Chapter 243 I owe my students an apology

Kong Yingda touched his beard and looked at Yaya, very satisfied.

Children are always a little worried, but if you give them a greeting gift, it will be easier to handle.

He took out a box from behind and opened it tremblingly. Inside was a delicate wooden toy, a small ball, and some interlocking circles.

"Yaya, look at this, do you like it?" ♦❁❉

Yaya shook her head.

Kong Yingda almost lost his beard.

Li Gang's face was a bit embarrassed. He knew Yaya's temperament, but why was she so abnormal today?

After asking the maid next to him, Li Gang remembered that the little guy had not seen Liu Xuan all morning, so he must have missed him.

"Yaya, don't worry, Liu Xuan is on the way."

Yan Shigu's face was tense, and his extremely arrogant face always had a hint of stiffness.

Facing the little girl, he had an indescribable affection in his heart. However, since he was a child, he had always been aloof. Now that he is about to enter the coffin, he still maintains this aura.

Perhaps this is the image of a great Confucian in his mind.

However, facing Yaya, the expression on Yan Shigu's face became a little loose.

Trying to open his mouth, Yan Shigu handed the little doll in his hand towards Yaya.

"Ya... Yaya... I'll give you something fun."

Li Gang secretly screamed in his heart, "It's okay for you, Master Yan, to be cold and cold in the past. From a great Confucian family, no one will blame you. No one will blame you for being smelly and tough."

But what are you doing now, are you just showing off here?

Yaya pouted, looked at the exquisite rag doll, frowned, then seemed to remember something, caught the rag doll, then went over to take Kong Yingda's pastry, pouted: "Three of you." Grandpa, why don't you come in and sit down for a while, I want to wait for Aye."

Li Gang took a long breath, and Kong Yingda shook his head, becoming more and more satisfied.

A drop of sweat ran down Master Yan's temples.

Just then, a clear voice came.

"Yaya, you took other people's things randomly again, right?"

Liu Xuan came back with Liu Renyuan and Xue Rengui.

"Hey, Liu Xuan, she didn't take it randomly. This is what we gave to the child."

When Liu Xuan saw the three old men, he sighed in his heart: "You three, can you please come in?"

In the main hall of the Hou Mansion, Yaya bowed to the three old men in a polite manner.

Liu Xuan didn't care how many godfathers and godgrandfathers Yaya had, it didn't matter if he had them or not, but seeing that Yaya seemed quite happy, Liu Xuan acquiesced.

After going through the simple process, the three scholars didn't seem to want to make it complicated at all.

"From now on, you are my god-granddaughter, Yaya. If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me. My disciples are all over the world, and they are all capable of taking it out on you!"

This was Yan Shigu's voice. After he finished speaking, Kong Yingda's voice was heard from the side.

"Why are you trying to rob me? I haven't spoken yet."

Yan Shigu suddenly frowned and smiled, as if responding to Kong Yingda's complaint just now: "Yaya has many grandpas, and you are not the only one in the family."

After a while, on the dining table, soft blue stewed meat, paired with fragrant mutton soup, and garnished with a little green vegetables, it was today's lunch.

Li Gang was very familiar with the dishes, and when he saw the dishes on the table, he started immediately.

Kong Yingda didn't have any rules. He just looked at Liu Xuan curiously: "Liu Xuan, we will be a family from now on. I don't understand why this pork changed its appearance when it got into your hands."

"I searched all over the ancient books, but I couldn't find this method of cooking pork. It's a pity. If the people of the Tang Dynasty could have this method, they would all be able to eat meat."

Kong Yingda was stroking his beard, very excited, pulling at the stew, looking left and then again.

Pick up a piece with chopsticks and put it in your mouth. As you get older, the meat needs to be more rotten before you can bite it.

Putting it in his mouth, Kong Yingda felt that he hadn't exerted much force yet. The meat was like melted snow, flowing slowly inside every crevice of his mouth. Do you think this is meat? It's like broth again.

The mellow meat aroma brings a sense of satisfaction. After hunger, it is like a mother's hand, gently brushing every hungry cell in the body.

Kong Yingda's complexion turned rosy, and the chopsticks in his hand began to tremble. As he breathed, you could see the wrinkles on his face that were accumulated due to age were beating.

"Okay, okay... delicious..."

Liu Xuan said with a smile: "We are all one family, eat more, you're welcome."

"Old man, this pork must be raised from a young age. The wild boars in the mountains actually taste better after being processed than those raised at home."

Liu Xuan knows what pigs eat in this era. Can the pigs raised by such things not smell fishy? In addition, some pigs, especially meat pigs, need to be castrated from an early age and raised in captivity.

"I occasionally heard about the Datang Hotel from students before. They said that the Datang Hotel is unparalleled in the world. When it becomes prosperous and profitable in the future, I must try it."

"I didn't give them a good look at that time. Now it seems that I owe the students an apology."

"Your skills have really made my life worthwhile."

When Kong Yingda was talking, Li Gang on the side was very low-key. The matter has been completed. The rest is up to you. I, Li Gang, am only responsible for working hard.

Yan Shigu is now the standard answer when it comes to speaking out.

"Lao Kong, we cannot promote the desire for food and drink. If everyone is greedy for food and drink, they will not be able to become talented."

After saying that, he took a big bite of Dongpo pork, juice flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became more resolute.

Yaya held the things brought to her by the three old men and played with Dazhuang in another small room. On the small table, the two people's food was more abundant than that of the three old men.

The curtain occasionally fluttered, and Yaya's figure could be seen, and Yaya's giggles and Dazhuang's honest smile could be heard.

"Liu Xuan, I heard your name before I came here."

Yan Shigu suddenly said seriously.

"In the mouths of the people, you are the owner of the Datang Restaurant and are very close to them."

"In the mouths of these Chang'an students, you are privately called the Poet Immortal."

"In the mouths of the emperor today... you are already the Marquis of Lantian, so there is no need to say more."

"I ask you, what are you studying for?"

Yan Shigu became serious, and every hair on his body looked serious, and every wrinkle on his face was struggling.

Looking at Liu Xuan, he couldn't help but straighten his body.

"Reading? Master Yan, I have never read a book." Liu Xuan said seriously.

"I have never read any of the Four Books and Five Classics."

"I have no interest in reading."
