What the hell is broken?

This sentence is a metaphor for tracing back to the source.

"Ask what's next" is a common phrase. Casserole is a pot made of clay, which is often used as an instrument for cooking traditional Chinese medicine or soup in winter. This kind of pot is easy to break if you are not careful. When it breaks, it will crack to the end. In fact, "ask what's next" should be "ask what's next", that is, the crack reaches the bottom, and then it becomes "ask what's next"

Its original meaning is "breaking the sand pot to the end", which is pronounced Wè n. Because it happens at the same time as the question, it is changed to ask the word. Xuan is a crack in the casserole. After the casserole is broken, there will be cracks extending to the bottom of the casserole. This is a metaphor. Get to the bottom of it.

Breaking the historical story of asking the bottom of the casserole

It is said that when Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty lived, there was an upright prime minister named Lv Mengzheng, who was very poor and ate every meal by himself. Unexpectedly, a rich girl named Liu Cuiping took a fancy to him and wanted to marry him, but Liu Cuiping's father looked down on Lv Mengzheng's poverty and resolutely opposed his daughter's marriage.

However, Liu Cuiping was infatuated with Lv Mengzheng, and her father had to kick her out of the house, so Lv Mengzheng and Liu Cuiping moved to the countryside together and studied hard every day to gain fame. Although I was busy studying, the days passed. Although Lv Mengzheng also went up the mountain to chop wood and went down the river to fish, life still didn't fall to the ground to eat the last meal.

This winter, Liu Cuiping looked at the family and was about to stop cooking. She asked her husband to borrow some firewood from the temple on the mountain to solve the urgent need. Lv Mengzheng had to restrain the pride of scholars, came to the temple and met the abbot who was about to go out.

When the abbot heard that Lv Mengzheng wanted to borrow some firewood, he said to him, "The monk is merciful. As long as the donor hears the bell of the temple for dinner, he can get a bowl to order something to eat."

Lv Mengzheng was filled with joy and thanked him again and again. From then on, he found this bell every day and came to the temple to receive alms, but the monk on duty in the den was not a kind person. When he saw that Lv Mengzheng had never provided incense money to the temple, he came to cook every day, and his heart was always unhappy.

Soon, the abbot was going to travel, so the monk on duty consulted with three other people. In order to prevent Lv Mengzheng from eating any more, he changed the rules in the temple and rang the doorbell after dinner. It was snowing heavily that day. Lv Mengzheng heard the bell and came to the temple step by step. When he saw that the monks had finished eating, they all looked at his jokes coldly.

Lv Mengzheng was so angry that he had to walk back with a bowl. When I first entered the house, I suddenly found a row of shoe prints on the snow, which looked like people's feet. Because Liu Cuiping's feet are small, Lv Mengzheng is angry and can't help secretly cursing: "Good Liu Cuiping, while I am away, you will recruit men at home."

Thinking of this, he walked into the room and sat in his seat angrily. At this time, Liu Cuiping came over with a pot of hot casserole and called, "Xianggong, have dinner!" "

Lv Mengzheng didn't ask why. As soon as he saw this delicious braised pork stewed in this casserole, his heart became more and more annoyed. He pursed his lips and said, "Although I am poor, I would rather starve to death than eat the food sent by the savage outside."

This sentence is like pouring cold water on the head. Liu Cuiping flew into a rage and pointed to Lv Mengzheng and said, "What are you talking about? Who will recruit wild men at home? I am willing to break with my father, marry a poor scholar and suffer from poverty and cold. How can you insult me so much? " Say that finish, he began to cry. Lv Mengzheng decided that his wife was having an affair, so he went outside without persuading him.

Liu Cuiping was wronged, but seeing her husband so heartless, she angrily picked up the casserole meat and said, "Since you don't eat it, what should I keep it for?" Then he dropped the casserole on the ground.

When Lv Mengzheng heard the sound, he became more and more angry. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone at the door say, "Oh, the" xianggong "is back. The old slave has just been entrusted by the young lady to go out to see "xianggong". Who knows, halfway through, I took a fork in the road. When I asked in the mountains, the monk in the temple said that you had gone home! "

Lv Mengzheng looked up and found that the bearer was the housekeeper of his wife's house. He was suddenly surprised and asked, "When did you come?" The housekeeper replied, "It's snowing heavily. The old lady misses her daughter and uncle, so she entrusted the old slave to bring you an altar of casserole meat. It's estimated that it's hot now, so "xianggong" should hurry into the house to eat. "

Lv Mengzheng suddenly realized that he had wronged his wife just now and returned to the room with a red face. When Liu Cuiping saw it, he continued to ask, "Lu, tell me clearly, who will recruit wild men?" You must make it clear to me today! Lv Mengzheng apologized to his wife in shame, and the old housekeeper hurried forward to help persuade him.

A misunderstanding is finally over. However, Lv Mengzheng regretted it. In order to get rid of poverty as soon as possible, Lv Mengzheng studied harder and harder, and soon became a scholar, and eventually became a famous prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Later, whenever the couple remembered it, Lv Mengzheng joked with Liu Cuiping: "At that time, I didn't eat anything, but you broke the casserole and asked me to eat less casserole meat." In this way, "the casserole asks the end" has spread to today.
