Chapter 46: The Shadow

Zou Yan's small courtyard.

There was a straw mat in the center of the courtyard, and Zou Yan, Xunzi, Xiao Yuetan, and Mao Jiao sat in a circle, smiling and smiling.

Zou Yan stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Old man, here, it's rarely as lively as today, hehe." ”

Xun Zi smiled narrowly: "Since this kid Qi Yu boasted about Haikou, we will wait for his results." ”

Xiao Yuetan's nose moved suddenly, took a deep breath, and said in surprise: "Have you ever smelled a strong aroma?" ”

Mao Jiao also took a deep breath when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It seems that Qi Yu is done!" ”

Zou Yan said happily: "Today we have a mouthful!" ”

On the east side of the courtyard, in the kitchen.

The sound of "crackling" was endless in the room, and the rich aroma stirred everyone's nerves, Qi Yu's group of classmates: Zhongsun Xuanhua, Min Jianzhang, Shanrou, Ma Chengjia, Xie Ziyuan, Duan Heng, Fang Yong, one by one, gathered in the kitchen, looking at Lu Yunzhou, who kept stirring in front of the cauldron, and they all grew their mouths in surprise.

Shi Wenqi added firewood to the back of the earthen stove, his face was red by the firelight, and he kept sniffing, his face full of expectation.

Ma Chengjia was surprised: "Qi Yu, I didn't expect you to have this hand!" ”

Shanrou leaned her face forward, took a deep breath, and looked intoxicated: "What kind of rice is this?" It can be made golden yellow. ”

The big spoon in Lu Yunzhou's hand kept stir-frying, and said with a smile: "This is called egg fried rice, congratulations, you have witnessed a miracle with your own eyes, this egg fried rice is the first egg fried rice in this era!" ”

As soon as Lu Yunzhou's words fell, he heard Shi Wenqi, who was burning the fire, suddenly shouting: "Xiao Zhang Cang, don't eat secretly!" ”

All eyes turned to the corner of the kitchen.

There was a table there, and I saw Zhang Cang stretching his hand back with an embarrassed face, but the oil stains on the corners of his mouth had betrayed him.

Shanrou's face darkened, she strode to Zhang Cang's side, bent down and hooked Zhang Cang's neck, the dangerous aura approached Zhang Cang, Zhang Cang suddenly stiffened in fright, and turned his head to look at Shanrou nervously.

Shanrou had a cold face and threatened: "Good things have to be shared by everyone, the little ghost who eats alone, but he will be beaten, you know?" ”

"What a terrible woman...... Zhang Cang actually felt a murderous aura, and quickly nodded his head to show his obedience.

Shanrou let go of her arms with satisfaction, and lifted the back collar of Zhang Cang's clothes with one hand like a chicken, and carried him away from the table.

Before leaving, Shanrou reluctantly glanced at the dishes on the table that she didn't recognize: stir-fried black fish fillet, sautéed beans, hot kidney flower, braised beef, shiitake mushroom greens, kung pao chicken, sweet and sour tenderloin, seaweed egg drop soup......

These are very common home-cooked dishes for later generations, but for people in the Warring States period, this is not the case!

You must know that stir-fry only appeared in the Song Dynasty, and as early as the Warring States Period, the things people ate were very simple, often a pot or a ding, everything was thrown into it, and it was eaten when it was boiled!

For everyone present, these brightly colored dishes on this table at this time all exude a mysterious and tempting aroma, and everyone is already swallowing their saliva!

"Haha, that's it, ready to eat!" Lu Yunzhou put the egg fried rice in the pot into a large basin and said with a smile.

"Let's bring all the food to the yard together!" Zhongsun Xuanhua said excitedly.

"Yes, yes!"

"I'll come, I'll leave it to me!"

Everyone was excited, rushing to bring the dishes to the straw mat in the courtyard, Lu Yunzhou finally took the pot of egg fried rice, and walked out of the kitchen side by side with Shanrou who was holding the dishes and chopsticks.

Shanrou saw that the people in front of her had gone away, deliberately left behind, and said in a low voice: "Qi Yu, I will go to your house to eat in the future, don't refuse!" ”

Lu Yunzhou's gaze swept over the curve outlined by Shanrou's body, remembering the charm of yesterday's lake by the lake, his heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly smiled: "Little obey, the door of my house will be open for Sister Rou at any time!" ”

"That's pretty much it!" Shanrou's purpose was achieved, and she hummed a little song to the center of the courtyard with satisfaction, but her face turned red unconsciously......

"What is this guy looking at, he wants to die!" Sun-rou also remembered what happened yesterday by the lake, and her mind was a mess.

Lu Yunzhou walked at the end, holding a large basin of egg fried rice in his hand, and saw that everyone had already put all the dishes on the straw mat, so he also walked quickly, found a gap next to Shanrou, and sat down on the ground.

Because Shanrou is a girl, everyone else consciously does not sit next to her, so sitting on Shanrou's left is Zhang Cang, the little ghost, and on the right is an empty seat.

When Lu Yunzhou came, there was only this vacant seat left, Lu Yunzhou didn't have any habit of defending men and women, so he sat down naturally, and when the others saw it, they just smiled, and glanced at Shanrou and Lu Yunzhou with bad intentions, but Xie Ziyuan was stunned.

Xie Ziyuan regretted it very much at the moment, why did he avoid it just now, he should be bold and sit next to Sister Rou!

Not mentioning Xie Ziyuan's tangled mood at this time, everyone else was elated.

