Chapter 198: Eating Lantern Festival

"What? And such things? Zheng Mingen's tone rose suddenly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the only surviving husky on the ground, and said, "Lord Wang, this person is the person who pretended to be the Tibetan mission?" ”

"Not bad!" Li Yuanba nodded and continued: "He should be the leader of this group, that's why this king spared his life, maybe he can get something out of his mouth!" ”

"Lord Wang, do you want the last general to take him back to Zuo Wuwei's mansion for a good interrogation?" Zheng Mingen looked at Li Yuanba and said.

Li Yuanba shook his head and said, "No! This king will take care of this! All you need to do now is clean up this place! ”

At the end of the day, the corners of Li Yuanba's mouth turned up slightly, and he said: "By the way, Zheng Baiqi, you sent the corpses of these soldiers to the Guanyi in Tubo, and said that this king cooked a group of guys pretending to be their Tubo soldiers for them!" Sue them, don't thank this king! ”

How did Zheng Mingen know that this was boring, and when he heard Li Yuanba's instructions, without saying a word, he began to ask his subordinates to find carts and buckets to clean up the ground.

Li Yuanba nodded to Zheng Mingen, turned around, and looked at Ge Dazhuang, who was already stunned.

This Ge Dazhuang is an ordinary small trader, who relies on pouring some jade to supplement his family on weekdays. Where had he ever seen such a big battle, and what kind of envoy was the prince, the general.

And most importantly, dead people!

Fang just beat him alive and beat his more than 30 people, and all of them died in the blink of an eye, and if they died, they died in vain, and they didn't pay for their lives!

"Ge Dazhuang, this is your jade, right?"

Li Yuanba took a small piece of jade about the size of a baby's palm, white as snow from Cheng Fu's hand, and said to Ge Dazhuang.

Although Li Yuanba doesn't understand jade. But whether it is from the feel or from the density, this is definitely a good piece of sheep fat jade.

Ge Dazhuang came back to his senses and looked at the piece of jade. Said: "Lord Wang, it is this jade!" ”

"Hmm!" Li Yuanba nodded. Suddenly, he glanced at Li Su with a smile and said, "What, do you like it?" ”

Li Su's shining eyes suddenly stopped, he touched the back of his head a little embarrassed, and said, "Hehe, yes!" My nephew is very fond of it! ”

"Okay, this piece of jade will be given to you!" Li Yuanba immediately threw what he had in his hand to Li Su.

Ge Dazhuang saw this. His face suddenly became bitter, he really just came out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolves!

Yes, it seems that today's piece of fine jade has been lost!

Li Yuanba naturally would not do such a shameless forcible thing, he saw Ge Dazhuang's face depressed, and immediately said with a smile: "Ge Dazhuang, don't worry, I, Li Yuanba, will never ask for your things in vain!" Cheng Fu ......"

"Lord Wang!" Cheng Fu took a step forward and said.

Li Yuanba instructed Cheng Fu: "When you return home, you go to Bai Fu and tell him to give Ge Dazhuang fifty taels of silver and fifty yuan." In addition, he will buy him a house in Pingkangfang! This should be worth the value of that piece of jade, right? ”

As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Sheep fat jade seed material is indescribably expensive, but it is always a valuable thing.

If Li Yuanba directly gave too much money to Ge Dazhuang. Then don't let someone with a heart do something to Ge Dazhuang halfway to make money and kill him?

Well, now, although fifty taels of silver and fifty yuan are still a bit too much for Ge Dazhuang, but this is only on the surface, don't forget that there is also a mansion in Pingkangfang, and it was personally given by His Royal Highness the Venerable King Wu of the Tang Dynasty.

With this relationship, who would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head and take the risk to rob Ge Dazhuang?

Li Yuanba saw that Ge Dazhuang didn't speak, and thought that Ge Dazhuang was not satisfied with this bartering method, so he asked out loud: "What." Don't you want to? If you don't want to, this king can directly give you 10,000 taels of gold! ”

"Ah...... Willing. Willing! The grass people thank the prince for the reward! ”

Where does Ge Dazhuang disagree, he is completely blindfolded!

Pingkangfang. It's on the verge of the East Market, and the house is ridiculously expensive, and it's not that you can buy it if you have money. Now that His Royal Highness King Wu has both rewarded money and house, Ge Dazhuang is too late to get it? And how can you refuse?

"Okay, you follow this king back to the palace, and when you get to the palace, someone will arrange a qiē for you!"

After Li Yuanba finished speaking, he turned around and led the group of children in the direction of the Wuwang Mansion.

Didn't get the kids out of the fun?

You can pull it down! All the children's interest has been disturbed by the bloody scene just now, not to mention whether their stomachs are still churning now, I am afraid that they will return to the palace later, and they will not be clamoring to eat braised pork and iron lion heads.

As for the husky, which has been unconscious, I don't know when it has disappeared.

……

Sure enough, it was exactly what Li Yuanba thought.

