Chapter 1: Cui Yixuan, the prefect of Qizhou, visits Huangmei!
In May... it is raining yellow plum rain in Huangmei County, Chizhou!
When there is rain, the sky is heavy, and when there is no rain, the sky is heavy.[]
Cui Yixuan's mood at this moment was just like the sky in front of him, with a haze. If Cui Yixuan had the choice, he would never come to this place where the quilt he covered when he was sleeping at night to be the governor.
However, many things in this world can never be achieved by your temper.
.
….
.
.
If you can follow your temper, then when you see the appointment of the governor who asked me to come to this damn place, you should throw the document casually and shout, "I am seriously ill and can't go south!"
For example, when you are in such a bad mood, there is a guy next to you who keeps talking to you like a fly, and you should shout at him viciously, shut up.
However, Cui Yixuan sighed helplessly. It is different from the past! It is not the time for the Supreme Emperor to be still in power. As a confidant of the former crown prince and the King of Qi, it is already good to have a governor. And, most importantly, if you dare to shout that you are seriously ill and unable to be governor, what will Your Majesty do now?
Cui Yixuan didn't know, but Cui Yixuan knew something. The former student Lu Zushang, who dared to say that he was sick and could not go to the governor of Jiaozhou in the south, had been knocked out by His Majesty without hesitation.
Moreover, although this guy around him was long-winded, he had a relationship with him at least. The most important thing is that he was once a confidant of Huang Junhan. Although now that His Highness of Qin ascended the throne, old martial officials like Huang Junhan could no longer hold important positions, after all, Huang Junhan's position as Duke Guo was still there.
Moreover, what's the use of losing his temper at Huang Junhan's confidant now? No matter what, he and Huang Junhan can be regarded as old ministers of martial arts. In the eyes of His Highness of the King of Qin, or His Majesty today, they seemed to be an untrustworthy party. Moreover, compared with Huang Junhan, he, a fence-bearer who rebeled from the King of Qin to the prince and the King of Qi, is even less trustworthy.
"Mr. Cui Yixuan reluctantly cheered up and happened to hear the annoying fly, or Chen Ke, the magistrate of Chen County in Huangmei County, chattered, "Walking straight ahead, you will leave Huangmei County, and then walk along the road to Shuangfeng Mountain. As far as Xiaguan knows, Shuangfeng Mountain has a good scenery. If Mr. Cui is not busy, he can stay for a few more days. Master Daoxin is practicing in Zhengjue Temple in Shuangfeng Mountain. However, Mr. Cui will come all the way, so he should take a break in my Huangmei County first and go to Shuangfeng Mountain tomorrow."
"It's good." Cui Yixuan reluctantly smiled, "Since we are seeing a great monk, we should take a bath and change clothes no matter what, it is not in line with etiquette to rush there with such a dusty life. Let's go to Huangmei County first, have a short rest, and then go to Zhengjue Temple tomorrow morning. What do you think, Ji Xuan?"
"Whatever you say, just do it!" A strong man following him answered without hesitation.
It was almost noon, and it was just around the corner of Huangmei County's market day every half month, and more and more people were rushing to the market. In front of Cui Yixuan and others, the small city gate of Huangmei County was already full of people.
However, what surprised Cui Yixuan was that these black crowds were not crowded around in a mess as he had seen in front of other town gates, but under the command of several yamen runners, they were divided into two teams in an orderly manner, one out and the other in. Not only that, even in the market near the city gate, the flow of people was regular and there was no chaos at all.
"No, good, the people are as flowing as water, and they are in order. I didn't expect you to be able to educate the people in Huangmei County in such a rule." Although I was in a bad mood, after seeing the scene at the city gate, Cui Yixuan nodded repeatedly and turned to Chen Ke and said, "When I was working in the army, I really didn't realize that Chen Ke, you are still so capable!"
"Mr. Cui is too rewarded!" Chen Ke County Magistrate Chen's face showed a hint of embarrassment, "Actually, this matter is not my credit. Before I took office, the people in Huangmei County were already on the market, and they were already like you saw. "
"Oh, is that?" Cui Yixuan asked back with interest, "Since this is not your credit, is Huamu the original county magistrate Li Xi of Huangmei County? But I think he is quite ordinary in the state yamen. Is it because I am not good at using people?"
"What does it have to do with him?" Chen Ke replied bluntly, "He is just a fool.
The reason why Huangmei County has such a trend is the result of Master Daoxin's education, or the contribution of Master Daoxin's master Wukong.
"Oh? Is that true?" When he heard that the scene in front of him was actually related to the target he was on this trip, Cui Yixuan finally felt a little curious, "Then tell me what happened."
