The soup made from fresh lamb bones looks clear, but still has a delicious flavor.
Pepper, white cardamom, angelica and dried ginger are used to remove the fishy smell and reduce the smell, while licorice and cumin have a sweet aftertaste to balance the various flavors.
Simmer for more than one and a half hours, until the mutton can be easily pierced with chopsticks, then add the white radish, and then use the oil of the radish to absorb the fat in the mutton soup, so that the soup is not too bland and not greasy.
The soup is fat and delicious.
Looking at the clear clear soup, it smells like the aroma of mutton, with a slight hint of mutton.
Then cut the mutton slices that have been cooked until soft and put them in a bowl. You only need to add a small spoonful of salt to adjust the basic taste, and then pour the radish and soup into the bowl.
Then sprinkle with a handful of green onions to enhance the flavor, and then use the boiling soup to stimulate the aroma of the onions. Garnish with a touch of coriander at the end.
Suck!
"Ah Shutan!" After a mouthful of mutton soup, my whole body became clear.
Soon a whole bowl of water mutton and meat soup was sucked into Jia Hui's belly by the storm. No matter what etiquette and rules, no one can stop me from eating meat!
Bang!
The coarse porcelain bowl, with only a few small crumbs left at the bottom, was roughly thrown on the table and swayed for a while before stopping.
"Staff, please bring me another bowl of mutton soup!"
"Here you go!" the shopkeeper who had been paying attention to Jia Hui's table responded quickly, then personally added meat and soup and trotted all the way to deliver it to Jia Hui.
"Lieutenant, please!"
"No, no! Shopkeeper, your mutton is the same in Chang'an City!" Jia Hui gave the shopkeeper a thumbs up.
"Hehe. The captain is so praised, the captain is so praised." After being affirmed by the current captain, the shopkeeper's heart suddenly became happy. In addition, Mr. Li also nodded in approval and stroked his beard. , I am even more happy and confused!
He quickly asked the chef to cook a few more dishes for the prime minister and the lieutenant, and then he nodded and left.
How can we live up to the delicious food in front of us?
Anyway, there is nothing important, why not enjoy the food and chat later!
Golden thread oil tower, gourd head, gourd chicken, Yellow River carp, plus the store's specially stuffed roujiamo, the whole table was eating in silence and heartily!
"Hiccup!" The last piece of plain mutton went into the belly of Gao Kecheng, the youngest at the table, and the meal was considered finished.
"Boy, it's so delicious!" Jia Hui, who was leaning on the back of the chair, joked while looking at Gao Kecheng, who was wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
"Ah? Master, I..." Gao Kecheng blushed. Thinking that he had eaten the most food on the table just now, he couldn't help but feel a little shy.
"Haha, you can eat well. It's the time when you're growing, so it's okay if you don't eat much!" Li Yan helped Gao Kecheng out of trouble.
"Yes, it's a blessing to be able to eat." Jia Hui sighed, "My brother Ying eats less milk. It's not that he can't eat, it's just that he doesn't eat enough. I don't know what he will grow into in the future. Sample"
"Don't worry, I won't be short. You and your wife are both tall, and our Jia Ying will definitely not be short either. Besides, with a father like you who is a general, he will definitely teach him martial arts. By then, he will be It's hard not to eat." Li Xian began to chat with Jia Hui.
"Oh I hope so." Jia Hui scratched his head, feeling a little worried.
Jia Hui estimates that the big boy's appetite is only about two-thirds of what Jia Lian did back then. Now it seems that Jia Lian will grow into a good young master who is neither fat nor thin and has a well-proportioned figure. The big boy's appetite is not as good as that of Jia Lian. What will it become? Thin dog?
That won't work!
"Master, my young master is still young. Maybe he will have more to eat when he grows up!" Uncle Chang Shan came over to comfort him.
"I'd like to lend you some good words," Jia Hui responded feebly.
"Let's not talk about this anymore, Mr. Ge, why did you bring me to dinner today?" Jia Hui shook his head and turned to look at Li Yan.
"It's nothing serious, it's just your Jia Zhu's business."
"I understand, my second uncle's reputation has indeed been ruined, so let's forget about this engagement."
"What nonsense are you talking about? My Li family is marrying Jinke Tanhualang, not the son of an old boy who lost his fifth-grade official position. Why just forget about it?" Li Yan looked at him in surprise. With Jia Hui.
"Ah? Won't you cancel the engagement?"
"Why break off the engagement? My niece is already in her twenties. It's hard to find someone who likes each other. If we break off the engagement, then my niece will hate me to death!" At this point, Li Yan also looked helpless.