In addition to the three brothers Li Ke, Li Su and Li Hun, the little ones still have to eat*, they can only have a bitter little face, wrapped in a thick and warm cloak, sitting in the back garden, surrounded by a giant brazier, you and I say a word, lazily chatting.

Li Yuanba looked at this group of little guys and said in his heart: "Nima, uncle is still too soft-hearted!" Although they will have to go through this sooner or later, it seems that this is a bit early! ”

Shaking his head secretly, Li Yuanba suddenly remembered that in his previous life, every fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the old men in the family would shake the Lantern Festival by themselves.

The earliest record of eating Lantern Festival in history is found in the Song Dynasty, when the Lantern Festival was called 'floating balls'. Judging from the records of historical materials such as "The Unification of the Ming Dynasty", the Lantern Festival as a seasonal food for celebrating the Lantern Festival began in the Song Dynasty.

After going through the method of making the Lantern Festival in his mind, Li Yuanba threw away the back kitchen, asked the chef who cooked in the house to grind a large jar of rice noodles, and then asked him to mix the fillings with sugar, and then cut the fillings into small cubes, and then dipped them in water and rice noodles, put them in a special bamboo sieve and shook them for a while.

After that, it was dipped in water and then shaken, so that it was like a snowball, and the sugar filling was originally only the size of the middle finger nail, but after a few sieves, it became nearly half an inch in diameter.

After cooking this Lantern Festival from the back kitchen, he took a few kinds of pastries carefully developed by the chef of the house and came to the back garden.

Looking at the little eunuchs behind Li Yuanba, when she walked into the back garden with porcelain bowls one by one, Princess Qinghe said weakly: "Uncle Four Emperors, what are these bowls?" Why does it smell so big of rice noodles? ”

"Uncle Four Emperors, we can't eat anything now! Didn't you mean to be greedy for us? Li Zhen was embarrassed by that fat face, and she had no resentment against Li Yuanba for a long time.

Li Yuanba laughed and said, "It's rare that you little gluttonous cats still don't eat when they don't eat!" This thing is simple to make, sweet and delicious. Although it may not satisfy your appetites, it is the best insight to fill your stomach! “

"So amazing?"

Completely unaffected by the bloody scene, Li Su, who had already eaten and drunk enough, suddenly came to his senses, and directly got up and picked up a porcelain bowl from the tray of a small eunuch.

I saw that there was a bowl of clear soup in the porcelain bowl, and there were five round, white balls in the water, which were about the size of two thumbnails, and even looked a little cute.

"I'll try it first!" Li Su picked up the spoon on the side of the porcelain bowl, and without saying a word, he fished out a Lantern Festival, and poured the soup into his mouth with the Lantern Festival.

"Whew......"

As soon as the Lantern Festival entered, Li Yin jumped to his feet and shouted, startling Li Yuanba and them.

Li Yuanba glared at Li Su angrily, and said, "You stinky boy, just eat, what's the ghost called?" ”

"Scald, scalded me, Uncle Four Emperors, is there any cold water!" Li Su pointed to his mouth, jumping up and down like a monkey, it seemed that this time he really burned him.

"You kid, you deserve it!" Li Yuanba shook his head helplessly, and ordered a little eunuch to take out a large pot of cold white boiling.

"Goo-dong, goo-dong......"

Li Su didn't bother to use the bowl, so he directly picked up the big pot and poured it, thinking that this guy was drinking.

"How is it, Sixth Brother, is that thing delicious?" Li Zhi, this kid seems to have a fate with food in this life, Li Su just relieved himself, this kid couldn't wait to come over, looked at Li Su with blinking eyes, and asked.

Li Su smashed his mouth twice, and carefully reflected on it for a while before he said, "Woo! It's so hot, I forgot what it tasted like, I'll try it again! ”

Burst!

Li Yuanba, who was looking down and tasting the rice balls he made with his own hands, almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

This kid is such a spoof, you said you didn't taste what it tasted like, just say okay, and try it again? People don't have tongues themselves, huh?

Sure enough, after Xiao Li Zhi looked at Li Yu for a while, he directly took his own bowl of Lantern Festival, lowered his head and counted it, took out a Lantern Festival and blew it carefully, and then carefully put it in his mouth.

The rich fragrance of rice noodles, the soft and glutinous taste, and the sweet but not greasy filling are blended together in the mouth, and the little guy's eyes suddenly brighten, and the handsome little face is full of smiles.

Because of this Lantern Festival, it didn't make him feel nauseous, this thing is really a good thing!

So, Li Zhi went down with another spoonful, scooped up the Lantern Festival one by one, and threw it into his mouth.

Seeing Li Zhi's movements, the other princes and princesses couldn't hold back any longer, first tasted one, and then turned into a vicious wolf, as if they had never eaten a full meal in their lives, and devoured it.

"Uncle Four Emperors, what is this thing called, it's delicious!" Princess Qinghe kept chewing with her small mouth and muttered.

Li Yuanba looked up at the full moon above the sky and said: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, the Shangyuan Festival is also known as the Lantern Festival, and the things in this bowl are called 'Lantern Festival'!" (To be continued)
