"Eat well." Cao Ze smiled: "Make sure you swallow your tongue when you turn around." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo swallowed his saliva fiercely.

Every time Cao Ze took out something delicious, he couldn't stop it.

Cao Ze said it so vigorously this time, it must have tasted great......

"By the way, go back and get me some beef." Cao Ze remembered something and added.

"Immortal Master ......" Cheng Chu was startled, looked left and right, and whispered: "Keep a low profile...... It's a problem to be heard......"

"Cut." Cao Ze said disdainfully: "If there are no outsiders here, don't pretend to be a kid." ”

"Hehe...... Cheng Chumo scratched his head in embarrassment: "How much does the immortal master want?" ”

"Let's get one first." Cao Ze smacked his lips: "I'll convert it into money for you when I go back." ”

"The immortal master is too polite." Cheng Chumo patted his chest boldly: "It's just a cow!" ”

It is worthy of the Cheng family.

When it comes to eating beef, that's how professional......

"That's right." Cao Ze continued: "Go back and let your father enter the palace and invite Your Majesty to come and taste this hot pot together." ”

Cao Ze thinks that since Li Shimin is not bad to himself, he must let Lao Li taste it now that he has delicious food, right?

Of course.

Selling chili peppers or something, that's just by the way.

More than half an hour later, the freshly killed beef arrived.

This made Cao Ze have to sigh once again about the professionalism of the old Cheng family.

At noon, Li Shimin arrived with his family.

Cao Thief and everyone greeted each other one by one.

on the table.

The water in the hot pot is already boiling, and the chili peppers and butter are constantly tumbling.

"Immortal Master, is this what you said was delicious?" Li Shimin was curious.

"It's called hot pot." Cao Ze picked up a piece of sheep and threw it into the pot: "Put it in and wait for a while......"

Because the time of shabu shabu is different for different ingredients, Cao Ze spoke in detail.

"Isn't this a mandarin duck pot?" After understanding how to eat, Li Shimin wondered.

"It's pretty much the same, but the taste is guaranteed to satisfy you." Cao Ze replied: "The red side has chili peppers, and if you can't eat spicy, you can eat the other side." ”

"What is a chili pepper?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"You can understand that it's about the same as Dogwood, but it's much stronger than Dogwood." Cao Ze explained.

Li Shimin nodded suddenly, and then picked up a piece of meat.

"Immortal Master ......" Looking at the familiar meat in front of him, Li Shimin hesitated: "This is ...... Beef......? ”

Datang can't kill ploughing cattle casually, only cattle that die of illness or accident can be used to eat meat.

Moreover, the whole process needs to be reported to the yamen, and the yamen has to send a special person to inspect it when you turn back.

After going through all the formalities, it's really not an ordinary trouble.

It can be said that Datang's treatment of dead cows is more complicated than dead people!

It's just that Cao Ze is an immortal, and Li Shimin can't blame anything......

"Hmm." Cao Ze nodded: "Lao Cheng sent it to me just now." ”

Cheng Biting Jin's face changed!

The hand holding the chopsticks also froze in mid-air......

Although it is a well-known secret that he eats beef.

But he was not arrogant enough to eat it in front of Li Shimin.

Immortal Master, have you gone too far?

Why did you sell my old Cheng like this?

Blue thin, shiitake mushrooms......

Sure enough.

Hearing this, Li Shimin immediately glared at Cheng Yanjin fiercely.

Cheng bites the golden second to understand!

With Cao Ze on his shoulder, His Majesty will definitely not blame himself now.

It seems that I have to secretly send some beef to His Majesty when I go back!

After a while, the first pot of ingredients was cooked.

Cao Ze picked up a piece of mutton and took a bite.

The tenderness of the mutton and the fiery heat of the pepper hit Cao Ze's taste buds fiercely, and Cao Ze squinted his eyes comfortably.

Sure enough!

Hot pot is the soul of winter!

Li Shimin hurriedly followed suit, sandwiched a piece of beef and put it in his mouth.

Seeing that Li Shimin moved his chopsticks, the others followed suit.

Perhaps out of curiosity about the red thing, everyone sandwiched the spicy half.

Although Cao Ze had reminded them before, they were still caught off guard by the power of chili peppers.

"Si~Ha~"

"Si~Ha~"

"Si~Ha~"

……

One by one, they flashed their hands desperately and inhaled, and spicy tears came out.

"If you can't eat spicy, eat the side that isn't spicy." Cao Ze admired this scene very unscrupulously, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Si~Ha~" Li Shimin sighed several times: "This chili flavor is really ......"

"It's a bit uncomfortable at first." Empress Eldest Sun echoed: "But the aftertaste is very good, and people can't help but eat a few more bites." ”

"Delicious!" Li Lizhen's eyes lit up, and she stretched out her chopsticks towards the hot pot again.

This made Cao Ze a little surprised.

This little girl is actually a spicy eater, yes!

After a brief period of discomfort, everyone continued to eat happily.

Li Shimin's meal is called a pleasure!

There are only two words left in my head.

It smells so good!

Although this hot pot looks similar to the way to eat mandarin duck pot, it is far more delicious than mandarin duck pot!

And the chili pepper thing is really amazing!

Although there is a coal stove in the house, it will take a little time to dispel the chill on your body.

But after just a few bites, my body warmed up from the inside out.

I'm even starting to sweat!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin was immediately stunned.

Then Li Shimin subconsciously looked at Cheng Yanjin.

For many years, there is no need to say much about the tacit understanding.

When they look at each other, they understand what they are thinking.

This chili is not just delicious!

In the past, when soldiers fought in winter, many of them did not die in battle but froze to death!

Even if they didn't freeze to death, there were many people who fell into a lot of problems.

If you have this pepper, wouldn't sending troops in winter greatly improve the chances of survival for the soldiers?!

At worst, it's a stutter, and if it's bigger, it's an armament reserve!

"Immortal Master." Thinking of this, Li Shimin spoke: "I wonder if this chili pepper can be sold?" ”

Cao Zele was happy.

Look at the trouble.

I just wanted to treat you to something delicious, and you talked to me about the deal.

I Cao someone looks like some kind of profiteer......

Of course.

Since you are so eager to buy it, I naturally don't want to spoil you, right?

"Of course." Cao Ze smiled and nodded: "Ten pennies a catty, how much do you want." ”

Although he knew that it was no problem for the price to be a little higher, Cao Ze still didn't open his mouth.

How can I say that he and Lao Li are also their own people, how can I, Cao, pit my own brothers?

So-so to make a little difference, the meaning is on the line.

Thinking of this, Cao Ze sighed in his heart.

I'm still too soft-hearted after all......

Not to be a merchant......

……

"It's so cheap?" Li Shimin and the others were immediately stunned: "Isn't this how ordinary people can afford to eat?" ”

They have experienced the benefits of chili peppers, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are a luxury spice.

And spices have always been something that only the rich can afford.

If it costs ten pennies a pound, ordinary people can afford it completely.

After all, this thing is not used as a staple food, and it can be eaten for a long time.

If so, wouldn't it be possible to use it for disaster relief?

Or will the people have another means of heating in the future?

This is not only for the army, but also for the people of Datang!
