Chapter 61: A Tragic Witness to History
Liu Wu's face was full of incredulity: "If this king sets you to be the first-class table at the fifth table, you need to pay 250 catties, so what if it is a special class?" Is it possible that I have to pay you a thousand gold? ”
Li Hanxin said that your calculation is correct, aren't you just two hundred and five, and shook his head with a smile: "No, no, a seat at the special table is five hundred catties of gold, and you should pay two thousand five hundred catties." ”
"You kid really dare to ask for it!" Liu Wu smiled: "Aren't you afraid that this king will punish you?" ”
"Don't be afraid, King Liang will not be unreasonable, not according to the law, the kid opens the door to do business, the willing one takes the bait, and the unwanted kid does not force it, how can you punish the crime for no reason."
Liu Wu said with a smile: "Okay, this king will order you to have five tables of special tables, and I will see if the things you serve are worth my year's worth of eating." ”
"Yes."
"Also, what percentage of your wine is there? What is the rationale for this? Liu Wu said strangely.
"King Liang tasted it and knew it." Li Han said with a smile: "You have ordered a five-class banquet, and the kid will give you various degrees of liquor." ”
Liu Wu was also very simple, after he was settled, he turned around and got into the carriage and left, and a thin and dry man with a gloomy face who had been following him said: "Lord, this son is really extraordinary, no wonder Dou Ying pleaded for the prince in the queen mother, the first one is to ask this son for help, should we kill him in advance to eliminate future troubles?" ”
Liu Wu shook his head resolutely and said, "No! Regardless of whether this son is really close to Liu Rong's child, he is diagnosing his mother, and he must not touch him until his mother recovers! ”
The thin man's name was Gongsun Wei, and he was the most trusted favorite of Liu Wu, and when he heard Liu Wu say this, he immediately changed his words and said: "I heard that this son's skills are extraordinary, and it is very beneficial to the rich country and the strong people, since we can't kill him, it is better to pull him over and use it for us." ”
"Well, that's a good idea, you can go and see." Liu Wu agreed this time.
"Yes, my lord, the minister will start to win over immediately."
Of course, Li Han didn't know that the master and servant of King Liang of Lu Dao set two fates for him in an instant, it will open tomorrow, various grades of dishes are arranged, meat and vegetarian matching, everything needs to be strictly controlled by him, his concept is that it can be sold expensively, but it must make the guests feel that it is worth the money, otherwise it will be a pot and a hammer of vegetable melons, and there will be no mixing in the future.
Busy until dark home, Li Han was tired and just wanted to fall asleep, who knew that as soon as he lay down, Li San hurriedly came to report, saying that someone from the palace came to announce the decree, because King Liang returned to Beijing to see, tonight the queen mother had a night banquet, the emperor ordered Li Han to enter the palace to send a few delicacies, and bring a few jars of wine to help the fun.
Li Han secretly scolded the master in his heart and was not your cook, why did you have a family gathering to make me live in peace, but after all, he didn't dare to disobey, and quickly ordered his subordinates to go to the restaurant to get the materials he reported, and brought a jar of rice wine and two jars of liquor into the palace in a carriage.
The lights are bright, but there are only the Queen Mother, Liu Qi and Liu Wu at the banquet, it seems to be a private banquet between mother and son, and even a female family member did not shout, and the pavilion Tao was not sitting.
"Han'er, the Queen Mother heard that your mother said that the food you made tasted wonderful, and she had never had the opportunity to taste it, and it was a great joy for King Liang to return to Beijing today, so I asked you to cook a few dishes, and you have to prepare for it." Liu Qi said affectionately like an uncle.
After Li Han gave a few gifts, he agreed and followed the imperial chef to the kitchen, the materials and seasonings were all brought by him, the restaurant will open tomorrow, there are a lot of semi-finished materials, and now it will be done quickly.
After a stir-fry and cooking tea, he made a scrambled egg with tomatoes, a shredded cucumber and green pepper shredded with nepeta, a crispy Dongpo meat has been simmering in the restaurant for three hours, and now it is hot, a chicken that he is best at, roasted eggplant, tofu stewed pork ribs, these dishes are prepared in consideration of the Queen Mother's love for soft and rotten things, and there is also a plate of corn noodles wotou, rice cake is counted as pastry, and a rice wine small rice ball is made, and Li Han's purified sucrose is put in, which is considered to be alive.
For a while, the eunuchs put the dishes on the table, and Li Han went out to open the wine he brought and said: "Han'er prepared rice wine for the Queen Mother, and 40-degree liquor for the two uncles, and the dishes have been ready. ”
Liu Qi had long been attracted by the table full of dishes that he had never seen before, even Liu Wu was full of surprise, and the Queen Mother was even more happy to laugh Mimi, praising Li Han for being thoughtful.
Liu Qi smiled: "Good boy, good means!" I've been an emperor for seven years, and it's the first time I've seen such a tempting meal, and the ingredients are very peculiar, so you should sit down and eat together, and you can answer our questions at any time. ”
Hearing that Li Han was allowed to eat together, the Queen Mother looked at Liu Qi a little strangely, but did not object, and greeted Li Han very affectionately to sit in front of her.
