Chapter 494 Persuasion
When I came out of my fourth cousin's house, I saw that it was almost noon, so I quickly called a tricycle and rushed to the dormitory of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau.
Arriving at the dormitory, he whistled by the playground. Jiang Shuyi poked her head out of the window, with a look of joy on her face, and waved to Zhou Zhi to go upstairs.
"Elbow, are you back?" Jiang Shuyi smiled and said, "Have you and your sworn brother found the scriptures?"
"I found it. It's in my bag now. Do you want to see it?"
"I'm cooking and my hands are oily..."
"You cook?"
"What do you mean?"
"Ah, it's nothing. How can I let you cook when I'm here? I'll do it, I'll do it..." Zhou Zhi said and walked into the kitchen to prepare lunch: "Are your parents coming back for lunch?"
"Just mix a salad with pork and add bamboo shoots." Jiang Shuyi leaned against the kitchen door and watched Zhou Zhi working inside: "The bamboo shoots are brought from Yang He's house. My parents will be back at noon."
"Well, the arrangement is quite good. We can cook a pot of cowpeas in the broth later." Zhou Zhi began to make and steam rice: "By the way, did you have a good time at Yang He's place?"
"Now there is a small lake under the slope of their house. It is very beautiful and you can swim." Jiang Shuyi said with a smile: "Yang He's house is much more comfortable than our study salon. There is no need to turn on the air conditioner, and the room is cooler."
After finishing speaking, he added: "But the toilet is not comfortable. It is in the pig pen and there are mosquitoes."
"That's right, all houses in the countryside are like this." Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
"Zhou Zhi, you seem to have lost weight. Are you not eating well?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't eat well. The black bean curd rice is eaten every day in the temple. It's very delicious." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "But it's still not good to eat canned braised pork in Fawang Temple. Even though Master Cixiang said he doesn't care about us, we still have to be conscious.
no?"
"But plant protein and animal protein are all protein, right? So the main reason is that I exercise a little too much, and I lose weight, but I feel that my muscles are stronger." After speaking, he raised his arm to Jiang Shuyi: "Do you want to squeeze it?
?”
Jiang Shuyi raised her hand subconsciously and quickly put it down: "I'll get you some water. It's hot in the kitchen. I'll come out and wash my face later."
"You don't need to be busy right now. You can go pick the cowpeas." Zhou Zhi said, "We haven't seen each other for almost two weeks. Let's talk for a while. I still have something to discuss with you."
"What's going on?" Jiang Shuyi went to bring a small stool, sat at the door of the kitchen, and picked the cowpeas seriously.
"It's like this. I have to go to the capital of Shu in two days."
"Are you leaving again?" Jiang Shuyi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her tone.
"Do you want to come along?"
"Shall I go with you? No...it's not very good, okay?"
"No problem, my godmother and the school's exchange teacher team are going to Shudu. I will definitely take their car with them. Your parents won't be worried if you are in the same car with us, right?"
"Isn't Tingting going to Shudu for an interview? She has to visit your eldest brother and sister-in-law. If we go directly like this, how can you take us there conveniently?"
"Also, I got the house from your brother. My mother means that if Tingting and Guan Ma are willing to live in it, we can let them live in it temporarily, but we have to trouble your brother to ask someone to help us clean it up in advance.
, there must be at least three rooms that can be occupied, the water and electricity must be working, and the boiler may also need repairs and maintenance.”
Jiang Shuyi lowered her head to pick the cowpeas, with a faint smile on her lips. She didn't think that these were really necessary things to do, she just felt that they were all excuses that Zhou Zhi tried every means to find so that she could go to the capital of Shu together.
.
"How's it going, Shu Yi?"
"Then I'll call my brother now?"
"Well, you fight."
After the call was made, Jiang Wu was very happy to receive a call from Jiang Shuyi. Hearing that Zhou Zhi was going to the capital of Shu to deliver scriptures for appraisal, and that he would also take Guan Tingting to attend an interview at the High School Affiliated to Sichuan Sound, he encouraged Jiang Shuyi to go with him and play in the capital of Shu.
Play.
She also said that her uncle misses her too, and that her sister-in-law Tang Qi is also in the summer vacation and has time to spend with her.
