The woman in white clapped her hands, looked at the figures lying on the ground at the end of the alley, and said disdainfully: "I want to go to Hongxiu Pavilion, not Lichun Courtyard. Even this girl dares to lie to me, and I am getting impatient!"
A middle-aged woman knelt in front of her, kowtowed and said in a trembling voice: "Woman, please forgive me, Woman, please forgive me!"
"Next time, don't let me see this!" The woman looked at them, turned around and left.
Tangning was woken up by the knocking on the door outside in the morning.
It's not a knock on the door, it's a knock on the door. The knocks are frequent and intensive, which makes the noisy person annoying.
Xiao Jue would not knock on the door like this, nor would Li Tianlan, and Su Mei would not knock on the door like this. No one in Hongxiu Pavilion would knock on the door like this.
He got dressed and got up. He opened the door with sleepy eyes and saw the Forbidden Army general named Ling Yun standing in front of the door.
Tangning covered her mouth and yawned, then asked, "Is something wrong?"
"The sun is shining on your butt, why don't you get up!" The young man's unique voice reached Tang Ning's ears.
He looked down and found Run Wang Zhao Yuan standing next to Ling Yun, looking at him with a naive smile.
Ling Yun looked at him and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Run would like to personally thank you for saving Concubine Shu. His Majesty ordered me to bring him here."
Tang Ning looked at King Run and thought to herself, hadn't he already thanked him last time? He still hadn't finished the big bag of snacks.
He couldn't stop others from thanking him. Tangning walked back to the room to wash up. King Run followed him and asked, "What is the assorted pot you mentioned last time?"
Speaking of assorted pots, Tang Ning suddenly felt hungry. While brushing her teeth with a willow branch dipped in green salt, she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of mouthwash. It was extremely salty, so she hurriedly grabbed the teapot on the table and drank it hard.
There are many types of assorted pots. Fang Xiaopang’s previous favorite was to use a casserole to stew all the dishes together, then add various seasonings, and then serve with a bowl... and several bowls of fragrant rice. Tang Yaojing also
I like to eat like this.
Thinking of this, Tang Ning missed Fang Xiaopang a little, Miss Tang Yaoying a little, and she was also a little hungry.
She went to bed very late yesterday and woke up very late today. It was almost time for lunch. Tangning thought for a while, looked at King Run and said, "Wait a minute."
He went downstairs to the back kitchen, where two cooks were preparing lunch. When they saw him walking in, they immediately said, "I've seen the young master."
Tangning looked around and asked, "Is there a clean casserole?"
For his own lifelong happiness, Xiao Jue would bring in a lot of good wine every few days to honor the old beggar. Tang Ning would occasionally steam wine for the old beggar here, and he was already very familiar with the two cooks.
A cook took a casserole and asked, "Sir, will this work?"
Tangning nodded and said, "Okay."
The cook cleaned the casserole again and asked, "Master, do you need our help?"
Tangning waved her hand and said, "You are busy with your business, don't worry about me."
When Zhao Yuan saw him starting to wash the vegetables, he knew what he was going to do and followed him, running around.
Ling Yun stood at the door, watching King Run running back and forth, handing out dishes and washing them. He opened his lips, and then closed his mouth when he saw the happy look on his face.
There are a lot of dishes in the kitchen. There are not many seasonal vegetables in this season. Most of them are shipped from other places and are not very fresh. But that is to say, Hongxiu Pavilion has a special transportation channel. After Hongxiu Pavilion, most of the vegetables in the capital are
Rich and powerful families may not even have these stale vegetables.
There was always stock in the kitchen, so Tang Ning used it conveniently. The stew made the stock even more delicious.
Strictly speaking, what he makes is not an assorted pot, it can only be regarded as a casserole. However, Tangning has never seen this method in any restaurant. The royal cuisine in the palace is mainly exquisite, and I am afraid that no royal chef would dare to make such a dish.
Pile things into a stew and then serve them.
There was no natural gas, so it only relied on firewood, which would take longer to cook. Tang Ning asked a cook to watch for him and walked out of the kitchen.
