Chapter Forty-Seven: The Friendship of Wine and Meat
Since then, Brother Seventeen has become a frequent visitor to the bamboo basket house, coming seven times, and five times grinding the bamboo basket to the small kitchen. Fortunately, Zhu Zhen himself is also a glutton, and four and a half of the five times have to respond to the seventeenth elder brother. After getting along for a long time, Zhu Zhen found that the Seventeen Elder Brother he came into contact with when he first met with the Seventeenth Elder Brother was not his character, he was really a sensible and quiet child on weekdays, although he often coquettished to the Bamboo Basket, but he was not as good as when he first met, and he was even often amused by the Bamboo Basket and his face was flushed, which was very cute!
Among these princes who are familiar with each other, the four beylers have never seen spicy food, occasionally dip some, taste it lightly, can't tell whether they can eat spicy, but the eighth beyler has never eaten, the thirteenth elder brother can eat spicy, but he has repeatedly become the defeated subordinate of the bamboo basket, and he is still keen to compete with the bamboo basket, as for the fourteenth elder brother, although he likes to eat spicy, but if he eats heavier, he will have a rash, yes or not to be greedy, and he will not touch it. What Zhu Zhen didn't expect was that this seventeenth elder brother was an expert in spicy food, and after careful questioning, he learned that the seventeenth elder brother's Eniang was from Shudi, so the seventeenth elder brother inherited Eniang.
On the second day of the first month of March, it was the birthday of the seventeenth elder brother, and Zhu Zhen wanted to cook a table of good dishes to relieve the hunger of this little gluttonous cat, but he never thought that the news that Kangxi was going to tour the south in February spread in the palace, and Zhang Luo was busy everywhere. Only then did Zhu Zhen remember that Kangxi had mentioned this matter before, and he also said that he would accompany him. recalled Kangxi's southern tour, February, and the southern tour of the river; Renwu, the second Jinghai; March Jihai, Shandong; Yi Si, stationed in Yangzhou; Xinhai, based in Suzhou; Ji Wei, the second Songjiang parade; Bingyin in April in the summer, stationed in Hangzhou to read and shoot; Yi You, stationed in Jiangning. Leap April, read Gaojiayan embankment work. Xin You, return to Beijing. I was not in Beijing for a month, if I remember correctly, only the prince and the thirteenth elder brother accompanied me on this southern tour, and even so, I had to cook a delicious meal for the seventeenth elder brother in advance.
I picked a day that was not worth duty, and made an appointment with the seventeenth elder brother to come over at noon, and throughout noon, the bamboo basket was busy in the kitchen. Bamboo baskets are carnivores, and the seventeenth elder brother is not far behind, so meat dishes occupy a dominant position. Thinking that he was not comfortable in the palace during the southern tour, Zhu Zhen also planned to take this opportunity to relieve his hunger. The spicy fragrant pot was promised to the seventeenth elder brother before, and the chicken wings, sweet potato chips, pork belly, green vegetables, mushrooms and other ingredients were put in full, and a large pot was fried, plus a plate of roasted pork ribs with rice wine and tangerine peel, a plate of bitter gourd stuffed meat cup, a plate of hot and sour bamboo shoots, a plate of shredded cabbage, a plate of small radish kimchi fried fragrant and dry, and a plate of red oil shutters, a plate of cold belly shreds, and a plate of saliva chicken. Things are on the table, the bamboo basket is a little embarrassed, it's all real meat, no matter what, it's originally to satisfy hunger, don't eat meat, what else is it called to satisfy hunger? As for the soup, Zhu Zhen made himself a cup of stewed fish head with Angelica dahurica, thinking that there are too many things, and he should always make up for his brain. As for the seventeenth elder brother, just eat a bowl of purple potato white fungus soup.
Before he came out, the seventeenth elder brother came early, and he came with two boys who looked older than him, and the bamboo basket was very good, it was the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother, I think they are of the same age, and they are often in one place to study and practice martial arts, and they are more intimate than others.
Zhu Ji has no opinion, anyway, there are many things, and with these two children, the food is more than enough, and the seventeenth elder brother can get along with other princes, which is also what Zhu Zhen is happy to see.
