Li Shui opened the food box with a smile, and there were steaming dumplings inside.
Weiyang picked up the chopsticks and tasted one. She narrowed her eyes immediately and praised it profusely. She said, "Dumplings are somewhat similar to steamed buns, but they taste more delicious."
Li Shui took out another small clay pot, poured the contents into a small plate, and said, "Dip it in vinegar to taste more unique."
Weiyang ate one as she was told, and nodded immediately, saying: "This taste should only be found in heaven. When I ate steamed buns, I thought they were the most delicious thing in the world. Later I ate steamed buns and found they were even more delicious than steamed buns. Now. When I eat dumplings, I think they are even better.”
Li Shui said with a smile: "That's natural. It's not as delicious as dumplings, but it's not as fun as...ahem, princess, please eat quickly, or Fu Yao will eat them all."
It was indeed almost eaten by Fu Yao. This guy almost put his face on the plate and did not dip it in vinegar. He was like a wind and a lingering cloud. He had already eaten a dozen of them in one bite.
Li Shui looked at the way he was eating and couldn't help but shook his head: "Nobility and etiquette are all bullshit. When you eat, you are gentle because the food is not tempting enough."
After a quarter of an hour, all the dumplings were eaten.
Weiyang knelt down and sat behind the tables with an afterthought expression on her face. Fu Yao was lying on the mat and said to Li Shui with a sad face: "Master, I have a stomachache."
Li Shui was a little helpless: "How come I haven't exhausted you to death after eating so many dumplings? Get up and walk around to digest."
Fu Yao held his stomach and walked around in the room.
As he walked, he asked Li Shui: "Master, my father has been eating your steamed buns for every meal recently. My father is really full of praise. Why don't you offer steamed buns and dumplings? In that case, my father will be even more happy. Maybe I’ll give you a few more knighthoods.”
Li Shui smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, you can't be anxious about this matter."
There really shouldn't be any rush on this matter. Cangfu and his gang have just learned how to steam steamed buns. I haven’t learned how to make steamed buns and dumplings yet. Now these two things were made by Li Shui himself.
If Qin Shihuang had tasted it, he would have asked Li Shui to steam buns and make dumplings every day. Wouldn’t that be exhausting?
Therefore, Qin Shihuang cannot see this thing now. We have to wait until Ao Fu and others learn how to do it...
As for why you don't teach it to the cooks in the palace... Haha, as long as I, Li Shui, am here, Shangjun's courtyard will be the imperial dining room from now on.
If you want to capture the emperor's heart, you must first capture his stomach.
Li Shui sat beside him and thought about it for a while, then smiled at Fu Yao and said, "Disciple, do you know why you want to join the court to discuss politics as a master? Why do you want to be the fifth official?"
Fu Yao was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "If you are good at learning, you will become an official?"
Li Shui shook his head: "I don't like being an official."
Fu Yao hummed, "That's true. A noble person like Master definitely doesn't like being an official or being restricted."
Fu Yao frowned and thought for a while, then said, "Disciple really can't understand."
Li Shui sighed and said: "Fusu is pedantic, but Chun Yuyue is a doctor leader. Hu Hai is ruthless, and Zhao Gao also did what he ordered. The masters of all the princes have a place in the court. However, as a teacher, observe them. , they all hope that he is not like a human king. It is for the sake of the world and for the sake of the prince. As a teacher, I can only enter the court to discuss politics."
Fu Yao hasn't figured it out yet. Wei Young suddenly bowed to Li Shui and said with great sincerity: "Sir, you have made great plans for Fu Yao. Wei Young is grateful."
Li Shui nodded.
Fu Yao looked at the two of them a little puzzled: "Is it because of me that master wants to join the court?"
Weiyang touched his head and said softly: "The emperor's family is the most ruthless. This kind of thing must be planned in advance. Now that Mr. Huai is helping you, my mother and I can rest assured."
Fu Yao was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized: "Master wants me to strive to be the crown prince?"
Li Shui nodded: "Not too stupid."
Today Fu Yao is only ten years old. But being born in an imperial family and having been exposed to these things since childhood, I naturally know a little more than others.
But a boy is a boy after all, and he is not yet so hungrily obsessed with the throne.
