Chapter 437: Lychee
She is a little nine-grade female history, and she is still not qualified to eat in the hall of the Library Pavilion.
Liu Chenxing picked up the food box and returned to her small office.
Don't look at her small and narrow office, it is estimated that in order to avoid suspicion, the small office inside that is separated by the ladder on the second floor was originally used by Zheng Dianshu, but because she came, Zheng Dianshu has been working in the first cross-courtyard recently, so he comes over every morning and evening.
And Sun Dian's books were cleaned out of the History Museum, and the history museum is such a noble yamen, and someone must have immediately topped it, because he is a newcomer, he is also familiar with Zheng Dianshu across the courtyard.
In this way, the library pavilion has become her own world.
A person can be as comfortable as he wants, there has been a long time, that is, more than one o'clock in the modern afternoon, almost three hours from the morning meal, the meal time was very regular before, this meal is an hour late, people are very uncomfortable.
Therefore, as soon as I sat down at the long desk in the office, I couldn't wait to open the food box.
It's been an hour since the food was baked, but it is worthy of being a well-known history museum, and it is still full of color, flavor, and flavor.
After the Duanyang Festival on the fifth day of the first month of May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and if you stay in the open dam for a while during the day, you will be sweating, and the beads of sweat will be the size of beans from your forehead, and the publicly-funded meals of the History Museum will naturally be adjusted according to the solar terms.
Today, there is a big dish of sheep in the hall, and it is a dish that is hot in some summers, and the rest of the dishes are relatively in line with the solar terms.
There is no ice cube to chill the sashimi, but fortunately, she doesn't like to eat sashimi, so there is less pollution in the Middle Ages, and there are relatively few bacteria on the fish.
In summer, cold noodles are indispensable, and the noodles are smeared with a layer of oil, so that the noodles will not paste off after a long time, and the seasoning is separated from the noodles to ensure the taste of the noodles to the greatest extent.
In addition, the side dishes on the cold noodles are also worth mentioning, not to mention the two standard side dishes such as shredded cucumber and shredded pear, as well as shredded chicken and shiitake mushrooms, as well as the favorite ginger shreds, which are full of side dishes and noodles mixed together.
Lotus root is the favorite dish of people in summer, there are planted lotus roots in the north and south, and a considerable industry has already been formed, but nowadays the lotus root produced in Suzhou is of the best quality, and it is listed as a tribute, Liu Chenxing can't eat much where this lotus root is produced, but I heard the miscellaneous eunuchs who sent the food to say that the lotus root in the summer of the history museum is a tribute from Suzhou, it can be said that every bite is money, and this is also made into glutinous rice lotus, put a lot of honey, a word is expensive!
There is also a plate of roasted goose meat, a plate of golden silk jujube cake, and finally a plate of after-dinner fruit, which is actually melon and fresh lychee.
At this time, lychees, only Lingnan is produced, it is not a trivial matter to transport lychees from Lingnan to Chang'an, although there are only five lychees in a plate, but they can't stand the current lychees are priceless, and during the Tianbao years of the Celestial Empire, there is a poem called "A ride on the red dust concubine laughs, no one knows that it is a lychee".
Looking at these lunches in the History Museum, Liu Chenxing couldn't help but sigh once again that the treatment of the History Museum was extremely good, and he was afraid that the powerful families in Chang'an would only eat these.
Teacher Jiang Mo is an invisible rich man who lives in a farmhouse, a few days ago she went to practice calligraphy, and there were lychees brought out, and these five lychees were not taken to offer ugliness, and the people in the family removed her, just five people, and the number was just right.
It's been almost three months since she came to the History Museum, and the miscellaneous eunuchs on errand know her habits, and they will pack and take away delicious food every ten days and a half months, anyway, the bite saved is her own, and no one can say that she takes advantage of the public, so she puts a yellow oilskin paper in the food box of each of her meals.
The taste of lychees spoiled too quickly, and now I took the paper and packed it too early, put five lychees on the side of the ice cubes to cool off, and ice them first, today the teacher Jiang Mo went to visit friends in the Guanyin Temple on the original Leyou Plain, and gave her a day off, just after work, she can go home directly with the lychees that are still iced.
Thinking of the appearance of Ye Niang and Grandma eating lychees at home, especially the foodie appearance of the little cousin shouting, Liu Chenxing "fluttered", walked back to the desk from the ice cube under the ladder and sat down, that is, poured the seasoning into the cold noodles, mixed it two or three times, and began to feast.
At this time, the civil servants went to work early and got off work early, Liu Chenxing had this lunch, sorted out the little information that he didn't finish this morning in the office, and he got off work in half an hour.
The sun outside is still hot, that is, in the modern afternoon around three o'clock in the afternoon, it is rare to go home early today to accompany the family, and there are some things I want to talk to my brother Liu Qingshan, Liu Chenxing is unwilling to delay, as soon as he got out of the Daming Palace, he took his horse and went straight to Daozheng Fang.
Chang'an City is studying here, and there are also sending students, but local students are generally day students, so when Liu Chenxing arrived home, his cousin Liu Qinghai also happened to go home, and his brother Liu Qingshan was also with him, and he taught in the library where Liu Qinghai studied, which exempted Liu Qinghai from studying tuition, of course, the cost of pen, ink, paper, inkstone and lunch still had to be paid for by himself.
The brothers and sisters met someone at the door of their homes, accustomed to Liu Chenxing not going home until the curfew drum sounded, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Liu Chenxing come back so early.
Liu Qingshan is already a teacher, and after teaching for two or three months, he is naturally steady, only raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then opened the paper fan pulled out from his waist with a "snap", and still walked over at an unchanged pace.
Liu Qinghai was still the fourteenth young man, and when he ran to Liu Chenxing in three steps and two steps, he asked happily: "Sister, why did you come back so early today?" When he said that, he was simply Liu Chenxing's most obedient and caring little cousin, and he reached out to take the mount and lead it.
Liu Chenxing sat high on the horseback and saw far away, and saw the two cousins coming over, and as soon as they rode to the door, they turned over and dismounted, and then directly threw the reins of the horse to their cousin.
I remembered that I had been immersed in practicing calligraphy and sorting out files recently, and when I came back yesterday and left this morning, I forgot to tell my family about not going to Qujiang today, so I said again: "The teacher visited a friend today, so I came back early in the morning." ”
Liu Qinghai's eyes were sharp, and he was also used to Liu Chenxing coming back with some rare food every other time, seeing Liu Chenxing holding a small packet of butter paper in his hand, his eyes lit up, and his voice was much more enthusiastic than when he saw her just now, and said, "Sister, what delicious food did you bring?" Hahaha, I knew that I would have meat to eat with my sister! ”
Listening to the little cousin's childhood sentence of having meat to eat, Liu Chenxing shook his head and smiled, raised the food in his hand, and said with a smile: "Today is not any meat, but Lingnan lychees, which were packed from ice two quarters of an hour ago, should taste okay." ”
As he spoke, without waiting for Liu Qingshan behind him, the two cousins had already pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the courtyard.
