Volume 1 Dali Fengyun 45 Eating bran and swallowing vegetables to win people's hearts, full of wine and food, prosperous and peaceful

When the people heard this, they also calmed down, thinking that in this peaceful and prosperous world, they had not heard anyone say that anyone still needed to eat this thing, and even if there were, it must be in that poor and remote country, how could they follow their opinions. And those young ladies are still not satisfied with ordinary food, this vegetable bran dumpling, I'm afraid I haven't even heard of the name. Several old people in the crowd had a hard life, and suddenly remembered the past, and tears silently dripped from their eyes. Hao Xiang Hao Wei frowned, only saying that this thing would only be eaten in the year of war and famine, and he had never thought about how to make this kind of food, the two of them did not move for a long time, and the crowd gradually became commotion. As soon as the "little prince" heard that he wanted to eat this vegetable bran dumpling, he hurriedly said that he wanted to withdraw from the jury, but he was stopped by a strong man on the side, he couldn't stop pleading, but the man didn't react, "Little Wangye" simply returned to the end of the team, hoping that everyone in front of him would eat more, and it was best to eat them all, so that he didn't have to try it again.

The two chefs had no choice but to bite the bullet and start dealing with the wild vegetable bran. The two assistants just handed over wild vegetables and coarse chaff, and then collected all the spices. Hao Xiang wanted to cry without tears, thinking that if there were some seasonings, maybe he could barely swallow them, or maybe he could bring a few eggs and mix them into the dish, maybe it would be much better. This is good, only vegetables and chaff, how can you make delicious food. He glanced at Hao Wei and saw that he didn't dare to start, which slightly relieved the depressed emotions in his heart. As if they had discussed, the two chopped the vegetable leaves into fine pieces and put them in a large bowl, and then waved a large knife to chop the coarse chaff very finely, and then mixed it into the vegetable leaves and stirred evenly. Everyone saw that the two of them had the same technique, and the ratio of vegetable leaves and coarse bran was almost the same, but they couldn't tell who was higher and who was lower. The two of them increased the heat, boiled the water in the pot until it boiled, put it in the steamer, and put the vegetable bran into a ball one by one. As everyone knows, if this vegetable bran is not added with eggs, it will be scattered into a pot when it is added to the water, and it cannot be made into dumplings at all, so it can only be steamed.

After steaming for a long time, the two of them retreated from the fire, opened the steamer, and everyone stepped forward to take a look, only to see that Master Hao Xiang's dumplings were slightly smaller, green and yellow, but they were very good-looking, but no one stepped forward to taste a bite. Looking at Master Hao Wei's here, the dumplings are only slightly larger, and the rest are no different from Master Hao Xiang. The crowd was still hesitating, and the crowd of onlookers was noisy, and some people shouted,

"Hey, why didn't I see you like this when I met something delicious, haha, you were specially selected for selection, and you are going to eat it quickly, and the two chefs made it will definitely not be bad." ”

Everyone cheered, pushing the game to another climax, Hao Xiang and Hao Wei's face was ugly, but he just looked at his group and didn't say a word.

A white-haired old man took out one from Hao Xiang's cage, broke it in half, handed it to the seven or eight-year-old girl next to him, and said with a smile,

"Grandpa used to eat this stuff a lot, it can fill his stomach, let's eat together. ”

The little girl nodded, took a bite on the half of the dough, and she chewed it a few times and said,

"Grandpa, it's sour, and it's so hard to chew!"

The old man finished eating it in one bite and said slowly,

"It's cut so carefully, it's much better than what grandpa made back then, since it was said that it was going to be evaluated, we must finish eating!"

After speaking, he took out another one from Hao Wei, broke off a small half and handed it to the little girl, and he ate the large half of the dumpling in one bite. The little girl took it, did the same as him, and swallowed it in her belly. She touched her stomach and smiled,

"Grandpa, I'm done eating!"