Fu Yao thought for a while and whispered: "Disciple feels... Fusu seems to be more suitable to be emperor than me."
Li Shui was so angry that his lungs hurt, and he thought to himself: "You don't want to be the emperor? Then won't all the investment in the teacher be wasted? When Fusu becomes the emperor, won't the teacher be beheaded?"
Li Shui wanted to scold Fu Yao, but saw that Wei Young was still nearby. He said as pleasantly as possible: "Why do you think Fusu is suitable to be emperor? Let's talk to my teacher."
Fu Yao thought for a while and said, "Fusu is a generous and polite man."
Li Shui sneered and said: "A generous man? Then why does he keep saying to kill me? Polite? In his opinion, all disasters and diseases are due to disrespect for etiquette. According to what he said, you should recite the Analects of Confucius every day , can the sores on your back be cured?"
Fu Yao shook his head.
Li Shui sighed and said: "You have to remember that good people may not necessarily do good things. Today in the court, Fusu's master Chun Yuyue proposed to divide the princes and reunite the world that His Majesty had so easily unified. Split out.”
"In this way, hundreds of years later, the Qin Dynasty will become another Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The feudal princes will fight and death will fill the country. Is this the so-called benevolence? Is this the so-called etiquette? Is this the so-called generosity? Their generosity , will kill countless people.”
"Fusu respects his teachers and respects his principles. Once he is made emperor, he will definitely carry out enfeoffment according to Chunyu Yue's ideals. At that time, who can stop him?"
Fu Yao nodded slightly and said, "I understand. Master, I understand. I want to be the emperor. I want to follow Master's ideas and give the world a peaceful world."
Li Shui nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's right."
Fu Yao asked again: "There are so many young masters, why does Master think that I can be the emperor?"
Li Shui said nothing, thinking: "It's not that you can do it, but that you have to do it. My wealth and life depend on you."
Seeing Li Shui's silence, Fu Yao asked expectantly: "Master, is it because I have better qualifications that you value me?"
Wei Yang next to her was a little speechless: "Doesn't this feel too good about yourself?"
Li Shui said: "Fu Yao, your qualifications are actually mediocre. But I have this genius as your master, and you are enough to surpass everyone in the world."
Weiyang was dumbfounded and could only comfort herself and said: "Master Huai, you are talented and not hypocritical. With such a talent, there is no need to be hypocritical. It's good...it's good."
After eating the dumplings, the conversation was almost over. Wei Young lingered for a while, and seeing that Li Shui seemed to have nothing to do anymore, she stood up and left unhappily.
At this time, Li Shui suddenly took out a delicate small mirror from his body and said with a smile: "Last time, Princess Meng gave me a sandalwood fan. This is my return gift."
Weiyang was surprised and happy, her face suddenly turned red, she took the mirror and ran away.
Fu Yao yelled from behind, asking Wei Young to wait for him. But Weiyang ignored her at all and quickly returned to her bedroom.
She closed the door and studied the mirror carefully. The mirror is a bronze mirror, polished very finely, and inlaid with sparkling gems, which makes it valuable at first sight.
Most importantly, there is a poem engraved on the back.
Wei Yang frowned and looked at it for a long time, still not understanding what this character was: "Small seal script? Big seal script? Bronze inscriptions? Could it be Chu inscriptions? It doesn't look like it. Weird, I understand almost all the characters in the world, why haven't I seen this? Kind of words?"
"Oh my god, what is this poem about?" Wei Yang's heart was in a state of confusion.
…………
At the same time, Li Shui left the palace leisurely with his hands behind his back. Last time, it took the boss a lot of effort to figure out the poem Wei Young wrote on the fan.
It has to be said that Weiyang's method was very clever. He left a message in a niche text to avoid being read by interested people.
And Li Shui also learned her method.
As Li Shui walked, he muttered: "The quiet girl is a promiscuous woman, which makes me a troublemaker. The troublemaker has a strong body, and she is said to be a beautiful woman. She has returned from herding to grass, and her beauty is different. The gangster girl is beautiful, and the beautiful woman is the beauty."
"Good poem, really good poem. It's my first time to write a love poem, so I'm a little embarrassed. I hope Weiyang can understand simplified Chinese characters. Hehe." Li Shui smiled evilly.
