In the main hall, according to Li Er's meaning, the two tables were put together, and everyone gathered around to dine together, as the master of this mansion, the protagonist of this fishtail banquet, Liu Yuan was lucky to sit with these most noble people in the Tang Dynasty, although he sat in the last seat.

That's a favor.

There is no one of those people who is orthodox on the left and an old stubborn on the right, and Li Er, who was born in the march, is sometimes very easy-going.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of wine you like to eat?" Seeing that the maidservant girl was starting to serve, Liu Yuan hurriedly asked.

"Is there Shanxi Fenjiu?"

Li Yuan made his fortune in Taiyuan, Shanxi, thirteen years of great cause, in 617 AD, he stayed in Taiyuan, and after entering Shanxi, he also liked Shanxi Fenjiu, which also affected Li Er, there are many famous wines in the world, but his favorite is Fenjiu.

"Yes, yes, yes, the small ones will be fetched immediately." Liu Yuan said far away, turned his head and asked the eldest grandson, queen, prince, princess and others.

Empress Changsun drank lightly, for fear of losing her manners after drinking, she smiled and declined, Concubine Yang also signaled not to, and the prince, King Wei, and King Shu of Shu deliberately showed that they were a man in front of Li Er, and they also asked for Fenjiu one by one, as for those princesses, they were young, and secondly, when they saw that the queen mother didn't drink anymore, they all signaled not to.

Yes, it's very easy to deal with, and a few jars of Shanxi Fenjiu sent them away.

"Captain Liu, why don't you ask me?" Liu Yuan was about to instruct his subordinates to bring a few jars of Fen wine, but he didn't expect Li Zhi, the king of Jin, who was sitting on the side, to shout a little dissatisfied.

He felt that he was ignored by Liu Yuan, which made him a little unhappy, so he stopped Liu Yuan like a little adult, in fact, Liu Yuan really ignored him. A five-year-old kid, what kind of wine does he eat, and he hurts his body?

"I don't know His Royal Highness King Jin, what wine do you want to eat?" Liu Yuan couldn't help laughing, turned his head and asked.

It's time to play with him, who calls him a prince and he is just a courtier? Although he is a little kid, he can't bear the guilt, if history doesn't change his trajectory, this little guy is the next emperor, don't look at his well-behaved personality. waited for those brothers to fight to the death, and finally let me pick up a big bargain.

Li Zhi said with a firm face: "I also want to eat Fenjiu like my father." ”

"Haha" Li Er laughed happily, and Queen Changsheng categorically refused: "No, Zhi'er, you are still young." No alcohol or food. ”

"Yes, Ninth Brother. Drink it when you're a little older. Prince Li Chengqian smiled on the side.

Princess Changle also touched Xiao Li Zhi's head and said, "You are too young now." Drinking alcohol hurts your body, do you know the way? ”

"Oh" Li Zhi, the king of Jin, responded a little depressed, but he looked a little unhappy, it seems that children in ancient and modern times are like this, they want to grow up early, and see that the elder brother and father present can drink. I can't drink it, but I can't be disobedient, and I look a little aggrieved.

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin, I have freshly squeezed juice here." Don't, you come a little, it's very delicious, the queen's mother, Concubine Yang and the princesses also come to taste it, you won't get drunk as much as you drink, nourish yin and nourish your skin, it's very good for your skin. ”

These words made the eyes of some of the girls present light up, and the eldest grandson queen hesitated for a moment, and felt that she couldn't brush Liu Yuan's mood at the most, and it was not bad to try any juice, and it felt good when she heard it, so she nodded and agreed.

Soon, the good Shanxi Fenjiu, the sweet and delicious juice was brought up by the next person, the anxious Li Zhi and Princess Chengyang smelled the tempting fruity aroma, couldn't help but pick up the cup and drank it, first tasted it, and then his eyes lit up, and he took a sip of the cup and drank it all, and then said unsatisfactorily: "It's delicious, it's delicious, come on, pour it quickly, I want it." ”

"I want it too," the three-year-old Princess Chengyang said in a milky voice.

The girl on the side was a little hesitant, Liu Yuan smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness and the princess like to drink, just drink more, this drink is good for the body." ”

Empress Changsun saw a little red liquid inside, smelled sweet and sweet, and tasted it gently, the taste, sweet and sour, sweet and sour, rich in taste, it felt very good to eat, Empress Changsun couldn't help but take two more sips, turned her head to look at Concubine Yang, a glass of juice had been drunk.

"Liu Aiqing, how is this juice made, it tastes good." Empress Eldest Sun couldn't help but praise.

"Back to the queen, at this time, use grapes, plums, loquat and some seasonal melons and fruits to squeeze juice, mix them according to a certain routine, and then add refined sugar to make them, so that the essence of these fruits will be in the juice, so drinking too much is beneficial and harmless to the body." Liu Yuan explained.

In addition to Datang's inherent plum, bayberry, pear, persimmon, jujube, orange, loquat, melon, lychee, cherry, star fruit and other fruits, grapes, almonds, watermelons, guavas, cantaloupes, etc., so the varieties are still very rich, and it is not difficult for Liu Yuan to find materials.

"Really?" Empress Eldest Sun said happily: "The imperial doctor said that Zhi'er and Jinyang should eat more melons and fruits, but these two little guys are very picky eaters, and now they like to drink so much, this is just right, the two little guys also like to drink, Liu Aiqing, how to do it, can you teach the palace?" ”

"Of course there is no problem, these are very simple, the queen wants to learn, wait for Weichen to copy it with a pen, and then dedicate it to the queen mother."

