This sentence should have a double meaning.
However, in Minister Rong's mind, what Gao Bo said must be because Rong Xi was so stubborn and stubborn that he did not listen to him, which made him unwilling to teach him anymore.
It's simply a loss of face for the Rong family!
Rong Lian frowned slightly. For some reason, he always felt that what Master Gao said seemed to have another meaning.
However, considering what my brother had done before, it is normal for my father to behave like this.
"Father, brother must be lonely and upset now that he is all alone." Rong Lian pleaded for Rong Xi, but he secretly sighed in his heart.
Linxi is a remote place, and given my brother's personality, he naturally can't stand it. But for me, it is a place with beautiful scenery, peace and tranquility.
"We just need to suppress his temper!" Minister Rong was so angry that his beard trembled and his eyes were fierce.
Rong Lian comforted him with a few words and said slowly, "Father, I want to take the provincial examination next year. However, there are many people in Beijing, and there are always banquets. I can't settle down, so I want to find a quiet place to study in peace."
Minister Rong took the matter of the imperial examination very seriously. Upon hearing this, he immediately replied, "You are right. This small courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing is quiet and peaceful. You can go there by yourself."
Rong Lian shook his head, "Compared to the suburbs of Beijing, Linxi is certainly more elegant and quiet. If I move to the suburbs of Beijing, it will be easier for others to find me. If I go to Linxi, no one will bother me."
Seeing that Minister Rong showed refusal, he continued, "And the Rong family originated from Linxi. I will go to Linxi now, and during the winter solstice, I can worship the ancestors with you. I hope you will pass the imperial examination next year."
After hearing this, Minister Rong was slightly moved.
"Your brother is naughty and may disturb your studies."
Rong Lian shook his head and replied with a smile: "Brother never disturbs others when they are studying. If I can concentrate on my study, maybe I can ask you to follow me."
He who keeps company with vermilion becomes red.
After his argument, Rong Shangshu no longer had the heart to refuse, and only sighed: "The journey is long, and I am worried about you, father."
Rong Lian's talent meant that he didn't need to go to school to listen to a teacher's long words. The only thing Rong Shangshu was worried about was that he might encounter something unexpected while traveling thousands of miles.
"My brother went to Linxi alone, and I had a book boy with me, but I am not as brave as you. Reading thousands of books is like traveling thousands of miles. If I stick to the small city of Shengjing, I will be lost in the crowd even if I become an official in the future."
Your brother was driven away, how could he not be brave?
Minister Rong objected in his heart, but finally agreed.
"If you want to go, go ahead. Ask your mother to prepare all the necessary things for you. The ancestral home is not like your own home, so don't be too hard on yourself."
Facing Rong Lian, Minister Rong is truly a kind father.
Rong Lian lowered his eyebrows in response.
Thinking about how my brother left in a hurry without any valuables, I realized that he had to leave in a hurry. I couldn't bear to see this, so I stuffed the monthly money I had saved into his hand. My brother burst into tears and was deeply moved.
Thinking about it now, my brother must have been disheartened, desperate and helpless at that time.
Now that I have arrived in Linxi, I will treat my brother well, teach him the manners of a gentleman, impart him the knowledge of economics, and prevent him from living a naughty life anymore.
If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault.
He didn't dare say this to Aye's face, but he thought so in his heart. My brother's bad behavior is largely related to his grandfather's neglect and mother's doting.
He and his brother are brothers, so they should support each other and bring honor to the family together.
Rong Xi was far away in Qingzhou and had no idea what Rong Erlang was thinking.
Since the day Gao Bo gave him the book, Rong Xi stopped going out and started grinding beans at home.
The soybeans are soaked in water, squeezed through a stone mill to produce a milky white slurry, which is then filtered and put into a pot for steaming.
In a moment, the bean aroma fills the air, strong but light in taste.
When foam is generated, let the seeds separate, stir with a spoon, and occasionally cool with clean water.
After a while, Rong Xi poured the prepared sour milk into the pot, only to see the soy milk in the pot gradually become flocculent, like rolling white clouds and lingering waves.
If you stop here, it will be tofu pudding, which can be mixed with seasonings and can be either salty or sweet.
"My dear, you are so awesome!" Liu Zishi, who was standing beside him, exclaimed in amazement.
He had never thought that beans could be eaten in this way.
With the help of Liu's grandparents and grandchildren, Rong Xi quickly made tofu.
