The team soon arrived at Xuanjin Bridge. Wang Shu turned his head and stared at the Fuhua Building next to him. Looking at the windows of the restaurant, people on the upper floor would look down.
Wang Shu seemed to smell the aroma of the food. He quietly pulled down his brother's sleeve: "Brother, don't you get a lot of money from eating here?"
"Third brother, don't think about these things all the time, study hard, there is a golden house in the book." Wang Laowen advised his younger brother, and after thinking for a while, he asked: "Do you want to eat the food from Fuhua House?"
"Imagine! It must be delicious." Wang Shu admitted.
"Today is too urgent. Tomorrow, I will go and talk to Zhu Lichang." Wang Laowen thought that his brother was about to jump into the trap, and decided to fulfill his last wish.
"He invited us in to eat?" Wang Shu doubted that with so many people, Xiaqiu Village could afford the money.
"Let them cook it tomorrow, and we will eat it. The best food in Fuhua House is taught by Xiaqiu Village, and also by Guanglu Temple in Gongli."
"Huh? Are they so capable?"
"Otherwise, how could I transfer you to a school? You can't look down on me anymore. Dad was given the medicine for his illness, and you haven't thanked me yet. After dinner later, I'll take you to kowtow to the headmaster, will you go?"
Wang Laowen stared into his brother's eyes and asked, wanting to get an answer.
"I, I am a scholar!" Wang Shu's eyes flickered.
"So you have to know the etiquette, otherwise the book will be in vain?" Wang Laowen continued to stare into his younger brother's eyes.
"Then... okay!" Wang Shu finally bowed his head.
"Let's go, don't be stunned. The opposite side used to be a pawn shop, but now it's a library. The west side of the library used to be called Luoyunzhai, which sold the Four Treasures of the Study. Opposite it is the Danqing Store in Xiaqiu Village where we are going to eat."
Wang Laowei pulled his younger brother who was standing still and introduced him forward. They were only a few steps away.
The two walked at the end, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard voices coming from inside.
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin."
Then the people in front of him knelt down one after another. Wang Shu, who didn't know why, was pushed down to his knees by his brother.
"Get up! Why are you kneeling when you carry something? Put the things in, Zhu Lichang. The mooncakes you gave us yesterday were delicious. We like them very much."
Another voice sounded, and the people in front stood up one after another. Wang Shu turned to look at his brother. Wang Laowei nodded and lowered his voice: "Don't talk for a while, the prince and King Qin are here."
Wang Shu trembled all over, feeling scared, surprised, and looking forward to seeing the prince and King Qin.
While the others were putting things away, the two brothers walked forward and saw a group of guards in front, the most prominent of which were three people.
One can tell he is the prince just by looking at his clothes, and the other is...the King of Qin? Plus... Hanhan?
Wang Shu saw the person who should be the prince holding the hand of Hanhan, a fool in Xiaqiu Village, and talking.
"Hanhan, I gave you a bow and arrows and a jade pendant. How can you protect me if you don't hold your bow and arrows? The jade pendant is what you always carry."
With a smile on his face, the prince looked at the village guard who was almost the same age as himself. He was pleasing to the eye when he saw him before, and even more so now.
"Hey! I'm afraid, eh! Hey, hey, hey!" Zhu Wentian wanted to take his hand out.
"Your Highness, Hanhan said he was afraid of losing it, but he didn't mean that he had already lost it." The chief translated at the side.
"I know, I heard it. It doesn't matter if I throw it away. I will give it to you again. Who dares to steal or pick up the jade pendant and sell it? Enter the prince's palace?"
Zhu Biao waved his hand indifferently. The jade pendant does not mean that you can break in directly. It is a tool for calling people to report.
"Then put it on." The chief reached into his arms and took out the jade pendant, and tied it around Hanhan's waist.
The prince showed a satisfied smile and patted Hanhan's shoulder again: "You also need to practice your bow. In the future, you will expand your territory with me. When the time comes, I will make you a duke."
"Yeah! Practice! Bow, hehe!" Zhu Wentian didn't believe a word.
The prince finally let go of his hand, and Zhu Xi interjected: "Go and cook quickly, brother is eating here today."
"This..." The leader hesitated, who would test the poison? How to do it?
"Hungry, eat, rinse, uh uh!" Zhu Wentian knew what to do.
"Oops! I'm being honest, let's eat hot pot." The manager realized, yes, there won't be any problems with this.
The seasonings can be put in a big bowl and everyone scoops them onto their own plates. The hot pot items can be rinsed in the same pot and taken out to share.
The person in charge of the kitchen immediately made arrangements. The headman brought out the tea and was in trouble again.
"Brew directly, I can trust you." Zhu Biao told the other party how to do it.
Wait for the water to boil. First, wash the tea set with boiling water, then put the tea leaves, pour the boiling water, drain the water after a while, and then pour the water.
He poured four cups of tea, one of which belonged to Hanhan. The village wouldn't poison the villagers to death, right?
Wang Shu sat not too far away, with only half his buttocks, his legs together, his hands twisted together, his shoulders hunched, his head slightly lowered, sweat dripping from his forehead.
He has decided to find an opportunity to thank the village chief for saving his father, and he no longer dares to look down on the people of Xiaqiu Village just because he is a scholar.
Zhu Biao didn't care about the others at all, the guards just watched.
He smiled and asked the village chief: "When I return to the village during the Mid-Autumn Festival, will there be any changes in the village?"
"Return to the Crown Prince and ask. There are changes and no changes in Xiaqiu Village. For changes, the crops know the autumn, and they will be ripe or longer; the chirping insects will know the autumn, and they will disappear or disappear. And the life span of a person is not one spring and one autumn. It’s increasing day by day, but you don’t notice it.
If a short-lived flower appears, it only lasts for a moment; if people don't do anything that day, they will wait for tomorrow. The villagers expressed their gratitude that the flowers were blooming and falling, but time did not wait for me. Therefore, if you remain diligent tomorrow, it will remain unchanged. "
The lieutenant replied that he and Hanhan studied every day and could not answer the prince in simple words: There is no difference.
"Good! What doesn't change is that diligence remains the same; what changes is that the seasons cycle. What changes is like the sun rises and sets; what doesn't change, the sun sets and the sun rises."
Zhu Biao understood that whether it was vegetation, insects, or people, they were actually changing every day. What should not change was the will to work hard and the determination to do things seriously.
Wang Shu suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Chang, his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, frightened.
Is this the existence that I despise as a scholar? I can't say such a thing myself.
"What His Highness said is true. Plants, trees and people are all undergoing changes." The chief agreed.
"What's the difference between plants and people?" Zhu Biao asked again.
"Vegetation and trees change according to people's wishes, but people do not change their will due to changes in vegetation. This means that in the villages below, crops increase in yield due to people, and people do not eat less because crops consume fertilizer."
People's business lies in inheritance, learning and thinking. Find the origin of everything in the world, follow it, and change it.
"The Book of Rites" says: The ritual of a great meal is to use Xuan wine but fishy fish, and the big soup is not harmonious and has a lingering smell.
There are so few cooking methods! Use less salt! Later generations will get salt to enhance the taste.
So he picked up sea stones to get salt for use, scraped rocks to get salt for use, and extracted brine to boil salt for use.
Another example is the lack of fertilizer in paddy fields, so phosphorus stone and bitter salt are used to make the crops flourish. Looking for the root cause, and then changing, people are different.
Using tools to plow the fields and using animals to lead them are the skills of making tools and the skills of keeping animals in captivity. Using all things for one's own use is different from person to person. "
The chief continued to answer, telling the prince that the most powerful thing about people is to study things and change the living environment.
