meaning of aurora

Chapter 35
Even if there is no such achievement as the first in the first century of the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty as evidence, Su Shi's literary and artistic achievements have withstood the test of history early on.

But then again, geniuses sometimes need to be tempered before they can truly become a rough jade.

The Wutai poetry case was demoted to Huangzhou, which was the biggest turning point and misfortune of Su Shi's political career.

But it was precisely because of this demotion that Su Shi really became Su Dongpo.

While reclaiming wasteland on Dongpo, he created works that have been passed down through the ages.

In calligraphy, "Cold Food Tie", the third running script in the world, was left behind.

In terms of painting, it has achieved the masterpiece of the National Art Museum of China - "Xiaoxiang Bamboo and Stone Scroll".

"Niannujiao Chibi Nostalgia", "Chibi Fu" and countless poems that are still familiar to this day all originated from that period.

Nie Guangyi's favorite sentence "Looking back at the bleak place, returning home, there will be neither wind nor rain nor sunshine", was also created when Su Shi was relegated to Huangzhou.

Back to the topic of eating.

He was demoted several times and exiled all the way. In addition to achieving Su Shi's artistic attainments, he also inspired his food talent.

From the gentleman who cooks far away who "does not touch the spring water with his fingers" when he was with Wang Fu, to the emperor who left recipes one after another, Su Dongpo only took a distance from his favorite food.

Nie Guangyi knew what Xuan Shi was going to do.

What Zongji was going to do, which one he was referring to [the popular night snack that has been passed down from then to now], really made him curious.

For a person like Su Dongpo who eats everything without taboos, it seems reasonable to talk about any dish on him.

Based on Nie Guangyi's understanding of Chidi, he can probably think of three.

Curiosity makes people hungry.

Fortunately, the answer will soon be revealed automatically.

Zong Ji came up carrying a big box filled with ice cubes.

Meng Xinzhi turned her head and stared at it for several seconds.

Nie Guangyi's foodie personality made him suddenly become a gentleman: "Why don't we go over there and watch them do it?"

So, the two hit it off and came to the ancient French delicacy "Ring Arena".

The answer was revealed immediately.

It is different from the ancient sheep scorpion that takes a lot of time to make.

Zongji's explosive midnight snack can be finished in a few minutes as long as the ingredients are prepared.

And it's still the kind that has no suspense, and the whole process of production can be seen at a glance.

Ring area.

Zongji and Xuanshi discussed in the discussion.

Cheng Nuo asked various questions.

Zongji said: "Su Dongpo loves to eat, to the extent that he eats wherever he goes. Needless to say when he was relegated to Huangzhou, a song "Ode to Pork" was full of Dongpo's meat, and an article "How to Cook Fish" said All Dongpo fish."

Xuan Shi responded directly: "Well, in Su Dongpo's recipe, how to cook the fish is the most detailed. He also emphasized that he made it himself-【Zizhan is in Huangzhou, so he can cook his own fish】 .”

Cheng Nuo interacted with her boyfriend: "How detailed?"

Xuan Shi answered: "[Use fresh crucian carp or carp to chop and add salt in cold water as usual, add the heart of womb cabbage, and still add a few stalks of green onion, do not stir. Half cooked, add a little ginger and radish juice and a little wine each, three times. When things are equal, mix them thoroughly. When they are ripe, put them into the orange peel line, and then eat them. Those who eat them know themselves, so I can’t talk about them all.]”

Although it is ancient, it is not difficult to understand at all. Cheng Nuo sorted it out by himself: "It is indeed very detailed. You need live fish, you need to cook in cold water, when to add salt and when to add green onions, and ginger and carrot wine. How much to add, orange peel is added when it is almost ripe, this method is really complicated, the details are so detailed that there is a special order not to stir."

After sorting it out, Cheng Nuo began to ask, "What kind of cabbage is Chinese cabbage?"

Xuan Shi looked up at Cheng Nuo, and said, "That's amazing——cabbage."

"Haha, that's really amazing!" Cheng Nuo finished laughing and asked again: "Ah Shi, is the sheep scorpion you made also a recipe left by Su Dongpo when he was demoted to Huangzhou?"

"No." Xuan Shi replied: "The sheep scorpion came up when he was relegated to Huizhou. At that time, there were few markets in that place, but it was still a day to kill a sheep, and he dared not compete with officials. When buying, ask The butcher buys the spine ears.]”

Cheng Nuo originally wanted to ask about Xuan Shi's historical background, but when he saw Meng Xinzhi approaching, he moved up and said, "Ah Shi, I won't ask you any more, you can be a sheep and scorpion at ease, and I will ask Da Xin to tell me about it." Just understand."

After all, Cheng Nuo came to Meng Xinzhi's side and took her arm.

Meng Xinzhi let Cheng Nuo hold her arm, and asked softly, "What does Sister Cheng Nuo want to understand?"

"It's this sheep scorpion. Isn't Dongpo meat from "Ode to Pork", so what's the name of this article?"

