Chapter 213: Cutting Shares and Serving the King
Zong Ji has been suffering from insomnia lately.
I finally fell asleep, and I would dream of the scene where Zong Guang and Nie Guangyi confessed to Mengxinzhi at the same time, and I was awakened from time to time.
In his heart, Zong Ji couldn't help but want to be on his son's side.
This is not only due to his father's nature, but more importantly, he understands Zongguang's nature.
Just ask how many people in this world can suffer so much like Zongguang, and they can be so positive and kind.
Zong Ji hopes that Zong Guang's next days will be smooth.
But he couldn't ignore the future of Dream Heart.
Maggie Lu can never be a good mother-in-law.
It's not normal times, let alone such serious emotional problems.
Whenever he thought of this, Zong Ji would want to do his best to promote the harmony of Dream Heart and Nie Guangyi.
How good Nie Guangyi is, there is no mother-in-law, where is the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?
Father-in-law, that's not to mention.
Nie Tianqin's love for Meng Xinzhi was directly written on his face, and he couldn't wait to go to the house now to help his son make a decision.
The question is, how do you look at his generalized big brother, how is it unreliable.
This is not right, that is not good, and Zongji began to be anxious.
's daughter is obviously still young, he didn't even think about letting Mengxinzhi go on a blind date or anything, why did he suddenly have to face such a problem.
"Dad, why did you sigh on the rooftop early in the morning, and I didn't see you doing Tai Chi?"
"Ah Xin is here, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"It's a bit troublesome to adjust the jet lag, so I just got in place at one time and got up early to do Tai Chi with my father."
】
"It's still my family's most intimate treasure."
"Is Dabao talking about my brother?"
"What kind of treasure is your brother, of course it's Ah Xin."
"That brother must be sad when he hears it."
"Just make it difficult for him, manly man, can he still bear it?"
"That's right." The dream heart has always been what Zongji says.
"Do you want to tell Dad, what do you think?"
"What do you think?"
"It's your brother and Nie Guangyi."
"What's the comparison between the two?"
"Dad thought the same way, but didn't you ask the family to send you back yesterday?"
"Ah, isn't this what Dad did?"
"That's a call from Professor Nie, saying that we will come back together, and asked me not to pick it up."
"Professor Nie's side...... I talked about someone, so I went straight home. ”
"Huh? Wouldn't that have to have a new mother-in-law? ”
"Daddy, what are you talking about?"
"Ah Xin, what does Dad mean, is Professor Nie's new wife easy to get along with?"
"I don't know, I don't think I'm going to get married."
"Huh? Just a hooligan? ”
"Daddy, what do you want. Professor Nie and Professor Xiao are both successful professors, and their children are also very supportive, but they don't get married yet, and they haven't discussed it yet. ”
"Are all successful professors?"
"Well, yes, Professor Xiao Zhitian is Mr. Nie's mentor in France, Professor Nie is Professor Xiao's son's mentor, and then, Professor Xiao is the first graduate student led by Professor Nie."
"Is it that complicated?" Zongji needs to take a look.
"It's not complicated, Professor Xiao confessed to Professor Nie when he was young, but Professor Nie felt that he couldn't accept the teacher-student relationship, so he didn't develop. Later, they were married. Later, they were all widowed. The cause of the incident is said to be that Professor Xiao's son came to China to find his mother's mentor as a mentor. ”
"Isn't that complicated? Dad was in a fog, how did you know? ”
"When we were in Italy, we had a talk together. Professor Siu is also retired, and her son feels that his mother and first love should be renewed. ”
"Is that just a direct talk?"
"Dad, our family is also a reorganized family, can't you still accept such a situation?"
Yume's heart was a little surprised.
How could she know that Zong Ji was taking other people's relatives to investigate.
"No, no, no, Dad is thinking, Professor Xiao is not getting along."
"Has Dad had such a good relationship with Professor Nie recently? Do you also have to consider whether the other person gets along well or not? ”
"No, no, no, at the beginning, wasn't Dad worried that Professor Nie would be deceived? I heard you say that the conditions of the two sides are about the same, so it should be very similar and there is nothing wrong. ”
"Oh, is Daddy going to do Tai Chi this morning?"
"No, I can't calm down today, or I'll sit here and talk to my father."
"Is there anything on Daddy's mind?"
Zong Ji wanted to ask Meng Xinzhi's opinion on Nie Guangyi and Zong Guang, but when the words came to his lips, he felt a little inappropriate.
