Chapter Seventy-Two: Jiuding Foodie

When Mengxinzhi and Zongji discussed history, they also forgot that they were doing tai chi.

Meng Xinzhi still believed in her memory, and she asked puzzledly: "Which historical material of the Zhou Dynasty said that the people take food as the sky?" ”

"It's in the Book of Zhou, the Book of Shang." Zong Ji sold a pass.

"Where is this sentence in the Book of Zhou?"

"In "Shangshu, Zhoushu, Hongfan", does it say that there are eight kinds of government affairs of the country? [One is food, two is goods], the first is [food], followed by [goods], the people take food as the sky, and goods are second. ”

Zong Ji paused, and sighed with a face: "I didn't understand before, why do you young people always say that you are [foodies], and after studying it carefully, it turns out that there was already a saying of [food] in the Zhou Dynasty." ”

Meng Xinzhi was amused by Zong Ji's serious nonsense: "Dad is really talented." ”

"Where, if you want to say that you are talented, you young people are talented, and even Ah Yi says that he is a foodie." Zong Ji continued to be serious, "Today's young people are so good at quoting scriptures one by one, which is really embarrassing for us middle-aged and elderly people." ”

"Dad, you are stealing the concept, [food] in the Western Zhou refers to the country's economy and finance."

"Where's the change? "Shangshu, Zhoushu, Hongfan" says that the country has eight kinds of government affairs, [one is food, two is goods, three is rituals, four is Sikong, five is Situ, six is Sikou, seven is Bin, and eight is Shi]. Ah Xin, Dad asked you, is this the original text? ”

"It's not wrong in the original text."

"Isn't that the end of it?"

"Dad, this sentence is clearly stated, the first is called agriculture, the second is called commodity, the third is called sacrifice, the fourth is called engineering, the fifth is called education, the sixth is called public security, the seventh is called guests, and the eighth is called military."

"What is agriculture for? Isn't it just farmers growing food? ”

"Yes, Dad."

"What is the purpose of growing food? Is it just to eat? ”

"That's right, Dad."

"Is [food] just [foodie]? Dad asked you, is the truth clear, is there a problem with the logic? ”

"It's clear. No problem. Father. ”

"So, Dad still admires you young people very much, and you are a [foodie] as soon as you open your mouth. These two words are simply profound and enlightening. ”

Mengxinzhi gave Zong Ji two thumbs up: "These two words are really level, super super cultured." ”

Zong Ji responded with the same action: "That's not it! This is a serious eight-classic, from the Four Books and Five Classics. ”

"Dad, then I can only take one piece with me when I rob the tomb, which one should I bring first?"

"Ah Xin, what kind of tomb are you robbing? How dangerous is that? ”

"I'm talking about tomb robbing, and you have to write it separately, right? If I write, I'm in a tomb. I got everything I wanted. Then I came out. Isn't it all over in three sentences? ”

"Love, it's not Dad who said you, if you use a comma, you should be able to finish a sentence." Zong Ji is serious again: "You haven't finished reading this book yet, but you can't read it so quickly as a footwrap for your grandmother." ”

"Dad, you actually said that the tomb robbery I ordered for you is smelly and long, Dad, don't you want to see it at all."

"No, no, no, no, grandma's footwrap is fragrant, our grandmother has never wrapped her feet at all. Her footcloth is still embroidered? ”

"Really?"

"Really. When it's old enough to make cultural relics, Dad will show it to you. ”

"Okay, Dad."

"Ah Xin, do you know where Yiyan Jiuding comes from?"

""Historical Records: The Biography of the Plains Monarchs"?"

"No, no, no, Sima Qian is still just a record-taker. You can't think that just because Sima Qian wrote it first, it was his original. ”

"Okay, Dad, I'll be more rigorous in the future."

"That's right, the saying "Yiyan Jiuding" must have been passed down from the Zhou Dynasty."

"Dad, you want to say, Ji Dan [making ceremonies and making music], right?"

"That's right. It's Ji Dan. Zong Ji specially emphasized, "It's not the egg we eat on weekdays, you know?" ”

"Well, the fourth son of King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen is surnamed Ji, named Dan."

"That's right, Ji Dan established a complete set of rules and regulations to regulate the status and behavior of the aristocracy, and made the Zhou Dynasty strictly etiquette."

"Well, I know this, the Son of Heaven has nine tripods and eight tripods, the princes have seven tripods and six tripods, the doctor has five tripods and four tripods, and the Yuanshi has three tripods and two tripods."

"That's it! Only Zhou Tianzi can use nine tripods when eating, and one word and nine tripods is a joke. ”

"Dad has a point."

"Ah Xin, Dad has always been curious about one thing, if you can walk into the Zhou Dynasty in your dream, can you help Dad take a look?"

"See what?"

"That tripod is not filled with meat, if you can conduct a field trip, you can help your father see what kind of meat is in the Jiuding that Zhou Tianzi eats."

"This is simple, beef, sheep, suckling pig, fish, dried meat, tripe, pork, fresh fish, fresh dried meat."

"Ah Xin, aren't you fooling your father? What is the difference between dried meat and fresh dried meat? Aren't suckling pigs and pork both pigs? Aren't fish and fresh fish both fish? Where did it come from? ”

"I really haven't studied this seriously, I'm not very interested in ancient food, but there is indeed another theory, which says that Jiuding has beef, mutton, venison, pork, suckling pork, dog meat, wild duck meat, pheasant meat, and chicken."

"That's not right, Ah Xin, you see your other statement, pork, suckling pork, aren't they all pork?" Zong Ji said earnestly: "You are a cultural relics and museum major, and your sister is looking at you every day, you can't just just forget it, you know what Zhou Tianzi's Jiuding and Eight Gui are pretending to be, this is a matter of historical significance." ”

"Why, Daddy?"

"Then you don't know what's there, how can Dad cook you a meal that only Zhou Tianzi can eat? If you haven't eaten anything, how can Dad bear to leave you alone abroad? I can't eat enough, I can't sleep well, I have to clean up, study and eat by myself......"

"Dad, don't you exaggerate the more you talk about it, Professor Nie still thinks I'm so big, I have to be fed by you."

"Does Ah Xin need to be fed?" Zong Ji's face was full of anticipation.

"It's okay Dad, I lost this game!"

Nie Tianqin was a little dumbfounded from the side.

Not counting the fourteen years of estrangement, he thinks that his relationship with his son is very good, but he has never been harmonious to the extent of Dream Heart and Zongji.

Is this the legend that you can talk about anything?
