Li An hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, telling the emperor and the ministers that the animal that looked like a cat in front of him was a cougar, although this guy looked like a cat, but the huge body size was much more than a cat, and it was much more ferocious than a cat, it was a very fierce beast, of course, it was indeed not a lion.

"Cougar? But this guy looks like a cat, not like a lion at all! Lions are not like that. ”

A minister raised doubts, after all, the cougar is a big cat in appearance, and it does not have the momentum of a lion at all, especially the mane of the male teacher is very domineering, and the cougar does not have a handsome mane regardless of gender.

"I also think this guy wants a big cat, why did he become a lion, or a cougar, and a lion in the Americas looks like a cat?"

Li Longji was puzzled, and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "The roar of the lion is extremely majestic, and it is not comparable to the cry of a cat, let this guy roar a few times, I don't know if it is a lion, haha!" ”

Li An had a black line on his face when he heard this, Li Longji wanted to use his voice to confirm whether the cougar was a lion or not, but the cougar's cry was similar to that of a cat, and it was indeed a big cat, and the cougar was just to show that this animal was very fierce, as fierce as a lion.

"Aiming ......"

Under the stimulation of the relevant personnel, the cougar barked angrily, and the look and voice were completely like an angry cat.

"Hahaha......"

When Emperor Li Longji and his ministers heard the meow of a cat, they all burst into laughter, how could an animal with the same sound and appearance as a cat be a lion?

"Li Shilang, this is clearly a big cat, even the sound is the voice of a cat, it is almost the same as an American cat, and it can't be called a lion anyway."

A minister corrected.

"Li Shilang, don't refer to cats as lions! Your Majesty is a generation of saints. ”

A minister even brought out the allusion of Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty pointing to the deer as a horse, accusing Li An of insisting that the cat was a lion and deliberately deceiving the emperor.

When Li Longji heard this, he also looked at Li An with some confusion, and motioned to Li An to give an explanation, after all, the guy in front of him was like a big cat in all aspects, and he didn't have the appearance and majestic voice of a lion at all.

"Your Majesty, the cougar is not a lion in the first place, this guy is closer to the cat's blood, and it is not wrong to call it a cat, but this guy is huge and has a fierce temperament, which is somewhat similar to a lion, so it is not wrong to call him a cougar, you can remind the world, be careful of such an animal, and never treat it as a docile kitten, otherwise, you will not know what happened when you are swallowed in your stomach?"

Ang Lee hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, saying the reason why the cougar is called a lion.

When Li Longji and the ministers heard this, they immediately nodded approvingly, although the guy in front of him looked very much like a cat, and his voice was very similar to that of a cat, but his body size was much larger than the cat raised at home, such a huge body, not much smaller than a lion, it is completely possible to prey on humans, and it is possible to call a cougar can reflect the wildness and domineering of this animal, but it is also said in the past.

However, Li Longji thought about it for a while, and finally didn't quite recognize the name Puma, after all, this guy lacks the momentum of a lion, and his voice and appearance are too much like a cat, if Datang locates this newly discovered animal as a cougar, it will make Fanbang small countries laugh, and it will make them think that there is no one in Datang, and he actually gave the big cat a lion name.

"This big cat is all golden, why don't you call it the American Golden Cat!"

Li Longjin said with a jade mouth.

When Li An heard this, he was stunned, if he hadn't understood it earlier, he suspected that Li Longji had also passed through, and his name was exactly the same as the alias of the cougar, and in later generations, the alias of the cougar was called the American Golden Cat.

"American golden cat, it's better to have this name."

"Your Majesty Shengming, it should be called the American Golden Cat."

"This is the biggest cat in the world, and it is most appropriate to use a golden word."

All the ministers praised again and again, and patted the emperor's ass.

"American Golden Cat, this name is indeed more appropriate, and Weichen agrees."

Of course, Ang Lee will not object, whether it is called a cougar or an American golden cat, in fact, it is just a name, and it doesn't mean much.

"Li Shilang, how is this American golden cat better than a tiger?"

A minister thought of what Ang Lee had just said about how powerful the American golden cat was, and he wanted to compete with the most common tiger in Datang.

