Li Kui squatted on the edge of the wall, burping, and bursts of fishy breath rose from his stomach.

Li Kui is a big-bellied man, there is no way, people who practice martial arts can't stand the hunger for many years, even if it is coarse tea and light rice, an ordinary person who can eat it is dilapidated.

"This fish soup is almost meaningless, there is less ginger, the fish is not oily, there are no green onions, not even perilla, and it has not been cleaned up, and the materials have been ruined. There are also river fish with a muddy smell, which should be kept in living water for a few more days. ”

As soon as Li Kui finished eating, he began to bury himself and the food was unbearable, and he was so angry that he almost flipped the table and fought with him. The food is not delicious, and I haven't seen you eat less than two nests, drink less than a bowl of soup, and say that the cook is not a human being after eating?

The key is that many of these fish are still killed by Gao Yu, and Li Kui's burying the food is not ideal, and he also has the intention of burying him. Gao Yu is not a kind character, Gao Yu, who thinks that he has good leg and foot skills, immediately said unconvinced: "If you are capable, you can do it!" ”

Li Kui raised his eyes and said, "It's called!" Gai Ming'er will make you a white jade fish soup, so that you can see what it means to be in awe of food. I can't say it because I ruined the material, it's a pity. ”

Gao Yu turned his head angrily, but when he saw Qin Wenguang's smiling face, he was a little discouraged.

He found himself surrounded by a group of rough men from Yishui, and he was a little annoyed. Qin Wenguang is a good talker, but he can see that this person is not here to slap him, but for the sake of the bachelor's face, so he has kind words for him. But Gao Yu faced Qin Wenguang's stuttering, and Gao Yu was terrified and didn't dare to bear it at all. Not only that, but he also had to deal with it carefully. Gao Yu had a bitter face, and said in his heart: My blessings are shallow, and I can't afford it at all!

Before, Li Kui directly said the identities of the two.

The son of Jiangmen, this identity Gao Yu is disdainful, after all, Jiangmen is nothing in front of the literati.

Although he is a high-ranking scholar, he is also a bachelor's disciple, so he naturally has his arrogance. But the other identities of the two of them made Gao Yu dare not despise them, and the current official family is the most favored brother-in-law of the Liu family.

Gao Yu is at most under the banner of Su Shi in a small place, and this banner is often not easy to use, and there is too much face.

Gao Yu said that he couldn't imagine that he could still have a relationship with the palace, but Han Dahu didn't mince words about him, and completely took Li Kui as the head of the horse, but what about Qin Wenguang? looks like a simple person, but the problem is that this kind of person is easy to coax, and Qin Wenguang, who Gao Yu is confident that he can play, is also difficult to be mistaken, but once Qin Wenguang finds out that he is being used, he is also a thrilling lord to hate.

Gao Yu complained a little about Li Kui, what are you doing with such a high-end companion?

Isn't that a blockage for him?

Serve carefully, and I'm afraid that the other party will not be happy.

Two hours later.

The evening breeze is coming, and the spring wind is the coldest, but it always comes with a playful gesture.

With the beautiful scenery of the setting sun, a clumsy ox cart turned down from the official road, went up the embankment, and slowly approached them.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Gao Yu saw Su Shi's car turning from the official road to the river embankment from a distance, and the ox pulling the cart walked leisurely and slowly. When the car got closer, I saw clearly that it was a young man who was driving the car. The young man was none other than Su Shi's son, Su Guo. Since Su Guo became an adult, Su Shi has mostly gone to banquets because his son has followed him to take care of him. Before that, it was Gao Yu.

And the writer ......

Half in the bag.

His head was tilted on the side of the carriage, muttering something.

"Father, father is home."

When the host is not there and the hostess is at home, it is taboo to visit. Li Kui and the others could only wait outside, chatting with Gao Yu without a match.

The scribe opened his eyes drunken and hazy, held the handlebar and waved to a willow: "You are very gracious, but there will be a farewell when we meet, go back!" Let's go back! ”

In the courtyard of the embankment, a pretty middle-aged woman walked out, not too old, wearing coarse cloth and coarse clothes, but she could not hide her former beauty.

Hearing the scribe say this, he frowned slightly, sighed, and hurried over to help the scribe.

Li Kui and the others all walked up, looking at this scene, they didn't know how to say hello?

Or should I pretend I didn't see it?

After the young man helped the scribe into the courtyard, he hurried to confess: "A few of them, my father is drunk, and I make a few laugh, but I don't know how many of them are ......."

Gao Yu spoke first: "Uncle Dang, these people came from Yishui, this is Li Kui, the disciple of Zhou Yuan, the commander of Yishui County, these two are local ...... Squire. ”

"Meet Uncle Junior!" Li Kui took out the letter written by Zhou Yuan to Su Shi from his pocket, and then presented the gift list.

The young man is Su Guo, Su Shi's youngest son, who has been following Su Shi since he was born, and is also Su Shi's favorite eldest son. Su Guo naturally knew that Zhou Yuan was a disciple of his father in Hangzhou. I came to the capital a few times a few years ago, and I still have some impressions. hurriedly welcomed Li Kui and others into the house.

After the tea was served, they chatted a few words, mostly politely.

