Chapter 152: Sunny Plum Meal, Sea-style Bath Soup.
Seeing that Concubine Wen was a little depressed, he didn't know that Concubine Wen was very happy. Sadness is just a faint touch, like admiring a small peach blossom forest in the distance, if there is nothing. "On the Pingshan Hall, the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are pillowed, and there is no lonely Hong. Recognize the drunkard's language, and the mountains are in the middle of nothing. "As long as you think that there are still these incomparably beautiful poems in the world, where is there still sorrow in this palace?" Ouyang Drunkard" and "Su Xianweng", can chant "the mountains are in the middle", and the concubine can push the "sorrowful thoughts", life is so beautiful, it will definitely live up to the time, and be happy in time.
Thinking of tonight's peach blossom bath, I thought of Mr. Su's "A little Haoran, a thousand miles of fast wind." Concubine Wen commanded: "My Fuqing misses my father." Hurry up! Come back twice as strong! Chase the wind with electricity! â
"Who's missing whom, do you understand?" Security said with a smile.
"Don't guess the meaning of the phoenix." Concubine Wen said with a smile.
After about 12 hours of hurrying and hurrying, Concubine Wen and her party finally returned to the palace.
After a few days of thick clouds and dense rain, Concubine Liu Xian was like a dry stream, generously injected with spring water, flowing lively day and night, moistening the ridges, weeds, blue sky and white clouds, not to mention how confident she was. Her personal maid Huang Ying Bailing seems to be a lot more relaxed, dreaming all day long, and exchanging interesting dreams all day long. Concubine Xian, the whole person has come back to life, Xiaoqu'er does not leave her mouth all day long, and her waist is still twisted, she is deeply grateful to her mother in the bottom of her heart, giving her this good figure of a fox and seducing the lord. Before, she had never felt that her figure was a little like Liu Si!
I heard that Concubine Wen and her entourage have returned to the palace, is this worth it? Concubine Xian was so shocked that her face was pale, and she thought to herself: This is miserable, maybe this demon girl will be fascinated by Banzai again, it is unimaginable, indescribable, if Benhou is pregnant with a dragon fetus, maybe it will scare Benhou away!
However, he must not lose his original queen's demeanor, so he took a deep breath, and with the help of Huang Ying Bailing, Shi Li said: "Welcome Concubine Wen back to the palace." â
"Empress Xie, Sister Concubine Xie." Concubine Wen and her entourage replied.
The safety and others sent the plum vegetables and dried plum vegetables into the imperial dining room, and briefly taught them how to make plum vegetables and how to make dried plum vegetables porridge.
"Safety, what do Concubine Wen want to eat at noon today?" Dong Guo Fan, the director of the imperial dining room, asked with a smile.
"I guess Niangniang, I like 'eat in the moment' the most."
"What do you mean?" Dong Guo Fan looked puzzled.
"After a few days of playing, your kid has become as happy as a fairy? has also become like Concubine Wen Niangniang, who can't speak out of tune. Yan Fuyao also quipped.
"I heard my mother say on the way, if you eat, you have to eat some local characteristics in time. Don't spoil these local specialties, especially dried plum vegetables, it is called 'eat in the moment', Niang Niang said on the road, saying that when he sees long live, he will use Huizhou characteristics to hang his tricky appetite. â
'Oh, thanks for the advice. Dongguo Fan happily thanked, like a treasure, today's dinner is finally available, because since Concubine Wen left, long live inexplicably lost his appetite, I really want to put what unicorn and flying dragon's liver, phoenix bone marrow, leopard's placenta to change the pattern for Emperor Xu, the whole dining room, in order to capture the holy "dragon heart", can be described as racking their brains, day or night, pondering and pondering all the time, bowing their heads in the imperial dining room, frowning, turning around, seeing the palace maids and inner eunuchs almost nodded dizzy.
As soon as Concubine Wen and the other beauties went back, they went into the palace to rest, and the maids each brought two basins of hot water and face towels for the beauties, and after simply washing their faces and feet, they rested for about an hour.
At the lunch feast, Emperor Xu saw this unique meal and had a great appetite.
