    When Wen Hui heard the word boxing, her eyes immediately lit up and she shouted: "I want to learn it too. I want to become like Uncle Chu in the future and beat all the bad guys who bully me into fools." Chu Chen laughed.  He said: "Okay, when Xiaohui recovers from his injury, Uncle Chu will teach you how to practice boxing. Then we will defeat all the bad guys." Seeing this, Zhou Wenping said hesitantly: "Xiao Chu, what did you just say?  Wouldn't it be bad to pass on the boxing skills passed down from the family to outsiders? " Chu Chen waved his hand: "Haha, Brother Zhou, what age are we now, why are we still talking about this? After I have a child in the future, who knows?  It¡¯s not certain whether I will put in the effort to learn Kung Fu. As long as I see the right eye and I can persevere, it doesn¡¯t matter if I pass on the boxing skills.¡± After hearing this, Zhou Wenping gave a thumbs up: ¡°Xiao Chu, you.  This awareness is high, and it goes without saying that if there were not such strict regulations, maybe many of the craftsmanship of our ancestors would not have been lost." Chu Chen said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, I am not as great as you said.  If you want to learn my boxing skills, you have to go through my test, and it is not that easy to master this boxing technique. Speaking of myself, I have been practicing almost non-stop every day since I was six years old, and I am where I am now.  It¡¯s a small success.¡± After hearing this, Li Guodong scratched his forehead and said, ¡°Doesn¡¯t it take more than ten years to practice? No wonder others say that ten minutes on stage will take ten years off stage. I insist on this.  Don¡¯t come down. Ouch!¡± At the end of the sentence, Wen Yuting went up and pinched him, and said: ¡°You lazy guy, if you can be like Brother Chu, then I will tell my parents about our relationship, and they will also  It¡¯s impossible to make irresponsible remarks. Can¡¯t you learn to be more successful like Brother Chu?¡± Seeing this, Li Guodong smiled charmingly and said: ¡°Okay, okay! I will follow Xiao Chen¡¯s example, work hard, make more money, and make more money.¡±  Buy a house in the capital as soon as possible and marry you home in style, this is a great and glorious goal!¡± His words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere in the car became happy for a while!  many.  Happy time always passes very quickly. While everyone was chatting and laughing, the train arrived in Xijing.  At this time, after being comforted and teased by everyone, Wen Hui's mood had stabilized a lot, but after all, she was so frightened that she usually needed careful guidance from Zhou Wenping and his wife.  Xijing, known as Chang'an and Jingzhao in ancient times, is world-famous as one of the four ancient capitals in the world. It is the birthplace of Chinese civilization and the starting point of the Silk Road.  It is the capital with the longest history, the most dynasties, and the greatest influence in Chinese history, ranking first among the "ancient capitals of China".  Thirteen of the most powerful dynasties in history, including Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang, all had their capitals here.  West Beijing is bordered by the Wei River to the north, the famous Loess Plateau to the north, and the Qinling Mountains to the south. The natural landscape is extremely beautiful.  Xijing has many tourist attractions, such as the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World", the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the ruins of the ancient city wall, the Hanyang Tomb, Famen Temple, the Eight Scenes of Chang'an, etc., all of which reflect its profound historical and cultural heritage.  It is a world-famous tourist attraction and is known as the "Museum of Natural History".  As the birthplace of Chinese civilization, Xijing has a very long history and a rich history and culture.  The Chang'an School of Chinese traditional painting, the Guanzhong shadow play that originated before the Han Dynasty, the Shaanxi puppet show that originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the colorful Hu* County peasant paintings are all indispensable and important components of Xijing culture.  If we talk about the historical celebrities in Xijing, they are even more numerous. There are more than a thousand people listed in "Twenty-Four Histories" and other history books.  They were either born here or have lived and worked here for a long time. They have all created glorious history and made huge contributions to the development of the Chinese nation. ??????????? When you come to such a city, what¡¯s the point of not having a good time and having fun, and since it is a famous historical and cultural city, for Chu Chen and others, how can they not go to the antique market.  Of course, these things need to wait until they finish their business.  After getting off the train, Chu Chen suggested: "It's already dinner time. Brother Zhou, can you tell me if there is a better restaurant nearby? Let's go have lunch first." Zhou Wenping smiled and said: "Don't be like that.  Sorry, I have already prepared meals at home. You have to let me take advantage of the place. It¡¯s not far away and you can get home in less than an hour. If you are hungry, just put some food in front of you. ¡± Zhou Wen  Ping used to have a three-bedroom house in Xijing City, but he sold it that year in order to treat his wife Zhou. Now they return to their hometown in the countryside.  After leaving the station, Zhou Wenping chartered a van, and then everyone headed towards their destination.  The road went relatively smoothly. It took about forty minutes to drive to the entrance of Zhoujiacun.  The rural housing here is a typical Guanzhong residential style, with a simple and grand feeling.  ? ?After all, this place is still in the western region, and the impact of reform and opening up has not been deep enough. Everyone still sees some relatively dilapidated houses.  