This one-liner ah, this is not a thing now. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new one, and you'll be able to do it. Anyway, this is not too far away from now, only six hundred years.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was Zhu Yuanzhang, who later became the emperor, Zhu Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang gathered troops and revolted. Intended to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, led by Chang Yuchun, Hu Hai in Beijing City, the big mess in the martial arts field, outnumbered, defeated out of Beijing, the brothers were separated. Now, I say Zhu Yuanzhang alone, single-handed, fleeing, ran two or three hundred miles, the body is cold, thirsty, hungry, really can not support, a look ahead of a small broken temple. Hey, in the temple to rest for a while! Rushed here once the horse ah, fainted, they do not know la. After a long time, there came two beggars. These two beggars live in the small temple, want a number of dry biscuits, leftover cake ah, and a pot of leftover and vegetable soup. They came to the temple door and looked: yo! Why is there a man lying here? He had a long head and a long jaw, but he looked like a donkey. When I touched him, he was hot, so it was important to save him! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said.
To the temple head it, looking for some branches, rotten firewood lit to warm the house, and then to Zhu Yuanzhang legs to let him slow down this breath. After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang slow wake up, but the heart is still confused, he thought ah, and often Yuchun, Hu Hai in the martial arts field where a piece of war it. Dazed and confused, he called Chang Yuchun, "Hey, Chang Xian Di!" This called Chang Xiandi ah, the two beggars heard a stunned! The beggar said, "Yo? What? That's strange! I don't know him, how does he know my name is Chang?" Zhu Yuanzhang called out again, "Ah, come!" The beggar was also puzzled, "Yo? He knows me as Lai!" You see this cleverness.
"Ah, what's wrong with you?" "I'm hungry!" Oh, this person is not sick. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on the price, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get a good deal on the price. This is nothing else, come on, let's save people. "Why don't we just let him go? Let's give him this pot of leftover soup to drink." "It has to be warmed up!" "Right!" We found three small bricks, a casserole, and lit a fire. "He won't be full even if you give him vegetable soup." "It doesn't matter! I've got a little more rice here." "That's right!" Put it in the casserole! "Hey!" "Well, I still have half a block of rancid tofu here." It's in the pot, too! I have some cabbage, so I'll throw it in the pot, and two pieces of spinach, too! The first time I saw this, I was able to get the money to pay for it, and I was able to get the money to pay for it, and I was able to pay for it.
Zhu Yuanzhang? And cold, and thirsty, and hungry, although rancid tofu has a flavor, but also do not smell out, "guldon guldon" the pot of leftover vegetable soup down. Hey, the thing that should be, he this way ah, fatigue overload, has caught a cold, but he did not know. Now, this pot of hot vegetable soup down, sweating, his cold is well, have spirit. He asked the two men, "Oh, what are your names?" What did the beggar mean? Are you kidding? You don't know your last name again? "Didn't you call me? I'm Chang, Chang Xiandi?" "Oh, yes, yes, yes." Zhu Yuanzhang he vaguely agreed, "Then you two make me this pot of soup name it?" The two beggars this gas ah! I said: miscellaneous and vegetable soup, which has a name ah?
This one said: "Hey? He wants to ask it, we will give a name." "Name what ah?" "Just tell him to call 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup'". "Don't be ridiculous! Where is the 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup'?" "Hey, of course there is." "There is? Where are the pearls?" "Pearls ah, we that paste rice gabba broken rice, that is not pearls?" "Then what about this jade?" "Jade, cabbage, spinach leaves, that's not jade." "White jade soup, what about jade?" "Ah, my half piece of rancid tofu, that doesn't count?" "Right, right, right. We call this 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup '." "Good, the name is quite good. Thank you both. I still have to fight to go where, we are to meet in other years, see you again." After saying this out of the temple door, mounted his horse and left.
