Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 176
After chatting for a while, the waiter came to report that the court food has been prepared, whether to set the meal.The sage is naturally ordered to cook quickly.

The dishes Xiu Niang made today are all made with the vegetables brought by Xue Lang——

Ants climbing trees, fried sweet potato balls, fried chicken with potatoes, braised small potatoes, fried cabbage with vermicelli, these are stir-fried vegetables; a cabbage roll is steamed; cold dishes are mixed with vermicelli, tofu skin, and leeks; soup is stewed crab with pumpkin, It can also be regarded as a seasonal dish, and the staple food is pumpkin steamed buns.

Xue Lang silently regretted that there was no rice, otherwise, stewed crab with pumpkin is an extremely delicious dish, and eating it with soup and rice is simply delicious.

Everyone waited for the sage to move his chopsticks first.

The sage picked up the chopsticks, and first picked up the vegetable roll——

Xiu Niang's craftsmanship is good, and the maturity of the vegetable leaves is well grasped. It will neither be too ripe and turn yellow, nor too raw, resulting in a bad taste.The vegetable leaves look good in color, sprinkle a few goji berries, the red goji berries are paired with the green vegetable leaves, the color and fragrance are complete, no wonder the sage puts this on his first chopsticks.

"Well... not bad! Is pork rolled in this dish?"

Li Yuan directly asked Xue Lang——

The recipe was submitted before so that Shangshi Bureau could prepare the ingredients. Presumably, it should have been reported to Li Yuan, so it is not surprising to know the ingredients used.

Xue Lang said: "Returning to the saint, it is minced pork. My cook has limited skills, can the saint still import it?"

Li Yuandao: "I didn't expect pork to be so delicious. It tastes delicious when paired with cabbage! Not bad! Not bad!"

The sage ate the vegetable rolls, a sweet potato ball, and a few chopsticks of potatoes, all nodding in praise of the deliciousness.After that, everyone started to eat——

Xue Lang was already hungry, so he directly grabbed a steamed bun, dipped it in the pumpkin stewed crab soup, and ate it with an extremely satisfied expression.After eating a steamed bun, I remembered to look around——

Seeing it, Xue Lang felt relieved!He was so focused on eating that he didn't pay attention to it just now. Everyone present, including the sage, was eating without any distractions. They watched the food consume at a fast speed, so there was no need to worry about leftovers.

Xue Lang ate his own in silence, only ate one steamed bun, but finished most of the dishes.Look at the table of Li's father and son... Well, people eat better than him, and the plates are empty.Xue Lang wondered if it would be rude to praise a saint for his good appetite.

After eating, Li Yuan's face was full of satisfaction after eating the delicious food, and he said: "It's so delicious, it's excellent! The cabbage and pumpkin presented by Jianling are delicious. People choose one for each family, and give it to the Crown Princess and Princess Qin." , Princess Qi, order the Shangshi Bureau to prepare meals tomorrow according to today's dishes, and give them to the harem."

"Here."

The servant took the order to go down to deliver the message.

Xue Lang silently calculated that for today's meal, at most one pumpkin and one cabbage were used, plus what was given by the sage, compared to the cart of melons and vegetables presented by Princess Pingyang... Xue Lang said that he knew something!Forget it, let’s pretend we don’t know.

Li Yuandao: "Speaking of which, if I don't try new dishes, if I want to eat Xue Qing's recipes, I'm afraid I will go to Xue Qing's house as a guest. Now, in order to let me eat delicious dishes, Qing's family I feel very ashamed to present the recipe, I am not one of those people who steal the recipes handed down from others for the sake of appetite."

Qin Wangdao: "To the saint, besides the recipe and the method of making vermicelli, Duke Xue donated it for free. The so-called merit must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished. Please ask the saint to reward Xue Jungong."

The saint nodded and said: "King Qin's words are reasonable, especially the method of making vermicelli, which is used to promote the world, and it has done a great job. So, Xue Lang accepts it!"

Xue Lang hurriedly saluted according to etiquette: "My minister is here."

