Chang'an wine shop.

Pei Min, Zhang Xu, He Zhizhang, Li Jin, Li Shizhi, Su Jin, and Jiao Sui gathered in one place.

After sealing the Zen matter, Pei Min has already decided to leave to return to Liangzhou.

Prior to this, Pei Min invited Zhang Xu to serve in Liangliang.

Zhang Xu's talent is undoubted, but his temperament is really not suitable for being an official.

If you really want to arrange something for him, maybe he will drink high without paying attention, and everything will be over.

However, when people reach a certain age, they must have a home after all.

Zhang Xu spent twenty-five years and walked most of the world. Now that he is nearly half a hundred years old, if he wants to settle down, Pei Min naturally wants to find a way out for his old brother.

I have already thought about what the position is, the first owner of the Huaxia Library of Congress.

To be able to take this name, Pei Min naturally plans to build the Liangzhou Library into the largest library in Datang and even the world, in order to promote Chinese culture, attract students of different races to study in Datang, absorb talents of other ethnic groups, and let Chinese culture spread to the world.

Zhang Xu's literary fame is enough to serve as the owner of the museum.

Although he is a good drinker and heavy drinker, Zhang Xu is meticulous in his treatment of learning.

Moreover, Li Longji also agreed to Pei Min and asked the Zhaowen Pavilion and Lizheng Xiu Academy in Chang'an to cooperate, and the person in charge was He Zhizhang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

People are familiar with things and easy to do, this is an unchanging truth in ancient times.

Whether it is public or private, Zhang Xu is the best choice.

Zhang Xu is also thinking about where to stay, and with his reputation as the world's number one calligrapher, he does not have to worry about having no home.

But Zhang Xu didn't want to tie his hands and feet, so he didn't make a decision.

Pei Min's proposal was right in Zhang Xu's arms.

The owner of the library is idle when he hears it, and repairing books and reading and writing books is Zhang Xu's fun.

It can be said that the first owner of the Huaxia Library of Congress was specially prepared for him Zhang Xu.

Pei Min was so thoughtful, Zhang Xu naturally agreed.

This is about to leave Chang'an, and several major drunkards will also make an appointment to get together to say goodbye.

Looking at the drunkards who were eating and drinking, Pei Min couldn't help but find his apprentice Li Bai, touched his chin and said: "If Taibai is here, he will raise eight people, I don't know where else is there?" Or was it because of his own appearance that he was squeezed out? ”

"Serve! A few guest officers, the best ancient building in the shop, the only one in the world, all the guest officers slowly tasted ......"

The enthusiastic voice of the shopkeeper echoed in the private room, holding a huge plate of dishes, and placing large dough cakes the size of a pig's head in front of everyone's table.

This kind of cake pasta is mostly spread in the Western Regions, and it is also called Hu cake.

The introduction of Hu cake has been recorded in the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is well known for his good Hu cakes, and the Book of Jin also has a record of Wang Xizhi's solitary belly and east bed, chewing on Hu cakes, and looking calm.

In the Tang Dynasty, chewing cakes became the most fashionable enjoyment.

Pei Min has been in the Tang Dynasty for ten years and has eaten a lot of pastries, but this is the first time he has seen such a big bread.

Curiously, he reached out and clicked on it, the dough was fluffy and a little elastic.

Seeing this, Li Jin on the side smiled and said, "Gong Pei hasn't tasted this ancient building yet, it's the signature dish of this restaurant." It was developed spontaneously by the ancient imperial chef of Zhishi based on Hu Cake. There is only one in the world, and it is worth tasting. ”

This Li Jin is the eldest son of Li Xian, the king of Ning, and the grandson of Li Dan, the emperor of Ruizong.

Li Jin inherited the fine tradition of the Li family and was very handsome, simply Wang Wei's second.

Wang Wei's appearance is white and beautiful, while Li Jin is "bright and bright, with thin skin, non-human beings, and will be immortal"

This evaluation was given by Li Longji, which is of course a bit exaggerated.

After all, in Pei Min's eyes, his little secret Wang Wei is the most beautiful, and Li Jin is inferior.

That's it, but it's also a rare creamy little raw.

Because of Li Jin's beautiful appearance, Li Longji was also very enthusiastic to give his eldest nephew the nickname "Flower Slave".

Pei Min was very curious about Li Jin's psychological shadow area.

Anyway, Li Longji is very fond of his eldest nephew.

Li Jin, who inherited his father Li Xian's music cell, did not develop into the flute, but let Li Longji rob him, became a master, and taught him the method of drumming, which won the true inheritance of Li Longji.

Li Jin is also a good wine, and Zhang Xu got acquainted with Chang'an when Pei Min and He Zhizhang were in Zen.

