Chapter 42 Boiled Pork Slices
Shang Qingjun spent the morning restless, looking outside the shop from time to time, and when he saw Ziqi riding back, a hanging heart finally fell.
Waiting for the sub-period to tie up the black wind, I was busy looking up and down, left and right.
Ziqi hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't look at it, I'm not hurt at all!" ”
Shang Qingjun rarely reached out and grabbed him, and pulled him into the shop by hand. Ziqi took off his black bronze helmet, and the beads of sweat on his temples had turned into ice. Qingjun hurriedly went over to help him remove the black bronze armor, and packed a package.
Then he took a cotton cloth and carefully wiped his face, "You don't know how worried people are about you, when will you stop fighting and killing, isn't it good to live a peaceful and stable life?" ”
Shang Qingjun saw him staring at himself and smirked, his face was slightly red, "What are you smiling, I'm really afraid, the guest who came to buy bamboo slips just now said that seven people from two families were killed last night in the inner city, and the family's wealth was looted." ”
"Really? Why haven't I heard? Ziqi looked surprised.
Shang Qingjun pursed his lips, "You don't often go to the market, what do you know?" After you left in the morning, you went to many soldiers of the imperial guard camp to search for suspicious people, and I heard that many people were arrested, but I don't know if you have found the murderer. ”
Seeing her appearance, Ziqi was very pitiful, and hugged her in his arms and said, "Tomorrow I will take over the Forbidden Army Guard, ask carefully, and see what is going on!" ”
Shang Qingjun pushed her away, "Don't be careless, let people see me, do you want to see people?" After saying that, she walked to the door, Ziqi thought she was angry, but she closed the door and returned to Ziqi's side, and threw herself into Ziqi's arms.
Shang Qingjun has a slender body, much taller than ordinary women, and his sideburns are itchy on his face. "Business in the shop is not good at all now, and you don't know how to be in a hurry."
Unexpectedly, Shang Qingjun became addicted to doing business, and Ziqi said in her ear: "Who said that I don't care, I am making ink in the house, and when the experiment is completed, I will send it to the shop, this time I will definitely not let other businessmen learn, I am afraid that when the time comes, you will count the money until you are soft!" ”
Shang Qingjun raised his head, "What kind of ink, you always say something I don't understand?" ”
The sub-period briefly told her about the method and use of ink-making.
Shang Qingjun's eyes widened, as clear as a clear spring, he reached out and stroked Ziqi's cheek and asked, "How many strange things are hidden in your heart?" You won't lie to me again and say that Grandma Mountain God taught you, right? ”
Ziqi said: "Of course not, I came up with it myself!" ”
Shang Qingjun pursed his red and glamorous lips, "You are becoming more and more incomprehensible to me, you taught me arithmetic, and the bamboo slips you made, and now you have made ink blocks, this is unheard of and unseen, what kind of person are you, like a mystery!" ”
"Why do you want to do so much, just know that I am the one who loves you the most!" With that, he kissed Shang Qingjun's lips.
Shang Qingjun couldn't escape anymore, and Ziqi's arms were like two iron chains, firmly bound to her waist. She shuddered, and gradually became intoxicated with the enthusiasm of her childhood.
After a long separation, Shang Qingjun's originally pure and fair face was already "in full swing". She said in a voice like a mosquito, "It's time for us to go home, you should be hungry!" ”
Ziqi smiled and said, "I'm not hungry anymore, didn't I eat a lot just now?" ”
Shang Qingjun was ashamed of himself, and gave him a blank look, "If you flamboyate in the future, I will ignore you!" ”
It's not good to tease her anymore, so he closed the shop and took Shang Qingjun to the market. He knows that businessmen are honest and honest, and he says that the four walls of his family are almost the same. Remembering Princess Shaoshu's entrustment, he took out his money bag and bought meat, vegetables, rice and noodles for almost half a year, anyway, it was easy to store in winter, so he didn't have to worry about spoiling.
Shang Qingjun followed behind, stopped him and asked, "What are you doing here?" How long are you going to eat? ”
The child was in a good mood and began to talk nonsense: "It's okay, I can't eat and walk around!" Shang Qingjun was afraid that he would say more appalling things, so he didn't dare to say any more.
I overpaid the money in the sub-period, and instructed all the vendors to send it to the Shangrong Mansion, no matter when, there was no money to settle the matter. The vendors were naturally happy to see Qian Bei, and they all agreed. He ordered two more jars of fine wine, and asked the shopkeeper to deliver it to the house as usual.
