spring and autumn officials
Chapter 97 Appetizers
"Master Meng Yang! Master Meng Yang!"
"It's not good! The big thing is not good!"
Gongsun Wuzhi's eunuch ran all the way and rushed into the courtyard of the Qi State Mission, panicking.
The eunuch Meng Yang had just returned to the courtyard and entered the house where Gongsun of Qi State was staying, but he didn't see Gongsun Wuzhi and was looking for him when he heard the eunuch shouting.
Meng Yang's indifferent face was slightly stern, and he said in a cold voice: "This is a posthouse, what's the proper way to shout and shout? If someone else bumps into them, they will think that we Qi people don't know the rules."
The eunuch hurriedly confessed his guilt, but still flustered, he said, "Lord Meng Yang, it's really a big deal! Gongsun, Gongsun..."
Meng Yang said, "How about Gongsun?"
The eunuch said: "Gongsun...go...go...go..." He faltered and couldn't explain why for a while, so he gritted his teeth and said bravely, "Gongsun went to peep at the emperor taking a bath. Already!"
When Meng Yang heard this, his face darkened immediately. Although he was only an eunuch, he was full of majesty, and said, "Gongsun loves to play, don't you know the severity? Just let Gongsun do these foolish things?"
The eunuch knelt down and complained endlessly, and said: "Lord Meng Yang, there is nothing a villain can do. Gongsun has never listened to anyone, but Gongsun can listen to what Master Meng Yang says. Please also ask Master Meng Yang to personally listen to you." Go find Gongsun back, don't... don't make any trouble!"
Meng Yang didn't speak any more, turned around immediately, strode away from the courtyard of the Qi State Mission, and hurried to the courtyard where the Luoshi royal family stayed...
Didn't you see that Gongsun is busy? !
Gongsun Wuzhi wanted to yell out in such a vicious voice, but when he turned around, he met the emperor's gloomy eyes, and was so frightened that his back shivered, his whole body trembled, and with a "gudong", he fell to the ground with his buttocks. It has to be all over the place.
Ji Lin was already tall, but now he was condescending, looking down at Gongsun Wuzhi who fell to the ground, with a cold smile on his lips, and repeated: "Gongsun of Qi, it's so late at night, what are you doing here? You read it right, this is the courtyard where the royal mission stayed, not the courtyard where the people of Qi stayed."
"This..." Gongsun Wuzhi's eyes rolled wildly. What he was doing here, of course he wanted to peek at Qi Taifu taking a bath, but Gongsun Wuzhi absolutely couldn't say that. He had a faint premonition that if he said that Export, may die a terrible death...
Gongsun Wuzhi quibbled hard and said: "Going back...to the Son of Heaven, Wuzhi is... because he is not familiar with the situation of Fanguo Post, and lost his way..."
"Oh? Lost?" The smile on the corner of the emperor's lips slowly widened, and he said coolly, "Lost? Why did Qi Gongsun lie under the Taifu's room? Sneaking around?"
Gongsun Wuzhi was sweating coldly, and said: "The Son of Heaven... the Son of Heaven has learned a lesson, Wuzhi just... fell down just now, just supporting the household, nothing, no other meaning."
Gongsun's ignorance turned into stuttering for a while, and he himself felt that this sophistry excuse was very ugly and had no credibility at all.
At this moment, suddenly heard the sound of "Tat T T T T" footsteps, it was Meng Yang!
Although Meng Yang was an eunuch, he was extremely tall. Gongsun Wuzhi saw Meng Yang at a glance, as if seeing a relative.Meng Yang strode over, but instead of helping Gongsun Wuzhi who had fallen to the ground, he knelt down and bowed to the emperor, saying: "Meng Yang, my little minister, I pay my respects to the emperor."
Then he said: "Son of Heaven, please forgive me, Gongsun was rude, there will never be a next time."
Gongsun Wuzhi argued for a long time, Meng Yang exposed Gongsun Wuzhi's old background as soon as he came up, Gongsun Wuzhi still wanted to argue, but Meng Yang stopped him from speaking.
Ji Lin thought it was ugly, snorted coldly, and said: "The grandson of Qi State was robbed by horse thieves, since he was injured, he should recuperate well in the posthouse. The widow also thinks about the grandson. So, from today until we leave the posthouse, Qi Gongsun will take good care of his wounds in the house and don't step out of the house, do you understand?"
When Gongsun Wuzhi heard this, did he want to put him under house arrest?In the country of Qi, he wanted the wind to get the wind, and the rain to get the rain, and even the crown prince and his sons couldn't stand side by side with him. When he arrived in the Fan country today, he was going to be imprisoned in the house, just to take a look at Taifu Qi to take a bath for himself. ?And didn't see anything at all.
Gongsun Wuzhi's arrogant temper exploded in an instant, and before he could speak, he was pulled back by Meng Yang, who knelt on the ground and said, "The emperor forgives you, Gongsun already knows his mistake, thank you, the emperor."
After finishing speaking, he pulled Gongsun Wuzhi up. Gongsun Wuzhi wanted to quibble, but Meng Yang immediately pulled him away...
Ji Lin looked coldly at the direction where Gongsun Wuzhi and the eunuch Meng Yang left, squinted his eyes, and then found Zhu Dan, and arranged a few tiger soldiers around Gongsun Wuzhi, in the name of not letting people disturb Gongsun Wuzhi's recovery. In fact, it is grounding Gongsun ignorance.
There was a "bloody storm" and "turbulent waves" outside for a while, but inside the house, Qi Lu didn't notice it at all. After taking a leisurely bath, he just put on his underwear, and before he had time to wipe his hair clean, he heard a squeak. The door was pushed open, and the emperor walked in from the outside.
The emperor was dressed in a black robe, solemn and handsome, with a look of sternness on his face. For some reason, Qi Lv vaguely felt that someone had offended the emperor, and the emperor has a big temper now?
Before Qi Lu understood what was going on, the handsome and majestic emperor had already strode forward, picked up Qi Lu, and hugged him horizontally, Qi Lu was startled, and when he opened his mouth, he suddenly exclaimed, "Ah... " There was a sound, followed by the sound of "plopping" water.
The Son of Heaven hugged Qi Lu horizontally, and brought Qi Lu who had just put on his coat back into the barrel.Qi Lu immediately turned into a drowned rat, thumped twice, stared and said, "What's going on?"
The emperor squinted his eyes, and the corners of his lips slanted into a smile. Not only Qi Lu, but also the emperor entered the wooden barrel together. The emperor's black robe was instantly wet, and the blackness became deeper. There was no embarrassment, but with the deepening of the black robe, Tianzi's sexy hormones spewed out like a flood, and Qi Lu was stunned.
Ji Lin said hoarsely: "What's the situation? It seems that the Tai Tuo has not figured out what's going on so far, and he is as unprepared as ever."
Qi Lu didn't understand at all, and he was still confused. The emperor had already "Boom!" and put Qi Lu's wall on the edge of the barrel, and whispered in Qi Lu's ear, "Teacher, I'm getting a taste of it."
"Ah?" Qi Lu's head was a mess.
I heard the emperor continue to say: "Therefore... the widow wants to eat Taifu."
Qi Lu didn't know why, the emperor suddenly turned into a big wild wolf from a puppy, maybe it was because of menopause?Qi Lu fell asleep in a daze, exhausted, and when he fell asleep, he was still thinking, no, no, it's not menopause, I'm afraid it's puberty, the emperor's youthful rebellious period may not have passed yet...
Because the Son of Heaven was going to turn into a little dog in the middle of the night, Qi Lu slept very soundly in the second half of the night. At dawn the next day, Qi Lu was still sleeping in a daze, and felt someone poking his cheek, and poking him on the left side. , poked it on the right side, and then stroked along the bridge of my nose, as if I was having fun.
Because Qi Lu was too sleepy, he didn't have the energy to open his eyes at all, so he let the other party poke his face, who knew that after poking for a while, the other party was already "unwilling to be lonely", pushed Qi Lu, and a deep voice rang in his ears , Said: "Teacher, Tutor..."
It was the voice of the Son of Heaven, poking himself and calling himself.Qi Lu didn't want to open his eyes at all, "Huh?" He raised his eyelids and took a look. It was too early, and he was very tired last night, so he simply ignored the emperor, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was tireless, shook Qi Lu again, and said in a very gentle and coquettish voice in his ear: "Teacher Taifu, wake up quickly, look at the widow, the widow and the grandson are ignorant, who is beautiful? "
Qi Lu exploded the three-character scripture in his heart exhaustedly, what's the situation, why does the emperor want to compare his beauty with Gongsun Wuzhi?