"What Yang Xiezi will do is written in a letter from Su Shi to his younger brother Su Zhe."

"Su Shi still wrote letters to his brother?"

"Well, he wrote more letters to his brother than anyone else."

"The relationship between the two brothers is so good?"

"Well, in my eyes, Su Zhe is the first younger brother of the ages, the younger brother of the younger brother. He has almost lost all his edge, and has been busy working for his brother all his life. Paying the bill for his brother's outspokenness and kindness .”

"That's it, it feels like this is a very long story. I feel that Su Shi's family relationship should be similar to yours!"

"Our family is indeed happy and harmonious, but in their era, all kinds of situations of desperately protecting each other are unlikely to exist in modern times."

"Desperate to protect each other?"

"That's right. Su Dongpo was not beheaded in the Wutai poetry case. Su Zhe begged for mercy and was also demoted. The demoted is not the same place."

"Then you must listen to Daxin and talk about it some other day." Cheng Nuo brought the topic back: "Let's talk to me about Yang Xiezi first."

Meng Xinzhi looked at Nie Guangyi, and said aloud: "Mr. Nie should be better at eating, right?"

Nie Guangyi went to the rooftop specifically for eating, and under normal circumstances, he is too lazy to open his mouth when the food is present.

Today was different, his peacock feathers started to function first, and he asked Cheng Nuo, "Didn't the method of the sheep scorpion be almost explained in the car just now?"

"Is that all that was said in the car?" Cheng Nuo asked.

"That's not true." Nie Guangyi replied: "Behind this letter, there is also a joke made by Su Shi and his brother-[Zi You has been working in the cafeteria for three years, and the food he eats has no teeth but no bones. Is this the taste? The play book is left on this paper, although it is a joke, it can be used. But if this is said and done, the dogs will not be happy.]”

Cheng Nuo looked at Meng Xinzhi.

Meng Xin understood, and explained aloud: "Ziyou is Su Zhe's name. The two brothers, one is Zizhan and the other is Ziyou. After Su Dongpo was demoted to Huizhou, he was still enjoying himself in suffering. They made fun of his younger brother, saying that Su Zhe had been eating official meals for three years, eating big meat all day long, and couldn't even bite into the bones. He couldn't even imagine how delicious lamb scorpions were cooked with bones. After finishing speaking He also joked with his younger brother that if Su Zhe learns how to do it, those dogs in his family who love to eat bones will be depressed."

"Wow, listening to what Daxin said, it really has a sense of imagery." Cheng Nuo sighed, "In just a few words, the daily life of the two brothers is vividly on the paper!"

"Well, the sense of imagery is a major feature of Su Dongpo's writing. Not only is he writing letters, but his poems are also known for his imagery. Unlike Li Bai, he has all kinds of immortality in his poems, and Su Dongpo is full of fireworks in the world. .”

"Then what is your father going to do?" Cheng Nuo had already seen the ingredients Zong Ji was handling, but he was still confused.

"Didn't Miss Cheng Nuo see it all?"

"Ah? Isn't it? That's all?"

"What's wrong with these? Sister Cheng Nuo doesn't like to eat them?"

"No no no, I like it! It's just that I can't imagine this dish as classical. I think this dish is very modern, and it's something I often see when I grow up."

Cheng Nuo explained: "I usually go out for supper, and the supper shop that specializes in this kind of supper doesn't write the scientific name, but directly pastes two lines of red letters on the glass of the door [gas station for men, beauty salon for women]. Nothing to do with classical."

"Really? Which family wrote that?" Meng Xinzhi was surprised.

"A lot of places!" Cheng Nuo sent out the invitation directly: "The appointments for coffee fishing are over, I'll take you to eat."

"Okay." Meng Xinzhi agreed with a smile.

"What's the matter, Barista Cheng?" Zong Ji said: "I hear what you mean, you don't like my ancient delicacy."

"How is that possible?" Cheng Nuo pointed to the ingredients that Zong Ji had just placed on the grill, and explained aloud, "I just don't think it has anything to do with Su Dongpo."

"Hey, then I can tell you about it. What I say means more to Su Dongpo than that sheep and scorpion."

Cheng Nuo quickly answered, "Then I really need to listen carefully."

Zongji was clearly interested: "Yang Xiezi is a letter Su Dongpo wrote to his younger brother when he was demoted to Huizhou. Huizhou was plagued by miasma and plague at that time. Few of those who were demoted there could leave alive. The conditions were difficult. He can only have fun while suffering, and the sheep scorpion is the delicacy that can comfort his soul."

Cheng Nuo continued to interact: "Then, doesn't it prove that the significance of the sheep scorpion is greater than what you did?"

"No and no." Zong Ji began to speak with a classical charm, "Not many people who were relegated to Huizhou can leave alive, which means there are still, right?"

Cheng Nuo nodded, "Yes."

Zongji continued to be very interested: "He was later demoted to Danzhou, this one was in Hainan, this one was at that time, no one went to a place where he could come back alive."