It took a total of three punbei before and after, and the sub-period helped Shang Qingjun to go to the black wind. Shang Qingjun said in a low voice: "If you are like this, Father will be unhappy!" Ziqi looked serious, "How can I be unhappy, is it good for me to honor my future father-in-law?" ”
When Shang Qingjun heard this, his face was shy, and his heart seemed to be filled with honey. Ziqi said that he was going to get on the horse, but Shang Qingjun pushed him and refused to ride with him in the downtown area. The child had to lead the horse on the ground.
Less than a moment after the two returned home, vendors came one after another to deliver goods. In a few moments, a hill was piled up in the barn. The weak and quiet Shang Qingjun couldn't be busy even if he wanted to help, so he stood aside and watched Ziqi busy, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Ziqi didn't look like a prince anywhere except for that clothes.
It wasn't until he straightened up after the sub-period was busy that Shang Qingjun said apologetically: "You rest for a while, I'll cook for you!" ”
Although the rice and vegetables used by Shang Qingjun for cooking were all bought in the sub-period, and it seemed to have the taste of making his own village and inviting him to eat, it didn't matter to him, as long as it was made by Shang Qingjun himself, he felt very enjoyable.
Ziqi did not stay in the living room, but followed Shang Qingjun into the kitchen.
When Shang Qingjun saw it, he was immediately at a loss, "Get out quickly, what are you doing in the kitchen as a prince?" Let people see the joke to death! ”
The hippie smile in the sub-stage is like a dog skin plaster, "What are you afraid of, there are just the two of us at home, who will know if you don't say it?" The old servant will not come over at the gatehouse. To tell you the truth, I not only go into the kitchen a lot, but I also cook! ”
Shang Qingjun was busy washing rice in his hand, and gave him a blank look, "You will bluff me to be happy, I don't believe it!" ”
Ziqi looked serious, "I'm telling the truth, I'll make boiled pork slices, won't you?" ”
Shang Qingjun thought he was talking nonsense, so he ignored him when he was busy with himself.
Zi Ji remembered his favorite boiled pork slices in his previous life, his mouth was full of saliva, and he had traveled to Yin Shang for almost a year, and he hadn't eaten it once, which was cruel torture.
He thought about it, rolled up his sleeves, cut a piece of pork, and picked up a kitchen knife to cut it on the vegetable mound. Shang Qingjun saw that he was serious, and hurriedly came over to grab the kitchen knife.
Ziqi looked obscene and stuck out his tongue to Shang Qingjun's pretty face, and Shang Qingjun was so angry that he punched him hard, "You don't look like a prince at all, like a scoundrel!" ”
Zi Ji smiled, as for the prince is not a prince, a scoundrel is not a scoundrel, he doesn't care, just be happy! After cutting the meat slices, I was dumbfounded, where to find chili peppers and peppers? Chili peppers were only introduced from the Americas during the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention kale, which only came to China from Russia in the 19th century.
Isn't it possible to let Lao Tzu take a time machine and go back to the 21st century to get it back and do it again?
Ziqi put down the kitchen knife, "You are busy with yours first, keep the meat slices for me, I want to find a way!" Shang Qingjun thought he was messing around, so he ignored him and went to his own business. Zi Qi walked around the kitchen warehouse with his hands behind his back, and kept muttering, "Lao Tzu really doesn't believe it, the living let the urine suffocate to death!" ”
Shang Qingjun was busy in the kitchen, and when he looked up, he picked up a cabbage from the warehouse and came back with a few dried shallots, "It's still a home-grown thing, you can find it everywhere!" ”
Shang Qingjun was happy, let him ignore him, and only cared about himself. Although there were no chili peppers, he found ginger and peppercorns, which made him excited. There is no vegetable oil and can only be replaced by fat oil, seeing that he has done a good job, Shang Qingjun knows that he is really not messing around.
In the sub-period, he put a lot of peppercorns into the boiling soup and added wine. Shang Qingjun was taken aback, "What are you doing here?" He stared at the fire, his eyes lit up, and he swallowed. Wait until the moment the shredded green onion and ginger are poured with boiling oil, and the spicy taste bursts out.
"Do you really know how to cook?"
Ziqi took a piece of meat with a wooden chopstick and handed it to Shang Qingjun's mouth, "How about tasting it?" She took a bite in her mouth and was immediately spicy
Smack your lips, and then the rich spicy slowly fades, and your mouth is full of endless aftertaste.
Shang Qingjun was shocked.
