Of course, there was no such thing as pickled peppers in the Ming Dynasty. However, for the working people who thought that everything could be put into pickle jars, since radish, celery, garlic, cucumber, bamboo shoots and other vegetables and fruits can be

It's not difficult to stuff some more chili peppers into it.

Brother Wen keeps a jar of pickled peppers at home. He usually uses a little when cooking. As long as he doesn't chew all the pickled peppers directly, it won't be too spicy. Even people who don't like spicy food can taste it a few times.

Mouth addiction.

Since he mentioned pickled pepper chicken feet to Zhu Houzhao and the others, Brother Wen left Qiu's house and went to find a store he knew well, asking him to leave some chicken feet for him, and he would have someone pick them up early tomorrow morning.

The history of eating chicken feet has a long history. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "Lu Shi Chun Qiu" once gave an example: "If a good scholar eats chickens, he will eat thousands of the soles and then the rear feet." This means that people who are good at learning will be like

The King of Qi ate like chicken, he had to eat thousands of chicken feet to be satisfied!

Look, the majestic king of a country is so addicted to chicken feet that "Lu Spring and Autumn" used it as a typical example!

In later generations, some scholars loved reading ancient books to accumulate writing materials. They excerpted many good words, sentences and paragraphs that they admired very much and classified them into categories. They called this collection "Chicken Zhiji Collection".

Brother Wen once saw this "Collection of Chicken Feet" and thought it was very interesting. He planned to buy a copy later. A good scholar like him should chew on thousands of chicken feet!

The pickled pepper chicken feet and lemon chicken feet are both refreshing and delicious, and the garlic chicken feet are also pretty good, yum!

As for what King Qi ate was actually the "treasure" in the middle of the chicken feet, there is no need to mention it. They are all part of the chicken feet anyway, so why distinguish them too clearly!

Wen Geer Ma Liu brought a pile of ingredients home and asked their chef, Lao He Ming'er, to get the chicken feet and help marinate them!

Lao He readily agreed and asked if he wanted to remove the bones.

Brother Wen asked him to take off half of his clothes and half to keep them on, because some people like the texture when they bite it, and some people like the texture when it melts in their mouth, so they have to be prepared for both.

"Hello!"

Lao He happily agreed. He even expressed some emotion to Brother Wen, saying that if there was a spicy Shajiang in Guangdong, it would be especially suitable for braised chicken feet, but it seems that it is not available in the capital.

Brother Wen said: "When I go to Guangdong in the future, I will definitely try it out!"

Lao He said: "It's so far away. It might take two or three months to go there. You don't know when you can go."

Brother Wen is still young after all, and he always has inexplicable confidence in many things. For example, he feels that one day he will be able to go wherever he wants, play how he wants, and enjoy all the happy things in the world in the future.

. He and Lao He discussed for a long time and decided to make two flavors: pickled pepper chicken feet and lemon chicken feet, so that everyone can try them.

Lao He had been busy for two days and finally helped Brother Wen marinate the chicken feet.

Brother Wen gave it to his relatives and friends to taste, and then took some to the East Palace to give Zhu Houzhao and his two younger brothers and sisters a bite, which was regarded as fulfilling his promise. Although he liked to be lazy and fish, he would never treat children

Break a promise.

Zhu Houzhao and the others struggled a bit at first, thinking that chewing chicken feet was very indecent, but it was Brother Wen who quoted scriptures to them and told them that this was a plate of chicken feet that carried thousands of years of culture, so they decided to pick it up and start chewing.

In the evening, Zhu Youtang, a father, was naturally introduced to science by the three children. He said that chicken feet, a delicacy, has a thousand-year cultural tradition. When Lu Buwei gathered his disciples to compile "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals", he called on everyone to be like the King of Qi in learning. Love as deeply as gnawing on chicken feet!

Zhu Youtang couldn't help but corrected: "Chicken feet refer to the soles of chicken feet." If King Qi had eaten thousands of chicken feet, he might have spent his whole life eating them!

Zhu Xiaoer asked doubtfully: "What is the difference between chicken paws and chicken feet?"

When Zhu Youtang thought about it, it seemed that there was really no difference. The only difference was whether he gnawed the whole chicken or just took a small piece of delicious and elastic meat from the chicken paw.

Zhu Youtang did not correct him any more, and continued to nibble on the lemon chicken feet while the three children looked at him expectantly.

He is not used to spicy food, but the sour and delicious taste is quite to his liking.

