Great Tang Idyll - Chapter 901

[Chapter 525 The rain is frying outside the window]

Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Five The rain is outside the window.

Li Bai is confused and comes to the room on the third floor. There is moisture in the room, but it is stronger than the pouring rain outside. There is a mat on the couch and a pillow next to it. and a blanket.

“Guest officer, lie down first, and the ginger syrup will be delivered right away.” The man helped Li Bai to lie down and ran out swiftly, not long after he came in again, he had an extra charcoal brazier in his hand, and opened the window farthest from the couch. Half a fan, to prevent Li Bai from being poisoned, another guy also came over with ginger soup.

Li Bai felt that he was cold, wrapped a blanket and thanked him. He picked up the bowl and drank it with a sigh of relief. Half the bowl of Hongtang water was poured into his stomach. Li Bai finally felt more comfortable, and said to the guy who looked over with concern: ” Thank you, cook a dish for me, make it salty and have more meat, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive without nutrition.” The

man looked embarrassed and said, “Guest officer, it’s okay to make it salty, the meat… no, if you come earlier You can still eat the last bit of time, or you can wait for tomorrow, tomorrow the yamen will give the meat to our shop, and then we will have it.”

“Oh, the meat is also monopolized, well, if this official does not die this time, someone will die. “I don’t have any meat, do you have water? Bring a pot of water.”

Li Bai gritted his teeth and said, suddenly remembering that he still had something that Brother Moji gave when he broke up, and just brought it to eat.

There is no shortage of water, so the guy ran out and came in with a pot of water after a while.

At this time, Li Bai had already taken out the aluminum foil package from his arms. Under the watchful eyes of the two men, he carefully tore a hole open, and while holding it, let the men pour water into it. When it was full, squeeze it and put the other A mouth was also torn open, and the little thing that made the soup was put in, and the water was also poured.

The two guys had never seen this thing before. Considering that the inn was not busy at the moment, they were not in a hurry to leave, and waited curiously with Li Bai.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Li Bai was already hot when he touched the package again. He was blowing, and followed the instructions on the package to open the entire package.

The smell of diced spicy pork fills the room immediately.

“Xiang” The two guys couldn’t help but speak out at the same time, their eyes widened, trying to see what was going on.

In the open package, there are not only diced spicy meat, but also crystal grains of rice like white jade stretching out in a seductive figure.

Li Bai took a deep breath on his breathless nose, stared at the food for a few breaths, and muttered: “Mummy, didn’t you say that the peppers have just been tested, and there is no more to eat? It’s not the speciality of the northern Hebei Province. The

milled

rice is still in the breeding period, can’t I bring out too much for people to eat? It

all went to the box lunch of Zhang Wang’s house.

There is such a good thing, wait until you go back and find a way to get some.”

“Guest, guest officer, what are you eating… what is this? It’s really fragrant, this red one, and rice, why haven’t you seen the little one?” He couldn’t help but ask aloud, his nose twitching in disbelief.

Li Bai continued to tear the packaging to find chopsticks, and said, “I haven’t seen it before, have you seen the can before it came out? Do you know how it came out? His mother was the Zhang Wang family who prepared it for the inner courtyard when they went outside. Come on, let me tell you, the red one is chili peppers, and the rice that looks like jade is the extra-polished rice from the Bohai Road. After a few years, you may be able to eat it. Usually, the official can’t eat it in the capital. .”

While talking, Li Bai had already found the chopsticks, dug it out, and found a small piece of fermented bean curd, and was looking for mustard, while the two guys were swallowing their saliva, watching and smelling.

“Huh?” Li Bai, who was rummaging through the mustard, was stunned for a moment. Then he pulled out a small package from a large package, stared at the small characters on it and read “White tablets to relieve pain, ** to reduce fever, powder to stop bleeding, one tablet at a time. , twice a day, if conditions permit, go to the medical center, take care.”

“There is still medicine.” Li Bai happily tore open the small package, which contained five white and yellow tablets, and there was a smaller package inside, pinch one Pinch, know it’s powder.

“Guest officer, er, sir, is this medicine?” The man asked curiously, who could not read.

“Well, you can eat it with soup. As long as it’s not a serious illness, you won’t be able to die in a while.” Li Bai happily held a yellow tablet in his hand and laughed.

