Shoulder said: "I'm carrying it on my shoulders! When I walk around the world, I carry the inheritance of a generation of earth masters. Maybe you don't understand the meaning of the word 'inheritance'. That's why I appear, otherwise how can you have it?"
Such good luck to have dinner with my old man?... The golden plaque on the door is just a symbol, and what it symbolizes is the real wealth that belongs to people. After a hundred years, Chef Cui, can this restaurant still afford it?
What do you think you should look at with this plaque?"
The old man's expression was unusually excited. You Fang quickly interrupted: "Look at the plaque. I have also remembered the teachings of seniors. Can we eat now? To be honest, I am really hungry."
After entering the hotel, I discovered that the plaque outside the door was really not written by the store owner. The same plaque was still hanging in the middle of the lobby, but it had an additional title and signature. The title was "Mr. He Cuiyiqing, a chef for seventy years."
Anniversary", signed "Gift from Jinan Cuisine Association, 2007.9".
I came late to eat here and there was no table. I had to reserve a private room in advance. Unexpectedly, after entering, Liu Li greeted the waiter and led You Fang upstairs into a small private room - he had already reserved the room before he came.
, and the dishes were ordered. You Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly again. He thought he had a great time running, but he didn't know that every move was under Liu Li's control. He even decided where and what to eat at noon today.
Liu Li ordered four dishes and one soup. All four dishes were Shandong specialties, and they were all meat: nine-turn large intestine, oil-fried double crispy, fried pork loin, and carp jumping over the dragon's door. These are not suitable for the elderly.
Food, I didn’t expect that the old man had such a good appetite at his age! The soup is a little lighter, called bird’s nest soup, but the main ingredients are egg drop and seaweed.
When the carp was served, Liu Li frowned slightly and muttered: "The knife work is a bit poor."
You Fang advised: "With your old experience, you are naturally well-informed. I don't know what you mean by good knife skills, but this restaurant is not very expensive for ordinary people, so you don't look at the price?
This dish costs thirty-eight yuan. No matter how much it costs, do you still expect the chef to be able to cook a royal meal? You can’t just look at someone’s sign, but also how much money they ask you to pay!”
Liu Li smiled and said: "That's right. When did you understand this truth?"
You Fang: “I’ve understood this since I was a kid playing with porcelain.”
Liu Li was stunned while holding his chopsticks: "Playing with porcelain? Your family heritage is not only Feng Shui?"
You Fang accidentally let it slip. At that moment, the Fried Double Crispy Oil was served. The main ingredients were pork belly and chicken gizzards cut into various shapes and stir-fried. He changed the subject and said, "Well, the knife skills for this dish are good.
Better than before."
Liu Li stretched out his hand to pick up the vegetables: "Eat it while it's hot. The crispy oil will lose its taste when it gets cold... Be careful to burn your mouth."
After a short effort, all the wine and food were served, and the waiter closed the door, leaving only an old man and a young child in the private room. Liu Li took a sip of wine, put away his smile, and said calmly while holding the cup: "Young man, you
I hid for two days and traveled thousands of miles from Hebei to Shandong. I still play hide and seek with you at such an old age. I should have an explanation by now. There is no one else here. Why do you want to kill the crazy fox?"
After all, he couldn't escape what was coming. You Fang put down his chopsticks and his thoughts sank into memories——
…
You Fang was born in a village called Baimayi in Henan Province. It is said that in ancient times, this place was a post station. There was a white horse in the post station, hence its name. There were restaurants and shops around this inn station, and it gradually developed into a market town.
It was once very prosperous, but it was abandoned due to wars in the late Ming Dynasty. It is said that the Chuang King Li Zicheng destroyed this market town when his army passed through. In the next few hundred years, it became a village again. When the old people mention the name of the village, they will mention it.
Such a legend.
Unlike ordinary villages where clans with a single surname are the mainstay, Baimayi is a village with mixed surnames, including people with the surnames Li, Niu, and Ma. When it comes to the Baimayi family, I have to mention one person who
The famous local old lady is You Fang's grandmother Mo Si Gu.
Aunt Mo was married to Baimayi shortly after the liberation. You Fang's great-grandfather was a private school teacher in the countryside in his early years. Aunt Mo married into You's family because she wanted her husband to be knowledgeable, sensible, gentle and elegant. When she was young, she was not generally strong.
In terms of physique, he is stronger than men, and he is good at kung fu. He can use swords, guns, swords and halberds. He can knock down eight strong boys with seven hoe.
Aunt Mo is not like an ordinary rural woman. Not only can she speak well, she can fight and make trouble, and she is not afraid of any situation. Although she is strong outside, she follows her husband when she gets married. At home, she is very filial to her parents-in-law.
He never wields a knife or a gun in public. He is good at housework and is also a good hand at work in the fields.
