Shu Yan saw that his gaze lingered on the third fish, so he said, "If Brother Ye likes this one, you can taste it first." ”

"No, although this fish smells mellow, its flavor must be strong, and it will definitely linger in your mouth for a long time after you eat it. In this way, it will definitely affect the taste of other fish, so you should start with a lighter taste. ”

"What Brother Ye said is reasonable. If it's light, of course, it's this steamed fish, so let's try it first. As he spoke, the two of them each took a piece and ate it.

Xiao Mo said: "Don't patronize and eat, you two also give an evaluation." ”

Shu Yan couldn't help but nodded: "Well, if you want me to talk about the benefits of this fish, four words can best sum it up, that is, 'delicate and fragrant'." ”

Ye Jian also nodded and said: "Since Brother Shu uses four words to comment, then I will also comment with four words, 'fragrant and not greasy'." ”

"You two are pretty much the same, but you don't say the most important thing. The main feature of steamed carp is to put less condiments when making it, and try to maintain its original flavor, so the most important thing about steamed carp is to highlight its word "fresh". ”

"It's not, I said eight words to Brother Shu, but it is not as appropriate as Brother Xiaomo's word 'fresh'."

"The first fish didn't hit the point, let's try the second fish. This is braised carp, I already ate it a few days ago, Brother Ye, you can try it too. ”

Ye Chung took a sip and said while chewing: "The fish fragrance is mixed with the oil fragrance, the oil is not greasy, the fragrance is not fishy, how can the word 'fragrant' be used!" ”

Yan and Mo nodded, the three of them drank a drink, Ye Chung looked at the third fish and said: "Don't talk about eating, just looking at this form, you know that this fish must have taken a lot of your work." ”

Xiao Mo said: "It takes a lot of work, but no matter how much work you put in, if it is not delicious, it will be in vain, no matter how good the shape is, it is useless, the key is to taste." ”

Shu Yan said: "Really, this fish has taken a lot of work from Xiao Mo, just with the shape of this fish jump, it can't be made without some effort." ”

"It's not just my credit, this juice is prepared by Brother Shu, Brother Ye, you can taste our craftsmanship."

Ye Chung took down a piece of fish, dipped it in some juice, chewed it carefully, and said after a long time: "The fish is charred and tender, the fish juice is mellow, this fish meat with this fish juice is really a match made in heaven, it can be called a good couple." ”

A match made in heaven, a good couple? These words hit Xiao Mo's sensitive point again, and he blushed secretly.

Shu Yan also knew that as long as Ye Yan drank a little wine, he often used words indiscriminately when he spoke, so he smiled and said, "Brother Ye, you drank too much again, right?" What does it mean to be a match made in heaven? These words are not a good word, right? ”

"Oh, it's wrong, it's wrong, it's supposed to be 'a perfect match, it's a masterpiece'. I'm sorry, I'll punish myself. Ye Ye had another glass of wine, remembering that he had been in Luoyang for many days and had no whereabouts, he couldn't help but feel sad and sighed a few times, "Lao Ziyun: If you cook a small fresh food in a big country, you can see from the three fish you make that you are virtuous in life and work, young and promising." What like me......"

"Brother Ye, what's wrong? Why sigh? ”

"Ugh." Ye Jian put down his wine glass and frowned quietly, "I'm afraid this is the last time our brother will drink." ”

"The last time you drink? Why did Brother Ye say this? Shu Yan asked in surprise.

"To tell the two of you, I have seen it through, and there is no hope of waiting for the officials to be awarded. I still have my wife and children at home, and I can't afford to spend time here, so I'm going to go back immediately. ”

"How can this work, won't your future be ruined?"

"You two don't know, I think I, Ye, is also well-known in my hometown, after being selected as filial piety, I came to Luoyang with great ambitions, and I wanted to find an official and a half-job, so as to make contributions to the country. But who knows, things are not as beautiful as imagined, the road to Shijin is all controlled by the wealthy, if you want to have a way out, you must be born in a wealthy family like the Shi family. ”

Xiao Mo said bluntly: "Not necessarily, isn't my brother Shu also from a poor family?" ”

"Brother Shu is the pride of our humble family, the problem is that Brother Shu is as virtuous as he is, how many people can there be in the world? We can't wait for it. I am now past the standing, almost not confused, and I have not achieved anything, and I am not as good as you two men who are weak and weak. ”

"Brother Shu became a Lang official at a young age, you are indeed worse than him, but I am nothing, why are you not as good?"

"Of course it's not as good, everyone has their own ambitions, although you are not an official, it is because your ambitions are not there. You just want to travel all over the world, be chic and comfortable, and to a certain extent, you have also achieved your life goal. Not only am I not as good as you, but even Ge Shen is not as good, although he was rated as inferior by Zhongzheng, but he can leave decisively, which is like me half and half down, I can't enter, I can't retreat, and I am wasted here. ”

Shu Yan listened to Ye Qing's words, and also felt reasonable, but if he gave up like this, he still felt a little pity, so he persuaded: "Brother Ye don't have to worry, just wait a little longer, maybe there will be a beauty difference awarded to you, don't worry, I will be responsible for all your expenses in the future." ”

Xiao Mo listened to Shu Yan's words, and said in his heart: "Isn't it? The two of us are almost out of the pot, do you still want to raise another person? Although he didn't say it, he stared at Shu Yan with dry eyes.