After a few years of work, Zhu Yuanzhang really overthrew the Yuan Dynasty. In Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang made the emperor, Zhu Hongwu. The first time I saw him, I was in the middle of the night, and he was in the middle of the night. After he became the emperor, he was no different from other emperors. Every day is also eaten delicacies of the sea, wearing silk, marrying the three palaces and six houses. Really the son of God is bent on, the ministers hundred obedience. What the emperor said, the group of ministers have to follow what to say. Even if the emperor said this coal is white, no one dare say it is black. If you say it's black, you'll be killed if you don't obey the decree! That's it. The emperor wants to give the minister no matter any one thing, this minister, have to take home, to the ancestor hall, show show show. Even if the emperor gave the minister a piece of straw paper, the minister has to take the yellow damask framed, for the ancestral hall, as the glory of the ancestor, show off the family, the imperial gift - wipe the ass paper, so powerful.
This Zhu Yuanzhang sat a few years after the emperor, eat, drink and play, always this set, he was tired. Suddenly, there are so many days, the body is not good, lazy, body acid lazy, how so a taste ah? A thought: hey? This flavor is just like me when I fell in the small broken temple that taste like, so sad. I remember, that year, people gave me a pot of "pearl jadeite white jade soup" ah, drink, I'm spirit, the body will be comfortable, it's good. Now I'm sad again, I need another bowl of "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup" to drink, will also be better. Yeah, no, I can't. No one knows how to make it? Hey, find these two people, one is called Chang Hsien-ti, I remember. A decree was issued to post a list of two people who can make "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup". One is called "Chang Xiandi", that I do not know what the name.
Briefly cut off, I said that when he was in trouble, the county, also posted the royal list. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night. The county government across the door, there is a shadow wall, posted in this shadow wall to go. This royal list is posted out, the people do not know what is going on, gathered around to see. I was looking at it, and hey, by coincidence, these two beggars were passing by. The two beggars look here surrounded by a circle of people, I do not know how, over a set of pull this: "Hey, labor your driving, what are you looking at it?"
This look back at the two beggars, "Go! Go ah! What are you inquiring about? Inquiring about the heart is sick, ask what is the use of this ah, the emperor to find two will do 'pearl jadeite white jade soup' people, a called Chang Xiandi, that I do not know what the name, you two ask what ah? You will do 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup' ah?" The two beggars heard, ah? This said: "Hey! Brother, good! The guy who drank the soup in the small temple has become the Emperor!" This one says, "Is it him?" "Of course it's him!" "Oh, he's become the emperor? Then we have to go!" "Yes, let's go, let's go to him." The two beggars intended to go to the Emperor.
Tear the royal list! "The two of them are the same as the one in the county, but they are not the same as the one in the county. The two look at the list, that is, the county magistrate's office in the two officials. The two officials so a look: how, want to eat tearing the royal list? Ho, the courage is too big, a shake chain, "Wow" this is going to lock. Just a shake chain, two beggars a stare: "What ah? Ah? What's going on ah? Does it mean that the lock to the emperor to do 'Pearl Jadeite White Jade soup'?" The two businessmen heard: "Oh, it's the two 'Soup Masters'?" "Who is Mr. Tang? Nonsense! We do soup." "Two soup masters. You with our county court door please."
Let to the head of the classroom, hurry back to the magistrate. The county magistrate heard how? In my county to find the person who made the soup? I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that! It is time for me to get promoted and get rich to change the hat. Good! Commanded: "Immediately out to meet." Hurry to change into the new official's clothes, descending the steps to welcome. The magistrate went down the steps to the opposite side of the look ah, almost put the nose crooked, how? Across the street stood two beggars: a face of grease and mud, a ragged, bare feet, stood there upside down with their hands behind their backs, look at the magistrate down the steps, the magistrate so a nod, smiling. The magistrate this gas ah, just you two people still face holy which, we have two bowls of leftover noodles here. "Really is bold! Come on, take the chain lock, escorted into the capital." The first time I've seen this, I've seen it, and I've seen it, and I've seen it.
Zhu Hongwu heard how? He was happy. Someone tore the royal list, the person who made the soup found, ho, too good! Immediately summoned. This magistrate, escorting two of the food to run to the throne room. Seventh-grade magistrate it, in the Ming and Qing dynasties are this system: no qualifications to see the emperor, there must be a special call, he had to go to the Ministry of Rites in the head of the speech rituals, three kneeling and nine kowtow, how to kowtow, how to speak, which is only then. This county rich? All do not understand, but also did not come to the Ministry of Words of Rites to come. To the Imperial Palace to kneel here ah, net left scared. Nothing else, shivering, trembling, net left shivering. But the magistrate stole a look at the two beggars, the county rich nagged. What do the two beggars mean? See the emperor three kneel nine kowtow? Did not kneel, standing there smiling and nodding at the emperor. The magistrate looked: ah, these two dare to see anyone like this ah? Hey, hey, hey! The emperor is still not annoyed?
