Under the urging of Master Cai, Mencius Yin led the two into the kitchen.The kitchen is clean and tidy. Tangyuan is standing in front of the vegetable cutting table and is preparing to fetch water to wash the self-grown vegetables brought from home.Cai Xiaowen was slightly surprised, and asked Tang Yuan, "Didn't I tell you to rest today? Why are you still here?"

The kitchen hadn't lit a fire yet, and Tangyuan's little round face was flushed red from the cold.She put down the water ladle, rubbed the tip of her nose and said, "I'm waiting for the wind chime, but she hasn't come yet. I'll wash the vegetables."

Cai Xiaowen and Mencius Yin turned their questioning eyes to Su Ying.Su Ying was noticed by them for a while, and hurriedly replied: "I got separated from her at the temple fair, and I wasn't with her..."

Cai Xiaowen turned behind the glutinous rice balls and pushed her out of the kitchen: "Go and rest. It's rare for us to cook, you go and play."

Tangyuan leaned on Cai Xiaowen's hand and was pushed away, she said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll go find Fengling."

Cai Xiaowen turned around, rolled up his sleeves to his senior brother and sister, and said with a smile: "Let's do it, how to divide the work, senior brother?"

Mencius went over and looked through the vegetables he brought from Cai's house, thought for a while, and said, "Let me make radish and chicken soup, and I can cook it on a small stove next to me. Xiaowen, you can use a big stove, you are the main force. You want Just tell me any dish, and I'll cut it for you. Su Yang, what are you doing?"

Listening to their cooking and soup, Su Ying was too embarrassed to say that I would eat if I didn't know how to cook anything, so she could only falter and say, "I...I...I'll wash the vegetables."

So the three of them rolled up their arms and sleeves, and started washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, and hot pots.Su Ying walked to the water tank, picked up the gourd ladle to scoop water, looked down and saw her own reflection, shaking gently on the water.Slightly scratching the ladle through the water surface, my face was blurred in circles.In her ears were the laughter of Mencius Yin and Cai Xiaowen, she felt very disturbed, and wanted to kick these two people out, so that she could be quiet.But when I think about it carefully, it seems that I just want to kick Mencius Yin out alone and leave Cai Xiaowen alone. Even listening to her talking to herself seems quite interesting... The more Su Qing thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she fought hard like she was angry with herself. He frantically rubbed the radish in his hands, causing the pool to rattle loudly.

Cai Xiaowen and Su Huang were still separated by the seal of Mencius, they stood far away and didn't care.Mencius Yin's cabbage pier was by the pool, and was splashed with a few drops of water on his face by the radish thrown by Su Yang.He raised his sleeve to wipe off the water drops, and when he turned his head, he saw Su Ying staring at the radish, with an expression that seemed to swallow the radish alive.

Mencius Yin raised his eyebrows, holding the stove with an expression of avoidance, and went out to light a fire.Now it was as Su Ying wished, besides her, there was only Cai Xiaowen who was chopping bacon in the kitchen.

Cai Xiaowen cut a piece of bacon, straightened up to wipe the knife, and turned to look at Su Ying.Seeing the splash of water in the pool, Su Ying lowered her head and concentrated on washing vegetables, feeling even more depressed.She felt that she couldn't grasp Su Huang's thoughts at all.It was so good when we broke up at the door of our house when we came back from Xifeng that day!Why are you completely ignoring people today... Cai Xiaowen swung the handle of the knife up and down, pretending to be still cutting meat.She thought about the things she had done in the past few days, and she was sure that she was obediently making pottery at home, and she had never even met Su Ying, so how could she be angry?Cai Xiaowen really didn't know what he couldn't do well, so he didn't dare to ask first if he didn't know, and made up his mind that as soon as Su Ying spoke to her, she would ask clearly.

As for Su Huang, she was rubbing the peeling radish left and right, pretending to be washing vegetables.She was so anxious that it was unbearable, and she thought that if Cai Xiaowen took the initiative to strike up a conversation, she would definitely talk to her well!

So while the two were waiting at the same time, the dishes were prepared one by one... until the last dish was served, no one said the first sentence.

After clinking glasses, everyone drank it in one gulp and stretched out their chopsticks.Seeing the big table of chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetable soup and wine, Su Qing became even more depressed, so depressed that she almost wanted to overturn the table.This kind of banquet where people sit around the table is almost equivalent to torture that she can't see but can't eat.Because it is impossible to eat and drink with her real appetite in front of people, she will be full three times at most every time the banquet is over.At the end of the song, people are full of brains and fat, but I am hungry, and I have to let Fengling cook noodles to satisfy my hunger when I get home.She had seriously imagined holding all the festive family banquets at her own home, so that she could return to the battlefield to finish off after the banquet... But at this time, on the seat, on the left was her own mother, uncle.On the right is my sister and brother.Even if I lent her ten guts, she would not dare to lift the table.She could only silently pick up a piece of steamed meat, put it in her mouth and chew silently...

tasty!She swallowed hard, experiencing the strong fragrance remaining on the tip of her tongue.Last year Cai Xiaowen made steamed meat with flour, but Su Ying was rushing to make pottery for the government and merchants at that time, and had to guard the pottery kiln, so she couldn't come to the banquet with the same family.Just listening to Mrs. Su's aftertaste after returning home, she yearns for this dish very much.Eating it in my mouth now, I really feel that my reputation is well-deserved.The perfect combination of lean meat and fat meat, the taste of rice noodles combined with gravy, will leave your lips and teeth fragrant after a bite.She picked up a second piece, and only when she was eating would she forget her troubles for a while, but new troubles would come in a blink of an eye... She sneaked a look at Cai Xiaowen who was sitting next to him, only picking some vegetables to eat, and felt ashamed to say goodbye. Picking up the third piece, I watched Mencius Yin pick up two pieces with one chopstick, feeling indescribably envious.

