spring and autumn officials

, disturbed Taifu, and asked Qi Taifu to forgive his sin. "

Qi Lu quickly waved his hand and said, "Qi Lu was rude, please don't take offense at the special envoy of Qi State."

As Qi Lu said, he quickly regained his composure and carefully looked at the envoy of Qi State in front of him.

About 40 years old, tall, well-mannered, with a mustache, looks very upright and decent, the standard for scholar-bureaucrats.

The reason why Qi Lu was so shocked, so shocked that he choked on food, was because he heard the words "Uncle Bao Jing".Perhaps when it comes to Uncle Bao Jing, many people don't know who it is, but when it comes to Uncle Bao Jing's son, I am afraid that no one who has read the history of the Spring and Autumn Period knows who his son is.

That is the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons Qi Huangong's assistant minister, one of the protagonists of the idiom "Guan Baozhijiao", the life-and-death friend of Guan Zhong, the one prime minister through the ages-Bao Shuya!

Bao Shuya was born in a wealthy official family. His father, Bao Jingshu, took Bao as his surname because he was in the fief of Baodi.It can be said that Bao Shuya’s family was not short of money when he was a child. Bao Shuya was smart since he was a child. Although he was a great talent, he was unwilling to become an official.

It can be said that Bao Shuya's eyes are as bright as a torch. He didn't like Zhuer, the eldest son of Qi State, nor Jiuer, the second son of Qi State, but Xiaobai, the youngest son of Qi State. In the days of Li Chang, it took extra determination for Bao Shuya to assist his son Xiaobai.

Later, it turned out that Bao Shuya's vision was extremely accurate. After the death of Qihou Lufu, after the turmoil between the eldest son Zhu'er and Gongsun Wuzhi, Bao Shuya finally assisted the son Xiaobai to ascend to the position of the king of Qi, and became the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period. .

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that although Guan Zhong was the prime minister throughout the ages, without Bao Shuya's protection, it would have been impossible for the young prince Xiaobai, who was in a disadvantaged position at that time, to be the king of Qi.

Qi Lu didn't expect to meet Bao Shuya's own father on Zheng Guo's land, what kind of fate is this?

Qi Lu couldn't help but look at Uncle Bao Jing a lot. Bao Shuya is Uncle Bao Jing's son, so there should be some similarities in appearance?Looking at it this way, I feel that Bao Shuya is probably also a gentleman, full of the gentleness of a scholar-bureaucrat.

Qi Lu was watching intently, Ji Lin had been silently watching Qi Lu, seeing Qi Lu distracted by a scholar-bureaucrat from Qi State, he felt a little uncomfortable, Qi Hou Lufu's intention to win over Qi Lu was so obvious, If Qi Lu really ran away with Doctor Qi, what should I do?

Immediately, Ji Lin found an excuse casually, left the seat of the emperor, and didn't go directly to Qi Lv's face. I was afraid that his actions were too obvious. Behind Qi Lu, he strained his ears, thinking of himself as a big dog, and carefully eavesdropped on the conversation between Qi Lu and the envoy of the State of Qi.

Uncle Bao Jing didn't expect Qi Lu to be so friendly, so he hurriedly toasted Qi Lu. When he toasted, his wrist trembled slightly, and he almost spilled the wine. Dirty the Taifu's clothes."

Qi Lu didn't pay attention, but said: "Lv saw that the envoy of Qi State was slightly fighting with his wrists, but what stubborn disease is there?"

Uncle Bao Jing laughed and said, "Hey, what kind of chronic illness is it? It's just paralysis."

In ancient times, the word "bi" represented many diseases. The stubborn numbness mentioned by Bao Jingshu is actually a disease that plagues many people. Simply put, it is arthritis and gout.

Uncle Bao Jing looks to be in his forties, so it is reasonable to have some illnesses on his body. Seeing that his wrists tremble slightly, it must be that he has recently suffered a serious illness.

This country of Qi is located in the east, backed by the sea, and relatively humid. When you come to the central plains of Zheng country, it is inevitable that you will be a little unaccustomed to the environment. In this changed place, gout is naturally prone to attack.