In order to sleep, Qi Lu fiddled with Ji Lin like chasing flies, and said in a chaotic voice, "You, you, you...you are beautiful...you are beautiful."
Qi Lu said so, thinking that he could continue to sleep, but the emperor also felt that Qi Lu's Taifu was very perfunctory, still shaking Qi Lu, and said: "Teacher, wake up, and look at the widow."
Qi Lv was really unbearable, opened his tired eyes, because of yesterday's bath, his temple hair was all wet, and the emperor also loosened his temple hair and didn't comb it. His long black hair was splashed with black ink, like satin.Ji Lin's hair is naturally black, black and smooth, and smooth, the kind that can be advertised for shampoo, unlike Qi Lu, whose temple hair is a little brown, especially at the ends. Lightly turned maroon.
The emperor hadn't gotten up early yet, and he was lying on his side on the couch, resting on one of his arms as a pillow, propped his face on the side, his long black hair slid down the emperor's cheeks, and the most terrible thing was that his underwear was slightly loose, full of a A lazy breath.
One word - beautiful!
Ji Lin saw Taifu reluctantly opened his eyes, but the next moment, Taifu Qi's eyes became "weird", staring straight at him, the handsome emperor smiled generously, and smiled with incomparable tenderness. The voice said: "Teacher, is this widow handsome or not?"
Qi Lu's heart beat violently twice, as if he was beating a war drum. For a while, the war drum thundered, making Qi Taifu's blood boil. He rolled up his sleeves, rushed towards him involuntarily, and said viciously: "It's early in the morning, you little goblin!" Let's make a monster, and see how the master will teach you a lesson!"
Yan Yangjian planned to come in to wait on him, to see if the Taifu was awake, but when he reached the door, he heard the Taifu's shameless words, his face froze at that moment, and he knew that the emperor was inside, so he immediately backed out. Gently closed the door, and sent away all the eunuchs and maids in the courtyard in a sensible manner, lest the Taifu would be too shameless and yell so loud that the whole courtyard could be heard.
It was almost noon when the emperor left, because he still had to be busy with official duties, Qi Lv was paralyzed on the couch with a look of death on his face, he was too lazy to get up, wishing he could stay on the couch all day.
Qi Lu was getting lazy, struggling with the bed, it was almost noon, and he would have lunch soon, Qi Lu thought to himself, forget it, let's get up.
Qi Lv got up and had to wash and change his clothes with difficulty, when he heard the knock on the door, and the voice from the sheep's shoulders said: "Teacher, have you got up yet?"
It turned out that there was a guest seeking to see Taifu Qi, and this guest was very strange, not a senior official from any country, nor an envoy from Qi State or Zheng State, but...
Yan Yangjian said: "It's the cook in the posthouse. He asked to see the Taifu. He said that he wanted to ask Qi Taifu about something important."
Qi Lu had already woken up, if someone else heard that the cook was asking to see him, he would definitely look down on him, but Qi Lu didn't think lightly of the cook, so he said, "Please come in."
Shanfu quickly walked in respectfully, and quickly kowtowed to Qi Lu.This person is the cook in the Posthouse of Fanguo Pavilion. He kowtowed and said, "My minister pays homage to Taifu Qi, Taifu Qi, help me!"
Qi Lu was a little puzzled, and said, "What's the matter? Why do you call for help when you meet? Who wants your life?"
The cook knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said eagerly: "Teacher Qi doesn't know something, you must be the only one who can deal with this matter, Taifu Qi, please save this little minister!"
Shan Fu said that only Qi Lu could do it, and no one else could do it, not because of Qi Lu's high position and power, ranking first among the three masters of Luo Shi, but because of Qi Lu's superb cooking skills.
The cook cried and said: "It's about the daughters of the state of Qi. Since the daughters of the country came to our post, they haven't eaten a meal properly. No matter how carefully the ministers prepare the meals, they are all beaten back by the maids around the daughters of the country. It’s not about the oil, it’s about the smell. I don’t have any appetite at all. Our country is a small country, and the cooks have never seen the big world. They have already used all their tricks to cook meals for the girls of the Qi country, but...but it’s completely It didn't work!"
That was the case, Qi Lu finally understood.The daughters of the Qi State are hard to serve, and I don’t know if it’s because they are not acclimatized to the environment, or because they are frightened, they can’t eat the meals of the Fan Kingdom. They are too young to offend the Qi State at all. If something happens to the daughter of the country in their territory, not only the Qi State, but Zheng State, the country of in-laws, will also blame the Fan State.
The cooks in Fanguo lost their prejudices, and they heard that although Qi Lu is the emperor's tutor, he is good at cooking, and he is friendly, and he will not look down on cooks, so the cooks really have no choice. It was only then that I bit the bullet and came to ask Qi Lv for advice.
Qi Lv has nothing to do at the moment. If you can help with things that are easy to do, if you can help, it doesn't get in the way, so he said: "Get up first, what have you done for the girls these days, let me tell you." Listen."
When Shanfu heard this, he happily stood up and answered Qi Lv's words.
The chefs cook some special dishes for the girls of the country of Qi, such as big fish and meat, and everything. They are afraid that the girls of the country are not used to the dishes of the country, and they use the seafood brought by the mission of the country of Qi, that is, For seafood, I made some dishes.
Qi Lu's seafood porridge has been "famous all over the world". I heard that the emperor was full of praise for eating it. These days, the "idol benefit" of the emperor is unique. The princes and scholar-bureaucrats all regard the emperor's favorite as fashion, so the seafood porridge soon became popular. It became popular, and the cooks learned it specially, and gave the delicious seafood porridge to the women of Qi State to drink.
The cook said with a bitter face: "But...but this daughter of Qi State drank the seafood porridge, and heard the maid said that she only took one bite, and said...the seafood porridge was fishy and smelly, so she vomited it all up!"
The chef of Fanguo also said: "My Fanguo is located in the hinterland, and the ministers are really not good at cooking seafood. In the past, there were not necessarily one or two pieces throughout the year. I don't know how to deal with it. Use the seasoning to remove the fishy smell. I have used all of them, but the girls of the Qi State can’t eat the fishy smell at all, and the ministers really have nothing to do.”
Women from the State of Qi disliked meat too oily, fish too fishy, sea food too gritty, and even green vegetables, saying that leeks were too spicy, and bean sprouts were sour. of.
Qi Lu frowned and said, "I'm afraid this daughter of the Qi State is not acclimatized, but the food is second. Have you asked the medical officer to see it?"
Shan Fu said with a bitter face: "Hey, the girls of Qi State are delicate and delicate, and the medical officers of our Fan State are not allowed to enter the door. I heard that the medical officers of Qi State went to see and adjusted the soup, but they still look like that. We All I can do is cook a few appetizing meals, and ask Taifu Qi to save my life!"
Qi Lu nodded and said, "Actually, it's not difficult."
Not difficult?
Isn't that difficult?
However, when the cook of Fanguo heard Qi Lu's words, his heart immediately fell flat, and a big rock fell to the ground. He wished that Qi Lu hadn't said what meals to cook for the girls of Qi State. And it is convinced.
Qi Lv has such a magical power, as long as he speaks, others will feel convinced.
Qi Lu said with a smile: "The girls of the Qi State have no appetite, probably because they are not acclimatized to the environment. They only need some appetizing vegetables and food, and you said that the girls of the country dislike greasy, meaty, fishy smell..."
"Yes, that's right," Fan Guo's chef mentioned this, his head grew big, and said: "The women of the country don't eat greasy food, meat is too oily, and they don't eat Hai Cuo, saying that we in Fan Guo can't get rid of Hai Cuo..."
Not to mention greasy and meaty food, no matter it is fried, fried, steamed or stewed, Chinese girls can't eat it, and they vomit when they eat it.
Qi Lu said: "It's a coincidence that you came here. A few days ago, Lu developed some snacks, and today is just the time to open the altar."
When Qi Lu heard that the girls had no appetite, many sweet and sour food appeared in his mind, such as sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried pork tenderloin, sweet and sour short ribs, glutinous rice lotus root, hawthorn cake, etc. Eat appetizingly.
Coincidentally, Qi Lu developed some snacks a few days ago. This winter, he just pickled pickled vegetables and pickled some hot and sour radish sticks. Not oily or fishy, with a bit of sweetness, it is appetizing and refreshing, and because it is a pickled vegetable, it is quite a meal.
Qi Lu said: "You don't have to worry, Lu asked someone to bring you some side dishes as cold appetizers. Before the Chinese girls eat, let the Chinese girls eat some cold appetizers to ensure an appetizer, and then serve hot food."
