Why Niu Jinda lived such a miserable life is actually related to his experience when he was a child.

Although Niu Jinda was born in a county family, at that time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built water conservancy, and also fought three battles against Goryeo, using a lot of national strength, and the people were hungry all day long, and they couldn't eat.

As a result, many people embarked on the road of banditry, and some soldiers also turned into bandits after escaping, stealing the food of the common people. Therefore, Niu Jinda's growth environment is an environment full of bandits. Although his father was a county magistrate, he had no food at home to eat, and even, seeing his relatives starve to death one after another, only Niu Jinda was like a weed in a crack in a stone, struggling to survive.

It is precisely because of the painful memories of childhood that even if he was later added to the rank of knight, he could not bear to enjoy the glory and wealth.

Because of his childhood experience, Niu Jinda knew how important the peace of a country was to the people since he was a child, so he followed Li Shimin wholeheartedly, hoping that through the establishment of a new dynasty, he could give the people a happy and healthy family, and would not experience the hardships he had when he was a child. Niu Jinda was not disappointed, Li Shimin created the "rule of Zhenguan" during his reign, the country and the people were safe, and it was a great thing, which was exactly what Niu Jinda wanted to see.

Such a good general, but his son is like this... Li Zhan was a little unbearable.

"I'm a cow... Hello Brother Zhan...! Niu Qian showed her own strong smile, this feeling of sadness in her heart but still showing a smile really makes people feel very distressed.

"Can you show me the legs?" Li Zhan suddenly squatted in front of Niu Qi.

"Hey... No...! Cheng Chumo immediately came over and wanted to drag Li Zhan away from Niu Qi's side, because Cheng Chumo's brothers all knew that the leg was the death hole of Niu Qi, no matter who it was, as long as it was said about Niu Qi's leg, Niu Qi would be worse than dead.

After Li Zhan's words were finished, Niu Zhan's body was also shocked, and he looked at Li Zhan with some anger and said, "Do you want to humiliate me?" ”

Li Zhan gently pushed away and dragged himself to Cheng Zhi and said with a silent smile: "I'm not a fool, we just met, what are you doing to humiliate you... Brother Cheng and I are brothers, and you are all my brothers.

I'm going to do something different from everyone else, I want to see your legs, that's all. ”

"It's useless for you to heal...?" Li Zhan's explanation finally made Niu Qian less angry: "Because it's broken...!" ”

Then Niu Qi raised his right leg, and at this time, Niu Qi's right leg and the sole of his foot were gone, and even the calf was missing, so it was not something that could be solved by medical skills.

It's just that when Niu Qi was bitter, Li Zhan laughed: "It's not bad... I should be able to get you on your feet and walk around freely. ”

"What did you say...?"

Li Zhan's words made everyone present look at Li Zhan in shock, and Niu Qian looked at Li Zhan with excitement and trembled all over his body and asked, "Brother Zhan, what are you talking about... What did you just say? ”

Because he was too anxious, Niu Qian directly pressed his hands on Li Zhan's shoulders.

"Huh...!" Li Zhan showed a bright smile and looked at Niu Qian and said, "I said... Your leg injury is not too serious, I can let you stand up and walk freely, as long as you practice diligently, maybe you can run without any problem. ”

"I can run... Can I still run? Niu Qi's eyes turned red unconsciously, looking at Li Zhan, Niu Qian grabbed Li Zhan and said: "Brother Zhan, please, please, you must help me, I don't want to make this chair, I want to stand up, I can move around freely, I don't need the help of others." ”

Speaking... As he spoke, Niu Qi's tears fell.

At this time, Li Zhan wiped Niu Qi's eyes with his sleeve and said, "Give me a month... I'll make you a leg, um... Don't cry, let's have fun today, and tomorrow, you come to my house, let me help you calculate it well, and it will definitely make you stand up. ”

After Li Zhan finished speaking, Cheng Chumo on the other side immediately said something in Niu Qi's ears, only to see that after Cheng Chumo finished speaking, Niu Qi, who was still crying, stopped crying, and looked at Li Zhan with two hot eyes, those eyes, Li Zhan already clearly knew what Cheng Chumo, the bastard, said to Niu Qi.

However, it was precisely because of Cheng Chumo's words that Niu Qian gained enough confidence, and finally Niu Qi got rid of his haze and showed a hopeful expression.

"Alright... Today is a happy day, let's go up and drink first...! ”

Seeing that Niu Qi's spirit was getting better, everyone cheered up, Cheng Chumo shouted, and everyone went to the restaurant on the side, ready to eat and drink.

...........................

Cheng Chumo told Li Zhan that Yan Xiaoxiao's literary competition would be held in the afternoon, and after the event, the winner would stay in the Qinglou, and the others would take advantage of the curfew to go back to their homes, so Li Zhan would stay in the Lu Guogong Mansion tonight.

What now... Because it was noon, I had to eat and drink, and then go to Yunxiang Pavilion in Pingkangfang to go to Yanxiao's literary meeting.

If you come, you will be safe, and Li Zhan is not timid, so let's eat and drink....

Cheng Chumo is very skilled in ordering food... There are many delicacies in Datang, and the first dish is called "Honey Embraces Sword"... The shape of the dish is a sword, Li Zhan has never seen it, Cheng Chumo told Li Zhan that this is a crab, which is a crab that looks very small, but the claws are very large, and the claws of the crab are pounded into a paste and made of honey stains.

The taste is on the sweet side, and Cheng Chumo likes sweetness, so this dish is a must-order.

The second course is to hold taro soup... The ingredients inside are small taro, mussels and frogs, the method is to first boil water in the pot, put in the small taro, wait until the water boils, throw the frog in, and then turn on the high heat to steam, the frog will slowly stretch out. Sometimes you don't need taro, you can use bamboo shoots, and you can enjoy it when it's cooked.

Li Zhan took a bite, and the taste was really good.

The third way is "脍"... It is sashimi, the Japanese in it, they all like to eat raw things, sashimi hehe, and as early as the Tang Dynasty, we began to eat sashimi, at that time the way to eat sashimi was called "脍". The Tang people like to cut into thin slices and eat them with onions and garlic for whatever kind of fish they eat. Du Fu's poem "Silent snow falls, bones have chopped spring onions", which is the scene of making fish tray. The Tang people also developed special knives for making sashimi.

There is also mutton, however, there was no woks in the Tang Dynasty at this time, and the mutton was basically steamed, boiled, stewed... The staple food is Gulouzi... Use a pound of mutton, wrap it in a cake, and then put peppercorns across a layer, evenly smear it with oil, and the meat will be in the pot, and you can eat it when the meat is cooked. And if you don't want to eat pasta, you can eat flax rice or black rice.

Drink the wine of the Western Regions.... Compared with today's wines, these Western wines can be said to be not lagging behind at all. The first is the collection of raw materials, where the temperature difference in the Western Regions is very large, and the grapes used are naturally very good. And the winemaking techniques are no worse than in modern times, and at that time, there was always a saying that a barrel of fine wine is a barrel of gold. Therefore, if you want to drink wine in the Western Regions of Chang'an, you need to bring some silver, otherwise it is estimated that it will be difficult to drink. By the way, the beauties of the Hu people have always been more enthusiastic, especially when selling alcohol, and they like to wear a bust in winter to feast their eyes. But if you want to take it home, that's a different story, but it's not impossible.

Li Zhan really didn't expect that the food of Datang really impressed Li Zhan, and if he came to Datang to do a Datang on the tip of his tongue, there would be no problem.