Li An opened his mouth and said: "Although the American golden cat is much larger than the average pet cat, it is smaller than the tiger, so naturally it can't beat the tiger, but it is much more powerful than the wolf." ”

When the ministers heard this, they looked at the size and sharp teeth of the American golden cat, and they all agreed with Li An's opinion that the size of the American golden cat determined that it could not beat the tiger, but it was much more powerful than the wild wolf.

"Is this a leopard? The spots on the body are very similar to those of a leopard, but the head is similar to that of a tiger, is it a tiger or a leopard? ”

Li Longji walked to the jaguar's cage and looked at the animals in the cage curiously.

"This won't be a tiger and a leopard......"

One minister speculated.

Li An walked to the front of the iron cage and said: "Your Majesty, this is a jaguar, but the pattern is somewhat similar to a leopard, this animal is extremely fierce, and its strength is similar to that of a cougar, but it can't beat my Datang tiger, after all, it is a little smaller." ”

"Jaguar, let him scream twice."

When a boy from Wufang heard the order, he immediately hit the jaguar with a wooden stick, and caused the jaguar to let out a roar of resistance.

"Tiger, it's indeed a tiger, but the pattern is different from the tiger of the Tang Dynasty, and the size is a little smaller, this fur is very good-looking, next time you go to the Americas, you must catch a few more."

Li Longji nodded, continued walking, and saw the jaguar.

"What kind of animal is this? Much like a leopard. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming, this is the jaguar, and it is also a fierce beast in the Americas, and its strength is similar to that of the leopard of the Tang Dynasty."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to explain.

"Jaguars, very beautiful animals."

Li Longji sighed and continued to walk forward.

"This is an ostrich! The ostrich sent by the envoy of the Great Food Country last time was similar to this, no, it was much bigger than this. ”

Li Longji has still seen ostriches, but they are African ostriches, much larger than the American ostriches in front of him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is the American ostrich, slightly smaller than the African ostrich brought by the envoys of the Great Food Country, which is a relatively mild and large bird."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to explain, and suddenly discovered that the American ostrich had laid an egg.

"Your Majesty, this is a good sign! As soon as you came, the American ostrich laid an egg, or was it hot? ”

The ministers were also happy when they saw the ostrich suddenly laying eggs, and Li Longji was of course even happier, smiling from ear to ear.

"It's cooked."

Li Longji said and continued to walk forward to see more rare animals.

Ostrich eggs have a high nutritional value, and American ostrich eggs are of course no exception, they taste good when boiled, and various nutrients are not easy to lose.

Next, Li Longji took the ministers to admire nearly 100 kinds of rare animals transported from the Americas, and only after being addicted to the eyes did he return to the palace to rest, and asked Li An to go to the imperial dining room to personally guide the imperial chefs to make these delicacies from the Americas.

There are a lot of delicacies transported from the Americas, after all, there are ten large sea ships, and the materials transported will naturally not be less, and these materials, except for some of them for breeding, the rest can be eaten directly, of course, only the most noble emperors have this qualification, ordinary people do not have this qualification.

Ang Lee personally instructed the chefs to make a pot of chili oil, put it in a jar to cool, and then instructed the chef to make tomato scrambled eggs.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are a very easy dish to make, and the imperial chef learned it after watching it, however, when boiling chili oil, many imperial chefs' eyes were smoked to tears, after all, the taste of boiling chili oil is too great, and the entire imperial dining room, and even around the imperial dining room, can smell this extremely spicy taste, which feels absolutely sour.

In addition to scrambled eggs with tomatoes, there are also steamed corn, sweet potato millet porridge, stir-fried shredded potatoes with green peppers and other delicacies, in addition, in order to reflect the use of chili oil, Ang Lee also made a sea bass feast, but in addition to the ordinary ingredients, red pepper is added as a condiment.

There are also beef and lamb slices, which have been available for a long time, but the beef slices and lamb slices are covered with a layer of spicy chili oil, so that the meat slices will have a spicy and numb feeling in the mouth, and the taste is absolutely sour.

After making these delicacies, Li Ang asked the imperial chef to serve them to the emperor, and personally followed, and the emperor not only wanted to eat these foods, but also needed Li Ang to explain.

