Chapter 22 Wensi Tofu

When Zhou Yu returned home, Feng Yue was still waiting for him in the courtyard.

"Xiaoyue, why don't you sleep yet? Did you drink your medicine on time? Zhou Yu, who was worried about Feng Yue's body, hurriedly asked.

"Drink, I can't sleep if you don't come back, so I'll just wait for you in the yard." Feng Yue poured him a bowl of water and said.

After Zhou Yu finished drinking, thinking that Feng Yue was sick and needed to rest, he hurriedly washed up and took her back to the house to sleep.

Luozhou City, Jincui Building.

"Qing'er, do you think I'm not good-looking enough today?" Su Wen was inspecting her makeup in front of the bronze mirror.

"Miss is pretty, even if she doesn't apply rouge gouache, she is also a beauty, how can she not look good?" The little maid Qing'er replied with a smile.

"Why doesn't the guy surnamed Zhou even want to look at me more? I kindly gave him the Flying Flower Order, and he still looked reluctant! Su Wen said with some dissatisfaction.

"That Zhou Gongzi is handsome and talented, and the slave maid heard that such people usually think very highly of themselves, and it is normal to be a little arrogant." Qing'er comforted her.

"This girl has never suffered such neglect!" Su Wen said angrily: "Qing'er, you help me keep an eye on the building, if you see the person surnamed Zhou coming, come and tell me immediately!" I'll see if he's more determined or if this girl is more charming! ”

"Yes, Miss!" Qing'er hurriedly replied.

After Su Wen finished speaking, she picked up the pieces of paper with poems written on them and admired them.

"That guy, the poetry is really good...... Su Wen muttered.

……

Feng Yue drank the medicine, slept quite soundly that night, and got up the next morning and started to be alive again.

Zhou Yu, who was instructing four men and four women to practice etiquette and cooking skills in the courtyard as usual, naturally didn't know that last night on the bank of the Luoshui River, someone had published six excellent poems in a row and got the news that Su Wen had obtained the Flower Order, and many people rushed to Jincui Building early in the morning to find out the content of these poems from Su Wen.

Seeing this situation, the old bustard in Jincui Building laughed, and hurriedly found Su Wen and said: "Xiaowen, many guests are coming for the poems in your hand, you can just put one or two poems out at a time, don't shake them all out at once!" This is a great opportunity to make money, you have to take advantage of it! ”

"Mom, don't worry, Xiaowen has her own measure." Su Wen replied.

Su Wen changed into a light green Luo skirt today, and skillfully applied powder, which looked more refreshing than yesterday.

Jincuilou is open for business in the morning, but there are very few customers in the morning on weekdays, but today is different, many people want to enjoy the masterpieces, so they are in a hurry to catch up early in the morning.

As soon as Su Wen appeared, it caused a commotion, after all, some people rarely see the top brand of Jincui Building, and today's beauties have masterpieces, which is even more attractive to these literati.

Su Wen's eyes swept away, but she didn't see the figure she was looking forward to. Yes, who would be interested in listening to their own poems? Su Wen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart...... Wait, why would I be disappointed?

The guests were still looking forward to the poems in her hand, and Su Wen didn't want everyone to wait too long, so she walked to the stage in the middle of the lobby on the first floor, where the Qing people played the piano and danced, and it was also their cornucopia. Many people spend a lot of money to listen to a song or enjoy a painting, which is the source of income for the Qing people.

If the visiting guests have attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, they may be favored by the Qing people and get the opportunity to be alone with them, and they may be able to capture the hearts of beautiful women. But the Qing people signed a deed of sale with Jincui Building, even if the two of them are happy, they still need to get together enough silver taels to redeem the woman, in fact, many so-called talents are not as rich as the people!

"You all of you must have come here for those poems, right?" Su Wen saluted in front of everyone.

"Yes, I heard that Miss Su got a few good poems yesterday, so I'll wait to take a look."

"I heard that the poet knows poetry, not only is the poem written well, but the words are also excellent! Miss Su, we are all eager to wear it! ”

"Miss Su, tell us the content of those poems......"

The voices of the crowd came and went.

Su Wenwan smiled and said: "Yesterday on the bank of the Luoshui River, I did meet a person who was eight years old, I came up with three topics, and the son actually wrote six poems in a row between talking and laughing, each topic was accompanied by a poem and a word, and each of them can be said to be a masterpiece that will last for centuries!" ”

Listening to Su Wen's praise, everyone was even more boiling.

"Each one is enough to last forever? Miss Su is probably a little overrated, right? Is there such a strange person in the world? ”

"That's right, it's normal to get one or two good works by chance, but if you say that this person wrote six masterpieces in the middle of talking and laughing, it's a bit unbelievable!"

"You know what? When did Miss Xiaowen talk nonsense? Presumably, that person is really a well-educated person, so he can be so praised by Miss Su! ”

"Huh? Then Miss Su won't like him, will she? I still want to marry Miss Su......"

"Just you? You don't have as much possessions as Miss Su, don't think about this kind of thing, it's better for me to complete this sacred mission! ”

"The surname is Liu, you are really shameless......"

Su Wen waited for everyone's discussion to calm down a little before she spoke: "Since these six poems are all the best in poetry, they can be regarded as treasures in the literary world, and since they are treasures, they should be carefully tasted and not blasphemed." Therefore, according to the three topics, the little girl released a poem and a poem every day, and accompanied it with a song and offered a dance, what do you think? ”

Not only can you hear good poems, but you can also hear the music and dance that Su Wen has matched, who wouldn't want to? And all the people applauded.