Carrot sticks?
The cook was dumbfounded when he heard this. The cooks used all the delicacies from mountains and seas for such crude ingredients. They never thought that such crude ingredients could appetize the women of the country. However, Taifu Qi was so sure that the cook felt that Qi Lv was The life-saving straws naturally came down in a dozen piles.
Qi Lu asked Gongsun Hua to hand over the pickled hot and sour radish strips to Fan Guo's cook, and Fan Guo's cook left with a thousand thanks.
Soon it was time for lunch, and the cook of Fan Guo put the hot and sour radish strips pickled by Qi Lu in the exquisite Chengpan, and sent them to the house of the daughter of Qi State first.
The palace maid was waiting to pass on the meal, and when she saw that the cook of Fanguo brought a piece of radish, she was shocked and said: "Are you people of all kingdoms so impolite? How dare you use these radish sticks for the body of a daughter of a kingdom? Junk goods to fool the girls of the country? What is the reason for this?"
The cooks failed to offer hot and sour radish strips, and the maids directly blocked the door, and no cold dishes entered the room at all. The cooks were very anxious, and they were afraid of being accused, so they hurried to Qi Lv for help.
Qi Lv had just finished his lunch and was a little sleepy after eating and drinking. He was thinking about going back to sleep when the cook from Fanguo came again. Minister once!"
Qi Lunahan said, "Why, Lu's pickled vegetables don't work?"
The cook said: "That's not the case, it's just...it's just that the maid of the country's daughter despises the humbleness of the cold dishes, so...so no one is allowed to bring the cold dishes in."
When Qi Lu heard it, there is such an ignorant person?This radish was indeed very common in the Spring and Autumn Period, but who said that home-cooked radishes are not good to eat?The hot and sour radish strips pickled by Qi Lu are definitely delicious, not to mention as an appetizer, even if you eat it for nothing, you can eat a lot of it.
Qi Lu immediately said: "It's okay, Lu will go and have a look."
Qi Lu personally went to the courtyard of the Qi State Mission, and followed the cook to the door of the country girl's house. The maid was still scolding the cook, but when she saw someone walking in from a distance, she was startled, and quickly knelt down and said: "My servant has seen Taifu Qi!"
Qi Lu waved his hand and said, "Get up."
The maid quickly stood up and said, "I don't know what's the matter with Grand Tutor Qi. Maid help the Grand Tutor to pass it on?"
Qi Lu said: "Lu is fine, I just heard that the women of the country are not in good health and don't want to eat, so I pickled this cold appetizer."
The palace maid turned pale with shock, and said: "This...was made by Taifu Qi? Forgive me, please forgive me! I don't know if this handmaiden is Taifu Qi's handiwork, so please forgive me!"
The palace maid just took one bite at a time, but now it is said that Taifu Qi pickled it. The simple radish wished it could be turned into a golden radish in an instant.
Qi Lv was very kind, and said: "National daughters don't think about food, and as a special envoy to welcome relatives, Lu is also very worried. Please bring food in."
"It's...just..." The palace lady still hesitated and said, "You don't know something, Tai Tuo, in fact... In fact, Chinese girls absolutely hate the spicy taste of turnips, so..."
In the Spring and Autumn Period, both radishes and turnips were called radishes, and it was not until later generations that radishes and turnips were distinguished and had their own names. Therefore, the turnips mentioned by the court ladies are actually strips of radish pickled by Qi Lu .
Qi Lu smiled, and said proudly: "National daughters don't like the taste of turnips, even if it's a cold dish that hasn't been marinated by Lu, you can just send it in. If there is anything, Lu will take responsibility for it." Yes."
With Qi Lu's words, the court lady became more courageous, so she walked in with Chengpan.
The daughter of the State of Qi has been waiting for her meal for a long time. Although she has no appetite, she still knows that she is hungry. She is hungry, her body is weak, her mind is dizzy, and because she is not feeling well, she is not in a good mood. With a plate of cold food, the daughter of Qi State is about to attack in an instant.
The daughter of the State of Qi is about to become a married person, so it is inconvenient for Qi Lu to enter the house, so he waits outside the door. Standing outside, he can still hear the voice of the daughter of the State of Qi, and reprimands the maid: "Be careful with your hands and feet!" Not diligent, waited for half a day, just bring some vulgar cold food over, is there no food in Fanguo?"
The cooks listened tremblingly, and after waiting for a while, the voice inside stopped, followed by the sound of footsteps, and the palace lady hurried out, saying with surprise: "It's done! It's done!" Already! Taifu Qi’s cold dishes are really amazing, hurry up, the Chinese women’s meal is here!”
The cooks were shocked, with surprise expressions on their faces, and hurriedly passed on the meal in a mess, while Qi Lv stood aside with a smile, there was no surprise at all, as if everything was within reason.
After eating Qi Lu's hot and sour radish sticks, the daughter of the country wanted to pass on the meal. The cooks made a lot of appetizing meals and brought them in one by one, followed by white rice.
Chinese women don't like hot and sour radish strips, after all, they are not good-looking, and Chinese women have always hated radish that is slightly sweet and not sweet enough. There is also some inexplicable irritating taste in the spicy. After eating, there is still an aftertaste in the mouth , the most terrible thing is that if the radish is too spicy, it will cause heartburn, and there will be no peace for a day.
The girl of the country doesn't want to take a bite of this hot and sour radish sticks at all, but... smelling the hot and sour aroma, I feel a little appetizing for some reason, but just smelling it, I feel fresh and refreshing, more refreshing than any big fish or meat, The girl of the country was eager to move, so she picked up the chopsticks, added a small strip of hot and sour radish, and took a light bite with her mouth pursed.
this bite...
The pickled sour taste rushed into the mouth immediately, it was different from the sour taste of bitter wine, it stimulated the taste buds, the sour was slightly spicy, the radish was sweet, there was no irritating taste at all, it was refreshing, I only took a small bite, The mouth was full of body fluid, and the girls who are used to delicacies from mountains and seas have never moved their index fingers like this before, but now after taking a bite of radish sticks, they actually have a real feeling of moving their index fingers, really amazing!
The palace maids filed in and set out the meals one by one. The lady of the country couldn't wait to hold the bronze bean, hurriedly took a mouthful of rice, sandwiched hot and sour radish strips, and put a whole piece into her mouth. Take a bite of rice.
That's it, a mouthful of rice, a mouthful of radish sticks, another bite of rice, a mouthful of radish sticks, eating with relish, all the delicacies of mountains and seas nearby were left out in the cold.
The daughter of the country has not had a serious meal for several days. She is not hungry, but she can't eat, and she feels sick after eating. Today, she has a big appetite. After eating a large bowl of rice, she still has something to say, "Hurry up, give me more." I'll bring some food."
In this way, the daughter of the state of Qi, who didn't think about eating, ate two full bowls of rice, because she was too full, and finally couldn't eat anymore, so she gave up.
The cooks' crisis was resolved, and I was very grateful to Qi Lu, but Qi Lu didn't do anything earth-shattering at all, he just pickled some hot and sour radish strips.
Ji Lin was busy with official duties, but he also heard about Qi Lu's hot and sour radish sticks, which actually cured the unaccustomed daughter of Qi State. When he and Qi Lu had dinner together in the evening, they ordered the hot and sour radish sticks to be served with rice .
Qi Lu was a little dumbfounded, and said: "Son, there are so many good ingredients, why do you have to eat rice with turnips? If someone doesn't know, they think that Lü abused the emperor."
Ji Lin was eloquent, saying: "The kimchi that Taifu opened the altar was not given to the widow to enjoy for the first time. The widow tastes delicious. Tonight, I must eat hot and sour radish sticks and rice."
Qi Lu couldn't say no to Ji Lin. If Ji Lin wanted to eat swan meat, Qi Lu couldn't catch it, but he wanted to eat radishes, so it was not easy to catch, so he took some for Ji Lin.
Ji Lin also tasted the hot and sour radish sticks and rice, put them on the rice, the white rice, pickled clear radish sticks, although it looks a bit bland, but it is inexplicable to eat after one bite, after all, it is pickled vegetables Vegetables, the taste is heavy, which is good for preservation, and it is not easy to deteriorate. Naturally, the taste is much heavier than that of other dishes, which is very suitable for rice.
Ji Lin's eyes lit up, he stuffed a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, chewed with his cheeks puffed out, his usually sharp and deep tiger eyes turned into crooked peach blossom eyes when he smiled, and said vaguely: "Hello, Mrs. Eat, Tai Fu is delicious..."
