Chapter 1975 Someone comes to serve tea and someone comes to serve meat
Following the guidance of the hussar soldiers, Chen Qun followed behind, bypassing a forest, and then his eyes suddenly opened up. He walked along a winding corridor several times before walking into a small garden.
.
This is a villa in the south city of Chang'an. After walking here, Chen Qun couldn't help but be stunned. He had been walking around in Chang'an City for the past few days, but he didn't realize that there was a special cave here. In such a place,
In the middle of a big city, you can still find tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle. There is such a rural villa.
Chen Qun had also heard about the housing prices in Chang'an, so it must not be something Guo Jia could buy with his personal financial resources. It must be a villa owned by General Hussar.
Chen Qun lowered his eyes, as if to cover up the thoughts in his heart...
The guards of the Hussar General led him into the other courtyard. Not far ahead, he could see a person sitting in the hall. It was Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao whom he had not seen for a long time.
Guo Jia was wearing old clothes, half sitting and half lying down lazily.
Guo Jia didn't attend Fei Qian's wedding at all. The reason for not attending was very simple. Chen Qun naturally knew this.
But there are still many things Chen Qun doesn't know...
Guo Jia slowly raised his head and saw Chen Qun. His eyes were wandering up and down, as if he was studying Chen Qun seriously, or thinking about something, and did not immediately greet Chen Qun for a while.
Chen Qun took a step forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have seen the wine sacrifice... I know that the new leader of the wine sacrifice is taking the exam in Xijing. I don't know if I have seen him. He is indeed more elegant and makes people envious..."
Guo Jia raised his head and laughed, then pointed to his side, "Since an old friend is here, I will be rude... Sit down, sit down..."
Chen Qun thanked him and then sat down beside him upright, which was completely different from the lazy Guo Jia.
"Today I am staying in Beijing for wine and wine. This place is very beautiful and can be called a great place..." Chen Qun said slowly, with a gentle smile, as if he was just chatting, with no special meaning.
Guo Jia hesitated, then shook his head and said: "Is this article intended to harm someone?"
Chen Qun cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare."
Guo Jia smiled, waved his hand and said, "Or are you just relying on this and not afraid?"
Chen Qun was silent, and after a moment he said, "Isn't this what you want when offering wine?"
Guo Jia suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Come here, serve tea!"
Chen Qun was stunned for a moment, then looked around, then sniffed again, rolled his eyes twice, and then looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia also looked at Chen Qun.
Servants came and went, placed a small stove in front of the hall, and then boiled water to make tea. When the tea was brewed and brought to the table for two people, when the servants withdrew again, neither Guo Jia nor Chen Qun spoke.
Many people tend to be biased against reading comprehension in later education. They believe that the answers to the so-called "reading fragments" in Chinese language books are formulated according to a certain standard and are not the original author's ideas. In this way, in fact, there are
It makes sense, but these people have not thought more deeply about why they understand it this way, or why this answer is the standard answer that can get points?
Politics is an issue that will inevitably arise after the emergence of human classes. In politics, many things cannot and will never be explained so clearly that a person who does not have the ability to "read and understand" can clearly understand what happened.
, or what are the advantages and disadvantages, just like in future generations, if you put a book of law in front of you and read it at any time, no one may be able to understand the mystery.
Living in Beijing and being very beautiful, this is "Zheng Beike Duan Yu Yan".
If you want to do harm and speak out, this is the "Baigong Rebellion of Chu State".
Chen Qun said he didn't dare, but Guo Jia said he wasn't afraid. He was saying "show happiness to reward all the masters".
As for the latter part, it is more simple and straightforward. Those who clamor for water coming and going every day must understand it clearly...
The relationship between Guo Jia and Chen Qun is not very good. In other words, they are from different classes. Chen Qun comes from the Chen family in Yingchuan, and although Guo Jia is also a descendant of the Guo family in Yingchuan, Guo Jia is from a poor family. So in
To a certain extent, Chen Qun looked down on Guo Jia, and Guo Jia looked down on Chen Qun.
Some people say that Chen Qun and Xun Yu are very similar. Chen Qun is a simplified version of Xun Yu, or a deputy. Therefore, Chen Qun is a dispensable role in the Cao Group, but he can actually say such things.