The relationship between this is even more complicated than the situation of Professor Xiao and Professor Nie.
"Have you figured out where to work?" Zong Ji temporarily changed the question.
"I have to think about it again, I made an appointment with Mr. Nie to go to a few museums first."
"With Nie Guangyi? Ah Xin is so familiar with him now? ”
"I don't know if I'm familiar with it, but Mr. Nie knows a lot about museums, and he can give me advice and suggestions on career development."
"So powerful? He didn't do it to please you, did he? ”
"I don't think so, Mr. Nie's advice is quite profound, not the kind of temporary cramming."
"In this way, Ah Xin seems to have a great opinion of him."
"No, Mr. Nie has always been quite inscrutable."
"Does that mean Ah Xin has been pondering?"
"Dad, what do you want to ask me?"
"What can Daddy ask? What is there for Dad? Doesn't this just happen to know that Ah Guang and Nie Guangyi have confessed to you, Dad's heart, just ......"
"Daddy." Yumeshin interrupted.
"Huh? What's wrong, Ah Xin? ”
"There are more people who confess to your daughter, you have to worry about the past one by one, you don't have to do Tai Chi every morning."
Meng Xinzhi didn't plan to discuss emotional issues with his father in depth at this time.
It's not that there is a secret between her and her father, but because of her brother, there is a good chance that his father will not give the most frank advice.
What's more, if Dad knew about the agreement between her and her brother, he would think that she was forcing herself.
The palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and Yumexinzhi doesn't want to put his father in a dilemma.
Meng Xinzhi had already realized that he had a good impression of Nie Guangyi.
But can this kind of good feeling really compare to the relationship between her and her brother for so many years?
In the heart of the dream heart, there is a big question mark.
"Ah Xin, Dad has always thought that you are still young, why in a blink of an eye, you have reached an age where you have no way to only be a little padded jacket by your father's side?"
"How so? As long as Dad needs it, I will always be the little padded jacket by your side. ”
"That's not good, Dad has to face the reality as soon as possible, how can he forcibly tie his daughter to his side?"
"Why did you force it? I'm obviously the most happy! ”
"That's not good, when you all get married, Dad will take your mother around in a dashing manner."
"Okay, I'm sorry, Dad, it's me and Ah Yi who dragged you down."
"Ah Xin, what are you talking about?"
"Of course, it's online competition for favor and attention." Yumeshin took Soji's arm.
Zong Ji patted the back of Meng Xinzhi's hand: "It's better to be like this now." ”
"Dad, didn't you say it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren? You can relax, and there is no need to worry about us at all. ”
Everybody can say it.
It's another thing if it really falls on your head.
"Jijizi, call your daughters over for dinner." Meng Lan's voice came from downstairs to the rooftop.
"Lan Lanzi, why did you get up so early? What did you do today? I'll take Ah Xin down immediately. ”
"Moistening the cake."
As soon as Meng Lan's voice fell, Zong Yi, who was still lying on the bed, actually came to the floor where Zong Ji and Meng Lan lived one step earlier than Zong Ji and Meng Xinzhi.
Running cakes are a very traditional and laborious snack, and there are many places that call them spring cakes.
There are two essences of moist cakes, one is the skin and the other is the filling.
The essence of moistening the crust is thin, preferably thin to transparent.
Thin as a cicada's wings, but tough enough to be good.
There are so many options for fillings, and each home has its own unique recipe for moisturizing cakes.
There are 11 kinds of fillings for the Snack of Dreams, including bean sprouts, peas, dried tofu, shredded meat, shredded carrots, shredded fried eggs, fish fillets, shrimps, oysters, minced peanuts, and puff pastry seaweed.
There is also a special moist cake sauce made by Menglan.
It looks like it's just a small strip wrapped in the style of an ancient pillow, and when it comes to preparation, it's not a lot of work at all.
There are so many kinds of fillings, and each one takes a different time to cook.
Finally, the water is drained and mixed into a pack.
Coupled with the preparation in the early stage, it can definitely be regarded as a kung fu dish.
Under normal circumstances, no one would make moist cakes for breakfast.
Meng Lan has been really passionate about cooking recently.
Whoever stops him will be in a hurry.
Zongyi was the first to arrive, and naturally he was the first to eat.
She picked up one wrapped by Menglan and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
Yumeshin and Soji came in at this time.
