"Uncle Zhang, what are you talking about? Ye Tan is still cooking for you in your kitchen, but you are saying this, isn't it good?" Although Liang Jing was a little bit reproachful, she asked back with a smile, which made her laugh.

Zhang Yu was embarrassed, so she picked up the tea cup and wanted to take a sip, but found that there was no water, so she had to dress up and pretend.

"I didn't mean it that way, I just thought it was strange."

"To be honest, it's not only you who are weird, but also me." When Old Master Liang said this, he felt a little emotional. Although he is also a teacher, teaching and educating people is what he should do, but what happened to him these days

But things made him feel a little strange and out of place.

It stands to reason that a gentleman should cultivate his moral character and cultivate his character, but if he can't even eat, what's the point of these things? Many sages said that they should give up this and give up that. In the end, there is no way to give up.

Do it because everyone has to live and eat. Although the sages deserve everyone's respect, in many cases they may not be as good as a piece of meat in the common people's bowl.

"What are you wondering about? With this kid's ability, even if he is not an official in the future, he will still be a powerful person. I have never seen such a person in my life." Zhang Yu actually didn't say a word. Such a powerful person,

It's incredible that you didn't recruit him as your son-in-law.

"Studying is not just for being an official. Sometimes being an official can do more things." Old Master Liang did not say how much he hoped Ye Tan could become an official, but since ancient times, only those who are officials can use all kinds of resources.

Only by integrating can you want to do various things.

Although the businessman is rich, his status is not high after all. Now Ye Tan is not a businessman. If anyone says that he is a businessman, Mr. Liang will have to fight with him, because once he falls into the class of businessmen, he will have to stand out in the future.

It’s difficult. And all of this is just hanging on Yejiacun’s head. Of course, the actual person in control is Ye Tan. However, he has already seen it. If Yejiacun is not really too poor, he

He doesn't know how to do these things at all. Sometimes this kid is too lazy and would rather find a straw nest to sleep in than do other things.

"That's right." Zhang Yu is old after all, and talking to Old Master Liang is a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, his old friend didn't say any other unpleasant words. Even if he came to cancel the engagement today, he wouldn't be surprised. After all, his family

The situation is right in front of us.

"It's time to eat." Ye Tan walked in first with a smile, holding a tray with some food on it, followed by Zhang Yi. Although he was beaten, he seemed to be in better condition now.

He was also carrying a plate and a small bucket with rice and a bottle of wine.

The life of Zhang Yu's family was not good, but Ye Tan's craftsmanship was very good, and even Pei Yuan found this dish delicious when he ate it. Under such circumstances, his stomach immediately growled.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Old Master Liang poured him a glass of wine nonchalantly, then picked up his chopsticks and pointed at one of the dishes and said, "Look, this is braised pork, my disciple's specialty, don't

It looks like it's made from pork, and it tastes great. In fact, I've made it with other meat before, and the taste is very different."

"Pork?" Zhang Yu's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and his face looked a little unhappy.

In the Tang Dynasty, mutton was the meat of the nobles, while beef was almost not eaten by everyone, not because they didn't like it, but because they couldn't afford it. As for pork, poor people didn't like to eat it because it was dirty and tasted bad, but because pigs were easy to serve.

, so I still have a lot of people to support me. Although this old friend of mine is not a sour scholar, he is very demanding in this area. How did it become like this?

"Yes." Mr. Liang used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fat and thin meat, with skin, fat and lean meat. He put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly and then said, "It's really delicious. Come on, come on,

Let’s have a drink. If you don’t like this good food, then eat fish. By the way, there’s also this, venison, they’re all good food.”

Zhang Yu could only turn his chopsticks, picked up some bamboo shoots, took a bite, and found that it was really good, and then had a drink with Old Master Liang.

Zhang Yi didn't care about this. Maybe he was hungry, or maybe he just ate something secretly in the kitchen. He picked up a piece, threw it directly into his mouth, and then started eating rice. Although he was old, it was a pity that he didn't like it very much.

When drinking, although people are poor, their movements are really elegant.

The Zhang family and his son were very happy after eating the meal. It was not until the end that Zhang Yu tried to pick up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. Then he opened his eyes wide and said, "You are such a treacherous son. There is nothing delicious about it."

Tell me, I raised you in vain."

Of course, this was said to Zhang Yi. This kid ate half a plate, but Ye Tan and Liang Jing ate the most vegetables and fish. Fish is not worth money these days because there are so many in the river. I originally thought

It was because he was being polite. Later, when Old Master Liang had tea with him, he said that this boy and his own girl had long been tired of eating. After asking, I found out that there are many workshops in Yejia Village, and the cooking is done separately.

, for the sake of face or other reasons, I will always leave the best meat to them, including the village chief Ye Wenwen, the old Taoist Wuchenzi, myself, and of course Ye Tan, so I don’t usually

This thing is missing.

"Then why is this meat different from what you usually eat?" Zhang Yu finally asked this question after holding it back for a long time.

"That's because this pig is different from the usual ones. The pigs are usually raised for one or two years before being killed, and they are not treated, so they smell very bad. But now they have been treated, and with my apprentice's craftsmanship, the smell is very bad."

, To be honest, the emperor will not eat this thing." Old Master Liang may have had a few drinks and started to brag.

"Hey, old friend, do you really think it's suitable for Zhang Yi and your Xiaojing to be together?" Zhang Yu tasted the tea carefully and thought it tasted delicious. Unfortunately, it's not certain whether he can drink it in the future. Now it's obvious that the Liang family

Life is much better than at home. This is a problem.

"It's appropriate. I watched Zhang Yi grow up." Mr. Liang would not push his daughter into a pit of fire, and he spoke very formally.

"But, this..." Zhang Yu was really embarrassed to tell her about her family's situation.

"Isn't it just poverty? Yejia Village was also very poor before. In fact, it is very simple to change this." Liang Shuqun said with a smile and pretending to be profound.

"What's the explanation?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Just let Zhang Yi learn to work." In the past, he would definitely have said that he should study hard, but now, he saw that he didn't have enough to eat, so what was the point of studying?

"But he still needs to study. How can he become an official if he doesn't study?" As soon as Zhang Yu finished speaking, he heard Old Master Liang say, "Studying is not always needed. Don't you need rest? Without a good body

, even if you finish your studies and find a daughter-in-law from an official family for you, you won’t be able to survive for a few years. Before, I thought it would be fine as long as I studied. But I later found out that this was not the case.

, many people also need a rest while studying, and he is not young anymore this year and needs to support his family." Old Master Liang told some of his experiments, and in the end, although Zhang Yu did not express his position, he also relaxed.

When the sun set in the afternoon, Old Master Liang wanted to go back, but he did leave a lot of things behind.

Zhang Yu originally wanted to ask about the Xiao family's affairs and what to do, but was too embarrassed to ask. As a result, Old Master Liang said, "My disciple is not leaving tonight. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Seeing Ye Tan tie a horse in front of his house with a smile, Zhang Yu and his son looked at each other, not knowing why.
