Chapter 82: Out of the Palace
Angel rubbed her swollen head, it was a hot day, she really didn't have any extra strength, plus she was a little crazy last night, almost all her strength was exhausted, and she was awakened by hunger at the moment.
Bing'er squeezed the handkerchief of warm water, wiped her cheeks for Angel, and said helplessly, "Master, it's time for you to get up, it's time for lunch in a while." ”
"Let me sleep a little longer, I don't want to get up!" After saying that, he turned over with a teddy bear in his arms, threw the back of Bing'er's head, and continued to be her snail.
"Little master, if you think about it, even if you drink some bird's nest to warm your stomach before you sleep!" Bing'er didn't worry about anything else, seeing that Angel was so lazy, she used a lot of ice cubes in summer, if she kept on an empty stomach, she would be easy to get sick, plus she had a small stomach problem since she was a child after practicing martial arts all year round, so Bing'er had to be cautious and cautious.
Angel knew that if she had been ignoring Bing'er so much, she was afraid that she would not be able to continue to sleep, so after calling the maid next to her to wash up for a while, she put down the porcelain bowl with two spoonfuls of blood bird's nest, but that kind of sweet and greasy starch-like thing, Angel was really unaccustomed to it, and she frowned and withdrew it, "Reward you, send me a bowl of duck porridge with sauce!" ”
"Oh, the blood bird's nest I rewarded was actually disgusted by my concubine!" A bright yellow corner poured into the steps, and the man's naturally domineering aura and voice soon entered Angel's sight.
The eldest grandson Yuanhong sat beside Angel, looking at her Nunu's cheeks, maybe the porridge was drunk too quickly just now, and he didn't have time to swallow it yet, he didn't have the reserve of a noble girl at all, but for some reason there was a little more cute taste.
The eldest grandson Yuanhong actually poked his finger evilly, the soft touch of Nunu, and Angel's eyes that seemed to be asleep and woke up, really made him stop at the precipice.
Angel was full of black lines, she didn't expect that the eldest grandson Yuanhong would still be so naughty, he was simply a child who hadn't grown up, glared at the other party fiercely, and looked at him with big wet eyes with a complaining face.
Looking at the bird's nest porridge with 10,000 moving two spoons in front of him, and a bowl of sauce duck porridge that was about to bottom out, Changsun Yuanhong frowned and said angrily, "How do you serve your master?" There is only a bowl of sauced duck porridge for lunch, and there is not even a decent snack, and I don't know a monthly case in Shaohua Palace, and I can't afford to raise a palace concubine. ”
Bing'er suddenly knelt down in panic, "The emperor is angry, the master's stomach was not very good a year ago, although it has been before, but it is not so strict." The imperial doctor later instructed the master to take good care of it, but the medicine is poisonous, so the master has always preferred fruits and vegetables, and meat also likes some fish and shrimp, rarely uses greasy meat, and even less likes desserts and other foods. In recent days, the master's diet is not very regular, in the morning, the master accidentally overslept, since then there is no breakfast, the slave can only offer some liquid food, so that the master first warms his stomach. ”
The corner of the eldest grandson Yuanhong's clothes was pulled, and he suddenly waved his hand irritably, "Okay, let's bring the dim sum!" He glanced at the other party angrily, "No wonder you can't get fat!" ”
The corners of Angel's mouth pursed, her eyes were a little red, and she muttered, "That's no way, it's only good to look thinner, so slim, the concubine has gained a lot of weight after entering the palace." ”
"I can't pinch a little meat at all, and I say that I have gained a lot of weight, where is the fat?" The eldest grandson Yuanhong suddenly laughed and wanted to go up and pinch her cheek, but Angel dodged it with a smile
"Come and open your mouth, I want to see how much the big fat man eats?" The eldest grandson Yuanhong looked at the two or three kinds of dim sum on the table, as well as a small bowl of duck porridge with sauce, scooped up a shrimp dumpling and stuffed it into the other party's mouth.
The eldest grandson Yuanhong said that it was not distressed, it was false, a year ago, it was almost the day when King Guanglin entered Beijing, and the life-threatening dinner was still vivid, and Angel's health deteriorated, so it must have something to do with him.
