The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 52 My Friend Is The Mayor

The roe deer meat has a strong smell. In order to cook the roe deer meat, Yunyan turned out the seasonings such as star anise, dogwood, and garlic.

Such a large deer is enough to pack several dishes.Yun Yanhui processed the roe deer and divided it into meat and meat with bones. The meat was used for stir-frying, and the meat with bones was stewed for drinking.

Cut the roe deer meat into pieces, steam it with water first, and add cornel, spring onion, ginger, star anise, green onion and other seasonings on the other side, and fry it with oil.When the roe deer meat is steamed, stir-fry it with clear oil, add salt, soy sauce and rice wine, cut some bamboo shoots in the middle and put them in, stir-fry until it tastes delicious, then pour the previously fried soup base on top and cook for a while, then it can be out of the pot.

As for the meat with bones, it should be stewed slowly until the meat is overcooked and melts in the mouth, and spices are added to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. In this way, the taste is extremely delicious.

In fact, there is another method, which is to eat it raw. Like sashimi, sashimi is the favorite of the Jurchens.But considering that this is ancient times, they don't eat much raw meat, so they gave up deer for hygiene reasons.

Zhao Yunchu followed Yun Yan back, watching him peel and remove the bones, chop the meat and fry it, it was a kind of enjoyment.

Brother Yan can be regarded as a firm practitioner of "never tire of food, never tire of fine food". He always pursues more exquisite food but not the most exquisite food. He cooked two dishes all afternoon.

The roe deer is warm in nature and can nourish deficiency. It is suitable for people like Bao Zheng who are recovering from a serious illness. Yun Yan returned to share a portion of soup, and asked the brothers in the temple to send it to Bao Zheng.

He was thinking, Bao Zheng can see even ghosts, he wonders if he will find out that he is time-traveled...

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

Yunyan scratched her head back, and brought out the two dishes.

Today Zheng Ping and Fu Yunfeng went to the temple fair together, and when the sun went down, Fang came back hand in hand, sighed and smelled the fragrance outside the house.

Shuangyi and Xiaobao didn't know when they came back, anyway, there were a lot of dishes, Yunyan left some to warm on the stove, and everyone ate the rest first.

One was spicy and the other was delicious. Yun Yanhui also cooked a side dish, and the four of them ate very deliciously.

On the other hand, Bao Zheng drank the roe deer broth again, and he couldn't help heaving a long sigh.

Bao Xing then asked: "Why does your lord sigh?"

Bao Zheng pointed to the broth, and said sadly: "Now I live in Xiangguo Temple, and the younger brother of the Yun family will give me food every now and then, all of which are delicious. If I leave the temple in the future, no matter how unpalatable it is, it will make me feel sad."

Bao Xing couldn't help muttering, why did you start to feel sad before you left, is it necessary?Tell him, Lang Jun loves Yange'er's dishes so much because he was impressed by Yange'er's fish when he woke up from a serious illness.

But Bao Xing persuaded: "There are so many delicacies in the world, without Brother Yun, you can find other delicacies."

Bao Zheng could only reluctantly nod his head, thinking about Yun Yanhui's ability to handle affairs, it was even more pity.

Bao Zheng lived in Daxiangguo Temple for three months, every day he played chess with Liaoran, talked about poetry, tried the new dishes Yun Yan returned there, or the delicacies he collected. In the past, it was extremely happy.

Until one day, when Bao Zheng was playing chess with Luan Ran again, suddenly the Prime Minister of the current court, Wang Jian, came to visit.This Xianggong does not mean the husband of later generations, it originally refers to the prime minister, but gradually all high-ranking officials can be honored as Xianggong.

Wang Jian is the prime minister of the current dynasty, so he is naturally called a gentleman. His official position is Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, referred to as Tongping Zhangshi, which literally means leading Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province to discuss state affairs together.However, the power is not as great as that of the previous prime ministers, and it only belongs to the top executive. The power of supervision, military administration, and finance belongs to the Taijian (Yushitai + Jianyuan), the Privy Council, and the Ministry of Households, Yantie, and Duzhi respectively.

But in general, he is still an awesome character.Although awesome, I have not only been to Daxiangguo Temple once or twice.It's just that this time is very different. As soon as he came, he stared straight at Bao Zheng, and then asked about his identity.

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

Facts have proved that the old monk reacted calmly, and actually believed Bao Zheng. This Wang Xianggong did not believe that Wupen could still open his mouth to complain.

However, he came to Daxiangguo Temple to find Bao Zheng, because some time ago, the official family dreamed of a person's face, drew it after waking up, and ordered people to look for it.The people below searched for a long time before they found out that this person was in the Daxiangguo Temple, so Wang Feng made a trip to the Daxiangguo Temple.

Wang Jian's trip was to help the officials find someone, so even if he didn't believe it, he saw that Bao Zheng was indeed exactly the same as the person on the Longtu, so he had to take him back to the Prime Minister's mansion to wait for the officials to summon him.

After Wang Jian left, Yun Yanhui also got the news, and it was calculated that it was the March period that Qing Ran said.

Now Yunyan exploded back.

Damn, the old monk can really tell fortunes.No wonder it was always said that he had a good eye, and he was insisted on being accepted as a disciple. Maybe it will be at that time, and when he arrives at Daxiangguo Temple, he can increase the income of the temple.

Yun Yanhui immediately went to see where he was, forcing him to do another fortune telling for his family.

Knowing that he was speechless for a long time, he returned a divination to Yunyan, and then said: "They are all blessed people, Kang Shun will live a happy life, but Brother Yan, you seem to have a catastrophe this year!"

