Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 629: Daming Lakeside
Jinan.

Daming Lake.

In front of the gate of Shuiyue Zen Temple in the northeast of the lake, on the fishing rock, Emperor Zhu Yihai also hangs a pole to fish today, hoping to be the master of Yiming Lake.

Wang Sangyu came lightly.

Riding a five-flowered horse, the dark green jacket skirt is matched with the grass green horse-face pleated skirt, the pipa sleeves are closed, and the outer cover is brocade and embroidered flowers.

When people are on the horse, it is even more sassy.

"How many fish did your majesty catch?"

"The harvest is not small," Zhu Yihai smiled, the buoy shook, Zhu Yihai lifted the rod skillfully, and it was another fat crucian carp.

"Your Majesty really knows how to choose the location. This fishing rock is connected to the spring water. Even in the twelfth lunar month, [-]% of the surface of Daming Lake is frozen, and it will not be frozen here. It is the best location for fishing." Wang Sangyuli got off his horse and came straight. to the emperor.

"The fish here are extraordinarily fresh and tender, without any earthy smell."

Zhu Yihai took down the palm-sized crucian carp. Indeed, the color with long scales was even more beautiful. "Stew soup, Chinese New Year is coming soon. Drinking a cup of crucian carp soup is the most delicious. Add some shredded radish to make it even more delicious."

For Jinan, Daming Lake is equivalent to the West Lake in Hangzhou. This lake formed by the convergence of many springs in Jinan is so beautiful.

The Shuiyue Temple by the lake has a long history. It was built during the Five Dynasties and the Later Jin Dynasty.The perfume in the temple is strong, and many Shandong scholars like to study here.

For example, the four Wang Shizhen brothers from the Wang family in Xincheng, and the Li Hanming brothers from Zhangqiu, have all studied here before.

Daming Lake is full of scenery and allusions.

For example, the fishing rock under Zhu Yihai’s feet is also very famous. It was originally just a piece of stone in the lake. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, a Shandong official abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. He read and wrote poems in Shuiyue Temple, and fished here in his spare time. , He also deliberately left a lot of poems here, but he kept his name incognito and did not communicate with others. He called himself the master of Minghu and lived a leisurely life.

However, it is said that he was later killed by the Tartars after breaking through the city, and there is no trace of him anymore, but the Diaoji Island he left behind has become a scene of Daming Lake. Countless literati like to come here to check in and leave a poem.

"Want to have a pole?" Zhu Yihai asked.

"I only know how to ride horses, archery, wield knives and guns, but I'm really not good at fishing. And it's so cold, it's too hard to fish here."

"It seems that you really don't know how to fish. A real fisherman doesn't care about wind, frost, rain and snow. As long as he has a mouth, he is not afraid of a knife."

Zhu Yihai put away his pole, "Cook fish to eat, you or I?"

Wang Sangyu didn't wear Zen clothes today, and wore a jacket, skirt and horse face with a wig. It's like a completely different person from yesterday.

"Does Your Majesty still cook fish?"

"Well, old gluttons are also cooks who can cook, and they are good at cooking because of their mouths."

"I didn't expect that. I only heard that the sage was frugal, and he only had four dishes and one soup per meal. Unexpectedly, he was still gluttonous."

"I am actually delicious, and the food is delicate, but I am against waste."

Zhu Yihai's harvest was good, the fishing location was really good, and it was a good opening. He caught a lot of crucian carp, carp, silver carp and bighead carp, etc. Zhu Yihai finally kept two crucian carp and one bighead carp, and called the guards to take the others. Extra meal.

A stove was set up by the lake to fetch water from Baotu Spring.

Crucian carp soup, remove the scales, remove the gills, remove the internal organs and clean, heat the oil in a pan, sprinkle some salt, fry the crucian carp on low heat until both sides are a little golden, scoop it up, and then add two eggs to fry to shape. Then pour into the spring water, bring to a boil on high heat, put in the fish and eggs, and then put in the shredded white radish.

This season is the season to eat radishes, the weather is cold, but the radishes are more juicy, crispy and sweet.

The ingredients are simmered over high heat, and the fish soup will soon become thick and white, with a fragrant fragrance.