The old man smiled and pinched the child's face, and said no more. The commentators saw that the grandfather and grandson were like this, and they also stepped forward to eat it, and the two of them shared a dumpling, and everyone was like chewing wax, which was miserable, but fortunately, everyone had a share, and it was not bad to break the rules set by the son. Xiao Yi smiled helplessly,

"Next, please choose, Master Hao Xiang, or Master Hao Wei. ”

The people stood still, not moving. Hao Xiang and Hao Wei were not as arrogant as before, and the two lowered their heads and were silent. The scene was a little embarrassing, and Xiao Yi didn't know what to do. Just as he was hesitating, a man in white walked slowly from behind, you must know that there are all big men with long arms and round waists around here, this boy walked but no one stopped him, he should be a person. This boy attracted everyone's attention, Xiao Yi was about to speak, but when he saw the boy's left hand raised, Xiao Yi nodded in agreement and did not make a sound. Childe came to Hao Xiang and Hao Wei, took one out of each steamer, and then put it in his mouth and chewed it. His expression was a little strange, and everyone was even more surprised. Childe slowly swallowed the dumplings, walked in front of the pair of grandchildren just now, and then said,

"Old man, how do you make the vegetable bran dumplings you have eaten before, can you show them to everyone? ”

The old man hesitated slightly, and said with a smile,

"Whoever eats this thing now, it doesn't have to be!"

Childe smiled,

"It's okay, I just want to taste it. ”

Although the old man was puzzled, he let go of the girl's little hand and came to the board. Everyone stared at the old man, for fear of missing something. The man on the side handed over the coarse bran wild vegetables, and the old man put the wild vegetables and smashed them with a rolling pin, poured the coarse bran on them, added some water, and stirred well. On the side, Hao Wei came over to help, wanting to roast the stove more vigorously, the old man waved his hand, signaling that only a low fire was needed. He pinched small balls and put them in the pot, put the lid on the pot, and washed his hands in clean water. Long breathed a sigh of relief,

"This boy, this dumpling can also do this, the taste is better than the steamed one, you will have to taste it later, this method is a bit rude, but people want to live, and there are things that are more difficult to swallow. ”

Childe nodded and replied,

"That's what the old man said. ”

He looked back at the group of young ladies and said with a smile,

"Would you like to try it with me?"

Most of the young ladies knew Childe, and a few of them who had been with Childe since childhood wanted to shout, but they were glared back by Childe. The people couldn't hold back for a while when they saw that this young lady was deflated, and laughed out loud, but these young ladies competed for the first place, but everyone was shocked, and the young lady had no choice but to choose twenty. The people were puzzled, and they didn't know why this group of pampered young men and women could put down their identities and rush forward to eat chaff vegetables.

The old man took the lid of the pot, nodded, looked at the son and smiled,

"The heat is just right, the dumplings are pinched small, and they are cooked quickly, so the son will take advantage of this heat and eat it quickly, if it is cold, it will not be good. ”

Childe nodded, took out two of them himself, put them in his mouth and chewed them. This coarse chaff sometimes does not even want to be eaten by livestock, let alone people. Childe chewed extremely hard, but he still didn't want to swallow it directly, and everyone looked at him eating, and they were also a little admired in their hearts. The people said in their hearts, this person is crazy, he has seen pigs eat meat, but he has never seen people eat bran, and it is strange that he eats so naturally. All the young men stepped forward together, and each picked a dumpling and ate it. Some of the treacherous men put it in their mouths, and without chewing it, they swallowed it whole. A few others spit out as soon as they entered their mouths, secretly looked at the boy's expression, and silently walked back to the pot to take another one. Childe swallowed slowly, breathing a sigh of relief, he slowly walked to the position in front of Xiao Yi, and said with a smile,

"It's not very tasty, but it's something our ancestors ate before, and if it weren't for the peace of the world that they bought with their lives, how would we be able to eat and drink well, and watch this cooking competition in such a leisurely manner. ”

