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 Yu Chun, Hu Hai in Beijing City, a big fuss Wuko field, outnumbered, defeated out of Beijing, the brothers were separated. Now, let me just say that Zhu Yuanzhang was alone, single-handedly, fleeing from the desert, ran for two to three hundred miles, was cold, thirsty and hungry, and could not support him any longer, and then he saw that there was a small broken temple in front of him. Hey, let's rest for a while in the temple! I rushed here and fainted when I got off the horse, and I didn't even know it. After a long time, there came two beggars. These two beggars stayed in the small broken temple, and asked for some dry biscuits, leftover cakes, and a pot of leftover and vegetable soup. When they arrived at the door of the temple, they took a look: 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 room, and then give 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 that ah, and Chang Yuchun, Hu Hai in the martial arts field where a piece of war it. Confused and confused called Chang Yuchun, "Hey, Chang Xian Di!" This called Chang Xian Di 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 and that I'm called Xian Di?" Zhu Yuanzhang called out again, "Ah, come!" The beggar was also puzzled, "Oh? 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 thought, "This hunger is not good, because we are always dealing with this hunger. There's nothing else to it. Come on, let's save him. "Why don't we just let him starve? 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 some more rice here." "That's right!" Put it in the casserole! "Hey!" "Well, I've still got half a block of rancid tofu here." It's in the pot, too! I've got some cabbage, so I'll throw it in the pot, and two pieces of spinach, too! A moment of work is hot, the casserole over.
Zhu Yuanzhang? And cold, and thirsty, and hungry, although rancid tofu has a flavor, but also do not smell, "gulp gulp gulp" the pot of leftover soup down. Hey, it's time, he's been overworked, he's caught a cold, but he doesn't know it. Now, this pot of hot vegetable soup went down, sweating, his cold is well, and he is in good spirits. 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, right, right, right." Zhu Yuanzhang he vaguely agreed, "Then you two give me to do this pot of soup what name it?" The two beggars this gas ah! I said: "I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make it, but I'm going to be able to make it.
This one said: "Hey? He wants to ask, we will give a name." "What's the name?" "Just tell him to call it 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup'". "Don't be ridiculous! Where's the 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup'?" "Hey, of course there is." "Yes? Where are the pearls?" "Pearls ah, we that paste rice gabba broken rice grain, that is not the pearl?" "What about this jade?" "Jade, cabbage, spinach leaves, that's not jade?" "White jade soup, where's the jade?" "Ah, my half block of rancid tofu, that does not 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, he left the temple door and got on his horse and left. After a few years of work, Zhu Yuanzhang really overthrew the Yuan Dynasty. In Nanjing, Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, Zhu Hongwu. What happened when he became the emperor? 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. If the emperor wants to give the minister anything, the minister has to take it to his home and offer it to the ancestor hall to show it. 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 ancestors, show off the family, the imperial gift - ass paper, so powerful.
This Zhu Yuanzhang sat for a few years after the emperor, eat, drink and play, always this set, he was annoyed. Suddenly, there are so many days, the body is not good, lazy, sore and lazy, how so a taste ah? I thought, "What? This feeling is just like the feeling I had when I was stranded in a small temple, just so sad. I remember, that year, people gave me a pot of "pearl jadeite white jade soup" ah, after drinking, I was refreshed, my body is 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 Xian Di", and the other I don't know what his name is.
Briefly cut off, I said that when he was in trouble in that county, also posted the royal list. The government has been working on this issue for a long time, but it has not been able to do so. The county office door across, there is a shadow wall, posted in this shadow wall to go. Once the royal list was posted, the people didn't know what was going on, so they gathered around to see it. As they watched, hey, by coincidence, these two beggars were passing by. The two beggars look Here surrounded by a circle of people, do not know how, over a dial pull this: "Hey, labor your driving, what are you looking at it?" The man turned around to see the two beggars, "Go! Go away! What are you inquiring about? What's the use of asking? The Emperor is looking for two people who can make 'Pearl Jadeite White Jade Soup', one is called Chang Xian Di, and the other one doesn't know what his name is, so what are you two asking for? You can make 'Pearl Jadeite 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, come on, let's go to him." The two beggars planned to go to the Emperor.
