It is absolutely not an exaggeration to build such a road, the merit is in the present and the benefits are in the future.

And it is not like asphalt roads, there are no heavy vehicles, all kinds of wear and tear repair is relatively simple, road maintenance will not cost too much money, and completely open up Chang'an and Guanzhong, which means that all the big and small problems in Guanzhong states will not be a problem.

As soon as there is a wind and grass, it is faced with the speed of Chang'an City's speed.

"The current road is completely sufficient, and Datang really has no money left to do this."

Li Er also felt that what Chen Chu said made sense, but the treasury really couldn't come up with the money, imagine that the road between the two places is as smooth and comfortable as riding a carriage in Chang'an City, how much improvement should it bring to the exchange between the two places?

Li Er is not unshaken, he is really shy.

"Okay, then we agree, when Datang has money, you will report how it is, I'm afraid that you will speak lightly, and the Son of Heaven will not listen." Chen Chu really thinks about the people of the world, otherwise he would not have made such a suggestion.

"People are soft-spoken? It doesn't exist, the two of us still have some ability, you don't have to worry about this. ”

Li Er smiled, the prosperity of Datang is inevitable, but with Chen Chu's help, he feels that Datang may be more prosperous and powerful, and when the time comes, the treasury will really be full, so he waved his hand and promised Chen Chu what about it.

If the results are obvious, he will go to Luoyang and Hebei to repair.

The time was really late, the two planned to leave, and today they came to find Chen Chu, not only solved the doubts about the problem in Guanzhong, but also came into contact with hot pot, which was really satisfying.

After returning to the harem, Li Er was in a very good mood, and the eldest grandson queen asked the reason, Li Er suddenly felt a little guilty, such a delicious thing was not tasted by the queen, sin, sin.

"It's not a surprise from Chen Chu, by the way, while the soup is still fresh, you hurry up and call people, Changle them, as well as Chengqian, Tai'er, Ke'er, Concubine Yang, Concubine Wei, Concubine Yan, I have something good to share with you today!"

Li Er remembered the soup base he brought back, and said in a hurry, so Empress Eldest Sun didn't ask much, and hurriedly sent someone to call someone.

Although Chen Chu said that the bottom of the pot that had been eaten by them for so long was no longer edible, Li Er didn't think so, he didn't understand what nutrient loss and the like, he felt that this thing was delicious, and if he didn't share it with his family, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

At this time, it was the second year of Zhenguan, and Li Er's larger princes were all born around the third year of Wude, so they all moved out now, but with an order from their father, they were still brought by the people in the palace as soon as possible.

Princess Xiangcheng, Princess Runan, and Princess Nanping, who were not the daughters of the eldest grandson, were also called.

The hall is bustling, non-holidays and major ceremonies, spring and autumn outings, etc., so many people in the family get together, which makes everyone very curious.

Soon an internal official arrived with a delicate little ding, and raised a fire with refined coal under the ding, which was not mass-produced in later generations, but was hand-picked out of the mine one by one for the use of the nobles.

"Why is it burning so slowly, the fragrance hasn't risen yet."

In front of a group of family members, Li Er anxiously walked back and forth in front of Dingqian with his hands behind his back.

Chen Chu's guy that copper pot, they didn't come back to their senses before the water opened, his Ding is light and thin, and he is already the best in the palace, but it is so slow that it doesn't even bubble.

"Father, what is this?" Li Lizhi asked in a sweet voice.

Li Er explained: "This is a new way to eat food developed by Chen Chu, today I had a full meal with your uncle, this is the remaining soup, extremely delicious, you don't swallow your tongue for a while." ”

Li Lizhi hadn't smelled the fragrance yet, so she swallowed her saliva at this time.

She knew that Brother Chen Chu, the potatoes, peppers, and corn she had enjoyed in the past few days were made by him, and when she thought of his arm again, Li Lizhi's eyes began to turn palatable.

Concubine Yang hasn't seen Li Ke for a while, and she is also very happy to see her unexpected mother and son today, Li Ke, who is ten years old, told her some things outside the palace and herself, which made Concubine Yang feel good.

At the same time, he asked in a low voice, "Mother, who is this Chen Chu?" Now in the upper echelons of Chang'an City, many people are quietly discussing him. ”

Concubine Yang sighed with emotion: "I don't know the specific concubine, I only know that he is a young genius, which impresses His Majesty and the eldest grandson, even if he does not enter the court as an official, I am afraid that the holy favor he enjoys is by no means comparable to ordinary adults." ”

Li Ke is so big, and he is the prince of the concubine, he already knows the complexity of the world and people's hearts.

He deeply knows how lucky an ordinary young man is to be able to win the favor of these two figures, and he is also fascinated and admired.

"Ke'er, if you come across a suitable opportunity, you can get in touch with this Lord Chen Chu, but don't deliberately interact with the other party, let Your Majesty know, or be disgusted by Chen Chu, it will be counterproductive."

Concubine Yang whispered, the precocious Li Ke nodded obediently, not daring to disobey his mother's wishes, not to mention that he was really curious.

Finally, the soup in Dingnei began to smoke, and the fragrance began to spread, and everyone stared at Dingzhong, and the moment the fragrance hit, they finally knew why His Majesty called them here at night.

The taste of fairy in the world! It's really a fairy flavor in the world!

The princes and princesses who couldn't hide their thoughts began to swallow saliva one by one, and the reaction of the adults was not much better.

Under Li Er's orders, a palace person had already brought a large number of vegetables, and after the water boiled, Li Er learned from Chen Chu's previous appearance, and first put the mushrooms, bamboo shoots and tofu that were not easy to cook.

He felt that the taste was a little light, before they were eating it, Chen Chu occasionally added some spices.

Now more than a dozen people deal with such leftovers, and they will inevitably have to add some seasoning by themselves for a while, but in general, it is harmless, and it is a shock to the family members who have never eaten hot pot.

As for the complete hot pot base, it can only depend on when Chen Chu can still have it, and no matter what conditions he puts forward at that time, he will have to answer in exchange for it if it is not excessive.

Of course, with his understanding of Chen Chu, he is very interesting to his friends, and there is a high probability that he will not put forward any conditions to them, which is also what he admires most about Chen Chu, and he is still on top of his talent.

The dishes can be cooked, Li Er took matters into his own hands, first put a chopstick in the bowl of the eldest grandson queen, and then Changle, Yuzhang, Li Chengqian, etc., everyone tasted it one after another, and they all showed happy expressions.

"Your Majesty, can we enjoy this delicacy often in the future?"

Concubine Yan couldn't help it, and asked Li Er in a coquettish voice, this thing is too fatal, if you can only eat it this time, what a punishment it must be.

"Don't worry, give Chen Chu a little time, we will definitely be able to enjoy it often in the future!" Li Er helped Chen Chu make a guarantee.

Thanks to Chen Chu, he didn't know that Li Er used the leftovers of the hot pot to cook for a large number of concubines, queens, princes and princesses, otherwise he would have to be in tears.

It's not easy, it's not easy for everyone, so why not give you a new packet of spices?

The taste of the base is getting lighter and lighter, and the imperial kitchen has added seasoning several times, until the taste has really lost that deliciousness, and everyone stopped chopsticks.

Li Er's stomach was stuffed a little more, and he slept with a swollen Meizizi, and he felt that after waking up in the morning, he would definitely have better energy to deal with court affairs.