In addition, because the emperor is not the only one who eats, many portions of all these dishes are prepared, so that the emperor and the princes and ministers can enjoy them, after all, the banquet of the Tang Dynasty is different from the later generations, the banquets of the later generations are a large group of people sitting around a table, and everyone eats the dishes together, but the Tang Dynasty is that everyone has a table, and everyone eats their own.

Ang Lee has been a cook once, and at the same time, these meals also have his own share, after all, Ang Lee's status is now very high, of course he has this qualification.

"Your Majesty, let's try the tomato scrambled eggs first! This dish is only delicious when it is hot. ”

Ang Lee said that he ate first.

Li Longji picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites, with a satisfied expression on the corner of his mouth.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious, it tastes much better than raw food, and all of you Aiqing have tasted it."

Seeing this, all the ministers picked up their chopsticks and tasted them carefully.

"Well, the taste is really not ordinary, it turns out that there are such delicious things in the Americas."

The ministers ate it, and they all nodded appreciatively, in addition to tomato is a good dish, Ang Lee's craftsmanship is also very good.

"Your Majesty, try the stir-fried shredded potatoes with green peppers, this dish is also quite good."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to introduce and taste it himself to demonstrate.

Li Longji tasted it at the same time with the ministers, and after eating, he showed a happy face.

"It's light and spicy, it's very chewy, and it's a delicious dish."

Li Longji gave a very satisfactory evaluation.

The ministers and princes, after eating, all smiled very satisfied, praising the potatoes as a good thing, and stir-fried shredded potatoes with green peppers are a rare and beautiful dish.

"Li Shilang, what is the red thing on this mutton slice, it smells a little spicy, is it chili?"

Li Longji sniffed it and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, on the top of this mutton slice, it is indeed a chili pepper, but it is boiled chili oil, the spiciness is less than the previous chili pepper, and it tastes very good, especially when mixed with the slices of mutton and beef, it tastes very beautiful."

Ang Lee explained, and personally picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

Li Longji and the ministers and princes all gently picked up a piece of meat, but they didn't dare to bring too much chili oil, so they just dipped it a little.

When the meat slice was just put in their mouths, everyone tasted a spicy breath, but after chewing it carefully for a while, a sour expression gradually appeared on their faces.

"Spicy, sure enough, it's still spicy and delicious, this kind of chili oil, you have to make a little more in the future."

Li Longji was so spicy that he almost drooled, but he just liked the taste.

"Your Majesty, your mouth is too spicy, drink some sweet potato millet porridge! It can make the mouth less spicy. ”

Li An found the right time to let Li Longji drink some sweet potato millet porridge to relieve it.

Li Longji and the ministers and princes took a sip, their mouths suddenly felt sweet, and they nodded very satisfied, praising the sweet potato millet porridge for being delicious.

Next is the sea bass with chili peppers, sea bass is a very popular delicacy in Datang, however, in the absence of chili peppers as a seasoning, the taste of sea bass is still discounted, after all, the taste of fish is not so easy to remove, and after the appearance of chili peppers, the situation is completely different, the unique spicy taste of chili peppers can completely remove the fishy smell, so as to make the sea bass more delicious.

After eating the sea bass, everyone felt the strong spicy taste, but at the same time, they were all very satisfied, and felt that after putting the chili peppers, the taste of the sea bass was indeed more delicious, and the taste was more enjoyable.

After eating a lot of American delicacies in one sitting, I ended up with a few side dishes, such as boiled American ostrich eggs and steamed corn kernels.

Due to the relatively large size of the American ostrich eggs, except for Li Longji, who received a complete ostrich egg, the rest of the ministers and princes, including Li An, each only received one-eighth of the ostrich eggs, and they could taste the taste.

There are more steamed corn kernels, each person gets the same amount, about two taels or so, these steamed corn kernels are all immature tender corn, so that they are crisp and delicious, and the fully ripe corn kernels taste not tender, these corn are to be planted, they are seeds, and they can't be so wasted, after all, it is not easy to transport these things from the Americas, and they can't be too wasteful.