Yun Yan didn't expect that a hexagram on a whim could be calculated as a calamity, so she immediately said vigilantly: "What calamity?"

"I don't know about this. This catastrophe is very important to you, but there is no fear of life, but it will have a great impact on your future." Because there is no danger of life, Qingming doesn't seem very worried.

"That's it..." Yun Yan thought about it and thought that it might be a catastrophe. Wouldn't that have a great impact on the future? Not to mention, he is really attractive to young ladies, "Then I'll just go with it .”

However, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Well, in a few days we will make a ceremony, and you will formally worship under my sect and be my ordinary disciple."

Yun Yan was surprised, and immediately understood that this move might be because of his catastrophe, knowing that he is not an ordinary monk now, if the two of them have formally passed the Ming Road and become masters and apprentices, they will have a certain protection for Yun Yan. use.

Thanks to Jie Ran's care over the years, since he made this request, it was for his own good, of course Yun Yanhui would not refuse, even if Dang agreed, he was just a little entangled, "Our little treasure is also your disciple, and he is better than me. Let’s get started first, if I become an apprentice in a few days, wouldn’t I become Xiaobao’s junior? I always feel something is wrong.”

Knowing that it was Yun Yan's return to be single-minded just now, it was funny to think of this after listening to him, "That's right, it's just that it can't be done, there is a priority in getting started, you can only call Brother Xiaobao."

"Alas..." Yun Yan couldn't help but sigh after recalling their family's seniority.

Think about it, Shuang Yi is older than him, but he calls Shuang Yi a younger sister, and Shuang Yi often calls her brother and younger brother.Xiaobao is younger than him, so he should be called brother, but now he has to be called Senior Brother Xiaobao.This doesn't even count the Zheng Ling who often screams indiscriminately... How can it be a gibberish!

……

Three days later, news came from the Kaifeng mansion that Bao Zheng was taken by Wang Jian to see the officials, but he didn't know how to play it right, but he won the trust of the officials, his fame was restored, and he was promoted to the young official of the Kaifeng mansion. , Feng Yin Yang Bachelor.

Kaifeng Fu Shao Yin is a very important position. On the surface, it seems that he is only the second in command, and there is a Kaifeng Fu Yin on top.However, in fact, the people in charge of the prefect of Kaifeng are all from the royal family. For example, the first emperor Zhenzong was the prefect of Kaifeng before he came to the throne.

It was precisely because the emperor had served as this official that he did not always set up the governor of Kaifeng government. The actual top leader of Kaifeng government was Shao Yin or an official appointed temporarily, that is, "the right to know the affairs of Kaifeng government".

Knowing the meaning of management, power is power, temporarily, temporarily manage the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion.Like Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan, when they were the bosses of Kaifeng Mansion, they had the authority to know the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion.Such an important position equivalent to the mayor of the capital actually means that the government has to reuse it.

How unreasonable is it for Bao Zheng to be able to gain the trust of the officials, soaring from a small county magistrate to this position at such a young age, how thick is the golden finger?

Anyway, Yun Yanhui was very moved by this unreasonable...

After Bao Zheng entered the Kaifeng Mansion, he came to Daxiangguo Temple to pay a visit, and thanked him again for his life-saving grace.Not only did his attitude not change because he became an official, but he became more affectionate, and he also specially thanked the people at the beginning, Yun Yanhui and others for encouraging him again and again.

As a friend of the current official, not to mention Bao Dahui's favoritism and perversion of the law, but Daxiangguo Temple will definitely be able to deal with various matters with Kaifeng Mansion in the future.

Yun Yan went back to inquire and found out that the people were indeed gossips. It didn't take long for the Wupen case to spread to the market, and some disciples of Zhang Shanren deliberately collected information about this case.

It is also said that Bao Zheng's rather provocative title of "Yin-Yang Scholar" was given to him as a special case because the officials knew that he could understand Yin-Yang and was good at examining ghosts.

All of a sudden, Bao Zheng also became a celebrity in Tokyo City, and gained more attention than the previous top leaders of Kaifeng Mansion.

……

Unknowingly, this year's Daxiangguo Temple International Food Festival is about to start again.

After this year's development, the Daisangukoji International Food Festival has become one of the symbols of Tokyo, and its scale is getting bigger and bigger.This year, Yun Yanhui needs to post notices and hire temporary workers.

In the past, it was enough to use the monks in our own temple, but the large scale is not enough in some technical aspects. After all, there are so many industries in the temple that need to be maintained, so we need to temporarily hire some accounting, clerical and other jobs a period of time.

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

Previously, Yun Yanhui had formally become a disciple of the common sect, and now it is completely fine for everyone to call each other brothers.

A nephew came to inform Yunyan to go back to attend the re-examination. He was looking at the food list of this food festival. When he heard this, he got up quickly, tidied his clothes, and went to the Buddhist monastery where the interview was held.

Yun Yan went back to sit in a row drinking tea with the other four senior brothers. Before the interviewer came in, one senior brother said: "I just chatted with those who took the exam outside, but there is a very good one who is a scholar. Although He failed many times, but when I chatted with him, I felt that he still had some skills, but his luck was not good."

"What's the name? If it's not too bad, let's chat casually later. If you have a good character, then you can hire me." Yun Yan replied, taking a sip of tea.

The brother said: "That's very good, I have already asked, this person's surname is Gongsun Mingce."

"Pfft!!" Yun Yan replied with a sip of tea, spraying that senior brother's face all over.