After a small bowl of duck porridge with sauce, a small siu mai, and two or three shrimp dumplings, Angel really couldn't eat it, looked at the hand of the eldest grandson Yuanhong and shook her head, didn't speak, and was full.
Eldest Sun Yuanhong looked at her quiet and euphemistic appearance, dragging his chin, "Why don't I take you out of the palace?" ”
Angel's rigor glared at the boss all of a sudden, out of the palace? Since she came to this world, she rarely went out, and after entering the palace, she was cut off from the outside world, and suddenly heard the word "out of the palace", and she couldn't believe it, and the chick pecked her head with a peck of rice.
But they still looked at each other in disbelief, looking at each other like puppies, "Can you go out?" ”
The eldest grandson Yuanhong pinched her little nose, "It can be, but you can't go out until the evening, and it's more lively at night, I often come to Luoyang when I'm young, and I take my henchmen and eunuchs out of the palace at night." ”
"Huh!" This is the first time Angel has heard about his deeds when he was a child, and she doesn't feel two more curious: "Isn't Your Majesty a humane folk play?" ”
The eldest grandson Yuanhong smiled bitterly, "At that time, it was the queen and the concubine, at that time I was only twelve years old, and the queen and the concubine were not very old, it was the time when they liked to play, after coming to Luoyang, they ran out almost every day, and what the two of them looked forward to the most in the next few years was the summer retreat." ”
"Then, the concubine should prepare!" After saying that, she walked to the back room for a long time, and chose an ordinary dress at random, which was not embroidered with any flowers, which she wore the last time she went to ask for calla lily seeds, "Bing'er, prepare a purse for me and put some in it, two dozen silver dollars, and a few larger silver tickets, and take out my jewelry, pick up a few simple and simple ones, and bring them to my mother." ”
The eldest grandson Yuanhong suddenly cried and laughed, in order to go out to play, he lost his emperor, looking at the busy figure in the courtyard, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, as if she was so immutable, no matter what her family status was, no matter what her position in this **, her motivation to live seemed to have never changed, so not arrogant or impatient, if she could always be so......
"Your Majesty, can we leave the palace?" Angel was busy for an afternoon, waited for the lamp, waited for it to get dark, changed the gorgeous clothes on her body, put on a clear summer dress, cleaned up everything, and looked at each other pitifully, she was going out of the palace.
The eldest grandson Yuanhong didn't feel that his eyes were bright when he saw her dress, he was originally a person with green waters, but at this moment he had a different charm, and changed out of her luxurious palace clothes, a beautiful light green long skirt, and a light-colored belt tied around her waist and abdomen, and she couldn't tell at all that she was the respected Chen Guiyi in the **.
"Majesty!" Angel shouted softly, this emperor really promised himself, he won't regret it at this juncture, right!?
"Let's go, my Chenguiyi!" Holding Angel's jade-like wrist, he picked up the apple on the table, stepped into the specially prepared carriage, and set off towards that brief moment of freedom.
"Boss, I want two bowls of spicy soup and two meat buns, give you money!" Angel stretched out her little hand and gave the boss a dime of broken silver.
"Come on!"
The eldest grandson Yuanhong looked at Angel's appearance and suddenly felt helpless, "You refuse to eat dinner at home, and I am not allowed to eat dinner, just to eat this kind of snack when you come out?" ”
The corners of Angel's mouth twitched, "Although there are a lot of good things at home, you fly in the sky, swim in the water, and run on the road, which one won't find you anywhere, but what does that mean?" I specially inquired about the snacks here, and I heard that their road spicy soup and meat buns are good. ”
In the real world, Hu spicy soup originated from Xiaoyao Town, Xihua County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province, 'Hu Spicy Soup of Xiaoyao Town', and Beiwudu Town, Wuyang County, Luohe City, also has 'Beiwudu Hu Spicy Soup', the difference between the two is that Xiaoyao Hu Spicy Soup is equipped with black fungus, daylily and other side dishes, Beiwu Hu Spicy Soup is based on ** mutton soup, adding gluten, vermicelli, and green onions, which is a soup snack.