Pei Min's relationship with King Ning became increasingly close, which also affected his friendship with Li Jin, and the relationship was growing day by day.

"Then I'll try it!"

Pei Min said, grabbed the boss's Hu cake, took a bite of it, and his mouth was full of the fragrance of peppercorns and tempeh, as well as a kind of smooth meat aroma, the thin dough was full of filling, the taste was delicious and spicy, the more he chewed, the more fragrant he was, he couldn't stop his mouth, swallowed his stomach, resisted the urge to eat the second bite, and said, "This is mutton?" Impossible! ”

Li Jin smiled: "It is indeed mutton, genuine mutton." ”

Pei Min couldn't help but take another bite, confirmed that it was the crispy mutton, and said with a smile: "It's really delicious!" ”

He couldn't help but take care of it.

The meat of this era was mainly cattle, sheep and pigs, and chickens, ducks and geese were poultry, and poultry was not considered meat in ancient times.

Beef is the most expensive, followed by sheep, and pork is the cheapest.

Nobles generally use mutton, but one of the major drawbacks of mutton is that it has a nasty smell of mutton.

How to get rid of the strange smell of mutton is the key to making good mutton.

There are many ways to remove the taste of mutton, which is nothing more than steaming, roasting, and boiling with seasonings.

However, the mutton in the "ancient building" they ate was only five or six medium-rare, just like a steak, very chewy.

The five or six medium-rare mutton did not have the slightest smell of mutton, which made Pei Min, who had eaten mutton for many years, doubt his sense of taste and subvert his concept.

However, Pei Min is not a chef, and he never cooks, ignores the method, and does not ask questions.

I couldn't drink the wine anymore, so I ate it with relish.

Only when others persuade you to drink, will you drink a few glasses appropriately.

It wasn't until the "Gulouzi" was wiped out that Pei Min touched his stomach and said, "It's so delicious, I can't taste it when I return to Liangzhou, it's a pity." ”

Li Jin continued: "What's so difficult about this, the climate is particularly cool now, and meat is not easy to spoil." Every ten days, the next person will send this 'ancient building' to Liangzhou in an expedited manner of 800 miles, and then Pei Gong only needs to heat it up a little to taste the deliciousness. However, when the weather warms up, this trick will not apply. ”

Pei Min shook his head with a smile, thinking, if this is the case, wouldn't it become Yang Yuhuan, and paused: "This is not in a hurry, I will let someone prepare some and send it to Liangzhou, so that my mother, wife and children can taste it, they really like it." ”

Eating and drinking well, Pei Min took the first step to say goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Xiao Er who asked the wine shop to prepare a "Gu Louzi" for him and rushed to the pear orchard.

Pei Min was worried that the "Gu Louzi" was cold, so he called Xie Aman first.

"Camp General!" Xie Aman saluted with a smile, barefoot, and her little feet were white and tender, which was very conspicuous.

The main artistic conception of the Lingbo Dance is that the Lingbo Dragon Girl dances on the water, a pair of beautiful feet is the most important, in addition to having a delicate and sweet appearance, the terrible murder weapon, the most beautiful place for Xie Aman is the pair of little feet.

Pei Min retracted his gaze, pointed to the mat not far away and said, "Sit!" ”

Xie Aman sat down briskly on the side, chattering non-stop: "Le Ying will go to seal Zen with His Majesty, Mount Tai is fun, I heard that Mount Tai is the first mountain in the world, the scenery is beautiful, what does it look like, what is the difference with Zhongnan Mountain......

Pei Min didn't answer, he handed her the bamboo basket directly, and said with a smile: "This is for you, it tastes very good, but it should be a little cold, it's better to heat it up." ”

When Xie Aman heard that it was eaten, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to take it, grabbed the flatbread and took a bite.

She is a little girl, and there is no taboo of "eating without words", and she said vaguely while eating: "It's okay, I have a big appetite, I am hungry fast, I often eat cold, and I am used to ......"

Pei Min glanced at Xie Aman's water snake waist, and couldn't help but cry out to other girls.

Presumably, this Xie Aman is the legendary type of person who can't eat fat.

Before Pei Min could speak, Xie Aman was already pouting, and shouted: "Hmm, it's delicious, what kind of cake is this, it tastes so good......

She ate faster and faster.

Pei Min smiled bitterly and persuaded him: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you!" ”

Xie Aman couldn't stop and eat the flatbread cleanly, so he burped and said, "I'm full, it's so comfortable, this cake tastes so good, how about Leying bring a copy to Aman tomorrow?" Aman will be grateful for your lifetime ......" said, looking at Pei Min pitifully.

