Chapter Ninety-Five: Unappetizing
Su Shi, the creator of Dongpo meat, was a famous lyricist in the Song Dynasty, and his achievements can be described as a master in literature.
At the same time, he has achieved other things as well. However, in addition to being forced to recite his words when he was a child, Jiang Wen is most concerned about this big foodie!
After the officialdom went into hiding, Su Shi began to let himself go and became a gourmet.
"Dongpo meat."
It's a famous delicacy.
Opened the casserole, a burst of white gas came out, at this moment the Dongpo meat in the casserole has a color, the red crisp is burned, and the sauce wrapped in the skin is crystal clear, although there is fat and thin, the edges are bright in color.
The aroma of meat is mixed with the smell of fennel.
This is a dish that Jiang Wen likes, in the past, because he was mixed with officialdom, he was away with the army all the year round, and he didn't have the energy to do many things.
Now that he is a land lord, he also has time to settle down and become a "big glutton." ”
The juice under the pot was still bubbling, although the meat cooked by Su Dongpo was completely out of juice, Jiang Wen felt that it would be more flavorful to leave a little for dipping!
Niu Yi shook his nose, and the two dogs on the side also shook his nose, "What kind of smell is this?" ”
"Big brother is so fragrant!"
Diao cicada wrapped in cloth, the beauty out of the bath is the most tempting, soaking the body in warm water is easy to make people addicted, once soaked in the body do not want to get up, immersed in the water, feel the kind of skin to relax the temperature.
But the reason why Diao Chan got up so quickly was not because she was bored of soaking, but because she smelled a fragrance, and she couldn't help but feel a little hungry.
"Xiaoshu, but Madame is cooking again? Xiaoshu? ”
Diao Chan has fragrant skin and jade skin, long black hair, changed his clothes, and walked out of the door.
The lights were on in the kitchen, and Xiao Shu was leaning on the window, peeking inside.
Diao Chan walked behind Xiao Shu, patted her shoulder coldly, Xiao Shu's body trembled, and when she turned around, she saw Diao Chan pouting and said, "Miss!" ”
"But Madame is cooking?" Diao Chan smiled, his smile was like a bright moon, Haojie was soft, and he was exceptionally icy and jade.
Xiao Shu pouted, and Diao Chan looked inside through the hole in the window screen.
Dongpo meat is a big challenge for many people who can't eat fat, but Dongpo meat can be said to be really fat but not greasy, the fat meat enters the mouth and is compatible with the meat is a different taste, with the sweetness and saltiness contained in the gravy, every bite is mouth-watering.
Jiang Wen picked up the chopsticks and ate a bite of Dongpo meat, Dongpo meat is very soft, the juice is perfectly locked in the meat, and it comes out when people bite it, which makes people enjoy it for a while!
The meat tastes good on the tongue, fragrant and delicious!
Jiang Wen was enjoying the food, but the two people outside the house couldn't stop swallowing their saliva and looked at them dryly, only feeling pitiful.......
"Miss, this dish made by the master seems to be delicious, have you seen it, Miss?"
"No, but this is the first time I've smelled this rich meaty aroma......"
There was still boiling water in the boiling stove, and Jiang Wen took out very ordinary noodles from the side, a few touches of salt, green onions, and put them into a bowl, a bowl of ordinary somen noodles.
"If you're hungry, why don't you come in and eat?" Jiang Wen smiled and looked at the window, Diao Chan immediately turned to the side, Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Master, do I have a share?" ”
Jiang Wen said: "Naturally, I am alone with so many of them, and I can't finish eating them if I want to." ”
Xiao Shu was overjoyed, and directly entered the house, and found the dishes and chopsticks with extremely familiar movements.
Diao Chan willow waist slightly owed, delicate face red, shy head bowed, eyes watery, almost charming, a little embarrassed saluted: "Concubine to see the master." ”
"Since I was hungry, I came in together, and I just cooked a lot." Jiang Wen said softly.
"Thank you, master," Diao Chan thanked and followed behind Jiang Wen.
Xiaoshu took the bowl and chopsticks and quickly handed it to Diao Chan, although Jiang Wen asked her to eat, but she still had the rules of a subordinate, knowing that the master was not available before he arrived.
"Come and have a taste." Jiang Wen picked up a piece of Dongpo meat from the casserole and put it in the Diao Chan bowl, Diao Chan looked at the Dongpo meat with some hesitation, although the fragrance was excellent, but after seeing the appearance, he couldn't help but be a little unable to move the chopsticks.
It looks a little greasy.
But looking at Jiang Wen on the side, Diao Chan knew that he had to eat it no matter what, and as soon as he took his mouth, he just took a small bite of a piece, and his ruddy red lips were charming.
The exquisite taste overflowed on the tip of the tongue, and this excellent taste immediately made Diao Chan's beautiful eyes move, "What kind of meat is this, master?" ”
"Pork."
"Pork?!"
Xiaoshu's chopsticks froze in the air, and suddenly she was a little difficult to swallow.
