Chapter 15: A Sumptuous and Unpalatable Imperial Meal

Xiucai met Bing, and it was unreasonable.

In the past, Li Shimin himself led troops to fight, and his understanding of this sentence was not very profound.

But now, he understood why those civil servants hated the generals so much.

Lu Heng, this kid, is completely like a guy from a general's nest!

To say that he deliberately put eye medicine on himself, no.

People seem to be talking from the bottom of their hearts.

can be choked inexplicably, this breath, Li Shimin is really a little unable to swallow!

And he had long known that Lu Heng was a fool, and it was not appropriate to punish him now.

It's hard!

I held it for a long time.

Li Shimin sighed and said helplessly:

"In that case, I will believe what you say for the time being."

"Now, Lu Heng, have you brought all the refined salt you have made into the palace?"

"The pharmacist only presented a small part before, and apart from the taste, I don't see anything unusual."

Lu Heng slapped his thigh.

On the spot, he took out a bag from his bosom and put it on the low table.

He smiled confidently:

"Your Majesty, here is all the refined salt made by the grass people from a piece of salt ore."

"Oh, the size you told me to put at the door."

Follow Lu Heng's gaze.

Li Shimin looked at the pile of pots and pans at the door.

Among them, there is really a piece of salt ore, which is placed in the pot!

He turned his head slowly, looking at the bag on the low table.

This can't be called a bag anymore.

It's clearly a huge cloth bag!

"One piece of salt ore can make so much salt?"

Li Shimin was stunned and said:

"Is that true?!"

Lu Heng pursed his lips.

I knew that His Majesty Li Er would not believe it.

He pointed to the doorway and said:

"If you don't believe me, you can demonstrate the whole process in person."

While saying that, Lu Heng, who has a strong sense of action, is actually ready to do it directly!

Li Shimin hurriedly stopped.

Look at this battle, this pile of tools, if you really make salt in the Liangyi Hall later, I'm afraid that the whole hall will be full of smoke and miasma.

There are no chimneys or stoves!

In the past, who the hell dared to light a fire in the Liangyi Hall to cook? I don't want to live!

"There's no hurry, there's no hurry."

His Majesty Li Er said with a pleasant face:

"Lu Heng, I summoned you at this point because of your meritorious contribution to the salt making recipe, and I will give you a special reward for the imperial meal."

"Come, eat first, and other things can be discussed tomorrow."

"I don't know much about technical things, but I just summoned someone from the Ministry of Engineering to come in tomorrow, and I can explain it in detail while watching!"

Now Lu Heng understood.

Speaking of which, it's not that you don't believe in yourself?

Laymen look at the excitement, insiders look at the doorway, Li Shimin understands this truth very well, and he is also very good at knowing people and doing their jobs.

Therefore, once he encounters a technical problem such as salt making, he will not decide by himself, but will not move first, and wait for professionals like the Ministry of Industry to come and judge together.

Lu Heng felt very novel.

In my previous life, it was a great blessing to be able to meet this kind of Party A who did not speak indiscriminately!

"The grass people get it."

Lu Heng grinned and said:

"But this imperial meal...... Can you eat it again tomorrow? ”

Li Shimin was stunned at that time.

Throughout the ages, this has been a way for the Son of Heaven to show favor.

Since his accession to the throne, no one has been so bold as to refuse the royal meal he has given!

He was about to get angry.

Suddenly I remembered that the young man in front of me had a very simple personality, and there was a reason for refusing.

"Then you tell me, why don't you want to dine with me tonight?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice:

"Could it be that you dislike the food in the palace is not delicious?"

Lu Heng wanted to say yes, I'm just afraid that the imperial food in your palace is similar to that outside.

But he thought about itβ€”

The skills of the imperial chef in the palace must be stronger than that outside, so how can you be an imperial chef?

If it's really delicious, it won't be a blood loss!

"Your Majesty, that's not what the grass people meant."

Lu Heng arched his hand:

"It's just that because of the head injury, after the doctors saw it, they all told them to eat lightly, so they were a little worried."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's face finally softened.

And he said.

If it weren't for force majeure, who would have refused to have dinner with him?

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand generously and said:

"It's okay, my diet is not very greasy, and you should eat well for today's dinner."

Sure enough.

After only a while, a succession of palace people came in from outside, each holding the pot and chopsticks in their hands.

The battle is extraordinary.

But after it was fully placed, Lu Heng found out.

It's so grand.

It turned out that there were only four or five dishes, plus a pot of soup!!

He stared solemnly at the largest plate.

It's actually grilled fish inside!

Li Shimin beckoned with great interest:

"I heard that you grilled a fish by the river, and everyone who has eaten it is full of praise."

"Come on, come on, try what I made in the Imperial Kitchen, it's better than how you bake it!"

Lu Heng looked at the grilled fish in front of him, his face was like ashes.

After doing it for a long time, it turned out that His Majesty Li Er refused to admit defeat and felt that the imperial kitchen was the best in the world.

But grilled fish either put only salt, highlighting a fresh word.

Either it's heavy oil, heavy spicy, heavy taste, and the food is refreshing.

The things in front of you are so delicate and gorgeously arranged, the salt is not good, and the other flavors can't cover it.

This plate of grilled fish will definitely not taste good!

After tasting this dish, Lu Heng was finally convinced of his thoughts.

It's fucking unpalatable!!

"Boy, why do you look so weird?"

Li Shimin frowned:

"Do you think this grilled fish is hard to eat?"

Lu Heng shook his head.

His Majesty Li Er's tone became gentle again, and he said:

"So, is it because your body is not comfortable, so you can't get used to eating?"

Lu Heng shook his head again, and then, he endured the discomfort, stretched out his chopsticks and tasted a few other steamed dishes.

A few seconds passed.

I saw Lu Heng's complexion change.

Wow!

I retched straight away!

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily:

"Lu Heng, what do you mean!"

"You can't eat the food in this palace at all, right?!"

Lu Heng waved his hand weakly, and while swinging, he was still gagging.

He had a bit of a concussion.

I don't know what Li Shimin thinks, but he clearly said it at the beginning, and the doctor's advice said to eat lighter.

The dishes, in addition to the grilled fish, are the flavorful mutton.

There are also sweet and greasy sweets, as well as indescribable dishes that have been boiled into a mush.

The skills of the imperial chef in the palace are no different from the chefs hired by the Lu family!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's like that, Your Majesty. ”

After vomiting for a long time, Lu Heng finally recovered.

He said weakly:

"Otherwise, you let the imperial chef take care of the dishes first, and I'll go directly to the imperial dining room to cook."

"In front of me, the grass people are really dizzy and can't eat it!"
