22. Qin Shi Huang's cooking
Chapter 22: Qin Shi Huang's Culinary Skills
Ying Zheng and Jin Ke finished eating the bowl of cold skin and led the horse to walk in Xianyang City. Gradually, the moon peeked out of the clouds, and there was no one left in the city.
Two people strolled slowly in the moonlight.
"Shall we go back tonight?" Jin Ke asked. As far as Jin Ke knows, Xianyang Palace is under curfew. Although Jin Ke also knew that Ying Zheng's evil face was a pass wherever he went, the two of them ran out secretly after all. It's not good to go back on such a big night!
Ying Zheng said: "It's so late, all the shops in Xianyang City that can stay are closed." Where do we live if we don't go back to the palace? Do you want to sleep on the street? â
"It's not bad to be in the dust!" Jin Ke said: Anyway, on such a hot day, I can't freeze.
"Behind the scenes?" Ying Zheng was puzzled, "What does this mean?" â
I'll it! Jin Ke subconsciously silenced: This kind of idiom is not complete in the pre-Qin period. The times are developing, and the idioms will be constantly updated. If Ying Zheng doesn't know the meaning of the curtain on the earth, it means that this idiom only appeared later. Oh my God, this idiom won't come out early because I came out! What a sin!
"Nothing interesting!" Jin Ke explained, "What I made up randomly means sleeping outside!" â
"I don't want to live on the street!" Ying Zheng said. After all, Yingzheng still understands his own laws, and it is possible to be arrested if he sleeps on the street for no reason. Those little officials don't know who they are.
"Let's go back then!" Jin Ke said, "It's so late, it's time to go to bed!" â
"Sleep?" Ying Zheng looked at Jin Ke with a wicked smile and leaned into his ear, ""
After listening to what Ying Zheng said in his ear, Jin Ke's face turned red. Ying Zheng whispered: "Go back to your sleep, I will sleep you!" If you want to say the meaning of "sleep", Jin Ke popularized it to Ying Zheng himself, but he didn't expect Ying Zheng to tease himself on the street. Sure enough, the face of the first emperor through the ages is not thin.
"!" Jin Ke scolded, "Make a face!" â
The two of them laughed all the way back to Xianyang Palace.
Outside the Xianyang Palace, looking at the gorgeous Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng and Jin Ke glanced at each other: they didn't want to enter this gorgeous cage, there was no freedom. Even if they are two of the most noble people in the world, even if they stand at the pinnacle of power, they are not free.
When they arrived at the dormitory shared by the two of them, Black Bean and Huang Dou ran to Jin Ke with some excitement. They haven't left Jin Ke for so long since they were children, and if Jin Ke doesn't come back, it is estimated that they will all feel that Jin Ke doesn't want them anymore.
Jin Ke squatted in front of the black beans and soybeans, appeasing this and that one.
"You're so close to them!" Ying Zheng was a little unhappy. As long as Jin Ke sees these two dogs, Yingzheng will fall out of favor.
Jin Ke said: "Of course. Dogs are my favorite animals, they are vicious, but they are also loyal! â
"Loyalty? Would you believe these things? Ying Zheng said.
"Don't you believe it?" Jin Ke said, "You are the emperor, and the whole country is yours!" If you don't believe in loyalty, then how are you going to appoint your courtiers? â
"Only when the power is firmly in my hands can I dare to mention trust!" Ying Zheng said.
Jin Ke looked at Ying Zheng a little strangely, he knew that a monarch with great ambitions like Ying Zheng would not have a lot of trust in his courtiers. In fact, the people that Ying Zheng once wanted to believe, such as Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji, did not repay Ying Zheng's trust. Even later, what Ying Zheng didn't know was that Zhao Gao and Li Si, whom he trusted, teamed up to push his Great Qin Empire to its demise.
"Yingzheng, you can actually trust me!" Jin Ke said, "I'm not interested in your power. If you don't have someone you can trust in your whole life, you will be very tired. I don't want you to be so tired! â
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "I believe in you! I know that you are the only person in this world who truly treats me! â
"Well, in order to thank me for saving my zĂ i, you have to prepare a meal for me tomorrow!" Jin Ke has to make inches.
"Good!" Ying Zheng said, "Queen, I spoil you so much. Are you doing something? â
"No way!" Jin Ke boldly and cruelly rejected Ying Zheng, "Sleep, I'm too tired today!" You are not allowed to do anything! â
If Ying Zheng had read the magical president's article, he would definitely say: "You unruly little goblin, I must have spoiled you too much to make you so presumptuous!" But Ying Zheng didn't read the magical president text of the later generations, so Ying Zheng just said: "I don't feel tired!" You sleep! â
How are you? Jin Ke scolded angrily in his heart, and said: "Do you want to be like this, we are all old husbands and old husbands, can you not think about this kind of thing every day?" You're the king of a country, and it's not right to indulge in alcohol! Have you forgotten that the king of 纣 favors himself and the king of You's love for praise? They all lost a country because of their addiction! â
"How can those vixens compare to my Jin Ke?" Ying Zheng's love words are getting more and more slippery, and in Jin Ke's opinion, they are becoming more and more shameless. "My Jin Ke is not only good-looking, but also can help me govern the country!"
