Whether Su Che's eldest brother Su Shi suffered a big loss because he couldn't understand these three levels and two understandings, Huang Dalang didn't know, but according to the records of the Huangzhou County Government he read recently, Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou and lived in Huangzhou The process was really miserable.

In the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), Su Shi was forty-three years old at that time and was transferred to Huzhou Zhizhou. After taking office, he wrote a letter to the emperor "Huzhou Xie Table", which was a routine matter, but Su Shi is a poet, and his pen is often emotional, even if he is an official article, he can't forget to add a little personal color, saying that he is "stupid and uncomfortable, it is difficult to follow the new entry", "the old man is not troublesome or can shepherd the small people", these words were caught by the new party in pigtails, saying that he was "fooling the court and arrogant", saying that he was "resentful and angry", "reprimanding public opinion", "harboring evil intentions", simply put, he wrote this thing to satirize the court, reckless and rude, Being disloyal to the emperor can be said to be more than innocent for such a big crime.

As a result, the anti-Soviet party was quickly formed, and they picked out from Su Shi's large number of poems sentences that they thought were ironic, and wanted to put him to death. On July 28 of this year, Su Shi was arrested by the officials of Yushitai and sent to Beijing, and dozens of people were implicated in the same case, which is the famous "Wutai Poetry Case" in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Wutai, that is, the Yushitai, is called Wutai because it is planted with cypress trees and inhabits crows all year round.

Afterward...... Su Shi was imprisoned for 103 days and was on the verge of being beheaded several times, but fortunately, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the national policy of not killing scholars and doctors was established during the reign of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and Su Shi escaped the catastrophe.

After being released from prison, Su Shi was demoted from the original governor of Huzhou (equivalent to the mayor of a prefecture-level city) to the deputy envoy of the Huangzhou Youth League Training (equivalent to the deputy minister of the prefecture-level armed forces). At that time, this position was quite low, and there was no real power, and at this time, Su Shi had become disheartened after this battle. When Su Shi first arrived in Huangzhou, he began to live in Dinghui Courtyard in the southeast of Huangzhou, and his life was very lonely. At this time, the life situation made Su Shi fall into a low point in his life all of a sudden, not to mention that Zhijun Yaoshun's ambition to govern the country and the country came to naught, and it was difficult to even protect himself and support his family.

During this period, he wrote the famous "Divination Operator? Huangzhou Dinghui Yuan Residence":

The lack of moon hangs dredging paulownia, and the initial tranquility of people is missing. Who sees a lonely person coming and going, ethereal and lonely. Startled but turned back, there was hatred and no one woke up. Pick up all the cold branches and refuse to perch, and the lonely sandbar is cold.

Su Shi, who was demoted to Huangzhou and had no official salary, did not complain about the heavens and people, so he led his family to reclaim a piece of sloping land in the east of the city that belonged to the regimental training camp, and farmed to help make up for his livelihood.

In March of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Dongpo went to the southeast of Huangzhou to buy land in Shahu, on the way to the rain, "peers are embarrassed", Dudongpo cane quinoa Xu Bu, calm and leisurely, and take pleasure, wrote the word "Dingfeng Wave":

Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not groan and walk slowly. Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life. The steep spring breeze blows the wine and wakes up, slightly cold, and the mountain is obliquely shining but welcomes. Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine.

Therefore, if you want to talk about Su Shi's life experience in Huangzhou, it can probably be summarized in two sentences in his words: the lonely sandbar is cold, and there is no wind and rain and no sunshine.

Not to mention Huang Dalang himself, even Yao Zheng didn't expect that this seemingly nonsense three levels and two understandings actually led to Su Che's exclamation, you must know that at that time, the deceased was regarded as the greatest, and it was inconvenient for the deceased relatives and friends to be arranged and evaluated by outsiders.

