Chapter 68: Ulterior Thoughts
The bottom of the pot was tumbling, and all kinds of ingredients were rising and falling in the pot, wafting out a big white gas.
Both of them were sweating a little on their foreheads, Lin Luo wiped the sweat on his forehead with a tissue, and handed Jiang Li another one, "Here, wipe the sweat on your head... Do you want a bowl? ”
"Bowl?"
"Tahini or something like that, it can enrich the flavor."
Jiang Li shook his head slightly, "No need, it's quite flavorful." ”
"It's tasteful... That's delicious, isn't it? ”
"That's good, no wonder you have a preference for this hot pot when you are in Daqi."
"It's not my preference, it's actually cooking over there.... In addition to stewing and boiling, there are too few patterns and seasonings, and I can't even find cumin when I want to eat a barbecue. ”
It's miserable enough to cross into a eunuch, losing the most important form of entertainment, in addition to status, money and power, you can also covet a tongue.
But the diet 1,400 years ago was too much, not to mention the lack of many seasonings, there was not even a wok, and the cooking guy was still the kind of thing like a ding, the scientific name is kettle.
He couldn't even satisfy his appetite, and Lin Luo didn't know how he survived.
It's better to be modern, nothing else is left to rest for the time being, just talking about food, compared with the ancient times more than a thousand years ago, it is simply the days of the gods.
Hearing this, Jiang Li suddenly thought of something, and then frowned and asked: "So what kind of Silk Road did you make at the beginning, and sent people across the Western Regions to establish diplomatic relations with those states and trade with them.
Actually, it's for cumin? Is it to satisfy your tongue? ”
Lin Luo took the chopsticks in his hand, looked up and said, "Am I doing it for the country and the people?" They don't have silk and porcelain on our side, and they can't make them if they want to.
In today's terms, it's cutting-edge technology, stuck in their necks, and they can only come to us if they want to.
Those Hu businessmen came all the way over, and they could earn a tenfold and hundredfold difference by buying them back and selling them, and the money was all made by them, so why don't we make it ourselves? ”
Jiang Li looked at him with distrust, "Really?" ”
This look made Lin Luo very hurt, "What? Do you doubt my noble sentiments for the country and the people? ”
“.......”
Jiang Li didn't answer, just looked at him quietly through the steaming heat of the hot pot.
Through a layer of white mist, Lin Luo felt as if her eyes were dyed with an inexplicable meaning, although she didn't say anything, she seemed to have said everything.
After staring at each other for a while, he chose to give in, "Okay, I admit that I am for cumin, to satisfy my tongue."
But I'm also trying to trade and replenish the treasury, and the two don't conflict, do they? ”
It's true that there is no conflict, but you still lied to me.
Jiang Li twitched his nose, very angry in his heart.
This bastard... Not only in modern times, as early as the time of Great Qi, he had already begun to deceive me and ignore my trust in vain.
And they all use the same number of ways.
With high-sounding reasons, he held the banner of serving the country and the people, so as to hide his true intentions.
For example, this inter-market trade, what opens up trade routes, enriches the treasury, and uses trade to probe the reality of other countries, so as to wait for the opportunity of our dynasty.
first seek its wealth, take its benefits, eliminate the advantages of the other, and then follow the royal road to make it submit to our dynasty; If the royal road is not possible, just wait for the good opportunity to come, and then take the military road, so that the land where my great Qi national prestige is raised will be far away from the great Han....
That's a good point, that impassioned face seems to be still in front of you, but it's all a lie to her, who would have thought that this guy was actually for the sake of being able to sprinkle cumin when he was barbecing.
Now in modern times, it is even more excessive, although there is no banner for the country and the people, but the high-sounding excuse is still easy to come by, in order to cover up his unspeakable and obscene thoughts.
And this nasty mind is still coming at me, what a bastard.
Lin Luo didn't know what she was thinking, so she picked up the remaining ingredients and put them in the pot, put some into the red soup pot, and was about to put them in the clear soup pot, but she saw that there was still a lot of tumbling there.
"Hurry up over there, I can't serve you if I want to, let's get the meat rolls first, this can't be cooked for too long."
“.... Well. ”
Jiang Li hummed from his nose, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables in the pot.
Lin Luo felt a sense of sorrow when he heard this soft voice, "What's wrong, why are you suddenly unhappy?" ”
“......”
Jiang Li didn't want to pay attention to him, over there, she, as an emperor, was bullied by this dog minion.
Here she sent people under the fence, lost her identity as the emperor, and this dog thing was no longer a eunuch, so she put those obscene thoughts on her.
He actually had the face to ask himself why he was upset?
"If you put away your ulterior thoughts, I will be happy."
Lin Luo blinked and asked with a confused expression, "What ulterior thoughts?" ”
The mind is there, but if you add an ulterior prefix, he doesn't recognize it, although he is greedy for you, but how can this be called an ulterior, I am above board.
No problem.
"Do you want to add some more dishes? Lamb rolls, beef rolls or something? ”
"No, I'm almost full."
"That's full?"
"Hmm."
"Okay." Lin Luo didn't say much, the emperor's appetite was really not big, and he originally planned to take her to eat the buffet, but fortunately he didn't go, otherwise he would have been designated to die.
"Then you can drink some Coke and wait for me for a while, I'll scoop up the rest of the vegetables in the pot, by the way, let's go to the supermarket when we go back and buy some brown sugar and red dates."
"What are you buying these for?"
"When the weather is cold, brown sugar and red dates are boiled with some ginger to ward off the cold."
"It's autumn now, and you're going to start warming off the cold?"
"It's been raining lately, and it's the flu-prone season, so it's easy to get a chill, so you have to drink some of this to drive away the cold."
For the sake of the emperor's decency, Lin Luo came up with a reason to deal with this matter, and remembered something, so he said:
"That's... Just go back to my house, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, I checked it on my phone, there was no rain in the Mid-Autumn Festival for a few days, and it was a day of reunion, let's go back to the Mid-Autumn Festival, what do you say? ”
"Whatever you want."
Since she has agreed to this matter, Jiang Li has no intention of objecting, but she checked it on the Internet, under normal circumstances, if couples feel that the other party is not suitable, they can break up in one to two months, and it can be shorter, no more than three months at the latest.
Speaking of what kind of hormone it is, dopamine secretion will only last for three months, and the freshness of love will wear off or something.
Inexplicably, she didn't understand much, but it was a month or two, and now it's only a finger, and it seems that it's almost a month.
That's the latest.... Wait a little longer and then we can break up.
Perhaps?
Jiang Li was a little uncertain in her heart, she always felt that it might not be so easy for her to break up.