Seeing Zong Yi's posture of blowing and stuffing it into his mouth, Dream Heart and Zong Ji looked at each other and smiled.
Zong Yi of the Dream Heart Gang wiped the corners of his mouth: "I'm not afraid of being hot." ”
"What's there to be afraid of? Of course, you should eat it while it's hot! ”
"Ah Yi doesn't know the origin of the moist cake?" Zong Ji was a little surprised: "Dad didn't make it for you to eat." ”
Zongyi's mouth was stuffed, and Mo Hu said unclearly: "Dad is embarrassed to say that you used to eat alone with your sister, and you only remembered me when it was cold." ”
"Classmate Zongyi, the correct way to eat moist cakes is to wait until it's cold before eating."
"Don't trust you." Zongyi protected the three moist cakes that had been wrapped, and he was afraid that he would be robbed by his father and sister.
"Ah Yi, do you know the story of [Cutting Shares and Fengjun]?"
"Yes. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a monarch in the Jin State named Chong'er, who was the Duke of Wen of Jin. Jie Zitui followed Jin Wengong from the beginning, and in the process of an exile, the pampered Jin Wengong was so hungry that he was dizzy, and Jie Zitui secretly cut off the meat on his thighs and stewed soup for Jin Wengong to drink, saving his life. This incident has been praised by many celebrities in later generations. ”
"Oh, my sister has grown a lot lately."
"Of course, it doesn't depend on whose sister it is."
"Then Ah Yi knows, what happened to Jie Zitui?"
"I don't know, isn't it over after cutting the meat? must have run out of ammunition and food, so he would have cut off all the flesh of his thighs, in that era, could he still survive like this? ”
"Jie Zitui did survive."
"And then?"
"Later, when Jin Wengong rewarded him, he forgot about him."
"Huh? Jin Wengong, this is too bad, right? ”
"The story doesn't end here."
"Sister, sister, tell me about it." Zongyi slowed down the speed of eating moist cakes.
"Jin Wengong forgot about Jie Zitui, and Jie Zi Tui didn't mention it himself, and took his elderly mother to live in seclusion in Mianshan."
"That's pretty gentleman."
"Yes, people have made up their minds to never ask about the world again."
"Sister, sister, sister, listening to your tone, is there a follow-up?"
"Well, it took a long time for Jin Wengong to remember that he had forgotten about Jie Zi, he didn't want to carry the infamy of ingratitude, so he wanted to reward Jie Zi and push him out of the mountain."
"And then?"
"Then, Jie Zitui was unwilling, so Jin Wengong set fire to the mountain and forced him to take his old mother out of the mountain."
"Still with this......"
"And that's not all." In Zongyi's shocked face, Meng Xinzhi gave the ultimate answer, "Because Jie Zitui was always unwilling to comply, Jin Wengong burned Jie Zitui and his elderly mother to death. ”
"I've seen it!" Zong Yi thought for a moment, "But, my sister, aren't we talking about running cakes?" ”
"Ah Yi, what your sister told you is the origin of the moist cake." Zong Ji answered at this time, holding a plate of wrapped moist cakes in his hand.
"Uh......" Zong Yi looked puzzled: "In this story, apart from the piece of meat on the thigh, what else is related to eating?" ”
"Jin Wengong also regretted it after burning Jie Zitui to death, he didn't really want to burn Jie Zitui, nor did he think that Jie Zitui would be so strong, after Jie Zitui died, Jin Wengong stipulated that on that day every year, the whole country can not make fires, this is the origin of the Cold Food Festival, that is, the Qingming Festival in later generations, it is also said that it is the day before Qingming, in short, you have to let things cool and then wrap them up and eat."
"Oh, the moist cake should be cooled because of customs and the cold food festival, not because it is better to be cool." Zong Yi stuffed a big mouthful into her mouth again, she was almost finished eating at this time, pointed to the plate in Zong Ji's hand, and urged her sister and father: "You two should also hurry up and taste it while it's hot." ”
Moist cake is a traditional snack in southern Fujian.
There are many legends about moist cakes, and the methods are also strange.
Some people even make it sweet, and some make it into durian filling.
What Menglan makes is the most traditional moist cake.
Dream Heart hasn't eaten it since he was eleven years old.
When I ate it in my mouth early in the morning, I suddenly had a feeling of being separated from the world.
If only my brother were there.
If only time could stand still in this moment.
