Chapter 101 The Wind Rises
The same is true for people.
For superiors, people with different talents must be placed in different positions in order to exert corresponding energy.
Tie Xuan is square and rigid and meticulous in his work. Using him to check Yan Fan’s military intelligence, he will definitely be able to do everything in detail and in an orderly manner.
Xie Jin was talented, but he was a bit frivolous and good at arguing with others. Then it would be most appropriate to use him to sow discord and distract the subordinates of the King of Yan. Whether he believed it or not, he could disgust him for a while and make him feel uncomfortable.
As long as it is a nail, it will always rise. But a person's heart is too soft and can be kept for a while. The superiors have suspicious qualities. This buried nail will not soften over time and will only slowly emerge.
This is human nature!
Having a truth means that one should not have the intention to harm others, and being aware of others must not be without. In the face of power and wealth, other relationships must be back.
Year is finally here.
The efficiency of the court slowed down, and the pace of the capital slowed down.
This has been the case since ancient times. In the face of money, as long as it is not related to money, it must be handled later. All the big things will be discussed after the New Year. Of course, if there are debts, it must be recovered before the New Year.
Although the Emperor's Crown issued an order to select outstanding generals and sects of the coastal guards and set up a Jing Navy specializing in the removal of pirates and Japanese pirates, he ordered Guangzhou and Fujian shipyard to build warship speedboats, and Xinguo Gong Tang He was the general officer of the Jing Navy.
But this matter will also be carried out after the New Year.
It is not a drag, but the superiors should be polite to their subordinates and let the ministers who have been busy for a year have a good New Year. The Ming army is powerful and has super mobilized. After the New Year, Tang He rushed to Fujian and could immediately pull up a team that could fight. When the warships are in place, the Jinghai Army will sail and clear out the pirate's nest, which is natural.
In the past year, the capital was full of flowers, the streets were filled with people purchasing New Year's goods, and the streets were filled with dazzling array of goods. There were pedestrians on the streets, with their shoulders next to each other, all with laughter and joy.
The temples and Taoist temples in the south and north of the city are even more incenseful. People pray for gods and worship Buddhas are endless, and monks and Taoists are smiling.
The people who have worked hard for a year have to spend a happy Spring Festival for the whole family. Take out the best food, put on the best clothes, and worship our ancestors to show their wealth. At the same time, we should also take out some money to respect God and Buddha, pray for a happy life in the coming year and improve gradually.
The year is not so much a festival, but rather a ceremony for the Chinese people to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.
Behind the laughter and joyful New Year is a sacrifice to the ancestors of heaven and earth.
There is an ancient temple, Qixia Temple, outside Yingtian Prefecture. This temple was built in the seventh year of Yongming, Southern Qi. It has been a holy place for Buddhists in Jiangnan since ancient times. It has been a sacred place for the incense for a hundred years and is proud of itself.
The more famous the temple is, the more numerous the people come to burn incense and worship Buddha. There are many cars and horses outside the mountain gate, and the crowds are crowded. No matter the rich and poor, they want to offer a stick of incense in the famous temple before the end of the year, to seek a good day for the coming year, to have a good family and a happy life.
Not only are the people who burn incense and worship Buddha, but there are hawkers on both sides of the official road outside the mountain gate, and the sound of hawking is endless, it is like an open-air restaurant. After burning incense and worship Buddha, the people who bring their families to travel through it, either select their favorite products or eat some snacks, which is very lively.
There are mountains, temples, and there are gatherings.
In the solemn temple, the incense is vague, and the huge Buddha statues are solemn and precious to save all living beings.
Outside the mountain gate, there are mixed and noisy fireworks on earth.
Is the Buddha's incense so popular? Is the man's incense so beautiful?
Where can no one come from Buddha? In Zhu Yunxiu's view, the fireworks on earth are far superior to the incense of Buddha. The incense of Buddha belongs to Buddha, and the fireworks on earth belongs to thousands of people in the world. And they are passed down from generation to generation, and will never stop.
At a stall selling wontons, Zhu Yunyu was dressed in casual clothes and ate fresh meat wontons with sea rice. The skin was thin and the filling was big, and the shopkeeper's freshly wrapped and cooked. The fillings used were all for diners to see, and the price was real.
Although the wontons are small, the meat filling of a wonton is comparable to the ingredients used in a bowl of old Shanghai wontons in later generations.
The smoke from the pot was flying, and the meat filling was chopped on the cutting board. The one who chopped the filling was the shopkeeper's wife. The boss's wife flew up and down with two kitchen knives, and the two lumps of her chest were trembling, making people dizzy.
While eating, a diner peeked at her eyes, but she didn't know that the wontons were too hot and she suddenly grinned.
Haha! Zhu Yunxiu laughed out loud, and she was overjoyed. The owner of the wonton stall was rough and powerful, but the diner was not picky about food and peeking at her eyes. She was really useless.
Hearing Zhu Yunxi's sneer, the hot diner was a little worried. He cursed angrily, but when he saw Zhu Yunxi's brocade hat and sable fur, a group of burly followers followed him, he immediately stopped.
It is no trivial for the Emperor's grandson to leave the palace. Fu asked the Zhang Fu and Liao brothers and other personal troops to accompany him, staring at the people around him. He Guangyi, the Jinyiwei, was secretly guarded with a secret whistle.