Tear the royal list! "The two men who read the list are the county officials, and they have been working on the list for years. 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 tear the royal list? Ho, the courage is too big, a shake chain, "wow" this to lock. Just shaking the chains, the two beggars a stare: "What ah? What's going on? What's going on? Does it mean that the lock to go 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. Please come with us to the magistrate's office." Let's go to the classroom and report back to the magistrate. The magistrate heard what happened. You've found a soup maker in my county? I've found a soup maker in my county! It's time for me to get promoted and get rich. Good! Ordered: "Welcome at once." Hurry to change into the new official's clothes, descending the steps to welcome. The magistrate went down the steps and looked across the street, and almost got his nose out of joint. Across the street stood two beggars: a face of grease and mud, all rags, bare feet, standing there with their hands behind their backs, looking at the magistrate down the steps, nodding at the magistrate, smiling. The magistrate This gas ah, just you two people still face holy which, we have two bowls of leftover noodles here. "We still have two bowls of leftover noodles here! Come on, take the chain to lock up, escorted to the capital." Escort them to Nanjing. How was Zhu Hongwu? He was happy. Someone tore the royal list, the person who made the soup found, ho, too good! Immediately summoned. This magistrate, escorting two beggars run to the throne room. Seven products of the county it, in the Ming and Qing dynasties are this system: no qualifications to see the emperor, there must be a special summons, 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 took a peek at these two beggars, and the magistrate was puzzled. What do the two beggars mean? Kneeling before the Emperor? They didn't kneel, but stood 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 blame the magistrate, said: this magistrate how so waste ah? Why don't you change the two of them into some nice clothes and come to see me? Your ragged clothes nagging, so that the civil and military ministers, the royal relatives look, the emperor knows the beggar, where do I put my face? So I stood up quickly to find a way out. The emperor how we see people stand up? This moment stood up, "Oh! Haha, the two Secretaries, why are you dressed like this to see the widow?" Why are you dressed like this?
Two beggars he does not understand ah, "No! We are always like this?" The emperor heard, line! I said that for nothing. He is always like this. "Now we mix the whole thing, you see, more mixed with a chain." It's locked. His Majesty used this as a pretext to scold the magistrate: "You're a fool, you're bold! Give me to do 'pearl jadeite white jade soup' people, how do you give on the lock up? Ah? Outrageous! Come on, put him out to kill him!" That's the end of it. This magistrate kneeling there, good guy, kowtow as if chicken run broken rice, shivering like a scorpion with a tiger eating tobacco bag oil. Shivering. The two beggars took a look at the magistrate and were happy! The two beggars took a look: "Ouch, ouch, ouch, 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!" The magistrate became a small fellow. The treasury allocated 300 taels of silver, and set up another imperial kitchen, limited to three days, to do "Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup" 200 copies. Why so many? The Emperor wants to give a banquet to his ministers. That means - good things can not I eat alone, everyone must taste. When the three of them arrived at the imperial kitchen, the magistrate knelt down to the two beggars, "Thank you for saving my life!" "Don't thank me!" "Do you know how to buy things?" "Yes, please do as you wish, Masters." "Buy 100 catties of spinach, 200 catties of cabbage, understand? Three hundred blocks of tofu, four hundred pounds of brown rice, two buckets of mixed vegetables, four scoops of water for brushing guys, 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. Because we can not use the outside, we have to use the dining room. In our imperial kitchen, the master said that there is only one bucket of mixed vegetables a day, and two buckets are not available." The two beggars heard, "Oh? That's not good ah, a bucket for fear that the emperor eat 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 a few buckets, because it's not the same day, the first few days, it can't 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!"
There are not enough people to use, and borrowed two imperial kitchen chef, miscellaneous and vegetables also came. The three people here one stop, "two old masters, you order it, we are doing what?" "What are you doing? You?" 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? Even the rice for the 'Pearl Jadeite White Jade Soup' can be simmered?" "That's not true!" "Still! Listen, I'll tell you, to make this kind of soup, first of all, the rice used to make the soup is not to be poured! Don't wash it! Just pour it into the pot and let it simmer! Don't eat all the dry rice on top after you cut it! Just the rice at the bottom. Go!" "Yes!" This one's gone. "Masters, what am I doing?" "You, get the cabbage and spinach." "Yes." The magistrate couldn't hold it in, "What am I doing?" "What are you doing?" "Ahem, you've got no work in your eyes. What are you doing? What are you doing? You're breaking the tofu." "Hey, the tofu is diced, but this is sliced?" "No slicing! Grab it with your hands! If you break it, it'll soak in the bucket. The 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?" "No matter how long, until the sun bubbles."