Uncle Bao Jing said with a smile: "Uncle Jing also has a gluttonous problem. He really should be beaten. He is obviously suffering from stubborn numbness, but he likes to eat aquatic products. I'm afraid he won't be able to eat without aquatic products."

Seafood is the most taboo thing for gout, but Uncle Bao Jing eats it desperately. He likes to eat seafood the most. Without seafood, it will kill him. It may also have something to do with the geographical location of Qi. After all, it is backed by the sea. , Qi is rich in aquatic products.

When Qi Lu heard this, he noticed something in his heart, and said: "The envoy of the Qi State is obstinate, so he should avoid talking, but although he can't eat aquatic products, fish is an exception."

Gout can eat fish, especially fish with low purine, and you can eat it with complete peace of mind. Speaking of fish with low purine, it must be mandarin fish.

Uncle Bao Jing knows that Qi Lu has a hobby, that is, he likes to cook meals. Most scholars and bureaucrats don't have this hobby, but Taifu Qi is different. After dinner, the two hit it off inexplicably.

Uncle Bao Jing is a master at eating fish, and he especially likes to eat fish. When he talks about fish, his eyes light up, and he can't stop talking.

Qi Lv said: "Although mandarin fish is an aquatic product, it can be eaten with confidence. If the doctor of Qi State is afraid of stubborn numbness and pain, he can also use mandarin fish to satisfy his greed."

Uncle Bao Jing naturally knew the benefits of mandarin fish, tender and delicious, but this mandarin fish has been eaten a lot, where can other aquatic products be fresh and delicious?

When Qi Lu heard this, he smiled and said, "This is easy to handle. Doctor Qi must have never eaten... squirrel and mandarin fish."

"Squirrel mandarin fish?" Uncle Bao Jing is a conceited eater. When it comes to aquatic products, there are no dishes he has never eaten, but hearing Qi Lu say the word "squirrel mandarin fish" is really very fresh.

Squirrel mandarin fish is one of the classic dishes in Jiangsu. The fish is deboned, sliced, deep-fried, and topped with sweet and sour sauce. one.

Although the current condiments are not complete enough, but they can be replaced, Qi Lu immediately turned to the lamb shoulder and said, "Xiao Yang, please write a recipe."

Yi Yangjian always took the place of Qi Lu to write the pen, and immediately wrote down the recipe of squirrel mandarin fish according to Qi Lu. I didn’t know there was such a dish, I’m really ashamed.”

Uncle Bao Jing accepted the recipe of squirrel mandarin fish with pleasure, and he hit it off with Qi Luna, and chatted a lot about delicious aquatic products. Ji Lin listened secretly from behind. They were talking about delicious food, which is why they were so happy. ?

Ji Lin put his heart back into his stomach and continued to listen to the delicious aquatic products. After eating the seafood porridge made by Qi Lu, as well as Pipi shrimp and pickled fish, Ji Lin became more and more interested in aquatic products. Just listening to the squirrel mandarin fish, I feel that the sweet and sour juice of the squirrel mandarin fish has already slipped in the mouth. The fresh and tender fish meat is burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. It is delicious and appetizing when chewed in the mouth. It seemed as if all the food he had eaten had been digested.

Qi Lu and Uncle Bao Jing talked very well, Uncle Bao Jing was totally surprised, he is a smart man, he didn't invite Qi Lu to enter Qi Kingdom for the first time, but was preparing to infiltrate slowly, after chatting, he retreated knowingly.

Ji Lin thought, now that Uncle Bao Jing is gone, it's the widow's turn, right?Ji Lin just wanted to walk to Qi Lu's side by a special coincidence, but he didn't know that there was a person poking his head in the corner and beckoning to Qi Lu secretly.

Ji Lin took a closer look, and it was Zheng Ji!

Today, many ladies and gentlemen came to the banquet, all of them came to climb up to the new emperor. The new emperor ascended the throne and established his prestige, and his methods were vigorous and resolute. I don’t know how many scholars and bureaucrats have been frightened, and I don’t know how many girls’ hearts have been fascinated, so this meeting is here. There are quite a few famous daughters in Zheng Guo, and they all know that Ji Lin has no wife, and maybe she is the future wife of the Son of Heaven.

Zheng Ji also came to the banquet, but his target was not Ji Lin, but Qi Lu.

