Chapter 31

After the new year, when the earth returns to spring, Bai Fan's new house is finally built, so he no longer lives in the Laojun Temple, after all, he also needs to support his personal family business!

And when Bai Fan moved away, he also left a surprise for his nephew Li Chunfeng!

That is to once again sweep away all the [-] copies of Taoist scriptures that Li Chunfeng had worked so hard to copy for a month!As a result, Li Chunfeng sat on the ground and wept bitterly for half an hour when he came back from helping Bai Fan move.

God damn thieves!Came to loot just after copying?Don't tell Master Dao to catch you, or you will be cut into pieces!

Pity me for copying the book for a month...

After Yuan Tiangang heard it from the next door, he covered his eyes and said to himself, as a teacher, he can only express his deep sympathy!

Bai Fan's new house was not on the original site, but directly built on his remaining ten acres of Susukida. Anyway, the sage gave another [-] acres of fertile land, and these ten acres of Susukida were just right for building a house!
The mansion built according to Bai Fan's plan, from the outside, gives people the first impression of grandeur, although it is elegant but not shabby, it has a simple and simple atmosphere.

After entering the courtyard, it gives people a pleasing feeling. Although there are no carved beams and painted buildings, no pavilions, but the exquisite layout of the courtyard, coupled with the various flowers and plants specially selected by Bai Fan, makes the small courtyard beautiful in all seasons. There are flowers blooming, especially in the front yard for hospitality.

After Fang Xuanling supervised the construction, he already loved this small courtyard, and joked that he would buy this house from Bai Fan!
Master Yan Lide, who was in charge of the construction, spent money to buy Bai Fan's construction blueprints. In the end, Bai Fan offered to give him the blueprints as a reward. Yan Lide promised that Bai Fan would ask him for construction matters in the future, and he would not take any money!

The backyard is more rigorously built by Bai Fan. After all, there are many private places in the backyard. There are many houses in the front yard. It is also for the convenience of Bai Fan to receive students' teaching and accommodation in the future.

People he knew came to congratulate Bai Fan's housewarming. Cheng Motou, Changsun Wuji, Yu Shinan, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yuan Tiangang's master and apprentice, and Bai Fan's disciples were really lively. !

Even His Royal Highness Qin Wang and Qin Wangfei also sent people to send gifts. Surprisingly, the Prince's Mansion also sent gifts. While others were puzzled, Bai Fan accepted them all!
When Bai Fan was planning the mansion before, he said that there is no need for servants, maids and others, everything is self-reliant, so today everyone is also surprised, there is no one to help, so how will Bai Fan entertain so many guests?

With a plan in mind, Bai Fan invited a few neighbors in the village to help him buy some food. He took four apprentices and got busy in the kitchen. Those apprentices never knew that their master had such skills?Is this about cooking yourself?

An hour later, everyone believed it. It turned out that the master not only knows how to cook, but his cooking skills are unparalleled in the world. It is estimated that no one in Datang can compare to him in terms of food!

Just as a group of help cooks, the four apprentices couldn't help but eat half full in the kitchen. At first, Chang Sun Chong questioned, the ancients said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen!Later, he and Cheng Huaimo had the best time with their chopsticks!
I sent some to several elders and uncles in the village, and threw a small case of wine and food to Li Chunfeng and a group of disciples to make fun of them. Bai Fan personally accompanied the guests in the living room!
Although Bai Fan was sweating profusely after being busy all this time, he was extremely happy in his heart that he had finally settled down in this Tang Dynasty!
After Bai Fan arranged everything, when he came to the guests, he was surprised to see that no one moved their chopsticks. Why?Could it be that you are not used to my craft?
You know, there was no stir-frying in this era. Datang still inherited the eating method of Qin and Han Dynasties. Most of the food was steamed and grilled, and the guests were seated as small seats!
I should be able to bite off their tongues if I am good at cooking at my table, why did I miscalculate?

"My lords, my elder brothers, why is the meal I prepared today not to your liking? Why didn't you move your chopsticks?" Bai Fan asked with a salute.

I saw everyone sitting upright, no one spoke, Yu Shinan, the oldest person on the left, said seriously: "Da Lang, do you know a sage's saying 'a gentleman stays away from the kitchen'?"

Bai Fan almost fell to the ground, why not call him a big man?Although it's an affectionate term to call it the top of my family in this era, but when I hear this, I can't help but think of the Wuhan University that sells cooking cakes!

I thought it was because of a few people, but it turned out to be this sentence, is this going to teach me a lesson?
"Old Yu, everyone knows what Meng Sheng said!"

Yu Shinan said sharply: "Since you know, why do you still go to that filthy place where the kitchen is? After all, you are now a teacher, how can you not set an example? And you brought a group of apprentices to do such a disgraceful thing?"

Bai Fan also sorted out his mood, and said seriously: "Mr. Yu's words are not agreeable to Fan!

