Chapter 90: The streets are full of gluttonous snacks
As soon as the sky was bright, Ye Wanqiu gently woke up Mo Xingyao, who was asleep on the bed, Mo Xingyao heard A-Niang's call, sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked outside again, and saw that it was still gray outside, he yawned and asked, "Mother, why did you wake up the child so early today, I'm so sleepy!" Ye Wanqiu looked at Mo Xingyao, who woke up from sleep, and couldn't help but smile, this kid is just forgetful, he just forgot about going to the palace last night.
"Yao'er, you forgot, today you are going to go to the palace with your father, this palace is far away from the general's palace, so you have to leave early, otherwise the city gate is closed, Yao'er will not be able to enter, so Yao'er, hurry up and have breakfast, go with your father." Ye Wanqiu said, his hands did not stop, and he changed Mo Xingyao into the exquisite clothes that he had prepared last night, this is the first time he entered the palace, he naturally had to wear it very well, not to mention that there are children of the Great Khan today, and he must wear a new one, so as not to embarrass the Tang Dynasty.
Ye Wanqiu waited for Mo Lin to put on his clothes, Ye Wanqiu put on a purple robe embroidered with green patterns on the inside of Mo Lin, covered with a bright silk milky white cardigan back, and turned the robe upside down, tucked into the white jade belt around the waist, and wore white deerskin boots on his feet, which was convenient for horseback riding, looking at the dignified and dignified general, Ye Wanqiu thought, Yao'er is eight years old, the general is still so majestic, the jade tree is in the wind, and when he goes out, he still makes everyone not angry.
When Mo Lin and Mo Xingyao hurriedly finished their breakfast, the sky was much brighter, when Mo Xingyao had breakfast, Ye Wanqiu explained that Mo Xingyao should abide by the rules when he went to the palace, not to run around, not to talk nonsense, Mo Lin looked at Mo Xingyao who nodded, and said to Ye Wanqiu, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him, I will come back after lunch, you don't need to worry too much." Ye Wanqiu heard Mo Lin say this, and nodded, Mo Xingyao followed the general, and nothing should happen.
Qinglong and Chihu have prepared horses to wait at the gate of the General's Mansion, Mo Xingyao followed Mo Lin out of Zhiqiu Courtyard, rushed to the front yard, and then out of the General's Mansion, Mo Xingyao went out of the beast head gate of the General's Mansion for the first time, he was curious to look here, look there, the two soldiers in armor at the door saw the general and the major general come out, and hurriedly curtsied, Mo Lin stepped on his sweaty and bloody horse, and asked Qinglong, "Have you taken the Young General's Xingyue Sword?"
"General Hui, the Xingyue Sword is now in my hand, is it now for the young general's waist, or is it on the other at the gate of the city?" Qinglong hugged his fists and said, the general has a heart, this is the first time to go to the palace, and he still wants to bring the Xingyue Sword given to the young general by the emperor himself.
"Let's go to the gate of the city and get on it, okay, let's leave early." Ye Wanqiu hugged Mo Xingyao into the carriage, kissed Mo Xingyao's forehead again, and waved his hand at him reluctantly, Mo Lin said to Ye Wanqiu, who was reluctant, "Madam, go back early and rest, we will come back early." ”
Ye Wanqiu also waved at them, and Qinglong shouted, "Let's go." The mighty soldiers rushed towards the palace with General Mo, Mo Xingyao sat alone in the carriage, lifted the sedan curtain, and looked at the outside world, it was really lively, the small stall vendors were selling there, there were many delicious things he had never seen before, what were the strings, and the pancakes, it was delicious to look at, all kinds of pastries, and other delicious things, people were walking one after another, and he was dazzled by the sight, the outside of the general's mansion was really lively, so many people, so lively, It's much more lively than the General's Mansion.
Mo Lin looked at the little head poking out of the carriage, and he said to Qinglong, "You go and accompany him." Qinglong got off the horse, lifted the curtain, and sat up, Mo Xingyao was looking outside with relish, but he didn't expect Qinglong to sit up coldly, remembering that the general reprimanded him for archery yesterday, he knew that it must be Qinglong's complaint, thinking that he was even more angry, he looked at Qinglong and couldn't help but roll his eyes, ignore him, and continue to look out of the sedan chair.
