075 Emperor Long Street as a buddy

Zhao Ji has too many hobbies, it can be said that "it is difficult to write", and some of them are unimaginable to ordinary people. For example, he loves to do business, loves to be a shopkeeper, and loves to be a buddy.

Zhao Ji loved to go out of the palace when he was the king of Duan, and he especially liked to visit the market, thinking that buying and selling things was a particularly fun thing. When you become an emperor, this addiction is even greater, and there are also conditions, stipulating that the market will be opened on the first and fifteenth days of each month. Of course, he couldn't really run out of the palace to do business, so he set up a market in the "big interior".

Outside the Donghua Gate of Ouchi, the market is the most prosperous. There is a street is the market, when the new flowers and fruits, fish, shrimp, turtle crabs, quails, rabbits, preserved meat, gold and jade treasures and other clothes are sold. Zhao Ji went out to shop in micro-clothes when he had nothing to do, and sometimes bought some "local products".

Zhao Ji ordered the construction of a long street for trading on a vacant land in Donghua Gate, with various shops. There are those who sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings, those who sell silk and satin cloth, and those who sell cattle, sheep and pork. The eunuchs in the capital palace who sell things, and the ministers who buy things.

At first, the market was opened on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, and it was lively, but later, after the persuasion of the minister, it was changed to once a month on the fifteenth day.

Just over thirteen, Zhao Ji was ready to move, this time he wanted to sell pork, he was not a shopkeeper, and he was a partner. On the evening of the fourteenth, let someone go out of the palace to select a batch of high-quality pigs for later use, and they could be killed in the morning of the fifteenth, which was too early to be fresh.

On the fifteenth day, he came to work at the butcher's shop. He asked Concubine Wu De to disguise herself as a man as a shopkeeper. Hu Sanniang had never done this before, and she thought it was fun, so she dressed up early.

Zhao Ji gave the façade an atmospheric name - Longmen pork meat.

Two pairs of meat cases, several butcher knives. On the roof behind the meat case hung a row of iron hooks, and a dozen and a half slices of pork were hung. Lean meat is like fire, fat meat is like snow, red and white are distinct. It's still steaming, and it looks like that.

Hu Sanniang pretended to be the boss, and Zhao Ji and other five eunuchs pretended to be buddies. Stand in a row and wait for the market to open. As soon as the façade opened, more than a dozen guests poured in, all of whom were dignitaries in the court. Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Yu, Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng, Zhu Mian and others were all present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to do?" Zhao Ji held a knife in his hand and greeted him with a smile.

"Xiao Er, I want ten catties of fine meat, cut it into dumplings, and go back to make steamed buns to eat." Cai Jing was the first to step forward and said with a smile.

"Okay!" Zhao Ji's eyes were in his hands, and he cut off a piece of lean meat at once, and weighed it on the scale, no more, no less, exactly ten catties. While working, he chatted with each other, and said with a smile: "I heard that the Cai family's steamed buns are particularly famous, and the process has to be completed dozens of times, is there such a thing?" ”

Without waiting for Cai Jing to reply, Tong Guan smiled and said: "Cai's crab roe buns, that's really authentic!" I ate it once, and I will never forget it! Once, I bought a little lady from the Cai family's steamed bun group and sent it to the back kitchen to ask her to wrap the Cai family's crab roe buns for me to eat. An hour passed, and I thought that the crab roe buns should have been made a long time ago. I called someone to urge, and the little lady brought it herself. When I saw it, I was furious and said, 'Is this a bun?' This is shredded ginger. The little lady said with an aggrieved face: "Master, I am in the Cai family's bun group, and I am a ginger shredder." If you want to eat the Cai family's crab roe buns, you have to buy the 30 chefs of the Cai family. ”

Tong Guan's words made everyone laugh. I saw Cai Jing's face beaming with pride. Listening to Hu Sanniang's body was dumbfounded.

"Good, good, good! Confucius said: 'You don't get tired of eating, and you don't get tired of being fine. 'You have to be particular about eating and drinking!' Zhao Ji praised while cutting the meat.

