Everyone was a little tired and rested for a while. Labor brought sugar-fried chestnut five-color pastries and fruit platter, admiring the beautiful fruit platter, the oranges are cut very evenly, a few strawberries are clustered in the center, forming a spring flower, and the bottom end of the plate is placed with cucumber slices as flower leaves.

Buddha Yin couldn't help but ask: "I take eating fruit as a health care method, ladies and daughters, do you like to eat it?" ”

"Only in winter I'm afraid to eat, it's too cold." The third sister and the others replied together.

"I have to eat it every day, if I don't have it, I will feel like I'm missing something, and I can't live without it for a day." Concubine Wen replied proudly.

"Very good, probably because Concubine Wen's heart is too hot, and she needs this kind of beautiful skin product to balance it." Buddha Yin wittily pleases Concubine Wen.

"Well, that's a good thing to say, the concubine loves to hear it, and the food shops in the bazaar are doing well, and the grains and fruits are often evenly divided. The diet of Hongu was also learned from the bazaar, which is one meat, two staple foods, three fruits and four vegetables. ”

"In the history of my Great Song Dynasty, is there a similar story of 'no one knows that it is lychee'?" Concubine Wen feels that a woman who is spoiled by a man is a successful woman.

"There really is, probably because the emperors of all generations have learned history well, and they are vying to imitate how to get the daughter of the concubine. For example, Zhao Zhen, the fourth emperor of the Song Dynasty. Kumquats produced in Jiangxi Province were rarely found in the Tokyo market. Later, because Empress Wen Cheng, who was favored by this long live, liked to eat, Zhao Zhen was happy with the Pomeranians, and had to use his power to transfer Jiangxi's kumquat to Kaifeng. Soon, kumquat became popular in the Beijing food market. In addition, in response to the inconvenience of transportation, the citizens of Tokyo quickly invented the "preservation method" of mung bean and kumquat, and spread it. As if she had obtained a treasure, Concubine Wen instructed Xingxing to write down the method of preserving this fruit.

"Brother Foyin, can you elaborate on the allusion to eating grass?" Concubine Wen likes to know everything.

"Although Dongpo is a man of the year in my dynasty, he has no baggage from everyone, and he can put down his body and joke with others. Once when he passed through Runzhou (later Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), Runzhou Taishou Gao would hold a banquet to entertain him. When the three rounds of wine passed, everyone listened to the singer sing Huang Tingjian's "Tea" lyrics, and when he sang "Only a cup of spring grass can relieve Lian Jiake", Dongpo said seriously: "I want to stay and eat grass." ’

The singers then stood behind Dongpo, who was sitting on a chair, and he himself fell on the chair and laughed, but because the action was too violent, Dongpo fell to the ground, and the guests present burst into laughter. ”

This was so funny, all the concubines and attendants present were amused, and they all laughed and hurt their stomachs.

"Senior monk, did Su Shi have any happy things when he was young?" Qi Tianle asked eagerly.

Buddha Yin thought for a moment and said happily, "There really is." When Su Shi was twenty years old, he went to Beijing to go on a scientific expedition. There were six conceited people who looked down on him, and decided to prepare wine and food to invite Su Shi to the banquet, full of plans to tease him. Su Shi happily went after accepting the invitation. Before the chopsticks were moved, the people proposed a drinking order, and the content of the drinking order must refer to historical figures and events, so that they could eat a dish alone. The other five people applauded. 'I'll come first. The older one said, 'Jiang Ziya Weishui fishing!' Then he took a plate of fish. 'Uncle Qin, Bao Chang'an, sells horses! The second took away the horse's meat in a fit of rage. 'Su Ziqing Beihu shepherds! The third took the mutton without showing any weakness. 'Zhang Yi sells meat in Dezhuo County! The fourth roared and reached out to pick up the meat. 'Guan Yunchang Jingzhou scrapes bones! The fifth couldn't wait to snatch the bone. 'Zhuge Liang grows vegetables in the middle of the dragon! The sixth arrogantly took the last green. The dishes were all finished, and when the six people were happily preparing to laugh at Su Shi while eating, Su Shi was like a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, which made the beasts frightened and said calmly: 'Qin Shi Huang annexed the six countries! After speaking, he brought all the six dishes to himself, and said with a smile: "Brothers, please! 'Six people were stunned. ”

"God, how does Su Shi's brain grow? It's overwhelming. Concubine Wen said with sincere appreciation.

As soon as Liu Meiren heard about the "annexation of the Six Kingdoms", she shouted in a lost voice: "I see who annexes the Six Kingdoms, it has nothing to do with us at all, until someone eats a dish of fine light, hum, how can I bear it?" ”

"That's right." Jade Butterfly also understood.

Concubine Wen found out that they were eavesdropping, which was very uncomfortable, and ordered the two of them to invite them over and sit down.

"Well, Dongpo is a good place, as the saying goes, 'sunny flowers and trees are easy to spring', dare to ask the eldest brother, why did Master Su name it 'Dongpo'?"

"Concubine Wen, this really has to be studied. Su Shi called himself 'Dongpo Jushi' for two reasons: First, in February of the third year of Song Shenzong Yuanfeng (1080), Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou because of the 'Wutai Poetry Case', and served as the deputy envoy of Huangzhou regimental training, and his position was indeed not flattering. When he first arrived in Huangzhou, Su Shi was lonely and had a difficult life, and Huangzhou sentenced Ma Zhengqing to be his old friend, so he asked from the state capital for the 50 acres of old military camp land that had been barren for him to plant. The camp is located on the eastern slope of Huangzhou, in the spring of the following year, Su Shi built a snow hall on it, and the title is called 'Dongpo Snow Hall', making "Snow Hall Records". ”

Buddha Yin took a few sips of refreshing jasmine tea, and then said: "Second, Su Shi admires the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi very much. Bai Ju, who served in the Tang Dynasty, hurt the country when he was susceptible, and offended the powerful ministers at that time, and was demoted to the history of Zhongzhou Thorn. In adversity, Bai Juyi sought pleasure by himself, and often went to the eastern slope of Chungju City to plant flowers and trees, 'enjoying the joy of leisure', and formed an indissoluble bond with the eastern slope. In his poems when he lived in Chungju, there were many recitations of 'Dongpo'. For example, "Planting Flowers on the Eastern Slope": "Buy flowers and trees with money, and plant them on the eastern slope of the city." "Step on the East Slope": "Step up the east slope, walk on the east slope at night." Dongpo what to love, love this new tree. Su Shi thought that his situation when he belittled Huangzhou was quite similar to Bai Juyi's derogatory situation in Zhongzhou, so he took Bai Juyi's favorite "Dongpo" as his name. "Su Dongpo" is also famous all over the world and has been passed down through the ages. ”

"Qingmei feels that Bai Juyi is full of 'elegance' on the eastern slope, and Bachelor Su is full of 'vulgarity' on the eastern slope, but this icing on the cake and self-reliance is elegant in nature and belongs to the spiritual category of beauty and goodness." Concubine Wen commented seriously.
