Li Yuanli looked at Xia Gua's skillful skills in dismantling crabs, and three black lines slid down his forehead: I don't know how to show mercy to my little brother! Beauties as beautiful as Xia Gua and the others should be pampered and pampered with fine clothes, fine food, gold hairpins, and jade rings, playing the piano, cooking tea, or being kept in bed... My younger brother is still young and does not know the beauty of beauties, nor can he appreciate the beauty of beauties. It is indeed a waste of natural resources.
Li Yuanying placed the crab on the head, cut off the two large claws and eight crab legs one by one with round-head scissors, gently tapped the crab shell around with a round hammer, and then used a long-handled ax to crack open the back shell and the eight crab legs. Navel, followed by drills, tweezers, forks, hammers, picking, clamping, forking or knocking... Crabs eat for pennies and wuzhi. The so-called wuzhi eats for pleasure, just like the Jianghu people who eat large chunks of meat and drink heavily. , what you want is the bold and uninhibited spirit, the free and easy heartiness... What you need more is to eat something that is twice as fragrant as the teeth; Wen Chi eats things, and the eight pieces of crabs take turns to fight, and it takes an hour to complete the food. A crab is eaten like a cocoon, and then the remaining crab shells are put back together, or made into a "crab" that continues to lie on a white porcelain plate, or into other works of art with different shapes, which is full of elegance and interest.
Bi Zhuo, a famous scholar from the Jin Dynasty, is a typical representative of the martial arts school. He is holding a wine glass in his right hand and a crab claw in his left hand. He is so carefree and happy! Food is not as good as beautiful utensils. Yuan Mei, a glutton in the Qing Dynasty, was a fan of the food school. He had eight large pieces in his right hand and a crab lid in his left hand. He admired the flowers, the moon and the autumn breeze, drank slowly and recited poems, showing the elegance of a celebrity.
Xiao Ruoyuan's way of eating is a combination of civil and military skills. After cutting off the crab claws and claws, he breaks open the crab shell with his hands, then uses tweezers to pick out the crab meat, and eats it with a plate of hot and sour food.
... He had finished eating three crabs, but Li Yuanying had not finished half of them.
"Xiao Shiyi, use chrysanthemum before the smell of wine can be eliminated. Ginger is used to prevent cold accumulation. Although crabs are good, don't overeat as it will not be good for the body." Li Yuanying glanced at the mess in front of Xiao Ruoyuan and smiled casually. road. “There will also be spicy crab tonight, which has a different flavor.”
From north to south, there are countless lakes and long coastlines. What flower growers do with crabs could be a book or even a documentary: The Journey of Crabs. Just eat it raw, from the braised river crabs in the cold winter of Panjin, to the raw drunken crabs with red cinnamon, chrysanthemum and yellow rice wine as the base flavor, to the raw pickled magenta blue crabs in Niutian, Chaoshan... and the raw pickled three-eye three-eye crabs. Grubs, each with its own local characteristics, satisfy people's wild ideas about raw food. At the same time, the umami flavor will explode in the mouth, and they will be "poisoned" in an instant.
After sauna-warming, the frozen red crabs, the largest ones weighing more than three kilograms, are put into ice water to freeze and numb, then boiled in boiling water, and then put into the refrigerator and covered with frost to make the meat firmer and more delicious... That’s the price. Very delicious, beautiful and freezing.
Braised swimming crab and swimming crab with scallion oil are not authentic enough in front of raw swimming crab. The swimming crab is marinated for six hours with only seawater and unprocessed large-grained sea salt. Since there is no heating, the protein will not be completely solidified. The crab paste remains in a semi-fluid state. Even if it is cut, it will be firmly stuck to the delicious juice. The crab meat is so delicious...the price is more affordable than frozen red crab.
Xiao Ruoyuan looked at the crab shells and claws in front of him... Prince Teng definitely did it on purpose!
