This royal night banquet is roughly divided into three parts, wine banquet, poetry appreciation, and theater watching.

It's quite interesting, Li San is a famous musician, there must be a Liyuan opera at the dinner, and everyone who came to the dinner was so happy, the emperor was happy, and the ministers were naturally comfortable.

At this time, the wine and food have been served one after another, and everyone is curious that most of these dishes are obviously novelties that they have never seen, and the color of these dishes is excellent, and the aroma is overflowing, just by looking at it, there is a desire to eat it.

The emperor hasn't moved the chopsticks yet, and everyone can only wait, occasionally chatting with the people sitting around, the people here are some dignitaries, the delicacies of the mountains and the sea are tired of eating crookedly, and now these dishes that have not been seen are interested, since this imperial chef dares to make such a dish in front of the imperial banquet, it must be delicious.

Li Shuang'er has a strange atmosphere at this table, and after the constant bickering, there is a slightly embarrassing silence, these royal sisters have always been incompatible, when they were children, they were divided into gangs and factions, standing in their respective camps, even if they are relatives, feelings abound.

At this time, the dishes are almost ready, and all the princesses and horses are discussing the quality of this dish, and everyone has never seen it, so they are talking about it. In fact, they all want to find a staircase to go down, after all, this is not a family banquet, and it will damage the reputation of the royal family, and it is not good to make too much trouble.

Li Shuang'er was not in the mood to look at this dish, the horse covered her stomach and ran out for a while and didn't come back, Zi'er was also gone, so she guessed in her heart, she was already angry in her heart, so she didn't do this, do you want me to go alone, do you want me to go alone?

It's too unpleasant, the more I think about it, the more angry I become, this person is too unruly, tonight makes her so embarrassed, she has an urge to leave the table and go home to sleep.

Of course, thinking about it like this, Li Shuang'er is generally knowledgeable, so she watched the sisters chatter and say that this dish is good, and that dish is delicious, but she is very annoyed in her heart.

At this time, it is the meal, the princesses have the posture of moving chopsticks, obviously a little hungry, when people are hungry, the standard of the meal will drop by half, and everything they eat feels very fragrant, let alone look at these delicious foods in front of them.

"It turns out that the name of the dish is written here, well, this dish is called, sweet and sour pork ribs." A princess saw the small card at the bottom of the plate and picked it up and read it.

"Well, this dish is called braised pork trotters. It smells good, but the meat is too ordinary. ”

Although the name is novel, but this meat is too child's play for the royal family, these princesses can eat those mountain delicacies, what steamed goose paws, steamed bear paws, steamed deer antlers, who eats these, because of this name to lower expectations for the dish, but they are speculating about this kind of imperial banquet, why choose such ingredients?

Emperor Li San has the most dishes on this table, and the fastest, Tian Yuma saw these dishes is wide-eyed, after eating food for so many years, he really has never seen such dishes, Princess Yuzhen next to him just returned to Beijing, and thought that the palace had a new imperial kitchen, but even if the imperial kitchen was changed, it was impossible to change all the practices of this dish.

Looking at everyone's surprised appearance, Li San was quite satisfied, so he picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the braised pork ribs, and chewed it slowly.

Li Sanzhi called the imperial chef of the East Palace to the dinner to cook, because when Gao Lishi said that when he heard it to Li San, he personally ordered the imperial chef to use the beginner's skills to make it for him to taste, and the taste was still very good, so he came up with the idea of using him to cook at this night banquet.

In this case, Li San really wants to gild this horse. Since Li San married Li Shuang'er to Xu Chen, the outside world's doubts about this concubine have come and gone, because there were too many powerful people who proposed to the emperor before, and it was difficult for them to accept that Li San was unwilling to promise their marriage even if he asked the princess of the country and the city to marry a martial champion with no background, so the farce caused by Li Shuang'er at the beginning caused a big joke.

Even if Li Shuang'er is sensible, she will be stubborn in the face of her lifelong happiness, so the contradiction in the princess's mansion must be resolved, Li San wants to save the image of his own reputation and prove that he is right, this concubine must be more prominent.

Although this colt has made poems that have made famous poems in the capital before, but it is only widely spread in the ordinary class, although it is also circulated in the upper class, but most of them no longer know who the author is, to put it bluntly, it is not yet famous in the elite market, and the more versatile the colt is, the more face-saving he is. Li San felt that this colt also had some business acumen, but these things could not be put on the table after all.

didn't want to give the horse an official position, Li San was a little determined. And if you want to put gold on the horse, you have to take it step by step, and the matter of the horse teaching the imperial chef to cook is only circulated in the palace, and there are still very few people who know about it. Tonight's night banquet is to give everyone present an unexpected test, so that this colt can reappear in the eyes of the upper class, the more surprised they are, the happier Li Sancai becomes.

