Chapter 398: A New Deal Comes
Han King Li Yuanchang trembled like chaff, hugged Li Yuanying's leg and cried: "Fifth brother, fifth brother, you didn't tell the second brother, right?" Please, don't tell the second brother, I really didn't mean to, I just gave my nephew a book playmate, I ......"
Syllable! Li Yuanying slapped him hard, this time without mercy, and the corner of Li Yuanchang's mouth was bleeding, and a red slap mark appeared on his face.
"This slap teaches you a lesson. Only once! If you dare to do it again, no one will be able to save you. Although you are a bastard, you are a child of the royal family after all, even if you are lazy and inactive, you should know the importance of the royal family, and there is no trivial matter in the royal family. If you dare to do bad things, you will lose your head sooner or later. ”
"Yes, yes, what the fifth brother taught me is that the younger brother should keep it in mind, and he must change his mind and dare not do it again." Li Yuanchang vigorously admitted his mistake, "Ahem, fifth brother, if it is, if it is fine, the younger brother will retire first......"
"Huh? Walk? Where to go? Li Yuanying glared at the other party, and Li Yuanchang's mind went blank in fright.
"You kid is really useless, the ingredients are here, didn't you say that you will eat fresh together? Leaving before the meal is cooked? Wait, I'll go cook, eat and go! It just so happens that I have a good idea, and I have to send you to do it after dinner. ”
Yes, everything is up to the fifth brother, and I will do whatever you ask me to do.
The smart Feng Zhidai lowered his eyebrows and didn't say a word the whole time, although he wanted to laugh at King Han's waste in his heart, but reason told himself that it was best for him not to be present for this kind of royal secret, but since he caught up, he had to pretend not to see it.
If you dare to laugh out loud, if one is not good, you will be hated by Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, although this goods are wasted in front of the King of Qin, but out of the palace of the King of Qin, in front of others, it is the Prince of the Tang Dynasty who shouts five and six, who dares to offend?
In the kitchen, Fang Yiai was studying the recipe, and when he saw the second junior brother coming in with a large piece of ingredients, the master followed behind with a dark face, and asked puzzledly, "Master, such a big piece of meat?" It doesn't look like pork or lamb......"
"What? Big brother doesn't recognize this either? No, you are known as the god of Chang'an kitchen. Feng Zhidai asked in surprise: "I thought I didn't recognize it because I couldn't cook, but I didn't expect you to recognize it either." This is beef, and Master said it was the best cultivated beef and flower meat. ”
What??
Beef?
Fang Yiai covered her mouth in surprise, "No, Master, is this really beef?" Killing cattle in the Tang Dynasty is a serious crime, you, haven't you always taught us that you don't know the law and break the law? ”
"Hehe, of course I know, but I didn't expect that you, the son of the prime minister, didn't even recognize you, could it be that you haven't eaten beef?" Li Yuanying asked curiously.
Fang Yiai shook her head for a while, "No." Although the disciple likes to tinker with food since he was a child, killing cattle is a felony in Datang, and my father is very strict in his education, so I have never touched beef. I heard that there were people in the Chang'an black market who traded privately, but I never dared to go. ”
Li Yuanying patted this honest apprentice on the shoulder and praised: "Yes, it's rare that you can stick to your principles." This beef was brought by the King of Han, and it was said to be the meat of a cow with a broken leg, which was not considered a violation of the rules. ”
"Huh? Broken leg? King Han? Could it be that he interrupted......"
Before Fang Er finished speaking, he was pushed by Feng Zhidai and reminded, don't say anything about this kind of thing.
Speaking of Li Yuanchang, Li Yuanying's face was slightly cold, "Hmph, this kid usually doesn't dare to deceive me." Don't mention him, it's rare to meet. This beef was originally a high-quality ingredient, and it was often used for sacrifices in ancient times, and it was originally cooked with beef. But in my Datang, out of the protection of the cultivated cattle and for the sake of food, a strict ban was issued.
