Chapter 1 Traces of the Japanese People
In the past few days, Zhao Chen has somehow not been able to raise his appetite at all, Xu Yes, because of the hot weather, no matter how good the meal is in front of him, he didn't eat two bites, and he immediately lost his appetite, and the fat chef in the guilty Hou Mansion blamed himself vigorously, but he was afraid that his own craftsmanship had deteriorated and he didn't fit his mouth, and the Hou Ye hindered him from being an old man in the house, so it was hard to accuse!
Zhao Chen is too lazy to guess these thoughts of the fat chef, the reason why he has a bad appetite is completely because of his bad mood, it seems that it is already the season of July, but on the side of Goguryeo, there is no movement for a long time, whether it is Gao Jianwu or Yuangai Suwen, the silence surprised Zhao Chen, he has already lit the fire, if it can't be done in the end, then he should really go on a hunger strike.
In a bad mood, I'm idle anyway, so on a whim, I took Amu and a group of people 'Hulala' and went straight to Qinling, nominally to hunt, but in fact, I was angry with the 'aborigines' of Qinling, and it was also those 'aborigines' who were unlucky, and the good ones were chased all over the mountains by Zhao Chen and his gang.
After tossing for most of the day, there was a lot of trouble in Qinling, and everyone was exhausted, and finally caught a wild boar, and Zhao Chen, who was happy, was like he had just won a big battle, and came back with Amu and a group of people carrying the spoils, and the result was that since he slept last night, he slept until noon.
When he woke up, the backyard was unusually quiet, and he didn't see Qin Yuyan's figures, and even a few bear children who were noisy in the past were gone, causing Zhao Chen to lie on the bed and scream a few times uselessly, until he was sure that no one would take care of him, so he had to get up suddenly, put on a sweatshirt casually, and came to the relatively cool flower room.
"Master Hou, you're awake!" Just lay down in the flower room, was about to greet Zhang Lu, but heard the footsteps behind him, when he turned around, he saw Wu Mei walking with a plate full of watermelons, put it down in front of Zhao Chen, and smiled at the sleepy-eyed Zhao Chen: "The ladies are afraid of making noise to the Hou Ye, so they all went to the princess's mansion, if the Hou Ye has something, you can tell Xiao Wu to do it." ”
"It's fine!" Hearing Wu Mei say that Qin Yuyan went to the Princess's Mansion, Zhao Chen suddenly felt a little surprised, although the Princess's Mansion was next door to a wall, but Zhao Chen still felt that the huge Hou's Mansion was empty all of a sudden, this person was really a strange thing.
The watermelon is chilled in the morning, take a big bite hard, that is cold, down the throat, can instantly drive away the heat of the whole body, there is a cellar in the Hou Mansion, there is a lot of ice cubes placed below, although it is hot and sweaty outside, but the cellar is the same as the October day, the cold does not go down from the outside, the cold can choke people to breathe.
Wu Mei is a clear-minded person in the end, seeing where Zhao Chen ate the juice flowing, without Zhao Chen's greeting, he handed a towel and kneaded Zhao Chen's shoulders, for Wu Mei's these, Zhao Chen also accepted it calmly, thinking about the status of this little girl in history, and enjoying it is even more unique.
However, in fact, since the matter of wheat was decided, Wu Mei has been invisible, somewhat replacing the former position of wheat, except for Zhao Chen's bathing and changing clothes, the ordinary tea and pouring water, all of which have been taken over by Wu Mei, of course, Wu Mei is not working in vain, at least, Zhao Chen has acquiesced to the identity of Wu Mei's disciple!
"I'm afraid that you will enjoy it the most!" Half of the watermelon has not been eaten, I can hear the whining voice of Li Chengqian outside, when I looked up, I saw Li Chengqian with the sweat of his head, and he walked straight to the flower room with brisk steps, as soon as he entered the flower room, without waiting for Zhao Chen to greet him, he had already picked up a piece of watermelon from the plate in front of him, and ate it without caring about the image, and Wu Mei on the side was shocked, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that this was His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty in front of him.
"Eat a melon, and it will be a pleasure for you?" Zhao Chen had long been accustomed to Li Chengqian, and he was not surprised at all, looking at Li Chengqian's hot sweat, he had to take a towel from Wu Mei's hand, and handed it over while Li Chengqian was eating melons, and smiled helplessly: "If that's the case, then you can enjoy it too!" ”
"Cut, I didn't come to eat melons!" After eating a piece of watermelon three times and two times, Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, and then comfortably looked at Zhao Chen on the recliner lying down, wiped the sweat on his head, and raised his eyebrows at Zhao Chen, and said, "I heard that I went hunting yesterday?" ”
"It seems that you are not busy, and you still care about my hunting!" Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhao Chen couldn't help but be stunned, then smiled slightly, leaned on the recliner, and said lazily: "Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle, so I took Amu and them to hunt, you won't come here to eat!" ”
"Why not?" As soon as Li Chengqian heard this, he became a little indignant, threw the towel in his hand on the table, and said dissatisfiedly at Zhao Chen: "You are brisk, your father asked you to raise food and grass, but you actually explained this matter to Ma Zhou and me, and you tried to be idle!" ”
"What then?" When Zhao Chen heard Li Chengqian's words, he immediately stretched out his hands at Li Chengqian, and said with a smile: "It's impossible for me to go to Jianghuai and Lingnan in person!" ”
"It's useless for you to explain this to me!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Li Chengqian immediately waved his hand at Zhao Chen and said, "I came here today, but I didn't listen to your justification, if there are any good things, even if they are served, maybe I will forget about it as soon as I am happy!" ”
"You're just here to eat!" Zhao Chen was going to be laughed at by Li Chengqian, this product is probably really greedy, today I found a vacancy, and came to him to eat, but I had to put on a face of asking the teacher, but when I said that, Zhao Chen still got up and went to the kitchen to arrange.
