Chapter 557: Convincing People with Virtue
The royal convoy of two-wheelers made a journey back to the Mayan Villa in Siberia.
The gate of this villa is flanked by a couplet. Shanglian: the way to build a country, etiquette is not yet power; Xialian: the fundamental picture, in the hearts of the people is not in the skills.
Ji Shengdian looked at it and smiled, "Who wrote this couplet?"
"Your Majesty," Ren said, nodding her head, "that's what your tenth sister wrote." ”
"Why did you write this couplet?"
"These students from my Great Heavenly Empire are currently living in this village to study. "In order to let them recognize the essence of foreigners' kitsch and lewd skills, not to be confused, and to stick to their hearts, it is necessary to put some thought-provoking warnings, and they often see them when they go in and out, which means that they will not be confused when they are always drunk by the morning bell and dusk drums and thunder sticks." ”
"Oh. Ji Shengdian looked at the students, "How do you feel now?"
"Back to Your Majesty. One student said with a sad face, "Do you want to listen to the truth or lie?"
Ren Xiaodie shouted, "Nonsense, of course it's to tell the truth!"
"Since I want to tell the truth, I will say it as it is...... At first, we thought that no matter how we looked at this couplet, it all spoke to our hearts. Later, after the study of mathematics, physics and chemistry gradually deepened, this couplet looked like a mockery, and kept slapping us in the face. ”
"Presumptuous!" Ren snapped, "You tech cult scum, do you think science is omnipotent? Do you think you can conquer people's hearts? Which of these seemingly powerful technological powers doesn't have revolutionary riots every day?"
"You're the one who wants us to tell the truth. ”
"No need to argue. Ji Shengdian waved his hand and smiled. "Cultural hegemony is also an important strength of the state, which is called soft power. ”
Fluttershy asked. "So what is hard power?"
"The development of science and technology, the prosperity of industry and agriculture. It's hard power. ”
"Hear no, soft power is the same as hard power, it is national strength. Ren Xiaodie scolded the students, "You see that people are strong, and you think that your culture is not good, this is not the same thing at all, you have no self-esteem!"
"If hard power is not good, it naturally means that culture is not good. ”
"Nonsense, the current situation in the world. Tianzhu is also very declining, Dongying is also declining, and Goryeo, Jiaozhi or something are all very declining, far inferior to the status of the Celestial Empire. But people are very proud of their own culture, and their cultural heritage cannot be compared with the Celestial Empire, and some are even just our branches. ”
Ji Shengdian said with a smile, "Of course, hard power must catch up, and your own culture does not have to be abandoned. If it feels a little out of place, then keep up with the times and modernize. ”
"That's, that's. Ren Xiaodie praised without words. "The third sister really has a clear vision and has pointed out an unshakable basic line for the next 100 years. ”
"It seems to me that this couplet could have been added with a horizontal bar. ”
"Great. Ren clapped her hands vigorously. "Someone, Mobao is waiting. ”
His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven lifted his pen. Wrote four majestic, majestic and heroic characters: Serve people with virtue!
After entering the manor, Ren sees Sarah coming to greet her. Hurriedly asked, "What about the tenth sister?"
Sarah was inexplicable, "Tenth sister?"
"Ahem, I'm asking where the groom is. Ren Xiaodie said angrily, "The bride has arrived, why didn't he greet him at the door?"
"Well, the owner is in the kitchen. ”
"I'll go! What is he doing there?"
"Naturally, it's preparing a big meal. ”
Ren Xiaodie was dumbfounded, "He's the protagonist of today's wedding, do you want him to tease you this time...... Uh, what the hell is he preparing?"
"Full Han banquet. ”
"No, that's called Kyushu Quanxi!"
During the reign of the Manchu Dynasty, there was a set of feasts in the court that gathered the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and gathered the essence of the world's cuisines, which was called "Manchu and Han Banquets". However, after the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, it was naturally impossible to continue to use this name, so it was decisively changed to "Kyushu Quanxi".
This British land, thousands of miles away from the Celestial Empire, naturally could not find a Chinese chef who could do the full banquet in Kyushu, and it was understandable that the Marquis would go out in person, but-
"Can he do it alone, don't be kidding!" Ren snapped back to her senses, her face full of disbelief.
Sarah asked curiously, "Why can't you make it, are these dishes so hard to make?"
"You don't know anything. Ren Xiaodie sighed, "There is a difference between the small and large seats in the Kyushu banquet, and there are thirty-six Tiangang dishes and seventy-two earthly dishes in the small banquet, a total of one hundred and eight dishes. On the basis of the small banquet, there are also 365 dishes of New Year's dishes, of which dozens of seasons are also the most important......"
"There are so many dishes?" said Sarah, who was also taken aback.
"So what he wants to do must be impossible for the Kyushu full seat. ”
"Fluttershy. Ji Shengdian suddenly spoke, "Before you came to the UK, did you taste the Kyushu full banquet made by your fifth sister in China?"
The fifth master is a person who enjoys it, likes to make famous horses, listen to good songs, drink spirits, and taste food. The fifth master is also an anxious child, and he often can't wait for others to do it slowly, so he simply does it first. Therefore, the fifth master has long been a good wine brewed and a good dish.
What is especially commendable is that the fifth master also sings a good song, holding a bunch of face masks in his hand to change them, and he can finish singing each role by himself. Back then, the fifth master still pulled the tenth sister to sing "Farewell My Concubine", as for who is the overlord and who is Yu Ji, there is no need to guess.
According to the reason of the fifth master, "Xiaoyue, according to folklore, Concubine Yu's sister's name is called Yu Xiaoyue, maybe it is your past life, who will sing if you don't sing?"
Ren Xiaodie remembered the past and immediately said, "Fifth brother often makes a full banquet in Kyushu for the middle brothers during the New Year's holidays, and he can do it all in one day." ”
"In that case, why should you doubt Little Sword?"
"The third sister, the tenth sister and the fifth brother are not comparable. ”
"Then you'd be wrong. Ji Shengdian smiled faintly, "Xiao Jian's current skill cultivation is already above the fifth brother in your memory. ”
Ren Xiaodie's eyes widened, "Tenth brother actually ...... Ah no, is the tenth sister so powerful?"
Ji Shengdian smiled and asked Sarah, "Where is the kitchen, I'll also go and help." ”
"I can't help it, Third Sister!" Ren Xiaodie was so anxious that she hurriedly stopped, "Tenth Sister is willing to drill into the kitchen for him to drill, you are a dignified bride...... That, the dignified Emperor of Heaven, is in charge of the Heavenly Dao, how can he condescend to fiddle with the stove of the desk?"
"Fluttershy, you're wrong. ”
"How did I go wrong?"
"It is a matter of course for the newlyweds to get married and entertain their relatives and friends at a feast. Ji Shengdian said calmly, "If you have the conditions, you can also use servants to buy or buy them, you don't have to do it yourself." But this is not moving, it is possible not to move, not to be still. Xiaojian and I prepared the Kyushu full banquet together, which is naturally justified. ”
"But ......"
"I see. "Fluttershy doesn't want to eat my food at all." ”
"How can there be such a thing!" Ren Xiaodie panicked, "Wechen can taste a bite of the immortal delicacies made by the Holy Master's own hand, even if he ascends, he won't change it." (To be continued.) )