Zheng Ji stood in the corner, beckoned to Qi Lu, and signaled Qi Lu to go over. After seeing Zheng Ji, Qi Lu didn't "avoid like a snake" like before. Instead, he smiled and immediately went up to her without hesitation.

The sour water that the emperor took just now suddenly came up again, feeling sour and heartburning!

In fact, Qi Lu's attitude towards Zheng Ji changed, not because Qi Lu fell in love with Zheng Ji, but because Qi Lu and Zheng Ji became...friends.

That's right, the two are solid friends in the dining room. In modern terms, Zheng Ji seems to regard Qi Lu as a good girlfriend.

This is also a headache for Qi Lu. Zheng Ji doesn't seem to see herself as a man at all, which is a headache...

Zheng Ji waved to Qi Lu, her face was full of excitement, Qi Lu walked over, Zheng Ji took Qi Lu's hand, like a playful little girl, said excitedly: "Teacher, Ji has made cheese It's done! It's a success! It's really a success this time!"

Seeing Zheng Ji grabbing his hand, Qi Lu wanted to avoid suspicion, but he didn't want to hear what Zheng Ji said, so he forgot to avoid suspicion, and said in surprise, "Really?"

When I was in Luoshi a few days ago, Qi Lu gave Zheng Ji the method of making cheese, but in ancient times, there was no lemon or white vinegar, so I could only use rice wine to order cheese, which was not easy to succeed.

Zheng Ji likes to prepare meals, Qi Lu taught her the method, so she let her think about it, who knows that Zheng Ji came to her happily today because she really made cheese.

Zheng Ji smiled very happily, as if she had got some treasure, it was not cheese, but a mountain of money, and said: "Ji made cheese, so I want to ask the master to taste it."

Qi Lv looked around. Anyway, today is the emperor's welcome banquet, so it has nothing to do with him. He was also very curious about the cheese Zheng Ji made, so he said, "There is nothing wrong with you, let's go now."

Zheng Ji nodded quickly, and the two slipped out of the banquet together.

Ji Lin watched from a distance, first saw Zheng Ji holding Qi Lu's hand, and then saw the two people laughing very intimately, followed by the laughter, one after the other, they left the banquet one after another, without knowing where they were going.

Ji Lin jumped up mentally, the two of them, the lonely man and the widow, went somewhere, Qi Lu drank some wine, Ji Lin really didn't dare to think about it, and immediately went to Duke Zhou with a very dark face. Hei Jian said: "Leave for a while, the widow. If there is something to do, Duke Zhou will take care of it."

Hei Jian quickly said: "Yes, please rest assured, the Son of Heaven."

Ji Lin left in a hurry, following in the footsteps of Qi Lu and Zheng Ji, Guo Gongji's father scratched the back of his head strangely, and said, "The Son of Heaven is in such a hurry, is there something urgent?"

Hei Jian chuckled lightly and said, "Duke Guo just drinks."

Qi Lu and Zheng Ji didn't know that they were being followed, they also knew how to avoid suspicion, one after another left the banquet, Zheng Ji was waiting for Qi Lu at the intersection in front, and then "surreptitiously" met.

Zheng Ji smiled and said, "Teacher, Ji brought the finished cheese into the palace and put it in the dining room."

Zheng Ji made the cheese early in the morning, and was waiting to see Qi Lu at today's banquet, but Zheng Ji couldn't bring the cheese into the banquet, so she had to put it in the dining room, so the two of them went to the dining room.

This dining room is a partial dining room, and the dining room where the banquet is prepared is on the opposite side. There is usually no one here, so Zheng Ji put the cheese into the partial dining room.

Zheng Ji wished she could jump up all the way, humming a little tune, walked into the dining room, stretched out her hand to open the lid of the red lacquer box, and said happily: "Teacher, please look, this is the cheese made by Ji... ah !"

As soon as Zheng Ji finished speaking, she looked down proudly, her face paled with fright, and with a "bang--", she threw the exquisite red lacquer cover on the ground, her eyes were red, and she was about to shed tears.

Qi Lv saw a beautiful bronze Chengpan placed in the red lacquer, the Chengpan was empty, only some milky white scum remained, nothing else, the cheese disappeared!