The first time Mo Sigu showed her "power" was during the "anti-rightist" period. At that time, various movements continued across the country, and the wave also spread to Baimayi in the countryside of Henan. The popular movement at that time was to arrest rightists and come out to criticize them. In this village
Whose turn will it be to be labeled as a rightist? Of course it is Fourth Aunt Mo’s father-in-law, a private school teacher in the old society who bears the brunt.
Grandpa You had a premonition and hid in his house all day long, but he almost didn't escape. One night, Baimayi's village party secretary Niu Xiangdong, accountant Ma Weihong, and militia captain Li Yuanchao held a meeting by light, planning to launch a revolutionary mass criticism the next day.
Mr. You, the topic of discussion is - our village should also identify a big rightist.
Just in the middle of the discussion, the lights suddenly flashed, and Mo Sigu broke in with a heavy ax in his left hand and a bright sickle in his right hand. The three people in the room were shocked. Niu Xiangdong and Ma Weihong shrank to the corner, and only the militia captain
He plucked up the courage to shout and asked: "Old Youjia, you are so brave, you dare to break into the court privately! Didn't you see that the village leaders are in a meeting?"
Aunt Mo was very calm and did not answer. She pointed her sickle at Niu Xiangdong and said, "When you were a child, you were adopted by your uncle. Later, your uncle had a son, and your father took you home. I'm afraid you don't know that the Japs crossed the Yellow River back then.
At that time, the Kuomintang bombed Huayuankou, and your uncle led the way for the Japanese devils."
Niu Xiangdong's face suddenly darkened, and he rushed over and begged: "Brothers and sisters, you can't talk nonsense without any grievances! Back then, they were all forced by bayonets. Later, when the Red Army attacked the Japanese, my uncle also helped the Red Army lead the way, and he still had to get through it."
Here’s the certificate!”
Fourth Aunt Mo looked solemn: "Oh? You can explain this to the revolutionary masses, so why are you afraid of my nonsense? I just heard what you said in the room. What grudges does my husband's family have against you?"
After saying that, he ignored Niu Xiangdong, swung his ax at Ma Weihong and said: "When Beiyang was in power, your Ma family opened a brothel in the city, specializing in killing women! That brothel was passed down from your grandfather to your father, and your father
This man ruined his family fortune by eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking. After liberation, your family was classified as poor peasants. Don’t think that you are a good person, beware of the revolutionary masses turning over old scores!”
Ma Weihong was frightened. She came over and pulled her clothes and begged: "Sister, what year are these almanacs from? Can you keep your word?"
Seeing this scene, Li Yuanchao was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment. Unexpectedly, Fourth Aunt Mo sneered at him again: "Captain Li, you only have one daughter. You married my natal family, Mo Jiayuan, and you have given birth to two sons.
The eldest son and the second son are both very good. Who do you expect to provide for you in the future? ... If you offend the people of Mojiayuan for no reason, what good will it do to you?"
After saying these words, Aunt Mo slammed the door and left. Not to mention, everything was calm afterwards, and Old Mrs. You escaped. In the subsequent movements, Aunt Mo became prosperous in the village.
, was elected by the villagers and served as a women's director for a period of time. This matter was kept secret until many years later, when You Fang's father You Zuming drank too much and spilled the beans. Only then did You Fang know that his grandma had such a "glorious deed"
”.
During the ten years of turmoil, there was a period of time when the Four Olds were popular. The Red Guards in the city ransacked homes everywhere, and the countryside was also affected. Many of the antiquities from wealthy families in the old society were taken out, smashed and smashed, or secretly thrown away as garbage.
At that time, Fourth Aunt Mo showed her unique vision. She took her young son out to pick out rags when she had time. They rummaged through almost all the garbage dumps in the nearby county, including torn calligraphy and painting, and broken porcelain pieces.
, all the broken bottles and cans were picked up and piled in the vegetable cellar.
At that time, no one regarded these rags as good things, and no one paid attention to a rural woman and her children rummaging through the garbage. In the early 1980s, shortly after the reform and opening up, Mo Sigu ordered her son to contract the small kiln in the village.
Factory, my parents-in-law had passed away at that time, and Grandma Mo made the final decision on all major matters in the family. You Fang's grandfather was also happy and relaxed.
The kiln factory started to produce ordinary bricks and tiles, and it happened to be a good time in the 1980s. There were many people building new houses, and they could sell as many as they produced. This is how Youjia accumulated his first pot of gold. When he saved a
With the money, Sigu Mo instructed her son to build a new kiln using ancient methods. This time, instead of firing bricks, she imitated various ancient porcelains. She also specially invited several old craftsmen from the Jingdezhen area in the south for guidance.
As an adult, You Zuming has become a very experienced cultural relic appreciation expert and forgery master. When he was a child, Sigu Mo led him to pick up the broken copper jars, broken porcelain and residual paintings. On the one hand, he taught him how to repair the antiquities, and on the other hand, he also
Let him practice how to identify and imitate - this requires a lot of physical objects and repeated comparisons.
When You Fang was a child, his father used to play with him, not with car dolls, but with various types of ancient porcelain pieces from past dynasties. He taught him how to look at glazes, textures, patterns, and modeling styles, and even broke them to see new ones.
