As soon as Scholar Bai appeared, it seemed that the floodgates had been opened, and the other adults of the Hanlin Academy came out one after another with their hands behind their backs, and they also walked to the door of Fang Hao's official room with a casual face, and looked inside, with an unpredictable smile on their faces.

Fang Hao had already prepared, he asked the two errand officers to go out and buy a few large baskets of gifts and put them in his room, at this time, they were taken out one by one and handed them to those old ladies who were full of style.

"Hello Lord Liu, this is the best tea cake that the lower official specially bought for you, please smile."

"Hello Dr. Li, this is the four treasures of the best study room that the lower officials specially bought for you, please smile."

"The horse book is good, this is a good wolf hair specially bought for you by the lower officials, please smile."

……

He has a very good memory, and he bought gifts for every colleague in the Hanlin Academy, and he is not strange to many people when he first arrives, besides, these adults will be their own bosses in the future, and they are happy to praise them, and no one is embarrassed to say that he is not lazy in the future?

When the adults heard that there were gifts, they came one by one when they heard the news, they all looked reserved and indifferent, and when they received Fang Hao's gifts, they all nodded slightly, not much, at most they smiled, and then Shi Shiran went back with the gifts.

Scholar Bai stood at the door of his Hongwen Hall with an interested face, watching the crowd in front of Fang Hao's door flow endlessly, and when the last old man walked away tremblingly on crutches, he came over and said with a smile: "Fang is young and promising, very clever, the old man is very optimistic about you." ”

Fang Hao hurriedly smiled and said: "Scholar Fang praises, praises, you will call me Fang Hao in the future, just like your own parents call yourself, it sounds kind." ”

Scholar Bai nodded, did not refuse, and said with a smile: "Fang Hao, let's go, go to lunch with the old man." ”

Fang Hao hurriedly said: "Scholar Fang, I am thinking about preparing a few tables of thin wine in Penglai Pavilion, and feasting on the adults of the Hanlin Academy, the right to be a young and ignorant kid, please give me more advice from my seniors in the future, what do you think?" ”

Scholar Bai was stunned for a moment, and thought for a moment: "Well, it's okay, but the big guys still have to be on duty in the afternoon, and it's not good to drink, so let's change it to the evening, at noon, we have a public lunch, which is provided free of charge by the imperial court, let's go and have lunch first." ”

Fang Hao suddenly realized, it turned out that the officials of the Great Song Kingdom still had the free lunch provided by the imperial court, and it seemed that the benefits were good.

There is a small arch of hanging flowers on the side of the backyard, and after walking over, there is a small courtyard inside, and in the middle of the yard is an old locust tree that hugs thick and does not know how old it is hundreds of years, and the huge canopy covers the entire courtyard tightly, and only a few rays of sunlight are fortunately projected on the mossy ground through the lush branches and leaves.

There are several rooms in the courtyard, this is the kitchen and canteen of the Hanlin Courtyard, the two cooks are also nearly sixty years old, and they bend their waists to bring the food to the dining hall on the side, Fang Hao frowned when he looked at the food.

greens, tofu, greens, tofu, greens......

If I go, there will be no other dishes?

The dining hall was very large, and more than thirty old Hanlin had already arrived, and the big guys didn't say a word, sitting in their seats and looking at their noses and noses, and looking at their hearts, drooping their eyelids and not looking at the food in front of them.

Scholar Bai sat at a table at the front, beckoning Fang Hao to sit down next to him, this is a separate meal system, everyone has two dishes and a bowl of rice in front of them, but when Fang Hao saw this boiled vegetables and boiled tofu, he immediately lost a little appetite.

Boiled, there is no color, even the green vegetables of this era have not been sprayed with pesticides, they are all green and natural health food, but this clear soup has little water without a trace of oil and tofu, what can it taste?

Scholar Bai raised his eyes and saw that everyone had arrived, so he picked up his chopsticks and greeted everyone with a smile: "Everyone, please have lunch." ”

A scholar is a scholar, and he is so polite even when he eats, and everyone strictly obeys the ancient precept of eating and not speaking, no one speaks, and the whole canteen is only a low sound of chewing, and other than that, only the sound of insects in the courtyard is clearly discernible.

Fang Hao sandwiched a chopstick boiled vegetables, and after chewing two bites, his complexion changed greatly, there was no taste, there was no taste, there was no taste, the important thing was said three times, the hemp skin was not salted.

He tried to taste the boiled tofu again, and I went, except for a smell of beans, which was no different from drinking plain water, and the rice was inedible.

Seeing that Scholar Bai was chewing with relish, he was a little puzzled, could it be that this is a new man who is being bullied by the cook? Deliberately didn't put salt in Lao Tzu's dishes to rectify Lao Tzu? It doesn't make sense, Lao Tzu hasn't offended the cook.

When Master Bai saw that he had eaten two mouthfuls of food, he raised his chopsticks and did not move, and his face was sad and in a daze, so he smiled and asked, "Fang Hao, why don't you eat it?" Could it be that this meal is not appetizing? ”

Fang Hao laughed dryly twice, and said in a low voice: "Not really, it's just, it's just that there doesn't seem to be salt in this dish." ”

Scholar Bai frowned and said, "Didn't put salt?" It's impossible, the chefs of Hanlin Academy have been cooking here for decades, and they have never forgotten to put salt. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of tofu in Fang Hao's plate and put it in his mouth, chewed a few bites and swallowed it, and said with a smile: "Let it go, definitely let it go, don't believe it, you can taste the old man's food." ”

He pushed the tofu in front of him over, Fang Hao also tried to put a chopstick in his mouth, almost didn't scold, it was all faded out of the bird's taste, put a hair salt?

Scholar Bai thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Oh, the old man understands, Fang Hao, we are all old people here, are we scholars, there is no appetite for mouth, and it is the most nurturing to be light." ”

Seeing that Fang Hao still had a sad face, he opened his mouth and shouted outside: "Lao Guo, come in." ”

The cook named Lao Guo came in with a smile and said, "Scholar Bai, what are the instructions for calling the little old man in?" ”

Scholar Bai said: "Old Guo, this newcomer is not lighter than us old people, so you can do it better for him in the future." ”

Lao Guo smiled all over his face: "Little Lao'er remember, Fang is waiting to be recruited, in the future, Xiao Lao'er will add more salt to your dishes, what do you think?" ”

Fang Hao just heard that Scholar Bai said that he would cook some good dishes for himself in the future, and he was overjoyed, but before he could say thank you, who knew that Lao Guo opened his mouth and said that he would put more salt, is this a problem that can be solved by putting salt?

Scholar Bai nodded happily and said, "Well, that's very good, very good, you can go." ”

Looking at the back of Lao Guo leaving, Fang Hao hung his head in frustration, gritted his teeth and pulled the bland and tasteless meal into his mouth, he also wanted to throw it away and not eat it, but I'm sorry, the readers of this era all advocate agriculture and mulberry, and they attach great importance to every meal and dish, and the other old Hanlin, including Bai Daxue, have eaten not a single grain of the food in front of him, how can he be embarrassed to waste it?

This meal, alas, is not as good as the food I ate when I asked for food on the street a few days ago.

Thinking that he would have to accompany these old rotten people to eat this meal in the future, Fang Hao couldn't help crying.
