The night of the winter solstice came earlier than usual.

At the beginning of the unitary, it was already twilight.

After the trip to the orphanage, Yao Huan took Meituan and hurried to his aunt's house in Qingjiangfang, Dongshuimen to have a winter solstice reunion dinner.

This was the first holiday banquet after his uncle and aunt remarried, and Shen Fuzhi was very moved.

The best offal on weekdays is in the water, and I don't do it.

Huan'er grinded out the five-flavor chicken feet, don't do it.

Even the soft sheep steamed rice and mutton soup dumplings that Kaifeng people value the most, Shen Fuzhi did not prepare.

What she presented to her family was a table meal with the flavor of her hometown Qiantang.

Uncle Cai Yingwen looked at the case, and his heart was already full of joy.

Steamed grass carp, simmered river shrimp with leeks, braised white eel with black vegetables, sliced pork with soy sauce with winter bamboo shoots, spring vegetable plate.

"Fuzhi has a really good memory, these are my favorite dishes when I lived in Hangzhou with her."

The uncle took advantage of the fact that his aunt was cooking glutinous rice dumplings in the stove, and he smiled and "showed off" to Yao Huan and Ru Zhou, the two juniors.

Yao Huan had doubts because of what he encountered today, and he couldn't ignore this ancient uncle who loved to sprinkle dog food more than modern men, and hurriedly said: "Good dishes must be accompanied by good words, and my uncle sings a word?" ”

"Hey, I have self-knowledge, and the words I fill in are neither worthy of the people of Fuzhi nor worthy of the dishes of Fuzhi."

Uncle waved his hand and said, "I'll tell you about the mystery of this dish." ”

"Hangzhou cuisine is divided into two types: lake cuisine and city cuisine. The former mostly uses fresh vegetables in the water such as aquarium fish and shrimp or water chestnut, while the latter mostly uses livestock and poultry with thick oil red sauce. ”

"For example, this steamed grass carp is a dish on the lake. Huan'er, do you know that this fish has been starved by your aunt for three days in a big wooden basin, so that it has lost its grassy atmosphere. When steaming, put the empty bamboo steamer in the pot first, let the water boil over high heat, and then put the fish pot in after the steam fills the whole pot. In this way, the fish is cooked inside and out in a short time, and there will be no rough aging of the skin and rebirth of the backbone. In addition to the shredded green onion and wine as a seasoning, the back of the fish is cut into the seams, and the ham slices thin into the cicada wings are also spread. The meat oil and gas of pork are the best match for the freshness and sweetness of the water of grass carp. ”

The uncle-in-law is too learned and righteous, and he is talking about his wife's masterpiece, and he is full of emotion.

Because he pointed to the ruddy and shiny sauce meat slices and said: "Another example is this winter bamboo shoots soy sauce meat, which is used to marinate pork belly, not the ordinary soybean soy sauce in the market, but the silkworm chrysalis soy sauce that the people in the Suhu area loved to make in the past." ”

Yao Ruzhou looked at the bowl of sauce and began to lick his lips.

But this little doll knows?

Aunt at home doesn't serve at home?

No one can move chopsticks, so they have to endure saliva?

Continue to be a good listener to my sister.

"Can silkworm chrysalis make soy sauce?" Yao Huan heard of it for the first time.

"Auntie didn't teach you?" Cai Yingwen said.

Yao Huan was stunned?

immediately reacted, the "eldest aunt" in the uncle's mouth?

refers to the mother of Miss Yao, who is sent by herself.

She prevaricated: "Mother said that she didn't say it, I really don't remember." Is Gyeongju the western frontier?

Where is the sericulture water town?

I've never seen a soybean paste made from silkworm chrysalis. ”

While talking, Shen Fuzhi and Meituan walked in with two large pots of lard, sesame and glutinous rice dumplings.

She listened to her husband's enthusiastic comments on the dishes, and also smiled and said, "Your uncle is right, silkworm chrysalis can be used to feed chickens?"

Can it also be crushed into powder after exposure to the sun?

It is made with soybeans and is particularly fragrant. ”

Shen Fuzhi said, looked carefully at Yao Huan's face, and asked softly: "Huan'er, are you tired in the orphanage today?" When you just walked in the door?

The face is not good. ”

Yao Huan listened to secret words that he shouldn't have heard during the day, and he was uneasy?

At this time, he hurriedly cheered up and responded to Shen Fuzhi: "I am indeed a little tired, and I am still hungry." ”

Shen Fuzhiguaner?

Quickly picked up a spring vegetable plate made of shredded radish and leek leaves, and came to the door to say a few words to the heavens?

