Prince Heng [Qing wear]

"There are similarities in people, and there are similarities in appearance. What's more, my mother and second uncle are brothers and sisters of the same mother. Fifth elder brother, you have been facing your cousin day and night, and you are already familiar with your cousin's face. Now looking at the courtier's daughter, you feel like you are a child. Familiarity is not impossible." Chunru calmly looked at the fourth elder brother in front of her, and said lightly.

"No, that's not what I meant, what I meant was—" I mean, you are like that girl who always appears in my dreams, hazy and never able to see her face clearly.

The fifth elder brother hurriedly wanted to explain, but Shi Yangui stopped in front of the fifth elder brother and interrupted him.

"Brother, it's time for lunch, let's go to Xiaohua Hall for dinner."

"But...but," but I haven't asked whether she is that person, Yinqi looked at the girl's back gradually going away, and felt pain in his heart for some reason.

"That's good, that's good." The fifth elder brother was helpless, Yangui seemed to have misunderstood, and took precautions like a disciple.

"Elder brother——elder brother—fifth elder brother—" Shi Yangui whispered in fifth elder brother's ear.

Fifth elder brother came back to his senses: "Yangui, what's the matter with you?"

"Fifth brother, the little flower hall is here, let's go this way with the grass people." Shi Yangui pointed to another direction that was completely different from the direction the girl left.

"Ah, oh, that's good." Fifth elder brother Mumu followed Shi Yangui in a daze.Seeing that they all ignored him, Xiao Ruo who was behind hurriedly followed behind his cousin.

"Hey, fifth elder brother, then shall we compare each other in the future?" Hao Ru shouted from behind.

The Fifth Elder Brother had already come to his senses at this time, he turned his head to look at this little guy, thinking that he was the younger brother of that girl, he felt a little softer in his heart: "Compare, of course, after lunch, I will meet with you Is it better than that?"

"Hmph, then remember to keep your word, don't be rude, whoever is rude will be Snowball." Ru Ru made a face, this Fifth Elder Brother is very bad, just now he just kept staring at his sister, it was too rude, He must win.

"Who is Xueqiu?" Fifth elder brother asked suspiciously.

"That's it," Ru Ru pointed to Xiaobai who was running back and forth, "My sister's name, it sounds nice. I don't know what that person thought at the beginning, but he named it for such a cute snowball. A name called Xiaobai has no cultural accomplishment at all."

"Xiaobai, is it very... hard to hear?" Brother Wu stammered a little, no, he thinks it's okay, shouldn't the white-haired dog be called Xiaobai.

"Fifth elder brother, don't you think Xiaobai's name is very silly?" Hao Ru rolled his eyes, although he knew that the fifth elder brother in front of him got the name, but he insisted on saying it, which made him mad.

"Well, that's it, huh, huh. Xueqiu really sounds better than Xiaobai." The fifth elder brother smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, little one, when I entered the garden just now, I saw a few trees. The flower is red like fire, I haven't seen it in the imperial garden yet, what kind of flower is that?" The flower gave him a very familiar feeling, as if that person only loved the kind of warm and prosperous flowers.

"Don't call me a little boy," Ru Ru said angrily, "Fortunately, you are still an elder brother, and you don't even know about Erythrina flower."

"You mustn't be rude. Fifth elder brother, my cousin is young, so I hope you will forgive me." Shi Yangui hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, I don't care about children's words. What's more, you and I are like brothers, so I naturally treat him as a younger brother." Fifth elder brother waved his hand, "Yangui, tell me about this Erythrina The origin of it, I really don’t know much about it.”

"As early as the Southern Dynasties, Quanzhou Prefecture was known as the City of Erythrina. If the flowers of Erythrina are more red, it means prosperity, auspiciousness and wealth. Therefore, people in Quanzhou love to plant them at home so that they can bring good fortune home." Shi Yangui explained, "My aunt prefers the poem 'At the first sight the branches are green and thick, but suddenly the fire army wants to burn them empty', so I specially asked someone to bring seedlings from Quanzhou and plant them at home."

