Chapter 159 Li Shen Who Can Eat
Chapter 159 Li Shen Who Can Eat
It was widely rumored among the common people that the best food in Quanchang'an was at Jinchangfang, but these rumors were still not worth mentioning to the nobles.
It doesn't matter, and there is nothing strange about it. Since ancient times, the lives of the rich and powerful have been incompatible with the lives of the common people.
The more Guishou people like things, the more honorable nobles should avoid contamination, so as not to be contaminated with some Guishou's habits and make others laugh.
The things that the heads of Guizhou like are generally like a gust of wind, which will dissipate immediately after blowing past, leaving nothing behind.
This time seems to be a little different. There are more and more legends about Jinchangfang, and gradually many people can't sit still.
If Ji Wang Li Shen doesn't eat a bowl of light scallion oil noodles every morning, he will feel that he has no energy for the day.
For eating noodles, Ji Wang Li Shen has his own understanding. He thinks that the first pot of noodle soup every day is the essence of noodle soup.
Put the noodles in the pot and turn them around for a few times, then pick them out of the pot carefully and trembling, pour fine shallots into the oil while hot, cook until the toppings are yellow and fragrant, then sprinkle some shallots, and vigorously toss the noodles Mix the noodles well.
When you take the first bite, you must open your mouth wide, and you must pick up enough noodles with chopsticks, because the first bite basically eats more than half of the value of the bowl of noodles.
The first bite should be eaten after a few casual chews, because while the aroma of scallion oil is still lingering in the mouth, quickly find the shredded pork in the toppings, wrap the shredded pork with noodles, and send it quickly again In the mouth, at this time, after taking a bite, the aroma of meat will burst out, and then the taste of salty and fresh will appear again. Even if it is because of the meat, the strong aroma is far less than the first bite.
After eating two mouthfuls of noodles, Li Shen has basically lost his appetite for the remaining noodles, and usually rewards the eunuchs close to him to eat them.
He wanted to preserve his appetite and continue to taste the tender, tender tofu that was as soft as white jade.
Of course, it must be the first spoonful from the first pot. Sometimes the women in the big dining hall are too stupid to control the heat, which will make the tender tofu at the bottom of the pot have a burnt taste.
Li Shen didn't need anything other than pouring some icing sugar water when eating soft tofu.
This way of eating was discovered by himself, because he really doesn't like to add black salt vegetables, soy sauce and vinegar, and dogwood water to the white jade-like tender tofu.
He thought it was a waste of money, and talked about it with Yunchu many times. He thought that icing water should be used, and it must be icing water made by boiling the icing until browned and adding water, so that it has a strong caramel flavor. Tofu is the delicacy in the world.
In the end, Yunchu sternly rejected it because there was only one reason, a bowl of tender tofu was only two pennies, and the icing that Li Shen used to make caramel water cost at least twenty pennies.
Thinking of this, Li Shen was very depressed, quickly ate five mouthfuls of tender tofu, and immediately moved the battlefield to the steamed stuffed bun area.
Although the name of pig meat has long been changed to pork by Yunchu, the name has changed, but the content remains the same, this cannot fool a well-educated person like Li Shen, so, even though pig meat buns look good, they smell delicious , he still doesn't want to eat it. He only eats stuffed buns with beef and leeks.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was a serious crime to slaughter cattle privately, and one would be exiled.
The beef here in Yunchu comes from Hu people. It is said that it is a kind of black, long-haired cattle on the plateau that are useless except for eating meat.
The Hu people would use this kind of cattle to carry goods when there were not enough camels. After the goods arrived in Chang'an, the kind of cattle lost their function and were eventually eaten by people.
No matter how delicious the buns are, he only eats three, and each meal only eats one to make him [-]% full. This is the rule Sun Simiao made for him, and he has adhered to it for more than [-] years.
After eating the buns, it is usually just when the sun rises, and when the gate of Jinchangfang opens.
Don't ask how Li Shen got in. Even if a Yongzhou shepherd has no power, he still has the power to open a door for his family from the market wall. If he doesn't have power, he can still open a small door for Jinchangfang.
He comes in quietly through the small door every day, and then leaves quietly through the small door again. Although the young bath shopkeeper in Jinchang Fang always hopes that he can enter the bathhouse to feel it again, Li Shen always scoffs. He has better ones at home. All the beauties waiting for him to take a bath are not those half-sized guys here with lumps on their arms and lumpy muscles.
Today is the day to enter the palace and have a brotherhood with the emperor's brother. In fact, he really wants to give his brother some of the delicacies he tasted in Jinchangfang, and ask him to taste what is called fireworks.
It's a pity that my elder brother dare not eat the food he sent, so he can only eat the food presented by his elder brother.
Thinking about it is actually not easy for my elder brother, because Chu Suiliang once again dismissed the matter of promoting Wu Gongren to Zhaoyi recently.
Li Shen believed that the reason why his elder brother recruited him into the palace at this moment was to get royal support from him.
