Chapter 227

As the ships came to shore and the horses galloped, Li Yuanqing's whale meat, together with his reputation for whale slaughtering, quickly began to spread in northern China and even throughout the Ming Dynasty.

Capital, forbidden city.

The Emperor didn't have a good time.

Although in the second half of the year, the affairs of Liaodong gradually tended to be stable. Outside, Duke Wei helped him share his worries. The situation in Daming was generally stable and slightly rising. However, within the imperial court, the contradiction between Donglin and the eunuch party began to become increasingly prominent.

These big men and talented people, almost one small fight a day, a big fight a few days, move is how the ancestral precepts, how to do, even if the small emperor's voice slightly said the point, these masters began to cry two make three wipe neck hanging The little emperor of the Apocalypse was very annoying.

Especially at the end of the year, all aspects of reimbursement, statistics, and rewards and pensions are waiting for money. But this year is not good. Liaoxi has begun to spend money. Where does the court have so much money?

For more than a month, the little emperor of Tianqi didn't even bother to do carpentry. He spent every day with the Hakkas. He would rather bask in the sun in a daze than argue with those people.

Looking at the Tianqi small emperor's already thin body gradually thin, Wei Gonggong is also anxious.

Although he was under one man and above ten thousand, Wei Zhongxian understood that all his things came from the emperor. Once he left Tianqi, he was not as good as a dog.

He was very concerned about the emperor's body, diet and even defecation.

Even if there were many things in the court, he would ask himself.

Today, it is the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is coming.

But it was noon, and the little emperor of Tianqi only had a bowl of porridge. He was in the sun in the courtyard of the Hakka family, teasing the red fish in the water pool.

Next to her, she is in her thirties, and her skin has begun to relax. However, her top position makes her have the best resources in Daming, so that this rural woman, who is originally the most ordinary and a little bit of water, is well maintained. It seems that she is in her early twenties.

However, although she has a smile on her face, she is also very unhappy these days.

Tianqi little emperor does not eat, and where has the strength to make her happy? Especially at her age, at the height of spring and autumn, how could the weak body of emperor Tianqi satisfy her?

Not to mention, there are always days in January when the little emperor of the Apocalypse will spend the night with empress Zhang.

At this time, a small eunuch brought food, which was the "dragon and tiger soup" carefully prepared by the Hakka family.

This is the "good prescription" carefully explored by the Hakka family. It is a kind of decoction made by the tiger whip, the meat of boa constrictor in estrus, and the various species that are not clear and the way is unknown.

The effect, needless to say, has some effect.

Chinese medicine says, eat what fill what.

But in fact, it doesn't taste very good.

Simple is still a little stronger, but these things mixed together, even if the means of superb chef, but also can not change the nature of things.

The smell of fishy smell is unavoidable.

"Emperor, this is a good soup prepared by my concubine. How much do you want to drink? Dragon body matters. " With a smile, the Hakka went to the little emperor of Tianqi, and put a bowl of soup in the eunuch's jar and pasted it on the emperor.

The little emperor of Tianqi had no appetite. The taste of the thick soup was mixed with the fragrance of Ke's body, and he was about to vomit it out.

But he was kind-hearted and could not bear to hurt his heart. He held his breath and took a strong drink. He said with a smile, "I'm not hungry. You all go down. I want to stay for a while. "

The Hakkas were helpless, but they did not dare to disobey the emperor's intention. But when she turned back, she was full of smile, and her face was cold and oppressive.

The eunuchs and palace ladies around did not dare to breathe, and they bowed their heads one after another. They were afraid that they would offend this grandmother. No, they were living hell.

The Hakkas left angrily. The emperor finally relaxed and looked at the red fish in the water.

It would be nice to be as free and unrestrained as these fish.

Unfortunately, in his whole life, it is impossible to realize it again.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian was accompanied by a few small eunuchs and walked quickly over.

Duke Wei said with a smile, "emperor, you haven't eaten yet. Today, I have something ready for you. "

Duke Wei said, with a wave of his hand, two small eunuchs brought over two large plates, which contained two pieces of dark red meat.

Although the bloodstain on it has been washed away, it is still clear to see the solidified flesh and blood, some ferocious, in the eyes of the little emperor Tianqi, it is disgusting.

"Mate, I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat. How many times do I have to say that? " Emperor Tianqi looked at Wei Zhongxian impatiently and powerlessly, full of displeasure.

Duke Wei was not impatient and said with a smile, "emperor, you certainly don't like anything else. I'm sure you like it. ""Eh? Why? " The little emperor of Tianqi was interested and looked at Duke Wei.

Duke Wei laughed, "emperor, let me sell you a pass first. It's the best thing to eat and the most delicious

With that, he waved his hand. Behind him, two small eunuchs rushed to carry a stove over. A chubby imperial chef came here carefully. "I'll see the emperor, long live my Emperor..."

