In the small interior of Shanzhai, it is secluded and quiet, with the mountain breeze blowing.Song Xi stroked his long beard and said with a smile, "There is nothing in the mountains, only the mountain springs to cook clear tea, four kinds of tea and fruit, and chat to entertain distinguished guests from far away." Opposite him, the guests sitting are from Meizhou. He came to Qin Sui of Dongcang Academy, after Qin Jiushao.

"This tea fruit is probably one of the delicacies mentioned in Mr.'s letter." In the letter Qin Sui received, except for half a page of knowledge discussion, the rest is full of pages, all of which are shared by the old man about Dongcang Academy. The delicacies are described in extremely detailed words, making the viewers salivate as if they were there.

Song Xi laughed and nodded, "Ever since I came here, my waist has grown a few inches. The Dongcang Academy is beautiful, with delicious food. Zihe is coming this time. You might as well stay here to feel the feeling. If you like it, you can stay if you don't." Teaching in an academy is better than burying your great talent in the countryside."

Qin Sui's temperament was very straightforward, and he said directly: "I took the liberty of visiting this time to ask Mr. Xie about the mathematical principles behind Huarong Dao." It turned out that the person Han Ji said came to visit Xie Shi It was this Qin Sui who was obsessed with learning and couldn't figure it out, so much so that he came all the way to ask for advice.

Song Xi also knew that he had such a blunt and uncommunicative personality, and he only focused on studying the methods of mathematics and science. Otherwise, with his knowledge, why would he only be a teacher in a remote private school, so Song Xi didn't mind, "I didn't expect The Huarong Dao chessboard invented by Mr. Xie is so strange that everyone like you is stumped. It seems that if you want to let you go out of the mountain, you have to use this difficult problem of calendar and mathematics to lure you. I used to I invited you, but you didn't agree to come over."

Qin Sui didn't know how to answer, and Song Xi was only joking, and didn't really blame him, "But that Mr. Xie is a kind person, and he recently took in and resettled a group of refugees who went south to Dale County. Now that he's not in the mountains, Zihe may be killed. Been waiting for a while."

Qin Sui didn't expect that there would be refugees in Le County now, and his attention was immediately diverted, "Where did these refugees come from? Why did they come here?"

Song Xi sighed melancholy, "The Yellow River broke its mouth, thousands of miles of dikes burst, and the fertile fields were flooded, but the imperial court still imposed heavy taxes and imposed 15 civilian husbands to manage them, which aroused public anger. Two months ago, the remnants of the Qinglian Sect rebelled against Yingzhou. Now, these are all fleeing famine from all over the Central Plains.”

Qin Sui didn't have the slightest affection for the Qinglian Sect who pretended to be evil. "The people are virtuous, and the common people suffer. I just didn't expect that there are still remnants of the Qinglian Sect. Now it seems that it has revived."

Song Xi also hated him deeply, "They even used the name of the ninth grandson of His Majesty the previous dynasty to incite the people to rebel."

When Qin Sui heard the words, he was furious, "It's just eaten up, the blood of the royal family, how can we allow others to defile it, even those who rely on ghosts and gods to confuse the people are worthy of it?!"

Seeing that Qin Sui was so angry with the news that the veins on his forehead were throbbing, wishing to go to the Qinglian Sect to fight for his life, Song Xi smiled instead, and said: "But the clown, why are you and me here... Let's not talk about that, Quickly taste the tea fruit from the academy, pair it with a cup of green tea, and calm down the fire."

Hearing this, Qin Sui knew he had lost his composure, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, sat down slowly, took a sip of the tea as he said, and ate the fruit.Perhaps it was true as Song Xi said, the afternoon tea in the canteen of the academy relieved the summer heat, Qin Sui somehow calmed down and returned to his former calmness and reticence.

On the carriage, Xie Shi asked curiously: "Who is the visitor that Brother Han just mentioned? Do I know him?" Xie Shi guessed in his heart, could it be Yuan Bo's former classmate or friend?Then he has to remember well, so as not to reveal his flaws.

Han Ji said, "Ah Shi doesn't know this person."

Xie Shi was puzzled, since they were not acquaintances, why did they come to the door?Han Ji then sent Mr. Song Xi a letter to his friends far away, talking about Xie Shi's Huarongdao chessboard, "That one is after Qin Jiushao. According to Song Gong, he has the style of his father, and I am afraid he came for Huarongdao."

It is said that Xie Shi's entire claws are numb. Is this the side effect of the traverser pretending to be b?I never expected that I was just a small game I played out of boredom, and it actually attracted the favor of ancient mathematics masters.But the point is, Xie Shi knows his own family affairs. He is not a mathematics major, so he will definitely not be able to handle Qin Sui, a leader in the mathematics field. What's more, even in modern times, Hua Rongdao's mathematical principles are studied by so many scientists. , have not studied clearly, let alone him?

At this moment, Xie Shi wanted Han Ji to send him back wherever he came from. Although it was shameful to escape, it was useful!Han Ji, who had been paying attention to him silently, noticed something wrong with his expression, and asked, "But what's wrong? If Ah Shi doesn't want to see outsiders, then it's fine. Anyway, it's not someone who must be seen."

