Chapter 619: Good as Water

Take the west exit one by one. Mouth. Mouth.

Xu Wei has been camped in Shen Mo's house for two months, and in fact, he eats and drinks for nothing, and uses his house as a free restaurant. Silent shrugged and didn't care about him, how long he loved to live. Anyway, there are not many more of him, how much can it cost just to eat and drink.

On the second day of junior high school, I don't know if my conscience found out, or what, he actually said to Shen Mo: "Let the kitchen stop preparing our meal, I'll treat you at noon." ”

"Oh?" Shen Mo's gaze moved away, and he said with a smile: "It's only the second year of junior high school today, how can there be a restaurant that is open?" ”

"Don't go out to eat" Xu Wei smiled: "I bought it back to eat, and it was already ordered." As he spoke, he picked up the dogskin hat and put it on his head, and said, "You wait at home, I'll go get it, and I won't be able to delay eating." ”

"Walk slowly." Shen Mo nodded, looking back. This year's deceit, conspiracy and calculation made him feel impetuous. He knew that if he continued like this, he would degenerate into a bureaucrat who only knew how to compete for power. Those ideals and revenge will be farther and farther away from themselves.

Although he knows that this is a necessary process on the road of struggle, Shen Mo still hopes that those means are just means, and he will not lose his nature, otherwise even if he is an official residence and reaches the peak of his own life, what good will it be for the nation?

In order to keep himself awake all the time, he must keep himself calm, slow down his rhythm, and do more idle things that can nourish his soul and get rest. , playing chess, making tea, and writing for money

Sharpen the knife and do not mistake the woodcutter. What the ancestor said could not be wrong.

These days of silence in the Tao Te Ching", he has naturally read this book many times, and most of the sentences can be memorized backwards. But I used to be too impetuous and couldn't always taste the charm of it, but these days I finally calmed down and really immersed myself, only to find that it is like an inexhaustible well spring. Loaded with treasure, drop the level bucket. It's easy to get, but its breadth and profundity make you wake up to your own shallowness and inadequacy.

Silence knows that this is the power of philosophy, which cannot solve any problem but is above all else. Because he can make people's hearts truly strong, not to be confused by bizarre appearances, and to go straight to the essence of things.

As Lao Tzu said, "To the extreme, keep quiet." All things work together, and I look at it. There are many things and things, and each one returns to its roots. Try your best to achieve extreme emptiness of the mind, so that life is quiet and unchanging. I look at everything in the world going back and forth, through its multitude of appearances. See where it comes from.

"In the end, it's quiet. It's called resurrection. Returning to life is said to be normal, and knowing is often said to be clear. I don't know what is usual, and I act in vain. Knowing Changrong, Rong is the Gong, the Gong is the king, the king is the sky, the sky is the Tao, the Tao is long, and the body is not dead" Seeing the origin of things, the mind will be quiet, this tranquility is not static or negative, let alone termination, but waiting after understanding the fundamental law, waiting for "all things to do together."

Machine!

Such a person is all-encompassing, all-encompassing, he will be calm and just, justice can be comprehensive, and he can be thorough in order to conform to the "Tao" of nature, and the Tao that conforms to nature can last for a long time, and he will not be in danger for life...

Isn't that what he lacks?

Silently and slowly reciting the classics of two thousand years ago, there seemed to be Huang Zhong Dalu in his ears, and the next knock shook the dust on his soul.

At this point, for Shen Mo, reading and doing scholarship has finally changed from the art of seeking official fame to the way of pursuing the true meaning and strengthening the soul. Move, right? ”

Silently close the book. moved his sore neck, and said with a smile: "Moved, turn the book."

"You can do it!" Xu Wei gave a thumbs up and said, "What." Are you going to participate in the Spring Festival again and take the top exam again? ”

Shen Mo smiled and said: "Don't you say that I forgot, I'm going to try it again, Su Xi's moves are all here, right?" ”

"It's all here." Xu Wei said: "There are a lot of your students in it, right?"

"There should be some," Shen Mo nodded, "I hope they can do well."

