Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 318 Datang's Best Eater
Prince Li Jiancheng was very unhappy when he heard Qin Wang Li Shimin say good things about Liumu.

"Bold and reckless, if you don't punish him, you will pay back in the future." Prince Li Jiancheng said politely, and then said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, the emperor said to deal cards, what do you mean by holding down the cards?"

"Shut up." Li Yuan shouted coldly, then pointed at Liu Mu: "Xiao Mu, Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette, you must give me an explanation."

There was no tension on Liu Mu's face.

After Liu Mu's man came in with three trays, Liu Mu pulled back the brocade cloth on the first tray, but there were some black paper-like things.

China does not produce kelp originally, and kelp is native to Hokkaido and the northern part of the Korean Peninsula.

"Father, this item is called kelp. It is one of the items purchased by Silla and Tamra. In fact, this item has been tested in Wenyue Pavilion and has also been supplied to the palace. I purchased it in large quantities. It's not for the taste, but to alleviate the big neck disease in many places in Tang Dynasty, eat this food, and you won't have big neck disease again."

Li Yuan didn't know much about these things.

Xiao Yu understood, and immediately said: "Sage, the big neck disease is the most serious in the Bashu area, followed by Suzhou to the northwest, and also in Guanzhong. The doctor suggested eating some dried shrimps, but poor people can't afford it."

After hearing this, the cloud on Li Yuan's face disappeared in an instant, and he smiled immediately: "I'm happy again because this matter has been done well. Then tell me, what is the price of this thing?"

"It grows in sea water, at least a few feet deep. Naturally, you can't get it with poor water quality. There is a wharf in Jiaozhou, and the price is exchanged for one and a half catties of miscellaneous grains. Father, you have eaten seaweed soup. It's very delicious." Liu Mu explained.

Li Yuan nodded: "It seems to have been drunk, not bad."

Willow opened the second tray, which was just black and dry worms.Li Jiancheng seemed to want to speak, but seeing Li Shimin's indifferent smile, he felt more and more uncomfortable, so he gritted his teeth and did not speak.

"Father, this is sea cucumber, ginseng in the sea. It tastes sweet and salty, nourishes the kidneys, benefits the essence, absorbs urine, strengthens yang and treats impotence. It’s dangerous, but those who live on the island are more accustomed to the sea and those who fish are better.”

Li Yuan took a closer look and didn't feel anything magical.

Liu Mu had been prepared for a long time, and a person came in immediately, bringing several sea cucumbers with scallions, which were steaming hot.

"Father, the treasure of prolonging life."

"Not bad, very delicious." Li Yuan laughed heartily after tasting it, and then motioned to share the food with the important ministers.

The last taste is still edible.

abalone.

"Father, the crown of the eight treasures of the sea. I'm not afraid that you will be angry, my father. This is specially found by my ministers for Chang Ping to taste. This..." Liu Mu's face flushed slightly.

Li Yuan laughed loudly: "Chang'an City Shengchuan, your name is Liu Xianzi, I know, I know. Hahaha."

At this time, Li Shimin asked, "Xiaomu, what is Haibazhen?"

"Second brother, the eight treasures should be in no particular order, but I personally prefer abalone. The eight treasures are: abalone, ginseng, wings, bones, belly, shellfish, seeds, and lips. They represent eight different animals in the sea. Let me tell you, there are sharks in the sea that are more than ten feet long, extremely fierce, and can crush ships, and the shark's fin of this fish is one of the eight treasures."

"You really know how to eat." Li Shimin also laughed.

Li Yuan suddenly said: "I'm a little envious of Xiaomu, it's a pleasure to not do anything all day and think about eating, drinking and having fun."

In an instant, the room became cold.

Xiao Yu was the first to react, and laughed twice: "Sage, please resign, and I have to learn how to eat, drink and have fun." Xiao Yu resolved the coldness with a word, and Li Jiancheng's eyes were red, It is Li Shimin's eyes that have a look of fighting.

After Li Yuan was pleased with everyone's reactions, Liu Mu was the only one still smiling happily.

Li Yuan laughed twice: "No, but I decided that Xiaomu will prepare a banquet tomorrow, so prepare well."

"Yes, my son will leave." Liu Mu retreated with a smile on his face.

After sweeping his eyes over his two sons, Li Yuan sat back on the chair with a smile: "Deal the cards, prepare the wine, and have another sea cucumber."

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Father, there is an ocean, but there are no mountains."

"It makes sense." Li Yuan understood, and immediately ordered: "Come on, go and tell Concubine Liu that I will taste at least two kinds of mountain treasures at the dinner party tomorrow."

Speaking of eating abalone, the descendants of Liumu are not too poor in modern times. Although they are hard-working writers, they have eaten abalone.

But how could I have seen more than two catties of abalone, and it was all natural.

The way Wuniang Ruyun gnawed on a whole steamed super-grade abalone made Liu Mu wonder if he should laugh. This one is worth at least tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan in the modern age of later generations.

"Smelly girl, this one is worth a few dozen taels of silver." Liu Mu said.

Wu Niang Ruyun's face turned pale immediately, she was too frightened to eat any more.Dugu Lanruo twisted Liumu's arm fiercely, and then quickly comforted her: "Wu Niang continue, not to mention dozens of taels of silver, we can afford even dozens of catties of gold. Your brother will transport this thing back to Chang'an a few days a year." Top ten cars, but still care about this one."

Wu Niang glanced at Third Sister.Sanniang Rumei also said: "Our family is not as good as it used to be. Although it is scary to say that tens of dollars a piece, the third sister doesn't think it is worth that much. Even if it is so expensive, Wu Niang, we let you eat like this every day, and you can't eat it." poverty."

After Wu Niang heard this, she rolled Liu Mu's eyes, reached out and grabbed another one from the large plate on the table and placed it in front of her. This action made everyone at the table laugh.

At this time, Sanniang took out a list from the pouch on her body and gave it to Liu Mu.

"What is this?"

"You go into Chang'an first, and I made a detour to the Zhao family and the Li family to pay New Year's greetings." Speaking of this, Sanniang sighed: "I feel that they are not as close as before, and the two of them have a lot of conversations I thought about building a workshop for the two of them to do some spinning and weaving work, but they refused."

"I don't blame you, and I don't blame them. It is reasonable for people who are not willing to associate with nobles. I can't talk about birthright. I feel that it may be because I am afraid. Why I am afraid, I am not sure. I will run to the north for a while when the spring meeting begins." Come back to the circle to chat with each other in person, and of course we will take care of each other when we are suffering."

At Liu Mu's words, the three sisters of the Liu family nodded vigorously.

Do not look at the original, this is human nature.

Moreover, Liu Mu's father had a last word before his death, and even if he has a stutter, he must not forget the Zhao and Li families.

"Actually, it's not difficult for them to become nobles. The difficulty lies in whether they have the heart and are willing to fight." Dugu Lanruo said flatly beside her.

It is too difficult to become a big nobleman, but to become a small nobleman, Dugu Lanruo knows very well that it is enough to help her.