There was some noise among the people, and some people shouted,

"It's the emperor! It's the emperor! Long live the emperor. ”

I think it's also this son who is causing trouble everywhere, but unconsciously he is remembered by some people. At first, he stood at a low place, far away, and no one should see clearly, but at this time, standing at a high point, he was recognized as an identity. The people knelt down and shouted long live the emperor. Most of the young handsome people in that group knew Childe, but they were previously told not to reveal Childe's identity, and when they saw such a scene, they all knelt down. Tong Lu was reluctant, but he still knelt down with Xiao Yi Baiqing, according to his thoughts, they were people who could be on an equal footing with Gongzi, eating meat and drinking wine together, how could they kneel down at will, just to make Gongzi face passable.

Unexpectedly, Gongzi knelt down in front of the people, and everyone was shocked and didn't dare to speak. Childe's eyes were full of tears, and he said loudly,

"Everyone, please get up, the one who kneels should be me!"

The people didn't dare to move when they saw Gongzi kneeling. Childe smiled bitterly,

"It's good for me to get up with everyone. ”

As soon as the words fell, Sun Baoshan shouted sharply,

"Everyone, get up!"

Everyone got up slowly, but the scene was still very quiet, and the son said slowly,

"Everyone knows that I used to be an unlearned and unskilled gentleman, and most of the young ladies here also knew me, and many of them used to be in cahoots with me and did a lot of bad things. But when I shouldered the burden of the world one day, I realized that I was so unbearable before. I eat bran vegetables today just to tell you that I am a person who can share the suffering with the people. I made a vow here, even if I fought for my life in the future, I would definitely let the people of Dali live and work in peace and contentment. Officials at all levels in Dali will also think about what the people think and be anxious about what the people are anxious about. My Dali country will be able to be peaceful and peaceful, and the people of my Dali country will be able to enjoy peace forever!"

After saying this, the people were shocked, in their opinion, it doesn't matter who is the emperor, as long as he thinks about the people, he is a good emperor. Most of the people know what the emperor has done today, but this remark was said by him himself, but it made people a little overwhelmed. After a while, one person shouted the word "good" and clapped his hands again, and the people came to their senses and shouted loudly and applauded. Tong Lu approached Xiao Yi Baiqing and said with a smile,

"Childe's trick is a bit powerful, these words will definitely spread throughout the entire Dali Kingdom soon, and the bad things he did before have been erased lightly. He keeps calling me a master, and it seems that he has some way! Master, master, what a master!"

Xiaoyi Baiqing also nodded, and Baiqing frowned,

"I hope that Gongzi will keep his word and let the people live a good life, so that Brother Xiaoyi will desperately protect him. ”

Xiao Yi laughed,

"For the country and the people, this is the hero!"

The three of them looked at Childe together, only to feel that he was very different from before, and seemed to be a lot taller. Childe was very pleased, and he was ashamed that the people were so big-bellied. He pressed his hands, and everyone gradually quieted down, only to hear him say slowly,

"Folks, I came here early in the morning, I'm afraid that everyone is empty, all kinds of restaurants in the city of Dali have arranged a banquet, everyone enters the city to eat and drink well, it can be regarded as my new emperor's meeting gift to you! Baoshan, quickly arrange it. ”

The people applauded loudly, and some even sang praises for the emperor.

Sun Baoshan had already received private posts from various restaurants in the city, so he sent people to send the people over, and the whole process was in good order, even the old man who sold tea also had a share, and the son was very satisfied.

Childe came to Hao Xiang Hao Wei and said with a smile,

"The two of you didn't win or lose today, and I don't know when you will come back to the competition. ”

The two lowered their heads, and Hao Xiang replied softly,

"Your Majesty, the villains don't dare to try again, today's vegetable bran dumplings have lost face, and they don't dare to be aggressive anymore. ”

Hao Wei couldn't help but nod. Childe sighed and said,

"You haven't tasted the dumplings you made yourself, but compared to the dumplings made by the old people later, they actually taste pretty good!"

