Chapter Fifty-Eight: Pearl Jade White Jade Soup

According to Lin Yi's script, the first part of "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup" can be filmed in the suburban film and television city, and it doesn't cost much, and the second part of the palace drama has to go to the big film and television city to rent attractions, and the group performances, costumes, props, etc., are relatively high, and that is where the money is spent.

So early the next morning, the assistant director was dispatched to contact the rental scenes in the major film and television cities, and at the same time started filming the first part.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you come to Zhu Yuanzhang? Who can play well if you don't act?" Director Jin said with a bitter face.

"According to folklore, Zhu Yuanzhang is not good-looking, how can a handsome person like me play Zhu Yuanzhang?" Lin Yi said with a smile, "Let Xiaobao come, his acting skills are no problem, he will definitely be able to do it." ”

"No, Mr. Lin, that's playing the emperor, I really can't play it well......" Wang Xiaobao said, the appearance of this product is really not good, a knife shaves a long face, and there is a bit of goldfish eye feeling, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a good person, you have always played a bully, bandit or something like that in a group, and the role of the emperor is not at all related.

"Okay, I said you can do it, Master Zu will bless you!" Lin Yi patted Wang Xiaobao on the shoulder and said, "Director Jin, let's get ready to start, we have to finish filming this story tonight, time is limited, don't delay." ”

Director Jin nodded helplessly and began to beckon everyone to prepare, and Lin Yi and Xiao Ai also ran to change their clothes.

Lin Yi's script changed the identities of the two beggars to a beggar couple - no way, there are no female characters in the original commentary, so Xiao Ai can't be prevented, right?

But as soon as the costume was changed, Xiao Ai almost cried, but Lin Yi laughed.

According to the plot setting, the season in which the story takes place should be late autumn - the jadeite in the pearl jade white jade soup, that is, spinach, is only available in autumn and winter. So the clothes should also be in line with the season, Xiao Ai is wearing a torn cotton jacket full of patches, her hair is also scattered and messy, she is holding a dog beating stick, and a broken basket, the image is really too contrasting.

"You're still laughing!" Xiao Ai said angrily.

"Haha, look at me, it's worse than you. Lin Yi said with a smile, his dress was the same as Xiao Ai, and even better, and a wooden stick was tied to the crook of one of his legs, so that the leg could not be bent, so as to dress up as a lame.

"Alas, no, Xiao Ai is so beautiful, she doesn't look like a beggar in such a dress. Director Jin also smiled.

"Well, I'm going to have to put some dirt on her face. Lin Yi said seriously.

"Okay, hurry up and finish the shooting, wearing this will heat people to death." Xiao Ai shouted.

Although the sun has gone down at this time, the temperature is still more than 30 degrees, not to mention wearing cotton jackets, even the crew who have not changed their costumes are too hot. When an actor is the most painful about this, the most fearful thing is to play winter plays in summer, and summer plays in winter, which is simply called torture.

So each group prepared and started shooting.

The story of pearl jade and white jade soup is that Zhu Yuanzhang became a beggar in despair, one day he didn't want to bring food, he fell ill with cold and hunger, and met two beggars in a broken temple, and the beggar made a pot of chowder soup with leftover rice, cabbage gangs, spinach leaves, and rancid tofu, and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a bowl. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was blind in the black light, ate a fragrant food, and felt that it was the best delicacy in the world, and he was cured the next day after eating, so he asked the two beggars what this was, and the beggar said that this was called "pearl jade white jade soup", Zhu Yuanzhang remembered this name, and later became the emperor, and he was tired of eating the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and he always felt that it was not as good as the pearl jade white jade soup of the year, and ordered the imperial dining room to make it.

But where do the imperial chefs know what kind of dish this is, pearls can be ground into powder, and it is said that eating them can also beautify the skin, how can you make jade and white jade? That thing can't be bitten.

This made it difficult for the imperial kitchen, but the emperor issued a holy decree, and he couldn't do it, so he boiled the pearls, jade, and white jade in water and gave them to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry at once.

If the imperial chef doesn't do anything, then send the emperor list, and sincerely recruit people who can make this pearl jade and white jade soup all over the world.

And those two beggars were still beggars back then, and when they saw the emperor's list, they went to reveal it, and the local county magistrate saw it, and then sent the person to the capital in person. Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and recruited the beggars to the palace, and he was almost angry to death when he saw it - the county master only cared about sending people over, and he didn't even say anything about changing clothes for the two beggars.

Yes, the emperor personally rewarded it, and transferred the county prince to the two beggars to help, announcing that he would invite hundreds of civil and military officials to eat pearl jade and white jade soup together.

The beggar entered the imperial dining room, and arranged for the imperial chefs to put less water in steaming rice, and it was best to paste the pot, picking cabbage only needs help, picking spinach only needs old leaves and roots, and tofu has to be put to use. I was ready to stop, and on the day of the feast, I used the cauldron for cooking for the eunuchs to stew those things in a mess, and I didn't even put salt.

What does that smell like?

The ministers are still looking forward to it, listen to the name, pearl jade and white jade soup, what a high-end atmosphere and high-grade?

But when the eunuchs and palace maids brought it up with delicate small bowls, the ministers were dumbfounded, but the most dumbfounded was Zhu Yuanzhang, who ate such a thing back then? This thing is fed to pigs, and pigs don't necessarily like to eat it!

But there is no way, the pit he dug himself has to be buried by himself, Zhu Yuanzhang pinched his nose and ate it, and the ministers could only eat it along. After eating, Zhu Yuanzhang asked the ministers if it was delicious? Can this be said to be delicious? They nodded their heads one after another--I really couldn't swallow the last bite, and I still had it in my mouth.

So Zhu Yuanzhang said, if it's delicious, then there will be another bowl, this time for a big bowl! Then the ministers "wow" and spit it all on the Jinluan Palace......

The original story is really not called food, it is purely a joke about the ugliness of Zhu Yuanzhang and the minister, the laughing fruit is good, which is inconsistent with the "Food" column.

So Lin Yi modified it, and made Zhu Yuanzhang's image a little more "insidious", and it became that he wanted to use pearl jade and white jade soup to test the ministers, in fact, the bowl he ate himself was different from the ministers', but made separately - cabbage diced, which can be used as pearls, spinach with tender hearts, tofu of course can't be rancid, the most important thing is, of course, to put seasonings, the soup made is light and delicious, for the emperor who delicacies the mountains and seas every day, it is also a delicacy in the world.

But what the ministers ate was pig food, but none of them dared to tell the truth, so Zhu Yuanzhang punished each of them for a big bowl!