"No, No

The emperor waved his hand impatiently and looked at the kitchen, "Master Wu, what are you doing?"

This Master Wu is already 60 years old. When he was the Emperor Wanli, he often cooked dishes for the emperor. By this time, he was already the number one chef in the palace.

Seeing the emperor's question, Master Wu didn't dare to neglect him. He said, "go back to the emperor. This is whale meat. According to the prescription I got, it needs to be fried in time. It's the most delicious."

Duke Wei was there. He didn't let out a word. Even if he gave Master Wu ten thousand courage, he would never dare to say one more word.

"Whale meat?" The little emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned, "what is this thing?"

He was busy looking at Duke Wei.

Wei Gonggong a smile, "emperor, whale, is the king of the sea, the king of all things in the sea, their meat, this is a treasure."

"Oh?"

Hearing that he was the king, he was also the king of all things in the sea, and the little emperor of heaven was very interested.

Although he was weak, his body, after all, flowed the blood of the Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and the Chengzu Zhu Di.

Gene, even if it can not achieve the glory of his ancestors, but can not stop his yearning.

"Ha ha. That's interesting. It is a king, and I am a king. The meaning of Da Pang is to let me have a taste of it? " The little emperor's face had already shown a smile.

Wei Zhongxian nodded quickly. While letting Master Wu start frying fish, he said with a smile, "emperor, do you want to know where it comes from?"

In this regard, Wei Zhongxian lived most of his life and coaxed the emperor Tianqi, a child who grew up in a pile of women. Is that not easy?

The little emperor of the Apocalypse had already guessed something, and was busy excitedly saying, "big companion, is this from the north?"

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "the emperor is holy. This is what Li Yuanqing of Changsheng island of Liaohai came here. "

"Ah? Is it Li Yuanqing? "

The little emperor of Tianqi was so excited that he grabbed the old hand of Duke Wei, "big companion, tell me quickly how Li Yuanqing grasped the king of the sea?"

Wei Zhongxian explained with a smile: "there are two whales in all. Maybe they were inspired by the grace of heaven. They found out that the Emperor didn't want to eat, so they ran aground on the beach."

"This..." The little emperor of Apocalypse was so excited that he ran aground. It was so boring.

But Wei Zhongxian was not in a hurry, and continued to smile: "emperor, although stranded, these two whales are like two hills. In order to avoid them escaping, Li Yuanqing presented the freshest whale meat to the emperor. He fought with two giant whales and killed them all to get the freshest whale meat for the emperor. "

"Ah? And, fight these two whales? This... " The little emperor's face did not change greatly. He couldn't imagine how big the whale was?

Wei Zhongxian was prepared and said with a smile, "emperor, we will soon know how big the whale is. Li Yuanqing has written to us that the skeleton of the whale is on its way to Beijing. When the time comes, the emperor will know. "

The little emperor of Tianqi also responded and couldn't help laughing, "how clever Li Yuanqing is. If you send the whale directly to the capital, it will take a lot of time and effort. Maybe, the meat will be rotten before it reaches the capital. There is no trouble with the skeleton. Unfortunately, I can't see the whale with my own eyes. "

"The emperor is holy." Wei Zhongxian quickly flattered with a smile.

The little emperor was in a good mood. "Li Yuanqing has a heart. I want to have a good taste of this whale meat. Master Wu, are you ready? "

The little emperor could not wait to see the apocalypse. The sweat on Master Wu's forehead was about to drip out. He said, "emperor, wait a moment, and it will be ready soon."

Even though Master Wu is proficient in ancient and modern recipes, he has never heard of how to make whale meat.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing has already considered these carefully and presented the practice, including every detail of how to eat.

According to Li Yuanqing, this whale meat only needs to be fried until it is ripe. It is delicious with strong liquor, fried eggs and pickles.

But this is the food of emperor Tianqi. If it is not cooked, Master Wu can not bear the responsibility, but if it is too cooked and the meat is not delicious, he can not afford the responsibility.

But he was not stupid, so he thought of a compromise and fried the fish until it was eight ripe.

Soon, the fish was fried and the eggs were all right. Master Wu carefully sprinkled all kinds of seasonings and poured a cup of strong wine.

The little emperor of Tianqi didn't frown, "why should I have wine?"

"Eh? This... " Master Wu did not know how to answer.Duke Wei said with a smile, "emperor, this is the eating method invented by Li Yuanqing. I've tried it just now, and the effect is quite good. You can know it by trying it. Take a bite of meat, then a sip of wine. "

The little emperor could not help laughing. Since Li Yuanqing dared to eat like this, and Wei Zhongxian dared to eat like this, of course he also dared to eat like this.

Said, picked up chopsticks, big bite a piece of meat, and drink a mouthful of wine, eat big chew.

Duke Wei wanted to say that it should be eaten with a knife, but seeing that the emperor was so delicious, he had to shut his mouth for a while.
