spring and autumn officials

Chapter 17 Nine Dishes

Ji Ya said disdainfully: "You go to the dining room to prepare meals, what are you doing with a dog? It will not be too late to prepare meals first."

But Qi Lu said: "My brother doesn't know something, Goudaner is timid by nature, I am afraid that I will throw Goudaner in the dog shed, and scare me out later."

He was in a hurry to meet with Da Xingren just now, so he entrusted Prince Lin to the dog man, but Qi Lu also knew that although the dog sheds are all individual cages, they are all large dogs, in case the dog son is scared It's broken, it's not good to scare a psychological shadow.

Qi Lv insisted on going to the kennel first, there was nothing he could do to ask someone for the tooth sacrifice, and he was a bit embarrassed to hear him say "brother, brother, brother" so affectionately, let alone refute.

In fact, Xiaojunzi Ji is a typical type who prefers softness to toughness. Because he is used to being domineering and he is the nephew of Jixiang, no one dares to provoke him. Everyone is very alienated from him on weekdays. He treats him like a "bully", and suddenly Qi Lv comes, "I have no account" in my heart, so I am not afraid of myself, and instead of offering sacrifices to the little gentleman, I can't become a bully.

The two of them went to the dog shed, and heard the barking of the hounds from a distance, Ji Ya's legs suddenly began to shake, as if poured with copper water, he couldn't lift his legs no matter what, wished he could squat on the spot on the ground.

Ji Ya hesitated and said, "Well...you...you can go by yourself, I'll wait for you here."

Qi Lu smiled faintly, and said to the point: "Could it be that my brother is afraid? Could it be that... this hound is scarier than a big pedestrian?"

"Bah!" Ji Ya's eyes widened, he raised his head, patted his own chest, and said "Kong Kong" loudly, "Who's afraid!? I'm not afraid of dogs, let alone Gongsun Yan! Bah, just go, Go, go!"

As he spoke, his legs were still trembling, but he walked towards the dog shed with resolute steps.

Prince Lin stood in the dog shed, clung to the dog cage, and was baptized by the greedy eyes around him. Although Qi Lv hadn't been there for a long time, it was only a blink of an eye, but Prince Lin suddenly felt that it was a very long time. Long, long as if... forever.

Seeing Qi Lu with a pair of round black eyes, the little local dog immediately lit up "Teng!", wishing to shine brightly, he was angry and happy, surprised and sighed, and yelled "Awwhhhhhhhhhhhh" stand up.

Prince Lin: Qi Lu!Do you still know come back?

After Prince Lin said this, he faintly felt that something was wrong. It felt like a big girl guarding the spring boudoir, thinking day and night to meet her lover, but the lover was a ungrateful person, and it was hard to meet her face, ashamed and angry?

Fortunately, Qi Lu couldn't understand the little dog's "dog talk" at all. He walked over and unhooked the dog's cage. The little dog didn't care about the majesty of the emperor, and immediately let out a "owoo" from the dog cage. Jumping out, he swooped and plunged into Qi Lu's arms.

Qi Lu quickly put his arms around the dog son, and said with a smile: "My dear son, do you miss your father?"

Ji Ya let out a "tsk" and said impatiently: "You are looking for the dog, hurry up and go to the dining room, if you are late, Zi Gongsun Yan will try to punish us again later, haven't you heard of it? Do ugly people do more evil?"

Qi Lu smiled, it seems that Ji Ya has a deep prejudice against Da Xingren, and the prejudice against Da Xingren's appearance is even deeper!

Qi Lu carried the little dog in his arms, and headed to the temporary dining room in the camp, because this time the bet was heavy, not only between Ji Ya and Gongsun Zidu, but also between the Gong clan and the Qing clan, Ji Ya didn't want to lose the first class, and he was also curious about what kind of delicious food Qi Lu was going to use with beans, so he chased after Qi Lu and went to the dining room together.

The two of them entered the dining room with a dog. When the cooks saw Old Zhengcheng's bully Ji Xiaojun come in, they were frightened out of their wits. They were afraid that Ji Xiaojun would be unhappy, and they would chop them into meat, and hurriedly knelt down and trembled. Said: "Little little... I don't know how to sacrifice, to sacrifice... to sacrifice to the little gentleman, the little minister..."

Ji Ya waved his hand, interrupted their stuttering, and said, "It's none of your business, put down the beans, and you can do the rest."

"Yes, I respect you." The cooks seemed to be pardoned, and although they didn't know the situation, they still put down all the beans, and built a basket of beans into a pagoda, put them aside, and then avoided them all.