In fact, Li Han is even more reluctant to eat with them, these people seem to be amiable, but the companion is like a tiger, which sentence provokes the tiger is not happy, "Wow" swallow it in one bite, he will not see the sun tomorrow, what is better than going home and snoring a bowl of noodles with an old bowl, and then lying down and sleeping comfortably.
However, how could the emperor dare to oppose it, Li Han had no choice but to sit in front of the Queen Mother with an innocent smile.
At this time, in the palace, there was not as ** as the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and the eunuchs had to taste it first to eat a mouthful, and the Queen Mother greeted: "Qi'er Wu'er, my mother and son have not been reunited for a long time, and I am very happy for my mother today, come, try Han'er's craftsmanship." ”
In front of the Queen Mother, Liu Wu likes to play the appearance of innocence, so he deliberately went down with chopsticks and sandwiched a chicken leg, and ate it exaggeratedly, only one bite down, and breathed with his mouth wide open, but said with a bold smile: "Wow, it's enjoyable!" Boy, what kind of spice is this made of? It's really enjoyable! No wonder your kid sells 500 gold for a table, just rush this enjoyable taste, it's worth it! ”
Liu Qi asked in surprise: "What is a seat of 500 catties of gold?" ”
Liu Wu said with a smile: "Hahaha, you see this kid with low eyebrows, you think he is a good child, in fact, he is a big profiteer, I want to feast relatives and friends in his big restaurant tomorrow, do you guess how much he cares about me for five banquets?" ”
"You just said, he sells 500 catties of gold for a table, is it possible, he wants 2,500 catties of gold?" The Queen Mother asked.
"Not really!" Liu Wu said, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all, and immediately praised: "Wow! Wine! Boy, uncle admires you, you made all this thing? ”
"Yes, the boy's skills made my uncle smile." Li Han said obediently.
The Queen Mother sandwiched a chopsticks and tomatoes and scrambled eggs, and said in surprise: "Ah, what kind of dish is this, sweet and sour, scrambled with eggs, it is really delicious and bite, Han'er, where did you get this dish?" ”
"Queen Mother, this is called tomatoes. In his early years, Master Sun Er once traveled to the Western Regions and brought back seeds that were not available in Middle-earth, and he left a bag for his grandson, and now his grandson is planting, and these are used for the Queen Mother and the two uncles Chang Xin. ”
For a while, the three nobles were attracted by the food, and they appreciated and ate for a while, the rice wine was sweet and very delicious, the queen mother of Xiao Tangyuan drank a lot, and Wotou also ate two, and the mood was very good.
Originally, Li Han wanted to retire in advance, but after the Queen Mother drank a full glass, she suddenly said to Liu Qi with a smile on her face: "Qi'er, I heard that the businessman is his own relatives, so he passed on to his younger brother." The Zhou people respected what they deserved, and passed on to their sons. If I am 100 years old, I will entrust King Liang to you. ”
When Liu Qi heard this, he knelt up on the seat, straightened up and said, "Obey my mother's orders." ”
Li Han is petrified!
He is too familiar with this history, and the historical records are written clearly and clearly: "Gai Wen Liang Wang entered the court in the west, told the Empress Dowager Dou, Yan Jian, and Emperor Jing sat in front of the Empress Dowager, and spoke privately. The Empress Dowager said to the emperor: 'I heard that Yin Dao kissed, Zhou Dao respected, and his righteousness was also one. Anche drives, with Liang Xiaowang as the send. Emperor Jing knelt down and said, "No." ’”
This is the words of the Queen Mother who beat Liu Qi and quickly established Liu Wu as the crown prince!
Damn, that's too exciting!
Tai Shi Gong, Dad, who of you would have thought that I would become a witness to this historical event? Alive, tender, face-to-face witnesses!
Li Han was intoxicated with himself becoming a witness to history, and suddenly heard Liu Qi ask: "Han'er, although you are young, you have extraordinary knowledge, you can tell me, if I am 100 years old, it is good to entrust the country to King Liang?" ”
As soon as Liu Qi spoke, a room full of people were stunned, this was originally the situation between the Queen Mother and Liu Wu, so that Liu Qi had to fulfill his promise, Liu Qi was not surprised to understand, why did he ask Li Han unexpectedly?
Li Han was stunned, because he was confused, this is not how it evolved in history! It should be that the emperor is pretending to be confused now, and after going back, he summoned the ministers to ask the queen mother what she meant by this, and then the ministers expressed their opinions.
However, now in addition to the mother and son at the banquet, there is one more outsider, and the emperor clearly asks him, how to answer this?
"Han'er, I asked you, why didn't you answer?" Liu Qi looked at Li Han in a daze, and urged desperately.
What to do? Do you want to copy the dissuasion of Yuan Ang and others recorded by Taishi Gong, and take the credit?
"Qi'er, even though Han'er is smart, he is always a child, how can you ask him about such a big thing?" The queen said with displeasure.
Li Han hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the child is shallow and doesn't understand such national affairs, so let's retire first......"
Liu Qi suddenly sank his face and reprimanded: "The elder's life cannot be violated, Li Han, don't you understand this truth?" When your uncle asks you something, you can answer what you think you want, this is a private banquet, even if you don't answer properly, no one will punish you, how can you prevaricate and not answer? ”
Li Han saw Liu Qi turn his face, he was instantly flustered, where did he have time to think about it, and opened his mouth and said: "The child thinks it's inappropriate......