.You Fang's "family knowledge" is not only about ceramics, but also includes the appreciation of jade, gold and stone, calligraphy and painting, bamboo, wood, tooth horns and other miscellaneous antiques.
Looking back on the past, You Fang sometimes even suspected that grandma was the time traveler mentioned in the novel. How could she be so forward-looking? In fact, Mo Sigu was the descendant of Cemen, one of the eight gates in the Jianghu, and knew all the ways of the Jianghu and used it to protect his family.
The family is blessed with descendants.
There is a Mogong River not far from Baimayi. There is a village on the other side of the river called Mojiayuan, where Sigu Mo was married. When You Fang was a boy, his family's kiln factory business was booming, and his parents were too busy to watch him.
When he has nothing to do, he likes to go to Mojiayuan to play with his uncles, so he often skips school.
In villages dominated by single-surname clans, people are often ranked by generation. People of the same generation are mostly cousins from different houses, not necessarily brothers. As for women in the old society, they often didn’t even have a formal name and only had one title. , for example, the name written on You Fang’s grandmother’s household registration is Aunt Mo.
The eldest uncle, Mo Zhengqian, was a fortune teller in his early years. Now he is the abbot of a Taoist temple and is not often in Mojiayuan. The second uncle, Mo Shenshou, was a charlatan in his early years. Now he is a "highly respected" old expert in traditional Chinese medicine. .The third uncle Mo Zhengxin was a performer in the world in his early years, and now he also has the title of folk performing artist.
Mo Zhengjin, the fifth uncle who is the closest friend to You Fang, was a Feng Shui master in his early years and is now a well-known local scholar of living environment. As for the seventh aunt, known as Mo Qigu, she married into the city in her early years and has a son who is also You Fang His distant cousin is called Liu Yin, and he is now engaged in the "certificate processing" business. Several of You Fang's ID cards were given to him by his cousin Liu Yin, including the one named "You Fang."
You Fang's real name is You Chengfang, and he also has a sister named You Chengyuan.
Elders such as Mo Jiayuan are now very young, and their respective "businesses" are almost all left to their children and grandchildren. When You Fang was a child, he had the most contact with his fifth uncle and his third uncle, who taught him geography, Feng Shui and internal affairs respectively. Boxing.
Some people may say that Mojia is a den of swindlers, and those who come out to hang out are all big liars. This is also reasonable, but You Fang knows better. Jianghu magic has always been "sharp" and "li", and "li" It refers to all kinds of cheating methods, and "sharp" refers to the real knowledge among them. For example, You Fang's grandmother Mo Sigu, she is a really knowledgeable person, you can't just look at the surface.
Mo Jiayuan and other Jianghu people claim to be the inheritors of the "Eight Gates of Jianghu". They have learned the eight gates of "Jing, Tired, Piao, Si, Feng, Huo, Jue and Yao" (Note: No explanation will be given here. Readers please refer to Setting information in related essays).
Since ancient times, the martial arts of Jianghu are interlinked in "inside" but different in "point", which means that most of the methods of deceiving people are common to all, but the knowledge that you are really good at has its own emphasis. Of course, the one you Fang has learned the most since he was a child is his fifth uncle. The Feng Men Technique passed down from the public is the most important, while the Registration Technique passed down from the family comes second.
You Fang's father, You Zuming, has a very cynical personality, but he is very restrained under the suppression of a powerful grandmother, Mo Sigu. You Fang inherited the cynical side of his father's personality and is a little indifferent to everything. What should he learn? He will also study hard, as long as he can feel the fun in it, but he doesn't really take it seriously.
Grandma Mo Sigu was very dissatisfied with You Fang. She always liked to teach him a lesson, but she was reluctant to fight him. The old lady loved her grandson. So You Fang was very naughty in front of her grandma since she was a child. Even learning martial arts was not done with her. It was developed together with Mo Zhang, the son of my third uncle.
The main thing Sanjiu Gong taught was internal martial arts, which focused on physical and mental training. Only when martial arts was banned among the people and people were not allowed to carry swords and guns privately, they would use fists and kicks to defend themselves. But Mo Sigu was better at all kinds of weapons and equipment. This was cold. The most effective blocking technique in the age of weapons, it is very different to fight with a weapon in hand than with bare hands. There is a saying - no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife.
You Fang's elder sister was very interested in family heirloom skills and was very involved in learning from her father. She also pestered her grandma to learn martial arts since she was a child. However, the old lady did not teach her granddaughter much, and said: "Times have changed, and women Children just need to learn some postures to defend themselves, but more importantly, they need to be more attentive so as not to suffer any disadvantages."
You Chengyuan is very talented. She did not go to any famous university, but graduated from Jingdezhen Ceramics Institute. She chose such a major just because she was interested in it, and she got a ceramic arts and crafts artist certificate just after graduation. Only then, her
The "appearance" is also amazing!