Three people heard, this is what to do ah? This said: "He told us how to do we do, wait for it." The rice casserole, this grabbed the tofu. This is a difficult to cut vegetables, cabbage gangs to go eight or nine percent, to be among the tender cabbage heart; that spinach ah, do not say rotten, a little yellow on the edge of the leaves do not want to net selection of this tender spinach. After choosing a little bit of spinach, I fetched a bucket of water and was just 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 and spinach? What's the point! I don't even need it for 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup'." "Then what do you think?" "The cabbage and the spinach, that pile." "Then I'll wash this?" "Don't wash it." "You don't have to wash it, so I'll just cut it up?" "No! Pull it into the pot!" "What?" "Do as you're told." "Okay, okay!" They crushed the tofu and put the bucket in the sun. What month are you in? Mid-July. How hot was it? It bubbled up in no time. 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 make soup for the emperor not to make soup? What do we do?" The two to cook a hearing on the music, "Humph, busy what ah? What are you busy doing to make soup for the Emperor? 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, just waiting for the Royal Banquet began, poured into the pot a hot, see a open, and then served up, the Emperor a drink, we are waiting to ask for credit to receive a reward." The magistrate heard: "still plan to receive the reward? The head does not move home on the good thing ah. You still want to get a reward?" The man 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, that's interesting!" 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.
To the head of the third day, ho! 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 did he go so early? He can't be early. He doesn't go that early every day, so why did he go early this day? Hey, hey, the Emperor's giving a banquet. We're all going to try this "Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup". I've never tasted this before! I've never tasted this before!
The civil and military officials went early, but the emperor has not yet gone. What are they doing? "Nian brother, you have drunk 'pearl jadeite white jade soup'?" "No. Have you?" "Neither have I. Although I have not drunk it, but I heard my father said, my father was listening to Prime Minister Xu Da said. According to Prime Minister Xu Da, this 'Pearl Jadeite White Jade Soup' is quite something! It is said that there are pearls and seafood, phoenix liver and dragon marrow in it, and it is really poor in the world's rare and exotic treasures, and it took a long time to steam and refine it before it was made into 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 whole thing is here. The people are quite a lot, the emperor has not yet come. The emperor is also coming soon. The first thing you need to do is to get ready.
"Thump, thump" ran to the head of the dining room, "Hey! The imperial banquet will begin soon. Hurry up to get, back to the pot hot!" Old master, what to put first ah?" "Whatever! Come on." "With a click, the cabbage and spinach leaves went in first. "Here, rice, mixed vegetables, and tofu in water!" "Dang", it's all folded in! "Hurry up and start the fire. Hurry up and start the fire." After a while, the soup was boiling! The soup's 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".
Small eunuchs to the top of the soup. The civil and military officials, the royal relatives to see a small eunuch to send up the soup, we are talking to each other. You see this little eunuch up to send soup, you see how much they rule, even look at the soup do not dare to look at, you see that is not, are biased body, slanting face it?" A look at this little eunuch up to send soup how? He is not dare to look at the face, that flavor he can not stand ah. But it is not like that?
To bring up the soup, the first bowl of course, first to the emperor la. The first bowl was placed on the Emperor's table. The emperor so smell it, as if a little nausea. The first time I saw him, I was so happy to see him, and I'm so happy to see him. 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 officers and relatives of the emperor, one by one, frowning 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 how can I 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! I'm sure you'll drink it.
The civil and military officials were all in a daze, first like that, but now not, like this. The first is that it is not like that, now it is not like that. That means: this soup, not to mention the emperor, even we can not drink. You see, these two people who made the soup, not death by a thousand cuts. The company's website has been updated with the latest information about the company's website.
The emperor took a look at them and twisted his face, the emperor can be annoyed. The emperor looked. The first time I saw him, he said, "I don't know what to do, I don't know what to do! I'm sure you'll be able to enjoy yourselves with me, right? So a little bit of sin can not suffer ah? Why are you hiding? What are you doing? Waiting for me? Waiting for me is good. Come on! Come on, let's go together today." The small bowl up, up a station: "All the Secretary, with the widow together **** drink 'pearl jade jade soup'." After saying this, picked up the small bowl, a holding his breath "guldon guldon", the small bowl of soup down. The empty bowl was placed there and he sat down.
The civil and military officials were horrified. "Brother Nian, the emperor drank. What are we going to do about it?" A piece of pouring down bar!" All 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 the words to find a solution. "Brother Nian, please!" He said, "Nonsense! I'm inviting you, so you don't have to drink! No need to talk nonsense, let's drink together!" I don't care how to say it, a hold my breath, finally this small bowl of soup down, the empty bowl to there a rest.
The emperor saw the civil and military officials all drank, the emperor was happy! Stood up and asked: "All of you Secretary, I asked someone to do this 'Pearl Emerald White Jade Soup', you all drink, uh, how does it taste?" 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 of you Secretary, you and other people do not say, each stretching two fingers, the joint has understood you and other intentions - you are trying to each of you two big bowls again!"