Qi Lu: "..."
If the Son of Heaven had ears on his head at this time, he would definitely be shaking. Qi Lu endured it for a long time, and endured it again and again, but he still couldn't hold it back. He raised his hand and poked the Son of Heaven's swollen cheek.
The mission of Qi State is only staying in Fan Country and will leave soon. The monarch of Fan Kingdom specially prepared a banquet to see the emperor and the missions off. After drinking the Yan drink, they will leave Fan Country early tomorrow morning and go to Zheng State to see off their relatives .
When Qi Lu came to the banquet, he happened to meet Ji Ya, who was full of energy on weekdays, but today he looked preoccupied. With a sound of "Boom!", he directly bumped into Qi Lu, and both of them almost fell to the ground.
After sacrificing the tooth, he became aware and said, "Ah, it's brother!"
Qi Lu said strangely: "Brother, why are you so restless?"
Why are you so restless?In fact, the reason is very simple, from tomorrow onwards, the team will set off for Zheng State, and once they arrive in Zheng State, the grandsons will marry the daughters of Qi State.
Ji Ya sighed deeply, with a melancholy look on his face, Qi Lu said with a smile: "Brother, this look of sad spring and autumn is not suitable for you."
Ji Ya said: "Brother, don't make fun of me."
Qi Lv said: "Since my younger brother doesn't like it, why should I accept the position of welcoming the relatives?"
Ji Ya is a member of the Zheng Guo Mission, and he is fully in charge of the wedding ceremony. Qi Lu can tell that although Ji Ya and Gongsunzi are both arguing, Ji Ya should really care about Gongsun Zidu. Isn't it absurd that Ji Ya has now become a big pedestrian to welcome relatives?
Ji Ya sighed again, and said, "Brother, you don't know something..."
Since Gongsunzi lost his memory, he no longer remembers his "personal relationship" with Ji Ya.Coincidentally, Ji Ya's uncle Ji Zhong and Zheng Bowei did not agree with them being together.Ji Ya and Gongsun Zidu, one is from the Qing clan, and the other is from the Gong clan, if their stories get out, wouldn't the country of Zheng be in chaos?There is another reason, Ji Zhong also strongly opposes his nephew and grandson being together.
That is to say, Jizhong is a man of deep scheming. He doesn't believe that both his sons and grandsons are of high status. In the future, he will need to use in-laws to consolidate his status as a patriarch. Jizhong doesn't believe that he can continue to treat his nephew well.
As soon as Gong and grandson lost their memory, Ji Zhong and Zheng Boyu had a good understanding, and they immediately teamed up to beat the mandarin ducks. Ji Zhong also found Ji Ya, and persuaded him earnestly, no matter it was for his own good or for the future of Gong and grandson, don't do it. Have nothing to do with Gongsunzi.
Ji Ya sighed for the third time, and said, "I was planning to end it..."
Qi Lu knew that although Ji Ya looked like a dude and unreliable, he was actually very soft-hearted. Ji Zhong dominated the officialdom. Grandson Du's future and future persuaded Ji Ya, and when Ji Ya heard it, he became confused and didn't want to delay Gongsun Zidu.
So Ji Ya became cruel, and simply became the big pedestrian to welcome the relatives this time, intending to personally greet the daughter of Qi State.
Ji Ya said: "This matter... seems not as easy as Ya thought."
It's enough to make a decision, but the road after making the decision seems to be very difficult. At this point, I don't know what I feel in my heart. I regret it, but it doesn't seem like regret, but I feel inexplicably wronged. ...
Said Ji Ya, laughed dryly, and said: "It's all my brother's words that hurt the spring and autumn. It's winter, so there's nothing to hurt. Brother, let's sit down!"
Ji Ya laughed dryly for a while, entered the banquet as if fleeing and sat down, as if to expose what happened just now, Qi Lu shook his head helplessly.
Everyone sat down, and soon saw the envoys of the State of Qi coming, surrounded by Gongsun Wuzhi and the daughter of the country.Gongsun Wuzhi was grounded by Ji Lin a few days ago, Qi Lu didn't even know about it, he just thought that Gongsun, who was restless in Qi State, suddenly calmed down, and he didn't see anyone for several days.
Now it's the farewell banquet, and Gongsun Wuzhi can be regarded as the lifting of the ban, and he comes to the banquet.
Gongsun Wuzhi's eyes flicked wildly, clearly showing a well-behaved face, but his eyeballs rolled back and forth without stopping for a moment, and he saw Qi Lu and Ji Ya beside Qi Lu at a glance.
Ji Ya's face is also good, especially the feeling of health and vitality, which is completely different from Qi Lu's gentle and calm appearance, but Ji Ya is as enthusiastic as fire.
Gongsun Wuzhi stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Meng Yang, who is talking to Taifu Qi?"
The eunuch Meng Yang glanced at it and said, "Hui Gongsun is a great traveler from the state of Zheng."
"That's right, that's right," Gongsun Wuzhi said with a smile, "I remembered, it seems to be Zheng Guotaizai's nephew, called Ji... Ji Ya!"
Meng Yang's voice was still very calm, it seemed that the moment Gongsun Wuzhi opened his mouth, he knew what Gongsun Wuzhi wanted to do, and said lightly: "Gongsun Kankan has lifted his feet, and he will leave for Zheng State tomorrow, please don't cause trouble .”
"Tsk!" Gongsun Wuzhi gave Meng Yang a blank look, and said, "You are getting bolder and bolder. Am I a Gongsun or are you a Gongsun?"
In addition to Gongsun Wuzhi, the daughters of the Qi State also participated in the Yan Drinking. As soon as they sat down, they covered their noses and said disgustedly: "What kind of smell is this? The meat is smelly, withdraw it! The fish is fishy, withdraw it The green vegetables are all oily, so they are also removed! Why are the drinks bitter!"
All the dishes on the desk of Qi Guoguo's daughter were counted down. The maid had no choice but to remove them all, and put pickled hot and sour radish strips on the desk, as well as a bean of rice. People who don't know I thought Fan Guo was mean to Qi Guo's daughter.
The more Qi Lu looked at it, the more strange he became. He turned his head to look at Prince Fan who was sitting on the table not far away, and said, "Prince, the daughters of the country of Qi are not satisfied with the water and soil. Haven't any of the medical officers of the country of Fan visited?"
Prince Fan said: "I went, but they were all kicked out. To tell the truth, Taifu Qi said that Liao also went there in person, but failed to enter the door. The daughters of the country of Qi only need to be seen by their own doctors. I don’t see you, maybe I’m too wary, after all, I’m away from home, and it’s my daughter’s house.”
After listening to Prince Fan's words, Qi Lu still felt very strange that the daughter of Qi State was not acclimatized, even if she was on guard, she should be anxious if she hadn't been cured for so long, but now I see that the daughter of Qi State is not at all anxious , on the contrary, it seemed to be on guard against the medical officers of the Fan Kingdom.
Qi Lu was wondering, the emperor had entered the Yan drinking hall last, everyone stood up to salute, Ji Lin was tall, imposing, and walked in with steady steps.
When Gongsun Wuzhi saw Ji Lin, he was still arrogant just now. He suddenly trembled, and quickly lowered his head. Ji Lin walked up to Gongsun Wuzhi, and said with deep meaning: "Gongsun of Qi, don't you come here without any problems? I heard that Gongsun said something. I have been recuperating in the house for a few days, I don’t know how the injury is?"
The public prosecutor Wuzhi would have gritted his teeth. If it wasn't for the tiger and ben army guarding the door, according to Gongsun Wuzhi's temperament, he would have ran out a long time ago. How could he squat in the house obediently? This is clearly house arrest, but Ji Lin He said it with a straight face.
Gongsun Wuzhi smashed his tooth and swallowed it in his stomach, pretending to be good, and said with a dry smile: "Thank you... Thank you, the Son of Heaven, for your concern. Wuzhi's injury has healed, healed."
Ji Lin chuckled "Heh..." and looked down at Gongsun Wuzhi who didn't dare to look at him, and said, "It's fine, and the widow can rest assured. Even if the injury is serious, Qi Gongsun must not run around. Injured again somehow."
As Ji Lin said, he raised his hand, "Papa!" He patted Gongsun Wuzhi on the shoulder twice casually. It seemed that it was just an ordinary interaction between the monarch and his ministers, but Gongsun Wuzhi was in a cold sweat. The tone of the emperor, blatantly threatening, seemed He was warning himself, and the hand clapped on his shoulder was like a heavy hammer, Gongsun Wuzhi was in danger
"It's not good! The big thing is not good!"