To be honest, although he is very optimistic about Jia Zhu, what he values more is the entire Jia family's three houses behind Jia Zhu. Although he seems to be very prosperous, the next generation of the Li family are all reckless people, and they are not at all. I can't pass the imperial examination.
Since he couldn't pass the imperial examination, he couldn't hold on to things like land at all. The martial arts school also belonged to the second son. At most, he would have to go back to a few decades ago, and it would be difficult for his own heirs to become rich men.
It was okay when he was alive, and his reputation as the former chief minister was enough to protect the family from wind and rain, but what if he died?
In an instant, it will become a small family with a huge amount of money. It is definitely impossible to rely on the connections in the past. When people leave, the most they can do is to protect their lives, but property? How can it be.
At this time, the advantage of marrying Xungui is revealed. The power of Xungui's family is deeply rooted. As long as they don't commit suicide, generally speaking, the wealth of five generations is not a problem. So for the Xungui family, Li Yan is the married daughter. If the daughters become the matron of the family. For details, please refer to Jia Hui's mother before returning home.
Therefore, what other civil servant families thought was a very utilitarian marriage partner was an urgent matter for the Li family. He wanted to try his best to finalize the marriages of the unmarried younger members of the family while he was still the chief minister.
"No problem, no problem at all. We will get married when he comes back from North Korea! You prepare first. I estimate that in a month or two, North Korea will take action, and Brother Zhu will be back. Wait. As soon as he gets home, how about we get married the next day?" Jia Hui promised, patting his chest.
The eldest brother is like his father. Although this eldest brother has to fill in the word "tang" and Jia Zhu's biological father is still alive, Jia Zheng's reputation for incompetence has become famous throughout the country, and he no longer has the right to interfere with Jia Zhu's marriage.
And as Jia Zheng lost his official position, the Wang family only had the identity of the mother of Princess Yiyong. However, due to Jia Hui's face, the nobles no longer take her to play, and even more Not to mention the civil servants who value reputation most.
Jia Mu? Aren't you afraid of offending the Lieutenant?
Therefore, Jia Hui really needs to intervene in Jia Zhu's marriage.
Jia Hui didn't care about this. He mainly had a grudge against the Wang family, and his revenge was just to squeeze in the pornographic shop. He had never hurt anyone, so he had no grudge against the Jia Zhu brothers and sisters.
"Sure, then it's settled." Li Yan nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, I'll take my leave then. See you again in Linyuan in two days." Li Kai stood up and said goodbye. Jia Hui and the two pendants also quickly stood up and bowed to say goodbye to Li Kai.
It wasn't until Li Yan's figure disappeared from the sight of the three of them that they sat down again.
"Master, where is Shanglin Garden?" Chang Shanbo was a little confused.
"Huh? Don't you know?" Jia Hui looked at them in surprise.
"Um, isn't it my sister who got married in Jiangxi and gave birth to a nephew to me last month, so I went to the south to drink full moon wine. I just arrived in Chang'an the day before yesterday. Master, what's going on at Shanglin Garden? Chang Shanbo quickly explained.
"Nonsense, why did the Second Saint come to Guanxi? It's Xihunting!" Jia Hui was speechless.
They have all gone to Linyuan, and the second saint is from Chang'an with the name of Xi Lie. Can't you guess what you are going to do?
Have you read the book?
"Ah, hunting, I'm confused, I'm confused." Chang Shanbo suddenly realized when he slapped his forehead.
"Forget it." I wanted to scold him for being ignorant, but when the fifteen-year-old boy next to him looked at me with a pair of clear, bright and even naive eyes, he swallowed back the curse words. In the stomach.
"That's it, I have to leave too." Jia Hui smacked her lips and felt that there was no point in staying here anymore, so she stood up and prepared to leave.
The two people sitting at the opposite table also quickly stood up to see each other off.
"Ah, by the way, boy, in two days we will go hunting in the forest garden. The emperor will test the bow and horse lessons of the noble disciples. Don't go out for these two days. There is no harm in practicing at home!" Jia Hui patted Gao Kecheng. He gave a serious instruction over his shoulder and left the shop without looking back.
. . . . . .
Shanglin Garden was built during the period of Qin Shihuang.
According to the "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang": In the twenty-sixth year of the First Emperor, after Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, "the world's richest people moved to 120,000 households in Xianyang. The temples, Zhangtai, and Shanglin are all in Weinan."
In the third year of the founding of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu ordered King Wuqiu Shou, the Taizhong doctor, to start expanding Shanglin Garden within the area south of Sanqiao Town, north of Zhongnan Mountain, east of Zhouzhi, and west of Qujiang Pool, and expropriated the area for a fee. All cultivated land and grassland owned by the people are used to build various landscapes in the garden.
