Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 149 I Treat Boss Liu to Teppanyaki Stinky Tofu

On the second day, Li Huan discovered that the burps he hiccupped overnight smelled like tofu...

My sister's tofu is really not ordinary tofu.

The armies of Wei Qing and Li Xi returned triumphantly, and Emperor Liu Che personally held a banquet in the court to entertain them. This was what Li Huan said while burping and listening to Gillian.

"Uh-" The body trembled, and another loud and uncontrollable burp sounded, unexpectedly interrupting what Gillian wanted to say next.

Li Huan could only look at Gillian, showing an awkward yet polite smile.

Gillian shook her head helplessly: "Yun'er will be back soon. I heard a little bit about what happened yesterday. Liu Ling went to see His Majesty later and was told that he cried so miserably!"

"Didn't she ask for this... uh, she asked for it?" Li Huan looked indifferent.

"Okay, if you hit someone, you should show something. Otherwise, where would you tell King Huainan to put his face?" Gillian snarled, but Li Huan could see that her beautiful eyes were full of pride.

"Mother, then this matter...is over like this?" Li Huan coughed lightly, thinking that she would be punished anyway.

It doesn't matter if he has too many food cities now, as many food cities as the emperor wants to cut down, he can cut as many as he wants. Although he has not unlocked the achievement yet for the title of Wanhuhou.

But when he reaches the level of Marquis Wanhu, Li Huan himself will be very nervous.

The Han Empire had no shortage of Marquises of Ten Thousand Households, but there were not many newly promoted Marquises of Ten Thousand Households. Most of them were from Emperor Gaozu who had contributed to the founding of the country, and they had accumulated more from one generation to the next.

Otherwise, if it really comes to that point, Li Huan will find some innocuous crimes to commit, and then the emperor will happily cut off his own food.

In this way, the emperor sleeps comfortably, and so does he. Anyway, he has been destined to be rich and prosperous for several generations. One thousand households can live in food, three thousand can live in five thousand, eight thousand can live in, ten thousand can live in ten thousand. Li Huan really doesn't care about this kind of stuff.

Comfort, sometimes really is more real than these false names.

"It's passed." A touch of pride appeared on Gillian's face, but before Li Huan could cheer anything, Gillian said again: "I'll make the decision and let Liu Ling come and visit the backyard of the Anyang Marquis Mansion, limited to daily products.

The rest of the things, such as metal smelting, armor, weapon making, etc., were shown to her, but she didn't dare to look at them at the moment. "

Li Huanhua said: "This is a lighter punishment than I imagined. It seems that you, the queen mother, contributed secretly. The child will naturally be more cautious and think twice when encountering problems in the future."

After hearing these words, Gillian felt contempt for the first time in her optimistic eyes: "Jin Laoer is too stupid to think that he understands the thoughts of Liu Ling, but in fact, How could she know that Liu Ling was willing to bear all this and then took the opportunity to make a request to visit the backyard of Anyang Hou Mansion?"

Li Huan shrugged indifferently: "Just take a look. Anyway, as long as the core things are still in our hands, it doesn't matter."

He was also sweating violently in his heart. Gillian actually called Princess Nangong Jin Laoer... This name sounded really vulgar, just like the name of a bandit who ranked his seniority...

Gillian frowned slightly: "Don't always look down upon Liu Ling so much. Your Majesty was obsessed with Liu Ling for a while."

Li Huan almost covered his ears. Of course he, the future generation, knew the emperor's dirty information, but he couldn't talk nonsense if he knew it!

Gillian snorted: "Okay, His Majesty will come over later, you go down first and solve the problem of hiccups. Don't do it all the time in front of His Majesty."

"Here!" Li Huan laughed angrily and backed away.

Princess Nangong led the team back to her princess mansion to move things... The princess of the Han Dynasty was so tough.

She felt that Li Huan's mansion was very interesting. The warm hot spring water passed through the entire mansion and could easily take away the dirt and turbidity in the entire mansion.

At first, she thought that with the hot spring water passing through the hall, it would be stuffy and wet living there; but after actually living here for some time, she realized that Li Huan's house design easily avoided this possibility.

