() "The two separate rooms on the left, one is a woodshed and the other is a kitchen..." Hu Su, the academy steward, took Xie Qingyun to put down his luggage and led him around: "There are two wing rooms.

The largest one is the one you went to just now. It was originally for the students and had many beds. Now you are the only one, but it is quite spacious. The other room is Master Nie’s bedroom."

From the moment he entered the academy, Xie Qingyun met Hu Su, who had made a special trip to wait for him. This steward was completely different from the one he met outside the gate of Sanyi Jingyuan. He was an easy-going and kind old man.

"Are the two floors over there where Master teaches?" Xie Qingyun looked around and pointed at the two-story building that looked the most luxurious in the entire academy.

"That's right, that's the library. It's said that the downstairs is where teaching is done, but because no students have ever come here, it's never been used. The upstairs is used for storing books. The academy is not as good as the Martial Arts Academy, the Craftsman Academy, etc.

There are many books.

After a pause, Hu Su continued: "If you have nothing to do, go to the library and study more. In addition to martial arts and craftsmanship, there are various scriptures for other professions. After three years of study, you must not

If you are in ruins, read more books, it is best to learn a craft by yourself, and you will have a way out in the future."

"Thank you so much, Guanyi Hu." Xie Qingyun clasped his fists and saluted. Everyone knows that there is no future in just studying. The old man said this to remind Xie Qingyun.

Saying this is just a layer of window paper, but most people are not familiar with you, so why bother to tell you. You will inevitably waste some time to find the clue. Or no one will remind you, and lazy students will have food and housing.

Yes, my days in the academy were wasted.

It was just their first meeting with Hu Su, and unlike Chen Bole and Li Tangyi, who regarded Xie Qingyun as a genius and took great care of him, the young man understood and was grateful to be able to say this, so he saluted.

Seeing Xie Qingyun bowing so solemnly, the old man nodded, then frowned and asked, "How old are you? Can you make a fire and cook?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Xie Qingyun was a little strange.

The old man opened his brows and smiled: "That's good." Then he lowered his voice and said: "Master Nie is not only arrogant and puts on airs, he is also very weird. He said that he would send food and wine to me once every three days, and he would need four or five jars of wine.

, but he only needs enough food for a day, and he doesn’t seem to be afraid of being hungry.”

As if he was afraid that Master Nie would suddenly appear, the old man looked in the direction of the backyard and then continued: "When Master Nie first came to the academy, I sent him a few more meals, and he became very impatient. The last time, he hit me with his rice bowl.

.Now that you are here, I want to deliver cooked food once every three days. It will get damaged if stored for a long time. Since you can cook, it would be best if I bring you some fresh ingredients every time I bring you food and wine.

, you can make your own fire for the other two days.”

The old steward was kind-hearted and was afraid that Xie Qingyun would be frightened after hearing this, so he added: "You don't have to be afraid. Master Nie likes to sit in the backyard. Although he has a weird temper and doesn't like to talk, he won't teach you anything. But as long as he

It'll be fine if you ignore him. If you have friends in the martial arts academy or the craftsman academy, you can also meet them every once in a while so that you won't feel too lonely."

"Please rest assured, Manager Hu, I know how to do it." Xie Qingyun nodded and gave another salute.

"Okay, I'll come back the day after tomorrow." Seeing that Xie Qingyun was so sensible, the old man felt relieved and said nothing more. He said goodbye and left. Xie Qingyun sent him straight out of the alley outside the academy before turning back.

Compared with Wu and Jiangyuan, the academy is pitifully small. It is called a "courtyard" and is really only the size of a courtyard. According to the old steward, when you are in the front yard, you can see a few rooms, plus the main courtyard.

The backyard, which can only be accessed through the nave, forms the entire academy.

After seeing off the old steward, Xie Qingyun wandered around, visiting every room except Master Nie's wing. The library became the most surprising place for him. The old steward was right.

