In the past few days, Su Qingluan went to various restaurants to "find out" and gained a more comprehensive understanding of the northern food of this era.
Just like in the previous life, the bigger the city, the more inclusive it was in addition to its "local characteristics". Through the restaurants in Qingzhou, Su Qingluan discovered many things that he had never seen or even heard of in Hongfu Tower before. Dishes.
Generally speaking, the dishes of this era were still based on cooking methods such as roasting, stewing, stuffing, steaming, and cold salad. The edible oil is not only brushed on the surface of the food when baking, but also a little sesame oil is added to enhance the flavor when it is served cold, which can be regarded as very healthy and low in oil.
However, this is not because people in this era have high self-discipline, but because of the widespread lack of iron tools, which are not particularly common even in big cities like Qingzhou.
Moreover, when people use iron pots, most of them just take advantage of its fast thermal conductivity. What they most often cook is similar to the iron pots that I ate in the Northeast in my previous life, such as stew, stir-fry... It can be a little bit different.
However, Su Qingluan has no idea of teaching: just kidding, in her current situation, it is better to keep a low profile, otherwise if she attracts too many people, who will be responsible for causing unnecessary trouble?
What's more, the iron pots that appear now are all the kind that can be placed on the stove, and their sizes are very spectacular. To put it bluntly, the iron pots that first appeared in this era are not "can be held at will" in Su Qingluan's impression. Kitchen utensils in hand.”
The iron pot here is more like the big iron pot in the countryside, even more exaggerated than that. A child of one or two years old can sit in this iron pot and take a hot bath!
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan felt a little pity for the complete set of kitchen utensils placed at her home in Mu Xingzhi Huaxi Village.
In fact, Su Qingluan originally wanted to take them with him, but according to the "persona", they were only going to visit relatives who were seriously ill, and they would be able to come back in a year and a half at most, or in three to five months at least.
It would be a bit strange if Su Qingluan was too nostalgic for that set of fine iron cookware, so Su Qingluan could only reluctantly part with it, sighing in her heart that the next time she sees her beloved cookware, it will be her " When the "widow" comes back, he might be able to use "the traces of his reluctance to live with him" to take possession of that set of cooking utensils...
Thinking about her beloved small cooking utensils, Su Qingluan walked to the inn carrying the food box.
In the teahouses along the way, there were still storytellers talking in a cadence.
Su Qingluan had also stood by the roadside and listened to it several times. In addition to the standard ones such as supernatural beings and the storybook of the scholar lady, the seventh prince "Xiao Huan" who had just regained his identity recently - of course, was Mu Xingzhi's vest. Da Hao——is also a very popular protagonist of the novel.
After all, "outstanding appearance", "fighting like a god", "becoming famous as a young man", "living among the people", any label is very legendary.
When these labels all converge on one person, and that person happens to be still in Qingzhou City, this kind of legend reaches its peak, and even makes "Qingzhou", a northern city that was originally unremarkable in the country, The city seems to be stained with royal light.
...Of course, this is just the simple thought of these ordinary people.
However, as a scheming and loyal court official, Xie Xuanfan, the governor of Qingzhou, was not so optimistic. On the contrary, he had actually heard a little bit about the real reason why the seventh prince was "living among the people" a few years ago.
To put it bluntly, it is ironic. For ordinary people, giving birth to an outstanding descendant with both civil and military skills is a great joy that everyone thinks of as smoke coming out of their ancestral graves. But for a monarch whose desire for control is at its peak, he has an outstanding son, and he is also the seventh and youngest son.
This shows that when the other party is in his prime, he is getting old, which will inevitably make the heart that is unwilling to let go of power become even more distorted.
Xie Xuanfan also understood that being too outstanding in front of the old emperor was not a good thing, and might even become a thorn in the flesh, so he applied for release early and became a state pastor in a relatively remote state.
The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and Zhou Mu has certain rights to appoint and remove officials. It can be said that he is the local emperor who dominates the area.
However, unlike other state pastors, Xie Xuanfan kept a low profile even if he had power, and even seemed a bit weak to outsiders.
However, it is precisely because of this "weakness" that he has been safe and sound until now. As for other people who can jump high, the grass on the grave is as high as their own jump.
So when Xie Xuanfan knew that the Seventh Prince, the "relic in the ocean", actually appeared in his Qingzhou City, unlike the common people who were curious or flattered, he felt that he had picked up a hot potato - after all, he But I don’t think that the seventh prince, who was brave and good at fighting in his early years and was polite and military, is a soft persimmon who is easy to mess with!
Even though his mother's family had been almost wiped out due to the crime of "rebellion", and his father did not like to see him and was even afraid of him, Xie Xuanfan, who was cautious by nature, still treated the prince with caution and respect. Received it at my own house.
It's just that maybe he has lived a very difficult life in the world in the past few years, and he seems to be injured. The prince looks pale and frail, and rarely gets up to move. It seems that walking a few steps consumes a lot of energy. look like.
Even the servants in the palace came to report that the prince often stayed behind closed doors for many days and seemed to be bedridden.
Xie Xuanfan is cautious by nature and will never inquire about things that he shouldn't inquire about. Because he understood that no matter what the prince's health was like, as long as there were no shortcomings in his house, it would be the greatest "victory".
So he even suggested that the prince go to a private garden with the most beautiful scenery that he was most satisfied with to cultivate himself, and the other party was naturally happy to agree.
However, after arriving at Bieyuan, Xie Xuanfan did not dare to neglect at all. He had to take care of three meals a day, and even asked a doctor with superb medical skills to serve him anytime and anywhere, just for fear that something might happen to the other party.
At the same time, he kept praying all day long when the emperor would summon his son so that he could get rid of this potato.
Su Qingluan naturally didn't know how carefree Mu Xingzhi was living in Qingzhou - at least on the surface.
However, the stories about "Seventh Prince Xiao Huan" came to Su Qingluan one after another.
But after listening to it, most of them are very outrageous versions——
Why did the Seventh Prince survive the catastrophe? It must have been the late Empress who sent down rain from heaven, allowing His Highness to escape from the fire;
Why is it that His Highness the Seventh Prince actually came to the human world to undergo tribulations, and after the tribulations he can cultivate a golden body?
Why is the current emperor's health deteriorating because he misses his son Balabala too much...
Especially the last rumor, when Su Qingluan heard it, the content was too ridiculous. When others burst into tears listening to the words "father is kind and son is filial", she was so angry that she missed him so much that she gritted her teeth. Miss you so much?
At the same time, she also sighed: Mu Xingzhi has lived in Huaxi Village for so many years, but he has never revealed his identity, and now he has to maintain two identities at the same time. It is really not easy to be careful.