Guest, how does it taste? The shopkeeper of the wonton stall asked in a hint of a hint of Zhu Yunyu's dress. The stall was hosted by peddlers, and it was rare that a rich young master would be there to visit him.
Very good! Zhu Yunxiu took a sip of soup and said with a smile, it was no worse than what the big restaurant did!
The shopkeeper immediately smiled. The three generations of the little man's family sold wontons. The most important thing is that the goods are genuine and the customers can only have repeat customers if they eat well!
Zhu Yunsheng nodded with a smile. It was not that there were no profitable businessmen in this generation, but that the cost of being a profitable businessmen was too high. Whenever the people sued the merchant, the official and the master directly arrested the merchant for a slaughter.
Even if the people beat up people in business because of goods disputes, they will be beaten up in vain.
However, it is limited to small businessmen who make a living by doing business.
Come again... Zhu Yunxiu checked the people around him and said with a smile, "Six bowls will be the same as me!"
OK! The shopkeeper agreed and then smiled, "Young master, you guys are all burly and you may not be able to eat a full bowl. Why not give me a few more bacon pancakes? Please be sure to eat beautifully!"
Come up together! Zhu Yunxi smiled.
The shopkeeper threw his towel on his shoulder and shouted at the bacon pancake stall next to him, "Waiter!"
Reply over there, brother-in-law, what's the matter?
Six bacon pancakes, add more meat! The shopkeeper shouted.
Haha, no wonder he recommended us to eat cakes. Feelings are his brother-in-law's business! Zhu Yunsheng smiled and said, "This shopkeeper can do business!" As he said, looking at the guards around him who were facing a great enemy, he smiled and said, "Sit down and eat the hot bowls, don't be nervous. There are not so many bad people in a peaceful and prosperous era!
Fu asked Zhang Fu and other guards to sit down obediently, but he kept looking around, and kept putting one hand on his waist, touching the place where the weapons were hidden.
In an instant, wontons and meat patties were brought up, and the guards ate their food. They had been hungry after spending a day with Zhu Yunxiu.
At this time, an old woman with a boy came to the wonton stall. The old woman was dressed in shabby clothes, and the child was quite embarrassed, and she was a little out of place with the rich and joyful crowd around her.
How much does a bowl of wontons cost? The old woman asked.
Five big money!
So expensive! The old woman pulled the child back two steps.
But the child didn't move at all. Grandma, I'm hungry!
The shopkeeper, can I sell half a bowl of wontons to the old woman? The old woman said softly and looked embarrassed.
The boy she pulled stared at wonton and his saliva flowed on the corners of his mouth, shiny. The two seemed to have been hiking a long way, and their bodies were covered in dust.
Look at what you said, what's wrong with half a bowl! The shopkeeper smiled and said, "You're looking for a place to sit, I'll cook it for you now!" As he said, he said to the woman, I'll chop the filling, you'll cook it!"
There is no reason for half a bowl! Although the shopkeeper's wife said that, she still put the wontons in the pot. When she turned around, she saw the boy swallowing saliva, a smile appeared on her face, and she added another handful of wontons.
After a while, the wontons became ripe. The old woman pushed them to her grandson, took out a piece of black grain cake and started eating it in small bites.
Grandma, you eat it! The boy is sensible and humble.
You eat more! The old woman looked kind, but she was not stubborn. After repeated urging by her grandson, she used mixed grain cakes and dipped some soup.
I'll serve you a bowl of soup! The shopkeeper's wife quickly put a bowl of hot soup for the old lady and put it on the table.
Thank you! The old woman carefully took out two copper coins from her arms, and her face became more and more embarrassing, and she could only...
Look at what you said, I will give you this bowl of wontons for the New Year! The shopkeeper smiled and said, "At the feet of the Buddha, I will do good deeds today!"
There are still many good people in the world! A small person with small kindness is a great kindness!
When Zhu Yunyu saw this scene, he nodded secretly.
Turning his head and instructing Fu Rang, give the old woman some money and give more wonton stalls!
Yes! Fu Rang nodded.
Then, Zhu Yunxiu stood up and walked forward leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Let’s come again after eating, Master! The shopkeeper nodded and bowed.
Hold it! Fu Rang raised his hand and a five-liang of silver flew into the shopkeeper's hand.
Ah? The shopkeeper exclaimed, the villain can't find it!
Good people will be rewarded, and my master will reward them! Fu Rang said, and walked to the old lady, the old lady, my young master gave them, you will hold them! Two ingots of 10 taels of ingots were stuffed into the old woman's hand.
This... the old woman was stunned.
If a commoner has small kindness, he should have great kindness for the king.
It seems to be a prosperous era with flowers, but some people still can't afford wontons. There are even people who can't afford to eat.
Walking among the lively crowd, Zhu Yunxiu felt that the burden on his body was a long way to go.
Send someone to follow and don’t let the old woman’s money be snatched away!
Zhu Yunxiu walked out for a while and said to the guards beside him.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a hysterical cry suddenly came from behind him.
Grandson, run away!
grandmother!
The sound of calling makes people tremble.
Zhu Yunxi turned around and walked quickly. In his sight, three or five men in black were dragging the old woman and the child to walk away. People around him whispered, dared not speak out.
Take it! Zhu Yunxi shouted loudly.
Chapter completed!
