Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong's fight, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are all for fun, and these two old men are thick-skinned and are not afraid of being laughed at, but after Li Shimin personally stopped it, although the two were still unsatisfied, they finally stopped.

Sun Xiangfu wandered around the top of the mountain and was found by Luo Tian to cook, the people in the imperial dining room brought a lot of ingredients, many of them were cooked in advance, roast mutton and other main dishes are Li Shimin's favorite, no need for Sun Xiangfu to intervene, he was tired and too lazy to move, he was looking at the dazzling array of ingredients and worrying about what to cook, and saw a young man dressed in a scribe's robe walking towards him.

"You look awkward in this scribe's robe."

"I also think it's more majestic to wear military uniforms and armor."

The person who came was Lawyer Pei, he was Pei Lone's son, Li Shimin's brother-in-law, although he likes to pretend to be a soldier and play in the army, but his identity is extremely noble, and he is known as the first and second generation of Chang'an.

"Why don't you accompany your father in your own pavilion, why are you coming to me?"

"Inquire about the restaurant, and by the way, see what you will do today. By the way, your guard Xi Jun bought it! Didn't you come along? ”

"Jun Mai is practicing hard at home to wield a knife! I'm already preparing for the restaurant, and when I go back, I can find people from all over the house to hold a shareholders' meeting together, and all you have to do is to prepare as much money as possible. ”

Seeing Lawyer Pei, Sun Xiangfu remembered the dish called flower chicken again, so he rummaged through the pile of ingredients, and sure enough, there were a lot of whole chickens that had been killed, so he summoned two cooks from the imperial dining room to mix mud with rice wine, and he began to fill the chicken belly with spices.

"It is estimated that it is impossible for him to be Fu Hongxue, I have tried, not to mention that it is difficult to swing the knife 30,000 times a day, even 10,000 times, by the way, the chicken I made after I went back last time always had a muddy smell, and it turned out that the mud of this bag of chicken was to be combined with rice wine! Such whimsical ideas, you kid can come up with it, I'll help you add ingredients! ”

Lawyer Pei said, he was going to do it, and Sun Xiangfu naturally didn't stop him, this kid was afraid that he wanted to learn a full set of production methods, and he would go home and make a tooth sacrifice by himself.

There is not much water on the mountain, all of them are picked up by the servants of the imperial dining room, so they did not plan to do too much steaming and cooking, seeing that there is a fishery department to supply the big fish in the palace, Sun Xiangfu will wear these big fish that have been marinated long ago on the bamboo skewers and brush the oil, roast the fish with low heat until the fish is slightly yellow, and then put it into an iron pot, add a few seasonal vegetables and seasonings, simmer slowly, Luo Khotan and several imperial kitchens in the imperial dining room have the same example, soon, the fragrance of more than a dozen pots of stewed fish will drift around on the top of the mountain.

With two big dishes called flower chicken and stewed fish with seasonal vegetables, in fact, you can announce the opening of the feast, after all, there are a lot of cooked pastries, and the roast mutton is slow, you have to wait for a long time, Tang Shi is a meal system, these cooked dishes plus cooked pastries, can already be placed on the small case of the ministers and their families, just wait for them to eat slowly, drink slowly, and wait for the mutton to be roasted.

After ascending the throne for a month, Li Shimin and Prime Minister Pei Lin still had no major conflict, so after Pei Lin came forward and said a few auspicious words, Li Shimin announced the banquet, and the first program of the banquet was not to eat, but to propose the women of the princes and ministers who had not left the cabinet to perform.

Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, is a necessary skill for the women of the ancient official eunuch family, but the Tang Dynasty Hu Feng was more prosperous, the women of the official eunuch family usually learn some Hu Xuan dance, Qiang flute musical instruments and other Hu people's entertainment methods, it seems to have been prepared, Li Shimin's proposal came out, there were several women responded, this era is not lacking in women who want to cling to the imperial power, sharpen their heads to the emperor's harem.

When the drum sounded, in the pavilion where Li Shimin was, several women with good figures began to dance with the drums, their waists were smart, their bodies were graceful, and the ministers who watched praised each other, and as the wine and food began to be served, the whole mountain top began to be lively.

"Dad, this is the flower chicken I told you before, smashed open this yellow mud, the chicken in it is tender, fragrant, and unstoppable."

Lawyer Pei took the lead in carrying a roasted chicken called Hua Ji to Pei Lian's case, and introduced Pei Lin as if he were offering a treasure.

"You are also a big man, Your Majesty, don't lose your dignity."

The personalities of Pei Lian, father and son, are two extremes, one is quiet, one is active, one is brilliant, and the other is martial arts, which is not like his own.

"Smack."

Ignoring his father's reprimand, Lawyer Pei slapped away the yellow mud wrapped in the chicken with a pair of meat palms, and suddenly, a rich fragrance spread in the field, and even the taste of the wine on the table was suppressed.

"What is so fragrant?"

Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong twitched their noses almost at the same time, and even Pei Lian, who had always been gentle, almost didn't hold back, not to mention the two of them, this is the prelude to the birth of the best food!

