It seems that I am still too full [travel]

Dongcang Academy is taken from "Looking at Jieshi in the east to view the sea", and this refers to the geographical location of the academy.Dongcang Academy is located at the foot of Longfeng Mountain, the highest mountain in the north of Le County, backed by towering mountains and facing the vast East China Sea. According to the victory of mountains and seas, it is a truly beautiful place.It is said that the predecessor of the Academy was donated by the government during the Northern Liang Dynasty. Emperor Liang Ren of the Southern Liang Dynasty even gave the gate of the imperial book. Unfortunately, the Academy was destroyed in the war at the end of the Liang Dynasty and was abandoned for many years.

Until more than 40 years ago, it was rebuilt by the great Confucian Li Shufu. Li Shufu was born as a scholar in the dynasty. Unfortunately, he could not be reused in the court. He resigned soon and gathered with his close friends Xiong He and Liu Tingfang to give lectures here.Now the head of the mountain is Han Ji, the only disciple Li Shufu took in in his later years.The Han family is a prominent family in the southeast. After Han Ji became Li Shufu's closed disciple, he donated money and land. The academy has been expanded from a dozen or so houses to a garden-like institution covering an area of ​​nearly [-] mu.

On this day, Cen Yu happened to be in the academy to deal with the accumulated affairs due to a trip to the state capital. After a while, he planned to take a break from the meeting, but suddenly he slapped his head, remembered something, and told the little servant who was waiting on the side: "Today Song Xi When the old gentleman comes to visit, two tables of meals are indispensable at noon. The old gentleman reminisces about the old days. On the way, he read to me several times the cooking skills of Xie Chef when he first visited the academy. You can go to the cafeteria and say something to Chef Xie. .”

The little servant called Panda'er, he was born with delicate features, and as Cen Yu's personal servant, he was usually a smart and obedient boy, but when he heard this, his face showed embarrassment, "Mr. Oh, the chef Xie has been fired by the manager for embezzling public funds." Cen Yu was surprised, "Then Xie Da has been in the academy for nearly 20 years, and he is not a criminal, but what? Difficult?"

The servant said flatteringly: "The officials are really good at predicting things. The scholar Xie's family is seriously ill and almost has to do some white things. The cook Xie moved the money to see the doctor and buy medicine for the scholar. Except for him, let the little one ask you if you want to report to the police."

Cen Yu sighed, and waved his hands, "Beyond legal principles, I can be sympathetic. Since I made a mistake to save the children in my family, I didn't sue the officials, lest I get the reputation of being aggressive and bullying. As for the money, it's not much. There is no need to ask for it, it can be regarded as a condolence fee from the academy."

The little servant responded, and heard Cen Yu ask: "Who is the chef of the canteen now?"

The boy replied: "Now the temporary head chef is Lu Jia, the former deputy."

Cen Yu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have a good impression, but since he was the chef's deputy, he thought he had some skills as the chef, so he waved him to the cafeteria to spread the word.

Just as this room was saying this, another handsome servant came from outside, "Officer, the Xie family scholar, Xie Sheng, is seeking to see you outside."

Cen Yu was overjoyed, saying that Cao Cao and Cao Cao would be there soon, he asked the boy with a smile, "What does Xie Sheng look like, but he is indeed as handsome as Wei Jie, and as handsome as Pan An? How can I compare with that Xie Pan An?" beautiful?"

What Xie Shi didn't know was that apart from his fondness for food, Cen Yu also had another hobby that is not easy to spread, that is, he loves looking at beauties. The beauties, and even the little servants around her are all above-average in appearance.And he has heard for a long time that Xie Shi has the appearance of Wei Jie and Pan An in ancient times, but unfortunately he has never met, and today he can finally see him.

That little boy is eloquent, "Don't make fun of me, the official. The official is naturally a dragon and a phoenix among the people, with a dignified appearance, so there is no need to compare his beauty with others. But the young one is really good. With such a vulgar appearance like a small one, I dare not stand in front of people, otherwise I would look like a farmer in the mountains standing next to the fairy! I think only a man with a manly appearance like an official can walk with him."

Cen Yu laughed loudly: "You speak better than anyone else, and you will be rewarded later! Invite people in quickly."

But after a while, a young man in long jade came slowly from the courtyard to the hall. He was wearing a black scarf on his head, a wide-sleeved blouse with azure crepe, and a green silk tie around his waist. Long spikes and palace sash vaguely outline a very thin waist, silk shoes and clean socks under the feet, and then look closely at the eyebrows and eyes, the eyebrows are beautiful and long like mountains and forests, and the eyes are like autumn waters with a smile. At this time, he has just recovered from a serious illness, especially with a few traces of sickness. , which added to the feeling of being weak and noble, Cen Yu was full of admiration in his heart, and there was a bit of enthusiasm on his face.

"Please sit down, Xie Sheng. I have heard of Xie Sheng's reputation for a long time. Now I see him, he is really bright and clear, and he is a good-looking talent. It's a pity that I couldn't make friends with him before. Fortunately, I finally got what I wanted. I am so happy!"

When Xie Shi came in from the outside, he saw a smiling young man of 25 or [-] years old standing in the hall, dressed in a purple silk robe, wearing a ray scarf on his head, shaking a feather fan in his hand, he thought he was romantic, with a pair of fox eyes. Born shrewd, with this fan, he can be said to be a talented person with a bit of a fool inside, Xie Shi thought to himself, could this be a fan of Mr. Zhuge Kongming.

Xie Shi presented the food box, cupped his hands and said: "I thank you, Xie Ju's son, I take the liberty to pay a visit, and please forgive me. This is a new type of pastry made by Xiaosheng's family, please accept it."

