Chapter 64

At this time, Du Jia's heart was opened and his appetite was completely opened. Looking at the table of food, he naturally had a sharp change in his index finger. Wu Yong was so smart that he could see that Du Jia's mood was very different from before. He didn't know Du Jia's thoughts, and he thought it was the same as himself. From the details, he discovered the unbearableness of the court, thinking that the copycat had a great future.

He pointed to the shrimp and introduced: "Young Master Jia, this dish is Longjing shrimp. The shrimp must be made of river shrimp, and they must be one inch and five minutes long. Wash and peel the shells, and then stir-fry them with hot oil. However, the key step must be to use the Longjing tea from Hangzhou to pour the juice while it is hot. Moreover, the new tea is the best. You see, there must be three-point green in this crystal shrimp. It is better to take away the umami flavor of the shrimp and there is less fragrance of the tea. Therefore, the chef has extremely high requirements. It is not in vain to be able to make this level here. Try it while it is hot."

How could Du Jia know that there were so many things in this dish? He picked up a little bit of it and tasted it carefully. It turned out to be a hint of the fragrance of Longjing tea. If it weren't for Wu Yong's reminder, I wouldn't have tasted it.

He smiled at Wu Yong and said, "I didn't expect that the teacher is not only strategic but also has such a research on this food. In the future, I will rely more on the teacher to take me to taste the delicious food in the world."

Wu Yong sighed and said with emotion: "It's shameful to say that when he was young, he also had the ambition of cultivating oneself and governing the country and pacifying the world. He often participated in various activities, hoping to make friends with some big people and show their ambitions. However, after more than ten years, he had seen some experiences in food and play, but he saw more of the stupidity and shamelessness of those big people, who completely ignored the safety of the country, but for personal desires, the way of selecting talents was extremely ridiculous, and it was all nepotism.

Not to mention the distance, you see that Gao Qiu is just a slave next to King Duan, but he can flatter himself. In fact, less than a year after Zhezong died, Emperor Huizong was promoted to the position of Taiwei by Emperor Huizong. This is simply a joke in the whole world. What does this make people who have been studying hard for ten years but have no chance?

From that moment on, Xiaosheng understood that the court had no chance to show my talents. Even if I was a county magistrate or a prefect, I would still have to join the crowd with those dirty men? Otherwise, I would have to be harmed by them. So I simply lived in seclusion in the countryside and lived a gangster life. It was not until I met Jia Shao that I could regain hope for me."

It was the first time since I met Wu Yong that Du Jia heard him reveal his confidant things. It can be seen that the previous incidents stimulated him very much. Du Jia heard that Wu Yong was not as shameless as he thought. In fact, he wanted to make some achievements based on his knowledge at first. It was just that this era was too dark, which made him finally embark on this path of rebellion. Maybe he really regarded himself as his lord at this time, so he said these words in his heart.

This also explains the original doubt in Du Jia's heart. Wu Yong is Liangshan's number one think tank and Song Jiang's right-hand man. His status and knowledge are the best. Even when facing major situations such as the imperial army and the Liao Kingdom, he has never been stumped. No matter how stupid or dark such a talent is, he should not be just a country teacher. Not to mention that he is far away, he can be a master in the county town and his eyes closed.

Now he understood that this was not something that Wu Yong did not have such an opportunity. With his experience and communication in the first half of his life, it would be easy to be an aide in a county town or even a prefecture. As long as he let go of his shame and joins those people, it would be no problem to release a fifth and sixth rank official, but he is also an ideal and ambitious person and will never be willing to cross his bottom line.

Or in other words, he is arrogant. In his eyes, he is probably at least a third-rank Hanlin bachelor or sixth minister of the Ministry of Justice, he is worthy of his ability. But if there is no one in the court, then don’t think about it. Even if the top scholar cannot reach this level in his lifetime, there are still many people.

Gao Qiu was promoted to the top level, and doing something like a rocket-like thing may have become the last straw that overwhelmed the camel's back. Wu Yong has been completely discouraged since then, and has been in the country for more than ten years. However, although he was discouraged, he has never given up. Over the years, he must have read many military books and power-making techniques, and has made sufficient preparations for "doing another promising career and walking another road to success."

Shi Jin said on the side: "This court has long been corrupt. We will definitely successfully go to Beijing in the future. At that time, Young Master Jia will become an emperor and use his military advisor's talent to be a prime minister. What's wrong with us? We are also a general, and we will win a wife and son and make a name for ourselves. Wouldn't it be a pleasure?"

Du Jia and Wu Yong were both shocked. Fortunately, they sat far away from everyone. Shi Jin's voice was not as loud as before when he was in Tokyo. No one noticed it. Du Jia first laughed and scolded Shi Jin, and then patted Wu Yong on the shoulder to comfort him. Wu Yong felt that he was talking a little too much at this time, which was not in line with his usual image as a wise man who listened more and said less profoundly. So he deliberately changed his words and introduced the mystery of several other dishes. This meal made the three of them eat a lot. Finally, they drank five pots of wine before the end. Even Wu Yong, who was usually very reserved, drank a pot.

At this time, the people were a little drunk and asked the waiter to sober up a pot of strong tea and ask if he knew Pei Xuankong's residence.

The waiter did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly informed Pei Xuan's address in detail, and said softly: "Several distinguished guests came to find Lord Pei, and they must have planned to use their relationship to fix each other, right? Listen to the villain's advice, you should not go. Lord Pei is a rare honest official. He never accepts gifts from anyone, nor does he regard anyone's face. Before, our prefect once said that he had rejected him. It would be better not to humiliate him."

Du Jia smiled and said, "Thank you for your reminder, but we are just Lord Pei's relatives, so we have come to visit him, not for him."

Then Du Jia signaled Shi Jin to take out two more as a hundred dollars and rewarded them to the waiter. Then the three of them left the store and found Pei Xuan's residence as what the waiter said.

Since Pei Xuan was working here for the time being, he did not purchase real estate, but just lived in a high-end mansion temporarily. He did not like the excitement, so he only arranged a personal old army as a gatehouse, and no other idle people were allowed to enter.

At first, the officials of Yanping Prefecture often came to visit, but they were all turned away. After a long time, everyone treated him as a bad person and simply ignored him. So this place was deserted and was so deserted.