At least it has a good appetizing effect.

Empress Zhang originally wanted to firmly refuse, but when she saw the three children enthusiastically holding the food in front of her, and Zhu Youtang, a novice who had tried it before, he was full of praise, so she also took a piece of boneless chicken feet to try.

After trying it, I felt that I had missed this humble ingredient for many years!

It turns out that simply stewing this thing once and for all can actually make people feel addictive. I can ask Mr. Shang to try making it later.

Now that the palace staff is simple, she only needs to worry about a few children and the care of the two giant Buddhas of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. There is nothing else to worry about. It is quite suitable to put a plate of such food in it. Have something on hand to pass the time.

When Zhu Houzhao saw that both the emperor and the empress had eaten the chicken feet that he had brought to honor them, Ma Liu took out the Forbidden City fire prevention and disaster relief safety drill plan that he had carefully prepared in the past few days and showed it to his father, preparing to take advantage of this warm moment to convince him. His father agreed to let him conduct an exercise.

Zhu Youtang listened to Zhu Houzhao's explanation of the significance of the drill, and felt that it was a very important matter. However, he couldn't help but ask one more question: "Did your little teacher ask you to do this?" "

Zhu Houzhao said: "The young gentleman just told me the general drill method, and I wrote everything else myself!"

He also told Zhu Youtang about the discussion between himself and Brother Wen about the censor, saying that his young husband was not only not angry with the censor for impeaching him, but also thought that the censor's idea of ​​guarding against the slightest was a good idea.

Mr. Xiao also said that it is very difficult to guard against subtle changes. It is very difficult just to convince others that something like that might happen, let alone to get others to actually listen to your advice!

Then he mentioned the safety drill and asked him to try it himself.

Even if Donggong takes the lead in organizing a fire prevention and disaster relief safety drill, how many people are willing to cooperate with the drill and do their best to implement all arrangements?

Zhu Youtang said: "Since this is the case, I won't come forward. You go find someone to discuss this matter in person. You don't have many people at hand. I will send Jin Yiwei to help you observe the reactions of all parties in private. Just make your arrangements." That’s it.”

When Zhu Houzhao heard that his father had agreed to this matter, he was gearing up for a big fight.

Seeing his excitement, Zhu Youtang couldn't help but read the plan he wrote and gave him many suggestions for modifications to avoid making a mess when he actually implemented it.

When Zhu Houzhao thought that he was about to "line up the troops" in person, he was naturally willing to listen to any suggestions. He actively wrote down all Zhu Youtang's suggestions and ran back to the East Palace to summon the group of cobblers below to revise the plan. .

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-September, and it was Zhu Houzhao's Qianqiu Festival. Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to conduct a safety drill on his birthday, but unfortunately several elders in the palace unanimously opposed it, so he had to find a suitable date with the officials of the Imperial Palace.

.

This bizarre idea of ​​creating a disaster for practice even if there is no disaster, really puzzled the Qintianjian officials.

They discussed it privately with other courtiers, and they found out that the other courtiers didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd in the East Palace this time, but it didn't cost money and didn't bother the people, so everyone just pretended not to know.

On the "auspicious day" selected by the Qin Tian Supervisor, Zhu Houzhao invited Brother Wen to the East Palace to observe the drill that mobilized the entire Forbidden City.

The fire prevention measures in the Forbidden City are still in place. It is difficult for a fire in one palace to spread to another palace. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao's drill plan is to randomly set up "fire points" and determine who will take which route to extinguish the fire source and who will take which route.

Go and escort the Queen Mother and the others to a safe area.

Because the fire point is uncertain, everyone must stay in their residence or duty station. After hearing the fire signal, act quickly according to the route to extinguish the fire as soon as possible and evacuate safely.

If you run too slowly, you will be killed!

Zhu Houzhao proudly boasted to Brother Wen how smooth his plan was: "You said it was difficult for others to listen, but just by saying that, my father agreed, and everyone else was very cooperative!"

Brother Wen didn't feel like he was being slapped in the face at all, and said with a smile: "His Highness is the crown prince of our Ming Dynasty, so others will naturally listen to His Highness."

Zhu Houzhao said unconvinced: "It's because Gu's words are reasonable and his arrangements are reasonable, that they are willing to listen!"

Brother Wen responded with an "Oh", leaned on the back of his chair, picked up the tea in his hand and drank it slowly, with a perfunctory attitude of "Yes, yes, everything you said is right."

Zhu Houzhao: “…………”
