Chapter 397: Tell but Don't Do?
In the end, Zhu Er and Lao Xianyu still didn't achieve the achievement of Ah Liu's mouth, so they could only reluctantly take the piece of paper handed by Ah Liu, and both went to Zhu Er's room next door to discuss how to intercrop the method.
One is responsible for providing seeds, and may have to go overseas in the future, and the other is responsible for guiding the planting method, and plans to achieve the achievements of a good farmer in the future.
And Ah Liu sent these two people, and then returned to Zhang Shou's house. He swooped up the big tree beside the house, and landed peacefully on the trunk of the tree in three or two strokes, and sat down as he always did, with a peach in his hand at some point. He easily peeled the skin, threw the peel on the tree first, and turned a knife in his right hand to peel off the peach flesh piece by piece and put it into his mouth.
Ah Liu thought while eating, there was a peach tree on the mountain behind the village in the past, and the fruit was a peach not a peach...... Zhang Shou didn't like it, because when he was a child, he only ate the peach sent by the Zhao Guogong Mansion, and claimed that he would never eat the peach. Later, Zhang Shou's health gradually improved, and he also claimed to prefer peaches that melt in the mouth with water.
It's just that when there is no other fruit except the peach, Zhang Shou had to reluctantly agree to eat two bites of peach, but the premise is ...... He peeled and sliced it with his hands.
To be honest, Zhang Shou doesn't pick anything, but that mouth is really picky! But once raw and twice ripe, he has become accustomed to peeling from oranges to pears, from grapes to lychees, peeling the skin that should be peeled, and slicing the slices, just because Zhang Shou felt uncomfortable touching the juice in his hands. Even later in the greasy kitchen, he never saw Zhang Shou so picky......
However, the slices have been cut a lot, once raw and twice cooked, his knife skills are getting better and better, and occasionally he can help Zhang Shou cut a cucumber shreds or something...... I don't know why Zhang Shou doesn't practice martial arts much, why he is quite good at cutting vegetables......
However, he didn't even mention to Zhu Ying that Zhang Shou likes peaches. I don't know what kind of luck this guest is today, but he can do what he likes!
In the room, a plate of peaches stacked on large porcelain plates is placed on the high cabinet in the corner, all of them are as big as bowls, round and smooth, their red as charcoal, fragrant, and bring a natural fragrance to this non-incense room.
However, this kind of treatment of directly taking out the gifts brought by the guests and putting them in a conspicuous position made the guests a little nervous, at least since he entered the house, he has not stopped wiping his sweat.
At this moment, he wiped the beads of sweat dripping from his forehead again, glanced at Zhang Shou's smooth and sweat-free forehead with envy, and then said with a smile: "I am fat, I love to sweat, I can't compare to Dr. Zhang, your heart is calm and naturally cool......"
I'm not talented, where does this hot day come from, I stay in the house where the green brick is paved, and the well water is splashed on the ground early in the morning, plus you have just eaten the watermelon with the well water before you came, and the whole body is cool, how can you compare with you, the guest who came in from outside to visit under the big sun?
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but he didn't mean to make fun of the big fat man of the shopkeeper Hua. He sat calmly and calmly, bowed his head slightly, and said: "Shopkeeper Hua, you didn't have time to take a breath as soon as you came in and said so many words, if the heat is unbearable at this time, why don't I ask Ah Liu to ask the kitchen to send a bowl of chilled mung bean soup?" ”
"No, no, no, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Shopkeeper Hua quickly shook his head into a rattle, and then wiped his sweat again, and then asked flatteringly, "I don't know what I just said, what do you think, Dr. Zhang?" There are too many dilapidated places inside and outside Cangzhou City, and the head of the family happens to be on Huai'an's side these days, and he has replied, saying that he is willing to contact Suzhou businessmen to do their best to help! ”
Even if he is not a magistrate, but if he can make the local appearance look new, the people of Cangzhou's respect for Zhang Shou will certainly rise to a new height.
Raising his hand to signal that Shopkeeper Hua didn't have to continue, Zhang Shou said lightly: "Shopkeeper Hua, I understand your thoughts." But now that General Zhu and I are being vigorously attacked in the DPRK and China, and any proposal we put forward is maliciously speculated, this matter is not so easy. I have already sent him back to the businessman over there in Luzhou, and I don't want to be poked in the back in the future and said that he is asking for fame. ”
"Dr. Zhang, that's not what you said! Such a big thing should indeed be done slowly, but with all due respect, the DPRK and China are already procrastinating, and if you add those people with ulterior motives who fight against each other, then a good thing will drag on for ten or eight years, or even drag it out, then there will be some people! ”
The shopkeeper Hua suddenly changed color, and he was obese, but Huo Ran stood up, this time he couldn't care about sweating profusely, waving his arms while expressing the greatest anger.
