Chapter 58: Tofu Feast

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Zijian looked at the pile of tofu and wondered.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, just wait." I saw Zhongli walk to the stove, and immediately a person who looked like a chef came over and said respectfully: "Second son, what am I going to do?" ”

"Prepare peppercorns, peppers, garlic, ginger, and add green onions." The chef nodded, and immediately picked up what he needed from the various spice bottles.

Zhongli stared at the chef before he said, "Then cut the tofu into cubes." Again, the chef did so.

When he was getting ready, Zhongli put hot oil in the pot, and then put everything he had just prepared down and stir-fried, and after a while, the air was filled with a strong smell, Zhao Zijian couldn't stand it, and left the kitchen directly.

He couldn't help but be a little skeptical, the taste is so big, can it really be eaten?

No matter what he thought, the kitchen was already busy.

After stir-frying the seasoning, Zhongli asked them to prepare cornstarch water, which Zhongli specially extracted from sweet potatoes.

When done, pour the cornstarch water into the pot and finally pour the tofu into it.

Simmer over high heat, wait for some of the juice to be collected, add a little salt, and finally remove from the pot.

Next, under Zhongli's guidance, braised tofu and other tofu products were made.

After doing this, Zhongli returned to the room sweating profusely, and after washing her face with cold water, she sighed, it was still too hot, if only there was a fan.

But it's really just a matter of thinking, you need to have electricity to have a fan, and a lot of things. Let her do all kinds of things, but she will never get anything about technology.

"Second son, the food has been served, and everyone is waiting for you." Outside the door, there was the urging of a small servant.

Zhongli wiped his face and hurriedly went to the restaurant.

When she came to the restaurant, she found that except for her, all the children had arrived, and Zhao Zijian was also sitting at the table.

Seeing Zhong Li coming, several children hurriedly stood up, poured water, handed her a towel, the atmosphere was so harmonious that it was not good, at this time, Zhong Liyu walked in front of Zhong Li and said, "Second brother, you have worked hard, come and sit down." ”

"Okay, everybody, sit down." Zhongli sat on a chair surrounded by several children, looked at the tofu on the table and said, "Let's let everyone taste the tofu feast today." ”

"Uh-huh, second brother eats first." Zhong Liyu drooled, but said anyway.

"No, now that there are guests at home, it should be the guests who eat first." Zhongli looked at Zhao Zijian and said, "Brother Zhao, please taste it." ”

All the children's eyes fell on Zhao Zi's fitness, waiting for him to move his chopsticks first.

Zhao Zijian was not polite, and took a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

It was mapo tofu that he was holding, and as soon as he entered his mouth, the rich numb and spicy taste instantly eroded his sense of taste, so that he couldn't feel anything except these two tastes.

"Water, water......" Zhao Zijian said busily.

The little guy next to him immediately poured water for Zhao Zijian, and drank several glasses in a row, and Zhao Zijian felt a lot better.

But he didn't dare to touch those red dishes, he couldn't bear such a spicy taste.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to remind Brother Zhao." Zhongli forgot that many northerners can't eat spicy food.

"It's also my fault, looking at this beautiful color, I can't help but clip it, who knows" Zhao Zijian smiled embarrassedly, and then sandwiched a piece ......of fish head tofu, this time, he was not like before.

The flavor of the fish and the tenderness of the tofu are successfully integrated, making the taste of the tofu even more wonderful.

Zhao Zijian felt that he had only eaten such delicious things now, and his previous years were in vain.

"Alright, let's start eating." Zhongli spoke, and the children moved their chopsticks one after another.

Seeing that the children were polite and did not make any fuss.

In the process of eating, no matter who falls on the table, the children will consciously pick it up and put it in their own bowl to eat, and they don't feel ashamed at all.

And Zhong Li and Zhong Liyu didn't stop them, and they had a good meal.

After eating, Zhongli left in advance, and Zhao Zijian followed behind several children.

After a while, the children were left with only Zhong Liyun and Zhong Lixian.

They didn't know that Zhao Zijian was following them and walked a distance, Zhong Liyun suddenly covered his stomach and said, "Fifth sister, my stomach hurts so much." ”

"Me too." Zhong Lixian followed.

"Then let's go to the toilet, it must have been too spicy just now."

The two children ran into the toilet as they spoke, and after a while, the two children came out.

Zhao Zijian stood aside and waited for them, and when he saw them come out, he said, "Since you can't eat spicy, why don't you spit it out?" In fact, when he was eating, he could see that these two children couldn't eat spicy food at all.

"Because the second brother taught us, who knows that winning the lottery is hard work. We can't afford to waste food. Zhongli Yun said immaturely, and took the tofu cube in his little hand and soaked it in the clear water, and continued to eat.

"Who knows that Chinese food is hard work?" Zhao Zijian muttered these words, and the two children had already continued to eat.

Zhao Zijian has been thinking about this poem in his mind, although it sounds simple and simple, but the philosophy contained in it makes people think deeply. When he came to his senses, he found that the two children had saluted him and were about to leave.

