The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty - Chapter 52

The deer meat has a strong smell. To cook the deer meat, Yun Yan turned out the seasonings such as star anise, cornel and garlic.

A roe deer that is so big is enough to pick up a few dishes. Yun Yanhui processed the roe deer and divided it into meat and jointed meat. The meat was used for stir-frying, and the jointed meat was stewed in soup.

Cut the deer meat into pieces, steam it with water first, and take the cornel, spring onion, ginger, star anise, green onion and other seasonings on the other side, add oil and fry until fragrant. When the zongzi meat is steamed, stir-fry with clear oil, add salt, sauce and rice wine, cut some bamboo shoots in the middle, and stir-fry until it tastes good, then pour the fried soup base on it, boil it, and then it will be out of the pot.

As for the joint bones, the meat should be simmered slowly and slowly until the meat is overripe and melts in the mouth, and the spices are added to remove the fishy taste. In this way, the taste is extremely delicious.

In fact, there is another way to eat it raw. Like sashimi and sashimi, they are the favorites of Jurchens. But considering that this place is in ancient times, they don’t eat raw meat very much, and for hygienic reasons, they gave up roe deer.

Zhao Yunchu followed Yun Yan back, and watched him peeling the skin, removing the bones and chopping the meat and stir-fry, which was simply a treat.

Ge Yan is a steadfast practitioner of “never tired of eating fine, never tired of fine food”, and always pursues only more refined but not the most refined when it comes to eating. I cooked two dishes for an afternoon.

Zhangzi is warm in flesh and can make up for the deficiency. It is suitable for people like Bao Zheng who have recovered from a serious illness. Yun Yanhui tangled up a portion of the soup, and the brother in the Tuo Temple sent it to Bao Zheng.

He thought, Bao Zheng could see even ghosts, wondering if he would find that he was passing through…

I’ve seen it so many times, it seems useless to think about it now.

Yun Yan scratched his head and brought out the two dishes.

Today, Zheng Ping and Fu Yunfeng went to the temple fair together. When the sun went down, Fang came back hand in hand, feeling a little bit and smelled the fragrance outside the house.

Shuangyi and Xiaobao didn’t know when they would come back. Anyway, there were a lot of food, Yun Yan left a portion of the warm on the stove, and everyone ate the rest first.

One is spicy and the other is delicious. Yun Yan also fries a side dish, and the four of them ate it extremely fragrantly.

But Bao Zheng drank the zongzi broth again and couldn’t help but sigh.

Bao Xing asked, “Why does Lang Jun sigh?”

Bao Zheng pointed to the broth and said sadly: “I live in Xiangguo Temple today, and I am always giving food to my younger brother from the Yun family. It’s nothing unpalatable. If I leave the temple in the future, no matter how unpalatable it is, wouldn’t it hurt people.”

Bao Xing couldn’t help muttering, why did you start to feel hurt before you left? Is it necessary? Tell him, Lang Jun loves Yan Ge’er’s dishes so much, because when he woke up from a serious illness, he ate the fish made by Yan Ge’er, so he was deeply impressed.

Bao Xing persuades: “There are so many delicious things in the world, without the Yun family, Lang Jun can go and find other food.”

Bao Zheng had to reluctantly nodded, and thought of Yun Yanhui’s ability to do things, and it was even more pity.

Bao Zheng lived in Daxiangguo Temple for three months. Every day he played chess, talked about poetry, and tried the novel dishes that Yunyan returned there, or the rare delicacies he collected. After that, it was incredibly happy.

Until one day, when Bao Zheng was playing chess with Yuran again, he suddenly visited by Wang Feng, the current king. This xianggong is not meant by the husband of later generations. It originally refers to the prime minister, but gradually the senior officials can be respected as the xianggong.

