Chapter 4 Chanting and Singing and Half Square Garden, Staggered Idle Cloud Feast 2

The sound of stir-frying in the kitchen was emanating from the smell. Li Weiwei walked in front and beckoned: "Everyone has arrived, everyone go and sit in the backyard." As everyone walked through the central hall, they saw a delicate garden in front of them. The bamboo forest is dashing, the green willows hang around, covering the white walls, and the breeze comes slowly, rustling. On the eight-foot square ground, an open field is paved with antiseptic wood, interspersed with stone tables and stone benches, and roses are erected all over the courtyard. Followed by a square pond, the lotus leaves in it are blooming green, the lotus flowers are graceful, and the fragrance of the courtyard is intoxicating. A Taihu Lake stone stands in a corner, abrupt and rugged, and the momentum is extraordinary, like a lion with teeth and claws. There is a pavilion in the middle, the lacquer surface is like ink, the top is covered with straw, there is a couplet written on the column, the font is similar to the one outside the gate, the book says: should be made as if it is plain, look down on the prosperity and keep the truth. On the top is written the word "Wenfeng Pavilion". At this time, the surface of the pool is like a mirror, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, mountains and stone pavilions, and everything is picturesque. Gu Chi constantly examined Li Weiwei, trying to find something unusual about him.

Hua Yiming rubbed the red sandalwood bracelet in his hand, looked at the garden and said, "Teacher Li, what you are getting here is getting more and more elegant, my place is strange, no matter how much money you spend, you can't get this feeling." Luo Haiwen lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and teased: "You go back and get some money for Mr. Li, and let him directly help you design it?" Li Weiwei picked off a dead leaf on the bamboo beside him, waved his hand to show his modesty, and said: "Where do I know how to design, this yard is just a casual pick-up, these flowers and plants in front of me are all bought and planted casually, and it doesn't cost much." "Look, Mr. Li, you can decorate it so beautifully without spending money. Brother Hua, you naturally have to spend more money when you save so much. The woman teased sweetly, her teeth were first exposed, her big eyes under the eyebrows of the fine willow were rippling, and her voice was crisp and pleasant. Gu Chi secretly discovered that those bright eyes would be emotional. Hua Yiming quipped: "Yi Meier deserves to be an anchor, and she can say something about it." Luo Haiwen said: "The beauty of the family is praising you!" The woman chuckled.

Gu Chi looked at the lotus-scented pond, and suddenly thought of a poem by Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty, and said softly: "As soon as the half-acre square pond is opened, the sky and clouds and shadows wander together." Q: Where is the canal as clear as promised? Only the source of living water comes. Li Weiwei turned his head, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Little brother is not simple, one sentence just breaks what I think." Gu Chi was stunned, although his face was not red, but his heart was ashamed, and he felt that he was a little bit of an axe. Everyone looked at each other in unison, and Luo Haiwen smiled: "That's it, this is a new talent in our unit." Hearing this about himself, Gu Chi felt more and more embarrassed.

Coincidentally, a woman wearing an apron came up and said, "The meal is ready, and you can eat it when everyone arrives." "The person who came turned out to be my sister-in-law. Everyone was about to help pick up the tables and chairs, Li Weiwei pointed to the small pavilion in the pool and said: "In the dog weather, the house is relatively depressed, and now the sun has returned to the mountain, and the heat outside is slowly dissipating." Let's just bring out the food and eat it in the pavilion. Everyone thought it was a good idea, and they set up tables and stools, and served dishes and chopsticks one after another. Sister-in-law is really a good craft, Gu Chi took a cursory glance at those plates and jars, there are four cold and eight meats, there are pickled pepper fungus, hot and sour pork ears, okra and green pepper mixed with dried tofu, lemon chicken feet, as well as stir-fried broccoli, mapo tofu, fried bacon with garlic, steamed sea bass, stewed soft-shelled turtle with black chicken, fried shrimp balls with broccoli, stewed mushrooms with chicken, and a large pot of red stewed dog meat in the middle. In a moment, the meal is ready to stop.

Suddenly, a young child stumbled out of the house, holding a homework book and a pencil, and asked Li how to do one of the exercises. Hua Yiming beckoned to the child and said with a smile: "Mao Mao is so studious, she will become the champion in the future, come, uncle will give you a piece of meat to eat." The others laughed with the children, and the sister-in-law ran out and politely told everyone to eat first, saying that the kitchen had prepared the food, and led the muttering child into the house. Everyone politely called for their sister-in-law to sit down together, and Li Wei said that he didn't care about her, so he beckoned everyone to sit around in the pavilion.

Half of the sunset sank into the top of the mountain, and the other half turned red. The breeze comes slowly, gently blowing through the lotus pond, the lotus flowers are swaying, stirring the courtyard is full of fragrance. Everyone divided their priorities and sat down one by one. Hua Yiming looked at the dishes and said loudly: "Sister-in-law's cooking skills are really not ordinary, and Mr. Li's courtyard is even more elegant. Coincidentally, I have a box of Wuliangye in my car, which I bring to drink with everyone. Before he could finish speaking, he was about to get up. The woman covered her lips with her slender hand, smiled, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, Brother Hua's level is not what it used to be, and there are some literary words in and out of the words." Luo Haiwen smiled: "Your brother Wen is still your former brother Wen, and your brother Hua is no longer your former brother Hua." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and motioned for Hua Yiming to sit down, "Wuliangye should be put away first, it won't be bad, we can drink it another day." There are two little brothers here today, and their homes are not local, so this meal is not only a drinking party between friends, but also a reception banquet for the government to organize newcomers. Just now I said in the car that I want them to taste Jiyun's famous wine, so let's not drink anything else today, let's drink 'Runquan'." As he spoke, he faced Li Weiwei and said, "Teacher Li, is there any wine inside the Runquan that I brought over a few days ago?" Li only nodded yes. Luo Haiwen motioned for him to take it out, and said: "This wine was given by a friend, and it can't be bought on the market, it is all Runquan's internal tasting wine, let's try it first, and I'll get some for Mr. Li when I go back." Li Weiwei got up and went to the house. Hua Yiming looked at the woman and smiled: "Yi Mei'er praised it like this, the whole person felt fluttering, and we have to clink glasses and drink one first." The woman smiled charmingly and browled twice.

