For the title of "God Chef", Xiao Mo was not modest, and gladly accepted it, "You just know." ”

Although Biyu's family eats delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, he has long been tired of eating, and he wants to change his taste, so he said: "That's great, Brother Mo, since you have such good skills, why do you suffer with that poor boy here?" Why don't you go to my house and cook for me and my parents, how much money my father gives you doesn't count, I will give you another 10,000 yuan every month, and you can eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, what do you think? ”

"Do you think this boy seems to be short of money?"

"If you don't lack money, why do you only eat leeks and eggs?" Speaking of this, Biyu suddenly remembered something, and said with a wicked smile: "These two things are aphrodisiacs, you two are both young like me, and you have nowhere to vent, and you can't be hard and uncomfortable in the morning, a pillar of optimus?" ”

"What is an aphrodisiac? Where is it hard? What is Optimus? "Xiao Mo, as a yellow flower girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, of course she doesn't know anything about it.

"You really don't know? Have you never been hard in the morning? Biyu thought Xiao Mo was pretending to be confused.

"Nonsense, I never know where to be hard, and I'm not uncomfortable." Xiao Mo was still confused.

"What to pretend, a man has grown up, this kind of thing is not ashamed, if there is no such phenomenon, it means that there is a physiological problem."

At some point, the rain outside had stopped. Xiao Mo still didn't understand, and was about to ask again, but saw Shu Yan push the door and come back, although it had just rained, but the section of the road from Shangshutai to the party hall was all paved with bricks and stones, quite smooth, not muddy at all, just wet the soles of his shoes. Shu Yan stomped his feet at the door, looked up and saw that there was an extra person in the room, "Ah, isn't this Shi Gongzi?" Why did you, a child of a wealthy family, come to the humble house today? ”

Biyu sneered: "Don't say that, although I am from a wealthy family, in terms of official position, your Shang Shulang has the same rank as my secretary Lang, but his status is slightly superior." ”

Shu Yan also snorted and said: "Don't say that, although Shang Shulang is a little taller than the secretary Lang, everyone knows that Shang Shulang is busy every day, and your secretary Lang is idle all day long, and now the emperor intends to suppress Shang Shutai and promote your Zhongshu Province and Secretary Pavilion, so the children of your scholar clan are often more inclined to Secretary Lang." ”

Biyu smiled smugly after hearing this: "I came today, not to discuss these with you, but to ask you for two treasures, I don't know if you are willing to give it?" ”

"Shi Gongzi is really telling jokes, I'm a poor family, how can I have any treasures?"

Biyu was not in a hurry, pointed to the side with his finger, and said, "Shu Shang Shulang, who doesn't know that you have two volumes of the Ancient Heavenly Book and a living god chef?" ”

"That's what you're talking about, and I can tell you unequivocally that the Book of Music will never give it to you; As for Brother Xiao Mo, you have to ask for his will, you have a golden nest and a silver nest, and I will not stop him from wanting to enjoy happiness with you. ”

"What?" Xiao Mo was furious after hearing this, "Okay, you Shu Yan, you would rather give up on me than give up this bamboo slip, it turns out that in your heart, I am not as good as a broken book?" Do you believe that I ruined it? As he spoke, he took the bamboo slips under the stove, and they were about to burn them.

"Don't." Shu Yan and Biyu were both scared into a cold sweat.

Shu Yan also said casually unintentionally, but he didn't expect Xiao Mo to get angry, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, Xiao Mo, I mean, although the two of us are good brothers, but how to say it, they are also two independent people, of course I have to ask you about your affairs, how can I call the shots." And the main thing is - I know you're not going. ”

Xiao Mo listened to it and felt that it made sense. Although he still has no breath left, the bamboo slip has finally been saved. Biyu saw that the two of them were arguing for a while and making peace for a while, and was a little impatient: "Shu Yan, I'll talk about Xiao Mo's matter later, I'll ask you for the "Book of Music", do you give it or not?" ”

