Chapter 226 Zhengyuan Restaurant, the first banquet in the world

Tang Taizong Li Shimin is here, this is worth it! Not to mention what the purpose of his coming here is for the time being, this micro-service private visit, not to go to other places, go straight to Songzhou, I'm afraid this is not a good thing.

Seeing Fang Erhai's frightened appearance, Wang Qing said with a smile: "I didn't see you so nervous when the Manchu and Han Dynasty were at the banquet, why were you afraid of being like this when you saw the emperor?"

"How can this be compared with the time when the Manchu and Han Dynasty were at the banquet? Have you forgotten Song Huizong? Trapped me in the kitchen of the palace for five years, and almost suffocated me to death! I was thinking, all the emperors in this world should be a virtue. ”

Yu Yan smiled and said, "Dad, how can Song Huizong compare with Li Shimin? I heard my husband say that Li Shimin is a rare good emperor in history. Politician, military strategist, calligrapher, poet. After ascending the throne as the emperor, he actively listened to the opinions of the ministers and worked hard to study the rule of the world, there is an idiom called "If you listen to it, you will be clear and believe in the dark", that is, his, he successfully transformed into one of the most famous politicians and Ming monarchs in Chinese history. ”

"He's not here to get me, is he?"

"Dad, you didn't make any mistakes, why did he arrest you? Besides, do you still need him to arrest you himself? Do you still need him to pay a private visit?"

Fang Erhai thought about it carefully, and it was right. I have no worries and nothing to worry about, and he can't come to arrest me. Then the question arises, he has no clothes to go on patrol, what is the intention of coming to Songzhou?

"Dad, my husband said that this Tang Taizong Li Shimin created the 'rule of Zhenguan' in history, and after taking the initiative to eliminate the separatist forces in various places, humbly accepting advice, practicing economy in the country, and making the people recuperate, the society finally appeared a situation of national peace and security. It laid an important foundation for the heyday of Kaiyuan and pushed China's traditional agricultural society to its heyday. ”

Fang Erhai sighed and said, "May I ask who your husband is?"

"My husband is Fang Yu. As she spoke, Yu Yan made a playful grimace.

Wang Qing said with a smile: "One bite of 'my husband said', you are about to be sweetened to death by the two of you." ”

"Mom!" Yu Yan began to be coquettish again.

Wang Qing said: "Okay, okay, I can't stand you." Don't worry, I will always keep the secret behind your stones. ”

Fang Erhai was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "What is the secret behind the stone?"

Yu Yan was slightly stunned, her white and tender face turned red, and she snorted, "Mom, what are you talking about!"

Wang Qing said: "If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do." I'm really worried that other people will see that I'm so old, and I have to take care of you. ”

Fang Erhai asked, "What happened?"

Yu Yan blushed and whispered, "Mom, you ...... Have you seen them all?"

"Mom knows that you two are very affectionate. But this kind of thing should also be paid attention to. I'm embarrassed if you're not ashamed, and if there's a next time, I won't care about you. ”

Yu Yan was so ashamed that she couldn't wait to find a hole in the ground and go directly into it, concisely asked Fang Erhai to bring a few dishes to the room, and quickly ran away.

Fang Erhai suddenly understood, and couldn't help laughing: "Old woman, it's better for you to be less involved in this kind of thing." The world of their young people, you and I will never understand, just let them go. ”

"I see, these second and third children are like your temper, full of flowery intestines. I don't go to a good bed, but I want to go to the wilderness. What the hell does he think?"

"You ask me, who do I ask? I tell you, I was a young man who behaved. ”

"If you can behave, the sow can go up the tree. ”

"Did you go up the tree?"

"I'm not a pig. Wang Qing was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "Okay, you dead old man, you dare to scold me." ”

Fang Erhai looked up to the sky and laughed, and when he was unprepared, he suddenly "popped" Wang Qing's face and kissed him fiercely.

"You are a dead old man, are you ashamed, are you ashamed, are you ashamed? Indeed, there is a father, and there must be a son. ”

Fang Erhai laughed again. Suddenly, he put on a straight face and said seriously: "Okay, let's stop making trouble, let's get down to business." Bring the dish I prepared last night to the emperor. ”

"Which dish?" For a while, Wang Qing didn't understand.

"What other dish could there be? Of course, it's the Fairy Yao Chi Dance. ”

"But, didn't you say that this dish was ordered by the rich man's family? Later, the people will come to pick up the goods, and you want to eat it for the emperor, what should the people do over there?"

"It stands to reason that I'm a chef and a restaurant, and I don't care about politics. But who is this rich man? The second son asked me to have less contact with him. It shows that the person is not generally bad. ”

"Then you still go to great lengths to make this dish for him?"

"I own a restaurant, and if someone buys it, I sell it. ”

"Then why don't you give it to him now?"

