The new copper pot with Swiss charcoal as the firepower makes the water boil faster, and the fiery red soup makes people appetite. But Gongsun Bai frowned, his expression was bitter and full of hatred. The taste was a little familiar but also a little strange... It seemed to be spicy fruit, but it was different. It was just that kind of pain, and I didn't want to try it again!
"Master, it's delicious." Pei Shiqi's always cold eyes flashed with a smile. It seemed that the spicy fruit had caused more than a little harm to the master. He lowered his voice and said, "Sun Gong has done research and said that boiling soup can dispel the disease. It removes cold and dampness, and there will be no problem if it is not excessive.”
Gongsun Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Although Sun Jian's donkey was stubborn, he would not harm anyone. Seventeen was the most normal one among the many disciples. Apart from being a little indifferent, he didn't care much about anything... He hesitated for a moment and said softly: "You eat first."
Pei Shiqi: "..."
Put half a plate of mutton slices into the pot. After eating it many times, you will naturally know the heat, and the soup will boil again. Quickly take out the meat, put half of it on Gongsun Bai's plate, and half on his own plate, and dip it in the mixture It's so spicy... "Hmm? Yeah! King Teng also added pepper, it's spicy and delicious, it's amazing."
Pei Shiqi returned to his seat with the plate and put a plate of mutton into the pot... Each person had a copper pot, various fish fillets, pheasant meat, wild boar and venison, as well as cabbage. In the eyes of King Teng, there are basically no vegetables that cannot be rinsed, and no vegetables that cannot be roasted.
Gongsun Bai picked up a small piece of mutton, dipped it in sesame oil and tasted it... The taste seemed to be good, so he picked up more and tasted it... "The spiciness has been reduced a lot. It turns out that the way we eat is wrong. If your third senior brother knows , it should be back to normal.”
"Sinong Temple planted the spicy fruit seeds that you and the second senior brother brought to the village in the suburbs." Pei Qiqi did not look at Gongsun Bai and was enjoying the fish fillets. The taste was even more unique. Thank you Third senior brother, third senior brother uses his life to benefit the food industry!
Gongsun Bai: "..."
This is the difference! After the evil disciple of the third disciple was poisoned, he used the spicy fruit as poison, harming others and not benefiting himself. But King Teng used it to make delicious food and benefit the people of Tang Dynasty! Pepper is more expensive than gold. Now that spicy fruit is grown, ordinary people can enjoy such a delicious product once it is grown!
"Uncle, is spicy fruit always called spicy fruit?" Princess Jinyang's mouth turned red from the spicy food. After eating half full, she regained her energy and began to think about other issues.
Li Yuanying swallowed the fish fillet in his mouth, took a sip of the iced fruit drink, and said with a smile: "The spicy taste is better than pepper. In order to let everyone understand it more intuitively, it is better to call it pepper."
Come and try it quickly. 】
The names of future generations are both vivid and easy to remember. More importantly, they know that pen and pepper are spicier, and they will pay attention when placing them to prevent the young man or young lady in the family from making the same mistake as senior brother Pei Shiqi San.
Millet spicy, really spicy!
"Chili pepper?" Li Shimin took over the conversation and said with a smile. "That's a good name. Put your fried peppers in glass bottles and give them to officials of third rank or above."
If you want to replace pepper, it will be impossible without the support of this group of purple jade belts.
"Wei!" Li Yuanying bowed his hands and responded. The glass bottle is much more expensive than the chili itself. I wonder if the ladies will stage a farce of pouring out the fried chili.
Li Shimin looked at the lantern...cage hanging on the pear tree. The rippled glass cover made the light of the candle much brighter. There was still an issue of money involved. How about...installing two rows on Zhuque Street first?
"Maoyue, please calculate the cost of using candles and glazed lamps on Zhuque Street. If it doesn't work, arrange it there first. It can also ensure that the night construction will not be delayed."
Tang Jian frowned slightly, crossed his hands and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, no matter how much the cost is calculated, it cannot be greater than the palace city. The question is where the cost will come from, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of Rites? Or Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple , Weiwei Temple or the inner treasury of the Shaofu?"
There are reasons for taking care of everything, and there are also excuses for not being responsible. If Your Majesty doesn't set a charter and just bicker back and forth, they can discuss it for the first half of the year without reaching a conclusion.
"Another point is that glass is expensive and we need to prevent theft. So should the Jinwu guards be responsible for it, or should the government or the two county offices in Chang'an and Wannian be responsible for it?"
Who is in charge determines who will try the person who committed the theft, and who will try him will also involve the workload issue between the county office, the government office, and Dali Temple. It also determines the issue of who should be impeached by the supervisory censor...
Li Yuanying, the old fisherman, looked at Tang Jian with some surprise: Director Tang Fu was also very capable. Since he entered Prince Teng's Mansion, the main focus of their discussion was on the art of vertical and horizontal, and more on food, wine and beauties.
This shows that he is really lazy.
"Ananda, let the Ministry of Industry calculate the expenses and let Xuanling decide who will be responsible for guarding." Li Shimin easily passed the blame to Fang Qiao.
"Wei Wei." Zhang Anan responded softly, turned around and left to arrange for someone to deliver the oral instructions.
Amidst the sound of music, Qu Sanniang walked in with her veil covered, holding a crooked-neck pipa in her hand. She was dressed in a pomegranate red flying dress, which was even more beautiful under the pear blossoms.