The soup stock, which is made from more than 30 kinds of natural Chinese herbs in proportion, is fragrant and spicy in the spicy soup with pepper and chili pepper and bone broth as the base. At present, it has developed into one of the snacks that every person in Henan and Shaanxi loves and knows.
There are many theories about the history of Hu spicy soup. Because its main ingredient pepper was only introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty, although there is a folk legend that Hu spicy soup was created in the Zhou Dynasty and Cao Wei, the upper limit of its production should not be earlier than that of the Tang Dynasty.
Pepper was introduced to China during the Tang Dynasty. It is estimated that the Three Kingdoms Theory is only a forgery to elevate itself. The Song Dynasty said that it is quite credible, the spicy soup is a folk snack, the classics are rarely involved, according to expert research, the ancestors of the spicy soup should be hot and sour soup and porridge, according to the "Taiping Huimin and the Pharmacy Bureau" in the Song Dynasty widely circulated, adding spicy and warm dry drugs to the food, it is estimated that it is the social trend at that time, so the spicy soup is improved on the basis of these two foods.
Take the function of decanting and eliminating food in hot and sour soup, and add meat to adapt to the taste of more levels of people and replenish qi and replenish deficiency, supplemented by ginger, pepper, star anise, cinnamon and other spices to soothe the liver and spleen. Therefore, the main taste of Henan paste and spicy soup is sour and spicy.
The first time outsiders heard about the meat sandwich bun, they all thought it was a sick sentence, which was related to the ancient Chinese, and the meat sandwich bun was actually 'meat sandwiched in the bun'.
The common people don't need to talk about it in a crepe way, plus Shaanxi people are anxious, straightforward, omitting the word 'Yu', shouting up to be bento, just like eating noodles without chewing, there are fast and slow, just like the world-famous mutton steamed buns, you can't be in a hurry when eating, and it is an opportunity to chat with friends when breaking buns.
The way to eat the steamed bun (baked cake) and add ingredients is called sandwich bun. The meat sandwich is called meat sandwich bun, the vegetable sandwich is called vegetable sandwich bun, and there are big oil sandwich buns, spicy sandwich buns, etc.
Meat sandwich bun is actually a wonderful combination of two foods: cured pork and white Ji bun. The meat sandwich bun is combined with bacon meat and white Ji bun as a whole, complementing each other and bringing their respective tastes to the extreme. The steamed meat is crispy, fat but not greasy, and the aftertaste is endless. Bacon has a long history and is famous in China, and with white Ji Bao, it has the reputation of Chinese burger, which is famous at home and abroad, and is deeply loved by people.
The bacon meat sandwich bun is carefully prepared by more than 30 kinds of seasonings, due to the fine selection of materials, the fire power to the home, and the use of old soup, so the bacon meat is different, with ruddy color, fragrant smell, soft and glutinous meat, millet but not rotten, rich and mellow, unique flavor.
In later life, Angel has been to a lot of places, and she will never miss this snack when she goes to Luoyang.
After hearing this, the eldest grandson Yuanhong shook his head and laughed, waved his robe, picked up a bench and sat down casually, "Another silver bar!" ”
Silver strips, also known as grass stone silkworms, Luohan vegetables, screw vegetables, etc., the staple food underground tubers, the meat is crisp and tender, no fiber, can be salted, sauce, cold dressing, etc., the flavor is unique, rich in nutrition.
The silver bars in this era are not like ancient China, this kind of thing is used as the emperor's tribute dish, and there are many such snacks among the people, but what puzzles Angel is that the eldest grandson Yuanhong actually knows this kind of thing.
The eldest grandson Yuanhong saw her with a strange look, "You forget, it's not the first time I've come to Luoyang, and of course it's not the first time I've tasted the silver bar." ”
"Ahh Angel wiped her head aggrievedly, she forgot whether it was okay or not, and pouted, "Do both the eldest lady and the lady Jing like silver bars?" ”
Eldest Sun Yuanhong shook his head, "It's not, I like silver bars more, and I feel that it is more refreshing to eat with it, especially in summer." The eldest lady and Mrs. Jing were a little disgusted when they came out to eat for the first time, and when they watched me eat with relish, the two of them hesitated to put down the chopsticks, the eldest lady likes tamales, and Mrs. Jing likes potstickers more. ”
Angel was a little surprised after hearing this, "Boss, let's have some vinegar!" ”
"Oh, okay! Give this is your vinegar! ”
Angel took a small white porcelain bowl, although it is a roadside stall, but there are indeed a lot of customers, and the food is relatively fresh and clean, scoop up a spoonful of vinegar and pour it into the spicy soup, but there is still something wrong, scoop up three or four spoonfuls in a row, but it is still not very good.
