Of course, the little emperor didn't praise Lin Yanchao at the first time, but said: "Speaker Lin, I remember that you once talked about planting pines and cypresses in barren land, poor children studying, and your wife cooks such delicacies every day, and she doesn't know how to cherish them, but she is used to it, so she can't help but forget the hardships of studying when you were young." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "This is indeed mine, in the past few years, it has all been thanks to the grace of the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven appreciates it, otherwise how can there be meat today." But Zhu Gongzi reminded me today, and I will be cautious in the future. ”

This is another sycophant, singing thanksgiving, singing praise.

Meat is also a second-class meaning, one refers to the lychee meat in this plate, and the other refers to high-ranking officials.

In ancient times, only the princes of the Son of Heaven could eat meat, and there was a saying that meat eaters sought it for national affairs. Lin Yanchao's words are also loyal, without the Son of Heaven, where can he have his own today, thanks to the appreciation of the Son of Heaven.

The little emperor nodded when he heard this, Gao Huai and Zhang Whale looked at Lin Yanchao, and then at Lin Yanshou, and couldn't help but think that they were all brothers at the same time, why is there such a big gap between the two?

The little emperor liked this lychee meat very much, and immediately instructed Gao Huai: "Mix this meat juice into this taro rice." ”

"Yes." Gao Huai responded.

Gao Huai filled a small bowl of rice with a spoon, and the little emperor said unhappily: "More and more." ”

Gao Huai said yes, filled the bowl to the brim, and then poured the soup from the lychee meat on the plate on top of the rice.

"Add some more meat." The little emperor urged.

Gao Huai immediately did as ordered, and there were no more pieces of lychee meat on the plate as soon as the meat was added.

But the little emperor was still not satisfied, and took a bite of the meat, revealing an extremely comfortable expression while grilling rice.

Lin Qianqian on the side, Chen Jichuan was surprised, how could this son of heaven seem to be a fake. An emperor is rich all over the world, and he should be delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and he will be hungry for a piece of meat.

Lin Yanshou sighed, this little fat man is so pitiful, he hasn't even eaten a piece of lychee meat. But it's not right, how can an ordinary family who doesn't eat meat raise a fat man these days.

Lin Yanshou's guess is also correct, in addition to the rich and noble families these days, it is difficult for ordinary people to eat meat, how can they be fat.

Lin Yanshou showed a sudden look at this moment, oh, I understand, this little fat man must be in the middle of the family, the family was originally in a good situation, but now he can't even eat meat...... Thinking about it this way, my brother probably has an old acquaintance with the adults of his family, and he remembers the old relationship, so he takes care of one or two and invites him to dinner.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanshou couldn't help but feel a little sympathy.

The little emperor sighed: "The food at home, if someone wants to try it, it is all cold, and there is less oil and less salt, and I don't have much appetite for eating on weekdays, but it is the food at your house, I eat it deliciously." ”

When everyone heard it, they were also stunned.

Everyone understands differently, the Son of Heaven eats dozens of dishes at a time, and in order to prevent people from being poisoned, he must first let the palace people try the food.

After the people who try the food eat, they will serve it to the Son of Heaven to eat, and at that time the food is cold, that is, the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and it is not as good as a hot meal. Not to mention that although the imperial meal is precious, the taste has always been light. likes oil and heavy tastes, and the little emperor who eats a little fat man certainly doesn't like to eat it.

But Lin Yanshou sounded different, he touched his chin and pondered: "This person's family is so poor right now, he actually eats leftovers every day, and there is not even an oil star in the meal......"

After Lin Yanshou finished speaking, the little emperor looked at Lin Yanshou with slanted eyes.

Zhang Whale, Gao Huai's eyes were about to burst into flames.

As for Lin Qianqian, Chen Jichuan couldn't wait to strangle Lin Yanshou to death in court.

Lin Yanchao immediately said: "Brother, what do you say, do you know that you are ...... right?"

"That's it, that's it." The little emperor said with a twitch on his face.

Lin Yanshou said with sympathy on his face for the little emperor: "I don't mean anything else, I just empathize." Our family was not rich before, but we also had lychee meat to eat. ”

"If you are free in the future, you might as well come to the door more, I have something to eat, and you will never miss it. You don't need to be sad, the Holy Son of Heaven is in the court today, and as long as the people are diligent, everyone can have enough food and clothing. In the future, you will find a good livelihood and support yourself, and you will be able to live a good life again. ”

The people present couldn't laugh or cry.

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, my brother's words are remarkable, the real sycophant is a big skill.

Lin Yanchao peeked at the little emperor's eyes, and also attached an explanation: "Brother, he doesn't understand affairs, please ...... son."

The little emperor waved his hand to Lin Yanchao and said: "That's it, I think it's true when I hear a lot of false words on weekdays, but it's easy to listen to a truth today, but it's rare." Your cousin said very well, "Everyone in the people is diligent and has enough food and clothing...... I have gained, and it is my wish. ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, the little emperor is really a benevolent and virtuous king.

"In a word, give your cousin a seat!" The little emperor said.

Gao Huai, Zhang Whale is about to cry, Lin Yanshou is sitting like this, this person is really a genius.

The little emperor had a good appetite, so he swept all the lychee meat that Lin Qianqian had made, then stroked his belly and said with a smile: "I have eaten the most here this year." ”

Lin Qianqian's face was full of smiles, but he didn't expect that with his skills, he would let his husband have light in front of the Son of Heaven, and said: "Gongzi Xie praises, and the slave family deserves it." ”

The little emperor laughed, and said to Zhang Whale: "It seems that this meal can't be eaten in vain, go back and take the three anchovies and give them to Speaker Lin." ”

Zhang Whale said yes.

This move seems to be the Son of Heaven giving 'food money', but Lin Yanchao doesn't know that he can't see it this way.

What is an anchovy? That's a royal tribute!

This anchovy tastes extremely delicious, Zhang Ailing once said that there are three major hatreds in life, the dream of Red Mansions is not finished, the begonias have no fragrance, and there is one thing that there are many anchovy bones.

Anchovy is not only delicious, but also rare.

On the Yangtze River, anchovies are only available in April every year, and then transported thousands of miles to Beijing for the Son of Heaven to eat.

In order to ensure the freshness of the anchovies, the officials escorted by the imperial court along the road set up an ice cellar every 30 miles to hold the fish.

In addition, several thousand horses were to be prepared, and thousands of men were to be served, and the anchovies were to be chilled on ships, and on land they were to be ordered to speed up their horses, as if they were sending an urgent military situation for 800 miles, one station after another. That's right, it's this anchovy that enjoys the same treatment as the lychee that Yang Guifei ate back then.

Thanks to this 100-mile expedited effort, the anchovy netted in the Yangtze River in April will arrive in Beijing in May.

Except for the fresh anchovies, which were tasted by the Son of Heaven, the rest of the anchovies were stored in the royal ice cellars, and one was used when they were to be eaten.

In addition to the Son of Heaven in the capital, this anchovy can only be enjoyed by Da Jue and noble relatives, and ordinary officials don't want to eat it. Every time the Son of Heaven gives a minister an anchovy, it is worthy of a special book, and the most generous since the Son of Heaven ascended the throne is only given to officials above the third rank official.

On weekdays, ministers of the imperial court, such as Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing at this level, only rewarded one tail during the Son of Heaven Festival, and two tails for him to take home to eat.

And the Son of Heaven gave Lin Yanchao three tails in one go, not only to value him, but to treat him as a confidant.
