers, this clean hand is Zhongdao's requirement for us, according to Zhongdao's words, there is a lot of knowledge here.

Our hands are used to do things, so there is often some fine dust, and the brush we just used is usually left on hold, so there is even more dust. We all have to wash our hands before eating so that dust doesn't get into our mouths. ”

Looking at everyone's puzzled eyes, Cheng Xi immediately lowered his head and began to wipe his hands, what he said was actually very problematic, according to the original words of Wei Yu, the dust should be replaced with bacteria, but where would Cheng Xi, the ancient, understand, and still feel that the pronunciation of the word "bacteria" is very awkward.

"It's extreme, it's extreme!" Yang Liu echoed heartlessly, "This is Zhongdao's unwritten rule, just now he was greedy and forgot about it, now there is ready-made hot water, I hope it can be repaired." ”

When Cai Yong heard this, he felt more and more that Wei Zhongdao was a little unsimple, and the so-called guest was the host, and Cai Yong took the lead and began to wash his hands.

Another basket of dim sum propped up, this time there was more stuffing in the steamed buns, and this was the bun.

After eating a few bites, everyone felt that it was a blessing for their mouths, and they put down the questions they were converting in their hands and began to enjoy the snacks of the afternoon.

Afterwards, each person had a bowl of hot bean curd, coupled with Wei Zhongdao's unspiced fried tea, which made everyone feel like they were in a fairyland, chic and happy.

"Brother Jiang Ming, I didn't expect that there would be such a delicious meal on your Wei Mansion, and I, Cai Bojiao, am also a greedy person, can you give me one of this cook?"

Acropolis smiled proudly and replied: "There are many cooks in the Wei family, and my brother will go back to Luoyang to take it away, but Cheng is worried that the cook may not be able to make it so delicious..."

"Oh?" Cai Yong became interested when he heard it, this cook is all from your family, how can he not do it like this.

"Hey!" Acropolis sighed and said: "Brother Bo doesn't know, these snacks are all from the hands of the dog Zhongdao, although those cooks all learned from Zhongdao, I am afraid that they will not be good at learning!" ”

After Wei Cheng finished speaking, except for Cheng Xi and Yang Liu, he was surprised throughout the whole process, first of all, this Wei Zhongdao, as a child of a family, actually had such good cooking skills, but it was surprising. But Zi said: The gentleman is far away from cooking. Wei Zhongdao's approach can't help but make people look down on it a little.

Among them, the most proud one should be Cai Zhaoji, her father Cai Yong is a master of Confucianism, and he attaches great importance to self-cultivation, and Wei Zhongdao's liking in the kitchen will definitely make Cai Yong dislike, so her desire not to marry Wei Zhongdao is estimated to be a little more realistic.

Lu Cui also snorted coldly when he heard this, just now everyone was starting to convert with one mind, and they didn't care that Wei Zhongdao was no longer on the scene, but now he said this to give Lu Cui a wake-up call.

It was originally difficult for Wei Zhongdao to come up with this topic by himself, but now that Wei Zhongdao is not here, what is the matter with the heat of his own group of people?

Immediately displeased: "We are all present to calculate the problem, but Brother Zhongdao is in the kitchen, what is the reason?" ”

Lu Cui said it very tactfully, but everyone knew the meaning of it, he just wanted to say that Wei Zhongdao started to go to the kitchen because he couldn't answer the question, and wanted to use dim sum to confuse the public.

Acropolis's face was already a little dark, and Cai Yong couldn't help but reprimand him when he heard his disciple speak like this, who knew that a voice had already come out.

"That's not the case!"

When everyone looked at it, they saw Xiao Ru pinching the hem of her skirt and twisting it a little.

Acropolis saw that it was Xiao Ru who spoke, and he also knew that Xiao Ru's relationship with his son was extraordinary, so he asked the reason.

"Childe, he... He must be bored... Don't say it's a childe on such a topic... Even Xiao Ru already has the answer! ”

Cheng Yu, who was still converting, suddenly raised his head, and everyone stared at Xiao Ru.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Hearing Cai Yong's words, Xiao Ru couldn't care a lot, she was very reluctant to see her young master misunderstood.

"The army has a total of 200 parts, a thousand people in each department, that is, a total of 200,000 people, and consumes one liter of coarse grain every day, and 200,000 people consume 200,000 liters per day, which is 6 million liters in a month, that is, 60,000 stone of coarse grain."

Before Xiao Ru finished speaking, everyone's eyes flickered, especially Lu Cui couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill.

"And... There are also twenty people in Quhou, the military commander, the captain, the strategist and the general who sacrifice wine, a total of forty people, one liter of rice per day, and twelve stone of grain a month... So in total, an army of 200,000 consumes 60,000 and 12 stone a month! ”

Such a huge number was calculated so quickly by Xiao Ru, everyone was surprised, and they couldn't be surprised.

Cai Yong touched his long beard and thought for a while, then asked, "Little girl... I ask you how and when you figured it out! ”

Xiao Ru didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Cai Yong, and immediately replied respectfully: "Where is the slave and maid, there is any way, these are all taught to me by the young master, the slave and maid are stupid and only have the answer before the steamed buns come up, presumably the young master already has the answer before he goes to the kitchen... Otherwise, I wouldn't have made some snacks to pass the time. ”

Wei Yu, who had just prepared to eat and was about to come back, had already heard Xiaoru's last words in his ears.

There was a look of helplessness on his face... He didn't want to announce the answer at all, this time it was really "miserable... Miserable! ”
