On the way back to the Xuanfu Embassy, Li Yi warmly invited the two envoys to the inner house in the evening, and he had to cook dishes for them to ensure that they were satisfied.

As soon as this abrupt suggestion was made, both of them became interested.

They really can't imagine when Li Yi, the champion of the Han Dynasty who is familiar with the subset of scriptures and history, learned the business of stir-frying and cooking, this is a cheap servitude that scholars and doctors can't handle no matter what!

Li Yi didn't say much, just told them to go on time.

In order to make them eat comfortably, Li Yi specially explained that this was a family banquet, and only let Li Pian and Lian Jun accompany them, so that they could deepen their understanding of each other, and also highlight Lian Jun's status.

In fact, this morning, Li Yi had already instructed Wanru and Li Gui to make them fully prepared.

Like salt-baked chicken, Dongpo meat, steamed sea bass, celery tripe, winter bamboo shoots and grass eggs, etc., it is very convenient to use local materials, and both of them have already learned a lot, as long as they go back and cook a little.

Of course, Shao and Le didn't want to miss the opportunity to taste the delicious food.

At the same time, curiosity also prompted them to want to see Li Yi's craftsmanship by the way, so they immediately said that they would not be separated and went back to arrange.

As soon as he returned to the inner house, Li Pian was already waiting there.

He has been idle for the past few days, and he has already walked around Ningzhou, and he was invited to his home early in the afternoon to wait.

Seeing Li Yi walking into the inner house, Li Pian stepped forward and said, "Third brother, Li Fu and Li Gui are busy there, and their sisters-in-law are not idle inside and out." ”

"Hey, hey! Such a big pomp,! Did you invite Grandpa Shao and Grandpa Le! ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, he said with disdain: "I admire this Shao father-in-law's personality the most, he didn't say anything to our family, and he has taken good care of the two of us since childhood." ”

"But this Le Fan Xiao'er is not very authentic, he is a eunuch who does not enter the stream, he has only been in the palace for a few years, and he doesn't know how to lick the ditch before he became a deputy envoy of the Yellow Gate."

"The position is obviously higher than mine, but every time he sees me, he bows his head and bows his waist, and it is annoying to look at, and I don't want to see him."

"And he is so close to King Jin, and he has the same smell as Xu Yanzhen, Gong Chengshu and others, I really can't get used to his face."

Li Yi smiled faintly and said, "You guy, don't you understand the truth that people only speak three points?" It's just a show, why should you be so serious! ”

"Since he is the person of King Jin, you have to get along with them on the scene."

"If you go against him everywhere, or even if you look down on him, although he can't help you for a while, he has already hated you in his heart, and he will stumble and knife you at any time, such a person should not be underestimated."

Li Pian smiled cheekily and said, "Hey! Third brother, I'm just reminding you, what kind of person are you and Li Pian! How can you see them like these villains. ”

"Don't underestimate me, I, Li Pian, am left and right, the little Taibao in the capital with all sides, who hasn't seen it?"

"I'm on good terms with them on the scene! We know in our hearts what to say to whom, this is what I am best at. Although I am a lowly official, I am also a well-known celebrity in the capital! ”

Li Yi smiled and said, "That's good, I think you're still very talented in this area." Now don't be idle, follow me to learn a few dishes, and make them for our parents when you go back, so you can talk about your filial piety! ”

That Li Pian was dancing and elated.

When I heard that I was going to let him learn to cook with him, he immediately said with a difficult face: "Third brother, I haven't been idle all day, I'm about to break my legs when I walk around, you just let me rest for a while!" ”

But seeing that Li Yi showed a non-negotiable expression, he had to reluctantly follow.

Ten dishes and one soup were quickly prepared, and Shao and Le also arrived in time when they smelled the fragrance.

Li Yi set up a table of eight immortals in the dining room of the east wing, and the eleven dishes with good color and flavor happened to be full of tables.

Li Yisu invited Shao Le and the two to sit down, and Li Pian and Lian Jun sat down to accompany the prime minister.

As soon as everyone entered the table, Li Pian said with a hippie smile: "Two adults, the poor wine and food are not respectful, hehe!" However, I also have a credit for this table! Don't forget me when you're happy! ”

Shao Tingjuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a joking smile: "You kid can brag, I don't know how many catties and taels you have?" As far as your three-legged cat craftsmanship is concerned, the master who can hold the brush upside down, and can also hold the spatula? ”

"Hey, hey! This is the dish on the table! It must have been carefully cooked by you like your sister-in-law, so don't lick your face and ask for credit. ”

Speaking of this, Li Pian was a little anxious, and hurriedly argued: "I said Gonggong Shao, you can't look down on people!" To be honest, this dish is really made by my third brother. ”

"However, I started with him, chopping vegetables and choosing vegetables, serving dishes and bowls, and carrying two dishes with me, so I have a little credit for it!"

Le Fan smiled and said, "In this way, Li Sigongzi is also indispensable!" Hehe! Shao Gong envoy, since we come, we will be safe, how about tasting Li Dashuai's craftsmanship? ”

"Oh! By the way, there is also Li Pian's craftsmanship, hehe! ”

Shao Tingjuan nodded slightly, stretched out his chopsticks, sandwiched some steamed sea bass, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, nodded and said, "Hmm!" I really didn't expect that the taste is really good, this craft is not ordinary! ”

"Hmmm! I've been in the palace for so many years, and I can say that I've tasted delicious food, and I'm afraid that what the imperial dining room makes is nothing more than that! ”

"Huh! If this delicious delicacy is really what Runzhi does, our Han has added another good story in the world! ”

Li Yi smiled humbly and said: "Shao Gong has won the award, I can do whatever I think of, but I put some effort into the seasoning, there is really no ingenuity at all!" ”

Shao Tingjuan sighed while eating: "Runzhi has been extremely smart since he was a child, and he looks decent in everything. I think back then, when you entered the palace at the age of seven to accompany the princes to study, I could see at the time that your intelligence was unstoppable, and the average prince was not a little bit worse. ”

"Later, when Your Majesty questioned the princes, you often had to answer many questions, and your words were appropriate and generous."

"Therefore, Your Majesty is especially fond of you, saying that you will become a great weapon in the future, and even has the idea of taking you as a righteous son."

"If it weren't for the fact that Your Majesty has too many princes, and the ministers have persuaded you, maybe you would be the prince of the opposite sex of our Han now! Ha ha! Ha ha! ”