But in general, it's not bad. In Zhou Wenping's words, after not going home for several years, I didn't expect that many villagers have renovated new houses.  Along the way, Wenping and his wife kept saying hello to the villagers they knew and gave some candies to the children watching. Wen Cong and Wen Hui kept looking around. They have never returned to their hometown since they can remember.  , so he is full of curiosity and fun about the surrounding scenes.  Chu Chen and the others also looked around while walking. None of them had ever been to the countryside in the Guanzhong area. The layout of the entire village, the characteristics of the residences, the people's mental outlook, etc., all the customs and customs were all obvious to them.  It's so novel.  When everyone arrived at the door of Zhou Wenping¡¯s house, not only were his family members waiting at the door, but they also set up a brazier.  Crossing the brazier is an ancient custom in our country. The meaning is to seek good luck and avoid evil, and turn misfortunes into blessings. This is also because Sister Zhou has been sick all year round. Now that she is home, she is asked to cross the brazier to get rid of bad luck and illness.  After simply completing the ceremony, Zhou Wenping introduced everyone one by one.  Because it was a rare occasion to go home, Zhou Wenping¡¯s sister¡¯s family, who lived in Xijing City, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law also came together, and the scene was very lively.  The adults of both families missed the grandchildren they had not seen for a long time, so they all stepped forward to hug them. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Since the two children have rarely seen each other, Wen Cong was okay, but Wen Hui refused to live or die because of the previous accident. In order to prevent them from being sad, Zhou Wenping told everyone about the previous accident.  "Damn these guys!" Zhou Wenping's family members were all filled with indignation after hearing this. Zhou's father excitedly stepped forward and held Chu Chen's hand and said: "Xiao Chu, thanks to you. If it weren't for you, our family would be in trouble.  I know what to do, and I heard that Wen Ping said that you helped him a lot before. You are really a noble person in our family!" Chu Chen said sheepishly: "Uncle, Brother Zhou and I are very good.  Friends, friends should help each other as much as they can, but there is no such thing as a noble person. " Seeing this, Zhou Wenping smiled and said: "Dad, let's stop standing at the door. We haven't eaten yet. Let's wait for a while.  Let¡¯s chat while we eat.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes! I¡¯m so sorry, please go inside quickly!¡± Father Zhou quickly invited everyone into the room.  Everyone walked through the yard and came to the hall, where they saw a round table with many cold dishes already placed, and they all looked quite real.  After everyone sat down, the Zhou family members greeted them warmly. Everyone was polite at first, and then started to move one after another.  Unexpectedly, these cold dishes looked ordinary in appearance, but they were very delicious, no worse than those in some well-known restaurants.  Seeing everyone eating so happily, Zhou Wenping smiled and said: "How about it, my mother's cooking is pretty good, right?" "It's not just good, it's so delicious! Brother Zhou, you are so lucky. Every day  It tastes so delicious." Wen Yuting praised it while eating, and Chu Chen and the others also praised it repeatedly.  At this time, Zhou Wenping's mother-in-law brought a chicken to the table. Zhou Wenping quickly said to everyone: "This is my mother-in-law's specialty dish, gourd chicken. It's no worse than the one at Xijing Restaurant!" Everyone heard what he said.  , are full of expectations.  Sure enough, the chicken is fragrant. Although it has been fried, it does not feel greasy at all. It tastes crispy, tender and fragrant. It can be said to be just right. When paired with pepper and salt, it has a different flavor.  However, no matter which way you eat it, it will leave you with endless aftertaste.  "Brother Zhou, I can eat this chicken by myself. It's so delicious, but why is it called gourd chicken?" Li Guodong asked while stuffing chicken into his mouth.  Zhou Wenping looked at him and smiled: "When it comes to the name of this dish, there is an allusion in it." According to legend, gourd chicken originated from the official kitchen of Wei Zhi, the Minister of Rites of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.  Wei Zhi was very particular about cooking and was very extravagant. He ordered his chef to cook tender chicken. The first chef fried it first and then boiled it. Wei Zhi thought the meat was too old, so he was severely punished and whipped.  The second cook cooked the chicken first and then fried it. The chicken was really delicious, but Webster thought the chicken was shapeless and unsightly, so he beat the cook to death.  The third chef learned from the experience of the first two chefs and tied up the chicken, then boiled it and then fried it.  The chicken produced in this way is not only fragrant and tender, but also looks like a gourd. Later generations called it "gourd chicken".  After Wen Yuting heard this story, she said angrily: "That Wei Zhi is really hateful and full of evil, but without him, there would be no such delicious food. It's really confusing!" Chu Chu  Chen smiled and said: "This is just a legend. If you understand the official history, you won't say this. In fact, he is upright and kind. In order to excuse the poet Du, the matter of becoming a prime minister was shelved. What do you think of such a person?  , how many times would you beat the chef to death for a plate of chicken? So it¡¯s good to hear this story.¡± When everyone heard that such a thing happened, they praised Chu Chen¡¯s erudition and talked about it themselves.  The allusions that had been passed before, trying to prove which ones were true and which ones were false, made the scene quite lively for a while.
