Chapter 8: The Tavern Is Going Close
It didn't take long for people's saliva to be uncontrollable, especially Jieli's sons, who yelled in a hurry: "Father Khan, are you still okay?" Hurry up and bring it out for us to taste! ”
Jieli whipped away the most cheerful son with a whip, and saw that the heat was almost over, so he began to distribute the broth to everyone, and he himself couldn't wait to blow it, and first took a sip of the soup.
"The sky is above, this smell, this taste is really god!"
"I've never had such a delicious mutton soup when I'm so old! It's fucking for nothing! ”
"That's what that dried chili pepper does? I can't stand it, I can do twenty bowls of this broth in one go! ”
"Hahaha, did you hear it, he can't do twenty bowls, let's open his mouth and pour it in!"
There was a cheer near the big tent, Jieli himself was full of oil, squinting his eyes and enjoying it incomparably, not to mention others, and the messengers also got their wishes and received the reward, one by one they were overjoyed.
"Great Khan, the sheep and horses, do we really want to give them to Datang?" The subordinate asked suddenly.
Jieli, who was eating well, had to put down the dishes and chopsticks and began to think.
I don't know how to plant this pepper, according to the convention, there must be no play on the grassland, and it is extremely precious, so many dignitaries and nobles in the court are eating it for the first time, and they got so many bags at once.
Although it was detrimental to the majesty of the Turkic Khanate, Jieli finally decided to give Datang a little perfunctory, and finally decided to give back 3,000 sheep and 1,000 horses to Datang, just like Datang, only 30%.
The news soon reached the court, and the Turks, who were as greedy as wolves, sent sheep and horses for the first time, and according to the informant, they had set off immediately, and they would soon arrive at the border of Youzhou in the north.
In any case, this was a diplomatic victory over the arrogant Turks, and it turned out that the dried pepper was indeed very fatal, and it hit the heart of the meat-thirsty steppe barbarians.
"Good, good! After the order went down, after the sheep and horses arrived in Youzhou, they were received and processed by the governor of Youzhou, and slaughtered and rewarded the border guards! Li Er read the paperwork, excitedly sent the order, and under the agitation of the mood, he summoned some confidant ministers to conduct the inner court in the Liangyi Palace, and the internal officials served food, and everyone had a small plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes in front of them.
The content of the Inner Dynasty is precisely to discuss the cultivation of potatoes.
"Your Majesty, thirty stones per mu, how is this possible? That's more than 10 times more than our usual crop! Du Ruhui, the secretary of the ministry, screamed, unable to accept the words he heard, and the reaction of the others was similar.
Gao Shilian asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, is this young man a liar, trying to win His Majesty's trust in order to achieve his goals?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head: "No, Your Majesty and I walked casually that day, it was a pure coincidence that I met the young man, he woke up with a hangover at the time, and you have all seen these foods, not to mention its yield, just the taste, it is enough to improve my Datang's eating habits." ”
Everyone nodded, since tasting this sour and spicy shredded potatoes and enjoying the delicious broth, they had no interest in the usual food, even if the yield of this potato was not high, but at least it was no problem to supply them.
Li Er smiled: "Do you know that the official position I gave to that young man, and the people of Sinong Temple reciprocated, he has not taken office until now, this is not a person who pursues fame and fortune, I believe that this potato is probably really an unprecedentedly high-yield crop in my Tang Dynasty." ”
"If that's the case, it's really a blessing for the people of the world, and a blessing for my Datang Society!" Fang Xuanling sighed, it is extremely delicious, and there is a terrifying output, people in the world are not only hungry to death, but also can enjoy food, such a beautiful scenery, even they can hardly imagine.
"Haha, listen to that kid, there are many ways to eat this potato, but he didn't elaborate at the time, you guys disperse first, and then I will inquire."
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, where did Li Er look like an emperor now, he looked like a gossip lover, but they naturally looked forward to it in their hearts, who didn't want to serve their five internal organs temple better.
So, at noon, the two came to the tavern again, and as soon as they entered, they saw Chen Chu leaning against the wall with Erlang's legs crossed, drinking with a cup in his hand, and picking up the dishes in the bowl with chopsticks.
"Chen Chu, what are you eating?" Li Er's eyes were sharp, and he saw the dishes on his plate at a glance, smelled an unusual fragrance, and immediately asked.
"Lao Li, Lao Sun, you are here, hey, I'm afraid that my tavern won't be able to open, there is no business, and I have to borrow wine to kill my sorrows." Chen Chu sighed, and the chopsticks took out a small thin piece of vegetable in the plate, soaked it in the soup at the bottom of the plate, put it wet in his mouth, and chewed it fragrantly.
Li Er and Eldest Sun Wuji stared directly at the things on the chopsticks until he fell into Chen Chu's mouth, a somewhat rich and pungent, but tantalizing fragrance rushed straight into his nose, and the two of them could only distinguish one of the tastes, that is, the sour taste of vinegar.
"No business?" Li Er was slightly stunned, he almost didn't pat his thigh, no business is good, hurry up and close your broken tavern, go to Sinong Temple to be your errand, and farm for Datang! And then it's okay to surprise me a little more, can you compare a tavern to my reward?
Chen Chu took two pairs of chopsticks and handed them to the two, the two of them were naturally not polite at all, as soon as the sleeves were rolled up, they began to pick up the dishes, when they put it in their mouths, the two of them lost their minds together, their heads shut down, and a deadly sour, numb, and spicy smell rushed to the top of their heads, although they felt a little choked at first, but then they secreted saliva crazily, and the two almost bit their tongues and swallowed the unknown vegetable flakes.
"What is this, what is this!" Li Er immediately asked, he instantly fell in love with this taste, this cold dish with rich flavors, he felt that if the imperial chef couldn't make it in the future, then he wouldn't want to eat.
"What are you excited about, shoot cucumbers, haven't you eaten them?" Chen Chu looked at the two people who were extremely excited, and complained wildly in his heart,, it doesn't matter if you haven't seen anything else, didn't cucumbers flow into China in the Han Dynasty, you are also officials in Chang'an County, so you are so ignorant.
"Ding, the system detects your complaining behavior, the spit value is +100, reward a bottle of soy sauce, and the location is in the kitchen."
Good guy, the soy sauce is also here, Chen Chu's heart moved, in fact, this plate of cucumbers was not made by himself, but was directly given to him by the system after the previous complaint, otherwise with the condiments of the Tang Dynasty, he really couldn't make up the delicious taste after blending.