Qiu Ling walked softly to Li Yuanying and whispered: "Your Majesty, Zuo Ruren, Right Ruren and Mrs. Yu want to help make drunken shrimps and drunken crabs."
"Let them play the piano by themselves. Can they interfere at will?" Li Yuanying said, but his hand movements did not stop. He used a fork to pick out the meat from the crab legs. "Tell them that they can eat what they cook themselves." No, it will be very fishy if not handled properly. The chefs in Prince Teng’s Mansion are sufficient, so don’t cause trouble to me.”
Li Yuanli: "..."
My younger brother is so confused! The chefs would not let them do it themselves. They would stand aside and give instructions, or throw the seasonings into the soup. Even if they made it, they would bring it over and ask you to taste it shyly... I can't taste it now, unfortunately. very.
"Here." Qiu Ling bowed and exited the hall. The idea put forward by Madam Jade, the child on the left was drinking tea leisurely, noncommittal, and the child on the right was sitting there obediently eating cold melon seeds... The princess hadn't entered the palace yet, but Madam Jade expressed She's a little too eager and doesn't fit in with the Cui family's style of doing things. What does she want to do? If she wants to trick you Ruren, haha, then her eyes are really bright.
"My delicate hands are willing to spoon, but the prince is too ignorant of style." Xiao Ruoyuan picked up the handkerchief to clean his hands, picked up the chrysanthemum wine to drink, and said slightly teasingly.
Although a certain person has not yet married, he has read several legendary books... and occasionally visited some pavilions.
】
Li Yuanying put down his fork and placed the crab shell in the middle of the porcelain plate. The red crab was fully displayed... He said casually: "Shiyilang, then you haven't carefully observed the chef's hands. You definitely can't call them slender." They have plain hands. They are more suitable for painting the screen in the cold autumn light of silver candles, and fluttering the fireflies with small light fans."
The sky is as cold as water at night, lying down and watching Altair and Vega. If you have someone by your side, you won't feel lonely. In fact, I have always felt that Qingluo's little fan fluttering with fireflies is very lively and cute, just like Baochai enjoying spring butterflies near Didui Pavilion. Chen Xiaoxu's version is not the big power version.
"Young brother, can you tell the whole poem? It's immoral to only say two sentences and make people spend their time thinking about the following." Li Yuanli rubbed his temples and complained softly. "Don't make excuses, let alone tell a certain person to use chrysanthemum to prevent coldness in sex, and don't tell a certain person to use chrysanthemum to prevent coldness, but if you just say it casually, I won't believe it!"
The articles and poems that my younger brother has written in the past six months are all excellent works. I am looking forward to other poems.
Li Yuanying tapped the crab shell lightly and asked lazily: "Brother, this poem is very scolding. Are you sure you want to hear it?"
I don’t know what others are doing, but when Man Chao Zhu Zigui curses someone, he will definitely come up with new words. You scold the donkeys in Guizhou, someone scolds the elk near the river, he scolds the spring and autumn sky in the skin as black and yellow... The whole court is full of food, and my brother will probably look at the sky speechless.
"I want to hear it." Li Yuanli said without any hesitation. Isn't it just scolding? No matter how cruel it is, it can't be as cruel as a moose on the riverside, spinning around in circles and calling the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty like dogs!
"Sitting in the shade of cinnamon and Tong, holding up a cup, Chang'an salivates in anticipation of the Double Ninth Festival. There is no longitude and latitude on the road in front of you, and the skin is black and yellow in the spring and autumn. Before the wine is washed away, chrysanthemum is used to prevent cold accumulation and stabilize the beard. What's the use of leaving the cauldron today? ? The fragrance of grain and millet remains in Yuepu." Li Yuanying looked at the osmanthus tree in the corner of the hall and said with a smile.
Li Yuanli: "..."
Why doesn’t someone have a long memory? How could someone forget that the elk near the river caused remonstrances to fly like snowflakes? There will be no snowflakes flying this time, it will cause chaos in the political hall first!