"Shopkeeper, the meat on the case is gone." Zhao Ji screamed.

Hu Sanniang went over, stretched out her hand to lift half a fan of pork, and gently carried it over. Tong Guan and others found out that today's shopkeeper was dressed as Concubine Wu De.

Although Tong Guan was born as a eunuch, he was brave and powerful. He was purified when he was an adult, with dark eyebrows and a heavy beard. Therefore, many historians suspect that he was a fake eunuch.

Tong Guan saw that Hu Sanniang lifted half a fan of pork without much effort, so he wanted to show off in front of the emperor, and said: "Shopkeeper, don't flash your waist, I'll help." ”

Walking over, he lifted half a fan of pork from the iron hook with one hand, walked over and gently placed it on the case. Cai Jing and others praised Tong Guan's divine power.

Hu Sanniang was young and vigorous, so she wanted to try it with Tong Guan, and said with a smile: "This guest officer, there are a few pigs to kill behind the store, but they are too wild to catch, can you help?" ”

"Yes! Do yourself a favor! Zhao Ji finished cutting the meat for Cai Jing and begged as well.

"Good! Look at mine. Tong Guan said and walked to the back.

"I'm one too." Gao Yu felt that his martial arts were outstanding, and he also wanted to perform in front of the emperor. Immediately behind Tong Guan, there was no shadow.

Not long after, Tong Guan and Gao Yu each grabbed a pig and came to the case, screaming constantly. Zhao Ji grabbed a sharp knife and stabbed the pig to death with two knives. Other eunuchs carried the pig into a pot of boiling water and shed its hair.

Tong Guan and Gao Yu looked at Hu Sanniang and smiled. That means, we can catch pigs, can you?

Hu Sanniang turned around and went to the back, and after a while, she came in with a pig in one hand, her face did not change and her heart did not beat. Zhao Ji was overjoyed, and stabbed two pigs to death with two knives.

Tong Guan and Gao Yu exchanged glances with each other, and they both felt that this girl was not an ordinary girl, so don't mess with her lightly.

Zhao Ji sold pork for most of the day, and he was very excited. When it was time to close the stall, I not only didn't make a penny, but also lost 100 taels of silver, and said to myself: "It's interesting to lose money and make money!" "I left an elbow and a piece of high-quality pork belly, cooked it myself, and made two dishes, one is Dongpo elbow and the other is Dongpo meat.

The two little eunuchs came to the Wude Palace with Dongpo elbows and Dongpo meat, and the emperor followed behind, and they had dinner here tonight.

Zhao Ji personally sandwiched Dongpo elbow and Dongpo meat for Sanniang.

Sanniang opened her mouth to eat, melted in her mouth, and said in a loud voice: "Delicious, delicious!" ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "Today, the boss lady has the greatest credit, and I have to treat you well." Sanniang, next time, how about we sell beef? ”

"Don't sell meat, it tastes too good. Today, it made me smell of pigs. - I can't wash it even if I wash it. ”

"That's you won't wash. After finishing the meal later, I will accompany you to take a mandarin duck bath. After washing, make sure that there is no pig smell at all, and all you smell is jasmine. ”

Pink curtains hang down from all sides, an oversized wooden basin is placed in the middle, and an S-bend separates the wooden basin into the shape of a "yin and yang fish". The "yang fish" side is sprinkled with white tea-like things; The power of "Yin Fish" is sprinkled with something like black tea. After a while, white tea turns into white flowers, and black tea turns into black flowers.

"What kind of West is sown here? Is it white tea vs. black tea? Sanniang asked.

"The white is the dry of the white jasmine petals 'yin', and the black is the dry of the black jasmine petals 'yin'. Zhao Ji said while gesturing.

"All the jasmine flowers I've ever seen are white, how can there be black jasmine?"

"It's rare and weird. This black jasmine was cultivated by your husband, me. Awesome, right!? ”

"It's powerful enough. - What do you not have? ”

"I won't give birth to a baby, there is no I won't!"

Zhao Ji laughed after speaking, and Sanniang also laughed. Suddenly, he picked her up and threw her into a large wooden basin......
