Chapter 512 Coming of Age Ceremony - Ceremony Completed
The coming-of-age ceremony is a great gift in life. Although the procedure is not as good as a wedding, it is still complicated. First is the zodiac ceremony: the host asks someone to divine to determine the date of the crowning ceremony; then the guest of honor: informs his friends about the ceremony and invites them to do so.
Guests; then the guests: three days before the crowning ceremony, a guest was selected as the guest of honor, and the crowned person was given the title of "guan"; Zhu Yuanwai was rich and powerful, and the crowned was a group of students of the same age, so naturally, Fang was invited
The dean is the guest of honor.
Shi Weitian's family was poor and they couldn't find a way out of it, but his parents still insisted on lending him money to continue his studies. He didn't have enough talents in the examination, so he insisted on passing the examination. Last time, he asked Zhu Yanshuang to find a part-time job, but Zhu Yanjian didn't.
Agree. This time, he
I volunteered. In addition to showing the dishes to my classmates, I wanted to talk to Zhu Toijian about this matter. As soon as I arrived at Fat Heart Restaurant, I saw that the restaurant was a bit noisy. There were a few distinguished guests. I used to chat with them and help them eat.
Zhang Fangsu was excited but no one was there
Ying. The waiter in the shop seemed anxious. When he saw Shi Weitian, he learned that he had asked the shopkeeper to apply for a tea and wine doctor, and hurriedly asked him to temporarily help with reception. He finally settled the two distinguished guests and ran to the back kitchen to see what was going on.
situation, but everyone is laughing
Zhang Fangsu almost fainted when he saw the red blood clam juice and said: "When I marry a wife in the future, I will faint first when I see the red Shuangxi, once when I see red clothes, red hijab and red pants, and once when I see Luo Hong.
I’m afraid I’ll faint three times in a row.”
In the back kitchen, four chefs were trying to cook the conch. They put the conch that had spit out the sediment into boiling water for a while, inserted the iron skewer into the conch meat, and turned it in the direction of the conch.
It came out. After they washed the conch meat, sliced it into thin slices and put it on the plate. Take a small plate and add soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, chili and mustard.
If you like it sweet, add a little sugar and mix thoroughly. Slice the other half of the conch meat and set aside. Chop the green onion, ginger and garlic and set aside. Cut the green chili and set aside. Heat oil in a pan, add onion, ginger and garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add conch meat and stir-fry.
Stir-fry. Add an appropriate amount of soy sauce and continue to stir-fry. Add chili and continue to stir-fry over high heat. Just add some salt to season before taking it out of the pan.

Keep it in clean water, vomit out all the mud and sand. Boil it in boiling water until half a cup of tea is made. Insert an iron skewer and turn it, a piece of meat will fall out. Cut into slices, add rice vinegar, soy sauce, chili oyster sauce, mustard. Can you bear it?
Slice onion, ginger, garlic and red pepper. Cut into shreds and keep aside. Heat oil in a pan, add onion and ginger, sauté until fragrant and add chili. Add conch meat to the pan at the right time, add appropriate amount of soy sauce, and stir-fry over high heat until cooked.
The conch eaten raw is tender and crisp. When dipped in mustard and soy sauce, it produces a pungent spicy taste with a long aftertaste. The cooked conch has another taste, full of spicy and earthly fireworks. The conch meat has a light
It's sweet and fragrant, but the meat is slightly hard and particularly chewy.
"Let's have a piece." The two sisters held the raw conch slices playfully and walked up to him while laughing and eating. Seeing this, Zhang Fangsu lowered his head and felt like vomiting.
An angry shout came from outside the door: "You are not allowed to tease Dr. Zhang like this."
The two sisters trembled. It turned out that their brother Zhu Yanjian had returned and was standing behind them. The two stuck out their tongues and ran away in a hurry. Zhu Yanjian already knew that Shi Weitian had just entertained the guests on behalf of Zhang Fangsu.
He learned from his classmates that his family's situation was really difficult. He took out a piece of silver from his pocket and said, "This time at our coming-of-age ceremony, you will be the assistant guest to receive guests from all over the world. This is
The reward has been paid to you in advance."
He quickly declined and said: "I feel uneasy to attend the coming-of-age ceremony for free, how can I charge money?"
