In the first year of Dazhong, in March, Taiji Palace, West Inner Garden, here is a garden, basically a forbidden area, which is attached to the imperial palace. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 There are three such areas in Chang'an, namely the East Inner Garden in the Daming Palace, and the Inner Garden on the east side of the Daming Palace.

Today, it's very lively, with lots of people. Next to a stream that flows from Daming Palace, there are many tables with many exquisite snacks on them. There are traditional dim sums, such as the "small tenjo" made with deer, chicken, and rice grits.

Pig, beef, sheep, bear, deer five kinds of meat finely cut into the "five life plate". There is "Guifei Red", a refined flavored red pastry. Sweet snow, with honey slow fire to burn too ordinary noodles, white as snow, sweet as honey. It is a soufflé carved flower called Gyokuro ball.

In addition to these traditional Tang-style dim sum, there are many Western-style dim sum carefully concocted by Li Chen, carefully prepared by the imperial chef of the imperial court, all kinds of bread, sandwiched with cream and soufflé, and some with jam, which are smooth and delicious to eat, and are also very popular.

The people brought each plate with all kinds of snacks in it, and there were several independent tents, in which tables and chairs were placed for people to rest and eat, and there were also in the open air, without shelter. There were constantly palace maids and eunuchs, shuttling among them, taking away leftover food and empty plates. Or serve drinks like fruit juice and fruit wine.

It's a pretty new way, and I can try to do it in the future. ''Yes, it's very convenient and casual. ''I heard that this is called a Qin-style banquet. ''Qin style? Passed down from the Qin Dynasty? ''No, it's from the Great Qin Banquet method. I've heard that people there do it this way. In a curtain, several people put a lot of snacks and drinks on the table, and they are talking about this new way of feasting. A man pretended to be well-informed, but it was immediately debunked, saying that it was written in the Suncheon newspaper.

'We, the emperor, have a lot of fun to say. Some people seemed to admire, but in fact they said sarcastically, "Yes, my daughter has a full moon wine, and she can do it like this, and I don't know how much it will cost." ''Hmph, since ascending the throne, there haven't been many good things, this eating, drinking, and having fun is very clear, and this money is.... ''Prudently, don't forget what kind of place this is.'' ", said a man who looked older.

Today is the full moon of Li Chen's daughter, and Li Chen entertains hundreds of officials and their families in the west inner courtyard in accordance with the Western-style buffet method. Of course, now you have to say that it is Daqin style, otherwise you say Western-style buffet, who knows where it is.

However, not all of the people who came were the dependents of hundreds of officials, and Li Chen sold a lot of tickets through Fu Bo as usual. Then Fu Bo also gave it to **** Zhen as usual, and asked him to open his eyes and close his eyes. So a lot of people came in.

Li Chen didn't hear those words just now, he was too busy to take care of them. But even if you hear it, you don't care. He had already prepared for it. In his name, he set up a project to collect a lot of taxes, and added a lot of taxes to the tax system that Dezong had once opened, which made people angry and complained.

Like the shelf tax, bamboo and wood tax, carriage and horse tax, and the strange tax, the people complained, and the merchants were also miserable. The so-called tax is that if you have income, you have to pay taxes, whether it is gifts, sales, or sales. Fifty percent is charged per jar, which is equivalent to five percent. You say, "I'll barter and see how you take it."

Don't think it's easy to dodge, you have to convert the traded items to the market price and hand them over. Don't pay? If you catch it, you will be punished.

If you are caught concealing 100 yuan, you will be given 60 rods and a fine of 2 times. Then if someone reports it, the whistleblower can get ten times. Kindness? You said that this is very easy to earn, but I deliberately stole a hundred dollars, found someone to report it, and was roded sixty

, the penalty is two, but you can earn ten times.

Would think so... Li Chen can only say that it is not that you are too pure, but that this world is too evil. That is to say, if you leak 100 yuan, and you are caught or reported, you will be fined 120 times more than 120 yuan, 12,000 yuan. You said that this is going to be fatal, so that people don't hate it.

All this money was levied for Li Chen? Although he recruited a lot of Taoist priests, offered them delicious food and drink, and asked them to write scriptures, and then he also found a lot of horns and polo players, and spent a lot of money every day.

