Chapter 15: Uncle Strange Little Lori
So he said, "I'll tell you a joke too." ”
"Okay," Li Xian and Li Xulun clapped their hands and said.
Li Wei said: "A county order interrogated the prisoner, and the prisoner replied that it was a pig, but the county order was furious, this county is a pig, and you dare to belong to a pig." Prisoner, sir, Xiaomin is really a pig, born in the winter moon. The county magistrate knew that the prisoner was not scolding him, and sighed and said, this county is the birthday of the first month. The prisoner was much more well-behaved this time, and replied loudly, That's right, the county ordered you to be a pig's head, and I am a pig in the water! ”
This joke is much funnier than the one just now.
Several people laughed together and bent over.
Although Xiao Lori was disdainful of Li Wei, she also laughed, because during the time of changing teeth, she lost a few teeth, and when she smiled, she made a sound of eating.
After laughing, Li Xiancai asked, "Big brother, how are you doing?" ”
"Speaking of laughter, a few days ago, just drenched in some raw rain, actually a serious illness, burned coma for a day and a night, woke up and saw Bi'er crying vigorously, I learned from the pain, so I found some ways from the book, exercise, to see if it can get better. I didn't expect it to work. ”
Said half-truthfully. The Five Fowl Opera has been there for a long time, but there are some differences between the version Li Wei saw in the Chongwen Pavilion and the version he practiced, and he didn't know who was right and who was wrong, so he didn't dare to change it. As for Baduanjin, at this time, there are also some Taoist methods of tuna practice, and many people cherish their brooms for themselves, but they can't see the flaws. This is especially true of boxing. It has long appeared in the running army, but it has not been taken seriously. Even if someone asks the bottom of the matter, he only needs one sentence, and he forgets the loss of soul, and even Wu Zetian is invincible.
While answering perfunctorily, he was thinking about his thoughts.
Liu Renliang's idea is very good, and it is undoubtedly a good strategy to alleviate the conflict between himself and his parents.
But this little Lori is very disgusted with herself, and the elves are eccentric, so it's not easy to coax.
"Congratulations, big brother," Li Xian said.
Whether it has an effect or not, it is not Li Wei's final say, it can be seen that some bloodshot began to appear on Li Wei's face, of course, it is not obvious, it is still pale. But there is another one, speaking so far, I haven't coughed. In fact, comparing people's hearts to their own hearts, while talking, coughing non-stop, spurting thick phlegm, there are a few people who can do not dislike it.
So whether Yang Min is good or these younger brothers are good, Li Wei doesn't have much hatred.
Since he stopped coughing, Li Xulun was not so scared, he said, "Big brother, can you tell another joke." ”
Li Wei was moved, and he said: "A few days ago, I went out of the palace to inspect the people's situation and heard an interesting story, which I told you. ”
"Okay, okay," Li Xulun said, clapping his little hands.
Little Lori still has disdain in her eyes, but she also has a longing.
Li Wei then said "The Biography of Children's Heroes", but made a lot of revisions, some of which still can't be said in the book, but the thirteenth sister is the focus.
The literary and artistic life of the Tang Dynasty was also colorful, and compared with later generations, it was still far behind. There are also novels, such as "The World Speaks New Language" and "Sou Shen Ji", and later the "Taiping Guangji" edited by the Song people, which collects Tang novels and accounts for a large proportion. But the length is very short, and the retribution of gods and monsters is the mainstay.
To be honest, "The Legend of Children's Heroes" is very vulgar, and it is also written by down-and-out children, which is far from "Dream of Red Mansions".
The reason why I chose this novel is that little Lori, the idea is relatively simple. You have to cultivate little Lori's "correct ideological outlook" from an early age.
But what kind of impact will it have on the current Tang Dynasty people?
Just look at the reactions of Li Xian and a few people. Li Xian was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he also forgot that he was the son of Emperor Xian. Li Xian's eyebrows fluttered. Li Dan flowed Harazi. Princess Taiping's elf-eyed eyes kept blinking.