Zi Ji also picked up a piece of meat and tasted it, tasted another bite of the vegetable leaf, and shook his head, "It's still a lot worse, if only there was Lotus brand monosodium glutamate!" ”
Shang Qingjun looked confused, "What did you say?" What MSG? Ziqi picked up the clay pot, "I mean it's good that Lord Shang can come back in time to start the meal!" ”
As soon as the two of them served the meal, Shang Rong really rushed back. Shang Rong knelt in front of him, looking at the full wine and food, "What, is this to congratulate Ziqi on his victory?" ”
Shang Qingjun poured the wine, lowered his head and smiled silently, and picked up the wine bottle in the sub-period, "What is there to congratulate, it's just a competition, I just want to come and drink with adults!" ”
Shang Rong pointed to the boiled pork slices and asked, "Qing'er, what is this?" I've never seen you do it. ”
Shang Qingjun couldn't help but smile, "Father, do you taste it?" ”
Shang Rong said hello, "I'll try Qing'er's cooking!" Sandwiching a piece of meat into the mouth, I couldn't help frowning, chewed for a long time, and stretched my eyebrows and asked: "The taste is mellow, spicy and fragrant, who did Qing'er learn from?" ”
Shang Qingjun didn't dare to talk, so he just lowered his head to eat. The child was in a good mood and poured wine frequently. Shang Rong was half-drunk, and he talked more, "Your Highness, it's time to go to the Praetorian Guard Camp tomorrow to take office, do you know anything about the internal affairs of the Praetorian Guard?" ”
Ziqi Zhengse said: "Don't hide it from your lord, I don't know anything about the guards, can you see it?" ”
Shang Rong frowned slightly, "I'm afraid that you don't know anything about the Praetorian Guards, and you will be tied up when the time comes." ”
It turned out that in the Yin Shang era, most of the Praetorian Guards came from the children of the royal family and nobles, and the common people wanted to enter the Praetorian Guard Camp, which was a dream!
In this way, naturally there were many factions in the Praetorian Guard Camp, some of which were headed by the son of Bigan, who were loyal to the royal family, and were neither inclined to Wei Ziqi nor Zishou, but only obeyed Di Yi's orders; Part of them are headed by Taizhu's nephew Wuxu, these people are hardcore Wei Zi Qi and his party, and they don't want to push Wei Zi Qi to the throne all the time.
In history, after Zishou succeeded to the throne, these people did not give up, until the later battle of Makino, this group of people became the main force of the rebellion before the battle to capture Chaoge City; The other group was led by the son of the basket, and this group was relatively small. Later, Miko's son died of illness, and Evil was the leader. This group of people is a sworn friend of Zishou, and most of them died on the battlefield in the Battle of Makino.
Ziqi listened to Shang Rong's introduction, and weighed it against historical data, and felt that it was a headache, it was difficult for such a Praetorian Guard to do the ban.
Shang Rong said worriedly: "Your Highness has just joined the forbidden army, and you must establish your prestige and cut off dissidents, so that you can firmly grasp the forbidden army and protect the safety of the royal city." Otherwise, not to mention that the responsibility of guarding is difficult, even the orders from the top to the bottom may be discounted. ”
Shang Qingjun said with a smile: "Father, you don't have to worry about him, these trivial matters are not difficult for him, he has a lot of ghost ideas!" ”
Shang Rong twisted his beard and smiled: "It's that I'm worried, let's drink!" ”
It was rare for Shang Rong to be happy, and he accompanied him to drink with him, and unconsciously drank too much. Before Shang Qingjun finished removing the tableware, he fell asleep on the seat.
Shang Rong stood up and said, "It's hard for him to fight three games without defeat, and he's tired, so let him sleep here!" With that, he went back to the inner room to rest.
After Shang Qingjun finished cleaning up, he hurriedly took out his fox fur and covered him with it.
Ziqi slept until sunset and dusk before waking up, and when he saw Shang Qingjun sitting beside him, he was a little embarrassed, "Why don't you call me?" ”
Shang Qingjun hung his head, "Father said that you are tired, it is rare to sleep so sweetly, how can I disturb you?" ”
Ziqi hurriedly stood up, "I should go back, it's so late, maybe they will be in a hurry in Lijiao." Shang Qingjun kept sending him outside the courtyard gate, and when he saw him get on the horse, he asked in a low voice, "When will Your Highness come again?" ”
Ziqi thought about it immediately, "When Liao is more ready, I'll send it to the shop for you." ”
Shang Qingjun wanted to speak and stopped, but finally couldn't say it, so he only knew it. Seeing the child period hit the horse and left, he didn't return until he was gone.
