Chapter Fifty-Nine: Your Majesty, This Frog Minister's Feeling Familiar (Part 2)
It was noon, and the people selling things in Zhangjia Village were reluctant to eat, and Emperor Li Longji had to eat.
The people from the Shangshi Bureau came, bringing with them the food from the imperial kitchen, as well as the food from outside.
Li Longji was very happy today, so he left three prime ministers and a Shangshu to eat together in the Xingqing Palace.
Everyone watched, watched the people who tried the food eating there.
The recipes for the meals were all learned from Li Yi Zhuangzi, and the chefs were required to keep them strictly confidential.
The meal system, with a folding table in front of each person and folding chairs, was also learned from Li Yi Zhuangzi.
And then......
They saw a dish with a few frogs on a plate that were fairly intact and had no skin.
A few people who tried it also saw it, exchanged glances, took a deep breath, stretched out their chopsticks, and picked them up to eat.
Originally, with a hint of heroism, but when I ate it in my mouth, I couldn't stop.
A frog enters the stomach, and it still wants to eat, so hold back.
Li Longji and Zhang Shuo, Lu Huaishen, Yao Chong, and Wei Zhigu stared, can they eat? It's still delicious?
Wei Zhigu swallowed his saliva, he was in a good mood, and His Majesty brought himself to eat, indicating that His Majesty did not plan to continue to clean himself up.
Yao Chong was depressed, he knew what was going on, Wei Zhigu ran to Li Yi Zhuangzi that day, and turned around to send twenty craftsmen.
The things of water conservancy are already being prepared, and Wei Zhigu has regained His Majesty's attention.
They thought, wait, wait for the person who tastes it to be fine.
Fortunately, this time I found a good solution, there is a box made of iron sheets underneath, there is hot water in the box, and the tray of vegetables is stuck on it.
I still learned from Li Yi Zhuangzi's canteen, but Zhuangzi is in a big box card slot, and there is hot water in the slot.
If so, the food will be warm if nothing happens to the person who tastes it.
Why didn't you think of it before?
A quarter of an hour passed, and it was good.
The palace maid served the dishes, each of them on a small plate, and put the dishes on the table.
There is a dish in it with a frog, and the color looks like a sauce marinade, so familiar.
Eat other dishes first, Li Longji ate a few bites, got tired of the taste, picked up the frog to look at it, closed his eyes and took a bite.
Oh, it's delicious, the frog actually tastes good, this texture is soft and tendony; This taste, the sauce is fragrant and sweet.
The four of them watched Li Longji clamp and bite one after another.
In less than a hundred breaths, chewing slowly according to Li Yijiao's method, a frog entered his stomach and spit out his bones.
"Fill me with another one." Zhang said with an aftertaste of the command.
"I want it too." Wei Zhigu felt that this was the most suitable for him to eat.
The other two people, plus Li Longji, added another one.
After eating, I still want it.
"There is a kind of meaning of eating in Li Yi Zhuangzi's canteen." Yao Chong gave an analysis.
Lu Huaishen echoed: "Yes, there is a special taste and texture. Whether it's for drinking or eating, it's all suitable. ”
Li Longji picked up a silk handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and asked Gao Lishi: "Where did the frog come from?" ”
"Go back to Your Majesty, buy it outside the palace, turn back to the intestine Hashma for nine times, and pay one for one hundred dollars." Colliers gives the answer.
"Okay, what a nine-turn back intestine, how can Hashma sound like a toad? 100 yuan a piece, but it is not expensive. Who sold it? ”
Li Longji thinks that 100 yuan to buy a toad, okay.
There is money in the palace, and the dividends of spiced tea eggs are sold for 500 yuan for an egg, and a toad is 100 yuan, which is acceptable.
Gao Lishi smiled: "The people from Zhangjia Village sold it in the East Market early this morning, saying that it was a recipe given by Li Dongzhu, and the minister also asked about the sale." ”
Colliers took and repeated what Muramasa shouted and boasted about.