Today's lunch is half an hour late, and these subordinates really don't take the majesty of the royal family to heart! Concubine Xian originally wanted to lose her temper, but when she saw Emperor Xu's dragon face and great joy, when she browsed the dishes, she was smiling and smiling, and the overflowing joy was so happy that she could hold it in the palm of her hand, so it was inconvenient to have a seizure.
The food supervisor reported with a pretentious situation: "Concubine Wen Niangniang brought back salted plum vegetables from Huizhou, dried plum vegetables, today's lunch, the imperial dining room worked together to make a big meal with plum vegetables as the theme, begging to live long live and the ladies laughed. They are plum cabbage button cod, plum cabbage chicken wings, plum cabbage prawns, plum cabbage scallop steamed chicken, plum cabbage steamed grass carp (note: the same pronunciation as "call", grass carp, also known as "grass carp"), plum cabbage Huaishan pot pork rib soup, plum cabbage steamed bitter gourd, plum cabbage steamed kale, plum cabbage button pork ribs, plum cabbage steamed eggplant and dried plum cabbage rice, lettuce tofu soup, vegetarian fried moss heart, leek yam fungus porridge, steamed taro. â
In the past, Emperor Xu didn't like to speak at the banquet, but today, he couldn't help but boast: "These delicacies cooked from plum vegetables are really fragrant." Aifei, you say, is this the aroma of plum vegetables, or the aroma of various fish and meat? â
"It's probably the masterpiece of plum vegetables." Concubine Wen said nonsense.
When Concubine Xian saw these dishes, she suddenly became angry, and shouted in a lost voice: "Are there any rules in this imperial dining room?" This black dish, you said, this is a 'moldy' dish, a musty dish, and it is actually used by the Lord of Long Live to poison the saint? â
Concubine Wen thought: "During this birthday, how can you let yourself lose your joy, how can you make everyone sad for no reason?" Otherwise, it will be difficult to have a happy new year. This virtuous concubine must be eating my jealousy again, does she really not know, 'plum vegetables' are not the same as 'moldy vegetables', simply, or to convince people with intelligence and strength, benevolence and virtue all over the world! â
Concubine Wen took the lead in eating, she savored the salted plum vegetables full of sunshine fragrance, accompanied by a large piece of cod, and suddenly full of vitality.
Concubine Wen held the chopsticks, without any intention of putting them down, looked at Concubine Xian happily, and said slowly: "Sister, do you know? In my eyes, this plum vegetable is more fragrant than plum blossoms. â
"It's obviously a moldy dish, but it's so fragrant by you." Concubine Xian still said aggressively and angrily. (Note: Du, the sound is the same as "more".) īš
"Sister, those who don't know are not guilty, perhaps, your hometown calls 'plum vegetables' 'dried pickles', right?" Concubine Wen said kindly.
"Yes, yes, sister, you see that I am 5 years older than you for nothing, I'm sorry." Concubine Xian was ashamed.
"I've heard that 'ten miles of different days' refers to the weather. Well, as for the local customs and the names of various things, they are also different, and there is nothing about it. It seems that in the future, the women of our royal family can no longer be frogs at the bottom of the well, and we must travel outside more to enjoy and increase our knowledge. Concubine Wen said empathetically.
Everyone looked at them with joy and convincingness, and at the same time, Concubine Xian's words made everyone happy, "Haha, plum vegetables, moldy vegetables, I heard of them for the first time." The beauties smiled in their hearts and said in their hearts.
"Aifei, this dish is really like stinky tofu, is it fragrant when it is moldy?" Emperor Xu was also confused.
"Long live Hui and sister, this plum vegetable, there are two theories, one is that it is said that this huge green vegetable, there is a goddess called 'Mei Xiangu', who gave the seeds of this vegetable to the people of Huizhou, and the green vegetables stained with fairy spirit naturally grow so vigorous and huge."
Emperor Xu hadn't heard Concubine Wen talk about it for a few days, and he was very eager for it, so he immediately asked, "What about the second one?" â
"That's my opinion, please don't laugh." Concubine Wen was embarrassed.
"This dish is obtained from hard work, containing a certain strange fragrance, this fragrance has nothing similar to it so far, but it is so strong, only the aroma of plum blossoms can be compared, so it is called 'plum vegetables'."
