Chapter Seventy-Three: Fangzi

"Liu Ji, be cautious!"

Feng Changqing saw that the face of the Son of Heaven was wrong, so he quickly got up and gave a deep salute.

"Your Majesty forgives me, this son has just arrived in the capital, the saddle horse is tired, his spirit is not high, and his words are incoherent, it is all the fault of the minister."

"Feng Qing, what are you doing, but you made a mistake the second time, sit back by yourself, punish yourself with a glass of wine, don't speak again, let him say it himself."

Although Li Longji said this with a smile on his face, his tone was unquestionable, Feng Changqing didn't dare to stand up again, honestly retreated to his seat, drank a glass of wine, and then looked at the young man with worried eyes.

"The minister is reluctant to do Huo Quai, because the minister is already sixteen, and he is about to turn seventeen years old, if it is another four or five years old, it will be the end of his life, isn't it a pity, the minister also plans to drive for His Majesty for decades."

Li Longji was stunned, and then he realized that something was wrong, Huo Quai's young man became famous, but he died early at the age of twenty-three, this metaphor may not be anything to others, and it is a little inappropriate to put it on Liu Ji, who was only sixteen years old at this time.

"Liu Ji said it well, you are not Huo Quai, you became famous earlier than him, your achievements are even worse, and you must be more brilliant and long-lasting, of course I am not Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, I conquered the Quartet, not to dethrone the army, let alone make the people miserable, my Tang Dynasty will make the country rich and the people strong, and go far ahead of the former Han Dynasty, which will have a merit of the Qing Dynasty."

"Colliers."

"The old slave is here."

"Of course, I am no exception to the rules I have set, if you say the wrong thing, you will punish yourself with a glass and pour wine."

Li Longji took the cup handed by Gao Lishi, drank it all, and pointed to Liu Ji and said.

"Shicai Feng Changqing said that he just entered the city, and he was pulled by you before he entered the house, most of the water was not touched, pour him a glass, he was born in the border army, there is no difference between wine and water, and then serve some food, just use it here."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, there is indeed some hunger in the belly of the minister."

When the wine and food were served, Liu Ji sat down cross-legged, grabbed the whole leg of lamb on the plate with one hand under the noses of everyone, and gnawed on such a large piece, eating with juice splashing, and drinking wine while eating, without any image at all.

His appearance reminded Li Longji of a person, and he couldn't help but exchange a look with Gao Lishi, obviously the latter also thought of it with him.

All the pieces of meat that were sent were specially arranged by Colliers, and the result was not what he expected.

Liu Ji was munching as if no one was around, and his mouth was still talking from time to time.

"This mutton, just the ordinary steaming method, too long to lose the umami, the meat is a little old, such a coarse person, it's okay, Your Majesty's food, must not be so coarse, it will hurt the stomach."

Gao Lishi immediately said: "This is what Your Majesty instructed you to do today, and it is specially set up for today's hospitality, and it is cooked in the army." ”

"No wonder, I said how did it taste so ripe." Liu Ji nodded: "It's just a pity that this is a good fat sheep." ”

"What do you say?" Gao Lishi said: "Is this method wrong? ”

"There is no problem with the method, there is a problem with the meat, this sheep was born in Shanglin Yuan, the skin is thin and the meat is delicious, it is used for charcoal grilling, the skin is peeled off layer by layer when the skin is browned, and some Western Regions Hu powder is scattered, the entrance is fresh and fragrant, the aftertaste is long, and it is the supreme delicacy."

"On the other hand, this method is used in the army, mostly the native sheep in the north, they are used to free-range in the field, the skin is rough and the meat is thick, it is not cooked finely, it is difficult to chew, and it is eaten in cold weather, and it has the effect of warming and replenishing, and it is also extremely useful."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was amazed, but they didn't expect that this young boy was not only outstanding in bravery, but also in terms of food.

Colliers smiled and said: "What you said is good, everyone used to like roasted things, but in recent years, the appetite is a little uncomfortable, and it is no longer good, and after cooking, as you said, the meat is too old, but there is no other way." ”

"The minister really has a way to keep His Majesty back in interest, and it won't hurt his spleen and stomach."

Liu Ji put down the leg of mutton that had eaten only a stick bone, picked up a piece of Hu cake on the side, wiped the grease stains on his hands with it, and then rolled it into a cylinder and chewed it in his mouth little by little.

Li Longji stared at his movements, with a surprised expression in his eyes, glanced at Gao Lishi, and found that he was the same.

"The minister's method is actually very simple, now it is winter, the fresh mutton is frozen, and then take the kind of planer used by the carpenter, the frozen hard mutton is planed down layer by layer, it is best to be as thin as cicada wings, take a copper pot Ding, add the above good silver dust charcoal in the hollow, fill the broth on both sides, accompanied by Western spices, peppers, millet and other spicy things, not swallow, just to dispel the cold, when the soup rolls, take the meat slices under it, wait for its color to change a little, you can take out and eat, such as the minister and other coarse people, wrapped in the saucer, The five flavors gather together, there is a different taste, Your Majesty does not have to be like this, but a little longer, you can also get its original taste, and it is delicious. ”

In the end, a piece of Hu cake was about to be eaten, and Liu Ji replied: "The minister is full, thank you for your majesty's food." ”

Li Longji glanced at the plate with only one stick bone chopped off, and was guided by the kind of food he said, and he was salivating and having a good appetite, and couldn't help laughing.

"It's a clever idea, but does it have a name?"

"The minister has also thought about it, it is a bit vulgar, called snowflake shabu-shabu, but I am afraid that it will not be able to enter His Majesty's eyes."

"A good snowflake shabu-shabu, vulgar is elegant, this name is very good, Gao Lishi, write it down."

Gao Lishi made a look, since someone came forward to clean up Liu Ji's food, when he found that even the pot of wine was drunk clean, he couldn't help but secretly surprised, this son is really unrestrained.

The color of appreciation in Li Longji's eyes is even worse, if the rhetoric can also be pointed, this sudden gift, I believe that even Gao Lishi will not know, because he is improvised, and this son's style is still calm and calm, acting in his true colors, some things cannot be hidden, he believes in his own judgment.

"Liu Ji, since you have offered a good recipe, I can't be stingy, let's say, what do you want me to reward you?"

"It's not easy to live in peace, and the minister wants to ask His Majesty to give him some property, so that the minister can buy a house."

Liu Ji once again refreshed everyone's cognition, he didn't even knock a knock, so he directly asked the Son of Heaven for money and bought a house!

"Oh? That's amazing. ”

Li Longji's smile did not decrease, but there was a shocking frost between his words.

"Extinguishing the Three Kingdoms, the property of dozens of cities, is not enough, in this Chang'an City, buy a mansion?"