"Dr. Zhang, you and General Zhu have come to Cangzhou this time to eliminate corrupt officials, punish bullies, control corrupt officials, and take care of the good people, and they have done a good enough.
The shopkeeper Hua didn't care about his words, and he swept the first boss of the dynasty into it, anyway, the one who delayed the revival plan of Suzhou businessmen was a traitor! Jiang Ge has always helped those Fujian businessmen in the past, and he has made a stumbling block for officials from Suzhou!
Seeing Zhang Shou's brows furrowed, he took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Dr. Zhang, we will definitely not cause you trouble!" Although the head of the family sent me a letter quickly, saying that he was fully supportive, and the reply of the Suzhou family was not so fast, but our Hua family has always been vigorous and resolute, and the head of the family has the same thoughts as several deacons, and no one will hold back! ”
"And over there in the capital, I'll go there myself. To tell the truth, this Hua's Silk Village in Cangzhou is not under my control, and this store in Cangzhou, that is, the distribution of goods to Hejian Mansion, in the past, a random shopkeeper was enough. I passed through Cangzhou and heard about the names of General Zhu and Dr. Zhang, so I deliberately stayed for a few days to see the two of them. Originally, I was going to the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce in Beijing to take up the post of leader. ”
That day, Xiao Peanut came to report to Zhihua that the shopkeeper sent Master Bi to the county office, and Zhang Shou felt that the big shopkeeper of the silk village did not seem to be as simple as he imagined. Now that he heard that he was just passing through Cangzhou and was going to the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce in the capital to take office, he felt that this made sense, and he smiled at the moment.
"The shopkeeper Hua is so bold and courageous, it turns out that he is the new head of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce in Beijing, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful. I was thinking before, with a talent like you, how can you be confined to Cangzhou? ”
"I don't dare to be such a praise as Dr. Zhang, like me, who grabs a lot of talent in Suzhou?" The mouth is humble, but the sedan chair is carried by everyone, and is praised by Zhang Shou like this, the shopkeeper Hua is naturally still a little proud.
As if he got carried away, he said murderously: "If anyone can't get along with the emperor and Dr. Zhang and General Zhu, then they are the mortal enemies of our Suzhou people!" ”
"Those guys in the capital who don't say what they say, it's time to step down and get out!"
Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment - but not to do it? That doesn't seem right here, right? Is that what the Analects mean? Wait, isn't this person in front of you a synonym for just saying it and not doing it?
And the shopkeeper Hua didn't seem to notice his slip of the tongue at all, and solemnly arched his hand to Zhang Shouyi and said: "Dr. Zhang has worked hard for the long-term peace and stability of Cangzhou, and I, a businessman, can only run errands and do some chores." I just came here in disguise, and I was afraid that the news would spread out and cause you trouble, so I pretended to be a citizen of Cangzhou and sent you a few Linyi peaches, which was not a respect. ”
Seeing Zhang Shou smiling and waving his hand to signal that he didn't need to explain any more, he was embarrassed to owe again and said, "All in all, I am one step ahead of the capital, and I also ask Dr. Zhang to relax, although he is waiting for my good news in Cangzhou." Humanity is no treacherous business, no business is not treacherous, and it is not early to say that there is no profit, but since the interests are the same, we naturally will not talk about it like those old masters. ”
Until the shopkeeper Hua said goodbye, Zhang Shou pondered the statement again without making four words, and he was still a little crying and laughing. But after he took a thoughtful sip of tea, and tasted the conditions of the Suzhou merchants who assisted the construction of Cangzhou put forward by the shopkeeper Xiantouhua, as well as the initial resoluteness in the matter of Master Bi, he couldn't help but rub his chin thoughtfully.
Although he said that he did not participate in the imperial examination, he also knew that the place of Nanzhili was the important place of the imperial examination, and Suzhou was the most important place among the important places, even if the Hua family was the richest businessman, it would not be that the important children of the family did not study, right? Even if you don't read all the four books and the five classics, you should have read the Analects, right? Even if you can't memorize all the Analects, you should always understand the meaning of saying but not doing, right?
This Hua shopkeeper is so shallow that he uses the wrong idiom?
"Say but don't do, believe and be good ......"
Zhang Shou muttered to himself the original sentence in the Analects, and suddenly laughed.
