Chapter 993: Pigeon Soup

Not long after the pigeon and the ingredients were put into the pot and cooked, the rich aroma wafted in the air, and as the cooking time became longer and longer, the taste became more and more intense, so that the emperors and grandchildren, who were never short of food and drink, began to swallow their saliva.

"Sir, it smells so good! It should be good! ”

Li Shi couldn't help it, and when he spoke, his eyes were always staring at the cauldron in front of him, and his fingers were constantly moving.

"Don't worry, I'll have to wait a little longer, hehe!"

Li An looked at these greedy emperors and grandsons and said with a smile.

Children are the easiest to be greedy, after all, their young age, is the age of the body, gastrointestinal function is generally not any major problems, and there are fewer troubles, there is nothing to make a child not think, naturally it is easier to be greedy.

Tang Er also came over and asked in a low voice, "How long will it take!" Will this pigeon soup be even better than local chicken soup? ”

Li An touched Tang Er's little head and said with a smile: "It's fast, as for whether it's good or not, it will not be known until you have drunk it!" Hehe! ”

After speaking, gently lift the lid of the pot and put the wolfberries and salt in it.

"Why do you put goji berries and salt at the end?"

Li Shi asked.

"In order to prevent nutrient loss, wolfberries should not be boiled for too long, otherwise there will be no nourishing effect, and the later the salt, the better."

Li An said.

If the food of wolfberry is boiled for a long time, the nutrients inside it are easy to be destroyed, so it is necessary to wait until the food is about to be cooked before putting it, so that the nutrients inside are not easy to lose.

"It smells so good! It's already good! ”

The emperors and grandchildren had already formed a circle, and one by one they all stretched their necks, looking at the pigeon soup in the pot, like a flock of ducks waiting for dinner, and asked from time to time if they were okay.

To say that these emperors and grandsons live a good life every day, and there is no shortage of food, it can be described as brocade clothes and jade food, but all the meals they eat are provided by the imperial chef in the palace, and the emphasis is on nutrition and respect and inferiority regulations, there are many cheap dishes that will not be eaten by the emperors and grandchildren, and there are many cheap dishes that are very delicious.

For example, in terms of chicken, chicken gizzards are cheap, and they are what people eat, as a noble royal family, they naturally can't eat such pickled food, and the taste of chicken gizzards is often more delicious than chicken, which is simply the most delicious food on chicken, and as a noble royal family, it is really a great pity that they can't eat such food.

In addition, in terms of nutrition, it must be reasonably matched, and there are strict rules about what the emperor and grandson should eat at what age, and they cannot be given food at will.

This is like children in later generations, who always like to eat some junk food, but are reluctant to eat the normal diet provided by their relatives, feel that it is too difficult to swallow, and think that junk food is the best food.

The grade of pigeon soup is still okay, and the imperial chef in the palace can also make it, but in terms of those goods in the palace, the level is really not comparable to Li An, and their level is still far behind Li An? As a talent from later generations, the types of food that Ang Lee understands are incomparable to these imperial chefs, and he casually takes out some craftsmanship, which is enough for these imperial chefs to worship, and in fact, Ang Lee has indeed taught the imperial chef to make a lot of dishes, and this is just a drop in the bucket in Ang Lee's mind, and there are more and better dishes that have not been handed over to them?

"This monk has more meat and less meat, how does Li Shilang plan to divide it?"

Li Yu asked with a smile.

Although he is very young, he is the father of the child after all, and he will not be as greedy as the children, although he also wants to have some, but when he sees so many children waiting, he feels that he is not good at competing with the children.

"Let's just let the children get a little bit each! I'll assign it. ”

Li An said.

After all, there is too little food, and when it is distributed, it is inevitable that there will be more or less, so if Ang Lee wants to distribute it personally, he will use better methods to prevent unfair incidents from happening.

"Li Shilang, I caught a few pheasants, and they are quite fat."

Several guards returned, raising the pheasant in their hands high.

Ang Lee was very happy, the pigeon soup had just been cooked, and the pheasant was caught, which was very good.

"Each person will be rewarded with two strings of money, and the pheasant will be disposed of quickly, and it will be cooked immediately."

Li An said happily, and took matters into his own hands and began to distribute the pigeon soup.

