In order to practice the technique of stir-frying bean sprouts, the imperial chef fried four plates of bean sprouts in the kitchen of Ang Lee's mansion, and at dinner, these four plates of bean sprouts were reheated and served to the table, and after a few plates of mutton and beef, the dishes were ready.

Although Datang is very protective of ploughing cattle and is not allowed to kill ploughing cattle, the cattle that are born, old, sick and dead are edible, and as long as the reason is explained to the government, they can obtain permission to slaughter.

Of course, this ban on slaughtering cattle is more to restrict ordinary people, for the aristocracy, it is not much of a difficult thing at all, as long as the leg of the cattle is broken, it is said that the cattle themselves accidentally fell, and then they can be slaughtered, and the officials naturally will not really check, and they dare not offend these magnates, so there is still beef to sell on the market, but the price is relatively expensive.

In later generations, the price of beef was much more expensive than bean sprouts, and in the era of the Tang Dynasty, because bean sprouts had not yet appeared, in the eyes of Kunxiong, Feiyu and others, bean sprouts were much more expensive than beef gold.

As soon as the meal began, everyone scrambled to eat the bean sprouts, but set the beef aside and ignored it.

The amount of four plates of bean sprouts is too small, and for these fighting men, it is not enough to satisfy the appetite of one person, let alone five or six people, which makes everyone always feel that they can't eat it.

"Big brother, such a good bean sprout, as long as you take it to the West Market to sell, you will definitely be able to sell it at a good price, it seems that I am going to get rich, haha!"

Li Kunxiong finished eating the last bean sprout and laughed excitedly.

Li An shook his head and said: "No matter how good things are, they must be known in order to attract people to buy, how many people in Chang'an City know that bean sprouts are good things?" ”

"That's what the eldest brother said! If others don't recognize bean sprouts and don't understand that bean sprouts are a good thing, then I will lose a lot. ”

Li Kunxiong became worried again.

"Big brother, is there any way to solve this problem?"

"It's better to take the fried bean sprouts to the market and let people taste them for free, so that they will naturally be recognized."

"Well, that's a solution."

Li An listened to everyone's remarks and laughed softly: "You all ran to the backyard to see the vegetable greenhouse just now, but you didn't know that I had invited Yu Chaoen from His Majesty's side, and let him taste the bean sprouts, and also transported all the freshly born bean sprouts in the house to the imperial dining room." ”

"Big brother, why is this? Why did you give all the bean sprouts to the Imperial Dining Room? ”

"Your Majesty will feast the ministers tomorrow, the eldest brother wants to appear the dish of bean sprouts at tomorrow's banquet, so that His Majesty and the ministers can taste it, so that the news of the delicious bean sprouts will inevitably spread throughout Chang'an City, when the time comes, haha!"

Ang Lee laughed excitedly.

"Big brother is clever! As long as His Majesty and the ministers know the wonders of bean sprouts, the sales of bean sprouts will definitely increase greatly in the future, and I will be able to make a lot of money. ”

Li An opened his mouth and said: "There is no war for the time being, you follow me well, you will have the opportunity to make money, but you must not be too greedy, you must remember." ”

"Yes, we understand."

"Come, let's eat meat, drink wine, come, come."

Ang Lee and several brothers ate and drank happily in a cheerful atmosphere.

In the imperial dining room of Daming Palace, more than a dozen imperial chefs are learning to fry bean sprouts, although there is already an imperial chef who understands the skills of fried bean sprouts, but the banquet on the second day is very large, requiring hundreds of plates of bean sprouts, and once the dishes are cold, they are not very delicious, so they must be served quickly, which requires more than ten people to start making each dish at the same time to meet the requirements of the banquet.

"Fragrant, still so fragrant."

From afar, Yu Chaoen smelled the scent of bean sprouts coming from the imperial dining room, which made people feel very satisfied.

"Fish envoy, why are you here?"

When the chef of the imperial dining room saw Yu Chaoen coming, he greeted him with a smile.

Yu Chaoen raised his head and said seriously: "Tomorrow, Your Majesty will have a big banquet for the ministers, and the imperial dining room is extremely critical, and there must not be the slightest mistake, how are they prepared." ”

"Rest assured, all the ingredients have been prepared, and there will be no surprises."

The chef is colorful.

"Okay, that's good, Your Majesty is in a good mood these days, but nothing can go wrong!"

"Rest assured, the fish will never go out of the pool."

