Seeing that Wang Pu's shop had been cleaned up, Du Zhongxiao said, "Are you ready to entertain guests here?" How about I eat a bowl of noodles? ”

Wang Pu hurriedly said: "Xianggong said so, how can the little one afford it?" Please come inside, and the small one will have a glass of wine. ”

Du Zhongxiao entered the store with his entourage, Wang Pu led it, brought a pavilion near the window on the second floor, deliberately wiped the tables and chairs again, and said: "This place is facing the gate of the shopping mall over there, the officials sit here and wait for a while, and they will come in a while." ”

After speaking, Wang Pu took the little servant and ran downstairs quickly. After a while, all kinds of dishes came up and a whole table was set. Wang Pu took another pot of wine and put it in the ice bucket on the side, and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Today is the first day of opening, the small one specially bought ice, I heard that it is best to drink like this." Xianggong has a drink. ”

As he spoke, he poured wine for Du Zhongxiao.

Du Zhongxiao thanked him and said to Wang Pu: "I don't want you to have a second-floor pavilion here, it's not a small shop." ”

Wang Pu said: "These are all second-floor shops, so naturally we have to do business on the second floor." Those big restaurants have gardens and gardens, how can they be compared to a small place like me? Small business, just looking forward to a few more customers. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded, pointed to the table and said, "You and me, how can you eat so many dishes?" ”

Where did Wang Pu dare to drink and eat at the same table with Du Zhongxiao? kept refusing, Du Zhongxiao forced him to stay, and then sat down opposite, thanking him a thousand times. Said: "Today's small first day of business, Xianggong just came to the door, a good sign." These dishes are small in the store and feel distinctive, so they can taste them. ”

Du Zhongxiao looked at the dishes on the table, either large pieces of meat, or large pieces of meat with bones and bones, and a big bowl of broth. The only vegetarian dish is a plate of braised tofu. Not to mention seasonal vegetables, there are no green onions in the soup.

After watching it for a while, Du Zhongxiao said to Wang Pu: "Outside, you have a lot of vegetables and meat, which shows your intentions, but why are there no vegetables?" This season is the time when there is no shortage of vegetables, you have meat here, such a hot weather, how can people eat? ”

Wang Pu said: "Don't panic, we still have good fruits here, and we will come up later." ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled and shook his head: "Outside, business is not like this. Let me tell you, if you eat too much greasy meat, you must have a greasy dish here. If not, no matter how hard you do it, others come to your store to eat a belly full of meat, and the smell is unpleasant, how can you come next time? ”

Wang Pu said: "But when I was in Tanglong Town, I saw the noodle restaurant next to me like this. The smooth noodles are served in a large bowl of broth and topped with several large pieces of meat, which is really tempting. I use more ingredients here, and the meat on the noodles is bigger. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "You watched others do that, and you did it yourself, but you only got the appearance and lost your charm." Let me tell you, the soup used to serve noodles is knowledgeable. A soup that is not greasy, refreshing and refreshing, and eats the taste of noodles. One is the thick soup, which is extremely rich, and the soup is more important than the noodles. The former soup can have fewer dishes, and the latter soup has to add more vegetables. ”

Wang Pu listened, leaned forward, and asked, "Xianggong is really a learned person, it really makes sense." I don't know what dishes to add to the soup? The small ones only know how to use tea to relieve greasyness, but the dishes are eaten less. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Your shop is open all year round, of course, you have to use dishes that you have to have all year round." One is green onions, although they cannot be planted in winter, they can be hidden for the winter. There is also mung bean sprouts, which are not lacking in winter. In addition, crushed coriander should be added to it to enhance the fragrance. Leeks can be added in summer and changed to leeks in winter, both of which have aroma. With the addition of these things, no matter how rich the soup is, it doesn't feel greasy. ”

Wang Pu nodded again and again and wrote them down one by one. Next to the shopping mall, it is convenient to purchase, but I am not afraid of the ingredients used in the soup.

Du Zhongxiao pointed to the dish and said: "The dish you have here, a large piece of meat, and solid materials, is naturally good." It's just too monotonous, lacking vegetables and vegetables. For example, when boiling a large piece of meat, there should be cold vegetables next to it, so that it tastes good in your mouth. ”

Wang Pu said: "According to Xianggong, it is best to eat such meat, there should be cold dishes." But the cold dishes are small, and they can't be cooked! ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "It's not just that you can't do it, there is nothing in Shengzhou City that really knows how to do it." The one who is best at cooking cold dishes is actually a cook in the former army. In the past, when I was in Suizhou, the army would make all kinds of cold dishes and pickles to eat in winter when there were few dishes. ”

When Wang Pu heard this, he couldn't help but rejoice: "Since this is the case, it will be easy to do." A few days ago, next to my Zhuangzi, there were a few families who had been removed from the army. I heard that they didn't like Zhuangzi on Jingxi Road and were willing to stay on Hequ Road. One of them cooked when he was in the army! ”

"Is there such a thing? That's your blessing! Whether you ask him to help you or learn the craft of cooking from him, it's hard for you to lose money in this shop! "The old Yingtianxiang army was changed to a military number, and many soldiers were discharged, not all of them returned to Jingxi Road, and some stayed. For various reasons, they felt that it was better here, and brought their families to camp here. The Scripture gave them support and settled them in the vicinity of Shengzhou on more favorable terms than the general population.

