Chapter 148: MSG
The heavy snow in Tokyo slowly stopped for three days in a row, but fortunately only the first day was particularly heavy, and the snowflakes became much smaller in the next two days, but even so, when the snow stopped, the snow on the road could bury people, and many people's doors were also blocked by snow, and they had to find a shovel to shovel the snow first.
In the three days of snow, Cao Ying was very busy, because the snow was too big, and if the snow on the roof was not cleaned in time, it was likely to collapse the roof, so Cao Ying had to find time from time to time in the past three days to direct the subordinates to go up to the roof to push the snow down, and Zhao Yan was not idle, he took Lin Hu and a group of strong guards to Shangshuizhuang, and also helped the villagers clean the snow on the roof, after all, their houses are not strong, and if they collapse, they are likely to die, and even if they are empty, they will go with them to help.
This morning, Zhao Yan saw that the snow outside finally stopped, and he was relieved at the moment, although he likes snow, but it is not a good thing that the snow is too big, especially now that the door is blocked, this can already be called a snow disaster, it seems that this year's Great Song Dynasty is really a disaster, the summer flood plus the winter snow disaster, it is estimated that Zhao Shu in the palace and Han Qi and others in the political hall must have a headache again.
However, Zhao Yan can't control the affairs of the court, he only needs to take care of his own one-third of an acre, after getting up in the morning, he is still the same as usual, and came to the garden to play Tai Chi, the snow in the courtyard has already been swept out by the people, and there are two snow-capped mountains piled up by the Qingshui River, and Zhao Yan can see it standing in the yard.
As soon as Zhao Yan's tai chi boxing began, he heard the sound of someone running outside, and then his cousin Zhao Yingning, who was losing weight, also ran in from outside, saw Zhao Yan say hello to him, and then ran along the garden by himself, since he was stimulated last time. She has already realized a lot, and she usually doesn't need Zhao Yan to urge her every day.
Looking at Zhao Yingning's back, Zhao Yan also nodded with satisfaction. Compared with when she first came, Zhao Yingning has lost more than forty pounds now. Now the whole person looks thinner several times, of course, she is still fatter than ordinary people, but at least she is no longer like the Roshan appearance before, it is estimated that by the spring of next year, her body shape should be able to return to the appearance of a normal person, even if she is a little fatter, it will not be too conspicuous.
Zhao Yan played Tai Chi for a while, only to see that Cao Ying and Princess Shoukang were also here, and then followed Zhao Yan to play Tai Chi together. It's just that the two of them don't like this slow way of fitness very much, and Princess Bao'an's illness is not completely cured, and now they can only lie in bed, so both of them are a little listless.
After morning exercise, they had breakfast, and then Zhao Yan and they went to visit Princess Bao'an, and that day was empty to make a bowl of porridge for Princess Bao'an, but she slept very sweetly after drinking, and woke up the next day, although the body was still heavy and weak, but the stomach felt very comfortable. In the next few days, she had to eat a special medicinal meal made by Sora once a night, and the methods were also varied. What's even more amazing is that her condition is also slowly improving, although the degree is a little slower, but it is originally "sick like a mountain, sick like a thread", so this is also normal.
After visiting Princess Bao'an, Zhao Yan was ready to go to the front yard to find time to chat, and if Xue Ning'er had time, she could also help her draw a picture. In the past few days, I have been busy clearing the snow, plus Princess Bao'an is sick. I don't have time or mood to paint her portrait at all.
However, as soon as Zhao Yan walked to the front yard, he saw the housekeeper Lao Fu carrying a shovel. Preparing to go out with a group of subordinates who were also holding tools, this made him a little curious, and immediately stopped them and said, "Lao Fu, what are you doing here, isn't the snow around the courtyard and on the side of Shangshui Village almost cleared?" ”
Hearing Zhao Yan's question, Lao Fu immediately bowed down and replied: "King Qiyu, although the snow in our courtyard and Zhuangzi has been cleared, the road from the courtyard to the old Caomen in the capital is still blocked by heavy snow. ”
This is called su zhì! Zhao Yan sighed in his heart, the road from the old Cao Gate to him is not only they go, the surrounding villages and people who enter and leave the city gate also have to take this road, but these people are relatively loose and cannot be organized, and it belongs to Zhao Yan's county palace is more powerful, so Lao Fu is obliged to take the responsibility of opening the road, this may be the ancient version of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility".
"Okay, cleaning up the truth is also for the benefit of everyone, but you can't let everyone work in vain, Lao Fu, you go to buy two pigs, give each person who works some pork, the remaining pig bones, pig water to boil soup, and then let the kitchen steam some white flour steamed buns, unlimited supply for the people who work, after all, only when you are full can you have the strength to work!" Zhao Yan instructed very generously, for this kind of obligation, you can't make money, otherwise you will fall behind, but it's okay to order pork to improve your diet.