Everyone present looked at Li San's reaction, although the ingredients of this dish were ordinary, but the workmanship was obviously exquisite, Li San chewed for a while before he smiled and said: "It melts in your mouth." ”

Only then did he signal everyone to stop watching and move the chopsticks, and a eunuch next to him saw the emperor move the chopsticks, so he screamed: "Feast!" ”

Everyone in the whole square finally picked up the chopsticks and officially started eating, and the expressions of everyone were almost exactly the same at this first mouthful.

You can see that everyone's facial muscles are tightened, their brows are furrowed, their pupils are slightly open, and their eyes are staring, which is obviously unexpected.

Tian Juma is holding a pig's trotter at this moment and gnawing it, not that these royal people have never seen the world, just a few dishes make these nobles who are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas stare at each other, but this taste makes the eyes of people who are used to cooking can't help but light up, and it is indeed very different.

There must be a big difference between cooking and boiling, and it is no wonder that these people have reacted so much when they taste this for the first time, and Tian Juma asked, "This dish?" Is it made by the Imperial Chef? ”

This sentence is not at all level, didn't the imperial chef do it, did you do it? Li San saw that this brother-in-law was usually very clever, but now he didn't ask the point, but he was a little anxious.

"This dish is indeed made by the imperial chef, and this cooking skill is taught by the little horse." It was Yang Yuhuan who spoke.

Yang Yuhuan hasn't spoken much since he came to the table, most of the people present are royal relatives who are not easy to see, especially the Yuzhen princess sitting next to her, Yang Yuhuan is a little scared of her in his heart, if it is placed at the banquet on weekdays, Yang Daguifei will definitely be the protagonist, and now she is also a little restrained.

I already understood Li San's thoughts, and I also had a good impression of that little colt, so I said it directly.

Several of the old princes here have told Princess Shuang'er that they are matchmakers, and they all know who this "little colt" is, and Prime Minister Yang naturally knows, these people are obviously a little surprised, only to hear that the little colt is a child in a poor mountainous area, how can he be so good at cooking?

Princess Yuzhen heard Yang Yuhuan say this at this moment, but this dish was unique, so she asked: "Who is this little horse?" ”

Everyone laughed, and Princess Li Qing took Princess Yuzhen's hand and said kindly: "My sister hasn't returned to Beijing for four years, and that Shuang'er is married!" ”……

Prince Li Heng, who was at the next table, was still a little surprised when he saw this dish, when he summoned the fat imperial chef away, Li Heng thought that his father wanted to keep it for himself, but he didn't want to bring it here.

Li Heng is sitting with all the little princes, no way, the older generation has not died too much, a table obviously can't sit down, this prince carried forward the traditional virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, and let the seat sit at the adjacent table, which is also good, Li Heng is most afraid of eating with Li San, and he has never eaten enough.

The table is still relatively close, Li Heng's table is considered a junior, and he doesn't dare to speak loudly, so Li San can still hear a few points when they speak, Li Ye just listened to a rough idea, and asked Li Heng what it is, he asked, the little princes present all knew, just like that, slowly, table by table, Xu Da Ma's cooking skills soon spread throughout the square.

Li Shuang'er sulked alone, she didn't taste this dish, Xu Chen's departure disrupted her plans, but she felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to control the titular colt now, but she herself was embarrassed and had no choice, she categorically couldn't meet the elders stupidly alone, the colt didn't come, the etiquette was unreasonable, but if she didn't meet tonight, it would be even more unreasonable.

Tonight's dinner has just begun, these dishes have attracted widespread attention from everyone, the officials are idle, while eating while talking about the name and appearance of this dish, the princes and magnates are also very good at this dish, of course, the main thing is that the fat imperial chef Xu Chen taught him stir-fry techniques have delved into a set of basic perfect system, and Xu Chen said that the practice of modern dishes, the fat imperial chef is also the essence, the fat imperial chef is famous all over the world, and everyone in the industry knows it, no, the dishes made have conquered a large part of the people.

So when they heard the news about this dish, everyone paid a lot of attention, and the story of the horse teaching the imperial chef to cook also came over.

