The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 245 The Birth of the Gourmet Column

Because the dissemination of ancient information takes a certain amount of time, after about five or six days, people began to come to Zheng Ping's door, and the number gradually increased. Zheng Ping was reminiscing with old acquaintances every day.

Many children were not very old when they parted. After seeing the news directly or indirectly, they felt novel and excited in their hearts.Although we haven't seen each other for many years, I don't remember much about those years, but everyone still cried when they met.

Luckily, Yunyan organized a party and invited all the people who came up so far to a restaurant.

The scene after the meeting was indeed touching. When mentioning the past, everyone shed tears.

Li Zeyun followed along to record, and actually cried a few times.

Seeing Li Zeyun crying all the time, Yunyan went numb, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and handed it to him to wipe away tears.There's no way, Li Zeyun's own one has long since been wiped so that it can't be used.

"Woooo..." Li Zeyun wiped his tears and said, "Sir, when I go back these few days, my wife is wondering why my eyes are swollen."

Li Zeyun's wife didn't dare to ask at first, thinking that he had been wronged at work, and was afraid that asking would hurt his self-esteem.

"Haha, the people who read your report cried just like you did." Yun Yan laughed back.

Li Zeyun has published three reports on this matter in the past few days, and one is a follow-up report on the search for rice cakes.

The editor-in-chief didn't ask him to do it at first, but he was really touched that day. After he went back, he wrote a report with sincerity.

The editor-in-chief felt that their "Tokyo Daily", as the first and only official media in the Song Dynasty, should not only stand on a high ground to reflect social phenomena, but also focus on these small details, which also showed the folk customs of the Song Dynasty.

As a result, this report was indeed very popular when it was published, and it touched many people deeply and caused many tears.When Yunyan learned about the reaction from Li Zeyun, she was a little surprised at first, but then she understood.

People in this era are limited to living standards and are more "sentimental", because their communication is different from modern people, and their parting is even more different from modern people.

Therefore, the "missing" described in the article is empathetic to everyone, and has had a similar experience, so this subject matter is very grounded.

Coupled with the miraculous role played by the "Tokyo Daily", you can see that through a piece of news published in the newspaper, two people who have not met for decades, and even those who were only customers and vendors back then, are connected. A trivial but elusive wish... For them, this is a wonderful miracle.

Thin paper can speak to the world and carry the vision and happiness in people's hearts. It can be said that this is not only a touching story, but also an extremely successful marketing, which fully embodies the "Tokyo Daily" "'s influence, once again elevating its status.

After reading the report, many people became interested in this story. Some of them visited the old man Fan, and some even asked him how to make rice cakes that can be remembered for so long.

Immediately afterwards, the follow-up report of the missing person in Salesian Village also came out, and the long-lost partners reunited after a long absence, which was even more fascinating.Everyone who hadn't seen each other for so long reunited because of a reason.

——I heard that some people have already moved to other places. Although they don't read newspapers, some local people are loyal readers. After seeing it, they mentioned this to other people and let them know.Although this person could not be there in person, he sent a letter to the address left in the notice.

Those who were still on the sidelines came to the "Tokyo Daily" one after another, hoping to fund and publish various announcements.

They all have people and things they want to find, some are like Zheng Ping, who want to find friends who were lost many years ago, some are like Fu Yunfeng, who can't forget a certain food that is no longer there, and some even log out the clues , claiming to have lost a child many years ago with some kind of birthmark somewhere, what if the child could see it?

Li Zeyun became famous because of those reports, and many people also said that they liked the rice cake news he wrote the most.His wife also cried a lot after seeing the news, and then she realized why her husband came back with red eyes every day.

Li Zeyun wiped his tears and said, "Sir, our editor-in-chief said that we are considering creating a column dedicated to reporting on the more interesting follow-ups of missing people and objects."

"It's a good thing, did he ask you to be the lead writer?" Yun Yan replied with a smile.

"You guessed it? Yes," Li Zeyun wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, "I'm afraid, you said, if I keep doing these things in the future, will my eyes be healed?"

