Chapter 9: Here comes a group of rubbers
In fact, asking for the fireworks formula is the real purpose of the eldest grandson Wuji.
He is different from Cheng Yanjin, he is from a family, and his family has been in business for generations.
When he saw the fireworks, he knew that this thing could definitely make money, and it could make a lot of money.
In fact, even if he didn't look for Li Chengqian, he would find a high-class craftsman to study for a few days and figure out the production method.
But Li Chengqian is his nephew after all, and he doesn't want to rob his nephew's things.
In case this nephew ascends to the throne in the future, he is afraid that he will be put in small shoes.
Rather than this, it is better to do business with him, and treat it as a poor nephew who is an uncle and a helper.
"Since my uncle has spoken, this is naturally no problem."
Li Chengqian didn't even hesitate, and nodded directly.
After all, the reason why he researched this thing in the first place was to make money, but because of his young age and Li Shimin's refusal, he never implemented it.
Now that the eldest grandson Wuji is helping him out, he really can't ask for it.
However, Li Chengqian also secretly admired his cheap uncle.
Cheng Yanjin just wanted to take advantage, and after he saw the fireworks, he could think of doing business.
The first old yin ...... of the Tang Dynasty
Well......
Smart people, if they really live up to their name......
"When I get back, I'll record the recipe for the fireworks and send it to my uncle's house."
"In that case, then I'll go first."
……
After sending away a few old hooligans, Li Chengqian felt very helpless.
I was robbed one after another, and my young heart suffered a huge trauma, and I urgently needed a delicious meal to make up for it.
Coincidentally, Li Chongyi came to the door.
Li Chongyi secretly walked to Li Chengqian's side with two jars of wine, and said, "Don't say cousin, I'm fooling you, these two jars of wine are the best in my old man's wine store, and the old man is reluctant to drink them on weekdays." ”
After speaking, he also added: "Just the fish you made for me last time, another pot, and today the two of us will not get drunk and go home." ”
Although the Tang Dynasty was strong, its cooking skills were really backward.
Therefore, in addition to Li Chengqian's dislike of the lack of entertainment projects in this era, he also dislikes the food of this era.
So, after he became independent, he trained a little eunuch by himself, and made food for himself every day.
Li Chongyi only ate it once by chance, and then set his sights on Li Chengqian.
"Damn, you're here to eat again?"
Li Chengqian's face was full of helplessness.
Although my family's food is delicious, I don't have to come over twice in three days.
Didn't he know that Li Shimin was an emperor who was diligent and thrifty?
His pocket money as a prince is not even as good as that of a vassal prince, right?
However, there are also things that make Li Chengqian happy, Li Chongyi is not like those old hooligans, at least he knows how to bring something for himself.
In desperation, Li Chengqian could only choose to accept it.
Then he told the kitchen to go down and cook.
"Big brother, we're coming to see you!"
Just as Li Chengqian and Li Chongyi were chatting in the side room and waiting for the meal to start, several small figures came into view.
These people are not outsiders, they are Li Ke, the king of Han, Li Tai, the king of Wei, and Li Liqing, the princess of Changle.
After shouting big brother, several people jumped into the courtyard.
Li Lizhi didn't look like a princess at all, and pounced directly on Li Chengqian's body.
This guy has been favored by Li Shimin since he was a child, and he is definitely the most favored among the children of Taizong.
Li Chengqian also had no sister and was single in his previous life, so he liked this little sister very much.
So when this guy was in front of Li Chengqian, he simply let himself go.
Li Chengqian rubbed Li Liqian's head, put her on the ground, and then looked at everyone: "Why did you come to me when you didn't stay in the palace?" ”
"Of course, I'm here to see Big Brother."
"What, isn't Big Brother welcome?"
Li Li's expression was resentful, and she said in a milky voice: "Father is the most eccentric, the eldest brother can have such a big courtyard outside, and we can only live in the palace." ”
Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't laugh or cry.
Is it bad to live in a royal palace?
I don't know how many people in the world want to live and don't have a chance.
Li Chengqian shook his head helplessly, and just when he wanted to speak, Li Lizhi suddenly spoke: "Ah, what kind of smell is this, why is it so fragrant?" ”
"It's just, I'm going to drool."
The round little fat man Li Tai also chimed in: "Big brother, what are you doing here?" ”
Yes, there is another group of rubbing rice.
Li Chengqian said helplessly: "Okay, don't ask, let's stay for dinner for a while, just finish eating, and when I go back, I just bring some back to my father and queen mother." ”
"Thank you, big brother!"
Although these are the princes and princesses who have been crowned kings and princesses, the food they eat on weekdays is not all delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Of course, all this is mainly due to their lofty Lao Tzu, who was determined to be a saint and benevolent monarch on the first day of his accession to the throne, so he took his wife and children to live frugally.
There is evidence in history that these princes in the early Tang Dynasty were the poorest of the princes of all dynasties.
It is no wonder that Li Li said that Comrade Li Er was biased, mainly because the lives of these people were really not as easy as Li Chengqian's living outside the palace.
At this time, Xiao Chuzi came over to report: "Your Highness, the banquet has been prepared, may I ask if it is placed in the main hall or here?" ”
"The main hall, where can it be more spacious."
After speaking, Li Chengqian also got up and walked towards the main hall with his younger brothers and sisters and Li Chongyi, who had long been hungry and thirsty.
When we arrived in the hall, the round table had been set up and the food had been served.
"What kind of fish is this, why is it so fragrant......"
Looking at the large pot of fish and meat placed in the middle of the big table, the drooling of Li Tai, Li Ke, and Li Lizhi all slipped out.
"How's it going, Xiang?"
"This dish is called catfish stewed eggplant, and only the chef here can make it, not even the imperial chef in the palace."
Li Chongyi's look like I've seen the world is really funny.
And Li Chongyi didn't treat himself as an outsider, and began to feast after sitting down.
Li Chengqian glanced at the few little guys beside him: "If you don't do it, the fish will be eaten by this guy." ”
Hearing this, several people did not delay and took action one after another.
Stewed with fresh catfish and eggplant, the fish and eggplant are mixed together to make the catfish fat but not greasy, the eggplant is fresh and fragrant, and the meat and vegetables complement each other.
The eggplant sticks to the aroma of the catfish, and the catfish has the flavor of eggplant.
It can be enjoyed with wine or food.
Later generations of people who eat all kinds of flavors in the world have no resistance to this dish, let alone in such an era of extremely backward cooking skills.
After eating a few chopsticks, Li Chongyi suddenly felt enjoyable, opened the wine jar on the side and asked Xiao Chuzi to help him take the wine cup, and said while pouring the wine: "This is a good wine treasured by my old man, the mellow aroma is not on the top, none of you are allowed to leave today, we will not get drunk and return." ”
"If you don't get drunk, you don't go home......"
After hearing Li Chongyi's words, the muscles on Li Chengqian's face trembled twice: "That, cousin......"
"What's wrong?"
"That is, do you think what will happen if my father knows about it, and you take the four of us to drink?"
