Chapter 19 The Chef of the Flower Teapot
Guanyin Temple Hutong, an exquisite house with the charm of the south of the Yangtze River. Wang Wuyang and Hua Shuyang are visiting their predecessors Wang Xijue.
Wang Xijue is also from Taicang, but he is not of the same clan as Wang Wuyang. The latter is the Langya Wang clan, and the former is the Taiyuan Wang clan.
Wang Shizhen's family is a scholarly family and has been hairpins for generations, but the family property is not as rich as Wang Xijue's family. Wang Xijue's family has been in business for generations and can be described as the richest man in Taicang, but there has never been an official in the family, so in terms of prestige and status, it has always been far inferior to the latter.
But when it came to this generation, I didn't know what green smoke came out of the ancestral tomb of the Taiyuan Wang family. Wang Xijue actually served as the Huiyuan and Bangyan of Jiajing for 41 years, and now he is a lecturer at a young age, and he teaches today's son, which can be described as an infinitely bright future.
Not only Wang Xijue, but even his younger brother Wang Dingjue also won the promotion, and he also wants to participate in next year's Spring Festival.
With the temper of the leader of the Wang League, the relationship between the two families has warmed up suddenly, and it is like a family.
Today, Wang Xijue specially took leave from the Hanlin Academy, and personally renovated a table of good dishes at home to entertain the two juniors...... In fact, Wang Xijue is only in his early thirties, not a few years older than Wang Wuyang, but there is no way, who will let the family and Wang Shizhen intersect, Wang Wuyang can only obediently call Uncle Shi.
Although Zi said that 'the gentleman cooks far away', China has always had the tradition of 'literati cuisine'. is like Su Dongpo, Lu Fangweng are all masters in this, although Wang Xijue is a Hanlin Qingliu, he doesn't realize that he cooks himself and cooks a few unique dishes, which is a shameful thing.
After all, it is an elegant thing for cultural people to go to the Qinglou, let alone the kitchen......
Regardless of whether Lao Wang had been to the Qinglou or not, he devoted a lot of time to studying his cooking skills, and when he had time, he called friends and personally cooked to entertain a group of colleagues of the same year. Therefore, in the clear stream, his popularity is simply not like a clear stream.
"Come, try the pheasant soup I restored," Wang Xijue beckoned, and placed a steaming white porcelain soup pot on the dining table. "Is there a level of extreme freshness in your master's family?"
His younger brother Wang Dingjue scooped two bowls and tasted them for the two juniors: "My brother is a chef alive, he shouldn't stay in Hanlin Academy, he should go to Guanglu Temple to cook." ”
"The article of the Hanlin Academy, the tea soup of Guanglu Temple......" Eryang remembered the 'four no' he heard the day before yesterday, and couldn't help but secretly laugh. In that case, Uncle Wang Shishu will be able to account for half of the four.
However, as soon as the two of them tasted the pheasant soup made by Wang Xijue, their eyes lit up and they praised: "It's time to catch up with the taste!" ”
"Oh, haha, really?" Wang Xijue was overjoyed when he heard this. In the past six months, the reputation of the taste of the extreme fresh has spread to Beijing, and some officials will even make a special detour to Jinling when they go south to taste the taste of the '12th floor in the south of the Yangtze River', how fresh it is.
Of course, it is unknown what to do after tasting it......
Saying that, Wang Xijue said with some regret: "It's a pity that your teacher is in Jinling, otherwise you can ask him for a lesson or two." ”
"The tutor also came to Beijing this time." Wang Wuyang replied with a smile.
"Oh, really? Why didn't you invite him along? Wang Xijue was overjoyed when he heard this: "I really want to see it, I heard that your teacher not only cooks well, but also writes a good poem, and is the leader of the new generation of Fengyue in Qinhuaihe!" ”
When Eryang heard this, he said that he had finally seen it today, what is it called to spread falsehood. The master is obviously an innocent young man who has never even touched a woman's hand, but when he reached Beijing, he became a veteran of the flowers......
