The dignified Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, will he still care about some rice?

But Zhang Dun really cares, he is unlucky because he is a southerner. It's not that you can't get used to eating northern food, but that you will have a special sentiment for southern food.

Of course, Bianliang can't buy anything, isn't it rice?

Isn't the rice on Huainan Road fragrant?

Isn't the rice of Liangzhejiang Road rice?

Won't the rice of Goryeo and Nam'an become?

……

But is this rice comparable to the rice produced in my hometown?

Don't think that Zhang Dian is hypocritical, a scholar who is an official, he can basically foresee the day he returns to his hometown from the day he becomes an official. Passing by doesn't count, only when Ding is worried, he will return to his hometown. In addition, since he was admitted to the Jinshi, it is likely that he will not return to his hometown in this life, and some officials live a long life, live to the age of a good death, beg for bones, and return to their hometown.

But at that time, it was already a matter of fact. He Zhizhang wrote several poems about returning to his hometown as an official: the young man who left home and the eldest returned, and the hometown accent has not changed and his sideburns have declined. When the children don't know each other, they smile and ask where the guests are from.

In the homeland, things are not people.

is like Su Shi, after he left Sichuan, a few years after he was admitted to Jinshi, his parents passed away one after another, and he was worried at home for six years, but other than that, he never returned to his hometown. Su Shi was outside, although he was an optimist, but when he was most happy, he still received a letter from his hometown and a native product sent from him. This is a nostalgic memory, and the wanderer who is away from home is especially cherished by it.

Therefore, officials will be happy to receive special products from their hometowns, and even say that exaggerating is the best way to relieve their homesickness.

I dream of the mountains of my hometown, the water of my hometown, and the market and fireworks of my hometown.

The rice sent by Zhang's second son, first, he is a southerner, and he likes to boil rice porridge to eat, but millet porridge is not thick, and it does not have the strong fragrance of rice porridge. Second, what he eats is not rice, but the nostalgia from his hometown.

The rice of Zhangdun's family is gone, that is, the props used by the prime minister and his old man to recall the roots have been confiscated.

It happened that Li Kui came in with a casserole and came through the hall, and when he saw Zhang Dian, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said to Zhang Dian with a smile: "Uncle, you are here!" Just in time, your chicken is delicious enough, I also brought some bacon, cut beef, and made pot rice. This meal is to be eaten hot, just in time for you to come back, or I will have to bring it to you. ”

Zhang Dian pointed at Li Kui angrily, and then hung his arms in vain. Li Kui didn't see it at all, but he couldn't stand it, this guy spoke too politely.

is so polite that Zhang Dian can't refute it.

can look at Li Kui's posture, it is not to send food to the prime minister at all, but to bring a little to the house after eating...... What Li Kui said just now was all kind words.

Kind words can't be taken as a tonic, but Zhang Dian didn't even have the heart to be angry.

The dignified prime minister could only scold his son: "How can there be any reason to let the guests help, and you are still busy, and you don't stop it?" ”

Zhang Zhu came over at this time, and reached out from Li Kui's hand to take the casserole. But he tried several times, but Li Kui avoided him. He also saw that what was in this casserole was probably Li Kui's supper.

Zhang Zhu gritted his teeth and threatened in a low voice: "Let go!" ”

It's a pity that Li Kui can't get up in Zhangdun Mansion. He persevered for a while, but he was still defeated under the gaze of Zhang Dian like a torch. He frowned and explained to Zhang Dan: "Uncle, this rice is exquisite, it is called claypot rice, and the rice is made together, and the rice absorbs the fragrance of the dish and becomes full of flavor." It's a pity that your soy sauce is almost meaningless. Uncle, I'm not saying that your soy sauce is bad, but the soy sauce in your kitchen is too unworthy of your identity. ”

Zhang Dianxin said, your soy sauce is good, but if this pot of rice goes to your house, I won't be able to eat rice from my hometown in the next two months.

As he spoke, he opened the lid of the casserole on the dining table, and the steaming heat rose like a flame, and the rich aroma of the food brought out by the heat spread around him, and the fragrance alone aroused people's appetite at once. Zhang Dian greedily inhaled the hot air in front of him, exhaled a long breath, raised his eyelids and praised Li Kui: "Yes, you can go to the palace to be an imperial chef at your level." ”

If he didn't listen to this, Li Kui could still bear it, but after listening to Zhang Dian's words, whether he had the intention of ridiculing and ridiculing or not, Li Kui was not happy.

His direct secret pavilion is miserable enough, if the identity of the dispatcher is the imperial kitchen, he will not be alive?

The Straight Secret Pavilion is not a eunuch, and he cannot enter the palace. Miyagi is the place where the emperor and the harem lived, commonly known as the harem. There was also the place where the ministers worked, which became the imperial city. Together, it is the Imperial Palace.

Li Kui's official position can only be waited in the imperial city, and he can't go to the palace. Unless summoned by the Emperor. But if he becomes the imperial chef, he can walk sideways in the Great Song Palace. This was not the result he wanted.

