The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 107 I hate people, I am a professional
Xiao Qinzhi gave the big grass carp to the Zhao brothers, and told them to remove the scales and clean it up. Tonight Xiao Qinzhi will cook a grilled fish himself. The food of this era is almost like a bird, with no taste at all.

"A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, understand?" Chen Tanzhi asked strangely.

"I never said I was a gentleman, don't give me a high hat, I'm just a layman, I can't stand it." Xiao Qinzhi choked back.

"But you are a son of a noble family, so you should avoid it even more." Chen Tanzhi said again.

"It's the end of the year, not now. If you want to restrain me with morality, you have to wait until the end of the year." Xiao Qinzhi retorted with a smile.

"But you will be sooner or later. Your current speech and behavior are related to your personal morality. Be careful that someone will accuse you of indecency." Chen Tanzhi said.

"If someone sues me, it must be you. You are the only one who is narrow-minded and won't give up when you lose. I have every reason to doubt it." Xiao Qinzhi chuckled.

"You—you—you don't know who you are, what I'm saying is for your own good, and I don't bother to say it to ordinary people." Chen Tan was so angry that he rolled his eyes.

"Okay, don't just say it for the good of someone. It's just to restrain others with morality so that others can cater to you. Once others don't cater to you according to your requirements, you will be angry and uncomfortable. I think this is Suffering from hypocritical disease, it needs to be cured." Xiao Qinzhi was furious, and Chen Tanzhi was so angry that he smoked.

"You—you are talking nonsense, I am not such a person, I—I—" Chen Tanzhi stammered, obviously unable to withstand Xiao Qinzhi's rhetoric.

"Okay, let's leave it alone, if you have that spare time, wouldn't it be good to save it for dinner at night?" Xiao Qinzhi hugged his dirty clothes and went to the bathroom without bothering to care.

"I don't know how to eat." Chen Tanzhi said angrily.

"Okay, you'd better remember what you said." Xiao Qinzhi looked back, showing a big smile, Chen Tanzhi was so angry that he pulled Ajie's sleeve, pointed at Xiao Qinzhi's arrogant back, Not angrily said: "Brother, look at him, how can he look a little bit? He looks like a countryman."

Chen Yunzhi just smiled and said nothing, thoughtful.

In the first round, Xiao Qinzhi completely defeated Chen Tanzhi.

The Zhao brothers took care of the big grass carp and marinated it for a while. Xiao Qinzhi cut open the spine of the grass carp with a knife, tied the pickled grass carp with a homemade bamboo fork, and placed it in the yard. Roast on the fire.

"Isn't it just grilled fish? How about I say it?" Chen Tanzhi said proudly.

"Then you'd better not eat later, and you won't do anything, and there are so many nonsense." Xiao Qinzhi sprayed back without hesitation.

On the corridor at one end of the courtyard, stood Zhao Yunfei, nerdy Xu Bin, Xu Miao and the Zhao brothers after taking a bath, and at the other end of the corridor stood Chen Tanzhi and Chen Yunzhi, all watching Xiao Qinzhi grilling fish in the courtyard .

Xiao Qinzhi sprayed Chen Tanzhi, making everyone hold back their laughter. You must know that Chen Tanzhi revealed his identity as a descendant of the Chen family in Yingchuan, a second-class noble family in the north. The He and Ji clans.

This made everyone have a new understanding of Xiao Qinzhi's awesomeness, and he is absolutely fierce.

"The bamboos in this courtyard are green and fragrant, and they should be served with Qingming and elegant music, but you use them to grill fish, and what you grill is ordinary grass carp." Chen Tanzhi was smart, and said from a different angle.

"What's wrong with grass carp? Grass carp deserves to be looked down upon? Grass carp contributed itself and fed everyone. This selfless contribution is not ordinary grass carp? Aren't grass carp all the same? Can I conjure a roc for you?"

"Hey hey hey" everyone covered their mouths and snickered.

"You'd better not eat later, do what you say, or you will understand." Xiao Qinzhi bared his lips with a weird smile.

"If you don't eat it, don't eat it. It's not like I haven't eaten it before. I've eaten fish that are much better than this. You still treat me like a treasure." Chen Tanzhi said with contempt.

The freshly marinated wild big grass carp is already tender and tender. It is roasted on the fire until the skin is browned and the meat is half-cooked. Then you can add ingredients, salt and other condiments.

The soul of grilled fish is pepper, which was not introduced into China until the Ming Dynasty, but it can be replaced temporarily with peppercorns and dogwood, and then with ginger, garlic, green onions, etc. In this season, you can put cucumbers, celery, bean sprouts, a small amount of coriander, and pour water into the pot Submerge the body of the fish, cook on high heat for a quarter of an hour, and then you can eat it.

The grass carp was too big to fit in one pot, so the Zhao brothers each carried one, but Xiao Qinzhi replaced it with two small iron pots, which happened to be divided into two.

On the aisle in front of the house, there is an eaves to block it, so you are not afraid of rain. Two small stoves are set up for heating in winter, and a small fire is lit. Eat the grilled fish now.