"Big brother, you didn't send out an invitation, how embarrassing is it for people to come to the door rashly?" The two were just about to correct their master's name, but they heard Wang Dingjue smile bitterly and repair their brother. The brothers have had an excellent relationship since childhood, and they are in front of their juniors, so they naturally have something to say.
Saying that, Wang Dingjue complained to Eryang again: "My eldest brother is like this, thinking that one is the other, and he doesn't consider whether it is suitable or not." ”
After a pause, he complained again: "It's like today, he has to pull Shen Zhuangyuan to accompany him." I don't want to think about it, people don't have to avoid it today, maybe they will be called examiners, this is not just to make trouble for everyone. ”
When Eryang heard it, he thought it was true. Most of the examiners of this dynasty's Chun Yu room were selected from Hanlin, and Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing were just the right seniority, and they were indeed very likely to be selected. However, because the former has his own brother participating in the entrance examination, even if he is selected, he must resign according to the principle of recusal.
That's why the two of them came to meet with confidence and boldness.
Otherwise, in the future, if someone makes a bad mistake and charges everyone with a private meeting examiner, it will be a big trouble.
"Hey, Ru Mo is just too cautious, and you are the same, you don't have any taste for life." Wang Xijue glanced at his younger brother and said, "It's just a meal, what's the big deal." ”
"Tang Yin thought the same way at the beginning......" Wang Dingjue said quietly.
"Your brother and I are such a rough person, and we haven't come over safely? There are so many bad lucks. Wang Xijue pouted, in fact, he also realized that it was indeed inappropriate for him to accompany him. But he is straightforward and casual, he has always been like this, and he can't change it if he wants to, so he put a chopstick orange juice pork ribs into his brother's mouth and said: ""Eat vegetables and eat vegetables, I can't stop your mouth." ”
Seeing this, the two juniors didn't want to say more, so they also enjoyed the food.
~~
Four meat and four vegetables, eight dishes and one soup, and the four people ate cleanly.
Only then did Eryang rub his round belly and said to Wang Xijue: "The family teacher is young and has his hair tied, and he has not yet reached the age of entering and leaving the land of fireworks. ”
"Yes, Uncle Shi, if someone spreads it in the future, please clarify it on your behalf, and don't tarnish my master's reputation." Wang Wuyang nodded, and said with a serious face: "Otherwise, we will definitely investigate to the end!" ”
"Oh, yes, hahaha......" Wang Xijue touched the back of his head in embarrassment and said: "I read the poems on the "First Sight Collection", and I thought that the respected teacher had to be at least forty years old, but I didn't expect to be fourteen or fifteen years old......."
"yes." This time, Wang Dingjue didn't scold his brother, because he was also so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth and said: "How did he write such a masterpiece with rich emotions and vicissitudes of mood?" ”
When Eryang heard this, he was honored, held his head high, and said in unison: "The so-called genius of the world is really heavenly, the family teacher is a genius among geniuses, born with profound and vast talents, beyond the knowledge of ancient and modern times, it is not surprising to write any poems!" ”
"Heh......" Brother Wang Xijue couldn't help but gasp, and said in his heart that these two children had joined a cult, right? Why should the first two people in Tianxiang be brainwashed so easily?
Hey, that's a shame.
"There are only ancient sages who can be compared with family teachers, even Zhu Zi Chengzi is not worthy!" Seeing the two of them showing disapproving expressions, Hua Shuyang was very angry.
Wang Wuyang pulled him and told him not to argue with his tongue, then took out the geometry book from his sleeve, presented it to Wang Xijue with both hands and said: "If you don't believe it, please read this book, if after reading it, you still don't recognize the family teacher and the pedantic celestial, then please return it to us." ”
After a pause, he said: "If the two of you agree, then ask Uncle Shi to help us print a thousand copies, and we will preach for the teacher!" ”
Ps. Throughout Wang Xijue's life, the two ridiculous big heels he planted were all related to his lack of rigor in doing things and making low-level mistakes at critical moments. But among the first assistants of the past dynasties, I still like Wang Xijue the most. Well, natal life.
PS2.The fourth update, 2600 votes plus more delivered to ...... Well, I think it's pretty well written.
