Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 93 Texas
As soon as they arrived in Shandong, they quickly felt the difference in customs and customs.

The peddlers on the street peddled loudly and falteringly.

Chen Wenxin heard it in the car, "Leopard steamed buns fight silly treasure!"

"Husband, listen!"

Chen Wenxin lifted a corner of the curtain of the car, peeked outside, and said to the emperor, "Tell me, I still know this leopard. What is Dou Sha Bao?"

The emperor didn't understand it at first, but he understood the word steamed bun.

"It should be steamed buns, steamed buns, bean paste buns, right?"

Chen Wenxin really found the source of the cries. She saw a peddler on the side of the street open a steaming steamer, which was full of buns and steamed buns.

"Husband is so powerful, you can hear it all!"

Thousands of wears and thousands of flattery, Chen Wenxin started flattering again.

The emperor liked her and raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Listen again!"

The carriage passed half a street, Chen Wenxin covered his mouth with his fingers, signaling the emperor to listen to the movement outside.

A thick, middle-aged male voice was yelling, "Yeah! Yitoubing, yeah! Yitoubing!"

Chen Wenxin laughed out loud, as if all the exhaustion of the journey had disappeared.

This peddler barking is so funny.

That "Yeah!" I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, why I like to compare myself with scissorhands when I take pictures with girls in my previous life, and the voice I shouted is so similar.

"Husband, did you hear it?"

The emperor frowned, shook his head and smiled, "I can't hear it this time either."

The peddler's yelling was generally funny, but Chen Wenxin laughed so hard that the emperor found it funny!

Chen Wenxin knocked on the car door, Li Dequan and Xiao Lizi were sitting outside the car door, Li Dequan hurriedly opened the car door a crack. "What is the master's order?"

The emperor said: "Go and ask, what is that thick man selling?"

Chen Wenxin added figuratively: "That's the one! Yitoubing! Yay! Yitoubing!"

Li Dequan suppressed his laughter until his face turned red, he forced himself to close the car door, then lowered his head and silently opened his mouth to laugh loudly for two seconds.

Concubine Qin, really, really...

So interesting.

Xiao Lizi had never seen his master lose his composure like this, his eyes widened, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Li Dequan entrusted Xiao Lizi with the task of asking the burly man.

Xiao Lizi is still young, he has only been cleansed for a few years, and his voice has not changed too much.

Older eunuchs like Li Dequan have very sharp voices, and the voices will become sharper with age.

It would be easy for him to reveal his identity if he asked himself, so it's better to let Xiao Lizi ask.

Xiao Lizi thought about it, the emperor was traveling pretending to be a shopping merchant, he was rich but not expensive.When he goes to ask questions, he shouldn't be too grandiose, it's better to be modest.

He stepped forward and cupped his hands to the burly man, "Brother, may I ask what you're selling?"

Chen Wenxin and the emperor looked out through a small slit opened by the curtain of the car, and saw that the man was very happy to see Xiao Lizi approaching, probably thinking that Xiao Lizi came to buy something from him.

Then Xiao Lizi said something to him, and the man's expression changed.

"Why are you scolding people!"

The man pointed at Xiao Li aggressively, and then glanced at the carriage.Seeing that the style of these carriages seems to belong to wealthy families, it is not easy to offend them.

Xiao Lizi was very puzzled, why did he curse?

"Big brother..."

The peddler selling steamed stuffed buns next to him quickly interrupted him, "Is this customer a stranger? His accent sounds like he's from the imperial city."

"You don't know, we in Texas, we can't call you big brother when we meet."

This is also strange.

"Please enlighten me, what is the reason for this?"

Xiao Lizi took out a silver coin from his sleeve, pretending to buy his buns.

The steamed stuffed bun seller stared at the silver coin with a smile, and said, "It doesn't matter that we are in Texas, it's the same in many nearby cities."

"Big brother Wang Ba and second brother Gui, only third brother is a good man."

Xiao Lizi came back with this sentence, a big bag of steamed stuffed buns, and the things that the stout man was selling.

Instead, Chen Wenxin was not so interested in what the guy was selling, and she was more concerned about why the guy was angry.

Xiao Lizi repeated this sentence to her, "The peddler said, the eldest brother Wang Baerge and the second brother Gui, only the third brother is a good person. It's the custom here to call someone the third brother when they meet, that's good manners .”

Chen Wenxin had never heard of this custom, and even the emperor was very interested, "What is the name of that family?"

Xiao Lizi said: "The younger one asked, but the peddler said that the whole family is born of flesh and blood, so what should we call it?"

Chen Wenxin smiled and said, "Then the ones who rank first and second at home are really in bad luck."

