Fang Zhao looked at the stove door and occasionally used tongs to stir the firewood.
After Zhang Gou finished cutting the vegetables, he quickly scooped out the rice grains rolling in the rice soup and drained them. After pouring a ladle of water into the iron pot, he put the steamer on it, poured in the half-cooked rice grains to steam them, covered it with a bamboo lid and waited to eat.
Wang Zhen poured the clams that had been fed for a day and cleaned into the iron pot. While the pot was still hot, he stir-fried them for a dozen times and then scooped them out.
"Okay, wash off the sweat, let's drink some iced sake and eat some food, we can eat in a while."
All three of them were wearing knee-length shorts and sleeveless short jackets. Fang Numa pulled at his old-looking short jacket and pouted unhappily, saying, "Sir, why do we have to cook for ourselves? It's too unpresentable to dress like this."
Wang Zhen wiped the sweat off his body with a cloth, threw it to Fang Zhao, and said, "But it's cool to wear like this. Isn't it better to live more comfortably in private? As for cooking for yourself, you're used to it. Your master always said that if you can't clean your own house, how can you clean the world? If you can't find food at home, won't you starve to death if you go out?
Isn't it good to take care of your life in your spare time while studying? If you treat it as a pastime, you won't find it troublesome.
Because the Central Plains is so small that there is no room for us. If our Yuzhou clan really joins the court, the Tang Dynasty will be in chaos.

Fang Numa was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Sir, are you talking about criminal law?"
Wang Zhen shook his head and explained, "On the contrary, your master is very idle, especially after your master uncle returned to his old man, all the political affairs and teaching were handled by your master uncle.
Wang Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "Of course we have to tell stories. Your situations are different, so the teaching methods are naturally different. Now you mainly learn to recognize words and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, while Fang Zhao can learn advanced arithmetic chapters and various classic cases of my Yuzhou series."
"There are criminal law aspects."
"Haha, eat more if you like."
There are both negative and positive sides. As long as you study those cases, I dare not say more. Being a governor and handling the political affairs of a state should be no problem. "
The collision of two different ideologies and systems, without enough time for mutual integration, makes it impossible for them to coexist peacefully. The best way is for the Confucian school to occupy the center and our Yuzhou school to occupy the border areas, and for them to slowly adapt to each other, as is the case now."
Your master has good intentions. "
Wang Zhen nodded and lamented, "It is precisely because of this that we in Yuzhou had no intention of participating in the imperial examinations two years ago. Our real purpose was to leave for the four great borderlands last year. The Confucians thought they had driven us away, but they did not know that we were just following their lead.
Every time we had a meal, your master would tell us all kinds of stories about the origins of the ingredients. The reason why I know so much about Lingnan is because of what I learned from those stories.
Zhang Gou didn't have a deep understanding of the concept of a provincial governor, so he didn't feel anything, but Fang Zhao was a little surprised, "Then don't we have many talented provincial governors in Yuzhou?"
Your grandmaster would cook for us four or five times a month. The ingredients came from all over the world, collected by your grandmaster's aunt. The dried bananas, dried mangoes, and rice candies made in Lingnan today are actually what I learned from your grandmaster.
Wang Zhen smiled and continued, "The classic cases in my Yuzhou department are all-encompassing, and can be regarded as our own internal advanced teaching materials. Most of them are actually various things that have happened in subordinate farms.
Wang Zhen smiled and shook his head, saying, "Come and sit down. You are under the age of sixteen, so you are not allowed to drink alcohol. Just drink some mint water. This is a strict order from your master, and I dare not break it casually."
Zhang Gou thought for a moment and asked, "Will the master also tell stories to me and my senior brother?"
Of course, this is not necessary. As long as your lifestyle habits do not affect others, you can do whatever you want."
Fang Numa asked curiously, "A person like the Grandmaster should be very busy, right? Can he cook for you often?"
Fang Numa first took a sip of mint water to moisten his throat, then picked up a clam and ate it. As soon as he bit off the clam, his eyes lit up, "I didn't expect the food the master cooked was so delicious. No wonder he cooked it himself."
Zhang Gou took the cloth handed over by Fang Zang, washed it in the wooden barrel and wrung it out, then wiped his body while saying, "I'm good at these jobs. If you find it troublesome, I can do more in the future."
"Case?"
Fang Zhao immediately pricked up his ears, for he knew that one of the secrets of the Yuzhou lineage was the story of his master.
The methods used by the farm manager at the time, the consequences caused, the post-event analysis, etc., can become classic cases and be used for teaching. They all have their own classic aspects.
Fearing that he would leave a bad impression on his master, Fang Numa quickly said, "I'm just not used to it for the time being. I'll just do it more often in the future. I won't bother you, Junior Brother."
Zhang Gou also sighed: "I have been eating shellfish all my life, and now I know that they taste so good."
Zhang Gou also looked at Wang Zhen curiously. Although Zhang Gou had never seen his great master, he had heard of him countless times. In Bao'an County, the richer people were, the more they liked to talk about the legend of their great master.
Hearing Wang Zhen say this, Fang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief. He really couldn't do the laundry and cooking by himself. After all, even though his family had fallen on hard times, someone had always taken care of his food and daily life.
"So our Yuzhou faction has become so powerful?"
Fang Zhao frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "But even if the four borderlands are extremely vast, it is impossible to accommodate our Yuzhou faction, not to mention that we are still cultivating talents continuously, what should we do in the future?"
"I'll try to select the best from the best in the future." Wang Zhen looked at Fang Zhao and Zhang Gou with some pity, and then said, "There are so many geniuses in the world.
Even though you two are my direct disciples, if you don't work hard enough, you may not be able to govern a region in the future. So, starting tomorrow, you'd better work harder.
If you really want to go into politics, you can only go overseas. Your master said that overseas is big enough to accommodate our Yuzhou clan. This is one of the reasons why I am so anxious to force the aristocratic families to continue to develop. "