"Uncle, did you say that the Ministry of Officials made a mistake about the official position given to me? I only have a post official position in the Secret Pavilion, but I haven't sent it, so the court can't support me like this, right? Li Kui said dissatisfied.

He really guessed it, and Zhang Dianxin said: "I don't worry about where you go, isn't it just to raise you?" ”

In fact, Li Kui's words are also reasonable, although the Zhiji Pavilion is an official position, and he has a good grade, but if he really wants to do things, he doesn't care about anything.

Even if you go to the imperial horse to supervise the imperial horse of the emperor's family, it is better than the idleness of this direct secret pavilion.

Zhang Dian didn't have the heart to open his mouth at all, and pointed to the pot and said, "How to eat?" ”

"Use a spoon to pull the vegetables, first expose the rice, then scoop a spoonful of soy sauce, not too much, and then you look at the pot ......"

"Smell it."

"The burnt aroma of the rice blends in with the unique flavor of lap-mei. To eat claypot rice, eat rice first, and then eat it in large gulps. ”

Take a bite. Just one feeling, hot.

After the scalding, it is a completely different kind of enjoyment. The piping hot rice is wrapped in taste buds, the aroma spreads on the tip of the tongue, and Zhang Tun closes his eyes in enjoyment, as if he is in the rice fields of his hometown in August, and the rustle of the wind blowing through the rice fields is almost intoxicating.

Suddenly, his heart tightened, wouldn't it be uncomfortable if the old man couldn't eat such food in the future?

Zhang Dian asked his son Zhang Zhu: "Can the kitchen make such dishes?" ”

"I've learned a little, but I don't know how many percent of the people I can learn?"

In fact, Zhang Kui's rice was not eaten by Li Kui alone, but enjoyed by many people in the Zhang family. As for why he put the pot on Li Kui's back, who made him eat a lot?

Zhang Dian glanced at Li Kui solemnly, and asked calmly: "Li Kui, you want to be a dispatch officer so much?" ”

"It's not that you want to be an official, but you can't do anything as an official, right? How else can I serve the imperial court? ”

Li Kui spread his hands, quite helpless. The three views are correct, and they all talk about serving the imperial court, and even Zhang Dian is not easy to refute. Li Kui is a person who can't be idle, if it weren't for the fact that Kaifeng Mansion didn't even have a bandit's village, he would have thought about going to the bandits with a group of students from the Imperial Boxing Gym.

Although the city of Tokyo is prosperous, can Li Kui be fascinated by the prosperity?

Well, that's it.

The capital of the Great Song Dynasty has the craziest service industry of this era, which can only be described as crazy, after all, the cities of the West are still living in the same danger as urban villages, while Bianliang has derived countless professional service industries. As long as you have money, you can do almost anything in Tokyo City.

Zhang Kui also had a bit of a headache in the face of Li Kui, and he really didn't have much experience in dealing with a guy like Li Kui. At this time, he wanted to write a letter to Su Shi to ask how to face Li Kui. If this guy came every day, wouldn't his family be like Su Shi, raising Li Kui for no reason, and then looking forward to Li Kui's departure from Beijing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Dian felt that this matter could not wait, and muttered: "Okay, what do you want, as long as it is not too ......"

"Old man...... If your request is reasonable, you can consider it. "It's a backdoor success.

The iron-faced selfless discipline can do this, and it is obvious that he has been defeated. Li Kui can even help repair the leaky roof of Zhang's house, maybe tomorrow to repair the sewer, in a few days...... There's a good chance they'll become a family. Li Kui, this guy is simply an old plaster, which is hot and comfortable when pasted, and it is torn off, even with the belt meat.

Li Kui finally waited for this step, and said with a smile: "Uncle, just give a county order." ”

"Prefectural order?" After Zhang Dan was full of wine and food, he held a cup of hot tea and bowed slightly: "This is not difficult. Although the Straight Secret Pavilion is a post, it can't say anything if it is sent to you. Do you want to make a prefectural ordinance where you want to go? However, you must know that His Majesty looks at you differently, and it is not easy to get out of the capital. ”

"Is Xiangfu County successful? The yamen is also close, and you can also work in the city. ”

As soon as Li Kui finished speaking, Zhang Tun's face darkened.

Xiangfu County?

This kid will really choose, more than 1,000 counties in the Great Song Dynasty, more than 200 states, and nearly 50 prefectures, if you want to say that Kaifeng Mansion must be the first prefecture in the world, then the first county in the world must be the first county of Kaifeng Prefecture, Xiangfu County. If it is in the Western Han Dynasty, Xiangfu County is compared to Chang'an County, and the county order is Chang'an order; The words of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Luoyang Order. Such an important official position can be given to a newcomer to officialdom who has no experience in being an official?

Zhang Dian said angrily; "You kid will choose, Xiangfu County can't give it to you."

"Why don't you let me go to my hometown?"

"The officials of the Great Song Dynasty can only be officials in different places, and they don't understand this truth?"