It's not because Cai Xiaowen didn't have a good meal on purpose, but because he was in a bad mood.As long as she is in a bad mood, she will lose her appetite, so she can't understand Su Huang's fast-hungry thoughts at all.Seeing that Su Yang didn't stretch out her chopsticks very much, she thought the food was not to her liking, and she was even less in the mood to eat it.Seeing that she didn't move the fish, Su Ying became more and more embarrassed to eat more... The cycle went on and on, and the two of them wanted to cry when they reached the end of the banquet.

Compared to the two of them, Fengling and Tangyuan had a hearty meal.The glutinous rice balls removed the dishes and served hot tea.The wind chime carried a tray covered with brocade cloth and placed it in the center of the round table.

Mrs. Su looked at the two weakened opponents on the opposite side, knowing that it was useless to talk, she simply grabbed the brocade cloth.Under the cloth are two clay pots, both made of red clay.One square, one circle.Both look rustic and generous.It seems that Cai Xiaowen is quite well-behaved this time, without any ingenuity.I just don't know who made the square pot and who made the round pot.

Master Cai was also polite, and picked up the square pot first.With ten fingers wide open, he touched the pot once, picked it up and looked it up and down, finally pinched the lid of the pot, turned the four corners and lifted the lid down.When the lid of the pot was finally put down, Master Cai frowned slightly and put down the pot.

At the same time, Mrs. Su also had a good look at the round pot. She closed one eye and used the spout as the boundary to compare the subtle differences between the left and right pots.After that, the two picked up the square and round pots in exchange, and finally frowned in unison.

"Fengling," Mrs. Su changed the windling, and ordered, "Use these two pots to make tea." Boiling water is ready-made, and Fengling has been in the pottery house for a long time, so it is clear how to make tea with new pottery. Bring the pot back.White smoke came out from the spouts of the two pots, wrapped in the fragrance of tea and wafting in the warmth of the room.

Both elders poured two cups of tea from two pots and tasted them one by one.When they put down their teacups and were about to speak.Su Ying stood up suddenly, helped the table and said: "Mother, Uncle Master. Needless to say, we will not compare."

Mrs. Cai, Mrs. Su was secretly surprised, and couldn't help but look at each other.Mencius Yin was pouring tea from the teapot to taste, when he heard Su Ying's words, he almost burned his hand.As for Cai Xiaowen, he was lying on the armrest of the wooden chair, restraining himself from peeking at Su Fang.Now she was so shocked that she no longer held any scruples, she just stared at Su Ying and walked to the table.

Su Ying's expression was calm, and she explained: "Xiao Wen and I said we were going to have a competition, but our original intention was to compare skills. It doesn't matter who is superior or who is inferior. Today is a family banquet of the same family. I really want my mother and my uncle to say something. Wouldn't it spoil everyone's interest if you get down high?"

Mrs. Su thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's fine not to say. But we want to tell you, what's wrong with it. You don't have to say who made which pot. These two pots are ordinary and dignified in appearance, which can hardly reflect you. Personal skill characteristics, so we don't know who made the square pot and who made the round pot. We just say which pot is better. These two pots are generally good, but both have major flaws. The square pot, The lid of the pot is square, and one side of the pot does not fit perfectly with the body of the pot. The round pot is bounded by the spout, and the color on the right side is obviously darker than that on the left. The square pot is lacking in shaping. The round pot is lacking in firing. "

Master Cai shook his head and continued: "There is a difference between Suglaze, Xiaowen, Zisha and other clays. You all lack experience, so you still need to work hard and practice hard."

When the two heard such comments, they both showed shame and nodded in agreement.

"Originally, the two pots are equal, so they can be tied. But oh, the purple sand pot is a practical pottery, and it is used to make tea. Therefore, the pot that brews more fragrant tea is considered to be the winner. "

Su Ying bowed and saluted: "Mother and Uncle's teachings, Su Ying will keep in mind. A batch of precious fine pottery is burning in the big kiln. I am worried and want to go and have a look. I will take my leave first, please forgive me by Mother and Uncle. "

Su Qing left.Cai Xiaowen stood by the table blankly, without saying a word.Mencius Yin tugged on her sleeve and asked softly, "Xiaowen Xiaowen, which one did you make? Tell me secretly."

Cai Xiaowen didn't answer him, took the teacup and poured a cup of tea from the square pot, and drank it all.

Sure enough, the tea is very fragrant.However, the taste is bitter... hey.