"Hehe!" Jin Ke said, "You are born to be good-looking!" No one looks better than you! "Ma Dan, handsome and chic, graceful, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, sideburns and knife cutting so many idioms to describe Lao Tzu's handsomeness, even with a clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes is much better than this word! But you actually describe Lao Tzu as good-looking? Isn't that a word for a girl? You uneducated!
"I'm not as good-looking as you!" Ying Zheng said, "Didn't that little doll not long ago say that you were born better than his mother?" â
The little doll that Ying Zheng said was Meng Chai, the youngest son of General Meng Tian's family. Ying Zheng saw that Jin Ke was bored, and remembered that he had a good time with Hu Hai at the beginning. It's just that now that Hu Hai has grown up, he can no longer play with Jin Ke, who has nothing to do, every day. Yingzheng asked Meng Tian to send his three-year-old son to the palace, which was called a companion for the little son of Hu Hai, but in fact, everyone knew that Meng Chai was in the palace to accompany the queen.
"How dare you say it!" Jin Ke said angrily, "What did you let that little doll call me?" By the way, you let him call me Niangniang! You're a mother! Really! Jin Ke can't forget being chased by a three-year-old child with his butt twisted and called Niangniang, that feeling was really drunk
On the second day, Jin Ke got up very late. Later, Jin Ke calculated that he got up early for more than 300 days a year. In fact, the rumors that Yingzheng died of illness and overwork are all false! Jin Ke felt that according to his own personal experience, Yingzheng should obviously be exhausted!
"Queen, Your Majesty, please move to the imperial study!" Zhao Gao came in to report after Jin Ke got up and washed.
"Where?" Jin Ke heard such a thing as the imperial study? According to Jin Ke's limited historical knowledge, such a magical thing as the imperial study appeared in the Qianlong Dynasty. Could it be that the Qin Dynasty also had it?
"No, no, no!" Zhao Gao hurriedly said, "The minister is wrong! It's a dining room! At this time, Zhao Gao was a comic, and he could say the two-word "dining room" into the three-word "imperial study". If you join Zhao Gao to be a translator, then there will definitely be nothing that can be negotiated!
When he heard the word "dining room", Jin Ke already had a premonition. originally thought that Ying Zheng was just talking about it, but he actually did it.
Jin Ke followed Zhao Gao to the dining room, and what he saw was Yingzheng sweating profusely. Also, in such a hot weather, and there is no air conditioning fan, just relying on ice to make cold air really doesn't work.
His own man has to feel distressed by himself. Jin Ke stepped forward, wiped his sweat for Ying Zheng, and said, "Are you stupid?" On such a hot day, you won't wait for it to cool down for a while, will you? â
Ying Zheng said: "I only have time here!" â
The palace people on the side all lowered their heads so much that they couldn't lower any longer, and they didn't dare to look at it. Sure enough, His Majesty loved the queen very much. The words that the queen said just now were absolutely disrespectful, but the emperor was still very happy!
"What did you do?" Jin Ke was a little curious, he smelled the fragrance. Could it be that Ying Zheng's cooking skills are very good? â
Jin Ke is very conflicted, on the one hand, he doesn't want Ying Zheng to even think that he will be very useless; On the other hand, Jin Ke thought that this almost all-powerful man was his own, and he felt so proud.
"I made a fish!" Ying Zheng said, "That's basically all I do!" â
"Fish?" Jin Ke likes to eat fish, but because he is sloppy and often gets stuck by fish bones, he doesn't like fish very much.
"I know you don't like fish!" Ying Zheng said, "So I just want you to taste it!" I also asked them to prepare others, and you can eat something else in a moment! â
"Who says I don't like fish anymore?" Jin Ke said, "The fish you made for me, don't rob me for a while!" â
Jin Ke tasted the fish made by Ying Zheng, because there were no various seasonings, so the taste was a little bland. But it's delicious. To describe it in a more zen-like sentence, it can be said: this dish poured into the chef's heart!
Ying Zheng looked at Jin Ke expectantly, after all, it was the first time to cook for someone on the top of his heart, and he also cared about the other party's opinion.
Jin Ke smiled at Ying Zheng and said, "It's delicious!" Your Majesty, your cooking skills are really good! â