"Xue Lang presented the method of making vermicelli for free. It has made great contributions to the country and society. Those who are virtuous and meritorious should be commended. Therefore, on this day, I will reward Xue Lang with a villa on Lishan Mountain and a farm near the Weishui River in the suburbs of Beijing."

"Thanks for the reward."

Xue Lang subconsciously thanked him first, and only realized when he finished thanking——

Lishan...isn't it the location of Huaqing Palace, it's a hot spring resort!

Lishan, the famous Huaqing Palace, is where Huaqing Pool is located.According to modern archaeological excavations, Lishan Hot Spring has been a hot spring resort for royals of all dynasties since the Zhou Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, construction was carried out here. It was built once during the Zhenguan period. In the hands of the prodigal son Li Longji, it was used up. A great deal of construction was carried out, and I spent ten years with Concubine Yang here.In addition to Huaqing Palace, Lishan is also a famous scenic spot.Evening photos of Mount Li are one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong!

Lishan's hot spring villas are all royal!Unexpectedly, the sage Li Yuan actually gave him a hot spring villa in Lishan... The sage is so generous this time!By the way, there is also a farm on the banks of the Weishui River in the suburbs of Beijing... You suddenly entered the rich class, and the surprises came too fast, and it was almost unbearable!

When I was happy for a while, Xue Lang said enthusiastically: "My minister thanked the sage again. Unexpectedly, the sage rewarded Chen Lishan with a villa. When I come to Beijing in the future, I will cultivate vegetables and fresh mushrooms in the hot spring villa in winter. Eat, Ding asked the cook at home to show her skills."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

This is King Qi spraying!

The saint and the prince were dumbfounded!King Qin... King Qin was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing "hahahaha"!
It's over!I didn't pay attention all of a sudden, and accidentally said what was in my heart!Translate this sentence, doesn't it mean to invite the sage to dinner another day?

EQ!EQ!EQ!What an important thing this is!Xue Lang is so sorry!If only time could turn back...

The sage put away his surprised expression and smiled: "So, I will make an appointment with the Qing family. When the Qing family comes to Beijing in the future, remember to invite me to be a guest at the Qing family's residence."

"Here! I will never forget it!"

The saint is really a kind old man, he doesn't dislike his low EQ talking nonsense, and even builds steps for him to step down.

Xue Lang was silently grateful in his heart, and secretly decided that when he returned to Chang'an, he must study how to grow vegetables in the hot spring villa, and try to eat off-season vegetables in winter!
What?As a time traveler, he should make glass, build a glass house to grow vegetables... Xue Lang just wants to say that he thinks too much!The glass used to build a glass house must at least use tempered glass!
To create tempered glass, ordinary glass must first be solved.Today, there are no instruments and no way to analyze the chemical composition. How to solve the problem of purple glass caused by the ferrous iron in the glass?Where can I find manganese dioxide to react to solve the color cast problem of glass?
There is a problem with building a glass house, but it can be considered to get some variegated glass beads out to cheat money.One day when you are short of money, you can study it.

After appreciating Xue Lang's contribution to making vermicelli and sharing the recipes of Shangshi Bureau for free today, the saint did not leave immediately, but asked Xue Lang: "Just now, the Qing family said that they will prepare vegetables and mushrooms in the hot spring villa in winter. Mushrooms can also be cultivated. Huh?"

Asking this, it can be regarded as asking Xue Lang's itch!
As a qualified foodie, how could Xue Lang not like to eat such delicious food as mushrooms.Compared with common oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, etc., he doesn’t eat much, and his favorite is some wild mushrooms, which only grow in specific regions, specific climates and environments.

Especially in the south, during the rainy season, there are almost too many fresh bamboo shoots and fresh mushrooms. Stir-frying a plate or cooking a mushroom noodle soup is supremely delicious.

However, due to the destruction of the environment, there are fewer and fewer wild mushrooms.There are also many people who use their brains to study the artificial cultivation of mushrooms.Xue Lang's ex-girlfriend studied this, and she has seen a lot of it, and she has also planted and played with it.