"Find someone with a lot of thieves, I'm good for this."

Li Kui smashed his mouth for a while, but it made Zhang Dian difficult. Li Kui could not leave the capital because the emperor would be unhappy. Even though the minister has a lot of power, he still can't coax the emperor to fall into the technology. Although Zhang Dian is not talented, but fortunately, the shelf is big, and the emperor respects and fears him, but when he should coax on weekdays, he still has to coax, who made Zhao Xu the emperor?

Zhang Dian snorted coldly, and said with a gloomy face: "You are good for this mouthful, but who will be good for this bite in the Manchu Dynasty?" There are bandits all around Kaifeng Mansion, do I, the prime minister, want to apologize for his crimes with death? ”

After speaking, his tone softened a little, and said to Li Kui: "Renjie, the world is very big, and Kaifeng Mansion is very prosperous, why don't you go for a walk?" ”

"I went to Jingling Palace, the eyes of the thieves and donkeys floated to the top of their heads, and they were not allowed to go to the back of the apse; I also went to Dongxifang City, and I had no interest in doing business; I also went to Daxiangguo Temple, and when I looked at it, it was all human heads, the thieves were too snobbish, and the sesame oil money was less, so they didn't care about people; I also went to see Hongqiao, and the water of the Bianhe River stinks, and I don't let people take care of it......"

Zhang Dian listened, his head couldn't help but be big, and Li Kui didn't know what to think, why did he see the shortcomings of the famous places in the magnificent capital of Kaifeng. Can't you just discover the beauty of these places?

Seem......

Zhang Tun, this old boy, suddenly laughed evilly, Li Kui, this guy hasn't been to Fengyue Field!

Moreover, there are many places in the capital that are more desirable than Fengyuechang.

He thought that when he came to the capital to take the exam, he was still young, with a handsome face and a ruddy complexion, and when he first entered Kaifeng, his eyes were fascinated by the prosperity in front of him.

Walking near the Junyi Bridge, he was attracted by a gorgeous carriage, which attracted him not of course, but the people in the carriage. The tulle rose with the wind, and I loomed to see a woman in a red dress, with a goose neck, skin like clotted fat, peach blossoms in her eyes, especially the catkins that were as charming as spring. The woman turned around and smiled at him, charming beings, the young examiner Zi Zhang, couldn't help but follow the carriage.

Then he entered a big mansion, in which the women were all fat rings, enchanting, delicious, gentle, and gentle, Zhang Dian fell into it willingly, but for a few days, he was locked in the mansion and was not allowed to go out. After a long time, my body is a little overwhelmed. Three days later, the other party's conscience found that he walked out of this demon cave with his support for the wall.

When Li Kui heard what Zhang Dian said, his eyes lit up, and he sighed: "What happened later? ”

Zhang Kui was a little upset, he wanted to tell Li Kui that the capital was very beautiful, and some places were worth trying Li Kui's luck. Unexpectedly, Li Kui listened to the story and used his old man's memories as a pastime.

"Junyi Bridge, it's a good place, you should go and walk around more." Zhang Dian suddenly didn't want to say anything, pointed at Li Kui and asked, "Do you know what I just said?" ”

"There are many eunuchs' houses in that place. Uncle, it turns out that you were borrowed (seeded)! The eunuch married a wife and couldn't give birth to a son, so he found someone to give birth to. If you were an official, I am afraid you would not be able to do such a pickled thing. This kind of shameless thing is what the eunuch did. Li Yun, this kid, has heard of it, and he goes to the street every day, but he has never encountered such a good thing. Uncle, you are so lucky, tell me quickly, how many days did you persist back then? ”

Li Kuituan sat on the seat, his thighs squirmed a few times, and he leaned closer and said, "My mouth is the strictest." ”

Zhang Zhi was dumbfounded on the side, he wanted to find out that his father still has such a black history?

Zhang Dian regretted that he wanted to slap himself in the mouth, what did he say to Li Kui, a bastard boy, about this? Can he say that he lasted three days and almost died of exhaustion?

If he really said it, wouldn't Li Kui want to laugh at him to death? With his small body, how can Li Kui be as hard as an iron bull?

The embarrassed and angry prime minister was very frightened, he ordered the forbidden army to drive Li Kui out of the mansion, closed the door, and said in a deep voice to the people present in the mansion: "Li Kui will not be allowed to enter the door in the future." ”

When the slaves dispersed, Zhang Dian stared at his son with threatening eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't tell the old man." ”

Zhang Dian also felt ashamed.

Before, he didn't have that kind of thought.

In fact, decades have passed, and every time he thinks of that mansion, he will bring him a good memory. But this memory, which was stirred up by Li Kuiyi, now makes him sick. Zhang Dian regretted it a little, didn't he just drive Li Kui away?

I have to say something useless.

It's good now, the good memories of the past are not only not good, but also make him feel disgusting, Zhang Dian sighed helplessly, Kaifeng left him the best memory, disillusioned!
