Chapter 108: The Royal Diet

(There are no recommendations, and there is really no passion at all...... Ask for a collection recommendation, let me be a little motivated)

Outside the hall, there was a sudden laughter like a pearl falling on a silver plate: "Your Majesty, if it is not easy to be an emperor, then what is easy?" ”

Lu Chengqi raised his eyes and saw that it was his queen Zhou Zhiruo, who heard his sigh and continued mischievously. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 He was surprised and delighted, and said, "Zitong, why are you here?" ”

After Zhou Zhiruo retired from the palace maids, she walked into the vertical arch hall with a light lotus step, and Lu Chengqi also walked down from the dragon chair, holding her soft hand, only to hear Zhou Zhiruo say angrily: "Your Majesty, you promised the matter of the concubine, have you forgotten?" ”

Lu Chengqi showed a childlike smile, which was very much in line with his current age of seventeen, and said: "How could I forget, I promised Zitong that I would accompany you to take care of the affairs of the welfare home today." I don't know what I'm busy with these days, and I've taken care of everything to the cabinet, but I'm busy until now......"

Zhou Zhiruo gently leaned her head into Lu Chengqi's arms and said, "You, you are like this, you are busy with state affairs, and you can't even take care of food, where will you remember the matter of the concubine?" ”

Lu Chengqi said "wronged": "Zitong, I am a big wrong, this immortal just came back from Royal Roads University, and you came over before you had a cup of tea...... The conscience of heaven and earth, I remember the matter of Zitong firmly! ”

Zhou Zhiruo laughed, beat Lu Chengqi's chest, and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, the concubine is joking with you." Let's have dinner first, and the affairs of the welfare home are not in a hurry. Anyway, most of the orphans in Jingzhao Mansion have been brought in. ”

Lu Chengqi stroked her hair and said softly: "It's all up to Zitong, and I will hand myself over to you today." ”

Zhou Zhiruo covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, you are too good at joking." If the state affairs are urgent, doesn't Your Majesty rush to deal with it? Well, the concubines also know that the welfare house is just a small way, and what Your Majesty wants to do is to benefit thousands of people. These things, the concubines can still carry clearly. ”

Lu Chengqi didn't know what to say for a while, as a man, even the person in power at the peak of the Great Shun Dynasty, he couldn't give his woman a day, he felt very ashamed. I couldn't help but slander the former owner of this body in my heart: "Phew, you short-lived ghost, and you are the only one who is so ignorant." Being able to marry such a wife is a blessing that you cultivated in your previous life! Don't say it, you are still a veritable virtuous helper, you deserve to escape marriage and fall into the pond, and you will die! ”

Lu Chengqi thought so in his heart, but on the surface, he was smiling, as if he was harmless to humans and animals. If you show those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they will be so frightened that they will not possess their bodies. This kind of Lu Chengqi is the most angry expression in his heart, but he doesn't know that Lu Chengqi's heart is full of tenderness and sweetness at this moment.

The royal diet, after all, is different from ordinary people's homes, and it is also different from the previous dynasty. Since the founding of Dashun, cups, plates, bowls, chopsticks and some tableware have gradually been prepared, and cooking techniques such as frying, frying, cooking and frying have been basically perfected. Three meals a day is also a habit that began to be developed in the Dashun Dynasty, and the cold drinks that Chinese like to drink were not available in the previous dynasty, and it was also in the Dashun Dynasty that they gradually became popular.

How good is the royal meal? Here are a few dishes to mention, you can get a glimpse of one or two: flower cooking quail, lychee white kidney, fangfang, three crispy soup, sheep tongue stick, budding belly dizziness, gizzard palm stick, quail soup, belly dizziness, mandarin duck fried belly, pangasius belly, fried sandfish soup, eel fried horseshoe crab, goose gizzard palm soup, crab stuffed ficker, fangfang jade core soup, shrimp hooves, fried eel, hand-washing crab, mackerel fake clams, five treasures, crab soup, quail crystal tart, pork belly fake burbot ray, shrimp and fish soup, jellyfish soup, two-color fish soup, clam sheng, blood meal soup...... These are the staple foods, as well as melons and fruits, honey fried before meals, and there are insertions during the feast, that is, dim sum. Finally, there are some dinners, which are also prepared for the officials of the palace.

