Qingyu opened the kitchen door and saw Xu Lan sitting in front of the stove in a daze. She walked over and sat down beside her, "Today you compete with Master Tang and Master Wu in cooking."
"Should I compete too?" Xu Lan was a little surprised and a little panicked. Master Tang and Master Wu are the two most respected masters, and they are also the two most recognized masters in the past seven days.
"They are really powerful, I... I'm afraid I can't compare." Xu Lan said unconfidently.
Qingyu smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, can you compare? You are the master of this Juxianzhai, and you have skills that none of them have. Just show your true skills and let everyone know what kind of skills you have.
enough.
As for winning, how big are you and how big are they? Comparing with them is not about winning, but about letting you learn something from them that you don't have.
You have to know that no matter what the craft is, practice makes perfect. The same goes for cooking. Although I don’t know how to cook, I also know that mastering the taste does not happen overnight.
So, it’s only normal that you can’t compare with them. Others have been masters in this industry for decades, so why should they lose to a junior like you? Wouldn’t that be a waste of life?”
After Xu Lan was enlightened by this, her heart suddenly became enlightened. Yes, she was only eighteen years old. Those seniors were all in their forties or fifties. How could she possibly be able to compete with them? She wanted to win against those seniors.
Senior, I just think too much.
Moreover, if you, a junior, compete with an senior, even if you lose, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
After understanding this, Xu Lan completely relaxed and smiled gratefully at Qingyu: "Thank you, Miss Third. I understand."
Qingyu nodded, "But you have to use all your skills and don't be too relaxed.
Although you may be a little behind those old masters based on your real skills, you are young and you have more ideas.
The older generation is already stuck in the rut, and most of them don't know how to adapt and react based on years of experience. But you are different. What you need now is to create and create something of your own."
"Just like that Jiang." Xu Lan said happily: "I understand Miss San."
Qingyu patted Xu Lan's shoulder and stood up: "Then I'll leave this place to you. I have to go out to find someone today. I'm not in Juxianzhai. If you have anything to do, just pinch this bead and I can rush him.
come over."
Then he handed Xu Lan a small transparent bead.
"Thank you, Miss Third." Xu Lan held the beads in moved hands and watched Qingyu leave.
...
After leaving Juxianzhai, Qingyu and Shi'an came to a bamboo house named Changleju. This bamboo house was located in a secluded location near the inner circle.
Although it is said to be a bamboo house, it is actually a large courtyard, which can be seen from the low-key yet elegant gate. The simple and elegant gate also shows the taste of the owner of the house.
Elegant.
Qingyu and Shi'an were still at the door when they heard the sound of the piano playing in the house. Although they were playing it randomly, they formed their own tune. The sound of the piano was soft and beautiful, which was quite soothing.
Shi'an nodded and praised: "Not bad."
Qing Yu said: "It is rare to get a compliment from my second senior brother."
Shi'an stepped forward and knocked on the door. Soon, a young man came to answer the door. The young man was very well dressed and his behavior was somewhat elegant. However, after seeing the two children at the door, he was still a little confused.
.
The boy recalled that no children had come to visit recently, and he wondered if they were troublemakers. It could be seen that the two children at the door were calm and steady, not like troublemakers. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Are you knocking on the door?"
"I heard that Mr. Xue is the number one piano player in Yinzhou, and my sister-in-law and I came to visit." Shi'an gave the boy a bunch of money.
The boy became more and more confused. Two children came to visit his young master. This didn't seem like anything serious.
However, considering that there are many people who come to learn their piano skills on weekdays, the waiter asked again: "Are you two also piano masters?"
"Yes, and no." Shi'an said ambiguously. At his level, becoming the first violinist is indeed as simple as picking something out of a bag.
The boy was not sure, but he knew that those who dared to come and compete with his master were probably not ordinary people, so he respectfully invited the two of them into the courtyard. When they were brought to the front yard, another boy took over and took the two of them again.
Take it to the backyard.
Qingyu and Shi'an were taken to a side hall in the backyard to wait for a while, and then the servants left and went to report on their own, and then the maids brought refreshments.
Qingyu waited for the maid to retreat before eating snacks. Shi'an smiled and said: "It seems that the rumors are true. In addition to the bamboos all over the courtyard, there are even bamboos in the room. Xue Tong really loves bamboos as much as his life."
.”
Xue Tong of Yinzhou had two hobbies in his life, one was the harp and the other was bamboo. As for why everyone knew his preferences, there was only one reason. His harp skills, at least in Yinzhou, were unmatched.
As for celebrities, those special little hobbies are just fun and gossip for ordinary people.
The boy in charge of the announcement came back soon, and then said to Qingyu and Shi'an with clasped hands, "You two, my young master is waiting in the bamboo pavilion."
Qingyu put down her snacks, patted the residue on her hands, and then followed the boy with Shi'an.
...
As expected, the bamboo pavilion in Changleju is full of bamboo. There is a pavilion in the middle, which is also made of bamboo. The whole courtyard is very cool, and the nose is also full of the fragrance of bamboo, which complements the burning sandalwood in the pavilion.
It smells very comfortable.
After the young man brought Qingyu and Shi'an to the pavilion, he reported to Xue Tong: "Sir, we have arrived."
Xue Tong nodded slightly, the servant stepped back, and the maid who had been waiting for him served tea again.
Xue Tong didn't stop holding his hands, or even raised his eyes at all. While plucking the strings, he asked, "How do you like this tea?"
Shi'an picked up the teacup, took a look at it, and said slowly: "Green tea, green soup, green bottom leaves, this should be this year's Enshi Jade Dew, it is good tea."
Enshi Jade Dew is green tea, but there are so many green teas, but this person can accurately judge it in just a few breaths, which makes Xue Tong feel a little more satisfied.
He raised his eyes to look at Shi'an, and his heart moved slightly. Even though this child was not dressed richly, his aristocratic attitude was clearly evident in his movements. Without years of cultivation, it would be difficult for him to achieve this attitude.
"It seems that the young master was also born in a noble family. Forgive me for my blindness, but a famous piano player in Yinzhou can't think of someone as young as you."
Shi'an cupped his hands and said, "I came today not to compete with the young master on piano skills. I just want to ask the young master for a favor."
Xue Tong frowned slightly, lowered his head with some displeasure, and issued an order to expel the guests, "Since this is not a competition of piano skills, then you can leave and don't disturb my current enjoyment."
The servants standing on the left and right came forward to greet Qingyu and Shi'an.
Shi'an looked helpless and looked at Qingyu.
Qingyu stood up and left. After a while, she came back into the pavilion with something, and then asked Xue Tongtong: "What about this?"
Xue Tong raised his eyelids impatiently, but after just one glance, his whole body froze.