Later, Shanglinyuan further expanded to the east and north: the north expanded to the north of Weihe River, and the east expanded to the east of Chan and Ba, forming an unprecedented scale and entering its heyday.
However, with the passage of time and the increase in the population of Guanzhong, Shanglin Garden has inevitably shrunk a lot, but it is still a huge royal garden with one of the largest scales.
The hunting location chosen this time is the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
In ancient times, hunting rituals must follow the four seasons. During the mid-winter farming break, soldiers were trained. This was also a hunting activity, and the original military purpose continued.
However, most hunting activities in Daqi are carried out from June to October.
In previous years, the emperor led at least 100,000 troops and hundreds of civil and military officials out of Juyongguan to conduct hunting on the grassland. On the one hand, it was for military training, and on the other hand, it was also to frighten the Mongolian tribes.
But there is no need now. Yuan Ting has been brought back to the pass by Jia Hui. There is no need to travel thousands of miles to the grassland, but he can have fun in the pass.
After the emperor had offered sacrifices to the Emperor of Heaven, his ancestors, and the country, he led the civil and military nobles who followed the two saints to the west and headed towards Zhongnan Mountain.
Hunting is not an ordinary hunting, but an important ceremonial activity that promotes the majesty of the emperor and demonstrates the royal style. Therefore, the whole set of the royal family was laid out, accompanied by courtiers, ritual and music teams, guards, carriages and horses, flags and canopies, all luxurious and magnificent.
When the emperor's hunting team set out, they passed through the National Gate, which was the main gate of Chang'an City, Mingde Gate. There was also a department to worship the Taoist gods. They "walked over the National Gate and worshiped the gods across the mountains and rivers." The soil was piled up at the National Gate to symbolize the mountains and rivers. The emperor's chariots passed by to show that the hunting trip was safe and smooth, without any danger or hindrance.
After that, the emperor wanted to "come to Daizong" and "burn firewood to report", that is, go to the foot of Mount Tai to burn firewood to offer sacrifices to heaven. However, Daqi simplified the process and further refined it on the basis of inheriting the ancient system. It was changed to "burning first and then burning", sacrificing to the Emperor of Heaven first, sharing it with Taizu, and then piling up firewood to burn it to inform God of the arrival. Then, "Looking at the mountains and rivers", worshiping famous mountains and rivers from a distance does not require the emperor to visit the place where the mountains and rivers are located.
Yes, it stands to reason that one has to offer sacrifices to Mount Tai. If the emperor had to go all the way to Mount Tai in order to hunt in Shanglinyuan.
Forget it, etiquette is such an inconvenience?
In addition, they also have to offer sacrifices to mountains and rivers, inform heaven, and summon local magistrates, magistrates, and envoys from other vassal states to gather and have banquets.
They also need to observe the politics of the hunting area, understand the local customs, coordinate the investigation of local agricultural seasons, festivals and customs, patrol laws and regulations, standardize etiquette and music, and provide rewards and punishments according to the inspection situation.
After a whole set of etiquette, the journey of more than fifty miles had to be walked for nearly two days. The etiquette was so complicated that Jia Hui almost went crazy. He even had to wear ceremonial armor for two full days.
Although it is a paper armor, it is not heavy, but on a hot day, if it is applied to the body, it will become stuffy and hot, and any armor will not work!
"Oh, oh, oh, we've arrived." In Jia Hui's shogunate in the camp, Jia Hui spread out on the mat on the ground, his eyes blurred.
I have really suffered a lot these past two days.
He kept meeting local officials with the emperor, just prefects and county magistrates. Who knew that the emperor suddenly had a whim and started to meet with village chiefs!
Didn’t you see that those old men were so frightened that they were shaking all over?
"Oh, your clothes are soaked. Don't make the mat dirty. Come on, wash it first!" Li Wan, who had arrived at the camp yesterday and was reading a book, frowned.
"I don't! I'm just lying down to rest for a while!" Jia Hui showed no intention of getting up.
"Go, go, go, your whole body smells like sweat, it smells bad!"
"I don't!"
"Oh, why can't I stop you! Go take a shower and change clothes!" Li Wan knelt down and kept poking Jia Hui's side with his fingers, causing Jia Hui to keep dodging to the other side.
Today, Xiaoyanei was taken away by his grandfather to show off to his old brothers, so Li Wan had a rare moment of peace today.
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop poking, stop poking! Just let me lie down for a while. I'm so tired." There were only the husband and wife left in the shogunate now, and Jia Hui also made a coquettish gesture toward Li Wan for the first time. Li Wan, whose sexy butt was so charming, suddenly got goosebumps!
Then he poked Jia Hui's side with his fingers faster and faster.
