Chapter 310: Preserved Eggs and Eyeballs

"Call the landlord!" A man's excited voice was heard from the rocking carriage.

"Don't scream!"

"Don't scream!"

Two crisp female voices sounded one after the other, followed by the sound of cards being thrown and the laughter of men and women.

Outside the car was an army of 15,000 brought from Dengzhou, these people used to be from the slave hunting team, and now they all belong to Li Su's private army, but they are all equipped with Datang's standard armor weapons. This time, they will be with Li Su to receive a fruit that has already ripened.

Li Su in the carriage was very excited, and together with Wen'er and Hua'er next to him, the three of them were playing with great interest to fight the landlord, after all, this journey was really boring, and they could only rely on this to kill time. The carriage they were sitting in was very huge, in addition to Li Su, Wen'er and Hua'er, Jin Shengman was also in the car, but compared to the excitement of Li Su's three people, Jin Shengman sat quietly on the other side of the carriage, and he didn't know what he was thinking?

After Li Su and Kim Seungman got married, he immediately assembled a team and went to Silla with her in the name of sending Kim Seungman back. Originally, Zhao Fu and Lu Hong were against Li Su going to Silla, after all, no matter how you say it, it is another country, and it is really not appropriate to take risks with Li Su's identity, but Li Su thinks that this matter is very important, if he doesn't go, I'm afraid that others will not be able to control the scene, so he insisted on coming, but fortunately, Wang An, who is the prince, supported him to do so, and finally persuaded everyone to go to Silla with heavy troops.

However, they did not go directly to Silla by boat, but disembarked at the closest place to Pyongyang, and then went to Pyongyang by land. Now calculate the distance, and it is estimated that you will be there by noon tomorrow at the latest.

In the evening, Li Su and the others came to a small city not far from Pyongyang, and when the officials in the city heard that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was coming, they were all startled, and hurriedly went out of the city to meet and prepare accommodation, but Li Su only asked the officials in the city to prepare their own places to live, and the other soldiers were stationed outside the city, and no one was allowed to enter the city to make trouble.

In the end, Li Su and Jin Shengman were arranged to live temporarily in the house of a wealthy family in the city, and all the people in the house were replaced by people from the palace. Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Li Su deliberately asked the officials in the city to take him around the city, and he found that this small city was still the old city of Goguryeo, but the inhabitants inside had undergone great changes, except for a few Han people who were originally under the rule of Goguryeo, most of the other residents moved from Guanzhong, and many of them lived in their own farms and pastures outside the city most of the time, and only came back once in a while. For example, the owner of the house where he temporarily lives is like this, and it is precisely because of this. So the inhabitants of the city seem to be a little scarce.

Of course, there are also lively places in the city, such as a trading market that occupies a quarter of the area of the small city, and almost all the products from the nearby farms and pastures will be transported here to trade, so from time to time there are big carriages pulling goods in and out, and there are many merchants inside.

It is also worth mentioning. With the development of the wool textile industry, wool has evolved into a commodity, and there are still a lot of them, and he even heard that many ranchers are preparing to increase the amount of sheep raised, ready to make a lot of money on wool.

Looking at such a prosperous border town in front of him, Li Su was also very happy. Moreover, he also found that in addition to the local merchants of the Tang Dynasty, there were also merchants from Silla and Baekje, but these merchants were like hungry wolves. As long as it is something to eat, they will chase after them and want to buy it, but they can't afford to pay too high a price, so the volume is not much.

Looking at the Silla and Baekje merchants who were desperately bargaining, Li Su secretly sneered twice, but his face did not show it, and then he praised the officials who helped him introduce him, and then returned to his residence.

"Your Highness, do you still eat preserved eggs tonight?" As soon as he returned to the residence, Hua'er asked mischievously. Along the way, Li Su was not only very cold to Jin Shengman, but also deliberately teased the other party, for example, taking eating as an example, he deliberately ate the cut preserved eggs in front of Jin Shengman, and told the other party that this was the deer's eyeball, but it was pickled, and as a result, Jin Shengman vomited on the spot disgustingly, and even now she doesn't know that she was deceived.

Li Su thought for a while and smiled: "Good idea, I will eat preserved eggs tonight!" ”

"Good! I'm going to prepare, and we've brought a lot more from Dengzhou! ”

As soon as Hua'er heard a cheer, she turned around and was about to leave, but she was stopped by Wen'er next to her, and saw Wen'er persuade Li Sugui: "Your Highness, Jin Huan is also the lord of a country no matter what you say, isn't it too much for us to tease people like this?" ”

Li Su knew that Wen'er was soft-hearted, so she didn't get angry after hearing this, her eyes rolled and she thought of a good idea, only to see him roll up his sleeves, revealing the bite mark on his wrist and said: "Wen'er, it's not that I want to tease her, but she is really too deceitful, look at my wrist, I was bitten by her in the first place!" ”

As Li Su's personal maid, Wen'er and Hua'er naturally both knew what was going on with Li Su's arm injury, but they saw that Hua'er was afraid that the world would not be chaotic and coaxed: "That's it, that woman is so ruthless that she almost bit off a piece of meat from Her Highness's arm, let's give her a little bitterness!" ”

When Wen'er saw the scar on Li Su's hand, her heart also ached, and seeing that Li Su and Hua'er were both eager to try, she couldn't stop it anymore, so she had to let go of the hand holding Hua'er and let them mess around.

