Friends who have seen Ru Yichuan should know that Yi Huan is very fond of the emperor, and once he met the emperor outside the palace and fell in love with the emperor at first sight, so he turned entering the palace to accompany the emperor into his lifelong wish and obsession.
She admired the emperor, admired the emperor, and read and read the emperor's imperial poems on weekdays, even if the degree of singing of those poems was not enough to pass on to future generations, she still liked them tightly.
The emperor was scabies before the death of the noble concubine, so she braved the rain to hang a prayer flag, prayed for blessings in the Anhua Hall every day, and made a blessing bag for the emperor. However, because the empress took care of the emperor alone and did not let others intervene, Yi Huan's blessing bag was stopped, and perhaps even the matter of braving the rain to pray for the emperor's blessing may not be able to reach the emperor's ears.
Yi Huan was so obsessed, but he didn't know that he had never approached the emperor's heart. Because he painstakingly entered the palace and took the path of the empress, he must have been guarded by the emperor, the new emperor took the throne, his wings were not yet strong, and all the forces were a threat to him, so Yi Huan was naturally also taken as a thorn in the eye.
In order to avoid her from conceiving a child, the emperor replaced her placenta pill with a contraceptive pill, not only to be sent by the Baogong himself but also to watch her drink it.
At that time, Yi Huan was immersed in her own love and could not extricate herself, there was no palace fight and politics in her love, only the emperor, so she thought that the emperor was looking forward to having a love crystal with her to do so, and even took the "placenta pill" as a gift.
On this day, the news of the empress's joy spread to the palaces, and Yi Huan and Ruyi sighed that every time they went to bed, the emperor would send a fetal medicine, but he never had an heir, and Yi Huan thought that it was because of his weakness. Ruyi didn't think much of it at first, and persuaded her that the empress was also nursed for many years before she could get pregnant.
After Yi Huan drank the fetal medicine sent by Gonggong Bao, Ruyi instructed her to quickly eat sweet to remove the bitter taste from her mouth. Yi Huan picked up the snacks on the table and said, "This is the Xishi tongue of Zhuji, sweet and timeless, and the concubines like these hometown snacks the most." ”
After hearing this, Ru Yi ridiculed huankou's hometown, not like a Manchurian gege, but like the Jiangnan boudoir that came out of Zhujili.
Zhuji is now the location of Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, China, which belongs to the north-central part of Zhejiang Province, bordering Hangzhou to the north, Shaoxing to the east, and Yiwu to the south. Therefore, Ruyi will say that Zhuji came out of Jiangnan Girl Xiu.
Zhuji has a long history and a collection of humanities, is the hometown of Yueguo, the hometown of Xishi, and is also one of the ancient Yue ethnic settlements, the place where the Yue king conspired to restore the country, and the Qin king ruled for twenty-five years, set up Zhuji County, which belonged to Huiji County. Zhuji is the birthplace of Yue culture. In the past, there was a flourishing area in Qiantang.
The Xishi tongue is a specialty of Zhuji.
There is a dish called "Xi Shi Tongue", which is made from a seafood shell called "sand clam". This non-clam non-mussel shellfish, in the form of a thick triangular fan, small and delicate, the shell is light yellowish brown, the top is a little purple, open the shell, there is a small piece of white flesh spit out. Because when the shell is opened, the white flesh spit out is like a small tongue, which is inevitably reminiscent of a lot, so it is called "Xi Shi Tongue".
It is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, King Gou of Yue used the power of the beautiful woman Xi Shi to use the beauty plan to destroy the State of Wu, and the overall situation was established, and the King of Yue wanted to take Xi Shi back to China, but the queen of the Yue King was afraid that Xi Shi would be favored and threaten his position when he returned to China. So he told someone to tie a boulder to Xi Shi's back and sink her at the bottom of the river. After Xi Shi died, she transformed into this shellfish "sand clam", expecting someone to find her, so she spat out a small tongue of lilac and complained about her grievances.
However, what Yi Huan said about Xi Shi Tongue was a kind of dim sum.
Pastry chefs use the hanging pulp technique, first using glutinous rice flour to make water milling powder, and then wrapping water milling powder into the filling of jujube puree, walnut meat, osmanthus flowers, green plums and other more than a dozen kinds of fruit materials, pressing and molding in a tongue mold, soup boiling or frying can be. This dim sum is as sweet and refreshing as the moon.
In addition to Xi Shi tongue, there are several foods related to Xi Shi.
In the countryside on the banks of the Wuhuan River in Zhuji, there has always been a very characteristic and delicious dim sum - Xishi reunion cake. A flat round cake made by hand, using pure and fine flour or buckwheat flour as the skin, mixed with mountainous crisp radish, shallots, peppers and fresh pork as the filling.
It is fried and eaten over low heat, and its taste is refreshing but not greasy, spicy but not heavy, fragrant and fresh, and it is deeply loved by the local people. Every New Year's Festival, weddings and birthdays, this snack is indispensable between the banquets. Many foreign guests, once they arrive here, taste the best points, they will definitely eat and never forget.
There is also a dish of Xishi tofu, which is also a traditional flavor dish in Zhuji, Zhejiang, whether it is to build a house, celebrate the New Year, or marry, birthday, celebration, funeral feast, will become the first dish on the table.
Legend has it that when the Qianlong Emperor traveled to Jiangnan, he came to Zhuji with his favorite minister Liu Yong on a private visit, and the two of them traveled to Ruan with all their hearts, strolling to the small village at the foot of the Ramadan Mountain, only to see that the farmhouse had been cooked with smoke, Fang felt hungry in his stomach, after eating at a farmhouse and enjoying "Xishi tofu", he couldn't help but hit the table and even claimed to be wonderful, smelled the name of its dish, "good one Xishi tofu", and blurted out praise.
These delicacies sound very memorable, and it is no wonder that Yi Huan is obsessed with them.
