Chapter 361: Disciples
The altar Buddha jumping over the wall not only conquered Princess Jing's stomach, but also convinced the hearts of the two chefs. The two chefs of Jingwangfu, one from the Jiang family, a famous chef family in the south of the Yangtze River, have produced eight famous chefs in history, and their recipes and cooking techniques have been passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation, and only passed on to the lineage.
During the war, King Jing once saved the head of the Jiang family, so in order to recuperate the princess's body, when King Jing personally went to the Jiang family to ask for a cook, the Jiang family sent Chef Jiang, whose skill was second only to the head of the family, to King Jing's mansion to repay his kindness.
The other is the imperial chef Huang Yuchu, who is the best at medicinal food in the palace, and was once appointed by the Empress Taishang. When Emperor Taishang had not yet abdicated, he heard that Princess Jing was sick and needed long-term recuperation, so he gave Huang Imperial Kitchen to King Jing's mansion to be responsible for the princess's medicinal diet. It can be said that if there was no Huang Yuchu, Princess Jing's dilapidated body would probably not survive to meet Yu Xiaocao, and her soul would return to the West!
Such a famous celebrity chef and imperial chef were actually impressed by the cooking skills of a teenage girl, and it is estimated that no one would believe it when she said it.
At this time, Yu Xiaocao didn't know anything about this. She is carefully sorting out the recipe of Buddha jumping over the wall, ready to sell it to Wednesday Shao at a high price! The craze for fruit wood roast duck in Zhen Yulou is gradually fading, and it is time to launch a dish in the town store!! "Buddha jumping over the wall" is well deserved!!
Why is it said that it is sold to Zhen Yu Lou at a high price? The ingredients used in Buddha jumping over the wall are all top-notch treasures, and the cost and price are high, which determines that the consumers facing this dish are either rich or expensive. That kind of consumers are not bad for money, Zhenyulou can not only earn silver, but also improve popularity, and make friends with some powerful people, the benefits are great! No matter how high the price is, it's worth it!
The day after the Buddha jumped over the wall, King Yangjun booked a private room in Zhenyulou to celebrate his talent in the examination for Xiao Shi. During the banquet, not only Dean Yuan of Rongxuan Academy was invited, but also the gentleman of Xiaoshi's class. Zhao Xianling learned the news from somewhere, and also prepared a congratulatory gift and came up cheekily. In addition to the protagonist Xiaoshi, the Yu family also has Yu Hai and Yu Xiaocao.
Originally, it was not easy to persuade the old Yu Tou, but everyone went to the Zhen Yu Building, and when he heard that there was the dean of the academy and the county magistrate, the old Yu Tou, who had never dealt with the official family in his life, was cowardly, and hid in the Yu family's house in the town, no matter who said so, he refused to come out. This little episode, except for the Yu family, no one else knows.
Xiao Shi was quite embarrassed, originally a family gathering to celebrate, why did there suddenly have so many irrelevant people? He said politely like a little adult: "But if you are a talent in the exam, and you are not the champion in the exam, there is nothing to celebrate!" ”
Zhao Xianling joked: "You are too humble, there are only two students in the entire Tang Dynasty, and you are one of them." Besides, among the talents in this year's exam, you are the youngest. It is said that the academic and political masters of Zhili Province attach great importance to you and personally reviewed your test papers! ”
Dean Yuan was quite satisfied with Xiaoshi's results and performance. The little guy has only been studying for three years, if it is not for the extremely high talent, almost to the point of unforgettable, and the comprehension is also very amazing, it is already good to be able to recognize the words on the average child, and he even asked to take the county exam!
Originally, according to Mr. Xiaoshi's measurement of him, it was a blessing to be able to barely pass the examination, who knew that the people went all the way unimpeded, successfully passed the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination, and won the fame of Xiucai, and also ranked among the best, and passed the examination. Of course, in addition to Xiaoshi's extraordinary talent, it is inseparable from Dean Yuan's careful cultivation of him.
What they didn't know was that Xiao Shi's original IQ was only a little bit better than that of his uncle's aftermath. In other words, he has studied hard all his life, and at most he will be able to mix up the quota of talents.
However, with the variable of Yu Xiaocao, everything becomes possible. Since Xiao Shi was five years old, all he ate and drank was spiritual stone water. For adults, Lingshi water has the effect of strengthening the body and curing dark diseases. However, for children, it can promote the secondary development of the brain and the development of the brain domain.
Ordinary people have only developed 3 to 5 percent of their brains, but even a great genius like Albert Einstein has only developed and utilized about 10 percent. The little stone unconsciously surpassed the level of the great scientist of later generations. Not only is my memory super good, but my comprehension skills are also improved. Coupled with his hard work, and his determination to contribute to the family like his second sister, if his grades are not good, there will be a ghost!