Hao Xiang and Hao Wei hurriedly picked up the dumplings and ate them, only to feel that the old man made them extremely difficult to swallow, and the taste was very weird. Hao Wei shook his head and sighed,

This is the bitter taste of life. ”

The old man was left by the emperor's side, pulling the little girl beside him, and he was also a little panicked. Childe took his hand and said with a smile,

"Old man, don't be afraid, how about we have a wedding feast together today. ”

The old man replied tremblingly,

"I don't know whose wedding banquet the emperor wants Xiao Lao'er to attend?"

Childe turned around and looked at Hao Wei, but Hao Wei always lowered his head, unaware. Xiao Yi couldn't look at it, and gently pushed him, he just looked up, saw Childe looking at him with a smile, and came back to his senses for a while.

"Me?!"

Childe laughed,

"That's you! That Xiaocui has already dressed up, just waiting for you to marry home. ”

The guard next to him took the groom's clothes and handed them to Hao Wei, who caught them with both hands and couldn't help trembling. Childe patted Hao Xiang and said,

"My brother is married, do you want to express it as an elder brother?!"

Hao Xiang was speechless for a while, and then listened to Gongzi's words,

"Why are you two so clumsy! Then listen to my arrangement, Hao Wei, my guards will give you half of it, and you hurry up to welcome Xiaocui back." Hao Xiang, this wedding banquet is set at 'Wind and Snow Moon', shouldn't you cook it yourself!"

When Hao Xiang and Hao Wei heard this, they woke up and hurriedly followed what Gongzi said. Lu Lu smacked his lips and said with a smile,

"Childe is really high! This is a wedding banquet in the whole city, but to give enough face to these two brothers, Childe has won a lot of people's hearts this time!

Childe smiled and patted Tong Lu on the shoulder, and said with a wicked smile,

"If you don't change Ming'er and tell you about family affairs, you tell me, what kind of do you like, as long as this Dali country is owned, I will find it for you!"

Tong Lu got rid of his hand and said with a smile,

"Hehe, I'm going to marry the princess of the Great Song Kingdom, I wonder if the prince can find it for me?"

Childe pondered for a moment,

"This is a little difficult, or the princess of Tubo, do you think it's good? Anyway, they are all princesses, they are all about the same, if you want to feel good, let's go to ask for a kiss immediately!"

Tong Lu didn't expect Childe to come out like this, so he talked nonsense and turned the topic to other things, and everyone didn't feel embarrassed when they looked at him. Childe held the old man with one hand and the little girl with the other, and slowly walked towards the "Wind Flower Snow Moon". The guards on both sides were far away, for fear of affecting the mood of the son. Xiao Yi and the three of them followed behind, laughing and playing from time to time, they looked around, only to feel that everyone had a smile on their faces, and suddenly felt that this Dali City had become a little different, and unconsciously seemed to have a sense of intimacy.

After a while, everyone came to the "Wind Flower Snow Moon", and the shopkeeper was all guarding the door, and when they saw the son coming, they carefully welcomed him in. In this "Wind and Snow Moon", there are many shopkeepers and men of Dongfu Building, which can be regarded as the representative of the groom. On the other side are the rural villagers, who should be the Xiaocui family and their neighbors. Childe laughed, and sat down at one of the tables with the old man and the child, and Xiao Yi and the three of them also sat down next to each other, their faces full of excitement. It turned out that all this was Sun Baoshan's idea, and the son also found it interesting when he heard about it, so he asked Sun Baoshan to supervise this matter. Sun Baoshan handled so many public and private affairs together, and handled them so properly, that everyone was also impressed by him.