"I..." Xu Wei suddenly came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "I worked hard for a trip, and you didn't even ask what I bought?" ”

"Eat what you buy." Shen Mo smiled: "It's really flattering to be invited by you." I didn't know what to think of, but I laughed.

Xu Wei rolled his eyes and said, "It's not benevolent to be rich, right?" When I was in Suzhou. You haven't had a few yet. money, just send me rice and noodles all day long, why is it that now that I have become a rich man, I have become a calculating it? ”

Silently waved his hand. smiled: "I didn't mean that, I remembered that when we met for the first time, you hid the dishes again." I'm afraid I'll be rubbing my rice."

Xu Wei smiled embarrassedly when he heard this: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year. Don't praise me anymore

"Am I complimenting you?" Shen Mo also rolled his eyes, put the book away, and went to the hall and said, "Look at what delicious food Xu Dacai has bought." As he spoke, he opened the food box that Xu Wei had brought in, and then uncovered the layers of oiled paper. I saw a plump and plump, jujube red, delicate roast duck, lying quietly in front of me.

Peking duck, quack.

Sharp was silent and a little dazed. Xu Wei smiled proudly: "This is the cheap roast duck in the rice market alley at the mouth of the vegetable market, and the old factory of more than 150 years has also followed the silence and eaten a small cake of rolled meat." The two of them were eating happily, and Sanchi came in to report: "My lord, Zhang Juzheng is here."

"Oh." Shen Mo nodded and said, "Lord Zhang is not an outsider, please invite him over." ”

Soon. Zhang Juzheng came, Shen Mo and Xu Wei warmly beckoned him to sit down, and when they learned that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, the two warmly invited him to eat roast duck. Xu Wei also learned to be silent and rolled up. The pancake was handed to him and said, "Try this new way of eating, it's not greasy at all." ”

Zhang Juzheng smiled bitterly and excused himself: "When is it?" Brother Humble Yan, you are still in the mood to study eating roast duck. ”

"At all times, the people take food as the sky." Xu Wei saw that Zhang Juzheng didn't appreciate it. He put the roll of duck meat into his mouth, and chewed hard: "Unless you have the ability not to eat or drink, he looked at Shen Mo and said, "Are you full?" ”

Shen Mo had already cleaned his hands, lost his mouth, nodded and said, "Of course."

"That's good." Xu Wei said: "You go to the study to talk, don't affect my appetite." It made Zhang Juzheng very embarrassed, and Shen Mo hurriedly said: "What Elder Brother Wen means is that the taste here is too big, and the hospitality is indecent. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said, "Let's sit in the study next door."

Zhang Juzheng, Xu Wei, who was eating deliciously, nodded and said, "Brother Humble Yan." "One," "One, one."

The two sat in the study, and asked him silently what kind of tea he was drinking, Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and said, "If you don't have the mood to drink tea, just serve a bowl of boiled water." He lowered his voice and said, "Just now, Wu Shilai, Dong Chuance and Zhang Qing were arrested by the people of the Criminal Department, do you know?" ”

He shook his head silently and asked softly, "Did Elder Ge ask you to come?" ”

"Nope. I came on my own. Zhang Juzheng sighed and said: "I blame me, when I threw the materials to Wu Shilai, I just wrote a few warning words in the back, but I didn't explain it in person." Alas, it was for the sake of safety, but it unexpectedly caused a catastrophe

"The three." Shen Mo said softly: "The identity is too unique, giving Yan Dang a chance to make trouble." ”

"yes." Zhang Juzheng picked up the three-foot tea that had just been served, felt a little hot, and hurriedly put it down and said: "People are not guilty of impeaching Yan Dang now, but saying that the three of them colluded in tandem to force the mastermind behind Ran to clasp his fists and say: "Brother, what should we do now?" You can't just watch them get tortured, can you?

Shen Mo nodded and asked, "Elder Ge should have passed the qi, right?" ”

"Yes. On the first day of the new year, Ge Lao asked me to go to the home of the three of them in the name of New Year's greetings, to explain the benefits and disadvantages, and to trick them to do it for themselves. Zhang Juzheng said with a tangled face: "You can't just count on them, if you can't be punished, and the elder of the pavilion is involved, it will be a big deal."