Princess Jinyang blinked. She was with uncle, but he didn’t tell me... left her seat, came to Li Yuanying, and asked softly in his ear: "Uncle, what do you want to do with Qu Sanniang?" ?”
"Secret." Li Yuanying blinked at Jinyang Baozi and laughed in a low voice. Xiao Sizi is really very perceptive. Even if someone didn't mention Qu Sanniang's whereabouts, she could guess that there was a conspiracy behind it, very much like a sister-in-law.
Princess Jinyang picked up the fruit drink, rolled her big eyes slightly, and said two words inaudibly, "Jinzhou."
Li Yuanying: "..."
Someone now believes the story that Gan Luo became prime minister at the age of twelve, while Little Baozi is only seven years old! He also believed in a certain braided emperor who also appointed Chen Fei. When his father and brother were busy fighting for years, he began to take charge of the housekeeping at the age of seven, not only managing the family's daily affairs, money income and expenditure, etc. in an orderly manner. There are some things that he can do very well without having to worry about his father's instructions.
But his Concubine Chen was obviously not as good as Concubine Zhuang.
"Fishing." Li Yuanying said with a deep smile, picked up some deer meat and put it on the small plate in front of Jinyang's little bun.
Chunhua brought the newly prepared Ma Ni. The princess liked spicy food and the soup was not spicy enough.
Princess Jinyang asked while eating the meat: "Uncle, today's fruit drink is quite special. The green juice is actually very sweet."
"Liu Bu brought it. It's grey-brown and hairy. He said the monkeys in the mountains especially like it, so it's called kiwi fruit." Li Yuanying put some more Chinese cabbage on the plate. The buns were the same as many children's habits. , like meat and dislike vegetables.
It has been recorded in the Tang Dynasty Materia Medica that kiwi fruit is salty, warm and non-toxic, and can be used medicinally to treat arthritis, paralysis, long-term white hair, hemorrhoids, etc. The poet who has thousands of pear trees in bloom also wrote: On the well railing in the atrium, there is a stand of kiwi fruit.
Kaibao Materia Medica has also recorded that one is a vine pear, one is a muzi, and one is a macaque pear... Its shape is as big as a chicken egg, its skin is brown, and it becomes sweet and edible after frost. The record of the derived meaning of Materia Medica is more detailed: Kiwi fruit, which is abundant in the southern mountains of Yongxingjun (in today's Shaanxi Province), can be eaten to relieve excess heat... It is overripe in October and has a pale green color. When it is raw, it is extremely sour. The seeds are numerous and thin, and its color is like Mustard seeds have weak branches and are two to three feet high. They mostly grow on trees. They can be found in shallow mountains and along roads. In deep mountains, they are mostly eaten by monkeys.
The above content is not about water, I just want to show that it is particularly suitable for pear blossoms. As for the very expensive kiwi fruit, it can be traced back to 1904. A New Zealand female teacher named Yin Sabel came to Yichang, Hubei Province, tasted a wild fruit, and then brought its seeds back to China and cultivated it into New Zealand's kiwi fruit. The specialty products sell well at home and abroad, transforming the Chinese kiwi fruit into a kiwi fruit.
This thing tells us that things we don’t care about, after others take them and improve them, they will use them to make a lot of money from us. For example, the recent horse-faced skirt incident.
"The little monkeys are so smart!" Princess Jinyang asked after taking another sip of fruit drink. "Uncle, can we also plant it in Sinong Temple?"
Li Yuanying touched the little bun's head. The cute little girl, Li Sinong, has been losing a lot of hair recently. He smiled and said: "It has been handed over to the Forestry Department. They should plant it and find ways to improve it."
A fruit plate that can enrich the people of the Tang Dynasty is a meritorious deed. There are not many fruits in winter, and the fruits shipped from far away are still a bit expensive for ordinary wealthy households.
"Li Weishu cried for a long time somewhere, saying that there were too many new varieties recently, and he was preparing the land and building canals even while sleeping." Li Shimin heard the words "Shanglin Department", turned around, looked at Li Yuanying and joked.
The land in Sinong Temple is all fertile farmland, but the Forestry Department is only a little busy during hunting. What was originally a very easy job has been made as busy as the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry by the younger brother... To be more precise, the Shaofu and the generals are the busiest, and the palace construction progress in Luoyang has seriously lagged behind.
"Brother, this shows that Li Sinong's abilities are limited." Li Yuanying put down his kuaizi and argued. "Mr. Gongsun and Liu Bu brought more herbs and ores. Mr. Sun didn't complain at all. He even took Zhen Yiling to study the efficacy of the medicine. It is not an exaggeration to say that Shen Nong tasted hundreds of herbs. Mr. Gongsun's letter paper We’re almost running out of cranes!”
The third senior brother who loves strange things has not limited his footprints to Shushan. Among the herbs he sent, there were notoginseng from Yunnan and jade from Myanmar among the ores. Why do you know Sanqi? In later generations, there was a saying that southern Panax notoginseng and northern ginseng were used. With the improvement of the quality of life, traveling there became a fashion. Many independent musicians and golden collars went to Dali or Lijiang to settle down, just to enjoy the slow life of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake.
A financial guru I met when I was studying for a Ph.D. got tired of looking at the red and green daily and monthly lines every day, so he ran to Dali to open a B&B. He even grew his long flowing hair. I stayed there for half a month and it was really pleasant. We have also seen the proliferation of Panax notoginseng.
Li Shimin: "..."
If everyone can be like Sun Gong, then the Tang court will have nothing to worry about. I just need to coordinate the relationship between them and don't let the gods fight.
