The Battle of the Kingdoms Chapter 151 Food reigns supreme
The more Wu Ye reads, the more fascinated he becomes, and he feels that a few numbers explain the truth of the eternal distance.
It is enough to be able to read this scripture today, and Wu Ye is even a little reluctant to go through the remaining volumes, for fear of swallowing dates and destroying the heavens.
When Wu Ye walked out of the room, Huang Cheng was already waiting at the door, glanced at the bookcase in the room, and said, "Young man, where are you going?" ”
Wu Ye asked, "Is there dinner in Honglu Temple?" ”
Huang Cheng stretched out a hand and said, "If you have money, you will have dinner, and if you don't have money, you won't have it." ”
Wu Ye was well prepared, took out another bag of knife coins from his arms, and handed it to Huang Cheng.
Huang Cheng opened the bag, frowned and said: "There are not many places where this kind of currency can be used in Luoyi, you can't buy any food, the young man is the one who won the Zheng Kingdom, and tomorrow the court will see the king of Zhou and immediately add the glory of the official knighthood, this severed meal, ahh ”
Wu Ye thought about it, took out a gold ingot from his arms, Huang Cheng's originally squinted eyes immediately opened, took it in his hand with a smile, and said: "This thing is what Luoyi people like, delicate and restrained, not as rough as knife coins, bulky and ugly, like a mason in your hand." ”
Huang Cheng put the gold in his bag and said, "The young man is waiting in the temple, the old man will go and buy some good wine and good food and come back, and cut off your head at night, ahh ”
Wu Ye didn't stay in Honglu Temple honestly, Huang Cheng left with his front foot, and he followed out of Honglu Temple with his back foot. This time he walked west along the street, and passed by the gate of the palace again, but he did not see any guards, and the gate of the palace was also closed.
There are nine bronze tripods erected on the square in front of the palace, originally King Wu of Zhou collected the gold of the world after destroying the merchants, and the sales were cast into nine tripods, so as to show that the world no longer raised troops, and the meaning of the Great Zhou Dynasty was embraced.
At this moment, the square is no longer guarded by soldiers, and Wu Ye can approach Dading at will, and no one will stop him.
Wu Ye rubbed the inscription on the bronze tripod, quietly feeling the glory of the Zhou room when it was just established, these nine tripods are the symbol of the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty, when the Zhou Dynasty declined, these bronze tripods did not fall in the grass, no one cared.
Further west, equally dilapidated mansions and deserted streets.
Prosperity has its own characteristics, and decay is only due to withering.
Wu Ye soon lost interest in this lifeless Luoyi, and when he walked back, before he entered the Honglu Temple, he smelled a smell of meat.
Huang Cheng squatted in the courtyard, in front of him was the fire that had just been erected, on top of the copper grill, a suckling pig was roasted with oil and shiny, sizzling, just the attractive color and aroma made people salivate, Huang Cheng also continued to brush the seasoning on the suckling pig, the aroma was even stronger.
Wu Ye hurriedly closed the door, feeling that this kind of delicacy was a loss if the fragrance ran away a little.
Huang Cheng glanced at Wu Ye, who came back, and said happily: "Stinky boy, you are blessed, you happened to be met by the old man and someone was selling suckling pigs, you are fortunate to be able to taste the old man's craftsmanship." ”
Wu Ye took a snort of the aroma and quipped, "Doctor Huang Cheng, you are so skilled, you won't be a chef before, right?" ”
Huang Cheng glanced at Wu Ye strangely, and said leisurely: "The old man did work as a catering manager in the palace, and Honglu Temple Zhiqing was just a part-time job. ”
It turned out that the part-time job in the Zhou Dynasty was a common phenomenon, and Wu Ye could only comfort himself like this.
Huang Cheng said while roasting: "Young man, have you read the book on the table?" ”
Wu Ye touched his stomach and said, "Well, it's very mysterious, does Doctor Huang know who left it?" ”
Huang Cheng said: "The stinky boy still has a little eyesight, that is the original text of the Tao Te Ching, carved by Lao Tzu himself." ”
Wu Ye was surprised: "Ah, it's Lao Tzu's handwriting, but why haven't I read this article in the Tao Te Ching?" ”
Huang Cheng sneered: "There are only thirty-three Tao Te Ching in the world, in fact, there are eighty-one chapters in the real original text, and what you can see is only less than one-third of the scriptures, and only in my Da Luoyi can I have the opportunity to see Lao Tzu's handwriting." ”
Wu Ye hurriedly asked: "There are only four or five books on the table, and even if they are full, they are only six or seven chapters, so what about the other authentic Tao Te Ching?" ”
Huang Cheng shook his head and said, "How do I know." ”
Wu Ye asked, "Then how did Doctor Huang know that the original text of the Tao Te Ching has eighty-one chapters?" ”
Huang Cheng said triumphantly: "Lao Tzu once preached for the first king in the palace, the old man had the honor to listen to it when he was young, and the eighty-one chapters of the Tao Te Ching were not missing, all in my heart, it was really a strange text." Well, Marvel. ”
Wu Ye respectfully bowed his hand and said, "I also hope that Dr. Huang can silently write the scriptures, so that the full text of the Tao Te Ching can be circulated in the world." That's a great merit. ”
Huang Cheng said nonchalantly: "Lao Tzu doesn't care about the existence of thirty-three articles, what qualifications do I, a hearer, have to make decisions for Lao Tzu?" ”
Wu Ye was speechless, and just as he sighed for the mutilation of the Tao Te Ching, Huang Cheng said, "Hey, it seems that you can eat it." ”
Wu Ye immediately forgot about it, sat cross-legged beside Huang Cheng, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and never mentioned the Tao Te Ching again.
Huang Cheng divided the suckling pig slices into two parts, and unceremoniously picked up the big one and gnawed it.
Wu Ye picked up the suckling pig and gently took a bite of the crispy skin on the surface, the crispy skin was crispy in the mouth, with a faint sweetness of spices, the roasted meat inside was suddenly exposed to the outside, the aroma was visible to the naked eye, the golden oil beads rolled on the meat, Wu Ye took a deep bite, it felt like it was containing meat juice, it was extremely tender, and it was swallowed into the stomach with a gurgling grunt.
"Delicious!" Wu Ye commented.
Huang Cheng said proudly: "The old man's craftsmanship is still used to say, the first king was full of praise back then, but now it has not been practiced for many years, and it is a little rusty, if you meet me twenty years ago, I am afraid that you will even bite off your tongue when you eat." ”
Wu Ye only cared about burying his head in the battle, nodded and agreed deeply.
Huang Cheng touched his stomach with satisfaction, burped and said: "I haven't eaten so much for a long time, if you pay a gold ingot every day, I will think of you every day to make something to eat." ”
Wu Ye's lips and teeth were fragrant, and he said with endless aftertaste: "Doctor Huang, although the food is good, the price is too high, a gold ingot is worth a hundred bags of knife coins, according to this way of eating, the treasury will also be empty." ”
Huang Cheng said sentimentally: "The treasury has long been empty. ”
Wu Ye patted Huang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Doctor Huang, why don't you come with me, come to Zheng Guo, and ensure that there will be a suckling pig to satisfy your hunger every day." ”
Huang Cheng said angrily: "Stinky boy, what do you think of me Huang Cheng, I swear allegiance to my king, and a few suckling pigs want to buy me?" ”
Wu Ye said embarrassedly: "Don't be angry with Doctor Huang, I'm just joking, and I don't despise Doctor Huang's loyalty and patriotism." ”
Huang Cheng stood up angrily and said, "Only by packing up your things can I believe in your sincerity." After saying that, he went back to the house to rest.