"The officials are not very clear about the specific matters, but I heard from the people in the county government that the city of Huangmei County was also a mess. As a result, one day a farmer was stolen two stagnant money in the market, so he couldn't think of hanging himself. Just as Master Daoxin's disciple Monk Wukong passed by. After saving the farmer, he also gave him the money he had converted."
"Monkey Wukong?" Cui Yixuan frowned, "Why am I so familiar with such a name? It seems that I have heard of it somewhere."
"Of course you have heard of it." Before Chen Ke could speak, Ji Xuan whispered to Cui Yixuan, "This time, Your Majesty's will is to summon Master Daoxin and Monk Wukong to the capital. I heard that His Highness of the King of Qin could inherit the great treasure, and Monk Wukong put in a lot of effort in the middle."
"Oh, by the way, by the way, he is the young monk with magical powers in the legend of Chang'an City back then..." Cui Yixuan nodded and turned his eyes to Chen Ke again, "And what did this Wukong do?"
"Then when we arrived at the next time, Monk Wukong brought more than a dozen monks from Zhengjue Temple to maintain the order of the city. He divided the open space on the river beach where the city was located in advance. The mule and horse market near the river was the Mule and Horse market, and the farmers bartered themselves. As for the vendors in the county, they were located further up and closer to the county."
"As for this order of contact, Monk Wukong and others persuaded them to move to the right when they meet."
"Walk on the right?" The strong man next to him interjected after hearing this, "Who goes to the left?"
Yes, Cui Yixuan nodded in his heart... This is also the question he wants to ask.
"When I first heard about this, my thoughts were the same as Brother Ji Xuan, and then I didn't understand until I saw these people leaving." Chen Ke's face showed a strange look, "The right side of the two groups of people coming from south and north is actually not the same."
"Hahaha." Looking at the awkward god on the face of a strong man, Cui Yixuan laughed happily, "And then, did those monks do it when they said it?"
"The people of Huangmei County are simple and have been stationed here for many years. The people are still very convinced by the monks of Zhengjue Temple. In addition, Monk Wukong and others are very good at persuading others. So now these mountain people in Huangmei County may walk wherever they want, but when they are on the market, they will consciously walk to the right."
"In the words of Monk Wukong, it is said that people are interested in the crowd, so as long as they stand in a good team, they will naturally be orderly. If the flow of people is orderly, there will be no chaos. If there is no chaos, there will be no opportunity for thieves to take advantage of, so the market will be harmonious."
"If you are a person, you will be in a position of order, so as long as you stand in a good team, you will naturally be orderly." Cui Yixuan slowly repeated the words of County Magistrate Chen, and nodded with a wry smile, "Yes, as long as you stand in a good team, you will naturally be orderly, but the most difficult thing in this world is to stand in a good team."
County Magistrate Chen looked at the thin middle-aged man in front of him and looked lonely after hearing what he said, not only gently shrank his head. He really couldn't understand why the person who was still very excited just now suddenly turned sharply.
Of course, Hua Hui thought so entirely because he didn't know much about the Xi Yixuan in front of him, whom he called Cui Gong. Although he and Cui Yixuan were both making a living under Li Mi's hands back then, Chen Ke was just a small official in charge of food and fodder expenditure under the general Huang Junhan, Li Mi's general, who was very different from the one in front of him.
This thin Middle Eastern man Cui Yixuan is not an ordinary person. He is a legitimate child of the Cui clan of Qinghe and a thousand-year-old prominent family.
As a result, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was blocked by the prophecy of the Taolizi and joined Li Mi's team. But soon, he found that he was standing in the wrong team and Li Mi could not do it, so Cui Yixuan decided to re-stop the team.
After Cui Yixuan analyzed the nursery rhymes such as Taolizi and Eighteen Childs again, he decided to surrender to Jinyang Li Yuan. However, it was useless to stand by himself, so Cui Yixuan ran to lobby Huang Junhan, the general guarding Baiya at that time, and joined Li Yuan together.
But what Cui Yixuan didn't expect was that Li Yuan didn't take him seriously at all. In fact, if he thought seriously from Li Yuan's perspective, he wouldn't take Cui Yixuan seriously. As the saying goes, one radish is a pit, and Li Yuan's large number of people from the Dragon Radish are still not pitted. How could Erwuzai radish like Cui Yixuan have pitfalls?
For his own pit, it is wrong, and in order to realize his ideal, Cui Yixuan jumped up and down when Li Shimin attacked Wang Shichong, and worked hard to come up with many good ideas. As a result, when Wang Shichong was knocked out, Cui Yixuan realized that because of his active period, he was actually considered the Qin Wang Party by the Crown Prince. Now it seems that His Majesty Li Yuan and Prince Li Jiancheng are both attacking the Qin Wang Party to death.
