Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Wine Feast on the Full Moon
Touching his conscience, he said: Although there were many inconveniences in ancient times, and the supremacy of imperial power, people with a certain class and economic ability lived a really comfortable life.
The newly bought Chunya and Xia Ya, thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls, are very capable.
The two of them are mainly responsible for taking care of the two babies, changing the feces diapers, and when the milk doll wakes up, they will hold Cuihua to breastfeed, and then help with the milk burps, and they can also hold and play around.
In addition to feeding the baby, Cuihua pinched the little jiojio, didn't worry about everything, and the confinement was very comfortable. At night, I can watch my husband work in the field, chat with him, and add food when he is hungry.
"You've finished repairing all five parts of the cement mill, when will you go back to Beijing?" Confinement people, lying on the reclining chairs on the ridges, watching the men harvest corn.
"The new emperor means, let me supervise the construction of the river embankment at the end of the year, and I can only withdraw it after they finish making samples!" Yuan Qian is always very concerned about the river embankment, this ancient flood is ruthless, but there is no loveliest person to rescue. He had to be attentive and build this embankment.
Cuihua is most curious about the efficiency of this ancient infrastructure, which should be due to the cheap labor: "Have all the official roads in the country been repaired?" ”
Heiwa said proudly: "Now the official roads in the country are basically being repaired, and if they are all connected, it will take a year, mainly to repair and repair, and the route of this official road will become longer, and the governments around the country are very active." ”
Cuihua thought of a question that she had always been puzzled about: "However, how can this matter be solved by the cement road fee horseshoe?" ”
"Daughter-in-law, you really got to the point, I told the new emperor at the beginning, to nail iron palms to the horses' hooves to reduce the damage to the horses, but the ox carts and mules can't be controlled."
"Now there are still few people with cars, and there are more legs, so you should build sidewalks on both sides of the road to separate people and vehicles."
"How can there be so much silver, don't you want to think about who paid for the construction of the road, anyway, our slogans are everywhere - pedestrians stay on the right, and the carriages and horses go to the middle."
"It's also ha, those businessmen don't care about the lives of civilians, and their own convenience is the king."
"Daughter-in-law, I'm hungry for chicken fir oil noodles, hehe, you are in the late stage of pregnancy, I finished making that jar of chicken fir oil, and I will be out of food for a few months."
"I want to eat it too, you go to Hushan to pick some and come back, I haven't been there for a few months, I guess I have to pick a lot, let's be arrogant tonight, make it dozens of catties, and save it for you to eat for a few months."
The pine forest in the space has grown into a towering tree, the pine nuts are bigger than the mouth of the bowl, and the two of them are in Yunnan, and they have plagued a lot of chicken firs, even the soil with roots, and the kind dug in large areas.
Anyway, after transplantation, these chicken firs develop very quickly, ten days and a half months, as long as you have time to find them, you can pick ten catties at will.
Compared with matsutake mushrooms, these two people have a soft spot for chicken fir mushrooms, especially when made into chicken fir oil, which is fragrant and chewy, and is better than meat. Use chicken fir oil to mix noodles, no matter how you eat it, you can exchange it with the king crab in the space and other people, and everyone else chooses this.
The seven tigers have no interest in mushrooms, lazily watching the male owner pouting his ass and busy in the mountains, they are really idle and panicking, recently a tigress is pregnant, finally has something to do, and when the tiger cub comes out, it can be taught to hunt.
The child is really a long-winded, newborn red and wrinkled child, less than ten days, it will be stretched, the quality of the mother's milk is good, every meal is full, the little milk fat soon rose, so that the two brothers watched every day, and they were reluctant to leave.
Occasionally, you can spit out milk bubbles, fart, or half-open and watch them have fun for a long time, and the Black Tiger and Black Panther also come several times a day, and they also have to guard the door at night.
After a flash of confinement, Cuihua's health was so good that she didn't sit on a double confinement, Zhang's was not at ease, so she invited the old doctor to diagnose the pulse, and repeatedly confirmed that her daughter's body was as strong as a calf, and then let her out of confinement.
After the full moon, the weather was already late autumn, and it was very comfortable, and she began to wander around the village, thinking that it was appropriate to build a workshop there, and she thought that she would be able to toss the noodles this year.
The full moon wine of the three heads and four heads was also lively before, but unfortunately Cuihua had just given birth to a baby and was unable to participate.
It was the turn of the twins Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu's full moon wine, Lao Yuan Tou asked for a big deal, his boss was so capable, the twins were twice as auspicious, and he paid for the treat himself!
Not only did they have to entertain these 10 relatives and friends from the downstream village, but they also made a lot of friends in Dali Village, which is really a lot of people.
Zhang's suggestion is to simply make a flowing water banquet, the banquet of the Shu people often does this, and when you come to the capital, you can't forget the food inheritance.
Because of the full moon wine of his younger brothers, Ertou also sent an invitation to his good friend His Royal Highness the Prince, inviting him to eat nine bowls in his Zhuangzi, and also described a lot of dishes in the nine bowls of Shudi, which can be summed up: delicious and boardly! Come on!
The first time he received such an invitation, Prince Xia Yan was very excited, and he said that he wanted to go, he had not eaten nine bowls yet.
Every time the two heads wrote to him, there was always a mention of strange food, and this time the nine bowls of dishes seemed to be quite normal. In the past, it was far away, and there was no such condition, but now they are all in the same capital, and they can go to the door.
The queen is very puzzled, her son is usually good at eating, not a glutton, it can be seen that he still wants to be lively.
