After listening to Zhang Huan's report, Kou Zhun said that he found the head of the cow village on duty in front of the palace; Niu Zhuang said that he was on duty all day today, but he had never seen his father-in-law walk out of the palace gate or walk out on Monday!

Kou Zhun frowned, glared, and said thoughtfully: "So Gonggong Zhou didn't go to the palace?" Where did he go? Could it be that the emperor is not in the palace? ”

Kou Zhun said and swept his gaze around: "Xia Guan usually doesn't pay attention to the emperor's food, housing, clothing and transportation, he is not in the palace, but there is a villa outside the palace......"

"Kou Xiangye is right!" Wanyun Niangniang suddenly interrupted Kou Zhun's words: "Emperor Zhenzong has a villa called Yishu Garden, I can't figure him out in that place!" ”

As soon as Chun Yu Wanyun said this, Zheng Shuang, Qin Shihuang, Wei Yan, and Kou Zhun were all dumbfounded.

Zheng Shuang couldn't hold it back, and asked, "Mrs. Shi, don't you sell Guanzi, okay?" Yishu Garden is the name of this place is very fresh, you say that it is the villa of Emperor Zhenzong; But it's not the palace! ”

Chun Yu Wanyun stood up from the wide-sided bench, straightened the wide-sleeved Xuanyi covering his body, walked a few steps on the ground, and said confidently: "The reason why Yishu Garden is called a garden and not a palace is that it is a place secretly built by Zhao Heng when he hid Liu E; Emperor Taizong didn't know it when he was alive, but the old man knew that the place was in an alley near the Suojube Gate; The building is no less than the Imperial Palace in Ouchi! ”

Kou Zhun Maosai heard Chun Yu Wanyun say this, and danced with his hands and laughed: "Wanyun Niangniang's words make the lower officials enlightened!" ”

As soon as Kou Zhun's words came out, he was interrupted by Chun Yu Wanyun waving his hand, Chun Yu Wanyun walked a few steps forward to Kou Zhun and smiled, and said, "Kou Xiangye, isn't Wanyun Niangniang dead?" Xiangye also personally presided over a grand memorial ceremony for her, where is Wanyun Niangniang? ”

Kou Zhun ate and ate in his mouth, "Oh oh......", Chun Yu Wanyun raised his eyebrows: "Now it is Chun Yu Wanyun who is standing in front of Xiang Ye, you better call Chun Yu Wanyun or Mrs. Xue; If you feel embarrassed, shouting medicine beetle master is too successful! ”

Kou Zhun made a big red face, and said with a smile: "The official made a mistake, and I ask Mrs. Wanyun to forgive me!" ”

After a pause, he said excitedly: "As soon as Madame said this, Xia Guan remembered that Sichuan girl named Liu E!" ”

Qin Shi Huang laughed loudly, looked at Kou Zhun and said, "Liu E, the Sichuan girl, Lao Qin, also knows it!" In the more than 2,000 years that Lao Qin was trapped in the Qin Tomb, he had heard of the legend of Liu E; It seems that there is a play called "Tanuki for the Prince" about Liu E's cruelty to other concubines, but Lao Qin thinks that Liu E's woman is not bad; Zheng Shuang, you said! ”

Qin Shi Huang kicked the ball into Zheng Shuang's arms, Zheng Shuang smiled and said, "Liu E's story can be known!" There is also the drama of "Tanuki for the Prince", Xiao Ke has also seen it, saying that Liu E pretended to be pregnant and exchanged the prince born to Concubine Li Chen with a tanuki; The story of instigating the eunuch Guo Huai to burn Concubine Li Chen to death in the cold palace! ”

"It's a bit too bizarre! The playmaker should play the board! Chun Yu Wanyun said angrily: "Liu E is a kind-hearted woman, she will not do such a thing that loses her conscience!" ”

Zheng Shuang was dumbfounded, and turned his eyes in the sockets a few times, and the second monk was puzzled.

Zheng Shuang didn't understand how Liu E, a murderous woman recorded in the history books, could be said to be a kind-hearted woman by the medicine beetle; The person who also wrote the opera "Tanuki for the Prince" should play the board......

Zheng Shuang was ignorant and thoughtful, and his eyes suddenly lit up and said in his heart: "Xiao Ke is familiar with the history of the entire Song Dynasty from later generations, but now it is the first year of Jingde of Song Zhenzong (1004 AD); Song Renzong Zhao Zhen was born 6 years later, and of course the medicine beetle master didn't know about the tanuki changing the prince! ”

Zheng Shuang said in his heart, smiled and bowed to Chun Yu Wanyun and said: "Forgive Xiaoke for his words, but what is Liu E's real situation; I hope the teacher will be relieved! ”

Chun Yu Wanyun saw Zheng Shuang say this, and pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! Although Wanyun Niangniang is dead, there are some secrets that cannot be brought to the grave; The old body will tell you about Zhao Heng and Liu E! ”

Zheng Shuang hurriedly walked up to Chun Yu Wanyun and said, "Mrs. Shi, you should sit down and talk!" ”

Chun Yu Wanyun returned to the wide bench with the support of Zheng Shuang and sat down to speak, when the servant of the dining hall brought the Guanzhong gourd chicken and rested it on the table.

