Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 970
If the banquet is just like this, it will only appear to be extravagant for the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

So after the midnight bell struck, the maids filed in, collected all the dishes, wine, and snacks on everyone's table, and emptied the table.

"The New Year is here, so the New Year's Eve banquet and the New Year's dumplings, I have not been able to finish the New Year's dumpling feast for so many years. Come..."

Li Daozong gave an order, and the maids began to enter one by one again.

There are only three dumplings per person per plate.

Heraclius pointed to the dumplings on the plate and asked Li Daozong: "You said just now that no one has ever finished eating alone, so is there any difficulty?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is just the beginning. The dumplings will continue to be served in the future, and they will never be repeated."

Li Daozong is full of confidence, because no one has eaten all kinds of dumplings. He has worked hard to eat them, and he has not even passed the level of boiled dumplings, and then there are steamed, fried, and mixed ones.

It is said that there are 99 kinds, but actually all of them are counted. Last year, the total number of brands was 570. This year, it has increased to [-] kinds. It is estimated that the materials will continue to increase, and the variety of dumplings will continue to increase.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty once issued a special decree that within ten years, the dumpling banquet must reach full capacity.

Seven dishes, steamed dumplings with glutinous rice and shrimp meat in crystal skin.

The Roman Emperor Heraclius felt extremely delicious just seeing the steamed dumplings. He was already half lying down and sat up with difficulty. He tried a lot to reach for a fork, but he was so full that he couldn't reach it. .

When I reached out to grab the crystal shrimp dumpling, eight dumplings had already been served.

The flowers of mandarin duck steamed dumplings are rich and prosperous, which is only one of the nineteen kinds of mandarin duck steamed dumplings.

Heraclius began to struggle, he knew he couldn't eat it anymore, this one looks half red and half green, it seems to be more delicious, eat another one, which one should I choose?

There is no chance to choose, because the next one is Crystal Jade Rabbit Fresh Meat Dumplings.

Then came peony steamed dumplings...

Five-color Plum Blossom Steamed Dumplings...

Pearl Fish Soup Dumplings...

Chirac felt a sense of despair. Suddenly he stood up, trotted a few steps and rushed to a tree, took out a bottle of unknown substance and poured it into his mouth. In the blink of an eye, Chirac vomited wildly.

While rinsing his mouth, Heraclius had a victorious look on his face. He quickly cleared more than a dozen kinds of dumplings on the table, and then looked expectantly at the door of the banquet hall, looking forward to the maid who brought the dumplings in.

Li Daozong was stunned, how could such a thing happen.

Although he had heard that in the past, the old Roman nobles really couldn't think of ways to express their luxurious life, so someone developed a kind of emetic that didn't have any pleasure.

A table of wine and meat was full, and then vomited.

After the slave clears the table, another table with new wine and meat is placed on it, and the cycle continues.

Li Daozong has no appetite at all.

In the end, Heraclius and the Roman Senate were still defeated, and people felt uncomfortable when they vomited too much. The brand of dumplings did not exceed [-], and all the Roman nobles in the banquet hall were carried back.

Li Daozong also left, and he will not come to this courtyard again for at least ten days.

Tomorrow, New Year's and a rugby game, and then a small feast.Li Daozong ordered while walking out: "Give me a bowl of firmer noodles, and everyone will come over in half an hour. I have something to order."

Li Daozong has decided to play different tricks tomorrow.

It is said that Constantine in Eastern Rome held such a luxurious banquet, in fact, it was similar in Chang'an City.

The difference is that Constantine's banquet has only one purpose, which is to put a gesture in front of the Roman nobles that makes them cry with envy.

Chang'an is different.

Chang'an also roasted camels, but the last half of rice was given to the general with the most meritorious service during the Western Expedition, not Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty himself.

There are thousands of dumplings.

Those who participated in the night banquet in the Tai Chi Hall had only ten different kinds of dumplings to choose from.

The common people in Chang'an City still like the simplest dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, but the nobles like all kinds of steamed dumplings.

Of course, several major ports in Africa also have night banquets.

The guard at the port of Djibouti looked at the pots of so-called dumplings without any appetite.

"General, the soldiers are making dumplings for the first time."

"It's optional."

Watching the soldiers of the Tang Army eat dumplings, the slave soldiers ate the same food as painted noodles, but the dumplings fell apart in the pot without covering them.

Everyone had a big bowl, and there was still laughter.

Big chunks of bison in sauce, big bowls of wine.

The joy of the New Year began to spread from every barracks with soldiers of the Tang army in every port. Before midnight, all the ports and bases of Datang in Africa, whether they were soldiers or ordinary slave workers, were all laughing. There was laughter.

Do you know what Chinese New Year is?
What is the relationship between knowing and not knowing, just be happy today.

In Sri Tanluo City, Liu Mu is also eating dumplings, dumpling skins made of fish meat, dumpling fillings made of fish meat.The banquet was almost done, and after the New Year's bell, Liu Mu played mahjong with the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.

On the mahjong table, Cui Junsu reported to Li Yuan the value-added situation of Datang's various industries in the past two years.

Li Yuan suddenly put down the cards in his hand: "If you say that the land of Liaodong was controversial as early as the former Sui Dynasty, it is a place with vast land and few people, and the bitter cold land with poor mountains and harsh waters. There is nothing worth occupying at all."

Fang Xuanling said from the side: "What the Supreme Emperor said is right and wrong."

"If you have any ideas, let's talk about it." Li Yuan asked with a smile, and at the same time played out the cards in his hand.

Fang Xuanling said: "It's a place of bitter cold, it's true, and it's true that it wasn't occupied in the former Sui Dynasty. It's a good thing if there is anyone there who can be enshrined as a vassal. As long as the frontier is stable, it's a good thing. Now it's different. High, and the output of steel has doubled every year, but ask Liu Mu, how many days does it really take for the train to travel from Chang’an to Liaodong.”

Liu Mu didn't care about this kind of Liu Tian at first, but he was stunned for a moment after hearing the question.

Fang Xuanling asked for the second time, and Liu Mucai replied: From Chang'an to Yanzhou, we can't calculate it according to the emergency military column. From the perspective of the route, we must pass through Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Xingzhou, Hengzhou, Yizhou and then Only arrived in Yanzhou, these major stations must stop temporarily for passengers to get on and off.Or there will be some small stops. "

"En. That's the case. It's really impossible to go directly to Yanzhou, and it's not necessary." Fang Xuanling said in approval of Liu Mu.

Only then did Liu Mu say: "I estimate that you can reach Yanzhou in [-] hours. If you go further north, you can reach Liaocheng in [-] hours. It would be a waste to build a railway further north. I think Liaocheng is enough for the time being. "

Li Yuan asked suddenly: "How many years is this for the time being?"
