Looking at these four old men, Li Xiao was silent, it was really too murderous for these four people.

But anyone who has read the history of the Tang Dynasty has no one who does not know these four. Cheng Biting Jin, not to mention the demon king of the mixed world in Romance, in the real history, he was also a hero of Lingyan Pavilion with great martial arts, and he lived a long time among these heroes.

Li Ji, also known as Xu Shiji, in the romance, that is Xu Maogong's old way, and the military advisor of Zhiduo and demons. In history, it was the god of war second only to Li Jing in the early Tang Dynasty, especially in the Gaozong Dynasty, Li Ji was a general.

As for Xue Rengui and Su Dingfang, they are also powerful characters in the romance, although Su Dingfang is a big bad guy in the romance, but in the real history, he is a bull who destroyed the Three Kingdoms and captured the three kings, Xue Rengui is also a ruthless person who killed 130,000 Tiele people in the Three Arrows Tianshan Mountain.

It can be said that the four people sitting in front of Li Xiao at this time have all destroyed the country in history. Cheng bit Jin to destroy Tuguhun, Li Ji to destroy the Turks, Su Dingfang to destroy Goguryeo, and Xue Rengui to destroy Tiele.

However, the four major killing gods came to Lanxi Lijiazhuang together, not because of how powerful Li Xiao was so powerful that the four big guys rushed to meet, in fact, it was just Cheng Biting Jin borrowing Li Xiao's place today to invite Li Ji, the big guy, to dinner, saying that it was to give Li Ji a penny, but in fact, it was to strengthen the relationship with Li Ji.

And Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui are both his lieutenants, and they also have to have a good relationship.

"The last time I drunk Xue Pifu, the burning knife was from the hand of this little friend, and even the whiter and sweeter frosting sugar of the royal family now is actually from his improved secret recipe, and this warm kang, whether it is very warm and comfortable to sit on, is also from the hand of this little friend. Mao Gong, I and you, although this little friend is young, but he has an excellent brain, he brought you here today, and there is a good thing for you to taste, that is, his exclusive cooking method, stir-frying. ”

Saying that, Cheng Yanjin said to Li Xiao very unceremoniously, "San Lang, the distinguished guest comes to the door, you can't deal with these four dishes and one soup, why do you have to get a few good dishes?" ”

Li Xiao smiled, "I don't know how many distinguished guests are coming, and I don't have any ingredients prepared at home." ”

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yanjin waved his hand, "I have already counted these, so when I came, I asked people to bring a lot of ingredients, fresh beef and mutton, chicken, duck and fish, and even deer tendon and bear's paw hump, which is enough for you." ”

Li Xiao listened to the meaning of his words, but he really regarded the Li family compound as a farmhouse for talking and entertaining, and smiled in his heart.

Even a few young children who accompanied him could only stand under the kang to accompany them, and there was no one sitting on the kang, which of these people was not a rookie of six or seven grades.

Well, he's really just a cook.

Li Xiao nodded, took his hand and left.

Cheng Yanjin asked people to bring a lot of ingredients from home, so many good things, not to mention cooking a table of dishes, even more than a few days of cooking.

After counting the ingredients, he quickly had a calculation in his heart, drew up a table of menus, and then called his family to help wash and chop vegetables and side dishes.

Mr. Zhao watched that Xue Wucheng and Wu both came out to help count the ingredients today, and was very curious about the four people sitting inside.

"Who are those?"

Li Xiao looked at the various spices and condiments sent by the Cheng family, and said with a smile, "Guess what." "The things sent by the Cheng family are very complete, and I don't know if it was arranged by Cheng Yanjin or arranged by his housekeeper, which is very thoughtful. For example, the best green salt, which is an excellent mineral salt, and even more finely processed bamboo salt.

Then, such as pepper, a lot of foreign spices such as gold were also delivered, such as dogwood, garlic, ginger, onions, fennel, star anise, cinnamon, grass and fruits, and even soy sauce, miso, plums, rice wine, vinegar, and so on.

Li Xiao's idea is really an unexpected gain.

Although his kitchen has been renovated, there are now new stoves, iron woks, stewpots, steamers, etc., but the condiments are still much worse.

Sometimes I want to make some lo-mei, but I lack spices.

Now it's okay, his kitchen is almost complete, and the ones sent by Lao Cheng are enough for him to use for half a year.

is worthy of being a dignified Lu Guogong, who is generous and generous.

"Looking at Xue Wulang's careful and polite appearance, isn't it his parent, the general Xue Zhonglang?"

Li Xiao nodded, "Well, General Xue is inside." ”

"And who are the other three?"

"They are all big names in Tongtian, one is the Prime Minister Li Maogong, the other is General Lu Guogong, and the other is General Su Zhonglang."

Who will Su Zhonglang be Mr. Zhao didn't expect it for a while, but he knew that the British Duke Li Maogong knew it, after all, this was a great figure who was in and out of the prime minister, and he also knew that Lu Guogong Cheng bit gold.

"Hey, why are these people coming to our house?"

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a meal and a chat with us, and it doesn't really have anything to do with us."

