The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Bai Yutang jumped down from the roof, as light as a leaf of duckweed, and after landing firmly, he walked to the window, "What are you doing?"

Yunyan smiled back, and said what she meant, "How, do you intend to write a comment?"

Bai Yutang rubbed his chin, thought for a while, "It sounds interesting."

He has always been picky, especially when it comes to food, he is very delicate, but he has never thought of writing down his feelings and making them known to others.However, now that Yunyan said something back, he was a little moved.

Yun Yan went back to make persistent efforts, "I originally wanted to find a partner from the "Tokyo Daily" reporter for this matter, but they don't know how to eat! In my opinion, no one is more suitable than Wu Ye. You are a person who knows how to eat. He is even more delicious."

Bai Yutang listened, feeling more and more satisfied.

Yun Yan mentioned it again, and when their gourmet essays come out, how will the reader's praise rate hit the editorial board and kick the comic strip?

Encouraged by this, Bai Yutang immediately agreed.

Bai Yutang also likes to look around for some delicious food, and write some essays by the way, it's just a incidental thing.Moreover, Yun Yanhui is a native of Tokyo, and if he wants to lead the way, maybe he can find some hidden delicacies.

Zhao Yunchu supported Yunyan's return to writing essays, but when he saw that Yunyan was going to recruit Bai Yutang into the group, he felt a little bad. Bai Yutang's mouth was honest at best, and cruel at worst. Will it offend many people?

"Then you...do you have to come up with a pseudonym?" Zhao Yunchu suggested that they wear vests, so that no one else would hate me anyway.

Yun Yan replied: "That's right! Master Wu is the editor, do you have any ideas?"

Bai Yutang rolled his eyes, as if he really had some idea.

Yun Yanhui called out in advance: "In this name, cats are not allowed!"

Bai Yutang: "..."

Bai Yutang said angrily, "What do you mean?"

Yun Yan laughed back and said, "It's nothing interesting, just in case you want to call yourself 'Royal Cat His Father' or something, how can I have the face to meet Zhan Weiwei."

Bai Yutang glanced at Yunyan angrily, "If you don't tell me, I really can't think of such an obscene pseudonym!"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yunchu: "Is it a joke?"

Zhao Yunchu glanced at Bai Yutang, and said with a little "difficulty": "Although he didn't win, it's not far away. I think it's entirely possible for Guard Bai to choose such a name..."

Bai Yutang was going to be pissed off by the two of them, "Nonsense, I just wanted to call 'Bai Yu the cat's horse'!"

Both Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu looked at him with incredulous eyes, it was too shameless——

Bai Yutang snorted arrogantly, "You're asking me what I should be called and restricting how I should name it, so why don't you name it yourself and write it yourself!"

As Bai Yutang said that, he was about to walk away.

Yunyan finally caught a suitable companion, how could he let him go, reached out and grabbed Bai Yutang's sleeve, "Farewell, fifth master, let a cat be a horse if a cat is a horse!"

He thought in his heart, at worst, when the time comes, I will throw the blame on your white mouse and ask Zhan Weiwei to argue with you, who will be the horse and who will ride...

At this time, Bai Yutang also thought in his heart, you are so cunning, I will plant you in front of the smelly cat, hehe...

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"That's it!" Bai Yutang said, brushing off his sleeves and lifting his chin.

"Then please take care of Fifth Master." Yun Yan also cupped his hands back.

……

Bai Yutang and Yun Yanhui reached an alliance agreement, and a few days later, Yun Yanhui really planned a gathering of folklore, taking Bai Yutang to eat private dishes.

This private dish was learned by Yun Yanhui when he was in Tianqing Temple. It is the craftsmanship of the master of the Taoist temple. This Taoist layman has been a cook for several generations. His culinary skills have not been left behind.

Moreover, the Taoist also mixed in some mysterious and mysterious things that he had realized, and he could cook five elements and eight trigrams in one meal.

Yunyan came here before, and this time brought Bai Yutang along.Because Yun Yanhui was regarded as one of his own by people from both the Buddhist and Taoist circles in Tokyo, although they didn't come many times, the temple master welcomed them with pleasure and cooked a meal for them.

After Bai Yutang tasted it carefully, he chatted with the viewer again, and even put forward two more constructive opinions.

The chef's culinary skills have been honed through generations and years, and there are no mistakes or omissions, but Bai Yutang has eaten all over the country, and the suggestions he gives are some of the methods that can be applied to other dishes.

