Chapter 38 Don't eat pineapples
Time flies, and today is the day to set off.
In early spring, it is still a little cold, but the spring breeze only makes people feel warm and comfortable. Jiang Li was greedy for a while, and only wore a lotus-white straight-robed women's dress decorated with silver pearls, and the skirt was embroidered with a golden phoenix pattern as usual.
This skirt is covered with snow splinter on the outside of the Suzhou embroidery fabric, and when you walk, you only need to gently wind to make a misty scenery of Lingyun ascending to immortals.
In addition, today she combed the nine mustaches of Wangxian and only used the cloud-foot pearl tendril hairpin, plus the silver wire grab clip, and embellishment in many places.
Jiang Li's body is thin and tall, and when she looks at it from a distance, she looks like a fairy descending to earth. Surrounded by the palace maids, she boarded the royal ship. Although it is a royal dock, ordinary people can also watch from the other side of the road.
Seeing that the revered Lord Huangli boarded the royal ship, like fairies, they spontaneously bowed down to greet them. Jiang Li turned around with a dignified smile and waved to the shore, and for a while cheers spread throughout the sky.
When I got on the deck, I looked at the water and the sky that seemed to be within reach in the distance, and I suddenly felt very good.
"Lord Lu Wu has boarded the ship before you, and at this moment I am arranging for people to pack my luggage. In addition, many of the items sent by the adults in advance have already been placed in your room, and if there is anything wrong, please do not hesitate to ask the adults, and the servants will definitely handle it. "The chief eunuch on the royal ship is quite clever, and he took the initiative to report without waiting for Jiang Li to summon him.
Jiang Li nodded and smiled, and the palace maid behind her knew the rules, and immediately said, "Reward." ”
The steward saluted and thanked him, and then stepped back quickly, and did not say much. Jiang Li looked at it, if this is placed in the officialdom, he is also a usable person who can be mixed.
"What's his name?" She whispered to Rin Frost next to her, "I'll give an answer when I get to the dormitory." ”
Rin Shuang understood, and immediately sent an inconspicuous little eunuch to inquire.
After a few words, Jiang Li and his party were taken to the top floor of the cabin by a strange little eunuch. Two whole floors, all for ginger pears. The cabin has nine floors, the bottom two floors are dedicated to storage of sundries and emergency life-saving supplies, and the third floor is the boiler kitchen and laundry room. The fourth floor is the palace maid and eunuch's room. One floor further up is the control room, where the captain and the chief steward all drive the ship on the fifth floor.
The sixth and seventh floors are the living bedrooms of the accompanying ministers. And Lu Wu thought that it was on the seventh floor.
The eighth and ninth floors are all owned by ginger pears, and idle people are not allowed to enter. The top floor is used as a living room, and the eighth floor is a study and living room, which is spacious, bright and open.
The deck is connected to the fifth floor, and if you want to see the sea scenery, you can see the ginger pear from the top floor. However, she would rather walk a few more steps to the deck, where the sea breeze blows, and she watches the captain control the compass and face the distance.
Just because she was worried about seasickness, Jiang Li didn't have breakfast, so she passed the meal before noon.
Although there is an imperial kitchen on the ship, the materials are limited, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, but she tries to make it as delicate and delicious as possible.
Today, I went to the snow mountain monkey head, skewered roe deer meat white jade rabbit, sweet and sour loin, Yufu stuffy seeds, shredded chicken daylily, Buddha jumping over the wall. The dessert is an iceberg snow clam, which is so exquisitely made that the ginger pear is almost exhausted.
"There are no fresh vegetables today, won't we have to eat pickled vegetables and salted meat in a few days?" Xue Bu Cai was muttering and complaining.
Without sighing, Jiang Li wiped his mouth and said slowly: "The conditions are limited, it is not easy to do this, why be demanding?" ”
After thinking about it, she turned her head and ordered: "I want to come to the next room, there is no fresh food, we brought two boxes of sour lemon fruit and take it down, I think they will eat a lot of seafood, this idea will relieve them first." ”
Han Bi went down to deliver the message, and Rin Shuang brought a plate of six-colored fruits, grapes, pineapples, cherries, strawberries, loquats, and mulberries in the crystal plate, still with fresh droplets.
Jiang Li couldn't help but sigh when she saw it: "It's too extravagant." ”
Yes, in this situation where it is difficult to even obtain fresh vegetables, the food at the ginger pear is still delicate and delicious. Even pineapples and other tribute fruits can be found and presented.
The ancients said, "When a concubine laughs on a ride in the red dust, no one knows that it is a lychee", and the same is true for this pineapple.
This is a product of Nanyang, and Yu Nanli has tried thousands of ways to grow it, but it can't be grown. The plants can only be uprooted, potted, and planted in locally dug soil to keep them fresh for several days and delivered to the borders of various countries.
It's just because Jiang Shuyue likes to eat pineapples, so the southern pear country has introduced a large number of this precious tropical fruit. Jiang Li was not very interested in this thing, but he was often in the Closed Moon Palace when he was young, and only regarded this pineapple as an ordinary fruit, and even made fruit tea to drink.
It was only later that Lu Wu mentioned that Jiang Li felt that the daily inconspicuous fruit was so precious.
Since then, ginger pears no longer eat more pineapples. She knew that Jiang Guanyue could not be persuaded to do so, so she was just frugal alone.
This was also many years ago, but now on the royal ship, the dining room is not familiar with the preferences of ginger pears, and only cares about choosing the expensive ones, so there is this fruit plate in front of me.
Ginger pear was born in the mainland, not to mention the apples and sweet orange fruits eaten on weekdays, which are mulberries in the same plate, although they are wild fruits grown in the countryside, ginger pears are still very fond of eating.
These foods shouldn't be divided into high and low, she thought to herself.
"This pineapple... But the dining room is prepared, right? She had almost cleaned the mulberries, and the pineapples on the plate had not moved at all.
I only saw Rin Shuang and Jiang Xue glancing at each other, and Rin Shuang replied, "It was sent from the dining room, and it was said that it was a fruit specially prepared for adults." ”
Jiang Xue was most afraid that Jiang Li would be angry: "My lord, the cook on this royal ship doesn't know what adults like, so the slave and maid immediately went and said that there is no need to go to this kind of precious tribute fruit anymore." ”
Jiang Li sneered, raised his head with his cheeks and looked out of the window coldly, and taught people to be frightened: "Do they also deserve to know the preferences of this seat?" ”
Looking at the expressions, it was obvious that the palace maids were panicked and at a loss.
And when they had prepared the pineapples, let them serve them as they had been. At this time, I said that I don't like to eat pineapples, how to deal with these precious fruits? Is it to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish? Jiang Li's expression returned to normal, and Jiang Li was smiling again, "This seat saves on weekdays, it's not that I can't eat such a tribute fruit." It's just that this imperial chef is not doing well, so he just found a reason to send it away, so let's change the chef to serve this seat. ”
Hanbi is clever and has gone down to deliver the decree.
"Adults still like mulberries." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Rin Shuang whispered, just waiting to see Jiang Li's reaction.
"No matter how delicious the delicacies of the mountains and seas are, you must know that you can't eat three. If you can squander it at will, then how can you still know how to cherish it next time? ”
Closing his eyes, the familiar figure of the man in white appeared in Jiang Li's mind.
Why do you think of him again?
