Chapter 18 Empathy

As soon as Dugu's grandmother heard Li Jiancheng say that it was delicious, she knew that he should have tasted it in the kitchen just now, and she was distressed and annoyed, so she immediately instructed Mei Xiang:

"Go and call me the cook! I don't know the rules! ”

"Wait!" Li Jiancheng immediately stopped Mei Xiang, who had already turned around and walked out.

Mei Xiang hesitated for a moment, stopped, turned to look at Li Jiancheng, and said, "What else does Da Langjun command?" ”

Li Jiancheng replied with a smile: "You don't have to go first, I have a few words to talk to my grandmother." ”

The old man is old and the ghost is slippery, and the lonely grandmother heard the inside story from these words, and she had already guessed that the cook should have persuaded her, but Li Jiancheng insisted on doing so.

So, she waved her hand and motioned for Mei Xiang to step aside; turned to look at Li Jiancheng, frowned, and said, "Say it." ”

Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "Grandmother, it's not about the cook's business...... and he roughly said what happened in the kitchen just now: "I just had a sudden idea after eating a bite of woad." ”

Grandmother Dugu snorted coldly and said, "I guessed that it was your idea, they haven't instigated your courage yet." He turned his head to look at Mei Xiang and said, "Pour this dish." ”

Li Jiancheng immediately raised his hand to protect the plate of mixed cabbage and said, "Grandmother, don't do it, it's hard to make it." ”

"The eldest son of the dignified Guogong Mansion eats raw vegetables, and it is not a system, and it will make people laugh when it is passed on!" Dugu's grandmother looked at Li Jiancheng's appearance of protecting food, and helplessly persuaded her.

If a person looks at someone pleasing to the eye, even if the other person has done a heinous bad deed, he can help find a reason to do the evil thing.

Dugu's grandmother is like this, she really likes Li Jiancheng, so his act of protecting food, in her opinion, is to cherish food.

Li Jiancheng's IQ is close to a demon, and after thinking about it, he guessed the reason why Dugu's grandmother's anger subsided.

He was even more confident in his heart, so he retorted: "Aren't all the phoenix fetus, cloves drenched, and five-life plates all raw?!" That's still the dish of the palace banquet. ”

These dishes that sound extremely high-style and make people foggy, to put it bluntly, that's what it is.

In fact, the phoenix fetus is taken from the hen's belly and eaten with fish white (pancreas) or fish sauce (mutton and fish mashed), and its taste is really '鱻xiān' out of the sky.

Just thinking about it, Li Jiancheng felt his stomach churning and couldn't bear to look at it directly.

Clove drenching is sashimi or raw meat slices drizzled with clove oil; This dish is very popular, as evidenced by the popular idiom.

However, a thousand years later, the sashimi went to Japan, and the barbecue went to Korea, and only the population of Greater China remained.

The last five-life plate is made of lamb, pork, beef, bear, and venison, which are cut into thin strips and then put together into flowers. (Later, it slowly developed into frying or sautéing before cutting.) ）

Because cattle are the main labor force of cultivated land, its lofty status has been determined since the Western Zhou Dynasty, and at that time there was a rule that the princes did not kill cattle without reason, so if they wanted to eat this dish, they had to be given by the emperor.

As soon as Li Jiancheng said this, Dugu's grandmother was speechless for a while, and after a few breaths, she came up with a weak sentence: "That can be the same!" ”

Seeing that Dugu's grandmother was like this, Li Jiancheng knew that the other party's mind had moved, and immediately continued: "What's different, why can meat be eaten raw, but not vegetables!" I see my great-grandfather's codex says that he ate raw wild vegetables and leaves. ”

He lifted Li Hu out, no matter how unwilling Dugu's grandmother was, she couldn't say much; After all, it was her father-in-law, and she was not good at commenting.

However, Dugu's grandmother said: "That's not the war at that time, and there was no way to do it." Dugu's grandmother also ate raw vegetables when she was a child, and she was curious to know what raw vegetables tasted like.

Later, when he got older, he slowly began to live in the way of aristocrats, in fact, he was mainly afraid that others would be said - you see, that turtle, raw food!

Because of this experience, Dugu's grandmother knew that eating lettuce was not a big problem, after Li Jiancheng reasoned and laid out evidence; sighed and said, "Forget it, you can eat it if you want, but you can only eat it at my place!" Turning his head to look at Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang, he said sternly:

"Go and tell the cook that the matter of Da Lang's raw food is not allowed to be spread, and you are the same, if I hear any rumors, don't blame me for not thinking about the love of the master and servant." I am afraid that it will spread out and cause a bad impact on Li Jiancheng.

Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang glanced at each other, and after both promises, Mei Xiang turned around and went out to speak.

Li Jiancheng didn't care, listening to the crickets, can't he still plant crops? ! However, he also understands the truth of making money in all mouths, and before he becomes a powerful person, he still has to be cautious.

Not to mention anything else, the matter of raw food and vegetables is exchanged for a generation of famous ministers, Confucianism or Ming Jun, which is a beautiful talk; Not only will no one say that you are a turtle, but you will also feel that this person is particularly close to the people and down-to-earth.

After Li Jiancheng flashed his thoughts, he said with a smile: "I know that grandmother, you are the most open-minded and open-minded." ”

Grandmother Dugu shook her head helplessly and smiled: "You......"

Li Jiancheng didn't wait for Dugu's grandmother to finish speaking, so he quickly began to fill a bowl of lotus leaf soup and put it in front of her old man, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, eat quickly, otherwise it will be cold in a while." ”

Dugu Grandmother Tiger made a face and said, "It's not your cabbage, if you didn't say so much, you would have eaten it a long time ago." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded again and again, and said hatefully: "Yes, yes, it's all the fault of this cabbage mix, I'll eat it in my stomach and let it disappear from this world." ”

Old children, little children, Dugu's grandmother was coaxed by Li Jiancheng as a child, spitted, and scolded with a smile: "Nonsense." Then he said, "All right, let's eat." ”

Since Grandmother Dugu always compares herself with the two queen sisters who have passed away, she naturally follows the rules of eating without saying a word and sleeping without saying a word when eating.

The meal was eaten peacefully, except for the occasional sound of a spoon touching a plate.

Li Jiancheng grew up with his aunt, and his aunt and grandmother are old-fashioned people, and they usually eat the same.

Only when everyone gathers or celebrates, will they say a few words during the banquet, but there has never been a habit of talking with food in the mouth, and even if they talk during the banquet, they must swallow the food in their mouths before speaking.

The same is true of Dugu's grandmother's habits.

Therefore, such a quiet meal made Li Jiancheng feel more cordial.

After eating, Li Jiancheng saw that Dugu's grandmother was tired, so he watched Lanxiang wait for her old man to lie down.

It's not that he thinks he's noble and doesn't personally serve Dugu's grandmother, but as soon as he gets started, Lan Xiang's face doesn't look good, this is robbing other people's jobs.

had to fold the quilt for Dugu's grandmother after she lay down; Then, turn around and leave.

In his previous life, when he was sleeping, his aunt and grandmother always helped him fold the quilt; But when he grew up and knew how to help his aunt and grandmother fold the quilt, her old man was no longer there.

The regret that the son wants to raise but does not wait for his relatives has always haunted his heart.

That's it, his act of folding the quilt for Dugu's grandmother just now can be regarded as a kind of empathy. (To be continued)
