Li An will not care if others laugh at him, eating and drinking as much as possible is the only goal, although Li An is not short of money now, but some ingredients are special for the royal family, outside the palace, no matter how much money you spend, you can't buy them, and of the six plates of side dishes just eaten, two of them are special delicacies, which cannot be bought in the capital market. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The new three plates of hot dishes, all of which are meaty, look greasy and greasy, smell full of intoxicating aroma, in the eyes of later generations, greasy food is very unappetizing, but in the era of Datang, it is a kind of happiness to be able to eat greasy food, after all, the materials in this era are relatively scarce, and in the year of famine, it is a question of whether you can fill your stomach, let alone greasy meat.

Li An tasted the same, the first plate was beef, and the meat of this beef was very tender, it was obviously a small calf, the court forbade the people to slaughter the cultivated cattle, but the beef was a very delicious meat, so the royal family and the nobles would not comply, and would always find various reasons to let the cows and calves be injured, so as to provide enough reasons for slaughter.

The second plate is lamb, which tastes very fragrant and delicious, especially the ingredients are relatively complete, and it tastes naturally very fragrant.

The third plate of meat was more delicious, and it gave Ang Lee a very familiar feeling, but for a while, he couldn't remember what kind of meat it was, but it looked like a palm.

'Bear's paw, this must be bear's paw. ’

Li An suddenly remembered that he had shot a blind bear in White Wolf Mountain, and the taste of bear meat was indeed the same, this was indeed a bear's paw.

However, bear's paw is a rare delicacy, and Li Longji was so generous that he let every courtier eat a bite, which made Li An a little surprised.

In the ancient forests, there were indeed more grizzly bears, but the number was still not comparable to that of cattle and sheep, so even in the palace, there would not be too much supply of bear paws, let alone when holding a large-scale banquet, let all the courtiers eat bear paws.

But Li An looked left and right, and it was indeed a plate of bear's paws in front of each minister, a genuine bear's paw.

'How can there be so many bear's paws in the palace?' In this way, the black bear soon became extinct. ’

Li Anxia was surprised.

At the end of the song and dance, Li Longji looked at the ministers and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, can you recognize the things on this plate?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen only recognizes two plates, beef and lamb, what kind of meat is this third plate, and the taste is so delicious?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't recognize this third plate of meat, and he has never eaten it."

"Your Majesty, this seems to be a bear's paw!"

Most of the courtiers had never seen a bear's paw, but there were still ministers who recognized it.

Li Longji laughed and said: "This is the bear's paw, you Aiqing can eat the bear's paw today, you should thank Anhu'er, these bear's paws are all Anhu'er's dedication to me, I feel that I can't finish eating, so let you Aiqing taste it together, haha!" ”

"Bear's paw, so this is Bear's Paw!"

"I was fortunate enough to eat bear's paws today, and I should really thank An Jieshuai!"

"Hahaha!"

All the ministers expressed their gratitude to An Lushan.

An Lushan saluted the ministers with a smile on his face, and said that there are black bears in the mountains of Yingzhou, and more bear paws will be offered in the future, so that the ministers can eat enough.

As An Lushan, who has always liked to please the emperor and the ministers of the court, as long as he can please these people and let these people support him, it is completely worth it for him to pay these bear paws, An Lushan has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and it seems that it is not difficult to round up black bears on a large scale.

Most of the ministers had never eaten bear's paws, and when they heard that there was a healthy delicacy bear's paws outside the plate, they all ate them seriously, eager to swallow them all.

Li An originally ate very happily, and almost finished eating, but when he heard that it was An Lushanjin's tribute to the emperor, his appetite suddenly disappeared, and the last remaining bit was still on the plate.

In order to maintain his position, An Lushan not only tried his best to curry favor with Li Longji, but also tried to curry favor with the ministers in the court, so that the emperor and the ministers supported him, and his status naturally soared, and who could stop him?

'An Lushan, the bear's paw offered by the evil thief, will not eat it, and it will not be too late. ’

Li An thought so in his heart, but he had already eaten most of the bear paws, and there was only less than one-fifth left, and the fragrance emitted by these one-fifth bear paws made him a little irresistible.

No, An Lushan is a thief, but the bear's paw is not guilty, since this bear's paw has been dedicated to the emperor, it is the emperor's, such a good delicacy, wouldn't it be a pity not to eat it.

'No matter, eat first. ’

Ang Lee still couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, and ate all the remaining bear paws.

