Chapter 367 [Xintiandi] (Big Chapter)
When talking about eating, Master Mingwei always has endless things to say. This person is worthy of being the number one foodie in the Kong Sect. Even Zhou Yi nodded secretly when he heard the explanation of Baiwei Suishi. He felt that even if he was talking about it, he was just like that.
The so-called "all kinds of flavors are at ease" means that it has surpassed the supreme state of the limit of the ingredients itself and belongs to the legend of the food world. Although the human taste buds are self-taste, it is ultimately judged by the brain, and various results such as sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty. Under normal circumstances, ingredients and various ingredients will have a certain taste, such as sweet sugar, salty salt, sour vinegar, fresh fish, fragrant lamb...
However, a true cooking expert may make food that can "hypnotize" the brains of diners with his superb skills and reasonable combination of ingredients. This is the so-called "all kinds of flavors are free". For example, using the braised pork produced by Zhouyi, as long as the food world is not too idiotic, the braised pork can be "salty and light" and let the salty people see salty, and the light people see light. Diners from both north and south should praise them after eating.
However, the brine made by Zhou Yi has just reached the primary level of "five flavors" and the real "five flavors" are not enough to achieve "five flavors" and "five flavors" and "five flavors" are just about salty and light; but with this achievement, if you specialize in brine, then all the braised dishes in the world can change their careers and move bricks.
"The result is already obvious. Zhou Yi and his son did not steal the Zhou family's old lu..."
Secretary Liao ate two pig trotters in a row, and then he wiped his hands and mouth with the facial tissue handed by the little monk Huiming invisible way. Thinking that he should express his attitude at this time, he has made a good relationship with Zhou Yi: "Deputy Mayor Qiu, this brine theft case is not a shocking case. If you make an exception and jointly handle the case, you may still have selfish intentions? I must make severe criticism of this behavior. The provincial party committee will issue a document soon for your handling results..."
"Haha, Secretary Liao... I, Qiu Zhonghou, did not accept the bribes from the Zhou family, and did not handle the case in violation of regulations. What's wrong with me?" Qiu Zhonghou was not from Secretary Liao's lineage, and now he has to fight hard.
"Deputy Mayor Qiu, don't you think it's strange that a deputy mayor in charge of politics and law actually engaged in joint case handling for the stolen Zhou family's brine?"
Secretary Liao sneered: "The province has always emphasized that China now needs to govern the country according to law unless it is a major case. Under normal circumstances, it is not allowed to jointly handle cases by public security, procuratorial and judicial departments. But why do you ignore them? How many major cases have existed in Dayuan? Why don't you order joint cases? It's just that those cases are too difficult to solve. Once joint cases cannot be achieved, you will be criticized!"
"Since you presided over the political and legal work of Dayuan, the crime rate has not only not decreased, but has increased year by year. You urgently need to achieve some achievements to cover up the fig leaf! Xiao Zhou's case seems to be easy to solve, and it can reflect the importance of law protecting local brands. That's why you will hold on; if Xiao Zhou hadn't cooked well, you would have been jailed for his own political achievements? Is it because of your refusal to admit your mistakes now?"
There is a set of unwritten rules in the Chinese officialdom. Once you are above the county level, you will have the face of being an official. Even if you make a big mistake, your superiors will ask him for secret talks, either to double the rules, or expel the party from the law to punish him according to law, but you will never scold him so severely in front of ordinary people and lower-level officials. Liao Feng did this to "reverse the case" for Zhou Yi in public and sell Zhou Yi a favor. At the same time, it is equivalent to announcing that Qiu Zhonghou should be completely removed, no matter what the connections behind him are.
When the Zhou family saw the biggest backer, they were unable to protect themselves, and they were all silent. Hu Wannian was even more surprised and kept peeking at Zhou Yi, thinking about what his identity was, and he actually asked Secretary Liao to do this for him...
This is a complete tear-down in the officialdom. Liao Feng must also bear all the pressure from Qiu Zhonghou's lineage. If Zhou Yi had not had a special identity, it would be worth it. With his old officialdom's political wisdom, how could he do this? Hu Wannian is not a fool, he knows autumn when he peeks into fallen leaves. Thinking about Mr. Zhong Da's background, he would have to be played with by Zhou Yi like a child, and he felt even more heartbroken and secretly celebrated that he did not stand in the wrong team.
