Chapter 819 I want to eat hairy crabs

"Yang Tong, I remember you, you are still the magistrate of Yangzhou." Li Er said with a smile.

Yang Tong said somewhat flattered: "Your Majesty still remembers Wei Chen. Wei Chen is deeply honored."

"Okay, everyone, get up and go to the palace."

"yes."

Everyone quickly arrived at the palace. The so-called palace was the Jiangdu Palace where Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty lived.

In the third year of Daye, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty renamed Yangzhou Jiangdu, so it was named Jiangdu Palace.

In the fifth year of Daye, Yang Guang ordered Yang Su to build a large-scale Jiangdu Palace in advance, including the extremely luxurious and prestigious Milou, located in the south of the palace city.

Because there are thousands of households, continuous roads, secluded rooms and elegant rooms, and the winding houses are connected by themselves, it was named "Milou".

After Yang Guang moved in, he admired the lost building very much and boasted: "This building has twists and turns and is confusing. Not only do people from the world come here, but Shen Ming doesn't know it. Even if real immortals come to visit, they will also be lost." The scale can be imagined.

In addition, ten palaces of the Sui Dynasty were built around Jiangdu Palace and named: "Guiyan Palace, Huiliu Palace, Jiuli Palace, Pine Forest Palace, Fenglin Palace, Da Lei Palace, Xiao Lei Palace, Spring Cao Palace, Jiuhua Palace, and Guangfen Palace"

.

From the Jiangdu Palace and the Tenth Palace of the Sui Dynasty, we can see how much of a tyrant Yang Guang was, a debauched and tyrannical tyrant.

After the opening of the Grand Canal, Yang Guang even issued an edict to promote Jiangdu to the companion capital of the Sui Dynasty, and called on wealthy businessmen from all over the world to move to Jiangdu. During the governance of Jiangdu Palace, he received the visiting princes of the Red Tu Kingdom, as well as Linyi and Japanese who arrived by sea.

, envoys from Baekje and other countries.

In fact, Yang Guangcheng also lost Yangzhou, and Yangzhou lost.

He believed that Yangzhou was the place where he started, the land of Longxing. Yang Guang valued Yangzhou so much that he offended the northern aristocratic families, not to mention that all his soldiers were from the north.

They wanted to conquer the lost territory, but Yang Guang had no such intention, so his men rebelled and were eventually strangled to death in Yangzhou Palace and Jiangdu Palace by his own people.

What an irony this is. A person who was not supposed to die was killed by his loyal men just because he had been staying in Yangzhou. There is nothing more ironic than this.

The road to Jiangdu Palace was familiar to Li Er. Li Yuan once brought Li Er and Li Yuanba to Jiangdu to meet Yang Guang.

At that time, Li Yuanba and Yuwen Chengdu had a competition. In the end, Yuwen Chengdu lost to Li Yuanba. Yang Guang also named Li Yuanba the general.

When he came to Jiangdu Palace again, Li Er lamented that his identity had changed. He was not a person who stood in the audience to worship others, but a person who stood at the top and was worshiped by others.

He is now the master of Jiangdu Palace.

"Your Majesty." Cheng Yaojin interrupted Li Er's thoughts.

Li Er rolled his eyes at him and said, "What's the matter?"

Cheng Yaojin smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late. I'm a little hungry. Could you please have someone prepare a dinner?"

Li Er nodded and said: "It's getting late. Come and let someone prepare the dinner."

"Yes." Yang Tong responded.

Yang Tong was the magistrate of Yangzhou, and he was responsible for the daily management of the palace. Because when Li Er first ascended the throne, finances were tight, so the staff of the palaces in various places were opened, and the local officials were responsible for daily management.

This saved Li Er a lot of expenses.

When Yang Tong turned around and left, Li Feng said, "Wait a minute."

"Li Feng, what are you doing?" Cheng Yaojin asked in confusion.

Li Er, Li Xiaogong and Yang Tong all looked at Li Feng in unison.

Li Feng explained with a smile: "When you come to Yangzhou, how can you not try Yangzhou's specialties?"

Yang Tong immediately smiled and said: "What does Marquis Lantian want to eat? The three of you will prepare it."

Li Feng said with a smile: "Just a portion of Gaoyou Lake hairy crabs, brown candies, and three-ton buns, that's all.

By the way, catch more hairy crabs in Gaoyou Lake and prepare more brown candies. We will take these away tomorrow."

Yang Tong was immediately in a dilemma, and he said: "Lantianhou, I can prepare brown sugar and three-ton buns, but I have never heard of what this hairy crab is."

Li Feng immediately understood that they had never eaten crabs before and even thought crabs were monsters.

Li Feng suddenly smiled and said: "So you don't know. It doesn't matter. Just wait for me."

Immediately, he drew the appearance of the crab on the paper and said: "Send someone to catch it. You can't let them catch it in vain. Here is one hundred strings of money. You can give it to those who catch crabs."

"I dare not ask for it. It is an honor for me to serve your Majesty and the Marquis of Lantian." Yang Tong immediately refused.

Li Erdao: "Take it as long as you want. I am not Yang Guang, who levies and extorts money."

Yang Tong could only accept ten ten-guan banknotes. Now such banknotes have become popular throughout the Tang Dynasty.

Not only was it popular in the Tang Dynasty, but also some Hu merchants were using it because there were not enough banks opened, so banknotes, copper coins, gold and silver were all used.

Cheng Yaojin, who was rubbing his belly, said with some dissatisfaction: "Li Feng, when they catch us, we will all starve to death."

Li Feng smiled and said: "If you are hungry, you can ask them to make food now. I didn't make you wait."

"Come here, please bring some wine and food first." Li Er said, he didn't want to wait.

Someone immediately ordered the kitchen to cook, and soon a table full of dishes was ready.

Li Xiaogong walked up to Li Feng and asked, "Is your hairy crab really so delicious?"

"Of course, but hairy crabs in autumn are more delicious. But it doesn't matter, it's only two months away, and the taste won't be much worse." After Li Feng finished speaking, he couldn't help but lick his lips.

Seeing Li Feng's expression, Li Er also looked forward to the hairy crabs, but he didn't want to eat the delicacies in the kitchen.

Cheng Yaojin didn't care. He was hungry and started eating before Li Er could open his mouth.

Two hours later, the hairy crabs arrived, weighing about thirty kilograms.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Lantian, the hairy crabs have arrived. In order to allow Your Majesty and Marquis Lantian to eat hairy crabs as soon as possible, I sent some over first. The rest will arrive later," Yang Tong said.

Li Er nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work. Li Feng, go and do the cooking."

"It doesn't have to be too much trouble. Just steam it directly after washing it."

Half an hour later, thirty pounds of hairy crabs were placed on the table, and the secret seasoning was taken out.

Li Feng said: "Father-in-law, Lao Cheng, Lao Xiao, steamed hairy crabs are ready to eat."

Li Er and three others looked at Li Feng, but none of them moved their chopsticks. They all looked at Li Feng in shock.

When Li Feng saw the three of them not moving, he immediately knew that these three people didn't know how to eat hairy crabs.

So he picked up a hairy crab and said: "Father-in-law, Lao Cheng, Lao Xiao, there are many ways to eat hairy crabs, and the way I eat them now is the most common and the most common way for people to eat them. First, we open the lid of the crab.

, it’s all filled with crab roe.”