Because they knew the health effect of the bear's paw, all the ministers unconsciously ate a plate of greasy food, and they were still a little unsatisfied after eating, but soon a greasy feeling poured out of their stomachs.

Greasy bear paws are indeed very delicious, but eating too much greasy food will also produce a greasy feeling in the heart, which means that you have eaten too much, and anyone who eats too much meat will have such a greasy feeling.

Many ministers, who couldn't stand the greasy feeling, had already started drinking to suppress the sudden oiliness.

Li Longji gently stroked his lower abdomen, and said helplessly: "The bear's paw is too delicious, and if you don't pay attention, you will eat too much and serve it in soup." ””

Hearing this, Yu Chaoen whispered: "Your Majesty, the imperial dining room has prepared a kind of vegetable, which can relieve the greasy feeling in my heart." ”

"What vegetable?"

Li Longji asked softly.

"Back to everyone, it's bean sprouts, crisp and smooth, very delicious."

Yu Chaoen introduced.

"Bean sprouts? I don't think I've ever heard of it! ”

Li Longji looked at Yu Chaoen suspiciously, and then ordered: "Since it's all ready, why don't you serve it quickly." ”

"Yes, everyone, it's already been delivered."

Just as Yu Chaoen was about to go to urge, the freshly fried bean sprouts had already been brought in.

On the case in front of each minister, there were two plates of bean sprouts, namely soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts.

Li Longji looked at the soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts in front of him in surprise, and said to himself: "Bean sprouts, this is bean sprouts." ”

After some doubts, he personally took a piece of mung bean sprouts and put it in his mouth, chewed it gently, and closed his eyes slightly, revealing a very happy expression.

"It's crisp and refreshing, it's very chewy, and it just relieves the greasy feeling in the stomach, which is good, very good."

Li Longji praised it, then looked at Yu Chaoen and asked, "When did this bean sprout appear, I have never eaten it before." ”

"Everyone, this bean sprout was inadvertently invented by the subordinates of General Li's mansion, and made into a stir-fried dish, and it was only presented to the palace yesterday, of course you haven't seen it."

Yu Chaoen explained softly.

"General Li, which General Li?"

There are too many generals surnamed Li in the Tang Dynasty, how can Li Longji guess who it is.

"Everyone, it was invented by Li An, the lieutenant general of the Right Dragon Martial Army, a descendant of General Li's mansion, and these bean sprouts were presented to the palace by General Li."

Yu Chaoen explained.

At this moment, not only Li Longji was very curious, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also showed surprised expressions after tasting the taste of bean sprouts, and asked each other if they had eaten bean sprouts.

The shocked expression is not weaker than the expression when eating bear paws, after all, many people have never eaten bear paws, but they have heard of them, but the bean sprouts have not only not been eaten, but they have not even heard of it, and more importantly, the taste of the bean sprouts is very delicious, and it seems that it is born of beans at a glance, and it seems that it will not be difficult to eat in the future.

Li Longji looked in the direction of Li An, saw that Li An was eating and drinking, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, looked at the courtiers, and said loudly again: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what these two dishes are?" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen has never eaten this kind of delicacy, I don't know why."

"Your Majesty, the bear's paw just now is already the best delicacy, and this side dish is even better!"

Obviously, such a minister thinks that bean sprouts are better than bear's paws because he eats too much and is tired of eating bear's paws.

"Your Majesty, there are bean skins of mung beans and soybeans on this food, which should be the sprouts grown from soybeans and mung beans soaked in water."

"That's right, there are indeed mung beans and soybean skins, which are the sprouts of beans."

The ministers took a closer look, and there were indeed a lot of mung beans and soybean skins in the bean sprouts dish, isn't this enough to show that these two dishes are sprouts soaked in mung beans and soybeans? These ministers are all elite talents of the Tang Dynasty, how can they not understand such a truth.

Li Longji said with a smile: "This dish is called bean sprouts, it is the food that the people of Li An's mansion have figured out, General Li only dedicated it to the palace yesterday, you Aiqing is really blessed, especially if you have just eaten greasy bear paws, and then eat this kind of smooth bean sprouts, this feels really good, General Li, in the future, the bean sprouts in the palace will be supplied by you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen obeys."

Li An had just finished the last bite of bean sprouts and got up to answer.

Li Longji nodded lightly, the singing and dancing continued, and the dishes and wine continued.

