Chapter 1409 Long memory (wowling for monthly votes)
There are cabbage leaves in the middle of a dumpling box, and around the side are mashed eggplant, mashed potatoes, egg sauce, beef sauce, chopped green onions, chopped coriander, sticky sorghum rice and rice.
In the middle of a box is spring pancake mixed with white flour and buckwheat noodles, and in a circle around it are shredded onions, cucumbers, potatoes, eggplants, chives and bean sprouts, scrambled eggs, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and bacon.
Kangxi's eyes fell on some miscellaneous grains, and he felt satisfied.
This is how it should be, only the whole grains can nourish people.
And this ingredient...
Compared with delicacies such as "Fu Shou Xi", Kangxi still preferred such down-to-earth ingredients.
Compared with the two full dining tables in front of the emperor, the table in front of the four princes was relatively simple.
A dinner plate was placed on the small table, with a bowl of plain noodles on it, and two small bowls next to it, one meat and one vegetarian, two stewed pork belly stewed and black fungus tofu stewed; there were also four five-inch plates with two
There are four side dishes of meat and two vegetarian dishes. The two meat dishes are salt-fried pork and smooth chicken breast, and the two vegetarian dishes are spinach vermicelli and sweet and sour radish.
These four dishes are the standard dishes in the palace.
The four princes felt full after seeing it.
The fifth elder brother couldn't help but stretched his neck and looked at the dining table on the kang. There were so many plates.
The third elder brother felt that he should be more promising, but looking at the actions of the fifth elder brother across from him, he couldn't help but turn his head.
Kangxi sat cross-legged at the dining table, handed the towel to wipe his hands to Liang Jiugong, and asked to pick up the chopsticks.
Feeling the hot gaze below him, he looked at his sons below.
No one moved their chopsticks, and all four of them looked at me.
Huh?
Looking at your dining table?!
Lao Wu, what is that action?
Why did the third and seventh children also cause trouble?
Kangxi thought of his ninth elder brother and knew that this was "the one who is close to Mo is black".
Only the eighth prince was okay, he behaved and waited for me to pick up the chopsticks without showing any sign of salivating.
Kangxi felt disgusted with his son, so he raised his chopsticks, looked at everyone and said, "Eat!"
After that, he took the spring pancakes and planned to roll them himself and eat them.
When he looked at the side dishes, he chose shredded potatoes.
Potatoes were also stored in the palace last year, but due to improper storage, they sprouted. Later, they were divided and made into seeds, and a small potato garden was opened in the northeast corner of Changchun Garden.
There don’t seem to be many potatoes in the Ninth Prince’s Mansion. How are they preserved?
I don’t know how it tastes…
When he took it into his mouth, it actually had a crispy taste, and Kangxi knew it.
These are actually new potatoes. They were cultivated in a greenhouse and moved outdoors when they are half grown, so the harvest time is two months earlier.
The four at the bottom also raised their chopsticks.
The fifth elder brother was hungry, so he put the pork belly stew directly on the noodle bowl and looked at the rice box in front of the emperor to eat.
The third brother also brought up chopsticks, but they were not enough for this dish, so he picked up the radish skins in boredom.
The seventh elder brother also slowed down, eager to eat the noodles one by one.
The eighth prince felt strange.
He had never paid much attention to food, so he didn't quite understand everyone's reaction at first, but the fifth elder brother's greedy face was clearly visible on his face, so he understood it.
He was very speechless.
Is this intentional?
Deliberately pretending to be greedy and lazy?
Kangxi ate a spring pancake and a small rice bag, and that was about it.
The two saving plates still looked as if they had not been touched.
Kangxi pointed to the two storage boxes and ordered the eunuch serving the kitchen: "Bring it to the table and let the brothers have a taste."
The eunuch serving the dining room responded and carried down the dining table with two plates on it and placed it on the Eight Immortals table.
The fifth elder brother couldn't wait, but he looked at the third elder brother.
After hearing this, the third elder brother stood up, looked at Kangxi and said: "Khan Ama, what about the sons?"
Kangxi nodded.
Others followed suit, and the four of them arrived at the Eight Immortals table.
Third Brother said: "It looks rich. There are even rice and vegetables. Try it..."
As he said this, he hesitated between spring cakes and rice dumplings, and chose spring cakes, half with scrambled eggs and half with chives and bean sprouts. After one bite, it was crispy and fragrant.
