Chapter 684: A New Way to Eat
Entertaining Li Zhi is a laborious and laborious thing.
Although people in this era have never seen much of the world, and the dishes they eat are nothing more than steaming, boiling and grilling, but since Li Zhi tasted the food cooked by Li Qinzai, his mouth has become more and more tricky.
Now Li Qinzai can't satisfy him with some ordinary food at all, last night Li Zhi was hungry before going to bed, so he asked the cook to make a steamed cake and golden crisp casually, Li Zhi only tasted one bite, and then disgusted for half an hour, hypnotizing himself in the rambling chatter.
With such a product, Li Qinzai wanted to satisfy him, and he really racked his brains.
He wasn't a cook in his previous life.
There is a hill in Ganjingzhuang with a bamboo forest on the mountain.
Li Qinzai led several subordinates up the mountain, walked into the bamboo forest, casually found a bamboo that was pleasing to the eye, and asked the subordinates to cut down the bamboo and drag it down the mountain.
Back in the courtyard, Li Qinzai cut off the bamboo joints separately, washed them, and split them from a third.
Glutinous rice and japonica rice soaked in water are stuffed into the split bamboo tube, and then the dried meat of the farmer is marinated and seasoned with sauce, and then evenly placed on the rice, closed and fixed in the bamboo tube, and roasted on a firewood fire.
Li Zhi sat in the courtyard with his eyes open, watching Li Qinzai busy with his work, and today's novel approach made Li Zhi look forward to it.
He knows that he has a blessing today, not the vague blessing between the husband and wife's bed, but a literal blessing.
After roasting on the firewood for two quarters of an hour, Li Qinzai took off the bamboo tube and uncovered the upper layer, and a rich aroma mixed with the aroma of dried meat and rice immediately spread out, and the whole yard could smell it.
"It smells so good!" Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hands like a beggar to beg for charity from kind-hearted people: "Quick, give me, hurry!" ”
Li Qinzai sighed, for this bit of food, the emperor's face is gone, your father, who is lying peacefully in the Zhaoling Tomb, if he sees his son's virtue, I don't know if he will blow up the grave......
Holding the bamboo tube and handing it to Li Zhi, he gave him a wooden spoon, and Li Zhi buried his head and began to cook.
"It's delicious, it's delicious! Mother and maid too! Li Zhi was so happy that he cursed a dirty word.
Li Qinzai picked up another bamboo tube and tasted it, well, it tastes really good, the rice is mixed with the oil and water of the meat, as well as the rich aroma of meat and sauce, and it tastes especially delicious.
"Your Majesty likes it," Li Qinzai smiled: "This thing is called 'bamboo rice', it tastes good." ”
Li Zhi nodded frantically while eating: "It's not just okay, it's just too good, at the beginning of the Jingchu, I found that you are full of treasures, and there will be a long time in the future, so keep me to discover it slowly." ”
Li Qinzai was stunned, and suddenly showed a restrained and reserved expression.
The Emperor's official Treasure Boy, tsk! It's a real hammer.
A bamboo tube rice, Li Zhi ate it cleanly in three or two clicks, if it weren't for the fact that the bamboo tube was relatively narrow and inconvenient to mouth, Li Zhi estimated that he would lick the bamboo tube to a new look.
To be honest, none of the Li family's janitor dogs have cherished food so much.
"Delicious!" Li Zhi couldn't finish his mouth, and he didn't bother to wipe the oil on his mouth.
"Write down the secret recipe, and after Your Majesty returns to the palace, you can ask the imperial chef in the palace to make it for you."
Li Zhi opened his eyes and smiled: "Very good, go up!" ”
"But Your Majesty, this thing is a little greasy after all, Your Majesty's old illness has not been cured, so try to eat as little as possible." Li Qinzai persuaded.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "It's okay, since Jing Chu got me a home remedy, ginkgo biloba shredded and soaked in water, I must drink it every day, and I haven't been sick since then, you are better than the imperial doctor." ”
Li Qinzai had a brief moment of apprehension in his mind.
Li Zhi hasn't been sick for a long time, so has China's history changed its trajectory since it began?
I am afraid that the ambition of the Empress Wu will never have a chance to be realized again, and Li Zhi, the ambitious emperor, will probably live many more years, and his life's ambition must be able to come true.
What about Lee Khun-jae?
He doesn't have any ambitions, nor does he have any ideals, and he seems to have done a lot of things for Datang, but only he knows best, and most of the things he does are convenient.
Make gunpowder, make three-eyed guns, harvest and spit grain, and now there are new grain varieties......
Counting it carefully, it seems that there is nothing that he is very motivated to do and take the initiative to do, it is all about the end, and he follows the trend.
If there is anything different, it is probably thanks to his three views that are quite correct, although many things are done easily, but after all, the people still get benefits.
This is not bad, even if he does nothing from now on, relying on the merits he has made now, when he is old and lying on his bed to say goodbye to this world, he will not be disappointed.
In history, his name will definitely appear.
"Jing Chu, Jing Chu!" Li Zhi called for a soul: "Are you stupid? What do you think? ”
"Your Majesty forgives your sins, and the ministers are easy to be in a daze when they are full, and it is commonly known as 'dizziness'."
"The same is true for me, at the beginning of the year, the matter of the new grain is entrusted to you, you are good to take care of it, don't make mistakes, I grant you the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, no matter who covets my new grain seed, you can cut it first and then play it."
"Obey."
"When will the seed be ripe?"
"It's almost the end of summer, please be patient."
Li Zhi nodded: "Although there are only a few grain seeds, the yield per mu can be estimated after maturity, and all these grains will be used for seed after harvesting, and it will be ...... in another year or two."
Thinking of the grand occasion of 5,000 catties per mu in the future, Li Zhi couldn't help but feel good, and laughed twice in Yangtian: "I'm in a good mood today, Jingchu, give me another bamboo tube rice, as long as the meat doesn't need rice." ”
…………
Li Zhi hiccuped, left Ganjingzhuang contentedly, and went back to Chang'an.
This trip was worth it, especially the new grain varieties, which made him so excited that he wanted to scream, to be honest, he had never been so happy with Mrs. Korea's mother and daughter.
Before leaving, Li Zhi wandered reluctantly in the field, like a licking dog that can't be loved, staring at the land in a daze, and it took a long time to get on the royal chariot and leave.
Li Qinzai sent Li Zhigong out of the village, and then exhaled a long breath.
The new grain had been planted in the soil, and the value of the Tocharian merchant Idot had completely disappeared at this moment, and in short, he was a piece of used toilet paper.
However, although the grain is in hand, the trouble of Jingjiao has not been solved, Li Qinzai is not in a hurry, he will lock up Yiduo first, and after Li Zhi has cleaned up Jingjiao, he will settle accounts with Yang Shuen.
Back in the backyard wing, Cui Jie was accompanying Zinu.
Zi Nu's expression was down, the eyes of the two daughters were red, and Cui Jie didn't know what was wrong, and she shed tears with Zi Nu.
Seeing Li Qinzai coming in, Cui Jie got up to greet her, and choked up: "Husband accompanies Sister Zinu more, she is too pitiful." ”
Li Qinzai frowned, what kind of painting style is this? One is the main room, the other is the concubine room, it stands to reason that the two should fight openly and secretly, and he, who is a husband, is in a dilemma.
But now in this situation, there is indescribable harmony between the three of them, looking at Cui Jie's appearance, she is not only harmonious, but also empathetic with Zinu.