No wonder Zheng Ji was about to cry. After doing this for so long, she flew away in an instant without even seeing a shadow.

Zheng Ji was so anxious that she turned around and said, "Did the cook get dumped?"

Zheng Ji made cheese for the first time. The homemade cheese is actually very similar to tofu. They are all scum, which needs to be pressed to make it look good. There are some milky white scum in Chengpan, which shows that the cheese made by Zheng Ji is not very firm. , dropped a lot of scum.

Maybe it's not good looking, so the cook regards it as filthy and throws it away?

Zheng Ji spent so much time just to make this cheese, but now it suddenly disappeared, how could she not be in a hurry?

Qi Lu shook his head and said: "Zheng Ji, don't worry, it must not be the cook who threw it away."

Zheng Ji asked strangely: "Why is Tai Tuo so sure?"

Qi Lu pointed to the exquisite red lacquer Shihe and said, "Look, Zheng Ji, this Shihe and Chengpan are both equipped in Jixiang's mansion, and there is Jishi's family emblem engraved on it, but?"

Zheng Ji nodded and said, "Really, Ji brought them from home, so they are naturally things from home."

Ji Zhong was the most powerful minister of the Zheng State, and because of him, the Ji family was ascended to heaven, and all the things used by Ji Zhong were engraved with family crests.

Qi Lv then said: "Sihe and Chengpan are both marked, so they are pretending to be filthy. May I ask which cook dares to throw away the things of the family?"

Having said that, Zheng Ji also felt that it made sense, the shihe was covered, where did the cook get the courage to open the shihe of Jishi to check?

Qi Lu lowered his head, pointed to the ground again, and said, "Zheng Ji's cheese must be very soft and not pressed too tightly."

Zheng Ji nodded again and said, "That's right." After all, it was the first time I did it, and I didn't know how to do it.

On the ground that Qi Lu pointed at, there were some milky white scum!

Extending forward, like a road sign, instead of pointing to the outside of the dining room, it extends all the way inward.

Qi Lu suddenly smiled and said, "Dare to ask Zheng Ji, does this dining room have a back door?"

"Back door?" Zheng Ji thought for a while and said, "There is nothing, only this door."

Qi Lu laughed even more, and said: "That's okay, please Zheng Ji stand aside, and Lu can help Zheng Ji catch this little mouse that is stealing food."

Zheng Ji was very surprised. Does that mean that the person who stole the food is still in the dining room?

Qi Lu raised his hand, put his index finger on his lips, made a silent movement, and gave Zheng Ji a look. Zheng Ji quickly covered her mouth and stood aside, wishing she could hold her breath.

Qi Lu followed the cheese residue on the ground and walked in. There were two dining rooms with the inside and the outside together. After Qi Lu walked a few steps in, he saw the room where the cheese extended, behind the pots and jars piled up with pickles. , revealing a small corner of the clothes.

Qi Lu walked over, stood condescendingly beside the corner of the clothes, and said with a smile: "Aren't you coming out, little mouse?"

"Duck!" a childish voice exclaimed.

Qi Luding took a quick look, and there were two cute little buns hiding behind the pots of pickles!

One little bun was a little bigger, it was worn in tatters, and its face was still dirty, the other was a little smaller, but it was well dressed, its face was fair and clear, with a round bun face, There is still baby fat on the cheeks, and she is a little shorter.

The two little buns were holding hands, with cheese residue hanging from their mouths. Seeing that they were discovered, both of them were so scared that their eyes were round.

Qi Lu said, "Huh? So it's not a little mouse, but two little cats who ate it secretly?"

The slightly shorter, round-faced little bun said in surprise: "I, I, I... I've been germinated and discovered, what should I do if I'm swollen?"

The little bun in rough clothes immediately said, "Run!"

The two little buns immediately bypassed the big jar of pickles, and ran out as fast as a little boy, because of his small stature, he was quite nimble.

Qi Lu looked at the two little meat buns, and immediately showed a strange uncle's smile, and said, "Where is the little cat going?"

The two little buns were too small, making Qi Lu seem extremely tall. The round-faced little bun looked like he couldn't escape, his face was full of fear and cowardice, and he stuttered a little, suddenly "Gudong!" He hugged Qi Lu's calf.

