088 Cai Jing's family banquet presents Jin Qiong

Cai Jing invited Zhao Ji to his home for a banquet, and the emperor agreed without thinking about it.

In ancient times, the emperor did not go to the courtiers' houses lightly. One is dangerous, and the other is trouble. Why does Zhao Ji often go to Cai Jing's house? One has a good relationship, they are a pair of monarchs and ministers on the surface, and they are as good as buddies. Second, they are sons and daughters. Zhao Ji's daughter, Zhao Fujin, was the wife of Cai Jing's son, Cai Ying. Third, Cai Jing is indeed delicious and can eat, and the meals at home are no worse than those made by the palace kitchen.

Zhao Ji was invited to Cai Jing's small banquet hall. It is said that there are more than 100 square meters in the small, not only to eat, but also to watch song and dance performances. Only Tong Guan was accompanied, and even Gao Yu was not qualified.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the best crab roe bun in Caifu came up. That's not exquisite, it's elegant.

That crab roe is not the "yellow" of ordinary crabs. It was a crab roe called Huating (part of today's Shanghai) crab - the grade equivalent to today's Shanghai hairy crab.

Some people misunderstand the crab roe and say that it is the eggs of crabs. In fact, the composition of crab roe and crab eggs is similar, but there is an essential difference between the two. It is true that the crab roe contains egg cells that have not been excreted from the body, but there are other substances such as the organs, glands, and tissue fluids of the crab, which are not just crab eggs. When the crab roe becomes larger and bright orange, it means that the gonads of the female crab have matured, and at this time, it is the crab eggs that are produced and excreted from the body, and the egg cells left in the gonads in the body are still part of the crab roe.

To explain it with today's science: crab roe is rich in protein, phospholipids and other nutrients, which is rich in nutrients, but at the same time contains high levels of oil and cholesterol. It's better for fat people not to eat it, or eat less.

The main ingredient of Caifu's crab roe buns is, of course, crab roe, but the meat is not pork. During the Song Dynasty, rich and noble families rarely ate pork. In general, beef should not be eaten. In "Water Margin", small and medium-sized restaurants cut cooked beef at every turn, which is. Cattle in the Song Dynasty were the main labor force, and they were not allowed to be killed. To eat beef, you have to be noble. In the Ming Dynasty, there was more beef, and civilians could eat it.

Another main ingredient in Caifu's crab roe buns is mutton. It's not an ordinary sheep, it's a small sheep about 3 to 5 months old. At this time, the lamb is particularly tender and melts in the mouth. Although the mutton is delicious, there is too much of a problem, and it is full of flavor. Generally speaking, Han Chinese people are not likely to enjoy that taste. Therefore, it is especially important to remove the smell.

Ginger is a very good condiment for eating Caifu crab roe buns. In the steamed bun group, there are chefs who specialize in cutting ginger shreds, "Yishui" over 16 years old, and beauties under 20 years old, who also have to be virgins. The ginger shreds are cut very carefully, three words: fine, straight, white. Thin as hair, straight as a needle, white as snow.

The hot crab roe buns came up.

Zhao Ji put a bun on a white jade plate, took a small bite, scooped a small spoonful of condiments with a golden spoon, poured it into the small mouth of the bun, and stopped for a while before he began to taste the delicious bun.

Tong Guan ate it for the first time, and as soon as he smelled it, he couldn't wait to grab one, and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth.

"Lady Tong, how does it taste?" Cai Jing asked with a smile.

"Incense—hot!" Tong Guan said with a grin.

Zhao and Cai laughed.

The emperor and Lord Cai each only ate two crab roe buns and put them in the "chopsticks", both of them are gourmets, and they think that delicious food should not be greedy. Tong Guan is a person who practices martial arts, the amount of food is huge, and the crab roe buns are delicious, he ate more than 20 in one go, and more.

Cai Jing told him that he wanted to eat around this next year. Because the crab roe is the most delicious only at this time.