Li Shen felt that Chu Suiliang was acting superfluous, and this was a matter of the inner garden of the palace, and had nothing to do with him, a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if the people of Wugong used to serve the father, now, the emperor is the emperor, as long as the emperor does not dislike it, it is not a big deal. You must know that the father did not let go of the former Sui Xiao empress who was over 40 years old. Brother just wanted a woman who had been abandoned by his father a long time ago, this is really not a big deal.
When the chariots and horses entered the Taiji Palace, Li Shen felt inexplicably irritable. If the emperor hadn't recruited him, he would never have wanted to step into this dark, humid and bloody old palace for the rest of his life.
While waiting under the steps of Hanyuan Hall, Li Shen saw a colorful butterfly dancing on the gardenia tree. He wanted to catch it, so he stood up straight again to make himself look taller.
There was no need to go to court today, Li Zhi woke up a bit later, Wu Mei personally opened the heavy curtain, and opened the windows to let the morning sun shine into the deep hall.
Li Zhi looked at the bloated Wu Mei bathed in the sun, with a smile on his face, this woman is good in every way, except that she is too easy to get pregnant.
"Report to Your Majesty, King Ji Li Shen is asking to see you."
After hearing the servant's report, Li Zhi stood up and asked the palace servants to take care of dressing, and when the clothes were finished, he said to Wu Mei: "You just wait to be your Zhaoyi."
"Will King Ji agree?"
"He will." Li Zhi replied and left the bedroom and went straight to Hanyuan Hall.
After respectfully sending the emperor away, Wu Mei said to a court lady: "Chunzhi, go to Hanyuan Hall to deliver some snacks to His Majesty and King Ji. Your Majesty got up late today and hasn't eaten yet."
The palace maid agreed and hurriedly prepared. She knew that it was fake to deliver meals to the emperor and King Ji, and the most important thing was to listen to what they had to say.
When she arrived at Hanyuan Hall, she found that the emperor and King Ji were very happy talking, but they didn't mention the matter of the empress being promoted to Zhaoyi. However, seeing the emperor was so happy, it must have been settled.
Li Shen happily accepted the invitation to eat, and deliberately picked up the meals sent by the palace servants one by one on his own plate before the emperor, and then ate them hungrily.
After eating, he wiped his mouth and said to Li Zhi with a smile: "Brother Huang, I am not talking about you as a younger brother. The meal you ate is not as good as the meal my younger brother ate in the morning."
Li Zhi ate a quail egg and said contemptuously: "It's not as good as what you eat, you were so greedy just now."
Li Shen looked around and found that only the palace servants and eunuchs were there, so he said with a smile: "The emperor's brother gave food, the sweet food that a younger brother must eat. Cold pork, isn't that delicious?"
Li Zhi snorted noncommittally: "Bastard, can this be compared?"
"Hahaha, my brother is convicted, but, I ate the court food in Jinchangfang today, so you might as well guess how many kinds of court food there are in Jinchangfang."
Li Zhi pointed to the dazzling array of food on the table with his chopsticks and said, "It will never be richer than here."
Li Shen said with a smile: "Your brother counted just now, there are only 22 kinds of court food in front of the emperor, two kinds of soups, four kinds of pastries, a total of [-] dishes.
The younger brother asked the steward of the canteen, and found that there are as many as 68 kinds of morning food in the canteen of Jinchangfang, as well as six kinds of soup and twenty cakes. "
Li Zhi stopped holding the vegetables, his eyes became cold and cold at the same time, he looked at Li Shen and said, "Is this the luxury in the world? Whose family's food is so extravagant?"
Li Shen said with a smile: "These meals belong to Quan Chang'an people. As long as you have some money in your pocket, you can go in and choose the one you like."
Hearing Li Shen's explanation, Li Zhi's cold eyes gradually warmed up, and he said indifferently: "So it's a restaurant, does it mean that the cook in your Prince Ji's Mansion is not as good as the cook in a restaurant?
If you like, you can take the cook away from that restaurant, it's my reward for you. "
Li Shen smiled and said: "Thank you, Brother Huang, for the reward, but ah, I can't afford to support so many cooks."
Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and said, "How much?"
Li Shendao: "If you count all the people who buy, run, and sweep, there will be no less than 500 people."
"500 people?" Li Zhi almost dropped the chopsticks in his hand in surprise, and slowly put down the chopsticks and said, "You said that a restaurant is just cooks and cooks, and there are as many as 500 people in total?"
Li Shen said disapprovingly: "There are so many people eating, I wonder if Brother Huang has seen thousands of people eating together?"
"Thousands of people, still together, are these people the people of Chang'an?"
"I can assure you that they are all Chang'an people, there are also many Hu people, and scholars who went to Beijing to prepare for the exam. Of course, there will be more merchants, and some people eat there almost every day.
Brother Huang didn't know, seeing those people saluting the giant phoenix every day before entering the workshop gate, the eye sockets of my ministers were a little moist. "
