Chapter 53: A Feast for All
Qin Shaochu took Duan Qiuyue Xuanxuan and others to the guest inn, the people in the inn saw Qin Shaochu coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, Qin Shaochu nodded, and then said: "Everyone, I have decided to invite Your Majesty and others to a banquet in our inn tonight, so you need to help more." ”
When everyone heard that His Majesty was coming, they were very excited, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Looking at everyone's excited appearance, Qin Shaochu nodded and clapped his hands, Okay, since that's the case, let's start cooking.
"Good"
Qin Shaochu turned around and came to Duan Qiuyue's side, "Qiuyue, I'll go to the back and tell them, you can accompany Xuanxuan here,"
Duan Qiuyue nodded, "Okay, you go get busy."
"Hmm", after saying that, Qin Shaochu went to the kitchen, and when he came to the kitchen, Qin Shaochu told everyone what to cook, how to cook, and how to step all the chefs.
At night, the streets were lit up, Qin Shaochu accompanied Xuanxuan and Duan Qiuyue in the inn, and after a while, a subordinate outside said: "Duan Fu Duan Shangshu, Mrs. Duan has arrived,"
Qin Shaochu stepped forward to greet the future father-in-law, Duan Lun walked into the inn, and when he saw that the inn was still empty, he said, "Nephew Qin Xian, it seems that my wife and I are the first to come here." ”
Qin Shaochu smiled, "Uncle, don't worry, Your Majesty will come here later." ”
Hearing that His Majesty was coming, Duan Lun was very surprised, but when he turned his head and thought about it, His Majesty valued Qin Xian's nephew very much, thinking of this, Duan Lun laughed, "Okay, I'll wait here for Your Majesty to come."
"Chu Shangshu arrives"
Qin Shaochu stepped forward, "Chu Shangshu, I haven't seen you for many days." ”
Chu Shangshu looked at Qin Shaochu and nodded, "Dean Qin, I haven't seen you for many days." ”
"Lu Guogong arrives"
As soon as the next person finished speaking, Cheng Yanjin laughed before he walked into the inn, and as soon as he walked in, he saw Qin Shaochu and said loudly: "Haha, Dean Qin, I haven't seen you for many days."
Qin Shaochu also politely returned the salute, "Lu Guogong, I haven't seen you for many days." ”
"Li Shangshu arrived"
As soon as everyone heard that Li Daozong was also coming, Duan Lun was a little worried, so he went to Qin Shaochu, "Nephew Qin Xian, look?" ”
Qin Shaochu shook his head, "Uncle, don't worry. ”
Li Daozong walked in, came to Qin Shaochu, looked at it quietly for a while, and then said, "Dean Qin, I haven't seen you for many days. ”
Qin Shaochu smiled and said, "Li Shangshu, I haven't seen you for many days." ”
Half an hour later, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty all came to the inn, Qin Shaochu arranged tables for them according to everyone's position, and then the subordinates outside ran in and said to Qin Shaochu; "Young Master Qin, Your Majesty is here."
As soon as everyone heard that His Majesty was coming, they hurriedly got up, Qin Shaochu nodded, and then walked out of the inn with everyone, and when they saw Li Shimin coming over with a group of people, everyone hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are here." ”
Li Shimin looked at everyone and nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, let's get up, don't stand on the street, let's go in." ”
"Yes"
Qin Shaochu took Li Shimin to the second floor, and several Shangshu also followed, and when Li Shimin and the others sat down, Qin Shaochu asked someone to start serving, and soon the food was served, Li Shimin looked at these meals, and found that none of them were in the Tang Dynasty, and every dish was something he had never seen
I was also curious in my heart, this Qin Shaochu's guest inn would actually cook such a dish.
Every dish was served, Qin Shaochu also gave Li Shiren the names of these dishes and the methods, and everyone felt that they were about to salivate when they heard Qin Shaochu just talking.
After Qin Shaochu finished speaking, Li Shimin nodded, then looked at everyone's expressions, and found that they were about to drool, smiled slightly, and then said: "Okay, Qin Aiqing has also finished speaking, since this is the case, then I have to taste it." ”
After speaking, Li Shimin picked up the chopsticks, picked up a dish, and began to eat, just after eating this bite, Li Shimin said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad." "Everyone, Aiqing, you eat too"
Hearing His Majesty's words, everyone also picked up their chopsticks and ate them, and as soon as the dish was eaten, everyone nodded at the same time, "That's the case, Dean Qin, your dish is really delicious." ”
In this regard, Qin Shaochu smiled slightly.
After eating for a while, Li Shimin put down his chopsticks, looked at Qin Shaochu, and then said, "Qin Aiqing, I didn't expect that the cook of your inn would cook vegetables, which is really good." ”
Qin Shaochu hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." ”
Li Shimin thought for a moment, and then continued: "Qin Aiqing, I will go to Puzhou in the near future, would you like to go with me to have a look?" ”
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Qin Shaochu suddenly remembered, and it was recorded in history: "In the seventh year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong drove to Puzhou, and Zhao Yuankai ordered the local fathers and elders to wear yellow gauze and single clothes to greet them on the side of the road. He secretly raised more than 100 sheep and thousands of fish, intending to give them to the noble royal family.
When Tang Taizong learned of this, he summoned him and rebuked him: "I inspected the Yellow River and Luoshui, passed through several states, and everything that was needed was taken from the treasury, and the sheep and fish you fed were used to decorate the palace."
This is the bad atmosphere that led to the demise of the Sui Dynasty, and it can't be done anymore! Know my thoughts, and correct your old ways. ”
Because Zhao Yuankai was an official in the Sui Dynasty, Tang Taizong said these words to warn him. Zhao Yuankai was ashamed and scared, and died of not being able to eat for several days.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaochu came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to go to Puzhou with Your Majesty." ”
Li Shimin nodded, "Okay, I will let someone come here to inform you then", after speaking, Li Shimin felt that the time was not too early, so he said: "Well, I have eaten enough, then I will leave first, all Aiqing, you continue to eat." ”
Immediately everyone got up and sent Li Shimin out of the inn, and as soon as Li Shimin left, everyone stepped forward to congratulate Qin Shaochu, and slowly left the inn after a while.
Watching everyone leave, Duan Lun came to Qin Shaochu and said, "Nephew Qin Xian, this time I will accompany Your Majesty to Puzhou, as far as I know, Zhao Yuankai thinks that he is a corrupt official, don't accept his gifts, otherwise beware of Your Majesty's blame." ”
Qin Shaochu nodded and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, the virtuous nephew remembers, he won't accept the gift of stabbing Shi Zhao Yuankai."
"That's good, that's good" Duan Lun nodded with satisfaction when he heard Qin Shaochu's assurance, and then asked Duan Qiuyue to leave the guest inn with his wife.
As everyone left, Qin Shaochu poured a cup of tea, drank it slowly, thought about it in his heart, and then called the people in the inn to clean up.
Half an hour later, Qin Shaochu saw that everyone had packed up, and then said: "Okay, since everything is cleaned up, then close the door, Chen Er Duan Si, let's go too" After speaking, Qin Shaochu took Xuan Xuan and Duan Si, Chen Er and the others back to Qin Mansion together.