"Interesting, I hope that this statement of the concubine can be passed down to the world, even for a long time." Emperor Xu said with a smile.
"Aifei, what do you gain from this trip? First of all, you will tell me how this plum vegetable is made, I have heard that the people of the Great Song Dynasty are known for their diligence and simplicity. â
"Well, although I am tired, I can't defeat the saint's interest. Let's talk about this dried plum cabbage first, that is, the fresh plum vegetables, that is, the kind of big green vegetables grown in the imperial vegetable garden, wash, and then boil them briefly with boiling water for a while, and finally expose them to the sun until they are dry. â
"And a pickled plum vegetable?" Although Concubine Xian was full of jealousy, she couldn't help but ask.
Concubine Wen put down her chopsticks and replied: "This salted plum dish, mainly produced in Huizhou, belongs to the characteristic traditional famous dishes, and belongs to pickled food. I see that Emperor Xu likes this special dish so much, and it can be used as a 'tribute dish' to enrich my Song royal family in the future, and even entertain foreign guests. The people of Huizhou have already been able to skillfully make and store fresh plum vegetables after cleaning, cooling, selecting, chopping, drying, salting, loading and other processes, its color is golden, or yellow and black and half, the aroma is tangy, refreshing and not greasy, not cold, not dry, not wet, not hot, not only can be a unique dish, but also can be used as ingredients to make a variety of delicacies, like today's meal, dozens of dishes in a grand view, no one can leave the plum vegetables. â
"Oh, it seems that many delicacies are inseparable from the diligence of the people and the credit of the sun. This plum vegetable is indeed a fairy fragrance that contains the fragrance of the earth, the fragrance of people's sweat and the colorful sunshine, which is called the synthesis of three spices. Emperor Xu's words are also insightful, admirable, and beauties have praised them: "What words become pleasant to the ear as soon as they are said, if they are heard by the people of Huizhou, I don't know how happy they are!" â
Concubine Wen sighed in her heart: "Always the pearls are together, the heart and mouth are one, and the form and spirit are unhindered; Everywhere Wenjun Sima, talented and beautiful, happy to become a pair. What do you want in this life? â
Although Concubine Wen was very tired, she still heard the word "fairy fragrance", and was deeply impressed and praised: "Long live the eloquent one, Qingmei greatly admired." Isn't it? This warm sunshine comes from the sky, and there is naturally a fairy spirit, sprinkling endless fairy fragrance for the world. Once again, I thought about the many wonders of sunshine. No wonder people who have been exposed to the sun have a happy temperament; Sun-dried animals have shiny fur and love to jump around; The sun-dried flowers are transparent and light, unlike those flowers in the dense forest, which are heavy and melancholy; Rice that has been sun-dried has a surprisingly grainy aroma; Sun-dried quilts and clothes have a warm scent. â
Hahaha! The imperial concubines were so happy by the "warm fragrance" that they all vomited rice and vomited, and then, the beauties actually smelled their sleeves seriously, and the eighth sister said: "It's true, the smell of this sunshine can really be described as 'can only be understood, not spoken'." â
Concubine Wen thought quietly: "This feeling can only be like two feelings, that is, sincere friendship and fiery love." This is a kind of warmth that can be touched, warm in the skin, warm in the eyes, warm to the bottom of the heart, warm to the deepest part of the soul. â
"At the banquet, if there is no concubine, the food is not fragrant." The eighth sister said with a smile.
At the dinner table, the Imperial Chef presented garlic pork ribs, seaweed stewed pork ribs and boiled radish greens, as well as a bowl of poultry eggs per person, and prepared a large portion of quail eggs for Emperor Xu and Concubine Wen.
Tasting the craftsmanship of the imperial kitchen, Concubine Wen felt extremely happy, and she could always taste new dishes.
Seeing that Concubine Wen was attracted by garlic pork ribs, everyone also raised their mouths to taste. What kind of delicious meal is this? The rainbow-like bend, the bottom of the plate is covered with white radishes carved into clouds, and the curved rainbow is driven on it.
