Chapter 14 Uncle doesn't know how to cook
Hearing Li Yuanba's seemingly clueless words, Princess Gaoyang blinked a pair of big watery eyes, tilted her head to look at Li Yuanba, and said, "Fourth uncle, does this have anything to do with the meeting gift you want to give me?" ”
Li Shimin also showed enough interest and stared at his fourth brother for a while.
An unfathomable smile appeared on Li Yuanba's face, and he didn't speak, just looked at Princess Gaoyang lightly.
In fact, this thing is embarrassed in his heart, Tai Nima lost the face of the traverser, and the juniors finally asked for a small meeting gift, but he was suffering from having no long things, nothing to handle, shame, shame, it was too embarrassing!
I don't know if it's because this product is too similar, or if Princess Gaoyang's curiosity is too strong, but in the end she still didn't resist the temptation. Confused, he said: "Okay, okay, forget if you don't say it!" But if you want to talk about the best meal I have eaten since I was a child, it is the Chinese New Year's Eve meal that I eat every year, not only the various snacks I like to eat, but also many local specialties. ”
As a top student in the history department, Li Yuanba naturally knows that this 'year except' is actually what modern people call Chinese New Year's Eve.
The Chinese New Year's Eve of the Tang Dynasty people is the whole family gathering together to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and drink peppercorn wine to ward off the cold and dampness. After the reunion dinner, the whole family sits around the brazier until dawn, which is called "keeping the New Year".
Recalling the joy of the 'year-on-year division' in his mind, Li Yuanba laughed and said, "Little girl, do you want to eat a meal that is even more delicious than the year-Chinese New Year's Eve meal?" ”
When Princess Gaoyang heard this, her big watery eyes couldn't help but light up, and she said, "Fourth uncle, you want to prepare a table of food for me?" ”
Li Yuanba shook his head and said, "You don't care about this, anyway, when the time comes, I will let you bite off your tongue!" ”
"Yuanba, the gentleman is far away from cooking, if you cook in person, you will lose our royal face!"
Li Shimin listened to the darkening face next to him, the dignified royal family, his Li Shimin's own brother, actually wanted to go to the back kitchen to cook, if the imperial historians knew, they would not have to go up to 180 percent to kill Li Yuanba.
However, Li Yuanba didn't care, but pursed his lips and said, "Brother Huang, what do you think the gentleman is far away from cooking?" ”
"Yuanba, are you going to take the school exam?" Li Shimin had a gloomy face and said: "'Gentleman Far Away Kitchen' comes from "Mencius" "Liang Hui Wang Chapter Sentence I", which says that the body of a gentleman is regarded as a major event, far away from the back kitchen!" Isn't that what it means? ”
Li Yuanba shook his head and said: "Brother Huang, this sentence is from "Liang Hui Wang Chapter and Sentences", yes, but there is such a sentence before 'The gentleman is far away from the kitchen': 'The gentleman is also **, seeing his life, he can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. ’”
"What's the difference?" Li Shimin asked.
Seeing that his words attracted Li Shimin's attention, Li Yuanba trembled a little proudly, and continued: "The people of our later generations understand that 'Junzi Yuanchu' is just taken out of context, and has completely misinterpreted the meaning of Yasheng Mencius. In fact, this sentence is Mengzi's evaluation of King Qi Xuan's unbearable desire to kill cattle, and its intention is to praise King Qi Xuan's benevolent heart. Therefore, this 'gentleman is far away from cooking' is not really to keep the gentleman away from the kitchen to cook, but to warn future generations to have a merciful heart! ”
Li Yuanba's explanation, but Li Shimin and Princess Gaoyang heard of it for the first time, I'm afraid that even Kong Ying of Hongwen Pavilion has never heard such an explanation.
Looking at Li Yuanba with a flurry of words, Li Shimin suddenly said with some doubts: "Yuanba, who did you listen to these theories?" ”
Li Yuanba's face was stunned, the cold sweat was brushing down, and after a while, he said vaguely: "This subordinate brother is not very clear, these things naturally appear in the mind of the subordinate brother, and Shen Bottom is just saying it according to the script." ”
Li Shimin groaned for a moment when he heard this, and said: "Is it really like what Yuan Tiangang said, Yuanba, your personality has changed, and there are many strange changes?" ”
"Damn, it's all right! This Li Lao Er's imagination is really rich! Li Yuanba rolled his eyes when he heard this, this can all be linked, no wonder someone can be the emperor, he Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji can only be dead ghosts.
"Father, don't interrupt, I want to see how the fourth uncle conjures up a table of delicious food for me!"
Compared with the dialogue between Li Shimin and Li Yuanba, Princess Gaoyang is more concerned about the delicious food that Li Yuanba said, and everything else is all floating clouds.
"Gao Yang, I don't think you have much hope! In this palace, whether it is north and south cuisine, or east and west delicacies, what is missing? If you are really gluttonous, I will let the Shangshi Bureau do its best to make you a table, why bother your fourth uncle? ”
After all, Li Shimin was too deeply poisoned by the misunderstanding of the meaning of 'gentleman far away cooking', and he still didn't want Li Yuanba to go to the kitchen in person.
"But, father, the fourth uncle owes Gao Yang a meeting gift! Could it be that this greeting gift can also be delinquent? ”
The little girl deliberately made a look of embarrassment, her big watery eyes showed a thick reluctance, but the corner of her eye glanced directly at Li Yuanba.
Gotcha, this little girl is really a goblin!
Sure enough, hearing Princess Gao Yang's words, Li Yuanba was anxious at that time and said: "Brother Huang, since Gao Yang wants to eat, then the younger brother can do it!" As for those imperial historians, if they are willing to play, they will play! Anyway, if you are talked, you won't lose two taels of meat. ”
Li Yuanba doesn't care what those old sour Confucians think of him, don't people live this life, don't they just want to be at ease, always care about other people's opinions, so what's the point of living?
Li Shimin couldn't resist Li Yuanba, and then thought of Li Yuanba's unruly and tendonous temperament, and suddenly he was a head or two big, and said in his heart: "Yes, let's follow his wishes!" I only hope that those imperial historians can keep their mouths dirty, otherwise, when the time comes, they will annoy the Yuanba, and they will inevitably have to cause another disaster! ”
Thinking of this, Li Shimin could only nod and said, "Okay, I will follow you!" But I'm going to talk about this ugly thing in front of me, don't make a fuss about me when the time comes, those envoys can't help but toss you! ”
Li Yuanba was a little inexplicable by Li Shimin's words, but he didn't care, just waved his hand and said: "Brother Huang, don't worry, not only Gaoyang can taste some novel dishes later, I'm afraid even Brother Huang can't help but eat a few bites!" ”
"Really, really? Fourth uncle, you really know how to cook? "Now Princess Gaoyang was completely surprised, she thought that Li Yuanba was bragging, but now it seems that it is really not like that.
"Hehe, uncle doesn't know how to cook, but uncle will guide others to cook."
Li Yuanba said with a smile, he was a famous gourmand in the historical circle in his previous life, and it was best to taste the food of the world, but he couldn't cook it at all, and he also stored thousands of recipes for each dish in his head, but without the help of a good chef, he would never be able to make delicious dishes.
