Chapter 40: Hot Pot

Xiang Qingfeng had two elder brothers, who were deeply loved by Emperor Renxuan, and both were strong contenders for the throne.

One of them, named Xiang Baichuan, takes the meaning of the sea and all rivers, and has the wind of a king!

It was given by Emperor Renxuan himself, which shows its dignity.

In comparison, Xiang Qingfeng is much worse.

Normally, the prince is crowned at the age of twenty.

And when he was only nineteen, he was driven out of Kyoto and went to the fiefdom.

Even, if it weren't for his mother's concubine to operate from it, I'm afraid that it would not be possible to be crowned king.

Therefore, under such a psychological gap, he didn't have much covetousness for that position.

However, he was not willing to do so.

He wanted to make some achievements, so that his father would know that he was also a son of the Xiang family, a descendant of Emperor Taizu Gao, and by no means a cowardly and rigid person!

The Xiang family built a country with a bow and a horse!

At that time, Emperor Taizu Gao Xiang Canglan led the 8,000 children of the Xiang family to raise troops in the east of the Canglan River.

After decades of fighting in the south and the north, he has never been defeated.

In the end, the eastern territory was laid, and the country was established as Qian!

It's a pity that later Da Yan and Da Liang have successively produced capable people.

However, Daqian coincided with the faint monarch and lost a lot of territory.

As a result, today's East is in a three-legged state.

Including in the past few decades, the great cadres have also been in a state of decline among the three kingdoms.

If it weren't for Emperor Renxuan's martial arts, he could be called a generation of Ming Jun and stopped this decline.

I'm afraid I'll lose a lot of territory.

Anyway, the Xiang family built a country with a bow and a horse.

Now is the time to bow and horse!

So Xiang Qingfeng urinated to practice riding and shooting, and explored the art of war.

After coming to Huainan to become a vassal domain, he ignored the situation of the domain, but devoted himself to the military camp and trained the elite soldiers.

In order to be able to lead troops into the army when Daqian and Dayan were at war, and show their abilities to their father.

It's also good that the mother concubine can be in a better situation in that harem, and she will be less cold-eyed.

But as a prince, he is the lord of a domain.

Bow horses are important, and people's hearts are even more important.

It is indeed biased to favor Sun Imperial Chef in this way in front of the public.

So in the face of Xiang Zhirou's inquiry, he nodded quietly and agreed.

Tenglong Restaurant has been served, so naturally it is Feihong's turn.

It's just that this time Feihong served the food not covered with a white cloth, but presented it in front of everyone's eyes.

I saw that the little guy was holding the dinner plate quite hard, and there was a small metal pot on the plate.

Slightly peculiarly, there is also an S-shape in the middle of this small pot, which divides it into two areas.

One of the areas is red, and chili peppers are faintly visible floating in it.

The other piece is much lighter, white, with more mushrooms floating.

Soon, the small pot was placed in front of King Jing and everyone on the table.

"It's... What is this? King Jing obviously hadn't seen this thing, so he asked.

"Back to Your Highness, this is a hot pot."

"Hot pot? Where is the fire? ”

"Your Highness, wait a minute."

I saw Gu Beichuan step forward, take out a piece of solid concentrated alcohol from his sleeve, and throw it into the dark groove under the small pot.

Then take out the match, light it, and throw it in.

Sure enough, the alcohol caught fire and soon boiled the soup in the pot.

This solid alcohol is a new product that Gu Beichuan asked Feihong Liquor Shop to make overnight in order to cook hot pot. Now it seems that it worked well.

This seemed like a normal scene to Gu Beichuan, but it really stunned everyone present.

"Gu... Brother Gu Xian, what is this? Why did the fire start for no reason? Qin Xiuwen asked, pointing to the burning solid alcohol.

"Brother Qin, this is wine!"

"Wine?" When the drunkard on the side heard that there was wine, he became interested: "The wine is clear, if it is flowing water, how can it be like a lump?" Don't fool my old man. ”

"Mr. Drunkard laughed, this wine is not the other wine."

"Ordinary drinks are only 12/12 strong, which can satisfy the appetite of the tongue."

"The concentration of this wine is close to 10%, and it can be sterilized by soaking it in water. If you light it with fire, it will burn instantly, and the two cannot be the same. ”

Mr. Drunkard frowned and said, "I don't understand this, I just ask you, if you use this wine pimple to soak in water, will it taste good?" ”

Gu Beichuan was stunned by the question, and said, "It's not a question of whether it's good or not, it's the kind of... That kind of very..."

After searching his intestines and scraping his stomach for a long time, Gu Beichuan chose to give up.

He really didn't know how to explain the difference between solid alcohol and ordinary alcohol in terms that the ancients could understand.

So I had to answer honestly: "It doesn't taste good." ”

Hearing this, Mr. Drunkard had no choice but to smile bitterly.

"But when you eat hot pot, you should drink alcohol."

"Feihong Restaurant has specially prepared four famous wines in Huainan for you, Fubo, and the wine."

Hearing this, Fu Bo hurriedly walked out with the wine.

Suddenly, the rich aroma of wine filled the entire seat.

Mr. Drunkard can't wait to stand up and chant a masterpiece of landscape in a loud voice.

It's a pity that King Jing is still present now, so he must not be too presumptuous.

But this wine still made his saliva secrete, and his index finger moved.

"I have long heard that there are four famous wines in Huainan, but I didn't have the opportunity to taste them, and today I finally got what I wanted, and I was lucky."

Next, Gu Beichuan instructed Fu Bo to serve hot pot ingredients for King Jing and everyone, and introduced four kinds of wine.

The others listened patiently, but Mr. Drunkard couldn't wait, grabbed the wine jug directly, and drank it heroically.

After drinking, he praised loudly: "Good wine, really good wine!" ”

"The old man has never drunk such good wine!"

"You little brother, you are really a wonderful person, no wonder Brother Qin values you so much."

Hearing this, except for Qin Xiuwen, everyone was surprised.

You know, Mr. Drunkard's requirements for drinks are ridiculously high.

If it's not a famous wine, never drink it!

In his early years, his family was even wealthier, so he drank countless famous wines.

What kind of magic is there in these four wines that can make Wen Ruo praise so much.

And after everyone drank one after another, they were convinced, and what Wen Ruo said was true.

Even after King Jing finished drinking, he couldn't help but praise: "Even if it's a palace wine, it's nothing more than that." ”

Zhao Tenglong and others under the high stage saw this scene, and their eyes were cracked!

You must know that the reason why they were suppressed so badly by Feihong Restaurant is that the four famous wines.

It's okay to go, why do you want to press me with the four famous wines today?

Isn't it said that good is better than cooking? You Feihong Restaurant doesn't talk about martial arts. Gu Beichuan is really inhuman!

After the ingredients were ready, King Jing asked, "How to eat this hot pot?" ”

"Your Highness put the ingredients in the pot, steam them for a while until they are cooked through, and then take them out and eat them."

"Oh? This way of eating is very novel. ”

After speaking, King Jing picked up a piece of meat and put it in the pot.

After a few moments, the strips of meat have been steamed until white.

King Jing took it out, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

But just by chewing a few times, King Jing's face changed.
