Hearing the news that the second master was coming back, the family was looking forward to it. Although the old lady didn't say anything, the next person was already busy cleaning the house and arranging the room. Among them, there is the expectation of the reward for the second master's return, as well as the awe of the second wife.

Everyone still remembers that six years ago, the second wife temporarily took charge of the sternness of the inner courtyard. We must not make an appointment with half a spread pool.

Wang Jiuzhi also prepared the dishes, he knew that the second wife was picky, and the third young master was a picky child. I thought that the magistrate would come, plus the relatives and deceased people of seventy-seven, eighty-eight, and eight, enough to keep the kitchen busy.

The second master's official frame was very small, but it was only three green tweed carriages, followed by a large cart with two carts of things camelped. This made the people watching the excitement slightly disappointed. When the second master came back, there were several big cars of things, and the maid was very particular.

Some people are talking about whether the second master is unwilling in the officialdom or something. However, these were knocked back into the stomach by a few hairy chestnuts from the housekeeper.

Rui Xue sat there and helped choose vegetables, listening to Zhao Yuan in the kitchen where he learned about the second master's return.

"Just the second master and the third young master, plus a few maids. The second wife did not return. ”

Wang Jiuzhi listened in the kitchen, and walked out with his hands in hand: "The second wife didn't come back?" ”

Zhao Yuan hurriedly said: "No." But I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this Zhenshan Tai Sui was back, and I was so scared that I didn't even dare to come out! ”

The old cook Zhao Shan copied the dry tobacco stick and gave it to Zhao Yuan: "Stinky boy! What did you say about the second wife? "His ancestors fled from the north, and he has been old for several lifetimes, and he can't give up this ability.

Where did Zhao Yuan dare to talk back to his father, he was busy far away: "However, there are two maids who are still wearing hats, and I thought at first that the two girls were back." ”

The mother-in-law who came to fetch hot water smiled: "You don't know that the second wife has big rules and can regulate people." ”

Wang Jiuzhi heard that the second wife had not returned, and his heart was relieved. After all, when he first came to Zhao's house to do things, the second wife caught him to find the nurse of the fifth girl to breastfeed Ruixue. If it weren't for the old lady, he would have been kicked out a long time ago.

The kitchen was very idle at this time, after all, the people who came back had to meet the old lady first, and then go back to the room to freshen up before opening the banquet. The weather is also hot now, and the dishes are prepared with cold dishes and freshly stir-fried dishes.

Wang Jiuzhi sat down next to Ruixue, and Xiao Ruixue ran to twist the handkerchief to wipe Wang Jiuzhi's face.

Several mothers-in-law looked at it and said that Ruixue was sensible and filial. Wang Jiuzhi said that his face was full of smiles, and he hugged Ruixue without saying a word.

A mother-in-law sighed and said, "It would be nice if the three masters in the family had Rui Xue like this!" The eldest young master got married in the capital, and the eldest master did not invite the old lady to go. ”

Zhao Shan took a sip and said, "What do you know." The old lady is also old now, and the capital is so far away, wouldn't it be a sin if the old lady is not happy? ”

"That being said, after getting married, the juniors should always come back to meet the old lady! Not to mention anything else, there should always be a son and daughter of your own to do your filial piety! ”

Speaking of which, the subordinates of the Zhao family were silent, the three masters were officials outside, and the three wives and children followed, leaving only an uncle and daughter at home. The huge Zhao family looks deserted.

Silently, the hot water came again, saying why the bath water was not ready. A group of people had to disperse.

The mother-in-law who fetched water pointed to the little girl who came over and said, "See! Not a big girl yet! He has silver bracelets on his hands. This temper is even worse than when I came back with the second wife! ”

Zhao Yuan went into the kitchen and brought out two buckets of hot water, and said to his mother-in-law: "Yes, I think it's even more powerful than that Cuihuan back then." Mama Zhang, how careful you are. ”

"This is the most important thing. The dot is the side; Hengweile; erected as a crossbow; The hook is the hook; Suggestion; skimming for plunder; Short skimming for pecking; Hammer for the smash. After writing this Yongzi, we can write other words! ”

Old lady Zhao hugged Zhao Xiyun with a pleasant face, taught her to write hand in hand, and didn't pay attention to Dao'an's son and grandson at all.

