The food on the foodie's house is not covered, that is called a delicacy.

In the dining room, there is a large round table with a rotating turntable.

Kong Yingda and others saw this way of eating for the first time, and everyone sat around and talked while eating, which felt very good.

Looking at the inquiring glances of the old men, Li You promised to give them one set each, in exchange for their eyebrows and smiles.

The dishes came up, there were not many on the table, and six cold dishes and hot dishes came up one after another.

Li You can be sloppy with others, but he is absolutely particular about eating. First of all, the tableware is expensive and exquisite, beautiful and generous. The dishes are more particular, with both color and flavor.

Even the knife work of cutting vegetables, in addition to the leaves, is required to be uniform in size and consistent in thickness and thickness.

There are also watermelons, radish carvings and other art-like patterns, which are breathtaking.

Not only that, but the dining room is very elegantly decorated, with the color of the curtains, the color of the wooden floors, and the paintings on the screens. There are also a lot of flowers in the corners of the room and on the windowsill.

One word: exquisite.

No matter what the two old men say, the two little beauties like this atmosphere very much.

The quality of the dishes is impeccable, and I won't repeat them here. There are two things that are absolutely shocking. One is wine, the other is high.

Wine was already available in Gaochang at this time, because the road was far away, Chang'an was also extremely rare, and the processing technology could not catch up with Li You's winemaking.

There was no distilled liquor in the Tang Dynasty, and the highest degree was in the early 20s, and the so-called three-distilled and three-brewed Sanle pulp and green ant liquor were also low-alcohol liquors. Li You's brewing of high-grade sake is definitely a shocking thing.

After everyone tasted it, they were full of praise.

Xiao Wanyu asked, "Such a good wine, why not brew it in large quantities?" ”

Li You said: "It will be in the future, but not now." The raw material for sake brewing is grain, and now the grain production is not high, and it is not the right time. When there is a surplus of food, I will brew it in large quantities. It's also a money-making business.

There is another reason, Datang's winemaking workshops are everywhere, and the profits are extremely low, and I don't know how many winemaking workshops will go out of business, and I still don't care to do it when I steal other people's jobs. ”

This is not how high Li You's consciousness is, making things such as monosodium glutamate and soap that no one competes against, not only a technological monopoly, but also will not impact the business of ordinary people. can't steal business with others, as a traveler, you should have a face.

The two old men glanced at Li You's realm, and the eyes of the two little beauties had something shiny and shiny.

It was the habit of the people of the Tang Dynasty to compose poems when drinking. Everyone was drinking and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

……

On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in midsummer, the clear sky is deep and far.

The city of Lhasa.

On the tower of the royal city, a tall young man with a handsome face stared at the southeast with a deep gaze. He is the British lord Songtsen Gampo of the Tibetan generation.

In the third year of Zhenguan (629), Songtsen Gampo's father, Langri Nonzan, was murdered, and rebellions broke out in the country.

At this critical moment, the twelve-year-old Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne, and in just a few years, he unified a divided Tibet, pacified the civil strife, reformed the political system, developed the economy, and made Tibet a powerful country.

He is only 18 years old this year, the same age as Murong Bo, the Khan of Tuyuhun.

Songtsen Gampo asked, "Uncle, Lu Dongzan is about to arrive in Chang'an, right?" ”

"Yes, Zamp." A middle-aged man with a long beard said. He was Songtsen Gampo's uncle, Marshal Bingmadu on Kore.

Songtsen Gampo asked, "How's the progress going there in Tuyuhun?" ”

On Keer said: "Murong Qian has the heart to belong to my Tubo, and some people around him want to establish a country on their own, and they are currently hesitating. The ministers are stepping up their work and striving to make them join Tibet as soon as possible. ”

Murong Qian, the cousin of Murong Fuyun, the old Khan of Tuyuhun, joined forces with Murong Zun to launch a rebellion and killed Murong Shun, and was named General Zuo by Murong Zun and stationed in Longde City. And with the help of the Tibetans, they defeated the Tang army led by Gao Yong.

After Murong Zun's death, he occupied the southwest region of Longde City and proclaimed himself a great general, and the Tubo people were mobilizing him to join the Tubo.

Songtsen Gampo had always wanted to annex Tuyuhun, so he supported Murong Zun in launching a rebellion. After Murong Zun's death, Murong Bo was canonized as Tuyuhun New Khan, which caused a setback to his plans.

Songtsen Gampo wanted to take advantage of Murong Bo's new power and unstable foothold to support Murong Qian in launching a war, eliminating Murong Bo, and then completely annexing Guhun.

However, he was worried about the attitude of the Tang Dynasty, so he sent Lu Dongzan to Chang'an to investigate the truth.

Yongzhou Xukuo (now Zhouzhi, Xi'an City) County.

It is located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, with lush vegetation and beautiful scenery.

However, this year's weather was abnormal, with a severe drought in the first half of the year and a cloudy second half of the year

The rain continued, and although it was not rainy, it was annoying.

Yu Chi Baoqi led a prospecting team and trekked deep and shallow in the mud.

An official sent by the Ministry of Industry said to Gao Yong's nephew Gao Tong as he walked: "Your Highness is unreliable, I have been looking for so long, and I haven't found copper ore." ”

Qualcomm also looked depressed and said: "Yes, there are nine ditches and eighteen gullies here, 52 ravines of all sizes, we are almost all over, and we have not found copper mines." I think, let's go through this last ditch again, it's really not good, let's go back. ”

Yu Chi Baoqi said: "That's not good, His Highness said that there must be one." He admired Li You very much, listened to his words, and firmly believed in Li You's words.

He said: "I didn't find it, that's our problem, His Highness said that there is here, there must be it." ”

Yu Chi Baoqi was the captain, so everyone had to listen to him and continue to trek through the mud.

Soon, there was a "whooshing" sound of running water in front of them, and a stream appeared in front of everyone.

The pants of Yu Chi Baoqi and the others were already wet, and they didn't bother to pull up their trouser legs when they went into the water, so everyone went down directly and waded across the river.

The stream was not deep, and it had just reached the thighs, but the current was very strong, and everyone struggled forward.

With an "oops", Qualcomm fell. Yu Chi Baoqi hurriedly dragged him up.

After Qualcomm stood up, he felt a weight on his waist, he looked down and saw that it was a stone rolled into his clothes, he took out the stone, cursed, and threw it into the water.

Just before he threw it into the water, Yu Chi Baoqi seemed to see some blue, and he shouted, "Quickly pick up that stone!" ”

Qualcomm was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yu Chi Baoqi ignored him and threw himself into the water at once, and after a while, he grabbed the stone in his hand, wiped the water droplets in front of him, and examined the stone carefully.

"Hahaha" Yu Chi Baoqi held the stone and grinned.

Everyone gathered around to take a look, and saw that the color of the stone resembled the spots on the feathers of a peacock, and the blue shone brightly.

It turned out to be azur ore!