Dean Yuan, who already regarded Xiao Shi as his closed disciple, did not praise him according to others' words, but said rationally: "Yu Xing is right, he has just been admitted to Xiucai, and it is the first step in the long road. Yu Xing, we must look forward, study hard, and at the same time, we must also broaden our horizons, not limited to books. Next year, the old man is going to Jiangnan to give a lecture, so you should go with him! ”
When Xiao Shi heard this, his heart was very excited. Jiangnan is a place that many literati and writers yearn for, and it is the birthplace of many literary schools in history, and the humanistic atmosphere is relatively strong. It is said that even the old farmers who work in the fields can recite a few small poems.
Every year, Dean Yuan is invited to give lectures at several well-known colleges and academies in Jiangnan, and only his personal disciples have this honor to be able to accompany him and listen to his teachings at any time.
Although in the past two years, Dean Yuan has taken good care of Xiao Shi and often opened a small stove for him, but he never dared to think that he could become Dean Yuan's personal disciple. The personal disciple of the dean has either become a great Confucian in a famous town, or a famous minister in the court, and his future is limitless.
Yu Xiaocao, who jumped over the wall with the fragrant Buddha in his hand, saw that his little brother was stunned, and hurriedly put down the jar and patted him on the back of the head, and said, "Are you stupid happy?" Don't kowtow to your master yet! ”
Mr. Xiaoshi's also joked: "While there is wine and tea now, let's complete the ceremony of apprenticeship!" ”
Dean Yuan's mind was attracted by the strong fragrance of the Buddha jumping over the wall, and he took the apprenticeship tea from the small stone in a daze, and simply completed the apprenticeship ceremony. It was only after the feast that he realized that he had an additional disciple who was less than nine years old, younger than all his disciples.
It has been more than 20 years since Dean Yuan accepted his last apprentice. All his disciples, along with himself, thought that he would not accept any more disciples in his life. said that he brought a small stone to teach, and he also loved his talent, and he didn't want to waste his talent. Who knew that after a meal, he actually accepted a little disciple in a daze. Alas! The food is misleading!!
However, the Buddha jumping over the wall was so delicious that Dean Yuan, who boasted of having tasted all the delicacies of the Ming Dynasty, was also deeply impressed.
The happiest, except for the small stones, there are more than a few grasses. After Yangjun Wang Yi's explanation, she realized how lucky her younger brother was to be able to worship Dean Yuan as a teacher and become his closed disciple. It can be said that as long as Xiaoshi is not an elm pimple, his future will definitely be on the rise. Not only does he have the best learning resources, but he also has so many accomplished senior brothers, who will be his connections in the future!! The old Yu family will be able to become officials in the future, and it can almost be said that it is ironclad!
"Hey, hey! Little Princess, thanks to your suggestion to initiate this banquet! I don't know how to thank you!! Yu Xiaocao thanked this from the bottom of her heart, her bright eyes shining with the brilliance of autumn water.
Zhu Junyang was so shocked by these dazzling eyes that he couldn't help but look away. He never knew that human eyes could be so clear and clear, like the top glass jadeite, without a trace of flaw, as if it could shine into the depths of people's hearts and purify all the filth.
"Ahem...... So, how do you thank you? Zhu Junyang was also happy for Xiaoshi in his heart. There are small stones, and there will definitely be a place for the Yu family in the court.
Yu Xiaocao smiled and narrowed her eyes, like a crooked crescent: "I'll make you a Buddha jumping over the wall every day, how about it?" ”
"Eat every day? No matter how delicious the food is, I'm tired of eating!! Zhu Junyang expressed dissatisfaction with this thank-you gift.
Yu Xiaocao tilted her head and thought about it seriously, and was a little frustrated to find that in front of the youngest son of King Jing's Mansion and the little county king valued by the emperor, she really couldn't come up with any thanksgiving gifts that made people's eyes shine.
Zhu Junyang saw the little girl biting her fingers and thinking about things, and the cat trapped by the thread, with a confused face. He smiled silently, patted her little head, and said, "If you can't think of it, don't think about it, Master is merciful and let you owe it first." ”
Yu Xiaocao didn't like to owe people the most, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Little Junwang, what do you want most." As long as I can do it! ”
King Yangjun showed an arrogant expression and said, "You took the initiative to send it, and what the master asked, can it be the same?" No sincerity! With that, he strode away.
Yu Xiaocao stabbed behind like a small tail, and kept saying, "You just say one!" You don't lack anything, and I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, so I really don't know what you need! ”
Zhu Junyang listened to the slightly coquettish coquettishness in her crisp voice, and his heart felt like being touched by a cat stick, and he itched. He stopped abruptly and turned to look at the little girl who was no bigger than his armpit.
Yu Xiaocao didn't expect the person in front of him to stop suddenly, and he was still trotting forward with small steps, and complained in his heart: The long legs are amazing, walking so fast!
"Oops!" turned out to be tragic, the little girl fell into Zhu Junyang's arms, her nose was hit by his hard abdominal muscles and was extremely sore, and her physiological tears came down from the ground.
"You don't say hello before you stop, your nose is flattened!!" Yu Xiaocao wiped her tears and protested loudly. Originally, her nose was not so strong, if she hit it twice more, wouldn't she have to see people with a collapsed nose for the rest of her life?
