Remember for a second [Think โรท Ke โ Xiao โณ said ยง Net . Org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Huang Wanchun is the inventor of the Buddha jumping over the wall, so in his eyes, there are many things he can't see, or he may have been inadvertently ignored.
Relatively speaking, Dongfang Chang can be regarded as making rapid progress, every time he cooks, Dongfang Qing will accompany his ancestors, watching Dongfang Chang get up from failure again and again, watching him approach the answer little by little, the corners of Dongfang Qing's eyes ....... I couldn't help but shed a line of tears.
Looking at the figure that was getting thinner and thinner day by day, Dongfang Qing leaned her head on Huang Xiaowei's shoulder and sobbed quietly.
In just five days, it can make a good person lose weight.
Dongfang Chang was already thin enough, but now he was even thinner than five days ago, and from a distance, it looked like a skeleton was covered with a layer of human skin.
And his coughing sound is getting worse day by day, originally before Huang Xiaowei and they came, the shopkeeper was still quite energetic, and he could rarely be heard coughing, but after he said the words "I'll help you," Huang Xiaowei could no longer hear the sigh after sigh, and it was all replaced by a violent cough.
Huang Xiaowei knew that Dongfang Chang had run out of oil, and now what supported him was only a belief, which was very selfless and great.
Maybe when he finds the answer, he'll fall for it.
........
Time flies, two days have passed, Dongfang Chang has become thinner, but the light in his eyes is getting stronger and stronger, through a few days and nights of sleeplessness, he is getting closer and closer to that answer, and it is tonight.
He found it.
In the back kitchen of Fumanlou, when Huang Wanchun tried to eat a bite of the Buddha jumping over the wall made by Dongfang Chang, his old eyes were soaked with tears, nodded lightly, and spit out three words.
"It worked."
Dongfang Chang finally found the weakness of the Buddha jumping over the wall and improved it, now the Buddha jumps over the wall, it still smells so fragrant, the first bite is delicious, the second bite is okay, the third bite, the general, the fourth bite, make do, the fifth bite, ahh
Dongfang Chang is not smart, but he is very powerful, really powerful, because he has not eaten Buddha jumping over the wall a few days ago, but in such a short time, the taste of Buddha jumping over the wall has changed drastically, and he believes that if Zhou Lian dares to send this dish to Cixi, then he will have no way to live.
Tonight, Dongfang Chang and Huang Wanchun can finally put down the frying spoon and sit together to drink and chat with peace of mind, Huang Xiaowei and Dongfang Qing are like bystanders, silently looking at the happy appearance of the two bad people.
In the end, they left, leaving the place to the two of them, the grandfather who drank and laughed heartily, closed the kitchen door, Huang Xiaowei held Dongfang Qing's hand, and kowtowed three times to the two people inside, "Thank you", this is the only thing Huang Xiaowei and Dongfang Qing can say.
Because they protected the Buddha jumping over the wall in the face of power, without them, the Buddha jumping over the wall would have disappeared long ago, not to mention what would have been carried forward.
They are not the heroes that people know in their memory, but what they do is not inferior to any heroes and heroes who are sung and praised by the world.
No one will remember that in the twenty-fifth year of Guangxu, two ordinary little people were willing to pay everything in order to protect a dish, protect the desires and dreams in their hearts, they were not as famous as Confucius and Zhu Xi, they were just two ordinary little people, but what they did was enough to compare with the saints.
........
This night passed quickly, at least in Huang Xiaowei's eyes.
As soon as the day dawned, the shopkeeper came back from Fumanlou a little drunk, he drank this wine very happily today, and he was also very happy, Huang Xiaowei helped Dongfang Chang, who was full of wine and tears in the corners of his eyes, into his room, and covered him with a quilt intimately.
Dongfang Chang fell asleep like this, and Huang Xiaowei was guarding beside him, which could be regarded as a way for Huang Xiaowei to forgive his sins.
Because he found that he didn't say that he was scolding Dongfang Chang, even if he yelled at him, he would feel very ashamed, in front of him, Huang Xiaowei had never felt that he was so small, and Dongfang Chang was so tall, there was a kind of person, even if you glared at him, your conscience would be condemned.
This night, the shopkeeper slept for ten hours before he woke up, and it was Huang Xiaowei who woke him up, because the shopkeeper had already rushed back with the last 1,000 taels of gold.
Dongfang Chang knows that the most critical moment is coming.
With Huang Xiaowei's support, Dongfang Chang got up from the bed, his black and white hair looked so dazzling, he was still in charge of the shopkeeper a few days ago, but the Buddha jumped over the wall has exhausted his hard work, on his head, the black hair only occupies less than one-third, you must know that he is only forty-eight years old this year.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw Dongfang Chang, he was so frightened that he sat directly on the ground, is this still his second uncle? Why haven't I seen you for a few days, and I've become like this.
Dongfang Chang asked calmly: "Is everything done?" โ
The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded and said: "Second uncle, I have sold the real estate and real estate in my hometown, and even my ancestral house has been sold, but in this way, I still failed to get together a thousand taels of gold, but fortunately, I borrowed fifty taels from the local grandson, which was barely enough." โ
When Dongfang Chang heard that the ancestral house had been sold, he couldn't help lowering his head and clenching his fists slightly.
But soon he let go again, and from the moment he made up his mind, he was mentally prepared, although he had asked himself countless times in the past few days, but now he asked silently in his heart.
"Is it worth it?"
