Li Sikui, who was sitting at the dining table eating, looked at Xu He on the side, obviously still a little unconvinced.

But Xu He likes to look at this guy with an expression that I don't like you, but I can't kill you.

In addition, the Li family's breakfast was quite rich, and he was in a good mood and had a good appetite, and he never broke a smile on his face during a meal.

After eating, they took the tea cup handed by the next person, rinsed their mouths, and took a sip of new tea.

Xu He sat comfortably in his chair and wanted to hum twice.

No way, the Li family's breakfast is too rich.

Although it is also porridge, can longan and red date porridge be compared with the clear soup and low water in Fuxue?

In addition, there are lard osmanthus cakes and cave plum buns in the morning.

Needless to say, osmanthus cake is noisy and delicious, and it is full of the taste of osmanthus honey in one bite, plus the sweetness of lard, not to mention how delicious it is.

And the cave plum blossom bun, this is actually a Kaifeng specialty, and no one may know what this name is.

But when it comes to soup dumplings, it's definitely known to everyone.

Xiaolongbaozi was originally known as soup dumplings, commonly known as soup dumplings.

It has been sold in the market of Tokyo, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and is one of the 72 main stores at that time, Wang Lou's famous product, called the cave plum blossom bun, known as "the first in Beijing".

After the Northern Song Dynasty moved south, this dish was spread to Lin'an (now Hangzhou), also known as grouting steamed buns, which was a famous market snack at that time.

In the 40s of the 20th century, Huang Jishan, the shopkeeper on the first floor of Kaifeng and the famous master of steamed buns, changed the large cage steaming system to the small long steaming system, and even the cage was served on the table, which was originally called the small cage soup dumplings.

On the first floor, the small soup dumplings are made of exquisite materials and unique production, with their thin skin and large filling, filling soup and oil, soft and fresh flavor characteristics, as well as lifting like "lanterns" and putting down the shape of "chrysanthemums" and making people pour, which is regarded as "a must in Zhongzhou cuisine".

This kind of food has spread in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Jinling and Yangzhou.

But this thing is not something that ordinary people can afford.

The Li family has been eunuchs for generations, so they can naturally afford to eat this kind of food, and ordinary people have never even seen it in these years.

As the name suggests, soup dumplings are soup in the buns, which is because the pork skin jelly is added to the meat filling.

This kind of bun pays attention to freshly wrapped, steamed, and eaten.

Therefore, if you have never eaten it, you will be scalded off by the skin soup in the bun.

Li Sikui saw the soup dumplings on the table, and he still wanted to see Xu He embarrassed.

I saw him gently lift the folds of the soup dumplings with the tips of chopsticks, and then slowly move to a small porcelain dish filled with vinegar, and then bite off the thin skin on the outside of the stomach of the soup dumplings, and a cool breeze blows into the soup dumplings, and finally drink the soup and eat the dumplings in one go.

That action is not at all something that a first-time soup dumpling person can do.

Even Li Zhijie was surprised: "Liangsheng used to eat soup dumplings? ”

Xu He smiled: "I've eaten it, but I don't eat it often!" ”

Li Sikui was completely convinced this time.

This senior brother named Xu He seems to know everything and everything, and nothing can be difficult for him.

Well, following this senior brother honestly these days, it won't be too boring!

After eating tea, Li Zhijie said: "Since the beginning of the summer, the lake water in the Gaojiayan area of Huai'an Prefecture has skyrocketed, and the area of Shanyang County has been frightened several times a day, and the embankment has hung flags, hung lights, and sounded gongs day and night, and the people on the embankment have also moved to higher places just in case. I Yangzhou Gaoyou, Xinghua area of low-lying terrain, for the teacher is worried that once the Gaojiayan burst, the water will instantly flood the Xinghua area, so, these days for the division and Peng Zhifu to discuss, ready for the division to sit in Xinghua, just in case, so I called Liangsheng to help me look at this uneasy thing! ”

Xu He said with concern when he heard this: "Teacher, is the situation so serious?" ”

Gaojiayan sets up two water steles and the lake, respectively, the left water stele and the right water stele, the left water stele records the highest water level in the past years, and the right water stele records the highest water level in each decade and month of the year. At present, the water level is higher than the highest place since the county records were recorded! ”

The water rule, also known as the water chronicle, is the ancient water gauge, that is, the ancient observation of the water level.