The original meaning of the statement without doing it is to only describe and expound the doctrines of the ancients, without adding one's own thoughts. It seems that Confucius is indeed expounding the doctrine of the sages, without his own writings, and there is no private goods to talk about, but as long as people who can think know that it is not the same thing at all!
How did Spring and Autumn penmanship come about? Why is there only 300 poems left in the Book of Songs? Confucius's edited classics, does anyone still know what they are today? If we look at the standard of destroying the book of the "Siku Quanshu" that was condemned by later generations, in fact, the so-called classics were destroyed by Confucius and his old man once in the Spring and Autumn Period......
I'm afraid that the voice of the shopkeeper Hua is that those guys in the court who are dead to the ancient law ancestral system are just using the ghost of the ancient law ancestral system to hold their endless private goods and force others to accept them!
Thinking about it in his heart, Zhang Shou couldn't help but smile, and he didn't bother to think about whether he was thinking about things too complicated, in fact, the shopkeeper Hua was a non-reader. He yawned and shouted, "Ah Liu, everyone is gone, don't stay outside, come in, let's share peaches to eat, you are half and I am half!" ”
After a while, he saw the curtain of the door lifted, but it was Ah Liu who came in, but he still threw a smooth peach pit in his hand. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned: "When did you take it?" "This kid actually ate it without saying a word!
"I took it when I was arranging it." Ah Liu didn't have the consciousness of stealing food at all, but showed the knife in his hand, and then said seriously, "I'll eat one first to try the poison." ”
Zhang Shou was almost amused by this kid's troubled cold jokes, glared at him and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, old rules, I don't want to eat peach juice in one hand, you go wash a few peaches and slice them first." Let's add two to five, you and I will take advantage of you! ”
said that you don't take advantage of me, you have a piece of me, when do you eat until the end of the day, you don't cheat, you have to have one more piece to stop? Ah Liu thought so in his heart, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but gradually curle. When he arrived at the porcelain plate, he pinched it with his hand, selected a few of the softest and ripeest peaches, and took a white porcelain plate to hold it, and scooped the well water outside to clean it, but he was much more serious than the one he had eaten before.
When the fluff on the peel was roughly washed, he cleaned his hands again, then peeled them one by one, threw them aside, and put them on a plate with a knife one by one, and then inserted the bamboo skewers.
However, when he washed his hands again and was just about to send it in with the huge porcelain plate, Zhu Er and the old salted fish went and returned. The two of them saw the tempting pieces of peach flesh in the porcelain plate, Zhu Er's eyes immediately widened, and he shouted, "Sixth brother, how do you know that my throat is about to smoke?" Great, I've wanted to eat peaches for a long time! ”
Ah Liuyi flashed and directly made Zhu Er pounce, but he ignored Zhu Er, who was stunned after standing firmly, and turned straight into the room. Zhu Er was too lazy to look at the old salted fish's expression of smiling, and slammed into the door curtain in three steps and two steps and rushed into the house, only to see that Ah Liu was already standing in front of Zhang Shou, and Zhang Shou used a bamboo skewer to fork a piece of soft and juicy peach flesh and put it into his mouth.
At that moment, he could even hear the sound of himself swallowing his saliva - even if he had never eaten all kinds of fresh melons and fruits in the capital, he was just half-truths and half-truths, but at this time, he was really thirsty.
Sensing his gaze, Zhang Shou saw that Ah Liu didn't look at Zhu Er, and took care of a piece of the entrance, he pointed to the few remaining peaches in the porcelain plate next to him and said: "The guest who just came sent it, if you want to eat it, take the peaches out and wash them, peel them and eat them yourself, Ah Liu and I have this plate, don't make up your mind!" ”
When the old salted fish saw Zhu Er, he rushed over with joy, took two peaches and went out, he looked like a three-hundred-year-old starving ghost, and Zhang Shou and Ah Liu ate a plate of peach slices in a moment, as if he would grab it, he only felt that he was really eye-opening today.
It turned out that Ah Liu really took care of all the chores around Zhang Shou...... No wonder Little Peanut said last time that Ah Liu could even comb his hair! He had always been curious about why Ah Liu followed Zhang Shou, and now it seemed that this young man was like Zhang Shou's hand.
Zhang Shou looked at the surprised gaze of the old salted fish, but he didn't see it, and said unhurriedly: "You prepare all the seeds that should be prepared, and then hand over part of them to Second Brother Zhu." Brother Zhu has already told me that it is estimated that there will be a final punishment for Xian Yunhe in the capital in the next few days, and I will inevitably send the teacher back to Beijing at that time, so you can go together. ”