...Fortunately, X did not return to Chang'an!
Xiao Ruoyuan repeated the verses softly, and praised: "A good poem, it is indeed a wonderful poem. It is compared with a crab, and the meaning is tortuous and spicy. It is full of satire, and it should be revealed!"
The road in front of me has no longitude and latitude, and the skin is black and yellow. I scold those hypocritical nobles and Confucian scholars who fight for power and have no regard for the livelihood of the people. It is hearty and refreshing! I immediately sent a telegram back to Chang'an. Whoever is obstructing the construction of the Overlord Bridge will be the loser in the cauldron today!
Wait... He looked at Li Yuanying and asked curiously: "Where is Qing Luo's little fan and Liu Ying?"
"The autumn light of the silver candle paints the screen coldly, and the light fan flutters at the fireflies. The sky is as cold as water at night, and I lie down and watch the Altair and the Vega." Li Yuanying dipped the crab meat into the ginger-vinegar sauce and put it into his mouth... It tastes good, better than the earthly Yang of later generations. The hairy crabs in a certain lake are even more delicious. The dense crab meat actually tastes a little chewy, and the delicious taste exudes in the mouth, as if the whole crab is dancing on the tip of the tongue! Change it to crab roe and crab paste. The fragrance is so delicious that it is sad, and the taste is so thick that it is unforgettable. This rare experience, when I ate butter crab in Pengcheng, I experienced 56 out of 10
...Environmental protection must start from the very beginning!
Xiao Ruoyuan bowed his hands, stood up and left the hall: Prince Teng was afraid that others would not know how much he valued Princess Jinyang! Even the little things like catching fireflies with me have to be written down in poems... I didn't drink much and was already drunk!
When Xiao Ruoyuan could no longer be seen, Li Yuanli leaned forward, approached Li Yuanying, and asked in a low voice: "Young brother, the scene in this poem is a bit lonely..."
"When you think about the way little Sizi flutters at butterflies, do you still feel lonely?" Li Yuanying glanced at Li Yuanli and asked casually. "Think about it again, wouldn't it be very artistic and romantic if you accompanied my sister-in-law to play Liuying?"
When poets write poems, unless they directly write about the difficulty of traveling, the icy rivers, or the sad autumn that often travels thousands of miles away, there is always room for twists and turns, it all depends on which angle you interpret it.
Li Yuanli: "..."
It turns out that the person who doesn't understand the style is someone? But... the little Sizi is really lively and cute when he pounces on Liuying. When he is tired, he lies on the lap of his second brother or the younger brother and listens to them telling the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. It is very warm and comfortable. The younger brother's poetry skills are actually amazing. It was so terrifying, so terrifying... I felt a deep chill!
No wonder the fifteenth brother was deceived by him into recognizing Fu and even signed a written statement!
...Why does a certain person suddenly feel that although the universe is huge, there is nowhere to settle down?
"Brother?" Li Yuanying waved his hands in front of Li Yuanli's eyes in confusion, so as not to think about something indescribable with his wife in front of someone.
……Bar?
Li Yuanli came back to his senses and saw Li Yuanying's dirty smile. He pushed his hand away and said, "I was just thinking about the scene when the little Sizi fluttered at Liuying and the second brother told her stories. I missed Aye a little."
If it weren't for the fact that my younger brother always did some outrageous things, he would be the best poet in the Tang Dynasty... He advised me in a gentle voice: "Now that you have come to the fiefdom, you are the one who made the marriage arrangements. Be more careful and don’t imitate Old Fifteen and Old Twenty.”
"Brother, I don't want to be as tired as you." Li Yuanying leaned on the soft pillow, shaking his wine glass and smiling. "Cultivation of one's self, purity of mind, internal and external integrity, a reputation that no king can match. Eleven brothers are enough. I only need to cook sheep and slaughter cows for fun, and I will have to drink three hundred cups at a time."
