In front of the Shuiyue Zen Temple in the northeast of the lake, on Diaojiji, Emperor Zhu Yihai also dropped a fishing pole today, hoping to become the master of Minghu Lake one day.
Wang Sangyu came gracefully.
Riding a five-flowered horse, wearing a dark green coat and pleated skirt with a grass green horse face, closed pipa sleeves, and a brocade embroidered armor on the outside, she wears a moon goddess with a flowery appearance and a willow-shaped jade bone.
It's even more refreshing when you're on horseback.
"How many fish did your Majesty catch?"
"The harvest is not small," Zhu Yihai smiled, the buoy shook, Zhu Yihai skillfully lifted the pole, and another plump crucian carp came out.
"Your Majesty is really good at choosing a location. This fishing place is connected to the spring. Even in the coldest month of winter, when 90% of the surface of Daming Lake is frozen, it will not be frozen here. It is the best location for fishing." Wang Sangyu got off his horse and came straight.
Go before the emperor.
“The fish here are extremely fresh and tender, without any earthy smell.”
Zhu Yihai took off the palm-sized crucian carp. It was true that the scales were more beautiful and the color was more beautiful. "Stew the soup. It's almost the Chinese New Year. Drinking a cup of crucian carp soup is the most delicious. Add some shredded radish to make it even more delicious."
For Jinan, Daming Lake is equivalent to the West Lake in Hangzhou. This lake formed by the gathering of many springs in Jinan is so beautiful.
The Shuiyue Zen Temple on the lakeside has a long history. It was built during the Later Jin Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. It was built to the east of Shuimen in Jinan to worship Guanyin. The perfume in the temple is strong, and many Shandong scholars like to study here.
For example, the four Wang Shizhen brothers from the Wang family in Xincheng and the Li Hanming brothers from Zhangqiu all studied here before.
Daming Lake is full of scenery and allusions.
The Diaoji Island under Zhu Yihai's feet is also very famous. It was originally just a piece of rock in the lake. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, a Shandong official abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. He studied and wrote poems in Shuiyue Temple and fished here in his free time.
, he also deliberately left many poems here, but he kept his name anonymous and did not interact with others. He called himself the master of Minghu and lived a leisurely life.
However, it is said that he was later killed by the Tatars after they broke into the city, and there was no trace of him again. However, the Diaoji he left behind has become a scene of Daming Lake. Countless literati like to come here to check in and leave a poem.
"Want a pole?" Zhu Yihai asked.
"I only know how to ride a horse, shoot archery, wield a sword and use a gun, but I really don't know how to fish. And it's so cold, fishing here is too painful."
"It seems that you really don't know how to fish. Real fishermen don't care about wind, frost, rain and snow. As long as they have a mouth, they are not afraid of a knife."
Zhu Yihai put away his pole and said, "Let's make fish and eat it. You do it or should I do it?"
Wang Sangyu is not wearing Zen clothes today. She wears a coat, skirt and horse-faced face with a wig. She looks like a completely different person from yesterday.
"Can your Majesty still cook fish?"
"Well, all the gourmets are also good cooks. They are good at cooking because they hold it in their mouths."
"I didn't expect that. I only heard that the saint was frugal and only had four dishes and one soup for each meal. I didn't expect that it was still a glutton."
"I actually taste good and eat carefully, but I am opposed to waste."
Zhu Yihai had a good harvest. The location of Fishing Rock was really good and it was a good opening. He caught a lot of crucian carp, carp, silver carp and bighead carp. Zhu Yihai finally kept two crucian carp and one bighead carp. He called the guards to take the others.
Extra meal.
A stove was set up by the lake and water from Baotu Spring was brought in.
Make crucian carp soup, remove the scales, gills and internal organs, clean it, heat oil in a pan, sprinkle some salt, fry the crucian carp over low heat until both sides are slightly golden, scoop it up, then add two eggs and fry them until they are set.
Then add spring water, bring to a boil over high heat, add fish and eggs, and then add shredded white radish.
This season is the time to eat radishes. The weather is cold, but the radishes are becoming more juicy, crispy and sweet.
Stew the ingredients over high heat, and the fish soup will soon become thick white and fragrant.
Finally, sprinkle some red wolfberry and green chopped green onion to garnish, add some salt to taste, and a pot of fragrant crucian carp soup is completed.
