Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty’s Imperial Examination

The last chief ambassador of Fujian just returned to the central post, and the successor chief ambassador gave the beans again, which is also a great achievement worth remembering.

This kind of bean flower is born, but the fruit does not grow on the branch but grows in the soil, so it is called peanut. In fact, it is edible and squeezable. The squeezed oil is golden and mellow, without the odor of rapeseed oil or soybean oil, and the squeezed oil is more than soybeans. The people will not worry about a year if they plant a few crops behind the house Eat oil.

And peanuts taste great when cooked, fried, and fried. They are suitable for snacks. They can be coated with sugar to make many sweet confectionery. They are indispensable for the 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 Houyuan Library, 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 candies , Peanut brittle, peanut butter, boiled peanuts, fried nuts, fried nuts, peanut filling pastries...

Then I invited Xie Ying to eat together.

Sitting on the plot of the neighbor’s yard, using the neighbor’s cook, would you be embarrassed not to invite others?

Cui Xie sat on the head, Fei Hong, the guest sat down, and Xie Ying accompany him horizontally in the middle, tasting the fresh food that Annan sent to the people of Hua.

Xie Ying asked people to scald the five-year-old sorghum wine, and personally pour it for Gao Lin and the distinguished guests, and said with a smile: "This year, Fujian has not imported many peanuts. I have had two blessings to taste the tribute so early. Fruit, this glass of wine is a little thank you."

Fei Hong replied earnestly: "I am also invited by brother Meng Hezhong to have the opportunity to taste this thing. How can I be the word thank you? It's my guest who disturbed the two hosts and I should drink the wine to thank you."

When he drank, he squeezed a dried nut, put it in his mouth and chewed, and he was amazed: "Said it is a bean, it is very different from the soybeans, bowl beans, and broad beans produced in Daming. It's hard to describe..."

It is fragrant and crisp, but it is not as crispy as soybeans, and it is both sweet and salty. After being made into butter, it is smooth and sweet, and does not have a beany taste like soy milk.

Although the table full of peanuts is actually the same peanut, I don't feel tired of repeated taste. Fei Hong asked how the dish was made as he ate it, and the chef of the Xie family responded with a detailed explanation.

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

Cui Xie, the host, did his best to entertain him. Xie Ying sat close and occasionally served him wine and food. Fei Hong has finished eating, and a manuscript also has an abdomen, so he should borrow the cook from Xie Ying so that he can ask whenever he goes back to write an article. Xie Ying said nothing, so he asked the cook to go with him on the spot, and Cui Xie ordered his family to install a box of imperial peanuts and asked him to make it at Fei's house.

Fei Hong thanked him and said, "It's enough to have a cook. I'm the lecturer of the East Palace, and the peanuts will be given to me sooner or later. You don't have to favor yours."

Xie Ying smiled and thanked: "What Fei Xiu is going to write is an article about the livelihood of the people. When I go back, I am facing a cook, and I don’t see him cooking. How can I write it? I am also the one who served the imperial court. I will also give you peanuts. You can take the peanuts that Brother Cui Xian gave you first, and I will give them some later."

Fei Hong declined several times, but finally failed, and even the wine that the chef brought with Xie's peanuts was taken away. When Cui Xie sent him to the door, Fei Hong also sighed with him a few words: "It is a blessing to have neighbors like Xie Tongzhi. My old neighbors are not so kind. Your Majesty gave you this. In the house, some people say that it is not good to live with the Jinyiwei Town Counselor. They are afraid that your weak scholar will suffer, but they unexpectedly... No, it should be said that your Majesty has known people and knows that Xie Tongzhi will take care of you."

Cui Xie smiled triumphantly: "Is it just—"

After speaking for a while, I remembered that it was Fei Hong who was facing, and there were others outside. He turned around busy and praised the benevolence of the emperor: "When we accompany your majesty to make questions, who can't be rewarded? Your Majesty is generous, kind, and accepting of advice, and you have the hope of a benevolent emperor. Otherwise, how can overseas Chinese come to vote?"

From the end of the Song Dynasty to the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the old people who fled to Annan in order to avoid disasters, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, so many emperors did not come back when they were in office, and they returned from the dynasty to offer improved seeds. Isn't it just because the son's virtue is more than the father's father today?

Fei Hong pondered for a while and said seriously: "It is indeed caused by His Majesty's tolerance, but you also have a contribution to advocating. This year I should mention it when writing the congratulatory form. There is also sweet potatoes-more than 600 catties of grain per mu. It can be counted as auspicious."

Cui Xie humbled a few words, and then asked him: "Where will Brother Fei go for the Lantern Festival next year?"

Fei’s two uncles are in Beijing. Fei Hong and his wife and children will definitely spend the holidays with their uncles. They can’t go out even if they want to get out of Beijing. At most, they will go out to see the lanterns during the Lantern Festival and accompany their wife and daughter to go out for all kinds of illnesses.

Cui Xie said: "Then the nineteenth of the first lunar month should be fine. I just know that I want to hold a review meeting in Huangjia Garden. I must have celebrities to comment, and I hope Brother Fei will help."

