Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 361 Crazy Hot Pot

Things like journeys are a bit novel at the beginning, but after a long time, apart from patience, fatigue, and boredom, I really don’t feel much anymore.It's only been two days since I left the boundary of Chang'an, not only Wei Jia and Xie Jiu, but even a few little devils, even if they ran in the carriage of the Wei Mansion, they just ate and drank, and ran back to the royal carriage to sleep went.

Xie Jiu was very prescient, there were many books in the luggage, and while he was resting, he asked someone to fetch them from the carriage where the luggage was loaded, and prepared to pass the time during the journey.Wei Jia flipped through it at random, and they were all medical books and the like, which made Wei Jia admire Xie Jiu's studious spirit very much.In other words, reading professional books is the most boring and requires the most perseverance.

Beyond the boundary of Chang'an, the food is good, and the post station for rest is not as good as Chang'an. Fortunately, there are no fleas or the like, otherwise the days would be even worse.When resting in a small county town at night, Wei Jia began to miss the Qingzhuang dramas he watched in modern times. In other words, in TV dramas, the emperor went on tour, no matter which small county town he went to, they were all delicacies from mountains and seas. What's the matter, the dishes are exquisite and varied, unlike the ones they eat now, the taste is just not right, and the dishes are also simple. It is said that they are the most and the best things that can be found in the local area.

His Majesty Li Er is not picky, so it's not easy for Wei Chi to say much about his subordinates. It's better to be a low-key man with his tail between his legs. However, it shouldn't break the law if you eat some pickles you brought yourself.

"Come on, ma'am, sour radish and spicy cabbage, after a long drive, it's the most comfortable to eat something sour and spicy."

The large cart of luggage in the Wei Mansion, apart from the necessary luggage, is full of pickles, bacon and other things, and even some seasonings. After preparing the pickles, they will be pickled and supplemented along the way. Chi is determined to eat until the end of the tour and go home.

Along the way, the two little devils, on the contrary, were the most energetic people, crawling around in the carriage, torturing Wei Chi so much that he was about to call his mother.As a last resort, I had to let Mrs. Liu and the others carry them to play with each other every day, or Wei Jia went out to ride a horse, sat in front of him with the two children in his arms, wrapped them up tightly, and took them for a while, consuming the heads of two little ghosts energy.

Xie Jiu couldn't stand the long-distance carriage. Although it wasn't strong enough to vomit, she was not in a good mood and had no appetite. The snacks prepared for her basically went into the stomachs of a few little devils, but she didn't How much to eat, just drinking water all the way, taking some medicinal soups to soothe the nerves and help sleep, read books when you wake up, and sleep when you are sleepy, looking sick, Wei Zhi feels very distressed.

At the peak of the road, Wei Jia ran to the kitchen to borrow some kitchen utensils, boiled a bowl of light porridge for Xie Jiu, made a small bowl of cured meat, cut a small bowl of pickled radish, and filled a bowl of fermented bean curd , Ask the kitchen to serve some fresh vegetables, and have a light meal.

"Master!"

As soon as the table was set, Gao Yang came, carrying a food box in his hand.Gao Yang also knew his master's weakness. The staple food in the kitchen was mutton, and Xie Jiu didn't eat it. Gao Yang was afraid that she wouldn't feel comfortable eating it, so he went to the kitchen on purpose. The Queen's, secretly left some for Xie Jiu, and Gao Yang specially sent them.

Gao Yang's filial piety made Xie Jiu smile again and again. He touched her little face and said with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness. After sitting in the car for such a long time, I can't eat sweets now. Have you ever eaten? Why don't we stay together?" Drink the porridge made by your master, you know your master's craftsmanship."

Gao Yang stared at the pickles and fermented bean curd on the table with dewy eyes, reached out his hand to give the food box to the attendants who came with him, gave them to eat, jumped to the table by himself, picked up a bowl of porridge, and started to eat .Looking at her unrefined eating, let alone, I feel that the porridge is much more fragrant, and I have more appetite.

Gao Yang drank the porridge of the two masters with a big appetite, and his stomach swelled, he leaned on the table and sighed: "This is the most comfortable meal on the road, and it's master's cooking."

Wei Zhi also drank three big bowls in a hurry, and he was as good as Gao Yang. He nodded his head and agreed: "That's right, my own taste is more appetizing. My god, the difference in taste is really a big difference." question."

Gao Yang rolled his eyes, walked to Wei Chi's side, and praised without hesitation: "Master's craftsmanship is getting better and better, even cooking a bowl of porridge is so delicious, it is really as what Master said, the simpler the The dishes, the more you can show your extraordinary craftsmanship, the master is really amazing."