Xiao Mo was annoyed, and he had nowhere to spread fire, so he pointed the finger at Biyu: "Ah, uneducated things, I've never seen someone ask for something so horizontally." ”

Biyu didn't want to provoke Xiao Mo, so he still aimed at Shu Yan, and Shu Yan said: "Okay, since you are so reasonable, then you can give me a legitimate and justified reason, and I may give you the "Book of Music". ”

"There are certainly reasons. You should also know that the "Book of Music" is one of the six classics corrected by the sage Confucius, which has been dead for hundreds of years, and everyone in the world sighs for it. Because of its demise, it has led to the disharmony of music theory and the distortion of rhythm in the world. Now that such an important thing has seen the light of day, it should be celebrated by the whole world, it should be dedicated to the imperial court, and it should be carried forward by the imperial court, how can it be left in private hands and enjoyed by itself? ”

Although Biyu had a tough attitude, he was not unreasonable, and Shu Yan was speechless. He originally wanted to dedicate the "Book of Music" to the imperial court, but he had not yet implemented it. One is because there is no suitable opportunity yet; Second, the standard of a gentleman's self-cultivation is to pass through the five classics and six arts. Shu Yan is now only happy and royal is weak, and he is a book lover, he hasn't seen such a peerless thing himself, how can he give it away easily, not to mention that he knows that once he gives it away, it will be difficult to see it again; Third, he was worried that after dedicating it to the imperial court, if he could not be others, he would destroy this unique volume, so it was better to keep the insurance himself.

"How? Have you thought about it? You can weigh it yourself, I'll leave first, but you know the laws of the court, what is the crime of hiding the peerless solitary book and not handing it in? What is the crime of taking in a non-eunuch foreigner in the Shangshutai Mansion? After Biyu finished speaking, he pushed the door and left, and came back without taking two steps, not for anything else, just for the saucer of leeks. As a wealthy family, he originally disdained to eat things from poor families, but the aroma was really hard to resist. He walked straight to the desk, picked up the leeks and left, and said as he walked: "I don't eat it, take it to my chef to learn." ”

This move really made Shu Yan and Xiao Mo dumbfounded: Huh? The son of a wealthy family and a young talented secretary actually took a plate of side dishes from others! Xiao Mo was angry and funny, "Hey, there are so many good cooks in your family, why did you rob me and Brother Shu of dinner?" ”

was about to chase after him, Shu Yan stopped him and said, "That kind of thing is very hot, don't eat it." ”

Xiao Mo didn't really chase after him: "It's cheaper for him." Suddenly, he remembered what Biyu had just said, so he asked Shu Yan, "Brother Shu, you said that eating leeks is hot, and just now Shi Biyu said that if you eat leeks and eggs together, they will be hard in the morning, what is going on?" Have you ever been hard, and where is it? ”

Shu Yan's face turned red after "brushing", and he said quite embarrassedly: "It's difficult, don't you have it?" ”

"Me? I've never had one, that's why I asked you. ”

Shu Yan looked at Xiao Mo with an innocent face strangely, and said, "Only the morning knows about the morning...... Let's not talk about this, let's talk about how to deal with Shi Biyu and ask for the "Book of Music". ”

"He said he would give it to you? "The Book of Music" you are so precious, of course you can't give it to him. ”

"But if you don't give it to him, you heard it just now, and the two reasons he said are not unreasonable, and if they are investigated, not only will I be punished, but you will also be expelled. Besides, this classic should have been handed over to the imperial court, but it was only a matter of time, and now that I have read both volumes, I will hand them over. ”

Xiao Mo didn't care about what treasures were not treasures, but she was worried that she would be kicked out of the party hall and leave Shu Yan. Since Shu Yan had agreed, of course she didn't object, so she said: "Speaking of which, it's thanks to Shi Biyu today, otherwise, this treasure of yours might have been scrapped." ”

"Scrapped? What's going on? ”

