Chapter 42: The Six Dragons and Clouds Fly Together
"Boss, please add more ginger and chrysanthemums to the soup." Qingqing shouted loudly.
"Sister, why do you add more ginger? What's the point? Ling'er's curiosity has improved Qingqing's thinking ability.
"No matter how delicious the Yellow River carp is, it is also a fishy thing, besides, yesterday you and my sisters were drenched in a rain, and they need to be treated with ginger, so I will answer for you with a poem: 'Wine is not fishy and chrysanthemum, and sexual anti-accumulation cold and ginger are fixed.'" The original meaning of this poem is that crabs made with chrysanthemum wine and ginger are delicious, and at this moment, we use ginger soup instead of wine to get rid of the fishy smell of carp and the moisture in the body. ”
"So, what are the miraculous effects of ginger and chrysanthemums?" General Awe-inspiring also joined the "Ask If You Don't Understand" regiment.
"The little woman is not talented, the imperial chef of the two adults should have answered, I grabbed the credit, ginger is not only used as a condiment, but also as a traditional Chinese medicine, which can add the umami of all kinds of soups or dishes, and can also get rid of wind and cold, and improve cold physique; Chrysanthemums can not only be used to make soup, but also boiled water, (Note: all kinds of health tea were called 'cooked water' in the Song Dynasty.) As the first choice in autumn, chrysanthemum ripe water not only moisturizes the viscera, clears body heat, but also removes germs in the body, clears the liver and eyes, detoxifies and reduces inflammation, and greatly enhances the body's immunity. "Qingqing played the role of the imperial chef and the imperial doctor.
"Unexpectedly, the white girl is not only proficient in Chinese culture, but also knows a little about the art of imperial food." Kaisheng praised excitedly.
"The general has an overreputation, and all the explanations are rough, but I think that if a person can't even take care of himself, how can he take care of others in the future?" Qingqing is humble in front of everyone.
Seeing that the sixth table was talking and laughing, the boss of "Hualong" came over.
"I'm the owner of the Arowana Restaurant, my name is Long Yunfei, can I eat with you?" Long Yunfei took the initiative to talk.
"Of course you can, General Wei just said that 'all the seas are brothers, why bother with flesh and blood'. Today, I have a treat with Bai Qingqing, these two are General Wei and General Du from the capital city of Kaifeng. Qingqing enthusiastically introduced.
"Boss Long, Gao Cai, may I ask if you took the name of this store?" Qingqing looked at Boss Long with a smile and asked with a smile.
"Yes, girl, why are you interested in this name? What do you have to say? "Boss Long felt incredible for the first time.
"Boss Long, presumably you are also a well-educated person, as for the origin of the name of your store, this girl cannot be repeated, I want to talk about my own experience, I wonder if everyone here is interested in hearing it?" Qingqing always can't close the chatterbox.
"I wish I would like to hear it, girl, please speak." Boss Long has been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Actually, all people are newborn children, and their strength is the power of growth. It is a pity that ordinary people only think that people will grow old, but they do not know that people can become stronger day by day: we must not only reverie the towering bamboo from the bamboo shoots, reverie the dragon that leaps for nine days from the rushing fish, but also reverie the colorful butterflies from the weak caterpillars, the eagle soaring in the blue sky from the quiet eggs, see the real life from the seemingly sad death, see the domination of the world from the fragmentation, and see the divinity that is just like human nature from the complex and changeable human nature. Qingqing thought about a preacher who quoted scriptures at this time, and everyone was stunned when he heard it, but he felt the same way.
After a few seconds of silence, everyone exclaimed, "That's amazing!" I really stunned my friends! ”
Awe-inspiring immediately wrote a poem: "Where is the peerless woman, the exit is a white girl." One word poured over the city, two words poured over the country, and three words poured over the Queen Mother. ”
Hahaha! The audience was in an uproar, and they leaned back and laughed.
After the meal, Qingqing settled the bill in advance, and Boss Long made a tiger face: "At noon today, thank you for coming to send blessings, and suddenly make the small shop shine, how dare you do that vulgar act?" You invite me to enjoy the cultural feast, and I invite you to enjoy the specialties of the Yellow River, the two are not indebted, and complement each other. If I accept the silver of the girl who has fallen into the city and the country, Uncle Heshen will definitely come to Xingshi today to ask for sin, and my little shop and I will not be at peace from now on, do you say yes? ”
"What do the two generals think? Anyway, I don't want to go. Qingqing's face was embarrassed.
"This, I have also encountered a problem for the ages, and this is thanks to the white girl." Kaisheng and muddy.
"Just ask the youngest girl, Miss Ling'er, do you think I should be a layman or an elegant person?" Awe-inspiring didn't have an idea.