The temple master is a monk, so he didn't feel unhappy about other people's opinions. He also promised to give it a try and invite them to eat in the future.

Then, Bai Yutang and Yunyan went back to a very famous restaurant to eat wine and appetizers.

After returning home, Bai Yutang wrote a review as expected.

Yun Yanhui specifically requested that the taste of the dishes be described in detail.Take a look, suddenly happy.The dishes described by Bai Yutang are not only extremely attractive and mouth-watering, but he also describes the cooking process.

Although it is impossible to write all the recipes of other people, the point is that Bai Yutang's writing style is really very... full of taste, writing about the cooking process makes people feel smooth and smooth, and has a subtle refreshing feeling of reading farming writing.Because of the detailed description, when reading, as the food is getting cooked, it seems to be seeing the ingredients with your own eyes and smelling the aroma.

This is not only in line with Yun Yanhui's requirements, it is simply beyond his expectations.

"Okay, okay! Master Wu is really talented!" Yun Yan replied with a big compliment, which made Bai Yutang feel embarrassed because the words he used were so nasty, as if Bai Yutang had written something shocking. Weeping ghosts and gods poems... are actually food reviews!

Yun Yan picked up the pen and handed it to Bai Yutang, "Fifth Master, please give me another score."

Bai Yutang: "Score?"

"Yes, if the full score is [-], how many points does this dish get?" Yun Yan replied.

Bai Yutang pondered carefully, "So, it should be..."

"Wait!" Yun Yan raised her hand back, "It's not a point, it should be a cat!"

Bai Yutang didn't understand, "What do you mean?"

Yunyan smiled back and said: "Let's not say how many points, let's say how many cats, this is more in line with Wu Ye's pen name, and also more in line with our mysterious style."

——Whether scoring or changing the score into a cat, at this time, it is actually a kind of unconventional and eye-catching gimmick. It is to create a maverick author image. To a certain extent, it can improve the authority value and Attention.

Maybe everyone will guess why a dish is divided by one cat, two cats and three cats. Is it to describe how many cats can be attracted by this dish?

In fact, this aroused a kind of concern, and it was pointless to ask Yunyan to reply, if it weren't for the strangeness of marking mice, he would have asked Bai Yutang to mark a few mice.

Of course, this is also based on the fact that the food review is good enough, otherwise it will be written dryly, and no one will have redundant discussions.

Bai Yutang didn't think about it that much, and swiped a pen: "Six cats!"

Although Bai Yutang didn't criticize, but to him, it seems to be just average.

Yun Yan went back and said, "Where is that restaurant later, do you want to write?"

Bai Yutang frowned and said, "That family's food can't be more than two cats, write, I want to criticize it."

——Bai Yutang applied it very quickly, it can be described as a few cats.

When Bai Yutang wrote a food review, Yun Yanhui also drew a fat cat on the side, using Sanmao as the prototype. Although it was a stick figure, it completely captured the essence of the drawing.This is their score.

After Bai Yutang finished writing, Yun Yan went back to read the second article, which was mainly about cursing, and couldn't help but admire it.I always feel... this article more reflects Bai Yutang's strength, or characteristics.

In fact, the appetizers are not unpalatable, on the contrary, many people like them.In the article, Bai Yutang wrote vividly and well-founded how rough their family's appetizers are.It tastes rich at first taste, but in fact, it cannot be tasted at all.

The appetizers of this family, Bai Yutang, did not watch from the kitchen, but he knew exactly how these dishes were made, and the roughness was due to the lack of steps, and he also recalled the exquisite products he had eaten by the way, without comparison, there would be no harm ah.

Although there was no outburst of abuse, it was really hurtful after some evaluation and comparison.

After Yunyan edited and edited the two manuscripts, they sent them to the "Tokyo Daily".

When Yun Yan came back to submit an article, the entire editorial department was very embarrassed.

It stands to reason that many of their people here were brought out by Yunyan from Islam, or brought out by Yunyan's former Muslims. They all know that Yunyan writes news, so there must be no problem.

However, this time, what Yunyan sent back was not news, but food reviews.The writing is very moving, however, they are not sure whether such an article can be published on the literature and art edition.

You know, the current "Tokyo Daily" literature and art section is full of talented people from all walks of life fighting, and suddenly there is an article about food, not to mention the literary talent, first of all, the style of painting is very strange...