Su Wen smiled with satisfaction and said, "Then today, the little girl will dedicate this first topic, the poems of Qixi Festival, to you!" ”

Su Wen turned her head and motioned for Qing'er to unfold the poem that had been copied on the large piece of paper in advance, and then said, "Everyone, please see, this first poem is entitled "Autumn Evening"! ”

Everyone watched with bated breath at the contents of the paper.

"The silver candle autumn light is cold, and the small fan flutters fireflies. This is the life of a palace maid, I can't imagine that this benevolent brother can portray the situation in this deep palace so delicately, and his pen power is extraordinary! ”

"Brother Li is right, the author of this poem outlines the life of a frustrated palace maid in just a few words, which is not bad!"

"The sentence 'The night is as cool as water' is also very well written, cleverly expressing the lonely life in the palace......;

When the audience was still enjoying "Autumn Evening" with relish, Su Wen asked Qing'er to unfold another piece of paper and exhibit the second song "Queqiao Immortal".

As soon as this word came out, the scene exploded directly. Qin Guan's poem was quite popular among girls when Zhou Yu was in middle school, not to mention what kind of shock the appearance of such a poem would bring to the scribes when the development of the word was not yet mature. Many people immediately said that this poem can be hailed as "the first word of Tanabata".

The noise lasted for a long time before it gradually subsided, Su Wen left the poems for everyone to enjoy, and she left to dance and compose music for the two poems.

……

The capital, the palace of Wenguo.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yu sent someone to offer two jars of fine wine, saying that it is a rare wine, please taste it!" Lin Chun, the head of the Internal Affairs Office, walked into the imperial study and said.

"Oh? Jin'er brought me wine? Then I have to try it! A middle-aged man put down the recital in his hand and said with a smile on his face: "A few days ago, I sent someone to send a wonderful method of saltpeter ice making, and I have already announced it to the world, and the people of my country can use it as much as possible, which is a good thing for the benefit of the common people!" ”

This person is the emperor of Wenguo, Chen Ming.

"His Royal Highness King Yu cares about the common people, and the old slave congratulates His Majesty!" Lin Chun bowed first.

"Jin'er is gentle by nature, thinks about the country and the people in everything, and is indeed a virtuous king." Emperor Wen nodded.

After a while, the eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office brought two jars of wine to Emperor Wen's table. As soon as Emperor Wen opened the wine jar, he was fascinated by the rich aroma of wine.

"This wine sent by Jin'er is really a treasure in the wine, even the royal wine of my Wenguo does not have such a mellow fragrance!" Emperor Wen couldn't wait to pick up the wine and scoop the wine, and he didn't use the wine glass and jug, and took a sip directly into his mouth. The liquor entered his throat, and Emperor Wen felt a burst of pleasure in his heart and lungs.

"What a good wine! Jin'er has a heart, and he has found such a fine wine to dedicate to me, and his filial piety is commendable! Emperor Wen took another sip of wine and said, "Lin Chun, immediately put two pots of this wine on and send it to Concubine Yu!" In addition, 500 taels of gold and 300 brocades were sent to Luozhou! ”

"Minions command!" Lin Chun responded.

Luozhou City, Xiaolong Village.

"Today, we're going to talk about a simple dish. Of course, it's easy for me, but it's not necessarily easy for you. The name of this dish is Wensi Tofu, how do you feel when you hear the name? Let's talk about it. Zhou Yu began to instruct several teenagers to do practical cooking.

"Brother Xiao Yu, what's so difficult about this tofu?" Liang asked back. Liang Hui's progress is the fastest, and the general knife work has mastered it relatively well.

"Yes, we usually practice, and a piece of tofu has to be cut many times!" Wang Yu also said.

After listening to the words of the two, Zhou Yu sneered and said, "Do you think that you have no pressure to cut a tofu, and it is as easy as a hand?" ”

The young and vigorous Liang Hui nodded immediately.

Seeing his appearance of half a jar of water jingling, Zhou Yu took out a piece of shredded tofu he had cut from the kitchen and poured it into a bowl filled with water, and the shredded tofu fell into the water but did not melt. Several people were amazed when they looked at this level of knife work, and their level was not quite able to cut such tofu.

Zhou Yu blanched the tofu again, boiled it slightly, and let them taste the taste. Several people scooped a spoonful and found that the tofu that was scattered in the water and did not disperse melted in the mouth, and the taste was extremely soft, and they couldn't help but secretly admire Zhou Yu's cooking skills.

"Liang Hui, you cut me a shredded tofu like this now, and I'll take a look." Zhou Yu stared at Liang Hui and said.

"Brother Xiao Yu...... I can't do it......" The inflated arrogance on Liang Hui's body disappeared, and he replied with a little blushing.

"Remember, cooking is not something that can be learned so easily, from knife work to cooking, every step needs to be mastered by heart, and it takes a lot of tempering to master it. If you are still as complacent as you are today, you will never be a good chef, and even if you can enter a restaurant, you will probably be swept away for making mistakes! Zhou Yu said solemnly. This is an important lesson for this group of teenagers, Zhou Yu changed the style of hippie smiles in the past.

"Brother Xiao Yu, we know, we will learn cooking seriously......" The children lowered their heads and said.

"Okay, now I'll show you how to cut this Wensi tofu on the spot......" Zhou Yu picked up a piece of tofu and began to shred.

Zhou Yu's skillful knife skills not only amazed several children, but even Feng Yue and Feng Liang were full of praise. Especially Feng Yue, she didn't expect that Zhou Yu, who used to be a "distant cook", would have such a perfect knife work.

"Okay, that's how to cut Wensi tofu, let's start practicing. But say it in advance, everyone must eat the fruits of their practice! Zhou Yu left in style after leaving a word.

Several teenagers looked at each other for a while, and then began to pick up kitchen knives and cut tofu......