But in reality, there are not so many. Just by mastering the customs, the annual market tax can collect millions of yuan, which is enough to meet all kinds of expenses, not counting the output of various imperial villages. So it's boring, don't ask. However, as mentioned earlier, Li Chen has been prepared for a long time, anyway, when the time comes, if you eat it, you will spit it out to me with interest. If it was the other way around, Li Chen would have lost. That's not much to say.

'Here, baby, eat this. Li Chen is busy now. In his hand he held a white, creamy yellow cube.

He took the 1~2 kg cube, bit off a piece, chewed it carefully, spit it into the spoon, and fed it to the baby in his arms. The baby eats with a smile and a lot of joy.

This white and creamy yellow cube is called quiche, goat's quiche. It's very fine and delicious. After processing, the fishy smell of goat milk was removed, and Li Chen chose this kind of milk cake to feed the baby. While eating, he coaxed her to call her daddy. Of course, a one-month-old baby will call his father a monster reincarnation, so he just has fun.

By the way, if you feed your baby chewed food, will anyone think it's too unhygienic? Actually, it's the opposite. Many young people are not used to seeing the elderly chewing food and feeding it to their children, thinking that it is unhygienic and will transmit diseases to babies. In fact, it's the opposite.

Li Chen read a report saying that this will help adults and pass on some antibodies to children, which will help increase the baby's resistance. It is ironic that in our view, the idea that the elderly are not right, but it is good for the health of the baby. Therefore, we must not underestimate the wisdom of the elderly, or the wisdom of the ancestors.

Quiche is also considered the wisdom of the ancestors, which is a kind of dim sum made by boiling fresh goat's milk, and after coagulation, it is made by pressing out the water and can be stored for a long time. If you want to use him as a staple food, maybe you can.

There is a record in the "Food Classic" about how to collect quiches: "Take quiches and put them at the bottom of a salt urn." No matter the date. Wash and steam where you go. Use. as new". The collection of quiches is relatively dry, and it is steamed quickly in a single cage without losing its unique aroma.

It's not a rare snack, but it's quite valuable. Ordinary people can't afford to eat, even if animal husbandry is more developed in later generations, goat milk is still quite expensive. What's more, eating this requires a special cage that comes and goes to steam. Where would the average person spend this money.

This kind of quiche should be passed from the nomads, of course, they don't particularly go to steam, but just keeping it for a long time is a big advantage, and the taste can be ignored.

'Saint, the game is almost over. When Li Chen was feeding the child and was happy, a eunuch came to pray. Li Chen got up, "Baby, let's go watch the game, do you like football games?" The child didn't know whether she understood or didn't understand, anyway, she smiled brightly, and Li Chen thought she understood.

'Good boy, in the future, you will be the greatest football player in Datang.' Li Chen happily lifted the child up, making her even happier. , 'You are a person, how can you let the girl's family, what kind of football player can you be, and you are also the greatest football player in the Tang Dynasty.' ’

'What does it matter, who says women can't be football players. Now there are women stepping up. Holding the child, while walking, Li Chen retorted Xiaohong's words, "What's more, he is my daughter." I want her to grow up to be able to do whatever she likes. Baby, don't you say yes? ’

'Mother, when I was a child, did you hug me like this? Li Chen hugged his daughter and made love, his son couldn't stand it anymore, so he took her mother's hand and asked, Chao didn't know how to answer, tell the truth? It doesn't seem like it's good to tell lies.

Of course there is, but you are so young, you don't remember. Li Chen didn't look back and said, "At that time, you were as young as your sister, and your lord also took you around all day long." ''Oh. Li Yan Hall was happy when he said this, in fact, but it was good to confirm that the master also loved him.

Now that you're older, you're an older brother, and you have to take care of your younger sister. ''Okay', Li Kai happily responded. Chao smiled comfortingly, in fact, the original Li Chen, of course, did not walk around with his son as he said, and it would be good to come over to visit once a day.

Those words just now are all deceiving children, and they are white lies, otherwise you have to tell the truth, after you were born, your father actually didn't pay much attention to you? Compared with the fact that he is now carrying his daughter everywhere all day long, he also holds a special full moon for his daughter, has a feast, and holds a football match. Even adults will rush to the loss, let alone children.