The emperor was not annoyed. A look is really a small broken temple to give him the vegetable soup to drink that, happy! Happy to be happy ah, a look at this dress, the heart secretly complained about the magistrate, said: this magistrate how so waste ah? Why don't you change the two of them into two good clothes to see me? Your raggedy clothes, so that the civil and military ministers, the royal relatives look, the emperor knows the beggar, where do I put my face? Quickly take the words to find a solution, stood up. The emperor more we see people stand up? This moment stood up, "Oh! Haha, two love secretary, why do you pretend to dress like this to see the widow?" Why are you dressed like this ah?
The two beggars he does not understand ah, "no! We are always like this?" The emperor heard, line! I said this in vain. He is always like this. "Now we mix the whole thing, you see, more mixed with a chain." It's locked. His Majesty used the subject as a pretext to scold the magistrate: "Dumb thing, how dare you! To me to do 'pearl jadeite white jade soup' people, how do you give the lock up? Ah? Outrageous! Come on, put him out to kill him!" This is the end.
The magistrate knelt there, good guy, kowtow as if the chicken run broken rice, shivering like a scorpion with a tiger eating tobacco bag oil. The first time I saw this, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night. The two beggars look at the magistrate, happy! The two beggars look: "Aiyo yo yo, hey, this is interesting ah, this don't kill ah! This is a game! Ah, long live! Look at the face of the two of us, spare him a death, because for you to do 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup' ah, people are not enough, lack of a buy ingredients of the little fellow child." The emperor heard: "That's good! Up! Buy ingredients to go!" This county official has become a small boy.
The library head of the allocation of silver 300 taels, another imperial kitchen, limited to three days, to do "pearl jadeite white jade soup" two hundred copies. Why do you do so much? The emperor ah, to feast on the ministers. That means - good things can not I eat alone, everyone has to taste.
The three people to the Royal Dining Room, the magistrate to the two beggars kneeled down, "Thank you for the two old masters to save their lives!" "Do not thank you!" "Let you buy something will you?" "Yes, please do as you wish, ma'am." "Buy a hundred pounds of spinach and two hundred pounds of cabbage, understand? Three hundred blocks of tofu, four hundred pounds of brown rice, two buckets of mixed and vegetables, four scoops of brush guy water, go!" The magistrate heard what this is going to be? "Masters, how can I buy this?" "No need to talk nonsense, let you buy what you buy, less one, made soup is not to the taste of the emperor, take you to test!" "Hey, yes! Buy to go."
Half a day's work are bought back. "The two old masters, things are bought ah, you say this two barrels of miscellaneous and vegetables ah, no. Because we can not use the outside world, we can not use the outside world, but the two barrels of miscellaneous and vegetables ah. Because we can't use the outside, we have to use the dining room. We this imperial kitchen ah, master said, a day down a bucket of mixed vegetables, two buckets no." The two food to listen to, "Oh? That where can ah, a bucket for fear that the emperor ate not enough flavor ah. You ask again!" "No need to ask, there is no such thing!" "No?" "No, the master chef of the catering room said that there are several buckets, because it is not the same day, the first few days, that can not be used." The two beggars heard, "Oh, the first few days? Hey, that's good! That's good enough for the Emperor to eat! That's the one! Both barrels need the first few days' worth!" "Hey, hey!"
People are not enough, and borrowed two imperial kitchen chef, miscellaneous and vegetables also got. Three people here at one stop, "two old masters, you command it, we are doing what?" "What are you doing? You ah?" Let this imperial kitchen cook master, "You first go to stew rice! Ah, come back, can you cook rice?" "You're right, can the Master Chef of the Imperial Kitchen not cook rice?" "Nonsense! Can you cook? Can you cook the rice for the 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup'?" "That's not true!" "Still! Listen, I'll tell you, to make this kind of rice for soup, first of all, when you make the rice, you are not allowed to pan the rice! Don't wash it! Just pour it into the pot and let it simmer! After cutting, you don't want all the dry rice on top! I want the rice at the bottom. Go!" "Yes!" This one's gone. "Masters, what should I do?" "You, get the cabbage and spinach." "Yes." The magistrate couldn't stand it any longer. "Masters, what am I doing?" "What are you doing?" "Ahem, you've got no work in your eyes! What are you doing? You're breaking the tofu." "Hey, tofu is diced, it's sliced?" "No slicing! Grab it with your hands! If you crumble it, you can soak it in the Brush family's drinking bucket. That bucket can't be left in the shade, it has to be put in the sun, okay?" "In the sun? How long will it take?" "Regardless of time, the sun bubbles until."
