"Strategist, good writing!" Fang Qi heard Lu Chen's "Go Now", and directly slapped it with a sycophant, and gave Lu Chen a thumbs up.

"As if you understand!" Meng Ji rolled his eyes directly at Fang Qi and scolded.

"Just because I don't understand, I admire the military advisor, who has both civil and military skills!" Fang Qi looked shameless, and said with a blind eye to Meng Ji's eyes.

"Old Fang, how did I find out that your sycophant kung fu is becoming more and more exquisite?" Lu Chen also teased Fang Qi playfully.

Lu Chen said on his lips, but he secretly complained in his heart: "Wen Cai is a chicken, Lao Tzu is plagiarism!" But I still feel dark in my heart, although I feel a little sorry for the national hero Comrade Qi Jiguang.

"You have wronged my old man, and it is guilty of not accepting the master! Strategist, you are the master in my heart! Fang Qi still said with a shy face.

"Gotcha! Don't talk about it, I'm getting goosebumps! Lu Chen has also let down his guard against Fang Qi now, judging from the observation during this time, Fang Qi sincerely wants to befriend him, and has no other ideas.

Just when the three of them were funny, Li Xiuning came back riding a jade lion.

turned over and dismounted, handed the reins of the jade lion to Ye Zhu, and then walked quickly to Lu Chen's side, and Lu Chen and the others hurriedly stepped forward.

"Dashuai, is there anything inappropriate?" Lu Chen looked at Li Xiuning and asked.

"There is no discomfort, sir, what you have done is really surprising to Ben Shuai!" Li Xiuning looked at the saddle on the jade lion and couldn't help but admire.

"There is no discomfort, so I can rest assured! The rest of the work here can be handed over to the craftsmen, and then I will retire first! Lu Chen said that he left the barracks accompanied by Fang Qi and others, while Li Xiuning continued to inspect the barracks.

Back in Lu Chen's courtyard, Lu Chen directly called Liu Laosan.

"Third child, you help me build an iron pot! Dog, go get me some mutton fat! Lu Chen entered the small courtyard and told Liu Laosan to prepare to work, the reason why he was looking for mutton fat, Lu Chen was preparing for stir-frying, the cooking method of this era was still in the era of "steaming", "boiling", and "baking", and the iron pot in the big family was mostly used to cook rice and the like, and there were basically few stir-fried vegetables, as for the warehouse, there were also peanut oil, rapeseed oil, soybean oil, but if Lu Chen took out these things now, first, he couldn't tell the source of these things; Second, if it is burned as a demon, what will it be? So Lu Chen was going to stir-fry vegetables with mutton fat.

Did the Tang Dynasty have an iron pot? Yes, and the iron pot first appeared in the Han Dynasty, but most of them were only available in the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles, and now Lu Chen is in the barracks, where to get an iron pot, so Lu Chen can only let Liu Laosan build an iron pot.

Liu Laosan will not build an iron pot, the answer is yes, after all, before joining the army, he made a living by striking iron at home, and there were high-ranking families who wanted to build iron pots, and he had also encountered it, so Liu Laosan was ordered to leave Lu Chen's small courtyard and go to the blacksmith workshop in the military camp, as for the task of finding mutton fat, it was naturally handed over to Liu Jing.

At this time, Lu Chen's courtyard was left alone except for the guards standing guard at the door, Lu Chen sat down on a stool in the courtyard boredly, thinking about going to Liu Heimin, according to his historical knowledge, another month, it should be the time for Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to face off against Jieli Khan.

In October of the fifth year of Wude, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng attacked Jieli Khan on both sides, and then Li Zihe and Duan Decao would cut off Jieli Khan's back road, and then Li Yuan sent Zheng Yuanshou, a big fool, to retreat Jieli Khan.

However, in this period of time, Liu Heimin did not sit still, but would attack Weizhou frantically, but Tian Liu'an, the defender of Weizhou, was a ruthless man, and he had been withstanding Liu Heimin's attack until Li Jiancheng entered Changle.

Lu Chen was gesturing on the ground, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind, what if he went to attack Liu Heimin and at the same time let Li Xiuning divide his troops to raid Changle? Since Li Jiancheng can "do the first evil and never ask", why can't Li Xiuning?

If there was no battle against Liu Heimin, wouldn't Li Xiuning have died? Lu Chen threw down the branch, erased what he had written and drawn on the ground with his foot, and made a decision in his heart.

At this moment, Liu Laosan walked in from outside with a black iron pot, followed by Liu Jing holding a clay pot.

"Your Excellency, what you want is ready!" Looking at Lu Chen, who was sitting in the courtyard, Liu Laosan hurriedly walked over with an iron pot, "My lord, do you think it's suitable?" Liu Laosan put the iron pot in front of Lu Chen and let Lu Chen check it.

Lu Chen looked at the iron pot, although it was a little different from the iron pot in later generations, but it could also be used improvised, as for the kitchen utensils, Lu Chen was ready to find time for Liu Laosan to build a set.

"My lord, do you think this mutton fat is suitable?" Liu Jing also opened the clay pot, and there was about one-third of the pot of mutton fat inside.

Lu Chen looked at the mutton fat, then stretched his neck to smell it, and then nodded after confirming that it was the mutton fat, and asked Liu Jing to send it to the kitchen.

"My lord, where is this iron pot?" Liu Laosan looked at Lu Chen and asked.

"Put it on the stove in the kitchen!" Lu Chen took Liu Laosan to the kitchen, Liu Laosan was carrying an iron pot, but when he came in, he found that the iron pot was much bigger than the stove, and there was no choice but to expand it.

Lu Chen commanded Liu Laosan and Liu Jing to re-expand the stove, and then installed the iron pot on the stove, in fact, this is also because the kitchen here was built by the villagers with stones in the past, so it is easy to expand.

Lu Chen asked Liu Jing to bring a bucket of water over and scrub the iron pot, while Liu Laosan lit a fire under the stove and boiled a pot of boiling water.

Although there is no stir-fry in this era, there are spalatures, and large families use iron spatulas, like Lu Chen, the aborigines of this house, use wooden spatulas, anyway, there is a spatula, otherwise Lu Chen really went outside to carve one.

When waiting for the iron pot to boil water, Lu Chen asked Liu Jing to pick and wash the Siong (pronounced the same as "pine", which is the predecessor of modern cabbage), and Lu Chen was going to make two dishes at noon today, one "fried cabbage with mutton" and one "fried mutton with green onions".

When the hot water in the iron pot was scooped out, Lu Chen began to boil the pot, first put a little mutton fat to melt, and then put the chopped green onions, ginger and garlic into the pot, accompanied by the sound of "stinging", the fragrance of the pot suddenly permeated the kitchen, and along the doors and windows of the kitchen, it also drifted out of the small courtyard.
