Before dawn, white began to get busy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The largest pig caught from the pigsty in the village, with a sharp knife, the white knife enters, the red knife comes out, the released pig blood is put up in a basin, and the big pig is washed with boiling water, and the ribs, pork knuckles, pork legs, and pork are cut and put away in the same way. On the other side, the chickens and ducks have been prepared, and the water tank is stocked with a few catties of river fish caught in the past few days, which will become the dishes for entertaining guests today.

In the Hou Mansion, Bai Qi was busy in the kitchen, and the cook was playing below, directing his subordinates to do other chores.

Large pieces of braised pork, stuffed pork intestines, golden taro button meat, fragrant roast duck, crispy and light white cut chicken, tempting sweet and sour fish...... When the sun was about to set in the afternoon, the dishes with all colors and aromas were served in pots by the people and brought to the open space in front of the village ancestral hall.

There is also a large shed in the open space, where the chef of Juxian Building is busy.

In the Hou Mansion, when a group of old men arrived, the subordinates also began to bring the same dishes, and everyone was moved by their index fingers.

"White boy, the dish is finished quickly, the old man and a few brothers only drank a bowl of white porridge this morning and at noon, and they came here today to eat enough!" Cheng Yanjin pulled his voice loudly, sat down boldly, picked up the chopsticks and threw a piece of buckle meat into his mouth.

Bai Qi washed up briefly, washed off the smell of oil smoke on his body, changed his clothes, walked out with a smile, and invited everyone to sit down.

Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Qiong, Wei Chi Jingde, Li Xiaogong, Li Daozong, Niu Jinda, Li Jing, Li Ji, Zhang Gongjin, these bigwigs in the army fell at the same table, and Cheng Biting Jin pulled the white chess over: "White boy, how can you do without food and wine!" The old man knows that Juxian Building is opened by your family, so quickly take out the signature wine "Drunken Fairy", otherwise the old man will not leave even if he finishes eating today! ”

Bai Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Cheng, you have to let go of the kid!" ”

Yu Chi Jingde bit a roast duck leg in his mouth, and said loudly: "Cheng Lao Pifu, don't bully my family's style!" There's a kind of heads-up! ”

"Oh, old black man, isn't it itching! Come, the old man will knock you down today, and then eat and drink! ”

"Oh, it looks like I'm just in time!" Li Shimin, dressed in civilian clothes, walked in from the front yard and said with a smile. The eldest grandson Wuji, Ben Ruhui, Li Gang, and Gao Shilian followed closely behind.

"See Your Majesty!" Immediately they saluted.

"Flat! I just heard someone fighting? Li Shimin asked with a smile, looking very excited.

Cheng Yanjin immediately stood up, pointed at Wei Chi Jingde and said, "Your Majesty came just in time, see how the old man crushes this black charcoal!" ”

"Oh, shameless old horseman, today my lieutenant Chi Jingde wants to smash your stinky face, see how you will meet people in the future!"

As soon as White looked at it, the terrible memories of the celebration banquet reappeared! He hurriedly asked people to remove the tables and chairs first, and then cleared out all the little girls in the next person, lest they have a psychological shadow and could not marry in the future, and he ran to the wine cellar to take out a batch of newly brewed wine.

As soon as Bai Qi took the wine back, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde ended the battle. Without saying a word, the two poured a large bowl of wine and swallowed it in one go.

Bai Qi looked at the two of them playfully, and his face suddenly turned red from his face to his neck, as if he had been burned by fire. Sample, do you think the wine I make is the kind of wine you usually drink at more than 10 degrees?

Cheng Biting Jin put down the bowl, gave a long hiccup, his eyes were shiny and shiny, as if he had seen gold, full of surprise, and laughed: "Damn, this wine is strong enough, refreshing enough, and comfortable enough!" ”

Bai Qi wiped his eyes, damn, he couldn't let go of Cheng Biting Gold, this is not scientific!