He was stunned for a moment and chased after him, but saw them running into the private school together.

Recently, the second brother has been busy, except for opening a small stove for them at night, they have been studying with Mr. Li recently. However, with the explanation of the second brother, Mr. Li just watched them learn by themselves.

At this time, the sound of the children's reading came out of the private school, "At the beginning of people, the nature is good, the sex is similar, and the habits are far away......"

This is the first time Zhao Zijian has heard such a thing, and he never thought that he could also see this kind of thing in this barren border pass.

Three words and three words were catchy to read, he closed his eyes, listened to those things, and then thought about the meaning, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were so bright that he could almost come out of water.

He found that the closer he got to Zhongli, the more mysteries there were about her.

Standing in place for a while, Zhao Zijian's stomach also hurt, he hurriedly found a toilet to solve the problem, and when he came back, the children had already dispersed, and Mr. Private School was gone.

There was no one in the large private school, but the classroom was very neat, and there were many books on it.

He didn't know that when he came to look outside, Mr. Li inside received Zhongli's order that the students were on vacation today, so don't go to class first.

He was about to go to see it, but he saw two children running in, staring at him and saying, "Mr. Zhao, do you want to take a class with us too?" ”

The second brother said that there are many children outside who can't read and write, although this Mr. Zhao seems to be polite, but maybe he was also poor when he was a child and didn't go to school. That's why Zhong Liyun asked.

Hearing Zhong Liyun's words, Zhao Zijian was obviously stunned, and then he laughed.

This sister of Zhongli is so cute that she would think like this.

But that's fine, he squatted down and looked at Zhong Liyun and said, "Brother really hasn't read such books, I don't know where you got these books?" ”

Zhong Liyun's eyes rolled, and he shook his head and said, "These are all prepared by Mr., we are just students, and we don't know where to get them." ”

In fact, he knew, but he didn't want to tell Zhao Zijian.

"That's right." Zhao Zijian knew that these children would also play with their hearts, so he stood up and said, "Since you don't know, forget it." But my brother also wants to ask, who made the poem you read earlier? ”

"Is the gentleman asking Minnon?"

Zhao Zijian didn't know if it was a mercy farmer, and before he could speak, he heard the two children shake their heads and get up and say: "On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops of grass go down to the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work." ”

The immature voice read this poem, and the sense of the picture was very strong, and Zhao Zijian seemed to have seen that kind of picture.

After a careful taste, Zhao Zijian understood the difference in this poem more and more, and asked: "Who wrote this poem?" ”

"I don't know, we also heard it from others." The two children were clever and just didn't want to tell him.

Their second brother is so good, what if someone else knows about it, what if they want to rob the second brother with them.

"Who's that guy?" Zhao Zijian asked eagerly.

"Someone else is someone else." Zhong Liyun and Zhong Lixian stared at him, with an innocent smile on their faces, which made Zhao Zijian sigh, what did he ask a few children, this kind of thing, let's go and ask Mr. Private School tomorrow.

His matter here, someone has already reported to Zhongli.

"Don't spy on him in the future, if he knows, he may think of us." Zhongli commanded.

"But the eldest prince told us to keep an eye on him." The little guy retorted.

Zhong Li raised his eyebrows, only then did he know that Zhong Liyu had not let go of his knot, and got up and said, "Since this is the case, then let me go and tell my eldest brother." ”

When she came to Zhong Liyu's room, Zhong Liyu was sitting in front of the mirror in a daze, and when she saw Zhong Li coming in, she hurriedly said, "Why are you here?" ”

"You made people stare at Zhao Zijian?" Zhong asked as he left the door.

"That's right, he is a man in officialdom after all, and I can never rest assured."

"But big brother, if you do this, you will appear weak-hearted, if he is noticed, he goes to check what happened at the beginning, and finds out our identity, what should we do?" Zhongli knew that the eldest brother was kind, but it was not good if this kindness did bad things.

"Then we're going to pretend nothing happened?" Zhong Liyu stared at Zhong Li, she didn't know what her sister thought, she was still befriending him, wasn't this seeking skin with the tiger?

"yes, pretend nothing happened." Zhong Li stared at Zhong Liyu, "When I have enough strength, I will definitely find out what happened back then and give everyone the truth, but not now." ”

Zhong Liyu stared at Zhong Li, who had resolute eyebrows and eyes, and sighed for a long time: "Since you think so, then I won't care about these things anymore." ”

But to be honest, she is a traditional woman of this era, and she will not go out and show her face like Zhongli at all, let alone negotiate with others.

"That's the best, eldest brother still has to worry about the banquet at home, calculate the time, it's only five or six months later, there are still a lot of things to prepare." Zhongli's gaze was revealed in the drawer in front of the desk, and there were several purses inside.

Seeing the purse, Zhong Li's brows furrowed, and he turned his head to look at Zhong Liyu and said, "Big brother, it's better not to do these things in the future, and put them away if you want to do them." "Even if it is not discovered by outsiders, it is not good to spread it if it is discovered by someone who is waiting for you. After all, a big man embroiders purses every day, what is it?