The fifth elder brother also took action. He also chose spring pancakes, sandwiched bacon directly, and picked two pieces of fat pork belly. He also ate with satisfaction.
The seventh brother made a rice dumpling with beef sauce. It was not like eating noodles just now. It was a big rice dumpling with a fist, and only half of it was eaten in one bite.
The eighth prince watched the three of them feasting and felt out of place.
This feels like a home-cooked side dish, is it so delicious?
You also eat them with your hands. What’s wrong with this?
Indecent.
He hesitated for a while, then took a piece of spring pancake and stuffed it with scrambled eggs to eat.
At this time, the third brother had already finished a spring pancake and was thinking of a new way to eat it. The spring pancake was filled with cabbage leaves, beef sauce and shredded green onions, and it actually tasted good.
When the fifth elder brother saw it, he rolled shredded potatoes and bacon in cabbage leaves and ate it deliciously.
Seeing this, the seventh prince also started to mix and match.
The eighth prince was standing by and saw the contents of the basket falling quickly.
He couldn't help but look back at the kang.
Kangxi was still sitting, holding the tea cup in his hand, and did not ask anyone to clear the dining table.
The three brothers were eating while standing, and it was not convenient for the eighth brother to go back and sit down, nor to put down his chopsticks.
He ate slowly, and after eating three spring pancakes and the half bowl of noodles just now, he was seventy percent full, so the others slowed down.
All the vegetables in the box were gone.
Fifth Brother freed up his right hand and tugged on his belt.
The third elder brother also felt overwhelmed. He looked at the three younger brothers and saw that everyone was about the same, and said: "Then, let's taste this first?"
The fifth elder brother nodded with satisfaction.
Starting tomorrow, he plans to ask his kitchen to make spring pancake plates as well. Instead of eating mixed-flour spring pancakes, he will eat white-flour spring pancakes, which will be paired directly with sauced pork ribs and braised pork sausage. It will definitely be delicious.
The seventh prince's expression remained unchanged, but he felt regretful in his heart. He couldn't stop for a moment and was very full.
The eighth prince looked at the half-empty saving plate and was speechless.
This is called tasting?!
Why do brothers eat so much?
He was a little unsure. Could it be that he had neglected riding and shooting in the past two years and his appetite had not improved, so others were practicing riding and shooting in private?
The four of them returned to their previous seats and were dumbfounded looking at the noodles in front of them.
This is the food given by the emperor, so you must finish it.
Even my son is no exception.
The noodle bowl is a sea bowl. It is not full of noodles, but it is still full of half the bowl.
Kangxi looked at everyone's reactions and had no intention of speaking.
Should!
How old are they all? Do they all have a strong appetite for food?
Seeing Kangxi's reaction, the four of them had no choice but to pick up the noodle bowls.
Only Eighth Prince was doing better. He only had half a bowl of noodles left, and he was only about seventy percent full before.
Everyone else, everyone else was very full, their stomachs felt heavy even when they were sitting, and their throats and eyes felt itchy even when they were holding noodle bowls.
However, the three of them didn't even think about asking for mercy, they just went in and ate it.
After eating, the fifth elder brother’s eyes were wet.
He regretted that he shouldn't have poured all the meat marinade into the noodles. It was salty and greasy.
The third elder brother also wants to give himself a slap in the face. He can just try it, so why are he greedy?
Now that this worldly retribution has come, my stomach is feeling hard.
After a good and decent meal, the emperor's father saw the joke.
You won't make a note of it, will you?
It seems that everyone is not very stable.
There was nothing visible on Brother Seventh's face, but he was sweating on his forehead after eating. Looking at it like that, he also felt a little strenuous to eat.
After the four of them put down their bowls, Kangxi signaled the eunuchs to clear the dining table, then looked at the four of them and said, "You don't have to come over tomorrow morning. You can arrange your own shifts and take turns in the palace."
All four people stood up and responded.
Kangxi snorted softly and said: "Kneel down!"
The four of them then retreated.
After leaving Qingxi Bookstore, Third Brother went to loosen his belt.
If you don't loosen it, it won't work anymore, and you will panic if you tighten it.
The seventh elder brother said: "I'll go to the check-in room first..."
After that, he was about to go to the guard camp to check in, but his movements were a bit steady and he didn't walk fast.
Seeing this, the fifth elder brother hurriedly asked: "How about I go to the head office to change my clothes?"
Qingxi Bookstore is to the north of Changchun Garden, and the duty room in the Guard Camp is to the south. The distance is not close.