"The old slave understands!" Lao Fu also immediately agreed, now the palace is not short of money, and two pigs are not worth much, so now Lao Fu is also very generous. When those subordinates heard that there was pork to take, they were all thankful at the moment.
Sent off the snow clearing team, Zhao Yan came to the empty courtyard, it happened that the empty was also reading at this time, and after seeing Zhao Yan, he was also very happy to invite him in, although the empty has lived here with Zhao Yan for nearly three days, but the two have not had a good conversation.
"King Jun, after a few days of recuperation, the princess's condition has improved a lot, and it is estimated that in a few days, she will be able to walk around on the ground." As soon as Zhao Yan sat down, he immediately smiled and said.
When Zhao Yan heard this, he immediately thanked him: "This time it is thanks to the help of the second sister, otherwise the second sister will be in danger, but although the condition has passed this time, the second sister's body needs to be carefully recuperated, especially the second sister's internal organs are very fragile, and then it will trouble you!" ”
"Hehe, the king of the county doesn't have to be polite, it is also the honor of the little monk to be able to treat the princess!" Likong also said very politely, and then he thought of something, and said with a smile at the moment, "In addition, the food in the county king's mansion is also an eye-opener for the little monk, and even a little happy, maybe after the princess's illness is cured, the little monk may have to gain a few laps." ”
It's not a compliment to say nothing, Zhao Yan taught some of the food in the kitchen in the kitchen, and the empty is an important guest, so his diet is also provided by the inner kitchen, and as a result, in the past few days, the empty has also been impressed by the novel food of the county king's mansion, although the cooking techniques of some dishes are somewhat insufficient, but each dish is very novel, and even every afternoon he asked the cook for advice by making medicinal food for Princess Bao'an, and the result was also a great benefit, and what he didn't expect was that Those novel dishes turned out to be from Zhao Yan's hands.
Zhao Yan was also very happy to hear the empty praise of the dishes in his house, he was also a foodie in his previous life, and now he can meet such a similar kind of Kong, naturally he is also sympathetic, the two foodies meet together, and the topic of discussion is inseparable from a food word, anyway, it is flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground, almost all of them are listed on the recipe by the two of them, and various cooking methods are also discussed by the two.
The two chatted about food, and finally somehow talked about the seaweed, and then bowed to Zhao Yan and said: "The little monk has not yet come to thank the king of the county, thanks to the king of the county, you helped the little monk to promote the seaweed, and now the seaweed in Tokyo is also in short supply, some time ago there was news from Quanzhou, the villages where I used to live temporarily, all relied on the seaweed to eat a few full meals." ”
Speaking of laver, Zhao Yan thought of the monosodium glutamate extracted from laver at the beginning, and said with a smile: "The matter of laver is beneficial to the country and the people, as the king of the Great Song Dynasty, it is naturally incumbent on me, but the method you extracted monosodium glutamate last time was really not very good, if it were me, I would never do that!" ”
"Taste...... Monosodium glutamate? What is MSG? Hearing this unfamiliar name, he was stunned.
Zhao Yan patted his head when he heard this, and immediately explained: "Didn't you extract a very small amount of seasoning with seaweed last time, as long as a little bit of that thing can make the food taste very delicious, so I named it monosodium glutamate, seaweed contains the ingredients of monosodium glutamate, but unfortunately the content is too small, you must also know this!" ”
"I see, MSG, the essence of taste, that's a very apt name!" Hearing this, he also muttered to himself, but then he asked a little puzzled, "King Jun, seaweed contains MSG, I already know this, but some ingredients can also make a very delicious taste, do these ingredients also contain MSG?" ”
"Hahaha~, yes, you are really smart, not only does the food contain a small amount of MSG in the seaweed, but also some mushrooms, soy sauce, and chicken also contain MSG, and even there is a seagrass called kelp in the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, which also contains MSG like seaweed, and the yield of this kelp is extremely high, and the taste is also good, if it can be introduced and let fishermen breed at the seaside, it is also a good way to make money." Zhao Yan said with a laugh after hearing this.
"The king of the county is erudite, and the little monk is convinced!" I didn't expect Zhao Yan to know MSG so well, and I didn't expect that there was a kind of kelp in the sea that also contained MSG like seaweed.
For the empty compliment, Zhao Yan smiled and said: "However, whether it is seaweed, kelp or mushrooms, there are not many MSG ingredients in it, but there is an ingredient that contains a lot of MSG, but unfortunately it is the same as the previous seaweed, and it is rarely eaten!"