Empress Eldest Sun nodded with satisfaction and said, "There is Lao Liu Qing's family." ”

Li Tai, the king of Wei, pointed to the dishes with a little confusion and said, "Captain Liu, do you need to heat up this dish, there is no heat at all." ”

Today in the back garden frolic, horseback archery, after washing, a little bit of dim sum pad belly, and then follow the father to "eat big", everyone is a little hungry, see the table on the plate of oily, brightly colored dishes, all of them are moving their index fingers, but in the winter, seeing that this dish is not hot at all, I can't help but hesitate a little.

The imperial doctor said that if you eat something uncooked, you are prone to stomach pain, this Liu Yuan will not prepare the dishes early and wait for someone to come, and now the dishes are cold, right?

As soon as Li Tai, the king of Wei, finished speaking, everyone looked at Liu Yuan, and even Li Er looked at Liu Yuan with a little displeasure, so he was also the king of a country, so he condescended to the mansion of this six-grade petty official. Treat yourself to cold dishes? You don't take yourself too seriously, do you?

"No, no, no" Liu Yuan hurriedly explained: "King Wei misunderstood, this is a new dish that the villain came up with, this is called cold dishes, just eat it like this." ”

"Cold cuts?"

Liu Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, this is called cold dishes, the selection of materials is fine, the taste is dry, crispy and tender, refreshing and not greasy, the color is gorgeous, the shape is neat and beautiful, the presentation is harmonious and pleasing to the eye, eat before the meal, eat well and appetizing." The emperor, the queen, the mother, the prince and the princes and princesses can taste it. ”

Then he introduced them one by one: "This is vinegar lotus root slices, spiced donkey meat, spiced herring, salted duck, rock sugar white kidney beans, assorted salad, ladies and gentlemen, please taste it." ”

Li Er looked at the lotus root slices with a bit of a crystal clear feeling, and the pale yellow color was also very pleasing, so he couldn't help but take a piece. Put it in your mouth and chew gently. It immediately feels crispy and juicy. It's not greasy, I don't know how to deal with it, there is no scum at all, the flavor is excellent, and the sound of the lotus root slices biting and breaking in the mouth makes people feel an inexplicable pleasure. I couldn't help but throw the rest of the piece into my mouth again.

Empress Changsun believes in Buddhism in recent years and is very interested in vegetarian dishes, and she is very interested in the assorted salad, so she took a melon slice and put it in it. I also feel that the taste is very fresh, as if I have just picked it from the melon field, and when it is the freshest, I bite into the crisp and raw feeling, and this feeling, without the earthy taste, has a unique taste.

Look at the prince Li Chengqian, Wei Wang Li Tai and others, only to see them eating happily one by one, full of oil, now they are in the development period, digestion is very strong, as the saying goes, half a child, eat poor Lao Tzu, it is said that at this age, horseback archery is the most energy-consuming, although out of the palace before eating a few pieces of dim sum, but after a while I was hungry, those cold dishes are carefully put together, the selection of high-quality materials, refreshing, bright color, just look at the appetite, one by one to eat happy.

First, they had never seen these dishes before, and they thought they were fresh, and secondly, they were really hungry.

The prince and the prince ate well, and even the princess was not to be outdone, because Li Er said that there was no need to follow the rules, and Princess Yuzhang stood up because she couldn't reach it; And Princess Changle is not far behind, picking up a piece of vinegar and lotus root slices, opening the cherry mouth, and sending it gently, the lotus root slices are only twisted a few times in her mouth, and they have been almost wiped out, covering her mouth with her left hand, holding chopsticks in her right hand, and putting it on the plate, a large piece of spiced donkey meat is on the chopsticks, which is really fast and elegant and generous, even the young Jin King Li Zhi and the three-year-old Princess Chengyang, while eating, they pointed at the personal palace maids around them, and let them eat for themselves.

Liu Daguan held the chopsticks, stopped in mid-air, and before the chopsticks moved, he saw that Li Er's family was like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and the dishes on the plate became less and less, from one plate to half a plate, and then slowly thinned and bottomed out, just like the reincarnation of a starving ghost.

In fact, I am not afraid that Li Er's family will eat fast, and the elephant will not be able to stand up to the ants, and the ants will bite the elephant to death, Liu Yuan has no family to accompany him, the slaves can't go on the stage, he doesn't invite relatives and friends, and he doesn't invite colleagues, thinking that Li Er is just one person, and at most he will bring one or two princes or princesses or something, and he only does the weight of three or four people, but he didn't expect the emperor, queen, prince, prince, princess, princess, one came to be a dozen, or just finished playing, with an empty stomach, in Li Er's words, if you go again when you are full, then what kind of big family to eat, And so it came.

There are many monks and little porridge, and Liu Yuan spent a lot of time instructing those chefs, and the things he made are delicious and strange, so if he doesn't eat it, he will see the bottom in a while.

This is a big mess, Liu Yuan finally knows the benefits of being prepared, the emperor came here to enjoy the "fishtail banquet", and the meal was not enough? Don't have any food to eat?

Speaking of it, I don't know if it makes people laugh at their idiocy and ignorance, or let people give them a copy, saying that they have the king in their eyes, that is a big crime of disrespect, seeing that the plates are empty, Liu Yuan is so anxious that he is about to sweat, before eating, don't you want to encourage a few words? Isn't it a poem, a drinking order, a song and dance, or a pitcher? Why does this family eat non-stop as soon as you come?

Just when Liu Yuan was about to pick up the wine to salute Li Er, so as not to be embarrassed by eating an empty plate, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: several maids rushed in, all holding steaming hot dishes in their hands.

The six cold dishes have been eaten, and now the six hot dishes are served, but as soon as he saw the amount on the plate, Liu Yuan's heart sank (to be continued.) )
