It's just that what followed was a kind of spicy throat-like spiciness, sticking out his tongue and sighing, and tears almost rushed out.

Chen Chu glanced at the two of them meaningfully, hehe, the taste of the ancients had a very low tolerance for spiciness, and the dried chili peppers just boiled the spicy taste into the soup, this is really hot and spicy, it can't be compared, you two just endure it.

Seeing the two people covering their mouths and shouting for water, Yuzhu and the girls hurriedly went to find the cooled tea.

The two of them poured into their stomachs, and their brows were released, and then they couldn't wait to put their chopsticks in.

"What kind of mess is in this tea, it's tea cubes, vinegar, and petals."

Chen Chu looked at the tea put in front of him, and he was about to vomit, this Datang tea is really not flattering, I still drink boiled water.

The maids brought several teapots, which were all cooled boiling water, this thing was much cooler, and under Chen Chu's greeting, several maids also took dishes and chopsticks to eat, but deliberately stayed away from the host and the two guests.

Chen Chu came by himself throughout the whole process, and if he ate hot pot, he was not afraid of too many dishes at all, and it was not enough to eat a few catties of vegetables alone, not to mention that Lao Sun Lao Li looked like that kind of big man in Guanzhong, tall and strong.

The dishes decreased little by little, Chen Chu added seasoning twice in the middle, and the last time the seasoning began to fade, a group of people finally couldn't eat.

Half of the fresh vegetables on the table were basically eaten, and the fat body of the eldest grandson Wuji was slumped on the chair, burping and squinting, feeling that there were no regrets in life.

Li Er even almost spoke, and directly sent Chen Chu to the palace to cook, Nima's he is an emperor, and the things made by the imperial chef are not worthy of Chen Chu's shoes, he is uncomfortable.

Yuzhu's group of people began to clean up, and seeing that they planned to carefully store the rest of the pot bottom, Chen Chu said: "The bottom of this pot can't be used, the taste has been boiled, it's best not to drink it again." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji almost didn't scold, there are obviously still spices in it, and it's so fragrant, don't you eat it for me!

So at the insistence of the two, the remaining half pot of soup was poured out, picked up by Lao Li and Lao Sun's family, and carefully sent all the way home.

"Yo, Lao Li, Lao Sun, I can't see it, you two look at the two of you, and you still have your tail behind you, I think this Chang'an City is quite safe, and I'm afraid that someone will harm you?" Chen Chu quipped.

The two smiled awkwardly, if Chen Chu thought that Lao Li and Lao Sun might not need to be followed, but they weren't, such a high status and rights, no matter how they traveled in micro-service, how could there be no one around them to protect them secretly? Isn't that.

"It's really delicious in the world, if this hot pot can be promoted, it will be a blessing for my Tang Dynasty!" Li Er couldn't help but cherish the world again.

Chen Chu said with a smile: "Lao Li, don't be obscene, tell you that this is impossible, the production of this hot pot copper stove is very complicated, involving strict organs, and it is difficult for the most powerful craftsmen to make it." ”

"Even if the hot pot really spreads, I'm afraid it can only stop at the upper circles."

The two nodded as a matter of course, the price of this delicious food knows how high it is, not to mention the copper pot, just the hot pot seasoning, the same gold can never be exchanged.

"But everything is not absolute, if it is a carbon furnace, ordinary people can also burn it, but it's too early to say this, let's talk about it later."

Chen Chu said that the coal output in the Tang Dynasty is almost equal to nothing, and there is only a small amount of supply for dignitaries and mints, and it is impossible for the common people to popularize it.

"It's a pity that Datang is still poor."

Chen Chu suddenly burst out with a boundless sentence, and the two subconsciously inquired.

Chen Chu said: "If Datang is rich enough to build a road from Chang'an to Guanzhong Prefecture, the distance between the two is very close anyway, and the carriages and horses are unimpeded, and there is no loss at all." At that time, even if there is any turmoil in Guanzhong, or even if Guanlong is invaded by foreign races, Datang will respond as soon as possible and rescue it as soon as possible. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji almost walked over and touched Chen Chu's forehead, this child is so dignified, it can't be that he eats hot pot and has a fever, right?

"I don't have a road in Datang?" Li Er asked in wonder, if he wasn't a person from Guanzhong, he would have almost been confused by Chen Chu.

Chen Chu shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm not talking about an ordinary road, you know Vermilion Bird Avenue, right?" ”

Suzaku Avenue is also known as Tianmen Street, one hundred and fifty meters wide and ten miles long, which is a symbol of Chang'an City's prosperity, how could the two not know.

"You mean to build a road like that?" Li Er and the eldest grandson Wuji were stupid directly, damn, the ghost knows how much manpower and material resources are needed to build that kind of road, how many livestock are exhausted, and how much grain is spent in the national treasury.

Repair to the Guanzhong states? Excuse me!

The price has been so great that the two of them can't think of it, it is very troublesome to build roads, and the transportation of all kinds of materials of masonry is the most difficult.

"Cowardly? Damn, it's not the money you two spend, and you know how much benefit it can be after it's repaired? Forget it, you don't understand it, not to mention to be honest, I can't even look at the road on Suzaku Street, it's muddy on a rainy day, what's so good. ”

At this time, Datang was not extravagant enough to pave the ground with stone slabs, Suzaku Avenue was too big, and it couldn't afford such a project.

"I can't even look at Suzaku Street, what's wrong, you can only see the stone slabs in the palace?" Li Er almost didn't shoot the case, and this Chen Chu could make him angry half to death from time to time.

The money for road construction is not his Li Er's money, but unfortunately he can't say it.

"That's for sure." Chen Chu said as a matter of course, seeing that the mood of the two people fluctuated very much, and he also knew that he might not be able to accept what he said, and said with a smile: "But don't worry, I said the road conditions of Suzaku Avenue, but I didn't say that I wanted it to be as wide." ”

Li Er's expression eased slightly.

He explained: "Because the Vermilion Bird Road not only shows the strength of my Datang, but also ensures the safety of the royal ceremonial guard in the southern suburbs, when the road is closed, the bows and arrows shot from the left and right roads will be exhausted because of the spaciousness of the road. ”

"That's right, build a road about three zhang wide according to the standard of Suzaku, and from then on, the speed and wear and tear of the carriages and horses will be unprecedentedly changed, the marching time can be greatly shortened, and the convenience of transporting money, food, materials and merchants will be unprecedentedly improved."

Chen Chu explained the importance of roads, in fact, the ancients did not know how important roads were, otherwise Emperor Qin would not have built galloping roads regardless of national conditions.

The problem is that they know it's important, but they don't know how important it is, and Chen Chu is telling them now that it's very, very important.