There are no martial arts scriptures, but there are all kinds of scriptures. Even volumes such as "Twelve Secrets of Begging" are displayed majestically on the bookshelf in the miscellaneous scripture column.

After doing a set of boxing in the front yard and relaxing his muscles, Xie Qingyun then walked through the central hall and came to the backyard, ready to see his wife. The backyard was smaller than the front yard, not even a stone chair or table, and the land was bare.

In zhong yang, a bare old tree stood there. Under the old tree, a middle-aged man in black clothes sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting his mind.

The most eye-catching thing about the middle-aged man is that there is a ferocious scar on his dark complexion. There is a gourd next to the middle-aged man, with the gourd's stopper uncovered, exuding the aroma of wine.

The corner of Xie Qingyun's mouth curled up slightly, knowing that this person was Master Nie, so he bowed and saluted: "Student Xie Qingyun meets Master Nie..."

Before he finished speaking, Master Nie opened his eyes, stared at Xie Qingyun expressionlessly, and said coldly: "The steward is not here?"

"Here we come." Xie Qingyun replied.

"Didn't I take you to stay? Didn't I explain the rules?" Master Nie frowned.

"Say it." Xie Qingyun said calmly.

Master Nie's eyes turned serious: "Then why are you here? Don't come to the backyard if you have nothing to do!"

"I sincerely follow Master's teachings." Xie Qingyun was not anxious, impatient or angry. He bowed again, turned around and left.

As soon as he returned to the central hall, the young boy smiled. He didn't go to the backyard just to be scolded. He had already learned about Mr. Nie's temper from his wife. This test was indeed like this.

After witnessing the master's temper, the young boy was hungry, so he took the bag containing bacon and went to the kitchen.

Looking around, he saw that it had not been used for a long time and was covered in dust. So he cleaned it first, fetched well water from the yard, cleaned the pots and stoves, and then started to light a fire to cook.

The chef of Wuhua Restaurant in Juncheng fell in love with his disciple, and he was very good at cooking. Xie Qingyun quickly took out seven long pieces of bacon, hung six on the wall, and left one. He picked up the kitchen knife and cut it.

After cutting it twice, I suddenly found something sandwiched between the bacon. I reached in and took out a thin silk scroll. When I opened it, I found that the unique secret recipe of Uncle Wang's "family bacon" was recorded in the scroll.

When the young man saw this, he laughed heartily. After laughing, he put the book in his arms, knelt down in the direction of Bailong Town, and bowed to his master: "Uncle Wang, Master, thank you very much."

A few years ago, Old Uncle Wang told everyone he met that in the future, Xie Qingyun would inherit his mantle and take over his Wang Family braised food restaurant. After he was a few years older and became his apprentice, he would pass on Xie Qingyun's unique bacon craftsmanship.

But later, when a chef named him to accept a disciple, Uncle Wang never mentioned it again. A few days before coming to Sanyi Jingyuan, Uncle Wang called Xie Qingyun to his home. The words stopped several times, but in the end he didn't.

say what.

Only now did Xie Qingyun know that Old Uncle Wang wanted to teach Xie Qingyun the secret method of delivering bacon even if he did not inherit his mantle or take over his braised food restaurant.

After seeing this secret book, how could the young boy not understand what Old Uncle Wang was thinking, how could he not understand how Old Uncle Wang doted on him, how could he not be happy, and how could he not become his disciple.

The young boy thinks that Zhong Jing and Zi Ying are masters and masters who practice martial arts and literature, and there is no problem in appointing an old uncle Wang as their cooking master. Next time he returns to town, he will tell his master, and she will probably not know how.

be opposed to.

After worshiping the cooking master, Xie Qingyun began to show off his cooking skills. An hour later, the aroma of meat leaked out of the kitchen. The aroma of meat was mixed with the fragrance of fruits and vegetables, and the fragrance was also mixed with a mellow aroma of wine. This

This is the wonderful thing about Lao Wangshu’s bacon.