Over there, Wei Chi Jingde's eyes were red, and he didn't want to speak at all, so he ran to the side holding the wine jar and looked at the others defensively.

A group of old men talked and laughed, and occasionally exchanged hands at the bottom, which frightened the subordinates of the Hou Mansion to rearrange the tables and chairs, and after the meal was heated for a round, they came up again.

The level of cooking of white chess is too exquisite, for example, carving a flower or something, it is absolutely impossible to do it, but it is okay to be an ordinary restaurant. The frying and cooking of later generations are all the crystallization of thousands of years of Chinese cuisine, and they will surprise this group of ministers of the Tang Dynasty with a casual show or two - anyway, white chess is like this, as for why these guys don't praise themselves in public, it is estimated that they love face!

Wen generals and military generals, including Li Shimin, are full of food and oil, and the posture when picking up vegetables, Bai Qi suspects that if it weren't for Li Shimin sitting here, this group of guys would definitely be like leading troops to fight, and they would be happy!

Ten jars of spirits, with a degree of forty or fifty degrees, were all drunk by this group of old drunkards like drinking water, and even the half-silver-haired Li Gang drank like drinking boiled water. After drinking, they all said that they were not strong enough, and they wanted white to come to ten more altars. If it weren't for the fact that when White said that when he went back, he would have sent a few jars to everyone's house, and it is estimated that White would have been torn to pieces by this group of crazy guys!

After eating and drinking, a group of old people had nothing to do, put their legs on the table, and chatted while picking their teeth. As soon as White heard it, everyone said that it was a story about how they tore the enemy apart back then, how in broad daylight, one person, one horse, one gun, and seven in and seven out of the enemy's main camp.

Please, can you get down to business? You Gao Shilian has no power to restrain chickens, but you can still lift a thousand catties of boulders with one hand, and beat ten of them one by one? Is it really good to brag like this! Well, Li Shimin said that he fought with Wang Shichong, and was beaten by Wang Shichong bare-chested, and was seriously injured in his left arm, and finally pulled his bow and shot Wang Shichong to death.

"That, Your Majesty, the left arm is heavy, can you still hold the bow?" White asked weakly.

Li Shimin is unhappy, and everyone else is unhappy when they look at white chess! Didn't you see everyone chatting so happily, you Bai Fengqu sincerely came to dismantle the stage!

Bai Qi felt very hurt, and he was shot into a sieve by his gaze even if he just asked a question, so he hurriedly buried his head under the table, feeling that there was still a murderous gaze shooting at him, and finally he could only bite the bullet and say: "Uh, the boy is going to fetch tea and make tea for the elders!" ”

The wine and food were full, and a group of people were almost talking, and it was already the time for the willow tops on the moon. Bai asked people to pack up their things, invited Li Shimin to sit down in their hall, and then asked everyone about their physical condition.

Most of the people here, except for the eldest grandson Wuji, Ben Ruhui, Li Gang and other civil servants, are military generals who have fought for many years, and they have fallen into a body of problems, basically either rheumatism or lack of qi and blood, which has led to various sequelae.

"Your Majesty, uncles, the boy is not a professional doctor, so I can only give you some simple massage and dietary advice based on some health regimens that my father once taught me." Bai Qi said honestly that he originally planned to invite Sun Simiao, but because Sun Simiao went to Qinling to collect medicine, he had no choice but to give up.

Bai Qi first wrote out the dietary prescription for treating qi and blood deficiency in later generations, handed it to Zhuo Qiong and a group of people with symptoms of qi and blood deficiency, and then asked someone to put hot water, hot a wet towel, put it on Li Jing's knee, and then massage him.

"Hey, boy, the old man's legs are much more comfortable!" Li Jing said in surprise.