Pei Min smiled: "Your gratitude is really cheap!" But this is impossible, I am going back to Liangzhou, and I don't know when I will be able to come again, today I am specially here to say goodbye. ”

"Ahh Xie Aman's face was surprised, with a little reluctance, and he lowered his head and said, "That's it!" ”

Pei Min said: "If you think it's delicious, I'll ask the deputy battalion to buy it for you every day." ”

"Oh!" Xie Aman was not as happy as he imagined, and there was a little reluctance in his heart.

She has been sold to the pear orchard since she was a child, and all the women around her are women, the only male music camp general, and she has special habits.

Almost all of the people I came into contact with were women.

There are a lot of men in the club, but the way the dance club is managed differently from the club. Only when training, will they be together, and there is no possibility of contact in private.

For some reason, Xie Aman was a little lonely and bored in the pear orchard, and Pei Min's appearance made waves in Xie Aman's peaceful life.

Pei Min was like a savior, helping her teach her a lesson to the hated deputy battalion general Zhang Yehu, and allowed her family to meet with him every month, and from time to time he brought her some delicious food to play and talk with her.

All these changes are something that Xie Aman has never felt in the pear orchard for five years, and when he heard that Pei Min was leaving, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, his nose was sour, and his eyes were a little sour.

Pei Min saw that the little girl was a little sentimental, and said with a smile: "Don't cry your nose!" If you have the opportunity, you will definitely come to Chang'an, and it doesn't mean that you will never see you again. I'm a Le Camp general, and I can't hide if I want to. Next time I come back from Liangzhou, I'll bring you some snacks from the Western Regions, and I'll make sure you haven't eaten them. ”

Xie Aman said stubbornly: "I won't cry my nose......" She said aggrievedly: "Okay, come back early, don't lie to me." And remember to bring a lot of thanks, if you forget, I'll cry! ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Pei Min smiled and raised his hand in surrender.

In the face of the pressures of life, there is intrigue everywhere.

In the pear orchard, a place where no one disturbs, teasing an innocent little girl, there is nothing more relaxing and pleasant than this.

After talking with Xie Aman for a while, Pei Min called Zhang Yehu to ask about the pear orchard, made some explanations, and left the pear orchard.

**********

Chang'an Imperial City Wude Palace!

Li Longji was conscientiously handling government affairs, looking at a report from the envoy of the Turk, and said with a smile: "Another one who wants to marry a princess?" General Gao, this loyal Khan Sulu is not light, and the role of the Raiders is 200,000 rangers, which should not be underestimated. This person is also deferential to my Datang, and in recent years, he has paid endless tribute, so he has to agree to his request. It's just that I don't know whose maid children are suitable? ”

Harmony is a kind of political marriage between the ruler of the Central Plains Dynasty and the surrounding ethnic minorities or the leaders of various ethnic minorities for various purposes. As an integral part of the general national policy of all dynasties and a form of expression of ethnic relations, every dynasty except the Ming Dynasty had a similar situation.

At different times, the situation of the relatives is also different.

In the weakest Wu Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zetian entered the vassal king, which was a great shame.

But now Datang's status and strength are transcendent, and the initiative of harmony is completely in the hands of Datang.

The princess who is close to her is not a princess, in May last year, the Khitan king Yugan proposed to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Longji arranged for a girl in his aunt's house, gave her the title of a princess, and married her.

With a girl, in exchange for the stability of the frontier, as well as the tribute paid year after year.

In Li Longji's eyes, this account is worth it.

Now that Tuqi Shi has come to propose marriage again, Li Longji is thinking about the right fit for that maid.

Gao Lishi thought for a while and said, "What does Your Majesty think of Ashina Huaidao's daughter?" ”

Li Longji's eyes lit up, Ashina Huaidao is the ten surnamed Khan of the Western Turks, and he has been obedient to the Tang Dynasty for many years.

Marrying an alien khan with an alien princess is more suitable than finding a girl.

After all, Turgish is not a weak Khitan.

Li Longji put the chapter aside: "The general is still thoughtful, you will draw up a decree for me, and make the daughter of Ashina Huaidao the princess of Jiaohe, and order him to marry Sulu, the Khan of Tuqishi." After a pause, he said: "I remember that Ashina Huaidao was placed in Longyou, and Jingyuan was about to return to Liangzhou. Let him bring the holy decree to Ashina Huaidao by the way, and let him send someone to escort Princess Jiaohe to marry Sulu. Don't make it too grand, just arrange for someone to go casually. After all, she wasn't a real princess, and she didn't dare to say anything. ”

It is an ancient truth that a weak country has no diplomacy.

Now Li Longji has this confidence.

Saying that, Li Longji sighed and said, "Jingyuan is about to return to Liangzhou, and I am very reluctant in my heart!" Alas! It's a pity that no one can replace him, otherwise I really want to keep him in Chang'an......"
