This is not the Datang I am familiar with

Chen Fang lifted the fish and was about to bow down. Li Zhi had already winked over there, Concubine Jing and Li Xiuyi had already walked down the steps.

At this time, Concubine De took Chen Fang's hand directly and walked up the steps.

"This fish?"

Naturally, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang had already seen the fresh fish that Chen Fang was carrying.

"Returning to your majesty and all the ladies, this is a fish swimming in the lotus pond of the Tang Workshop. These days, I have been greedy for petals. I have someone fish it out for your majesty and all the ladies to try!"

"The son-in-law has a heart, but this seems to be less!"

Chen Fang was distressed. He originally took it for His Majesty the empress, but he didn't know that there were so many empresses in Daming Palace.

Although the four concubines and nine concubines are not complete, there are still ten people, and this fish is obviously not enough.

Chapter 346 The Little Highness Is Crying

"Let people fish some fish from Taiyechi, and eat fresh fish from Tang Gongfang and Daming Palace for dinner today."

When Li Zhi spoke, eunuchs had already gone to convey the order.

Your Majesty's casual words may cause the eunuch to run and break his leg, and more palace people may be too busy for His Majesty's words.

Entering the main hall at this time, the game continued, a mahjong table surrounded by dozens of people, but it was very lively.

His Majesty must occupy a place at the card table. Originally, the empress also had to occupy a place, but when Chen Fang came, Wu Meiniang dragged Yiyang to talk, and naturally someone stood up there.

Chen Fang watched a few rounds at the poker table. As expected, all the ladies are thoughtful people. It is really difficult for His Majesty to lose when playing cards with all the ladies.

"By the way, Luluo, you go to Tai Chi Palace and call the princes and princesses here, as well as the crown prince."

Luluo is the new palace lady on His Majesty's side. Last time I met Chen Fang, she is both beautiful and beautiful. I didn't know her name last time, but this time I do.

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Luluo walked out, His Majesty pushed the bamboo card in front of him and won again.

The empresses all said with distressed faces that His Majesty would not let them, and then counted a lot of money to His Majesty.

Playing with all the empresses, of course I still use Qianfengquanbao money, it is not for winning or losing, it is actually just a counting tool.

For Li Zhi, winning money at the poker table is too underestimating His Majesty.

Chen Fang smiled in his heart, this poker game is a small society, at the beginning, everyone wants to win or lose, this is the stage of most people.If you lose, you will be upset, if you win, you will be happy. If you win a lot, you may wake up with a smile in your dream.

In order to win or lose, even cheating and peeping, all kinds of treachery and treacherous dangers are vividly interpreted.

At the intermediate level, I also understood that the poker game is actually just for entertainment, and the real use is to pass the time, let go of winning or losing, and experience the joy in the poker game.Give up winning or losing, go to the dispute.

Three or five friends, relatives and family members get together, the picture is just a pastime and entertainment, money is already a trivial matter.

At the advanced level, this poker table has become a game of life. Some people want to win, but some people want to lose. Sometimes it is more difficult to want to lose than to win.

At this time, the game was not for money, but for more things, such as the thoughts of the empresses at this time, naturally to please His Majesty.

Chen Fang watched a few games, but for him, this game was dull.I didn't care to look at the cards, so I went to sit with my daughter-in-law.

Seeing Chen Fang approaching, Wu Meiniang nodded. At this time, she originally said rouge, but now she said soap. As she was speaking, she saw several princes and princesses enter the main hall, but it was His Majesty who let them come.

Chen Fang took a look and nodded to the third princess, but saw that the little Highness seemed very unhappy at this moment.The prince didn't know why, but he didn't come.

Taiping had just entered the main hall at this time, he glanced at the royal father and the empresses at the card table, and then saw Chen Fang and the two imperial sisters.

Seeing Chen Fang, Taiping suddenly cried, which startled everyone in the hall.

Wu Meiniang hurriedly got up and walked towards her little daughter. His Majesty also got up and walked towards Taiping. He cried when he saw Taiping. He didn't have the heart to play cards at this moment.

All the empresses were also looking at the little highness at this time, why did the little highness suddenly cry just after entering here.Although the little Highness is only eight years old at this time, he is past the age of crying recklessly, so he shouldn't be crying at this time.

"Taiping, what's the matter? Empress Hug!"

Wu Meiniang picked up her little daughter and wiped her tears with a brocade handkerchief, but saw that His Royal Highness was crying even more, crying and looking at Chen Fang.

Chen Fang felt that His Highness's crying was related to him, so he hurried over at this time.

"Queen, the soap Fenzhu that Chen Fang gave me has become like this! Huh..."

