Chapter 45: A Delicious Appetizer

Li Zheng, who was dreaming a sweet dream, was woken up by Li Yifu and opened his eyes to look around, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Yifu whispered: "General Li Jing is back, just waiting outside." ”

Li Zheng got out of bed and cleaned up and asked, "When did you come?" ”

"It's been a while, and I haven't even gone to see Your Majesty, so I came to our village." Li Yifu said.

I washed my face, let myself quickly come to my senses, and when I walked out of the house, I saw this middle-aged man.

He was standing straight and looking at himself, he looked like he was forty years old, and his eyes were very sharp.

"You're younger than I thought." Li Jing opened his mouth and said.

"Under Li Zheng, I have seen General Li Jing." Li Zheng saluted slightly.

Li Jing walked up to Li Zheng and whispered, "Your Tui'en order in Chang'an allows us to take Yinshan without bloodshed. ”

"General Li Jing has won the award." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Li Jing continued: "In fact, before your strategy, tens of thousands of our soldiers were ready to attack, but the attack is the next strategy, and many soldiers will be sacrificed. ”

After speaking, Li Jing bent down and saluted.

Li Zheng also hurriedly saluted, "General, don't do this." ”

Li Jing glanced at Su Dingfang behind him and said: "He is Su Dingfang, if you encounter any difficulties, tell Su Dingfang, and let him tell the old man." ”

"You're welcome, General."

After Li Jing finished speaking, he left.

Do you mean to cover yourself when you listen to words?

Li Jing, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty, covered himself, what kind of experience was that.

After bidding farewell to Li Jing, Li Zheng turned his head to look at Su Dingfang, looking at the appearance that he was fifteen or sixteen years old, but there was an ordinary person without spirit in his eyes.

The people brought out by General Li Jing are really different.

Su Dingfang glanced at Li Zheng more and kept his appearance in mind.

When Li Jing returned to Chang'an, he didn't go to see Li Er, and after returning home, he closed the door and closed the door.

Li Jing did this, and Li Shimin didn't say anything.

The rest of the generals should still be rewarded, and Chang'an City should still celebrate.

Half of the 3,000 houses in Jingyang County have been completed.

A spirits workshop was completed in Jingyang.

Cheng Chumo looked at the liquor workshop and sighed: "From now on, we will never drink that horse urine-like Sanle pulp again." ”

Li Zheng and Cheng Chumo signed and drew the pledge, and they provided their own technology and manpower, and Cheng Chumo came up with the raw materials for aging.

Datang's wine is rare, and it is rare for ordinary people to have a drink.

To make a spirit, it takes a lot of aging to distill and blend, and the cost is also high.

If you want to brew in large quantities, you can't do it without Cheng Biting Jin's way.

The two agreed to divide the profits into 37, Li Zheng took 7, and the Cheng family took 30%.

Sitting at the stone table of the newly built winery, Li Zheng brought a pot of boiled peanuts and a pot of pig's ears in front of Cheng Chumo.

"What is this?" Cheng Chumo curiously picked up a section of peanuts.

"Peanuts." Li Zheng said.

Cheng Chumo learned from Li Zheng's appearance and ate it raw, "Hmm! Delicious. ”

After another bite of pig ears, Cheng Chumo poured another sip of wine, "Comfortable!" ”

The pig's ears are added with spicy dogwood, which can also add some flavor.

While the two were eating, Li Tai hurriedly came, "So you are here." ”

As soon as he sat down, Li Tai smelled the aroma of wine, "This is ......"

"Of course it's spirits." Cheng Chumo poured a bowl of wine for Li Tai and said, "Don't hide it from His Royal Highness King Wei, this liquor is now only my Cheng family's own." ”

Looking at the clear wine, Li Tai said in a low voice: "I have only drunk it once, and it is still a small bottle rewarded by my father, but I didn't expect you to drink such a strong wine every day." ”

"Not anymore." Li Zheng said.

Li Tai's eyes were resentful: "You have all drunk such a good drink, and I have a hard time haha, you two are too boring." ”

Looking at the two dishes on the table, Li Tai asked, "What kind of dish is this?" ”

"Pig ears and peanuts." Li Zheng said.

"I haven't heard of it." Li Tai picked up a piece of pig ears and ate it, the cartilage was very brittle and elastic.

"Is this pork?"

"Of course the pig's ears are pork."

Cheng Chumo looked at Li Tai and said proudly: "How is it?" It's delicious, I haven't eaten it. ”

It was the first time Li Tai had eaten pork since he was a child, and his eyes were red when he ate pig ears and drank spirits.

Li Zheng asked, "His Royal Highness King Wei, why are your eyes red?" ”

After eating another mouthful of peanuts and taking a sip of wine, Li Tai sniffed and said embarrassedly: "Li Zheng, you don't know, don't look at me as a prince, they all say that I am the King of Wei, how noble I am, and now I want to come to my life is not as good as you." ”

Li Zheng refilled Li Tai's drinks and said: "His Royal Highness King Wei said that he laughed, if I had your identity, I would go to the street every day to tease the women of good families." ”

Li Tai patted the table and said, "Confidant, I've wanted to do this for a long time." ”

The aunts in the village brought a bowl of stewed pork and dipped it in dogwood.

Li Tai took a bite of fat and thin pork, stayed with tears in his eyes, and said sadly: "Li Zheng, there is no money in the palace, and my life is also bitter, your pork is so delicious." ”

Li Zheng sighed that Li Tai seemed to have been abused in Chang'an.

Drinking the wine, Li Tai said again: "It is said that pork is cheap meat, but now I know that this pork is also fragrant." ”

Li Zheng comforted: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, drinking is drinking, don't be so excited." ”

"Can I not get excited? Since last year, I haven't been able to eat a meal of meat for a month. ”

The more Li Tai spoke, the more excited he became, "My father advocated frugality and not extravagance, but I suffered, and I was still growing up." ”

Recently, the Tang Dynasty has to deal with the war with the Turks, and the granary of the treasury is so empty, so it points to a bumper harvest year this year.

If he wants to tide over the difficulties, Li Shimin must be diligent and thrifty by example, and he must not be extravagant and wasteful from the prince to the various public magnates.

Seeing Li Tai crying while drinking, Li Zheng asked Cheng Chumo in a low voice, "Did he drink like this before?" ”

"I haven't drunk much with His Royal Highness King Wei." Cheng Chumo whispered.

Li Zheng looked at Li Tai's heartbroken appearance while drinking, and said, "It seems that the wine is not good." ”

"I see." Cheng Chumo also nodded.

Li Tai took another bite of pork with tears in his eyes, "This meat is so refreshing." ”

gave Li Tai a large pot of meat to eat, and Cheng Chumo kept eating peanuts in his mouth, as if he couldn't stop.

Cheng Chu smiled and said: "This peanut is really a good thing, and I am not so drunk after drinking two bowls of spirits." ”
