Chapter 69: Kitchen knives are not good
"Is the ancient knife sharp?"
In a word, it seems to be a question, but in fact it is full of arrogance, giving people a sense of domineering, but none of the many messengers dare to deal with it.
The reason why Matsudaira Ichiro is so confident is because of the forging method newly mastered by Fusang Country, the land of Fuso Country, and it is located overseas, which is little known, and the Fuso envoy is not looked down upon by other Fanbang vassal countries when he arrives in the Tang Dynasty. The only thing they can do is the newly mastered forging method, and when Li Ershou feasts the envoys of various countries together, revealing the prestige of the ancient sword will help to enhance the reputation of Fuso Kingdom, so even if the Hui envoy did not propose a plan than the sword Matsudaira Ichiro, he would have a plan earlier.
Li Er also disliked Matsudaira Ichiro's noisy approach, and it was obviously too much to ask such questions to the envoys of various countries in the main hall.
I don't know which of the second envoys whispered: "What is the knife that cuts us, the Datang Treasure Knife is the sharpest knife in the world." ”
Maybe he was unwilling, or maybe he also wanted to pat Li Er's ass by the way, but I have to say that his sycophant was really not very good, and Li Er's face was even more ugly.
At the beginning, Li Er did have the intention to try it with the Datang Chongmo knife and the ancient knife of Fusang Kingdom, but now he has no such thoughts, he knows the Datang Mo knife, although the most sophisticated Chongmo knife is stronger than the Hui Hui scimitar, but it can't be so easy to break several knives.
Li Er felt uncomfortable, and planned to casually praise Matsudaira Ichiro for a few words and gently expose the matter, but he didn't expect which envoy who was not long-eyed to be a big fart at this time.
This caught Li Er on the elevated road, if you don't compare the knife with Fusang, some people will think in their hearts that the knife of the Tang Dynasty is not as sharp as Fusang's knife, if it is a knife, Li Er has no bottom in his heart, and it is strange that his face can look good if he is in a dilemma.
Wang Xiang, who was sitting in the corner, called the palace maid standing aside and whispered a few words in her ear, the palace maid blinked her eyes suspiciously, and when she saw Wang Xiang nodding, she quietly retreated into the inner hall.
"Brother-in-law, what did you tell her?" Little Lori asked curiously.
Wang Xiang smiled lightly: "You'll know in a while." ”
Matsudaira Ichiro also saw Li Er's unhappiness, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "The Tang Dynasty is powerful all over the world, how dare the Fusang Ancient Sword compare with the Tang Dynasty Divine Soldiers, Matsudaira Ichiro is willing to admit defeat." Although he decided in his heart that Datang's knife could not compare to his ancient knife, he didn't want to really compete with Datang, it was not a good thing to anger Li Er, there was nothing wrong with taking the initiative to admit defeat at this time, it not only gave Li Er's step down but also did not damage the power of the ancient knife, but left others with a guess, is Datang's knife really better than Fusang's ancient knife? Why is Your Majesty reluctant to compete with the sword? Sometimes suspicion and speculation are the most powerful weapons, and this is exactly what Matsudaira Ichiro wants.
However, he underestimated Li Er's arrogance, in the past, with thousands of soldiers and horses, Li Er dared to fight against Dou Jiande's 100,000 elite soldiers, as the emperor of the strongest empire in the world, he did not allow others to have the slightest doubt about the Tang Dynasty, if it is not compared to the knife today, then it will inevitably make many envoys of Fanbang vassal countries suspicious of the Tang Dynasty, so at this time Li Er will definitely not retreat.
The Tang officials and generals sitting there were also aware of the seriousness of the matter, and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Matsudaira Ichiro sharply through his squinted eyes.
However, no one dares to guarantee that there is any blade that can compare to Matsudaira Ichiro's ancient sword, and with the power of the Tang Dynasty, they must win in one battle, so they don't dare to talk nonsense.
Although Cheng Biting Jin is a tendon, he now knows that he has overperformed, and he is extremely embarrassed with the ancient knife in his hand, and throws a reproachful look at Wei Chi Jingde.
Yu Chi Jingde and Cheng Yanjin have known each other for so many years, and they know what the other party is thinking with a glance at each other, Cheng Yanjin is blaming him for not being angry, Yu Chi Jingde really feels wronged, who would have thought that the sky-popping swords blown by the Fanbang vassal countries would be so unruly.
The atmosphere in the Lin De Hall was a little weird, Li Er did not speak with a calm face, Matsudaira Ichiro still bowed down, everyone stopped their chopsticks and was silent, the entire Lin De Hall only heard the sound of the hot pot rolling, and the Fanbang envoy who had just spoken out finally realized that he had done something stupid.