Finally, sprinkle some red wolfberry and green onion for decoration, add some salt to taste, and a pot of fragrant crucian carp soup is complete.

Standing by the side, Wang Sangyu watched the emperor's smooth cooking skills, and couldn't help admiring him. I didn't expect the emperor to really know how to cook, and his skills were not bad.

Fat head fish, the emperor made a fish to eat two.

Fish head with chopped pepper and braised fish slices. When cooking soup, these two dishes are cooked together.

The fiery red chopped peppers on the finished fish head with chopped peppers are poured with some hot oil, and the chopped peppers, prickly ash, and shallots are stirred, and the spicy taste will make people drool.

The fish slices cut into large pieces are first slightly fried, then braised in soy sauce, with some chives added in, it also looks very appetizing.

The fish cooked three dishes, and Zhu Yihai stewed a lotus root, which is the lotus root in Daming Lake. The freshly dug lotus root is stewed, tender and glutinous.

Finally, I fried a Daming Lake water bamboo.

"Four dishes and one soup are ready, crucian carp soup, fish head with chopped pepper, braised fish slices, lotus root with pork feet in casserole, fried rice stem with vegetables, try it."

Wang Sangyu was very generous today, and he was not polite. He sat down with a smile, and took the initiative to help the emperor set the dishes, and even warmed the pot of wine just now.

After taking a sip of the fish soup, his big eyes brightened a bit, "This taste is really fresh."

"The water in Daming Lake is good, so the fish is fresh. Good food requires good ingredients."

The water quality of Daming Lake at this time is really good, and Jinan is worthy of being called a spring city. There are countless sweet springs in the city, and finally flow into this Daming Lake. The water of this lake is clear and bright, and the lake water is not polluted. There are many bamboo shoots and cattail vegetables.

In summer, lotus leaves occupy half of the lake. When the lotus is in full bloom, there will be many lotus pickers rowing on the lake, which is very beautiful.

Rice is also planted next to the lake.

Every year, lotus roots and fish are produced, and reeds are harvested to harvest fragrant rice.

The lake fields are fertile, the water is sufficient, the production volume is large, and the market is close, so the value is extremely high.

However, such a treasure land is actually occupied by Shuiyue Temple and some famous families in Jinan, and they don't pay taxes to the court at all.

"As far as I know, there are only a few hundred acres of lotus roots in Daming Lake, and a year can produce 50 catties of lotus roots, 40 catties of cattail bushes, 30 catties of reeds, and 30 catties of lotus leaves.

In addition, the fish in the lake can catch [-] catties a year. "

"There are many lake fields around the area where rice is grown, and the price of the fragrant rice produced is extremely high."

Wang Sangyu drank the thick white fresh and sweet fish soup, and was not surprised to hear the emperor's words. After all, this man was able to conquer Jinan's strong city without a fight, and he was able to forcefully seize the title of the saint's land, so he is thinking about it now. The output of Daming Lake is not surprising.

Daming Lake is a treasure land, everyone knows that the output price is high, and everyone knows it, but no one thought about it before, because some things have been passed down for thousands of years.

For example, Shuiyue Temple has been around for thousands of years from the Five Dynasties to the present.

"Daming Lake is really beautiful. Compared with West Lake in Hangzhou, the pearl of Jinan City, in this famine year, the lotus root, bamboo shoot and cattail fish it produced saved countless hungry people."

"Try this fish head, do you like spicy food?"

"Well, sweet and sour, bitter and spicy have their own flavors, I like them all."

Wang Sangyu stretched out his chopsticks to grab the fish, and the first chopsticks caught the fish's lips, giving it to the emperor first.

"When you see you eat fish, you know everyone's background. If you are kidnapped by thieves, you will have to ask for a big price."

Wang Sangyu smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty knows everything."

It seems that many people understand that eating fish depends on family status. There is such a saying on the road that thieves kidnap a ticket and go up the mountain after catching the ticket. They must starve for two days before cooking a fish.If the first chopsticks of this ticket were eaten with the back of the fish, it was probably an ordinary person.

If the first chopsticks eat fish lips, it is definitely a good fortune, and the second chopsticks eat crescent moon meat, then it must be right.