"General Li, are these sprouts really made by the people of your mansion?"

"General Li, aren't these bean sprouts the sprouts that come out when mung beans are soaked in water?"

"General Li's bean sprouts made me enjoy the delicious taste of the world."

The ministers beside him began to talk to Li An, but Li An focused on eating and drinking, and always kept a perfunctory and polite greeting to the ministers.

After all, Li An can also see that many ministers want to dig out his words, so as to understand the technology of raw bean sprouts and prepare for their own raw bean sprouts, these are business secrets, of course Li An will not tell others, although others can also summarize it through long-term practice, but it takes a certain amount of time, and during this time, Li Ang and his brothers can make a lot of money.

Seeing Li An's perfunctory smile, the ministers were helpless, but the bean sprouts were obviously grown by beans in water, in the eyes of many ministers, this did not seem to have too much technical content, as long as they went back and did it, they could also give birth to bean sprouts.

An Lushan ate a few mouthfuls of bean sprouts, his expression was a little displeased, although the appetite of this bean sprout was very good, but the existence of this bean sprout weakened the effect of his bear paw.

In order to curry favor with the emperor and ministers, An Lushan sent more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to hunt black bears in the mountains, and sacrificed a large number of bear paws to the palace, for which he really paid a great price.

But the results achieved at such a great price were completely destroyed by the small bean sprouts offered by Li An, since the bean sprouts were served, almost all the ministers were talking about the bean sprouts, and seemed to have completely forgotten that they had just eaten bear paws, which made An Lushan quite helpless and resentful.

"Father, we sacrificed so many bear paws, but we were defeated by Ang Lee's two plates of bean sprouts, we really wasted so many bear paws in vain."

An Qingzong glared at Li An with a look of resentment.

An Lushan was worried that his son's words would be heard by the minister, so he hurriedly scolded in a low voice: "Rebel, shut up for me." ”

An Qingzong was reprimanded by his father, and he bowed his head and did not speak, but the depression in his heart had nowhere to vent, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Next, the palace maids brought several plates of dishes and wine, in addition, the singing and dancing were also changed batch after batch, and the environment of the scene was quite cheerful and harmonious.

After the song and dance ended, the scholars in the hall began to fight poetry, regardless of the official position, they were all fiddling with their literary talents.

As a military general, Ang Lee naturally did not dare to mix blindly, lest he be laughed at for his poetry.

A minister who was energetic in writing poetry suddenly said: "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of Wenchen's poetry, it is better to let the generals compose poems, so that we can experience different styles." ”

"That's right! The poetry of military generals must be full of heroism, which is not comparable to literati such as us! ”

These ministers obviously did it on purpose, just to see the jokes of the generals, after all, many generals have a relatively low level of education, and it is too difficult for them to compose poems.

Li Longji didn't think about this, maybe he also had the intention to make things difficult for these generals! After a pause, he looked at An Lushan and said softly: "An Hu'er, you come first." ”

After speaking, he looked at the ministers with a smile.

This is obviously to see An Lushan's jokes in order to adjust the atmosphere of the banquet, An Lushan naturally understands this truth, he can't do poetry, but just say a sentence like a poem, he still has the ability.

"Yes, Your Majesty, think about it!"

An Lushan smirked, paused, touched his fat belly, and said seriously: "There is a Hu in Yingzhou, named An Hu'er, who wants nothing in this life, only to be loyal to His Majesty." ”

He laughed out loud.

"Good poetry, really good poetry! Ha ha! ”

Li Longji applauded happily, this poem does not have much connotation, but it is full of a taste of sycophancy, which makes him feel comfortable to listen to, and with An Lushan's cultural level, it is not easy to make such a five-character quatrain, which can be described as extraordinary.

The Wenchen despised it in their hearts, but on the surface, they praised An Lushan with a smile and praised An Lushan for making a good poem, but in fact, it was a poem satirizing An Lushan, which was incomprehensible and full of the smell of sycophancy.

At this moment, several eunuchs brought the four treasures of the study, ready to record the poems made by the ministers just now, of course, including the one made by An Lushan.

Li Longji looked at the ministers and said: "To compose poems, you have to write poems, and if there are poems below, you don't have to read them, just write them silently on paper, which also saves copying." ”

"Your Majesty."

Li Longji smiled, looked at Li An, and said softly: "General Li, you have just calmed down the land, you must have felt something, it is better to compose a poem to express the feelings in your heart." (To be continued.) )
