Sariputra, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color

Little Bai Ze's eyes were full of the chef cooking dried shreds.

These dried shreds are tofu slices cut into thin shreds, a Yangzhou dish.

The prince squatted beside him and introduced it in a loud voice: "Let me tell you, the dried tofu shreds must be made from Yangzhou. They are thin and tough, and absorb juice very well. The dried tofu shreds from other places lack a bit of flavor. It's a pity that we can't bring this stuff here, so we can only use the dried tofu shreds from the capital, which is really a big pity."

"But I specially brought back the best dried tofu shred chef from Yangzhou. He can cut a piece of dried tofu into thirty-six pieces, and the shreds are as thin as horsetails. Ordinary chefs can only cut it into sixteen pieces, and the more delicate ones can only cut it into twenty pieces at most."

Xu Yanmiao watched the chef skillfully turn the dried tofu into a pile of tofu shreds, and then soaked it in water twice to remove the bean smell. Then throw it into the fried clear soup. After the dried shredded vegetables have absorbed enough fresh chicken soup, add shredded ham, bamboo shoots, silver fish, wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, seaweed, egg skin and chicken. Roast and boil them repeatedly to cook all eight flavors into the dried shredded vegetables.

"I'm telling you." The prince wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth: "This is the most common way to eat it. I'll make this for you the first time you eat it. Others include crispy fish with broth, crispy fish with crispy sauce, crab roe, kidney, and chicken skin. I prefer to add shrimp and scallops. In one word - fresh!"

Xu Yanmiao just nodded.

When the soft and thick boiled dried shreds were served, Xu Yanmiao ate a large bowl in a moment, and finally drank up the soup with the bowl still unsatisfied.

The prince would eat too much, pour a cup of strong tea, eat two mouthfuls of dried shreds and sip a sip of tea, and be particularly particular.

Xu Yanmiao hesitated: [It seems that it tastes better this way, but the tea is really bad, I don’t want to drink tea. ]

The corners of the prince’s mouth turned up subtly.

[Hey, what are you laughing at, prince? ]

The prince did not hide it and laughed more openly. An explanation came to his mind in an instant, and he was about to say: "You..."

[Seeing that he was laughing so happily, he probably didn’t know that he was stabbed by his own sister. ]

[The people sent by the old emperor to publicize his achievements should have almost run away to the north, right? ]

The prince couldn’t laugh anymore.

The chopsticks in his hand shook and slid down through the beautiful flesh-colored silver fish thread, splashing the soup.

Noticing Xu Yanmiao's expression was a little strange, the prince held the chopsticks in his hand and leaned over to him, as if he had just pretended to be angry when he hit the soup: "Xu Yanmiao, why are you staring at me?"

[Eh? I only looked at him two or three times? ]

"Pah--"

The prince closed his hands, and the mosquito flying above the boiled dried shreds lay in the palm of his hand. It was as if he had been concentrating on hitting mosquitoes from beginning to end, instead of listening to Xu Lang's confused voice.

Of course, he knew that Xu Yanmiao was not looking at him all the time, but only looked at him curiously twice when he was drinking tea, and was curious again when the chopsticks hit the soup.

But, this is what it means to be the first to take the initiative.

Across from him, Xu Yanmiao stared at the two drops of chili oil that fell on the wooden table, and quickly prepared his answer to avoid embarrassment: "I saw that His Highness was laughing happily, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances, wondering if His Highness had encountered anything happy in Yangzhou."

After the prince wiped his palms clean, he used chopsticks to stir the smooth tofu shreds, smiling: "Yangzhou is very interesting, but I see Xu Lang worrying about whether he should drink tea, which is more interesting."

Then he picked up a chopstick of boiled shreds, used a spoon to support it, and put it into his mouth.

[Oh! A perfect closed loop! ]

When Xu Yanmiao made a calm judgment, the prince was also very calm, so calm that he almost broke the thin chopsticks with his thumb.

Are you running to the north? Of course he had to run to the north first, because he was in the south, in Yangzhou!

It was indeed something that the emperor personally ordered the commander of the Jinyiwei to do, but he really didn't receive any news! Hehehe!