Such a rough way of eating in a pot makes everyone feel novel, especially after living in the south for a long time, the food is exquisite and delicate, and many people eat together. Generally speaking, they share the food. Separate food tables with the same food on top.

It may be that Xiao Qinzhi's grilling skills are not good enough, and the grilling is a little overdone, which makes the fish look a little dark and not good in appearance, but it does not hinder its delicious taste, and the attractive fragrance has already wafted away.

A variety of ingredients are blended in the water to form a strong and unrestrained fragrance. As soon as people smell it, they can't help being aroused by greedy insects. Xiao Qinzhi took a greedy sniff, and it was almost the same smell .

"You have all the fish in one pot, how are you going to eat it?" Chen Tanzhi waited to see Xiao Qinzhi's joke.

Chen Yunzhi didn't seem to be worried that Xiao Qinzhi would make trouble here at all, he glanced at his younger brother pityingly, and thought: "I'm afraid I'm going to be bullied again."

Sure enough, as Chen Yunzhi expected, Xiao Qinzhi had prepared it long ago. In fact, it was very simple, just use "public chopsticks". A Chen Tanzhi: "Anyway, you don't eat, so what are you doing with your own business?"

Chen Yunzhi chuckled, knowing that Xiao Qinzhi had no good intentions and deliberately dug a hole for Ah Tiao, and the poor brother was foolishly tricked.

"I'm sure I won't eat it." Chen Tanzhi blushed, depressed, eating raw cucumber and bean sprouts. It was just fish in an iron pot. It looked delicious. It was really delicious.

"Brother Yun, you have come from a long way, so don't be surprised if you prepare some cold food." Xiao Qinzhi toasted.

"Brother Qin, he catches the fish and cooks it himself. He puts so much effort into it, how can he be offended?" Chen Yunzhi said with a slight smile.

"He didn't even know we were here, how could he catch fish with his own hands on purpose, we were just a coincidence." Chen Tanzhi said.

People often say that if you see through, you don't tell the truth. Chen Tanzhi, a dead boy, insisted on exposing him face to face. Xiao Qinzhi turned his head and said with a smile: "You have a small stomach, and you don't understand if I tell you, so I won't tell you."

"Tell me, why don't I understand?" Chen Tanzhi and Chen Sheng chased after him.

Chen Yunzhi looked at his brother pitifully, fearing that he was about to fall into another trap.

"Let me ask you, this is the first time I caught fish, and your elder brother just happened to be here, at the right time, at the right place, and met the right person. Even if it wasn't intentional, it must be destined by heaven. How much do you deliberately want to do well?"

"You're sophistry, sophistry." Chen Tanzhi was really startled by Xiao Qinzhi's brazenness, and once he ate an ordinary meal of fish, he was stunned and became destined.

"Sophistry is also a debate, so why don't you argue it?" Xiao Qinzhi bared his lips jokingly.

Chen Tanzhi's mind is spinning rapidly, and it doesn't make sense to use Taoism to explain it, because Taoism emphasizes inaction as well as action, Taoism follows nature, and conforms to the will of heaven, which just falls into the trap of "destined by heaven" designed by Xiao Qinzhi.

If you use Confucianism, it won't work. Confucianism emphasizes putting people first, but the bad thing is that Xiao Qinzhi has already arranged it in advance. You say he didn't deliberately prepare it. Far.

In fact, this question is very easy to solve, and it can be solved by Taoism. Taoism follows nature, so Xiao Qin's catching fish or not catching fish is an objective fact, and it is nothing more than two results.Chen Yun's arrival is also an objective fact, and it is nothing more than two results, so Xiao Qin's catching fish and Chen Yun's arrival are just one of four possible facts.

If God's will really predestined this kind of thing, why didn't Xiao Qinzhi catch fish when Chen Yunzhi came here?Isn't that contradictory?

Chen Tanzhi's mind was confused, he couldn't think of it for a moment, he stared blankly, he was neither convinced nor could he refute his grievance, which made people laugh out loud.

Chen Yunzhi held a mouthful of fish, opened his mouth lightly, and immediately felt a burst of spicy, thick and juicy taste, and afterward, there was a lingering fragrance in his mouth. Compared with the usual blandness, it was another extreme, which would seduce people to explore.

"Brother Qin, you are a good cook. The flavor of this fish is unique. It's a must. I didn't eat it when I came back. Could it be that it was hidden on purpose?" Although Chen Yunzhi was talking about fish, there was a deep meaning hidden in his words. Point out the key to solving the problem.

"Brother Yun, you're playing tricks, how can you support him off the field? You'll have to drink as a fine, and I'll accompany you for a drink." Xiao Qinzhi said with a big grin.

"Chen Langjun, good words. After you reminded me, I just realized Brother Qin's weakness. I would like to toast you too." Xu Miao raised his glass at the other table.

The three drank wine together, only one of Chen Tan was chewing cucumbers, he was in a daze, unable to think of the key point, his mentality was messed up by Xiao Qinzhi, and his mind was confused.