But Zhao Xiyun felt bad, and whispered: "Grandpa, the second uncle greets you." ”

Old lady Zhao let go of the hand holding Zhao Xiyun and snorted coldly: "I'm not dead yet, you have seen it, you can go!" ”

Zhao Youlin couldn't cry or laugh a little, how could his father get older and more angry. The eldest brother and the third brother have not come back after being an official in Beijing for many years, and they don't see him say a word, but they greet him by themselves, and he is like an enemy.

"The son wants to entrust the third son to his father today."

Old lady Zhao opened her drooping eyelids slightly, and glanced at Zhao Xihou, the third grandson who was standing aside, wearing a lotus lotus-colored entwined lotus six-group armor and a white middle coat. said angrily: "Where is the prefect's promotion?" Can't even take care of your son? This is not Tzu Chi Hall. ”

Zhao Youlin bowed and said: "My son will be transferred to the political envoy of Shandong. This kid is quite smart in his studies on weekdays, but when his son arrives in Shandong, he is afraid that he will suddenly change his husband and delay his ......."

"Fart!" Old lady Zhao didn't wait for Zhao Youlin's words to finish, and reprimanded, "That's where the saint is, and the style of study is mellow, delaying his studies?" You are simply insulting to the Ancestors! Get out! Don't call me this to delay your second master's career economy! ”

Zhao Youlin hurriedly lifted his robe, knelt on the ground and said, "My son is wrong." However, the son did not go to Qufu. Thinking about other places is not comparable to my father's knowledge. ”

"What did you read?" Old lady Zhao raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhao Xihou, who was silent. This kid actually came in without looking around, but he was a good kid. At least this qualitative is enough, and with this qualitative, reading will definitely succeed.

Zhao Xihou hurriedly said: "I have read all four books roughly. ”

"It's not ashamed to say it at a young age." Old lady Zhao snorted coldly, originally thought that this child was characterized, but he didn't want to be a person who spoke falsely.

Thinking about it in his heart, he began to study exquisitely: "Young people must study diligently, and articles can stand up." ”

Zhao Xihou knew that his grandfather was testing himself, so he immediately continued: "Zhu Zigui of the Manchu Dynasty is a scholar. Learned diligently, thousands of books. ”

I don't want Old Lady Zhao to let him carry it in one go, but said: "Learning is the room of the body, and Confucianism is the treasure of the seat." ”

"If you look at you as a prime minister, you must use a scholar."

This is Mengxue's "Prodigy Poem", and Zhao Youlin, who was standing on the side, was cooking dumplings in a teapot at this time, and he knew it in his heart. The father is not only caring for his son, but also ridiculing himself. Listen to this sentence "If you look at the prime minister, you must use a scholar." I knew that he was reminding himself that he was born in the same jinshi. But he really wanted to ask, how many prime ministers in this world were really from the top of the world. Kou Zhun is not; Neither is today's Lord Zaisuke; Even Zhu Zi (Zhu Xi) didn't win the top prize, and everyone still didn't follow his "Notes on the Four Books" as a model? Wen Tianxiang is the champion, but it's a pity......

In a trance, the old lady Zhao was also finished, looked at her son who was a little proud, and was annoyed in her heart, and the color of some joy was gone, and she said mockingly: "It's been an hour, and it's not necessarily good." ”

Zhao Youlin didn't know that he moved the tendon and choked his neck and wanted to say a few words, but he didn't want his son Zhao Xihou to comfort himself and said: "Don't fight for three inches, and the young man's head is white." ”

Old lady Zhao came to the spirit, put aside her son, stared at her grandson and asked, "Young man Hugh laughs at the pulsatilla, how many days can the flowers bloom?" ”

"Be honored and humiliated, and be prepared for danger in peace."

Seeing the joy on his father's face, Zhao Youlin smiled. The son is arguing with his father about the sentences in the "Collection of Famous Sages"! When he was twelve years old, he didn't have the guts, and this son was really not a thing in the pool.

When I heard my father say: "If you read the book of Confucius and Mencius, you will reach the gift of Zhou Gong." At that time, Zhao Youlin knew that this level had passed, and his father agreed to teach his son.

