Chapter 280 Bad idea
Although it was a bit abominable to others, it was an indisputable fact that Li Rui was quick to do things. When the pheasant and hedgehog were burrs on his body in the fire, he completely peeled off the skins of the little squirrels at an astonishing speed. The peeling was very beautiful, and it only took a little treatment to make a pair of beautiful little gloves.
After peeling the squirrel's skin, he pulled out the pheasant and hedgehog that had burned balls, scraped off the burrs that had not been completely burned on his body in a few seconds, and then threw them in hot water for a while to scrub them. Soon, the chicken and hedgehog who had been burned were cleaned completely, revealing the tempting meat.
Zhuge Hui had to admit that this guy is indeed a good cook.
She smiled and asked, "It's said that a gentleman is far away from the kitchen. How can you, a big man, cook more skilled than a woman?"
Li Rui said: "Because I like delicious food. When I am free, I sit on a table of dishes I like, and then invite a group of friends to eat them cleanly. It is a very happy thing. I enjoy this kind of happiness."
Zhuge Hui said: "These are all work done by women. If your friends know that you are soaking in the kitchen all day long, washing and cooking, they will not be allowed to peel you."
Li Rui didn't raise his head: "Don't worry, no one will laugh at him."
Zhuge Hui didn't believe it: "Really?" She really didn't believe it. Nowadays, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen. People with some identities regard the kitchen as an unclean place and are unwilling to step into the kitchen, let alone spend an hour or two a day in the kitchen, and the table is full of dishes. Such an alternative is really found in the circle of friends, and it would be strange if you don't laugh at it hard.
Li Rui said: "It's true, because I don't have friends at all."
Zhuge Hui: "..."
There are no friends, so even if he stays in the kitchen every day and doesn't come out, there will be no friends laughing at him. This logic is simply perfect.
Zhuge Hui made him speechless.
Li Rui seemed to have no intention of being ashamed of the chef. He hummed an inexplicable song and quickly processed the pile of ingredients, obviously enjoying it, which made Zhuge Hui feel a little confused about him.
The saying "A gentleman stays away from the blister kitchen" was said by Mencius. His wish is "A gentleman is a beast. When he sees his life, he cannot bear to see his death; when he hears his voice, he cannot bear to eat his meat; so a gentleman stays away from the kitchen." It means that a gentleman cannot bear to see his death when he sees his life, and he cannot bear to eat his meat when he hears his voice. Therefore, a gentleman always stays away from the kitchen. His original intention is to advise the king to rule the world with benevolence and righteousness. As a result, it is passed down and turned into a gentleman who cannot cook and will be ridiculed when he cooks. It is estimated that some lazy people who never do housework deliberately recite the scriptures.
If you read it wrongly, just read it wrongly. Anyway, the five words "Gentleman stays away from the breech" are clearly written in black and white. They are the words of the saints. Who dares to object? So more people who are unwilling to do housework have this sentence on their lips. They seem to have forgotten that another great man who is more substantial than Mencius said: "Eat never tire of fine food, and stew never tire of fine meat!" The more refined the grain you should pound, the better, and the finer the fish and meat you should cut, the better. Gentleman stays away from the breech? You are a big-headed ghost!
However, this person seemed to know very well. In fact, he had never eaten any serious things in his life. There was no way. The cooking utensils, cooking methods, and condiments were very limited at that time. It was really difficult to have a good meal.
Li Rui said that I had never read any sage books, so I didn't understand the gentleman's farewell cook. The sky is big and the earth is the biggest. If anyone dares to stop me from eating, I will be with him! He hummed, "I want to invite you to sit on my wild moto, I am willing to take you to drink, eat meat and then sing. My wild moto, although it is a bit broken, don't dislike it, you will fall in love with the happiness it brings." Such cheerful songs, waving a kitchen knife, chop all the squirrels, pheasants, hedgehogs, etc. into pieces. Even the unlucky python could not escape his claws, let him peel off his internal organs and wash them, chop them into pieces, throw them into the pot and heat them first to remove the blood inside. After a thick layer of dirt condensed on the surface of the hot water, he would pick them up and clean them, then replace them with clean water and continue cooking.
Zhuge Hui brought a basket of wild vegetables and picked the tender leaves on it one by one. This wild vegetable looks quite strange. The leaves are distributed in the shape of a lotus platform, with layers of distinct layers, and the closer they are to the center, the tenderer they are. This is Wudai, a very cold-resistant wild vegetable that can't be frozen to death at low temperatures of minus 8 degrees Celsius. On the contrary, after frost, it will be crisper, tenderer, and smoother, and it is a very delicious wild vegetable. However, it has not been planted in large quantities until now, so if you want to eat it, you can dig it in the wild. This basket was dug back by Zhuge Hui himself, and it is quite tender.
She also had quick hands and feet. She picked all the leaves of several black vegetables in just a few seconds and threw them into warm water to clean them. Judging from the quickness, she knew that the vegetables she washed must be very clean and would never eat messy things like sand.
Li Rui washed the pot, and immediately set the fire after she washed the vegetables, put oil on, and threw the vegetables into the pot and stir-fry them.