People must have little political experience. The first-in-command is indeed very important, and everyone’s attention will be focused on Nanbowan, but can the second-in-command be ignored? The deputy county magistrate is not the county magistrate, and the deputy general manager is not the president.
Manager? Where is the level and where is the position? If you ignore the deputy position casually, you will definitely be driven to ecstasy by the deputy position easily.
What's more, most of the time, the deputy position is responsible for specific projects, while the principal position is mainly responsible for personnel and financial rights, and is not responsible for specific matters.
Just like Chen Qun, although the examination system was proposed primarily by Xun Yu and assisted by Chen Qun, it is still Chen Qun and not Xun Yu who is mainly responsible for the details of specific matters.
After some testing, both Guo Jia and Chen Qun had some understanding of the current situation.
"Xijing Kaozheng, since your majesty has been so kind, I don't dare to say thank you. If the words are beautiful, who can compare to Hu Qi? Even if the words are long and beautiful, the voice is well-known in Henan. It can be said to be noble, but the honor is not as good as it."
." Guo Jia put down the tea bowl and said slowly.
Chen Qun cupped his hands and said, "Spring flowers and autumn fruits are just one branch. Regardless of external affairs, brother Fengxiao is naturally still an old friend of Yingchuan. As the saying goes, keep walking steadily and never forget where you came from. I am a man of low intelligence and dull human nature.
I treat people and things very poorly. Even if I get a bad reputation or praise that is not true, I am really ashamed."
When Guo Jia heard this, he smiled again. "The long article comes and goes freely. A certain person is trapped in Chang'an. Although his eyes and ears are still there, he is no different from being blind. Now I see an old friend, reunite and recall yesterday, and complain for a while. Please write a long article."
Forgive me.』
Chen Qun lowered his head, sighed slightly, and then said: "I don't know where the prosperity is near Chang'an. Can I take a look?"
Guo Jia nodded slightly and said, "I wonder if Changwen has ever been to Qinglong Temple?" When Guo Jia was talking about Qinglong Temple, he had a strange expression on his face...
Chen Qun's eyes moved slightly and he said: "I haven't had time yet." This is not an excuse. Chen Qun has been wandering around Chang'an City these days and has not really gone out of the city to go anywhere else.
Guo Jia raised his head and said: "Now that early spring has arrived, everything is flourishing, and the dragon's head is on the plain, which is a great scene..."
Chen Qun nodded and said, "I will keep this in my heart and take a closer look."
Guo Jia also nodded, then lowered his head and drank tea slowly.
Chen Qun's eyes fell on Guo Jia's face, and suddenly he noticed that Guo Jia seemed to have a few more gray hairs on his temples. Although his face looked rosier than when he was in Yingchuan, there was a hint of loneliness between his eyebrows. Of course,
This is why Chen Qun initially felt that Guo Jia was living a good life. After all, the rosiness on his face was easier to spot, but the things deep in his eyes could not be seen with just one or two glances.
Overall, Guo Jia seems to be healthier than when he was in Xuxian County, Yingchuan, but he has lost the sharpness he had in Yingchuan, like a long sword that has been blunted, dim and dull.
The two sat in silence for a while, and finally said nothing. Chen Qun stood up to say goodbye, and Guo Jia had no intention of seeing him off. He just stood in front of the hall and watched Chen Qun leave.
Guo Jia turned around and returned to the hall, sat down, and did not move for a long time. Finally, he slowly exhaled a breath, and then he lay down on the wooden board in the hall, as if the breath just now was
Werther's skin-like breath is like a breath, and when he spits it out, Werther can no longer retain his original form.
If a young woman was robbed by a group of robbers and now had the opportunity to take her back, what would the family members of this woman do?
Please note that the gap between how it should be done and how it is actually done is by no means just two symbols and one word.
Of course, it is a bit too much to say that Fei Qian is a robber. After all, Fei Qian gave Guo Jia the corresponding position, salary, and even residential servants, etc. It should be more like a company, using the position, salary, company, apartment, etc., and then exchanged it for Guo Jia
The spirit of classmate Guo Fengxiao has been staying near the company for a long time. He must be on duty even after work and cannot leave easily...
Some are like 996 or even 007. So in the face of such a situation, what would "this woman" or "this woman's family" think and what would they do?
What should be done, and how is it actually done?