"That's it." Cheng Nuo pointed to what Zong Ji was doing, and said, "So this Tao was relegated to Hainan?"

"That's right." After Zongji finished speaking, he began to explain in detail:
"Su Dongpo wrote letters to his brother in Huizhou. No matter how hard he was, at least he had meat and rice, right?"

"My way is that when he was relegated to Hainan in the end, his life was hopeless, [no meat to eat, no medicine to live in, no house to live in, no friends to live in, no charcoal to live in], especially when he had no rice. Said it when my son wrote."

"The whole letter has a total of 93 characters, let's skip the first 63 characters first, and I will read the last [-] characters to you."

"[Be careful not to say anything about your mistakes, for fear that the gentlemen in the north will hear it and fight for Dongpo's actions. I want to be exiled to Hainan, (share) my beauty!]"

Cheng Nuo shook Meng Xinzhi's arm and asked her to help explain.

Meng Xinzhi has been asked a lot by Zong Yi, and she is best at interpreting it in the most everyday language. She opened her mouth and said, "Son, how delicious this is, I will tell you, Daddy! You must not talk to the North. Those people said, if they found out, they might follow your father's example and scramble to be relegated to Hainan, if this is the case, your father's delicious food will be given away by them!"

"Really? Is this an exaggeration?" Cheng Nuo was skeptical: "I heard A Shi say before that Hainan is a tourist attraction today. However, in the era when Su Shi lived, it was even bigger than the "Southern Man". An even more wild place. Being relegated to Hainan is only slightly less serious than copying and beheading."

"The letter is true, and exaggerated rhetoric was used in the expression, but..." Meng Xinzhi paused for a moment, with a serious face, and responded without ambiguity: "This dish of roasted, raw, and oyster must have been handed down from that time. of."

The answer is revealed.

Zongji is making grilled oysters.

"That's it!" Cheng Nuo turned his head and asked Nie Guangyi who hadn't spoken for a long time: "Does Mr. Guangyi know what the 63 characters in front are?"

"Knows 63 out of 59 characters." Nie Guangyi rarely answered obediently.

"Huh? Then there are four more words?" Cheng Nuo asked.

Nie Guangyi spread his hands: "No one knows."

"Why?" Cheng Nuo couldn't help being surprised.

Nie Guangyi looked at Meng Xinzhi.

He hoped that Mengxin knew, but also hoped that Mengxin didn't know.

Very awkward, very Nie Guangyi.

"Because the extant "Xian Oyster Tie" is from the Ming Dynasty rubbings "Wanxiang Tang Su Tie". There are also seven characters in this rubbing that can no longer be read clearly. There are still parts of three that can be guessed, but the other four One is completely invisible."

"Is that so?" Cheng Nuo asked Nie Guangyi again.

"It's like this." Nie Tiantian began to explain with a complicated mood, and he used a two-pronged approach in ancient Chinese and vernacular:

"[Two days before the winter solstice in Jimao, Haiman (presented) oysters. Cut them open, and get several liters of meat, put them in water with pulp, and boil them with wine. The food is (very) delicious, and it has never been seen before.]"

"This is the first practice recorded. Oysters boiled in wine"

"Hainan people gave Su Dongpo some oysters. He made a bunch of meat and cooked them with wine. It was really delicious like never before!"

"[Whichever is the largest one is hot, chewing it, and cooking it in the mouth. Haiguo eats crabs, snails, octopus, how can I offer mouths.]"

"This is the second method recorded. Grilled oysters."

"Where I stopped was the four words that I couldn't guess."

"But that doesn't affect our understanding."

"Pick out the big oysters and heat them up—grill them. In this way, you will have the gas station and beauty salon you dream of."

As Nie Guangyi spoke, he brought back Cheng Nuo's previous words.

It is definitely impossible to expect the broad meaning to be serious in every sentence.

Cheng Nuo is also used to it: "It's not that I'm thinking about it day and night, it's the entrance of the grilled oyster shop, that's what it says!"

Zongji didn't understand the situation, and was afraid that Cheng Nuo and Nie Guangyi would quarrel, so he answered directly: "Before Su Shi, none of the people who were relegated to Hainan went back alive. Su Dongpo insisted on being in such a place." , eat oysters, promote rice, not only teach people to dig wells, but also spread their knowledge.”

Meng Xinzhi cooperated with his father: "Su Dongpo has accepted many students in Hainan, and one of them is named Jiang Tangzuo, who directly became the first person in Hainan's history."

Xuan Shi also helped ease the atmosphere: "In the history of the Song Dynasty, Hainan has produced a total of twelve Jinshi, which can be described as a collection of talents. As the teacher of Hainan's cultural enlightenment, Su Dongpo should take the lead."

Nie Guangyi answered, "Everyone is an adult, so what's there to hide? What credit can be given to cheering up men and beautifying women?"

As soon as Mr. Guangyi opened his mouth, all efforts to ease were in vain.