Then pull out a fine incense stick that is inserted in the raw radish puree on the plate and has the meaning of worshipping the ancestors?

Turn around and put a large dish plate on the table?

Pour in rice vinegar sesame oil, sprinkle a pinch of white sesame seeds, and mix well.

A moist sweet and sour breath suddenly spreads, complementing the aroma of fish and shrimp.

At this moment, my aunt's face was ruddy, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were dyed with contented joy.

Happy families are all alike.

In Kaifeng City, many happy families are indispensable to a hostess like Shen Fuzhi.

For them, they are very tired and busy, but they can still live a life as beautiful as fresh steamed fish, smooth shrimp, fatty and glutinous river eel, fragrant pork, and refreshing seasonal vegetables.

Being able to reunite with the family and laugh during the New Year is the greatest satisfaction.

Shen Fuzhi pursed his lips and said: "I have given my ancestors, although we can't eat Zhong Ming Ding in the mortal world, but we can earn food and clothing, there is no shortage of meat and vegetables at the banquet of the Winter Solstice Festival, Jun Yi treats me well, Huan'er and Ruzhou are even more obedient, please continue to bless our ancestors, everyone is safe and smooth." Come, move chopsticks, eat! ”

……

A crescent moon hangs in the middle of the sky, the light is faint, and the night sky in the middle of winter is more and more quiet and cold.

Yao Huan couldn't sleep, looked out the window for a while, simply got up and wrapped his winter coat and went to the courtyard.

The pond where crayfish are raised, the clear water of the pond reflects the moonlight, but it is silent.

Yao Huan looked at the shadowy mud hole where the crayfish hibernated.

The simple words heard in the orphanage during the day are surprisingly informative.

She's a time-traveler!

With the knowledge reserve of modern people reading history, she can't ignore that in the next few years, several major events will happen in the former dynasty and harem of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Xuanren" is the nickname of Zhao Xu's deceased grandmother and Empress Dowager Gao.

The historical "Xuanren's False Accusation" incident tells that Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, was instigated by the New Party, and suspected that when Emperor Shenzong was driving, Empress Dowager Gao had wanted to set up her other son, that is, Zhao Xu's imperial uncle, as the Son of Heaven.

The new party led by Zhang Dun, Cai Bian and others was persecuted by the old party she supported during the reign of the Empress Dowager Xuanren, so she hoped to completely purge the old party forces in the court by abolishing the Empress Dowager Xuanren.

With Zhao Xu's acquiescence, Zhang Xuan instructed Cheng Xing Shu in the imperial history to torture the inner servants and close ministers left by the Empress Dowager Xuanren, forcing them to slander the Empress Dowager Xuanren for being unfavorable to Zhao Xu's succession.

Zhao Xu's mother-in-law and Xuanren's daughter-in-law reported to the Queen Mother that she ran to Zhao Xu to cry in the middle of the night without even wearing shoes, and strongly advised him not to do such an unkind and unjust act. It just so happened that at this time, there was another natural disaster in the Central Plains, and Si Tianjian explained that the heavens were angry, and Zhao Xu tore up and burned the scrap scrap handed over by Zhang Dan, and no longer mentioned the matter.

At the same time as Xuanren's accusation, in the upcoming third year of Shaosheng (1096 AD), Zhang Dian united with Liu Guifei to slander Empress Meng for practicing witchcraft in the palace, thus causing the Son of Heaven Zhao Xu to depose Empress Meng in anger.

Throughout history, how many harem events have reflected the power struggles of the previous dynasty.

The stigmatization of the late Empress Dowager Xuanren and the framing and expulsion of Empress Meng are in fact a reflection of the fierce party feud——- the New Party wants to completely purge the Yuanyou party.

But Yao Huan didn't expect that the real details of Empress Meng's deposed incident would be much more cruel than the few records in the history books.

A few hours ago, on the way back from the orphanage, Yao Huan thought about those words over and over again.

Two women, one said that it was not easy to get out of the palace, and the other said that she could enter the palace. The two of them, the former should be palace people, but when they come to Futian Courtyard to deliver supplies, they are definitely not concubines with a position or palace maids in their pavilion.

The latter was able to enter the palace and said, "Fuqing likes me"......

Fuqing, Fuqing......

Princess Fuqing!

The princess born to Queen Meng!

If it weren't for the afterlife, if he didn't know about the case that was about to happen that caused the Meng family to be sent to Yaohua Palace for solitary confinement, Yao Huan would definitely not have been able to guess the meaning of these words so quickly.

and guessing the identity of one of them......
