One day, Wang Xizhi went to the market and saw a group of noisy people in front of a jiaozi store. It was very lively. Especially the couplets by the door are particularly eye-catching. It says "If you can't get through here, you will know the taste and come here often", and the horizontal plaque says "Duck jiaozi Store". The content of this couplet is a bit verve, but the words are dull and weak, lacking in kung fu. After reading it, Wang Xizhi curled his lips and thought, these two words are only suitable for embarrassing in front of these shops! But he pondered the tone of the couplet again, thinking, who is buying and selling here, so arrogant! I'm going to have a look and learn.
When I walked in, I saw a big pot of boiling water near the low wall in the shop. Jiaozi, wrapped in white flour, like a white bird, jumped over the wall one by one and just fell into the boiling disaster. The men in jiaozi's shop are busy calling customers. Wang Xizhi conveniently took out some scattered silver coins, asked for half a catty of jiaozi, and sat down. At this time, he discovered that jiaozi's Ling meatballs are exquisite, like ducks in a floating pavilion, which is really a wonder! He picked up jiaozi with chopsticks, slowly sent it to his mouth, and took a bite. Suddenly, the aroma was delicious. Unconsciously, a plate of jiaozi, all down.
After dinner, Wang Xizhi thought, this duck foot is really good, but the handwriting at the door is too poor. Why don't I take the opportunity to shine, write another song for them, and live up to this delicious meal. Thinking of this, he stopped in front of the shop and asked, "Where is your shopkeeper?" The clerk pointed to the low wall and said, "Hui Xianggong, the shopkeeper is behind the wall." Wang Xizhi bypassed the low wall and saw an old lady with white hair sitting in front of the panel. It's quick and clever to wrap dumpling skins and stuffing by one person. Even more amazing is that after jiaozi wrapped it, the old man threw it at the low wall and fell into the pot. Wang Xizhi marveled at these three successes. He hurried forward and asked, "Old man, how long will it take you to work so hard?" The old lady replied, "It takes fifty years to master, and it takes a lifetime to practice deeply."
Wang Xizhi listened, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Your craftsmanship is so superb, why don't you ask someone to write better at the door?" Wang Xizhi didn't ask if he was okay, but asking made the old man angry. She said angrily, "xianggong" doesn't know. It is not that the old woman is unwilling, but that it is not easy to invite him. "Just show a little face of wang xizhi, has been praised. To tell the truth, his kung fu writing is far less profound than jiaozi's! As the saying goes, everyone should strive for the upper reaches, once they reach the upper reaches, they will be proud, and they will teach others next time! The old man's words made Wang Xizhi blush and feel ashamed. He respectfully wrote a couplet to the old man.
Since then, the duck shop in Jiaozi has hung up the couplets written by Wang Xizhi, and the business is getting more and more prosperous. As for Wang Xizhi himself, he studied calligraphy humbly and diligently, and eventually became a famous calligrapher in ancient China.