"Don't worry too much" Shen Mo waved his hand and said: "I look at this matter, I can't shake the status of the elder of the pavilion" Even if the three of them are punished, they confess that they are instructed by the elder of the pavilion, at most it is just a reprimand and a fine. No big deal......

"So confident?" Zhang Juzheng said.

"Hmm. Confidence comes from strength. Shen Mo smiled and said: "Throughout last year, in the Year of the Ox, Yan Song almost didn't care about state affairs, and it was our elder who was in charge of everything!" The result? Big and small things are orderly, and there are very few things that need to be troubled by the emperor, this is the embodiment of the ability of the elder, and the emperor is like a mirror in his heart. He said in a low voice: "Since the emperor can tolerate the misdeeds of the Yan family's father and son, then he will not be unable to get along with the elder of the pavilion for this trivial matter." ”

Hearing what he said was quite reasonable, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but nodded, and said, "I heard that the emperor sent a load of snacks to Yan Ge Lao, what does that mean?" ”

"Dim Sum. It's okay to eat and play, but not to eat.

Shen Mo said lightly: "The emperor is testing this, let's see if the Yan family's father and son can still experience the saint."

"According to what you say, the emperor is no longer partial to the Yan family?" Zhang Juzheng said.

At least it's not that bad, Shen Mo said softly: "For us, speed is not enough." Slowing down, stabilizing, and gradually turning advantages into victories is the king's way, and said meaningfully: "We don't lack time, and what the strict party lacks most is time." So for us, not fighting is fighting. ”

"Good as water!" Zhang Juzheng is such a smart person, let Shen Mo understand a little: "Goodness is like water." Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. Dwelling in a good place, a good heart, a good heart, a good word, a good word, a good governance, a good work, and a good time. The husband is indisputable, so there is none! ”

"Good, good, good". Shen Mo clapped his hands and smiled: "What Brother Taiyue said is extremely true. ”

The anxiety on Zhang Ju's front was gone, and he was convinced: "Brother Humble Qian is much better than me." ”

Shen Mo smiled and said, "If you care, it's messy."

"Don't you care?" Zhang Juzheng asked with a smile.

"I don't care as much as you." Shen Mo smiled faintly and pushed his temptation back.

This is not for the "cheap shop, write an advertorial, I'm talking about the cheap shop four hundred years ago, the current cheap shop is not cheap at all, you have to bring enough money to go." , if you want to know what will happen next. Please log in..., for more chapters. Support the author, support the genuine Yuechuan: we have to hurry up and greet while it's hot. When it's cold, it's precious. "Bargains?" Shen Mo was even more surprised, it was a time-honored brand in Beijing with the name of Quanjude, and he had tasted it in both stores when he went to Beijing on a business trip in his previous life. When he first came to Beijing in this life, he also inquired around, but he patted his chest and said that there were no such two stores.

How that "bargain shop." Out of nowhere? It has become a century-old store. Silent and disbelieving: "I've been to Mishi Hutong, why haven't I seen the signboard of this store?" ”

"I'm not stupid" Xu Wei picked up a thin blade, a, a snow-white plate, and quickly slice the duck meat, he has a good kung fu, and is willing to spend time on eating, and he is very skilled. I saw that his palms were flying, and the delicate slices of meat were piled up in the white and flawless porcelain plate like snow, and it was a pleasure just to look at it.

Hands on the job. But he didn't delay speaking at all, and only listened to Xu Wei: "This shop is indeed one hundred and fifty years old. It is said that when Grandpa Cheng moved the capital, a Nanjing man surnamed Wang followed a big official to Beijing. A small workshop of Jialan oven roast duck was opened in Mishi Hutong. Because the roast duck in this shop is exquisitely processed, delicious, and the price is very cheap, the business has been booming, and it has been open until now

"Looks like I'm lonely." said silently: "I can't think of it", the cheap shop is already a century-old brand

It is true that this shop is an old store, but "the cheap shop is not a time-honored brand". Xu Wei was rarely able to teach Shen Mo once, and said proudly: "Because this shop was originally nameless, the name of the cheap shop was newly chosen."