Zhao Xihou deeply said to Mrs. Zhao: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he will see the hearts of the people for a long time." ”

Mrs. Zhao is very satisfied with today's examination, at least the third son who has won the list does not have the ability of Zhao Xihou. This kid is smart, but he needs to be taught well. He seemed to see the scene of his grandson's high school champion more than ten years later, leading the new science and technology scholars to meet the emperor.

Old lady Zhao smiled, he only felt that there was a successor, and his unfulfilled wish was finally to be fulfilled in his grandson. He still looked at his son unpleasantly: "Why does the son need the father to move forward? ”

Zhao Youlin knew that his father said that he was not angry and not good enough in learning, and he looked at his elderly father to teach his son, but he didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "Your son is not as good as my son, and your son is not as good as my son!" ”

Mrs. Zhao didn't expect him to say this, so she picked up her crutches and smashed them at her son, Zhao Youlin didn't dodge, and smiled and slapped his father with a cane.

Old lady Zhao glared at Zhao Youlin, and said to Zhao Xiyun with a smile: "Fifth girl, this is your second uncle, this is your third brother, what's your name?" ”

"Grandson Zhao Xihou."

Zhao Xiyun listened to the conversation between his cousin and the knowledgeable old lady Zhao, but he still couldn't understand it. The expression of envy on his face is amazing, and he actually confronts his grandfather who is the eye of the example.

Old lady Zhao pulled a child in one hand, walked to the hall with a smile, and did not forget to instruct: "Ask Wang Jiuzhi to cook a few good dishes." Third grandson, what do you like to eat? Five girls, you can say it too. ”

*

When the dishes were served, Mrs. Zhao looked at the plate in the middle that was as bright as snow and crystal clear, and pointed and asked, "What kind of new dish is this?" ”

"Golden Jade. You taste it, and dip it in some sauce as you eat it. ”

Old lady Zhao went down with chopsticks, but found that the thing was scattered all of a sudden, and couldn't help but look at Wang Jiuzhi.

Wang Jiuzhi took matters into his own hands, grabbed some sauce dishes that were put in front of the few people who were following Old Lady Zhao at the table, stepped back and said: "This thing is thinly cut, it is easy to scatter if it is clamped, and it is ...... lightly" He looked around at the water pavilion and said with a smile, "This wind will blow away!" ”

The weather was hot, so Mrs. Zhao ordered the meal to be placed on the water pavilion in his garden, which was also cooler.

Everyone tasted it, but they only felt that the texture was soft and smooth, and there was a bit of a cold feeling, which was the most comfortable. Rao is Zhao Youlin, who has been accustomed to eating Suzhou and Hangzhou cuisine in Hangzhou over the years, can't help but give Wang Jiuzhi a thumbs up.

Zhao Xihou tasted some of them, tasted them slowly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked at Wang Jiuzhi warmly: "The maid Jinpan carp?" ”

Wang Jiuzhi nodded.

"Wang Majie's "Luoyang Daughter's Journey"?" Old lady Zhao only felt that her mouth was full of fish, so she was not disgusting, so she secretly took a handkerchief and vomited.

"Exactly."

"I only heard that it was called Crystal Kuo, why is it called this?"

Wang Jiuzhi smiled slightly: "Jin Yan refers to this condiment, garlic, ginger, orange, white plum, cooked corn, japonica rice, sauce these seven ingredients are mashed, and then vinegar is added to prepare it to take its golden color." This jade is the fish fillet. ”

"Why does this smell?"

Wang Jiu pointed out: "This thing is raw, and it is inevitable that it will be a little fishy." ”

In the end, Mrs. Zhao didn't eat another chopstick, but she saw Zhao Youlin, Zhao Xihou, and his son feasting. It turned out that they were in Hangzhou, and they could often taste some seafood, and some of the seafood was eaten raw, so they didn't feel anything.

Today's dish, Jin Jun Yuguan, is very weighty, and it appeared in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties of our country, and it can be said to have a long history. It was first published in the book "Qi Min Yaoshu" written by Jia Siqian of the Northern Wei Dynasty (in addition, white plum, in fact, in ancient times, it was a condiment for adjusting the sourness).

However, the current name, everyone must know, is the favorite sashimi of the Japanese people. Anyway, this is still passed from our country, why don't we eat it now? Asked the Japanese to rob it in vain?

Alas~

This dish was also known as crystal tudney in the Song Dynasty, and Su Shi and Lu You liked it very much.