Gongsun Wuzhi's eunuch ran all the way and rushed into the courtyard of the Qi State Mission, panicking.
The eunuch Meng Yang had just returned to the courtyard and entered the house where Gongsun of Qi State was staying, but he didn't see Gongsun Wuzhi and was looking for him when he heard the eunuch shouting.
Meng Yang's indifferent face was slightly stern, and he said in a cold voice: "This is a posthouse, what's the proper way to shout and shout? If someone else bumps into them, they will think that we Qi people don't know the rules."
The eunuch hurriedly confessed his guilt, but still flustered, he said, "Lord Meng Yang, it's really a big deal! Gongsun, Gongsun..."
Meng Yang said, "How about Gongsun?"
The eunuch said: "Gongsun...go...go...go..." He faltered and couldn't explain why for a while, so he gritted his teeth and said bravely, "Gongsun went to peep at the emperor taking a bath. Already!"
When Meng Yang heard this, his face darkened immediately. Although he was only an eunuch, he was full of majesty, and said, "Gongsun loves to play, don't you know the severity? Just let Gongsun do these foolish things?"
The eunuch knelt down and complained endlessly, and said: "Lord Meng Yang, there is nothing a villain can do. Gongsun has never listened to anyone, but Gongsun can listen to what Master Meng Yang says. Please also ask Master Meng Yang to personally listen to you." Go find Gongsun back, don't... don't make any trouble!"
Meng Yang didn't speak any more, turned around immediately, strode away from the courtyard of the Qi State Mission, and hurried to the courtyard where the Luoshi royal family stayed...
Didn't you see that Gongsun is busy? !
Gongsun Wuzhi wanted to yell out in such a vicious voice, but when he turned around, he met the emperor's gloomy eyes, and was so frightened that his back shivered, his whole body trembled, and with a "gudong", he fell to the ground with his buttocks. It has to be all over the place.
Ji Lin was already tall, but now he was condescending, looking down at Gongsun Wuzhi who fell to the ground, with a cold smile on his lips, and repeated: "Gongsun of Qi, it's so late at night, what are you doing here? You read it right, this is the courtyard where the royal mission stayed, not the courtyard where the people of Qi stayed."
"This..." Gongsun Wuzhi's eyes rolled wildly. What he was doing here, of course he wanted to peek at Qi Taifu taking a bath, but Gongsun Wuzhi absolutely couldn't say that. He had a faint premonition that if he said that Export, may die a terrible death...
Gongsun Wuzhi quibbled hard and said: "Going back...to the Son of Heaven, Wuzhi is... because he is not familiar with the situation of Fanguo Post, and lost his way..."
"Oh? Lost?" The smile on the corner of the emperor's lips slowly widened, and he said coolly, "Lost? Why did Qi Gongsun lie under the Taifu's room? Sneaking around?"
Gongsun Wuzhi was sweating coldly, and said: "The Son of Heaven... the Son of Heaven has learned a lesson, Wuzhi just... fell down just now, just supporting the household, nothing, no other meaning."
Gongsun's ignorance turned into stuttering for a while, and he himself felt that this sophistry excuse was very ugly and had no credibility at all.
At this moment, suddenly heard the sound of "Tat T T T T" footsteps, it was Meng Yang!
Although Meng Yang was an eunuch, he was extremely tall. Gongsun Wuzhi saw Meng Yang at a glance, as if seeing a relative.Meng Yang strode over, but instead of helping Gongsun Wuzhi who had fallen to the ground, he knelt down and bowed to the emperor, saying: "Meng Yang, my little minister, I pay my respects to the emperor."
Then he said: "Son of Heaven, please forgive me, Gongsun was rude, there will never be a next time."
Gongsun Wuzhi argued for a long time, Meng Yang exposed Gongsun Wuzhi's old background as soon as he came up, Gongsun Wuzhi still wanted to argue, but Meng Yang stopped him from speaking.
Ji Lin thought it was ugly, snorted coldly, and said: "The grandson of Qi State was robbed by horse thieves, since he was injured, he should recuperate well in the posthouse. The widow also thinks about the grandson. So, from today until we leave the posthouse, Qi Gongsun will take good care of his wounds in the house and don't step out of the house, do you understand?"
When Gongsun Wuzhi heard this, did he want to put him under house arrest?In the country of Qi, he wanted the wind to get the wind, and the rain to get the rain, and even the crown prince and his sons couldn't stand side by side with him. When he arrived in the Fan country today, he was going to be imprisoned in the house, just to take a look at Taifu Qi to take a bath for himself. ?And didn't see anything at all.
Gongsun Wuzhi's arrogant temper exploded in an instant, and before he could speak, he was pulled back by Meng Yang, who knelt on the ground and said, "The emperor forgives you, Gongsun already knows his mistake, thank you, the emperor."
After finishing speaking, he pulled Gongsun Wuzhi up. Gongsun Wuzhi wanted to quibble, but Meng Yang immediately pulled him away...
Ji Lin looked coldly at the direction where Gongsun Wuzhi and the eunuch Meng Yang left, squinted his eyes, and then found Zhu Dan, and arranged a few tiger soldiers around Gongsun Wuzhi, in the name of not letting people disturb Gongsun Wuzhi's recovery. In fact, it is grounding Gongsun ignorance.
There was a "bloody storm" and "turbulent waves" outside for a while, but inside the house, Qi Lu didn't notice it at all. After taking a leisurely bath, he just put on his underwear, and before he had time to wipe his hair clean, he heard a squeak. The door was pushed open, and the emperor walked in from the outside.
The emperor was dressed in a black robe, solemn and handsome, with a look of sternness on his face. For some reason, Qi Lv vaguely felt that someone had offended the emperor, and the emperor has a big temper now?
Before Qi Lu understood what was going on, the handsome and majestic emperor had already strode forward, picked up Qi Lu, and hugged him horizontally, Qi Lu was startled, and when he opened his mouth, he suddenly exclaimed, "Ah... " There was a sound, followed by the sound of "plopping" water.
The Son of Heaven hugged Qi Lu horizontally, and brought Qi Lu who had just put on his coat back into the barrel.Qi Lu immediately turned into a drowned rat, thumped twice, stared and said, "What's going on?"
The emperor squinted his eyes, and the corners of his lips slanted into a smile. Not only Qi Lu, but also the emperor entered the wooden barrel together. The emperor's black robe was instantly wet, and the blackness became deeper. There was no embarrassment, but with the deepening of the black robe, Tianzi's sexy hormones spewed out like a flood, and Qi Lu was stunned.
Ji Lin said hoarsely: "What's the situation? It seems that the Tai Tuo has not figured out what's going on so far, and he is as unprepared as ever."
Qi Lu didn't understand at all, and he was still confused. The emperor had already "Boom!" and put Qi Lu's wall on the edge of the barrel, and whispered in Qi Lu's ear, "Teacher, I'm getting a taste of it."
"Ah?" Qi Lu's head was a mess.
I heard the emperor continue to say: "Therefore... the widow wants to eat Taifu."
Qi Lu didn't know why, the emperor suddenly turned into a big wild wolf from a puppy, maybe it was because of menopause?Qi Lu fell asleep in a daze, exhausted, and when he fell asleep, he was still thinking, no, no, it's not menopause, I'm afraid it's puberty, the emperor's youthful rebellious period may not have passed yet...
Because the Son of Heaven was going to turn into a little dog in the middle of the night, Qi Lu slept very soundly in the second half of the night. At dawn the next day, Qi Lu was still sleeping in a daze, and felt someone poking his cheek, and poking him on the left side. , poked it on the right side, and then stroked along the bridge of my nose, as if I was having fun.
Because Qi Lu was too sleepy, he didn't have the energy to open his eyes at all, so he let the other party poke his face, who knew that after poking for a while, the other party was already "unwilling to be lonely", pushed Qi Lu, and a deep voice rang in his ears , Said: "Teacher, Tutor..."
It was the voice of the Son of Heaven, poking himself and calling himself.Qi Lu didn't want to open his eyes at all, "Huh?" He raised his eyelids and took a look. It was too early, and he was very tired last night, so he simply ignored the emperor, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was tireless, shook Qi Lu again, and said in a very gentle and coquettish voice in his ear: "Teacher Taifu, wake up quickly, look at the widow, the widow and the grandson are ignorant, who is beautiful? "
Qi Lu exploded the three-character scripture in his heart exhaustedly, what's the situation, why does the emperor want to compare his beauty with Gongsun Wuzhi?
