"Three years, isn't it too short?" Zhao Gou's face was full of doubts and puzzles.
Xu Feng said with a smile: "of course, the time limit is not long, but it takes three years to cultivate morale and promote loyal officials. After three years, the strength of the Song Dynasty is bound to surpass that of the Jin Dynasty. I think, Xiao Zhao, you should also have the ambition of unifying rivers and mountains. You won't live in troubled times, will you
After all, Zhao Gou is young. If young people don't have ambition and self-confidence, they can't be called young people. Therefore, he immediately raised his case: "OK, in the opinion of the emperor brother!"
"But Xiao Zhao, when he talks with the state of Jin, he can't talk for three years. The people of Jin are capricious and resourceful. It's better to talk for more years. 10 years is the best. Remember, we should send a smart person to negotiate for 10 years. We should talk for as many years as possible. The temperament of the people of Jin will certainly tear up the contract ahead of time, but by that time, we have developed."
"But brother Huang, are you so sure that Jin people will care about a Wanyan Zonghan?" Zhao Gou is a bit tangled.
"I will care about it. If you don't believe it, just watch it!"
……
The more the two brothers talked, the more speculative and happy they were. Unconsciously, they reached noon.
At this time, the side hall had already started cooking. A strong fragrance suddenly broke through the kitchen and entered Xu Feng's room, which was smelled by Zhao Gou.
Zhao Gou is also a famous gourmet in history. Smelling the smell, he immediately took a deep breath: "the smell of imperial dining room has gone to the emperor's room."
"No, No." Xu Feng corrected, "this is the taste of my small kitchen. Yunxi is cooking with my recipe. Xiao Zhao, how about eating here?"
Zhao Gou was excited: "just what I want."
Xu Feng is not stupid. He can see that Zhao Gou has a good feeling for Yi Yunxi.
Of course, he can't give yiyunxi to Zhao Gou. In that case, it will hurt the hearts of him and yiyunxi. However, if he lets yiyunxi cook for Zhao Gou, he can make Zhao Gou lose his heart.
Xu Feng is very clear about Zhao Gou's character. Zhao Gou's ears are soft. If he leaves this morning, I'm afraid Xu Feng's words will be ignored. It's better to keep him now. If he can stay for a day or two, I'm afraid it will play a great role.
……
The dishes are served. All the dishes are cooked according to Xu Feng's requirements. Yiyunxi is responsible for cooking. Wang Xiaokun and Zeng Xiaochun are responsible for guiding, Jiang Nan is responsible for tasting, and Xu Feng is responsible for accompanying guests.
Zhao Gou's two confidants were also treated well. They were arranged at the door and set up small tables. They could see that Xu Feng was favored by Zhao Gou, so they refused all the time. Finally, Xu Feng asked Zhao Gou to order them to have dinner outside the hall, and they ate.
Of course, Xu Feng took out some white wine made by Gauls to entertain the two eunuchs.
The taste of this white wine is very pure, with a kind of natural sweetness. When the two eunuchs drink the wine, their faces are red, and they are very grateful to Xu Feng.
On Zhao Gou's side, there are not many dishes, four dishes and one soup, and the staple food is Xu Feng's special Kaifeng Guantang Bao.
Four dishes, a cold dish, a very simple warm mix of Andrographis paniculata, boiled with West Lake well water, Andrographis paniculata cooked, and then with steamed fish soy sauce with an appropriate amount of sesame oil and old vinegar mixed together, refreshing and delicious.
Among the three hot dishes, one is Tianzhou's famous Sixi meatball, which is stirred with Shaoxing yellow rice wine, salt, soy sauce, etc. then a small amount of steamed bread residue, eggs, water chestnut powder, etc. are added, and then stirred evenly, fried until sixty-seven is mature, and cooked with onion, ginger, yellow rice wine, soy sauce and other accessories. The taste is salty and sweet. You can eat it with rice or dry yummy.
In addition, the perch was transformed again. It was made by baking. It was sprinkled with cumin noodles and moderate chili powder. The taste was violent. In addition, the meat was tender, so it tasted delicious and smooth.
