It has to be said that although the work assigned to Zhao Ran was terrible, at least the food at Wujiyuan was still delicious. Zhao Ran followed two "seniors" to the Zhaitang and took a look, feeling a sense of comfort in his heart!
Hundreds of people sat around a dozen large round tables, each with standard four dishes and one soup, dried tofu, cauliflower, green persimmon peppers, pork and green onions, each with a bowl of sea water, and another bowl of green vegetables and tofu soup. Each person's position was piled up to the top of white rice!
The landlord's family doesn't eat like this!
Zhao Ran's heart was filled with excitement. It had been almost a year since he traveled back, and he had finally made it through these days. He stared at the bowl of pork and scallions with dazzling eyes, wishing he could take action immediately. Fortunately, there was still a sense of self-discipline in my heart, which prevented me from making a fool of myself in public.
With a ding dong sound, Zhao Ran immediately picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of oily fat. But suddenly, the little green bean eyes beside him slapped the back of his hand, and Zhao Ran's chopsticks were so hanging that they couldn't fall off.
Zhao Ran was furious and was about to get angry at Green Bean's little eyes, but suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit off track. Looking around, the other nine people on the table were all staring straight at me, some disdainful, some contemptuous, some gloating, and some just watching jokes
But I saw Green Bean with small eyes and a smiling face apologizing to a long haired and red faced Taoist across from me: "Brother Guan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, haha, this Zhao brother is new today and doesn't understand the rules. You're a big deal, don't take it to heart
The red faced Taoist squinted half of his eyes and glanced at Zhao Ran without saying a word. A short Taoist sitting next to him blushed and angrily rebuked Zhao Ran, "What's going on? Do you understand the rules?" Then he shouted at the green bean eyes, "He doesn't understand the rules, don't you? Didn't you teach him before coming out? Pay attention next time, don't eat again!" After scolding the green bean eyes and Zhao Ran, the short Taoist flattered the red faced Taoist and said, "Second brother, I'll serve you some food
Zhao Ran was left confused and restrained his neck obediently. It was only then that he noticed that the red faced "Guan Er Ge" had placed an empty bowl in front of him, and the short Taoist was filling it with food. Guan Er Ge nodded, and the short Taoist added more. Guan Er Ge frowned, and the short Taoist added less. Before long, the empty bowl was filled with dishes.
Especially the bowl of pork and scallions, the large pieces of meat inside were all squeezed into Guan Er Ge's empty bowl, leaving only a few scattered pieces of meat in the dense scallions, which made Zhao Ran's heart bleed.
Guan Er let out a heavy "snort" in his nasal cavity, picked up his chopsticks, and only then did the rest of the table begin to eat. Zhao Ran was startled by the formation just now, and now he hesitated in his movements. When he reached his chopsticks into the dish bowl, where was half a piece of minced meat?
As a last resort, Zhao Ran picked up a green onion and put it in his mouth, sucking on the residual meat aroma in the scallion roll. He looked at the vegetable bowl filled with meat slices in front of Guan Er Ge and didn't know how many times he had greeted his ancestors.
A meal proves that people's class nature is innate, even if they are at the bottom of society, they must be divided into three, six, and nine classes.
Unfortunately, Zhao Ran, who was classified outside the ninth class, had a less satisfying meal and after finishing it, he half actively and half passively received re education on his green bean eyes and triangular head.
Green Bean with Small Eyes, also known as Jiaotan, is a local gentry family in Guyang County. His ancestors were once the governor of a certain place in Yunnan, but unfortunately, they lived a long way apart. Sanjiaotou is Zhou Huai, the son of Zhou Cangling from Long'an Fugu Fengcang, but he is a illegitimate son. Both of them came from wealthy families and, according to Zhao Ran's understanding, belonged to typical "officials". The reason why they came to Wujiyuan to serve as laborers in the Fire Palace was simply to "conform to the trend".
The Ming Dynasty was a dynasty strongly supported by Taoism. Within the Ming Dynasty, anyone who wanted to maintain their family's wealth and prosperity must rely on Taoism. The true aristocrats and rulers have their own offspring holding positions within the Taoist sect, while the lesser known 'small clans' rack their brains to get involved with the sect.
How should we practice in a world controlled by Taoism?
Talismans, elixirs, Taoist priests, spirits, rituals...
If you want to practice Taoism, that's great. Please start by cleaning the toilet!
When the talisman arrives, where do you need to stand?