On the contrary, Beitou Institute is just a few steps away from Xiaodongmen, one less step away.
The seventh elder brother shook his head and continued to walk away.
The third elder brother touched his stomach, but still felt uncomfortable, and said: "Fifth brother, I will go to the head office with you."
It's not about changing clothes, it's about vomiting.
It was difficult to digest the noodles after eating them, and he was afraid that his stomach would hurt if he didn't spit them out.
Ever since he started drinking last summer, his stomach has been a little weak and he can't stand it.
The fifth elder brother nodded and said: "Go ahead and get closer than anywhere else."
Brother Ba was by his side and he didn't know whether he should leave or go to Beitou Station as well.
The fifth elder brother also had no intention of greeting anyone.
Third brother, on the other hand, is already thinking about scheduling.
The four of them happened to be in two shifts, so he and the fifth elder brother must be the main ones, with the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother as the auxiliaries.
As for how to match it, it is up to him and the fifth elder brother, the two older brothers, to decide.
He doesn’t want to be in the same class as Seventh Brother!
Seventh Brother, he can't see through it.
Since the year before last during his northern tour, he had been trying to show his kindness to Seventh Prince, but he was met with disappointment.
Over the past few years, he also understood that the seventh elder brother had other errands and was directly taking orders from the emperor, and he even wanted to keep away from him.
Otherwise, everything is under the nose of the seventh prince, then will everything be reported to the imperial court?
On the contrary, here is the Eighth Prince, who can compare his feelings with his own, and can probably feel his pulse, so he is more calm when faced with it.
He smiled at the eighth elder brother and said: "The eighth brother is going too, and we will return to Beijing together in a while..."
"Um!"
The eighth prince agreed.
The fifth elder brother did not say anything against it and took the two of them back to Beitou.
Seeing the eunuch and grandma packing their luggage in the study room ahead, the fifth elder brother frowned and said, "Why is it so messy?"
The eunuch in charge said: "Master, this is the Queen Mother's order, asking the master to return to the capital to save you the trouble."
As he spoke, he talked about the Queen Mother's visit to the Five Residences for dinner and the Queen Mother's instructions.
The fifth elder brother's brows widened and he said, "Then just clean it up."
He didn't even think of this.
When the third elder brother entered the courtyard, he ran to clean the room and was no longer in front of him.
The eighth elder brother was nearby and when he heard that the Queen Mother went to the fifth house, he knew that she was going to see the "auspicious" great-grandson.
triplets...
The ninth elder brother and his wife, the fifth elder brother and his wife, the fourth elder brother and his wife, the tenth elder brother and his wife, and the seventh elder brother and his wife have all been to Hongluo Temple.
Should he also go to Hongluo Temple?
The eight blessings are that the Jin palace is cold and it is difficult to conceive, so it will be useless if you bring it; but if you bring the Fucha family, it will be a slap in the face of the county and prince's palace.
What if they all go?
This seems to be the only way.
The eighth prince knows that gods and Buddhas are very illusory, but he also hopes to be blessed by Buddha.
Otherwise, he would be embarrassed when the Tenth Prince and his wife made some noise.
At this time, the third elder brother came out of the clean room, vomited out a bowl of noodles, and finally felt much better.
He thought of the twelfth elder brother, and he seemed to be like an older brother. He ordered the eunuch beside him: "Go to the fifth place and ask if the twelfth elder brother has left. If he hasn't left, he will come back to the city with us."
The eunuch went away in response, and soon returned, followed by Brother Jiu.
"The twelfth brother has been gone for two-quarters of an hour. I asked Erhe to bring some guards to send him away..."
The banquets in Bei Wu Suo were served early and left early.
The Queen Mother did not want to stay outside for too long. After lunch and a nap, she was sent back to the North Garden by her grandchildren.
I didn’t stay too long with the twelfth elder brother. I told the ninth elder brother and went back to the city.
The third elder brother looked at the ninth elder brother and said, "Why do you always have beef at home?"
In winter, beef can be frozen and preserved.
Fresh beef is not easy to come by at this time.
Brother Jiu proudly said: "I, Fujin, love to eat beef. My father-in-law raised a herd of cattle outside my mouth and brought back two cows every month. Now I still have a few cows in Baiwangshan Villa..."
The third elder brother was jealous after hearing this.
Such a good father-in-law, if God doesn't care, why did he give it to the ninth elder brother?
