Chinese dining table

So far, there are only three people in the Tang Dynasty who can be called emperors, namely—Emperor Li Zhi, Empress Wu Mei, and Prince Li Hong.

These three people are the real masters of the huge empire of Datang.

As long as Li Hong confirms that the first two are in the palace, he can go out.

For Chang'an Fang City, Li Hong only likes to go to Jinchang Fang.

Only in Jinchangfang did he feel that he didn't have to pretend to be various roles.

During the period before the Chinese New Year, Jinchangfang was actually closed, and outsiders could not enter.

Because during this period of time, Jinchangfang is a huge workshop, and the people in the city have to prepare a huge amount of goods that can be sold until Shangyuan Day in these fifteen days. There is no one to entertain outsiders.

In addition, during this period of time, the canteen of Jinchangfang made all kinds of food, ranging from all kinds of meat to all kinds of pastries. Most of the food was placed in the open air and waited to be frozen before packaging. It would be bad if someone came in with a bad intention.

Yunchu ordered Li Hong to ride in a special carriage when he went out. Li Hong carried out this very well, and every time he traveled, he used two cars. Every time he got into the car, Li Hong got on at will. It is still difficult to attack Li Hong.

The 120-jin iron cone thrown by Bolang Shalishi smashed the auxiliary car of the first emperor, which kept the emperors terrified. Li Hong felt that it would be better for him to listen to his master if he was delicate and fleshy.

However, after the carriage entered Jinchangfang, Li Hong got out of the carriage, and only two personal guards could keep up with him.

At this time, Jinchangfang has been completely covered by the strong aroma of boiled meat. There are tens of thousands of catties of meat cooked here every day. After the meat is mixed with spices, the aroma is overflowing. Many people say that in Jinchang Changfang only needs to eat, no need to cook, because the smell of meat is enough to serve with rice.

When passing by a family's door, he smelled a strong smell of steamed cakes, so Li Hong pushed open the door and walked in, just in time to see the women and men of this family carrying a big pot upside down into a huge wooden basin and just steamed it. Zong Cake.

Because the dates and candied raisins are at the bottom, only when the steamed zeng cake is placed upside down in a wooden basin can the steamed candied dates at the bottom be exposed on the top.

The man in charge saw that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came in, and without saying a word, he took the cleaned lotus leaf from the side, dug out a big piece of Zong Cake with a wooden shovel, put it on the lotus leaf, and handed it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Hong took out a silver spoon from his pocket and took a bite, then frowned and said to the man in charge, "I put less dates and more raisins. This year raisins are cheap, so you can't fool everyone. Put more of them." Zeng cake is not sweet"

The man in charge took out a black clay pot, opened it carefully, dug out a spoonful of bee sugar from it, put it on the rice cake in the hands of His Highness, and gave His Highness a sly smile.

Li Hong dug out another piece of steamer cake with bee sugar on it and ate it, "That's right, huh? No, it's also bee sugar, raisins and candied fruit. How much do you plan to sell it for?"

The man in charge stretched out two fingers wretchedly, seeing that the Crown Prince's expression was uneasy, he stretched out three fingers tremblingly.

Li Hong jumped on his feet and said, "You are a black heart, and you actually want to buy three Wen more than in previous years."

The woman in charge laughed and said, "Your Highness, what our head of the family said is three times..."

Li Hong cursed and left the dark steamed cake seller. He scolded them, but they refused to lower the price. The sweet and sour steamed cake will sell for three times the price.

Too familiar... so that these unscrupulous people forgot how majestic the Tang prince is.

However, the sweet and sour zeng cake tastes better than the steamed zeng cake made from pure dates. After cooling down, the steamed steamed cake made from pure dates always smells like feces...

Li Hong finished eating the sweet and sour rice cake in two bites, wiped the silver spoon with the lotus leaf and put it in his pocket, and then threw the lotus leaf into the trash can by the side of the road.

The personal guards following His Royal Highness didn't care at all about the prince being tricked out of the house. As long as the family didn't hurt the prince, they would ignore it as usual, because if they did, the prince would get angry.

Passing by a steamed chestnut cake, His Royal Highness went in again, and when he came out, he had another lotus leaf in his hand, and on the lotus leaf was a piece of chestnut cake with a lot of goji berries.

This kind of chestnut cake is called Sun Immortal Chestnut Cake, because Sun Immortal said that chestnuts are sweet and warm in nature, enter the three meridians of the spleen, stomach, and kidney, nourish the stomach and invigorate the spleen, strengthen the yang and invigorate the kidney, and promote blood circulation to stop bleeding. It is a good thing, no matter whether you have money or not. Men with money should eat more.

Sun Shenxian said that eating more chestnuts can strengthen yang. This chestnut cake maker thinks that they should pull out this benefit separately. Not only do they want to talk about it, but also add wolfberry to it, so that the effect of strengthening yang will be doubled, so that it is worthy of the name Sun Shenxian chestnut cake head.

In fact, adding wolfberries to chestnuts does not taste as good as pure chestnut cakes. However, after adding wolfberries, a piece of chestnut cakes of the same size can be sold for double the price.

"My heart is dark, my heart is dark"

His Royal Highness was eating chestnut cake while cursing. Soon he was attracted by the woman's scolding voice coming from the polo field. He turned around and smiled immediately.

