Strengthening starts from the county magistrate

Chapter 76 Tie Niu's Pissing Beef Balls

Gu Shouzhi smiled like a spring breeze.

He followed behind Li Tieniu, and seemed to be in a good mood.

In his many years of experience, only two things can make him happy.

One is to read, and the other is to treat someone to dinner.

This has nothing to do with money, nor is it greedy, because no matter whether the food is good or not, it is happy.

There is no particular reason for developing such a habit.

However, according to his own analysis, most of them followed his informal teacher.

Enter the yamen and go around to the courtyard behind.

At this time, the dining table was already filled with hot pot ingredients, various dishes, and Cao Zhengxiang bought beef and mutton from the butcher shop.

Poultry is relatively common in Fengjiang, but there are really not many cattle and sheep, so this thing is considered a luxury in Fengjiang.

Gu Shouzhi stopped suddenly, his eyes full of surprise and horror.

It's not because of the strange eating method called 'hot pot' on this table.

It was because he hadn't seen him for a few days, the feeling of Shen Mu now seemed to have undergone a huge change.

"Long time no see, Mr. Gu." Shen Mu raised his head to see the visitor, and greeted him with a smile.

Gu Shouzhi looked at Shen Mu carefully, and then exclaimed: "Master Shen's cultivation speed is really astonishing, but has he entered the realm of ascension?"

It has to be said that Gu Shouzhi's expression was relatively conservative. In fact, what he really guessed in his heart was that Shen Mu had entered the middle martial arts realm.

It's just that no matter how you think about it, it's impossible, after all, the two haven't seen each other for a few days.

"No, I'm still in the Furnace Forge Realm. I just closed and opened up a few Qi Palaces." Shen Mu shook his head, and stretched out his hand to signal Gu Shouzhi: "Sir, please sit down."

Gu Shouzhi's eyelids twitched slightly, thinking he had heard wrong.

How many qi houses were opened, two or three or four or five?

It's been seven days since we parted last time?
suddenly!

He actually sensed a hint of the hidden literary breath!

"Are you... Wen Dao enlightened?"

"Oh, it should be. I read the "Wen Dao Pian" a few days ago, and I found both Wen Dan and Wen Gong Qi Fu, but I haven't had time to open them up yet."

"..." Gu Shouzhi was a little speechless.

Of course he knew about the "Wen Dao Pian" that Shen Mu said, the Tianzi Academy and the Wen Dao Academy in Dali almost had a book in his hand.

But the question is, why didn't he know that reading a book could lead to the enlightenment of the literary way, and open up the palace of literary courage?
If it’s enough to read it a few times, what kind of school do you want to study in such a fart academy?Can't you just buy a book and read it at home?
Unless the savvy is against the sky, it is absolutely impossible.

It is said that 'reading a book a hundred times will reveal its meaning', 'thousands of books, thousands of miles' and so on.

Its meaning is nothing more than to tell the world that there is no shortcut to learning. Most scholars read these sage articles more than a hundred times, and they all started thousands of times.

Of course, Gu Shouzhi didn't know that Shen Mu's "Wen Dao Pian" was different from theirs, because the ones in the Wen Dao ancestral hall were all the mouths of the saints, and they had the saint's literary fortune in them.

Not to mention Shen Mu, anyone, even an ignorant fool, can have an epiphany.

But these heavy trees must not be talked about, otherwise Gu Shouzhi would definitely vomit blood on the spot.

...

The heat of the hot pot has begun to rise.

There was a gurgling sound, and it was finally time to put your favorite dishes in it.

Everyone started to move their chopsticks.

Li Tieniu took the two children and frantically picked up the good ones and put them inside.

"What is this?" Gu Sanyue pointed to a meatball and said, "Why didn't I have it when I ate it before?"

"Fish balls, mince the fish meat and squeeze them into balls." Cao Zhengxiang explained proudly, not forgetting to flatter: "This is a unique hot pot technique passed down by my family. It tastes extraordinary. Fantastic."

"Ouch." Xin Fan yelled, his mouth burning: "Old Cao, what's the matter with this different color? Why are you still screaming?"

Cao Zhengxiang stretched out his orchid finger, and gave Xin Fan a brain-pinch: "That's called...cough, pissing beef balls, the beef is ground, and the inside is left empty. When it is cooked, there will be soup inside, so it may splash out when you bite."

"Pissing cow balls?" Xin Fan grinned: "Damn it, it can't be the urine of the iron cow!"

"...!"

"...?"

In a word, the audience was silent.

It seemed that he lost his appetite in an instant. Since then, no one wanted to eat the beef balls except Shen Mu and Li Tieniu during the whole meal.

...

Full of wine and food.

The scholar's face had endless aftertaste. This was the most interesting meal he had eaten in decades.

"Master Shen is a wonderful person. Obviously we eat these things every day, but if you eat them like this, it will completely change the taste."

Shen Mu couldn't deny it.

After all, hot pot was created only after 5000 years of in-depth understanding of food.

"Since Mr. Gu thinks it is good, then this will be the standard cuisine in the academy cafeteria from now on, and it should be very popular."

Gu Shouzhi turned his head and looked at him seriously: "Master Shen...you won't be serious, will you?"

"As I said last time, I definitely want to build an academy. Children in Fengjiang must study."

As a county magistrate (mayor), he definitely wants his city to develop in an all-round way and become the center of the world, whether it is education, economy, or mainstream practice.

Now these are all decided by the great sect of the great dynasty.

However, the future in Shen Mu's heart must be Feng Jiang leading the trend of the whole Haoran world!

Of course, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and many grand blueprints need to be taken step by step.

After the minimum food and clothing needs are solved first.

This is the beginning of concrete gradual improvement.

"Academy...it's actually not as simple as you think." Gu Shouzhi was surprised by Shen Mu's ambition. Who would have thought that a county magistrate in Fengjiang would want to become the center of the whole world? Emperor Dali probably never thought of such a thing. He pondered:

"Academy is the inheritance of Xuegong. Almost every dynasty in every continent in the world has established Xuegong Academy, but the premise is that there are enough seeds for reading, and there are resources and abilities to cultivate them."

"Of course, you can grab a handful, don't worry."

"..." Gu Shouzhi was speechless, wasn't he talking nonsense with his eyes open?

It's been almost a month since he came to Fengjiang. Doesn't he know if there are any seeds for reading?
And how poor they are, food and clothing are problems, saying this is not a swollen face to pretend to be fat.

"Don't worry." Shen Mu is very confident, just kidding, Wen Jiang's ancestral hall is just kidding with you? "Mr. Gu, there is a piece of news that I don't know whether it is true or not, so today I want to ask if it is true."

Gu Shouzhi sighed, and nodded without waiting for Shen Mu to say anything.

"I know what you're going to ask. It's true. The academy is going to release a second academie in Dali. It's just that it's very difficult. You have to know how many competitors you have to face."

"Oh, as long as it's true, tell me about the competition conditions."

"..."

"I will rebuild the ancestral hall as soon as possible, and then I will ask my husband to give lessons to the children."

"Since I promised you, Gu will naturally do it."

...

night.

On the way back, Gu Shouzhi couldn't help but glance at the dark night sky.

He sighed helplessly in his heart.

In the final analysis, the fact that Xuegong was in Dalijian No. [-] Academy was also because of his teacher who did everything wrong.

The Tianzi Academy in Beijing may not be able to accommodate them.

No way, who let me be a student, I always have to worry about it.

"It might be a good thing if you can really go to Fengjiang."

Gu Shouzhi comforted himself leisurely...
