Chapter 466: Zheng Er

Listening to Liu Yifei's even breathing, Li Yi also put the mobile phone next to the pillow and lay down with his head up.

Hearing Liu Yifei's voice, he also felt a lot calmer.

With a sigh of relief, he closed his eyes.

The next moment, the wooden monument reappeared.

This time, he didn't hesitate, directly pricked his finger and entered the wooden tablet space.

Consciousness sank, Li Yi opened his eyes again, and he was already lying on a wooden bed.

Sitting up, he lifted the quilt first, looked down, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't become a woman again this time.

After confirming this, he raised his eyes and looked around, taking in the surroundings of the next place.

In front of you is a dilapidated thatched hut with leaky windows and the sound of ducks and geese quacking.

Getting up and out of bed, he looked at the height of the window and then looked down at his hands.

Visually, his body should not be more than fourteen years old.

Getting up and stepping on a pair of broken shoes at the foot of the bed, he pushed the door open and came out, and saw several fat ducks pacing in a fenced yard.

At this time, a dark and thin middle-aged man walked over from the intersection outside the courtyard with a flat pole.

Seeing the ducks pacing in the yard from afar, he immediately scolded at the top of his throat: "Huo Shi Nima's little idiot! The duck ran out and didn't know what to catch? ”

Hearing his swear words about Jinling, Li Yi knew that he was near Jinling.

Immediately following the customs, Li Yi looked around, found a wooden spoon for scooping grain, took it in his hand, and knocked it a few times.

Sure enough, the ducks that ran out heard the sound and ran over.

Li Yi was quick-eyed, and with one in his hand, he carried them into the duck shed on the side.

The middle-aged man came back scolding, put the bucket down, and raised his leg and kicked at Li Yi.

Li Yi didn't say anything when he was scolded, but when he saw his legs, he still dodged and easily dodged.

Seeing him dodge, the middle-aged man was a little surprised, and scolded and scolded in his mouth: "I finally got the hang of it, I know how to hide when I get kicked, and when I go to someone's duck shop, I have to be smart, learn more, and watch more." ”

Hearing his words, Li Yi couldn't help but be taken aback: "Duck shop? I'm going to the duck shop to get Mozi? ”

"Mozi, you say Mozi?"

The middle-aged man raised his foot and was about to kick, but Li Yi dodged him.

Seeing that he couldn't kick it, he scolded: "Of course I went to the duck shop to learn how to roast duck!" Learn a craft and be able to support yourself, otherwise do you want to be like me and serve these flat-haired beasts for the rest of your life? ”

"Learn to roast duck?"

Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He almost thought that this time he was not a woman, and he had to be a husband.

Then he'd rather be a woman!

Looking at the bucket that the middle-aged man picked up, he stepped forward and lifted it, carried it into the kitchen, and poured it into the water tank.

Seeing that he easily lifted two buckets of water, the middle-aged man was a little surprised: "When did this kid have so much strength?" It's growing pretty fast. ”

After being surprised, he muttered solemnly: "No, these years are the most edible time, you have to let him go to the duck shop early, otherwise he will have to eat a lot of food." ”

In the kitchen, after Li Yi poured water into the water tank, he held on to the edge of the tank and looked at the reflection in the water.

The reflection reflects a young man with an ordinary appearance and a flat nose.

Seeing the young man's sky-high nose, Li Yi recognized him.

Isn't this Zheng Er, Zheng Kitchen?

Zheng Er was the former head chef of the Imperial Dining Room, and he was the leader of the Imperial Dining Room before Zhang Dongguan entered the palace.

A person who can be a head chef will naturally have excellent cooking skills.

When Zhang Dongguan had just entered the palace and had not yet gained a firm foothold, Zheng Er was the only imperial chef favored by Qianlong.

Among the emperors of the past dynasties, except for Zhu Yuanzhang, the one who likes to eat birds the most is Qianlong.

Zhu Yuanzhang especially loves roast duck and must eat one every day.

Qianlong also loved ducks very much, but all kinds of methods were acceptable, and other chickens, geese and other poultry meat were also very fond of eating.

Zheng Er is a good hand at making poultry dishes.

When Qianlong was 73 years old, he made a total of eight dishes for Qianlong throughout the year, which were recorded in "Festival as Usual Meal".

Six of the dishes are poultry dishes of chickens and ducks, and they are all dishes in formal banquets.

This year, Zhang Dongguan, who had been promoted by Qianlong, only made seven dishes on record.

In Qianlong's first four southern tours, Zheng Er was also accompanied by the whole process and was responsible for all Qianlong's diet.

This is enough to see Qianlong's attention to Zheng Er.

The reason why Zheng Er was so valued by Qianlong was not only because Qianlong liked to eat birds, but also because the Empress Dowager Xiaoshengxian also liked to eat birds.

Empress Dowager Xiao Shengxian was Qianlong's biological mother and the longest-lived empress in history.

Qianlong's taste for eating chickens and ducks was inherited from her.

The Empress Dowager of Xiaoshengxian is the prototype of Zhen Huan, and she is also the longest-lived and most blessed queen in history, enjoying all the glory and wealth.

She was originally born in a famous family surnamed Niu Colu, and her heavenly grandfather was the great-grandfather of Kangxi's four auxiliary ministers, although he was not a wealthy family, but he was also a pure Manchurian XHQ person.

Later, she married Yongzheng and gave birth to Qianlong, and after Yongzheng died, she was respected as the queen mother.

Qianlong was extremely filial to the Empress Dowager of filial piety throughout his life, and during his reign he made four southern tours, four eastern tours, three visits to Wutai, two visits to Shengjing, one tour to Zhongzhou, and Dongling and Mulan hunting, all accompanied the Queen Mother.

On weekdays, Qianlong is also inseparable from his side, and he will lead the king's ministers to celebrate on the Wanshou Festival.

Her 60, 70, and 80 celebrations are also more and more grand.

Especially for her 80th birthday, Qianlong, who was 60 years old, also deliberately put on colorful clothes and danced, imitating the colorful clothes in the 24 filial piety to entertain her relatives and make her knees happy.

Later generations believed that the Empress Dowager Xiaoshengxian was the most blessed queen, enjoying the "blessings, lu, and longevity" of the world, and she was good for life, which was enviable.

Empress Dowager Xiao Shengxian's favorite food is chicken and duck and other poultry meat, which is indispensable in the meal on weekdays.

Therefore, Zheng Er is not only responsible for Qianlong's meals, but also responsible for the meals of the Empress Dowager Xiaoshengxian.

And the huge birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager Xiaoshengxian's 80th birthday was the responsibility of him.

Zheng Er did his best to make a table of [Hundred Birds and Filial Piety Phoenix Banquet], which won the favor of the Empress Dowager of Xiaoshengxian, and also made Qianlong Longyan happy, and won a lot of rewards.

After confirming his identity, Li Yi also understood what kind of cuisine he was going to learn this time.

This time he had to learn how to make chickens, ducks, and other animals.

"Drowned in a water tank? Hurry up and catch a duck and send it to the store! Dumbfounded! ”

The middle-aged man is urging outside.

Li Yi calmed down, answered, and walked out of the door.

……

I don't know how long it took, Li Yi's consciousness returned, and he returned to the wooden tablet space again.

Looking at the inscription on the wooden stele, Li Yi got up and stretched.

It's okay to be possessed this time, it's not too long, it's not too short, it's thirty years again.