There were two sturdy female polo players tearing apart on the polo field, and their hair, which was tightly wrapped by cloth, was already messed up.

The polo riding clothes that were originally very slim were also pulled loose, so they still refused to give up, still trying their best to tear each other's clothes, as if they would not stop exposing the private parts of each other's body in broad daylight.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement, and there were seven or eight painters dedicated to the book printing house nearby. Everyone was paying attention to the two women who were trying to tear their clothes on the polo field. They were afraid that if they made a sound, they would stop tearing. .

His Royal Highness looked around casually, and immediately found a wretched-looking man on the sidelines secretly pointing at the women on the polo field.

His Royal Highness immediately understood that these bastards thought it was boring for women to play polo just by riding a horse. In order to improve the appreciation of women's polo, such a scene could be arranged.

"Indecent!" The angry His Royal Highness immediately lost interest in watching, stuck the sticky empty lotus leaf on the face of the wretched man, kicked him twice on the waist, and took the guards gone.

The guard said regretfully, "Your Highness, after waiting for a while, the clothes were torn apart. You acted too early."

Li Hongbai gave the guard a look and said, "You can't even wait for a day for the scene you want to see. If you want to see it, you have to pay a lot of money to watch it during the Lantern Festival. Today, it's impossible. It's going to whet your appetite."

The guard immediately said angrily, "I'm not a son of man"

After passing under a huge sloping willow tree, Li Hong got into a small door with a strong smell of meat.

As if the gatekeeper didn't see it, he weaved bamboo baskets for meat. These bamboo baskets were boiled in boiling water and dried before they could be sold to wealthy families.

Li Hong stood on the open space with a smile on his face, watching the guys press down the long pole, and fish out the meat piece that was wrapped in the woven iron net at the other end from the huge urn.

When the dark red marinade drained away, he turned the lever and put hundreds of catties of marinated cooked meat on a huge basket. The staff pulled out the pins under the iron net, and the brightly colored meat pieces were released. Falling into the basket, not to mention the white gas, the smell makes every meat eater fascinated.

"Meat cooked in a small pot is not comparable in taste to meat cooked in a large pot, especially beef. Freshly cooked beef is not good. You have to wait a little bit until the fat on the beef is slightly reduced. It tastes the most delicious when it shrinks when it is cold.”

Li Hong himself is a carnivore. He especially likes to eat beef. The reason why he doesn't like pork is entirely because his butt hurts. He remembers the feeling when Master Yunchu whipped his butt with a bamboo stick when he gnawed on a pork knuckle. .

He still remembered that Master Yunchu said that your direct descendants of the Li family cannot eat pork.

Li Hong didn't think that Master Yunchu would lie to him, so after that time, he simply gave up pork. Although it was painful, after that stick, he really never ate fatty pork.

Without wanting to make his mouth feel bad, Li Hong studied the way of eating beef intensively. So far, Li Hong can be regarded as a master in how to eat beef.

"When you eat beef, you should eat it in big chunks. That's the way to be proud. Cut it into thin slices and add other things. That's how the poor eat."

While Li Hong was talking, he tore off a big piece of beef and stuffed his mouth full. This made him feel as if he had turned into a wolf and bit the neck of a wild beast.

When Li Hong entered Yun's mansion with a full belch, Sanfei immediately brought hawthorn water for digestion.

After Li Hong gulped and drank, he watched Cui Yao come out with a big belly, and then politely cupped his hands and said, "Dare to ask, sir, when men and women live together, is it to satisfy their own desires, or to procreate?"

Cui Yao raised her stomach and said, "What do you want to say, Your Highness?"

Li Hongdao "I secretly thought that my husband and Fei Jiu Dunlun were all for the prosperity of the descendants, not for the pleasure of human desires."

Cui Yao sneered, "Finish what you want to say together."

Li Hong nodded respectfully, then pointed to Fat Jiu who was leaning against the wall basking in the sun and said, "If it wasn't for the sake of future generations, Mister would definitely not have been with such an ugly dude for a year!"

Cui Yao said, "You came this time to vent your anger on your sister, right?"

Li Hong bowed his hands very politely and said, "Sister She was originally a lively and lovely child. She always only knew how to laugh and didn't know what pain was like. After passing through Mr.'s hands, she cried an average of three times a day. Why?"

Cui Yao sneered and said, "If she still can't recite the entire [-] chapters of "Women's Rules", she will usher in a catastrophic day of crying five times a day."

Li Hong frowned and said, "I remember that Mr. is known for being enlightened, why would you..."

Cui Yao sneered and said, "Say it, keep talking, if you have the ability, you can say the nonsense about "The Commandments for Women" written by Ban Zhao."

Li Hong let out a long sigh and said, "I don't dare, "Nv Ze" was written by Empress Wende, sir, I dare not criticize it, and neither does Hong, but I just feel that my younger sister is too miserable."

Cui Yao followed with a sigh and said, "Your little sister is far less intelligent than you, and she is not loved by her parents. The only thing that can be praised is kindness. Since these conditions are not taken into account, then she must take into account the rules. As long as she Knowing all the rules of my Great Tang, and acting in accordance with the rules, she will have a good life, otherwise, hehehe..."