Moreover, everyone couldn't evaluate the value of this thing, so after hesitation, they found Hu Hanlin to make a decision.

After reading it, Mr. Hu asked Yun Yanhui why he did this.

Of course it was impossible for Yun Yan to say, I will help you find commercial value, but he was sloppy: "Food is the paramount necessity of the people."

Hu Hanlin shook his head with a smile, "Forget it, let's go up first."

No matter what, Hu Hanlin would give Yunyan a try because of his knowledge of this industry. Anyway, he knew that he had never failed before.

……

The food review of "Bai Yu is a horse for the cat" was published, and after a few issues, it established a certain influence.

There is no editorial recommendation, so it is stuck in the literature and art section. At first, some scholars saw it and doubted their own eyes.What the hell, why did a food diary suddenly appear between poems and songs?

Looking at it again, the text is not fancy but quite smart, and the description is subtle, making people hungrier the more they read, the hungrier the more they read...

At the end, almost everyone ran to get something to eat.If there is food on hand, it will gradually feel dull.

Then, when it spread to the eyes of ordinary people, it caused even bigger waves.Bianjing has a lot of delicious food, and there are also a lot of foodies. Seeing that the writing is so attractive, they naturally want to come to the door to have a big meal.

And the comments criticizing the restaurant are also well written.

Not many people have eaten the restaurant’s private dishes, but many people have eaten in that restaurant. They thought it was good before, but after reading it now, especially the high-quality food that the author has eaten in it, compare it with the shortcomings pointed out by the author. A confirmation——ah, isn’t that exactly the case!

Although the author's diction is sharp, and he swears extremely harshly without a single dirty word, it is well-founded. After reading the whole article, I just feel that the criticism is hearty and convincing, which renews my yearning for the top grade.Almost everyone who has seen it agrees that the author must be a gourmet.

There are also many people who are concerned about the fact that this "Bai Yu cooks horses for cats" has rated several dishes, and he uses "cats" for ratings.For example, there are two cats drawn behind the delicacy of the appetizers in restaurants, while the highest private dishes in Taoist temples have six cats.

So here comes the question, how many cats are the full value?How many cats pass?Are there levels below cats?How big is the difference for a cat?Why use cats as a comparison...

All of a sudden, a lot of discussions came out, and the attention of "Bai Yu is a horse for the cat" rose steadily. After a few food reviews were released steadily, the supporters also rose.By reading this person's articles, not only can you grasp food information, but you can also learn some cooking tips from time to time...

This is really like Yun Yanhui said, it has become a clear stream in the literature and art section, making other literati quite speechless.

Not to mention other writers and writers, Li Zeyun was speechless. I didn't expect that Mr. Yun would really get people to come out, and although the popularity is not as popular as the search for love column, according to the reader survey, it is rising steadily!

——Leaving aside these foreign things, the fame of "Bai Yu as a horse for the cat" has most affected Yun Yanhui. It should be that after the attention of food reviews increased, people in Kaifeng Mansion inevitably saw it.

Zhan Zhao took the newspaper and forced Yun Yanhui and Bai Yutang to come, he said firmly, "You guys wrote this."

Bai Yutang and Yun Yanhui all looked at him innocently, but under Zhan Zhao's awe-inspiring aura, they were quickly defeated.With Zhan Zhao's judgment and understanding of them, it's not surprising at all to guess.

Bai Yutang didn't even want to hide it, he simply took off his vest, "It's us!"

Zhan Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're still reasonable...Yutang, what are you doing stepping on me for having a pseudonym?"

Don't say that the cat in "a cat makes a horse" is not referring to him.

Yun Yanhui rubbed her hands secretly, here it comes, it's time to shake the pot!

Just as he was about to speak, Bai Yutang calmly spoke first, "I'm working with Zhuifeng on food reviews, and I share his pen name with him."

Zhan Zhao immediately looked at Yun Yanhui, and said helplessly, "Zhufeng..."

Yun Yanhui didn't realize it at first, and then she yelled in her heart that she was cheating!

Bai Yutang said that he and Yunyan were one and a half, this "Bai Yu is the cat and the cat" is divided into half and half, "Bai Yu is the hall" is self-evident, so isn't "the cat and the horse" just...? !

Yun Yan looked at Bai Yutang sadly and angrily: I didn't expect you to have such a deep routine...