Wang Fen was the prime minister of the dynasty, and he was naturally called a minister of justice. His official position was Tongzhong Shumen Pingzhang Shi, or Tong Pingzhang Shi for short, which literally means to lead Zhongshu Province and Mingxia Province to discuss state affairs together. However, the power is not as great as the previous prime minister, and only belongs to the chief executive. The powers of supervision, military administration, and finance belong to the three divisions of Taijian (Yushitai + Jianyuan), the Privy Council and the Ministry of Households, Yantie, and Duzhi.

But in general, he is still a bull character. Although Niu Cha, I have not only visited Daxiangguo Temple once or twice. Only this time was very different. When he came, he stared at Bao Zheng and asked about his identity.

Bao Zheng explained his origins clearly, including the weird Wupen case.

Facts have proved that the old monk’s clear reaction calmed down a bit, and he actually believed in Bao Zheng. This Wang Xianggong did not believe in Wupen and could still speak out injustice.

However, he actually came to Daxiangguo Temple to find Bao Zheng. Some time ago, the officials dreamed of a person’s face. After waking up, he painted it and ordered someone to look for it. The people underneath searched for a long time, only to find that this person was in the Daxiangguo Temple, so Wang Feng’s visit to the Daxiangguo Temple.

Wang Feng’s trip was to help the officials find people, so even if he didn’t believe him, but seeing that Bao Zheng was indeed exactly the same as the people in Longtu, he had to take him back to Xiangfu to wait for the officials to summon him.

After Wang Qian left, Yun Yan also got news, and it was exactly the three-month period that he said clearly.

Now Yunyan went back to explode.

Damn, the old monk can really tell fortunes. No wonder he used to say that he closed his eyes and had to accept him as a disciple. Maybe even then, he could increase his income when he arrived at the Daxiangguo Temple.

Yun Yanhui immediately killed Ran, and forced him to give his family another divination.

After knowing nothing for a long time, he gave Yunyan a divination, and then said: “All are blessed people, Kangshun is happy for a lifetime, but you seem to have a catastrophe this year, Brother Yan!”

Yun Yan didn’t expect that even a hexagram on a whim could be counted as a catastrophe, and he immediately said vigilantly: “What kind of catastrophe?”

“I don’t know this anymore. This catastrophe is very important to you, but there is no life worry, but it has a great impact on your future.” Because there is no life worry, it certainly doesn’t seem to be very worried.

“That’s it…” Yun Yan thought about it, and thought it might be Peach Blossom Tribulation. Doesn’t it have a great impact on the future? Let alone, he really appeals to the little ladies. .”

After knowing it, he hesitated for a moment, and said: “In this way, in a few days, we will present a ceremony. You formally worship my door and be my disciple.”

Yun Yan replied with surprise, and immediately understood that this move might have been due to what he had done. It is clear that he is not an ordinary monk now. If the two of them have officially crossed the clear road and become masters and apprentices, they want to come and have some protection for Yun Yanhui. Used.

Thanks to knowing care over the years, since he made this request for his own good, Yun Yanhui certainly would not refuse. Even if he agreed, he was just a little entangled, “Our little treasure is also your disciple, even better than me. Let’s get started first. If I’ve become a teacher in a few days, wouldn’t I still become Xiaobao’s younger brother? I always feel that something is wrong.”

It was clear that Yunyan had just focused on Yunyan’s return. He thought of this and found it funny, “Yes, but this is not possible. There is a sequence of entry, you can only call Brother Xiaobao.”

“Oh…” Yun Yan recalled their seniority, and couldn’t help sighing.

Come to think about it, Shuangyi is older than him, but he calls Shuangyi sister, and Shuangyi often mixes elder brother and younger brother. Xiao Bao is younger than him, so he should have called his brother, but now he has to be called Senior Brother Xiao Bao. This is not even counted as Zheng Ling, who often screams at all ages…How can it be a gibberish!