I don't know, as before, Dongfang Chang still didn't understand what drove him to do all this, but whether he knew it or not, he only understood that he ...... Willing to do it!
Human nature is good, human nature is evil, this is a complex and profound answer, but whether it is Huang Wanchun or Dongfang Chang, there is no doubt that they all belong to the former.
The pain and tribulation brought to them by the world have not changed their original intention of being a human being, and it has been said before that in this dark age, there will be no lotus flower that will not be stained by the mud, but Huang Wanchun and Dongfang Chang have been able to merge into it.
.........
In the inn, the shopkeeper said with great interest: "But second uncle, it's all right, I told everyone that I just temporarily mortgaged the house to them, and when we get the secret recipe and start making money, we can take back the ancestral house." โ
Dongfang Chang said silently: "Well, I know, you go to Governor Li and Lord Zhou now, and tell them that the money is ready, and I will go to inspect the goods tonight." โ
"Okay, second uncle," the shopkeeper ran out of the door in a hurry.
Dongfang Chang lay on the bed again, as long as they could hide from the people under Zhou Lian's hands, then they would be considered really successful.
.......
At seven o'clock in the evening of the same day, Dongfang Chang was dressed very radiantly under the costumes of Huang Xiaowei and Dongfang Qing, but this could not hide the rich dead air on his body.
And Governor Li and Zhou Lian were already standing at the door of Tianxiang Pavilion waiting for him.
When Dongfang Chang appeared in front of the two of them, these two official masters, like the shopkeeper, were really frightened, and said in their hearts What is wrong with this person, could it be that he learned that he would be able to have a Buddha jumping over the wall in the future, so he didn't sleep for a few days with joy?
Regarding Zhou Lian and Li Zhifu's questions, Dongfang Chang simply prevaricated a few words, and then fooled the past, while Li Zhifu and Zhou Lian simply cared about him and didn't ask more.
The people on the field, in addition to Zhou Lian, Li Zhifu and a few officials, there was also an ordinary-looking middle-aged man next to Zhou Lian, if Dongfang Chang didn't guess wrong, this should be Zhou Lian's cook.
And the second fool was pulled back by Dongfang Chang today, after all, do you have to do enough drama.
A group of people seemed to push open the door of Fumanlou, and as far as the eye could see, the entire Fumanlou was empty, only Huang Wanchun sat quietly on a chair, drinking wine and eating peanuts.
The shopkeeper and the second fool were full of anger and put the two big boxes in front of Huang Wanchun's eyes with a few officials, and said, "Boss Huang, order a little bit and see if the number is right." โ
Huang Wanchun opened one of the boxes, and the dazzling and full of gold ingots were lying quietly in it at the moment, Huang Wanchun sighed and said, "Since this is the case, please come with me." โ
A group of people followed Huang Wanchun to the back kitchen, and Huang Wanchun handed over the improved secret recipe of Buddha jumping over the wall to Dongfang Chang's hands and said: "This is what you want, so we will clear both sides." โ
Dongfang Chang didn't look at it and handed the secret recipe directly to Zhou Lian, Zhou Lian took the secret recipe and couldn't understand it, so she threw it to the cook behind her and ordered: "Try it, see if Boss Huang plays tricks with us." โ
The cook and the second fool brought by Zhou Lian studied the secret recipe for a while, and after remembering the general method, the two of them cooked together.
During this time, Zhou Lian and Li Zhifu sat casually on the side, especially Zhou Lian, looking at Huang Wanchun's pitiful appearance, there was an indescribable joy in his heart, he just liked the feeling of stepping on people under his feet.
An hour, two hours later, two cans of Buddha jumping over the wall were placed in front of Zhou Lian and Li Zhifu, just smelling the fragrance, Zhou Lian and Li Zhifu knew that this was an authentic Buddha jumping over the wall, okay, good, dedicating this thing to Lafayette, she will definitely be able to please her old man, and it is not a problem to add an official to the knighthood.
After taking a bite, Zhou Lian and Li Zhifu put down their chopsticks and didn't eat any more, because they came to inspect the goods today, not to eat.
The two officials and masters have eaten, and it is the turn of the second fool and the cook, similarly, the first bite of them did not eat anything different, but the second bite, the brows of the two of them wrinkled at the same time, the second fool said that he was not stupid, before he came, he got Dongfang Chang's instructions, and at this moment he was very imageless and ate with the jar, fortunately, there was a jar blocking the second fool's face, otherwise his bitter expression would definitely be discovered.
As for the second bite, the chef felt that something was wrong, how could the taste be a little different?
He wanted to continue eating, but when he saw the happy appearance of the second fool, he couldn't help but hesitate, no, just looking at the posture he was cooking just now, he knew that the cooking skills of this product were no longer under him, and it stands to reason that he should be able to find the difference, but how could he ...... Could it be that I made a mistake?
At this moment, Dongfang Chang said lightly: "Ergou, is it delicious?" โ
The second fool put down the Buddha and jumped over the wall, and said with satisfaction: "Okay...... It's delicious, it's delicious, it's absolutely authentic, it's the first time I've done it, and the grasp of the heat is a little too ..... Okay, so the taste will definitely be a little worse on top, but give me a little bit more..... Time, there must be no problem," the second fool obediently read out the lines that Dongfang Chang wrote for him, and this time he didn't stumble too much, because he had been practicing all afternoon.
Dongfang Chang nodded as expected, and glanced at the chef again, probably meaning, you should be about the same, right?