Yu Chaoen nodded, strode into the imperial dining room, looked at the various ingredients neatly arranged, praised the chef in approval, and then walked towards several imperial chefs who were practicing fried bean sprouts.

"Stir-fried bean sprouts, Your Majesty has never eaten it, there must be no mistake tomorrow, bring two plates, I want to taste it myself, and see how your fried ones are."

Yu Chaoen's face was awe-inspiring, in fact, he was greedy, when he was in Li An's mansion, he didn't eat enough, at this time, he could have a good meal in the name of inspection to satisfy his appetite.

"Hurry up, bring it all up."

Si Shan hurriedly asked the imperial chef to bring up all the more than a dozen plates of bean sprouts that had just been fried and put them in front of Yu Chaoen.

Yu Chaoen smiled contentedly: "Li Sishan, you can also sit down and taste it together!" See what else this dish leaves to be desired. ”

"Yes, then the subordinate is better to be respectful than to obey his orders."

Si Shan was also attracted by the aroma of bean sprouts for a long time, and when he saw that Yu Chaoen asked to eat together, he hurriedly agreed, and sat down to taste the freshly fried bean sprouts together.

The amount of more than a dozen plates of bean sprouts was not very much, and Yu Chaoen and Li Sishan quickly ate five or six plates, and it was not until they looked at five or six empty plates that they realized that they had eaten too much.

Li Sishan looked at Yu Chaoen with a satisfied face, and said, "Yu Zhi, what do you think of the skills of these imperial chefs?" ”

"Okay, very good, tomorrow, after Your Majesty eats this bean sprout, you will be very happy, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty will also appreciate your imperial dining room."

Yu Chaoen praised the skills of the imperial chefs, stood up, and said, "There should be no problems in the imperial dining room, then I will be relieved and leave." ”

"The fish go slowly."

"Okay."

Yu Chaoen touched his stomach and left the imperial dining room with a satisfied face, he finally ate a full meal with such a delicious delicacy.

Early the next morning, Li An got up early, and simply ate a small breakfast, waiting to enter the palace to participate in the banquet.

"Big brother, why do you eat so little, you usually eat more breakfast than us?"

Li An said with a smile: "The eldest brother is going to enter the palace in the afternoon to participate in the banquet held by His Majesty, so he can't eat more, eat too much, after entering the palace, he won't be able to eat those delicacies, wouldn't it be a big loss." ”

"Haha! This is also true, Your Majesty finally invited a treat, the eldest brother must be open to eat and drink, no need to save His Majesty, haha! ”

Li Kunxiong laughed.

Li An nodded and said: "That's right, the eldest brother will definitely not save for His Majesty, he must eat as much as he can, and drink as much as he can." ”

"Hahaha! Big brother wants to free his stomach, we don't need to, everyone, we eat and drink openly, haha! ”

After breakfast, Li An and everyone went to the vegetable greenhouse in the backyard to take care of the vegetables in the greenhouse.

In the winter, seeing these green vegetables makes people feel very happy, and the temperature in the vegetable greenhouse is very warm, which is also very comfortable.

The greenhouse is full of green vegetables, and in the open space outside the greenhouse, there are dozens of carpenters, who are mass-producing rocking chairs in accordance with the standards of the assembly line, giving people a vivid beauty, and the calm growth of vegetables to form a harmonious beauty of dynamic and static combination.

The banquet of Daming Palace was arranged in the afternoon, however, from early in the morning, the various departments in the palace such as the imperial dining room had already begun to be busy, and the emperor invited the ministers, the specifications were the highest, and no accidents were allowed, so no department in the palace dared to treat it sloppily.

The bean sprouts sent by Li An's mansion have been left overnight, but it is winter at this time, and at this temperature, the bean sprouts will deteriorate for several days, so after leaving them overnight, there is no problem.

Yu Chaoen was not very relieved, and personally ran to the imperial dining room to check, and saw that the bean sprouts were still bright and full, full of a fragrant smell, and his heart was much more relieved, this was the food he introduced to the banquet, once something went wrong, he just couldn't eat it and left.

The imperial chef in the imperial dining room is busy cutting plates and preparing some cold food, and the hot food must be served shortly before the banquet starts, otherwise, it will quickly become cold in this season, after all, there is no thermal insulation barrel in this era, even if a simple thermal insulation barrel is made, the effect of thermal insulation is definitely not as good as that of later generations, so it must be freshly made is the most suitable.