This feeling is actually more like a ditch flowing outside a normal house. However, Li Huan made the house very spacious and covered the ditch; thereby creating an extremely wide and airy internal space for living inside. Naturally, people will not feel any discomfort.

Master Shengxue led Hongzhi and Manguyin, and was following Longlegs Orchid to get to know some medicinal materials picked from Lishan Mountain, and memorize the effects of these medicinal materials one by one.

Li Huan watched from a distance for a while, but did not step forward to disturb anything. Instead, he walked around the backyard.

There is a Yulin Army stationed here. When the army went out before, Gillian took over these troops directly. Anyone who came near without Gillian's warrant would be killed on the spot.

But in fact, Li Huan felt that this was not necessary at all.

Although the iron smelting technology is still a top secret within the Han Empire, it will not take long for it to spread.

Apart from this, Li Huan felt that there were no other particularly important technologies.

Of course, there are still many gadgets in his heart that can subvert the times, but these things cannot be achieved overnight and must be developed slowly.

Papermaking can provide a considerable financial income for the Han Empire, but Li Huan feels that there are too few literate people in the world...

Although Taixue has been established, it is still spread within a very small area, and different schools are competing with each other; even the same school is divided into many different branches, competing with each other, doing the same thing. My son, I still have more to say.

Li Huan had no intention of participating in these things. As for whether his disciples would do such things in the future, he was too lazy to care.

Li Huan also thinks that Tao movable type printing is not a big secret. If these things want to truly benefit the people, they should be disseminated on a large scale.

As for the curved plow, it is really useful, but objectively speaking, it is not very difficult to do.

It's just that the number of cattle is still a pain for the Han Empire. The biggest problem is the lack of advancement in breeding technology and the scarcity of veterinarians.

After experiencing the war, Li Huan hoped to quickly increase the productivity of the Han Empire in a short period of time.

After all, the construction of wars and other things is actually based on productivity.

This includes the memorial he presented to Emperor Liu Che yesterday.

In other words, Li Huan had long known about Liu Che's personal arrival, but he didn't expect that Emperor Liu Che would be so out of control after reading the memorial that he ran over here.

Well, Liu Che is a good emperor, Li Huan really can't deny this.

After breakfast, Li Huan's hiccups improved a lot. He, Huo Qubing, Li Gan, and Su Wu dug a pit by the stream. After diverting the water, they caught a lot of fish and put them in the pit to raise. They started grilling fish again and waited quietly for the arrival of Emperor Liu Che.

Originally, Huo Qubing was planning to report on the situation of Lou Fan's department at this time; however, Li Huan insisted that he would wait until Boss Liu arrived before giving a detailed report.

He knew very well that his original act of directly recruiting more than 4000 elite troops from the Huns was inherently risky.

After all, that bitch Xin Zhao rebelled first. At that time, many Huns slaves lost their heads because of this incident.

Then, it is very necessary to let Boss Liu know how he and others arranged the elites of the Lou Fan Department and the Aries Department.

"Master, there are too many fish roes. When eaten on the iron plate, they always feel sticky and soft, and they are not as refreshing as the fish after being grilled!"

Li Gan complained to Li Huan while turning over the fish roe.

Li Huan hummed softly: "What do you know? This Teppanyaki is a good thing. You can make anything on it. Damn, even the wild boars can't eat fine chaff... I don't know, if we build a fleet now, what can we do?" Can’t we get the pepper back?”

"What are chili peppers?" Huo Qubing liked to eat soft, sticky fish roe, and his eyes were bright when he heard it.

"A condiment, like garlic, is not available in our area and must be obtained from other regions."

Li Huan smeared the garlic paste on the grilled fish and swallowed it with enjoyment. The garlic was found somewhere in the Loufan tribe of the Xiongnu during this battle. It only weighed about a hundred kilograms in total.Li Huan kept all of it. Except for the seeds, he kept about ten kilograms for himself for daily consumption.

"The smell is too strong!" Li Gan shook his head and did not put in the minced garlic. Li Huan rolled his eyes and said with contempt: "The wild boar can't eat fine chaff!"

