Chapter 178 Bamboo Tube Rice ([-])

"Xunzhou." Ji Caimai said, looking at Wen Mingtang's serious face, he thought for a while, and said, "It seems that someone said that your father likes this student, and it seems that there is something else going on."

Having said that, he shook his head, raised his forehead and said, "I can't remember the specific situation. Although people in Chang'an City were talking about your father in those days, I just remembered it when I bought it. Sometimes I don’t know which is which.”

Not everyone who watched the excitement would break the casserole and ask the end. Most people left after watching the excitement and went to do what they should do.

For a person who is in charge of purchasing for the public kitchen all day, figuring out how many ingredients he needs to buy every day is what he should do every day.

Wen Mingtang thanked Ji Caimai, and said: "Ji Caimai can remember a lot of these, then Xunzhou..." When the word "Xunzhou" was mentioned, Wen Mingtang paused, and said, "My father's I don't know most of the students. After his accident, most of the students cut off contact with him for fear of being implicated. However, I have some impressions of this Xunzhou. My father only accepted this Xunzhou as a student not long before the accident. He even praised several times that this student named Xunzhou has excellent aptitude and will become a master in the future!"

Wen Xuance has countless students, and he can count those who can be praised so deliberately on one hand. Of course, this Xunzhou is not bad.Otherwise, after Wen Xuance's accident, he would not be able to switch to Wang He's family.

"Based on my father's feud with Wang He, Wang He will definitely dislike people related to my father. Anyone who can make him make an exception and accept him as a disciple must be a great talent!" Wen Mingtang said.

As for the reason why she could remember this great talent, it was because Riwen Xuance mentioned that the brother-in-law of "Xunzhou" took his elder sister and released him from Chang'an, so as to stay away from those lecherous people and avoid disasters.

Although the original owner didn't quite understand these words, it also left an impression on this "Xunzhou".A few days ago, after Wen Mingtang knew about King Yu's target and past, she thought about it again and again... She probably knew who this "Xunzhou" sister was: probably the wife of Wen Xuance's disciple who was almost robbed by King Yu .

"Although he made enemies everywhere, he helped Xunzhou's elder sister, and he never owed Xunzhou." Wen Mingtang said this with a calm expression, "The truth is in me, and I am not afraid."

That being the case, there is nothing to be afraid of, Ji Caimai nodded, and continued to discuss the ingredients with Wen Mingtang.

……

The days passed, and soon it was the day of Yu Jijiu banquet. As soon as it was daylight, Wen Mingtang rushed to Lishan and began to prepare the banquet.

Most of the dishes and drinks today are "tasted" by Yu Jijiu himself, and only a few new dishes have been added. In order to conform to the elegant preferences of literati, Wen Mingtang, the staple food today, is not as good as before. It is usually cooked in a big pot, but the bamboo is picked out, and a bamboo tube rice is prepared to make a special trip to satisfy the literati's preference for bamboo.

This room, Wen Mingtang was busy in the mountains, and at the foot of the mountain, Yu Jijiu, who had left the city early to pick up people, also received the first wave of old friends who had already arrived in Chang'an.

"Brother Su Qing!"

"Brother Shinan!"

"Brother Jingchu!"

……

The reunion of friends who have been friends for many years is naturally overjoyed.Several carriages were parked at the post station beside the official road, and the people who got off the carriages were eagerly exchanging greetings.

"We hadn't seen each other for ten years! Brother Shinan is still handsome!"

"Where is it, how can it compare to Brother Jingchu's poetic talent? I also heard about the debate a few days ago. I heard that Brother Jingchu was the champion!"

Seeing this group of literati chatting in the street, the passers-by looked here one after another: the content of the conversation was somewhat incomprehensible!

How can Yu Jijiu and the others care about what other people think?After exchanging pleasantries, someone remembered it.

"Where's Wang and that Kuangsheng?" One of them looked around, wondering, "I remember that when Jing was in Jingzhou, he left two days earlier than me, and I thought he might be the first among us to arrive. Why is it this time, people are still in the future?"

Yu Jijiu was also a little surprised when he heard the words, he said: "I don't know there is such a thing! Wang He never came to Chang'an earlier!"

A Confucian scholar at the side heard the words, nodded his beard and said: "With Wang He's arrogant temperament, if I come to Chang'an, I'm afraid there will be a few debates with others, and it will be impossible to cause a sensation!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately echoed them.

"Since Brother Shinan has never heard of it, then Wang He must have not arrived in Chang'an yet!"

Yu Jijiu nodded, and just about to speak, he heard a voice from the official road not far away.

"It's just a few days of sightseeing by water, you don't have to worry about it so much!"

They arrived before the sound of people arriving, and seeing the carriage that appeared at the end of the road, the people who were exchanging greetings looked at each other, and immediately burst out laughing.

"Wang He is Wang He, who else is the one with such an arrogant tone?"

As the carriage at the end of the road gradually approached, when it got closer, everyone realized that the two boys who had followed Wang He in the past did not follow this time, and they were replaced by a handsome boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

When they got to the front of the crowd, the young man who was driving took the reins, jumped out of the carriage, turned around and said respectfully outside the carriage: "Teacher, we're here!"

Everyone who heard the "teacher" was quite surprised, and subconsciously glanced at the young man: When did Wang He accept a new disciple?To even bring it with you on purpose, even to an old friend's banquet?It seems that Dang is very favored, and even ready to accept the mantle to inherit the mantle.

There was a reply from the carriage, the curtain was lifted, and a yawning barefoot Confucian scholar appeared in everyone's sight.

After saying hello to everyone, Wang He said: "I wet my shoes and socks while enjoying the water, and I have to go up the mountain, so I won't get out of the carriage. I will go up the mountain and dry my shoes and socks before coming down!"

I even got out of the car to enjoy it on the way!
Everyone laughed, they were all celebrities, and they didn't care about those common etiquette, so they all nodded and said in disapproval: "Then let's go up to the mountain and have a banquet!"

One of them even glanced at Yu Jijiu, and said, "I heard that brother Shinan has found a new chef with good skills this time, and he has praised him countless times in letters! This time, we can try this cook's skills." Do you deserve the praise of Brother Shinan!"

"Then let's go up the mountain!" Wang He flicked his sleeves disapprovingly, and leaned back into the carriage again, "If the name is not worthy of the name, it will be Shinan's face, and I will turn my face!"

Everyone laughed again when they heard the words, Yu Jijiu shook his head with a smile, and said, "The king and you are really... just really not to your liking, why are you as knowledgeable as a little girl?"

Huh?The cook that Brother Shinan found this time is actually a little girl?A group of celebrities looked at Yu Jijiu in astonishment, but Yu Jijiu stopped talking and pointed in the direction of Mount Li, saying, "Let's go! Let's go to Mount Li!"