Yao Chong gritted his teeth when he heard this and said: "It's Li Yi, that's right, can Mura Zheng come up with 'taste Kyushu in all directions, a drop of mellow fragrance is hard to find', 'Turn two instruments into mandarin ducks, and the street smells strange and fragrant'?" I don't believe it. ”
"The minister also thought about it, don't miss it when you pass by, there are many choices in this life...... What passers-by lose is the past, as it was yesterday. ”
Lu Huaishen agrees, is this selling?
Zhang said and laughed twice: "Selling a toad, it's like yesterday's clouds, and last night's galaxy, does it have anything to do with toads?" ”
"Yes, yes." Wei Zhigu couldn't help but laugh: "Isn't the toad also basking in the sun during the day, and croaking with the stars and moon at night, hahahaha......"
He couldn't hold back after all.
"Later, tell the outside of the palace that you are not allowed to buy it, why should I spend hundreds of dollars to eat a toad?"
Li Longji laughed a few times with the minister, and suddenly reacted.
A hundred dollars a piece? The palace is also poor.
"Your Majesty, the cost must be extremely low." Yao Chong said firmly.
"The minister seconded the proposal." Zhang said that he was sure together.
The other two nodded, that's right, Li Yi's things have little capital, but they are expensive.
Gao Lishi interjected with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister knows the price of toads outside, one hundred and ten wen, alive." ”
"Really?" Li Longji really doesn't know the price of ordinary things.
"Don't dare to tell a lie." Colliers guarantees.
He also said: "Only ordinary people eat frogs, only frog legs, and whole frogs, and the minister has never heard of it." ”
"Brother Yi's cooking is different." Li Longji said very casually.
The people in the entire hall had their own reactions, what they heard was 'Brother Yi', and His Majesty was used to it.
As soon as he talked about Li Yi, he called his younger brother.
Li Longji looked at everyone's expressions and reacted, but smiled: "Clip another frog, spend money to buy it, it's a pity not to eat it." Colliers. ”
"Your Majesty." Colliers bowed.
"Go get the soy sauce again, remember to ask Brother Yi to make some nine-turn what's to bring back." Li Longji is ready to save money, one hundred dollars, black! It's so dark!
"Yes!" Colliers smiled, and he was ready to ask for a few more.
That Li Yi Li proprietor is rich, but the things that sell at a very high price are not worth much, and he is a warning and a warning to the people in the palace.
Don't talk about it, and don't ask for trouble.
"Your Majesty, the minister eats this frog, and his body and mind are comfortable." Yao Chong also wanted it, but he was reluctant to buy it.
"The ministers seconded the proposal." As if they had been discussed, the other three spoke at the same time.
"Eat a toad and second, Gaolis, ask for more, every time you go, until the season is over." Li Longji agreed.
***
The matter of eating toads in Xingqing Hall has nothing to do with the outside.
After the group in Zhangjiacun finished shopping, they just drank water and were not willing to spend any money.
drove the ox cart back, and some people wanted to buy the soup of the red braised frogs, but Zhang Xiao bit his mouth and refused to sell it.
This soup can still be made when I go back.
If others use this soup to make toads, won't the village make less money?
Before the first three moments, four ox carts slowly returned to the shore of the water.
The convoy went up to the bridge, and without waiting for the opposite bank, people from the village had already rushed over to the bridgehead on the opposite bank.
Three people.
Before getting closer, first look at the things in the car, a lot of medium cloth, and copper coins in the basket.
"Sold?" Someone asked.
"Sold it, a hundred dollars, eighty thousand dollars." Zhang Xiao nodded vigorously at the visitor, said the number, and wanted to cry.
Today is just a trial sale, 80,000 yuan in hand, and I bought four cauldrons, and I will sell it again tomorrow, the more money.
Zhangjia Village can finally live a good life.
Even if his village is dead, when he sees his ancestors and ancestors, he can tell them that he is not bad.
Two of the three men who met him took one look at what was being pulled on the ox cart and turned and ran away.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village, he shouted in his voice: "The village is back, and it was sold for 80,000 yuan, and there is a lot of cloth on the car, and there is a new big iron pot......"