"Then let me point you in another direction." Yun Yan replied solemnly.

Li Zeyun scratched his head, "What direction?"

Yun Yan replied: "I heard that after your news appeared in the newspaper, many people went to look for Mr. Fan, some of whom were educated, and some who wanted to taste the rice cake at a high price. I also read the report, and I think that apart from the emotion contained in it, In addition to the bonus, it is also because you described the rice cake, and the writing is not bad..."

Li Zeyun faintly felt that he had touched something, "You mean..."

Yun Yan replied: "You might as well apply to be a food column. Although this love-seeking column will be very popular in a short period of time, in the end, food will last forever. Remember the day I told you that food is the most moving thing? ?”

"..." Li Zeyun said numbly, "I thought you were joking."

Yun Yan replied dissatisfiedly: "How can I make fun of food!"

Li Zeyun bitterly said: "Sir, why do you associate everything with food?"

Yunyan choked him back, "Why, you don't want to write?"

Li Zeyun said painfully: "Sir, I still want to write a report that can be remembered and has a greater impact..."

This is also understandable. At Li Zeyun's age, he has ideals. He also told Yun Yan his true thoughts.Although a lot of tears may be shed, no matter how you look at it, this column of seeking love is more connotative.

It is conceivable that there will be a lot of food followers, but Li Zeyun feels that he may be embarrassed to tell others that he is the reporter who wrote this...

Yun Yan let go, humming: "It seems that you and I are not fellow travelers."

Li Zeyun complained: "Who can be a fellow traveler with you... I only have one pair of legs, so I can't walk so much."

"...For the sake of your flattery, I won't talk about you." Yun Yan rubbed her hands back, "But I still think it's a pity, you have great potential in writing food ,Pity!"

The influence of the "Tokyo Daily" is unquestionable, but there is still a lot of untapped potential.Yunyan regretted that Li Zeyun refused to do big things with him, and wanted to make things happen, so she planned to find another writer in her heart.

Think about it, maybe most of the reporters of "Tokyo Daily" have the same idea as Li Zeyun, so it's better to find someone else to play as a hobby, or let them see what is called an eternal hot topic.

"What?! You are Shuangyi? You have changed a lot!" Someone's exclamation attracted Yun Yanhui's attention, and he turned his head to look, but there was a friend over there looking at Shuangyi in surprise.

Shuang Yi took Shen Kuo's arm and nodded reservedly.

That person: "It's really... Long time no see, I'm Ximei, do you remember? At that time, we all liked Saburo and we always quarreled."

Shuangyi: "..."

Shen Kuo: "..."

Shuangyi laughed, "Kids like to play with older children, do you have children? How old are you?" Shuangyi changed the subject, and that girl Xi happily started talking about her children However, Shuangyi was afraid that it would not be safe enough, so he pushed Shen Kuo back to Yunyan.

Shen Kuo reluctantly walked to Yun Yanhui's side, and said sullenly, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

Yun Yan laughed back to death, thinking why Shen Kuo looked like Zhao Yunchu, "How old was Shuangyi at that time? Isn't it just that children like to play and play together, Ximei's words are too exaggerated."

Children also have hobbies, and they are willing to play with popular children. This kind of liking is very pure, just like Zhao Youwu likes to play with little tigers.

Shen Kuo was depressed, and what Yun Yan said was the same, he was petty when he was fussy with children, but Ximei's words really made people uncomfortable.

Yunyan recalled that Shen Kuo's writing style was also very good, and he had a zest for life, so she invited him to write a food review and made a fuss about it.

"...Although we can't open a column for us, we can be a clear stream in the literature and art section, and post food essays there. I will be in charge of the planning, and you will be the editor, and we will eat together..."

Shen Kuo waved his hand, "No, I'm busy."

When Yun Yan wanted to ask what he was busy with, he said, "The military supervisor is busy, and I have to accompany Shuangyi after work..." Shen Kuo whispered a little shyly, "Shuangyi's body has been recuperated."

Yunyan knew the meaning as soon as she heard it, she was planning to have a child.