"Ka--"

The prince looked down and saw that the chopsticks had broken, and a wooden thorn popped out and floated in the chicken soup. He

looked up and saw Xu Yanmiao's expression was a little complicated.

"I remembered some unhappy things." The prince glanced at Xu Yanmiao and suddenly clapped his hands: "Xu Yanmiao, you helped Xiangyang deal with my old man before..."

Xu Yanmiao immediately solemnly reiterated: "I didn't know the princess's identity at that time."

"Same same, this is not important!" The prince supported his chin: "How about giving me some advice, we are also friends who have touched tigers together."

Xu Yanmiao thought of the warm touch when he touched the big tiger's neck and butt that day, and then looked down at the boiled dried shreds he was eating, and the light and fresh fragrance of tofu was still wafting in his nose...

Xu Lang was heartbroken: [Damn it, officials really can't accept bribes, they are grateful to the people who eat them, I have been on guard in every way, but I couldn't defend myself against this corrupt officialdom. The

prince was about to laugh, but he quickly held it back. He personally filled a large bowl with boiled dried shreds and placed it in front of Xu Yanmiao, saying proudly: "If you help me, boiled dried shreds will be enough! In addition, there are also stewed lion heads, shredded radish cakes, pickled radishes with sweet bean sauce - I will also take you to Yangzhou for fun!"

"And..." The prince looked around and saw the rocking chair that Xu Yanmiao had bought. The lion cat stood on it, arched its back, and barked fiercely at the light and shadow on the wall.

Yes, they had this meal at Xu Yanmiao's house.

The prince pointed at the cat and said loudly: "I will take care of all the soaps for your son's bath in the future! Give me the comb for combing its hair, the scissors for cutting its nails, and the sandpaper for grinding its nails! I will also buy it dried fish to eat. When I come to your house in the future, I will bring dried fish to your door!"

Xu Yanmiao was shocked.

[What a vicious mind, you actually turned to please my good boy! ]

The prince smiled proudly and raised a finger: "Just once, I swear to heaven, I will never give you up!"

Xu Yanmiao asked tentatively: "What exactly do you want to do, Your Highness?"

The prince glanced around and lowered his voice: "My father did something to me secretly and thought I didn't know. I must fight back."

"I want him to think that I am a toy and have lost his mind!"

[Huh? Do you still think so now? Isn't it already...】

The prince coldly ignored this voice.

Then he continued: "I also want him to think that I am addicted to enjoyment and extravagance!"

"How about it--" The prince looked expectant: "Lord Xu, can you do it?"

"I can, but..."

"During the time you are helping me, you don't have to attend the morning court."

*

It has nothing to do with whether to attend the morning court or not. Xu Yanmiao agreed because the prince had said so. If he didn't agree, it would be too disrespectful to the prince.

"Fortunately it's not a big deal, otherwise it would be better to lose my head than to lose face."

Xu Yanmiao muttered as he walked towards the East Palace and ordered the prince's people to prepare some things.

[The prince said he wanted to be extravagant, but I can't really prepare something particularly expensive, otherwise I will be the one to be scolded by the old emperor. ]

[It's best to look expensive, but actually not worth the money, or not worth much. ]

[What's so...]

[Got it! ]

Xu Yanmiao's eyes lit up.

He can't do anything else, but he can burn relics!

Don't laugh, it's relics. Someone has even applied for a patent for this

thing, called "Method for Making Relics Products". He can't burn glass, nor can he make cement. Burning relics is probably one of the few modern skills in his knowledge. - After all, it's cool to say that he can burn this thing.

- To be honest, Xu Yanmiao has thought about selling relics if he can't be an official anymore. He can burn any color, and it doesn't necessarily require human bones, chicken bones and cow bones are fine.

...

The prince waited in the East Palace every day, waiting and waiting, waiting, and waiting for more than a month before finally receiving good news from Xu Yanmiao -

"The thing is in Longmen Mountain."

The seriousness on the prince's face instantly turned into a smile.

Pull your biological father over immediately.

When they reached the ridge, the old emperor twirled his jade finger and asked leisurely: "Okay, my prince, why do you want us to come to the mountain in such a cold weather?"