The meat of the fish lip is the most tender and delicious. There are also dishes specially made with the fish lip in the palace. It is between the fish meat and the fish skin.

The crescent moon meat is close to the gill cover of the fish. It is shaped like a crescent moon. It has more meat than the lip of the fish. There are two big pieces. It is the most smooth and tender, with a good taste and no thorns.

Therefore, if you just open the gill cover and eat the crescent moon meat, you will definitely know how to eat it, and the conditions are good.Otherwise, when most people eat fish, they may go to the back and belly of the fish.

The ones that can eat are the fish lip, moon white and fish brain first, or even a fish only eats these few. ,
The fat fish head is made of chopped pepper fish head. Although it is less fresh than stewed fish head, after adding chopped pepper, it adds a bit of spicy and spicy. The fish skin is crispy on the outside, but the meat inside is still tender. Especially the crescent moon meat.

Zhu Yihai took a piece of crescent moon meat for Wang Sangyu.

She is a spicy eater.

Although pepper has been introduced for a long time, it is not widely popularized or even accepted on a large scale. Wang Sangyu is not afraid of spicy food, and even calls it spicy.

The more Zhu Yihai watched it, the more he liked it.

It is hard to imagine that this is a person who has been a monk for three years. Of course, in her own words, she is not really a monk, because she did not officially enter the monastery. It was just that she couldn't think about it after her husband died, so she cut her hair and went to the mountains at home. Practice in Zhuangzi.

But she stayed in the mountains for three years, but she couldn't really calm down.

In other words, in this chaotic world, there are too many things that hinder the world.

Staying in the mountains is actually more to show to the Liu family that although she is young, she has no intention of remarrying, and at the same time has no intention of competing for the right to manage the family's property.

Three years in the mountains is also three years of filial piety for my husband.

"Does Your Majesty think I'm vulgar? I'm the daughter of a general, and I practice riding and shooting since I was young. I'm impatient with women's embroidery, and I don't like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I only like riding and shooting knives and guns. I used to think that maybe I voted for it." Wrong baby, I should have given birth to a boy so that I could go to the Liaodong battlefield to defend my family and the country.”

Zhu Yihai said, "I send you a poem, a heroic five-foot spear, and the first light of dawn shines on the military field. The sons and daughters of China are so ambitious, they don't like red clothes, they like armed forces."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I really like this poem."

Through Liu Chao, Zhu Yihai allowed Dongchang to inquire about the situation of many Wang families. In other words, the Wang family was also from a famous family. Her grandfather was Wang Xianggan, the governor of Ji Liao, who belonged to the Wang family of Xincheng, a famous family in Jinan.

At the beginning of Chongzhen, Wang Xiangqian resumed as a supervisor in his 80s.
During the reign of Tianqi, he was the governor of Jiliao. At that time, Xiong Tingbi abandoned Shanhaiguan. Rumors spread everywhere in Beijing that Houjin was going to enter the customs. The emperor was so frightened that he grabbed the sleeve of the chief minister Ye Xianggao and cried. The old method is to find the Mongols to fight for gold, and take the opportunity to recover Ningyuan.

Although Wang Xiangqian had just taken over as the governor of Jiliao, he also knew that the Mongols were not reliable at this time, let alone be able to defeat Houjin, so he rejected the plan, and finally invited the emperor Sun Chengzong to preside over the rebuilding of the Ningguanjin defense line and continue to defend the Ming Dynasty. Killed.

Wang Xiangqian's family started from the imperial examination, and their ancestors were just craftsmen.

Wang Xiangqian's father was an official to the Ministry of Punishment, so there is a memorial archway with two ministers.

However, after the situation in Liaodong improved, the imperial court specially commended Wang Xiangqian, the governor of the Ministry of War, Ji Liao, the governor of the Ministry of War, and the prestige of Jiujiang. Chongguang and his father, Wang Zhiheng, also specially ordered the construction of the palace protection archway for the fourth generation.

It was built just outside the south gate of Xincheng County, at the southern end outside the moat suspension bridge, and the riding street stands.

Wang Sangyu's father was not actually Wang Xiangqian's own son, but the son of a servant he adopted when he was the governor of the Xuanfu. Guards fight.