Because he and Brother Seventeen both love spicy food, there are mostly spicy dishes on the table, but fortunately, he changed his mind for a while and made something light. The dishes are far less exquisite than the imperial dining room, homely, but they are hot and just out of the pot, and furthermore, the craftsmanship of the bamboo basket is also good, so it is easy to conquer the stomach of the fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother, as for the seventeenth elder brother, it has been taken by the bamboo basket long ago.
"Bamboo basket." Before he finished eating, the voice of Four Baylor sounded outside the door. Before Zhu Ji could say anything, several little brothers slipped up from their chairs, making Zhu Ji have to sigh at the deterrent power of Sibeile in the young prince.
The door opened, and Four-Belle stood outside with a child in his arms. Receiving Zhu Zheng's puzzled gaze, Sibeile smiled and said: "This is Xiao Eighteen, I just met Mama holding him, as soon as he saw me, he insisted that I bring him over, saying that the fifteenth brother left him and came to eat delicious food." ”
Zhu Zhen teased the eighteenth elder brother and said: "There is indeed food, I made a few dishes at noon, and the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth masters came over to eat some together before using them, if you haven't eaten them, you can also use some together?" ”
Seeing that the eighteenth elder brother seemed to like the bamboo basket very much, Sibei simply sent the eighteenth elder brother into the bamboo basket's arms, and said while walking into the house: "Far away, the fragrance you have here will drill into people's noses, I have come here, and if I don't eat you, I can't say it." ”
When the fifteenth elder brother saw that the four Baylors were coming, they gave the four Baylors a thousand together, and after the gossip, they sat down separately. In front of Si Baylor, a few little brothers seemed to be a little restrained, but they were eighteen, probably not yet sensible, but they were not afraid of Si Baylor's appearance at all.
The eighteenth elder brother is still young, and the dishes on the table, except for the occasional meat filling in the bitter gourd cup, the other slightly spicy bamboo baskets dare not feed him. Look at his brother eating happily, the eighteenth elder brother is in a hurry, and he wants to eat this and that. Zhu Zhen couldn't, so he handed over the eighteenth elder brother to Sibeile, and went to the small kitchen to steam a bowl of egg custard, burned a minced meat and eggplant, and brought out a bowl of purple potato white fungus soup and brought it into the house.
Fortunately, the eighteenth elder brother is not troublesome, a meal, it can be regarded as a stop, at least he didn't let the bamboo basket carry a rice bowl and chase him all over the ground, the bamboo basket thanked the palace for the good etiquette education countless times in his heart, and the eighteenth elder brother can be so well-behaved at the age of three or four years old.
The staple food bamboo basket prepared japonica rice, Sibeile ate a small bowl, and several other little brothers ate two or three bowls, they could have eaten at this age, it is estimated that there is still a competitive factor in it, and when I was a child, I often competed with my brothers and sisters to see who ate more.
Removing the useless dishes and plates, the bamboo basket brought up the fish head soup and purple sweet potato white fungus soup. I didn't know that Sibeile would come, and the fish head soup was only boiled in one cup, but it could be eaten, but those few small things were there, and it didn't seem to be very good, so the bamboo basket served a cup of fish head soup to Sibeile.
The sixteenth elder brother saw that the fourth brother was eating differently from them, and said, "Zhu Ji, why is the fourth brother alone drinking fish soup?" I want to drink it too. ”
"Sixteenth master, this is the stewed fish head of Sichuan Qiong Angelica Angelica, which is used to replenish the brain. The fourth master works state affairs on weekdays, and he is tired and tired, so he should make up for more. Besides, medicinal herbs are added to this soup, and the sixteenth master is young, so it is harmful and useless to use too much. After signaling the purple potato white fungus soup in the hands of the sixteenth elder brother, the bamboo basket said, "This purple potato white fungus soup has the effect of replenishing qi and blood and strengthening the body and bones, and it is more suitable for the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth masters to eat at such an age." ”
"Zhuzhen, you are still proficient in medical skills?" The sixteenth elder brother asked, and the fifteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother also seemed to be interested.
Zhu Zhen smiled: "The sixteenth master has been raised, the slave and maid just turned over the idea of medical books, and roughly remembered a few sentences, where do you dare to use the word 'proficient'?" ”
The sixteenth elder brother didn't believe it, but how did the bamboo basket's mouth come out, and where was the sixteenth elder brother able to crack it open in a few words, and this question didn't continue.
The fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother got up first to say goodbye, and the eighteenth elder brother naturally had to go back together, and the fourth Belle was not at ease, so he left with them, leaving only the seventeenth elder brother who had not left.
The bamboo basket cleaned up the dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs, the seventeenth elder brother wanted to intervene, but asked the bamboo basket to stop it, and a prince helped clean up the table, and it was fatal to spread it. The seventeenth elder brother didn't insist anymore, but just followed Zhu Zong, watched Zhu Zheng wash dishes, wipe the table, and chat with Zhu Zong, and didn't go back until Mao Shi.
Not long after the seventeenth elder brother left, the fourth Belle turned back.
"Eighteenth elder brother sent back?" Zhu Zhen let Sibeile into the house and said.
"I sent it back early, and the emperor Ama answered the errand, talked to the thirteenth brother about something, and went to Eniang to sit for a while." Four Baylor sipped tea and said.
"Turn back, but what's the matter?" Zhu Zhen said, I'm afraid that the previous few little brothers were there, and Sibeile was not easy to speak.
"It's okay, it's just that it's inconvenient to speak, now sit down for a while and talk." The four bellora bamboo baskets sat down and said, "How can I think of doing so much, I am not afraid of being tired, and it is not worth resting more." ”
Zhu Zhen smiled: "Isn't the beginning of March the birthday of the Seventeenth Master?" Thinking that at that time, I was afraid that I was going to tour the south with the emperor, and I couldn't take care of it, but it was rare for the seventeenth master to like it, so I did more, but the fifteenth and sixteenth masters came, and I didn't know before. ”
"When did you get so close to Brother Seventeen?" Four Baylor pinched the palm of his hand.
Zhu Zhen smiled and withdrew his hand, and picked out some of the acquaintances with the seventeenth elder brother on the wedding day of the seventh Belle and Haoyue, as well as the things they would get along with in the future, and listened to them with the fourth beyler.
"I drank your fish head soup today, and I'll make up for the good things next to you tomorrow." IV. Baylor Road.
"That slave can wait for the fourth master, if it weren't for some precious novelties, the fourth master would not be able to take it." Zhu Zhen said with a smile.
knocked on the head of the bamboo basket, and Sibeile said angrily: "The most important head melon who can drill the camp!" Even if you are facing this problem, you should make up for it more, just think more in front of Huang Ama, and when you are not on duty in front of the emperor, you will still think about this and read that for a while, and you will not let your little head rest for a while. ”
"Yes, yes, don't I just need to make up for my own brains?" Zhu Zhen smiled good-naturedly, which made Sibeile feel distressed and angry.
"I am not with you on this southern tour, you are serving well by the side of Huang Ama. Fortunately, there are thirteen brothers on the side, and there is something to look for him, don't be reckless, you know? Sibeile stroked the sideburns of the bamboo basket and said.
Zhu Zhen smiled: "Do you think I'm the one who loves to be strong?" Don't worry, I'll take care of myself. ”
Nodding the nose of the bamboo basket, Sibeile said: "You girl, when things are good, things are handled beautifully, and if you can't turn a corner, you are more difficult than anyone else." That tone, I don't trust the bamboo basket at all.
Zhu Zhen pouted and said, "When I get outside, how many people can I know?" It's not all in the accompanying line, you ...... again" Zhu Zheng hurriedly braked the car and lost his voice.
"What am I?" Four Baylor asked with a smile.
The bamboo basket made Sibeiler blush, and he refused to say anything, and Sibeile didn't say anything, but only said softly: "I know everything." Seeing that Zhu Ji still looked embarrassed, Sibeile smiled even more and said, "Silly girl, even if I am here, I can't make you stronger." The woman, who is used to hurt, how can there be a man who hides behind a woman. ”
The bamboo cheeks are bulging, and he doesn't say it, but he is very useful in his heart.
"Joke aside, you still have to be careful, especially not to provoke ......" Four Baylor stretched out two fingers.
Zhu Zhen nodded, prince, but she couldn't hide from someone who was too late.
"When I come back, on your birthday this year, I will make a cake for you to eat, this flavor, I will only make it for you alone." Hugging each other, the eagle whispered in the ear of the four beylers.