After eating, I began to enjoy the singing and dancing.

The curtain was opened, a group of beautiful women held the moon, and the silver ring appeared. They danced the "Dance of Neon Clothes and Feathers", and Yinhuan sang while dancing: "The sky is deep and the night is not young, and the blue cloud fairy song dances the neon clothes." A jade flute went into the air, and the moon was full and the Lishan Palace was leaking. ”

Zhao Ji's eyes straightened, and his gaze followed the figure of Yinhuan. I thought to myself: This girl is different, her hair is black, her eyes are blue, and she is not exactly the same as Hu Ren, she is obviously a mixed-race child.

After the dance of "Dance of Neon Clothes and Feathers", Zhao Ji took the lead in applauding and asked, "What else will the girl do?" ”

Silverring smiled and said, "I can also sing." ”

"Then sing a song!"

Yinhuan opened his voice and sang-

The peach is dying, scorching its glory.

The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room.

The peach is dying, and there is a fact.

The son is home, and his family room is appropriate.

The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming.

The son is home, and it is suitable for his family.

The peach tree is full of buds,

The flowers bloom brilliantly like a red glow.

The girl is about to get married,

Husband and wife are in harmony.

The peach tree is full of buds,

The fruit is full of falling trees.

The girl is about to get married,

Husband and wife are in harmony.

The peach tree is full of buds,

The peach leaves are lush and dense like hemp.

The girl is about to get married,

Husband and wife are in harmony.

"What's your name? What a good singing! Zhao Ji asked.

"Back to the master, my name is Yinhuan. - Didn't sing well! Silver Ring said very naturally. Yinhuan didn't know that the one sitting in the middle was the emperor, and he only knew that he was a "big official".

Zhao Ji wanted to laugh but held back, and asked again: "You said you can't sing well, then, who else sings better than you?" ”

"My sister Jin Liang sings much better than me!" As soon as Yinhuan's words fell, the voice of heaven came from behind the curtain—

Will Zhong Zixi, no more than me, no fold my tree.

How dare you love it? Fear of my parents.

Zhong can also be pregnant, and the words of parents can also be feared.

Will be Zhongzixi, no more than my wall, no fold my mulberry.

How dare you love it? Fear my brothers.

Zhong can also be nourished, and the words of the brothers can also be feared.

Will be Zhongzixi, no more than my garden, no fold my tree sandalwood.

How dare you love it? Fear of many words.

Zhong can also be nostalgic, and people can also be afraid of many words.

My little second brother, listen to me—

Don't climb over your neighbor's wall,

Don't break my tree.

It's not a pity for the tree,

It's because I'm afraid that my parents will gossip.

Though you are missed,

But the words of the parents,

I can't help but ponder.

My little second brother, listen to me—

Don't climb over the walls of my house,

Don't break my mulberry tree.

It's not a pity for the tree,

It's because I'm afraid that my brother will gossip.

Though you are missed,

But my brother's words,

I can't help but ponder.

My little second brother, listen to me—

Don't climb over the walls of my garden,

Don't break my sandalwood tree.

It's not a pity for the tree,

It's because I'm afraid that others will gossip.

Though you are missed,

But other people's words,

I can't help but ponder.

The playful and crisp singing voice made Zhao Ji dance with his hands, happy ears, anxious eyes, and itchy heart, and he couldn't wait to go over and open the curtain to see what Jin Liang looked like.

Jin Liang came out, still holding the pipa and half-covering his face, nodded to the three, smiled, and said softly: "It's ugly!" ”

Zhao Ji's eyes widened, she looked five points similar to her sister, but she had golden hair and black eyes—chestnut to be exact, as bright as cat's eyes. The complexion is very white, as if it has just been washed with milk......

Yinhuan walked over and stood side by side with his sister, and the two saluted again, and sang in unison—

Guan Guan Sui dove, in the river island; My Fair Lady, Gentleman......

Zhao Ji pursed his lips and swallowed his saliva......
