"Brother Imperial, Brother Imperial, what delicious food should we have for dinner? Or braised pork rice?"
Although the scapegoat daddy has gone into hibernation, with a certain prince here, everyone will not be short of food and clothing, especially when it comes to three meals a day, they can make them in different ways, and the taste will definitely be great.
The third prince Zhu Cijiong's desire for lunch and dinner is just like his surname. Yaoji thinks that this guy and Princess Changping both have two major skills. The active skill is eating, and the passive skill is hunger. When combined, they are invincible... …
Ever since he was told that he could only eat barbecue once every seven days, Zhu Cijiong's little heart was very disappointed, but the appearance of braised pork rice has filled most of the little guy's expectations.
Every day I drink sour plum soup, eat a fragrant braised pork rice, add some fruit after the meal, take a bath and have a good sleep, my life is almost like a magical pig.
"Instead of eating braised pork rice tonight, let's eat something else!"
Eating braised pork rice every day can only be used to feed the local turtles, and a lot of money is thrown to the Shangshang Supervisor. If Zhang Guoyuan's imperial chefs can't make any tricks, what is the use of raising them?
"Oh~!"
The foodie emperor is still a little disappointed. Apparently he didn't eat enough last night. He wanted to continue to make a last-ditch meal today, but his hope was in vain.
"Brother Imperial! If you don't eat braised pork rice, what will you have for dinner?"
Princess Changping, whose ears were as sensitive as radar, came in like a gust of wind. The siblings devoted great enthusiasm to the "feed" aspect.
"The perfect dish for soaking rice - fish-flavored shredded pork!"
Use this thing to cover the rice, ensuring that even those who are not foodies can easily finish a lunch box of rice.
"What kind of dish is that?"
Chang Ping and his brother were confused when they heard the name of the dish. Fish-flavored or shredded pork, fish-flavoured shredded pork or both fish and meat? The shredded meat is so thin that it seems difficult to pinch!
"Learned it from the fairy world, wait till you eat it!"
Just ask Mao Yao, even if you two know what condiments to use and seem to be able to cook them, as two "royal pigs", you are responsible for eating them, and you don't have to worry about other things.
When the "sister pig" reaches a certain age, she will be left to the prince-in-law to support her, so that she can lighten her burden a little. If she cannot get rid of the "brother pig", she can only be raised as a pet.
"Immortal world? Did you learn it?"
Princess Changping tilted her little head, still slowly thinking about the ingredients used in this dish.
"Uh...that must be delicious!"
Zhu Cijiong didn't even think about it and came to the conclusion directly, because the dishes recommended by the emperor brother before were all delicious.
At present, the diners in the rear residence are divided into several places due to their status. The emperor's sister-in-law Zhang Yan dines with Concubine Liu. The two concubines of the Wang family who have no status in the family have dinner with Concubine Liu, Concubine Fang, and Concubine Shen. , and finally, Queen Zhou, Concubine Yuan, and Concubine Tian, together with a few little ones, ate three meals a day in Kunning Palace.
At first, Concubine Tian was worried that she and her young children would be missed by the queen, but these days, everyone eats the same meal. Although everyone eats separately, the large vessels for serving vegetables and rice are all in the same set. Everyone who needs to add food must scoop it out from inside, which may be safer and more secure.
Yao Ji is also afraid that the two aunts will be murdered. If one of them "Qi Cha" dies, the news will definitely not be suppressed. Once it spreads, in the current special period, it will definitely make the people of the imperial family panic and spread rumors in the capital. You can’t mess around, and meal safety must also be given considerable attention.
The beautiful mother is determined to put on small shoes for Aunt Tian who has always looked down on her, but it is mostly out of jealousy and hatred. Her son is already the prince and has great power after prison. There is no need to deal with this waning mother and son for the time being. . If anything goes wrong, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it when the scapegoat wakes up, and the queen's position may not be guaranteed.
Yaoji has reminded his beautiful biological mother many times that there is an undercurrent in the capital, and the news of the scapegoat father's hibernation has spread to other places, and it is uncertain how big a storm it will cause. Therefore, the harmony in the queen's residence is a prerequisite for the stability of the royal family. As long as nothing happens, it's a good thing.
At the court meeting, the monarch and his ministers were already at odds with each other. If it weren't for the support of the factory guards, the Yongwei camp and the Qin soldiers, Yaoji would have been unable to hold him back. At this juncture, whoever puts eye drops on a certain prince is his enemy, including his own mother.
Yaoji eats with his biological mother and aunt every day, just to get closer and communicate with each other. If something really happens, direct communication is more effective than insinuating people. Whether it is asking for mercy or other matters, it is best if it can be done simply and quickly.