"Okay, I, Qiu Zhonghou, deserve this disaster!"
Qiu Zhonghou stood up with a blue face, turned around and left. Liao Feng protected Zhou Yi like this, and he knew that he had messed with someone he shouldn't have messed with, but this matter was not over. He could be the deputy mayor of the provincial capital city, and his foundation was not shallow. If he really wanted to do it, he might not be afraid of Liao Feng. It's just that Zhou Yi's identity was too mysterious, which made him feel unsure.
Seeing Deputy Mayor Qiu leave, Zhou Tianqing really wanted to slap himself in the mouth. How rare is such a nephew? ‘Salty and light, taste good, and all kinds of flavors are as they please.’ If the Zhou family had this skill, would they be afraid that they would not be the world’s best braised dish? Zhou Maotong went back to his hometown to worship his ancestors several times, but he did not forget to visit him this time. What a good opportunity to turn things around? Unfortunately, he not only did not catch it, but offended the father and son. He regretted it, and his intestines were about to be green. Unfortunately, there was no regret medicine in this world.
"Brother Dazhu, I have taught you the method of making brine. Although you can't achieve the state of being as free as you like, as long as you follow my method, some of the brine I left behind are enough for you to open a braised dish restaurant..."
Zhou Yi didn't even look at Zhou Tianqing and others, but turned to Zhou Dazhu and said, "You don't have to worry about the funds, I will solve it. I only have one requirement, and you must let Dayuan City and even the whole Shanyin Province know what the real Zhou family old man is!"
"Big brother, I... can I do it?" Zhou Dazhu's eyes lit up, just because he was a little worried that his skills were not good enough.
"Don't worry, my father and I will stay in the Zhoujia Store for a few days and will continue to teach you." Zhou Yi smiled.
Zhou Dazhu also wants to open a braised vegetable restaurant, but Zhou Yi personally teaches his skills...
Zhou Tianqing felt a little sank again. But at this moment he was not in the mood to consider business matters, and said carefully: "Director Hu, Brigade Hu, the Zhou family has indeed lost the brine, Goose... Goose is also anxious, so he mistakenly blamed Dasheng and his son, but Goose really didn't think about slandering them... You see..."
"Haha, you can't say this to us."
Hu Niu waved his hand and said, "False accusation and framing is a private prosecution case. Our public security organs and procuratorates will not take the initiative to file a case. Whether to sue you is entirely Comrade Zhou's freedom. If he doesn't sue, we will not care about it."
"Is that so?"
Zhou Tianqing was happy and hurriedly looked at his grandson Zhou Shengli. Zhou Shengli nodded with a bitter face: "Yes, grandpa, whether to sue us or not, it's all about Zhou Yi."
"Rareless, what Zhou Yi is from Zhou Yi? Do you still have elders in your eyes? You bastard!"
Zhou Changfeng glared and slapped Zhou Shengli in the face: "That's your uncle! Your cousin, your closest relative who has broken the bones and has to be connected to the muscles! Apologize to your uncle quickly."
"Uncle Yi, I'm ignorant, I'm sorry."
Zhou Shengli covered his face and fell down. He was spoiled since he was a child. When did he suffer this?
"Haha, I don't dare to take it."
Zhou Yi didn't even look at Zhou Tianqing and others, and turned his head to look at Hu Wannian's uncle and nephew: "Director Hu, Captain Hu. I am going to entrust a lawyer to sue the Zhou family for false accusation and framing my father and son. At that time, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the public security organs to help produce some evidence. I wonder if it's okay?"
"Of course. We will strongly assist in the private prosecution cases filed by citizens. Is this also a crackdown on crime and safeguarding the dignity of the law?"
Hu Wannian nodded repeatedly and said, "Hu Niu, prepare all written evidence. In addition, when needed, you should appear in court as a witness."
"Thank you then..." Zhou Yi nodded with a smile. The uncle and nephew of the Hu family are still very good at being human.
"Brother Yi... it was Grandpa II who did something wrong. I'm sorry for your grandpa, I'm sorry for your dad. Grandpa already knew that he was wrong, so you should give up your hand and let the Zhou family go... Grandpa II is already 75 years old and has not had a few years to live. Do you have the heart to send Grandpa II to prison?"