"Get out of the way, don't fight, all of you retreat, all of you retreat, turn around."

Li Ang asked the emperors and grandchildren to stay away a little, and then distributed the pigeon soup and pigeon meat as evenly as possible in each small bowl, and covered the small bowls with another small plate.

"Okay, you pick for yourself, take a bowl for each person, move slowly, don't fight."

At the request of Li An, more than a dozen emperors and attendants lined up to choose the pigeon soup, and since the top of each bowl was covered, no one could figure out which bowl had more meat and more soup, so they could only choose at will.

"Why is there an extra bowl?"

Li Yu looked at the last remaining bowl and looked at Li An suspiciously.

Li An gently picked up the bowl, sent it to Li Yu, and said softly: "King Guangping, this is specially reserved for you, try it!" ”

"And my share? Li Shilang doesn't taste it? ”

Li Yu said politely.

"This is the soup I made, I often eat it at home, King Guangping can taste it!"

Ang Lee said.

When Li Yu heard this, he no longer refused, and took the pigeon soup and tasted it.

"How does it taste?"

"The mouth is rich, the aroma is full, it's so delicious, it's much better than the soup made by the imperial chef."

Li Yu was sincerely admired.

The children's expressions were even more exaggerated, and they ate quickly one by one, as if they were afraid of being robbed by others. It's really interesting.

The pheasant was quickly disposed of, and while the children were drinking the chicken soup, Ang Lee continued to cook the chicken soup, after all, just a little pigeon meat was not enough to stuff the teeth?

And as the pheasant got out of the pot, there were guards who brought back game, such as hares, spotted-winged partridges, and a wild boar that was not small, all of which made Li An quite excited.

"It's easy to have wild boars, now everyone can eat enough, haha!"

Li An said excitedly, and called a few accompanying cooks to let them prepare separately and get all the food as soon as possible.

And Li Ang also used this time to explain some of the most basic plant knowledge to the emperors and grandchildren, there are many plants in the wild, and you can pull out a plant from the grass casually, and then start to explain.

Wild garlic, angelica, front hu, angelica, astragalus, snake bed, these Chinese plants can be found in Lishan, and each plant is enough for Li An to explain for a long time.

However, the emperors and grandsons didn't seem to have much interest in this knowledge, their attention was all on the food, and not long after Li An spoke, they all quietly approached the cook, their eyes were fixed on the food being made, and none of them looked at Li An.

If he doesn't listen to the lecture so carefully, where does Li An still have the mind to lecture, he has no mind when he talks, he feels so boring, so boring, it's like playing the piano to the cow.

"Don't listen to a yarn, King Guangping, let's go up for a walk!"

Li An didn't bother to continue playing the piano to the cow, and pulled Li Yu to climb a high slope.

Standing on the high slope, you can see more and more scenery, and your mind is broader, which makes Ang Lee's heart more comfortable.

"What did King Quang Binh see?"

Ang Lee asked.

Li Yu looked at the scenery in the distance and replied: "The scenery of Lishan Mountain is very beautiful and magnificent. ”

Li An looked at Li Yu with a little disappointment, and continued to ask, "King Guangping takes a closer look, what else can he see?" ”

Li Yu frowned and looked into the distance, and continued to answer: "Trees and flowers, flying birds, and blue sky and white clouds. ”

This answer is naturally even more difficult to satisfy Li An, as the grandson of the emperor, how can you look at the problem so superficially? Could it be that he is too timid.

"What else? What else do you see? ”

Ang Lee continued to ask.

Li Yu frowned and searched for a long time, shook his head and said, "No! What else? ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Li An pointed to the scenery in the distance and said, "The Tang Dynasty." ”

"Tang Jiangshan?"

Li Yuleng paused, and then nodded lightly: "Datang Jiangshan, that's right, it's Datang Jiangshan." ”

"Such a beautiful Tang Dynasty is the king of Guangping sooner or later, and the king of Guangping should appreciate his own country!"

Li An looked at Li Yu beside him and said softly.

"Li Shilang can't talk nonsense, it would be terrible if this word got out."

Li Yu said nervously.

Li An said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, sooner or later, the world of Datang will belong to the king of Guangping, there is no doubt about this." ”

"How can Li Shilang be so sure, my father's position is in jeopardy, let alone me?"

