Chapter 74
When Meng Xinzhi and Zongji discussed history, they also forgot that they were practicing Tai Chi.

Meng Xinzhi still believed in her own memory, she asked inexplicably: "Which historical data in the Zhou Dynasty said that the people depended on food?"

"It's in the "Book of Zhou" in the "Shangshu"." Zong Ji put it off.

"Where is this sentence in "Shangshu Zhoushu"?"

"In "Shangshu·Zhoushu·Hong Fan", did you mention the eight kinds of government affairs of the country? [One is eclipse, the other is goods]. The first thing to bear the brunt is [food], followed by [goods]. The sky and the goods come next."

Zong Ji paused, and sighed: "I didn't understand before, why you young people always say that you are [food goods], after careful research, it turns out that [food goods] already existed in the Zhou Dynasty. "

Meng Xinzhi was amused by Zong Ji's serious nonsense: "Father is really talented."

"Where is it, if you want to talk about talent, it's you young people who are talented. Even Ah Yi said that he is a foodie." Zongji continued to be serious, "Nowadays young people are so good at citing scriptures one by one, it really makes us middle-aged and old people People are ashamed."

"Father, you are changing the concept secretly. [Shihuo] refers to the country's economy and finance in the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"Where did you steal it? "Shangshu Zhoushu Hong Fan" says that there are eight kinds of government affairs in the country, [one is food, the other is goods, the third is worship, the fourth is Sikong, the fifth is Situ, the sixth is Sikou, and the seventh is Bin, Master Bayue]. Ah Xin, Dad will ask you, is this the original text?"

"There is nothing wrong with the original text."

"Isn't it over?"

"Father, this sentence clearly says that the first is agriculture, the second is commodities, the third is sacrifices, the fourth is engineering, the fifth is education, the sixth is law and order, the seventh is guests, and the eighth is military affairs. "

"Then what is agriculture for? Is it just farmers growing food?"

"Yes, Dad."

"What is the purpose of growing the food? Is it just for eating?"

"Yes, Dad."

"Then [food goods] is [food goods]? Dad will ask you, is the fact clear, is there any problem with the logic?"

"Clear. No problem. Dad."

"So, Dad still admires you young people very much, and you just say [foodie] casually. These two words are simply enlightening and enlightening."

Meng Xinzhi gave Zongji a thumbs up with two thumbs up: "These two words are really level and super cultured."

Zongji responded with the same movement: "That's not true! This is a serious book, from the Four Books and Five Classics."

"Father, when I rob the tomb, I can only take one. Which one should I take first?"

"Ah Xin, what kind of tomb are you robbing? How dangerous is that?"

"I'm talking about writing a tomb-raiding novel. You have to write one piece at a time, right? If I write it, I enter a tomb. I get everything I want. Then I come out. Three sentences or less Is it finished?"

"Ah Xin, it's not dad who said you. If you use a comma, you should be able to finish a sentence." Zong Ji was serious again: "You haven't finished reading this book yet, so you can't read it like a grandmother's foot wrap so quickly." what."

"Dad, you actually said that the tomb robbery novel I customized for you is stinky and long, Dad, don't you want to read it at all!"

"No, no, no, grandma's foot wrap is delicious. Our grandma has never bound her feet at all. Her foot wrap is still embroidered with flowers?"

"real or fake?"

"Really. When it is old enough to be a cultural relic, Dad will show it to you."

"Okay, Dad."

"By the way, Ah Xin, do you know where the promise comes from?"

""Historical Records Biography of Lord Pingyuan"?"

"No, no, no, Sima Qian is still just a recorder. Just because Sima Qian wrote it first, you can't think it's his original."

"Okay, Dad, I will be more rigorous in the future."

"That's right! The saying of keeping a promise is also passed down from the Zhou Dynasty."

"Father, you want to say, Ji Dan [making rituals and making music], right?"

"That's right. It's Ji Dan." Zong Ji emphasized, "It's not the egg we usually eat, you know?"

"Well, the fourth son of Zhou Wen Wang Jichang's surname is Ji, and his name is Dan."

"That's right, Ji Dan established a whole set of rules and regulations to regulate the status and behavior of the aristocratic class, making the Zhou Dynasty strict and strict."

"Well, I know this. The emperor has nine tripods and eight cups, the princes have seven tripods and six cups, the doctor has five tripods and four cups, and the Yuanshi has three tripods and two cups."

"That's why! Only Zhou Tianzi can use nine tripods when he eats. If you say nine tripods, you have nothing to say."

"Papa is right."

"Ah Xin, Dad has always been curious about one thing. If you can enter the Zhou Dynasty in your dream, can you help Dad see?"

"Look at what?"

"Isn't that tripod filled with meat? If you can do a field trip, help Dad see what kind of meat is in the Jiuding that Emperor Zhou ate."

"This is simple, cattle, sheep, suckling pigs, fish, dried meat, tripe, pork, fresh fish, fresh and dried meat."

"Ah Xin, aren't you fooling your father? What's the difference between dried meat and fresh dried meat? Isn't suckling pig and pork both pigs? Isn't fish and fresh fish both fish? Where do they come from?"

"I haven't really studied this seriously, but there is indeed another theory, which says that Jiuding contains beef, mutton, venison, pork, suckling pork, dog, wild duck, pheasant, and chicken."

"That's not right, Ah Xin, look at your other way of saying, pork, suckling pork, aren't they all pork?" Zongji said earnestly: "You major in cultural relics and museums, but your younger sister is a major of cultural relics and museums every day. As you are leading the way, you can't just forget about it casually, knowing what the Emperor Zhou's nine tripods and eight cups are, this is a very meaningful thing."

"Why, Dad?"

"Then you don't know what's there. How can Dad cook you a meal that only the emperor of Zhou can eat? If you haven't eaten Jiuding Bagui, how can Dad have the heart to leave you abroad alone? Eat I can't eat enough, I can't sleep well, I have to clean up, study by myself, and eat by myself..."

"Father, do you want to exaggerate more and more? Later, Professor Nie thought I had grown up so much that I had to be fed by you."

"Does Ah Xin need to be fed?" Zong Ji was full of anticipation.

"It's alright Dad, I lost this game!"

Nie Tianqin looked a little dumbfounded.

In the past 14 years without any estrangement, he thought he had a good relationship with his son, but he never got along to the level of Meng Xinzhi and Zongji.

Is this the legend that you can talk about everything?