After everyone was seated, and before waiting for the servants to serve the royal meal, Yao Ji especially told everyone: "The Queen Mother and the two aunts are preparing outside. Starting tonight, except for the three fixed meals a day, it is best for everyone not to eat anything." If you eat food of unknown origin, the weather in Beijing will be very bad these two days, so you should pay special attention to your health!"
I asked the factory guards to clean up so many borers, and even the Yongwei Battalion participated in the operation. I wonder if those borers would jump over the wall, bribe the servants, and poison their own families when they were desperate. The deaths of Zhengde and Tianqi are both suspicious. It is best not to repeat the same mistakes, otherwise you will really die with your eyes open.
Combined with the curfew order coming from outside, the ice-smart Concubine Tian immediately understood what the prince said and accepted the kindness: "Thank you, Brother Hong, for reminding me!"
Since the feudal lords were hunting for moths everywhere, Yaoji ordered that anyone who went out on the streets, including officials below the third rank, overdue, would be subject to interrogation, and anyone without identification would be detained until dawn. freed.
The curfew time is from Xu hour to Chen hour, temporarily for five days, and will be considered after five days depending on the specific situation. During this period, additional patrol teams were deployed in the city, and checkpoints were set up at the intersections of first and second category streets. All city gates must be closed during the curfew and cannot be opened without the prince's order.
Whenever the patrol team encounters a suspicious person, they do not need to ask for instructions. Regardless of whether they are male or female, they can directly interrogate them. If they encounter someone who is running away, quibbling or even resisting, they can arrest them first and then report them.
According to Fang Zhenghua's report, the number of borers involved in the case has now reached more than 700. Considering that one borer has to feed a family, the number of people affected has risen to about 5,000.
But this is not the total number of people who have finally closed the case. It may be doubled by tomorrow. Yaoji just wants to see how capable they are and which borers will struggle to the death.
Since his younger brothers and sisters were present, Yaoji did not use more straightforward vocabulary to describe it. But adults will understand the phrase "the weather will be very bad". The three beauties present are not second-rate, and they can naturally understand it.
Concubine Yuan Guifei even boldly speculated that there would be rivers of blood outside. After knowing that the prince had ordered the killing of more than one group of internal servants, he would not be merciful to those rebellious officials.
After his son returned from the fairy world, he had always made his own decisions and no longer had to worry about government affairs. Empress Zhou also understood that it was inconvenient to intervene in this matter, but she still spoke softly and warned in a slightly persuasive tone: "Brother Hong, you still have to deal with it as appropriate. Don’t get too involved!”
The beautiful mother also heard that the factory guards were ordered to arrest people in the city, and some people even asked the internal servants to come to plead for mercy. However, this matter should not be mentioned at the dinner table. At most, it should be communicated with her son in private.
According to his son's consistent tough stance, anyone who dares to oppose him, whether he is a servant or an official, will most likely end up with a bad end. He cannot dissuade him, and after he has been caught, it will be difficult to let him go.
Yaoji nodded lightly and agreed gently: "Don't worry, queen, my sons and ministers have their own sense of proportion!"
The main culprit is "Kacha", and his relatives can just distribute them to mountain buildings for mining. There is no need to kill thousands of people. Before draining their remaining value, let the relatives of these borers carry the ore honestly.
If one person transports 200 kilograms of ore a day, 10,000 people can transport 2,000 tons a day, which is 730,000 tons a year. If each ton of ore contains two grams of gold, 1.46 tons of gold can be extracted, which is equivalent to 360,000 tons. 5,000 taels of silver.
The work they do in a year can pay more than 10,000 soldiers. Apart from spreading some dog food regularly, there is no need to pay them at all. As cheap miners, they are extremely cost-effective and you can use them even if you don't want to.
If unfortunately he dies, he can be buried on the spot without paying any pension. I have enjoyed happiness for such a long time. If I don’t experience the mining life that can strengthen the body and prolong life, what difference will this life have from salted fish? ? ?
According to the standard of one miner supporting one soldier, 100,000 miners can support 100,000 soldiers.
If one million miners could be organized...
It seems that there are not that many cheap miners in the empire, and ordinary coolies need to be paid to them.
According to the above transportation standards, the gold you step out every month can only be discounted to more than three taels of silver. If doubled, it will only be more than six taels. Only in this way can you make money. Only two hundred kilograms of ore per person per day is too little. Transportation volume must be increased.
The Zhaoyuan Gold Mine is allowed to be monopolized by itself. The other nearby gold mines have to discuss with the Ministry of Household Affairs and Shandong Governor Yan Jizu how to divide the accounts. If they drink soup, they will definitely explode the cat.
Non-cheap labor digs out six or seven taels worth of gold every month. After the cost, there is probably about five taels left. No matter what, I have to take 2 taels, give another 2 taels to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and keep one tael locally in Shandong.