In the afternoon, the invited ministers of the imperial court went to the Daming Palace one after another, and went straight to a separate hall next to the Taiye Pool, the area here is relatively large, and you can also see the beautiful scenery of the Taiye Pool, so the venue of the banquet was chosen here.

At this time, it is winter, and the water in the Taiye Pond has already frozen, and it is a very thick layer of ice, so it is no problem for people to walk around on it.

Ang Lee looked at the ice of the Taiye Pond and recalled that he had led his brothers to perform skiing skills here, and was appreciated by Emperor Li Longji.

This is a whole year, and time flies very quickly, which makes Li An, who is standing here again, quite emotional.

"It's been a year, it's been a whole year, and time flies! Last time, General Li was still here to perform skiing for His Majesty, and now, General Li is already a five-rank official of the imperial court. ”

I don't know when, Li Linfu suddenly appeared behind Ang Lee, and suddenly said such a sentence, which made Ang Lee quite stunned.

"Right Prime Minister, the lower official will meet the Right Minister."

"General Li doesn't have to be polite, Benxiang thought he would be here first, but I didn't expect General Li to be one step faster than Benxiang, haha! In this way, before the other ministers arrived, the prime minister had a good chat with General Li. ”

Li Linfu's attitude was still very kind, and he couldn't hear the slightest ill-intention.

Li An looked up at Li Linfu and found that this old man, who was known as the great traitor of the sword with a honey belly in history, was much older, and he couldn't help but feel a different emotion in his heart, maybe the calculation was too tiring, and it made Li Linfu's appearance change within half a year.

"Xia Guan has not seen the right minister for half a year since he went to the planing land and counted the days, and this time he came back and was dragged down by trivial things, and he did not go to visit the right minister, and hoped that the right minister would forgive his sins."

Li An's official position is much lower than Li Linfu's, so he naturally does not dare to be disrespectful.

Li Linfu smiled kindly: "Haha! When General Li returned to the capital, he didn't even see His Majesty's face, which shows that things are busy, so how can he mind. ”

Li An was slightly surprised, after he returned to the capital, he had never gone to see Li Longji, Li Linfu was so clear about this, isn't this enough to show that Li Longji's every move, who he saw every day, Li Linfu was all clear.

"Xie Youxiang understands, after Xiaguan returned to the capital, he was indeed too busy, the mansion was abandoned for half a year, and the weeds alone were cleaned up for many days?"

Li An hurriedly explained.

"Really? It seems that General Li is really busy! ”

Li Linfu praised Li An, and continued: "General Li for the Tang Dynasty Jiangshan Sheji, personally went to the land to quell the rebellion, lasted half a year for the Tang Dynasty to make great contributions, General Li is young, but the credit is not less than those veterans, Your Majesty is to see that General Li is too young, worried that General Li is young and ambitious, which is not good for the future, so he did not give General Li too high a position, and I hope that General Li will not have resentment in his heart!" ”

"The right minister is serious, the lower official is not yet twenty this year, and he was canonized by His Majesty as the official position of the fifth grade, and the lower official is already very satisfied, besides, the right minister also said that His Majesty did this in order to avoid the young man of the lower official, so the lower official can not have complaints."

Ang Lee said with a smile.

"Okay, good, General Li really knows the general situation, and I feel that chatting with General Li is always very happy and comfortable!"

Li Linfu's tone was even more kind.

"Xie Youxiang praised him, and the lower officials also felt the same way."

"Hahaha, good."

Li Linfu smiled even more kindly.

"Eun Xiang, Eun Xiang, hahaha!"

Just when Li An and Li Linfu were talking, An Lushan ran over with his eldest son An Qingzong and the general Shi Cuigan.

"Haha! It turned out to be An Jieshuai, and he came early enough! ”

Li Linfu seems to have formed a habit, when he sees anyone who is harmless to humans and animals, people who don't know him, still think that he is really a kind old man?

"Eun Xiang, you came earlier! Hahaha! ”

I have to say that An Lushan laughed silly, very silly, very silly.

Li An smiled disdainfully at the corner of his mouth, turned around slightly, and saw An Lushan's exaggerated face, he felt really disgusting and uncomfortable.

An Lushan seemed to see Li An's disdain for him, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but in front of Li Linfu, he didn't dare to show it too much.

"Eun Xiang, who is this?"

An Lushan obviously didn't know Ang Lee, let alone that Ang Lee had a blood feud with him. (To be continued.) )