Yesterday in the Qinling Mountains for a long time, I caught a wild boar, and when I came back, I gave Amu half of them half of it, and the remaining half of it, at this time it was still frozen in the cellar, and ordered the fat chef to take it out of the cellar, and arranged for the fat chef's apprentice to prepare barbecue tools, and Zhao Chen was ready to roast pork chops for Li Chengqian by himself.
"That's pretty much it!" As soon as Li Chengqian saw Zhao Chen doing it himself, even if the music blossomed, he calculated carefully, it had been almost a year, and he hadn't eaten the food made by Zhao Chen himself, and the people who were originally sitting there stood up all of a sudden, first surrounded the barbecue grill with his hands behind his back, and when the fat chef brought the marinated pork chops, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and got up himself.
The pork chops had already been cut by the fat chef, and had been marinated, and when they were put on the barbecue grill with a blue fire, they immediately made a 'zilala' sound, and the air was suddenly filled with a smell of meat, mixed with the smoke and fire, and in a moment, it was scattered in the entire Hou Mansion, provoking those princes and guards who followed Li Chengqian, swallowing saliva for a while.
Li Chengqian didn't like the taste of cumin, so Zhao Chen simply abandoned cumin, made honey with his own hands, and brushed the honey on the roasted pork chops, which were brushed with honey, and were roasted by charcoal, showing a golden appearance, and when they were roasted, they were wrapped in a layer of white sesame seeds, which immediately made people appetite.
"It's absolutely amazing!" Seeing that the fire had arrived, without waiting for Zhao Chen to greet him, Li Chengqian had already grabbed a piece of pork chop, opened his mouth and took a bite, the crispy skin, coupled with the tender pork, immediately attracted Li Chengqian's addiction.
"There's still good stuff here!" Eating barbecue in this weather, it is natural to have a matching drink, so Zhao Chen turned around and nodded at the fat chef, and the fat chef immediately went straight to the cellar with a comprehension.
"What kind of wine is this?" The wine barrel had already been frozen, and when the lid was opened, a white mist immediately rose from inside, and then an extraordinary aroma of wine permeated, which surprised Li Chengqian and immediately came forward, because this peculiar aroma of wine was something he had never been exposed to.
"You taste it." Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Zhao Chen was not in a hurry to explain, took out a glass cup, scooped a spoonful into it, and then handed it to Li Chengqian with a mysterious face.
In the transparent glass cup, there was half a cup of yellow liquid, with a layer of white foam on it, Li Chengqian took the cup from Zhao Chen's hand in surprise, and curiously leaned under his nose and sniffed it, the aroma of wine immediately intoxicated him, not as clear as white wine, without the mellow aroma of wine, but more than the two of them has an indescribable fragrance!
"Sure enough, it's a good thing!" First took a sip, put it on the tip of the tongue and savored it, and waited until the aroma of the wine permeated the entire taste buds, Li Chengqian raised his head and poured half a glass of wine down, feeling the cold wine down his throat, Li Chengqian suddenly burped happily, gave Zhao Chen a thumbs up from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't stop admiring.
This wine is naturally beer, and it is still a good beer, but Zhao Chen has never taken it out over the years, and he has always put it in the Hou Mansion to enjoy it alone, as for the reason, it is that Zhao Chen is too lazy to teach others the process of brewing beer, and he can't take care of business, how can he have leisure to brew wine, anyway, he has no shortage of beer to drink.
"Do you know that Silla sent an envoy to Chang'an?" Eating barbecue and drinking beer, Li Chengqian, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, immediately became the 'old iron' of later generations in Zhao Chen's eyes, but the words of this 'old iron' made Zhao Chen immediately cheer up.
During this time, he was paying attention to the movements of Goguryeo, and this Silla was on the edge of Goguryeo, and now, hearing Li Chengqian say that Silla sent envoys, Zhao Chen immediately asked: "What are Silla envoys doing here?" ”
"I ask my father to send troops to help Silla." Hearing Zhao Chen's inquiry, Li Chengqian's eyes suddenly looked directly at Zhao Chen, and said: "The envoy sent said that the Baekje people suddenly raised troops to attack, and it was menacing, and only my Tang Dynasty Wang Shi could resist it!" ”
There is nothing about Goguryeo, which makes Zhao Chen slightly disappointed, as for Baekje's invasion of Silla, or Silla's capture of Baekje, Zhao Chen is not surprised at all, these two fights are not a day or two, Li Er also sent someone to mediate before, but I didn't expect that it was only a long time later, and the two sides pinched again.
"Actually, that's not the point!" Li Chengqian may also have seen that Zhao Chen was a little lacking in interest in this matter, so he leaned closer to Zhao Chen and said meaningfully: "The important thing is that according to the envoys of Silla, they found the shadow of the Japanese in the army of Baekje!" ”