As soon as Cen Yu heard that it was a new type of pastry that was not available outside, he became interested, so he opened the food box regardless of being rude or not, and saw that there were three layers inside, with six flower-shaped pastries on the first layer. The colors ranged from beige to light Green and golden, the golden one needless to say, should be the use of sweet-scented osmanthus. At this time, a refreshing fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus hits the nostrils.

Cen Yu pointed to the off-white pastry, and asked curiously, "What kind of pastry is this?" The fragrance was familiar but could not be recalled at the moment.

When I thanked him, I told him one by one: "The beige cake is Longjing tea cake. The filling has Longjing tea powder mixed with kidney bean paste, which is refreshing and relieves greasy. The milky yellow cake is bergamot cloud cake, which is the filling of bergamot. The mung bean cake has a fruity and citrus aroma and is golden in color. This Naidan osmanthus cake is filled with sugar osmanthus filling. All three kinds of cakes can be eaten as refreshments."

Cen Yu said with a smile: "Tea, fruit, and flowers are delicious in three colors. It can be described as an ingenious idea. Even I think I have tasted all kinds of food, but I have never seen the practice of using tea in cakes. I didn't expect Chef Xie to have such a good taste in cakes." good workmanship."

Xie Shi shook his head, said with a faint smile: "This is not my father's work, but a small student's handiwork."

Cen Yu was surprised, and saw that the beauty in front of him was smiling and calm, without the aloofness that ordinary scholars call a gentleman far away from the kitchen, as if for a scholar who has read poetry and books, cooking and making pastries is a trivial matter.Only then did he realize that the young man in front of him was not only exceptional in appearance, but also possessed a dignified and calm demeanor. If he hadn't known that he came from a poor family, he might have thought that he was a son of a noble family cultivated by the northern Zanying family .

Cen Yu's affection for this Xie Sheng immediately doubled in his heart, and he wished he could consider him a bosom friend. "Really?! Then I want to have a good taste of Xie Sheng's handicraft!" He casually picked up a piece of Longjing tea cake, swallowed it down, the fragrance of the tea overflowed, and the spring seemed to melt on the tip of his tongue. The tea powder made from Yuqian Longjing tea, Mingqian Longjing tea is particularly sweet, but its aroma is better than Yuqian Longjing tea, which has such a mellow tea taste and long aftertaste.

The aroma of steamed rice blends with the aroma of tea, clearing greasy and fat-resolving, and the rice cake melts in the mouth with a lingering aftertaste.After taking another bite, the cyan filling in the middle is revealed. The green and white match, green and elegant, very elegant. Cen Yu knew that this tea cake must be very popular among Confucian scholars.

The other two cakes are also full of color and fragrance. The bergamot cloud cake is slightly sour and sweet, appetizing like citrus, and the skin made of mung beans brings a soft and sandy taste. I don't know how Xie Shi handled it. The pastry does not have the bitterness of petals, but only retains the strongest floral fragrance. The sweet-scented osmanthus in the middle is runny, and it is sweet but not greasy, and the lips and teeth are fragrant.

Cen Yu couldn't stop eating, and after he had tasted one of each kind, he realized that he was too busy eating and left everyone else aside.Fortunately, the servant, Panda'er, was a smart ghost. Seeing that the owner was eating without hearing anything outside the window, as if immersed in some sweet dream, he hurried to add another pot of tea to the guest, and laughed a few words beside him.

"Ahem, I made Xie Sheng laugh! The tea is really delicious!"

The things he made are liked by others, Xie Shi naturally wouldn't blame him, after all, he knew his level of craftsmanship, "It's good that Cen officials like it."

Cen Yu waved his hand, as if he was a good brother, "You and I are not much different in age, I just pretend to be a few years older than you, we can just call each other, or get closer, you can call me Gu install."

Naturally, Xie Shi would not disappoint, "Xiaosheng's expression is explored."

Cen Yu ate his good food, knew why he came here, and didn't shirk it, so he went straight to the point and said, "My brother Tanwei, is your visit here for your father's business?"

Xie Shi nodded, and then listened to the senior official Cen say: "You don't need to worry, if this is the case, although Xie Chu has done it before, but after all, he has worked hard for the academy for 20 years, and his love is so touching, the academy no longer intends to pursue it. It's just state-owned and national laws, and the academy also has certain rules to make the top and bottom orderly, so I can only dismiss Chef Xie, and please don't be offended. But I have a friend who still lacks a chef. If Chef Xie is interested, I can recommend one for him fan."

Xie Shi was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Dongcang Academy to be so affectionate and righteous. Although dismissal was inevitable, but he was willing to not pursue his fault and provide other job opportunities, which already made people feel good.However, although the Academy has stated that it will not sue the officials, Xie Shi does not intend to accept other people's kindness in vain. After all, the pies that fall from the sky are good, but after all, they are not as safe as the ones made by ourselves.

The experience in his previous life made him used to the fact that only by giving can he get something, and the relationship of benefit exchange is the most stable.So he took out the prescription written last night from his sleeve, got up and handed it to Cen Yu.

"Thank you, Brother Gu'an. My father has done it before, so punishment should be done. The academy doesn't pursue it, and Xiaosheng is grateful for it. There is nothing to repay. The only thing I have is a son, which may be useful to Brother Gu'an. Please don't ask for it." decline."

Cen Yu was puzzled, took the prescription, and saw black and white letters on it, and on the far right was written the seven characters "Brown Sugar and Yellow Mud Decolorization Recipe". He didn't know what yellow mud decolorization was, but the four words brown sugar decolorization were It's easy to understand, but after reading it carefully, I can't help but feel a big shock!