"Take it, let's celebrate the New Year first." Zhu Toijian said pretending to be angry: "It is unfilial to let uncle starve. Haven't you always thought of helping me? I will ask my father to persuade my uncle at this coming-of-age ceremony."
Shi Weitian took the money and went back with great gratitude. In the kitchen, the four stoves began to cook the green pepper and cuttlefish flowers: they divided the work to tear off the skin of the fresh cuttlefish, dig out the internal organs, cut off the cuttlefish sides and cut the flesh with cross-cut knives, wash it
Pour in the rice wine and marinate for a quarter of an hour. Cut open the green peppers, remove the seeds and cut them into slices. Peel the carrots and cut them into thin slices.
Put the cuttlefish slices into a pot of boiling water and blanch the water to remove the fishy smell. After the cuttlefish slices are rolled up, take them out of the hot oil pan. Put the carrot slices and green pepper slices into the oil pan and stir-fry quickly. When the carrot slices and green pepper slices are cooked, stir in the oil.
Stir-fry until raw, then put the cuttlefish rolls into the pot and stir-fry for a while. Finally, add salt, chicken essence, water starch to thicken the gravy and stir in the flavour.

Peel the cuttlefish intestines and cut them into pieces with a cross-shaped knife. Marinate them with rice wine and blanch them in water to remove the odor. Peel the carrots and chop the green peppers into pieces. Stir-fry them in a pan over high heat and add a thin layer of gravy and seasoning.
The cuttlefish cubes with green pepper and cuttlefish blossoms are rolled up like white jade, and the green peppers, carrots, etc. are also shiny. The whole dish is very beautiful. It tastes fresh and salty, especially for young people.
The dishes have been arranged, and the time is approaching. Member Zhu will start to entertain the guests: two days before the crowning ceremony, he will go to the guests' homes to invite the guests again, and invite Dean Fang to sing and host. The duration: one day before the crowning ceremony, outside the family temple.
Hold a ceremony, announce the time of the crowning ceremony, and notify all guests; present the utensils and clothes: Get up in the morning on the day of the crowning ceremony, put the toiletries and the crowning clothes together
As soon as it was placed and in place: the host, relatives, crown holders and all the ceremony bearers took their places; one day in advance, the parents of the nearby students stayed at the Fat Heart Restaurant. Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanwai led the guests: the host is here
The distinguished guests are welcomed at the gate. After the distinguished guests arrive at the door, the host goes out to greet them. The guest of honor bows three times and gives way, and then enters the hall;
After the guests arrive, there are three additions: The main guest, with the assistance of the master of ceremonies, Dean Fang, performs the ceremony of three additions for the ten crown winners. First, they add cloth crowns, then add leather crowns, and three crowns, and give congratulatory speeches, which are different three times.
;The winner changes clothes three times;
The guest of honor gave the crowned person a glass of wine and gave a congratulatory speech. The crowned man paid homage to his mother; the guests named the crowned person "Zi", and the character on the tip of Zhu's tongue was "馐之". From today on, he will be called Zhu Kunzhi. After the name was finished, Dean Fang presided over the speech and said
: "Today, we are gathered here to witness an important moment - your coming-of-age ceremony. We, the Song Dynasty, rule the world with filial piety and bring peace to the troubled times with civilization. When you become adults, you have to shoulder the responsibilities of your family and country.
Be filial to your parents and elders at home, know and study when you leave home and go to the academy, read the books of saints, learn from the saints' deeds, be kind-hearted, and shoulder the responsibility of your family and country. Our academy has produced 21 outstanding candidates in the past forty years, which is really for me
As role models for generations to come, I hope that all of you will win the exam today and write your own wonderful chapter in the future. Nobles and nobles throughout the dynasty are all scholars. The family needs you to honor our ancestors, and the academy needs you to make your name famous."
After the congratulations, the ten crowned persons visited their relatives and elders. Immediately afterwards, the crowned persons visited the officials.
"More than twenty in forty years, more than twenty candidates in forty years." Shi Weitian's father murmured to himself: "The academy has produced five thousand scholars, how come there are so many candidates?
?”
In his mind, as long as he enters the academy, he is only one step away from becoming an official. If he is among the best in his class, he has a high probability of passing the examination. But now that he hears it, even if he is first in the academy, the probability of passing the examination is only
50%, my son was only in the upper half of the class, and there was little hope of passing the exam, so I was immediately discouraged.