After a while, the tempting fragrance spread and filled the entire kitchen.
Zhuge Hui looked at it, surprised. She had eaten this wild vegetable before and was even good at cooking Wucai vegetables. Why wasn't the ones she made before so fragrant?
"In the past, you cooked vegetables in water, right?" Li Rui seemed to see the doubts in her heart and asked.
Zhuge Hui nodded: "What else can I do if I don't need to boil vegetables in water?"
Li Rui said: "It's a damn thing that boils it in white water, it's fragrant."
Well, there is basically no such thing as stir-frying these days. There is basically one way to cook vegetables, that is, boiling radish? Boiling! Boiling leek? Boiling! Boiling perilla? Boiling! Boiling sunflower? Boiling! All kinds of wild vegetables? Boiling! Boiling water makes all the vegetables scared. It’s not that it’s not that boiling water is not good, but some vegetables have to be fried or stir-fried before they are delicious. If they are boiled with water, it will definitely be bland and tasteless.
Zhuge Hui pointed to the big pot: "I heard that you invented this kind of cooking utensils?"
Li Rui said: "Yes, it's a pity that I was detained by the general, which made me have to find iron materials to rebuild after returning to the barracks. It's so crap!"
Zhuge Hui admired: "You are such a genius who can invent such a useful cooking utensil."
Li Rui smiled and said, "Miss Zhuge has won the award... By the way, do you eat spicy food?"
Zhuge Hui said: "Of course it is eaten."
Li Rui immediately grabbed a handful of dogwood and threw it into the boiling broth.
The fruits of dogwood are spicy. Before the peppers were introduced to China, if you want to taste spicy, you can only eat dogwood, garlic and other things... It was not easy for the ancients to get together the four kinds of ups and downs, such as sweets, bitters and spicy food.
After throwing the dogwood, he searched for other seasoning pots, but no pepper was found. He couldn't help but feel disappointed: "There is no pepper, this pot of broth is a lot of color... Alas, it would be great if sheep embroidery was here. With this little insult, I have never been worried about seasonings like pepper and cumin!"
Zhuge Hui couldn't help laughing: "You dare to treat Miss Yang as a sucker? Be careful that she shoots you with an arrow!"
Li Rui said: "Shot me with an arrow? She is afraid she will be unable to protect herself now, so why should she shoot me with an arrow?" Speaking of this, a hint of worry flashed across his eyebrows.
The day after the Battle of Tiemen Pass ended, Yang Xiu received an order from the head of the family, asking her to take all the military generals back to Luoyang immediately. According to the information sent back from Beigong Jing's inside line, she was immediately locked up as soon as she returned to Luoyang, and she didn't know what was going on now. Obviously, Yang Chen was extremely angry at her and Beigong Jing's joint efforts to lift the siege of Tiemen Pass and rescue Sima Yue, who was already trapped in the dead place of Tiemen Pass, and did not know what kind of punishment this little girl would be punished!
Fortunately, when Yang Xiu was forced to lead troops back to Luoyang, Beigong Jing said harsh words to the Yang Family General who came to pass the order: "Go back and tell Yang Shizhong that Yang Xiu is my best friend. I don't agree with her hair! I forced her to bring her military generals with me to fight with me to break the siege of Tiemen Pass. If Yang Shizhong has any fire, just come to me. If she takes her anger on her, I will have to go to Luoyang to make a good argument with Yang Shizhong!"
Now Beigong Jing is no longer a small character with only 5,000 troops on hand. After the four big victories in Xincheng, Chaoliu, Yiyang and Tiemenguan, he incorporated a large number of captured Hu troops, and at the same time, many veterans of the Qihu Army came to join. Sima Yue also kept the alien troops for him before returning to Luoyang. At this time, Beigong Jing had more than 20,000 elite soldiers and generals on hand, and they were all warlike and brave arrogant soldiers and brave generals.
This is a terrible force, which really made her angry. She led her troops directly into Luoyang. I am afraid that the emperor and the ministers who supported the emperor could only kneel down and sing "You are conquered like this." Otherwise, what would happen? I could still expect that they would be sold once and almost killed half of the imperial guards in the iron gate to protect them? His warning was very important. Even if it was just for his own life, the monarch and ministers in Luoyang had to think twice before doing it?
As it turns out, Li Rui's worries are completely redundant.
It is true that Yang Xiu was locked up as soon as she returned to Luoyang City, but it is not necessarily true that she was in such a dangerous situation and any abuse she had suffered. It is not that Yang Chen's love for her child is so deep that she can tolerate such rebellious actions, but...
Yang Chen has no time to pay attention to her now. Yang Chen is already in a state of anxiety.
When you hit a snake, you must be beaten to death, otherwise you will be bitten sooner or later. Sima Yue is undoubtedly such a poisonous snake. The monarch and minister of Luoyang wanted to use the hands of Hu people and Gou Xi to kill him, but because Beigong Jing disrupted the situation, he failed to succeed. Now that the poisonous snake has returned to Luoyang, it must be biting people crazy. He will not let anyone who has betrayed him go!