Su Wu laughed and tried Li Huan's way of eating, and his eyes lit up instantly, but he was very interesting, and he didn't tell Li Gan that this way of eating tasted better.

"Master, this tofu is smelly and hairy. The people below are really going too far. It's time for Master to punish them as a warning to others!"

As he spoke, Li Gan was about to throw away the stinky tofu, but Li Huan quickly stopped him: "No, this tofu will have a different flavor if you eat it roasted. You, the wild boar really can't eat the fine chaff!"

Seeing Li Huan really put the stinky tofu with a layer of white hair on the iron plate drenched with oil and started to bake it. At this moment, even Su Wu, who had been working hard, couldn't help but said: "Master, are you all here?" Can I really still eat it like this?"

"Of course!" Li Huan nodded expectantly: "It's just a pity that there are no chili peppers, otherwise, I would be worried that you would eat your tongues!"

Then, Li Huan applied mashed yellow mustard on it. There was no chili pepper, but there was mustard and dogwood. These were the spiciness before chili peppers were introduced.

Huo Qubing also opened his eyes wide: "It's so bad, can it really be eaten?"

"It's edible!" Li Huan nodded seriously.

Soon, the aroma of teppanyaki stinky tofu filled the air, and Li Huan ignored the shocked looks of the three people and started showing off.

"Shut up—"

Li Huan felt the spicy taste in his mouth, nodded vigorously, and after taking a sip of herbal tea, he saw the three of them looking at him with wide eyes, and couldn't help but said happily: "Look at you, let me tell you , you should have some soda now, that would be called enjoyable!"

Li Gan added: "Shouldn't it be tiger whip wine?"

"Isn't it vulgar?" Li Huan waved his hand: "Beer is not bad either..." His eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes! Beer? Damn it, I can't make soda, so beer must be fine!"

Although it was the first time for Huo Qubing, Li Gan, and Su Wu to hear about beer and soda, seeing Li Huan like this, everyone knew that beer must be a good thing again.

"Your Majesty is down!"

Unfortunately, at this moment, Dachangqiu came over anxiously to report.

Li Huan and the other four people immediately stood up and went to greet Emperor Liu Che.

After performing the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers, Li Huan led Liu Che to sit down at the iron plate barbecue stall by the stream.

Chuntuo, who was accompanying him, took a look and wanted to scold Li Huan for being rude, but Liu Che showed strong interest, especially the smell of stinky tofu, which made him couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Liu Che sniffed, smelling the smell of stinky tofu in the pottery basin, and even couldn't help but reach out and touch the long hair that was half a finger long. After being stunned for a moment, he looked at Li Huan and asked road:

"The salary I give you is not low, right?"

"Your Majesty has said that if I don't support any retainers, I won't be able to use up my salary!" Li Huan laughed.

Liu Che frowned in frustration: "Then the tofu is spoiled, why are you still reluctant to throw it away? Are you still eating it?"

Li Huan said "Ah" and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this is how you eat stinky tofu. You see, this is baked stinky tofu. It tastes great. It smells stinky and tastes delicious!"

While talking, Li Huan showed it to Boss Liu, but Liu Che was really frightened and immediately asked the soldiers around him to hold Li Huan down and snatch the stinky tofu away...

Li Huan was pinned to the ground and looked at Liu Che who looked depressed in disbelief.

Chuntuo silently threw the bowl of stinky tofu and the bowl into the stream...

Huo Qubing, Li Gan, and Su Wu shrank their heads like quails and said nothing.

Liu Che pursed his lips, turned around and sat on the chair. He narrowed his majestic eyes and looked at Li Huan who was pinned to the ground. Deep in his eyes, there was a hint of helpless depression at this moment.

"Get up and talk." Liu Che said, carefully letting go of the soldiers who were holding Li Huan down to prevent him from eating the teppanyaki stinky tofu.

Li Huan stood up with a confused look on his face: "Your Majesty, this is really edible, and it tastes really good..."

Liu Che frowned: "Are you so afraid that I will cut off your food? Are you deliberately eating stinky and hairy tofu in front of me?"