Having said that, Mr. Zhao was still excited. Li Ji, Cheng Biting Jin, Xue Rengui, none of them are amazing.

Even if they really just came here for a meal, as long as it spreads, then the Li family will have something to do with these people in the future, who dares to mess with the Li family easily?

Maybe the Li family will be able to borrow some light from these people in the future.

Li Xiao was busy in the back kitchen, and Li Ji and the four were chatting on the kang in the front hall.

"Don't say it, this stir-fry is really out of the ordinary, it tastes good." Li Ji was a little surprised and exclaimed at the dish he had just eaten.

"I'm used to stewing and roasting, and it's really good to eat this stir-fry. Especially with some soju, the more you eat, the more you eat. ”

Although Cheng Yanjin is old, his health is excellent, and he has never been taboo when eating, especially when he likes to drink two sips. Since he tasted Li Xiao's burning knife, he now feels tasteless of any wine he drinks, and he has to drink two taels of soju every day to enjoy it.

Li Ji just took a shallow sip, although this soju was enjoyable, it was too strong.

"Lao Cheng, you have to drink less in the future, Lao Xue only drank three taels that day, but he was drunk for a day and a night, and even drunk to run naked on the streets of Chang'an, so that he didn't dare to go out without a face."

Cheng Yanjin smiled, "I'm not Xue Lao Pifu, his amount of alcohol is really embarrassing." In fact, this soju is good for drinking, it can strengthen the body, I don't believe you will ask Li Sanlang later. ”

It happened that Li Xiao brought a plate of shredded chicken and cucumbers up.

"San Lang, come and tell the British public, can you still strengthen your body after drinking this soju?" Cheng bites the golden road.

Li Xiao put the shredded chicken and cucumber on the kang table, stood aside and said with a smile, "This soju is brewed from grain, which belongs to the essence of grain, and it is naturally beneficial for people to drink it, especially if it can activate the meridians, as long as it is drunk in moderation and not in excess, it is beneficial and harmless." ”

"Listen, I'll say it's good to drink this wine."

"In fact, soju can also be soaked in medicinal materials, and can also be soaked in poisonous snakes, different medicinal materials can have different effects after soaking in soju for a certain period of time, and can strengthen the body more, such as using deer antler velvet and clams to make soju, which can effectively treat cold waist and knees, lukewarm lower abdomen, impotence and coldness, and cold in the limbs."

"The use of angelica wine, cooked wine, longan wine, salvia wine, chicken blood vine wine, rehmannia wine, walnut wine, etc. can effectively treat heart palpitations, insomnia, paleness, dizziness, limb numbness, tongue and thin pulse."

"Rehmannia wine, wine, wolfberry wine and amphora wine can effectively treat symptoms such as weak body, blurred vision, irritability, insomnia, hot flashes, night sweats, constipation, red urine, thirst, red tongue and no lichen; Ginseng wine, ginseng qi wine, etc. can effectively treat physical fatigue, lack of energy, lazy speech, yellow face and thin muscles, reduced diet, weakness of limbs, surface deficiency and self-sweating and other diseases; Jiawei Bazhen Liquor and Shiquan Tonic Wine can effectively treat qi and blood deficiency, such as fatigue, lack of energy, malaise, palpitations, dizziness, dizziness, forgetfulness and insomnia. ”

·······

Li Xiao said a bunch of medicinal wine and its effects in one breath like reporting the name of the dish, and Li Ji and the others who listened to it were stunned.

"I can't imagine that this shochu can still be drunk like this?" Li Ji couldn't help but sigh.

And Cheng Yanjin said directly, "Do you have these medicinal wines you said?" ”

"I have a recipe here, but I haven't made wine yet, I don't hide a few, my father-in-law used to be a traveling doctor, and recently he was planning to open a medical hall on Lanxi Street, and then our medical hall will brew a variety of different medicinal wines, if a few people need it, I can make a special brew for a few people."

Soaking medicinal wine can be regarded as an idea that Li Xiao has thought of these days.

In these years, winemaking is still subject to many controls by the government, especially the imperial court prohibits private brewing at every turn, and even the liquor koji of winemaking is monopolized by the imperial court, and it has to be purchased at a high price from the government.

In addition, this also happens to be more in line with the current production capacity of the Li family.

"That perfect tonic wine is a good thing when it sounds, I'll order ten bottles of eight bottles first." Cheng Yanjin patted the kang table and rushed to order.

"Cheng Lao Guogong, medicinal wine can be divided into two kinds, one is nourishing and healthy, and it can also strengthen the body without disease. There is also a special medicinal wine for the treatment of diseases, which can treat the symptoms and have special medicinal effects. However, no matter what kind of medicinal wine it is, it should not be drunk casually like ordinary wine, and you must follow the doctor's instructions and not overdo it. ”

"I don't care so much, I'll order ten bottles of this perfect tonic wine first, as for how to drink it, you can tell me then." Cheng Yanjin said very boldly, "As for the money for medicine and wine, you don't have to worry, I won't drink your wine for nothing." ”