The white, soft and tender tofu is cut into small pieces, put into the prepared bucket and soaked in water.
"My dear, how do you eat it?" The young boy Liu couldn't wait any longer.
Rong Xi smiled and said, "We'll know tomorrow."
The next day, Jin Shi Xuan closed down. An informed source said that Jin Shi Xuan was researching new dishes and would reopen tomorrow.
There are new dishes!
Everyone was happy and looking forward to what new dish it would be.
At this time, Hu, Duan, Jiang and others all gathered at Rong's house to taste the fresh and refreshing tofu.
There are two dishes on the table.
One is the minimalist home-cooked tofu, which is rich in color and flavor. The combination of the fresh and fragrant sauce and the tender tofu makes you salivate at the smell and melts in your mouth when you taste it. The fragrance of the tofu and the deliciousness of the sauce are unforgettable.
One is minced meat and tofu soup, which is light in color and tastes fresh, very refreshing, and suitable for children and the elderly.
Several people ate the fine rice voraciously, finishing everything on the plate.
Duan Changjin was astounded when he tasted Rong Xi's cooking for the first time. Compared with her, Madam Jiang is far inferior.
"I never knew beans could be so delicious." He swallowed the last mouthful of soup and praised it repeatedly.
After the Liu family's grandparents and grandchildren withdrew the case, they walked slowly in the yard to digest their food.
"There are thousands of varieties of beans, and this is just one of them."
Tofu pudding, tofu skin, dried tofu, etc. are all common household dishes in later generations.
Hu Yulin was thinking again, and after a long pause, he asked, "Dalang, are you willing to let more people taste the beauty of tofu?"
Rong Xi was naturally willing, so he nodded and said, "Brother, I know what you mean. The delicious food should be enjoyed by the world."
As a result, the first tofu shop in Wei soon became famous throughout the world.
"Da Lang, you gave me the drawing before, and I have already got two kinds from the merchants. I came in a hurry today and didn't have time to bring it with me." Hu Yulin said apologetically.
Rong Xi smiled and replied, "Brother Xuanshi, you are very kind. I happen to be going to the city tomorrow, and I will visit you then."
They chatted for a while and left together before sunset.
At the same time, an ox cart drove leisurely into Mengshan County. We walked to the inn in the city and stopped.
Two men and a young man got off the carriage and entered the inn. The innkeeper saw them and was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and asked, "Are you three here to rest or to stay?"
The young man in the lead had a stunning appearance, but his bearing was extraordinary and his awe-inspiring manner made people dare not speak nonsense.
"Three upper rooms, move in," the man replied in a low voice.
Even the sound is like the music from heaven.
The room was ready and the three of them gathered in one. The servant brought water and filled the cup. Then he said with a smile, "If you have any instructions, just call me."
One of the handsome young men asked, "Which restaurant in the city has the best food?"
You’ve asked the right person!
The shop servant placed the teapot on the table and said with great joy, "Speaking of restaurants, of course Jinshixuan is the best!"
Before the three of them could ask, he continued, "My dear, you are from another place, so you may not have heard of the dishes at Jinshixuan. It is said that they are comparable to the food from heaven!"
"It is said?" The young man couldn't help but ask, "Have you never eaten it?"
"Oh, young master, you really think highly of me," the servant said with a grin, "I am poor, how can I afford such delicious food?"
"What kind of dishes are they?" the young man asked curiously, but his eyes showed disapproval.
He had tasted the royal banquets before, but this place was just a remote small town, how could it compare to the skills of the royal chefs in the palace?
Instead, the two men looked at each other.
They had already tasted the real delicious food and were not interested in Jinshixuan.
The shop servant replied, "I heard that when it is fried over a high fire, the aroma is extremely strong. Whenever Madam Jiang cooks, the streets and alleys are filled with the aroma, and I get hungry just by smelling it."
"Frying?" The handsome man suddenly exclaimed in surprise and looked at the man next to him, "Brother Sizhi, does this sound familiar to you?"
The man knew what he meant and said, "Then let's go to Jinshixuan."
Seeing the three people standing up, the shop servant hurriedly said, "Jinshixuan is closed today, it would be better for you to go tomorrow."
The young man didn't care, but seeing that both of them looked disappointed, he couldn't help but ask, "Aye, Uncle Chen, what's so special about Jinshixuan?"
Chen Chuangu secretly sighed, what a wonderful thing!
