Chapter 167: England

After strolling around and eating, Li Yan also went back to the house, lying on the big bed, and the curtain on the top was also replaced with a new one, but the lamp on the top, Li Yan felt that it could be replaced with a suspended ceiling.

It's not a big deal to change to a suspended ceiling, and you don't need to talk to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Tu Ninghai can do this.

However, some things still have to be taken to the Internal Affairs Office, since you go to get them, naturally the people in the Internal Affairs Office will know, and if you change to other concubines, the Internal Affairs Office may not be careful, but the queen, it is too late to rush to the knot.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has always praised the high and the low, and the speed here in Li Yan is fast, and there is nothing to say.

So, after a few days of hard work, this was done.

Li Li looked at the ceiling with satisfaction, even with her modern vision, this is also very beautiful, with carved beams and paintings on the top of her head, a lamp hanging in the center, flower-carved driftwood, oil paper painted with exquisite patterns on all sides, and a chandelier hanging down, almost a "retro version" of the chandelier.

I have to say that there are really a lot of fine things in ancient times, it's like modern times, okay, you can buy it unless you are particularly rich, otherwise you have to use machines to produce it collectively, no way, the era of big data.

Early in the morning, the fourth master came, and as soon as he came in, he asked, "Is it available?" ”

Li Yan said "um" and asked the fourth master: "Can the master have breakfast?" ”

The little eunuch under Su Peisheng went to order dinner, and then the fourth master sat in the chair and watched Yu Ju neatly twist Jian Luoyao's hair full of green silk into a beautiful hairstyle.

In fact, it's not pretty, and there are a few hairstyles around the Qing Dynasty, and no matter how much they change, they can't change anything.

The fourth master approached a few steps, standing beside Li Yan, Yuzhu was picking out a headdress for Jian Luoyao: "Does Niangniang wear this hosta, or a golden ......?"

Before he finished speaking, a slender hand crossed over and took a double phoenix bead and shook it in steps.

The winged phoenix shape, the twin tail wings tremble lightly in the shaking, more like to spread their wings and fly high, the polished smooth and round ruby in the pure gold against the background, the more delicate and delicate, and the thin tassels falling at the bottom, gently shaking.

Yuzhu's words suddenly stopped.

"Just wear this."

Li Yan glanced back at the fourth master and smiled very brightly: "Okay." ”

The fourth master smiled, and then didn't say anything, just quietly watched Li Yan dress up.

And Li Yan looked at the Jin Buyan who was wearing almost one-third of his head in the mirror, and he felt that Jin Feng was about to fly out when he turned his head slightly, and he had to admit that the things that the queen brought were good, and he couldn't bring these before.

After dressing up, the two went out for a stroll for a while, in the winter, Li Yan didn't know what to stroll around, but the people around him were the fourth master, and Li Yan felt that wherever he went was heaven.

At this time, Li Yan also had the heart to go to the lake next to the Imperial Garden to have a look.

Then he looked at the fourth master with a smile: "Master, do you want to have some barbecue?" The fourth master glanced at Li Yan: "You will eat." ”

The fourth master recently fell in love with grilled seafood, but he couldn't transport too much at one time, so Li Yan began to explore freshness in Tamsui River.

Scallops don't have them, but shrimp are still okay.

River mussels are also a good ingredient, but people here don't eat them. After this, there are lakes and Fuhai, and Li Yan ordered people to pick up the small ones and salvage some of them, and the small ones are fresh and tender.

And screws, this is just a lot, a lot!

In the shallow water, the eunuchs went down and came up again, and they were all on both legs! put Li Yan laughing forward and backward.

River mussels can be completely the same as scallops, the difference is to sprinkle salt. Shrimp Li Li remembered the skewers, skewered them with bamboo skewers, one after another, she habitually removed the shrimp heads, squeaked and oiled in the copper plate, sprinkled with chili powder, cumin powder, not too fragrant!

There were also a lot of small river crabs at this time, and she asked someone to catch a lot. The small river crab meat is less, but it is very delicious, and if you eat more river crabs, you will know that the taste is no worse than that of sea crabs.

Especially the crab paste, it's delicious!

At this time, the crucian carp was very tender, and there was fish roe, Li Yan used it to make soup, and the milky white crucian carp soup was originally disliked by the fourth master, but later he liked it when he ate more.

Then ask the imperial dining room to prepare veal slices, lamb slices, all marinated, as well as chicken breasts and other kinds of meat, as well as mushrooms, all kinds of vegetables. Prepare oil and salt seasonings.

Characteristics of soybean flour, oil-consumption, chili powder.

Li Yan is going to have a 'copper plate' barbecue party with the fourth master on the island.

The copper plate has been improved since the last use. It is made into a slight arch so that the oil can flow down. First brush the oil with a brush, then put the food on it, the charcoal is grilled underneath, and the people in the imperial dining room also make a simple chimney so that the charcoal smoke will not float around.

When the fourth master came, Li Yan was sitting by the lake and roasting, and the beef had already been put on, and the oil was roasting, bubbling with aroma.

On one side of the copper net, the river mussels are also roasted and medium-cooked.

"Come on, eat more today!" Li Yan saw that the fourth master was coming, so he hurriedly greeted him.