Li Yu carefully observed the surrounding environment and asked.

Li An smiled and said, "If I say that I have the ability to predict the future, does King Guangping believe it?" ”

"Prophet of Unknown, does Li Shilang really have such an ability?"

Li Yu looked at Li An in surprise, his eyes were full of shock, and he looked a little incredulous.

Li An smiled and said: "Of course it's true, didn't King Guangping find out that I was very powerful, I opened my eyes and can predict the past and the future." ”

"Oh, then Li Shilang tell me about the future? How many years of Guozuo does my Datang have? ”

Li Yu asked with great concern.

Li An opened his mouth and said: "If I hadn't appeared, the Guozuo of the Tang Dynasty would have been like for about two hundred years, but it may not be the case now, but King Guangping and Shi'er will be emperors in the future, and this should not be wrong." ”

"Shi'er and I can be emperors, really?"

Li Yu couldn't believe that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no eldest son has been able to ascend the throne, and he and his son Li Shi are both eldest sons, that is to say, he Li Yu is the first to ascend the throne as the emperor as the eldest son.

Li An patted Li Yu on the shoulder and said, "King Guangping, rest assured, you will definitely be able to become the emperor, there will be no problem with this, and the Tang Dynasty will be yours in the future." ”

"If this is the case, I will definitely not treat Li Shilang badly, with Li Shilang's merits, it is necessary to be crowned king."

Li Yu said in a low voice.

"Crowned king? This is not necessary, as long as the king of Guangping has me in his heart and always trusts me, it is enough, you know, I have no interest in court politics, and I don't want to be affected. ”

Li An said lightly.

"Eh, the title of king is just a title, and it will not make Li Shilang extra burdened, the Tang Dynasty will count on Li Shilang in the future, and Li Shilang is definitely worthy of the title of king."

Li Yu said.

Li An smiled faintly, noncommittal, thought for a while, and asked, "If King Guangping ascends to the throne, how do you plan to govern the world?" ”

"How to govern the world? Of course, it is a pro-virtuous minister who is far from a villain, so that all kinds of talents can perform their duties and give full play to their own strength, so that the national strength of my Datang will inevitably be more prosperous. ”

Li Yu opened his mouth and said a clichΓ©, without any nutrition.

Li An shook his head lightly and said, "King Guangping didn't say anything!" Let's talk about the specifics! ”

After thinking for a long time, Li Yu looked at Li An very innocently, and said: "Li Shilang is embarrassing for me, I have never thought about such a problem as governing the world, how to do it, I really can't say it for a while, Li Shilang thinks how to govern the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Li An smiled and said: "Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, employing people is crucial, let different people perform their duties, this is not wrong, and it is also the most correct, in addition, the specific national policy still needs to be decided by the emperor, for example, when the country was first founded, the imperial court paid more attention to the military, and the emperor needed more rewards for people who made military merits and gave them better treatment, and when the world was peaceful for a long time, the emperor needed to pay more attention to people's livelihood and economy, and strive to develop agriculture, so that all the people could have food, and at this momentIn this way, the emperor should pay more attention to industry, encourage and reward craftsmen, and the treasury should also be more inclined to industry, invest more in industrial construction, and ......"

said a lot of statecraft in one breath, and Li An didn't know how much Li Yu understood, but Li Yu was still relatively young, and he would have time in the future to slowly learn the principles of governing the country, and Li An would also be his teacher patiently and seriously teach him how to govern the country.

Li Yu looked around cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Is Li Shilang really able to spy on the heavens?" Can you teach me this? ”

"This heavenly opportunity can't be leaked casually, King Guangping should not ask more."

Ang Lee put on a look of a magic stick, and his expression was very funny.

"The secret of heaven must not be leaked, and the secret of heaven must not be leaked."

Li Yu, the king of Guangping, still has a lot of respect for God, and when he heard Li An say this, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

The local chicken soup is still boiling, and the wild boar has been barbecued for a while, and the intoxicating aroma of food is wafting in the air at will, making Li An and Li Yu, who are standing on a high place and enjoying the scenery, can't help but be hungry.

"King Guangping, your stomach is screaming, it's very loud."

Li An looked at Li Yu with a smile.