Qi Lv was stunned, the little bun suddenly hugged him, he was so cute, did he want to show off his cuteness and make himself dizzy?Unexpectedly, although the little bun with a round face looked timid and scared, he yelled in a childish voice: "I, I, I, I'm holding him back, run, run! Run, duck!"

The little bun in rough clothes looked a little hesitant, and wanted to turn around to save his companion, but he gritted his teeth, made a decisive decision, and immediately ran out of the dining room.

Although the little bun in rough clothes is still small, but he runs very fast for no reason, like a little Lianjiazi.Zheng Ji stood outside, but seeing the little bun rushing out, she didn't dare to stop her, so the little bun ran out of the dining room.

Qi Lv thought he would escape successfully, how could he know...

"Gudong!"

"Ah duck!"

The little bun in rough clothes just ran out, one of them didn't pay attention, and bumped into a "very thick thigh". Isn't that the emperor's thigh who came to "catch rape"?

Just as Ji Lin walked to the door of the dining room, "Boom!" He was bumped by something, and looked down. It was... a small meat bun?

The little bun in rough clothes bumped into Ji Lin's leg and fell to the ground. This time, he had no choice but to run away. The two little buns were both stolen.

The little bun with the round face saw that he had a cowardly, helpless, weak, pitiful little face, and blinked his big eyes. He was clearly terrified, but he stammered, "I... I, I, I, Yes, it was me who ate and ate! You... Ni Meng, don't make things difficult for him."

Qi Lu didn't expect the emperor to come to Zheng Guo's dining room?But it was too late to ask why the emperor came to the dining room, Qi Lv laughed out loud at the cute little bun with a round face, and said, "What did you eat? He didn't?"

The round-faced little bun nodded vigorously, "hmmmm" several times, wishing he could nod his little head off.

Qi Lu said again: "Then what is he talking about?"

When the little bun in rough clothes heard this, he quickly wiped his mouth, but it was too late and he had already been discovered.

The little bun with a round face was not as tall as the little bun in the rough coat, and he was still very timid, but he stopped in front of the little bun in the rough coat, and said, "He... he didn't steal the food on purpose, because... because he was so hungry. , I, I, I, I can give Nimeng money! I have money, give it to Nimeng!"

As the round-faced little bun said, he took out a coin that was much bigger than him, and handed it to Qi Lv on his feet.

Seeing the money, Ji Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you from Qi? This money is Qi Dao."

"No, no, no!" The round-faced little bun shook his head vigorously again, and said, "I, I, I... I am not from Qi, no, no, no!"

Although it is denied, this is tantamount to not having 300 taels of silver here.

The little bun in rough clothes spoke for the first time. He was not as cowardly as the little bun with a round face. With his chin raised, he said very proudly: "It's just a piece of rough snack, I'll just pay you back!"

He didn't stutter, and he spoke very smoothly, looking like a little grown-up.

When Zheng Ji heard this, she was unhappy, and said aggrievedly: "Do you know what kind of rough snack that is? Why are you talking big when you are young? I have been researching this rough snack for more than half a month!"

The little bun in rough clothes crossed his arms and put his arms around his chest, he didn't take it seriously, and said, "Why is this so difficult?"

After speaking, the little bun in rough clothes walked into the dining room on his own, and opened a big jar with his feet. It turned out that there was a jar of white milk in it.

The coarse-coated buns put some of the milk into the red beans, and then put the red beans on the fire to boil the milk.

Seeing his appearance, Qi Lu looked decent, and it seemed that it was not the first time he had done this kind of work, while the round-faced little bun was standing aside, biting his little fleshy hand, a little at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Ji Lin came here to "catch rape", but unexpectedly, he encountered an incident of stealing food. After asking Qi Lu about the reason, he was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that Qi Lu and Zheng Ji sneaked out of the banquet to see cheese?

When they were talking, the little bun in rough clothes had already boiled the milk, poured out some, and handed it to the little bun with a round face. He took a sip of "gudu" and said, "Duck, it's so hot!"

The little steamed stuffed bun in rough clothes said disgustedly: "You are so stupid, the duck will be hot when it is just boiled, drink it slowly!"