At that moment, a cook came out of the inner sanctum, pushing a cart, his legs still trembling, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to him. Li Er frowned, who would dare to let the cook serve the food without his instructions at this time?
However, at this time, Li Er was not good at drinking and retiring from the cook, so he had to see what he was doing.
The cook trembled all the way to push the cart to the middle, lifted the lid on it, and inside was a whole roasted beef leg, much thicker than the usual beef leg, less than three years old, and there was still blood on the beef leg.
Li Er's brows furrowed even tighter, Datang forbade eating cultivated cattle, although he didn't remember what dishes were available for the birthday banquet, but there would definitely be no roasted beef shank, besides, this beef leg was not roasted for three years, so it was obviously not suitable for consumption.
"This ...... This is the roast that Mr. Wang asked me to prepare for you...... Grilled beef shank. ”
Mr. Wang? Prince New? Li Er was about to scold the cook, and when he heard this, he immediately suppressed his anger, looked around the Lin De Palace, and found Wang Xiang in the corner.
When Wang Xiang saw Li Er looking over, he nodded meaningfully and smiled slightly, Li Er had doubts but did not stop the cook's next move.
Being stared at by so many people, the cook was so nervous that he even trembled with the hand holding the knife, and he couldn't cut the beef leg a few times and almost cut his own hand, Cheng Biting Jin's anxious temper saw a burst of anger, and stepped forward to push away the cook and snatch the kitchen knife in his hand and shouted: "It's so hard to cut a beef leg, dodge, I'll come to the old Cheng." ”
Burst!
The corbel was cut in half by Cheng Biting Jin, and the generals such as Qin Qiong and Li Xiaogong, who were sitting below, suddenly lit up.
"You can't figure out how to be a cook with such a simple thing." Cheng Biting Jin scolded and scolded, cutting the corbel into small pieces.
After chopping, he asked the cook, "It's not baked, how can I eat it?" ”
The cook was frightened by Cheng Biting Jin's fierce and vicious appearance, and his words couldn't be said smoothly: "Yes, yes, it's Mr. Wang, let ......." ”
Matsudaira Ichiro looked at Cheng Biting Jin and the cook's gags, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, he thought that Li Er was planning to use this method to fool the knife over the matter.
"Bite the gold!"
Qin Qiong below shouted softly: "The Fusang envoy is still waiting to compare the knife, what are you doing!" ”
"Than a knife?" Cheng Yanjin scratched his head.
Matsudaira Ichiro pretended to be frightened and said: "How dare the Fusang Ancient Sword compete with the Tang Dynasty Divine Soldiers." That contrived appearance made the Tang officials sitting gritted their teeth.
Qin Qiong smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty said that the sword competition is only for fun, so naturally there is no need to use the Tang Dynasty Divine Weapon." ”
"Your Majesty, it's better to let the kitchen knife in your hand compare with the ancient knife of Fusang Kingdom."
At this time, Cheng Yanjin finally reacted, and after a closer look, the kitchen knife in his hand was not the kitchen knife in Wang Xiang's mansion, and he shouted excitedly: "What is the ancient knife of Laoshizi, it is enough to use a kitchen knife." ”
Li Er originally listened to Qin Qiong's suggestion and was still a little puzzled, but at this time, seeing Cheng Yanjin's reaction, he knew that there must be something strange in it, and glanced at Wang Xiang in the corner again, and saw that he had already gone too far by himself, and snorted dissatisfiedly.
"In that case, bite the gold, you can use the kitchen knife and Matsudaira Ichiro's ancient knife to compare." Li Er believed that Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin would definitely give him an explanation.
Matsudaira Ichiro didn't expect Li Er to really agree to use a kitchen knife to compete with Fuso's ancient knife, and he immediately felt greatly insulted.
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ......"
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Biting Jin threw the ancient knife at Wei Chi Jingde and shouted: "Take the knife!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Wei Chi Jingde took the ancient knife and swung it out violently at the kitchen knife in Cheng Yanjin's hand.
"Ding!"
In just one round, the ancient knife with a brilliant record was broken in two!
The words that Matsudaira Ichiro was about to say were forced back, and a gleam suddenly burst out in Li Er's eyes!
Cheng Biting Jin was stunned for a moment and said triumphantly to the stunned Matsudaira Ichiro: "Is the kitchen knife sharp!" ”
PS: Some book friends proposed that the knife was a knife that only existed in the Ming Dynasty, and it is indeed the case (embarrassment), I will change the knife to an ancient knife, the plot needs it, I hope you don't mind the details too much~~ By the way, I ask for votes to support, thank you for correcting the book, thank you for your support~~