In addition to the fact that there is some quiet around the emperor's table in the middle, those who are farther away from the emperor, such as Li Shuang'er's table and the table a little inside, speak much more casually, and it will be noisy, and at this time, the princess who ran back from the table in excitement on the Shuang'er table suddenly made the princesses lift their spirits.

"It's spread at the banquet that these dishes are actually made by Shuang'er's father-in-law!" The princess who spoke was obviously a neutral person, and when she was arguing just now, she only cared about drinking tea and watching the excitement.

This sentence surprised everyone present, and after a while, Princess Li Xie said: "Don't talk nonsense, the person was still sitting here a while ago, and if he didn't see him for a while, did he go to cook?" Besides, what kind of food does a mountain man make, seaweed porridge? ”

Several princesses are in line with a smile, this Li Xie is a well-known poisonous mouth, no matter what is ugly or not unpleasant, and if there is no major problem, it is quite cool for her to say that she has been addicted.

Not only Li Xie didn't believe it, but Li Shuang'er didn't believe it, this colt was interested in the corn cakes and soy milk on the street all day long, and he had never seen him cook by himself, isn't this nonsense! However, this Li Xie is obviously taunting again, and the battle between the two will not stop until the banquet is over. I just wanted to fight back, but I couldn't interject.

When the princess saw that everyone didn't believe her, she hurriedly said, "Oh, no, this dish is made by the imperial chef, but the craftsmanship of this imperial chef was learned from the horse a few days ago!" I don't believe you, listen carefully, this table next to you is talking! ”

In fact, when the princess was talking, everyone listened quietly, and the discussion on the table next to her had already flown into everyone's ears, only then did they know that these unique dishes were really that person's craftsmanship, and Li Shuang'er realized that this was true.

It's really shocking, if you want to say that this colt can compose poems, do business, and invent and create things that surprise Li Shuang'er, then the new skill added by the colt is enough to shock Shuang'er, no matter what, she can't figure it out, a person who grew up in the mountains since childhood, at least can cook better than the imperial chef in the palace?

Li Xie is face was quite ugly, obviously choked, this is also too exaggerated, Xu Chen's background of children in the poor mountainous area, I believe that the royal clan present and the officials in the court all know, is this kind of identity will let the imperial chef learn to cook with you? Come on, I don't believe it if I kill you......

At this moment, Li San's table was already shocked, and Princess Yuzhen knew that Shuang'er was actually married, so she wanted to wait a while to meet these two newcomers, and felt that this concubine was quite interesting, especially his identity, I don't understand what the third brother is trying to do, but I also know that the third brother has always loved Shuang'er, and this marriage will definitely not be wrong.

Although Princess Yuzhen has not been in the capital for many years, the residual power is still there, and the old people are even more majestic.

After eating two mouthfuls of food, it is to have some wine, this wine naturally does not need to be said, royal aging, generally such a large banquet Li San will take it out to share with everyone, and occasionally give courtiers to show grace, but after everyone raised the first cup of the stomach, Li San was still waiting for everyone to discuss, at this time Tian Yuma squinted his eyes and smiled: "Brother Huang, your wine, it's not delicious." ”……

Curved Tower, on the long bridge.

The girl dressed as a man was saying, "Are you not good at sight?" Can't the big girl see it? After that, Xu Chen was dumbfounded, and before Xu Chen came to his senses, the woman continued: "I borrowed it from you just now, and I still thank you." ”

With that, he turned around and left.

Only then did I see the whole picture of this girl, she was also wearing a bearded dress, and a big reddish-brown pound on the top of her head covered her long hair, and her face was delicate and handsome, which looked quite chic, but the obvious bulge on her chest showed that this girl was not deliberately pretending to be a man.

Xu Chen then remembered that there was a custom of women wearing men's clothes in the Tang Dynasty, but there were not many people who really wore them like this, it seemed that Princess Taiping was good, and ordinary people would not see it at home, so it can be seen that this woman's identity is definitely not ordinary.

In fact, except for the literati, everyone else who came here had some background identity, and this was a royal gathering of literati, and not everyone could come.

Seeing that the woman was about to leave, Xu Chen was able to stop her.

"Wait!" Xu Chen chased after him with an arrow and said with a smile: "You see that you have taken me all, let me take it too, is this fair......

The woman's eyes widened, looking at this young man who looked like a literati, and she couldn't believe that the other party would say such a thing after learning that she was her daughter.

Is this colt going to be a hooligan?