Bai Qi said to the others seriously: "Boy, there are massage techniques for the legs, back, shoulders, etc., you uncles can let people come to my house to learn, anyway, I have been grounded by His Majesty recently, I have nothing to do, I am going to open a massage training class, earn some extra money, and subsidize the family!" If you let people cooperate with acupuncture, the effect will be better! ”

Li Shimin slapped Bai Qi's head in amusement and scolded: "Bai Fengqu, I'm still here!" You're expressing your displeasure with me, aren't you? ”

Bai Qi smiled and shouted: "Your Majesty, you see that my family has a big business, and I have to raise so many people, and if I don't have Yulu, I will be ready to eat the northwest wind in a while!" ”

Li Shimin put his head on the soft sofa, squinted his eyes and said, "Boy, believe it or not, I will close the Juxian Tower tomorrow, so that you can really eat the northwest wind!" ”

"Your Majesty, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger!" White spoke very quietly and aggrieved.

Li Shimin's ears were very sharp, he opened his eyes, pointed at the white chess pieces with a smile, and said with disgust after a while: "Look at how my meridian marquis of the Tang Dynasty looks like a scoundrel!" I'm starting to regret it now! ”

Everyone laughed, the eldest grandson Wuji soaked his feet in the hot water, held his big belly, sat comfortably on the sofa and said: "Your Majesty, then you will be fined for another year!" ”

I'll go, this eldest grandson and old fox, although this Brother Lu can't look down on it now, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it's meat, don't bring such a trick! Seeing Li Shimin's disgusting look that they agreed with very much, Baiqi's heart was broken, this damn Tang feudalism!

"Okay, it's not easy for this kid, so I won't tease him!" Li Shimin finally found his conscience, and Bai Qi was so moved that he wanted to cry, and then His Majesty Taizong continued: "However, it is not right to share good things without taking them out!" Let's do it, Bai Fengqu, make a few sets of sofas like this, and send them to the palace the day after tomorrow, the queen is not very comfortable in the end, you have to do your filial piety! ”

How many sets? Day after tomorrow? Well, praising Li Shimin a second ago must have been that he didn't wake up, and the evil nature of feudalism really won't change!

Bai Qi was very embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, this sofa is filled with a lot of cloth and cotton, the fabric is easy to find, but cotton is hard to find!" ”

"Cotton? What is Cotton? ”

Bai Qi took out a ball of cotton from the house, Li Shimin took it in his hand, looked at it twice, and then handed it to Fang Xuanling next to him: "Xuanling, have you ever seen this kind of thing?" ”

Fang Xuanling took a closer look and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know. The cotton turned around in the hands of the bigwigs again, and finally Li Daozong touched his face and said uncertainly: "Your Majesty, the minister seems to have seen this thing somewhere." ”

"Oh, the old minister remembered it, it seems that when Goguryeo paid tribute, there was indeed such a thing!" Li Gang said suddenly.

Bai Qi explained: "Your Majesty, this cotton is mainly grown in Goguryeo, and can be used to make warm clothing, it is very light and many times better than silk fabrics!" ”

"And where did you get all this cotton?"

"Your Majesty, the minister was procured from a merchant from Goguryeo! This kind of thing is not worth much on the Goguryeo side. White said.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked, "I ask you, how is this kind of cotton woven clothing to keep out the cold?" ”

Bai Qi thought about it seriously and said with certainty: "Compared with my silk or linen clothes in the Tang Dynasty now, the effect of keeping out the cold is dozens of times stronger!" ”

The crowd listening to the audience couldn't help but gasp. Cheng Yanjin shouted: "Boy, can you withstand the cold over there in Tubo?" ”

"Uncle Cheng," Bai Qi turned around and explained to Cheng Yanjin, "If it is handled well, it can still be resisted when it is made into cotton clothes!" ”

There were playful expressions on everyone's faces, and Li Shimin sighed: "Don't worry, this meat has to be eaten bite by bite!" It seems that after going back, I will have to ask Goguryeo to pay more tribute and come over with some cotton! ”

Everyone smiled and bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise! ”