The guy also laughed, “Sir, you always say it’s good to be an official, and you can still carry such good things with you when you go out. There are vegetables, meals and medicine, hehe.”

“Go get a small plate, I can’t eat it alone, so I’ll try it all, it’s enough.” Li Bai was happy when he saw the medicine, and generously invited two guys.

One guy hesitated, the other guy had already run out to get the plate.

When the plate was brought, Li Bai took out a quarter of each of the rice and diced spicy pork, and kept half of it for himself.

When the two guys were eating rice, they carefully chewed one grain at a time, and when they were eating diced meat, they also chewed slowly. It was so spicy that they were sweating profusely, but they refused to spit it out. Li Bai also ate a whole body of sweat, which was more than ginger syrup. effect is even greater.

“Sir, what grade do you have to eat your food?” A guy ate one-third of the food in front of him, stopped and asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Li Bai took another sip of the soup, gasped for two breaths, smiled, and said, “The saint can eat it today, and it must taste better than what we eat.” The

two guys choked on Li Bai’s words and didn’t dare to speak , the Holy One is not something they can discuss.

“There is also Gao Lishi, the chief executive, who can also eat it. He wants to eat it at any time, and someone cooks it at any time. Zhang Zhong, Minister of Industry, can eat it, and he doesn’t need to ask for it himself. There are only three of them who can eat it. Oh, and there are a few old men who have made official careers who can have this blessing.

What about the rest of the people? Don’t think about it, they can get a part of it, and if they eat it, it will be gone this year, unless they ask the saint to ask for it.”

Li Bai didn’t need anyone to ask, and then said what he understood, he was confused, no matter what the face Who is the person, the identity is forgotten.

After listening to Li Bai’s words, the two men neatly opened their mouths and widened their eyes. They were a little scared and a little excited, as if they were involved in a secret operation.

A man was attracted by the taste of diced spicy pork, stood up cautiously, and asked nervously: “That lord, you…you are…”

“I’m not that high-grade, this thing is from Sanshui County. Zhang Wang’s two inner courtyards eat, do you understand?” Li Bai knew that the man had misunderstood and explained it.

“Understood, I understand, we understand the Zhang and Wang families in Sanshui County, sir, are you helping them?” The man nodded again and again and looked at Li Bai enviously. Very honorable.

Li Bai was a little depressed. When he said that he was an official just now, the man was not envious. He said that he was working for the Zhang and Wang family. What could he be envious of?

There are many people who work for the Zhang Wang family.

Li Bai wanted to deny that he was sent by the emperor, but thought again that he was indeed following Zhang Xiaobao’s path, even though he is now in the Ministry of Household, anyone with a certain status knows where he belongs. On the one hand, it is impossible to admit it or not.

Li Bai nodded, as if he had acknowledged the man’s statement.

The guy immediately became cautious and gave the other guy a wink. The guy stood at the door with a ‘bass’, and didn’t close the door, sticking his head out to look at the wind.

The guy standing in front of Li Bai first ran to the window, closed the window, and then came back and whispered to Li Bai: “You hurry up and contact Zhang Xiaobao, and say that something big has happened in Hongnong County.”

“What’s the big deal?” Li Bai heart also followed.

“The boss’s big deal, let me tell you, that’s it…” The guy muttered to Li Bai.

The fog is thick, the smoke rises from the windows, and the water on the eaves of the pavilions ding dong.

Cistanche cistanche, tumbling oil red, beef and sheep fat and thin rolls are stacked.

The rain is hazy, the eyes are hazy.

“Master Wang, it’s been a long journey, try it, and taste the taste of this lamb that was shipped from the north.” In the Yamendang, Hongnong County, in a pavilion near the water, the county magistrate Yan Zheng sat eagerly on Wang Wei’s face. Bottom left, pick up a piece of fat and thin meat with chopsticks and put it in the mandarin duck pot, and persuade to eat it with a smile.

Wang Wei had already changed his clothes and took a shower. At this time, he looked at the hot pot in front of him. He didn’t know what was in the clear soup, but he knew that he must have used a lot of things. Hanging out of the clear soup.

On the other side is the spicy one, with cistanche swirling in it, the whip of some kind of animal, either a tiger or a deer, ginseng whiskers, peppers, and other things I don’t know.

Looking at the food on the table, beef and mutton are all available, and they are all fat and thin marble patterns, half-foot-long prawns are struggling in the water basin, and the plate-sized river crab is still waving its big claws. Know what species of shellfish spit open and close in shallow water boxes.