In order to sleep, Qi Lu fiddled with Ji Lin like chasing flies, and said in a chaotic voice, "You, you, you...you are beautiful...you are beautiful."
Qi Lu said so, thinking that he could continue to sleep, but the emperor also felt that Qi Lu's Taifu was very perfunctory, still shaking Qi Lu, and said: "Teacher, wake up, and look at the widow."
Qi Lv was really unbearable, opened his tired eyes, because of yesterday's bath, his temple hair was all wet, and the emperor also loosened his temple hair and didn't comb it. His long black hair was splashed with black ink, like satin.Ji Lin's hair is naturally black, black and smooth, and smooth, the kind that can be advertised for shampoo, unlike Qi Lu, whose temple hair is a little brown, especially at the ends. Lightly turned maroon.
The emperor hadn't gotten up early yet, and he was lying on his side on the couch, resting on one of his arms as a pillow, propped his face on the side, his long black hair slid down the emperor's cheeks, and the most terrible thing was that his underwear was slightly loose, full of a A lazy breath.
One word - beautiful!
Ji Lin saw Taifu reluctantly opened his eyes, but the next moment, Taifu Qi's eyes became "weird", staring straight at him, the handsome emperor smiled generously, and smiled with incomparable tenderness. The voice said: "Teacher, is this widow handsome or not?"
Qi Lu's heart beat violently twice, as if he was beating a war drum. For a while, the war drum thundered, making Qi Taifu's blood boil. He rolled up his sleeves, rushed towards him involuntarily, and said viciously: "It's early in the morning, you little goblin!" Let's make a monster, and see how the master will teach you a lesson!"
Yan Yangjian planned to come in to wait on him, to see if the Taifu was awake, but when he reached the door, he heard the Taifu's shameless words, his face froze at that moment, and he knew that the emperor was inside, so he immediately backed out. Gently closed the door, and sent away all the eunuchs and maids in the courtyard in a sensible manner, lest the Taifu would be too shameless and yell so loud that the whole courtyard could be heard.
It was almost noon when the emperor left, because he still had to be busy with official duties, Qi Lv was paralyzed on the couch with a look of death on his face, he was too lazy to get up, wishing he could stay on the couch all day.
Qi Lu was getting lazy, struggling with the bed, it was almost noon, and he would have lunch soon, Qi Lu thought to himself, forget it, let's get up.
Qi Lv got up and had to wash and change his clothes with difficulty, when he heard the knock on the door, and the voice from the sheep's shoulders said: "Teacher, have you got up yet?"
It turned out that there was a guest seeking to see Taifu Qi, and this guest was very strange, not a senior official from any country, nor an envoy from Qi State or Zheng State, but...
Yan Yangjian said: "It's the cook in the posthouse. He asked to see the Taifu. He said that he wanted to ask Qi Taifu about something important."
Qi Lu had already woken up, if someone else heard that the cook was asking to see him, he would definitely look down on him, but Qi Lu didn't think lightly of the cook, so he said, "Please come in."
Shanfu quickly walked in respectfully, and quickly kowtowed to Qi Lu.This person is the cook in the Posthouse of Fanguo Pavilion. He kowtowed and said, "My minister pays homage to Taifu Qi, Taifu Qi, help me!"
Qi Lu was a little puzzled, and said, "What's the matter? Why do you call for help when you meet? Who wants your life?"
The cook knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said eagerly: "Teacher Qi doesn't know something, you must be the only one who can deal with this matter, Taifu Qi, please save this little minister!"
Shan Fu said that only Qi Lu could do it, and no one else could do it, not because of Qi Lu's high position and power, ranking first among the three masters of Luo Shi, but because of Qi Lu's superb cooking skills.
The cook cried and said: "It's about the daughters of the state of Qi. Since the daughters of the country came to our post, they haven't eaten a meal properly. No matter how carefully the ministers prepare the meals, they are all beaten back by the maids around the daughters of the country. It’s not about the oil, it’s about the smell. I don’t have any appetite at all. Our country is a small country, and the cooks have never seen the big world. They have already used all their tricks to cook meals for the girls of the Qi country, but...but it’s completely It didn't work!"
That was the case, Qi Lu finally understood.The daughters of the Qi State are hard to serve, and I don’t know if it’s because they are not acclimatized to the environment, or because they are frightened, they can’t eat the meals of the Fan Kingdom. They are too young to offend the Qi State at all. If something happens to the daughter of the country in their territory, not only the Qi State, but Zheng State, the country of in-laws, will also blame the Fan State.
The cooks in Fanguo lost their prejudices, and they heard that although Qi Lu is the emperor's tutor, he is good at cooking, and he is friendly, and he will not look down on cooks, so the cooks really have no choice. It was only then that I bit the bullet and came to ask Qi Lv for advice.
Qi Lv has nothing to do at the moment. If you can help with things that are easy to do, if you can help, it doesn't get in the way, so he said: "Get up first, what have you done for the girls these days, let me tell you." Listen."
When Shanfu heard this, he happily stood up and answered Qi Lv's words.
The chefs cook some special dishes for the girls of the country of Qi, such as big fish and meat, and everything. They are afraid that the girls of the country are not used to the dishes of the country, and they use the seafood brought by the mission of the country of Qi, that is, For seafood, I made some dishes.
Qi Lu's seafood porridge has been "famous all over the world". I heard that the emperor was full of praise for eating it. These days, the "idol benefit" of the emperor is unique. The princes and scholar-bureaucrats all regard the emperor's favorite as fashion, so the seafood porridge soon became popular. It became popular, and the cooks learned it specially, and gave the delicious seafood porridge to the women of Qi State to drink.
The cook said with a bitter face: "But...but this daughter of Qi State drank the seafood porridge, and heard the maid said that she only took one bite, and said...the seafood porridge was fishy and smelly, so she vomited it all up!"
The chef of Fanguo also said: "My Fanguo is located in the hinterland, and the ministers are really not good at cooking seafood. In the past, there were not necessarily one or two pieces throughout the year. I don't know how to deal with it. Use the seasoning to remove the fishy smell. I have used all of them, but the girls of the Qi State can’t eat the fishy smell at all, and the ministers really have nothing to do.”
Women from the State of Qi disliked meat too oily, fish too fishy, sea food too gritty, and even green vegetables, saying that leeks were too spicy, and bean sprouts were sour. of.
Qi Lu frowned and said, "I'm afraid this daughter of the Qi State is not acclimatized, but the food is second. Have you asked the medical officer to see it?"
Shan Fu said with a bitter face: "Hey, the girls of Qi State are delicate and delicate, and the medical officers of our Fan State are not allowed to enter the door. I heard that the medical officers of Qi State went to see and adjusted the soup, but they still look like that. We All I can do is cook a few appetizing meals, and ask Taifu Qi to save my life!"
Qi Lu nodded and said, "Actually, it's not difficult."
Not difficult?
Isn't that difficult?
However, when the cook of Fanguo heard Qi Lu's words, his heart immediately fell flat, and a big rock fell to the ground. He wished that Qi Lu hadn't said what meals to cook for the girls of Qi State. And it is convinced.
Qi Lv has such a magical power, as long as he speaks, others will feel convinced.
Qi Lu said with a smile: "The girls of the Qi State have no appetite, probably because they are not acclimatized to the environment. They only need some appetizing vegetables and food, and you said that the girls of the country dislike greasy, meaty, fishy smell..."
"Yes, that's right," Fan Guo's chef mentioned this, his head grew big, and said: "The women of the country don't eat greasy food, meat is too oily, and they don't eat Hai Cuo, saying that we in Fan Guo can't get rid of Hai Cuo..."
Not to mention greasy and meaty food, no matter it is fried, fried, steamed or stewed, Chinese girls can't eat it, and they vomit when they eat it.
Qi Lu said: "It's a coincidence that you came here. A few days ago, Lu developed some snacks, and today is just the time to open the altar."
When Qi Lu heard that the girls had no appetite, many sweet and sour food appeared in his mind, such as sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried pork tenderloin, sweet and sour short ribs, glutinous rice lotus root, hawthorn cake, etc. Eat appetizingly.
Coincidentally, Qi Lu developed some snacks a few days ago. This winter, he just pickled pickled vegetables and pickled some hot and sour radish sticks. Not oily or fishy, with a bit of sweetness, it is appetizing and refreshing, and because it is a pickled vegetable, it is quite a meal.
Qi Lu said: "You don't have to worry, Lu asked someone to bring you some side dishes as cold appetizers. Before the Chinese girls eat, let the Chinese girls eat some cold appetizers to ensure an appetizer, and then serve hot food."