Since the new authors under his staff listened to his education at the Sweet Potato essay conference, their attitudes towards drafting have been corrected a lot, and they rushed to submit the draft within a month. He wanted to sell them after they were printed as a book, and then hold a vote like the Three Kingdoms General Election. Later, after reading these articles, he changed his mind.

The six essays are all written according to the same outline, but the entry point and expansion method are completely different when writing. He was afraid that he would sell these six books, and the readers bought them back according to their preferences. In the future, according to the follow-up of the election with the highest votes, the unselected books are different from the selected version, so readers will buy them. The book couldn't connect with the rest, and the money was wasted.

If it’s just a matter of money, he can repurchase the unselected version, but what if the readers really fall in love with the unselected version and make trouble for follow-up?

It is impossible for him to let every author write one!

Therefore, the book is not printed at all. He himself took people to draw pictures the same size as a living person, showing them one by one like a western scene, letting the storyteller to accompany the music and recite the words, it is a slow version of a silent movie. , Isn't it?

——In fact, if the slideshows are more fresh, unfortunately, some technical difficulties have not been solved, and we can only use traditional methods.

The craftsmen in their family have many years of experience in printing full-size posters and posters. He typed out the line draft, and Cui Qi followed his habit of coloring. These people used pencils to mark the entire white cloth, traced it piece by piece, and then corrected it by experienced old craftsmen. Big picture that doesn't get out of shape

Anyway, the painting is pasted on the wall, and tables and chairs are arranged a few steps away, so that the viewer can sit farther, even if there are slight flaws.

He simply asked people to make a frame like a movie screen, and asked the painters to draw the frame one by one. The white cloth does not need to be cut. Instead, it is sewn into a roll, sewn left and right on the bamboo pole, and the shaft is put in the middle to make a bobbin that can be rotated like a kite spool. When someone turns left and right during the screening, the content of the screen can be changed according to the plot.

This is just a bit more troublesome for drawing, but without having to hire someone to arrange or rehearse, it can fully demonstrate the writing skills of every talented person and save worry and trouble.

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

The number of words in the manuscripts written by the six talented men was around 300, and one or two sentences with a picture were just enough to write a small climax of the return of the Jinyi Weiping Japanese and the reward and comfort of the emperor. It was so pleasant to watch, and readers could not guess what the next one was, and to prevent other booksellers from rushing to write new stories in front of them.

Nowadays, the market is full of pirated brocade comics. If it weren't for the best quality, low price, and the stories serialized for many years, others couldn't beat them, and piracy would have hit the market long ago.

Therefore, the manuscript must be grasped strictly and the authors cannot be left to their willfulness.

Cui Xie sighed lightly, took a stack of clear confessions, and wrote letters to the first generation authors such as Teacher Li, Mr. Yang, Wang Zhuangyuan, and Liang Zhuangyuan. Please comment on the beginning of the new authors as their predecessors. .

It’s okay to review the manuscript directly, or to watch his native movie on the spot, where you can write it now.

After finishing writing to the authors, I wrote to Fei Hong, Liu Chun, Tu Rui, Cheng Kai, Guo Yong, Tang Ning, etc., and asked them to be judge teachers again.

New talents want to compare their writings, so naturally they should be called the seniors who entered the DPRK earlier and have more qualified qualifications to comment on the spot.

Fei Jieyuan had already agreed at the beginning, but Liu Tanhua and Tu Chuanhe couldn't save his face. Cheng Kai liked this kind of gathering of talents, and they all agreed. Both Guo and Tang had held the Five Beauty Conference and the First Man Conference of the Three Kingdoms with him. They were experienced teachers, and they would not refuse. Add him and Wang Shouren two champions-

With this lineup, even if the front and back seven and the four great talents rebelled together, it can be properly suppressed!

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

On the 19th day of the 14th year of Hongzhi, when officials and students were enjoying the last two days of holidays, the most famous Huangjia Garden outside Nanguan in the capital was once again full of color pictures and lanterns carefully printed by Ju'anzhai.

This time it is still Jin Yiwei-from Xie Zhenfu to 14 thousand households, there are large hanging paintings standing inside and outside the garden, but behind it is no longer the familiar ship's side and wind and waves, but the Yinyin grass field or the vast desert. .

After entering the arena, there was a huge banner hanging on the book "Jinyiwei's Preliminary Draft Review Meeting". There were six small posters underneath. The pictures were all the same desert smoke, and the pictures were just as broken. Xie Zhenfu, but the inscription on the left side of the screen is different.

The title on the picture is a poem with a painting as the title, and the author’s name is written under the poem, but it is no longer the familiar master of Baoshizhai, Mr. Shuixi, the hermit of Longshan, etc., but one by one. New name ever.

Lord Qianhai, who is this person?

Mr. Bai Jing, who is this again?

Mu Tangsheng, I have never seen this...

An author who had made a name for himself in "Young Jinyiwei" and "Daily Agricultural Economics", when he wrote the genuine Jinyiwei, he also paid tribute to their predecessors and was about to put on a vest.
