So far, there are only three people in the Tang Dynasty who can be called kings, namely - Emperor Li Zhi, Queen Wu Mei, and Prince Li Hong.
These three people are the real masters of the huge empire of the Tang Dynasty.
As long as Li Hong confirms that the first two are in the palace, he can go out.
Regarding Chang'anfang City, Li Hong only likes to go to Jinchangfang.
Only in Jinchangfang did he feel that he didn't have to pretend to be various characters.
During this period before the Chinese New Year, Jinchangfang is actually closed, and no one from outside can enter.
Because during this period of time, Jinchangfang is a huge workshop. The people in the city have to prepare a huge amount of goods that are enough to be sold until the first day of the 15th day in these fifteen days. Therefore, there is no time, and
There is no staff to entertain outsiders.
In addition, during this period, the Jinchangfang cafeteria only prepares food, ranging from various meats to various pastries. Most of the food is placed under the open air waiting to be frozen before being packaged. What if something happens?
If someone comes in with bad intentions, it will be terrible.
Yunchu ordered Li Hong to take a special carriage when he went out. Li Hong carried out this very well. Moreover, there were two carriages for each trip. Li Hong got into the carriage at will every time. Therefore, the enemy wanted to
It is still difficult to attack Li Hong.
The 120-kilogram iron cone thrown by Bolangsha Li smashed the First Emperor's auxiliary car, which always frightened the emperors. Li Hong felt that he was delicate and expensive, so it was better to listen to his master's words.
However, after the carriage entered Jinchangfang, Li Hong got out of the carriage, and only two personal guards could follow him.
At this time, Jinchangfang has been completely covered by the strong aroma of cooking meat. Tens of thousands of kilograms of meat are cooked here every day. After the meat is mixed with spices, the aroma is overflowing. Many people say that in Jin
Changfang only needs to eat and does not need to cook, because the smell of meat is enough to go with the meal.
When passing by the door of a family, he smelled the strong smell of steamed cakes. Li Hong opened the door and walked in. He happened to see the woman and the man carrying a large pot and pouring it into a huge wooden basin. The steamed cake had just been steamed.
of rice cakes.
Because the dates and candied raisins are at the bottom, the steamed rice cake can only be put upside down in a wooden basin so that the steamed and pulpy candied dates at the bottom can be exposed on top. This way it will look good.
The man in charge didn't say anything when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince coming in. He took the cleaned lotus leaf from the side, dug out a piece of steamer cake with a wooden shovel, placed it on the lotus leaf and handed it directly to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Li Hong took out a silver spoon from his pocket, took a bite, and frowned and said to the man in charge: "There are too few dates and too many raisins. Raisins are cheap this year. You can't fool everyone. What's the matter?"
Too much steamer cake will not make it sweet.”
The man in charge of the household took out a black pottery jar, opened it carefully, scooped out a spoonful of beeswax, placed it on the steamer cake in His Highness's hand, and gave His Highness a sly smile.
Li Hong dug out another piece of steamed cake with bee sugar and ate it, then said: "That's right, huh? It's not right. It's made of bee sugar, raisins and candied fruits. How much do you plan to sell it for?"
The man in charge held out two fingers in an obscene manner. Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince looked stunned, he tremblingly held out three fingers.
Li Hong jumped on his feet and said: "You are a black-hearted person, and you actually bought three cents more than in previous years."
The head woman chuckled and said: "Your Highness, our head said it was three times..."
Li Hong cursed and left the shady rice cake seller's house. He cursed them, but they refused to lower the price. The woman in charge even tricked the Crown Prince out of the door, and then quickly closed the door. This year's new development came out.
The sweet and sour rice cakes cost three times the price.
So familiar...that these unscrupulous people forgot how majestic the Tang Prince was.
However, the sweet and sour steamed cake tastes better than the steamed steamed cake made from pure dates. After the steamed steamed cake made from pure dates is cooled, it always smells like shit...
Li Hong finished the sweet and sour rice cake in two mouthfuls, wiped the silver spoon with a lotus leaf and put it in his pocket, then threw the lotus leaf into the trash can on the roadside.
The personal guards who follow His Highness the Crown Prince don't care at all about the Crown Prince being tricked out of the house. As long as the family doesn't harm the Crown Prince, they will ignore it as usual, because if they do, the Crown Prince will get angry.
Passing by a steamed chestnut cake shop, His Royal Highness went in again and came out with another lotus leaf in his hand. On the lotus leaf was a piece of chestnut cake with a lot of wolfberry added.
This kind of chestnut cake is called Sun Shenxian Chestnut Cake, because Sun Shenxian said that chestnuts are sweet in taste and warm in nature. They enter the spleen, stomach, and kidney meridians. They can nourish the stomach and strengthen the spleen, strengthen yang and kidneys, promote blood circulation and stop bleeding. It is a good thing, whether you have money or not.
Rich men should eat more.
Sun Shenxian said that eating more chestnuts can aphrodisiac, and this chestnut cake maker thought that they should single out this benefit. Not only did they talk about it, but they also added wolfberry to it to double the aphrodisiac effect, which is worthy of the name Sun Shenxian Chestnut Cake.
head.
In fact, if wolfberry is added to chestnuts, the taste is not as good as pure chestnut cake. However, after adding wolfberry, the price of a piece of chestnut cake of the same size can be doubled.
