Chapter 284

The last Fujian governor just returned to the central office, and the successor governor also donated beans, which is also a great contribution worthy of the Ministry of Personnel.

This kind of bean is born from the flowers, but the fruit is not born on the branch but in the soil, so it is called groundnut. In fact, it is edible and can be extracted. The extracted oil is golden and mellow, without the odor of rapeseed oil and soybean oil, and the extracted oil is more than soybeans. People can plant a few plots behind their houses, and they will not worry about it for a year. Eat oil.

In addition, peanuts taste very good when boiled, fried, and fried. They are suitable for appetizers. They can be wrapped in sugar and can make many sweet confectionery, which is an indispensable thing for Chinese New Year.

Cui Xie couldn't give Fei Hong a few bags of peanuts and let him go back and figure out how to eat and write. He personally took Fei Hong home, set up tables and chairs in front of the library in the backyard, the cook borrowed from Xie's house, served a cup of tea sprinkled with crushed peanuts, and made a table full of amber nuts and frosted nuts. , Peanut Candy, Peanut Cheese, Boiled Peanuts, Fried Nuts, Fried Nuts, Peanut Pastry...

Then invited Xie Ying to eat together.

Sitting on the plot of the neighbor's yard, using the neighbor's cook, can you be embarrassed not to invite others when you are done

Cui Xie sat at the top, Fei Hong, the guest, sat at the head, and Xie Ying played side by side in the middle, tasting the fresh food that Annan sent to the people of Hua.

Xie Ying ordered sorghum wine, which had been hot for five years, and poured it for Gao Neighbor and the distinguished guests in person, and said with a smile: "This year, there are not many peanuts imported from Fujian. It is thanks to the two of them that I can taste the tribute so early Fruit, this glass of wine is a little thank you."

Fei Hong replied earnestly: "I was invited by Brother Zhong to have the opportunity to taste this. How can I be this thank you? It's my guest who has disturbed the two masters.

When he was drinking, he picked up a fried nut, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and immediately exclaimed: "It is a bean, but it is very different from the soybeans, peas, and broad beans produced in Daming. Indescribable…”

It is fragrant and crunchy, but it is not as crisp as soybeans, and it is suitable for both sweet and salty.

Although the whole table is actually filled with peanuts like this, I don't feel that the repeated taste is boring. While eating, Fei Hong asked how the dish was made, and the chef of the Xie family answered by the side, explaining in great detail.

After eating the side dishes and dim sum, I also served the fried chicken with peanuts, stewed pork ribs with peanuts and lotus root, stewed golden and silver hoof with peanuts, stewed peanuts with sauce, etc. This peanut is pure and fragrant. It does not stain other meat dishes. It only has a slightly bitter taste on the red coat. It is very delicious when you peel it and throw it into any dish.

Cui Xie, the host, did his best to entertain, and Xie Ying sat close, and from time to time he gave him food and wine. After Fei Hong finished eating, he also had a case for a manuscript, so he had to borrow the cook from Xie Ying, so that he could ask at any time when he went back to write the article. Xie Ying said nothing, and asked the cook to go with him on the spot. Cui Xie ordered his family to pack a box of peanuts bestowed by the royal family, and told him to go to Fei's house to make them.

Fei Hong resigned and said, "It's enough to have a cook. I'm a lecturer in the East Palace. Sooner or later, these peanuts will be given to me. There is no need to favor yours."

Xie Ying smiled and thanked: "Fei Xiu is writing an article about the livelihood of the people. When I go back to the kitchen, I will face a cook and I don't see him cooking, so how can I write it? I am also the one who serves the royal front. I will also give you peanuts, you can take what Cui Xiandi gave you first, and I will give him some of it later."

Fei Hong refused several times, but finally, he didn't. He even took away the wine that the cook brought peanuts and Xie's family. When he was leaving, Cui Xie escorted him to the door, and Fei Hong sighed with him: "It is a blessing to have a neighbor like Xie Tongzhi. My old neighbors are not so friendly. Zhaizi, some people say that it is not good to live with Jinyiwei Zhenfu Envoy, I am afraid that you, a weak scholar, will suffer, but unexpectedly... No, it should be said that His Majesty has long known people and knew that Xie Tongzhi will take care of you."

Cui Xie smiled smugly: "Isn't it—"

After speaking for a while, he remembered that he was facing Fei Hong, and there were other people outside, so he turned around and praised the emperor's benevolence: "In the beginning, who was the one who accompany your Majesty to do the question, who should not be generously rewarded now? Your Majesty is kind, gentle, and good at taking advice, and has the hope of a benevolent ruler, otherwise how could there be overseas Chinese to vote?"

From the end of the Song Dynasty to the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the old people who fled to Annan to avoid disasters and chaos, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, so many emperors did not return when they were in office.

Fei Hong pondered for a while, and said seriously: "It is indeed caused by Your Majesty's kindness, but you also have a role in promoting it. You should mention this when writing your congratulations this year. There are also sweet potatoes - with a yield of more than 600 catties per mu of grain, enough It can be considered auspicious.”

Cui Xie hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and then asked him, "Where will Brother Fei go for the Lantern Festival next year?"

The Fei family has two uncles in Beijing. Fei Hong and his wife and children will definitely spend the holidays with their uncles. If they want to go out of Beijing, they will not be able to go out. At most, they will go out to see the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and accompany their wife and daughter to go out for a long illness.

