Chapter 8 Why do you need Chinese food on a plate? (Part 1)

After walking out of the study, Chen Yue felt a little depressed and took a few deep breaths. Thinking from his father Chen Li's words, he must have just finished the bond recently. It was probably because of his own broken things, which made the atmosphere of the middle school not very strong. In a few days, the Lantern Festival will be the one that can't destroy the atmosphere anymore.

Later generations often regarded the Chinese Valentine's Day as Chinese Valentine's Day. In fact, in ancient times, the Lantern Festival should be called "Valentine's Day". On this day, large lantern festivals were often held in various parts of the Central Plains, with fire trees and silver flowers, and the streets were bustling. The scene was grand and warm and even better than the New Year. Su Weidao, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, praised the poem: "Fire trees and silver flowers are in harmony, and the iron locks of the star bridge are opened. The dark dust follows the horse, and the bright moon comes to pass by people. The prostitutes all bring plums, and the singing is all falling plums. Jinwu can't help but the night, and the jade leaks do not urge each other."

In the traditional society of ancient times, the Lantern Festival provided an opportunity for unmarried men and women to meet each other. In ancient times, young girls rarely had the opportunity to go out for free, but they could go out to play together during the festival. Appreciating lanterns on the Lantern Festival is a chance to be a friendship. Unmarried men and women can also find a partner for themselves by the way of enjoying lanterns. During the Lantern Festival, it is another time for young men and women to meet their lovers.

Therefore, the Lantern Festival can be said to be the authentic Chinese Valentine's Day, not the imaginary Chinese Valentine's Day. The traditional opera Chen San and Wu Niang met while watching the lanterns on the Lantern Festival and fell in love at first sight. Princess Lechang and Xu Deyan reunited on the Lantern Festival. In "Spring Lantern Riddle", Yuwen Yan and Ying Niang were in love at the Lantern Festival. This is an example.

"It's time to find an opportunity to meet that future wife." Chen Yue walked towards his yard while thinking about his thoughts.

Just a few steps away, Chen Qi, who had just come out of the study room, leaned over from the side, and whispered: "Fifth Brother, when did you learn this trick? I will teach me?"

"Practice more, copy more, and if you don't know anything, just ask me if you don't know." Chen Yue answered casually, continuing to walk towards his yard.

Seeing that Chen Yue didn't agree to him, Chen Qi lowered his face and said, "Oh, Fifth Brother, don't go around in circles. What technique do you use today? How can you write the words even the old man see? Do you remember that you went out to play and miss your homework two months ago, and you asked me to help you do it. What? After learning tricks today, you ignore your past grace?"

Chen Yue was stunned. It turned out that this kid was fooled by learning tricks. No wonder he had no good habit of humbly asking for advice.

He coughed and seemed to be the elders educating their younger generations. "Seventh brother, this is the only way to learn in this way, "There is a path to study, and the sea of ​​learning is endless, and the boat is hard to make a boat." How can there be a shortcut to tricks? You need to know that 'the proficiency is diligent and wasteful is to play'. Don't think about any opportunistic things, and practice calligraphy with peace of mind."

Chen Qi rolled his eyes wide when he heard this, and thought to himself that the whole family is qualified to tell you this sentence. Now it's time to educate me. Just as I was about to speak, a sarcastic voice came from the corner of the door ahead:

"I thought it was someone who was teaching others, but I didn't expect it was the fifth brother. Why did the sun come out from the west? Even the fifth brother knew that 'the career is good at diligence and play', and it was really a great blessing for my Chen family!" As he spoke, a man came out from behind the door, but he was the son of Chen Yue's second uncle, Chen Yu, the second among his peers.

Chen Yue frowned when he heard this: "I don't know what advice my second brother has."

Chen Yu was stunned. The prodigal son's reaction today was wrong. When he encountered this situation, he either went away in anger or walked away angrily. Today, he asked back without being humble and without saying a word, with a demeanor.

"I dare not take it as a teacher. I am not like you. It would be fine if I don't do my job properly, but I still have the face to 'instructions' others."

"Since I have no shame to come and give advice, I will go back to my room first. Please forgive me." After that, Chen Yue bowed to Chen Yu and Chen Qi and walked towards his room.

Chen Yu stood there with anger and his face turned red, but after the other party said lightly, the person left, and it was not easy to catch up and argue. After a long time, he snorted and left.

Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, almost laughed out loud, and then looked at Chen Yu with some gloating pleasure. This second brother often pointed at them with some talent in his studies, looking condescending. It was really annoying and was so happy to see him being defeated. But what happened to the fifth brother today? It was very different from before, and he thought about it with a little thought.

When Chen Yue returned to the yard, he saw that the little maid Huan Xianer had already come back and was cleaning the room. His two slender white and tender arms were dragging a big bucket into the room. It was a little difficult, so he walked up quickly.

"Ah, the young master is back."

Chen Yue said "um" and reached out to pick up the bucket from the other party's hand, "I'll do it."

Xian'er quickly took a step back, "No, no, these are the duties of my family. How can the young master do such a thing?"

Chen Yue didn't care about her, snatched the bucket with his right hand, and slapped the girl's delicate buttocks with his left hand. This time the movement was a little lighter, and the touch was more intuitive. Well, the feel was pretty good.

"Ah..." the little maid shouted softly, blushed and covered her little butt with her hands, and was embarrassed for a moment.

"I said there are not so many rules here for the young master, otherwise I will be 'punished' next time." As he said that, he carried the bucket into the house. Unexpectedly, he only took a few steps, which made him a little difficult. "This body is too weak, so it's time to exercise."

After entering the room, he put the bucket in. Chen Yue ignored it when cleaning and scrubbing, and let Xian'er do it. He came to the desk to work on the pen and ink and copy the "Book of Filial Piety".

If you have to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" twice, even if you copy it in small regular script, it is not an easy task. You may have to stay at home and copy books in the next few days.

After more than an hour, it was getting darker. Chen Yue moved his arms, which were a little sore, and attracted the little maid: "I'm a little hungry, so I'll arrange to cook a few side dishes in the kitchen. Let's eat them in the room."

Xian'er responded and went to arrange the meal. After a quarter of an hour, she ran back and said to him with a pout, "Young Master, you're making fun of me again. The chef in the kitchen said that only the chef in Kaifeng can cook this. There is no place to eat cooking in Hangzhou."

"What? Only Kaifeng can cook?" Chen Yue carefully recalled the food he had eaten in the past few days. He was either steamed or cooked. He had never eaten stir-frying. However, he still had some questions. This is the most popular cooking method in later generations. No one in Hangzhou knew about it at this time? "Can it be that the chef was lazy and didn't want to make it, and deliberately lie to you?"

"It shouldn't be true. I have never heard of how to use stir-fry dishes since I was a child. If the young master hadn't told me today, I wouldn't know the word stir-frying."

In fact, Chen Yue didn't understand this. The common method of cooking, a Chinese dish, had just appeared in the Song Dynasty, and at the beginning, only a few Kaifeng chefs could do it. Although their skills were far from being compared with later generations, these chefs, without exception, regarded cooking as a secret of family traditions. It was not until the Song Ting moved south after Jingkang that the method of cooking really spread.

In other words, any Chinese who knows how to cook and cook in the future will be a top chef when they come here.

So if you accidentally travel through time, you can't find a place to use the poems you copied, and you can't use the history you remember for a while, it doesn't matter, finding an opportunity to cook two dishes, making a fortune and achieving prosperity is not a dream.

Chen Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Then Master, I will cook two dishes for you to try today."