"My sister taught me to be an elegant person, just pay you 8 copper coins, symbolizing that this expensive store is very rich and special every day, this 8 coins must be a dime a dozen, but it is the best of both worlds." Ling'er made a decision in a hurry.
"Yes, the meaning is right, you think: the two generals came to the famous city at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and they actually ate the 'overlord meal', if this is to be spread, won't it make the generals lose their prestige?" Qingqing maintained his dignity in a word. Mencius also said: 'A man will insult himself and then others will insult him, a home will destroy himself and then destroy it, and a country will destroy itself and then a man will destroy it.' ’”
"The white girl has moved out all the seniors Meng, I'm afraid she won't be able to do it! Pay for it. "Kaisheng played a round.
After lunch, Boss Long invited Qingqing and his entourage to have a small gathering in the elegant room to drink tea and chat.
Boss Long said enthusiastically: "The general inspected my county, and I brewed wolfberry, Hangbai chrysanthemum, and Maimendong health tea for the two of you. The white girl and sisters study all day long, and they must be hard to look at, I have made chrysanthemum wolfberry tea for you, hoping that you will 'laugh and drink'. ”
"Thank you, Boss Long." Everyone thanked them together.
"General Rui, could you please tell me what kind of city Kaifeng is?" Qingqing is full of eagerness for the next stop.
"Kaifeng has a history of eight or nine hundred years, one of China's eight ancient capitals, the history of Kaifeng has 'Qishu Mingxia Wufeng Tower, Yimen since ancient imperial state', "Bianjing is rich and beautiful in the world" reputation, my dynasty of Tokyo Kaifeng is the world's largest city second to none today. In the past 136 years, there have been many stories such as Mencius You Liang, stealing talismans to save Zhao, as well as Sun Bin and Pang Juan, etc., and also left a lot of monuments to Kaifeng, which is worthy of being called "the first capital of Kaifeng ancient city" by the Chinese people. "The general knows everything, and he says everything.
"General, I like to listen to stories the most, please give us a story about Sun Bin and Pang Juan." Ling'er happily proposed.
"Let me tell you a historical allusion to Sun Bin Knees. Sun Bin is a native of Adi, Qi State. His real name is unknown, but because he had been tortured (his kneecap removed), he was called Sun Bin by later generations.
When Sun Bin was a teenager, he made up his mind to learn the art of war and was ready to make a great career. When he became an adult, he traveled abroad to study, and went to the mountains to worship the hermit Mr. Guiguzi, who was proficient in the art of war and the art of vertical and horizontal shutting, as his teacher, and diligently studied the art of war formation. Sun Bin quickly grasped the essence of The Art of War, and expounded many brilliant and unique insights based on his own understanding. Guiguzi was very happy.
Pang Juan and Sun Bin studied the art of war with their classmates, and he was very jealous of Sun Bin's talent, but on the surface, he pretended to be very good with Sun Bin. Later, Pang Juan went down the mountain first, defected to the Wei State, was reused by King Wei Hui, and was promoted to general. But he knew that his ability was far inferior to Sun Bin who assisted the Qi State, and felt that he was a threat, so he tried every means to 'dig' Sun Bin to the Wei State.
After Sun Bin arrived, he first warmly welcomed him with hypocritical affection, and then entrusted him with the official position of guest secretary, Sun Bin was naturally very grateful to Pang Juan, who did not forget the love of his old classmates. However, half a year later, Pang Juan embezzled the law, fabricated charges, framed Sun Bin for fornicating with Qi State, punished him, and tattooed words on his face, with the purpose of mentally eroding Sun Bin. When Sun Bin knew that Pang Juan framed him, he tried to get rid of the surveillance of Pang Juan's subordinates and prepared to escape from the tiger's mouth one day.
Soon, an envoy from Qi came to Wei and secretly visited Sun Bin and hid him in a car to bring him back to Qi. During a horse race of princes and nobles, the general Tian Ji recommended the resourceful Sun Bin to King Qi Wei. In front of King Qi Wei, Sun Bin talked about the art of war, recounted what he had learned in his life, was appreciated by King Qi Wei, and was appointed as the military advisor of Qi State. Later, in the battle of Qi Wei Maling, Pang Juan was beaten by Sun Bin to the point that he was "defeated by the poor army", and he killed himself without the shame of seeing the world, and Sun Bin became famous all over the world from then on. ”
"Thank you to the general for awarding military classics to everyone, everyone applauds." Qingqing proposed.
"Sister, what does this story illustrate?" Ling'er asked indignantly.
"Harming others will end up harming oneself, it is gold that will always shine, it is talented people who will always contribute to the country, and it is roses that will always open." Qingqing admired Sun Bin's courage and intelligence.