Taiping took out the soap at this time, and Chen Fang glanced at it, but it turned out that the soap was seriously out of shape after being used several times by Taiping.

Taiping cried, but because of this.

Seeing the seriously out-of-shape little pink pig that Taiping took, Wu Meiniang was amused, and His Majesty and the other empresses couldn't help laughing too.

"Baby girl, this little pink pig soap is made of soap. You use it to make bubbles on your body in the bath. After using it a few times, it will definitely change its shape. Don't cry."

"But this is Chen Fang's birthday present to me!"

Chen Fang couldn't laugh or cry, seeing that His Highness was still sad, he hurried over, Xiao Taiping stretched out his hand to Chen Fang, Wu Meiniang handed the little daughter to Chen Fang.

"I'll have someone make another one for your Highness tomorrow, stop crying!"

"Really?"

"Really! When Chen Fang promised His Highness, when did he go back on his word?"

"Then I'll go to Tang Workshop to pick it up tomorrow!"

"Okay, when the time comes, I will take His Highness to row a boat in the lotus pond, and make sweet rice for His Highness to eat."

"Row the lotus pond! Sweet rice!"

Taiping seemed to think about it for a while, and the face that was crying suddenly smiled.

"No regrets!"

"Come on, Chen Fang and your Highness pull the hook!"

Pulling the hook was taught by Chen Fangzao to His Royal Highness.

At this time, the big hands and small hands and tail fingers are hooked together, and the thumbs are pressed together.

"Pull the hook and get on the sedan chair, for 100 years, no changes are allowed."

At this moment Taiping was finally happy, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang both looked at Chen Fang and nodded.It's better to coax Taiping, but it's better to coax Taiping, casually, Taiping is happy.

At this time, when the Taiping incident broke out, His Majesty was not in the mood to play cards anymore, Lu Luo took the maids to clean up the game, and Li Zhi took a group of ladies out of the hall.

"Accompany me to see how the fish in Taiye Pond are doing!"

"Your Majesty, why not grill fish by the Taiye Pond today!"

Wu Meiniang proposed, and Li Zhi naturally agreed happily.

At this time, I ordered the maids to go to the Shangshi Bureau to call for someone. This will start a fire in Taiye Lake, so naturally the little cooks from the Shangshi Bureau will be busy. Generally, the maids will only get busier and messier when they go, but they don’t know how to cook. .

At this time, Chen Fang heard that His Majesty was going to have a picnic by the Taiye Pool, so he suggested that His Majesty prepare a pot.

This is just a trivial matter for Li Zhi, so he ordered the maids and eunuchs to help him.

His Majesty brought a large group of empresses, concubines, princesses and princes to follow, and more eunuchs and maids to serve, the whole group was mighty.

When I arrived at the Taiye Pool, I saw that the Taiye Pool was very lively at this time. His Majesty asked him to fish in the Taiye Pool, but he didn't say how much he caught.

The eunuch who got the order dared not neglect, all the fishing equipment that could be found were put into battle at this time, such as fishing nets, harpoons, fishing rods, and even bamboo cages.

Hundreds of people were fishing in Taiye Pond at this time, and several large buckets of live fish had been placed by the lake.

Seeing Li Zhi, he hurriedly stopped the crowd and dispersed.

Originally, they were just catching a few fish to satisfy their hunger, but at this time, these people wanted to wipe out all the fish in Taiye Pond.

Chen Fang looked at the big wooden barrels where the fish were placed, and there were quite a lot of fish in them at this moment, in all sizes.

The little chefs from the Shangshi Bureau over there also rushed over after receiving the order. They were also in their twenties, and the scale was quite large.

"My son-in-law, you will command today!"

"Yes, the minister obeys the order!"

At this time, there were quite a lot of staff, so Chen Fang divided the many young cooks into three teams, one to process fresh fish, and the other to prepare wood-fired grills and seasonings.

Chen Fang kept the last group and directed it himself.

Chapter 347 Whole Fish Feast

At this time, people have been looking for pebbles. The pebbles are used to set up the stove. A pit was dug on the ground, and the pebbles were piled up. The iron pot that Chen Fangrang prepared was placed on the stove.

At this time, Taiping ran to Chen Fang's side, and he was busy with Chen Fang, but the children were bored, watching Chen Fang doing these things, and thought it was fun, so they came to help instead of helping.

Chen Fang was helpless, hugged Taiping, kissed her hard, and asked Yiyang to hug her aside.

At this time, the stove is ready, and the oil in the pot has begun to heat up. The fresh fish over there has been disembowelled, scales and dirt removed.