Some people may say that one is unpaid and the other is paid, but what if the copycat leader offers the "copycat lady position"? One person is inferior to others, and they can even give money and send people home while also saying
, in the future, if the copycat recruits people, they will also have some shares. It is hard to say for a first-grade lady, but it is very possible for a seventh-grade lady...
Maybe some people say that one restricts freedom and the other does not, so the "Copycat Lady" also has no restrictions on her activities in the copycat? And there is no concept of overtime, and there is no need to hold zero-hour mobilization meetings in the middle of the night from time to time?
Then the rest can be said to be voluntary and unwilling, so those 996 and even 007 are all voluntary and spontaneous? Just like those people who voluntarily cut their salary?
Yingchuan is Guo Jia's home, but now, Guo Jia knows that he can't go back.
His family did not welcome him.
In other words, most people don't welcome him.
After all, tea cools people down. The more wine you drink, the hotter it becomes, and the more you drink tea, the colder it becomes.
This is one of the reasons why Guo Jia serves tea instead of wine.
When Chen Qun visited Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang was also eating and drinking at Pang Tong's house.
It has to be said that Pang Tong is a person who has infinite love for food, a person who has very high standards for fats and oils, and a person who has escaped from low-level carbohydrates...
The peach wine in the exquisite silver pot from the Western Regions is like bright red blood, exuding this sweet smell in the air. Even if there is no pure transparent glass of later generations, the colorful glass cup can still show it
Its unique charm.
"In the past two days, there will be about a hundred carts of peach wine entering Guanzhong... That guy likes this kind of wine the most. When you go, don't bring anything else. If you bring a bottle
……hehe……"
Pang Tong said slowly, and then shook the glass cup slightly. This action was learned from the Cavalry General Fei Qian. It is said that it can make the drink sweeter, but there is also a shaking limit. If it exceeds
If the time limit is exceeded, it will not be beautiful.
This is very much in line with the Chinese Doctrine of the Golden Mean.
Pang Tong thought this action was very interesting, so he would do it every time he drank peach wine, and was even willing to show it to Zhuge Liang so that his friends could learn and master this skill together.
However, Zhuge Liang felt that this action was not very elegant, like an alcoholic staring at the drink and salivating, so Zhuge Liang just placed the wine glass on the table and did not do what Pang Tong said.
Pang Tong didn't mind either.
When he was under Lu Mountain, Zhuge Liang was like a bird. He was young but very independent and did not change his mind easily.
"So...come here this time just to take a look?" Pang Tong took a sip of his drink and said.
Zhuge Liang nodded.
Pang Tong shook his head, "What a pity..."
Zhuge Liang glanced at Pang Yi from bottom to top and said, "If Liang stays here for a long time, what will happen to Jingzhou?"
"Is Liu Jingsheng really unable to hold on any longer?" Pang Tong asked, "Are you trying to be mysterious? It seemed that Liu Jingsheng was the one who made the move last time?"
Zhuge Liang nodded and then drank. He felt that the peach wine was slightly astringent and had an indescribable sweetness, but it didn't seem to be any better than the best millet and other wines.
"This is a little difficult..." Pang Tong frowned slightly.
In fact, Pang Tong also discussed the issue of Jingzhou with Fei Qian very early on. For this revolving portal of the Central Plains, most of the time it is an area that is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Even if Jingzhou is captured, Cao Cao will be defeated.
The alertness has been greatly increased, and they may even unite with Jiangdong...
Because now Fei Qian and Cao Cao are still separated by some walls and doors. Even though Cao Cao knows that Fei Qian is doing trouble next door, there is still some distance after all. If Fei Qian owns Xiangyang, then he only needs two people anytime, anywhere.
The cavalry can be used to attack Xu County in just 3 days. This is almost equivalent to the fact that Lao Cao doesn't even have to wear a small coat and is directly exposed to the outside. Although it is ventilated and breathable, it is easy to catch a cold and burp.
While he was talking, some figures were moving in the corridor. Pang Tong immediately twitched his nose. He put his worries aside, clapped his hands and said, "Haha, the incense arrived before the people arrived!"
This is also the Western food modified by Fei Qianmo...
In other words, it's stoneware.
Very early on, humans invented the method of baking food on stone slabs. In other words, stone slabs were actually the predecessor of pots. Later, with the advent of pots and cauldrons, naturally fewer stone slabs were used in the wild, but now Fei Qian has started to use them again.