Zhou Tianqing was really scared and knew that Zhou Yijue was very human and could never afford to provoke him. He would definitely not be able to force him. So he pretended to be pitiful, hoping to impress Zhou Yi with family affection.
"Yes, brother. After all, they are all family members, are you really not caring about family affection?" Zhou Changfeng also burst into tears. The father and the other two got together and they both won the Academy Award.
"Family? Family? It's so funny!"
Zhou Yi laughed: "Who forced my grandfather to leave his hometown and rob the brine left by his ancestors? Who accused me of stealing brine and trying to use national law to add it together? When you did these things, have you ever thought about family affection or family members? Now I have thought about family affection, but it's a pity that it's too late!"
"brother!"
Zhou Changfeng pulled his son and knelt down on the ground: "Even if I beg you brother, we are all wrong. I'm sorry, brother, you have a lot of sir, let us go, good brother..."
Zhou Yi frowned. He had really annoyed the Zhou family this time and had never thought of showing mercy. But when he saw the elderly second grandfather crying and begging, he could not help but feel a little soft-hearted. However, it was impossible for him to let the Zhou family go easily. He thought for a while and said, "Tell me to my dad. If he was willing to let you go, I would naturally have nothing to say, otherwise..."
"Brother, Changfeng admits his mistake, and my father knows it's wrong. Do you want my father to kneel down on the spot to worship you?"
When Zhou Changfeng heard Zhou Yi's tone loose, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly turned around and begged Zhou Maotong.
Zhou Maotong snorted, wanting to ignore it, but when he saw his second uncle standing up tremblingly and kneeling down to him, he finally couldn't sit still. He hurriedly stopped Zhou Tianqing and sighed: "If I had known this, why would you have to be there? Second uncle, forget it, let it go for the past, but I am in the Zhou family..."
"Your father's second uncle in the yard back then will be returned to you immediately. In the future, you will be behind your second uncle. When the second uncle leaves and enters the ancestral tomb, you will be the number one descendant of the Zhou family!"
Zhou Tianqing never expected Zhou Maotong to be so generous. Looking back on his past, he couldn't help but feel ashamed and regretful. He burst into tears and held Zhou Maotong's hand speechlessly. It took him a long time to speak: "When you pay homage to the ancestors after tomorrow... Second Uncle will admit his mistake to your father in front of the Zhou people in the village and ask for punishment from the ancestors. Second Uncle really knows his mistake..."
"Second uncle, it's gone, it's gone..." Zhou Maotong had a hot temper, but he was most concerned about family affection. How could he bear this? Instead, he comforted Zhou Tianqing.
"Slowly, I still have a condition. If the second grandfather agrees, this matter will be truly revealed."
Zhou Yi suddenly said.
"Xiao Yi, your second grandfather has admitted his mistake. What are the conditions you have? I think it's better to forget it..." Zhou Maotong looked at the second uncle who was white and full of tears. He couldn't bear it and glared at Zhou Yi with anger.
"Dasheng, let Brother Yi say that it's not a condition. Even ten or one hundred. Uncle agrees." Zhou Tianqing hurriedly stopped Zhou Maotong, for fear of being bothered by Zhou Yi again.
"Xiao Yi, then just say it, don't go too far."
"Don't worry, dad. My request is not too much."
Zhou Yi glanced at Zhou Dazhu: "The old man in the Zhou family originally had a portion of the broth, so he had to return it. We don't do the braised dish business, so let's give these braised water to Brother Dazhu... Second Grandpa, I can also make braised water, but the old man in the Zhou family represents the inheritance of the ancestors. Brother Dazhu wants to build a braised water shop. Without the brine inherited by the ancestral heritage, his waist is not strong enough. Are you right?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Yi is right. The Zhou family has twenty-nine jars of brine. I will give fifteen of them to the pillars. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, that's it!" Zhou Yi wanted to fulfill Zhou Dazhu. After all, he and his father would not live in the Zhou family store for a long time. Brother Dazhu represents the inheritance of his grandfather's lineage. How can he not be strong?
"Big brother, is this...is this appropriate?" Zhou Dazhu rubbed his hands repeatedly. He was an honest man and had never had any status in the Zhoujia Store. He could not digest this huge pie falling from the sky for a while.
