Chen Chu stepped forward, lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it, sniffed it with his nose, and asked, "Huh?" This practice seems to be from Chang'an Dada Restaurant, how do you two know about it? ”

As soon as Chen Chu smelled it, he smelled spices like star anise.

Originally, these things were medicinal herbs in Datang, not condiments for cooking and eating.

Except for Chang'an Dada Restaurant, few outsiders know this secret recipe.

And it was taught by Chen Chu.

Li Zhi looked at Chen Chu, then at Li Chengqian, and then shook his head.

Li Chengqian said very honorably: "Chen Chu, this is what we asked for from the chef of Chang'an Dada Restaurant. ”

Chen Chu: "......"

Outsiders do this, but they are afraid that they will be beaten to death by those cooks.

But Li Chengqian and Li Zhi went out at the same time, one was the prince and the other was the king of Jin, so they naturally came to arrest him.

Chen Chu pulled the two apart and said, "Watch from the side, that's not how you make a fire......

He picked up the blowtorch, took out part of the firewood stuffed in the earthen stove, hollowed out the middle, took the blowtorch and blew it a few times, it burned, and the smoke in the yard gradually dissipated, Chen Chu picked up the wooden scoop and tried it, and then added salt and other condiments.

It didn't take long for the water in the iron pot to boil, and a fragrance wafted out.

Li Chengqian and Li Zhi were like two starving ghosts, guarding the edge of the pot, motionless.

Li Chengqian said: "I slaughtered this chicken, I went to the hair, and I chopped the chicken nuggets, Chen Chu, what do you think of me?" ”

Chen Chu said happily: "Your Highness, you have learned to be self-reliant, I still remember what I said to you at the beginning, even if you are a prince, you should learn to have enough food and clothing, if nothing else, just to experience life, and life can be colorful......

Li Chengqian nodded: "You're right, the life of being a prince is boring, every day is either reading books and reciting scriptures, or studying political affairs, there is no fun at all, but since I met you, I have found a lot of fun, running is fun, leading the student union is also fun, and now, making chickens is also fun......"

Hearing this, Li Zhi next to him raised his head and asked: "Chen Chu, Brother Prince is right, making chickens is also very fun, but I am not a person who eats for nothing, I brought this water, and I ordered someone to get this firewood, tell me about me......"

He also wanted Chen Chu to boast about himself.

Chen Chu was a little speechless: "His Royal Highness King Jin, you are also very good." ”

"Oh, that's great, I'm going to tell my father that I'm also great, lest he say that I don't do anything all day, and I only know how to eat delicious." Li Zhi felt very happy.

"The chicken is cooked."

Chen Chu said.

Li Chengqian and Li Zhi immediately turned around and rushed up with dishes and chopsticks.

Each of them holds a pair of chopsticks.

!

You won't even take mine?

Chen Chu stared at the two brothers.

Li Chengqian was unmoved.

Li Zhi was a little embarrassed to be looked at, and handed over his dishes and chopsticks, "Chen Chu, give it to you, I'll go outside and get another pair." ”

As he spoke, he rushed out of the yard with a thud and took a new pair.

Then, the three of them squatted on the edge of the earthen stove and began to eat the chicken happily.

Li Chengqian said: "I heard that there was an accident in the Western Regions, and the 200,000 troops of the Tubo people were approaching Shanzhou, and it was too late for the imperial court to dispatch troops, and Shanzhou was probably going to be lost." You're from the Manna Palace, why don't you tell your father about our plan? ”

Chen Chu ate a piece of chicken liver and asked, "Your Highness is talking about Xue Rengui?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded: "At the beginning, you told me that Xue Rengui and these people could be used as a surprise army to sneak attack Tubo and save my Tang Dynasty from disaster, so I privately used the big seal of the East Palace to send Xue Rengui and them to the Western Regions, and now as you predicted, the Tubo people really sent troops, why don't you tell Xue Rengui and others?" ”

Outsiders only knew that Chen Chu sent Xue Rengui and others to the Western Regions to find salt mines, and only Li Chengqian knew the purpose of those people.

Chen Chu shook his head and said cautiously: "Your Highness, it's too early to talk about this, Xue Rengui and the others are said to have arrived in Tubo, but whether they can act according to the plan or not, everything is hard to say, the current Tubo, most of the areas, are still barren land, thieves are rampant, wild beasts are raging, don't forget, there are only a dozen of them, the most important thing is that Changsun Chong also followed, Changsun Chong is a powerless bastard, what do you expect him to do?" ”

Li Chengqian nodded: "You're right, Cousin Eldest Sun is indeed a bastard. ”

After a pause, he said again: "Then, it's better to keep this matter quiet, if ...... I mean, if Xue Rengui and the others can't come back and stay in the Western Regions forever, I will inform the world about this matter and ask my father to reward them, although they didn't succeed, they are all warriors of the Tang Dynasty......"

A little fat man, squatting next to him and eating chicken without saying a word, looked up from time to time, looked at Chen Chu, and then looked at Li Chengqian, showing a look of doubt, but he buried his head and continued to eat.

……

Early morning.

Western regions.

The capital of Tibet, Luoqi, is more than 100 miles to the north.

A small lake with a few tents.

A dark-faced guy squatted by the lake, picked up two handfuls of cold water and washed his face, washing the dirt and dust off his face before he raised his head and looked at the mountain peaks in the distance.

Tall mountain peaks lie in the distance, as if they were the Tien Shan.

The middle and upper part of the mountain is white.

Seeing him stand up, Nuo Nuo said to himself: "If there is no order from the boss and the prince, I, Xue Rengui, am afraid that I will never go to this kind of place in my life." ”

Everything around him, the customs, and the natural environment are completely different from what he has been exposed to before.

The sky here is pure blue.

It's hot in the middle of the day, but it's cold in the evening.

Everything made Xue Rengui and his friends come to amazement.

A man came over and said, "Da Lang, when will we be able to complete the task and go back?" The eldest grandson Chong began to sprinkle again. ”

"Let's go, meet him!"

Xue Rengui and the man came to a tent.

I saw the eldest grandson Chong holding a thick animal skin coat, sitting by the firewood, shivering.

His eyes were scattered, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were dirty, and he could smell a rancid smell from afar.

Seeing Xue Rengui, the eldest grandson rushed forward like crazy, grabbed Xue Rengui by the collar, and asked hoarsely, "Bastard, how long will you hide from me?" You said that when you arrived in Tibet, you told me the tasks assigned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why didn't you tell me? ”

Xue Rengui looked at the crazy eldest grandson Chong and said, "Eldest grandson, don't be impatient, it's not the time yet...... Ten more days. ”

"Bastard, you've lied to me many times, when you set off from Chang'an City, you just had a little while, what do you want?" The eldest grandson roared angrily.

He's going to collapse.

He thought it was just a secret mission out of the city, so he followed, wanting to put on a good show.

Who knows, out of Chang'an City, all the way to the north, and all the way to the west, when he didn't know what the situation, he actually came to Tubo.

Xue Rengui didn't speak.

At this time, a group of horses galloped in the distance, and a man jumped off his horse, rushed into the tent, panted and said, "Da Lang, there is a ...... There's news......"
