Source: allusions of Wang Xizhi when he was a child.
One day, Wang Xizhi passed an alley and saw a group of people making noise in front of a restaurant. Especially the couplets on the shop door are particularly eye-catching. It says: delicious, famous, handsome and loved by everyone.
The horizontal plaque says "Swan Jiaozi". But the words are lifeless, lack of kung fu and plain.
After reading it, Wang Xizhi curled his lips and thought, this kind of word that lacks kung fu can only be used in front of this humble alley shop to make a fool of himself! But he also thought: delicious, famous and handsome, everyone loves it. What's so surprising about jiaozi? Whose shop is this in jiaozi? How dare you be so arrogant!
When Wang Xizhi walked into the shop, he saw four large iron pots filled with boiling water and placed them under a screen. The wrapped jiaozi flew over the screen like white birds, and landed in the boiling pot impartially. The waiter in jiaozi's shop is busy greeting the diners. Each waiter is in charge of a pot. Count off: No.1 pot is half a catty, ok, 1 catty again. ""No.2 pot weighs half a catty. " "No.3 pot is 92 liang ..."
Curious, Wang Xizhi conveniently took out a few coppers, asked for half a catty of jiaozi and sat down. Jiaozi soon served on the table. He looked at it carefully. jiaozi here is really different, delicate and delicate, like a white swan frolicking in the water. Xiang Tiange is really great. He picked up a jiaozi with chopsticks, gently took a bite and sent it to his mouth. Ah, suddenly it's delicious. Before I knew it, I swallowed all the plates of jiaozi. After a full meal, it was really memorable.
Wang Xizhi couldn't help saying to himself, "This swan jiaozi really deserves its reputation." I thought to myself: It's just that the couplet at the door is so badly written that it really doesn't deserve this jiaozi. Why don't I, Wang Xizhi, take this opportunity to write another couplet for the hotel and live up to this delicious meal? Thinking of this, he asked the man, "Where is the shopkeeper?" The clerk pointed to the screen and said, "Hui Xianggong, the shopkeeper is behind the screen."
Wang Xizhi bypassed the screen and saw a white-haired old woman sitting in front of the chopping board, rolling dough and wrapping jiaozi. Fill in the stuffing, pinch it a few times quickly, and instantly turn into a skilled white swan. To his surprise, after jiaozi wrapped it, the white-haired woman threw jiaozi at the screen. Swan jiaozi flew over the screen one by one and landed in the pot. Every two or five, according to the number reported by the buddy, how much is put in each pot and the weight is exactly the same.
Wang Xizhi was amazed by the superb skills of the white-haired old woman. Quickly asked: "old man, how long will it take to practice your kung fu?" The white-haired woman replied, "To tell you the truth, it takes forty years to master it and a lifetime to practice it deeply."
