Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Guan Jiujiu smiled wryly and said: "Great Talent Chen just came here a short time ago, he said he wanted to wait for Your Excellency to return home to discuss business matters with you. As for Mr. Yu Shinan, hey , have been living in our house for several days. This old master, insisting on not leaving, insists on us eating and drinking for him, saying that we are waiting for you to come back. "

Ok?

Guo Ye smiled, which was in line with Yu Shinan's informal old urchin style.

Immediately, he nodded and said, "Boss Yu is not an ordinary person. Others can't invite him if they want. Let's go, he must have something important to see me. Where are the two of them now?"

Guan Jiujiu pointed to the courtyard where the study was located, and said in a low voice: "It's in your study, I guess I'm eating and drinking old wine in your study right now."

"Damn, they are so good at finding a place, they actually eat and drink in my study?"

Guo Ye started his steps and ran towards the study while speaking.

Guan Jiujiu took advantage of the opportunity to make up his mouth, and said, "We don't dare to disobey what Boss Yu asked. He asked his servants to make a stove, cut up the mutton, and ask for such a big soup pot..."

Guan Jiujiu gestured with both hands.

Guo Ye understood instantly, Nima, are you going to cook hot pot in my study?

"I'm second-guessed, you bastard, this old fox really knows how to enjoy it." In desperation, Guo Ye couldn't help but scolded, "What if my study room is ordered?"

Guan Jiujiu was speechless, so he could only follow closely.

Guo Ye quickened his pace. Although he was cursing and dissatisfied, he was calm and sober in his heart. He secretly thought about it. His Majesty Li Er has not followed up on that matter for a long time. Maybe the answer lies with Yu Shinan.

After thinking about it, Guo Ye did not forget to urge Guan Jiujiu behind him: "Lao Guan, follow up, hurry up!"

Chapter 677 Sitting Around the Fireplace

In a hurry all the way, Guo Ye led Guan Jiujiu to the study and broke in.

bang~

He kicked the two doors and they opened in response.

Good guy!

A choking smell of mutton came to the nostrils, almost fainting Guo Yexun.I saw that the room was filled with mist and smog, just like the fire.

Grandma, Guo Ye looked at the room with black lines all over his face, and looked at Yu Shinan and Chen Kang under the mist, and they were actually cooking hot pot in the study.

The earliest literature on the way of eating hot pot can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Pi, the son of Cao Cao, proclaimed himself emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty.In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, people used hot pot to cook various meat such as pigs, cattle, sheep, chicken, fish, etc. In the period of Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty, even rich and noble families made copper tripods to cook and eat.

So it is not new for shabu-shabu to appear in the Tang Dynasty.During the Tang and Song Dynasties, in Taiwan and southern Fujian, hot pot was a great festive event.On New Year's Eve, the whole family sits around a round table with a hot pot to have a meal together, which is called "encircling the stove".

Therefore, there is also the saying of sitting around the stove, which means that several generations live together, and members of the whole family.

But cooking hot pot in the serious study room, Yu Shinan and Chen Kang, the old and young talents, are truly unprecedented and unprecedented.

Guo Ye's sudden movement naturally alarmed Yu Shinan and Yu Shinan. Both of them turned their heads and saw Guo Ye standing at the door with an expression of displeasure, and immediately stopped the bowls and chopsticks in their hands.

Wearing a gray robe, with a smoky face, and the corners of his mouth dripping with oil, Yu Shinan stood up first, and laughed at Guo Ye with an old disrespectful look: "You boy will come back sooner rather than later." , the old man and Zhong Da just put the mutton into the pot, and you came back. Come, come, come, it’s better to come here, hurry up and take a seat."

Chen Kang also stood up one after another. Seeing that Guo Ye's face was a little strange, he said hello to Guo Ye a little embarrassedly, and then invited Guan Jiujiu beside Guo Ye: "Guan Xiucai, come, it's better to meet by chance, or better to meet you." How about sitting around the fire and enjoying delicious food together?"

Chen Kangnai is the head of Sheyang Academy, and he has a great reputation among the poor and wealthy students all over the world. Naturally, Guan Jiujiu has heard of him for a long time.

Now being invited by Chen Kang and Chen Zhongda to eat, Guan Jiujiu, who has never forgotten his identity as a scholar, naturally has a glorious face and looks eager to try.

Suddenly, he looked at Guo Ye with a bad expression, so he could only suppress his greed and vanity, smiled sarcastically, and cupped his hands to refuse: "Hey, thank you, Mr. Chen Shan, for your kindness. My lord probably has something to do with you." The two discuss it. I'll just wait outside the study."