"Oh!" Little Baozi with a round face nodded, he was not angry when he was scolded for being stupid, and stuck out his tongue, the cute Qi Lu wanted to pick it up and ran away, snatching it away!

The rough-coated bun boiled the milk, and when the milk was cold, he peeled off the milk skin on the top, then took some rice wine, poured the rice milk into the milk, about one part of wine, three parts of milk.

Seeing it, Zheng Ji was shocked and said, "You...how do you know how to make cheese?"

The cheese hadn't been made yet, but Zheng Ji was stunned when she saw his steps. It took her half a month to find the correct ratio, but this little bun in rough clothes was found in no time.

The little bun in rough clothes said nonchalantly, "Of course it's because I'm smart, and I'm going to assist the king in the future."

The little bun was really boastful, but Qi Lu looked at the little bun in rough clothes differently, and said with a smile: "Then dare to ask this famous gentleman, what is your name?"

When the little bun in rough clothes heard this, his eyes rolled a few times, he jumped up suddenly and ran, grabbing the hand of the round-faced little bun, the two little buns fled out of the dining room quickly, and disappeared without a trace.

Ji Lin wanted to grab the two little guys, but Qi Lu stopped him and said, "Son of Heaven, forget it."

There were two children at first, and looking at the little bun in rough clothes, he must be very hungry, so he made cheese to compensate Zheng Ji, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Zheng Ji stomped her feet and said with some regret: "I forgot to ask him how the cheese Ji made by himself tastes like."

Zheng Ji seemed very regretful, while Qi Lu said with a smile: "The little boy's food is so delicious, it must be very good."

After the welcome banquet, everyone stayed in the palace and waited for Xia Shou to show off his troops. Qi Lu had nothing to do these days, and he always went out of the palace to visit Ji Ya at the priest's house.

Today Qi Lu went to the priest's house again, the emperor was fine, so he came to the priest's house with Qi Lu.Ji Ya is still the same. Although he can get out of bed and move around, his sanity is still like a child, and he is always failing.

Every time Qi Lu went to Ji's family, he would meet his grandson and grandson who came to visit him, so Qi Lu jokingly said, "Why does the grandson of Zheng Guo look like he married into Ji's family?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the emperor suddenly fell silent, and the grandson who was being ridiculed did not defend himself, but smiled instead.

Qi Lu: "..." I always feel that something is weird?

Ji Ya was very happy to see Qi Lu, and immediately hugged Qi Lu's waist, buried his head in his chest, and said kindly: "Mother...Mother..."

Qi Lu emphasized many times that he was not his mother, but Ji Ya couldn't understand and was very persistent. Perhaps it was because Qi Lu always fed Ji Ya with delicious food, so Ji Ya was very close to Qi Lu.

And as soon as Qi Lu came, Ji Ya had to search his body, and he had to find something delicious.

Ji Ya always eats light food these days. After all, he is afraid of wound inflammation, so he has been eating some soup and water. To put it bluntly, the five elements are short of meat. He especially wants to eat meat. Ji Ya then sneaked out of the house and even ran to the dining room, holding a piece of raw meat to eat.

Gongsunzi was really at a loss, so he cupped his hands and said to Qi Lu, "I have an unfeeling request..."

Qi Lu understood immediately, and said: "Lü knows, Gongsun must want Lu to make a delicious meat dish for the little gentleman to satisfy his cravings?"

Even though Gongsunzi didn't want to say this, Ji's family and his family's cook had tried it. Ji Ya's mouth was very tricky, and if it didn't taste good, he would rather not eat it.

Now Ji Ya is injured, and his sanity is like a child again, he seems to be "following orders and willful", both Gongsunzi and Ji Zhong can't do anything about it.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "It's not easy? Lu is free today, so I'm going back to make a meat dish, and bring it over for dinner for my younger brother to taste."

Qi Lu left as soon as he said, and immediately prepared to leave the priest's house and go back to Zheng Palace to prepare meals. Ji Lin followed Qi Lu like a follower.

Qi Lu was a little helpless, and said, "Isn't the Son of Heaven busy today?"

Ji Lin said: "The matter of Xia Shou has been handed over to Duke Guo. Uncle Zheng has rarely been at peace these few days. Naturally, the widow is not busy, so I will spend more time with the Grand Tutor."