…

After three days, news came from Kaifeng Mansion that Bao Zheng was taken by Wang Fen to meet the officials, but he did not know how to play correctly, but he gained the trust of the officials, his fame was restored, and he was on the same footing and promoted to Kaifeng Mansion Shaoyin. , Feng Yin Yang Bachelor.

Kaifeng Mansion Shao Yin is an incredible position. It seems that he is only the second in command, and there is a Kaifeng Mansion Yin on it. However, in fact, all the people in Kaifeng Fu Yin were the royal family. For example, the Emperor Zhenzong once served as Kaifeng Fu Yin before he ascended the throne.

It was also because the emperor had served as an official, so he did not become a permanent member of Kaifeng Prefecture. The actual leader of Kaifeng Prefecture was Shao Yin or a temporarily appointed official, that is, “the right to know Kaifeng Prefecture affairs.”

Knowing is the meaning of management, power is power and, temporarily, temporarily manage the affairs of Kaifeng Prefecture. When Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan were the bosses of Kaifeng Mansion, they all knew about Kaifeng Mansion affairs. Such an important position equivalent to the mayor of the capital, sitting on it actually shows that the official family is going to be reused.

Bao Zheng was able to gain the trust of officials, and he soared from a small county head to this position at a young age. How unreasonable is this and how big is the gold finger?

Anyway, Yun Yan is very moved by this unreasonableness…

After Bao Zheng entered the Kaifeng Mansion, he also came to Daxiangguo Temple to pay a visit. Thanks again for his life-saving grace. Instead of changing his attitude as an official, he has become more affectionate. He also expressed his gratitude to Kuang Ran, Yun Yanhui and others for motivating him again and again.

A friend who is a current official in charge, not to mention that the Baoda Conference is selfish, but Daxiangguo Temple and Kaifeng Mansion will definitely be able to relax a lot in the future.

Yun Yan went back and inquired, and found that the people were gossiping. It didn’t take long for the Wupen case to spread to the market. There was a disciple from Zhang Shanren who deliberately collected materials and said that this case was coming.

Bao Zheng’s very popular “Bachelor of Yin and Yang” was also said to be because the officials knew that he could communicate with Yin and Yang and was good at interrogating ghosts, so they gave these two words as a special case.

For a while, Bao Zheng also became a celebrity in the city of Tokyo, gaining more attention than the top leaders of the Kaifeng government.

…

Unconsciously, this year’s Daxiangguo Temple International Food Festival is about to start again.

After this year’s development, the Daisangokuji International Food Festival has become one of Tokyo’s symbols, and its scale is getting bigger and bigger. In this session, Yun Yanhui needs to post a notice and hire temporary workers.

In the past, it was enough to use the monks in the monastery, but the scale is large, and some technical aspects are not enough. After all, there are still so many industries in the monastery that need to be maintained, so it is necessary to temporarily hire some accounts, clerical jobs, etc. Some time.

The first test is screened by other colleagues from the festival and recommended by various guilds and intermediaries. When it came time for the re-examination, Yun Yan returned to the school with a few core members. They were all important positions and had to be cautious.

Prior to this, Yun Yanhui had formally apprenticed to his teacher and became a lay disciple. Now it is completely fine to call everyone a brother-in-law.

A teacher nephew came to inform Yun Yan to go back to attend the re-examination. He was looking at the food list of this food festival. After hearing it, he quickly got up, tidyed up his clothes, and went to the monastery where he was interviewing.

Yun Yanhui and four other seniors were sitting in a row drinking tea. Before the interviewer came in, one senior said: “I just talked to those who took the exam outside, but there is a very good student who is a scholar, although I failed many times, but when I chatted with him, I still felt quite capable, but luck was not good.”

“What’s your name? If it’s not too bad, just talk about it later. If you have a good character, then hire it.” Yun Yan said back and took a sip of tea.

The brother said: “That’s great, I have asked, this person has a surname of Gongsun Mingce.”

“Puff!!” Yun Yan replied with a sip of tea so that the senior man’s face was full.
