Chapter 5 It's Yours
Tang Qi was speechless now.
He seriously suspected that this guy who played Wei Qing had a bad brain.
"Isn't it, brother, don't you know each other in vinegar and chili?"
Tang Qi looked at Wei Qing with the same eyes as if he was mentally retarded.
Chop the garlic, cut the chili pepper into small pieces, put it in a bowl together, add old vinegar and salt, stir it, it is a sour and hot and delicious cold dish, and the people of the whole country basically know it.
But after Wei Qing heard this, he said more and more dazedly: "I know vinegar, but what is this chili pepper?" ”
Tang Qi was just about to speak, but suddenly remembered that chili peppers seemed to have been introduced to the Central Plains in the Ming Dynasty, and Wei Qing didn't know chili peppers, which was quite in line with the personality.
Thinking of this, Tang Qi said patiently: "This green is chili, and the white is minced garlic, you should know this, right?" ”
Wei Qing shook his head honestly and said, "I haven't heard of it!" ”
"Damn!"
Tang Qi rolled his eyes and said, "You're a little too much, the garlic was brought back by Zhang Qian from the Western Regions, haven't you heard of it?" ”
Wei Qing said with some surprise: "I didn't expect you, a foreigner, to know about Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, it's really strange!" Zhang Qian did bring some things back from the Western Regions, but there was no garlic! ”
In history, Zhang Qian made two missions to the Western Regions.
The garlic was brought back by Zhang Qian during his second mission.
According to the time calculation, the people of the Han Dynasty at this time really did not know what garlic was.
It's a pity that Tang Qi didn't learn history well, so he still slapped the table and said: "You don't talk nonsense, the garlic was definitely brought back by Zhang Qian, but you haven't eaten it, Lao Liu, you should know about garlic, right?" ”
Liu Che was directly stunned.
After a few seconds, Liu Che looked at Tang Qi and said, "Old Liu...... Are you calling me? ”
"That's right!"
Tang Qi said as a matter of course: "Aren't you playing Liu Che?" It's okay for me to call you Lao Liu, right? ”
Liu Che couldn't help laughing and said: "Your little brother is also interesting, the civil and military officials are trembling when they see me, and they don't even dare to speak loudly, you are quite relaxed!" Okay, Lao Liu, Lao Liu, I will forgive you the crime of disrespect!
However, I have seen all the things that Zhang Qian brought back from his mission to the Western Regions, and there is indeed no garlic in them, don't you remember it? ”
The two of them said so conclusively that Tang Qi was a little suspicious of himself.
"Well, it doesn't matter who brought the garlic back, anyway, this dish is definitely to your liking, you can try it!"
Tang Qi looked at Wei Qing with earnest eyes.
As a chef, it's natural to want guests to taste their own dishes.
Wei Qing hesitated for a moment, and directly scooped a spoonful of chili pepper with a spoon and put it in his mouth.
Two seconds later, Wei Qing's eyes widened fiercely, and he opened his mouth and gasped a few times.
"It's hot, your tongue is hot!"
Because the spicy taste has not yet appeared in the Han Dynasty, the so-called Wei Qing cannot describe this feeling, and can only describe the taste experience.
Tang Qi immediately said: "Resist, swallow!" ”
Wei Qing swallowed subconsciously, then gasped, tears bursting out.
For people who eat chili peppers for the first time, it is indeed a little difficult to adapt.
Wei Zifu felt sorry for his younger brother, and hurriedly poured a bowl of water for Wei Qing.
Then, Wei Zifu looked at Tang Qi with some disgust and said, "Little sir, are you deliberately trying to trick him because Brother Qing offended you just now?" Brother Qing didn't mean to target you......"
Tang Qi interrupted: "You think too much, I haven't been careful to that point, this vinegar-soaked chili pepper has a somewhat unique taste, but I think Lao Wei should like it!" ”
Wei Zifu frowned and said, "Brother Qing's tongue is burned, how can he like it?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Qing suddenly shouted: "Cool, really cool, this dish is really unique, it's strong enough, I like it!" ”
As he spoke, Wei Qing scooped another spoonful of chili pepper and poured it into his mouth.
Next, Wei Qing still gasped, but there was a painful and happy look on his face.
Wei Zifu looked at Wei Qing with some astonishment, suspecting that his younger brother's brain had burned out.
"Brother Qing, are you okay?"
Wei Zifu asked Wei Qing very worriedly.
Wei Qing shook his head and said, "It's okay, this dish is very good, sister, you and Your Majesty should also have some of it!" ”
After speaking, Wei Qingte thoughtfully scooped two spoonfuls of vinegar-soaked chili peppers and put them on Liu Che and Wei Zifu's plates.
Wei Zifu and Liu Che glanced at each other and tasted the letter suspiciously.
Then, Wei Zifu's snot and tears came out, and he was choked with spicy enough.
Liu Che didn't have any overreactions, but he just nodded and said: "This dish is really good, it has the sour taste of vinegar, and there is a pungent taste, the taste is very unique, and I feel a lot lighter!" ”
After a day of drifting on the sea, Liu Che actually had a bit of a cold.
At this moment, I was excited by chili peppers, and I sweated a little, and my body was naturally a lot lighter.
Tang Qi smiled: "It seems that you both are heavy tastes, since this is the case, this dish is yours!" ”
Liu Che suddenly squinted and smiled: "This is very good, when I return to Chang'an, please ask Mr. Tang to send me some of this chili pepper, I will have a good reward!" ”
Tang Qi didn't bother to compare with Liu Che anymore, and ate by himself.
……
At this moment, at the port of Ye County, Huiji County, there are thousands of soldiers in armor stationed here.
In the center of the camp, when the prime minister Sun Hong shouted angrily at several strong men wearing generals' armor: "It's been a day and a night, and you haven't found Your Majesty's whereabouts yet, are you all eating dry food?" ”
Several generals looked at each other, and the last general with white hair and beard spoke: "Prime Minister Qiqi, we have all tried our best to find it, but the sea is vast, and it is too difficult to find Your Majesty in a short time!" ”
"Bang!"
Gongsun Hong slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "I don't want excuses, as long as the result is the result, continue to look for me, and don't come back if you can't find it!" ”
Several generals hurriedly walked out of the camp as if they were amnesty.
Although Gongsun Hong did not leave any reputation in history, as the longest-reigning prime minister during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Hong was still very powerful in the eyes of ordinary civil and military generals.
After driving away a few generals, Gongsun Hong looked at a man in white with a wine jug in the corner of the tent.
This man is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance.
"Dongfang Shuo!"
Gongsun Hong said in a deep voice to the man: "You are proficient in divination, haven't you calculated the location of Your Majesty until now?" ”
Dongfang Shuo took a sip of wine and said, "I have already calculated the nine trigrams, but in the dark, there seems to be something that blinds the heavens, making it difficult for me to calculate the location of His Majesty.
However, I can be sure that Your Majesty should not be in any danger now, and even in the near future, there will be an adventure, and with this adventure, I will change the fortunes of my Han country! ”