Diao Chan eats very well, always a small mouth bite bite, reserved and elegant, after eating a piece, he looked at Jiang with hope in his eyes and asked, "Master, I ......"
"You can eat if you want, if the food has no character, it will be delayed."
Diao Chan smiled lightly, stretched out his hand as white as a lotus root, and his eyes wandered in the casserole, as if looking for the most satisfactory target.
Pork is an extremely lowly food with a low price. Xiaoshu can be said to have only eaten pork once when she was a child.
Pork has never been eaten since.
Many of the children of the scholar clan have never seen pork.
But Xiaoshu knew that if the young lady was not satisfied with the food, she would not move the chopsticks after eating a piece.
And now, although the young lady is reserved, the greed in her heart is not hidden.
The air knew the tempting aroma, and it constantly aroused Xiaoshu's greed, but after all, she couldn't bear it, so she stretched out her chopsticks and put a piece in her bowl.
Xiaoshu also tried to bite it, and then it was subdued......
Diao Chan made a choice for a long time, picked up a piece of Dongpo meat from the bowl, his white arms trembled slightly, and there was some shame in his eyes, "The concubine feeds the master......"
Jiang Wen was slightly stunned, the beauty was shy, and she only felt soft in her heart.
opened his mouth and ate the food fed by Diao Chan, his eyes were facing each other, and his heart was full of feelings.
Xiaoshu squatted down, quietly twisted a few more pieces, walked to the side of the pot and scooped a bowl of noodles, and walked directly outside the house.
At this moment, it is already dark, it is dark outside the house, it can be said that he can't see his five fingers, leaning on the kitchen, with the faint light, Xiaoshu eats happily alone.
Niu Yi and Ergouzi looked at the house, the two stood on the side of the road, Niu Yi's jealousy of this county order became more and more intense, the fragrant food, and such a woman in the city!
This made him more and more unable to wait.
"Have you been able to contact Qi Xiao?" Niu Yi said with a gloomy face.
"It's connected, as long as the eldest brother gives an order, Qi Xiao will definitely help the eldest brother get rid of this county order!"
Niu Yi nodded, Qi Xiao is a chivalrous man, in the past, he killed the bullies in the village and fled everywhere, and after coming to Fuchun County, he was accepted by his father and son.
Tao Er was a little depressed today, sullen on the side, and her delicate and delicate little face was full of unhappiness.
Jiang Wen was comforting with a smile on the side.
"Childe invited my sister, why didn't you invite me?"
"I came back late, and it happened that Diao Chan and Xiaoshu bumped into each other while cooking, and you were already asleep at that time, so I'm sorry to disturb you."
Tao Er turned to face Jiang Wen, her eyes flashed, and she said softly: "Then I want my son to reward me!" ”
Jiang Wen gently approached Tao'er, gently embraced the delicate little waist, and her sweet face and delicate nose kept approaching.
I only felt that the fragrant tongue was in the mouth, and after a long time, Tao Er's face was flushed, and she exhaled like an orchid, leaning on Jiang Wen, and she was ashamed to speak.
"Master, Li Er is back!"
Jiang Wen scratched Tao'er's delicate nose, "It should be that we should be told to go to Fuchun and clean up." ”
Li Er took a carriage at the door, followed by a carriage next to him, "Master, the mansion has been half cleaned up yesterday, but it can already accommodate people, and Yang Wu has already brought the field books from all over the country according to the master's instructions." ”
"Good work." Jiang Wen said, "Go and call Mrs. Mink and Mrs. Tao out." ”
"Yes!"
Xiangyang, Zhou Yufu, a handsome man with a handsome appearance, an elegant temperament, a smile on his face, and a handsome beautiful man with a soft color on his face, stroked the piano with Le Yao.
When the sound of the piano fell, Le Yao spoke: "Zhou Lang, there is uneasiness in your piano sound today. ”
"Today is the day when the Son of Heaven goes out of the city to go hunting in the Perfume River, and he should worry about his ministers." Zhou Yu said with a light smile.
Le Yao nodded, "Since Zhou Lang doesn't want to say it, Le Yao doesn't dare to ask more." ”
"Toot!"
The horn of the grand ceremony sounded, and a group of soldiers dressed in Zhirui, and 100,000 troops stood neatly outside the city gate.
On the city gate, Liu Xie and a group of old ministers of the Han family were invited by Sun Ce to the military parade.
Sun Ce stood on top of the city gate, looking at the phalanx of 100,000 troops, his heart was particularly arrogant, wearing armor, and pulling out the sword on his body, "Long live the Son of Heaven!" ”
"Long live the Son of Heaven!!"
"Long live the Son of Heaven!!"
Every shout made Liu Xie's heart tremble, and the faces of the old ministers on the side were even more gloomy, Sun Ce laughed and said, "Your Majesty, how do you view my soldiers and horses?" ”
Liu Xie said with a smile: "The morale is majestic, the military discipline is strict, and the soldiers and horses of my Han can be like this, because the prime minister has a good governance." ”
Dong Cheng saluted Sun Ce and said, "Prime Minister, Your Majesty rewards everything for simplicity, and the Prime Minister is also because of the filial piety of the Marquis of Guanwu...... It's not appropriate to go with an army of 100,000......"
