Datang Coroner

Chapter 1103 Everything is ready
Not only Fu Shiyi and the rest of the restaurant are preparing for this matter, but Li Changbo and the others have already prepared everything, and they only owe Dongfeng.

Speaking of this matter, Fu Shiyi felt a little embarrassed: "It's just a birthday, in fact, it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

Manniang immediately retorted: "Nonsense, how can this be a trivial matter? As a woman, apart from the day of marriage, the most important day is this day."

She also saw Fu Shiyi's thoughts, so she waved her hand: "Forget it, little lady, don't worry about this matter, and then just focus on being pretty."

The day before the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is the Laba Festival.

Fu Shiyi cared more about this than his own birthday.

After all, Laba porridge is eaten on the day of Laba Festival.

A bowl of delicious Laba porridge is not easy to eat.

And Laba porridge is also sweet and salty.

Manniang and the others were busy preparing for the ceremony, while Fu Shiyi was busy preparing things for the Laba Festival.

The Laba Festival was popular at the beginning because it was the day when Buddha Sakyamuni became enlightened.

And before the Buddha Sakyamuni became enlightened, a shepherd girl saw that the Buddha was too weak, so she boiled chyle for the Buddha.

This bowl of chyle is the origin of Laba porridge.

But in fact, besides this, there are other stories. The only one Fu Shiyi remembers is that of a dutiful son, because his family was poor, and his old mother almost starved to death on the day of Laba Festival.

He went out looking for something to eat, and finally found a mouse.

I wanted to catch the mouse and eat it, but found some food in the mouse's hole.

He used these grains to make a bowl of porridge for his old mother. Because of this, the mother and son survived. To commemorate and be grateful, he cooked a bowl of Laba porridge every year in the future.

Not only to eat, but also to give alms to the poor, relatives and friends, and even stray animals.

But this thing may be the story of fooling children at that time.

But the story belongs to the story, and the custom of eating Laba porridge is true.

However, there is no custom of eating Laba porridge in the Tang Dynasty.This custom will gradually spread until the Song Dynasty, because Buddhism prevailed in the Song Dynasty.

Fu Shishi actually prefers to eat salty porridge.

It's just that the most traditional Laba porridge is still sweet.There are many beans in traditional Laba porridge.

In addition to rice, millet, red beans, pinto beans, red dates, peanuts, melon seeds, lotus seeds, longan, and even water chestnut rice.Finally, it is flavored with brown sugar.

After cooking, the porridge is thick and reddish in color, and it tastes like a sweet taste.

Because there are no peanuts and melon seeds at the moment, Fu Shiyi only uses eight kinds of things: rice, millet, red beans, red dates, lotus seeds, longan, and walnut kernels to make sweet porridge.

As for the other kind of salty porridge, the ingredients used are somewhat interesting.

First is rice, then bacon, tofu, cabbage, carrots, vermicelli and fried peanuts.

But now there are no peanuts, so Fu Shiyi turned the fried peanuts into fried dried tofu.

Whether it is sweet porridge or salty porridge, there is one thing in common, that is, all the ingredients need to be cooked differently, so not all the ingredients are put into the pot all at once, but put in one by one.

This ensures the best taste.

For salty porridge, the meat and dried tofu must be fried together to ensure a full flavor.

When Fu Shishi was cooking porridge, Ah Mei helped Fu Shishi watch the fire.

Looking at it, Ah Mei couldn't help drooling, so she stared at the pot and asked Fu Shishi: "Did the lady make up Laba porridge because she wanted to eat meat porridge?"

Fu Shishi was left speechless by the question: ... In Ah Mei's eyes, am I such an unreliable foodie?
But considering that there is no such thing as Laba Festival now, Fu Shiyi told Ah Mei the story of the filial son in order to save his face.

Ah Mei listened with gusto, and knew how to catch loopholes: "Then the mouse is saving so much food for the winter?"

Fu Shishi stirred the porridge to prevent it from sticking to the pot: "That's right. After all, it's hard to find food in winter. Many animals will store food for the winter."

A melancholy expression suddenly appeared on Amei's round face, she wrung her fingers and asked, "That man stole its food, how can it survive the winter—"

Fu Shiyi was dumbfounded by the question: ...how would I know?

She said uncertainly: "Maybe they didn't take them all away? Otherwise, they took them all away, and the mice starved to death—"

Ah Mei tilted her head and thought about it, then sighed faintly: "He must have starved to death, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about this matter every year. But the mouse is not a good thing, its food is stolen Human—”

It's a good fairy tale, when Ah Mei told it like this, Fu Shiyi immediately had an extremely strange feeling: it doesn't seem to be so beautiful.

Just when Fu Shishi was struggling, Li Changbo came over.Seeing the expressions of the two of them, he asked a lot: "What's the matter?"

Ah Mei likes Li Changbo very much, she always knows everything about Li Changbo's problems.

So at that time, I told Li Changbo exactly what happened.

Even that story was retold exactly as it was.

So much so that Fu Shiyi couldn't help but think: Ah Mei's memory is really good.If you go to school, you must have good grades——

Li Changbo smiled immediately after hearing the whole story: "Nine times out of ten, the mouse starved to death. A mouse can't save much food, and it is difficult to feed a person. And the winter is so long, even if there is not all Take it away, it's no use leaving that alone—"

Hearing these words, Fu Shiyi became even more confused: when Ah Mei said that, he felt that the fairy tale seemed to have changed, and when his little boyfriend said that - okay!This is clearly a dark fairy tale.

The kind that can make you shiver after listening to it.

Fu Shishi decided to remind him: "Don't say such cruel words in front of children. It's easy to teach children badly."

Li Changbo tilted his head in doubt: "Are you going to lie? Since Amei herself is aware of this problem, she must also want to know the truth. Besides, this world is not only good, but also bad."

Fu Shishi was completely speechless. In the end, he could only tap the edge of the pot with the spoon in his hand: "Forget it, this is just a story, so there's no need to think about it so much. Anyway, we can eat Laba porridge."

Ah Mei nodded solemnly: "Magistrate Li is right. The little lady is just too naive. In the future, County Magistrate Li must take good care of the little lady, and don't let the little lady always be deceived by others."

Li Changbo smiled and nodded: "It's natural."

Fu Shishi was dumbfounded: "When did I get cheated?"

Ah Mei pouted: "Just yesterday, the little lady gave those people who came to ask for rewards twice!"

　Children are not easy to cheat series.I think now.Children are really too smart to be fooled at all... Thinking back to when I was a child, I felt so stupid, okay?