Seeing such a scene, Changsun Yuanhong immediately stopped her, "Okay, your stomach is not good, this spicy soup is already sour enough, can you still drink this?" Boss, come back to a bowl of spicy soup! ”
"Childe, I really love my wife! However, according to the old woman, this little lady of yours is most likely to have such a heavy sour taste, she doesn't even frown, except for people who are not afraid of sourness, it is probably a person who has a body like this, you young people are really careless now, a woman's pregnancy is a big deal......"
The stall owner here is a couple who are close to the age of sixties, and after the mother-in-law served a bowl of spicy soup with her hands and feet, she wiped her hands with the bib in front of her clothes, and looked at the eldest grandson Yuanhong and Angel in front of her with a funny face.
Angel almost squirted out and smiled awkwardly, "I don't have any reaction, I just like to eat sour things." ”
The old woman smiled after hearing this, "Madame's teeth are not thick, so can eat sour, she will definitely be a good child in the future, we also have a special girl in the village who can eat sour, married to a landlord, and then gave birth to eight little fat people in one breath, she has been extravagant to want a daughter." ”
Angel suddenly felt speechless, and she wanted to shrink her head into the bowl, but the sight on the other side could not be ignored by her.
"Let's get a doctor to check it out when we go back!" The eldest grandson Yuanhong felt that this was fine, his heirs were not very plump, and although Angel was not the kind of dear and beloved in his heart, he was better than some other women in the palace.
If Angel is pregnant, it must be a good choice, if it is a prince, she must be as smart and clever as her in the future, and if she is a princess, she must have the same appearance as her, it must be an extremely wonderful thing.
Angel poked the bowl, looking very entangled, her menstrual affair had just ended, how could she be pregnant, but it was not easy to refute the person in front of her, and nodded her head weakly, "Oh! ”
Peony is the essence of Luoyang, almost every slightly wealthy person will have a peony in their home, but, fortunately, this kind of person who buys flowers in the night market is relatively rare, if there is, there are only a few little girls, dragging a few young men and women to buy flowers and wear them on their sideburns.
The eldest grandson Yuanhong played with the dewy lily in his hand, in his memory, the queen and Concubine Jing were very fond of precious flowers, but she preferred some unknown flowers, and last time she also moved a pot of calla lilies, although the calla lilies are tribute flowers from foreign domains, but they can't grow flowers that don't have much value, it's meaningless.
Angel touched her stomach without a trace, just now she drank a bowl of hot and sour soup, ate a meat bun, and a small half bowl of silver bars went into her stomach, but she didn't know why, she was still very hungry, for fear of being called a snack by the emperor.
Angel doesn't know what's going on lately, she has to eat four or five meals a day in terms of diet, and there is no rule at all, if it weren't for Bing'er's fear that she would hurt her stomach, she has been controlling her diet, and she doesn't know what to do.
Seeing that Angel's face was a little wrong, as if he was worried about something, Changsun Yuanhong turned his head and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Angel was a little embarrassed, but she didn't dare to tell the emperor, she was hungry again, "Your Majesty, I heard that the Luoyang palace lantern is good, and the concubine's lantern hasn't been selected yet, what kind of look is it to make, why don't you take me to see the folk palace lantern first?" ”
"Really!?" The eldest grandson Yuanhong obviously looked like I didn't believe it, he had lived in ** for many years, and he could be regarded as a person who could hold a little sand in his eyes.
Angel's little face turned red, and she shook the corner of his clothes, "Your Majesty, can you let someone buy a little Yanjin and talk about Meilai, the concubine knows that she just eats, and she really shouldn't be, but she just wants to taste that taste." ”
The eldest grandson Yuanhong suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't know that Chen Guiyi also had a moment when he couldn't raise his head.
