Volume 8 Chapter 5 Crazy Hot Pot

It's a little new at first, but after a long time, except for patience, exhaustion, and boredom, I really don't feel anything anymore. It's only been two days, and just out of the Chang'an realm, not only Wei Yan and Xie Jiu, but even a few little ghosts, even if they run to the carriage of the Wei Mansion, they just eat and drink, and after the mixing, they run back to the royal carriage to sleep.

Xie Jiu was very prescient, there were a lot of books in his luggage, and when he was resting, he asked someone to pick them up from the carriage loaded with luggage, and prepared to beat time during the journey. Wei Yan flipped through it casually, all of them were medical books and the like, which made Wei Yan admire Xie Jiu's studious spirit very much. In other words, reading professional books is the most boring and requires the most perseverance.

Out of the boundary of Chang'an, whether it is food or rest, it is not as good as Chang'an, fortunately, there are no fleas or the like, otherwise that day, let alone how to live. When he rested in a small county town at night, Wei Yan began to miss the Qing costume dramas he watched in modern times, in other words, in the TV series, the emperor went out on patrol, no matter which small county town he went to, it was all delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there was nothing to eat if he wanted, and the dishes were exquisite and numerous, which was like the ones they were eating now, the taste was not right, and the dishes were also simple, and it was said that they were the most and best things that could be found locally.

His Majesty Li Er is not picky, and it is not easy to say much about Wei Yan, who is a subordinate of others, it is better to be a low-key person with his tail between his legs, but it should not be illegal to eat some pickles that he brought. "Come, ma'am, sour radish, spicy cabbage, after a long ride, eat a little sour, spicy. It was most comfortable. ”

The big cart of luggage in Weifu, in addition to the necessary luggage, is all pickles, cured meats and other local things, and even some of them are seasonings, after preparing the pickles to eat, they will be pickled and supplemented along the way, in short. Wei Yan is determined to eat until the end of the tour and go home.

Along the way, the two little ghosts, who were the most mentally minded, were crawling around in the carriage, torturing Wei Yan to the point that he was about to call his mother. As a last resort, I had to let my sister-in-law Liu and them take them over to play every day, or Wei Yan went out to ride a horse. Sitting in front of him with the two children in his arms, wrapped tightly and carrying them around for a while, consuming the energy of the two little ghosts.

Xie Jiu couldn't bear the long-distance carriage the most, although it was not strong enough to vomit, but her spirit was not very good along the way, and she didn't have much appetite, and the snacks prepared for her basically went into the stomachs of a few little ghosts, but she didn't eat much, just kept drinking water all the way. Take some medicinal soup to calm the nerves and help you sleep, read a book when you wake up, sleep when you are sleepy, and look sick, Wei Yan is very distressed when she looks at it.

When he was on the road, Wei Yan went to borrow the kitchen utensils from the kitchen, boiled a bowl of light white porridge for Xie Jiu, and then made a small bowl of cured meat. I cut a small bowl of pickled radish, put a bowl of fermented bean curd, and ordered the kitchen to serve some fresh vegetables and eat lightly. =

"Master!"

As soon as the table was set up, Gao Yang came. He was also carrying a food box in his hand. Gao Yang also knows his master's weakness, the staple food in the kitchen is mutton, Xie Jiu doesn't eat it, Gao Yang is afraid that she will not feel comfortable eating, so he deliberately went to the kitchen, and in the name of Queen Changsun, let the kitchen boil lotus seed soup. In addition to giving the eldest grandson the queen's land. Secretly left some for Xie Jiu, and Gao Yang specially sent them.

Gao Yang's filial piety. Let Xie Jiu smile again and again, touch her little face, and say with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, after sitting in the car for such a long time, you can't eat sweets now, have you eaten them?" It's better to stay and drink the white porridge made by your master, you know your master's craftsmanship. ”

Gao Yang's eyes looked at the pickles and fermented bean curd on the table, stretched out his hand and gave the food box to the attendants who came with him, rewarded them with food, jumped to the table by himself, picked up a bowl of white porridge, and began to eat it with a snort. Looking at her non-svenile eating appearance at all, not to mention, I feel that the white porridge is a lot fragrant, and my appetite is more.