"How can that work? It's okay to have two meals a meal, with your little money, it's okay to raise Xiaomo alone, how can you have the energy to support three people? ”

"Huh? It turns out that the outside world thinks that I am eating white food, who said that he is raising me, I am raising him these days, okay? Xiao Mo complained about himself in his heart.

Shu Yan looked at Xiao Mo and smiled, and said to Ye Yong: "Actually, in recent days, although I don't care about firewood, rice, oil and salt, I know that the money I brought in Ruyin has long been spent, and I am now spending Xiao Mo's money." But don't worry, now that my money is about to come down, I won't have to worry about food and clothing at that time, and even your use will be available. ”

"Huh? It turns out that the fish and wine we eat now are all invited by Brother Xiaomo? Ye Meng hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Xiao Mo, and said to Shu Yan, "Come, let's two toast Xiao Mo's brothers." ”

The three of them drank wine, and Ye Jian said again: "If people are unlucky, they will encounter bad luck out of thin air." ”

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Shu Yan and Xiao Mo looked at him.

"Alas, I'm not afraid of two jokes when I say it. Today, because I had a bad stomach, I didn't get up in the morning, I felt that I couldn't do it, and I hurried to the toilet, just went in, and I didn't untie my pants, and I don't know who it was, I suddenly screamed, and it was black and rumbling, and I was scared by that bastard, and I didn't control it......"

"Huh?" Shu Yan and Xiao Mo listened, sprayed a mouthful of rice in the bowl, glanced at each other, and then lay on the desk and laughed. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the unlucky man was actually Ye Qing.

Shu Yan smiled: "I said, when I went to your house today, you sneakily didn't let me enter the house to drink tea, it turned out that you were secretly washing underwear!" ”

Xiao Mo just stopped laughing, and when he heard this, he laughed and fell on the case again.

"What are you laughing at? I don't treat you as outsiders, plus I drank a few glasses of wine today, otherwise, how can I tell such a scandalous thing? Ye Chung has always been like this, after drinking a little wine, he can say anything, he continued, "Today not only met a daredevil, but also encountered a strange thing. ”

"What's the strange thing?"

"Did you two go to the latrine just now?"

"Not yet."

"Whew." Ye Chung slapped his thigh, "You don't know wow, I don't know who it was just now, I hung a sign in front of the door of the toilet, and now the last toilet actually has to flop cards, do you think it's weird?" ”

Shu Yan and Xiao Mo looked at each other and smiled: "Didn't you post a notice next to you?" It reads, 'Every time you go to the toilet, you must flop; Every time it comes out, it must also flop'? ”

"You see?"

"That's what I wrote."

"Huh?" Ye Chung chewed half of the fish in his mouth, "You wrote it?" ”

Xiao Mo didn't wait for Shu Yan to speak, and preemptively said: "It was written by Brother Shu in the order of the director of this department." ”

"Why?"

"The reason has been clearly written above, that is, to understand the embarrassment of the monarchs. Shang Shuling also said that let everyone supervise each other, and if anyone does not comply, it will affect his future character comments. ”

"Ah, isn't it?" Ye Qing's eyes widened, "How can a trivial matter like the last toilet affect the quality of the reviews so seriously?" Aren't you lying to me? Why didn't I see the seal of Shang Shuling on it? ”

Xiao Mo suddenly said, "What are you lying to you?" As you said, this is just a trivial matter, this kind of thing is all based on self-discipline, where is the need to issue formal documents? Brother Shu is in charge of Shangshutai's writing, if you don't believe me, don't you believe him? ”

Hearing Xiao Mo say it so formally, Ye Jian believed it, "Well, in this way, it makes sense." Anyway, I don't have anything to do, and I have to not only lead by example, but also supervise the matter well. ”

"That's right."

Xiao Mo was very happy to see that he actually believed it, so he got up and left his seat, brought a pot of soup from the stove, served a bowl to Shu Yan, and said, "Here, this is the coriander egg drop soup I made, and there is sesame oil in it, which is very delicious." Then he also served a bowl to Ye Qing, "Brother Ye, your stomach has not been good in the past two days, drink a bowl of hot soup and make up for it." ”

The two looked at the bowl of clear and yellow soup with oil flowers, and took a small sip first, "Well, it's delicious." Then he took the bowl and drank it all, and then he filled it all and drank it all again. Fortunately, Shu Yan was afraid that he would drink it all, and Xiao Mo couldn't drink it, so he and Ye Yan put down the bowl one after another.

After Ye Ye went back, he was full of praise for Xiao Mo's cooking skills, and praised everyone he met. I really ran to supervise everyone's toilet situation, and everyone consciously flipped the cards in accordance with the regulations on the notice. Xiao Mo's move was originally just to solve his unspeakable secrets, but he didn't expect everyone to develop this habit.

After a few days, Shu Yan's money was really sent down, and the standard of 400 stone was 15 yuan of rice and 2,500 yuan per month. He took the grain and rice back and handed the money to Xiao Mo, who said happily: "Finally have money, you don't have to be so tight." ”