Wei Chi glanced at her lazily, yawned and said, "Okay, okay, as long as you can find an excuse to sneak over during meals, we'll wait for you for a stick of incense every time we eat, and we won't wait when it's over. "

Gao Yang was so happy that his big eyes turned into crescent moons, but Bai Fang couldn't see his eyes, he hurriedly said: "It's a deal! Master, please don't go back on your word, for the good luck along the way, Min'er will definitely come out."

Wei Chi shook his head with a smile and sighed.Not to mention, this little girl, Princess Gaoyang, actually found an excuse to come to this table in Weifu every day when it was time to eat, watching Wei Chi make some simple home-cooked dishes with local ingredients Come out, plus those pickles and other snacks brought by the Weifu, it is indeed more in line with the taste of the food at the reception.

"I asked why Miss Seventeen disappeared when it was time to eat. It turned out that she came to Mr. Wei to eat delicious food. Miss Seventeen, you have no loyalty. If you have delicious food, you are not called a pheasant slave or a son!"

"Master Wei, Sizi wants to eat preserved eggs!"

Gao Yang's "disappearance" for several days in a row made Li Zhi pay attention to it. Seeing the opportunity, he secretly followed Gao Yang with his son, and he really found out her whereabouts.Sizi was more straightforward, with his fingers in his mouth, and with big watery eyes, he stared at the dishes on the table in Weifu, and looked at Wei Chi pitifully.

How could Wei Chi resist such a cute attack!While despising Li Zhi's cunning, knowing that Wei Jia would definitely not refuse them to eat together when Sizi came, he even brought Sizi here, making it clear that he wanted to use Sizi's light to eat and drink.Strongly despise clever and cunning Zhengtai brats.

As a result, the dining team in Weifu grew stronger again.Wei Zhi had to worry about whether the pickles he brought were enough to eat, so when he arrived at the post station, he asked someone to buy materials and continue to make.It takes time for pickles and the like to become sour. Wei Chi estimated that after eating the ones he brought with him, the freshly pickled sourness would be ready to eat.

Thanks to the promotion of the imperial court, after two years, Chinese cabbage has been spread out of Chang'an, and it has been widely planted in various places. The officials received along the way all have fresh Chinese cabbage.On the tenth day on the road, when we arrived at the post station, Wei Chi secretly asked someone to lead the way out for a stroll, and happened to meet someone selling wild vegetables, so excitedly, he bought it back without even paying the price, and bought it by the way Some lean pork, two big fat fish, and some cabbage, tofu, etc. Wei Chi announced that he would eat hot pot today.

I went to the kitchen and asked for a big table, set up the stove, the soup pot, and the bone soup left over from cooking in the kitchen, and started to boil the bottom of the pot.In other words, that guy Wei Jia actually brought all the special hot pot pots, which is simply outrageous!

In modern times, ordinary people want to eat hot pot at home, unlike going to hot pot restaurants, they generally make it at home and cook the bottom of the pot by themselves according to their own tastes, especially in rural areas.I remember when eating hot pot became popular, what I ate at home was the bottom of the pot cooked by his ingenious old mother herself. Wei Jia is well-informed. He claims to have the secret recipe of the Wei family in his hands, and he often uses it to fool Xie Jiu. The taste is quite good, which made Xie Jiu doubtful.

Girls like to eat light food, and there is a clear soup pot specially made with chicken soup. Wei Jia likes spicy food, and Li Zhi also likes his taste. Two men, one big and one small, occupy the spicy pot.Putting the food in, staring at it, smelling the fragrance, drooling and waiting to eat, with a beaming face, Wei Jia was very proud, but he said "If you have the conditions, you have to create it." Conditions must also be up" to be implemented throughout.

"Master Wei, are you ready?" Li Zhi asked Wei Chi while biting his chopsticks.Wei Zhi stared eagerly at the pot, grabbed a chopstick, and said, "Come on later, let's cook a little longer, so as not to cause diarrhea from eating raw."

"Oh. It smells so good, so hungry!"

"It's all the same, bear with it."

Wei Jia and Li Zhi were muttering to each other, who made these two have a thick heart, so they just put a big pot in it to cook, look at the clear soup pot on the lady's side, it's already started to eat, it's really enviable, In particular, Gao Yang was still complacent, holding a chopstick for Xie Jiu from time to time, holding a chopstick for Xie Jiu, and his eyes were so cold, it made people itch with hatred, it was so unkind.

"It's ready to eat, um, the spicy one is delicious!" Finally, Wei Jia announced that it was ready to eat. Together with Li Zhi, he raised his sleeves and started to fish into the bowl with chopsticks. That guy, that guy The posture is almost the same as that of the captives released after starving for three days in the concentration camp, and their image is gone. Fortunately, this group of people is locked in the house and eats secretly. If they open a small stove, they will be high-profile Let everyone know, then everyone doesn't have to mess around.

