Chapter 25: Croton

This possibility is not impossible!

Li Lizhi is deeply favored by Li Shimin, and has developed a lawless personality, so much so that she dares to do anything, including giving chin beans to all ministers!

"Even the emperor ate it...... If we don't eat it, it doesn't seem good! ”

"Alas!"

"Be unlucky!"

……

Li Ji gave everyone a head, held his breath, and took a bite of bacon rice.

That look is harder than taking medicine!

The people around were staring at Li Ji and didn't dare to speak.

It wasn't until Li Ji's face changed and he ate several large bites in a row that they began to try.

"Huh?"

The taste of the food is not quite what they imagined.

Not only is it odorless and toxic.

It also has a strong aroma.

It makes people want to eat it and want to eat it.

"Is this really the work of Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Li Ji couldn't believe it.

It is impossible for a five or six-year-old doll to make such high-end food.

"Uncle Li Ji, how do you feel?" Li Lizhen walked up to him and asked.

"Delicious!"

"Uncle Wei Zheng, what do you think?"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's craftsmanship is indeed extremely high! The food cooked is incomparable to even the chefs in the imperial dining room. However, from ancient times to the present, there is no precedent for a princess to be a chef, and Confucianism is even more famous for not entering the kitchen with dignity. I practice Confucianism, how can Her Royal Highness the princess do the opposite? ”

Wei Zheng did not let Li Lizhen go easily because of his young age. Still make your point of view.

Of course, when he said this, he didn't want to embarrass Li Liqing.

Rather, I want to emphasize Confucianism, which cannot be undermined at any time.

Wei Zheng ...... The princess was kind enough to make us these delicacies. If you don't like to eat, just keep your mouth shut, where is there so much nonsense, aren't you embarrassing Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said unceremoniously.

"It's just that you don't appreciate it like this, even I can't stand it......." Wei Chi Jingde has always admired Wei Zheng, but in this matter, he strongly supported Li Lizhen.

"It's okay to bully us at ordinary times, you won't even let go of Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's really inhumane!"

……

The ministers were not accustomed to Wei Zheng and poked their noses at him for his shameless behavior!

Li Zhi struck while the iron was hot and questioned Wei Zheng: "All the rules are artificially formulated. How can Confucianism be correct? ”

"I'm not denying Confucianism, I just think that some of the rules are really bad, and they limit the development of society!"

"For example, cooking is obviously a matter that is beneficial to the country, how can it be insulting to you here? If cooking is insulting, then everyone doesn't cook, what do we eat? ”

"Can this kind of thinking be widely spread?"

"This!"

Wei Zheng didn't know how to answer for a while.

He was stunned on the spot.

Be rendered speechless!

This scene is so undeserved......

Wei Zheng has always scolded others, how can anyone dare to scare him?

Even Li Shimin suffered a lot from him!

And today, feng shui takes turns, and it is Wei Zheng's turn to be scared.

The ministers were very relieved!

"Hahaha...... Zhi'er said it well! Li Shimin is also going to talk about learning to cook today, and in his opinion, it is not a big deal.

For the comprehensive development of Datang, it is not a bad thing to abandon some old concepts.

However, he was still a little timid to question Confucianism in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi made a good start for him.

As soon as he came up, Wei Zheng was speechless!

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of the princess's meal?" Li Shimin asked.

"...... well."

In this case, no one dares to say badly.

In fact, bacon fried rice is really good, and this is not flattery!

Li Shimin beckoned to Li Zhi, pulled Li Zhi closer, and said to the ministers: "I know what Zhi'er said, and I agree!" ”

"The foundation of Confucianism is to promote social development, not to be bound by it!"

"We're in a bind right now...... Even entering the kitchen is said to be insulting, and in the long run, what progress can we make in terms of food culture? When he worships the kingdom and finds that our food is not as good as theirs, does he not make them laugh at it? ”

……

"Father is wise!" Li Zhi saw the right time and hurriedly patted his ass.

The ministers of civil and military affairs didn't have time to think about it, and they reconsidered it one after another!

Even Wei Zheng, who is good at argumentation, has no hard words to refute Li Shimin!

And the rest of the ministers don't have the guts.

It can only be left to its own devices.

"I've decided...... Hold a kitchen god contest to encourage the people to specialize in this aspect of culture, and the imperial court should set up an election system like electing officials, and give them a channel for promotion! ”

"This is also a must for the development of the country!"

"I hope that Datang will not only be developed in military and agriculture, but also in other aspects, and also lead the world, only in this way can the territory be subjugated!"

Li Shimin sat down after speaking.

The ministers began to chatter.

Cheng Yanjin remembered what Li Zhi said in his mansion a few days ago, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This kid has already planned it, and through the princess and the emperor, he wants to take Bi as an apprentice!" ”

"But ......."

"If you really want to be like the emperor said, chefs will no longer be treated differently, but will have infinite glory, so why don't I do that?"

Cheng Yanjin's heart began to waver.

His son, if he can't write or write, if he can't do anything, if he can't eat anything, he really wants to learn cooking skills and become the new generation of kitchen gods in the Tang Dynasty, then he definitely has a light on his face!

You must know that even the princess has learned to cook.

Why can't his son?

Whoever dares to say that learning to cook is not good, it is equivalent to talking about a princess!

"Looks like it's time to talk to that kid and finalize this matter as soon as possible!" Cheng Yanjin nodded secretly.

The banquet ended quickly.

The retainers dispersed.

Cheng Yanjin found Li Zhi with a flattering look: "Your Highness is good?" ”

"Everyone else is gone, why are you still here? I'm going back to the palace, my father and mother recruit me, I have to go quickly, otherwise I will be scolded! ”

Li Zhi knew that Cheng Biting Jin, the old boy, had taken the bait.

But don't worry, tease him again!

"I'll discuss something with you!"

"What's the matter?"

"I want Chu Bi to learn to cook with His Royal Highness, even if you call him, just be an ordinary subordinate, as long as you teach him a little cooking skills, let him come back with the title of a kitchen god, anything!"

……

Li Zhi said: "You don't have a small tone, and you still want your son to be a chef?" I'm not even a chef yet! ”

After the tasks given by the system are completed, they only get the title of King Chef!

In the future, there will be kitchen gods and kitchen saints......

But that's for later.

"Hey...... Your Royal Highness has superb cooking skills, you have to teach him with your heart, are you afraid that he will not succeed? I believe that Your Highness will definitely do it! This matter is so decided, the minister will go back now, let Chu Bi prepare a generous gift, and come to apprentice! ”

After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he was afraid that Li Zhi would regret it, so he ran away.