Carrot sticks?
The cook was dumbfounded when he heard this. The cooks used all the delicacies from mountains and seas for such crude ingredients. They never thought that such crude ingredients could appetize the women of the country. However, Taifu Qi was so sure that the cook felt that Qi Lv was The life-saving straws naturally came down in a dozen piles.
Qi Lu asked Gongsun Hua to hand over the pickled hot and sour radish strips to Fan Guo's cook, and Fan Guo's cook left with a thousand thanks.
Soon it was time for lunch, and the cook of Fan Guo put the hot and sour radish strips pickled by Qi Lu in the exquisite Chengpan, and sent them to the house of the daughter of Qi State first.
The palace maid was waiting to pass on the meal, and when she saw that the cook of Fanguo brought a piece of radish, she was shocked and said: "Are you people of all kingdoms so impolite? How dare you use these radish sticks for the body of a daughter of a kingdom? Junk goods to fool the girls of the country? What is the reason for this?"
The cooks failed to offer hot and sour radish strips, and the maids directly blocked the door, and no cold dishes entered the room at all. The cooks were very anxious, and they were afraid of being accused, so they hurried to Qi Lv for help.
Qi Lv had just finished his lunch and was a little sleepy after eating and drinking. He was thinking about going back to sleep when the cook from Fanguo came again. Minister once!"
Qi Lunahan said, "Why, Lu's pickled vegetables don't work?"
The cook said: "That's not the case, it's just...it's just that the maid of the country's daughter despises the humbleness of the cold dishes, so...so no one is allowed to bring the cold dishes in."
When Qi Lu heard it, there is such an ignorant person?This radish was indeed very common in the Spring and Autumn Period, but who said that home-cooked radishes are not good to eat?The hot and sour radish strips pickled by Qi Lu are definitely delicious, not to mention as an appetizer, even if you eat it for nothing, you can eat a lot of it.
Qi Lu immediately said: "It's okay, Lu will go and have a look."
Qi Lu personally went to the courtyard of the Qi State Mission, and followed the cook to the door of the country girl's house. The maid was still scolding the cook, but when she saw someone walking in from a distance, she was startled, and quickly knelt down and said: "My servant has seen Taifu Qi!"
Qi Lu waved his hand and said, "Get up."
The maid quickly stood up and said, "I don't know what's the matter with Grand Tutor Qi. Maid help the Grand Tutor to pass it on?"
Qi Lu said: "Lu is fine, I just heard that the women of the country are not in good health and don't want to eat, so I pickled this cold appetizer."
The palace maid turned pale with shock, and said: "This...was made by Taifu Qi? Forgive me, please forgive me! I don't know if this handmaiden is Taifu Qi's handiwork, so please forgive me!"
The palace maid just took one bite at a time, but now it is said that Taifu Qi pickled it. The simple radish wished it could be turned into a golden radish in an instant.
Qi Lv was very kind, and said: "National daughters don't think about food, and as a special envoy to welcome relatives, Lu is also very worried. Please bring food in."
"It's...just..." The palace lady still hesitated and said, "You don't know something, Tai Tuo, in fact... In fact, Chinese girls absolutely hate the spicy taste of turnips, so..."
In the Spring and Autumn Period, both radishes and turnips were called radishes, and it was not until later generations that radishes and turnips were distinguished and had their own names. Therefore, the turnips mentioned by the court ladies are actually strips of radish pickled by Qi Lu .
Qi Lu smiled, and said proudly: "National daughters don't like the taste of turnips, even if it's a cold dish that hasn't been marinated by Lu, you can just send it in. If there is anything, Lu will take responsibility for it." Yes."
With Qi Lu's words, the court lady became more courageous, so she walked in with Chengpan.
The daughter of the State of Qi has been waiting for her meal for a long time. Although she has no appetite, she still knows that she is hungry. She is hungry, her body is weak, her mind is dizzy, and because she is not feeling well, she is not in a good mood. With a plate of cold food, the daughter of Qi State is about to attack in an instant.
The daughter of the State of Qi is about to become a married person, so it is inconvenient for Qi Lu to enter the house, so he waits outside the door. Standing outside, he can still hear the voice of the daughter of the State of Qi, and reprimands the maid: "Be careful with your hands and feet!" Not diligent, waited for half a day, just bring some vulgar cold food over, is there no food in Fanguo?"
The cooks listened tremblingly, and after waiting for a while, the voice inside stopped, followed by the sound of footsteps, and the palace lady hurried out, saying with surprise: "It's done! It's done!" Already! Taifu Qi’s cold dishes are really amazing, hurry up, the Chinese women’s meal is here!”
The cooks were shocked, with surprise expressions on their faces, and hurriedly passed on the meal in a mess, while Qi Lv stood aside with a smile, there was no surprise at all, as if everything was within reason.
After eating Qi Lu's hot and sour radish sticks, the daughter of the country wanted to pass on the meal. The cooks made a lot of appetizing meals and brought them in one by one, followed by white rice.
Chinese women don't like hot and sour radish strips, after all, they are not good-looking, and Chinese women have always hated radish that is slightly sweet and not sweet enough. There is also some inexplicable irritating taste in the spicy. After eating, there is still an aftertaste in the mouth , the most terrible thing is that if the radish is too spicy, it will cause heartburn, and there will be no peace for a day.
The girl of the country doesn't want to take a bite of this hot and sour radish sticks at all, but... smelling the hot and sour aroma, I feel a little appetizing for some reason, but just smelling it, I feel fresh and refreshing, more refreshing than any big fish or meat, The girl of the country was eager to move, so she picked up the chopsticks, added a small strip of hot and sour radish, and took a light bite with her mouth pursed.
this bite...
The pickled sour taste rushed into the mouth immediately, it was different from the sour taste of bitter wine, it stimulated the taste buds, the sour was slightly spicy, the radish was sweet, there was no irritating taste at all, it was refreshing, I only took a small bite, The mouth was full of body fluid, and the girls who are used to delicacies from mountains and seas have never moved their index fingers like this before, but now after taking a bite of radish sticks, they actually have a real feeling of moving their index fingers, really amazing!
The palace maids filed in and set out the meals one by one. The lady of the country couldn't wait to hold the bronze bean, hurriedly took a mouthful of rice, sandwiched hot and sour radish strips, and put a whole piece into her mouth. Take a bite of rice.
That's it, a mouthful of rice, a mouthful of radish sticks, another bite of rice, a mouthful of radish sticks, eating with relish, all the delicacies of mountains and seas nearby were left out in the cold.
The daughter of the country has not had a serious meal for several days. She is not hungry, but she can't eat, and she feels sick after eating. Today, she has a big appetite. After eating a large bowl of rice, she still has something to say, "Hurry up, give me more." I'll bring some food."
In this way, the daughter of the state of Qi, who didn't think about eating, ate two full bowls of rice, because she was too full, and finally couldn't eat anymore, so she gave up.
The cooks' crisis was resolved, and I was very grateful to Qi Lu, but Qi Lu didn't do anything earth-shattering at all, he just pickled some hot and sour radish strips.
Ji Lin was busy with official duties, but he also heard about Qi Lu's hot and sour radish sticks, which actually cured the unaccustomed daughter of Qi State. When he and Qi Lu had dinner together in the evening, they ordered the hot and sour radish sticks to be served with rice .
Qi Lu was a little dumbfounded, and said: "Son, there are so many good ingredients, why do you have to eat rice with turnips? If someone doesn't know, they think that Lü abused the emperor."
Ji Lin was eloquent, saying: "The kimchi that Taifu opened the altar was not given to the widow to enjoy for the first time. The widow tastes delicious. Tonight, I must eat hot and sour radish sticks and rice."
Qi Lu couldn't say no to Ji Lin. If Ji Lin wanted to eat swan meat, Qi Lu couldn't catch it, but he wanted to eat radishes, so it was not easy to catch, so he took some for Ji Lin.
Ji Lin also tasted the hot and sour radish sticks and rice, put them on the rice, the white rice, pickled clear radish sticks, although it looks a bit bland, but it is inexplicable to eat after one bite, after all, it is pickled vegetables Vegetables, the taste is heavy, which is good for preservation, and it is not easy to deteriorate. Naturally, the taste is much heavier than that of other dishes, which is very suitable for rice.
Ji Lin's eyes lit up, he stuffed a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, chewed with his cheeks puffed out, his usually sharp and deep tiger eyes turned into crooked peach blossom eyes when he smiled, and said vaguely: "Hello, Mrs. Eat, Tai Fu is delicious..."
