What kind of dish is here? The color is so dark that it doesn’t look good. Does it taste good?
If you look carefully, some are like noodles, some are lumpy, some are like tofu, some add duck, some add cold salad, some add coriander, some add roasted fish, some add pickles, some add fungus, etc.
Wang Weizhong and Wang Jian looked at the dishes on the table carefully and couldn't help asking hesitantly: "What kind of dish is this? It's dark. Is it delicious?"
Zhao Ping glanced at the two of them and said, "You will know if it tastes good or not."
The two are not only drunkards, but also foodies.
The two of them looked at each other and immediately put it into their mouths with chopsticks. While eating, they said: "It's soft and refreshing. The more you eat, the more you want to eat."
The black dish Wang Weizhong was holding had just put it into his mouth, and as soon as he swallowed it, the cool dish automatically got into his throat, almost swallowing his tongue.
Wang Jian sandwiched a black noodle-like dish and said, "It's more elastic and softer than noodles."
Wang Weizhong ate the black dish with duck and said: "It's soft, fragrant and full of flavor."
Wang Jian stopped his chopsticks and commented to everyone: "This dish is very unique, that is, it is very soft and refreshing. What's more, the dishes are very rich. Xiaolangjun, I have also tasted the dishes, and the name should also be told to me. .”
Zhao Ping looked at everyone and saw everyone's eyes focused on him. He smiled slightly and said: "This is the fairy taro series of dishes. Some are fairy taro noodles, some are fairy taro vermicelli, some are fairy taro roasted duck, and some are fairy taro salad. Some are fairy taro tofu,..."
After Zhao Ping finished the introduction, he bowed his hands to Yu Jie and Zhu Wenbing: "Report to the commander-in-chief, report to the supervisor, please taste it."
As the hosts, Zhao Ping, Qin Yulong, and Yang Wu naturally accompanied Yu Jie, Zhu Wenbing, Tang Yi and other civil servants.
The military attache was accompanied by Xi Xing, Zhao Yun, and Yang Yun. Zhao Ping was a little worried that the military attaché would look down on them.
Unexpectedly, although Xi Xing and Zhao Yun were not as good as them in rank, the performance of the security team made them not proud, not to mention that the security team also gave them many war horses.
Dai Shiqian, Song Fei, Liu Wei and others took turns to persuade people to drink, making the military attache's table far more lively than the civilian officials' table. This was beyond Zhao Ping's expectation.
In fact, military commanders are all upright and forthright people. With the addition of wine, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
The banquet is coming to an end, and there is one last dish.
A large bowl is filled with a bowl of thin vermicelli, with fried peas and soybeans floating on the steaming water.
How does this taste?
Wang Weizhong and Wang Jian, two foodies, ate it as soon as they picked it up. They felt it was particularly refreshing among the sour, fragrant and spicy flavors.
The two of them were eating and strategizing. They were so moved that they almost cried: "This dish is so good. It may be the best food in my life."
When everyone heard this, they immediately started eating.
After the two foodies Wang Weizhong finished eating, they yelled and asked for another bowl.
Zhao Ping shook his head and said: "There is only one bowl per person, and it is only available in the private room upstairs."
Wang Weizhong couldn't help being stunned, and asked with wide eyes: "What kind of delicacy is this? It's so precious."
Zhao Ping bowed his hands to everyone and said, "Let me tell you, this is spicy and sour fairy taro powder."
Zhao Ping's favorite hot and sour rice noodle in his previous life is now being produced by Xiantiao and Chili, so there is no condition to make this dish yet.
In desperation, he used fairy taro powder instead of red potato powder and dogwood instead of chili pepper.
Even so, this traditional delicacy with authentic Sichuan flavor has conquered almost everyone.
Tang Yi suddenly raised his hand and asked Zhao Ping: "Master Chao, what is this fairy taro made of?"
Zhao Ping hurriedly returned the gift and said: "Master Tang, this is the demon taro. After the boy has processed it, the poison will be removed and it can be eaten."
Tang Yi was smart enough not to ask how he handled it this time.
But he knew that if he wanted to ask how to handle it, Zhao Ping would definitely tell him.
Zhao Ping was worried that people here would talk too much and leak technical secrets.
After having enough wine and food, I naturally drink tea, and the tea is naturally good tea to intoxicate the spring breeze.
Yu Jie sipped her tea and stood up to look at Jiading in front of her.
After a long time, he turned around and sighed and said: "Fan Wengong said, worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness. It's a pity that people of our generation always feel ashamed."
Everyone was secretly surprised when they heard the commander say this. Everyone was thinking about the food and forgot about the people, especially the people in Jiading.
Everyone felt ashamed and said one after another: "Fan Wengong, you worry about the world first, and you are happy about the world last. Shame on you! Shame on you!"
Everyone expressed their opinions, saying that they should stand firm with the commander in chief, and should not patronize delicious food, but should worry about the people of the world.
Fan Wengong is a model for literati in the world, and this attitude must be shown.
Who said that ancient times did not talk about politics? Ancient times were a kind of moral politics.
This kind of politics takes Confucian culture as its core, and its purpose is to cultivate one's moral integrity, harmonize one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world.
Zhao Ping was secretly worried.
Sure enough, Yu Jie sighed again and said: "Although the Hu people were defeated in this war, the people suffered and made me uneasy all the time."
Zhao Ping stepped forward and bowed and said: "Yu Wengweng, you have taught me a lot. Whenever possible, you must learn from Fan Wengong and be neither arrogant nor impetuous."