Gao Yang drank two big wrist white porridge with a big appetite, ate a round belly, and sighed while holding on to the table: "This is the most comfortable meal on the road, or the master's craftsmanship is good." ”

Wei Yan also drank three bowls of teas, and was almost as virtuous as Gao Yang, nodding in agreement: "That's right, it's still my own taste that is more appetizing, I drop that god, the difference in taste is really a big problem." ”

Gao Yang's eyes rolled, rubbed to Wei Yan's side, and praised without hesitation: "Master's craftsmanship is getting better and better, even cooking a bowl of white porridge is so delicious, as the master said, the simpler the dish, the more extraordinary the craftsmanship, the master is really amazing." ”

Wei Yan glanced at her lazily, yawned and said, "Okay, okay, as long as you can find an excuse to sneak over during the meal, we will wait for you for a stick of incense every time we eat." ”

Gao Yang's eyes were so happy that they all laughed like crescent moons, only to see that the white teeth were not visible, and he said busily: "A word is a certainty!" The master is not allowed to regret it, for the sake of the mouth along the way, Min'er will definitely be able to come out. ”

Wei Yan shook his head with a smile and sighed. Not to mention, Princess Gaoyang, this little girl, actually really made an excuse, every day when it was time to eat, she would come to this table in Weifu, and watch Wei Yan use the materials that can be provided by the local area to make some simple home-cooked dishes, plus those pickles and other snacks brought by Weifu, which are indeed more in line with the taste than the meals in the reception place.

"I said that Sister Seventeen didn't see anyone when it was meal time, it turned out that she came to Lord Wei to eat delicious food, Sister Seventeen, you have no righteousness, and if you have delicious food, you are not called pheasant slaves and sons!"

"Lord Wei, my son wants to eat pine flowers

Gao Yang's "disappearance" for several days in a row made Li Zhi pay attention, saw the opportunity, and secretly followed Gao Yang with his son, and sure enough, he figured out her whereabouts more directly, with his fingers in his mouth, a pair of big watery eyes, Baba looked at the dishes on the table of Weifu, and looked at Wei Yan pitifully.

Such a cute offset, where can Wei Yan resist it! While despising Li Zhi's cunning, knowing that his son-in-law would definitely not refuse them to eat together, he also brought his son-in-law here, making it clear that he wanted to eat and drink with his son's light. Strongly despise the clever and cunning Zhengtai little ghost.

So, the dining team of the Wei Mansion. Grow again. Wei Yan had to worry about whether he had enough pickles to eat, so when he arrived at the post station, he called someone to buy the materials and continue to make them. Pickles and the like, it takes time to be sour, and Wei Yan estimated that after eating what he carried, it happened that the newly pickled sour could be eaten.

Thanks to the imperial court for the promotion. After two years, Chinese cabbage has spread out of Chang'an, and it has begun to be widely planted in various places, and the officials who received it all the way have fresh Chinese cabbage. On the tenth day of the road, when he arrived at the post station, Wei Yan secretly found someone to lead the way out for a walk. I happened to meet someone selling wild vegetables, and I bought it back without even paying the price, and by the way, I bought some lean pork and two big fat fish, and got some cabbage, tofu and the like, Wei Yan announced that he would eat hot pot today.

I asked for a large table in the kitchen, put up the stove, soup basin, and bone broth left over from the kitchen, and began to boil the bottom of the pot. Saying. Wei Yan actually brought all the special hot pot basins, which is simply pointing!

In modern times, ordinary people want to eat hot pot, unlike hot pot restaurants, they generally make their own at home, and boil the bottom of the pot by themselves according to their own tastes, especially in rural areas. I remember when it became popular to eat hot pot. What he eats at home is the bottom of the pot made by his ingenious old lady herself, Wei Yan is deeply inherited, claiming to have the ancestral secret recipe of the Wei family in his hand, and often takes it out to fool Xie Jiu, which tastes good. made Xie Jiu suspicious.

Girls like to eat light, there is a clear soup pot made of chicken soup, Wei Yan likes spicy food, Li Zhidi's taste is also with him, two big and one small men occupy the spicy pot. Put the food in, look at it, and smell the fragrant smell. While drooling and waiting to eat. On the side, his face was full of joy, and Wei Yan was very proud. However, we have implemented the principle of "going up if there are conditions, and if there are no conditions, we must also go up if we create conditions".

"Master Wei, are you ripe?" Li Zhi bit his chopsticks and asked Wei Yan. Wei Yan stared at the pot, scooped up a chopstick, and said, "Come back for a while, let's cook for a while, so as not to eat raw and have diarrhea." ”

"Oh. It's so fragrant, it's so hungry! ”

"It's all the same, bear with me."

Wei Yan and Li Zhi muttered on the side, who made these two people have thick eyes, so they put a big pot in it to cook, and look at the clear soup pot on the other lady's side, they have already been eaten, it is really enviable, especially Gao Yang is still proud, from time to time to Xie Jiu clip a chopstick, a chopstick, and his eyes are still scared, which makes people hate itchy, it is too unkind.

"You can start eating, well, spicy is fragrant!" finally cooked, Wei Yan announced that he was eating, and Li Zhi together, raised his sleeves, took the chopsticks and began to fish into the bowl, that guy, that posture, is almost the same as the prisoners who were released after starving for three days in the concentration camp, and the image is gone, fortunately, this group of people is locked in the house and secretly hid to eat, if the small stove is also high-profile to let everyone know, then everyone doesn't have to mix.