In the era of the Yingtianxiang Army, the fire food was better than the forbidden army at this time. Not only is he willing to spend money, but he has also changed to a group meal system, and there are special cooks. These people have been trained and learned, and they may not be delicate, but at least the taste is not unpleasant. In particular, Du Zhongxiao focuses on promoting several colors, such as broth, pickles, buns, dumplings, etc., which are particularly good. With these things, Wang Pu's restaurant was opened.

This is not a high-end restaurant, as long as the taste is passable, the materials are solid, and the price is affordable, it is enough to survive. The real big restaurant, such as the Shengzhou official restaurant opposite, is marked by a garden, and the pavilion in the garden is a high-end place.

Wang Pu instructed the little guy to put on melons and fruits, make vegetables, and accompany Du Zhongxiao to drink and gossip.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Pu said to Du Zhongxiao: "Xianggong, even if I have seen the drama over there in Beijing, why not watch it again?" How lively it is to watch the play! It can relieve boredom again. The small one is that the store is really busy, otherwise I would have gone to see it. ”

Du Zhongxiao held the cup in his hand, was silent for a while, and said, "I don't want to watch it again, because you are just a spectator, and I am a person in the play." The person in the play, watching others play themselves, actually sees another person, what's the fun in watching? ”

Wang Pudao: "Is Xianggong talking about the glamorous section just played?" The small one looked at it from a distance, and couldn't see it clearly, but he felt that a few people were very lively. It turns out that the above is playing Xianggong, no wonder I can't stand it. ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "Of course they didn't play me above, they just had something to do with me." The battle of Hequ Road, expanding the land for thousands of miles, is an unprecedented victory, and this battle will spread among the people. Speaking of this battle, I can't think of it without mentioning me. ”

Wang Pu smiled when he heard this: "That's nature!" Xianggong is the marshal of Hequ Road, where he led the soldiers to fight down, who dared to insult him! ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Yes, I led the troops to fight it, and I know how it was defeated." But on the stage, it won't be like this. Actors will make up a story according to what they think they want, or what others want to see, and put a handsome minister into the story. The meandering road in that story should be a good person, with all kinds of appearances, but it shouldn't be what I am. ”

Wang Pu just laughed. Du Zhongxiao didn't bother to say more, and he couldn't understand it.

In fact, it's not just the stage, if this story is passed down, all kinds of themes will be like this. Even in the annals of history, it will be another story. It is not quite right to say that history is a little girl who can be dressed up, no matter how the little girl dresses up, she always has that innocence and beauty. A lot of recorded history is compared to a woman, not even a half-aged, the fat powder is thicker than the city wall, and it has long lost its original appearance.

In today's play, Du Zhongxiao looks uncomfortable. Of course, he won't blame anyone, that's the people's understanding of themselves, this army, and this battle. Times are changing, and they will naturally have another understanding.

Du Zhongxiao felt uncomfortable, because he suddenly realized that he had been moved to the stage of history as a character. This character has many faces and expressions, but the actor is not himself. On the stage of history, the meandering road is just a role, and various actors will perform various appearances. They will even draw various symbols on their faces, this time it will be a black face, next time it will be a white face, and it may be a flower face. In this way, the characters of history have been brought to the stage by all kinds of people and for various purposes, with symbols, and a big play.

Bao Zheng in front of the stage was put on the stage by later generations, and I don't know how many plays he has played, but he is the only one. If you want to talk about Bao Zheng, if you want to study him seriously, the first thing to say is that in fact, Bao Zheng in history is not what he looks like on the stage, in fact, how it is. However, in fact, what they said was just different from what they said on the stage, and it was still not Bao Zheng.

History is not a little girl, history has left one role after another on the stage, and it is up to future generations to dress up and comment. Some people act, some people watch, and some people comment, and the characters on the stage have long been irrelevant to the original people.

Du Zhongxiao didn't want to leave only one role for future generations, but also wanted to leave some of his own things to future generations, so that they would know that he was originally like this. It is neither white armor nor white armor, nor a spear in its hand, nor a lupine scarf.

After watching that scene and listening to those songs today, Du Zhongxiao suddenly became extremely eager, hoping that there would be a real art form worthy of his own battle. Not only to praise the victory, but also to commemorate, commemorate this period of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

Du Zhongxiao hopes that there is a kind of song that truly shows the momentum of the horse and the momentum of swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger. In this song, there are themselves, there are people who fight with themselves, filled with ambition and pride, joy, anger and sorrow.
