Chapter Ninety-Three: Cute But Lao Tzu

It wasn't until Yaojia and Du Chun told Zhang Xiao about the name of this thing together, that Zhang Xiao knew that at this time, people called radish reeds!

Zhang Xiao also didn't care, what is love called, as long as you can make this thing! Then he said to Du Chun: "You cut the reeds into thin strips, and then steam and boil them......

Du Chun bowed and said, "Du Chun understands!" Then she retreated to the next room, Yaojia was wandering around in these two rooms, knowing that she was curious about such a novel eating method, and she didn't know how busy she thought!

Zhang Xiao took the pork from Du Chun's hand, and was about to chop it up and mix it with the radish, Yao Jia happened to come over from the next room and immediately stopped it: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is for the king and queen to eat!" ”

Zhang Xiao put down the knife in his hand and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's for my father and queen mother!" ”

Yaojia pointed to the pork and said, "Then you still let them eat pork?" ”

In the ancient eating habits, pork was not a tall meat for a long time, "the Son of Heaven eats too fast, cattle, sheep and pigs, the princes eat cattle, the Qing eats sheep, the doctor eats pigs, the scholars eat fish, and the people eat vegetables." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the pre-Qin period, only cattle and sheep were the best meat, and the Book of Rites and the Imperial System said: "The princes do not kill cattle for no reason, the doctors do not kill sheep for no reason, the scholars do not kill dogs and pigs for no reason, and the common people do not eat treasures for no reason." ”

Therefore, Yaojia saw Zhang Xiao like this, so she hurriedly stopped it, Zhang Xiao took the knife in her hand and handed it to Yaojia, and said: "This combination is the most perfect, if you don't believe it, you can taste it first!" ”

Yaojia looked at the prince in disbelief, and the suggestion of being His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not bad. Yaojia took the knife in the hand of His Royal Highness the Prince, and chopped it up!

In the palace, the queen rubbed the palm of King Zhao's palm, and the queen complained: "Your Majesty, why are you playing like the prince today?" At this time, King Zhao was a little better and said: "Prince, sometimes playing and sometimes making a splash with others, like this, how can I rest assured?" ”

In the Shangshi Bureau, Zhang Xiao demonstrated the cut dumpling wrapper to everyone: "In this way, wrap the filling, and the appearance is in the shape of "ingots", so that it is done!" ”

Yaojia picked up a piece wrapped by Zhang Xiao and pointed to it: "That's what the "ingot" looks like?" "The ingots that Zhang Xiao said in his mouth, they don't understand, but there is still the kung fu of drawing scoops according to the gourd, Zhang Xiao demonstrated a few times, and the people in the Shangshi Bureau began to wrap themselves up!

Yaojia is also not to be left behind, and she also learned Zhang Xiao's dumplings, Zhang Xiao looked at her bag and laughed: "After a while, you can eat it yourself, I don't eat like this!" ”

After speaking, he picked up Yaojia's first dumpling and laughed, Yaojia listened to this and the corners of her mouth twitched, vowing not to make dumplings anymore!

Seeing the increasing number of dumplings on the plate, Zhang Xiao picked up a plate and put it into the pot, Du Chun has been following the prince's side, the prince has learned almost what he is doing today, what he has to do is to be familiar with this set of processes!

Although the process of making dumplings is slightly complicated, Zhang Xiao saw bowls of dumplings fished out of the pot, and he didn't feel tired of everything he had done before.

When Zhang Xiao and Yaojia were on the table in the queen's palace, they brought a few bowls of dumplings. The queen looked at the food in the bowl in amazement, it was the first time she had seen such food!

When the queen looked closely, she saw that there was still a little vinegar poured into a small bowl, and the queen pointed and said, "How can there be 'bitter wine'?" "Vinegar is a traditional condiment in all major Chinese cuisines. According to the existing written records, the ancient Chinese working people used koji as a starter to ferment and brew vinegar, oriental vinegar originated in China, and "vinegar" was called "vinegar" in ancient China, "ferment", "bitter wine" and so on.

After Zhang Xiao heard this, he picked up the chopsticks and put the dumplings into the vinegar, and then said: "You can dip the dumplings in "bitter wine" to eat, the taste is better!" ”

The queen gave Zhang Xiao a taste of the dumplings dipped in vinegar for herself, and then praised King Zhao: "The prince's words are true!" After King Zhao on the side heard it, he tasted a dumpling by himself!

The entrance of dumplings is really different from the craftsmanship of the people in the Shangshi Bureau, so he commented: "In this way, the prince's filial piety can be added!" ”

After Zhang Xiao heard it, he hurriedly said to the queen: "The queen mother, the sons and daughters heard that the dumplings are also called "Jiao'er", and eating dumplings on the day of the winter solstice has the custom of preventing freezing for a year! ”

The queen was picking up a dumpling at this time, looked at it and said, "Don't say it, it's really like an ear?" ”

When King Zhao heard Zhang Xiao's customs, he answered: "There is such a custom, it's really rare!" ”

Zhang Xiao saw that the queen had finished eating the whole bowl of dumplings she had made, so she asked Yaojia to clean up and retreat! Following Yao Jia, who retreated, hurriedly went to the Shangshi Palace, where Du Chun and his party cooks, like gourmets in later generations, had dumplings in their bowls, and then took a bite, and tasted their feet:

"The leather page is light and thin, and the taste is delicious when you bite into it!"

"It's not greasy, but it's delicious!"

…………

Zhang Xiao, who was about to rush in from outside the door, heard this, and his body fluttered, but when he looked at Yao Jialai, there seemed to be fire in his eyes, and Yao Jia shouted: "Du Chun, what did you promise just now?" ”

After saying this, I have to make a gesture to find a kitchen knife and prepare to chop this little guy! Du Chun hurriedly stopped and curryed favor: "Sister female official, you have to find a kitchen knife again, and the dumplings will be eaten by His Royal Highness the Prince......"

Only then did Yaojia see that His Royal Highness the Prince, who came back with him, was struggling to eat at the moment! Seeing this, Yaojia rushed over with an "ah......

In Zhuo's house, on the day of the winter solstice, the Zhuo family rarely gathered together, in previous years, Youyou was also a member of the Zhuo family sitting next to Zhuo Qianya, this year Zhuo Qianya seems to be his cousin's poor appearance!

Wang Yu looked at Zhuo Qianya with a smile, but he didn't expect Zhuo Qianya to give him a roll of the eyes directly! Wang Yu didn't care, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it by himself!

Zhuo Fan in the main seat looked at the full number of people in the family, and some people standing outside raised their glasses and said: "God bless the Zhuo family, make my Zhuo family's business prosperous and prosperous!" After Zhuo Fan finished saying this, he drank the wine as soon as he raised his head, which attracted the praise of the family members!

After Zhuo Fan drank it, he said to everyone: "Family night banquet, don't pay attention to too much, come and ......"

In this way, after Zhuo Fan said this, the night banquet in Zhuo's family was the real beginning!
