Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 55: Self-defilement leads to inferiority!

Su Yun was still catching rabbits with great interest. As a Sichuanese, his love for rabbits was difficult for people from other places to understand.

Of course, people in other places like the furry rabbit, while Sichuan people like different parts.

Some people like the head, some like the cute legs of the bunnies, some like their adorable waists, and some even like their warm stomachs.

Spicy rabbit head, cold rabbit legs, rabbit stomach with fresh peppers, spicy rabbit kidneys... these are all delicious dishes that make Sichuan people salivate at the mere mention of them.

In Sichuan's past, the province's rabbit output remained stable at around 1.7 million, and consumption remained stable at around 3 million. Both figures ranked first in the country.

It can be said that Sichuan people’s love for rabbits is no less than Guangdong people’s love for chickens.

Zhu Ada and Tian Asan were a little anxious.

Tian Asan said, "Brother Su, it is normal to be famous, but I see your uncle seems very nervous, his face is a little pale, do you want to go back and take a look?"

Su Yun then stopped and looked at the hares running around reluctantly. He looked back meaningfully, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Let's go."

Ah Hui excitedly walked to Su Yun with a cage containing more than 20 wild rabbits, and said happily: "Ah Yun, let's go back and build a rabbit nest. From now on, we can watch them playing every day when we wake up. They are so cute!"

Su Yun exclaimed, looked at Ah Hui in surprise and said, "Of course they were marinated all at once. There are only about twenty of them, so there won't be much meat left."

Ah Hui's eyes widened, his face turned pale, and he said, "Kill it? Pickle it? Eat it!"

Su Yun was surprised and asked, "What's the matter? Haven't you eaten rabbit before?"

Ah Hui looked at the cute rabbit reluctantly and shook his head, saying, "The rabbit is so cute, I can't bear to eat it. I'd better eat fish."

Su Yunha laughed loudly, looked at Zhu Ada and Tian Asan, and said, "Do you want to eat?"

Zhu Ada and Tian Asan immediately salivated. Zhu Ada said, "Sir, I eat what I want, but this rabbit head is not easy to make."

Tian Asan smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll make you a whole rabbit feast, including skewered rabbit, stir-fried rabbit, scallion-sprinkled rabbit, roasted suckling rabbit, rabbit meat soup, rabbit head soup... seven or eight ways to eat it. I guarantee you'll eat so much that your tongue will go back into your stomach!"

Su Yun was a little surprised and said, "You are really capable."

Tian Asan smiled and said, "My family lives in a mountain area. When I was a child, my family was poor and we couldn't afford meat. Rabbits were rampant in our mountain area and often harmed our fields. So I often went to the fields to catch rabbits. It would be a pity to throw them away, so I took them home and cooked them for food."

Zhu Ada enviously said, "Your life is so good. When I was a kid, I didn't even know what meat tasted like."

Tian Asan shook his head and said, "You can't eat too much rabbit meat. It looks like meat, but it makes you very hungry after eating it. Some people in our village even starved to death while eating it. We can only eat it to satisfy our craving. Otherwise, the wild rabbits in the mountains would not have become a disaster and would have been eaten up long ago."

Zhu Ada said in disbelief: "Who would believe that? How could anyone starve to death when there is meat to eat? I have never heard of such a thing!"

Su Yun ignored Ah Da and asked Ah San, "The methods you mentioned don't seem simple. Did you research them yourself?"

Tian Asan laughed and said, "How could that be possible? There was a chef from our village who worked in the Bian Jing Restaurant. When there was a wedding in the village, he was invited back to cook. I learned how to cook by holding the basin.

I originally wanted to follow him and become a cook, but later I served in the military and gave up the idea.

But I benefited from this skill, and I didn’t waste it when I was a soldier. I was also very popular among my comrades in the West.”

Su Yun nodded and smiled, "Life is full of ups and downs, and it is beyond our control. Let's go back, so that my uncle won't worry."

The four of them set off for home. Ah Hui asked Zhu Ah Da to carry the cage with him. As they walked, he said to the rabbits, "I didn't know I wanted to eat you, otherwise I wouldn't have caught you. Don't worry, I will never eat you."

Su Yun and others couldn't help but laugh.

The four of them returned to the compound. Su Shi heard the noise and hurried out to call Su Yun: "Ah Yun, come with me." Su Yun turned around and said to Tian Asan: "Hurry up and prepare the whole rabbit feast."

Tian Asan nodded quickly.

Ah Hui watched Su Yun leave with Su Shi. He squatted beside the rabbit cage and asked, "Are you really going to kill it and eat it?"

Tian Asan laughed and said, "If you can't bear it, just hide away for a while and come back after dinner."

Ah Hui shook his head and said, "I don't eat rabbit meat."

Tian Asan nodded and said, "Okay, then you should also stay away, so as not to scare you."

The young man suddenly became stubborn: "That's not necessary. I have killed thousands of fish and my heart is as hard as stone. I am not afraid."

Tian Asan sharpened the knife and handed it to Ah Hui, saying, "Then you come and kill?"

Ah Hui suddenly said, "I still have to keep an eye on the wasteland. Maybe next time."

Saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Tian Asan and Zhu Ada burst into laughter.

The laughter could be heard faintly from the back, and Su Shi was somewhat surprised: "What are Ah Da and Ah San doing?"

Su Yun shook his head and said, "Uncle, are you looking for me because Mr. Li's words have spread?"

Su Shi sighed and nodded, "I didn't expect it to be spread out. You pack up and I'll ask Ah Da and Ah San to take you to Huaixi."

Su Yun smiled and said, "Uncle, didn't I say I had a plan? I won't go to Huaixi."

Su Shi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not like you don't have a way out, why do you have to do this? Self-defilement is actually inferior from the beginning, and you can't be sure that those villains will let you go, but it will easily give them a handle.

It is better to go to Li Gong. If you feel that the officialdom is corrupt, then you can study with Li Gong. I will write a letter to him and he will certainly understand. "

Su Yun frowned when he heard Su Shi's words and said, "You have defiled yourself and fallen into inferiority?"

Su Shi nodded and said, "How do you want to defile yourself?"

Su Yun said: "I will do business and make a lot of money. If I associate with businessmen who are full of the smell of money, I will be despicable! If I do this, the scholars will definitely spurn me!"

Su Shi said expressionlessly: "Oh, you are not an official, doing business is nothing special, it will not affect your imperial examination, let alone your future as an official.

Nowadays, which official doesn’t run a business? Not only does he run a business, but his business is also very big.”

Su Yun was stunned for a moment and said, "Officials can do business?"

Su Shi nodded and said, "Of course it's not allowed on the surface, but if you go out on the street and ask around, at least half of the shops are run by officials in their families.

Some officials also engaged in business themselves. During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, Prime Minister Yan built a large number of houses in Bianjing for rent.

At the same time, Bian Su used public money to make profits through private trade and also sent officials to the border to sell sheep.

And before that, Tian Qinzuo accumulated the millet from his monthly salary while in office, and then waited for the price to be high before selling it, hehe."

Su Yun: “…”