As soon as Kou Zhun saw the gourd chicken, he immediately became excited, and pointed at it with chopsticks and said, "Mrs. Yao, you will first clip a piece of chicken to pad your stomach!" ”

Stretched his neck and throat and said: "People say that Kou Laoxi is picking Laoxi, but today's gourd chicken is a famous dish in Guanzhong!" ”

He cleared his throat and raised his voice: "Li Bai has a poem praising gourd chicken: the liquor is newly ripe in the mountains, and the yellow chicken pecks at the autumn fattening." Call the children to cook chickens and drink liquor, and the children laugh and lead people's clothes. ”

Kou Zhun said and danced with his hands: "Li Taibai can drink and eat, and this poem is written about the famous gourd chicken in Guanzhong." According to legend, this dish began in the Tang Dynasty, and it was an auspicious dish for the Tang Dynasty court to entertain dignitaries and nobles, and it has been circulated among the people for a long time; After the continuous improvement of the chef, it is perfect, and it is also known as the first taste of Chang'an! ”

Sister-in-law Hong saw Kou Zhun chattering, and interjected: "Xiangye can only talk and not do it, but the husband of the slave family is a master of making gourd chickens!" ”

Zheng Shuang said happily: "Sister Leng, then let your husband introduce the gourd chicken method; Xiao Ke can follow and learn how to do it! ”

"What's so hard about this!" Sister-in-law Hong waved her hand to Hong Huang disdainfully and said, "Brother Hong, you can talk about the ingredients and cooking of the gourd chicken, and let Brother Zheng and them listen!" ”

Hong Huang saw that the Hun family asked him to tell the production method of gourd chicken, and he was flattered to tell it.

The main ingredient of gourd chicken is net tender hens. The ingredients are: cinnamon, Sichuan pepper, cloves, ginger, star anise, ginger, cumin, white cardamom, rock sugar, green onions, pepper salt, cooking wine, refined salt, old soup, vegetable oil, fatty meat, etc.

The production process is first to remove the claws, tips of the mouth, and internal organs of the chicken, and wash them with water; Put it into boiling water with the fatty meat, boil it until it is broken, take it into a basin, add cinnamon, pepper, star anise and other seasonings, add it to the old soup, steam it for about an hour, take it out and soak it until it tastes.

The second is that the oil is burned nine percent hot, and the whole chicken is pushed into the oil pan and fried until it is golden brown and crispy, and when it is taken out and put into a large chop plate; Comes with a salt-and-pepper dish.

The intuition of the gourd chicken is that the body shape is complete and the color is golden; Chopsticks touch the bones, mellow and fragrant; The skin is crispy and the meat is rotten, and the aftertaste is long.

The key process of making gourd chicken is to select fine materials, and the fat and tender hens of the year should be selected; Then, when steaming, the condiments should be accurate and steamed at the same time. Third, when frying, you should master the heat and the oil temperature should be high; Be fast.

After Hong Huang finished telling the production method of gourd chicken, Qin Shi Huang laughed and said: "Brother Hong is worthy of being a master of cooking, you can make a meal of gourd chicken another day and let Lao Qin taste it!" ”

"Okay, Big Brother Shadow!" Hong Huang heard Kou Zhun call Qin Shi Huang the shadow brother, and he called it like this: "From now on, the villain is your chef, when you want to taste the villain, when will it be made for you!" ”

Stretching his neck, he said, "But now let's taste the craftsmanship of the chef of Xiangye's Mansion first!" ”

Hong Huang said, picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth to taste it, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Kou Zhun glanced at Hong Huang and asked, "Why doesn't Brother Hong speak, could it be that the gourd chicken made by Lao Kou's chef is not your appetite!" ”

"No, no, no!" Hong Huang walked and said, "Well done! It's a lot better than the villain! ”

Kou Zhun knew that Hong Huang didn't tell the truth and didn't entangle with him, so he picked up the old wine and took a sip and said, "Let's start eating now, everyone, don't be polite!" ”

Kou Zhun said, took another sip of wine, and then chanted a poem:

The cold grass smoke is wide, and the water waves are suffocating. The spring tide and rain are light and dusty. Saddle hair. Refers to the green willows, and it is lightly climbed. When will it be?

A glass of wine and a song. Sigh life, the most difficult to get together and easy to part. And don't be intoxicated and listen to Yang Guan Che. Remembering the deceased, thousands of miles to this total bright moon.

Zheng Shuang saw that Kou Zhun was moved, and the word Weishui was in the recitation of the poem; Knowing that he saw what happened just now between the township party from Guanzhong and the Xiangfu, he had mixed feelings, so he said: "Xiangye, your poetry is completely comparable to Li Taibai!" But don't interrupt the medicine beetle now, let her tell Liu E's story......"
