Chapter 44: Scorched

Ye Wen followed Li Zhen for a while to play the tractor at half past ten, drank a few glasses of wine, and played cards with Yu Chi Baolin for a while, since Ye Wen broke Yu Chi Baolin, Yu Chi Baolin also respected Ye Wen a lot, and did not have the meaning of looking down on Ye Wen before.

Playing and playing, no one was looking for Ye Wen to play cards for the time being, so Ye Wen looked at the situation in the hall.

Ye Wen found that the people in this hall were all from the younger generation, and they were all disciples of the family, and none of those ministers had a party, it was estimated that there was another party, after all, Li Er was not here, only the crown prince Li Chengqian was entertained here.

In addition, Ye Wen also found that there are no female dependents here, and men and women do not intersect, how can they look at each other? Ye Wen couldn't help but feel strange.

When Ye Wen and the others were chatting about the same, there was a sound outside the door, and the disciples of the family got up one after another and looked out when they heard this.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my father has prepared some fun and delicious food for everyone, please move outside." Li Chengqian, who got the news, said loudly.

Since the crown prince Li Chengqian said so, the disciples of the family also walked out one after another. Ye Wen saw that Cheng Chumo and they all walked outside, and Ye Wen followed out.

When I walked outside, I found that all kinds of lanterns were lit on the edge of the small lake not far away, and the lake reflected the lights and the stars in the lake.

In addition to the lanterns, there are also "lantern towers" and "lamp trees" in the open space by the lake, compared with those "lamp towers" and "lamp trees" outside the Anfu Gate, they are not inferior to half a point, and they are much taller than them, and they illuminate this open space into daylight.

These open spaces are like the streets outside the palace, there are all kinds of snacks, and the disciples of the family who are walking fast have already tasted those snacks in front of them, and they don't need money, and they even vaguely see the female dependents.

"How does it compare to the Ye Lang family?" A disciple of the family who had been following Cheng Chumo asked, it seemed that Ye Wen's previous words made him unable to let go for a long time.

"It's not much different." Ye Wen has nothing to say in the face of the "light tower" and "light tree" that cost a lot of money, so he can't talk to them about neon lights or anything.

After receiving Ye Wen's reply, the disciples of the family were not satisfied, but they did not continue to say anything.

"Why bother, let's go down there and have fun." Cheng Chumo didn't want them to be too targeted, after all, they were all his friends, so he proposed.

"It's okay, Brother Cheng, please." Ye Wen also wanted to try the flavors of the Tang Dynasty.

"Brother Ye, please." Cheng Chu was polite and went down with the disciples of the family.

Ye Wen came to a small stall below, and saw that the master of the stall took the round things cooked by the other side and fried them in the oil pot, and the fragrance emitted was also very good. The masters of these stalls are generally eunuchs, and the ones who do it are either eunuchs or palace maids, and I don't see masters from the people.

"Brother Ye, can you have a bowl of scorched." Cheng Chumo said on the side.

Ye Wen inquired, according to the current saying, it is "fried rice balls", if it is cooked, it will not appear until the Song Dynasty, and at that time it was not called "rice balls", but "floating garden".

Now the people of the Tang Dynasty called this kind of fried rice balls "burnt rough", "burnt ring" or "powdered fruit". The production method is not too difficult, first adjust the Lantern Festival filling, five-kernel dried fruit or salted meat and fresh vegetables for convenience; Then prepare flour and water, and a soft and rotten dough (this is different from the modern Lantern Festival, which uses rice flour to make the skin).

Then set up a large pot of boiling water, take a little Lantern Festival filling and hold it in the palm of your hand, stretch it into the rotten dough, stir and knead, pinch until the dough wraps the filling, and forcefully, a small ball of rice balls leaks out between the five fingers. Use a tool to scrape off these small noodle rice balls and throw them into a large pot to cook in water. Prepare an oil pot next to it, use charcoal to make a fire under the pot, and put one or two buckets of cooking oil in the pot, preferably sesame oil. When the oil is hot, scoop up the cooked rice balls, throw them into the oil pan and fry them, and wait for the oil to boil three or five times, then you can scoop them up and eat.

"Then taste it." After reading the introduction, Ye Wen also wanted to try it.

Cheng Chumo asked the disciples of the family beside him again, and then asked the eunuch for a few bowls, and his tone was not polite, after all, they looked down on these eunuchs.

Instead, the eunuch nodded honestly in agreement, and respectfully asked Cheng Chumo to wait for a while, for fear of treating them slowly.

After Ye Wen and Cheng Chumo sat down, Ye Wen looked around and saw that on a high ground outside a palace not far away, a group of soldiers were wearing armor and holding halberds to practice, and some ministers were sitting on the side to watch, among which Ye Wen also saw Li Er, Li Er was not sitting on the top, there was an old man who was close to the armor sitting on him, and Li Er also asked him for instructions from time to time.

Without thinking about it, Ye Wen knew that the old man was Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and Ye Wen also guessed that those soldiers performed "Seven Virtues Dance", that is, "King Qin's Breaking Array Music". It has been since the time of Li Shimin, and it was also made to commemorate his defeat of Liu Wuzhou. There are 120 participants in this dance, all wearing armor and holding halberds when they go on the stage, and chanting in unison with the accompaniment of big drums, while imitating the vertical and horizontal movements of the soldiers in the army, which is very majestic.

The eunuch respectfully brought up the "scorched", and Ye Wen also withdrew his gaze, ready to start dealing with the food in front of him.

After being polite again, Ye Wen picked up a fried rice ball and tasted it, the surface of this "burnt rough" was golden and crispy, the filling was hot and hot, and the aroma was fragrant when you bited it, which was also a delicacy.

When he ate half of it, this "burnt rough" was too greasy, and Ye Wen felt a little greasy when he ate it, and Ye Wen still ate the last few things.

After eating "scorched", Ye Wen took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, and handed it to Li Zhen, who had also finished eating, Li Zhen shook his head and refused, Ye Wen was not afraid of the impeachment of those ministers, but Li Zhen was afraid that his father would beat him.

Li Zhen took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, Ye Wen had no choice but to take back the tissue, and stuffed the used tissue back into his pocket by the way.

In ancient times, there were no trash cans, and only he was using paper towels, so Ye Wen didn't want to litter by himself.

After everyone had eaten, he got up and continued to wander, by the way, he looked at the beauty again, what if he saw the right eye, and now Ye Wen also had a little thought.

As for the princess Runan that Mrs. Cheng Chumo joked about before, it seems that there is no affection between the two of them, and Ye Wen will not expect anything before these eight characters are brushed up.

"Well, that's him." Just when Ye Wen was thinking about Princess Runan, Princess Runan's voice came from the side.

Ye Wen turned his head when he heard the sound and saw that several ladies were looking at Ye Wen curiously, Ye Wen was not ugly, and he was a little handsome, and the clothes he wore were also very fashionable, which caused them to point fingers.

"Meet Her Highness the Princess." Seeing this, Ye Wen had no choice but to step forward to meet Princess Runan, as for the person beside her, Ye Wen didn't know what to call it, so he didn't pay a visit.
