Chapter 21: Ying Zheng's Visit
"I don't know how Your Majesty has time to come to Sang Mo here today?"
In Li Ye's mansion, Li Ye and Ying Zheng sat opposite each other, and after Li Ye made tea for Ying Zheng, he asked.
Ying Zheng picked up the tea in the cup, took a sip, shook his head and said:
"Ever since I ascended the throne as the First Emperor, I have not been able to sleep peacefully...... I'm really worried. ”
Li Ye's eyes closed slightly, hugged the white fox on the side in his arms, and said, "What are you worried about?" ”
Ying Zheng looked at Li Ye and said:
"I ...... Worried about my Great Qin, worried about whether I can be a qualified monarch in the world in the future, I came here today to ask Sang Mo for advice on this way of being a king. ”
Li Ye shook his head when he heard this, Ying Zheng looked up to him too much, and he had never been a monarch, how could he know, but he also had something to tell Ying Zheng.
Li Ye opened his mouth and said:
"Sang Mo thinks that for the way of the king, the people must be saved first, if the interests of the people are harmed, in order to support their bodies, it is like cutting off their own flesh to fill their stomachs, although the king's stomach is full, but the body is already scarred, the king is rich, but the country is destroyed...... Even if the monarch is rich, it has no meaning.
Sang Mo thought that if he wanted to prosper my Great Qin and ensure that my Great Qin would not be destroyed forever, he would first make the people safe, pay less taxes, be light, be diligent for officials, and thrifty for the court, and there would be no need to be disturbed by the Hun iron horses on the border, so that the people could be safe. ”
It was noon in a blink of an eye, and Li Ye saw that Yingzheng had no intention of leaving, so he asked helplessly: "Your Majesty, why don't you stay here for lunch in Sangmo......
When Ying Zheng heard this, he suddenly came to his senses and said, "Hmm...... Okay, since Sang Mo keeps me, I'll stay and dine with Sang Mo~"
National Teacher's Mansion, outside the back kitchen door, a group of subordinates looked at the two people in the house for a while.
I saw that the coal stove was burning in the kitchen, and the door was slightly open, and the heat wafted with the fragrance.
And there is a pot on the coal stove, and the meat is stewed in the pot, and the meat has been stewed for an hour or two, and from time to time it exudes an attractive aroma, so that the noses of the people waiting outside the door can't bear to sniff more.
Ying Zheng stood beside Li Ye, stared straight at the iron pot, and asked, "Hey! Sang Mo, is this meat rotten, can't you eat it when it's so fragrant? ”
"Oh yes, I'll see."
Li Ye put down the mutton that was about to be sliced into thin slices in his hand when he heard the sound, and walked to the pot.
Looking at Ying Zheng's greedy appearance, Li Ye poked the meat with chopsticks in his hand and said:
"Yes, it's already terrible, you can eat it with a few side dishes."
Ying Zheng nodded when he heard this, he was the king of a country, and he had never seen anything, but the things cooked in the pot in front of him really made him greedy.
Ying Zheng turned his eyes to Li Ye, who was about to fry a few plates of home-cooked side dishes, and said:
"By the way, it's the first time I've known that Sang Mo will do these things."
Li Ye quickly cut the vegetables in his hand and said: "When he didn't enter Qin as a teacher, Sang Mo lived in seclusion in the realm of Yunmeng Mountain by himself, and no one served him, of course, Sang Mo could only do it himself." ”
As for Zhang Ling's kid? He doesn't know how to cook.
Ying Zheng nodded when he heard this, and stopped talking.
As for the ancient man who couldn't go to the kitchen? Stop it. Although there is a saying in ancient times that a gentleman is far away from cooking, it comes from the Confucian classic "The Book of Rites: Yuzao", and the original words are like this:
"A gentleman is far away from cooking, and everything with flesh and blood is also practiced."
That is to say, do not kill anything flesh with your own hands, and promote "gentleman and cook" as a benevolent virtue.
However, many people in later generations misinterpreted the reasonable core of the sentence "the gentleman cooks far away", that is, the kind of "unbearable" benevolence, and said that the gentleman should stay away from the kitchen as an excuse for being lazy and unable to go to the kitchen.
Li Ye fried four plates of side dishes, turned to Ying Zheng on the side:
"Okay, Your Majesty and Sang Mo will go back to the room first, and these subordinates will send these later."
Ying Zheng smiled when he heard this:
"Okay, the meal made by Sang Mo today really makes me look forward to it~"
The two went out and walked towards Li Ye's bedroom, Li Ye said: "Your Majesty's praise, it's just a meal that Sang Mo cooks in his spare time, and I don't know if the king will like it." ”
Ying Zheng waved his hand and smiled, and said:
"Hahaha~ I like what Sang Mo does."
When Li Ye heard this, he instructed the subordinates behind him: "Send the food from the kitchen to my bedroom." ”
Seeing this, the subordinates hurriedly answered.
……
Ying Zheng touched the fine sweat on his forehead, looked at the fire sent by his subordinates, and said:
"Whew~ The fire is sent in, and the house looks hotter~"
Li Ye said, "The fire in the house is too hot, it may be better to eat outside the house." ”
Ying Zheng said:
"Don't! I'm not in a hurry, eat the food quickly, don't wait for it to get cold. ”
Then I saw Li Ye leading Ying Zheng, shabu mutton lettuce, dipping in sauce, eating meat pieces that had been stewed for two hours, Ying Zheng couldn't stop after just one bite.
Li Ye took the mutton, put the good mutton on the plate, and said:
"Mutton can warm up for deficiency, replenish qi in the body, appetize and fitness, benefit kidney qi, nourish the gallbladder and brighten the eyes, cure deficiency and cold, five labor and seven injuries, Recently, Your Majesty has worked hard for state affairs, and you can just make up for it."
Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Huaxia has been a long time, only he can have such a virtuous minister, should it be said that it is good luck?
Ying Zheng poured tea for Li Ye and said, "Sang Mo has a heart." ”
Li Ye smiled slightly and drank the tea in the cup.
The white fox lying next to Li Ye picked up Li Ye's long sleeves, and when Li Ye noticed it, he sent the mutton on the plate into the white fox's mouth.
Su Jiu'er: It's so hateful! Treating the lamb like this, this girl was so sad that tears flowed out of her mouth.
Li Ye pointed to a dish that Ying Zheng had never touched his chopsticks, and said, "Your Majesty, how about tasting this dish of boiled white meat in salted water?" ”
But it's no wonder that Yingzheng didn't use chopsticks, but that dish didn't have any color, but it just looked a little inferior to other dishes.
Ying Zheng nodded, and used chopsticks to put a piece of meat on his plate, and after he put the meat in his mouth, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Two words - sweet.
Boiled white meat in salty water, the pork belly used is boiled in salted water, although it is simple, but the boiled pork belly is not greasy, it is very sweet.
Ying Zheng said: "It's delicious...... The meat wasn't at all as fatty as it looked. ”
After Li Ye fed the piece of meat to the white fox's mouth, he said with a smile:
"Hehe~ It's good that Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, but Sang Mo now has a clever plan in his mind to tell His Majesty."
Ying Zheng put down his chopsticks, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh?" What's the idea? ”
Li Ye pointed to a few plates of side dishes on the table and said, "Salt." ”