After receiving a reply from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that she wanted to participate in the full moon wine of her two sons, Cuihua could only go into battle by herself, draw up the menu, and she had to make the troublesome dishes herself.
There is no shortage of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and fish in Zhuangzi, and the wheat has also been harvested.
The few large ovens she had to build before production had already dried out, and the kiln chicken and duck, as well as the crispy pork belly, could be put online, and the earthen ovens were also very easy to use in the days when there were no ovens.
Thousands of eggs are boiled, all made into tea eggs, the fermented brick tea boiled tea eggs taste better, you can give two to the neighbors in the village, who can not love tea eggs?
Because of the chili peppers, boiled meat slices and boiled fish are arranged, I am afraid that this group of people will not be able to eat spicy, so I will make a slightly spicy series to awaken the taste buds with chili peppers, and let Dogwood see who is the authentic spicy!
The many dried seafood brought back from Dunyu Island can also make a few dishes, Cuihua has long wanted to make soft-hearted shield fish, and after checking the information for a long time, this time I finally started.
The soaking of the soft-hearted shield fish is more time-consuming, first clean the dried shield fish, put it in a sealed container with space spring water, cover the outside of the container with ice cubes, soak for 12 hours, and change the water once in the middle. When the time is up, take it out and change the blister for another 12 hours.
After soaking the shield fish, put ginger slices, green onions and Shao wine in a sealed jar, steam it in a steamer for 2 hours, and change to low heat after boiling on high heat. After turning off the heat, put it in the pot to cool naturally, take it out and clean it, and set aside.
Then the fried pork ribs, old chicken, pig's feet, in turn from the bottom of the casserole to the top, the middle layer is the soaked shield fish, the shield fish heart is placed down, the last layer of chicken feet and scallops, ham cut into granules, sprinkled in.
Slowly pour the broth from the pork bones and chicken racks into a large casserole, simmer over low heat, add the broth several times halfway, after 24 hours, the soup is almost at the bottom, the heat is thickened, add oyster sauce and sugar to taste.
The shield fish simmered over a slow fire is cut open, and the heart of the shield fish is like egg liquid. Put it in the mouth, it has a soft candy-like taste, sticky teeth, as if it is a naturally melted sugar liquid, fresh and smooth, a mouthful, making people have an endless aftertaste.
The master of the dish said that he was very satisfied, and he didn't mess it up the first time, and the old craftsman was different.
Of course, the traditional sweet roasted white and salty roasted white in Shu are also indispensable, as well as fragrant bowls, etc., and the crispy meat is also fried in ten pots. The aroma of the big kitchen wafted across the village, and the villagers began to drool before they ate it, it was so fragrant, this Shu people really knew how to eat!
On the day of the banquet, the prince came early with Princess Jingyao, and was directly welcomed into the right wing room where the two ends lived, and the two of them hugged their younger brother who looked like a bun at the head, showing the prince and the princess a surprise.
"Your Royal Highness, princess, the one my brother is holding has a swirl on his head is my little five, and the two spins I am holding are the little six, you see if it's very well-behaved!"
The two-headed treasure is like offering treasures, and he also exposed the five-headed little jiojio and pinched it for Princess Jingyao, which is his and his mother's favorite action.
The princess looked at the two babies with great surprise, after all, she was the youngest in the palace, and she had never seen a baby younger than her: "They are so well-behaved, they don't cry, Jiojio is so small, so soft to pinch, so fun." ”
The milky doll quickly gained her affection, and she brought them a lot of toys she had played with this time.
The prince also agrees with his sister's words, these two little babies look very good for his eyes, and they are very cute and well-behaved when they look at them.
Cuihua cleaned up the middle wing room for the two heads, a living room specially used for entertaining guests, and a round table that can be rotated in the middle under the window of the living room, with a dining chair with a comfortable backrest, the height is very friendly to children, and the flowers blooming in the courtyard can be seen by opening the window.
On top of that, the table was full of good dishes that he had never seen before: kiln chicken with brown skin, roast duck with caramel color and oil, crispy pork belly and tender pork belly, boiled fish, soft-boiled shield fish, several small steamed bowls, as well as light chicken bean curd and boiling cabbage heart.
The prince couldn't help swallowing his saliva, watching the two heads of him use chopsticks to pick up vegetables, there was no one to serve, he also wanted to do it himself, and took care of his sister from time to time,
Princess Jingyao is most interested in kiln chicken and cabbage heart, the tender boy chicken does not bother to speak, slightly salty and fragrant, the skin and meat are tender and juicy, she smiled and squinted, looking at an ordinary cabbage heart, it tasted sweet and refreshing.
The prince has not been calm in his heart since the first mouthful, driving away the little eunuch who tested the poison, no one watched, he also threw off his arms and started drying, the boiled fish was so spicy that his mouth was red, and he also shouted that it was enjoyable, and the soft-hearted shield fish was also glutinous.
The flowing water mats outside have been snatched up, Cuihua didn't give them shield fish, boiling water cabbage, etc., and the chickens, ducks, pork and fish are full. Villagers from all three villages were invited.
This is really the most sumptuous meal they have eaten in years, enough to reminisce for a few years, a whole day of flowing water feast, the villagers have come to eat two meals, and the old man who has been paralyzed in bed for several years has been carrying the feast.
Even the restrained royal people were able to eat, drinking the red fruit diet tea prepared by Cuihua, and slumped on the chaise longue.
Prince: The cooks in the imperial dining room in the palace are all waste, and they are not as delicious as the food cooked by the two mothers, I have really seen the world.