But at this moment, suddenly the guards outside found Li Su and whispered in his ear for a while, which made Li Su's face sink, and he hurriedly went out to meet someone, and then talked secretly with the other party in the study for a while, and then let the other party leave, and after Li Su walked out of the study, he stopped at the door and looked eastward, with a bit of murderous aura in his eyes.

At dinnertime, Li Su and Jin Shengman in the restaurant sat down, and then the maid brought a few small dishes, although there were not many dishes, but they were quite exquisite, Li Su ate rudely, but Jin Shengman ate extremely elegantly, and his eyes did not look at Li Su at all. This made Li Su a little bored, and secretly glanced at Hua'er, but Hua'er immediately understood, turned around and served a plate of preserved eggs with the egg whites removed, and all of them were cut in half, which really looked like cut animal eyeballs.

When Hua'er put the plate on the table, Li Su found that Jin Shengman, who had been eating with his head down, stiffened, and his face became a little unnatural, probably remembering the last time he vomited. This made Li Su immediately have a sense of accomplishment, picked up a piece of preserved egg at random and put it in his mouth, and said to the painting next to him while eating: "The taste of this deer eye is good today, do you want to taste the painting?" ”

Hua'er immediately replied: "Where are the slaves and maids blessed to taste such delicacies, Your Highness should let Jin Huanren taste it!" ”

When Li Su heard this, he immediately gave Hua'er an appreciative look, and then pushed the plate of preserved eggs in front of Jin Shengman, and said to her in a gentle voice for the first time: "Shengman, this is a rare delicacy in the world, you hurry up and taste it!" ”

Originally, according to Li Su's estimate, Jin Shengman should have begun to vomit at this time, but today's incident was obviously beyond his expectations, only to see that Jin Shengman, who was still very nervous just now, suddenly became calm, and after gently putting down the chopsticks, he showed a gentle smile to Li Su, and then lightly opened his lips and said: "Thank you Your Highness for the reward, but since Shengman and His Highness got married, he has not been able to express his heart, and today I took this opportunity to prepare a dish for His Highness!" ”

After Jin Shengman finished speaking, the maid beside her immediately ran out, and Li Su looked at the other party's flower-like jade face, but suddenly had a bad feeling. After a while, the maid brought a jade plate covered with a lid, and gently placed it on the table.

I saw Jin Shengman stretch out a jade hand, then gently grabbed the lid, and his ruddy lips hooked up a beautiful arc and said: "The concubine knows that His Royal Highness likes to eat deer eyes, so she specially asked people to prepare some, and our Silla is different from Datang, we like to eat these things raw!" ”

Jin Shengman said, gently opened the lid, and as a result, the Wen'er and the paintings around Li Su all screamed, and even Li Su frowned, and the plate was indeed as Jin Shengman said, there were a few fresh animal eyes, and even the sharp eyes He found that there were still a few traces of blood on them.

Looking at the eyeballs on the plate, Li Su looked at the preserved eggs he had eaten just now, and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, and felt a little like vomiting, although he also knew that many people in later generations liked to eat things like fish eyes and sheep eyes, but Li Su has always stayed away from foods such as eyes, let alone eating them raw.

I saw Jin Shengman gently pick up a small fork, and then very cruelly forked an eye, dipped it in the sauce next to him, and then sent it to Li Su's mouth and said: "Your Highness, how about tasting the concubine's cooking skills, this sauce is made by the concubine herself, and I don't know if it suits your appetite?" ”

Before the eyeballs were sent to Li Su's mouth, he had already smelled a unique fishy smell of raw meat, and then looked at the animal eyeballs that were forked by a fork, Li Su felt that his eyes were a little painful, and at the same time his stomach was churning, and the preserved egg that he had just eaten felt very delicious, but now it made him very disgusting, as if he had really eaten a raw eyeball.

"Your Highness, please eat, this eyeball has just been gouged out of the eye of a deer, while there is still a little heat, it is the freshest to eat!" Jin Shengman said with a smile again, as if what she was holding was really a rare delicacy in the world.

Li Su is now unable to advance or retreat, he personally said that he likes to eat deer eyes, but Jin Shengman took advantage of the situation and really prepared deer eyes, which was a 'good intention' in both feelings and reason, so that he couldn't find a reason not to eat at all, but now he doesn't want to eat it, his stomach is turning over and over, and it is already good if he doesn't spit it out.