"It turned out to be like this.' The Red Emperor often heard that there were three thousand buildings covering Yanzhou in the upper reaches of the sea. Today, the tree looks like a palace, and the red emerald is slanting on the twelfth floor.' It should be said to be this flower." The fifth elder brother sighed, "It's just that for some reason, this flower blooms so enthusiastically, but it always gives me a sense of sadness, as if someone is going to ride the wind and go home all of a sudden."

Shi Yangui laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to become sentimental, fifth elder brother. The little flower restaurant is here, elder brother come and taste if the food here suits your appetite." It's like this again, I don't know how many times it is, The fifth elder brother's point of view is always similar to Xiao Ru's. Is there really a theory of tacit understanding in this world?

"This is rice. The color is pretty. Why is there boiled meat in it?" Brother Wu was a little curious, "Is this the staple food for lunch?"

"You came today, so I specially prepared Quanzhou's special dishes for you. The salted rice you are referring to is also a special feature of Quanzhou. You see, this urn is divided into five grades, which are pumpkin salted rice and radish salted rice. Rice, salted rice with mustard greens, salted taro rice, salted pork belly." Shi Yangui smiled, "Which one do you want to try, just let the servant serve it for you."

"Then I want salty rice with pork belly." The fifth elder brother took the small bowl of rice handed over by the servant, scooped up a mouthful and put it into his mouth, "It's cool and refreshing, salty but not greasy. It's a good time to eat it at this season."

It's May now, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Eating this salty rice has greatly increased one's appetite.

"Fifth Brother, you might as well try this again. This is stone flower cream. The material is a kind of seaweed that grows on the reefs in the low tide zone of the Strait. It is boiled and filtered, and mixed with red bean paste, taro paste and honey. It is even more delicious. "Shi Yangui introduced, "As a snack before meals, it is the most appetizing."

This gypsum plaster looks crystal clear, pure and flawless, like crystal.The fifth elder brother thought it was something like cassava flour, but he didn't expect that it was crispy and tender, not as soft as tapioca soup, which added a lot of fun.

"Interesting, I think this thing is the best to relieve the heat. Why haven't I eaten such a dessert in the palace?" Fifth elder brother was a little regretful.

"This stone flower paste is made of seaweed on the reef, and it is extremely difficult to pick. Quanzhou is far away from the capital, and stone flowers and plants are not easy to preserve, so this thing is rare in the capital. In addition, there are tea shops in the capital. All the secret recipes and cool things to relieve summer heat, let alone promote this gypsum plaster." Shi Yangui laughed, "This gypsum plaster is meant to be fresh and cool. My brother, let's try this famous dish of Quanzhou. .”

"This is a fried bun." The fifth elder brother smiled, "Yangui, don't lie to me, this is obviously a fried bun from the north, and it will become a Quanzhou dish."

"Brother might as well try it before saying this." Shi Yangui was full of confidence.

Brother Wu picked up a pan-fried bun and tasted it, and found that the stuffing inside should be beef, and the skin on the outside was fried crispy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, very delicious.

"This is beef pot stickers, which is a favorite delicacy made by Hui people in Quanzhou Prefecture. The stuffing of this pot stickers is made of fresh red beef and tender ginger, and then made of fine noodles, which are fried in a pan and smoldered. The color of the potstickers is golden, the skin is crispy, and the meat is delicious. However, it does have similarities with the fried buns in the north, and it is inevitable for brother to admit his mistake." Shi Yangui picked up one and put it in the fifth brother's bowl, "brother again Eat some, this dish should be similar to elder brother's taste."

"This dish is indeed delicious. But if you say it is pot stickers, then it is not a Quanzhou dish, or in other words, this dish did not originate in Quanzhou at first." Finally caught the small loophole of the perfect accompanying reading, Wu Ah Brother is very proud.

Seeing the rare childish appearance of the fifth elder brother, Shi Yangui did not argue with him: "Then elder brother, can you tell me where this dish originated from?"

"This beef pot sticker should belong to Jinling cuisine, and it is the second best of Qinhuai Eight Wonders - Jiang Youji's beef soup and beef pot stickers." The fifth elder brother smiled proudly, "This pot sticker was originally a court dish. According to legend, the Northern Song Dynasty Jianlong three years Because the empress dowager's funeral had just passed, Song Taizu didn't think about tea and rice, and suddenly one day he smelled a tangy aroma coming from the dining room. Put it in a pan and fry it. Afterwards, the appetite became great, so the object was named pot stickers. Later Song Taizu entertained courtiers and gave them pot stickers to eat. After generations of imperial chefs, the pot stickers gradually spread to the people. Therefore, this beef pot sticker should belong to Jinling cuisine."

