Chapter 18 Transcendence

When Dugu's grandmother heard Li Jiancheng say it was delicious, she knew that he had tasted it in the kitchen just now. She felt distressed and angry, and immediately ordered Mei Xiang:

"Go and call the cook here! You don't understand the rules!"

"Wait!" Li Jiancheng immediately called out Mei Xiang who had turned around and walked out.

Mei Xiang hesitated for a moment, stopped, turned around and looked at Li Jiancheng, and said, "What else do you have to do with Dalang?"

Li Jiancheng replied with a smile: "You don't have to go now, I have a few words to say to my grandmother."

The old man is a stingy, the old ghost is a slippery, and the lonely grandmother can hear the inside story from this and guessed that the cook must have persuaded him, but Li Jiancheng insisted on doing so.

So, she waved her hand and signaled Mei Xiang to retreat aside; instead she looked at Li Jiancheng, frowned and said, "Tell me."

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "Grandma, it's not about the cook's business..." He roughly said what happened in the kitchen: "I just thought about it after eating a bite of the ginger."

Dugu Grandmother snorted coldly and said, "I guess it was your idea, they didn't have the courage to instigate you yet." She turned to look at Mei Xiang and said, "Pour this dish."

Li Jiancheng immediately raised his hand to protect the plate of cabbage and said, "Grandma, don't do it, I finally made it."

"The eldest son of the dignified Duke's Mansion eats raw vegetables, which is unconventional, and it will make people laugh when it is spread out!" Dugu's grandmother looked at Li Jiancheng's food protection and persuaded helplessly.

If a person likes someone, even if the other party does something unforgivable, he can help find a reason to do something evil.

This is true for Dugu’s grandmother. She really likes Li Jiancheng, so in her opinion, his behavior of protecting food is to cherish food.

Li Jiancheng's IQ is close to the demon, and after thinking about it, he guessed the reason why the Dugu grandmother's anger faded.

He felt even more at ease, so he retorted: "The phoenix fetus, the stewed stew of Ding Zixiang, the five-sen plate and other things are all raw?! That's the dishes of the palace banquet."

To put it bluntly, these dishes that sound extremely high-quality and make people confused are just that.

Phoenix fetus is actually a egg that has not been born from the hen's belly, and it is mixed with fish white (pancreas) or jack sauce (mixed with lamb and fish). The taste is really "金xiān" out of the sky.

Just thinking about it, Li Jiancheng felt his stomach churning and couldn't bear to look at it.

Dingzixiang stew is a sashimi or raw meat slices with clove oil; this dish is very popular, and the popular idiom is enough to prove it.

But a thousand years later, the sashimi (sashimi) went to Japan, roasted (barbecue) and South Korea, and the population was only left in China.

The last Wusheng plate is to cut the mutton, pork, beef, bear meat, and venison into thin strips, and then spell it into flowers. (Later, it gradually developed into frying or stir-frying before cutting.)

Because cattle are the main labor force for arable land, its lofty status has been determined since the Western Zhou Dynasty. At that time, there was a regulation that the princes would not kill cattle for no reason, so they wanted to eat this dish and I had to give it to the emperor.

After Li Jiancheng said this, Dugu's grandmother was speechless for a while. After several breaths, she came up with a powerless saying: "That can be the same!"

Seeing that Dugu's grandmother was like this, Li Jiancheng knew that the other party's intention had already taken some action, so he immediately continued: "What's the difference? Why can meat be eaten raw, but vegetables are not good! I saw that the great-grandfather's letter said that he had eaten raw wild vegetables and leaves, etc."

He lifted Li Hu out, and no matter how unwilling the grandmother Dugu was, she could not say much; after all, it was her father-in-law and she was not easy to comment.

However, Dugu's grandmother said, "That wasn't there anything we could do when we were in war." Dugu's grandmother also ate raw dishes when she was a child. At that time, she was curious and wanted to know what the raw dishes tasted.

Later, when I got older, I gradually began to live in the form of aristocratic people. In fact, I was mainly afraid that others would be told - you see, that country bumpkin, eating raw vegetables!

Because of this experience, Dugu's grandmother knew that eating lettuce was not a big problem. After Li Jiancheng made some reason and presented evidence, she sighed and said, "Forget it, eat it if you want, but you can only eat it here!" She turned to look at Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang, and said with a stern face:

"Go and tell the cook that the story of Dalang's raw food is not allowed to be spread. The same is true for you. If I hear any rumors, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between the master and the servant." I am afraid that it will cause adverse effects on Li Jiancheng if it spreads out.

Meixiang and Lanxiang looked at each other and after both promised, Meixiang turned around and went out to pass the message.

Li Jiancheng didn't care. He listened to the cicadas and did not grow crops? However, he also understood the principle of making money by talking about the crowd. Before becoming a powerful figure, he should still be cautious.

Not to mention anything else, eating raw vegetables is a beautiful story when it comes to a generation of famous officials, great scholars or wise kings. Not only will anyone say you are a rustic person, but you will also think that this person is particularly friendly and down-to-earth.

After a flash of thought, Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "I know grandma, you are the most enlightened and open-minded."

Dugu grandmother shook her head helplessly and laughed: "You..."

Without waiting for Dugu’s grandmother to finish her words, Li Jiancheng quickly began to serve a bowl of lotus leaf soup and put it in front of her. At the same time, he smiled and said, “Grandma, eat it quickly, otherwise it will be cold in a while.”

Dugu Grandmother said with a tiger face: "It's not your dish of cabbage. If you couldn't say so many words, you would have eaten it long ago."

Li Jiancheng nodded repeatedly and said hatefully: "Yes, yes, it's all this recipe for mixing cabbage. I'll eat it in my stomach and let it disappear from this world."

The old child, the little child, Dugu grandmother was coaxed by Li Jiancheng as a child, spat and laughed and scolded: "Nonsense." Then, she said: "Okay, let's have a meal."

Since Dugu’s grandmother always compares with the two deceased queen sisters, she naturally follows the rules of not saying anything and not saying anything when eating.

The meal was extremely quiet, but occasionally the sound of a spoon touching a bowl and a plate was heard.

Li Jiancheng grew up with his aunt, who is an old-fashioned person, and he usually eats.

Only when everyone gathers or celebrates, they will say a few words at the dinner. However, they have never had the habit of talking with food. Even if they talk at the dinner, they must swallow the food in their mouth before saying it...

The same is true for Dugu Grandmother.

Therefore, eating so quietly made Li Jian feel more intimate.

After dinner, Li Jiancheng saw Dugu's grandmother appearing tired, so he watched Lanxiang lie down while serving her.

It’s not that he thought he was noble and did not serve Dugu’s grandmother himself, but that when he got it, Lan Xiang’s face became bad, which was robbing someone else’s job.

After Dugu's grandmother lay down, she tucked her quilt with her own hands; then she turned around and left.

In his previous life, when he was sleeping, his aunt always helped him tuck his quilt; but when he grew up and knew how to tuck his quilt, she was no longer here.

The regret of the son's desire to support him but his parents are not waiting for him has always lingered in his heart.

That's how he just tucked a quilt for Dugu's grandmother, it was a kind of empathy. (To be continued)