Seeing that Cui Yixuan did nothing, he offended an emperor and a prince.
The future is bleak! As the saying goes, if you are poor, you will be boundless, and if you change, you will be able to move forward! Cui Yixuan gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. If he doesn't work, he still has to stand in line!
Next, Luobu Cui Yixuan once again ran for his own tricks, and his hard work paid off. He finally learned Li Yuanji's path and followed Li Yuanji, who was the governor of Yinzhou at the time, to get the position of chief of the governor of Yinzhou. Then, through Qi King Li Yuanji, he tried his best to get along with Prince Li Jiancheng.
Then Cui Yixuan then turned to Emperor Li Yuan to express his loyalty and was recognized through Li Jiancheng's relationship. This time the relationship between the emperor and the prince was completed. Cui Yixuan felt that he could finally make great achievements. Unexpectedly, the sky was a thunderbolt, and the Xuanwu Gate Incident happened.
So, when you lose your investment and bet on the size of the target, you may not win if you press the size together. Maybe you will drive the leopard!
"Stand up, stand up, stand up..." Cui Yixuan muttered this sentence in his heart, "I think of me, Cui Yixuan, now the reason why I have fallen into this is because I have not stood up, right? If I had not stood on the side of the King of Qi to be the chief of the Yinzhou Governor's Office but insisted on standing on the current side of His Majesty, why would I come to this ghost place to be the governor? Even if Huang Junhan was on the side of His Majesty, how could I be like now?"
"Mr. Cui, Mr. Cui" In a daze, Cui Yixuan heard Chen Ke, the magistrate of Chen County next to him calling his name, "Mr. Cui, it's almost noon at this time. Do you think you should eat something nearby first?"
"Okay!" Cui Yixuan nodded to Chen Ke, "I'm not bothering you."
"No trouble, no trouble..." Chen Ke answered repeatedly, "When I was in the army, Mr. Cui was my Chen Ke's superior. Now Mr. Cui is also my Chen Ke's superior in Jizhou, not to mention Mr. Cui is an angel. For love and courtesy, the officials should treat Mr. Cui well."
"Although I am a young Huangmei County, I have a good restaurant. Today I will invite Mr. Cui to taste it. Although I dare not say that it suits Mr. Cui's taste, it can definitely refresh you." Chen Ke led Cui Yixuan to the center of Huangmei County and said with a smile, "I dare to guarantee that you have never seen some of the dishes in it, even Mr. Cui."
"Is that true?" Cui Yixuanqiang smiled energeticly, "I have to wait and see."
The restaurant is not far from the gate of Huangmei County. A few minutes later, Cui Yixuan and the other three were already sitting in the second floor of the restaurant. It was said that it was a private room, but in fact it was a few tables isolated by a screen. The only thing that surprised Cui Yixuan was that this restaurant was not a square table like other restaurants, but a few Huchuáng with backrests next to a large round table.
"It's rare to have such a restaurant." Cui Yixuan looked at the interior decoration 1
He said without comment. Although Hu Chuáng with a backrest is rare, he has never seen him before. Even he has many of his own mansions in Chang'an.
The restaurant was very fast. After less than a minute Cui Yixuan and Chen Ke sat down, a tightly wrapped jar had been brought up. Then.
Three copper basins with charcoal fire were brought in, and in the middle of the copper basin, it was boiling.
The soup was white. Immediately afterwards, some raw shrimps, bamboo shoots, lettuce and raw meat slices were brought up.
""Mr. Cui, the fresh dishes I mentioned are this kind of thing, called hot pot.
Chen Ke showed Cui Yixuan with a proud look on his face, "Just pick up the lettuce next to him, put it in the soup, and once it is boiled, you can dip the seasoning and eat it.
As he said that, Chen Ke ordered two small plates next to the lettuce with his hand, ""These are seasonings, this kind of fresh and salty, this kind of slightly sweet, this kind of slightly sour, this kind of spicy. As the saying goes, it is difficult to mix with everyone, Cui Gong can also mix these seasonings by himself to create a satisfying taste.,.
""Bitran is an interesting way to eat., Cui Yixuan learned from Chen Ke and took a bite, and nodded slightly, "It's hard for the owner of this store to be the one.,.
"In fact, this hot pot is also the idea that Monk Wukong came up with.
Chen Ke brought over a cup of wine beside him and poured a glass for Cui Yixuan, ""The owner of this store died of illness and his business was getting worse. The owner's wife finally had no choice but to listen to someone's rumors, but she kowtowed to Zhengjue Temple step by step and asked Master Daoxin to send someone to the store to chant scriptures and pray for blessings.