Shi Yangui laughed and said, "I didn't expect you, Fifth Brother, to be interested in these unofficial tales."

"Really?" Fifth elder brother was a little puzzled, "I remember Yangui, you are the most serious, you should not be interested in these things. Is there anyone in your family who likes to watch these things?"

"Yes, my little cousin always likes to read these things too... No, someone in the family likes to read them. Fifth elder brother, what miscellaneous books have you read recently? Be careful that the master in the Shang Study finds out and complains to the emperor." Shi Yangui Quickly change the subject.

"I didn't read randomly. The books I read recently are serious." The fifth elder brother said helplessly, "This little story was told to me by the second elder brother when he came back with Khan Ama to pay homage to Xiaoling."

The fifth elder brother continued to taunt: "This Song Tai-grandmother just passed her filial piety period, and she pretended not to think about tea and food in front of the officials, but after smelling delicious food, the king of a country can go to the imperial dining room in person. It can be seen that he Filial piety is nothing but false filial piety, and this so-called unending grief is nothing more than a pretense in front of the officials, it can be described as extremely hypocritical."

"How can unofficial history be believed, it's just to add a bit of fun to people before and after tea and dinner." Shi Yangui retorted, "What's more, no one can prove the truth of this matter, so how can you speak so nonsense. The Song Dynasty has been destroyed for a long time, and the Yuan Dynasty I have also edited the history of the Song Dynasty, but I think it is just a winner and a loser, and I don't know if I deliberately slandered it."

The fifth elder brother nodded: "That's true. I see that the official histories of the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States, and the dynasties, there are no lies in it. If you talk about the affairs of the court, it can be said that it is recorded by the living man every day. Isn't it ridiculous that what you think is also recorded together and called official history?"

The fifth elder brother paused for a moment, and continued: "What's more, even the words of the courtier's conspiracy, recorded in detail one by one in a certain year, month, and day, are deceiving people like a fool. Could it be that the historian who recorded it was lying on the It’s impossible for a rebellious minister to sniff out the window? Otherwise, how could he know such details? In my opinion, most of the official histories are just fabricated to fool the world. The so-called unofficial histories are precisely the facts, and they are not certain.”

"My brother hasn't even tasted alcohol yet, how come he's so drunk?" Shi Yangui had no choice but to start another topic bluntly. It is made by chopping and mashing it together with sweet potato powder. It has a tough texture and is delicious and delicate in the mouth. What do you think of it?”

"Fresh is enough to sum it up." The fifth elder brother also changed the topic, full of praise, "There are very few live fish in the palace. Those imperial chefs are afraid that the fish will not be fresh, which will make the master feel unwell, so I eat it in the palace. Most of them are dried fish and scallops. This time, it’s a real treat.”

Shi Yangui pointed to a soup and said to the fifth elder brother, "Then elder brother will try this four-fruit soup for the last time. This is also a famous dish in Quanzhou. It is mostly made of barley, beans, lotus seeds, white fungus, and various fruits. It's a pity Now that there are not many fresh fruits, this soup is less interesting."

"That's right, there are too few fruits now, and this four-fruit soup is not enjoyable at all." Lu Ru was finally able to talk, the two of them had been talking about things he couldn't understand before, Really, eat seriously when you eat, how can there be so many gossips to say, "By August, there are almost all kinds of fresh fruits, pineapples, lychees, mangoes, cherries, watermelons, all cut into cubes, and then poured on them." Yogurt served on ice is the delicacy in the world, a day that even gods can’t buy.”

"Although you are young, you know a lot. It seems that your brain has grown to how to eat. No wonder you are so smart." The fifth elder brother joked.

"That is, who am I, young master? Of course I am first-class smart. Hey, no." Lu Ru suddenly realized, "Brother, are you praising me? Hmph, you should eat well too It's almost time, let's have a duel."