When he returned to the room, Li Tianlan was already waiting in his room.
Li Tianlan looked at him and said, "I've heard everything about last night."
Tangning looked at Ling Yun who was standing at the door and King Run who kept swallowing his saliva, and said, "I'll explain it to you slowly later."
Li Tianlan nodded, tilted his head, and changed the subject: "I just saw a few of your new policy papers, and there is one point that needs to be discussed again."
Tangning walked over and asked, "Where?"
He and Li Tianlan often had disagreements about some methods and concepts of governing the country. Most of the time, he persuaded her. Of course, there were also times when Tangning was persuaded by her.
Miss Li's reputation as the number one scholar is truly worthy of her reputation. She quotes from many sources and has endless allusions. Even Tang Ning was surprised by her erudition. After all, she is not like herself. She remembers everything she has read in her mind, bit by bit.
Accumulated.
Li Tianlan picked up one of his policies and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies. This sentence comes from Laozi. There have been many schools of thought in ancient times. They have different understandings of this sentence, but most of them agree. What Laozi means is that running a country should be like cooking small delicacies."
Cooking with the same care, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar are indispensable, no more or less. Pay attention to both seasonings and heat...,"
She looked at Tang Ning and continued: "If you cook the fish, the trouble will break into pieces; if you treat the people, the trouble will break up; if you know how to cook the fish, you will know how to govern the people..." This view of yours is indeed unique, and it makes perfect sense if you think about it carefully, but
It’s just your guess that has not been accepted and recognized by everyone, so there may be some errors.”
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "Ruling a big country is like cooking small delicacies. If you want to understand this sentence of Lao Tzu, you must first understand how the ancients cooked delicacies in the era when I lived."
This sentence of Lao Tzu has been the subject of controversy since ancient times, and there are different opinions. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that some scholars gave an explanation that was accepted by most people after conducting textual research.
Tang Ning continued: "Xianxian is a small fish. The ancients cooked small fish without removing the scales or intestines. After putting it in the pot, they were most afraid of stirring it frequently for fear of breaking the small fish... In fact, when cooking big fish
The same is true, if you turn it frequently, the fish will fall apart. From this, "Governing a big country is like cooking small fish" can be extended to mean that cooking small fish should not be disturbed, and running a big country should not be troublesome. If trouble is caused, people will work hard, and if trouble is caused, the fish will collapse."
When Li Tianlan heard this, he did not speak, but fell into thinking.
King Run Zhao Yuan's eyes brightened, he looked at Tang Ning and asked quickly: "Where are the small fish to eat? Can you let me try them?"
King Run didn't get the fish. Tang Ning told him that the assorted casserole was almost ready, so he ran down and waited.
Tang Ning closed the door to prevent him from disturbing Li Tianlan.
She had always been extremely serious about these matters. Fortunately, Tang Ning had written a special report on the Tao Te Ching before and had done in-depth research on this issue. If she wanted, he could chat with her for three days and three nights without rest.
Tang Ning poured her a cup of tea, then sat quietly aside, waiting for her to figure it out.
Squeak!
A faint sound reached his ears, the window of his room was opened, and Su Mei jumped in from the outside.
She looked a little tired, with dark circles under her eyes, and said, "I'm going to take a nap first. Call me after dinner."
Li Tianlan turned around and looked at Su Mei.
Su Mei was already lying on the bed when she noticed a figure in the room, looking into Li Tianlan's eyes.
There was a knock on the door. Tangning had no time to pay attention to King Run. She opened the door a crack, intending to tell him that the assorted casserole was ready to eat and send him away directly.
He opened the door a crack and saw a very familiar face. He had even dreamed about this beautiful face in his dream last night.
He closed the door again and shook his head. He must have missed Tang Fairy so much that he even had hallucinations...
Tang Yaojing was clearly in Lingzhou, so how could she appear in the capital and Hongxiu Pavilion with a sword in her hand...
He reached out and touched the cold sweat on his forehead.
boom!
The door latch snapped due to the huge force coming from outside.