Zou Yan commented with a smile: "These dishes made by Qi Yu are full of color, flavor and flavor, even the rice is extraordinary, the particles are full, and they are still golden yellow, which makes people move their index fingers at a glance, the old man is really knowledgeable today!" ”

Mao Jiao said with a smile: "Qi Yu, if you open a restaurant in the center of Xiaolinzi, it will definitely be full every day!" ”

Lu Yunzhou smiled: "This is a good idea. ”

I thought that he definitely didn't have time to run a restaurant, but he could teach his cooking skills to the cooks, and the restaurant could be run by Lanshiki.

King Qi just gave him a hundred catties of gold yesterday, and there is no problem with opening a restaurant!

But this matter can't be rushed, after all, the cook at home hasn't been trained yet!

For Lu Yunzhou, he usually eats well, which is the first place, and he can let it go first if he promotes food and benefits the public.

Anyway, people in this era are used to eating those things......

Shi Wenqi was busy for a long time, and then said excitedly: "Don't say it, don't say it, I'm going to start!" ”

Zhang Cang also cheered: "I'm going to start too!" ”

Everyone has been salivating over these dishes for a long time, and when they hear the words, they start to move, and the fragrant taste that they have never felt before explodes on the tip of their tongues, and everyone feels that it is simply delicious!

Shi Wenqi suddenly shouted: "Senior Brother Qi Yu, please!" ”

Lu Yunzhou was taken aback, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What?" ”

"Will you take me in?" Shi Wenqi looked at Lu Yunzhou with a pair of sparkling eyes, and said eagerly: "I want to go to your house to live!" ”

Zou Yan's beard suddenly couldn't help shaking--

"What does this mean...... Is this kid going to betray the rhythm of the teacher? What should I do, I really want to go with ......"

"I'm going too, Senior Brother Qi Yu, take me in, take me in!" Zhang Cang immediately cheered.

Xunzi looked at his little disciple with a headache, his disciple is good at everything, he is talented, he can teach any knowledge, and he can draw inferences, that is, ...... The temperament is really too out-of-the-box, eccentric, and now he is actually following Shi Wenqi, a living treasure, and openly wants to betray the teacher?

…… I ran to eat and drink spicy food, and I didn't know how to honor my master, it's really ...... Children are easy to be tempted to eat......

Xunzi was speechless and choked, with a kind of sadness that the child who had worked so hard to raise was bitten by a wolf......

Zhongsun Xuanhua said with a smile: "After eating the dishes made by Senior Brother Qi, I really can't eat anything else, Senior Brother Qi, do you still have an empty room there?" I'm going to squeeze too! ”

Lu Yunzhou couldn't cry or laugh: "You can come if you want, welcome at any time!" ”

Qi Mansion is so big, even if everyone present goes to live, it won't be crowded......

Shanrou quickly ate the things in her mouth, glanced at her dangerously, and thought: "The old lady just thought of a good idea to rub rice, you have to go directly to Qi Yu's house to live, hum!" A bunch of stinky shameless! This girl can also live where Sister Qi Fei is! The old lady's family lives next door, which is convenient! ”

After all, the others were not so undisciplined, and for a moment, everyone was quiet, concentrating on eliminating the food in the bowl.

Lu Yunzhou's eyes flashed, with a smile in his eyes, the news that he was in a coma today spread all over Jixia for some reason, and when he saw these classmates coming to see him, he was really moved, plus Mao Jiao and Xiao Yuetan both climbed all the way up Yishan to see him, so Lu Yunzhou suddenly decided to invite everyone to dinner.

Everyone, it seems, is satisfied!

Zou Yan even took out his treasured old wine, and this time the wine and food were all complete, and the full table of wine and food was quickly wiped out.

Zhang Cang put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction, burped, and suddenly said, "Senior Brother Qi Yu, you haven't finished talking yet, why are there days and nights?" ”

Hearing this question, everyone's eyes focused on Lu Yunzhou's face.

Zou Yan and Xunzi glanced at each other, and they both became serious.

They suspected that Lu Yunzhou was from the sky, and they could take this opportunity to take a good look at it.

And the others remembered that when they came just now, at the door of the room, they heard what Lu Yunzhou said--

Is the earth round under your feet?

Lu Yunzhou smiled helplessly, thought in his heart, how to explain it simply and clearly, and then spoke: "Do you know why there is a shadow? ”

Xie Ziyuan glanced at Shanrou and said: "There is a story recorded in "Zhuangzi Qi Wu Treatise": "Two questions to Jingtian: 'Xi Zi Xing, this Zi stops; Sit, get up; How unremarkable? Jing said: 'What do I want to do? What I am waiting for is evil? What do I do for snakes, worms, and wings? Why is it a bad idea? Bad sense, so not?

"The two are the shadows of the shadows, and the scenery is the shadows. The two pairs of shadows are very dissatisfied with their erratic movements, accusing it of not having independent and specific ethics. And the shadow's answer, like its actions, is confused and uncertain. The shadow is so strange and mysterious that even philosophers like Zhuangzi have many questions, and even the shadow himself does not know why...... Could it be that Senior Brother Qi Yu knows this? ”

Xie Ziyuan regretted it after speaking, his words were too impulsive, how could Qi Yu be compared with Zhuangzi, he said this, he was really bad and provocative!

Xie Ziyuan glanced at Shanrou again, and saw that she still looked indifferent, sitting very close to Lu Yunzhou, and didn't feel inappropriate at all, and couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.