Qi Lu: "..."
If the Son of Heaven had ears on his head at this time, he would definitely be shaking. Qi Lu endured it for a long time, and endured it again and again, but he still couldn't hold it back. He raised his hand and poked the Son of Heaven's swollen cheek.
The mission of Qi State is only staying in Fan Country and will leave soon. The monarch of Fan Kingdom specially prepared a banquet to see the emperor and the missions off. After drinking the Yan drink, they will leave Fan Country early tomorrow morning and go to Zheng State to see off their relatives .
When Qi Lu came to the banquet, he happened to meet Ji Ya, who was full of energy on weekdays, but today he looked preoccupied. With a sound of "Boom!", he directly bumped into Qi Lu, and both of them almost fell to the ground.
After sacrificing the tooth, he became aware and said, "Ah, it's brother!"
Qi Lu said strangely: "Brother, why are you so restless?"
Why are you so restless?In fact, the reason is very simple, from tomorrow onwards, the team will set off for Zheng State, and once they arrive in Zheng State, the grandsons will marry the daughters of Qi State.
Ji Ya sighed deeply, with a melancholy look on his face, Qi Lu said with a smile: "Brother, this look of sad spring and autumn is not suitable for you."
Ji Ya said: "Brother, don't make fun of me."
Qi Lv said: "Since my younger brother doesn't like it, why should I accept the position of welcoming the relatives?"
Ji Ya is a member of the Zheng Guo Mission, and he is fully in charge of the wedding ceremony. Qi Lu can tell that although Ji Ya and Gongsunzi are both arguing, Ji Ya should really care about Gongsun Zidu. Isn't it absurd that Ji Ya has now become a big pedestrian to welcome relatives?
Ji Ya sighed again, and said, "Brother, you don't know something..."
Since Gongsunzi lost his memory, he no longer remembers his "personal relationship" with Ji Ya.Coincidentally, Ji Ya's uncle Ji Zhong and Zheng Bowei did not agree with them being together.Ji Ya and Gongsun Zidu, one is from the Qing clan, and the other is from the Gong clan, if their stories get out, wouldn't the country of Zheng be in chaos?There is another reason, Ji Zhong also strongly opposes his nephew and grandson being together.
That is to say, Jizhong is a man of deep scheming. He doesn't believe that both his sons and grandsons are of high status. In the future, he will need to use in-laws to consolidate his status as a patriarch. Jizhong doesn't believe that he can continue to treat his nephew well.
As soon as Gong and grandson lost their memory, Ji Zhong and Zheng Boyu had a good understanding, and they immediately teamed up to beat the mandarin ducks. Ji Zhong also found Ji Ya, and persuaded him earnestly, no matter it was for his own good or for the future of Gong and grandson, don't do it. Have nothing to do with Gongsunzi.
Ji Ya sighed for the third time, and said, "I was planning to end it..."
Qi Lu knew that although Ji Ya looked like a dude and unreliable, he was actually very soft-hearted. Ji Zhong dominated the officialdom. Grandson Du's future and future persuaded Ji Ya, and when Ji Ya heard it, he became confused and didn't want to delay Gongsun Zidu.
So Ji Ya became cruel, and simply became the big pedestrian to welcome the relatives this time, intending to personally greet the daughter of Qi State.
Ji Ya said: "This matter... seems not as easy as Ya thought."
It's enough to make a decision, but the road after making the decision seems to be very difficult. At this point, I don't know what I feel in my heart. I regret it, but it doesn't seem like regret, but I feel inexplicably wronged. ...
Said Ji Ya, laughed dryly, and said: "It's all my brother's words that hurt the spring and autumn. It's winter, so there's nothing to hurt. Brother, let's sit down!"
Ji Ya laughed dryly for a while, entered the banquet as if fleeing and sat down, as if to expose what happened just now, Qi Lu shook his head helplessly.
Everyone sat down, and soon saw the envoys of the State of Qi coming, surrounded by Gongsun Wuzhi and the daughter of the country.Gongsun Wuzhi was grounded by Ji Lin a few days ago, Qi Lu didn't even know about it, he just thought that Gongsun, who was restless in Qi State, suddenly calmed down, and he didn't see anyone for several days.
Now it's the farewell banquet, and Gongsun Wuzhi can be regarded as the lifting of the ban, and he comes to the banquet.
Gongsun Wuzhi's eyes flicked wildly, clearly showing a well-behaved face, but his eyeballs rolled back and forth without stopping for a moment, and he saw Qi Lu and Ji Ya beside Qi Lu at a glance.
Ji Ya's face is also good, especially the feeling of health and vitality, which is completely different from Qi Lu's gentle and calm appearance, but Ji Ya is as enthusiastic as fire.
Gongsun Wuzhi stroked his chin and said with a smile, "Meng Yang, who is talking to Taifu Qi?"
The eunuch Meng Yang glanced at it and said, "Hui Gongsun is a great traveler from the state of Zheng."
"That's right, that's right," Gongsun Wuzhi said with a smile, "I remembered, it seems to be Zheng Guotaizai's nephew, called Ji... Ji Ya!"
Meng Yang's voice was still very calm, it seemed that the moment Gongsun Wuzhi opened his mouth, he knew what Gongsun Wuzhi wanted to do, and said lightly: "Gongsun Kankan has lifted his feet, and he will leave for Zheng State tomorrow, please don't cause trouble .”
"Tsk!" Gongsun Wuzhi gave Meng Yang a blank look, and said, "You are getting bolder and bolder. Am I a Gongsun or are you a Gongsun?"
In addition to Gongsun Wuzhi, the daughters of the Qi State also participated in the Yan Drinking. As soon as they sat down, they covered their noses and said disgustedly: "What kind of smell is this? The meat is smelly, withdraw it! The fish is fishy, withdraw it The green vegetables are all oily, so they are also removed! Why are the drinks bitter!"
All the dishes on the desk of Qi Guoguo's daughter were counted down. The maid had no choice but to remove them all, and put pickled hot and sour radish strips on the desk, as well as a bean of rice. People who don't know I thought Fan Guo was mean to Qi Guo's daughter.
The more Qi Lu looked at it, the more strange he became. He turned his head to look at Prince Fan who was sitting on the table not far away, and said, "Prince, the daughters of the country of Qi are not satisfied with the water and soil. Haven't any of the medical officers of the country of Fan visited?"
Prince Fan said: "I went, but they were all kicked out. To tell the truth, Taifu Qi said that Liao also went there in person, but failed to enter the door. The daughters of the country of Qi only need to be seen by their own doctors. I don’t see you, maybe I’m too wary, after all, I’m away from home, and it’s my daughter’s house.”
After listening to Prince Fan's words, Qi Lu still felt very strange that the daughter of Qi State was not acclimatized, even if she was on guard, she should be anxious if she hadn't been cured for so long, but now I see that the daughter of Qi State is not at all anxious , on the contrary, it seemed to be on guard against the medical officers of the Fan Kingdom.
Qi Lu was wondering, the emperor had entered the Yan drinking hall last, everyone stood up to salute, Ji Lin was tall, imposing, and walked in with steady steps.
When Gongsun Wuzhi saw Ji Lin, he was still arrogant just now. He suddenly trembled, and quickly lowered his head. Ji Lin walked up to Gongsun Wuzhi, and said with deep meaning: "Gongsun of Qi, don't you come here without any problems? I heard that Gongsun said something. I have been recuperating in the house for a few days, I don’t know how the injury is?"
The public prosecutor Wuzhi would have gritted his teeth. If it wasn't for the tiger and ben army guarding the door, according to Gongsun Wuzhi's temperament, he would have ran out a long time ago. How could he squat in the house obediently? This is clearly house arrest, but Ji Lin He said it with a straight face.
Gongsun Wuzhi smashed his tooth and swallowed it in his stomach, pretending to be good, and said with a dry smile: "Thank you... Thank you, the Son of Heaven, for your concern. Wuzhi's injury has healed, healed."
Ji Lin chuckled "Heh..." and looked down at Gongsun Wuzhi who didn't dare to look at him, and said, "It's fine, and the widow can rest assured. Even if the injury is serious, Qi Gongsun must not run around. Injured again somehow."
As Ji Lin said, he raised his hand, "Papa!" He patted Gongsun Wuzhi on the shoulder twice casually. It seemed that it was just an ordinary interaction between the monarch and his ministers, but Gongsun Wuzhi was in a cold sweat. The tone of the emperor, blatantly threatening, seemed He was warning himself, and the hand clapped on his shoulder was like a heavy hammer, Gongsun Wuzhi was in danger
