Chapter 1287 Foodie and Poetry (Part 2)
Fang Jun's forehead was slightly sweaty.
What's going on with this emperor? He seems to be here just to make trouble today?
He knows a lot about creatures like the emperor. Don't try to reason with him. Anyway, as long as he is happy, he can hit him anytime and anywhere...
In this situation, no matter how you defend yourself, it's useless. It's better to stay the same in response to all changes.
"What your Majesty is scolding is that I know I was wrong."
He lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and bowed his upper body slightly, like a student who was being punished by his teacher in the classroom, with an extremely respectful attitude.
His Majesty Li Er was choked...
When did this bastard become so docile and easy to talk to?
However, when he looked at the well-behaved and beautiful Princess Changle, his anger suddenly gathered in his heart, and a sense of crisis arose. How could he let Fang Jun go so easily?
He took two steps forward, took a look at the dishes on the stone table, and suddenly said with a gloomy expression: "Bold! Your Highnesses are my children, and they are all nobles. How can we treat each other with such plain and vulgar things?" Do you still see the royal family or me? ”
Fang Jun's jaw almost dropped...
I looked at the dazzling array of delicacies on the stone table in astonishment, and thought to myself, why have I offended you again, to be so picky? Not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and wild game, these green vegetables are so green that ordinary wealthy families would not be able to eat them! The weeds on the mountain have just begun to appear, and the table is already full of leeks, cucumbers, water spinach, etc. It is simply a luxurious enjoyment!
"There's no need to blame someone if you want to," I'm afraid it's your behavior, right?
Simply!
With thoughts swirling in his mind, he said, "Your Majesty, please be aware that as winter turns to spring and the Yang Qi rises, it is inevitable that the fire Qi in the body will become stagnant and the liver fire will be strong. If it cannot be channeled, over time, it will easily become stagnation and cause illness, which will greatly damage your health. Your Highnesses are There is no shortage of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, so I invited several highnesses to come here to prepare seasonal vegetables to relieve the heat in the body, and to accompany them with delicacies from the mountains and wild game, I did not dare to wait any longer. "< br>
His Majesty Li Er raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "Haha, you mean, I have wronged you?"
Fang Jun said: "I don't dare."
It's "dare not", not "no"...
His Majesty Li Er's eyes twitched, and he knew that you are a kid who can't stand being angry. As long as you dare to contradict me, you will naturally have an excuse to take it out on you!
"Father, I must be aware that I have indeed eaten a lot of big fish and meat recently. Such light dishes are more to my liking." Prince Li Chengqian saw the emperor's unhesitating expression and quickly changed his words. Although it was Princess Fangling's idea to come to Fang Jun's house today, how could he stand idly by while watching Fang Jun being punished by his father?
Princess Fangling shrank her neck and did not dare to speak.
She was originally afraid of His Majesty Li Er, and the incident with Yang Yuzhi made His Majesty Li Er furious. How could she dare to interrupt? I could only silently sympathize with Fang Jun, that's all.
As for Princess Changle... She was dragged here today by Princess Fangling. She had already secretly resented Fang Jun's several frivolous words and deeds. Now when she saw His Majesty Li Er looking for trouble, she just wanted to applaud her. How could she stop her?
His Majesty Li Er glanced at the prince, ignored him, and just said lightly: "Very good!"
Then he stepped forward and pointed to the stir-fried leeks on the table and said: "Although this thing is considered rare at this time, it is a vegetable that every household has after all. In spring, leeks are dry and tough, and taste like wax. You can use it to serve Prince, entertain the princess?”
Fang Jun had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know. These leeks are a new variety of wild leeks in Guanzhong. They are of tender quality and good taste. Besides, the spring leeks only need to be cut off with the first cut and grown again." The young leaves are the most delicious and nutritious..."
"Nonsense! Do you think I've never eaten leeks?" His Majesty Li Er looked uncertain, as if he was about to get angry anytime and anywhere!
Is it possible that this emperor is experiencing early menopause?
Fang Jun secretly complained in his heart, and then he had an idea and said: "The beauty of spring leek is evidenced by poetry."
His Majesty Li Er was slightly stunned: "Is there a poem to prove it? Why have I never heard of it?"
Fang Jun then recited: "It rains at night to cut spring leeks, and the new cooking room is yellow. The Lord said that it is difficult to meet, and it takes ten cups in one fell swoop..."
His Majesty Li Er clenched his hands behind his back, feeling annoyed.
This poem is unheard of and was obviously written by Fang Jun out of desperation.
What a bastard!