The fourth master also likes this kind of do-it-yourself fun, and he can add whatever he likes, and it seems that it is delicious to bake it himself.

"Another trick you came up with? The imperial dining room is very tormented by you. The fourth master smiled.

"I'm here for you, who told you to eat less?" Li Yan sandwiched some roasted beef and put it in front of the fourth master, and there were several plates and various dipping sauces in front of the fourth master.

"I like this." Li Yan pointed to the dipping sauce of soybean flour accompanied by chili powder in front of him.

The fourth master also mixed it with her and dipped it in beef, and it really tasted good.

"And this chili sauce is delicious, too." Li Yan pushed it and put a bowl of red chili sauce in the middle of the table.

The fourth master also touched a little, and felt that it was not only spicy, but also a little sweet, and asked curiously: "Why is it still sweet?" ”

Li Yan looked like you don't understand, and said with a smug smile: "This is a fresh chili pepper and apple puree chopped together and boiled with seasonings, the secret recipe." ”

The fourth master was surprised: "How can these two things be done together?" It tastes chic. The fourth master's cognition of Li Yan's eating has reached a new level of cognition.

As long as she points out, food can be turned into magic!

The two of them had a good meal and were in a good mood. The fourth master also stayed for a refreshing nap.

"Lu Lu is really a little goblin, without you, I can't sleep well." When the fourth master woke up from a nap, he saw Li Yan looking at him with his head propped up, and his eyes were still confused. Apparently just woke up.

"Me too, my lord is not here, and I can't sleep well." Li Lu leaned on the fourth master and said, she never knew that the fourth master felt like this, she couldn't sleep well without being there, this is called missing, right?

"You have to be good and accompany your master for a long time."

It's not the first time that the fourth master has said this, and he has even said it many times. Li Yan knew that he was worried about the Queen Mother, and he was also scared because of Hongqing's incident this time.

"Lu Lu and Yinzhen, life and sleep together, death in the same hole. It's still like that in the next life. Li Yan is rarely so sensational, but at this moment, it seems so natural to say such things, and he is not embarrassed at all.

The fourth master was all hot by her confession. She always knew what she wanted to hear and what she wanted.

The fourth master overwhelmed Li Yan as soon as he turned over.

"You and I should be you and me, and I should have you." As he spoke, he kissed him fiercely.

When the fourth master left, Li Yan fell asleep again and was tired.

But in a few days, we will have to get busy again, and the English mission will enter Beijing.

The fourth master had already assigned Ye Bozhe, Hong Qing, Hongday, and more than a dozen civil and military officials to receive him. Among the missions, Prince Werther, the youngest son of George I of England, and the cousin of George I, Earl Albert, were at the head. It didn't matter anything else, and even the English mission came with British and German merchants.

The fourth master had already prepared to receive Prince Witte and Count Albert for a banquet in the Taihe Palace.

On the morning of the sixth day of the new year, Li Yan got up and dressed up.

If you want to see a foreign envoy today, you must wear auspicious clothes. Fortunately, it is cold now, otherwise if it is summer, Li Yan will feel hot when he thinks about it. The red auspicious clothes had already been prepared, changed clothes, put on a crown and hat, Li Yan didn't insist on walking, and sat down to the Qianqing Palace.

The fourth master was already waiting for her, and the sons were busy asking for peace when they saw Eniang.

Today, they are all wearing Baylor python robes, and they are all magnificent.

Those who can participate in this banquet, in addition to Li Yan in the harem, there are also Concubine Yu and Concubine Gong, and Li Yan also laughed and said that there is no young one.

At this time, I can't take care of filial piety. Concubine Yu wore a peach-colored auspicious suit, Concubine Gong was a silver-red auspicious suit, and Concubine Chun was a beige auspicious suit.

At the end of the hour, Prince Witte and Count Albert walked in, accompanied by the Ninth Master and the Thirteenth Master of Hongqing Hongday.

Li Yan's eyes lit up, such a handsome person!

The main reason is that the British royal family and nobles of that period had good clothes, and the tight belts were tied, which made the man look tall.

The two Li Yan couldn't tell which one was the earl and which one was the prince, anyway, they were both blonde and blue-eyed, she defaulted to the younger one was the prince, right?

In fact, it was the younger one, the prince, who was a fun-loving prince and even spoke Chinese.

I saw him bow his head with the etiquette of their country and say, "See His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom." ”

The fourth master smiled: "Prince Witt is coming from afar, you don't have to be polite, please take a seat." ”

But Count Albert did not speak, but saluted and sat down next to Prince Werther.

Li Yan looked at it curiously, since he crossed over, he has never seen a blonde person again! It's really eye-catching, and I don't feel hot!

As soon as the fourth master turned around, he saw Li Yan's eyes bright. I smiled secretly in my heart, I had never seen a foreigner, but I was still upset, so I coughed lightly.

Li Yan looked at the fourth master with a smile, only to see that he was looking ahead, not squinting, and looking serious.

I can't help but laugh in my heart, but at this time, in front of foreigners, I still have to save some face for the fourth master, otherwise the person who will be lost is the entire Qing Dynasty.

Li Yan looked at these British people below, and remembered how hard he had studied English in his previous life, if only my Great Heavenly Empire had always been so powerful.