"It turned out to be so silent, it turned out that the three-foot one was the old yellow calendar.

"The one who takes this name is still your fellow disciple...... Xu Wei said: "Guess who he is."

"Is it Yang Jisheng?" Pondered for a moment and said by name.

Xu Wei was surprised: "How did you guess it."

"Because his family lives in that alley." said silently: "At that time, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Shizhen also took me to him for a drink."

It turned out that Yang Jisheng and the owner of this roast duck restaurant were neighbors, and after coming to Beijing to be an official, they often ate his roast duck, but when they saw that the store didn't even have a signboard, they asked him why he didn't choose a store name.

The boss knew that he was a big official, and he respected him very much, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "It's just a small shop with a cheap person, and it has never been named. Yang Jisheng said: "Your roast duck is expensive and cheap, and even I, a poor scholar, can afford to eat it." Why don't you call it a bargain! When the boss heard it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly took the four treasures of the study and asked Lord Yang to speak.

Yang Jisheng did not shirk. With a wave of three neat, strong through the back of the paper of the big characters, the boss such as a treasure, asked someone to carefully make a plaque, hanging on the courtyard, this is "cheap." After slicing the skin and meat, Xu Wei handed the duck rack to the maid who was waiting on the side, and said, "Let the kitchen cook a soup, it tastes very fresh," and silently whispered a few words to the maid before letting her go down with the duck rack.

Xu Wei had already brought garlic paste from the kitchen, as well as sweet noodle sauce, so he sandwiched a slice of roast duck, first dipped it in garlic paste, and then dipped it in sweet noodle sauce, and sent it to his mouth to chew slowly, and said with a look of enjoyment: "Fat but not greasy, smooth and smooth, it's like seeing a concubine!" ”

If Yang Yuhuan heard that he was compared to a roast duck, I don't know if he would be angry and come back to life.

He ate heartily. But he didn't see Shen Mo moving his chopsticks, so he swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

"I'm not used to this way of eating, I'll talk about it later." Shen Mo smiled and said, "Why did you remember to buy roast duck?" Besides, why doesn't their family make proofs during the New Year? ”

"Hey, this is what I set half a month ago." Xu Wei said: "When I went to pick it up, I heard that they had never done such a big deal before, and they took on more work at once, and it would take three more days to roast the roast duck they ordered a year ago."

"How good is the deal? Shen Mo wondered: "A card skeleton has such a great magic? ”

"It's a blessing in disguise." Xu Wei said: "I don't know which slut who made Yang Jisheng a cheap shop, and the matter of the inscription spread to Yan Shifan's ears. The grandson hated Yang Meishan the most, so he ordered Wanping County to close the store and confiscate the plaque; The shopkeeper admired Yang Meishan's high righteousness, desperately protected the plaque, and was finally seriously injured by the officials, and almost died, and said with a happy smile: "As soon as this matter spread, the people were moved by the shopkeeper, and flocked to his house, asking him to help make roast duck, buy it and take it home to eat; When I heard about the past, I saw that the buyers who don't open the store now are still booming when they open the store, and it is impossible to buy a few more" It can be seen that justice is in the hearts of the people, and it can't be blocked

Silence nodded. said: "Yang Genshan has a spirit in the sky, and he will be gratified." Then the maid went and returned, and brought a bowl of sweet pasta, a plate of thin bread, and neatly stacked green onions, cucumber strips, and radish strips.

Shen Mo picked out a little sweet noodle sauce with chopsticks, smeared it on the thin dough cake, put a few slices of roast duck on it, put a few green onions and cucumber strips, rolled up the pancake, and handed it to Xu Weidao: "Try this way of eating, see how it is better than yours?" ”

The micro-stomach took it; Trying to take a bite, it was crispy and refreshing, it seemed to be more artistic conception than simply eating meat, and I couldn't help nodding and saying, "It's better than I can eat."
