Bracken is endless, the emperor came to learn (seek), specifically to solve the crisis, thank the heavens (Tian) Ye! Know how to progress.

Longevity dish

The area around the Chengde Mulan Paddock is rich in well-known Local Specialties and Bracken. However, since the beginning of Qianlong, the local people have changed the name of bracken to longevity cuisine, and sang a song and ballad: "Bracken is endless, the emperor came to learn (seek), to solve the crisis, thank the heavens (Tian) Grandpa." "What's going on?

According to legend, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor would take hundreds of civil and military officials to the Chengde Mulan paddock every summer to hunt and learn martial arts. From Chengde To Mulan Yard, the journey from the Palace is through the Six Flags Thirty-six Battalions. It was still a rule handed down by the Kangxi Emperor, and every time he went to a camp, he had to take a sharp break. At this time, the leaders of the camp will come to pay homage and offer some gold, silver and treasure, or valuable things to show their loyalty.

This year, the Qianlong Emperor went hunting in the Mulan Paddock again. Whenever he went to a camp, the head of the people was either a pearl and emerald, a deer antler and a mink, and a good horse and a good foal, and a hunting dog. Qianlong turned around and turned to the last battalion, the Golden Wind Camp. The head of this camp is called Haitong. Don't look at Haitong is also a head man, he is not the same as other head people. He was kind-hearted and righteous. Often take out excess grain to help the people and do good things for the people. Hearing that the Qianlong Emperor had come again, the Haitong head was really worried, his own camp was already very poor, plus he had paid tribute for many years, and this year's grain harvest was in arrears, where was there anything to pay tribute? But paying tribute to the emperor is the historical rule, how dare you not enter? Straight to him sat restlessly, and overnight his eyebrows and beard were all white.

There is an old family member in Haitong's family named Tian Is not afraid. It is said that when Tian was young, he once broke into the deep mountains and old forests alone, killed a fierce tiger, captured a tiger boy alive, and eliminated the harm for the people. Later, people recited his name backwards and called it "not afraid of heaven." The old family saw that Haitong was sad for the tribute, and their hearts also felt cold and miserable. He looked at the people on the Phoenix Ridge who were picking bracken and sighed, the people have run out of grain, take bracken as rice, where is there any money to pay tribute?! Why don't you let the emperor eat some bracken as well? Thinking of this, Tian Ye suddenly moved in his heart: Yes, the emperor should also taste what the common people eat. So he had a plan. dance

Tian Ye immediately went to the account to meet With hai tong and said, "There is a way to pay tribute." "Haitong is worried that there is no way, as soon as he hears that he has a way, he quickly asks:·" What's the solution? Tell us about it. Tian Ye said unhurriedly, "Give the bracken one by one from the treasures produced in our mountains to the emperor." Hai Tong listened and suddenly lost his strength: "Alas, when is this, you still have time to tell jokes." "Face

Same book " is not a joke mile. You see, although this bracken is said to be a wild vegetable, it is as green as green, fragrant, smooth and delicious, and shaped like a dragon's whiskers. It can be called color, fragrance, taste, and shape. Bracken also has the effect of raising clear qi, lower turbidity, phlegm and vitality, and bright eyes. Don't look at the emperor eating delicious food in the palace all day long, but this bracken is not even heard. ”

The fading table Dou Yingsheng Haitong thought about it and felt that there was some truth, but he still said worriedly: "This is a joke with a brain shell, if the emperor knows that it is a wild vegetable that spreads over the mountains in the future, we both can't save our lives." Tian Ye wanted to open: "People" that is also worth it for everyone, and saves the trouble of paying tribute every year in the future. Hai Tong suddenly thought of something again: "No, the fern of this bracken is the same as the pronunciation of the word, which is not auspicious." Tian Ye said, "It's not easy to say, change it to a longevity dish, isn't it a great fortune!" ”

The next day, Hai Tong fearlessly took a small handful of freshly cut bracken to the imperial camp to pay tribute. When the emperor looked at it, Long Yan was furious and said indignantly: "Dare to use weeds to tease yuan, come, and push out the camp to behead." Immediately, two samurai came up, took off Haitong's Hanaxiang official hat and pushed it out.

Hai Tong calmed down at this time, and he suddenly laughed with his head held high. When the emperor looked at it, he asked strangely, "Why are you smiling when you are dying?" Hai Tong said loudly, "They all say that the Son of Heaven is wise, but it turns out that this is not the case." The Qianlong Emperor was most afraid that people would say that he could not do it, so he quickly asked people to put Haitong back and asked, "How can I say this?" Hai Tong said calmly, "Does Banzai know what I have contributed?" It was given by the Emperor Cang, and it was called longevity dish. This longevity dish smells fragrant, the food is tender and delicious, the entrance is moist and fresh, the lower stomach is clear, the turbidity is decreasing, it is often eaten, the eyes are bright, the face is like jade, there is no disease and longevity, it is the things used by the immortal family. ”

Qianlong listened, and carefully read the bracken again, and sure enough, it was tender and lovely, extraordinary, and his face eased down: "So, what you have contributed is indeed a treasure?" Hai Tong said solemnly: "It is absolutely true, please be discerning." He also said, "The subject has a hundred-year-old family, who is good at cooking longevity dishes and is ready to be used by the Banzai Emperor at any time." Qianlong immediately sent down his will to summon Tian Ye and taste it on the spot.

Tian Ye was summoned to the imperial tent and brought two pheasants to offer to the emperor, who ordered him to make longevity dishes immediately.

Tian Ye first peeled the pheasant, simmered it in soup, and then slowly and methodically mixed the seasoning.

The emperor began to receive Haitong in the morning, and in the blink of an eye it was already noon, and when he saw that the imperial meal had not yet arrived, he asked people to urge him. Tian Ye said, "Long live you wait patiently for a while, longevity dishes need to be simmered, and you can't be in a hurry." "An hour has passed, and the emperor is already hungry, and he has sent someone to urge him." Tian Ye said, "It's not yet the fire, we have to wait." After another hour, the emperor felt hungry and panicked, and when he saw that the imperial meal had not yet been served, he raised his eyebrows in anger, and was just about to have a seizure, only to see the door of the tent open widely, and a plate of steaming food was served, and in the middle of a shining five-inch silver plate, there were three or five pieces of dragon's tooth-like pheasant slices and more than a dozen jasper-like longevity dishes, arranged into a shou character. Qianlong couldn't wait to pick up a bracken and put it in his mouth, and before he could enter it, he smelled the aroma of the spleen and stomach, and when he entered his mouth, it was crisp and smooth and tender, and it really had a unique flavor. Before he could taste it again, the dish had already entered his stomach, and his appetite was suddenly aroused, and he would eat the five-inch silver plate clean in a moment. After the meal, Qianlong felt refreshed, well, this longevity dish is indeed a treasure! Qianlong was extremely happy, and immediately announced Haitong and Tian Ye, rewarding him with gold and asking Haitong to contribute more longevity dishes to bring back to the palace for slow enjoyment. Hai Tong thought to himself, this bracken is all over the mountain, how much is it. He was just about to say yes, only to hear Tian Ye next to him play: "Long live, this longevity dish grows in phoenix ridge, next to the Maoxian Pond, every year in midsummer can produce more than ten trees, when there are only three or five trees, it is really rare." The emperor regretted for half a day, and said, "In the future, you will take these dozen longevity vegetables to pay tribute to Yuanjin." ”

Bracken has solved the great problem for the people of the Golden Wind Camp. Now, bracken is not only loved by locals, but also exported in large quantities and is famous all over the world.