Wang Sangyu stood nearby and watched the emperor's fluent cooking skills, and couldn't help but admire him. He really didn't expect that the emperor really knew how to cook, and his skills were pretty good.
Fat-headed fish, the emperor got one fish and ate two.
Fish head with chopped pepper and braised fish segments are cooked together when making soup.
Pour the hot red pepper on the head of the prepared chopped pepper fish, stir up the chopped pepper, Sichuan peppercorns, and green onions, and the spicy flavor will make people drool.
The fish segments cut into large pieces are lightly fried first, then braised in braised sauce, with some chives added in. It also looks very appetizing.
The fish was cooked into three dishes, and Zhu Yihai stewed a lotus root, which is the lotus root from Daming Lake. The freshly dug lotus root is stewed, fresh and tender, but pink and glutinous.
Finally, I fried a piece of Daming Lake wild rice.
"Four dishes and one soup are ready, crucian carp soup, fish head with chopped pepper, braised fish segments, casserole with pig's feet and lotus root, vegetarian fried wild rice, try it."
Wang Sangyu was very generous and polite today. He sat down with a smile, took the initiative to help the emperor set the dishes and even warmed a pot of wine just now.
Taking a sip of the fish soup, my big eyes brightened a bit, "This tastes really fresh."
"The water in Daming Lake is good, the fish is fresh, and good food requires good ingredients."
The water quality of Daming Lake at this time is really good, and Jinan deserves to be called the City of Springs. There are countless sweet springs in the city, and finally merge into Daming Lake. The water of this lake is clear and bright, and there is no pollution in the lake. There are even hundreds of acres of lotus leaves around it.
There are many wild rice plants and cattail sprouts.
In summer, half of the lake is covered with lotus leaves. When the lotus flowers are in full bloom, there will be many lotus-picking girls rowing on the lake, which is very beautiful.
Rice is also planted next to the lake.
Lotus roots and fish come out every year, and reeds are cut to harvest fragrant rice.
The lake fields are fertile, the water is abundant, the production volume is large, and the market is close, so the value is extremely high.
However, such a treasure land is actually occupied by Shuiyue Temple and some famous families in Jinan, and they do not pay any taxes to the court.
"As far as I know, the few hundred acres of lotus roots in Daming Lake alone produce 500,000 jins of lotus roots, 400,000 jins of cattails, 300,000 jins of reeds, and 300,000 jins of lotus leaves in a year.
In addition, one hundred thousand catties of fish can be caught in the lake a year."
"There are many lake fields around where rice is grown, and the fragrant rice produced is extremely expensive."
Wang Sangyu drank the thick white fish soup and listened to the emperor's words. He was not surprised. After all, this man could conquer the Ji'nan City without a fight with superb means and could seize the title of the saint's land by force, so he was thinking about it now.
The output of Daming Lake is not surprising.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone knows that Daming Lake is a treasure land, and everyone knows that the output price is high, but no one has thought about it before, because some things have been preserved for thousands of years.
inherited.
For example, Shuiyue Temple has existed for thousands of years from the Five Dynasties to the present.
"Daming Lake is so beautiful. It is the pearl of Jinan City. Compared with West Lake in Hangzhou, in this year of famine, the lotus root, wild cattail and fish it produced saved many hungry people."
"Try this fish head. Do you like spicy food?"
"Well, sweet, sour, bitter and spicy have their own tastes. I like them all."
Wang Sangyu stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the fish. The first chopstick caught the fish's lips and gave it to the emperor first.
"Just by seeing you eating fish, I can tell where everyone is from. If you are kidnapped by thieves, they will ask for a big price."
Wang Sangyu chuckled.
"Your Majesty really knows everything."
Many people seem to understand that eating fish depends on one's family status. There is a saying circulating on the street that if a bandit kidnaps a ticket and goes up the mountain with the ticket, he must first starve for two days and then cook a fish. If this ticket is the first to pick up the fish back meat with chopsticks
Eat, then he is probably an ordinary person.
If the person who eats fish lips with chopsticks first is definitely rich, and the person who eats crescent moon meat with chopsticks second is definitely good.
The fish lips are the tenderest and most delicious. There were even special dishes made with fish lips in the palace. They are between fish meat and fish skin. The meat is smooth and tender and full of flavor. The only drawback is that there is too little meat on the fish lips.