Qi Lu: "..." I am not the emperor's girlfriend, why should I spend more time with myself?

Qi Lu was going to the dining room, and Ji Lin followed behind. The two of them entered the dining room one after the other. There was no one in the dining room. In order to please Qi Lu, Mr. Zheng Bowei remodeled the partial dining room here. There was no dining room. Husband, specially provided for Qi Lu to stay in Zheng Guo these days.

Ji Lin walked in swaggeringly, looked at Qi Lu with folded arms, and said, "What kind of meat does the Tai Tuo want to eat?"

Qi Lu thought to himself, is the emperor actually greedy?

Qi Lv thought for a while, but he couldn't make something too greasy. After all, Ji Ya eats too light these days, which may make his intestines slippery, but it must be able to satisfy the gluttony, and it is good for the wound...

Qi Lu's eyes lit up, and he began to look for ingredients, and soon found the ingredient he wanted - pig's trotters!

Pig's trotters are a good food, rich in protein and many trace elements. Many people who don't eat fat meat have a soft spot for pig's trotters.

But to be honest, it is deceptive to eat pig's trotters without gaining weight, because in addition to rich collagen, pig's trotters are also rich in fat and cholesterol, but compared with pork, the fat content of pig's trotters is relatively high. Less, in other words, just can't eat too much.

Qi Lu brought the pig's trotters over. The pig's trotters in the dining room were whole. In the past, when Qi Lu bought them in the supermarket, he would let the master chop them up for him, but today it was different, and he could only chop them by himself.

Qi Lu took the knife and said, "Bang bang bang!" He chopped the pig's trotters hard, but the effect didn't seem to be very good. He wished he could jump up and chop the pig's trotters.

When Ji Lin saw it, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Teacher, do you need help from me?"

Let the emperor chop pig's trotters for you?

Thinking about this scene, Qi Lu thought it was too beautiful to behold, but as the son of heaven, Ji Lin didn't think it was wrong at all. He took the knife from Qi Lu and rolled up his sleeves, "Duo! Duo duo!" With a sound, the movement was quick and unrestrained, and the pig's trotter was chopped into small pieces in an instant.

Qi Lu quickly said, "Thank you, Son of Heaven."

Ji Lin smiled and said, "You don't have to thank the Tai Tuo, as long as the Tai Tuo is not so biased and only prepares meals for the little gentlemen, and can leave a portion for the widow."

Look, how pitiful the emperor said, Qi Lu felt a sense of guilt, dare to love the emperor and still hold grudges, isn't it because he was not allowed to drink pigeon soup last time?

Qi Lv put the chopped pig's trotters into the pot to cook. Ji Lin looked at it and lost interest, and said, "I don't like this, the clear soup is not easy to taste."

Sometimes the dining room also makes pig’s trotters, but they are all made of white soup. Jilin’s taste is relatively strong. He likes spicy and salty food, but he doesn’t like white soup. , there are many bones, and it is not easy to taste, and the taste will be soft and rotten. Ji Lin also doesn't like to eat the kind of pig's trotters that are so soft and sticky in the mouth, so over time, he has a prejudice against pig's trotters.

Qi Lu smiled and said, "Son of Heaven, please rest assured, what Lulu is cooking today is not hoof flowers in clear soup, but roasted pig's trotters."

Qi Lu feels that there are many ways to eat this pig's trotter, but the one that satisfies the most craving is none other than roasted pig's trotter!

Stewed boneless pig's trotters, then roasted, brushed with a special secret sauce on the outside, the skin is elastic and tough, slightly burnt, but the inside is not greasy, and the roasted pig's trotters are more flavorful and will not appear The soft and sticky feeling that Ji Lin disliked, instead locked the glue of the trotters firmly in the center, which couldn't be better.

Roasted pig's trotters are quite satisfying, and it takes a long time to chew on the pig's trotters. To be honest, I didn't eat much, but it was time-consuming, and I wouldn't let Jiya eat too much.

Ji Lin had never eaten roasted pig's feet, especially the roasted pig's feet with Qi Lu's secret sauce, and now he became interested, and kept guarding by the side, waiting for the pig's feet to come out of the pot.