"Take a break, think slowly, don't rush." ​​Chen Yunzhi looked at the poor brother, comforted him, took another bite of fish, and put it in Chen Tanzhi's bowl.

"Brother Qin, you told me this afternoon that Master Qian Tian is not serious. I have a different opinion on this, and I have gained something. I am here to ask for advice." Xu Miao said.

"Oh? Can you elaborate?" Chen Yunzhi was very curious, but he did not hide his weird smile.
That Qian Tianshi is well-known, no one knows, Xiao Qin's words Qian Tianshi is not serious, Chen Yunzhi really wants to hear why he said so.

Xu Miao described the discussion on the road in the afternoon in detail, very earnestly, which made Chen Yunzhi take a look at Xiao Qinzhi, and saw through Xiao Qinzhi's tricks at a glance, thinking: "This stupid goose, one day Don't do business at night, just make fun of your classmates."

Xiao Qinzhi inadvertently raised his head to meet Chen Yunzhi's gaze. For some reason, his little heart beat faster, how could he feel his heart beating?He hurriedly cast his eyes away, took a bite of the fish and ate it, feeling overwhelmed.

"Brother Qin, you said that you didn't eat because Ah Da was protecting the crane. This is an established fact. Now you can assume that without Ah Da, how can you be sure that Qian Tianshi will definitely protect the goose?" ? No one knows what hasn't happened?" Xu Miao asked.

"Before answering this question, let me ask Brother Xianmin a few questions." Xiao Qinzhi said with a smile.

"Please!"

"First, if brother Xianmin is a thousand-year-old Daoist, without Ada, will you protect the goose?"

"Yes, I have a high realm of Wuqian Tianshi, and I will not tolerate the things I love being ruined."

"Secondly, I said that Qian Laodao pretended to be profound, but in fact he was just like you and me, which is not unusual. Do you agree?"

"I don't agree. Master Qian Tian didn't pretend to be profound. He followed the Tao and the law of nature. He must be higher than you and me."

"Okay, let me tell you two things. Qian Laodao's senior brother is named Ge Hong. Qian Laodao goes to Luofu Mountain every February to discuss Taoism with Ge Hong. Aren't they determined to win? When the tea first came out, I wanted to give Mr. Cui and Qian Laodao each a copy, but Qian Laodao snatched my tea. Isn’t it a good thing that I love, and I don’t want to sell it? If Qian Laodao really did the Taoism Naturally, following God’s will, why bother to compete for superiority, why bother to make good tea? From this we can conclude that Qian Laodao loves cranes, and if there is no Ah Da to protect the cranes, he will definitely wait until he sees his beloved being ruined. "

Xu Miao was stunned and couldn't answer for a while, but he never recognized Xiao Qinzhi's conclusion in his heart, so he was embarrassed.

"Brother Xianmin, is the fish delicious?"

"Delicious, unique and delicious."

"Then why does Brother Xianmin laugh at my indecent fishing, Meng Lang who brought the fish home?"

"It's not the same. What I eat is fish. What I disapprove of is behavior. It's very different."

"The final result is that the fish I caught were eaten by the immortals, who in turn disapproved of my fishing. You see, all the good things have been said by you. Isn't it exactly the same as Qian Laodao's good crane?"

Xu Miao was embarrassed and blushed.

"Brother Xianmin, don't be angry, I'm not targeting you, I'm just discussing a phenomenon with you, 'You say no, but your body is very honest', this phenomenon has probably been discovered by many people, but I am No one has ever heard of it.”

It is a weird word again, but the meaning it intends to express is very profound. Chen Yunzhi stared at Xiao Qinzhi with beautiful eyes, and listened quietly.

"Brother Qin, please tell me."

"To give two examples, the rice we eat is grown by farmers in the rice fields. The noble families eat the rice that farmers have worked so hard to grow, but they say things that despise farmers. People in this world are not ashamed. Wang Kai and Shi Chong fight for wealth, but everyone wants to be Wang Kai and Shi Chong. You see, when I think about it, I think of two things."

"So, brother Qin, what do you mean?"

"The reason why we can be restrained is because we are instinctively willing to be restrained. Our growth process is actually a process of slowly becoming the person we once hated. In the end, we will all become the person we once hated. A person who is not ashamed."

Xu Miao fell into deep thought.

"Brother Xianmin, if you still don't understand, here is a ready-made example." Xiao Qinzhi looked at Chen Tanzhi happily, this kid was eating fish and meat while Xiao Qinzhi was discussing with Xu Miao.

"Look at Brother Tan, he said before that he would never eat it, but now he eats it happily, does it verify what I said?"

When Chen Tanzhi was pointed out, he couldn't help but blushed, and instantly lowered his head, embarrassingly trying to punch a hole.

"Brother Qin, you are wrong. How can the previous him be the same as the current him?" Chen Yunzhi said.

Chen Yunzhi's sophistry ability, Xiao Qinzhi's admiration, was originally called the strongest.