When Shen Kuo said that, Yun Yan was embarrassed to recruit him when he returned home. He was still waiting to be an uncle, so he put his shoulders on Shen Kuo and said, "Since this is the case, then work hard and strive to be a father next year. Medicine heir, I rest assured you!"

Shen Kuo smiled and nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked cautiously: "Zhufeng, you are not too young..."

Yunyan got permission from Renzong all the way back, so she was even less anxious, "First establish a career and then start a family."

This reason seemed very sufficient for a workaholic, but Shen Kuo always felt something was wrong. He only came to Beijing two years ago, so seeing Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu was a bit weird.

However, how could Shen Kuo say this kind of conjecture, and he didn't dare to mention it at Shuangyi.

At this moment, Shen Kuo is also inconvenient, but the doubts in his heart are getting heavier and heavier.

Yun Yan knew that Shen Kuo and Shuang Yi were preparing for pregnancy, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became. She felt that holding a baby next year should not be a problem, so she decided to prepare some supplies for pregnant women and infants in advance.

……

After the party here ended, it was already afternoon, and everyone vented their emotions. They made an appointment to meet again in the future and bid farewell to each other.

Li Zeyun went back to write the manuscript, Shuangyi and Zheng Ping went back home, and Yunyan went to Kaifeng Mansion.

Half a year is almost here, but Yunyan from the Salesian Bureau didn't want to leave for a while, and couldn't leave, so she decided to stay for another two months and come back after finishing her work.

Therefore, Yunyan had to go to Kaifeng Mansion to go through the formalities when she returned. Anyway, her family lived close, so it was just a matter of passing.

After Yun Yan went back to the mansion to complete the formalities, she went to Zhao Yunchu's study. Zhao Yunchu was looking at the file, saw Yun Yan came back, and said with a smile: "How about the party today?"

"Crying all over." Yun Yan replied relaxedly, "But they all cried with a smile."

The two exchanged with each other what happened today, and Yunyan said that Li Zeyun had gone to pursue his ideals and refused to partner with him to do big things, and Shen Kuo and Shuang Yi were also unwilling to prepare for pregnancy.

Zhao Yunchu is busy with government affairs every day, and his writing style is too dry for describing food, otherwise he would have asked for his life, so he comforted Yunyan and replied: "I will definitely find someone, what a good idea!"

In Zhao Yunchu's mind, he bragged about Yunyan thousands of times, how good it is, to taste delicious food with friends, and then write essays and put them in newspapers, so that all the gourmets in the city will know, how interesting life is!

It's boring to do it alone, at least that's what Yun Yanhui likes. It won't be unpalatable if you taste it alone, but it will be more interesting if you have friends with similar interests.

Yun Yan replied: "Well, I also think, at worst, I'll wait a few more years, Fatty Su will grow up too..."

When Zhao Yunchu heard the second half of his vague sentence, he asked curiously, "What fat man?"

"It's nothing." At this time, Yun Yanhui suddenly heard a familiar voice from outside.

"Old Wang, the fish soup in the morning is short of ginger, I only drank half a bowl, it's too fishy!" Bai Yutang's voice came from a high place.

Old Wang is the cook in the cafeteria. He explained: "Fifth Lord! I don't have enough ginger today, so I put in a little less. It's really just a little bit. Have you tasted it?"

Yun Yan pushed the window open, and saw Bai Yutang sitting on the roof, seriously emphasizing with the cook who was passing below: "How many times have I told you, you must be careful and careful, there is no ginger, why didn't you prepare it earlier?"

Yun Yan replied profusely, "Did he start managing the kitchen while I was away?"

As he was speaking, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Zhao Yunchu.

Zhao Yunchu hesitated and said, "Is this okay? Bai Yutang's mouth...is very poisonous."

Yun Yan replied: "High standard."

Zhao Yunchu asked again: "Then can he write?"

Yun Yan replied: "Anyway, he has written poems, so he has culture."

Zhao Yunchu: "...Then, can he agree?"

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu looked at each other for a while, then turned around and shouted: "Fifth Bai——!"