When Li Wei turned around and came back, there was a black wine jar in his arms. He carefully opened the lid, poured the wine into the glass jar, and poured it into each person's glass. Gu Chi was afraid of losing his temper after drinking, so he claimed that he was not strong enough to drink, and hoped to pour himself less. Hua Yiming said: "Manly man, a mere glass of wine is enough to resign." There are no less than 50 wineries in Jiyun County, and if you want to gain a firm foothold here in the future, you must first learn to drink, which is culture. Haven smiled but didn't say a word. He turned his head to look at Donnie Yen, but the other party seemed to be dumb and didn't say a word, so he had to stop saying anything, and saw that the two or two wine glasses in front of him were full. Everyone served the wine in turn, except for the woman who had half a glass, and the rest of the people were all full.

At the suggestion of Luo Haiwen, according to local rules, everyone drank three sips in a row. The liquor entered the intestines on an empty stomach, and a pungency ran down the throat, and Gu Chi almost coughed out. Donnie Yen didn't react, and he still sat like a mountain. Looking at the woman again, she couldn't sit more and her face didn't change. Hua Yiming put down the wine glass, put a mouthful of food in his mouth, and said to the two young people: "Sit down with your buttocks, put your legs together, don't say a word, do it first as respect, this is the way Jiyun people drink." The woman smiled: "Brother Hua, you say everything you can, don't scare the young people." Luo Haiwen laughed and said, "Although Mr. Hua's words are a bit exaggerated, they are not rough. ”

Gu Chi laughed dryly, but his psychology was as clear as a mirror, and it was true that northerners could drink, and the wine table culture here seemed to be enough. The dishes on the table have not moved the chopsticks, and I see that the wine in the cup has gone down for nearly half of the time, and I have to drink it like this. As the saying goes, follow the local customs, and now you can only follow the host. Li Wei wiped his hair back with his right hand, and said freely: "Drink here with me, everyone drinks well, there is no routine on the dinner table in the rivers and lakes, there is no need to worry, just be happy." The person who called Cheng Yi was silent for a long time, and at this time stroked his long beard, slowed down his speech and said: "What Li Gong said is extremely true, it is appropriate to drink and drink, and drink too much to hurt your body. In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", Li Shizhen has already pointed out that alcohol and medicine have the same origin, excessive drinking, and murder. Drinking painfully will hurt the nerves and consume blood, damage the stomach and sperm, and produce phlegm and fire. Those who indulge in indulgence and get drunk as normal will be crippled and ruined, or even lose their lives and lose their lives. ”

Gu Chi was ignorant, except for Li Shizhen's book title, he still remembered, and he didn't understand a word of the following words, just looked at the three-inch beard and was distracted. In the "Sayings", it is said that those with hair on the mouth are called mustaches, those with facial hair are called mustaches, and those with cheek beards are also called mustaches. This person's cheeks are smooth, and only the chin is hairy, so it should be most appropriate to call it a beard. Li Weiwei nodded, gave a thumbs up, and said: "Cheng Lao said well, Buhuai is a 'master of the apricot forest'." Indeed, it is not advisable to drink too much, but not too much. Suddenly, Donnie Yen said sonorously: "Not necessarily, the ancients also had a precedent of using wine to maintain health." In "The Book of Songs, Feng Feng", it is written, "For this spring wine, to Jiemei Shou". Su Shi drank freely and wrote "Red Cliff Fu", and Li Baidou had 100 poems after drinking. You see, this wine has a lot of benefits! Gu Chi was a little panicked when he heard this, and felt that Donnie Yen shouldn't be so rude, and secretly scolded him for being muddy, so he coughed twice vigorously, but this guy didn't understand it at all. Everyone looked at the young man with smiles on their faces.

"Haha-" Li Weiwei laughed and said, "The little brother is really knowledgeable, and he really has ambitions and is not at an advanced age." Cheng Lao's meaning is to emphasize the word "degree" of drinking, his medical harmony is unfathomable, "Yellow Emperor Neijing", "Difficult Scripture", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Differentiation of Warm Diseases" and other four classics are all known, "Soup Song", "Four Hundred Flavors", "Lake Pulse Study", "Medical Three Character Classic" and other four small classics can be recited backwards, and the incurable diseases that have been cured by his hands are countless. Luo Haiwen took a sip of tea and said, "They will slowly learn about these things in the future." ”

Hua Yiming looked at Donnie Yen with a smile and said, "This brother looks like he can drink, and Shandong people have a good amount of alcohol." Gu Chi was afraid that he would say something more, just like he had refuted himself, so he thought that he should take the initiative to toast some wine, but he didn't know which one to salute first, so he lowered his head and whispered to him for a while. The two of them stood up suddenly, held their wine glasses together, and said, "Brother Wen, we toast you with a glass of wine and thank you for taking care of you." Luo Haiwen motioned for the two to sit down first, and said, "Sit down first, don't worry." The brothers here have not yet respected each other, and they can't respect me with the first cup. And today we are coming to Mr. Li's house to eat and drink, we can't take the guests away, the first glass of wine should be to the host first. ”