Xiao Lizi stretched out an oiled paper bag and said, "Master and Madam, please look, this is what that burly man is selling."

As he spoke, he opened the oiled paper bag, and inside was a fried golden crispy pancake, still steaming.

Chen Wenxin picked up a piece and looked at it, "It's nothing special, why is it called Yeh! Yitoubing?"

Little Lizi smiled strangely.

"This pancake is called sun pancake. This guy is clumsy, so he just calls it sun pancake. When you read it in the local dialect, it becomes Yitou pancake."

Chen Wenxin suddenly realized, "Then what does that mean?"

Xiao Lizi's face turned into a liver color.

"Back... back to madam, um, it means hot..."

In other words, what the stout man shouted was not "Yeah! Yitoubing!", but "Hot Sunbread".

Chen Wen thought for a while, maybe all the sounds of day in the local dialect will be pronounced as intended?
Thinking hotly makes it easy, thinking day by day makes it easy.

Well, that should be it.

"Okay, little Lizi, back down."

The emperor really couldn't bear to see Xiao Lizi holding back his laughter until tears were about to come out, but Chen Wenxin didn't notice it yet.

She recalled the phrase about sun cakes...

It was so funny.

puff.

The emperor couldn't hold back in the end, and burst out laughing.

……

The emperor had something important to do in Dezhou, so he didn't inform the local inn or the government, but lodged on his own.

They are a large group of people who are really conspicuous, even if they can't fit in the inn, they will attract attention.

Therefore, the soldiers who were arranged in the local area in advance rented a courtyard with two entrances for shelter.

The dinner was rice noodles ordered from the best restaurant in Dezhou. After it was delivered, Li Dequan personally tested the poison with silver needles, and he tasted it and confirmed that it was all right before letting the emperor and the others eat it.

The emperor and her used their own bowls and chopsticks when they went out. After changing the rules in the palace, they all used silver tableware.

Not for anything else, just because if the food is poisonous, it can be found intuitively.

Living in such a small courtyard, it really looks like a team of wealthy merchants.

The emperor did not stick to etiquette, and asked Chen Wenyi, the two great scholars and Lu Meng to have dinner at the same table.

Everyone originally refused, but the emperor said: "Since I am visiting privately in a micro-clothes, everyone should be more at ease, and there is no need to be too formal."

The emperor said this several times along the way, and everyone saw that the emperor was not polite, so they gradually became less formal.

Chen Wenxin ate the Yitou pancakes and the big Shandong steamed stuffed buns bought by Xiao Lizi during the day, so she wasn't very hungry.

Sitting next to the emperor, she saw that many of the dishes on the table were local specialties, many of which she had never tasted before.

If she has never eaten it, she must try it!
If it's delicious, ask Bai Lu to write it down, and ask Yikun Palace's small kitchen to learn how to cook it after returning to the palace.

The emperor was not picky at all when he was out of the palace.

Not picky eaters are good, easy to raise.

Chen Wenxin was proud of the emperor's not being picky about food, and it was almost written on his face, "My man is so nice, are you jealous or not?"

The emperor was eating, when he looked up, he saw Chen Wenxin's complacent expression.

He would not know what Chen Wenxin was proud of.

There was a whole crispy golden chicken on the table, Chen Wenxin stared at it, Bai Lu stepped forward, and tore off a piece of meat with a silver fork.

Chen Wenxin picked up the meat that Bai Lu put in her bowl, and put it into her mouth.I only feel that the fragrance is strong and the gravy is delicious.

"Husband..."

She opened her mouth subconsciously, only to realize that everyone is sitting around a table today, and everyone can hear her voice clearly.

"I mean, this chicken tastes really good, everyone, try it."

She smiled to cover it up, and when everyone heard what she said, they all looked at the chicken.

Li Dequan gave Xiao Lizi a wink, and Xiao Lizi quickly started.Bai Lu also reacted and signaled Bai Shuang to do the same.

So many adults want to eat this, and they brought these four servants with them when they left the palace, so of course they had to be on top.

Because those grown-ups can't do things like a whole chicken by themselves.

Indecent, indecent.

Li Dequan first tore a piece for the emperor, "Master, this is the name of the most famous dish here, and it is a major dish in Lu cuisine. It is called Dezhou Braised Chicken."

The emperor chewed for a while, "Although the name is vulgar, fortunately the taste is not vulgar."

"Vulgarity is elegance."

Chen Wenxin smiled and stared at the Texas Braised Chicken, Bai Lu understood and continued to tear the meat for her.

The emperor smiled and said: "Elegance and vulgarity are alike, everyone have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we are going to do something extremely elegant."