The three heard, this is what to do ah? This said: "He told us how to do how we do, wait for it." The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty. This is the hardest thing to cut vegetables, cabbage gangs go eighty to ninety percent, to be among the tender cabbage heart; that spinach ah, do not say rotten, the leaves have a little bit of yellow on the side do not want to net selection of the tender spinach. After choosing a little bit of spinach, I just got a bucket of water and was about to wash it, when the two beggars saw it. The two beggars looked at it and said, "You're full of shit! Why are you washing this unwanted stuff?" "What do you mean you don't want it? It's not cabbage heart, it's spinach!" "Nonsense, cabbage heart, spinach? What's the point! I don't even need it for the 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup'." "Then what do you say?" "I want the cabbage and the spinach, the pile of that." "Then I'll wash this?" "Don't wash it." "You don't have to wash it, so I'll just cut it?" "No! Pull it into the pot!" "Huh?" "Do whatever you're told." "Okay, okay!" There, they crushed the tofu and put the bucket in the sun. What month are you? Mid-July. How hot was that day? It bubbled for a while. After half a day's work, it was all chemically activated, puffing, puffing, puffing, puffing, puffing, puffing, puffing, puffing, puffing, puffing, puffing, and stinking! It stank to high heaven. The dry rice gabal is also good, vegetables are also composted, three people stood there at the pile of things froze: paste rice gabal, cabbage gangs, rotten spinach, two buckets of miscellaneous and vegetables, brush the guy soaked tofu.
The magistrate really can't stand it, "two old masters, we give the emperor to do soup not to do soup? What do we do?" The two to cook a hearing on the music, "Humph, busy what ah? What are you busy with? Look!" With a hand pointing to this brush guys soaked tofu bucket, "Look, this is not it? 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup' ten percent has been finished eight percent, waiting for the imperial banquet to begin, pour into the pot a hot, see an open, and then served up, the emperor drank, we are waiting to ask for credit to receive rewards." The magistrate heard: "also intend to receive the reward? The head does not move home on the good thing ah. This still want to receive reward ah?" That one said, 'You can't say that, let's try it, shall we?" He got a spoon, scooped up some soup, and put it in his mouth. "OK, it's a bit fun!" The man said, "You can't just taste the soup, you have to taste the tofu." He fished out some crumbled tofu from the bottom of the bucket, and with a click of his mouth, said, "That's good! It's flavorful enough!" What's the flavor of this game? The three are afraid.
By the third day, ho! The palace courtyard hanging lights and colors, rich and beautiful, big feast of ministers. Good guy, five days to feast on the ministers, but three days, the civil and military officials are all here. Why go so early? He can not not early ah, every day to the court does not go so early, this day why early to go ah? Hey, hey, the Emperor has given us a banquet. We're all going to try this "Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup". I've never tasted this before! They all went.
The civil servants went early, the emperor has not yet gone. What are they doing? The first time I've seen this, I've seen a lot of it. "Nian brother, you have drunk 'pearl jadeite white jade soup'?" "No. Have you?" "Neither have I. Although I have never drank it, I have heard it from my father, who heard it from Prime Minister Xu Da. According to Prime Minister Xu Da, this 'Pearl Jadeite White Jade Soup' is something special! It is said that there are pearls and sea food, phoenix liver and dragon marrow, really poor the world's rare and exotic treasures, a long time to steam and refine, only to be made of this soup. Today my generation by the emperor's grace, personally taste this flavor, hey, really our ancestor virtue is not shallow na." You say this is not bad luck, he did not smell that brush pot water, stinky tofu is what flavor. The two of them have been in the same boat for a long time, and they have been in the same boat for a while.