Several eunuchs and palace maids also gathered around, and they didn't blink their eyes when they heard it.
Li Wei was talking, while watching everyone's reactions, mainly to see the reaction of Princess Taiping, the little Lori.
It's not bad, I can understand, I hold my cheeks with my little hands, my mouth is wide open, and I keep blowing in the wind.
Unconsciously, it was getting dark, and Li Wei promised to talk about it after he came back from school tomorrow, but he didn't dare to leave, and in the end Li Wei blasted away.
Bi'er brought a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest soup and asked, "Your Highness, where did you hear this story, why don't the slaves know?" ”
"Where do you say, even if there is such a story in the market, can you stay where you can listen to it for a few hours, and you can't let the official drown in spit?"
"It turned out that you made it up," Bi'er covered her mouth.
"You'd better rest obediently," Li Wei rolled his eyes.
"Yes," Bi'er was still laughing. Since the prince woke up, the whole person has changed. But it's a good phenomenon, the original prince was too rigid, and the current prince has an active brain, and the active is definitely more promising than rigid. Besides, the current prince treats her better.
I don't know if the prince will continue to do so after he recovers from his soul loss. Bi'er was so happy during this time, so happy that she felt that her whole person was floating in the clouds. Save fear of losing.
Scooped up a spoonful of bird's nest soup and put it to your mouth.
Li Zhi's life is diligent and simple, which is not a luxury, but in the royal family, no matter how diligent and simple he is, what he eats, drinks, and wears will not be bad. The bird's nest is good, but now this rock candy is too shoddy.
Rock candy, Li Wei's eyes lit up, and he thought of another good thing to seduce Li Lingyue.
Seeing Jiang Luo and Cuckoo standing in the distance, he shouted, "Jiang Luo, Cuckoo, come here." ”
"Huh," the two palace maids trotted all the way over.
"Prepare a few things for the orphan, and see if there are any skins of livestock, and bones, preferably cartilage, and tendons, cow tendons, and deer tendons, but they must be washed. Then I brought some milk and rock sugar for Gu, and by the way, I brought a few stoves and a few pots. ”
"Prince, what are you going to do?" Bi'er asked in surprise.
"Make something."
"What's that?"
"You'll know if you get it out, but it won't work out."
After a while, several eunuchs moved all the things over.
Li Wei asked the eunuch to go down and said to Jiang Luo, "You close the door." ”
Jiang Luo was also wondering, but knew that this was an opportunity to get close to the prince, so she obeyed the order to close the palace door.
Li Wei was also forced to do this, the status of craftsmen in this era was low, if Li Zhi and Wu Zetian knew that they were "not doing their jobs" and made milk candy, it was estimated that they would immediately send someone over to tie themselves up in Luoyang.
Looking at Jiang Luo and Du Juan, he said sternly: "No one can reveal today's incident, if you reveal the slightest bit of information, Lone will beat you to death." ”
"The slave and maid obey orders," the two palace maids were not angry but happy, which was equivalent to indirectly entering the core of the prince.
But that's it, Li Wei has never done it himself. In fact, I am very helpless in my heart, grandma's, this prince, hangs a great false title, and it can ignite and explode at any time like an explosives bag. is still restrained everywhere, and he does not have much real power in his hands. How did Lao Tzu wear it on this prince!
Thinking wildly in his heart, he ordered Jiang Luo to throw a few beef bones, plus a small piece of pig skin, and a few beef tendons into the iron pot, put water on it, and boil it slowly.
Li Wei said again: "The two of you are on duty in two shifts, when will they be boiled and when will they end." ”
With this ordinary iron pot, it won't be able to boil until tomorrow morning. But this is the most important part, refining gelatin. But you have to look at the value, add firewood and water.
Li Wei finished his order and went to read.