After finishing speaking, Guan Laoxiu exited the study with great foresight and took the initiative to close the door.

Without further ado, Guo Ye walked into the room and opened the windows repeatedly to let the study room breathe.

Yu Shinan and Chen Kang looked at each other and looked at each other.Yu Shinan is old-fashioned and old-fashioned, what a shrewd eye.

Immediately, he asked Guo Ye: "Boy Guo, do you see that you are in a bad mood?"

Guo Ye curled his lips and snorted, "Master Yu, if I were to light the stove and cook hot pot in your study, would your old man be in a good mood?"

"Haha, other people's study is used for learning and learning. Isn't your kid's study just a decoration? As for being so serious?"

Yu Shinan laughed twice, and said: "Okay, my generation of scholars just want to cook hot pot in a place where they study and learn, which is the most suitable for the occasion. You are also ignorant, such a good study room Here you are, really blind."

"Oh, who are you to say that you are ignorant? This is not your own study, is it?"

Guo Ye was ridiculed by Yu Shinan again, and his mood became more and more unhappy.

Yu Shinan didn't take it seriously, he waved his hands and said, "Okay, don't stand around stupidly, let's sit around the stove and eat something together. Let me tell you, the mutton is absolutely fresh today, you can smell the mutton smell , tsk tsk, that's a show..."

"Yes, yes." Chen Kang next to him was not as familiar with Guo Ye as Yu Shinan after all, so he could only invite with a smile, "Master Guo, I saw your study today. You have everything in the collection of classics and history. There are so many rare classics that opened Chen’s horizons. No wonder, no wonder Guo Ye’s eyes widened because of his drunken poems. Let’s sit down first, eat something while it’s hot and fresh.”

Hearing Chen Kang's words, Guo Ye's expression changed a lot.Then he glared at Yu Shinan, who was old and disrespectful, and sat down resentfully, picking up the bowl and chopsticks.

Yu Shinan picked up the bowls and chopsticks again, and yelled at Chen Kang: "Zhongda, come on, you still have some sheep's hooves and tendons on your back, put them all into the copper pot. Only then will it be tasty and strong."

"Oh, okay, my lord will wait a moment."

For a moment, the sound of chewing and chattering sounded in the whole study room. Soon, the three of them were sweating profusely from eating, took off their clothes from time to time, ate and ate with their arms open, and gradually entered the room. Good environment.

……

……

"Hiccup..."

After eating until the bottom of the pot was shallow, Yu Shinan took the lead in belching, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, shook his head and sighed: "Oh, I'm getting old, I really can't accept my old age. Look, I can't even compare to you Young man, this old man chewed on a piece of mutton, and you both ate three or five yuan. It’s really half-grown to eat me to death, and I can’t grab you two calves.”

"Hey, Mr. Yu, how do you talk?" Guo Ye wanted to eat enough, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and said back, "What do you mean a half-grown man eats me to death? Who are you, old man, trying to be? Who are you trying to take advantage of?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Chen Kang with his eyes, and Chen Kang immediately came to understand, and he stood in a united front with Guo Ye, and ran against Yu Shinan with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Yu, you are not eating less. You don't Seeing that the bones and scum in front of you are piled up into mountains, we will snatch them from you? That's called snatching food from the mouth of a tiger, isn't it?"

"Hahaha……"

Yu Shinan was not annoyed at being so stubborn by the two young men. Instead, he laughed freely, then wiped the oil stains around his mouth, and said, "Okay, the soup is full, let's start talking about business. Forgot about the business, the old man has been waiting for you in the Guo Mansion for a few days."

As soon as Yu Shinan said that he wanted to talk about business, Chen Kang who was beside him immediately hid his smile and became quiet.

Guo Ye also mentioned his spiritual leader, thinking to himself, Yu Shinan really came prepared, and has been waiting for me in my mansion.

It seems that the emperor has never had the answer to the following text, and it is in the old man's stomach.

Immediately, he opened his mouth and said, "Master Yu, when I entered the city before, I heard that the streets and alleys in Chang'an City were discussing the imperial edict issued by the emperor. It seems that after you read my letter, go I found the old man, the Supreme Emperor, and I got a lot of money."

"That's right, if I hadn't been moved by what you said in your letter, how could I have made this mess?" Yu Shinan nodded and replied, "I chatted with the Supreme Emperor for a whole night, hehe, fortunately, he is willing to hear Going, also avoided a palace turmoil and a catastrophe in the court."

Guo Ye asked anxiously again: "Then why has there been no movement from the emperor's side since the criminal edict was issued?"