The two beggars came out to see: yoho! The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California at Berkeley. The first time I saw this, it was a very good thing that I was able to see it. The emperor will be here soon. Hurry up and get ready. "Thump, thump" ran to the head of the dining room, "Hey! The imperial banquet will begin soon. Hurry up and make it hot!" "Reheat? Master, what should we put on the table first?" "Whatever! Come on." "With a click, the cabbage and spinach leaves went in first. "Come on, rice and gabi, mixed vegetables, and tofu in water!" "Dang", all folded in! "Hurry up the fire, hurry up the fire!" After a while, the soup was boiling! The soup is boiling! It's impossible to stay in the house! It stinks! It stinks to high heaven. The three of them slipped out. After a while, the two beggars also went out - they couldn't stand it either. "Oh, how is it? Let's see, the Emperor is out! Hey, Sheng! Duan!" A shout "Sheng", "end"! Ho, more than twenty small eunuchs lined up in a long serpentine formation, each hand holding a gold lacquer red plate, the plate was placed in the head of such a large official kiln burnt group dragon small bowl. The bowl is full of it, the "pearl jadeite white jade soup".
The small eunuch to the top of the soup. The civil and military officials, the royal relatives to see the little eunuch to send up the soup, we are talking to each other. "Brother, the rules of any place are not as big as the rules of the inner courtyard of the palace! You see this little eunuch to send up the soup, you see how they rule, even look at the soup do not dare to look at, you see that is not, are biased body, slanting face it?" How about the little eunuch serving the soup? He did not dare to look at his face, he could not stand the smell. But it is not like that?
The soup up, the first bowl of course, first to the emperor. The first bowl is for the emperor, and the first bowl is for the emperor. The emperor so smell it, also seems to be a little disgusting. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get a good deal on a new product. I drank it in the small temple that year not this flavor ah. Now how this flavor ah? Frozen. And then look at the civil and military officials of the royal relatives, one by one, frowning double eyebrows, Tuan dull rushed this bowl of soup froze, straight to the back to hide.
What does the emperor think here? I said: this soup ah, really is not the flavor, not the flavor is not the flavor ah, no way to have a cut ah? Ah, I am the emperor ah, I said this soup is good, I find someone to do the soup I can not drink ah? Then I must drink it. Not only do I have to drink it today, everyone has to drink it. It's my soup! Of course, I have to drink it.
The civil servants are in a daze, first like that, now not, like this. The first is that it is not like that, now it is not like that. That means: on this soup, not to mention the emperor, even we can not drink. You see, these two people who make soup, not death by a thousand cuts. The first thing I want to do is to make sure that I have a good idea of what I want to do.
The emperor took a look at their twisted face, the emperor can be annoyed. The emperor looked. The emperor can be annoyed! You will enjoy the happiness with me, right? So a little sin can not suffer ah? Why are you hiding? What are you doing? Waiting for me? Waiting for me is good. Come on! We're all in this together. The small bowl up, up a station: "All the Secretary, with the widow together *** drink 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup'." After saying this, picked up the small bowl, a breath holding children "guldon guldon", the small bowl of soup down. Empty bowl to a rest there, sit down.
The military officials were shocked. "Brother Nian, the emperor drank. What are we going to do about it?" "
The military officials were shocked to see that the Emperor had drunk it. A piece of a down pour it!" The bowl of soup up, put his nose here a smell almost vomited. What should we do? Instead of sending it to my mouth, I'll send it farther away. To send it to the distance, the mouth still have to take words to find a solution. "Brother Nian, please!" This said; "Nonsense! I'm asking you not to drink! No need to talk nonsense, let's drink together!" Sensei how to say it, a holding his breath, finally the small bowl of soup down, empty bowl to a rest there.
The emperor saw the civil and military officials drink, the emperor is happy! Stood up and asked: "All of you Secretary, I asked people to do this 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup', you all drink the taste how?" The civil and military officials heard the words, stood up and stretched fingers, two thumbs are picked up, but just did not say. How not to say ah? His mouth still contains a mouthful of it.
The emperor looked, understand! The emperor said: "ah, all the secretaries, you and so on everyone does not say, each stretching two fingers, the joint has understood you and so on the intention - you want to come back to two big bowls each which!"