Su Che sighed with emotion, but came to see Huang Dalang and said: "Da Lang is sharp-tongued, I heard that he once studied under a stranger, but asked the old man to guess, your master is respected...... But the surname Zhu? ”

Huang Dalang's expression was slightly stunned, he could only nod, he had been by Zhu Taozhi's side for many years, of course he knew that this Su Shi was once a friend of Shizun, so it was not surprising that Su Che guessed who Master Rang was.

Su Che stroked his beard and smiled: "That's it!" The absolute thing is revealed. The old man had already let the boat go down the river, but he was led back by Da Lang's understanding, can Da Lang send a copy of this secret recipe for Dongpo meat to the old man? ”

Before Huang Dalang could speak, Yao Zheng was surprised, but he came to see Huang Dalang and said, "What is the secret Dongpo meat?" ”

"It's just a recipe for eating, I don't know if Master Su is for his own use, or if he wants to make a picture?" Huang Dalang's secret Dongpo meat recipe was naturally learned in Qimeng, and he used this dish to attract Su Che with ulterior motives, so of course he had to ask for clarification.

Su Che stroked his beard and thought for a while, then asked, "How about self-use?" What about him? ”

Huang Dalang knew the ins and outs of Dongpo meat in his strange dream, and naturally knew that the so-called Dongpo meat in various places today is also the original method, and it is not very popular. And this secret Dongpo meat is made after many improvements in later generations, according to the hint in the dream, this food is just delicious to others, but the meaning to the Su family is very different.

Therefore, he didn't make a deep groan, so he said: "If Master Su uses it for his own use, the student will write out the recipe immediately, and he can also teach the cook in Boss Su's house by hand." But if it's him, it's a different story! ”

Su Che's eyes, which were originally slightly cloudy, suddenly lit up, and he asked with a smile: "How can it be different?" ”

Huang Dalang didn't talk nonsense, so he said: "The world is bustling, all for fame and fortune." Mr. Su's reputation is known all over the world, so naturally it will not be for profit, it will be for fame. The students remember that there is a cloud in the "Ode to Pork" made by Mr. Su Shi: Huangzhou is good pork, and the price is as cheap as dirt. The noble refuse to eat, and the poor do not understand how to cook. Therefore, the students expected that if Mr. Su asked for a prescription, it would inevitably be spread all over the world, and his intention was to let the people who raised pigs in captivity benefit, and also buy a good reputation for his brother. ”

After Huang Dalang finished speaking, Su Che's eyes brightened, and the frequency of stroking his beard also increased by a beat, only to see him nod his head and say, "Not bad!" Not bad! Sure enough, it is a good apprentice raised by Zhu Laowei, and the old man admits it! Go ahead! What price does the old man have to pay for this method? ”

Others only think that Zhu Taozhi is a legendary immortal figure, but Su Che knows many allusions to Zhu Taozhi, for example, Zhu Taozhi will not help people easily, and if he helps, he will have to pay the corresponding price, just take the rule that he followed when he helped Huang Laoqi to treat his illness and asked Huang Dalang to be a Taoist child, so Su Che knew that since Huang Dalang was Zhu Taozhi's apprentice, then this matter was easy to talk about.

Huang Dalang pondered for a while, and then said: "First, Huangzhou is rich in tea, and the student's uncle has always wanted to ask the imperial court to open a tea restaurant in Huangzhou, but people are soft-spoken, and there is no one in the court, so I don't know if Master Su is willing to help in this matter." ”

Su Che thought about it for a while, and then said: "It's a good thing to open a tea restaurant and make profits with the people." Although the old man has been to Shi for many years and is far away from the court, it is not a big deal to hand over two letters, and he agreed! ”

Huang Dalang said again: "Fang Zi gave Mr. Su, the so-called spread is just through relatives and friends, setting off a trend of eating pig meat, this approach is very slow, it is better for Mr. Su to join forces with the students, in another way to extend, the student guarantee within three years, Dongpo meat can be marketed in the Great Song Dynasty, five years later, the pig meat can be on the main seat of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Su Che's eyes brightened even more, and he said, "Oh! Are you really that sure? But what is the solution? ”