In order to make the pig's trotters tasty, first stew them, wait until the pig's trotters are fully cooked, and then grill them on the fire. The color of the braised pig's trotters is light amber, brush with the sauce mixed with honey, and grill for a while , Immediately exudes a unique smell of pig's trotters, full of gelatin, just looking at it makes you happy!

Qi Lu roasted the first pot of pig's trotters, and seeing that there was not enough firewood, he prepared to bring some firewood back. Ji Lin, a follower, must go to "collect firewood" with him, without any burden from the emperor.

When Qi Lu and Ji Lin came back with firewood, Ji Lin suddenly said "Huh?" and said, "Teacher, when we left, did we roast the pig's trotters on the fire?"

Qi Luxin said yes, it's almost cooked right now?In fact, the pig's trotters are already cooked, and it tastes better if you bake them a little. Ji Lin likes them with a burnt aroma, so Qi Lu planned to roast them for a while, who knows...

When I came back with the firewood, I saw that the pig's trotter... was gone!

There was no one in the side dining room, but the pig’s trotters disappeared. There was still some stewed in the pot, but the roasted ones were gone. Ji Lin seemed to remember something, and said, “I won’t be robbed again.” ?”

A few days ago, Zheng Ji met two little cats and ate her cheese, and now she is also in the pantry, and Qi Lu lost the roasted pig's trotters.

Qi Lv narrowed his eyes, turned his eyes, didn't say much, chuckled, and made a second pot of marinated pig's trotters, brushed it with sauce, and then roasted it on the fire. A little bit different, Qi Lu improved the sauce a little bit, and brushed it with a lot of "chili chips", that is, scallion sauce.

Because those roasted pig's trotters were made for Ji Ya before, and the wounds of Ji Ya have not fully healed, and spicy food is not suitable for fear of irritating the wound, so Qi Lv did not put the scorpion sauce, and waited for the second pot to be roasted for the emperor When it's time, add the son of heaven's favorite scallion sauce.

Qi Lu gave a smirk, put a lot of scallion sauce on it, brushed it all over the pig's trotters, and then lined up the pig's trotters to roast.

After Qi Lu did his little tricks, he said to Ji Lin: "My Son, let's get some more firewood."

Ji Lin seemed to understand Qi Lu's meaning, and also smiled, with a trace of pampering on his face, he seemed to like Qi Lu's bad manners, nodded and said, "Okay, it's all up to the master."

Seeing Ji Lin's petting smile, and hearing the emperor's petting voice, Qi Lu couldn't help but feel a little tingly in his heart. very gentle...

The two arranged a "trap" and then exited the dining room, but instead of moving firewood, they hid aside.

After a while, the aroma of roasted pig's feet wafted out, faintly wafting, it was a meaty aroma, and the index finger moved!

"Da da da--"

"Da da da!"

There was the sound of small footsteps, and two small shadows came out from the corner, looking into the dining room with their heads, and they were indeed the two little tabby cats who ate earlier!

There is still a little bun with a round face, well-dressed, and looks like the son of a rich family, while the other is a little taller, with a rough coat, and his face is still dirty.One can tell at a glance that the two little buns are of different classes, and I don't know how they know each other.

The two little buns held hands, and the round-faced little bun bit his finger and stammered, "I'm cute...I'm cute or not—don't go any more, you, you are full, or, still count." That's all."

The little bun in rough clothes said: "But you want to eat? Besides, they have so much food, if they can't finish it, they will throw it away. Why don't you give it to us!"

The little bun in rough clothes said, and dragged the round-faced little bun into the dining room, and immediately reached out to grab the pig's trotters that were still roasting. It was delicious, so I couldn't wait any longer. The little steamed stuffed bun in rough clothes immediately "oooh!" and bit on the roasted pig's trotter which was full of scallion sauce.

"duck……"

The little bun with a round face hadn't bitten it down yet, so he was startled, opened his eyes wide and said, "Are you swollen?"

"It's so spicy, so spicy! So spicy! Spicy duck..." The little bun in rough clothes fanned his mouth, and suddenly said, "Oops, we've been tricked, run away!"

Although the little bun in rough clothes is very smart, it's a pity that it's too late, Qi Lu and Ji Lin
