Chapter 474: Shame on the Prince!
Early the next morning.
Not long after dawn, Li Zexuan was taking three beauties to play Tai Chi together, I have to say that in terms of work and rest, he can now be called a "healthy brother", the reason why he is so "healthy" is that he "enjoys" this wonderful time in the morning!
If he were to take a group of old men to practice Tai Chi in the morning, he would be 100% out of bed.
Before I finished Tai Chi, I heard that Li Tai was coming.
The people below are very sensible, everyone knows that Li Zexuan will have a "reserved program" in the West Courtyard in the morning, and it is inconvenient to let outsiders in, so this time Li Tai originally wanted to break in directly as before, but was stopped by the subordinates at the door.
Li Zexuan is very satisfied with the "understanding" of the people, because it is summer, and when several beauties practice Tai Chi with him in the morning, they wear very soft and close-fitting practice clothes, and there is no underwear in this era, so you can still see some "dots" from the outside, Li Zexuan is reluctant to cheapen this little fat man.
In this regard, Li Zexuan has always been very stingy.
"Qingque, why are you here so early? Have you eaten? ”
Let his daughter-in-law take Xiaohe and Xiaoxi to continue practicing, Li Zexuan went out of the west courtyard alone, and when he saw Li Tai drinking tea in the front hall, he stepped forward and asked while instructing his subordinates to bring breakfast.
"It's almost hour, where is it early?"
Li Tai rolled his eyes, and complained in a weird way: "I just heard from the people in your house that you haven't gotten up yet, so I didn't go in, sir, you are so lazy, but you don't set a good example for the students!" ”
"Get out! It's you kid who got up too early today! I'm afraid I was excited last night when I became a team leader, right? When did you get up every day, did you not have a count in your heart? ”
Li Zexuan scolded angrily.
To be reasonable, he's very diligent now, right? What a proper model worker!
"Fart! I'm worried about the progress of the construction of the college! ”
Li Tai said stiffly.
"Hehe~!"
Li Zexuan said hehe, just at this time, the next person brought breakfast, and his breakfast was also very simple, a plate of pickles, plus a bowl of very thick rice porridge, no steamed buns or buns.
In this era, there was no baking powder, and the steamed buns and buns made were not very delicious, so Li Zexuan only ate steamed porridge in the morning.
Thinking that he is a "big tyrant" who earns hundreds of thousands of dollars in a minute, his breakfast is so shabby, it is estimated that no one will believe it!
"Have you eaten the green finch? If you haven't eaten it, I'll have someone bring you a bowl too? ”
In his own home, Li Zexuan didn't have anything to be polite about, he sat down directly at the dining table to prepare for dinner, and asked Li Tai by the way.
"I've eaten it! Xiao Xuan, hurry up and go to the construction site with me after eating! ”
Li Tai looked at the shabby breakfast, shook his head and urged.
As a foodie, the little fat man must have eaten before coming over in the morning, if Li Zexuan's breakfast has a new trick, he may "give face" to sit down and taste two bites, but now~~, forget it!
Li Zexuan ignored him and began to eat on his own, fast, not fast, not slow, he was not in a hurry.
"Woohoo!"
I have to say that gruel and pickles are really a pair made in heaven, Li Zexuan eats it very hard, and after a while, he sucked a bowl of porridge dry, Li Taihu glanced at him suspiciously, and said in his heart: Isn't it just a bowl of porridge? As for the food, is it so delicious?
Suddenly, the little fat man noticed the black strip dish on the plate, so he asked curiously, "Xiao Xuan, what kind of dish is this?" How is it dark? ”
"This is my homemade pickles, for cooking! Chewy and crunchy! How? Do you want to try it? ”
There is no precise theory about the origin of pickles, and according to relevant evidence, pickles originated at least in bronze ware, but pickles made from turnips were not available at least in this era.
Do not doubt that there was no radish in the Tang Dynasty, China is the country with the most abundant radish germplasm resources in the world, there are about more than 2,000 local varieties, and there are more than 2,700 years of written history. "The Book of Songs, Shao Feng, Gu Feng" has the sentence "picking and picking Fei", it is generally believed that "Fei" is radish, in the Han Dynasty literature, radish ten eight points "reed", "Luofu" and so on.
The pickle method in the form of radish strips is relatively simple, and the main ingredients are nothing more than refined salt and soy sauce, and the refined salt is not available at home, but the price is very expensive, soy sauce~, this thing was also available in the Tang Dynasty.
Soy sauce is derived from soy sauce, and as early as more than 3,000 years ago, there were records of making soy sauce in the Zhou Dynasty of China. The invention of soy sauce brewing by the Han working people in ancient China was purely accidental. The earliest soy sauce used by the emperors in ancient China was made from fresh meat, which is similar to the current fish sauce manufacturing process, because the flavor is excellent and gradually spread to the people.
Anyone who has read a little bit of ancient literature probably knows the story of Fan Zhongyan's "broken teeth and porridge".
Fan Zhongyan's family was poor when he was young, and he lived in the temple and studied hard. Cook a pot of gruel every day, divide it into four pieces after condensation, two in the morning and two in the evening, and serve only chopped pickles.
Not only that, but he also "ate the marrow and knew the taste" and wrote a "Fu Fu", which included "In the pottery urn, it is pickled into green and yellow; In his mouth, he chewed out the sentence "Gong Shang Zhengyu", a plate of pickles only for the poor to eat, let him write it with a good voice, and Tao Taoran enjoyed it.
Such a difficult situation made him develop a style of perseverance, strength, diligence and thrift, and he also deeply realized the hardships of the people's livelihood. In the future, whether it is "high in the temple" or "far away in the rivers and lakes", we will take the world as our own responsibility, worry about the country and the people, eliminate maladministration, and benefit the common people.
"That'...... Then I'll taste, taste! ”
Li Tai was interested, he pursed his lips and hesitated.
Li Zexuan glanced at him, knowing that this was a guy who wanted to save face, and he didn't bother to make any more arguments, so he directly asked people to add a pair of chopsticks.
After a while, the meal came, Li Tai picked up the chopsticks, followed Li Zexuan's example, two pickles and a mouthful of rice, Li Tai suddenly felt that the pickles tasted really good, he smiled:
"Hmm, Xiao Xuan, this pickle is really good! The taste is so good, no wonder you eat so delicious! ”
"Hey, hey! Needless to say? Is it that with this dish, porridge will be more comfortable to eat? ”
Li Zexuan nodded and smiled.
"Haha! Really! Xiao Xuan, I'll bring some pickles from you when I go back? ”
Li Tai was very happy when he discovered a new food.
"Okay! I can give you a little, but you are the dignified King of Wei, you actually eat pickles for dinner, don't you feel ashamed to say it~? ”
Li Zexuan said a very practical question,