"What a bold Wei Ziyue! If you have delicious food, you don't call me. If you enjoy it alone, what should you do!"

Maybe it was too focused on grabbing vegetables and meat, or maybe it was too focused on shabu-shabu, so I didn’t hear the sound of the door being pushed open, and didn’t hear the footsteps of two adults walking in. The group of people still ate They were very happy, until the visitor made a sound, everyone raised their heads and looked at the visitor with a dull face—His Majesty Li Er and his wife, the heads of state of the Tang Empire.

The table for eating hot pot is placed next to the wall, Wei Jia and Li Zhi are facing the door with their backs, Xie Jiu and Gao Yang are facing the door obliquely, if you don’t pay attention to the door, you really don’t know Someone opened the door and came in.Therefore, the result of eating too attentively is that someone came in without knowing it, and was caught stealing food.

First glanced at the opposite side with their eyes, expressed their condemnation to each other, wiped their mouths quickly, and Wei Jia and others hurriedly saluted.Empress Changsun smiled and dismissed everyone, but His Majesty Li Er twitched his nostrils, walked to the table, and said with a smile: "Wei Ziyue, what should you do? You just cook a small stove to eat hot pot on the way, how dare you not?" Call me! I want someone to beat you thirty sticks!"

Wei Chi smirked, and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I sneaked out for a stroll today, and just happened to meet someone selling fresh wild vegetables. Your Majesty, you don't know, the fresher the wild vegetables, the more you want to eat hot pot, and the more you cook them, the more you want to eat them." Tender and fragrant, not to mention how beautiful it is! However, these things are all rough food, and your majesty has a noble status, how can he be the same as the ministers."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Chi with white eyes and said: "I can't eat it, why can the pheasant slave, Min'er, and Sizi be able to eat it?"

Wei Jia said with a serious face: "I was forced! His Royal Highness Jin said that if he doesn't give them food, he will go to complain to His Majesty. In desperation, alas, I have to bow my head and admit defeat. Besides, His Royal Highness Jin Wang and others are still young and have never experienced any hardships since they were young, so eating some mountain hair and wild vegetables together can be regarded as experiencing life, remembering bitterness and thinking about sweetness."

Li Zhi's face was bitter at the first half of Wei Jia's sentence. After listening to it, he quickly stood with his eyebrows lowered, but quietly gave Wei Jia a thumbs up behind his back—you can eat hot pot with wild vegetables When it comes to recalling bitterness and thinking about sweetness, you can really fool me!

His Majesty Li Er turned a blind eye to the small gestures of the two, and took Empress Changsun's big horse and golden sword to sit down, and said to Wei Chi with a straight face: "Ask someone to add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks!"

Wei Chi's jaw almost dropped to the ground, and he asked stupidly: "Your Majesty, empress, you two are..."

His Majesty Li Er snorted and did not speak.Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Your Majesty and I haven't had any meals. In recent days, Gao Yang, Pheasant Nu, and Si Zi have been running to Ziyue's place every day, and they don't come back to eat with us. The reputation of eating has to be looked forward to.”

Wei Chi was speechless for a moment, look, the image in the past was so bad that people immediately thought of it, there is really no future, very no future.Sighing in his heart, Wei Jia said: "Your Majesty, I have already eaten that pot, please wait a moment, and I will change it for you and your empress."

His Majesty Li Er didn't care about this, he picked up his chopsticks and started to fish in the pot. Not only did he get a bowl for himself, but he also got a bowl for Empress Changsun. Sit down and continue to eat, when I was marching and fighting, I also ate a pot of rice and a bowl of soup with the soldiers, you can eat it, why can’t I eat it?"

Wei Chi was speechless again, but he was a bachelor. He nodded towards Xie Jiu's gaze, waved his hand and said, "Let's sit down and continue eating. We're full. We'll be on our way early tomorrow morning. We may not be able to buy food on the way." It’s time for fresh wild vegetables, if you miss this village, you won’t have this store!”

Xie Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, and led a group of little ghosts to sit down and start eating again. Occasionally, he would whisper to Empress Changsun which food was more delicious, and what kind of food would be good for beauty or nourishing yin.His Majesty Li Er took two pairs of chopsticks by himself. From time to time, he put chopsticks in the spicy pot and scooped them up in the clear soup pot. He was extremely busy.

While eating, Wei Chi was thinking about it in his mind. In the 14th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, in a small county station in a small valley, he had a hot pot with the emperor and his wife of the Tang Dynasty. The skill is vigorous, the vegetables and meat slices disappear one after another in the thick soup, and the momentum is also like a tiger out of the gate, or like a dragon out of the sea, it is unstoppable.

Thinking of being remembered like this, Wei Jia couldn't help but shouted in his heart—Sister Guanyin, brother Tathagata, this world is too crazy!I even sell cakes!