After that, there was another old dish, sweet and sour pork.
According to Xu Feng's research on history, Zhao Gou likes sweet food very much, especially the sour and sweet taste. Therefore, this dish is very popular. However, considering that it's hot summer, Xu Feng's technique is very powerful. He actually made chilled Guqin meat, which tastes cold outside and hot inside, with just good sour and sweet degree.
The soup is fish soup. It's made from perch, only ginger, garlic and pepper are added to keep the original taste of fish soup.
As for xiaolongbao, each one has enough frozen meat skin as the main ingredient, so after steaming out, the water is very lovely!
Although Zhao Gou likes sweet and sour food, his first sight is on the small cage bag. He puts one chopstick into his bowl, nibbles it open and sucks it carefully.
At this time, Xu Feng handed him the vinegar.
He nodded, sucked in half, and poured the vinegar through the bite. After a bite, xiaolongbao's rich taste of soup and vinegar completely permeated together, very fresh and exciting. Zhao Gou's tears fell down.
"Brother Huang, you did it on purpose..." Zhao Gou choked, "do you believe I killed you?""Xiao Zhao, if you want to kill me, you will never come to me. If you come to me, you must have an idea to be a Mingjun. Xiao Zhao, you still don't understand why I want to keep you here, do you? Why is today's staple food xiaolongbao? "
"I'm not stupid, I understand! Brother Huang wants me to remember that the capital of the Song Dynasty will always be Tokyo! "
This Tokyo, not the neon Kingdom, refers to Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhao Gou was the founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty was not Kaifeng, but he lived in Kaifeng since childhood, so he was full of feelings there.
Zhao Gou did not want to return to Kaifeng, but Kaifeng had been occupied by the Jin people and could not be recovered. He also had a deep hatred for the Jin people in his heart!
Xu Feng made a small cage bag for him today. That's the meaning.
As for Chuanxinlian, this kind of hatred is aggravating.
……
While eating xiaolongbao, Zhao Gou wiped away his tears: "it's a shame to shed tears in front of the emperor many times."
"Silly boy, it's better to cry in front of me than in front of the golden man, isn't it?"
"Brother Huang, I'd like to stay in your side hall for a few more days, can't I
"No problem." Xu Feng said with a smile, "come on, try this fish. If you think it's delicious, I'll make a roast whole sheep according to this taste in the evening. However, the sheep is too big for us."
After hearing what Xu Feng said, Zhao Gou had a taste of roasted perch with cumin. Sure enough, the fish roasted with fire was very delicious, and there was a unique smell of carbon roasting. In addition, the taste of cumin and chili powder also fully penetrated into the fish. Zhao Gou had never eaten that wonderful taste before, especially the first bite of Zhao Gou was the belly of the fish The taste of fish fat, for a time, oily mouth, very comfortable.
Zhao Goulong and Yan Dayue: "I understand what brother Huang means, but who are you going to invite?"
"I suggest Xiao Zhao invite Li Gang, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and Zhang Jun to have dinner together."
These people mentioned by Xu Feng are all loyal officials and good generals. Yue Fei, needless to say, is a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty. His fighting power and ability of unifying troops are all outstanding. He is also loyal to the imperial court. Han Shizhong is also a famous general. Li Gang and Zhang Jun were also powerful generals in the Southern Song Dynasty. However, in real history, they were all dismissed or demoted because they were afraid of usurping power or interfering in politics after being reused by Zhao Gou. Even Yue Fei was killed.
When Zhao Gou heard this, he frowned slightly and hesitated: "Li Gang was demoted from prime minister to common people when I just succeeded to the throne. Now I don't know where he is..."
"Xiao Zhao, that's your fault."
Hearing this, Zhao Gou called out to the door: "little way!"
The eunuch immediately came in and said in a low voice, "what's your order, emperor?"
"Send a secret order, and order Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, and Zhang Jun to come to Yangzhou City as soon as possible. In addition, order someone to call Li Gang. Don't let anyone know these things, or I'll cut your head off!"
"Here! The slave will keep a secret The path sank.
