Turnips can be fried, stewed, cold dishes, or hot soup… but what you may not know is that turnips also have a “special” powerful function: pair. What’s going on? Don’t worry, listen to me slowly.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Xu Wei, who was also known as Xu Wenchang because of the long writing. What kind of person is he? I can’t elaborate on this, because his wife… is too good! Poetry, poems and songs are omnipotent, proficient in qinqishu, Wennengfu poetry, Wunengtongbing, Shang Knowing astronomy, knowing the geography… In short, he is one of the most outstanding among the countless cattle in ancient China. Unfortunately, this person has a lot of fate, and he has not been able to fulfill his ambitions in his life.
Like many geniuses, Xu Wei is also a humorous and witty person. If you don’t believe it, then we ask radish to testify!
The stupid son of a flies rich man
Xu Wei was living in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. There is a rich man Zhang, who is bitter and harsh, and cruelly exploits the working people. The locals hated him very much and gave him a nickname called “Flies”.
The Fly Rich Man has a son and is his only heir. Unfortunately, this child has lost his mind since childhood, and he basically belongs to the category with no knowledge. Fly rich man is such a son, he does not want his son to be stupid to the point of losing his family property. In fact, this son attended elementary school for several years, and the level is still at the level of preschool. After hearing the name of Xu Wei, the rich man of the flies asked someone to find him to teach his son. Xu Wei also heard about the infamy of flies and tried to tease him, so he readily agreed.
Xu Wei came to the house of the Fly Rich Man to be a tutor. The rich man was very polite to him, and the teacher called the teacher shortly. But Xu Wei immediately discovered that he was not the case for the long-term workers who worked for his family. He gave them all porridge, sauerkraut and rotten carrots. Xu Wei was very angry.
Smart teacher meets stupid student
Let’s talk about this son of the flies rich man’s family again. He has two characteristics: first, he looks ugly; second, he is stupid. On this day, Xu Wei asked the little fly: “Do you know how much 1+1 is?” The little fly froze for a moment and replied: “Is it 2?”
Seeing Xu Wei bow his head and said nothing, the little fly quickly said: “Teacher , I was just kidding, fools all know that 1+1 is equal to 3, not to mention that I am so smart!” Xu Wei turned and snickered.
After a few days, Xu Wei said to the flies rich man: “Congratulations to the Dong family, the Shao Dong family has made rapid progress in recent days. I heard that reading and writing will be possible, and it can also be a pair of two words.” The flies rich man was very happy and said : “It’s all because of your hard work, sir! Thank you so much! Can I evaluate my son tomorrow?” Xu Wei replied with a smile: “Of course it is.”
Xu Wei called the little fly to the front, yes He said: “Your father will test your two-word pair tomorrow, what do you think?”
Little flies startled and cried: “Sir, I won’t know anything, my father will definitely beat me .”
Xu Wei comforts himSay: “It doesn’t matter, if your dad tests you tomorrow, no matter what he says, you just say “radish”.”
The little fly will be suspicious, thinking, if I can’t get it anyway, I’ll try it.
A basket of radishes
The next day, the little fly stood in front of his father and old flies. The old fly came up with the first question: satin. The little fly looked at Xu Wei, and when he saw him with a smile on his chest, he became brave and replied: “radish.”
The fly was angry: “Damn, how can satin treat radish?” Little fly Frightened into a ball. At this time, Xu Wei smiled and said: “Don’t be angry, young Dong’s family is very neat! Satin is silk fabric,’Luo silk’ is also silk fabric, very appropriate!”
Fly’s face eased a little, then came out second Question: Qin Se. At this time, the little flies became more courageous and replied: “The turnip.” The fly’s face became ugly again: “Stupid! How can this be together?” Xu Wei smiled slightly on the side: “Dongjia, your son again You are right. The piano you said is a silk and bamboo instrument. The gong and cymbals that your son is facing is a copper musical instrument. That’s right, is there anything wrong?” Zhang Cangfei listened and smiled awkwardly, “Mr. .”
Then came the third question: Yue Fei. At this time, the little fly had no worries at all, and replied aloud: “radish!” Zhang Flies was so angry that his face was white. “How can this be done to the radish?” The little fly saw the first two questions passed smoothly, and it suddenly rose. The courage came to push his father’s sentence: “Our house is full of radishes. The long-time workers eat radishes for every meal. What happened to my more radishes?”
