- Chapter 167: [Cold Melon]
Looking for hippo niece to judge your Go rank?
That¡¯s bullying her, okay?
Sister Hippo¡¯s face immediately darkened, she turned around and faced Li Chengqian with her butt.
In the end, it was Su Mi's handful of maltose that bought her off, and she stopped her black face.
A game of Go lasts an hour. After two games of Go, the whole night was gone. Everyone washed their hands and went to bed.
Before going to bed, Li Chengqian shouted to his hippo niece: "Don't eat sweets before going to bed. Be careful of tooth decay and bad breath!"
In exchange for a blank stare from her. Damn it, good intentions are regarded as donkey liver and lungs!
The next day, when Li Chengqian got up, he heard Su Mi say: "After A-Zhen got up in the morning, she rinsed her mouth three times, but she still felt astringent and uncomfortable in her mouth!"
This is the consequence of eating sweets before going to bed and not rinsing your mouth. Li Chengqian immediately laughed with joy and misfortune: "If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences before you say it, haha"
"Your Highness, hurry up and wash up. Confucius is waiting outside." Su Mi urged.
Li Chengqian tilted his head, but he could not see the situation in the hall outside at all. He took his head back and said, "How about letting him come back in the afternoon?"
"Confucius is not easy to discuss." Su Mi said awkwardly.
Indeed, it was the most difficult thing for King Kong Long to discuss this matter with him. Li Chengqian didn't want to embarrass his wife, so he brushed his teeth, washed his face, and went out to see King Kong Long.
There are several books placed in front of King Kong Long's desk, all of which are bound in thread and have cyan covers. The title of the top book is "Mencius".
Mencius is a person and an ancient thinker. His book of the same name is a compilation of his remarks.
King Kong Long brought this book. It seems that he wants to take cultural classes. Li Chengqian refused and said: "Master, I was very interested in yesterday's Go game. Let's continue the chess lesson!"
"That's very good!" King Kong Long was very happy and took out the bottom one from all the books, with the word "chess skill" on the cover.
Li Chengqian felt for a moment that the Dragon King seemed to have set a trap on him. If he came directly to talk about Go lessons with Li Chengqian, then Li Chengqian would be a little reluctant. But take a copy of Mencius. If he pretends to be teaching cultural classes, Li Chengqian will propose a Go class on his own.
"It's too stuffy in the hall, Master, let's go to the pavilion outside to teach!" Li Chengqian felt that since he had to attend class. Then why not find a good environment and treat yourself well!
Confucius was not too old-fashioned, so he readily agreed to Li Chengqian's request.
The scenery in the pavilion is beautiful. The cool breeze makes it a good place to study. Li Chengqian felt that learning here would get twice the result with half the effort. While listening to Confucius' explanation, he stared at the chessboard, picked up fresh fruits next to him and put them in his mouth to eat, which was so satisfying. It was only when Confucius got impatient that he looked up and stared at him, so he put the fruit in his hand on the plate. When he lowered his head, he immediately picked it up and put it in his mouth to eat.
Just when Confucius was talking happily and Li Chengqian was eating happily. Suddenly, Li Chengqian, a foodie, was stunned. The apricot pulp he bit into his mouth fell out because he didn't close his mouth.
"Why is Your Highness so out of sorts?" Confucius asked puzzledly.
¡°What is that?¡± Li Chengqian pointed outside the pavilion.
Confucius looked in the direction and said, "Crown Princess."
¡°Then he looked at Li Chengqian strangely. Is it necessary to be so surprised when the princess came that the food in her mouth would fall out?
Li Chengqian is certainly not surprised by this. He said: "Where is the thing in her hand? Why does it look so familiar?"
There was no need for Confucius to answer, Su Mi had already walked into the pavilion, and said to Confucius and Li Chengqian with a sweet smile: "Master and Your Highness, please take a rest. This is the cold melon sent by the Queen to the East Palace. Please taste it, Master and Your Highness!" "
After Li Chengqian saw Su Mi come in, his eyes were fixed on the things on the plate. That's right, this is something that is extremely familiar. Watermelon, cut watermelon. I didn¡¯t expect to see watermelon in the Tang Dynasty. It was so unexpected.
Two nights ago, he had thought about watermelon when it was sweltering, but he had the impression that watermelon was introduced to China from foreign countries. It must have been early in the Tang Dynasty, so he didn't ask, but he suddenly appeared. Scared!
"Your Highness?" Su Mi pulled Li Chengqian's sleeve and whispered to him in a daze.
"This melon?"
Su Mi gave him a popular science guide: "Cold melon."
Watermelon actually had this name in ancient times! After Li Chengqian was sure that he was right, this was his favorite watermelon in summer, he asked Su Mi: "Where did it come from?"
Su Mi was a little worried after hearing this. Li Chengqian would not gain or lose again.You're suffering from amnesia. Didn't you just say, "The Queen sent someone to bring it to the East Palace."
I know this, "Where did the queen's melon come from?"
"These are melons and fruits grown in Nanlin Garden. They are ripe at this time. When they were sent to the Queen's Palace, the Queen sent two of them over!" Su Mi said, "Your Highness has a try, Master, please try it too!"
Li Chengqian didn't pick it up to eat, and King Kong Long was too embarrassed to take it.
Li Chengqian¡¯s hands were shaking a little. The watermelon was no different from the modern watermelon. The green rind, red flesh, dark red seeds, and full juice looked particularly attractive. Open your mouth, take a bite without mercy, the juice spurts out, your mouth is full of sweetness, the texture is rustling, and it's ripe!
"That's right, Master, eat it!" Li Chengqian, as the host, greeted King Kong Long.
King Kong Long took Su Mi's bite of watermelon, his eyes were a little bright, and when the watermelon came to his lips, his lips wriggled twice, um, um, I'm a little lost!
"Is this melon rare?" Li Chengqian asked Su Mi in a low voice after taking two big bites.
Su Mi maintained a graceful and dignified appearance and hummed, "The palace and a few wealthy families only grow one or two acres of cold melons, and ordinary people can't eat them."
"Cold melons are delicious, why don't you grow more varieties?" Li Chengqian didn't understand this common social phenomenon in the Tang Dynasty.
"Cold melons take up a lot of space and are not edible. Therefore, my father and ministers do not allow people to grow cold melons. Planting wheat can provide more food and clothing!" Su Mi told him.
Li Chengqian took a bite of the watermelon, but he didn't expect that the ordinary watermelon that tasted so refreshing in his mouth turned out to be a luxury product in the Tang Dynasty. While I am eating luxuries here, the people outside may not have even solved the problem of food and clothing!
Thinking about it this way, this watermelon tastes a bit guilty!
Although he felt guilty about watermelon, Li Chengqian still ate it for two days in a row. After finishing the two watermelons sent by the queen to the East Palace, he also ordered a eunuch to go to the Hanliang Palace to get two more. In the evening, Li Chengqian and his family were playing chess and eating watermelon. Xiao Xiami and Xiao Xiami were called to eat together. Well, I don't know what made them excited.
On this day, Li Chengqian was eating watermelon in the pavilion, while listening to Confucius talking about a game of chess, when he suddenly saw Xiao Chen running towards him in a hurry, and he couldn't help but be stunned!
"Your Highness, go to Hanliang Palace and have a look!" Xiao Chenyi gasped as he approached