""Yeah?,.
Cui Yixuan felt that his curiosity was suddenly suffocated, "Then what?," "Then Master Daoxin sent several of his high-level players to come down the mountain to recite scriptures and pray for blessings, but the business of this restaurant was still getting worse day by day. Finally, Master Daoxin sent Monk Wukong. As a result, after Monk Wukong came here, he first walked around the nearby area, then went around the kitchen, and then tasted the dishes here, and said something unexpected., "What are you talking about?,.
Cui Yixuan's eyes fell on Chen Ke and he mopped the wine glass in front of him.
"Monkey Wukong hahahahahahaha.
Before Chen Ke could say it, he laughed happily first, "Monkey Wukong,.
"He said, in my opinion, your hotel business is not a problem for the Buddha. Instead of asking for the Buddha's guarantee, you should ask your chef to make the dishes so that people can eat.
At this moment, a crisp answer came from outside the screen, ""Mr. County Master, how can you always make fun of me, a little girl?,.
As she spoke, a charming little lady walked in with a plate of cut mutton. She was wearing a tight long skirt, but she was wearing a loose coat on her waist and a green belt, which made her look more and more curvy. There was a two bright red mouth on her face, and there was no special makeup tie.
""Mr. Cui, this is what I just said, "I bowed to Yang Xiao from Shuanglin Temple one step at a time."
Madam," Chen Ke smiled and introduced Cui Yixuan, " "For the rest, please ask Mrs. Yang to tell you about the rest. " "Oh, Chen County Zun really doesn't look like a parent. Every time he entertains a distinguished guest, he will make fun of me. The shopkeeper Yang Niang generously placed a few plates of meat on his tray on the table, " "Just say it, anyway, no one in Huangmei County doesn't know the story of me, a little fat sheep. " "Little fat sheep?" Cui Yixuan asked strangely, "What does this mean?,.
""It's the name of my shop?", Xiao Madam Yang pushed the meat plate he put down at Cui Yixuan and the others, ""It was also named by Master Wukong, saying that this name was the best name he found after repeated deductions by Zhou Yi. But according to me, he gave this name purely to take advantage of me.
After looking at the slightly fat lady Yang, who could still be said to be bright and radiant, and then think about the name Xiaofei Yang. Cui Yixuan fully recognized the last sentence that Mrs. Yang said.
"Later, I changed a few more chefs. After each change, I would ask Master Wukong to take a look. In the end, he said helplessly, "Little Lady, Xiao Ni thinks not only Xiao Ni, but even Buddha thinks that this is no longer a problem for individual chefs. It is better to open a restaurant that does not require half a kitchen.,.
Xiaon, after hearing this title, Cui Yixuan felt his eyes twitching.
""No need for a cook?,.
Which big man named Ji Xuan sitting next to Cui Yixuan asked, "What restaurant can do without a chef?"
"Yes, I asked him back in this way, and then Master Wukong began to teach us in detail how to make this thing called hot pot. Well, it was the thing that several distinguished guests saw. The distinguished guests had a nourishing chicken soup pot, which was made of good pheasants and some nourishing medicinal materials, which was the most polite to nourish the body.
"Our is a nourishing chicken soup pot, what do you mean is there any other pot?,.
"Of course, Master Wukong has passed down seven or eight recipes, including seafood pot, bone pot, mushroom pot, etc. If the guests have time, they might as well come to me to try other things tomorrow. As he said that, Mrs. Yang lightly adjusted the thin plates of mutton she brought with her hands.
""Discuss, please use these mutton first, and the meat will not be eaten after a while. If Chenxianzun needs anything, you can call the bell and I won't bother the guests., ""This mutton is cut into a unique way.,.
Cui Yixuan looked at the mutton rolls in the plate and said with a smile.
"Well, before cutting these mutton, you must put them in the ice cellar and freeze them, otherwise you won't be so thin. Chen Ke gave Cui Yixuan the same old meal, " "Mr. Cui quickly eat it, but the meat is soft and it will not be delicious.
I don’t know if it was because I had eaten food that I had never eaten before, or because I heard this interesting thing. Cui Yixuan felt that her mood was much better. After a smile, she gently picked up a piece of mutton and put it down in the soup pot in front of her.
""I heard you talk for a long time, but I really want to meet this monk Wukong. I just don't know if I can see him when I go to visit Master Daoxin tomorrow.
Well, why do you think that Feng Chuan has finished writing this book? Feng Chuan is not written very clearly, it is the final chapter of the second volume. The title of the last picture Feng Chuan will definitely write the finale!
