"A white jade tree with cold plum blossoms stands next to the village road and the bridge over the river. I don't know if the water blooms first near the tree, but it is suspected that the winter snow has not left it."
"Excellent art is like a king. There are few people in the world, and there are no idlers like me in the world. Farewell to the bamboo window on a windy and snowy night, a lamp illuminates the Wu map."
…
Arrive at Su Yining.
"Thousands of miles away, the yellow clouds are white and the sun is shining, and the north wind is blowing the wild geese and the snow is falling. Don't worry about the road ahead without knowing you. No one in the world knows you."
"good!"
"Not bad."
Mr. Zhu also smiled and nodded.
Su Yi Ning smiled proudly and looked at Liu Wenjie.
Liu Wenjie thought for a while and said: "At dusk, the mountains are far away, the weather is cold and the white house is poor. I hear dogs barking at the firewood gate, and I return home on a snowy night."
"Um."
"Um."
Everyone nodded to each other and said, "This poem is well done."
Su Yi Ning also nodded to Liu Wenjie, they were indeed on par.
After a round, everyone is done.
Mr. Zhu looked at Li Heng and said, "This young master hasn't done it yet? Now that he's here, let's show him his skills."
In fact, Li Heng had a poem in mind for a long time, but he just said he would not join, so he voluntarily withdrew from the circle. Now that his husband asked him to write a poem, he did not refuse, stood up and blurted out: "Qian
Mountain birds have disappeared, and all traces of human beings have been wiped out. A man in a boat with a coir raincoat fishing alone is fishing in the snow in the cold river."
"good!"
"OK!"
"A lone man in a boat and a coir raincoat fishing alone in the snow on the cold river! It's very artistic."
"Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity." One person shook his head and said.
"What's a pity?" Everyone asked in confusion.
"It's a pity I didn't do it."
Everyone laughed.
Li Heng also laughed.
It turns out that writing poetry is so easy!
He just memorized the booklet Zhao Ling'er gave him, which happened to contain poems about snow.
If all the questions in the imperial examination are this kind of questions, then he will have confidence in himself!
Zhao Ling'er asked everyone to write down the poems they just made and sign them to Mr. Zhu. After Mr. Zhu reviewed them, he would select 30 of them and compile them into a volume. Each person would receive one tael of silver.
Everyone is happy.
After the party, Zhao Linger asked Li Heng to take Wang Ruoxi to Bahai Hot Pot Restaurant for dinner tomorrow, and Li Heng happily agreed.
In the afternoon, Zhao Ling'er went to the bookstore again, handed Zhou You the morning's collection of poems, and invited him to have dinner with him at the Bahai Hot Pot Restaurant tomorrow.
At noon the next day, Zhao Ling'er and Su Yining made an appointment with Wang Ruoxi, Li Heng, Lin Wan'er and Zhou You to come to the hot pot restaurant.
"This place is so big!" Zhou You looked at the facade, which has two floors and is on the corner. It's very grand.
"When did you open a hot pot restaurant? You do big things quietly!" Wang Ruoxi said with a smile.
Zhao Ling'er smiled slightly and said, "Come in and taste the food. You guys can try it out."
Everyone sit down.
The chef brought out all the prepared dishes. There was clear soup at the bottom of the pot. The dishes included mutton rolls, black-bone chicken rolls, beef rolls, quail, pork, chicken, duck, goose, cabbage, spinach, radish, leek, sunflower, and mustard greens.
etc.
Zhao Ling'er looked at the dishes, and there seemed to be nothing she wanted to eat in particular.
"Zhang Da, do we have hairy belly in our store?"
"Ah?" Zhang Da walked out of the kitchen and frowned: "Miss Ling'er, hairy tripe is made from cow's water. Can a high-end hot pot restaurant like ours prepare hairy tripe?"
Zhao Ling'er put down her chopsticks and said: "Why not? The hairy belly is so delicious. It's crunchy and chewy. It's best to eat it up and down in 15 seconds. By the way, there are also brains, you haven't prepared them either, right?
?”