Li Huan opened his mouth and felt that the air had frozen for three or four breaths...

Liu Che looked serious, even a little sulky, and Li Huan couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Majesty, how could I have such thoughts? Even if you cut off all my food, then I wouldn't still have the princess's dowry and annual salary, this stinky tofu It’s really delicious and won’t hurt anyone!”

Liu Che looked at Li Huan suspiciously and frowned: "Qubing, is it really edible?"

"Your Majesty, Father Zhong did say that stinky tofu can be eaten, and he has eaten it. He did not intentionally make it for Your Majesty." Huo Qubing reported truthfully.

Liu Che frowned and glanced at the fried tofu on the teppanyaki. He still seemed a little unbelievable. Is this thing really edible?
They're all so bad, they're all hairy...

Li Huan looked at Liu Che and suddenly noticed Chuntuo beside him. He immediately smiled and said, "Your Majesty, would you like to let Chuntuo have a taste?"

When Chuntuo heard this, his face turned green.

Liu Che touched his chin and nodded slightly.

Chuntuo didn't dare to hesitate at all, let alone show any dissatisfaction. He immediately stepped forward, picked up the fried tofu with chopsticks, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

As a result, as soon as the oily tofu was taken into his mouth, the pungent smell instantly turned into an unprecedented aroma. Along with the greasy oil and mellow taste, it instantly exploded between his lips and tongue, sweeping over his taste buds. …

"Your Majesty, let's talk about the taste alone. This is indeed a rare delicacy in the world..."

Chuntuo didn't even have time to wipe off the oil stains on his lips, so he reported to Liu Che excitedly.

A strange look flashed across Liu Che's face. Li Huan took the opportunity to step forward, took out a pair of clean chopsticks, and picked up a piece of stinky tofu that was sizzling with oil: "Your Majesty, please taste it. This is carefully prepared by me." .”

Liu Che hesitated for a moment, smelling the smell of stinky tofu, but after thinking about it for a moment, Li Huan might be afraid that his fortune would be cut off, but Chuntuo would not dare to lie to him.

After taking one bite, Liu Che's expression became a little strange. Li Huan offered a tissue to wipe Liu Che's mouth.

Liu Che glanced at the white-haired stinky tofu that had disappeared in the stream. There were still one or two pieces on the teppanyaki. He had no choice but to nod his head: "The taste is indeed different. This tofu is really magical. If you can't finish it, it will change. After the stinky hair grows, you can eat it as stinky tofu, and it even tastes much better than fresh tofu... I know what Marquis Anyang wants, so let’s talk about business now."

Li Huan wisely put the remaining two pieces of stinky tofu on Boss Liu's plate, and then stood aside: "I don't dare to speculate on the holy intention, so I ask your Majesty to make it clear that I want to talk about the battle in Henan first. , is it still a problem between Lou Fan and Aries, or is it the national policy for the Xiongnu or the national policy for the South Vietnamese country in the south?"

Liu Che leaned back and looked at Li Huan with smiling eyes: "Wei Qing, Li Xi, Gongsun Ao and others have all received their rewards, so why don't you ask about your rewards first?"

Li Huan chuckled: "The princess has already said it, it's meaningless to ask this, so it's better to talk about state affairs first."

Liu Che was also happy: "You are more cunning than Wei Qing, and I like it very much... Then, tell me first, what you showed me yesterday, is it really as magical as you said?"

"Have!"

　Guess what, brothers, what did Li Huan say to Boss Liu that made him run over here in such a hurry?The chrysanthemum is still painful and I can't sit for too long, so I can't write much in the latest update. The doctor prescribed medicine for ten days and I went to the hospital to change the dressing every day. After these ten days, there should be no major problem. As for the wound... ...Everyone who has had this surgery knows that there is a hole on the side, which will always ooze pus. It needs to be cleaned after a while. Otherwise, every time I go to the hospital to change the dressing, the doctor always says to pay attention to cleanliness after using the toilet. I have to wash my butt, not wipe it, but wash it... Haha, I am laughing and laughing, tears are about to come out...