"He dares to rob the emperor with how many heads does he have on his head? This kind of dish, it is not easy to show his hand in front of the emperor, that is to look down on the emperor. What is the identity of the emperor? Can he be compared with ordinary ordinary people? Therefore, the dishes we can come up with must be unique. Go ahead, I have another dish here that is about to be finished, and when the time comes, just send it to the rich man." ”

Wang Qing nodded, and cautiously walked into the room with this "Fairy Yaochi Dance".

There were three people in the room. One is Niu Jinda, who has a full beard but a charitable face, and the other is the emperor who is handsome and majestic, and Yu Yan is chatting happily with the two of them at this time.

When Wang Qing saw it, he hurriedly bowed: "The grass people have seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”

"No need to be polite, I don't want to make too much noise when I go out on patrol this time. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

Seeing Wang Qing coming in, Yu Yan quickly got up, smiled and introduced to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please forgive the introduction of the people's daughter, this is the mother of the people's daughter." ”

Tang Taizong Li Shimin nodded slightly, and said, "But you brought me food?"

Wang Qing barely squeezed out a smile, she could see the nervousness in her heart, and her hands trembled involuntarily. Afraid that she would make a mistake, Yu Yan cautiously knotted it, and suddenly saw a few lines of small words outside, and couldn't help but be stunned: Isn't this the fairy Yaochi dance?

"Open it up and let me see. Li Shimin obviously couldn't wait.

Yu Yan smiled slightly and pointed to the few lines of small print. Only then did Li Shimin see that if you want to taste this feast, read this poem first.

I've never seen this food, and I can still eat this trick. Li Shimin asked suspiciously: "Is there a mystery here?"

Yu Yan stood aside, smiling but not speaking.

"The fairy of Yaochi dances, and the cow girl crosses the bridge on the Qixi Festival. If you are sincere and make a wish, like-minded people will join the mandarin duck. As soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, suddenly, he saw that the cover outside was shaking slightly, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Is this a living thing?"

Yu Yan pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, if you recite a poem, it will move, if you don't believe it, you can try again." ”

The fairy of Yaochi dances, and the cow girl crosses the bridge on the Chinese Valentine's Day. If you are sincere and make a wish, like-minded people will join the mandarin duck. Li Shimin's interest suddenly came up, and he couldn't help but read aloud over and over again.

The outer cover shook even more, and suddenly, like petals, it slowly spread out in all directions. In the center of the bowl, a budding flower bud was surrounded by small flowers all around. As the soup continued to boil and tumble, the small flowers around it also slowly spread out.

"It's unheard of and unseen. Li Shimin couldn't help but exclaim.

But the best is yet to come. As the small flowers around slowly bloomed, this budding bud also slowly bloomed, revealing a "beauty" the size of a thumb inside.

"What a delicate beauty!" Li Shimin exclaimed again.

This "beauty" was wearing a long white dress, and if you looked closely, there was actually a pink "underwear" inside, dancing in the center of the "dance floor", slowly spinning.

In the midst of Li Shimin's exclamations one after another, suddenly the soup was no longer tumbling and boiling, and the "beauty" in the center of the "dance floor" no longer danced, slowly fading off the "clothes" on her body, revealing her delicate figure, and decisively plunged into this "river water".

Just as Li Shimin was surprised and sighed, a bowl of clear soup suddenly rippled, and with a few lines of small words gushing out from the bottom of the soup, it was suddenly fragrant.

"The country is smooth and recovering China, and the people of Tai'an are safe and prosperous. The folk music officials are stable and harmonious, and the society is at ease. ”

Yu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the first word of these four poems is combined, that is: Guotai and Min'an." Under the wise rule of the emperor, the country and the people are safe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. There is such a wise and holy emperor, it is really a blessing for the people and a blessing for the Tang Dynasty!"

As soon as he saw this poem, Li Shimin was immediately overjoyed: "Good poem, really good poem! This is actually a hidden poem, and the skill of composing poetry can be seen!"

Li Shimin couldn't help but take a sip, and suddenly felt that it was incomparably delicious, like a fairyland, lingering, difficult to give up, and couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "This kind of delicious food should be the first banquet in the world!

Yu Yan was happy in her heart, great, the emperor wants an inscription. She hurriedly presented the four treasures of the study room respectfully, only to see Li Shimin's dashing wave, and a few big characters of the dragon flying and phoenix dancing jumped on the paper: Zhengyuan Restaurant, the first banquet in the world. And he did not hesitate to sign and stamp it.

Li Shimin asked, "Who made this dish?"

Yu Yan said: "Emperor Qiqi is my father. ”

"Call him. ”

Where did Wang Qing dare to slack off, and hurriedly called Fang Erhai over. Fang Erhai stood tremblingly in front of the emperor, and after saluting and paying homage, he waited for the emperor's lecture in his heart.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not trying to punish you, I'm going to reward you heavily. ”

Fang Erhai replied: "It is already a great honor for the grass people to be able to get the emperor's affirmation and commendation, where do you dare to ask for a reward?"

"I'm here to ask you, what's the name of this dish?"

"Your Majesty, the name of this dish is Fairy Yao Chi Dance. ”

"You wrote the poem above?"