Today I will teach you a few famous dishes related to beef, maybe when it will be said in the future, killing cattle is not prohibited, you can use it. ”
Fang Er muttered: "Killing cattle is not forbidden? How is this possible? ”
Li Yuanying did not explain, but skillfully began to process the ingredients and carefully explained the cooking.
The most common types of beef are sauced beef, spiced braised beef, potato roast beef, stewed beef brisket with tomatoes and potatoes, various stir-stir-fries, etc., as well as steak and the like. Because of time constraints, Li Yuanying did not make sauced beef and braised beef this time, but he also skillfully made a whole beef banquet with more than a dozen dishes on the table.
"Wow...... It smells so good! Daddy, you actually cooked it yourself, and you didn't send anyone to inform me, what is this delicious? I almost missed it. "As soon as Xiao Doudou, who was playing outside, came home and smelled the fragrance and came to the kitchen.
The last beef ball soup came out of the pot, and Li Yuanying said with a smile: "You know crazy running all day long, where can I find you?" When you catch up, wash your hands and get ready to eat. ”
At a family banquet, Li Yuanying's family was full of praise and aftertaste, but Li Yuanchang, the king of the Han Dynasty, was full of bitterness, and he was careful to just hold a small chopstick in each dish.
After eating, in the living room, Li Yuanying took Li Yuanchang to drink tea, and Feng Zhidai accompanied him.
"Fifth, fifth brother, I don't know what you are looking for your younger brother? If yes, if it's okay, I, I want to go back. ”
Li Yuanying glanced at the other party, and said angrily: "Look at your cowardly appearance, where is the prestige of showing off your power outside, dominating the situation, and bullying men and women?" ”
"Ahem, no, where do I dare?" Li Yuanchang cautiously glanced outside the living room.
I understand, this is a real nemesis who is afraid, a little pocket known as the nemesis of Chang'an, I didn't expect that even this cheap seventh uncle could be calm, well, yes, yes, worthy of being my Li Yuanying's baby daughter!
Li Yuanying waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's be more restrained in the future, just don't bully the people." I left you behind because I was too idle and was ready to find you something to do. Over the years, there has been no shortage of disasters to the people's cattle farming, right? You know a lot about beef, don't you? ”
"Ahem, don't hide it from the fifth brother, in terms of understanding beef, in this Chang'an City, my seventh brother can be called the second, and no one dares to ...... Ah, no, no, I don't have the fifth brother, I really don't have any calamities to the people, I, I have all paid for it. At most, at most, I give less, and then sell it to make a little money, I ......"
Li Yuanchang couldn't go on, he was about to cry when asked, and his heart said that he was dizzy, why did he pour everything out? Now that the calf is finished, I can't hide it, the fifth brother will definitely pick my skin!
Listening to the self-description of this product, I know that there is a lot of content in it, and the fire that Li Yuanying has just extinguished is about to be unable to suppress it in an instant. But seeing the slap marks on the other party's face that had not yet disappeared, he shook his head with a wry smile, "You guy, if you are not a royal disciple, you won't kill much!" This prince's name, given to you, is harmful to you. ”
"I ...... I...... Fifth brother, I was wrong, I don't dare to ...... again"
"That's it! Go back and take out half of your property, and compensate the people whom you have brought to you all these years. I will send Dali Temple and Xuanjia Army to supervise, if you dare to make any mistakes, I will throw you to the north to join the army. ”
"Huh? Army? Don't......"
Li Yuanying really wanted to cover her face, "Enough!" Now let's get down to business. Since you know so much about beef, it's just right to go to Youzhou for me and contact the Khitan, Ya and other tribes. Tell them that this king likes to eat beef, and that it is of the best freshness.
You go to represent the Qin Wangfu and purchase a batch back, if you can, it is best to negotiate a long-term purchase plan. If you do a good job at this time, you will be counted as a great achievement, and the punishment for the mistakes you have made can be reduced as appropriate. ”
"Huh? Buy, buy beef? Or is it fresh? This, this can't be done, fifth brother! Li Yuanchang was very embarrassed.