This meal, in the future generations, can not be taken without hundreds of thousands, which shows the luxury of the emperor. Master Jin Yong wrote in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that the five treasures of mandarin ducks are the five treasures in this, which refers to the finely cut meat, as the so-called "don't get tired of eating, don't get tired of fine", which comes out here. The Dashun Dynasty protected the cultivated cattle, and beef was not allowed to be eaten. There is also little pork to eat, mutton, chickens, ducks and geese are eaten, and the sheep's head is still a high-end food, which Lu Chengqi never expected.

Fortunately, Lu Chengqi is not a person who is greedy for luxury, and when he heard that the royal meal was so extravagant, he immediately issued an order to make the imperial meal according to the person who eats it. If two people eat, three dishes and one soup, three people eat four dishes and one soup, and so on. Lu Chengqi's purpose is to eliminate waste from the source. Obviously, the emperor and queen can make one hundred and eight dishes for two people, and Lu Chengqi also admires the extravagant and wasteful methods of these people. If you eat one chopstick for each dish, you can eat two or three meals. A lot of dishes are still begging for a lottery, and you can't eat them at all. Lu Chengqi was angry and issued an order, denouncing the extravagance and waste of the imperial dining room. When the cabinet ministers heard this, they all sighed that Lu Chengqi was thrifty.

After a meal, Lu Chengqi and Zhou Zhiruo both left the palace in micro-clothes and went straight to the welfare home. In fact, the welfare home is an orphanage for later generations, but the word "orphan", Lu Chengqi thinks that this is disrespectful to these poor children who have no parents. You don't know how much the word orphan hurts these children, even if the pain is smoothed, when you see these two words, they will be touched by others. In view of this, Lu Chengqi resolutely did not use the orphanage, but called it a welfare home.

Lu Chengqi hopes that these poor children can grow up to be the pillars of the country in the future, and will not forget the cultivation of them by the Dashun court. The word welfare is to let them remember the care given to them by the Dashun court and not forget the country.

Zhou Zhiruo and Lu Chengqi walked side by side on the streets of Chang'an City, like a newlywed couple. At this time, the etiquette was not as strict as the Song Dynasty in the official history, and many women were not like the Ming Dynasty, and they were in the deep boudoir. The folk customs of the Dashun Dynasty are quite open, otherwise there would not be such a grand occasion of choosing a mate as the Lantern Festival.

Thinking of those poor orphans, Zhou Zhiruo's motherly thread in her heartstrings seemed to be plucked again, and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and has set up a welfare home so that these orphans will not be homeless." I also invited Mr. Mengxue, to teach and read, His Majesty's mind is difficult for a saint to reach! ”

Lu Chengqi also knew that those orphans were pitiful, their parents were dead, and some of them had to live in their uncle's house, and they were regarded as servants with no status. Others live on the streets and become beggars.

He said with emotion: "What I have done is nothing more than my duty. If my people don't care, how can they care about me as an emperor? I don't dare to compare with the saints, my mind can only be benevolent to the people of Dashun, and the saints are like this to everyone in the world, I will definitely not be able to do it. ”

They whispered as if a young couple were whispering, causing the people around them to cover their mouths and snicker. The imperial guards were all driven ten zhang away by Lu Chengqi, hanging them from a distance, not letting them get close.

In fact, after successive generations of rectification, the public security in Chang'an City is still very good, at least the crime rate is not high. The imperial guards were just brought out just in case, otherwise Lu Chengqi would still be troublesome to them.

After a short time, I walked to the welfare home. The plaque on it is still the word of Zhou Yanhua, the secretary of the Criminal Department of the Dynasty, who is clearly helping orphans in the name of the Zhou family, but secretly it is the money and silver from the Huangzhuang. It's not that Lu Chengqi doesn't want to be in the limelight, but he thinks that it is better to come forward in the name of the queen for such things, after all, his mind will not always be on the welfare home.