As soon as I arrived at Haocheng Houfu, I saw many people standing in front of the door from a distance. Lai'er and the girls were so anxious that they took the horses out. When the people saw him dismount outside the door, they immediately gathered around him.
Li Jiao asked the soldiers to lead the horses back and asked, "Second brother, where have you been?" The family is dying, and Li Hong and I are about to look for you. ”
Ziqi said with a big grin: "Come out of the palace and go to Lord Shangrong to talk about the guards." Can I lose such a big brother alive? ”
Li Hong came up to him and said, "If it weren't for the competition, we wouldn't be in such a hurry." If it weren't for everyone forcing Xia Nong to be anxious and saying that you would go to the palace to compete, everyone would still be in the dark. You also hide such a big thing from us, what is the result? ”
Ziqi pretended to be relaxed and said: "How difficult can it be to win a forbidden army guard?" Those people are pampered and can't afford to be punched and kicked. ”
Back at the inner house, Shanon was aggrieved with tears in his eyes. Ziqi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" "It's okay not to ask, he asked, and Xia Nong's tears came down one by one, "You're embarrassed to ask, if you don't come back, they will all eat me." ”
Ziqi hurriedly smiled at everyone, "It's no wonder that Xia Nong, I didn't let her tell you." It's a trivial matter, why should you worry about me? ”
Lai'er said sarcastically with a cold look: "I'm also a dog who meddles with rats, and Shanon is the person in your room, so naturally you should know that I have these things in my heart." ”
Xia Nong cried even more aggrieved when she heard this, and Nu Jiang quietly pulled the placket of her next to her. Ziqi looked helpless, and he didn't dare to have a temper at all for Lai'er. When I looked up, I saw Qi Zhu and Mei Heng standing behind, and they didn't dare to speak.
Ziqi said to them: "Count them lucky today, I didn't help you two avenge their hatred." Wu Hai was broken by my shoulder bone, Zi Ji was stabbed in the left rib by my short sword, and now I don't know if he is dead or alive! ”
Lai'er's eyes were sharp, and she saw the Shenque Sword hanging from Ziqi's waist, and she disappeared without a trace. Although he spoke coldly, he still couldn't help but worry in his heart, "Bai Ganzi, what about your hundred slashes, what about the broken sword?" ”
Ziji knew that if he didn't make it clear, Lai'er would definitely not give up, so he told them what had happened. Lai'er was not distressed but angry, "Bai Ganzi, next time you fight with someone, can you tell me, it's a shame to bring me?" ”
The child period has a smile on his face, "Okay, next time!" ”
Qi Zhu and Mei Heng looked surprised, they didn't know what to say, and stood in place in a daze.
Xiannon said to them, "Go back and rest early, it's getting late!" ”
The two hurriedly withdrew.
[Tsing Yi says in this chapter]
The Analects record that Confucius said: "If you don't withdraw ginger food, you won't eat more." This is the earliest written record of ginger, and the word ginger also appears in the oracle bone inscription, but limited to the surname, Tsing Yi speculates that ginger has appeared in Yin Shang, but it is not recorded.
Cabbage is a native vegetable in China and has a long history of cultivation. According to research, the cabbage seeds found at the site of the original village of Banpo in Xi'an during the Neolithic period in China are about 6,000 to 7,000 years old. There is a record of "picking leaves and picking phenanthro, without the following body" in the "Gu Feng", which shows that in the Central Plains more than 3,000 years ago, the use of cabbage (cranberry, mustard greens, wead, Chinese cabbage is cabbage and the like) and phenanthrene (radish and the like) has been very common.
In 663 B.C., Qi Xinggong led his troops to attack Shanrong, that is, the famous battle of "Qi Huan Gongbing Dingguzhu" in history, and found that the Shanrong people were good at planting winter onions
As early as the Shang Dynasty, there was a lonely bamboo country in the area of eastern Hebei, which was the origin of green onions. In the "Book of Rites", there are very detailed records about the method of cooking with green onions, such as: "Where the green onion is used in spring...... Fat with green onions. ”
In the "Book of Songs", there is a verse of "Jiao Qixin", "The Book of Songs? Chen Feng? "The Hammer of the East Gate" also has "Gu Dan is gone, and the more sour it is." Seeing it like a wattle, I hold the pepper. "This refers to Sichuan peppercorns.