Xie Shi was amused by his words, perhaps infected by the fearlessness and indifference between Han Ji's brows, he felt relaxed at this moment.In fact, there is nothing to worry about. The person who first invented this game, did he understand the hidden mathematical principles behind it?He is just a mortal who enjoys having fun, he just made it up to play after he saw this little game by accident in a book.I just feel sorry for Master Qin, who is said to have come from Meizhou to ask for advice.

Xie Shi shook his head, and shared his state of mind with Han Ji, "I was just afraid that Master Qin, who came from afar, would come here in a hurry and return disappointed. After all, I don't know anything about mathematics, and I'm afraid I can't answer his question." gone."

Han Ji didn't understand why he had such thoughts, "Ah Shi has the talent to know the world, if Ah Shi is a real tool for ruling the country, such as swords, he will be a general in the world, but he just doesn't understand mathematics, so why not be disappointed? ?”

After he finished speaking, Xie Shi looked at him with an indescribable expression on his face. Han Ji was puzzled and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Xie Shi wanted to ask Han Ji what happened, what kind of mysterious power made him, a taciturn male god, spit out such words of praise like a fanboy.

Listen, the talents of Jingtianweidi, who is this talking about?Not to mention that there is a tool for governing the country and a leader in the world. After hearing this, Xie Shi, the person involved, must doubt which parallel time and space Han Ji is talking about.

Back at the academy, Xie Shi didn't go to see the visitor immediately. He took a look at the sky and said, "Since you are a distinguished guest from Lingnan who came here specially to find me, why not let me be the host today? Can Brother Han accompany you?" Han Ji naturally Will not refuse.

What Xie Shi thought was that this Qin Sui from Meizhou, Guangdong can be regarded as his fellow countryman, and the Lingnan cuisine he is good at must also suit the appetite of this guest, so he can use this to show him some respect Apologies for coming a long way and getting nothing.

When Han Ji saw Xie Shi insisted, he let him go, and sent someone to invite Song Xi and Qin Sui from the study for him, and they both went happily.

The sun is approaching, and the night has not yet set, Xie's mansion welcomed the guests who came to the banquet.After Qin Sui was also invited to the banquet, he asked Song Xi only to find out that the Mr. Xie he was looking for was currently working as the head chef in the canteen of the academy.

The old god Song Xi said: "He not only has the talents of Yi Yin, but also the cooking skills of Yi Yin." In history, Yi Yin was the first cook from the cook to the slaughter, and he was not only the ancestor of cooking, but also a famous minister in the Shang Dynasty.When Song Xi compared Xie with Yi Yin, he was not only talking about Xie's talent, but also his cooking skills.It has to be said that such a strange person, even Qin Sui, who is obsessed with mathematics and science, is also curious.

It was people like Song Xi and Qin Sui who invited guests to the door, so Xie Shi naturally went to the door to greet them in person, accompanied by Han Ji who had come to Xie's mansion early.

When Song Xi saw Han Ji who was following Xie Shi, he was surprised from the bottom of his heart. It seemed that Mr. Xie was very important to Han Ji. After all, Qin Zihe didn't have such a big face to let someone of his status take the initiative to greet him.When they met, Xie Shi felt that he was a junior, so he first saluted them and introduced himself, Song Xi then introduced Qin Sui to Xie Shi and Han Ji.

After a while of greetings, everyone sat down.As soon as the guests are seated, the dishes will be served one after another.There were only four guests of honor at the banquet today, so Xie Shi did not plan to have a extravagant table full of Han people, but cooked four dishes and one soup for the guests together with the helpers hired by the mansion.In addition, considering that everyone here is not a person who has a good time without alcohol, no alcohol will be served at the banquet, so as not to make a fool of himself when he is drunk.

The first dish served was fried stuffed tofu that Xie Shi had made before. Qin Sui originally wanted to discuss the principles of mathematics with Xie Shi, but when he smelled the familiar smell, he immediately attracted his attention and diverted his attention.Fried stuffed tofu is a special Hakka delicacy, especially popular in Meizhou. Qin Sui has been away from home for months and has not tasted fried stuffed tofu for a long time. Now that he smells it, he can't help but miss his relatives at home and look forward to the dishes.

At this time, the servant brought the second plate of dishes, and as soon as the white porcelain lid was lifted, a strong aroma that stimulated the mouth smelt came out along with the steaming heat. In the deep celadon bowl, under the green vegetable leaves, neatly There are slices of pork belly stacked on top of each other to form a tower, with black dried vegetables buckled underneath.

Qin Sui recognized that it was the dried plum vegetable that was popular in the countryside of Meizhou. Xie Shi nodded to confirm, and said to him, "This is the dried vegetable that I got by chance from a Lingnan businessman who passed by here. It is said that it is from Meizhou, Huizhou and other places. I use it to cook with pork belly, which is very good for rice.”

The second dish that Xie Shi introduced was actually a classic Hakka dish—sauced meat with preserved vegetables. Curious people picked up the pork belly at the top with their chopsticks. When paired with salty, sweet and refreshing dried plum vegetables, it is plump but not greasy, smooth and mellow.

Qin Sui didn't expect that the ordinary plum vegetables that the peasants used to fill their stomachs, paired with this plump pork belly, would be a delicacy that the gods would never change!Two consecutive home dishes have already conquered the taste buds of this distant guest, and because of the thoughtful and meticulous arrangements of the host, the atmosphere at the table has become more and more harmonious.