After more than half an hour, the groom rode a tall white horse and appeared on the streets of Dali City. When the people saw that he was so fat, they were worried that the horse would not be crushed by him, but this was only a joke, and everyone was happy for him. The groom smiled from ear to ear, and kept waving around and clenching his fists, he didn't expect that this morning he would compete with his brother, and they didn't like each other, this just arrived at noon, and he rode back to welcome his sweetheart, and it was a wedding banquet set by the emperor himself, which was very magnificent, but it earned him enough face. The groom is followed by a large sedan chair, and the four people carry the sedan chair, although it is a little difficult but they are all happy, and the tulle in the curtain vaguely reveals the great figure of the person in the sedan chair. This should be Xiao Cui, Hao Wei's wife, Hao Xiang's brother-in-law.

Coming to the wind and snow, the wedding scene was very festive, after worshipping the parents of heaven and earth, and thanking friends and relatives, as well as the emperor himself to witness the marriage, everyone sighed how much blessing the Hao family had cultivated in the previous life. Hao Xiang excused himself to be busy in the back kitchen, and he didn't see his younger brother getting married at the scene, although the two did not agree, but to be honest, at this time, he was really happy for his younger brother. It's just that these two have been making trouble for so many years, but they can't untie all the knots in their hearts for a while, so they have to transform all these blessings into meals. Of course, the top chef of "Wind Flower Snow Moon" also has some means, and after a while, he will make more than ten kinds of delicacies, large and small, although not all of them are handled by him, but he also personally checks everything, without any ambiguity.

The food is all in order, and the wine is enough, how could these countrymen have thought that one day they would be able to eat in this "wind and snow", but now they are all dumbfounded, and they don't dare to put down chopsticks. When Childe looked at everyone, he also felt some emotion in his heart, thinking that although this world is stronger than before, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger. He stood up and smiled,

"Folks, today is the wedding day of our Chef Hao and Miss Xiaocui, please don't be polite, eat and drink well, these two newlyweds can be prosperous after marriage. Come on, come on, let's do it together!"

Childe raised the wine bowl, and everyone had no scruples and drank the wine in the bowl together. Childe was happy and poured himself another bowl, Sun Baoshan said softly in his ear,

"Childe, there are only two bowls today, but there can't be more!"

Childe smiled and nodded, and took another sip of his drink.

Hao Wei took Xiaocui to toast to each table one by one, and finally came to Gongzi's table. A few people looked at this Xiaocui, it was indeed a couple with Hao Wei, she was fair-skinned, a big round face seemed to be a few points wider than Hao Wei, her eyebrows were rich, her eyes were slightly open, and she smiled very happily, according to Lu Ziling's words, she knew that she could give birth to a son as soon as she saw her. It was only at this time that Hao Xiang appeared in this hall, and he couldn't wipe his face anymore, so he was forced out by the guy. When the two brothers met, they didn't say a word, and the scene was very embarrassing. Everyone also felt funny, Xiao Yi came close and stuffed a jar of wine into each of them, the two of them didn't speak, but they drank simply, and drank it all together, and it was a game of victory or defeat. The wine was strong, and the two of them quickly became a little confused. Xiaocui called out to the eldest brother on the side, Hao Xiang's heart and body were shocked, and she pulled Hao Wei to sit on the ground, and the two opened up the conversation, crying and complaining. The guy brought the wine and put it next to the two, and the two drank each other from time to time, and hugged each other from time to time and cried bitterly, the scene was extremely funny. Xiao Cui couldn't move the two, so she had to sit on the stool and watch the two purse their lips and snicker.

Childe enjoyed it very much, he had never eaten with the people, and although he couldn't drink more this time, he could be regarded as having fun with the people once. Sun Baoshan's face was a little embarrassed, and he leaned forward and said to his son,

"Childe, you see, things are almost done, and I will retire first?"

Childe looked at him suspiciously,

"What's going on in Baoshan?"

Sun Baoshan replied,

"My tigress gave birth, and I went back to see if it was finished. ”