Qi Lu was about to prepare the meal, so he stuffed the little dog into Ji Ya's arms.

"Ah!" Ji Ya seemed to be scalded by fire, he was so frightened that he almost threw the little dog on the ground and shouted, "What are you doing!?"

That expression, that voice, that voice, it was as if Qi Lu had been molested by him, as if Qi Lu was the bully that the overlord forced his bow on.

The little dog was placed in the arms of Ji Ya by Qi Lu, and he was quite disgusted. Because the Zhou royal family was pressured by Zheng Guo, Prince Lin had never been "very close" to Zheng Guo. If Prince Lin ascended the throne, the first What I want to do is to remove Zheng Boyu from the position of a sergeant in the royal family of Zhou, so that Zheng Guo can no longer be arrogant.

Ji Ya is not only Ji Zhong's nephew, but also a well-known dandy bully, so Prince Lin Ding doesn't look down on Ji Ya anymore, and now he is stuffed into Ji Ya's arms, with a thick face written all over his face like a puppy. dislike.

Compared with Ji Ya and the little dog, Qi Lv smiled slightly, naturally tucked the hem of the robe into his belt, rolled up the sleeves of the young bastard, revealing a pair of pale-skinned arms, and said: "Of course I have to take care of the meal for my brother. How can I take care of the meal when I hold the dog in my arms? Brother Lao will help me take care of the dog for a while."

Ji Ya held the little dog in his hands, his whole body was very stiff. Seeing Qi Lu rolled up his sleeves and robes, revealing his white arms, those arms were not those of a cook, but rather like a scholar. His arms were as white as jade.

Ji Ya watched, and saw that Qi Lu was always smiling at him, smiling like a spring breeze, for some reason, his face suddenly turned red, and he quickly turned his head away.

Prince Lin was held between the teeth of Sacrifice. This method of hugging the dog was very uncomfortable. The little dog patted his short legs hard, listening to Qi Lu say "brother" and "brother" and other words, In the blink of an eye, the widow just squatted in the dog cage for a while, and Qi Lv became so close to the sacrificial tooth of Old Zheng Cheng Yiba, calling him brother and brother at the same time.

As soon as he turned his head, Ji Ya blushed and didn't dare to glance at Qi Lu.

Qi Lu didn't care, entrusted the little dog to Ji Ya, cleaned his hands, and was about to start cooking with soybeans. Ji Ya felt a little unnatural, scratched his chin, and said, "What are you going to do with soybeans?" What kind of taste? That Gongsun Yan has a very tricky mouth, he is an upright old Zheng, born in a noble family, what kind of delicacies have you never tasted?"

What Jiya said is true, Gongsun Yan was born in Zheng Guogong's family, and he has eaten all the delicacies since he was a child. Who among the princes of the four directions today will not follow Zheng Bowu to conquer the world?Naturally, the best filial piety should be given to Zheng Bowu, and Zheng Bo loves seeing his brother very much, so there is no delicacy in this world that Gongsun Yan has not tasted.

Furthermore, the state of Zheng is located in "China". Although the emperor of Zhou has begun to decline these years, he has not completely declined. The princes from all over the country still need to pay tribute and worship the emperor every year. The princes from all over the world want to go to Luoshi to worship Son of Heaven, it is natural to borrow a way. The geographical location of Zheng Guo is superior, just next to Luoshi. Every year, there are countless princes of countries who borrow from Zheng Guo. Naturally, Zheng Guo also made a lot of benefits, so Zheng Guo became a The hub of economy and transportation, everything from all over the world gathers here.

Because of these two points, Gongsun Yan, as the representative of the aristocrats of Zheng State, has naturally seen many worlds, and it is really not easy to get the praise of the "mean" Gongsun Yan.

As long as Ji Ya thinks about it for a while, he feels his head is big!

Qi Lv was not in a hurry, with a posture of nothing to do with himself, and a posture of being confident, he rolled up his sleeves, first picked some better quality beans, and turned his head. Look, there is a large bronze vat in the corner, which is full of beans soaked in it, which is cheaper for Qi Lu, and he doesn't have to bother to soak the beans.

Ji Ya was in a hurry, because he was afraid of losing to Gongsun Yan and being ridiculed by Gongsun Yan, he was not even afraid of dogs, and he didn't know what Qi Lv was doing. Grind beans.