The attitude must be stated and the position must be correct. Zhao Ping continued:
"Ping'er has long taken Fan Wengong's motto of worrying about the world first and rejoicing after the world's happiness as his motto. He always reminds himself and reflects on himself."
Just attitude is not enough, you must also take practical actions. Zhao Ping proposed a plan.
"Ping'er is planning to open a fairy furnace workshop, a fairy cement workshop, a fairy charcoal workshop, a charcoal workshop, a Zui Chunfeng teahouse, a toothbrush shop, and a toothpaste shop in Jiading."
After speaking, Zhao Ping came to Qin Yulong and bowed deeply: "I hope Uncle Qin will give him convenience."
Qin Yulong couldn't help but be overjoyed. Zhao Ping had come to give him political achievements.
He glanced at Yu Jie gratefully. Although Yu Jie was talking about everyone, he was mainly talking about Zhao Ping.
Without him, the commander-in-chief had already regarded Zhao Ping as a money-spreading boy, and a dignified Jiading manor actually wanted a court official to rescue him.
The more Qin Yulong thought about it, the more frightened he became. Zhao Ping was indeed the savior of Jiading Mansion.
The Hu people besieged Jiading and overwhelmed the Jiading defenders. Zhao Ping made a desperate move and defeated the Hu people's army of 100,000 to ashes. Even the commander himself was captured alive!
It’s no big deal that Zhao Ping was a great fighter. The commander-in-chief took a test of poetry, and when Zhao Ping’s “Qinyuan Chun” came out, he immediately won the hearts of civil servants and generals including Yu Jie!
The supervisor was not convinced and came forward to test the meaning of the scriptures.
After all, poetry is a small way, and classic meaning is the main way.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ping unified Confucianism and Taoism, and then extended it to include poetry, calligraphy, painting, governance and health care, etc., and proposed the theory of balance of all things, which shocked the great Confucian figures including the governor!
Now, Yu Jie indirectly hit Zhao Ping. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ping hit the snake with the stick and opened his mouth to mention seven workshops, which were basically most of the workshops in Zhaojiazhuang.
If these workshops can't bring Jiading up, he, Qin Yulong, might as well resign.
After hearing Zhao Ping's inquiry, Qin Yulong thought for a while and said, "I wonder if it's okay to allocate another five thousand acres of land?"
Zhao Ping thought for a while and said: "Yes, there is no problem with the tea house, fairy charcoal and fairy stove, toothpaste shop, and toothbrush shop, but the fairy cement and coal stone workshops must have corresponding minerals."
Qin Yulong looked at the people in the workshop, and Dianshi from the workshop nodded hurriedly.
Zhao Ping knew that Jiajiang Key was present in both counties, but he could not explain it clearly.
This can only be done by arranging personnel to pretend to detect and then conduct the workshop.
This matter has been resolved satisfactorily, but the extravagance and waste must be explained clearly, otherwise it will be troublesome to leave a bad impression on everyone.
Zhao Ping bowed his hands to Yu Jie, and then said: "Tell me, Marshal Superintendent, that the boy made these luxury goods not to pursue a luxurious life, but to defeat the barbarians?"
Yu Jie and Zhu Wenbing were so angry that they blew their beards and stared at each other. They looked at each other and couldn't help shaking their heads, with disappointed looks in their eyes.
Yu Jie hit him and expressed her attitude. Her performance just now was also remarkable.
Unexpectedly, this boy was so indifferent, yet he was so eloquent.
After all, the two of them were scholars and high-level officials. They sighed and sat on the stools to drink tea.
When Qin Yulong saw Yu Jie and Zhu Wenbing shaking their heads at each other, he couldn't help but said anxiously, "Ping'er, I know you made dishes like fairy taro that have never been made for the sake of Jiading."
He was trying to save face for Zhao Ping, at least in theory.
But his words can convince others, but it is difficult to convince the two big bosses.
After all, the two bosses have been in officialdom for a long time and have insight into people's hearts. Zhao Ping's Zhaojiazhuang luxury goods not only include fairy taro, but also fairy soap, flower fairy, flower fairy soap, etc., and they also launched fairy soap under the noses of the two bosses. Taro dishes.
Zhao Ping bowed his hands to Yu Jie and Zhu Wenbing and said: "Report to the commander, report to the supervisor, please allow me to clarify the situation."
Zhao Ping pointed to the Zui Chunfeng tea and said: "These luxury goods are expensive in the Song Dynasty, but they are even more expensive among the Hu people. These have become a must-have in the homes of the Hu people's ministers and nobles. If the Hu people's homes do not have these luxury goods, they will be People look down upon it.”
Everyone looked at each other, and everyone was sweating. Zhao Ping was not talking about the barbarians, but about themselves.
Indeed, if you are not drunk when a guest comes, how can you take action?
If a woman still uses perfume instead of flower fairy, then you are indeed not on the same level.
If there are still people who brush their teeth with salt, it will definitely make people laugh out loud.
Etc., etc.
Everyone secretly looked at Yu Jie and Zhu Wenbing, but only saw two people with indifferent expressions.
Everyone thought that even if the two bosses didn't need these things, what would their families do?
Thinking of this, everyone felt balanced.
No matter how the salaries of officials in the Song Dynasty depreciated, it was indeed a significant decrease compared with before, but it was still much better than the lives of the common people.
When Zhao Ping saw the expressions of these civil and military officials, he didn't know what they were thinking.
But the target must be shifted to the barbarians, otherwise the two bosses will prejudice themselves even more.