Yuwen Zhaoyi had the merit of rejecting the throne, making his sister-in-law the first official queen of the Tang Dynasty; Yuwen Zhaoyi helped his brother appease the Longxi gentry, and he was called the number one scoundrel and sycophant around him. The eleventh brother was especially loved by Aye because of his mother's doting. Later, there was no other son who could compare with him. It was also said that he was a young boy who could draw circles with his right hand and squares with his left hand. He could recite sutras orally and count sheep with his eyes. The forty-cross poem was written in one moment, and it is a complete five-character poem: six things are done at the same time. Known as the Fairy Boy, he even married Fang Xuanling's daughter as his concubine.
But I am not envious at all... From this point of view, Mrs. Fang's jealousy is more like some kind of zz's attitude. It's scary to think about it... She leaned forward and asked in a low voice: "Brother, who is Jiang or jealous... First?"
... Li Yuanli's head was full of questions. He was not a cook, so how could he know to put it in first... His eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of what Li Yuanying had said before, and he said decisively: "Put the ginger first, vinegar can instantly stimulate the spicy taste of ginger. , which is more correct than adding vinegar first.”
Mrs. Fang Xuanling was born in the Lu family of Fanyang. Because he fell ill when he was not yet prosperous, Lu cut out one of his eyes to express his feelings. Therefore, he respected and admired his wife and never took a concubine.
Li Yuanying leaned back on the soft pillow and drank one-third of the chrysanthemum wine in the glass: No matter how many history books you read, you will only see one-tenth or even one-hundredth of the facts. If the guess is correct, after Aye abdicated, in order to protect the fairy boy, he played a game with his brother and settled on Fang Xuanling's daughter. Fang Xuanling was troubled day and night, especially in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Du Ruhui died young.
Brother invited the ministers to a banquet. When they were full of wine and food, the wily Fang Xuanling couldn't stand the teasing of his colleagues and boasted a few words about how he was not afraid of guilt. Brother, who was already a bit drunk, even took advantage of it. When he was drunk, he was given two beauties. After many years of deep love, when Mrs. Fang saw the two young and beautiful beauties, she immediately understood the temptation behind them and became furious without any hesitation. While pointing at Fang Xuanling and yelling and cursing, he started beating with a feather duster and tried to drive the two "beauties" out of the house.
The elder brother got the attitude he wanted, and the emperor and his ministers joined forces to put on a show, labeling the reputation of Fang's daughter as jealous, and completely cut off the idea of some people to use the eleventh brother to cause trouble. According to the example of Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty, the officials of the Tang Dynasty would not agree to let a jealous woman become the queen. As a wily and calculating person like Fang Xuanling, she would naturally not do such stupid things as making wedding clothes for others and harming her own daughter.
After letting out a long breath, Li Yuanying bowed his hands to Li Yuanli and smiled lazily: "Thank you, brother, for teaching me. You can take as much of the Yellow River carp as you like tomorrow."
"If you don't open a fish restaurant, why do you need so many fish?" Li Yuanli put down his wine glass, stretched and asked. "Let's go out for a walk so that we don't have any time when the second brother sends someone to hold him accountable."
The younger brother's crab poem offended not only the political leaders, but also all the literati in the world. Here again... We two landed safely... Mainly because of... I don't have to worry about others instigating the second brother... I feel at ease. Feels great.
Li Yuanying stood up, glanced at Xia Gua indifferently, and followed Li Yuanli out of the hall. The autumn sunset was beautiful... The tooth-ache-inducing sunset and the solitary owl flew together, and the autumn water became the same color as the sky. The fishing boat sings late, and the sound is heard on the Pengli shore; the wild geese are frightened by the cold, and the sound is broken by the Hengyang Pu.
I am really, really sad!
Xia Gua silently tidied up the eucalyptus table, ignoring what was going on outside the window...
…