If we organize 500,000 people to go mining, we can pocket one million taels of silver for ourselves every month, and the household department can also get the same share. Taicang can gain 12 million taels of silver throughout the year.
It will take some time to prepare this year. The output in the initial stage of mining will be low. If you only dig for half a year, you can get three to four million taels. At the worst, you will still have two million taels. If the output is low, the mine supervisor in charge of the site will It's about to be delayed.
This position is both a fat one and a dangerous one. Yaoji will pre-determine the monthly output based on the reserves of each gold mine and the number of miners. If it does not meet the expectations in three months, then someone will be sent to investigate. After all.
If it's still like this for half a year, either the person or the head will be changed. A certain prince will not spend a lot of money to raise a bunch of trash that will line his own pockets. The people below can be greedy, but the gold they hand over cannot be less.
Little guys like these around us are both greedy and sleepy. If they weren't named Zhu, they would have been sent to mine long ago...
“This is fish-flavored shredded pork???”
After Zhang Guoyuan asked for instructions, he immediately sent someone to bring the prepared new dishes to the table. Princess Changping couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at what looked like a mess of stewed vegetables on the table with seriousness.
There are red and green inside, with interlaced colors. It looks good, but I don't know if it tastes as rich as braised pork. Although the princess of the empire is young, she can be regarded as a standard "carnivore".
As for the specific way to eat it, Yaoji provides two suggestions: “One plate per person, which can be eaten sandwiched like a normal dish, or it can be directly covered with rice, so that the soup soaks directly into the rice grains, making it sweet and sour. , easier to stimulate taste buds!”
Fish-flavored shredded pork is a Sichuan dish of the 20th century, which was absolutely unavailable at this time. Chili peppers were only introduced to the empire in the late Ming Dynasty. It is believed that the earliest record of this ingredient is the "Eight Notes of Zunsheng".
It may be the earliest, or it may not be, but at least the imperial chefs who have learned a lot about this dish have never heard of it. They also spent most of the day trying to figure out how to make it, and then they made the dish they thought was the best. A portion was taken out and presented to the royal family for enjoyment.
Chili peppers, green peppers, carrots, black fungus, pork tenderloin, and bamboo shoots depend on whether you can buy them. If you can't buy them, the taste will not be bad. The main reason is that the first few ingredients are indispensable, and then it tests the skill of the chef.
Yao Ji has clearly written down the ingredients and cooking methods of this dish, and all he has to do is cook and stir-fry it himself. No matter how stupid the chefs of the Shangshan Supervisor are, they can understand it, and they should be able to master it after a few tries.
"Well, that's right! Mother, aunt, use it quickly, this dish won't taste good when it's cold!"
As the recommender, Yaoji was the first to take a bite. It felt sour, tender, and thick. Chewing the shredded meat and side dishes together will greatly stimulate the secretion of saliva. The feeling of satisfaction that fills the entire mouth can make people convinced. Speaking of which, the taste is considered to be excellent.
In order to take care of the children and avoid diarrhea after meals, Yaoji specially asked the chefs not to make it very spicy. This dish is only slightly spicy with sporadic spiciness. If the sour, smooth and mellow feeling is covered up by the spiciness, then this dish will be delicious. The fish-flavored shredded pork has lost its authenticity, and only those who love spicy food will find it delicious.
"...Oh~!"
Foodies want to make it easier for them to enjoy delicious food. After hearing his brother's suggestion, Zhu Cijiong poured a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork into his small lunch box, stirred it briefly, and then took a spoonful of it into his mouth with a porcelain spoon. inside, and then started to groan.
What Brother Shicai said is true. This dish is indeed well-deserved. The appearance does not seem to be as attractive as braised pork, but when you eat it, especially the bibimbap, the taste is really better. The soup is sweet and sour, and even the rice is delicious. Being wrapped in it is a perfect match.
"...Well, this dish is very delicious!"
After Aunt Tian sipped her lips, she couldn't help but praise. As a person from Huainan, the slightly spicy version of fish-flavored shredded pork tastes more appetizing than the braised pork that simply pursues thick oily red sauce.
Since the dinner table is dominated by women, the other three dishes of the dinner are not too meaty. In addition to the black pepper beef fillet, there are also stir-fried cabbage and tomato tofu. The combination of meat and vegetables is relatively reasonable, and the price is Not expensive either.
The friends' dislike of vegetables was completely cured by the fish-flavored shredded pork. Whether it was shredded pork or shredded vegetables, they all kept filling their mouths.
Not counting the wages paid to the imperial chefs, the cost of eating such a table of food would not be more than five taels of silver, but it would satisfy a large family.
Judging from the amount of leftovers, it can be eaten by more than a dozen personal maids. Even if the dumpster suddenly resurrects, it will be enough to add a pair of chopsticks.
Of course, as an emperor, the dumper would not look down on such a meal...