Are you here to show off your talent in front of me?
OK!
His Majesty Li Er pointed to the green shepherd's purse in the white porcelain plate: "This shepherd's purse is something that poor people feed themselves. It is most bitter and difficult to swallow. How can it be put on the table for the prince to eat?"
Aren’t you talented in literature and boast that you are seven and a half times more talented? Then today you will make a poem for each dish for me.
Do it and I will spare you;
If you can't do it, the board will wait for you!
Fang Jun swallowed. How the hell... can the emperor just look for trouble?
Is there any royal method?
Looking at the plate of shepherd's purse with green leaves and white roots, Fang Jun's mind was spinning rapidly, and he was searching for memories of the poems he had learned in the past...
After a long while, he slapped his thigh suddenly and said happily: "Far and near, the road is sloping, and there are people selling wine in Qingqi. The peach and plum trees in the city are worried about the wind and rain, but the spring is in the shepherd's purse flowers at the head of the stream!"
His Majesty Li Er was stunned.
Mother!
Can you really write it?
Fang Jun continued: "Such fresh and elegant words are like a beautiful picture of a prosperous age. In the past, people used shepherd's purse to wrap their bellies, but now it is on the table of Prince Wang and Sun Gong. He washes it with stream water and dips it in some sauce. When you eat it, you will feel the slight bitterness and fragrance in your mouth. For example, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two princesses are nobles, they never forget the sufferings of the people, remembering the hardships and thinking about the sweetness! Your Highnesses are honest and kind-hearted in nature, and they never forget the people of the world even when they are rich. This shows that Your Majesty's teachings are good. My congratulations to Your Majesty!”
Princess Changle looked at Fang Jun talking eloquently and was dumbfounded.
This man... is so shameless, he seems to be able to flatter him anytime and anywhere, and give his father a comfortable flattery.
He is indeed a sycophant!
Princess Fangling's eyes are sparkling, and her extreme intelligence is like eight-pack abs. She can always easily stir up women's hormones...
Prince Li Chengqian's eyes flickered with admiration.
Who can match this quick wit in the Tang Dynasty?
Your Majesty Li Er has a stubborn temper. I know you are talented, but I don’t believe you can write a poem for a table full of dishes!
He pointed to a piece of twice-cooked pork: "This meat is not beautiful."
Fang Jun had another hard time thinking about it...
Throughout the ages, Su Shi is the most famous poet and lyricist who can be called a "taotie", a serious foodie.
Thinking of Su Shi's "Ode to Pork", Fang Jun shook his head and recited: "Wash the pan clean, use less water, and the firewood will not smoke. Don't rush it when it is ripe. When the fire is sufficient, it will be beautiful." The good pork in Chang'an is as cheap as dirt. The rich don't want to eat it, and the poor don't know how to cook it. If you get up in the morning, you will have two bowls of it. Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not what I mean..." br>
I had a great time memorizing poems, so I changed the word "Huangzhou" in the front to "Chang'an", but I forgot to change the last sentence.
Don’t worry about it when you are so full...
His Majesty Li Er stared angrily and his beard stood up!
What's the meaning?
I just asked you a few questions, but you actually dared to scorn me and "don't worry about it"?
Mother!
Do you want to shake things up?
His Majesty Li Er angrily pointed to a piece of crystal-white fish meat and asked: "What kind of fish is this?"
The so-called fish soup is sashimi. It was most popular during the Tang Dynasty and was an indispensable dish for wealthy families to have banquets. But later on, this trend gradually declined, and later generations did not like it, so it gradually became less common. Instead, it was learned by overseas Japanese and carried forward...
Looking at this fish dumpling, Fang Junxin said that this is much easier: "Winter night hurts the five streams, and the herring falls in the snow, and the orange fish falls in the orange!"
The sea bass has few scales and tender meat, making it a good fish fillet. Served with "orange jelly", a jam made from mashed oranges, it is a delicacy in the world and became popular in the Tang Dynasty.
His Majesty Li Er was still not angry. He wanted to point to the next dish, but he heard Fang Jun continue to say: "I have ordered you to be a minister of the Qing Dynasty, and sell the pots to attract people. In the land of scales and hyenas, it is appropriate to give oranges and grains to record the affairs and recruit talents." Let the messenger..."
His Majesty Li Er was a little confused.
Grant Chengjun to record things and guard the recruitment of talented envoys?
What nonsense!
However, if you think about it carefully, there is indeed some interest contained in it. If it is spread, it may become a fun thing to talk about.
Damn it, you really know how to play...(End of Chapter)