"My heart is dark, my heart is dark."
His Royal Highness the Prince was cursing while eating chestnut cake. He was soon attracted by the sound of a woman yelling and cursing from the other side of the polo field. He turned around and immediately smiled.
There were two tough female polo players who were tearing apart on the polo field. Their hair, which was originally tightly wrapped in a burpa, was now torn into a mess.
The originally slim-fitting polo riding clothes were also torn loose and they just refused to stop, still trying to tear each other's clothes apart, as if they would not stop until the private parts of each other's bodies were exposed in broad daylight.
There were many people watching the excitement, and there were seven or eight painters dedicated to the printing shop. Everyone was watching the two women on the polo field trying to tear their clothes apart, for fear that if they made a sound, they would stop tearing them apart.
.
His Royal Highness the Prince casually looked both ways, and immediately discovered that there was a wretched-looking man on the sidelines secretly giving advice to the women on the polo field.
His Royal Highness the Prince immediately understood that these bastards thought it was boring for women to play polo just by riding a horse and catching the polo balls. In order to improve the viewing experience of women's polo, such a scene could be arranged.
"Indecent!" The angry Prince immediately lost interest in watching. He stuck the sticky lotus leaves on the face of the wretched man, kicked him twice on the waist, and took the guards with him.
gone.
The guard said regretfully: "Your Highness, your clothes were torn apart after a while. You took action too early."
Li Hong rolled his eyes at the guard and said: "You can't wait even a day to see the scene you want to see. If you want to see it, you need to spend a lot of money to see it during the Lantern Festival. It's impossible today. It's just to whet your appetite."
"
The guard immediately said angrily: "You are not a son of man."
After passing under a huge leaning willow tree, Li Hong got into a small door with a strong smell of meat.
The gatekeeper didn't seem to notice, and was busy weaving bamboo baskets for the meat. These bamboo baskets were boiled in boiling water and dried before being used to hold the meat and sell it to wealthy families.
Li Hong stood in the open space with a smile and watched as the men pressed down the long pole and fished out the meat pieces contained in the woven iron mesh at the other end from the huge vat.
When the dark red marinade flows cleanly, he turns the lever and puts hundreds of kilograms of braised cooked meat on a huge basket. The man pulls out the pins under the iron mesh, and pieces of brightly colored meat fall out.
Not to mention the white steam in the basket, the smell intoxicates every meat eater.
“There’s no comparison in taste between meat cooked in a small pot and meat cooked in a big pot, especially beef.
The beef that has just been cooked is not delicious, so you have to wait for a while until the fat on the beef shrinks slightly when it is cold, then it will taste the most delicious."
Li Hong is a carnivore himself. He especially likes to eat beef. The reason why he doesn't like pork is entirely because it hurts his butt. He remembers the feeling when Master Yunchu slapped his butt with a bamboo branch when he was chewing pig knuckles.
.
He still remembered that Master Yun Chu said that you, the 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. Even though it was painful, he really never ate fatty pork after that stick.
Not wanting to let his mouth fall short, Li Hong carefully studied how to eat beef. So far, Li Hong can be called a master in how to eat beef.
"When eating beef, you should eat it in big chunks, which makes you proud. Cut it into thin slices and add other things to it. That's how poor people eat it."
As Li Hong spoke, he bit off a piece of beef from the boss and stuffed his mouth full. This gave him the rough feeling of turning into a wolf and biting the neck of a beast.
When Li Hong entered Yun's mansion burping, Sanfei immediately brought him hawthorn water for digestion.
After Li Hong took a sip, he looked at Cui Yao coming out with a big belly, and then he politely raised his hands and said: "May I ask, sir, when men and women are in love, is it to satisfy their own desires, or to reproduce for their descendants?"
Cui Yao held out her belly and said, "What does Your Highness want to say?"
Li Hongdao: "I secretly think that my husband and Fei Jiu Dunlun are all for the sake of procreating their descendants, not for the pleasure of human desire."
Cui Yao sneered and said, "Finish what you want to say."
Li Hong nodded respectfully, then pointed at Fei Jiu, who was leaning against the wall to bask in the sun, and said, "If it weren't for the sake of progeny, sir, I would never have stayed with such an ugly person for a year!"
Cui Yao said: "You came here just to vent your anger on your sister, right?"
Li Hong politely handed over his hands and said: "My roommate was originally a lively and lovely child. She only knew how to laugh and did not know pain. After being treated by my husband, she cried an average of three times a day. Why is this?"
Cui Yao sneered: "If she still can't recite all thirty chapters of "Women's Principles", she will have a catastrophic day where she will cry five times a day."
Li Hong frowned and said: "I remember that Mr. is known for his open-mindedness, why..."
Cui Yao sneered and said: "Say, keep talking, if you have the ability, you can tell the nonsense about Ban Zhao's "Female Commandments"."
Li Hong sighed and said: "I don't dare. "The Rules for Women" was written by Queen Wende. Sir, I don't dare to criticize it. Hong doesn't dare either. He just thinks that the younger sister is too miserable."
Cui Yao sighed and said: "Your little sister is far less intelligent than you, and she is not loved by her parents. The only thing she can be praised for is her kindness.
Since these conditions are not taken into account, then she must take advantage of the rules. As long as she knows all the rules of the Tang Dynasty and acts according to the rules, she will have a good life. Otherwise, hehe..."