"Eh!" Wang Ruoxi frowned and looked at Zhao Ling'er: "Are you still eating brains?"
Zhao Ling'er said: "The brains are so delicious! Boil the white brains in the pot for fifteen minutes, take them out with a slotted spoon, sprinkle with chili powder, cumin powder, five spices..."
"Hey... stop talking, stop talking, I can't bear it." Wang Ruoxi waved her hands and covered her stomach and said in pain.
"I think it's pretty good! Although the sewer looks dirty, it tastes different from just meat. Each one has a different taste."
"Haha." Zhao Ling'er laughed and said, "The dishes are all here, let's start eating."
"Zhang Da, what kind of ingredients have we prepared?"
"Our ingredients include sesame oil, sesame paste, peanuts, vinegar, coriander, green onions and soy sauce." He said and brought the ingredients one by one and put them on the table.
The table was filled with dishes, and Zhao Linger shook her head.
Although the dishes were all fresh, Zhao Ling'er tasted them tasteless.
Mainly...no chili!
If only I could get some chili somewhere!
Others thought it was nothing. Hot pot is what it is, and it would be nice if some wine could be added.
right!
Zhao Linger asked shopkeeper Wang to write it down quickly.
After everyone left, Zhao Ling'er stayed and renovated the hot pot restaurant based on his own memories of being in a modern hot pot restaurant.
First of all, there must be a special snack table. Each guest is charged an additional 10 cents and can use the snacks at will.
Secondly, there should also be some seasonal fruits, crispy rice and other snacks on the snack table. You can have some snacks before the dishes are ready.
Then add offal and other animal offal items to enrich the variety of dishes.
Finally, "Who knows where to find chili peppers?" Zhao Ling'er asked loudly.
Everyone shook their heads.
Shopkeeper Wang said: "We have Sichuan peppercorns, peppercorns, and pepper. These should be enough, right?"
Zhao Ling'er shook her head and said, "The taste is different."
"Where can I find chili peppers?" Zhao Ling'er thought, "Did chili peppers come from the Western Regions? Do I still have to go abroad?"
Zhao Ling'er went to Su Yixiang: "Do we in Dali have a market specifically for trading with Hu people?"
"I heard that there is a place called Jingchen Temple in the capital, and there are many foreigners who sell and trade there, but I have never been there, I just heard that there is one."
"Jingchen Temple?" Zhao Ling'er murmured to herself.
"Do you have a map of Dali?" Zhao Ling'er asked.
"You want to go to Jingchen Temple?" Su Yixiang was a little surprised.
"You have to go and take a look, just in case there is one!"
Su Yixiang took out a map from the drawer, pointed to the location of the capital and showed it to Zhao Ling'er: "When you get to the city gate, buy another map of the interior of the capital."
Zhao Linger nodded.
After returning home, Zhao Linger packed her bags.
"What are you doing?" Su Yining asked.
Zhao Ling'er said: "I'm going to the capital. You should study at home."
"What? Are you going to the capital?"
"I'm going to find chili peppers."
Su Yining knew that Zhao Ling'er had been thinking about peppers that he had never heard of.
"I go with you."
Zhao Ling'er said: "No need, just study hard at home, I can do it myself."
"How can that be done? How can I rest assured that you are going to the capital alone?"
"How do you explain to me?" Zhao Ling'er asked.
Su Yi Ning pondered for a while and said, "I'll go talk to mother."
Su Yining came to Mrs. Su's room, where Mrs. Su was lying on the bed reading a novel.
"Mom, I want to go to the capital with Ling'er." Su Yi Ning said.
"What?" Mrs. Su put down the novel and asked in surprise: "Why do you suddenly want to go to the capital?"
Su Yining said: "My kid has to take exams next year. I have to go to the capital to learn more! Our Yunzhou is too small, and I can't come up with anything new when writing articles. I have to go to the capital to see the world and see the most prosperous places.
, understand what people in the capital eat and do every day, so that you can write articles that are different from others."
Mrs. Su thought for a while and said: "If it is beneficial to your exam, then you can go. Take A Xin with you and let him take care of you on the way."
