Chapter 68: Dishes
From the beginning of the wooden kite system of the public class to peek into the Song City, the appearance of kites was for the military.
Later, Han Xin had people make large kites and install bamboo whistle bowstrings to float the Chu camp at night, making it make strange sounds and achieve the effect of embattled, and the mission of the kite is to fight.
In the Ming Dynasty, kites were used to carry explosives, and according to the principle of "kite collision", the fuse on the kite was detonated to achieve the purpose of killing and injuring the enemy.
"What's the pity? If you like, you can draw it again. "Ye Gu Yuanhong's painting is intended to be used to paste kites, so it is very large, not particularly fine.
"Okay, I want to tell you something." Su Ruoshui pointed to the screen, and Ye Gu Yuanhong drove out all the people outside.
"Last time, you said that there was a horse gang in Jiangnan, and the Wuthering Mountains Forest was against the imperial court, and they took advantage of the geographical advantages and were easy to defend and difficult to attack, right?"
Ye Gu Yuanhong sent people down to Jiangnan to investigate the Death Gate, which was an extremely hidden organization. Nothing could be found, only clues pointed to the bandit Horse Gang, which did not rob the people and specialized in killing the officials of the imperial court.
Not to mention the arrogance of this horse racing gang, just talking about the geographical location they occupy makes the imperial court helpless.
They stationed their troops on Qiyun Mountain, behind the mountain is the sea, the mountain is extremely steep, and there is no way to climb from the sea to the sea.
They have sentry posts, ships appear, they will be prepared in advance, and no one will want to go up the mountain from the sea.
On the other side of the mountain is a cliff, and Qiyun Mountain seems to have been split by a sword of the gods. There is a broken stream in the middle, and half a mountain peak on each side.
The broken stream is seventy or eighty meters wide, and the people of the horse gang want to enter and exit the iron cable suspension bridge, and usually the suspension bridge is put away, who can jump over the cliff?
"What can you do?" Ye Gu Yuanhong asked her for advice very seriously.
In this regard, he believes that Su Ruoshui has superior opinions, after all, she is the daughter of Jiangmen, seeing that she acts boldly and her kung fu is not bad, she may have read a lot of military books.
How did he know that Su Ruoshui hadn't read a word of the military book, she just relied on the fact that she had 5,000 years more history than him in her heart.
"At night, arrange warships on the seashore, put a large number of black kites on the opposite peaks, remove the bamboo whistles, load them with gunpowder, and detonate the gunpowder with 'kite touches', and they will flee in a panic, and there are warships on the seashore and interceptors at the drawbridge, will they not be attacked on both sides and succeed in one fell swoop?"
Su Ruoshui also looked at Ye Gu Yuanhong seriously, she was completely on paper, she had never participated in the war, and catching thieves was her strength.
Ye Gu Yuanhong also considered releasing rockets, but the range of the arrows was too close, 100 meters was the limit, and the arrows from standing on the edge of the cliff could shoot to the opposite shore at most, and there was no lethality at all.
This is not the case with kites, which can reach up to five kilometers or even more when flown well.
"What is a kite bump?" Ye Gu Yuanhong has never heard of 'kite bump'.
"It is also called touching butterflies, also called sending meals, that is, when flying a kite, put the 'kite touch' on the line, as long as you press it, it will automatically run along the line to the kite, touch the kite, and it will automatically come back."
"Will you do it?"
"You can try." Su Ruoshui liked to play with kites when he was a child, but the kite that caused the gunpowder was only seen in books. "In fact, they don't have any advantage in such a terrain, as long as they hold on both sides, they will be trapped to death."
"They open fields and farm in the mountains, so they don't have to go down the mountain for the rest of their lives, and reinforcements will arrive within three days."
Ye Gu Yuanhong knew that the Horse Racing Gang might just be a small branch of the Afterlife, but if he could break one finger of it, he had to break it.
No matter whose power it is, it will not be the imperial court. It had escorted the Tianshan Snow Lotus for the Empress, at least there was a connection between it and the Empress.
Even the queen of the employment relationship used anti-court forces, and as long as she found evidence, she could go to the Golden Palace to sue her.
And it's hard to say whether the queen really has the intention of rebellion, and the truth may have to be revealed with blood.
After another three days, Su Ruoshui was finally allowed to take a shower. The bedroom can finally open the windows and open the door for ventilation.
After Su Ruoshui bathed and changed clothes, she felt that the whole person was refreshing, Qingyun and Shaoyue helped her over to have lunch, and saw that fifty or sixty dishes were densely arranged, Su Ruoshui almost drooled.
It turns out that the ordinary life of the crown princess is so beautiful, why didn't you feel it before?
People can only know how to cherish if they have really lost, lose all privileges, lose the opportunity to eat whatever they want, and then look back and have all this when a strong sense of happiness arises spontaneously.
Su Ruoshui looked like she had never seen so much food, and her eyes were not enough when she sat there. She wants to eat any dish, and she doesn't want to give up any dish.
"I've decided, let's take a bite." Su Ruoshui felt that this way of eating was the least lossy.
Ye Gu Yuanhong smiled softly: "Are you tasting vegetables?" ”
Su Ruoshui used to have more than ten dishes at a meal when he was in Su Mansion, and he didn't taste the dishes at all. She didn't know that the dishes she was facing now were actually all just tasted by the little eunuch.
"Well, I'll be responsible for giving you a taste of food in the future, and you can eat my leftovers every day."
"I don't mind, it's just that you robbed someone else's job, you know?"
"So someone really tastes it for you?"
"Of course, every dish is tasted before you enter the door."
"Huh?" Su Ruoshui lost his appetite for a while: "It turns out that you give me leftovers every day." ”
Seeing that Su Ruoshui's facial features were all gathered together, Ye Gu Yuanhong couldn't help but want to laugh. The royal rules are like this, he has eaten like this since he was a child, and he doesn't feel anything.
There are also rules for tasting food, and it is definitely not the kind of tasting method she imagined.
Seeing that she didn't even want to eat, Ye Gu Yuanhong began to tell her how to make royal rice.
Basically, as long as he shouted 'pass the meal' at any time, these dozens of dishes would be put on the table immediately.
It is absolutely impossible to make it freshly, it is all made in advance and simmered on the fire, and it can be put on at any time, some half a day in advance, and some one to two days in advance.
Basically, these 'hot' meals play a role in pomp, sometimes put it up and take it down, and then put it up again at the next meal. Until it is about to spoil, give it to the next person to eat or throw it away.
The dishes they really ate were the dozen or so dishes placed nearby, and these ten or twenty dishes were not passed down from the imperial dining room, but were made by each palace's own small kitchen.
This is what you eat, and in addition to the large banquets, the food you usually cook in the imperial dining room is to see.
How wasteful is it to do this every day? Even though Su Ruoshui was born in a wealthy family, he was stunned by this arrogance.