Concubine Wen asked Emperor Xu to taste it first, and then the concubines raised their chopsticks. Everyone was silent, savoring this newly developed dish.
"Aifei, I really can't describe this delicious dish, you can help me."
"Qingmei, I'm also a little embarrassed, I can only say some vague words, this ribs, let's use the ten-point system to comment, one point salty, two points oily, three points glutinous, four points garlic, it is really evocative, I don't recognize the chopsticks."
"Well, Su Aiqing once had a poem, 'The taste of the world is Qinghuan.' In my opinion, the taste of the world is also strong, like this rib, how fat. Only moderation is a valuable ear! â
Hearing about "Qinghuan", Concubine Wen understood and sent the crystal white radish slices and all kinds of green vegetables to the imperial bowl.
"I'd like to give it a name, 'Count it as your incense', do you like it?" Concubine Wen volunteered to ask for instructions.
"Like it or not, just answer with this empty plate." Emperor Xu said seriously.
After the meal, Emperor Xu walked with Concubine Wen for a while. I didn't expect there to be a small peach tree in the garden. Admiring the flowers and trees with a bit of jewelry, Concubine Wen took Emperor Xu's warm hand and couldn't help but say to the saint: "Brother Xu, thank you for meeting you in the most beautiful years, just like this peach blossom, blooming in the most suitable month of March, just to welcome our short stop and gaze." â
Emperor Xu was very moved, and asked with concern: "Concubine Ai, these days in Su Aiqing's treasure land, you have been playing wild, and you are tired, right?" â
"Long live those who know me." Concubine Wen smiled, she wanted to be a peach blossom in early spring, just for Emperor Xu's "initial" affection, just like her original true feelings!
"Have you ever had any regrets?"
"Yes, I'm too tired to go to the beach, and tonight, I'd like to experience the fun of sea bathing with you."
"Lovely Wenjun, I'm looking forward to it!" Emperor Xu smiled.
"No, how can you condescend to be 'Sima'?"
"Ai Fei Chaye, I am talking about 'Concubine Wen', referred to as 'Concubine Wen'."
"I didn't expect the solemn emperor, who was sitting in a precarious position, also learned to talk nonsense."
"Hooray, flop, please!" The dormitory warden raised his eyebrows respectfully and begged.
"What flop? An ignorant father-in-law. Emperor Xu looked disdainful, and the chamberlain retired.
"Hey, he doesn't even know what it means to 'cut first and then play', he has little culture, it's terrible!" Concubine Wen said with a smile.
Summer flowers and autumn leaves have been instructed by Concubine Wen to prepare a sea-style bath soup. There were dots of pink peach petals floating on the soup noodles, which made Emperor Xu also refreshed, and he thought alone: "I didn't expect that my dynasty actually has two living people, one is Su Aiqing, and the other is my concubine." â
The round Hetian jade is decorated with soft sponges, and countless kelps are "planted" in the bath soup, and Concubine Wen fiddles with the bath soup. These brown kelps, generous and generous, immediately take on an eel-like dance in the soup. The entire bathing palace was instantly filled with a slightly fishy and alluring ocean atmosphere, which suddenly made Emperor Xu have an inexplicable impulse......
After a few days of fatigue on the saddle horse, Concubine Wen felt very tired, and she wanted to wash off the dirt in this luxurious bathtub in an instant, wash away the fatigue, and wash the mandarin duck feelings of "just going and returning".
She knelt on the beautiful lotus throne made of the sea, handed over the loofah to her labor, and retired with interest. Concubine Wen glanced at this little thing with clear meridians, half soft and half steel, and Emperor Xu knew that this was Concubine Ai asking for his help.
Concubine Wen played with the swarthy Bodhi fruit in the bathtub, tenderness overflowed her whole body, and she thought happily: "I can get the sole favor of Long Live in this life, as if I am always at the top of happiness." Even if you die soon, you won't have any regrets! After thinking about it, she gently grabbed the soft orange coral as a bathing product, wiped the whole body for Emperor Xu, and then the emperor and concubine decorated the dragon body and phoenix body with slightly salty and slightly fishy seaweed. Hee-hee-ha, non-stop, that is, after half an hour like this, he "went ashore shyly".