When the tea is cold, it is time for the guests to consciously say goodbye. But he was very aggrieved to find that Li Kui was a real person, Qin Wenguang didn't want to leave, and Han Dahu could only accompany him.

At this time, Su Guo could only stubbornly say warmly: "The cold house has prepared coarse tea and light rice, and please don't dislike it." ”

"Uncle Xiao is too polite, you can eat anything."

"Disturbing the master."

"You're welcome."

Gao Yu wanted to mention the identities of a few people to Su Guo several times, but he didn't have a chance, but he saw through it at this time. Li Kui didn't need him to introduce Su Guo at all, because Su Guo would soon see that a few people were unusual, mainly because they were thick-skinned.

It was getting dark, and Su Shi hadn't woken up yet, so Li Kui got up in disappointment and said, "Please also ask Uncle Xiao to tell the old man that we will come back tomorrow." He originally thought that after Su Shi woke up, he would say a few words, and it would be best to solve the purpose of their trip. It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, Su Shi has no signs of waking up.

Su Guo froze on his face with a smile at this time, and stood at the door with a wave of his hand to see off the three great gods.

The food for their family for four or five days made Li Kui and others eat a lot. As far as Li Kui's stomach is concerned, he said that he was a scholar, and Su Guo didn't believe it!

But the problem is, Senior Brother Zhou Yuan clearly said in the letter that Li Kui is his disciple and the first apprentice, so he must have extraordinary talents, right?

In the middle of the night, Su Shi woke up, shouting that he was thirsty, and after drinking warm tea, Su Shi remembered that there seemed to be a few living people at the door when he went home...... Holding his head and thinking for a while, he asked the person next to him: "I seem to remember that someone came to the house?" ”

"I've heard that it was a disciple you accepted in Hangzhou, surnamed Zhou. became an official in Yizhou and sent his disciples to come. I didn't expect you to be drunk, so I had to say goodbye and leave. The woman said helplessly.

The Great Song Dynasty almost spared no effort to promote the wine culture, from the imperial court to the local level, all places vigorously encouraged winemaking and drinking.

This is an extremely rare piece of history in ancient times.

As a direct result, there are many drunkards in the Great Song Dynasty.

Especially the literati, they are almost crazy about drinking, and the great writer Ouyang Xiu also calls himself a drunkard, and he is not ashamed of his drunken naivety at all. Su Shi is no exception, he is also a high roller in this. It's just that after getting drunk, the naïve attitude makes it difficult for the family to accept. Su Shi thought for a while and asked, "What about people?" ”

"Back to the inn." Woman.

Su Shi said unhappily: "Why don't you stay in the guest, our house is much better now than when we were in Huangzhou, the house is very spacious, and we have the money to keep the guests." But then he rejoiced again: "Tomorrow I will drink wine and cut meat, and invite him to drink it at home." ”

Anyone who has ever been drunk knows that once you wake up, it's hard to keep sleeping.

Su Shi put on a thick winter coat, stomped his feet, turned around and lit an oil lamp and went to the study.

On the desk in the study, sure enough, there was a letter written by Zhou Yuan to him, which had been opened, and it was obvious that his son Su Guo had already read it. He leaned and unfolded the letter, and Zhou Yuan explained the intention of Li Kui and others in Yingzhou in the letter, that is, to ask the teacher to make a name for a commodity called snowflake salt produced by Yishui, and write a poem that suits the occasion.

In addition, it comes with the effect of snowflake salt, which removes the bitter salt and takes away the halogen poison in the salt at the same time, making it a superb salt with a snow-white color. Su Shi also found the samples that were sent.

After opening it, I took a look at it, and I suddenly felt a sense of relaxation.

White.

It's too white.

The name Snowflake Salt is a fitting one.

Writing poems and lyrics was not difficult for him, he easily raised the smile on the corner of his mouth, unfolded the rice paper on the bookcase, evened out the ink, and started the draft.

Suddenly, he shuddered. Suspiciously, he glanced around and around, but found no one. Secretly shaking his head amusedly, his head resting on his fist, as if he was about to put down the pen but did not move, he suddenly seemed to be in the middle of the catastrophe. In the dark cell, there was a dead silence. Only creatures in the shadows will probe their brains in the middle of the night, and the sound of footsteps echoes in the long cell, thump......

"Prisoner Su Shi, 'How can you smell Shao and forget the taste, and you will eat no salt in March' Did you write?"

"Yes!"

"Does this sentence criticize the salt administration mean to slander the official family?"

"Never!"

……

Watching the courtiers who heard for the emperor leave, Su Shi once again fell into the silent fear of the prison. The good thing is that the eldest son sent a smoked fish when he brought food that day. The reason was that he didn't have enough money and couldn't afford meat, so the eldest son, Sumai, bought a fish for his father, who was in prison. It is said that it is safe to send meat, and it is safe to send fish. Su Shi said that he didn't expect that his son would forget such an important thing in order to make him eat better. Frightened, he picked up a pen overnight to write a letter to his younger brother Su Che, and also wrote a last word to his wife. After finishing the work, he waited for the day of beheading, and waited for several days, but no one paid attention to him.

He looked at the beams of the cell and wondered if the emperor wanted him to hang himself.

If it weren't for the high beams, he wouldn't have been able to climb up, and maybe he would have died in Bianliang ten years ago......