There was a wave of slate-burning trend in Guanzhong.
The servants came in twos and twos, and did not enter the hall directly, but stopped for a while outside the hall. This was a relatively safe distance, which would not allow the oil smoke to splash on the noble, but also allow the noble to directly
to see, hear and smell food-related information,
A cook stepped forward, first saluted Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang, then opened the brass cover on the stone slab, first sprinkled some spice powder, then poured in distilled alcohol, and finally lit it, and instantly a burst of flames roared.
The sound rose up, causing the color of the surface of the thick piece of beef on the stone plate to change rapidly.
The flames mix the aroma of wine and spices with the aroma of beef fat, and the alcohol that burns and evaporates quickly does not make people feel greasy, but instead irritates people's mouth and nose even more, unknowingly.
Saliva was secreted.
According to personal preference, Cook Ding fine-tuned the cooking time. Pang Tong preferred medium-rare and a little over, about six minutes, but Zhuge Liang obviously had not eaten this kind of food before, so medium-rare or medium-rare was relatively more acceptable. Therefore.
It was served to Pang Tong first, and then to Zhuge Liang, which perfectly corresponded to the cooking level of each beef.
The entire hall was suddenly filled with a rich fragrance. This fragrance, in a certain way, is also the smell of wealth. From copper lids to beef, from spices to spirits, from the day this dish was born
, it is destined not to be a cuisine that ordinary people eat.
"Watch it while it's hot!"
Pang Tong only had time to say these three words, and then he cut off a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. If it had been later, he might have drooled out.
The slightly charred skin, the still tender meat inside, the juice that bursts out when chewing, and the original taste of beef combine the aroma of oil, wine, and spices. This complex and indescribable mixed taste bursts out on the tongue's taste buds.
At this time, every DNA hidden in the body was awakened, cheering and cheering that this was an excellent source of nutrients.
Zhuge Liang closed his eyes slightly and chewed, then nodded, "It's indeed good."
Pang Tong laughed, feeling a simple joy in Zhuge Liang's approval, as if he had shared a good thing with his friends, and his friends also liked it very much, which was enough to satisfy him and make him happy.
Although people are omnivores, many, or most, people like to eat meat. At least most children do this when they are young, until they start not to eat meat due to certain things or reasons.
.The feeling of satiety brought by the fat in meat is completely different from the feeling of fullness caused by the complete lack of fat and pure carbohydrates.
To eat meat, ordinary people must be stronger, otherwise not only will they not have meat to eat, but they may also be eaten.
"What do you mean...well, that's about it anyway, what do you want?" Although the piece of meat was large, there was still a time to finish eating it. After waiting for the servants to remove the tableware and other things, Pang Tong said, "You probably have a unity."
Do you want your opinion?"
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.
Pang Tong shook his head, "This is not good."
Zhuge Liang looked at Pang Tong, "That's why I didn't go to Hussar, I came to you first..."
Pang Tong was silent, then he held Rourou's chin and said, "Look at the meat just now. It's just beef. If I think mutton is good, add a piece. Pork meat seems to be good, too. Add it. Then add chicken, duck or something."
Yes, even if the cooking method is still the same, the taste is different... And if there is too much meat, it will be difficult to control the heat. Maybe some are burnt, maybe some are not yet cooked..."
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "That's true. But if you wait until they are all cooked, I'm afraid some of them will be taken away and eaten by others first..."
Pang Tong sneered and said, "If you eat it, you have to spit it out..."
"If you eat something, you will definitely not want to spit it out. Naturally, you have to take action again." Zhuge Liang said, "In that case, why not take action earlier, so why cause more trouble later?"
Pang Tong tilted his head, thought for a while, and said, "It seems that you still don't understand..."
Zhuge Liang frowned slightly and said, "I understand. Although the lotus grows in the water, although it stands tall and tall, its roots are in the mud. If it has no roots, wouldn't it be like duckweed?"
Pang Tong suddenly smiled, "Wrong. You are wrong. You saw it wrong."
Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment.
"This looks like Lian Ping, but it's actually an ox and a horse!" Pang Tong laughed, then patted the table, "I never thought you, Kong Ming, would be wrong sometimes! Haha, hahaha!"
Zhuge Liang seemed to be still calm, but his eyebrows couldn't help but jump...