"The Emperor is my son Fang Yu. ”

"Is that the Songzhou magistrate Fang Yu?"

"Your Majesty, exactly. ”

"Where is he now?"

"Your Majesty, he is waiting outside the door now. ”

"Let him in. ”

Fang Yu entered in response and respectfully performed the courtesy of the monarch and ministers. The movements are very standard, and the words are very decent, Li Shimin couldn't help but nod approvingly.

Li Shimin smiled and walked to the window, gently pushed open the window, and saw the lotus flowers in the pond, he couldn't help but be poetic, turned to Fengyu and said, "Look at the lotus, how beautiful." How about Aiqing use it as a poem?"

Yu Yan couldn't help but be taken aback, this poem is logically speaking, it is difficult for her husband, but now she is going to write a poem for the emperor, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, if you don't get it right, the emperor is likely to turn from joy to anger, and maybe even lose his head.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Fang Yu thought for a long time, and suddenly, he recited affectionately: "Bihesheng Secluded Spring, the morning sun is bright and fresh. Autumn flowers are green water, dense leaves and green smoke. The beautiful color powder is peerless, who is the fragrance of the fragrance? Sit and watch the frost full, withering this red year. If you don't get the roots, you want to be by the pool. ”

"Haha, good poetry!" Li Shimin couldn't help but exclaim, "Aiqing is so talented, this Fang Erhai has such cooking skills, good, really good!"

Suddenly, at this time, there was a noise outside the door, and then someone downstairs began to roar angrily.

"Why don't you serve the food yet? tell me to wait until I can endure it!"

"It's just a matter of not serving, why do you steal the beams and change the pillars? I don't think you want to open this restaurant!"

Fang Erhai said: "The emperor is not surprised, the grass people immediately go out to see what happened?"

He hurried out of the room, but saw the rich man yelling downstairs.

"Rich man, please be calm, the fairy Yaochi dance you want is not yet mature due to time problems. Please come back at this time tomorrow. ”

The rich man pointed at Fang Erhai's nose and scolded: "Why do you want me to wait until tomorrow today?

"No, no, no. It's just that this fairy Yaochi dance is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and I ask the rich man Wang to forgive me. ”

"I want to use it today, but you want me to come back tomorrow, what is your intention? Believe it or not, I will immediately tell you to move your head!"

"Look at my Datang, prosperous, the country and the people are safe, a prosperous scene. I am a restaurant businessman, and I pay attention to the word integrity. I promise you today, tomorrow at this moment, I will definitely present the fairy Yao Chi dance with both hands. At the same time, in order to recover your losses, I will give you another dish. ”

"It's going to be today! I'm afraid I won't be able to open your restaurant. ”

Yu Yan asked, "Father, is it too late if you hurry up?"

Fang Erhai shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, "Even if you do it with both hands and feet at the same time, it's too late." ”

Fang Yu said: "If you smash the Zhengyuan Restaurant, you will have violated my Datang criminal law, and I will immediately ask you for the crime." If you don't believe me, give it a try. ”

"You are a little seven-grade sesame official, and you actually speak wildly!"

"Songzhou is the Songzhou of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's Songzhou. Whether it is seven or nine grades, once you are an official, you will be a citizen for the rest of your life! If you dare to speak disrespectfully to the officials of the imperial court, I can ask you about this article alone! But I have the heart to let you go, and if you don't leave quickly, don't ask for hardships. ”

"You wait for me! Wait for me to tell Governor Zhang that I will definitely pick your skin!"

"Who downstairs dares to be so presumptuous?" Li Shimin stood upstairs with a sad face at some point.

Naturally, the rich man didn't recognize this person, and when he saw someone helping this seven-rank petty official speak, he couldn't help but turn his anger on him.

"Who are you? Could it be that you are also here to beg for scolding and sending you to death?"

Niu Jinda was furious and was about to make a move, but was gently stopped by Yu Wuyan.

"To deal with this person, why do you need my brother to do it? just let my little sister do it for you. ”

After speaking, she jumped lightly, and the rich man only felt that a flower was in front of him, and a beautiful figure still floated in front of him. Suddenly, the faces on both sides were extremely painful, and they "snapped" three times, causing the rich man to stagger backwards.

"Okay shrew, good thief, you wait for me. After saying that, he fled in a hurry.

Fang Yu apologized: "I'm really sorry, I was discouraged by this thief." ”

"It doesn't matter, there are always some injustices in the world. Along the way, I heard about Aiqing's many great achievements, and after arriving in Songzhou, seeing is believing. I almost listened to the villain and wronged a good official. ”

"Your Majesty. ”

Fang Yu accompanied Tang Taizong Li Shimin as he spoke, and just walked to the door of the restaurant, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

This person walked majestically and swaggeringly in the front, and the person behind him was the rich man.

Looking at this person's outfit, Fang Yu suddenly sighed secretly in his heart. At this level, I'm much bigger. If he hadn't come, maybe his official position would have been secured, but now, hum.