"What a bold Wei Ziyue! If you have delicious food, you don't call it me, and you should be guilty of eating it alone! ”

Maybe it was because I was too attentive to grab vegetables and meat, or maybe I was too attentive to the shabu shabu, I didn't hear the sound of the door being pushed open, and there was no footsteps of two adults walking in, and the group of people was still eating very happily, until the people came out, everyone raised their heads, and looked at the people with a dull face---- His Majesty Li Er, the state of the Tang Empire.

The table where the hot pot was eaten was placed next to the wall, Wei Yan and Li Zhi were facing the direction of the door with their backs, Xie Jiu and Gao Yang were diagonally facing the direction of the door, if they didn't pay attention to the door, they really wouldn't know that someone pushed the door in. So, if you eat too intently, the result is that someone comes in and doesn't know, and you are caught stealing food.

first glanced at the other side with his eyes, expressed their condemnation to each other, quickly wiped their mouths, and Wei Yan and the others hurriedly saluted. Empress Changsun smiled and let everyone be exempted, but His Majesty Li Er shook his nose, walked straight to the table, and scolded with a smile: "Wei Ziyue, what crime should you be guilty of?" On the way, I just opened a small stove to eat hot pot, but I didn't dare to call me! I'm going to have you beaten with thirty rods!" ”

Wei Yan smirked and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you sneak out for a walk today, I just happened to meet someone selling fresh wild vegetables, Your Majesty, you don't know, the fresher the wild vegetables, the more you have to eat hot pot, it is tender and fragrant when cooked, not to mention how beautiful!" However, these things are all rough food, Your Majesty is noble, how can he be the same as the ministers. ”

His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Yan with his white eyes, and said, "I can't eat it, why can the pheasant slave, Min'er, and son of the pheasant be able to eat it?" ”

Wei Yan said with a solemn face: "The minister was forced!" His Royal Highness the King of Jin said that if he didn't give them food, he would go to complain to His Majesty, and in desperation, alas, the minister could only bow his head and admit defeat. Besides, His Royal Highness the King of Jin and others are still young, and they have not experienced any hardships since they were young. ”

Li Zhi's face was bitter in the first half of Wei Yan's words, and after listening, he quickly stood with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes pleasing to his eyes, but he quietly gave Wei Yan a thumbs up behind his back---- eating a meal and wild vegetable hot pot can be bittersweet and sweet, and he can really fool him!"

His Majesty Li Er turned a blind eye to the small movements of the two, pulled the eldest grandson queen Dama Jin Dao and sat down, and said to Wei Yan with a straight face: "Ask someone to add two more pairs of dishes and chopsticks!" ”

Wei Yan's jaw almost didn't fall to the ground, and he asked stupidly: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, you two are ......?"

His Majesty Li Er snorted and did not speak. Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "Your Majesty and I have not had a meal either. In recent days, Gao Yang, Pheasant Slave, and Son have run to Ziyue every day, and they don't come back to eat with us. ”

Wei Yan was speechless for a moment, look, the image of the past is so bad, it makes people think of it at once, it is really promising, very promising. Sighing in his heart, Wei Yan said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have eaten the pot, please wait a while, and the ministers will change it for you and Niangniang." ”

His Majesty Li Er didn't care about this, picked up the chopsticks and began to fish in the pot, fished a bowl for himself, not to mention, but also fished a bowl for the eldest grandson queen, while eating, he said: "It's okay, there are no outsiders here, sit down and continue to eat, when I was marching and fighting outside, I also ate a pot of rice and drank a bowl of soup with the soldiers, you can eat, why can't I eat?" ”

Wei Yan was speechless again, but he was a bachelor, nodded towards Xie Jiu's gaze, and waved his hand: "Let's sit down and continue to eat, when we are full, we will be on our way early tomorrow morning, you may not be able to buy fresh wild vegetables on the road, if you miss this village, you won't have this store!" ”

Xie Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, led a group of little ghosts to sit down and eat again, and occasionally whispered to Empress Changsun which thing was more delicious, and what effect it had on eating it to nourish beauty or nourish yin and beauty. His Majesty Li Er took two pairs of chopsticks by himself, put one chopstick in the spicy pot from time to time, and went to the clear soup pot to fish it out, and he was very busy.

In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, in a small county town post in a small ravine, he ate a pot of hot pot with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Empire.

Thinking that it would be remembered like this, Wei Yan couldn't help but shout in his heart----Sister Guanyin, Brother Rulai, this world is crazy!" Sell cakes!

Regarding the carriage, it is not a bug, but it has been carefully calculated, with the status of the Wei Mansion, the Wei Yan has a knighthood, and the two-horse carriage is qualified to enjoy. A two-horse-drawn carriage should be able to tow a carriage of about three meters and a half, and it should be eligible. The next chapter will describe the carriage in detail.
