Liu Yuze looked at the big table of people, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Aiqing, I am here to test your level of cooking, although it is said that the gentleman is far from cooking, but I will give you the quality promise, I have to check your cooking level, if the level is not good, the quality will not suffer if you follow you! When the time comes, I'll prepare a few imperial kitchens as a dowry......"

The emperor is thinking about ...... "Is Nima's test enough to bring so many people?"

"These are all judges, and only when they are satisfied will they pass......"

"Obey the Order......"

Half an hour later.

Looking at the table of dishes in front of him, Li Shimin was a little dumbfounded.

"Aiqing, why haven't I seen any of these dishes?"

Nonsense! You've seen it!! These are Lao Tzu's favorite dishes in later generations, okay!! Is it easy for Lao Tzu to get these ingredients, now it's okay, let you all Huo Huo!! I don't know when Lao Tzu will prepare all these materials next time!!

"Your Majesty, this is fried bamboo shoots with shredded pork, this is braised pork, this is braised pig's trotters, this is lamb skewers, this is sour and hot shredded potatoes......"

"Aiqing, is this the potato grown in Jingyang County?"

"Yes, Your Majesty......"

"This potato is so delicious!!" Li Shimin took a bite and praised it! "I once brought back a few potatoes and asked the chef to cook them for me, and they didn't taste very good, but they were very filling...... I didn't expect potatoes to have such a method, and they are quite delicious to make...... What is it? ”

"It's hot and sour cabbage...... This is the ...... of flavored eggplant," Liu Yuze introduced one by one.

"Okay, don't be restrained, let's taste this dish made by Liu Aiqing together, I believe that like me, everyone must have never eaten such a dish!" The widow is looking forward to it!! ”

"Well, this bamboo shoot is delicious!! Well, this pig's trotter is really fragrant!! Liu Aiqing, is this made of pork? ”

"Yes......"

"I didn't expect this pork to be so delicious!! This braised pork is your Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for everyone, right? Widow taste ......"

"Wow!! Delicious!! Liu Aiqing, you don't do the imperial kitchen, it's really a condescension!! ”

Wipe! Is it good for me to go to the imperial kitchen!! What about the festival!!

――――

On December 20 of the first year of Zhenguan, Wan Dynasty came to congratulate.

This time, the scale of the envoys from various countries was extremely large, and Liu Yuze secretly counted them, including Tubo, Goryeo, Baekje, Silla, Wa, Niboro, Gaochang, Dashi, and some other countries that he had not heard of in his previous life or in his future life, all rushed to congratulate Li Shimin. Because Li Shimin's means of succeeding to the throne were not very glorious, and the Turks were entering the country on a large scale at that time, there was no country to congratulate them at that time, so Li Shimin attached great importance to this envoy tour, although the treasury was not very full, Li Shimin still rewarded the envoys of various countries.

In the memory of Liu Yuze's later generations. It seems that the Japanese envoy came to China several years later, but he didn't expect his arrival to make all this happen in advance. However, the Japanese envoy's request was the same as that of later generations, that is, he did not want Li Shimin's gold and silver rewards, as long as the books and craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was about to give him a big hand when he was about to give him a big hand, when he observed that Liu Yuze gave him a look, his eyebrows turned, and he only rewarded the Japanese envoy with some gold, silver, jewelry, and silk and satin.

After Li Shimin accepted the congratulations of the envoys from various countries, he entered the process of the feast. After eating the food cooked by Liu Yuze, Li Shimin directly handed over this task to Liu Yuze, which made the head of the imperial dining room full of grievances, but after seeing Liu Yuze's methods, the head manager was deeply impressed by Liu Yuze.

"It's ...... Kimchi Smecta!! Thank you to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty for allowing me to eat kimchi Smecta in Chang'an!! Wow!! Pure Korean taste!! After the envoy of Goryeo saw the plate of pickled cabbage in front of him, he bowed and thanked Li Shimin with excitement! made Li Shimin look inexplicable, are you Goryeo so poor? Can you get excited to eat a bite of Chinese cabbage like this??

"Yo West!! Rice balls!! The envoys of the Wa Kingdom expressed their heartfelt thanks to the great Tang Emperor! Let me still eat the delicious food of my hometown in Datang! Thank you!! The envoys of Japan (now called Wakoku, in 645 AD, that is, more than ten years later, Emperor Kotoku succeeded to the throne, and then unified the country and renamed the country Japan) also thanked Li Shimin excitedly.

Gotcha, it's a poorer one! Just seeing the rice makes me excited!! Li Shimin said with contempt in his heart.

After the envoy retreated, Li Shimin convened a temporary meeting of his ministers, probably Li Shimin still can't forget the shame of the Turks, everyone came to congratulate me, and you Turks didn't send envoys to congratulate me, where did I put my face! Now the Turks are freezing cold, countless livestock have frozen to death, and internal contradictions are continuous, and it seems that this is the best period for the Turkic conquest.

"Your Majesty, now that the Turks have encountered the most serious cold weather in history, the Turkic locals have frozen to death countless times, and my Tang soldiers can't adapt to such weather, and it is not a good choice to attack in such weather!" Li Ji persuaded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, now the Turks have not invaded our Tang border, and we have taken the initiative to send troops, isn't this treacherous and costly? This is not the work of the righteous division! The eldest grandson Wuji also persuaded.

Seeing that the ministers were all opposed to sending troops, Li Shimin also decided not to send troops for the time being. But Liu Yuze had a hunch that the Turks were a thorn in Li Shimin's eyes, and Li Shimin would pull them out quickly. From the current point of view, it is almost a sure thing to send troops next year, is it possible that the Turks will be destroyed two years earlier?