"General Wei doesn't have to worry, today I just want Your Majesty to see and understand, our army, the Tiger Warrior of Yuan Shu, also let Your Majesty know that the reward is not limited to one minister!"
"Soldiers, right?"
"Don't dare to compete with Cheng Xiang!"
"Don't dare to compete with Cheng Xiang!"
"Hahaha, I really deserve to be a good soldier!"
Gan Ning smiled on the side, looking at Liu Xie and the old ministers beside him from time to time, the scalp of the prince's suit was slightly numb, and the general's eyes were really a little terrifying.
"Your Majesty's military parade has ended, I don't know if I can go to the banquet?"
Liu Xie nodded, "Then please Aiqing first, General Dong will lead the way for me, and I will come later!" ”
Sun Ce squinted his eyes slightly and smiled, saluted and said, "Then please forgive your majesty first!" ”
Sun Ce turned around and walked down the city gate, and Gan Ning Zhou Tai also followed behind.
The perfume river is a beautiful area, with waterfalls and flowing springs, green pines and cypresses, swaying shades, dense green grass, and strange stones in the forest.
The waterfall splashed and fell on the stones, leaving a loud rumbling sound. The colorful Ruixia is like a rainbow bridge, not to mention that the temperature is comfortable, which makes people feel refreshed and happy, it is this beautiful scene, which is enough to linger.
The beasts and birds drank by the river, and when they were alarmed by the army, they immediately fled to other places.
A group of people came to a flat land, because there were not many officials following Jane, and many of them were just soldiers and horses.
This place has a panoramic view of the mountains and the sheer waterfall, making it a rare viewpoint.
The soldiers weeded out the nearby weeds, quickly cleared up a clearing, and then puffed up the sackcloth
"Prime Minister, not long ago, there were villagers who saw a Rui beast here, this Rui beast is said to have a lion head, antlers, tiger eyes, elk body, dragon scales, ox tail, and has the appearance of a legendary unicorn!"
"It is rumored that the unicorn appeared before the birth of the Confucian sage, and there are many songs in the market, the unicorn steps on the world, and it is difficult to eliminate it in the world, such as flattering Confucianism today, does it not also highlight the blessing of the unicorn?"
Sun Ce said with a smile: "The unicorn is a rui beast, going to a hundred disasters to cure a hundred diseases, if I can meet it, it will be considered a blessing." ”
Dong Cheng said leisurely: "Qilin cures all diseases, and I came here this time to hope that Your Majesty can meet Qilin, so that you can also cure the root of the disease for Your Majesty."
"I don't know what kind of illness the Son of Heaven has, and I need General Dong to be so thoughtful."
"If there are many thieves today, the Son of Heaven can't let go of his daily worries in recent days, I don't know if the Qilin can help Your Majesty calm down the troubled times, so that Your Majesty's illness will be eliminated."
Sun Ce thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty is the son of the Son of Heaven, even without the protection of the Qilin, the minister believes that even if there is no Qilin, Your Majesty can calm this troubled world with the help of the ministers!" ”
Dong Cheng nodded appreciatively and said: "What the prime minister said is very true, Your Majesty is the Ninety-Five, naturally the appearance of the dragon, and although the appearance of the unicorn this time is not to favor Your Majesty, but there are also people who are favored, I see that there are countless capable people in the court, but you can really help the Han family for Your Majesty, only the Prime Minister is you!" ”
Dong Cheng secretly glanced at the soldiers behind him, who were patrolling, but suddenly hidden in the mountains and forests on the side.
And Gan Ning, who was enjoying the cool not far away, stretched his waist slightly, and saw the soldiers who disappeared into the dense forest, but he didn't care, just continued to eat the leg of mutton.
Zhou Tai stayed not far from Sun Ce, cautiously guarding his surroundings.
Dong Cheng saluted Sun Ce with a glass of wine, and Sun Ce squinted his eyes after drinking and said: "Since it was the Son of Heaven who set up this celebration banquet but did not appear for a long time, I don't know what the Son of Heaven is preparing for?" ”
"The Son of Heaven is the Ninety-Five Supreme, so naturally he doesn't have to let the prime minister know, does the prime minister still drink?" Dong Cheng leaned forward slightly and sat upright, and the sword placed next to him was also quietly held in his hand.
"It's come to such a time, it's just that drinking alcohol and these grilled foods are a bit unpalatable, and I always feel that something is missing," Sun Ce said with a smile: "I wonder if the general has something to bring to his appetite?" ”
The surrounding grass began to make a rustling sound, and I saw people dressed in black appear here, and there were more and more figures, and soon the place was surrounded.
"Who are you, this is the Prime Minister of Han, don't step back quickly!" The soldiers and horses who came with Sun Ce signaled to these unkind people around him.
"Prime Minister, I don't know if this banquet is to your liking now?"