"I think it's not the best." Zhou Yi patted Zhou Dazhu's shoulder: "After offering sacrifices to his ancestors, you go to Dayuan to choose a suitable storefront and hang up the sign of the Zhou family's old Lu. Although the second grandfather's family has applied for trademark registration for a long time, I don't think it will make things difficult for you, right? Second grandfather. Brother Changfeng?"
"Of course..."
Zhou Tianqing and Zhou Changfeng and his son were all left to nod, as if they were little chickens pecking at rice.
***
The Zhou family's brine theft case came to an end. The result was a little different from what Zhou Yi expected. After all, he was just a young man with an idle system, not a decisive hero of the country. When he saw Zhou Tianqing begging, he was inevitably soft-hearted. The old man Zhou Maotong had a bigger temper than his son, but his heart was softer than his son. It was not surprising that such a result was achieved.
However, after this, Zhou Yi also established his grandfather's status in Zhoujiadian, making his father proud from then on. He also left half of Zhou Tianqing's brine, which was considered a great achievement and did not waste any effort.
Since the case was over, Hu Wannian's uncle and nephew and Zhou family left Xiaokong Temple, and the old man Zhou Maotong also went back together. Zhou Yi originally wanted to leave, but Mingwei pulled him aside and said something in his ear. It was this sentence that made him decide to stay in Xiaokong Temple for two more days.
"Donor Zhou, why should the donor tell you? I will take you to see a new world sooner or later... This sentence was said to him. If you are interested, how about staying for two more days?"
Why bother, why crazy?
Zhou Yi was stunned and suddenly remembered that when he was in France, why should he drink the "harmony of generals and ministers" he brewed, and said that he would take him to meet a master who knows wine in the future. If he could be praised by this master, he would have a new world. He didn't take it seriously at the time. Is it more special to update the new world than the all-round idle system? He crazy often makes amazing words, who knows if he is crazy?
Unexpectedly, it was the monk Mingwei. Zhou Yi's curiosity was suddenly attracted by the monk wine and meat. He wanted to see what he had in his ways, so he stayed there and just told his father that he would study the esophagus with Master Mingwei, stayed in Xiaokong Temple for two days, and waited early the morning after tomorrow, and then rushed back to Zhoujiadian to attend the ancestor worship ceremony.
At this time, the only ones who stayed in the temple were Zhou Yi and Secretary Liao. Mingwei seemed to be a food bucket that could never be filled. He fooled Zhou Yi and stayed there without mentioning the words just now. He just pulled Zhou Yi and Liao Feng to continue drinking and eating pork head meat. When the moon was on the treetops, he moved the dining table out of the Zen room and placed it in the hexagonal pavilion next to the clear water pool. The three of them ate wine while enjoying the moon. From the topics that Mingwei and Liao Feng occasionally touched, Zhou Yi realized that this dignified provincial officials and officials from the border came to find monks to see Feng Shui, and it was also the Feng Shui of the ancestral tomb.
Mingwei and Liao Feng did not bear his back, and talked more about the Feng Shui of the ancestral tombs of great people in ancient and modern times. It turns out that from ancient times to the present, all the people who have achieved great success have all had clear smoke from the ancestral tombs. For example, the Feng Shui of Taizu of this dynasty and his old man competed for Chang Kaishen throughout his life, and the Feng Shui of his hometown is extremely particular. Unfortunately, Chang Kaishen's ancestral tomb Feng Shui appears in the shape of a dragon, but it is not as good as the true dragon energy on the ancestral tomb of the "Old Man". Therefore, he finally lost to the treasure island, which is destined to say.
Zhou Yi never believed in these Feng Shui metaphysics. When he was dying for Mrs. Liu, he had seen the Five Elements and Earth Veins and Earth Dragons before. But it would be too mysterious to say that these things can affect the fate of future generations and descendants. It feels like the tenth ** are all charlatans that deceive people.
But Mingwei's eloquence is very good, and it is quite interesting to hear his nonsense. Zhou Yi just sat aside with a smile as a good listener. Before he knew it, it was already late at night, and the moonlight fell on Mingwei's bald head, which was quite solemn. Liao Feng became more and more fascinated as he heard it. The dignified provincial official would laugh from time to time like a child...
ps: I chatted with my old classmate for a long time at noon. The person who grew up with me actually had an affair. And my wife didn’t know, what else can I say?
