498 Whole Egg Feast
Full moon wine refers to a banquet set up for the first month of the birth of a baby.
The Yue people believe that the baby survives for a month after birth to survive a difficult time, and at this time, parents usually hold a full moon ceremony to celebrate the child's passage and wish the newborn healthy growth.
The ceremony involves inviting friends and family to witness and pray for the child's blessings.
"Oh, Mr. Guan, Mr. Xie, Mr. Han, Mr. Yang, please come in, please come in!"
After a good discussion, several old men came together, and Lu Zhi, the new father, was naturally overjoyed and hurried to welcome him.
"Do whatever you need to do, leave us alone." Old General Guan waved his hand, "Anyway, we didn't come to see you." ”
The smile on Lu Zhi's face has not diminished, the old people like children, there is nothing wrong with this, "The lady and Xia Er are in the hall, and the children are quite fond of seeing people, and they are giggling all the time." ”
The ladies are the eldest sister Lu Shihan's group of people, all those who are related to the family have come, they are not only more crowded, but also more active, much earlier than these male guests.
"I'm not afraid of being good." General Guan took the lead, and went straight to the hall.
Mr. Guan is a person who has come over, and he knows deeply that children are still the most fun when they are young, and there is a lot less fun when they are as old as Guan Qing.
Of course, with the identity of Mr. Guan, he belongs to the kind of person who doesn't need to coax the child, and naturally he will not have any "three-day suspicion" emotions, and he is full of happiness in teasing the child.
Regarding the old general, Scholar Xie and Yang Shangshu also hurriedly followed.
This is also the full moon of the child, if it is replaced by an ordinary banquet, these old men, you just can't invite them.
However, Han Zhibing was not in a hurry to leave, he pulled Lu Zhi to the corner, and took out a document from his sleeve with a smile on his face, "There is nothing to send, this is for you." ”
Lu Zhizheng wanted to open it to see what it was, but was held down by Han Zhibing, "It's not a big gift, I'll look at it when I'm free, ah, that, the old man will go to see the child." ”
Aren't they all about sending some longevity locks, peace bracelets, jade Buddhas, cinnabar bracelets or something, avoiding evil spirits and blessings, wishing children peace and security, what does this mean by sending documents?
Although Lu Zhi was puzzled, he was not in a hurry to read what was written on the paperwork, after all, Han Shangshu had specially said that he would wait until the banquet was over.
…………
This is in Da Yue, the full moon wine can also be called "eating full moon eggs", and unlike other banquets, the host family will prepare in advance and give red eggs as souvenirs to the guests attending the banquet.
According to the convention, the Lu family also prepared 4 "red eggs" for each guest, so that they could take them home and eat, and they were all happy.
Lu Zhi had deliberately learned in advance that considering some factors, mainly poverty, the folk would generally replace the "red eggs" that should be boiled with raw eggs dyed red.
Of course, the Lu family must be hard-boiled eggs, and the guests are not the ones who miss those eggs, just like what is written in "The Burrow", the Lu family is a typical "talk and laugh with Confucianism, and there is no white ding"
This is nothing, Chen Youqian has experience in making full moon wine, and he also boiled this "red egg" into a trick.
Like what kind of annunciation red eggs, pastry red eggs, egg yolk crisp or something, it is both delicious and exquisite.
Lu Zhi was busy before and after, his stomach was empty, and he also took the time to taste a few kinds, to be honest, Chen Youqian was mainly a gimmick.
What is the Annunciation red egg, it is actually a brine egg.
It tastes more flavorful than ordinary boiled eggs, coupled with Chen Youqian's use of some unique cooking techniques, as well as this red outer packaging, it looks extraordinarily festive and is widely acclaimed.
Relatively speaking, Lu Zhi prefers pastries and red eggs, which are filled with various fillings, and the outside is made into the shape of an egg, and the outer part is crunchy puff pastry, which is called delicious.
As for the egg yolk crisp, this should be Lu Zhi's creativity, it is evolved from moon cakes, the salted duck egg yolk embedded with oil, and the layers of puff pastry are covered, which is an authentic Chinese flavor.
To be honest, in Lu Zhi's opinion, this full moon wine should be called a whole egg banquet.
…………
A few days later, Lu Zhi was invited to Wangcheng to have another all-egg banquet, which was not unusual, after all, the little prince An Zheng was only born a few days later than Lu Xia.
Looking at the various eggs on the entire banquet, Lu Zhi's heart actually refused, no matter how good you are, you will get tired of eating too much.
However, King Yue didn't give him a chance to continue to be hypocritical, and a decree urgently invited him to go to the imperial study for a secret talk.
When Lu Zhi saw this situation, he quickly grabbed a few pastries and red eggs and pinched them in his hand, eating them as he walked, well, the skills of the imperial chef are really good.
Hey, no, it's not a question of whether it's good or not, it's a matter of joy, √, it's called joy!
…………
The Imperial Study.
After Lu Zhi entered, he found that there were two people, one was King Yue and the other was Uncle Jiang.
"Father, Uncle Guo!" Lu Zhi gave his hands one by one, and he didn't think much about Uncle Jiang Guo, who didn't often appear, this person was the queen's younger brother, and the queen gave birth to a little prince, so he should be here.
"Hmm." King Yue nodded and gestured, "No formality, just find a place to sit." ”
Lu Zhi took a look, this is the rhythm of nagging?
So he took out the pastry red egg that he had hidden in his sleeve and prepared to sit down and talk while eating.
Although Lu Zhi and Uncle Jiang Guo are not familiar with each other, to be honest, they are not outsiders.
"What do you think about the succession to the throne?" As soon as King Yue opened his mouth, it was a thunderbolt, and Uncle Jiang also stared at Lu Zhi with his eyes.
"Ahem~~~" Lu Zhi almost choked to death when he ate slowly, "This, Erchen ...... Sit and watch? ”
"Hey, I'll be serious with you, and you'll know it's a joke." King Yue glared at Lu Zhi, and then shook his head, "You don't want to say it, don't you dare to have ideas?" ”
"Father is wise!" Lu Zhi is exactly this idea, what is his identity? How dare you talk about succession?
The anticipation in Uncle Jiang Guo's eyes was extinguished at once, but he didn't say much, just stood quietly beside King Yue.
One thing to say, Lu Zhi is the husband of the lord of Taiping, and their kinship is still quite close, but the two have almost no friendship, so they really can't speak.
"King Fu is the same thing, you, as a royal family, you really don't have any responsibility." King Yue was embarrassed, and he didn't know who he was complaining about.
However, according to Lu Zhi's opinion, the main thing should be about King Fu.
You think, only King Fu is the royal family of the root Miao Hong, and his identity as the county master is a little strange no matter how you look at it.
The most obvious point is that he is not rich, and the child is not surnamed An, so he should be regarded as a relative?
