Chapter 525: Five Tripods and Eats

"Come, little son, this first cake for you." Wu Yuanqing wrapped the freshly baked first egg scramble in paper and beckoned to Princess Jinyang's little son.

The little son cheered, shook his little head, and ran over with his palace skirt.

"Brother-in-law is so nice." The little boy said politely after taking the cake, and then carefully took a bite of the cake, but only the edge was bitten. Anyone who has ever eaten an egg scramble knows that the cake itself has no taste, mainly the sauce that is brushed.

The little boy only bit the crunchy edge in the first bite and didn't eat the sauce, so the little brow wrinkled unconsciously, how could it be so light and tasteless, thinking about it like this, I saw that my brother-in-law was still looking at me, so I praised my little head very happily: "Well, it's delicious."

As he spoke, he took another big bite to show that he was telling the truth, and then ,,,,,

"Hmm, it's delicious."

This bite is considered to be a bite of the sauce, the sweet and sour taste of the sweet noodle sauce conquered the taste of the little girl at once, and the eyebrows are not boastful, and the little hamster is like a little hamster holding the cake in both hands and eating it quickly in small bites.

"Hmph, eccentric."

The little princess Gaoyang, who is not much older than Jinyang, is unhappy.

The other princesses are similar, but who makes the little son the youngest among them now, the two princesses Changshan and Xincheng, who are younger than the little son, can't move independently, and a lot of people follow the palace maids and servants wherever they go, and the two or three-year-old babies cry at every turn, and they naturally won't bring two little burdens wherever they go, so Jinyang is now the youngest, and naturally the most favored and taken care of.

And the little girl is well-behaved and lovely, not very old but very sensible, in ancient times, in this era of paying attention to hugging grandchildren and not hugging children, even men don't even hug their sons, to hug is to hug grandchildren, naturally there are intergenerational relatives, and there are etiquette there.

Unfilial piety has three no queens, and the son is the queen, in this era when you don't even hold your son, it's even more impossible to hold your daughter.

The same is true for Li Shimin, otherwise he would not be so strict with his sons, although he is very fond of his daughters, he has never seen anyone hug him, but this case has been broken here in Princess Jinyang.

People say that the daughter is the little padded jacket of the father's lover in the past life, and the emperor has too many daughters, and only Princess Jinyang may meet this, so Li Shimin sees how Princess Jinyang looks and how he likes it, and he has a sense of wanting to dot on her and pamper her from the bottom of his heart to this daughter.

So in the palace, you often see Li Shimin holding the little princess of Jinyang and amusing the scene, listening to the little princess crying her father and the emperor with milk, Li Shimin always smiles heartily, even if he is bumped by Wei Zheng in front, he will quickly change his mood when he goes back to Jinyang.

The little princess is now spoiled by her father and queen mother, and let by her sisters and sisters, this situation will inevitably be worse after the eldest princess Changle marries Wu Yuanqing.

After Wu Yuanqing gave the first cake to the little princess of Jinyang, he did not favor one over the other, and according to his age, he gave the second to Gao Yang, the third to Chengyang, and the fourth ,,,,,,,

"Brother-in-law, are you going to make pancakes?" The little princess of Jinyang ate half of the cake, and her little stomach was already full, so she ran to her brother-in-law who had moved the fire and changed the pot to make other things, and then handed the cake forward.

The little princess still remembered that she had just asked her brother-in-law, and the brother-in-law told her that this kind of pot with high in the middle and low on all sides was made into a kind of cake called pancakes.

"yes, the little boy is so smart." Wu Yuanqing took the half-pulled cake with tooth marks and took a big bite and said.

"Oh," the little boy nodded, and then asked, "Have you ever eaten it?"

The little guy didn't know if he had eaten it himself, and he still had to ask her brother-in-law, Wu Yuanqing shook his head with a smile: "The little guy hasn't eaten it, this kind of cake was invented by his brother-in-law, and this is the first time I've made it."

"Oh, well, I see." The little son nodded his little head and ran back to report the situation to his sisters.

Pancakes are indeed a traditional staple food in the north, and they are available in various places, but the methods are different, like the pancake fruit in Tianjin, many people say that it is a kind of egg scramble, but it is not.

Pancakes are pancakes, first of all, its surface is paste, and it cannot be rolled out on the cutting board, so its pot is higher in the middle than all around, in order to use a spoon to scoop the batter and pour it in the middle, the batter will naturally flow around, forming a cake, and the egg scone is a hard dough, which should be rolled into the shape of a cake, which is a kind of pancake.

The word pancake appeared very early, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty Wang Jia's "Collected Memories": "Jiangdong is commonly known as the twentieth day of the first lunar month for the day to wear the sun, with red silk to tie pancakes on the roof, said to make up for the leakage of the sky."

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Southern Liang Zongyi's "Jing Chu Years Chronicles": "The northerners eclipse pancakes are made in the court, and they are incense, and they are unknown.

From these two records, it can be seen that the word pancake appeared at least in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Basically, from this point, we can refute the evidence that many people have no iron pot or metal pot in Datang.

Because if it is really like some people have researched that Datang does not use metal and cooks in crockpots, then there can be no pancakes or pancakes.

The crockpot is a thin-mouthed and deep-bottomed pot, and this kind of cookware is completely unsuitable for making cakes, and some people may say that the person may use a clay pot, which is similar to a washbasin.

But you can actually think about it, in ancient times, ordinary people didn't have much food at home, they couldn't eat a dry meal a day, and they basically couldn't use cooking utensils as big as basins.

And this kind of thing can be regarded as a large item in the home of ordinary people, not to mention the ancient times, in the later years of the Anti-Japanese War, the people still put the crockpot on their backs when they were running away from sweeping.

Because of what is the cost of buying clay pots, ordinary people are reluctant to spend money to buy one, but they only use it occasionally.

Since it is not a clay pot, it must be a metal pot, that is, an iron pot.

In fact, metal pots have existed for a long time, and during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, bronze tripods were used to cook things.

One of the passages in the "Historical Records: The Biography of the Marquis of Pingjin" says that the Empress Liwei and the King of Fayan set the country's affairs, and Gai Yan was meritorious. The ministers were afraid of it, and bribed a lot of money. People may say, "It's too horizontal." The master father said: "And the husband is not born to eat five tripods, and death is five tripods to cook ears." I am far away in the twilight, so I am atrocious. ”

What does it mean, that is, when someone says that the lord and father are too rampant with you, the lord and father Yan replied to him: The eldest husband is born and lives in the world, and if he cannot eat the five tripods, then when he dies, he should also be punished by the five tripods cooking."