As they spoke, they arrived at the playing field today. It is located in the north of the Taiji Palace, past the West Inner Garden, and the court in front of the Hanguang Palace.

As I said before, there are several courts for polo matches, the entire Taiji Palace plus the Daming Palace. This is just one of them. Then Li Chen held a football match here, the first Datang football match.

Since last year, after Li Chen ascended the throne, he began to promote sports in the Shence Army, and now it is a bit of a success. Sure enough, this campaign attracted many sergeants from the Shence Army to participate. And then, not surprisingly, they were taught crooked by those bowers.

Then Xiaohu did not exceed Li Chen's expectations, and brought the football game back to its proper appearance. They used the correct way they learned from Li Chen to slaughter other teams, so that they could slowly abandon the "misdirection" of Keju and start to play real football.

Then, the football game started with the Zuo Shence army and slowly spread to other armies in the Tang Dynasty. This kind of sport, which only needs a large enough field and a ball bow, is fun and convenient, and is very popular.

Several teams that played well were designated as promotion teams, and went to other military centers to demonstrate how to play football, and held many exhibition matches. Xiaohu is the leader of a few teams, and it has become a bit of a new generation of Datang football stars. Among the guards of the Daming Palace, the fame has increased.

In addition to exhibition matches, the main thing is the referee. Several squads, after the exhibition game, temporarily stationed in other armies, right Shence, left and right Yulin and Longwu army have teams stationed, on the one hand, to guide, on the other hand, to be a referee, but also to train referees. Although the rules of football are simple, they also need to be judged.

At present, it is relatively easy for football referees to deal with it. The more complicated thing is the offside rule. Anything else you can't pull people with your hands, you can't touch the ball with your hands. It is also forbidden to hit people, only to make a limited impact on the ball carrier, etc. The other is free throws, judging whether the ball goes in, judging whether the ball is out of bounds, and so on. All other rules need to be improved.

However, simple or simple, too complicated to remember. And it's simple, so you can train the referees. Otherwise, you have to be illiterate to memorize a bunch of referee rules, Li Chen feels that this is a great challenge.

Finally, after more than half a year of training, left and right Shence, Longwu and Yulin, and set up six teams with military names. Six teams up. You can hold a small soccer game.

Therefore, after the birth of his daughter, Li Chen ordered the preliminaries. First of all, each army should send a team to participate in the competition on behalf of each army. Then there will be a small preliminary round, and the six teams will be divided into two groups, left and right, and then the top two teams in each group will participate in the finals.

These games have set off a lot of enthusiasm in the palace, and every time a game is held, in addition to the responsibilities, the rest of the people will come to watch.

The audience is not limited to the palace insiders, eunuchs, palace maids, other forbidden soldiers, guards, and even hundreds of officials will come to the audience. Through their mouths, the reputation of the football game was promoted.

has the reputation of hundreds of officials, plus Li Chen's promotion. In Chang'an, football became famous. After the start, of course, it is to take the opportunity to promote. Today, under the pretext of his daughter's full moon, he held a lively football match for the whole people, and it was held for four days.

There will be two matches every other day, with four teams playing each other. In the first three games, two winning teams will be decided for the first and second places, and two losing teams will compete for the third and fourth places. The fourth game is the battle for the championship and the bronze medal.

And because it is going to be fully promoted, the competition from today will start selling tickets to the outside world. Tickets sold today are purely football match tickets, and the picnic is an extra treat. Therefore, compared to the last hunt, the ticket price is much lower, and there is no guarantee that you can see the holy driver. That's why there will be more other idlers.

Soon, after Li Chen entered the venue, the other audience gave Li Chen a forked hand salute, and Li Chen waved his hand to the Quartet, signaling that he would be exempted. If there is anything special about this stadium today, it is that the stadium can accommodate more spectators.

Li Chen has long disliked it, and the scale of the stadium was too small in the past. The capacity is too small. Therefore, the instructions were improved, and the platform was erected around the same as the original spectator seats, so that the game could be seen from all sides, and the number of spectators was several times larger.

As Li Chen took his seat, the gongs and drums sounded, and the first Datang National Football Tournament officially opened. On the court, the ceremony shouted loudly. (To be continued.) )