These days, there is no grinding disc, and grinding beans is very troublesome, so Shudou is generally eaten with steamed beans and rice, but because soybeans are not easy to cook, so it tastes either raw or tasteless. Generally, nobles do not eat Shudou, Shudou is People without status and money eat food.

Qi Lu ground the beans and began to filter the pulp again. His movements were smart and quick, without any muddle. His eyes were dazzled, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Speaking of soybeans, that is, soybeans, although ancient people looked down on soybeans and thought they were not tasty, in fact soybeans have very high nutritional content. Modern people have rectified soybeans and made various soybeans. Delicacy has also been researched one after another. Qi Lu can think of at least eight/nine kinds, and the easiest and most convenient soybean delicacy is soybean milk.

There are already a lot of beverages in the palace these years. The beverages are roughly divided into Liuqing, Wuqi, and Sanjiu. Regardless of the backwardness of productivity in the Spring and Autumn Period, the common people could not eat meat, but the nobles still enjoyed it very much. Drink it, and ask for a color palette, just like the current cocktails.

Ji Ya is a person who has seen the world, and he has eaten countless banquets. Seeing Qi Lu grind the beans to "rotten mess", filtering and boiling them, it seems that there is no way to make a pot. It is strange I couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is this?"

Qi Lu poured out the cooked soymilk, although they were a sending off team, because they were sending off Zheng Ji Gao to marry, so the dining room also brought a lot of condiments, as well as a lot of sweet stone honey.

Qi Lu poured the stone honey into the soy milk for seasoning, and said with a smile, "What is this, may my brother come and taste it for himself?"

Sacrifice the teeth with a half-belief, thinking about the things made from bean beans, grinding and boiling, will it be good?But after thinking about it, after Qi Lu's pair of masterful hands, the stinky snail powder can make people taste the marrow, let alone the bean beans. Qi Lu has this ability to turn decay into magic.

Ji Ya simply put his mind to the side, and immediately took a sip. The mouth was warm, with a sweet taste, not greasy, and there was a burst of fragrance of beans, as if it was similar to the beans that Ji Ya had eaten. Not a breed!

Ji Ya's eyes lit up in an instant, and he took a sip in disbelief, with two cat whiskers hanging around his mouth, he said in shock, "This...is this made of soybeans?"

Qi Lu chuckled, and said lightly, "Exactly, this drink is called soybean milk."

Ji Ya was amazed again and again, and said: "This is really amazing! Such a drink can be made from beans, which is sweet and not greasy, and has a bean fragrance!"

The little earth dog’s black eyes stared at the soy milk filled with adzuki beans. It was slightly yellowish, but also a bit milky white. Can't help feeling a little greedy, with his short legs upside down, he got out of Ji Ya's arms, went to the table, picked up the bronze beans with his small paws, the action was quite spiritual, and lightly licked the soybean milk with his small tongue.

It's sweet, and the taste is quite fresh. The little soil dog's black eyes lit up instantly, and it licked several times "bajibaji". Sitting on the desk, he rubbed the little paws that were stuck with soy milk on the cloth towel next to him. The little soil dog is still a very tidy dog, and wiped the little paws clean.

Ji Ya was happy now, with a cat's beard, and said with a "sinister" face: "Hmph, Gongsun Yan must have never eaten beans...what's the matter with beans? Yes, soy milk! Let him lose this time." Convinced! Why can’t Shudou get on the stage?”

Qi Lu shook his head and said: "My brother's words are wrong. Although Da Xingren has never seen soy milk, but a bowl of soy milk, how can he convince Da Xing? Nine kinds of bean and bean dishes."

When Ji Ya heard it, there was a "gurgling" in his stomach, and he cried out greedily, and the little dog next to him also looked at Qi Lu eagerly, as if the two of them were silently urging Qi Lu not to betray him.

Qi Lu smiled easily, and when it came to food, he seemed to have endless things to say: "In addition to this soy milk, there are also tofu with shallots, braised tofu, mapo tofu, lotus seed stuffed tofu, sweet and sour crispy tofu, Wensi tofu soup, Sweet bean curd, salty bean curd, spicy slices."

Qi Lu really reported the names of nine dishes in one breath, not to mention the old Zheng Chengyi's sacrificial teeth, even the majestic new emperor Prince Lin, who had never heard of a dish name, was simply ignorant!

Qi Lu's smile was faint, and he said confidently: "Sour, sweet, bitter, hot, salty, this little bean can taste all kinds of flavors. Are you afraid that it won't be able to stop Gongsun Daxing's tongue?"