There are also fungus, red mushrooms, mushrooms, and other things that he can’t name, filling the table in front of him, and also occupying a table next to him that is dedicated to placing ingredients.

Feeling the ivory chopsticks, the jade-carved dishes, and the eight crabs made of gold inlaid with emeralds, Wang Wei didn’t know how to speak for a while.

If these things are seen in the palace, Wang Wei will not think so. If they are seen in Zhang Xiaobao’s house, Wang Wei also thinks that they are normal, and even better than the ones in front of them, that’s all right.

But this thing appeared on the table of the county magistrate in a county. Which aristocratic family are you Yan Zhengyan?

Which big businessman’s son-in-law?

How come never heard of it?

How much is your annual salary?

Where did your county magistrate get the chili peppers?

“Lord Wang…Lord Wang?” The county magistrate called Wang Wei, looking left and right, but he didn’t move his chopsticks and called out.

“Oh, oh, eat, the crabs are fat in the fall, hehe, the county magistrate is so good, this is…” Wang Wei shook his head, sobering himself from his thoughts, and pointed with chopsticks to something he had never seen before. something asked.

Yan Zheng looked at it and introduced with a smile: “Sir, is this a raw oyster? It’s delicious, slightly salty, it can be roasted, stewed, steamed or boiled, it can be eaten raw, and it can be used as medicine. It’s also called Hailizi.”

“Oh~” Wang Wei was stunned, he knew what Hailizi was when he said it, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sent a lot of people from Jili Prefecture to the capital, and almost every official got it. It’s just dry, without shells, it is said to be a special product of Jilizhou, cultivated, and worthless.

Some wild pearls can still be found in them, and they also said that before the winter this year, a batch of fresh ones will be brought back and processed, so that officials in Beijing can taste the taste of raw oysters.

Thinking like this, Wang Wei took out an oyster from a shell, and threw it on the spicy side and rubbed it lightly. After a while, he felt that it was almost cooked, so he picked it up and imported it. It was fresh, really fresh, there was a special It’s fresh, it’s like… like Zhang Xiaobao’s bottle in spring… the smell of oyster sauce?

It’s just that the oyster sauce lacks the softness and tenderness of the raw oysters. It seems that Zhang Xiaobao’s food is really good. He may be able to eat fresh ones when he goes back. It would be much more comfortable to eat then. The cuckoo’s is called the big family, who eats the solemn ones in front of him, and eats the people’s fat and the people’s paste.

How could Yan Zheng know what Wang Wei was thinking, he thought Wang Wei was stunned by the smell of raw oysters, he also took one, dipped it directly in the soy sauce on the plate, ate it raw, narrowed his eyes, and asked, “Lord Wang, how are you? ”

Dashan!” Wang Wei praised, watching Yan Zheng eat raw, remembering Zhang Xiaobao mentioned something that would happen if he didn’t pay attention to raw food, and slandered ‘eat you to death’.

“Master Wang, try the crab again. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com” Yan Zheng directly stretched out his hand and broke off a crab claw that was tied to the front tongs, and took out the juicy crab, which looked translucent After a while, it turned completely white. Then he took it out and put it in his mouth. He said, “This is the autumn hairy crab, and each one weighs a pound.”

Wang Wei nodded, but he was clipping it. The meat roll was cut. At this time, the meat roll had loosened, and the thin meat was piled on the plate. Come out, slightly dip some chive flowers, eat imported, tender and fresh.

“Good meat, good meat is really fresh, bloody and fresh, the rain gurgling outside the pavilion, this scene is rare, Mr. Yan invited this official to eat here, with a good mood, raised the knife and cut the meat and boiled it for frying, the red and white lines were fresh. The sheep babbled on the pagoda, and the dark clouds formed a curtain of rain.”

Wang Wei bit a piece of chili peel in his mouth, and bright red water dripped down the corner of his mouth.

Yan Zheng felt awkward when he listened to Wang Wei’s poems.

Looking at Wang Wei again, he was frightened and said nervously: “Master, Master Wang, why are you crying? Your mouth is broken?”

“No, I didn’t cry, it’s spicy, it’s really cool, I accidentally rubbed my lips when I was eating chili. It’s broken, come, eat,” Wang Wei said, licking his mouth.