Students who don’t think it’s wrong to teach themselves to be able to cook and eat by themselves, although they are born rich and well-clothed, but the so-called peace of mind, if one day they are so poor that they can’t afford to hire a cook or go to a restaurant?Can't cook by yourself, don't know how to live by then?
Fan has only read one book of Analects since he was a child, but Kong Sheng did not say this in the Analects!
Since it was Meng Sheng who said this, what about Meng Sheng before?I don't know if Kong Sheng can join the kitchen?I don't know if Fu Shengyan will return to the kitchen or not?As far as Fan knows, Kong Sheng grew up in poverty, and later he had to serve his mother!Fu Sheng Yan Hui suffered even more, and the poor are almost unable to get rid of it!Don't they cook for themselves and hire a cook?
Since Kong Sheng and Fu Sheng both cooked with their own hands, why no one said they were not gentlemen? "

this!you!Yu Shinan was a little poor at words, where did this kid come up with so many fallacies?
Yuan Tiangang suppressed a smile in his heart, and still wanted to educate my junior brother?Don't you know the iron mouth of teachers and students?Isn't old Yutou asking for trouble?
Cheng Yaojin even complained, looking at the delicious food, hearing that the boys next door were fighting because of the food, he was really itchy, but he met old man Yu, damn it, bad luck!
Fang Xuanling said: "But since Meng Sheng, the world has followed this sentence, how do you explain it? Could it be that Meng Sheng is really wrong?"

Bai Fan shook his head and said: "No, no, on the contrary, Meng Sheng's words are correct, but they were misinterpreted by later generations. Meng Sheng's original words were like this: A gentleman is like a beast, he cannot bear to see him die when he sees its life; Hearing his voice, he couldn't bear to eat his meat. Therefore, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen.

This is when Meng Sheng persuaded King Xuan of Qi to practice benevolence and not to do evil!

From this, everyone should see that this is taken out of context by future generations, so it is us future generations who have misunderstood it, and Meng Sheng is right!
Today, in order to thank everyone, Fan personally cooks and entertains everyone. It is not only self-reliance, but also an expression of respect for everyone. You can't use such fallacies to teach me, a little scholar!Especially you, Mr. Yu, no matter how old you are, but in the face of dialectical knowledge of right and wrong, everything will not let you! "

"Well, you little scholar, you have to be reasonable and unforgiving. After enduring it for a long time, the old man is also hungry, and I will come to argue with you after the old man is full!" Yu Shinan understood the truth, so he stopped entangled and joked Started to move the chopsticks with one sound!
Everyone burst into laughter, and the old devil directly picked up the nearest plate in front of him and slid it into his mouth!

Bai Fan said with a smile in his heart, he didn't expect old man Yu to have such a funny side!

A big meal carefully prepared by Bai Fan was enjoyed by both guests and hosts. Since then, the name of Bai Fan gourmet has spread in this small circle, so I will see him from time to time in the Bai Mansion. Come to eat in various names!
Since the Cheng Huaimo brothers were all brought by Bai Fan's side recently, their playmates Yuchi and Baolin brothers could not find anyone for many days, so the two of them sent someone to invite the Cheng family brothers to Wangjinglou for dinner to catch up on the old days and see why they disappeared for so many days.

Not long after the food and wine were served, Cheng Huaimo spit out a large piece of mutton that he ate into his mouth, "Bah, bah, bah! This is too unpalatable, what the hell! It's extremely fishy, ​​and it's just a piece of fat lamb stew. What about our three taels of silver! It really is a black shop!"

Yuchi Baolin was very surprised, and said with an unhappy face: "Old Cheng (I don't know what this guy is called when he meets Cheng Yaojin, is he also called Lao Cheng?), how come you haven't seen the taste change in a few days? Brother, but I ordered your favorite fat lamb stew! You don’t need to spit it out if you don’t appreciate it, you’re embarrassing me on purpose, right?”

"It's really unpalatable, it's too unpalatable. I don't want to eat, big brother. The food in this store is unpalatable. It's not as good as the master's cooking! Let's go back and let the master cook delicious food!" Cheng Huailiang also threw his chopsticks and shouted loudly. shouted.

So Cheng Huaimo explained: "Dahei, it's not me targeting you! Recently, our brother recognized a master who has a special skill in cooking, and I can eat a piece of my rice bowl every time I make it! "

real or fake?Yuchi Baolin brothers expressed doubts!
Cheng Huaimo pulled Yuchi Baolin, and said loudly: "Let's go! Let's take you to eat once and you'll know. Compared with the chef's stir-fried dishes, the dishes here are porpoise food. It's really a black shop. Humph! Little Blackie, let's go !"

A few people dragged and left Wangjinglou, and went directly to Sanyuan to find Bai Fan!
At this moment, a young man in Huayi summoned a waiter at a table next to each other in Wangjing Building, "Go and call Cui Ping!"

Shopkeeper Cui of the restaurant hurried over, "Second Young Master, what do you want me to do?"

"Go, send someone to find out who the boys sitting at this table are, and who is the master they are talking about? If it is done well, maybe our restaurant's business may explode!" Mr. Huayi ordered.

It turned out that this person was the second son of the long house sent by the Cui family of Qinghe. The last time Bai Fan wrote a poem in Wangjinglou, which caused the restaurant's business to explode, the Cui family directly sent the second son of the direct line to send 1000 taels of condolences to Cui Ping, the shopkeeper.

Coincidentally, I overheard the conversation between Cheng Huaimo and the others while eating, so when I rolled my eyes, I thought of a plan!
Bai Fan didn't know that his good apprentice had caused him a lot of trouble without knowing it. At this time, he was playing the role of primary school principal and head chef full-time, concentrating on making delicious food for the little devils. !
