There are guests from afar, don't you also say?

Li Yuanjia led the prime minister of the dynasty to the restaurant that he specially used to entertain guests, but almost never used it, and said with a polite smile: "Li Xianggong, there is no longer that kind of dwarf table in this palace, and I am not used to kneeling and sitting, so please try this kind of table and chair that needs to sit up?" ”

Today's Datang is mostly still divided into meals.

Everyone has a small table, and each dish is served to everyone, and each person eats their own, which is the essence of the meal system. In addition, everyone uses their own independent bowls and chopsticks in the separate meal system, which is also more hygienic and convenient.

It's just that for Li Yuanjia, he is not used to it.

Therefore, after the appearance of tables and chairs, they immediately replaced the kind of low table for eating, and after Chen Mu's continuous improvement, the latest set of tables and chairs has been quite comfortable, and Li Yuanjia can't go back.

"Hehe, it's okay!"

smiled and waved his hand, but Li Jing's eyes couldn't help but drift to the table and chair.

These things......

"Wonderful!"

After some humility, after everyone sat down separately, they carefully stroked the smooth armrests, and Li Jing couldn't help but praise: "I have long heard that the tables and chairs of the Dawang's family are comfortable, and the carpenter in my house also went to the Fang Gong's Mansion to study for a while, and came back to build a few sets." I thought it was already very good, but compared to what the king used...... Haha, sure enough, one in the sky and one underground! ”

This thing, it's too bad.

Especially thinking about the fact that the tables and chairs in his house are just polished and smooth, it makes him feel very comfortable, and the tables and chairs of Xu Wang's family are not only more comfortable to sit on, but also look more stable and elegant, faintly revealing such a sense of luxury, Li Jing likes it very much in his heart.

Not surprised by Lao Li's reaction, Li Yuanjia smiled slightly and said: "If Li Xianggong likes it, I will ask the craftsmen in the house to make a few sets for you and send them to Chang'an." ”

A set of Eight Immortals Table and Taishi Chair, even if the best wood is used, how much is it worth?

Although he shouldn't get too close to the important ministers of the court, Li Yuanjia still admires the famous old man in history very much, and he doesn't mind giving each other a few sets.

Li Jing hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "In this case, thank you to the king!" ”

After finishing speaking, the old man's mind turned to the table - he smelled the tempting aroma before he entered the room just now, but after coming in, he had been looking at the Eight Immortals Table and the Taishi Chair, and now when he looked at the dishes on the table, Li Jing couldn't help but be stunned again.

There aren't a lot of dishes, and the table is just full.

But what surprised Li Jing was that looking at the past, none of these dishes did he know...... Or eaten!

This, it's embarrassing.

One of the top figures in the Tang Dynasty, when he came to the palace to eat, he couldn't help but be entertained with his own dishes, which was something that had never happened to Li Jing! Even if he had known about the stir-fry of the Xu Wang's family for a long time, he had been mentally prepared, but when he was really faced with a table of dishes, Li Jing still twitched the corners of his mouth and secretly smiled bitterly.

Seeing the old man's expression, Li Yuanjia was happy again this time.

I heard that the guest who came was the dignified right scholar and servant, the famous Li Jing, the cook of the palace trembled with excitement, and directly used all her skills - although the Yu Niang who came from Chang'an is not a person who has never seen a big scene, but since she came to the ghost place of Luzhou, in addition to cooking for the king, she has really never met such a high-level guest!

I didn't say it, eight dishes and one soup!

Of course, such a configuration is not luxurious, and it is even a little shabby compared to the identity of the guests, but considering the level of Li Yuanjia's usual meals, it is already quite sumptuous.

And......

Almost original, fragrant braised pork ribs, have you ever seen it?

The Tang version of the boiled unspeakable meat, have you ever eaten it?

Four meat dishes, four vegetarian dishes, and a winter melon ball soup, all of which are the dishes that Yu Niang is best at recently, and Li Yuanjia also likes more.

Before officially moving the chopsticks, Chunyan and Liu Mei sent two basins of water and snow-white handkerchiefs.

After cleaning his hands and drying them, Li Yuanjia picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Li Xianggong, please...... Hehe, try this braised pork ribs first, one of my chef's best dishes! ”

"Braised pork ribs? What kind of meat are these ribs? ”

After smelling the tempting aroma, Li Jing subconsciously swallowed his saliva and asked with some curiosity.

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Li Yuanjia smiled: "Pork, the bones between the ribs." ”

"Pork?"

After hearing this word, Li Jing's eyes changed slightly.

"Yes, it's pork."

Nodding, Li Yuanjia took the lead in stretching out his chopsticks and sandwiching a piece of braised pork ribs with good color and flavor. The ribs of just the right size quickly completed the separation of flesh and bones, and the meat remained in Li Yuanjia's mouth, while the bones were spit out into a small dish next to him by him.

After hesitating, Li Jing also stretched out his chopsticks.

The nobles of the Tang Dynasty naturally prefer mutton, but pork is not eaten at all, in fact, the officials' fortunes include pork. It's just that at Li Jing's level, he usually doesn't eat it, and most of them are used to reward his subordinates.

But King Xu ate a piece first, and he didn't smell good.

Not to mention......

The color and aroma of these ribs are so attractive, and seeing King Xu's expression is so enjoyable, Li Jing, who was already hungry at this time, really couldn't resist the temptation.

Carefully pick up a chopstick and put it in your mouth, and a rich aroma bursts in your mouth instantly!

"Huh?"

His eyes lit up, and Li Jing, who had good teeth, chewed hard a few times, and swallowed the meat with a satisfied face: "Not bad, it's very fragrant...... This is also done using the stir-fry method? ”

“…… Sort of. ”

His eyelids jumped, and Li Yuanjia nodded.

Basically, braised pork ribs can indeed be classified into the category of stir-frying, but the specific method is much more troublesome, such as blanching in the front, stir-frying sugar, and adding water to stew in the back......

So wisely diverted the topic, Li Yuanjia pointed to the second dish: "Xianggong, you can try this boiled meat again, it tastes good." ”

This time, without Li Yuanjia taking the lead, the old man directly took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

And then......

"Hehe, that's good!"

After tasting the taste of beef, Li Jing smiled meaningfully at Li Yuanjia, and then nodded and praised: "The meat is tender and smooth, the taste is rich, and it is really much more delicious than ordinary steaming!" ”

For the old man's eyes, Li Yuanjia was unmoved.

I'm a dignified Prince of the Tang Dynasty, what's wrong with eating beef? Not to mention that this is Luzhou now, even in Chang'an City, is it difficult for those powerful people to eat beef?

So with the same smile, Li Yuanjia said quietly: "Hehe, it's good if you like it." Try this again...... Come on, give Li Xianggong a bowl of winter melon ball soup......"