The crescent meat is close to the fish's gill cover and is shaped like a crescent. It has more meat than the fish's lips. There are two large pieces. It is the smoothest and tenderest, with a good taste and no thorns.
So if you just open the gill cover and eat the crescent moon meat, you must know how to eat it and the conditions are good. Otherwise, when most people eat fish, they may only eat the back and belly of the fish.
The ones that can be eaten are fish lips, moon whites and fish brains first, or even a fish only eats these.
The fat fish head is made into minced pepper fish head. Although it is less fresh than stewed, the addition of minced pepper adds a bit of spicy and spicy flavor. The fish skin is crispy on the outside, but the meat on the inside is still fresh and tender.
Especially the crescent moon meat.
Zhu Yihai gave Wang Sangyu a piece of crescent moon meat.
She can eat spicy food.
Although chili has been introduced for a long time, it is not widely popularized or even accepted. Wang Sangyu is not afraid of spicy food, and even enjoys it.
The more Zhu Yihai watched it, the more he liked it.
It is hard to imagine that this is a person who has been a monk for three years. Of course, in her own words, she is not really a monk because she has not officially entered the monks. She just couldn't think about it after her husband died, so she cut her hair and went to the mountain at home.
Practice in Zhuangzi.
But she stayed in the mountains for three years, but she never really calmed down.
In other words, in this troubled world, there are too many things that interfere with the worldly world.
Staying in the mountains is more about showing the Liu family that although she is young, she has no intention of remarrying, and she also has no intention of competing for the family's industrial management rights.
Three years in the mountains are also three years of mourning for your husband.
"Your Majesty, do you think I am vulgar? I am the daughter of a general, and I have practiced riding and shooting since I was a child. I am impatient with women's red embroidery, and I don't like music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I only like riding and shooting swords and guns. I once thought that maybe it was because of me that I
It was the wrong pregnancy, I should have given birth to a boy so that I could go to the battlefield in Liaodong and protect my family and the country."
Zhu Yihai said, "I am sending you a poem, with a heroic figure and a five-foot gun, and the dawn is shining on the military training field. The Chinese people are full of ambitions, but they don't like red clothes and prefer armed weapons."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I really like this poem."
Through Liu Chao, Zhu Yihai asked Dongchang to find out a lot about the Wang family. The Wang family also came from a famous family. Her grandfather was Wang Xiangqian, the governor of Jiliao, who belonged to the famous Wang family in Xincheng, Jinan.
In the early Chongzhen period of Wang Xiangqian's reign, he became the governor again when he was more than eighty years old.
During the Tianqi period, he was the governor of Jiliao. At that time, Xiong Tingbi abandoned Shanhaiguan and rumors spread everywhere in Beijing that Hou Jin was going to break through the pass. The emperor was so frightened that he grabbed the sleeves of his chief minister Ye Xianggao and cried. The Minister of War, King Tingbi, followed the example of Yuan Yingtai in Jin Dynasty. The old method is to find the Mongols to provide back money and take the opportunity to regain Ningyuan.
Although Wang Xiangqian had just taken over as governor of Jiliao, he also knew that the Mongols were not reliable at all at this time and could not defeat the Hou Jin Dynasty, so he rejected the plan and finally invited the emperor's master Sun Chengzong to preside over the reconstruction of the Ningguanjin defense line and continue the Ming Dynasty. Dead.
Wang Xiangqian's family was born in the imperial examination, and his ancestors were just craftsmen.
Wang Xiangqian's father was a minister of the Ministry of Punishment, so there is an archway with two ministers.
However, after the situation in Liaodong improved, the imperial court specially commended Wang Xiangqian, who had been promoted to Minister of War, Governor Ji Liao, for his outstanding achievements such as inspecting the army on the border and commanding Jiujiang. He was promoted to Crown Prince and Taibao, and was granted titles to three generations, including his great-grandfather Wang Lin and grandfather Wang. Chongguang, his father Wang Zhiheng, also specially ordered the construction of the fourth palace protection archway.
It is built just outside the south gate of Xincheng County, at the south end of the moat suspension bridge, and stands on the street.
Wang Sangyu's father is actually not Wang Xiangqian's biological son, but the son of a servant he adopted when he was the governor of Xuanfu. The servant died trying to block an arrow for him, so Wang Xiangqian adopted his son, taught him personally and raised him, and later stayed by his side. Guard and fight.