Qinglong saw the white eyes of the young general, knowing that he must still be angry for his small report yesterday, he thought about it, and sat next to him from the opposite side of Mo Xingyao, Mo Xingyao saw Qinglong sitting next to him, moved his little buttocks, and sat down next to him, Qinglong thought in his heart that this young general, his temper is really big, seeing the young general looking at the delicious food outside, he thought in his heart that the young general must not know those food, Qinglong said to himself, "That string of strings, tied to the straw, but called rock sugar gourd, sweet and sour, It's sweet on the outside and sour on the inside, but it's delicious. ”
"Why are there two flavors, I've never tasted them, why is the inside sour and the outside sweet." Sure enough, when Mo Xingyao heard what he was eating, he turned his head and asked Qinglong curiously, Qinglong was happy in his heart, the young general liked to eat, this trick was the best for him, he pretended to be contemplative, and did not reply, Mo Xingyao saw that Qinglong held his chin and did not reply, and hurriedly became anxious, "Qinglong, you say it quickly." ”
Qinglong saw that the young general was in a hurry, and hurriedly replied, "This rock sugar gourd, it is hawthorn inside, and the hawthorn major general has eaten it." Mo Xingyao nodded and said, "I've eaten hawthorn, it's sour and delicious, I can eat a lot of it." ”
"That's right, but this hawthorn is also wrapped in a layer of rock sugar, just like this hawthorn, wearing a dress, this rock candy bite is crispy and sweet, this bite down, but sweet with sour, sour with sweet, but delicious." Qinglong looked at the young general who was swallowing saliva, the young general is eight years old, the general protects him very well, and he has never let him out of the general's mansion, for fear of any accidents, but for an eight-year-old child, he has never seen the wonderful world outside, and it is also quite cruel, but this is also no way, the general has too many enemies, and the safety of the young general must be in the first place.
"Qinglong, you said it in such detail, have you eaten it!" Seeing Qinglong nodded, Mo Xingyao muttered with some annoyance, "Even you have eaten it, I haven't eaten it, it's so pitiful." Seeing the young general's appearance, Qinglong hurriedly comforted, "Young General, don't be sad, when you go back to the general's mansion, you will tell your wife that you want to eat rock sugar gourd, and ask Xiao Xiazi to make it for you." ”
"Okay, yes, Qinglong, look, what else is delicious, you hurry up and tell me, I'll write it down, go back to the general's mansion so that Xiao Xiazi can make it all for me." Mo Xingyao heard Qinglong's good idea, and quickly clapped his hands, very happy, he looked out of the sedan chair with wide eyes, and listened to the introduction of Qinglong sitting next to him one by one, this Qinglong, today is not annoying.
"Young General, that bird-like thing can be eaten, that is called sugar painting, also called pouring sugar people, you see that the master in the process of making or lifting, or pause, or put, the action is chic and free, just like the great painter is splashing ink to paint, in less than a minute, you can draw the shape of various animals or flowers and birds, very sweet and delicious, the young general must love to eat." Mo Xingyao looked at the master who made the sugar painting curiously, his movements were like flowing water, and he made a variety of sugar paintings in less than a while, so beautiful, Qinglong also said that he could eat it, and he really wanted to go down and buy a bunch.
"The young general saw that the yellow long thing is not, that thing is called steamed dumplings, this tastes crispy, bright in color, not greasy, if it is paired with the goat's milk that the young general loves to drink, you can taste the unique delicacy of steamed dumplings, Su Dongpo once wrote "Cold Tools" for this thing, "Slender hands are rubbed into jade and counted, and the green oil is fried out of tender yellow and deep." The night comes and the spring sleep is not serious, and the beauty is wrapped in gold. This poem means the scene of a beautiful woman making steamed dumplings, first kneading the noodles into thin strips with her hands, and then frying them in an oil pan until golden brown. You see, why the general asked you to learn homework and memorize poems, so that you can learn more knowledge, if you know Su Dongpo's poem, do you know this thing. Qinglong looked at the young general and nodded, this kid has to say good things, if he adds food, then he will be even happier.
"Young General, look, it's sour plum soup, it's delicious, black plum is added with honey, it tastes sweet and sour, it's Poria cake, fragrant, and delicious." Qinglong looked at the young general who was about to drool and smiled, this kid loves to eat, but unfortunately these snacks outside the general's mansion have never been eaten.
"Okay, it's too much at once, I can't remember, Qinglong, you help me remember all this food, and when I go back to the general's mansion, you can tell Xiao Xiazi, and I will ask Xiao Xiazi to make it for me." Mo Xingyao licked the corners of his mouth, why haven't he arrived at the palace after walking for so long, and when he heard Qinglong say so many delicious foods, the little gluttonous worm in his stomach was seduced out again, and he was really a little hungry.
"Okay, young general, after we go back, I'll tell Xiao Xiazi, but if you can eat these, you have to ask Madame, if Madame agrees, then you can eat it." Qinglong looked at the young general who rubbed his belly, and sneered, Qinglong looked outside the carriage, it was almost to the palace, the carriage stopped, it should be the gate of the Xuanwu Gate of Taiji Palace, Qinglong pinned the star-moon sword specially given by the emperor to the young general's waist, and smoothed the young general's clothes and patted it.
After a while, a soldier in charge of the inspection opened the curtain, looked at the young general, bowed his hand, and the soldier caught a glimpse of the Xingyue sword pinned to the young general's waist at a glance, and he was about to speak, Qinglong spoke first, "The first time the young general met the emperor, this is when the young general was not born, the emperor specially rewarded the young general, this is not brought to the emperor to meet the emperor, I am afraid that it is disrespectful to the emperor." ”