His Majesty asked him to command, Chen Fang naturally understood His Majesty's meaning in his heart.

To put it bluntly, even His Majesty is greedy. In these two palaces, both Your Majesty and Your Majesty like themselves.

Let yourself command, in fact, you want to eat what you make.

At this time, the fresh fish is put into the pot and fried in the frying oil mixed with seasoning.

Two fires were set up over there, and the fresh fish that had been processed were propped up by wooden frames and grilled on the fires.

There was only boiling water and soup left in the iron pot, and Chen Fang let the little cook handle it. He was busy by the fire for a while, and then walked to a fire with stone slabs.

Fried fish on a slate, this has already appeared in the Tang Dynasty. On the heated slate, the fresh fish fried in hot oil sizzled, and it was browned and fragrant for a while.

This place was busy, Li Zhi and all the empresses had already sat on the side, the eunuchs and maids brought tables and chairs, Li Zhi sat down, naturally there were people scrambling to serve them.

Rubbing his shoulders, rubbing his back and beating his legs, Chen Fang glanced at it, envious!It's good to be the emperor, the whole palace is full of women who want to serve His Majesty, what a joy it is.

Look at yourself, still busy here.

Just as he was thinking at this time, Wu Meiniang over there came behind Chen Fang in a fit of fireworks.Wipe off his sweat with a Jinpa.

"Your Majesty, there is a lot of oily smoke here. Your Majesty, go to the side to rest and wait. It will be fine soon."

"I just want to see you fry fish!"

Wu Meiniang said, Chen Fang was helpless, the empress wanted to see, so she had to let her see.

At this time, the distance was getting closer, and the smell of oily smoke wafted away, but Chen Fang could smell the body fragrance of the empress.

If you don't pay attention, you touch the empress, depressed, your majesty is sitting there, empress, you are looking for excitement.

A few more empresses came over there, but they almost surrounded Chen Fang.

Helpless, are girls curious about cooking by themselves?

The fragrance became more and more intense, and even His Majesty came here at this time, His Majesty came, and all the empresses came here at this time.

The smoke and smoke are accompanied by the smell of powder and rouge, but it makes people slightly intoxicated.

Start the pot, bowls of delicious pan-white fish soup, grilled strips of golden-yellow plump fresh fish, peeled off with chopsticks one by one, the white, tender and smooth fried fish...

There was a lot of coquettish laughter by the Taiye pool, there were several little princes and Taiping, and Chen Fang even specially made some fish cakes.

Fish cakes originated in Jingchu. According to legend, the king of Chu liked to eat fish but was afraid of fish bones, so someone offered fish cakes.

In fact, it also belongs to surimi, similar to fish balls.Generally, later generations will add eggs and pork to fish cakes, but Chen Fang only uses the fattest belly of the fish.

At this time, the kamaboko is also deep-fried, but it is not like ordinary steaming.

The fish cake was fried and skewered with bamboo slices. The little princes and Taiping ate happily. His Majesty over there also came to taste it, but he was full of praise, which made all the empresses want to see it. The fish cake was sold out in an instant , almost made Taiping cry again.

Fortunately, there are a lot of fish here, and if we do it again, the marinating process can be saved. The little cook helps, but there is no shortage of manpower.

This time, Taiping squatted next to Chen Fang for frying fish cakes. Chen Fang stroked her hair with his hands, and the little girl leaned directly in Chen Fang's arms.

This little girl likes to cling to Chen Fang now, and she doesn't know how long she will be clinging to.

After a busy day, His Majesty and all the empresses enjoyed their meal.

It really is something made by the son-in-law, but it is the most delicious food in these two palaces.

At this time, my stomach was full from eating, and I was walking by the Taiye Pool. His Majesty pulled Yiyang to talk, and Gao An accompanied him. pull.

Chen Fang looked at His Majesty and his wife in front of him, it was completely upside down.It's fine for you father and daughter to talk to you, your wife is all around me, and I'm not the emperor.

Hey, what can I do, I can only smell the rouge beside me, and feel the gentle hand of the empress, until Taiping ran over and insisted on letting Chen Fang hug, Chen Fang let go of the empress's hand.

After turning around the Taiye Pool for a while, His Majesty returned to the palace contentedly, and everyone naturally dispersed at the Taiye Pool.Wu Meiniang had to go back to Taiji Palace, she dragged some princes and princesses away, when she left, Taiping was still reluctant to part with Chen Fang, and said that she would go to the workshop to pick up the little pink pig tomorrow.

Naturally, boating in the lotus pond is indispensable, and sweet rice is even more indispensable. Chen Fang promised one by one, and Taiping was willing to be taken away by Wu Meiniang.