With the shouts of the two old goods, the girl who danced the Hu Xuan dance in the field also danced out of order, and stopped temporarily, and everyone's eyes also focused on the first case on the left outside the big pavilion in the middle.

"Father, it seems to be chicken." Prince Li Chengqian's eyes were sharp, and he looked at the fat chicken that was pulled out of the yellow mud lotus leaf by Lawyer Pei, and said to Li Shimin, with the meaning in his eyes was 'I want to eat'.

"Quick, quick, quick, send these chickens to His Majesty." At the urging of Luo Tian, the chamberlain hurriedly carried a large tray into the pavilion where Li Shimin was resting, and there were six or seven big yellow mud dumplings piled on the tray, all of which were called flower chickens.

Seeing that he also had the fragrant chicken sent here, several princes surrounded him, and the little fat man Li Tai couldn't help but do it first, but his fingers were burned red by the hot yellow mud, but the pain still did not stop his desire for food, and his eyes looked at Wang Dequan, who had snatched the yellow mud block from his hand, endured the heat and took out the chicken wrapped in yellow mud lotus leaves with his hands.

The charm of the chicken is that in the whole cooking process, the fragrance is not leaked, the chicken fat is hot and the oil temperature will be boiled with the ginger and garlic in the chicken belly, and when it is just peeled, the fragrance suddenly bursts out, and it is appetizing.

"Fragrant, father, I want to eat it."

Not to mention children like Li Tai and Li Lizhen, it is a few noble concubines who have eaten stir-fried vegetables and sauerkraut fish during this time, and they also began to swallow saliva at this time, and their eyes were only staring at the waiter who helped to peel the chicken.

"It's really Sven sweeping the floor, a good Hu Xuan dance, but it was ruined by this chicken."

There are ministers who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, so they began to shout below, Taizong Dynasty, the number of first-grade princes, and prime ministers are dozens, not to mention the number of second- and third-grade county dukes, county dukes, and even lower-level marquises, of course, it is impossible for the imperial dining room to prepare so many chickens, so at this time, many nobles and ministers who are not even qualified to sit can only stand in a circle and watch from a distance, and the atmosphere is very discordant.

After a while, Li Shimin's family ate their mouths and fingers oily, calling them flower chickens! Tearing and eating with his hands was exciting, and when Li Shimin realized that he was out of shape, he was already embarrassed to let those girls stand in front of the pavilion and dance.

"Today's Chongyang, I and Zhongqing climb high and look far away, drink and enjoy together, the talented and beautiful people of each family, can you have poems to offer?" Li Shimin cleaned his hands with the water brought from the interior, wiped his mouth, and said loudly to the ministers.

"Your Majesty wants to listen to the masterpieces, you need to put down some colors, so that the talented and beautiful people of each family will not hide their clumsiness." Pei Lin is a veteran of the banquet field, and things like mobilizing the atmosphere are easy for him.

"Pei Aiqing is reasonable, I have a pair of white jade mandarin ducks, if that talented and beautiful woman has a good poem to dedicate today, I will reward him with this jade, if it is good again, I will reward him with the other, and all Aiqing should be evaluated with me."

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, the ministers applauded, and the value of the white jade mandarin duck is hard to say, but if a person's poems can be praised by the emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, then this person's talent and name will soon be known to everyone, and it is a very face-revealing thing.

So, the children of the eunuchs who had read for a few days began to be eager to try, but to get the poems sung in front of the emperor and many high-ranking officials, it was also a loss of face if the quality was different, and for a while, many talented and beautiful people did not take it easily.

Sun Xiangfu actually felt that the ancients were very boring, but in order to avoid coming down from the banquet and pestering him, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, two old goods, had to stand in the crowd and hide in the crowd to watch the excitement with everyone.

After a while, a fat boy walked to the open space in front of the pavilion, cleared his throat and said, "Ninety-nine Double Yang comes to ascend, chrysanthemums and dogwoods are all over the mountain pass, and the front of Wangjing Peak is delicious, and the cloud pavilion is compared to Jiuxiao." ”

The fat boy's name is Wu Yuanqing, the eldest son of the warrior Tong of Yingguo Gong, and one of the famous gentlemen in Chang'an City.

However, even with such a limerick poem, there were still many people in the audience who applauded, comparing the cloud pavilion where Li Shimin was located to Jiuxiao, wouldn't that be praising Li Shimin as a dragon entrenched in Jiuxiao.

The dragon is the totem of the Han people, and it is also a symbol of the Son of Heaven, when Li Shimin, who was not right, compared him to him when he first ascended to the throne, of course, it was a naked sycophant, however, his father Ying Guogong Wushi Tong was an old minister of Li Yuanchao, so he overthrew the fart of his benefactor, it was very undisciplined, when someone praised him, naturally some people looked down on him, and a little beauty standing not far from Sun Xiangfu was like this.

"Wu Yuanqing, the son of the head of the Yingguo Mansion, wrote a poem, but there is a young lady who is willing to sing the piano."

Pei Lin naturally looked down on the level of this limerick poem, but since someone made it and slapped the emperor's ass, he naturally wanted to find someone who knew how to sing it, so he shouted to the crowd.