The "rule" in "water rules" means "guidelines", which is usually one rule per city foot, also known as a stroke.

The stele engraved with the water ruler is the water stele. The water stele is usually erected in the key part of the canal, and its function is to observe the change of water level, and is used to measure the water level, so as to achieve the purpose of flood prevention, and at the same time as the basis for agricultural irrigation and water distribution in the irrigation area.

Li Zhijie said that it exceeded the highest level since the county records began, that is, Gaojiayan was at risk of bursting at any time.

To the east and south of Gaojiayan is the low-lying Lixiahe area, where once there is a big flood, Xinghua and other counties will immediately become a Ze country.

The key is that Wu Xingbang, the third assistant in the cabinet, is a native of Xinghua, and if Xinghua is flooded and there are casualties, it will definitely be difficult for the court to explain.

Xu He also realized the importance of the matter, so he nodded and said, "The teacher should also pay attention to safety when he goes!" My brother is here, you can rest assured! ”

Li Zhijie counted Hailing's post, and it was only half a year after he took office in Nanzhi, and the people in this place are not very familiar.

At this time, the only one who can rely on is his disciple Xu He.

The teacher-student relationship in this era is not in later generations.

Xu He recognized Li Zhijie as a teacher, and a close relationship between teachers and students was established that could be entrusted to their families.

Li Zhijie took a fancy to Xu He's good learning, knowledge of advance and retreat, and maturity of mind at that time, so he made an exception to pilot him as the head of the case in the county, and through Hu Xiancheng's words, he recognized this disciple, and then introduced his connections to Xu He.

For example, his friend, the emperor's brother-in-law Xie Kun Xie Ziyu.

As for Xu He, what he has to do now is to repay the favor and support the teacher in his career, so that he doesn't have to be distracted by this matter at home.

After breakfast, Li Zhijie didn't stay long, he was going to rush to Xinghua County for flood control with the officials of the general judgment yamen today.

After the teacher left, Xu He looked at the backyard of the Yamen, although it was good, it was not as comfortable as his own home.

So he said to Li Sikui: "Senior brother, senior brother will take you to my house to live for a few days!" ”

Li Sikui has a childlike nature, although he is like a little adult, he has read a lot of books, but it is still fun after all.

Hearing this, his eyes lit up, but he didn't want to lose face in front of his senior brother, so he pretended to be reluctant: "It's okay, it's just that I'm tired of reading these days, and I'll go to my brother's house for a few days!" ”

What's the matter, this little kid can't die if he doesn't pretend to be forced?

Helplessly, Xu He asked someone to pack up some clothes for this junior brother, and led him to live in the courtyard sent by Shen Xuan by the Slender West Lake.

When he arrived at the other courtyard, Ding Ze was pleasantly surprised when he saw Xu He, and hurriedly took the burden in his hand and complained: "When the son comes back, you don't ask someone to bring a message so that I can pick it up!" ”

Xu He smiled bitterly, he had just received a notice, was it okay to be in a hurry.

At this time, Juan'er heard the movement and came out to say goodbye, and when she saw that Xu He was also bringing a child, she was immediately surprised and said: "Childe, this is your ......"

Xu He was startled, and before he could refute, Li Sikui said disdainfully with his hands behind his back: "A woman has long hair and short knowledge, how could my senior brother give birth to a smart person like me?" ”

Ding Ze: "......"

Juan'er: "......"

Xu He was helpless, a popper knocked on the door of this little guy's head, put up with you for a long time, okay! Your family is still so arrogant when you are not there.

Li Sikui touched his head in disbelief and looked at his senior brother miserably.

Xu He glanced at him: "I'm in charge of my territory, M-Zone!" Got it? ”