The next morning, after the morning run, the cuckoo came over and said, "Your Highness, come and see, can you succeed?" ”
Li Wei opened the lid of the pot and saw that a small amount of bone and skin tendons had been boiled into a paste, but most of them had not been boiled. But it doesn't matter, he only needs a part of gelatin, in fact, he doesn't know if it will work, he thinks about it and says: "Use a clean sieve to filter out the material, and the remaining paste is set aside." ”
The cuckoo did as he was told.
Li Wei asked them to boil the milk thickened, put rock sugar in another pot, slowly boiled until fragrant, filtered out the impurities in the syrup, estimated the proportion, poured in the boiled milk and gelatin, and stirred it vigorously with a wooden stick until it cooled.
In fact, there is one more thing that is not prepared, granulated sugar base. However, limited by tools and time, it is too late to prepare.
Smelling the fragrance, even Bi'er couldn't bear it, got up, and participated together.
After cooling, it was cut into pieces, and Li Wei tasted it, and it was far from the taste of milk candy in later generations. In fact, there is also a snack in this era, which is produced in Yizhou and Jiangzuo. It is also made with cow's milk, rice flour, sugar cane juice and frying. Li Wei tasted a piece curiously, and everyone in the palace said that it tasted good, and it was tied hard, but Li Wei didn't know where the good was.
But at least it tastes better than this stone honey.
If the granulated sugar is improved, and then the crystal sugar base is smelted, and the process is improved, it may not be able to catch up with the milk sugar of later generations, but it will become one of the best snacks in the Tang Dynasty. However, this requires a lot of manpower and materials. There is no shortage in the East Palace, but Li Wei does not dare to play like this. Unless you quietly send someone to set up a workshop outside Miyagi and make it secretly.
The thought flashed through my mind, and suddenly it flashed like a bolt of lightning. Aren't you feeling the lack of money? Even if the inner palace is rectified, you can't spend it lavishly. Isn't this an opportunity......
But how?
It seems that I really have to go out of the palace for a turn.
Once again, he instructed the two palace maids to keep it secret and go to the Chongwen Hall to study.
When they returned in the afternoon, the four of them sat there, anxiously waiting for him to return.
Li Wei touched his nose and thought, it's done.
Sit down and let the eunuch make tea, and then said, "Du Juan, Jiang Luo, take a few pieces of that milk candy." ”
One person sent two pieces, snow-white milk candy, and no one had ever seen it. Li Xianhu asked suspiciously, "Big brother, what is this?" ”
"This is a snack that Bi'er came up with for Gu, and Gu gave it a name, called Milk Candy, try it." Li Wei hung the credit on Bi'er's head, and the two palace maids also had no luck, although they made it themselves, but the idea was come up with by the prince.
Bi'er lowered her head in embarrassment.
A few people put it in their mouths and tasted it carefully, Li Xian was the most anxious, and immediately praised: "Big brother, it's delicious." ”
"If it's delicious, eat a few more pieces, I prepared some last night, and there are still in the room." After Li Wei finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "Jiang Luo, immediately wrap the milk candy in the room." ”
As he spoke, he stood up and wrote a letter to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, to the effect that his personal maid Bi'er made a new sugar and gave it to his father and mother to try it. It may not work, but if it doesn't work, if Wu Zetian and Li Zhi know, they must say that he is fake filial piety.
Li Lingyue just enjoyed eating, and when she saw that the whole package came out, she immediately shouted: "Big brother, no, leave a few pieces down." ”
As he spoke, he ran over and grabbed a few pieces by himself, and didn't stop until a pair of small hands couldn't hold it.
Li Xulun didn't have her guts, so he had to watch with his eyes blank. Li Wei walked over, buckled a few more pieces, handed them to him, and then ordered someone to send them to Luoyang.
So Li Lingyue listened to the story with a smile while eating milk candy. I was so happy that my teeth ate and the wind was blowing.
Before leaving, he said with a big grin: "Big brother, if you do it in the evening, I will want it tomorrow." ”
The next morning, Li Wei was running in the morning, and Li Lingyue had already blocked him with two palace maids, stretched out a pair of small hands, and said domineeringly: "Sugar." ”