Cui Xie then said, "Then the nineteenth of the first lunar month should be fine. It just so happened that I knew that I was going to hold a review meeting in the Huangjia Garden, and there must be comments from celebrities, and I hope Brother Fei can help."

The new writers under him have listened to his education once since the Sweet Potato Literature Conference, and their attitude towards manuscripts has been correct, and they scrambled to submit manuscripts in less than a month. He originally wanted to sell it all after printing it as a book, and then hold a vote like the three-nation general election. Later, after reading these articles, he changed his mind.

The six articles are all written according to the same outline, but the starting point and the way of developing the pen are completely different. He is afraid that the six books will be sold, and readers will buy them back according to their preferences. In the future, the follow-up will be selected according to the highest votes. The plots of the unselected books will be different from the selected version, so readers will buy them. The book is not connected with the latter, and the money is wasted.

If it's just a matter of money, it's okay, he can repurchase the unselected version, but what if the readers really fall in love with the unselected version and insist on a follow-up

He couldn't have each author write one!

Therefore, the book was not printed at all. He took people to draw pictures of the same size as living people, and projected them one by one like a western scene, and let the storytellers read the lyrics to the music, as if it were a slow-run silent film. , isn't it

- In fact, if the slides would be fresher, unfortunately some technical difficulties have not been resolved, so we can only use traditional methods.

Their craftsmen have a wealth of experience in printing life-size posters and posters for many years. He typed out the line draft, and Cui Qi colored it according to his habit. These people marked the entire white cloth with pencils, and drew each block according to the grid, and then corrected and painted out by experienced craftsmen. A big picture that doesn't go out of shape.

Anyway, the paintings are pasted on the wall, and the tables and chairs are arranged a few steps apart, so that the viewer sits farther away, and even the slightest flaws cannot be seen.

He simply asked people to make a frame like a movie screen, and asked the painters to draw frame by frame according to the frame. The white cloth does not need to be cut, but is sewn into a roll, sewn left and right on the bamboo pole, and a shaft is put in the middle to make a shaft that can be rotated like a kite spool.

In this way, it's just a little more troublesome to draw, but you don't need to hire someone to compose and rehearse the show, and you can fully demonstrate the writing skills of the talented people, saving you worry and trouble.

In order to drive out enough pictures, Cui Qi went to his hometown to bring back a group of newly trained painters, working overtime and tossing to the bottom of the year. In fact, six local films with less than 20 frames were finally prepared. .

The manuscripts written by the six talents are all about 300 words. One or two sentences and a picture are just enough to write a small climax of the return of Jinyi Weiping and the consolation of the emperor. It's fun enough to watch, so readers can't guess what the next book is, and it also prevents other booksellers from writing new stories ahead of them.

Nowadays, the market is full of pirated Jinyiwei comic strips. If it weren't for their best quality, low price, and stories that have been serialized for many years, other people really couldn't beat them, and pirated copies would have hit the market long ago.

Therefore, the manuscript must be strictly controlled, and it cannot be left to the will of the authors.

Cui Xie sighed softly, took a stack of Qing confession notes, and wrote letters to the first-generation authors such as Teacher Li, Big Brother Yang, Wang Zhuangyuan, and Liang Zhuangyuan, asking them to comment on the beginnings written by the new authors as their predecessors. .

After reading the manuscript, you can directly comment, or you can go to the scene to watch his local movies, and you can write it there.

After writing to the authors, I wrote to Fei Hong, Liu Chun, Tu Rui, Cheng Kai, Guo Yong, Tang Ning, etc. in the same year, asking them to be judge teachers again.

The new talents are better than Wen, so naturally they have to ask the seniors who entered the court earlier and have more seniority to comment on the spot.

Fu Jieyuan had already agreed at the beginning, but Liu Tanhua and Tu Chuanlu didn't show his face, and Cheng Kai liked this kind of literary meeting where talented people gathered, and they all agreed. Guo and Tang have both held the Five Beauty Conference and the First Person Conference of the Three Kingdoms with him. They are experienced senior teachers, and they will not refuse. Plus he and Wang Shouren two champions—

With this lineup, even if the front and rear seven sons and the four great talents rebel together, they can be properly suppressed!

=============

On the 19th day of the first month of the 14th year of Hongzhi, when officials and students were enjoying the last two days of holidays, the most famous Huangjia Garden outside the southern gate of the capital was once again covered with color pictures and lanterns carefully printed by Ju Anzhai.

This time, it is still Jin Yiwei who hangs—from Xie Zhenfu to 14,000 households, there are life-sized paintings standing inside and outside the garden, but behind it is no longer the familiar ship's side and wind and waves, but a grassy meadow or a vast desert.

After entering the venue, a huge banner was hung with the book "Jinyiwei Fortress Shangfengyun First Draft Review Conference", and there were six small propaganda posters at the bottom. Xie Zhenfu, but the words in the title on the left side of the screen are different.

Each title on the picture is a poem on the subject of painting. The name of the author is written under the poem, but it is no longer the master of Baoshizhai, Mr. Shuixi, the hermit from Longshan and others that readers are familiar with. new name.

Young Master Qianhai, who is this

Mr. White Mirror, who is this

Mu Tangsheng, this has never been seen before...

Authors who were once famous in "Youth Jinyiwei" and "Daily Agricultural Classic", when they wrote the genuine Jinyiwei, they also paid tribute to their predecessors and wanted to wear a vest.