So Jiang Shuyi took advantage of the situation and said that her parents might disagree, and Jiang Wu took care of it, saying that if Jiang Qiao didn't agree, he would call again, and he asked his father to "persuad" him.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Shuyi looked at Zhou Zhi: "Do you think your parents will agree?"
"What do you agree to?" At this time, the door opened, but Jiang Qiao walked in: "Hey, elbow is back? I heard that you went to Fawang Temple to find some scriptures?"
"Yes, there used to be a "Longzang Sutra" in Fawang Temple, but it was later lost. However, after careful analysis of the causes and consequences, we felt that this sutra might still be hidden in Jiachuan and near Fawang Temple, so we speculated how many
I searched everywhere."
"Did you find it?"
"We are really lucky. We found this scripture in the Bodhisattva Cave at Lianhua Peak to the west of Longgua Mountain. I also brought three copies out and planned to send them to the capital of Shu for appraisal by the relevant departments. Shu Yi, please take them out and give them to me.
Uncle, let’s take a look.”
"Yes." Jiang Shuyi brought the picked cowpeas to Zhou Zhi. She and her father washed their hands before opening Zhou Zhi's schoolbag and taking out three volumes of scriptures.
"Although the scriptures are still new, they are already a hundred years old. They are printed with engravings and are very beautiful."
"Didn't I remember that Bi Sheng invented movable type printing? When was that?"
"That's the clay movable type recorded in Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan" in the Northern Song Dynasty. The same movable type was found in Xixia at that time and is also found in Ningxia now."
"However, due to precision problems in movable type printing, there will be many defects that affect the quality of books, such as irregular arrangement of writing, misaligned edges, inconsistent upper and lower writing, etc. Before the advent of metal movable type, it was generally only used to print rough books.
, such as the Tripitaka, a national project that requires perfection, can only use engraving printing."
"It is indeed exquisite." Jiang Qiao looked at the scriptures and nodded: "Let alone carving, I can't write such beautiful regular script if you ask me to write. You can probably do it?"
"I can't even write a few words without making a mess of the rules. I'm used to running calligraphy." Zhou Zhi brought out the cold meat first, with shredded bamboo shoots at the bottom, sliced meat on top, and a bowl of seasoning on the side.
Putting the cold meat on the table, Zhou Zhi poured the cowpeas into the broth and cooked them. He was going to steam a cold eggplant and mix it with a roasted pepper and preserved egg. It was a delicious meal.
At this time, Du Yufen also came back. When she saw the cold meat on the table, she asked: "Is the elbow here?"
"Hey, how do you know?" Jiang Qiao felt very strange: "Look, this is the treasure I found this time, the Tripitaka from Fawang Temple."
Du Yufen's attitude toward the Tripitaka was the same as Su Xiuqin's. She had no interest in it. She smiled and said: "The elbow is so particular about cooking. It is eaten with cold meat as a dip, unlike us, who stir, sweep, and stir."
"This bowl of shredded bamboo shoots and white meat topped with oil is left alone. It looks like it's elbow. Shu Yi, you are really good. I asked you to cook a meal and you still brought in reinforcements."
"No," Jiang Shuyi panicked: "Zhou Zhi came here by himself..."
"Yes, I just came back yesterday and I learned that Tingting was going to Shudu to attend an interview at the High School Affiliated to Sichuan Normal University. It just so happened that my godmother was taking the teachers from Jiachuan Middle School to Shudu to participate in the summer staff exchange. I also wanted to send the Tripitaka
"Going for appraisal, several things happened to be in one place." Zhou Zhi also took out the eggplant and dipping sauce and put them on the table, and made the matter clear with a relaxed expression: "This is not about Tingting's study.
Do we still have to rely on my sister-in-law for help? It would be easier for everyone to talk if Shu Yi was around."
"Anyway, you can take a free bus back and forth, so I came to ask my uncle and aunt if we can let Shu Yi go with us?" Zhou Zhi said: "Uncle and aunt, please don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Shu Yi.
"
"It's not that I'm worried about that." Du Yufen frowned: "Didn't I just spend two weeks in Baimi Township? Going out to play again?"