Behind him, several ministers who were discussing matters in Wuying Hall nodded vigorously in their hearts.

It’s November! The cold wind is bleak! Let these old arms and legs go up the mountain! What to do if the cold comes out!

The prince was walking in front to lead the way. When he heard this, he turned around and smiled brightly: "For more than a month, I sent people to search south and north, and I took great pains to find a good object. I came here to present it to Your Majesty!"

"Haha." The emperor smiled softly.

The person in front of him was his own son. As soon as he raised his butt, he knew that this man was going to poop. He had been wondering if it was something else, but now he was sure that this debt collector must have come to deliberately piss him off.

The prince turned his face away so that his father wouldn't see the excitement in his eyes.

Although he didn't know what Xu Yanmiao would prepare, it would definitely be luxurious, but it would never cause loss of money and labor to the people - anyway, he didn't see Xu Yanmiao mobilize a lot, and he hadn't heard of any place where murders and looting and family breakdown occurred frequently.

His father hated luxurious things the most. And the prince was obsessed with searching for treasures, so he was definitely not a qualified prince. Killing two birds with

one stone! Perfect!

Moreover, with the ministers as witnesses, he didn't have to worry about his father blocking the news!

From a distance, the prince saw what Xu Yanmiao had prepared, and immediately pointed his finger at the air, saying in a high voice: "Your Majesty! The item I prepared is right there."

Prime Minister Dou, as one of the entourage, looked over and found that the item was covered by a large piece of cloth. He smiled with his eyes crooked: "Your Majesty, the item that Your Highness specially found is really huge, and your filial piety is commendable." The Minister

of Rites had his hair crown tilted to one side because of climbing the mountain. At this moment, he adjusted his hair crown while looking at the prince suspiciously.

Filial piety? Really? Why did he feel like something was not right?

The prince's eyes were bright: "Your Majesty! Please uncover it!"

The old emperor glanced at his son, his feet kept moving, and his hands were never idle, he stretched out his hand to grab the burlap and pulled it.

The prince tried his best to remain calm, looking over there with a burning gaze.

I was already excited: Sure enough! It was right to ask Xu Yanmiao for this matter! Judging from the shape, it must be a house, and not a big one. In this case, even if he built a golden house, it would not cost much.

Then, the coarse cloth slipped off, revealing a small one-room house. The house was not the point, the point was the walls, which were densely inlaid with "jewels".

There were round white beads, shaped like pearls, the size of a nail, inlaid on the entire wall, and there were almost countless beads.

There were dark and bright black lotus flowers, supported at the base of the wall, as if lifting the entire house off the ground. The "black lotus flowers" were like the condensation of the essence of water, and it was obvious at a glance that they were very expensive.

There is also a red translucent roof...

The Minister of Rites, a second-rank official, stuttered: "This, this, this - can it be blood jade? Such a big piece..."

Where did you get it from, Prince?

Did you really rob it? There

are also colorful pearls hanging under the eaves! ! !

Colorful!

This is dozens of times more valuable than the golden house and jade house they imagined before. The price is certainly very considerable.

Prime Minister Dou made a judgment: "It can't be built without 10 billion."

So... where did his nephew get so much money? Did he take bribes? Or did he suck the blood and fat of the people?

The old emperor's eyes became dangerous.

The prince stared blankly at the crystal house full of jewels and money, and suddenly shuddered.

The subordinate instinctively reached for the intact leg.

With his father's personality, seeing such a house would break his other leg as well!

He just wanted to piss off his father, but he didn't expect Xu Yanmiao to prepare such a big surprise for him!!!

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

"Calm down! I think there's a misunderstanding!" "There

must be a misunderstanding!"

"Don't use the branch! It's so big it hurts!"

"Uncle, please help my dad! Help--"

"Ah--"

...

Xu Yanmiao stood at the foot of the mountain, leaning on the awning and looking at the mountain.

He couldn't see anything.

But I was very proud and happy.

[I completed the task perfectly!]

[After a month of roasting chicken and duck bones, I finally finished it!]

[I also worked hard to catch mice and fed them quartz sand for several days before roasting them in the kiln. I made a dragon ball for the prince, all the size of a fist and colorful. The prince must have been moved!]