"Didn't you ask me to dry the bamboo slips in the morning, it just so happens that the weather is good today, so I will take them under the windowsill, dry them, and go to cook first." After the meal was cooked, it was too hot to work, so I took a shower in the house, but before I finished washing, the sky had changed outside, and I didn't know it. The kid surnamed Shi came, and I had just dressed and had not spoken to him for a few words, when it started to rain outside. I'm secretly glad that if Shi Biyu didn't come, wouldn't your two volumes of treasure be ruined by the rain? ”

"Huh?" Shu Yan was taken aback, secretly glad, but also a little afraid, "You, you, what are you good about, such an important thing, you are so careless." But anyway, since Shi Biyu indirectly saved the "Book of Music", it can be regarded as fate, so it will fulfill him. ”

The next day, Shu Yan handed over the "Book of Music" to the imperial court, and the Manchu dynasty was shocked. Sima Yan was also very pleased. Shi Hui and others flattered on the side: "The Book of Music" was originally a treasure of pre-Qin Confucianism, died for hundreds of years, and did not appear in the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty Wenjing and Guangwu Zhongxing, and now it has seen the light of day again in this dynasty. Sima Yan was even happier and handed over the "Book of Music" to the Royal Library - the Secretary Pavilion, which was checked and proofread by the secretary Lang Shibiyu.

Shi Biyu was ecstatic when he got this bamboo slip, but when he opened the bamboo slip, he was dumbfounded—most of them didn't know it. Although he was born smart, he couldn't afford Shu Yan's hard work, and he couldn't endure a little hardship. He thought to himself: This ancient book is an out-of-print treasure, there is no second copy in the world, and no one is competing with me, anyway, there is no hurry at this time. Thinking of this, the mood was open-minded, and on the day of rest, he invited Xun Bao and Xiahoumen to have a banquet at home.

In the scorching summer, the scorching sun is on the head, and the streets of Luoyang are like flowing fires. Xun Bao and Xiahoumen came by calf, although there was a carport and a curtain to cover them, they were still too hot. They took off their thin shirts as they walked, and as soon as they entered the door, they shouted: "This day, is it going to be on fire?" But as soon as he stepped into the house, he involuntarily put on his half-stripped thin shirt again, "Wow, why is it so cold, Brother Biyu, has the scorching sun spared your house?" ”

Biyu sat on the couch and said with a smile: "The sun is high above, shining on the earth, if you talk about heaven and earth, the fairest thing is the sun, no matter the cold winter or summer, and no matter whether people are noble or low, good or evil, they are all treated equally, how can you have a tendency?" The sun above my head is the same as in other homes, but my house is different from others. ”

Both are from wealthy families, and Xiahoumen and Xun Bao also have a lot of measures to cool off the heat at home, but they are not as cool as the Shi family. They looked around the house and saw a tall plane tree in front of the window that blocked half of the sunlight from the window, and the huge shade of the tree was like a giant umbrella, making a protective layer for the roof. The room itself is tall and spacious, with sheer curtains on the windows. Of course, this is not enough to make this room as cool as autumn, the most important thing is that there is a large bronze ice book on the middle of the ground, the ice is placed in the ice box, and the cold air is bubbling loudly, and there is a large wooden wheel on the east side of the case, and there are five handles inserted in the wooden wheel, and a pu fan is tied to each handle, and a servant turns the wooden wheel, and the air flow surges, spreading the cold air in the ice book all over the room.

"Wonderful, wonderful." The two were full of praise and amazement.

There are three couches around the cases, and the couches are covered with bamboo mats. The three of them sat down, and Ah Miao and Ah Yan stood beside them. Since Xun Bao and Xiahou Men are frequent visitors and juniors, the three of them are often only in Shi Biyu's room and do not alarm Shi Hui and his wife. There is no need to prepare too many dishes in the kitchen, but there are also roast lamb shanks, roast suckling pigs, stewed venison, chicken, fish, quail, etc., as well as all kinds of seasonal melons and fruits.
