Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 19 The Rich Fight for It
Wu Yong was a little confused, these elders gave jade as soon as they met, which made him feel a little at a loss. You must know that in later generations, a piece of jade with leftovers will cost tens of thousands, not to mention that the jade at this time is an authentic high-quality material, if it is not for the rich and noble, it will not be able to wear it at all.
After thinking about it, Wu Yong thanked him and said, "Since it is given by the elders, the kid does not dare to refuse, but he has to go back to ask his uncle and grandmother before he can accept it." ”
After a few people nodded with a smile, Wu Yong asked again: "How many uncles do you want to enter the middle school with the kid?" ”
"The virtuous nephew went to ask questions, and today he is too guarded to inspect and look back, and it is not easy to be disturbed."
Li Huang waved his hand, signaling Wu Yong to leave them alone.
Wu Yong was about to go back with the bamboo sieve, but found that the five people were staring at the steamed bun, and suddenly realized in his heart, so he handed the bamboo sieve to Wu Xu's hand, and bowed again: "Several uncles have worked hard all the way, since they don't go to rest in the middle, this relief bun can just relieve fatigue, and it is all a piece of filial piety for a kid." ”
Wu Xuan took the bamboo sieve and couldn't help sighing: "It is worthy of my Wu family, at a young age, I know etiquette and filial piety, if it is the descendants of my clan, everyone is like this, why worry about the family is not prosperous." ”
"Who says it's not, the children and grandchildren are not angry, even if they have thousands of family properties, they are like floating clouds......"
Wu Yong was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly found an excuse to get rid of the praise of a few people, and walked inside with five jade pendants in his arms.
Passing by the inner gate, the two guards did not stop them. When Wu Yong entered the middle school, he found that the lively crowd just now was stopped at a distance to stand and watch the excitement, on the huge field, there was a guard every short distance, and only Zhu Lidian and Li Tiandian accompanied Chen Qiu and others to talk back at the stove.
Wu Yong walked straight to the crowd, and he saw that his grandmother and uncle Zhuo Wenxuan were also there.
When he got closer, Wu Yong took out five jade pendants and explained the situation, and the grandmother looked very excited, and kept shouting things like 'ancestor manifestation'.
Zhuo Wenxuan pondered for a while, and said: "Yu Pei, you put it away, although the things given by the head of the family are a little valuable, but if they are returned, they will not be able to pass on their faces, and after Lord Taishou leaves, we will go to receive a few more family masters and treat them warmly." ”
At this time, Zhu Lidian's shout came from not far away, "Wu Yong, come here, Lord Fujun wants to see you." ”
Wu Yong promised loudly, and then handed over the five jade pendants to his grandmother, and trotted all the way to the stove, and when there was still some distance, he was stopped by his subordinates.
"Come here," Chen Qiu beckoned, while quickly eating the little remaining vegetable sandwich bun, then wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked gently: "I heard that you will also make a dish, which is more delicious than the worry relief bun, you can go and demonstrate it for the mansion." ”
As he spoke, he took out a piece of jade from his arms and stuffed it into Wu Yong's hand, "This mansion never eats white food, you take this piece of jade first, and see your performance later, if you are satisfied with this mansion, you can be recommended as a 'filial piety'." ”
Wu Yongleng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the inspection system implemented in the Han Dynasty had various names, some were called filial piety, some were called Mao Caiyi, etc., some were called virtuous and square, and some were called filial piety.
"Filial piety" is filial piety to parents, "悌" is to respect brothers, and "Litian" is diligent farming.
The Han Dynasty emphasized filial piety, and stipulated that the three elders were placed at the household registration rate, and there was basically only one 'filial piety' in 10,000 households.
In this era, if a person is recommended as 'filial piety', he is basically stepping into officialdom with half a foot, not only can he be exempted from servitude, but the state will also reward him with goods on major festivals.
Thinking of these in an instant, Wu Yong didn't talk nonsense, walked to the board, and immediately activated the system [Cooking] skills, only to see him mix noodles, roll dough, and cut noodles in one go.
Because of Chen Qiu's age, Wu Yong deliberately cut the noodles as thin as a hair this time.
When he cut noodles, Li Tiandian took the initiative to clean the iron pot for stir-frying, and then added water to the fire.
After he finished cutting the noodles and the water was just boiling, Wu Yong quickly finished the noodles, and after boiling the water twice, Wu Yong took out five bowls of noodles, poured chicken soup on them, and sprinkled them with chopped green onions.
Wu Yong picked up a bowl and stirred it a few times with bamboo chopsticks to let the soup fully soak into the noodles before handing it to Chen Qiu.
"This is the rice noodles?" Chen Qiu looked at the chicken noodle soup in his hand and swallowed his saliva, "It's worthy of being too empty to eat, just looking at it makes people appetizing." ”
Chen Qiu picked up a pinch of noodles with bamboo chopsticks, gently put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly a few times, and then sucked a small mouthful of noodle soup, only then did he say to Cao Cen Sheng and Cao Zhangyang, the thief: "You two also taste this rice noodles, the road is simple, the ancients did not deceive me, this simple bowl of clear soup noodles, not only the color and flavor are complete, but also the aftertaste is endless." ”
The two agreed, picked up the noodles, tasted a small bite, their eyes lit up, and echoed: "The lord is really discerning, this noodles and relief buns appeared in Nanyang, and they will be passed on to the world in the future, and they should have the skill of the lord's discernment." ”
"As soon as you say this, his name as a filial piety must be recommended by this government." Chen Qiu laughed, put down the dishes and chopsticks, stroked his beard, and sighed: "Well, this is the first time I have eaten such a delicious food in this house, and today I have learned from my heart." ”
The crowd was complimented again.
They are talking about it on one side, but Wu Xuke on the other side is not so good.
Wu Yong gave him the bamboo sieve and steamed buns, he didn't have time to be happy, and as soon as Wu Yong turned around and left, a group of wealthy businessmen came up behind him, and without his consent, everyone divided the worries and buns one by one.
Wu Xuan was a little angry, and he didn't care about the image of a gentleman at this time, so he shouted to everyone, 'Piff, give me back my worries', and wanted to snatch one or two of them.
There were already many people and few buns, and some rich people who grabbed the relief buns, after tasting a bite, they suddenly couldn't stop, and while dodging Wu Xu, they didn't forget to shout: "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”
Guo Fei was mixed in, he relied on his wide body and fat body, grabbed a relief bun with each hand, ate one in three or two bites, and then lifted the other one, laughing: "This relief bun is really the same as its name, eat, make people forget their troubles, today is someone to take the dragon liver and phoenix marrow to exchange with me, I am not rare." ”
He was a little carried away here, and he didn't want anyone to be dexterous, so he jumped up from behind him, grabbed the worry bun, and was so angry that Guo Fei shouted, "That little thief, quickly return me to relieve my worries." ”
Although Guo Fei kept chasing after the man, he was too fat, and he was out of breath after not running a few steps, so he could only glare at him angrily.
Seeing that Guo Fei was no longer chasing, the man immediately stopped, opened his mouth to bite, and while eating, he smiled at Guo Fei and said: "It's delicious, it's delicious, the dragon liver and phoenix marrow won't be changed." ”
Guo Fei was so angry that he glared at him, causing everyone to laugh.
A group of wealthy people were noisy, attracting another group of passers-by to gather and point at them.
At this moment, a subordinate official of Taishou came out of the middle and shouted loudly: "Taishou travels, idlers avoid it." ”
