Datang: at the Beginning, Eat Fruit

　　By nightfall, the sun had already set at sea level.

　　On the tranquil sea, there is no ripple because there is no wind, and in the blue sky, you can see countless stars blinking.

　　There was no lighting in ancient times, so the stars in the sky could be clearly seen.

　　Especially on the sea, the vision is very wide, allowing them to clearly see a beautiful Milky Way hanging on the other side of the sky.

　　A big moon appeared just above the Milky Way.The dreamlike scenery, the three daughters of Yuyao were stunned, it was so beautiful.

　　Sitting on the deck, you can see the beautiful scenery gently when you look up, and you can taste the rich food under the table at the same time.

　　"Haha, did I come a little late?" The door formed by the void opened, and Li Er and Empress Changsun came together.

　　"No, Royal Father, I've eaten several months of cakes during the day so I'm not very hungry. We are about to start dinner. Have you eaten with your mother? If you haven't, let's eat together." Li Lizhi said happily.

　　"Oh? Are you guys eating? Although I ate dinner early, it's been hours since I was hungry. Hehe, I'm welcome." Li Er's eyes lit up as he pulled the queen to sit up skillfully. on the table.

　　Just as he was about to see what he was eating, he found that the table was full of fresh ingredients, and a large pot was tumbling.

　　"How to eat this." Li Er was puzzled.

　　"Father, Brother Lu said that this is a hot pot. You need to put the ingredients in it and cook it while you eat it. You see, my favorite food is goose intestines. Cook it for a while with the goose intestines in between, and then you can eat it." Li Lizhi Begin to demonstrate to them yourself.

　　The slender goose intestines were placed in the bottom of the fiery red spicy pot by Lizhi, and after a while, they were directly clipped out and dipped in the dipping sauce in her bowl.

　　"It's delicious, crisp and refreshing, spicy and fragrant. Lizhi likes the goose intestines the most." Lizhi exhaled hot, spicy and hot, almost making her mouth numb.

　　"The goose intestines are crisp and crisp, but I prefer lamb tripe." Yuyao said with a smile.

　　"Hot pot?" Li Er looked straight.

　　"The method called hot pot, paired with tender meat and all kinds of refreshing vegetables, is simply delicious. You two came at the right time." Li Yuan said lightly.

　　In fact, Lu Xiu should have brought out the hot pot earlier, but it would be too hot to eat hot pot in summer.Now that the late autumn is gradually approaching, it is the season to eat hot pot.

　　"In the cold winter, if you stay in your room and eat hot pot and drink a few sips of wine, you will really enjoy it." Li Yuan sighed comfortably after eating mutton and drinking a sip of fine wine.

　　"I really don't get tired of eating. I really don't know how my husband can have so many delicious meals." Li Yuyao enjoyed it endlessly.

　　The maid, Qing He, ate her head down. The hot pot now feels a bit unstoppable, but it is more delicious than anything else.

　　"Hotpot?" Li Er imitated them and took a bite of beef.The next moment, the incomparably delicious beef made him almost swallow his tongue.

　　The spiciness on the dipping sauce elevates the umami of the beef to a higher level.

　　"Hoohoo, it's so spicy, so spicy, it's so refreshing to eat." It's so spicy and delicious, it makes people appetite.Freshly cooked beef, able to maintain maximum umami...  

　　Especially being able to gather a few people in a pile, coupled with the novel way of cooking while eating, made Li Er and the others shine.

　　If it is too greasy, refreshing vegetables, mushrooms, etc. will remove all the greasy.

　　The dishes are very rich, there are seven or eight kinds of vegetables, three or four kinds of tofu, and countless kinds of meatballs.Queen Changsun ate some of each, and found that they were all so delicious.

　　But not long after eating, Queen Changsun felt that her stomach was a little full.

　　"Your Majesty, the way to eat hot pot is really delicious."

　　The way to eat hot pot is simple and easy.There is no complicated cooking method at all, no need to know knife skills, heat, etc. Basically, after watching it a few times, everyone can make it.

　　Empress Changsun cooked and ate it herself, and found that it was not difficult to do.

　　Peppers, star anise, etc. are used at the bottom of the pot, most of which are common ingredients.

　　And Chili Imperial Garden has a batch, so it is not difficult to put together the seasoning.The only problem is the ingredients. Even in the palace, only two or three kinds of vegetables can be used.

　　"Haha, yes, I'm sweating all over the food. Letting the sea breeze blow slowly, it's very refreshing." Li Er said with satisfaction.

　　My favorite is the beef balls. The meatballs absorb the deliciousness of the soup base, and the meat is full of soup.

　　"After returning to the palace, can your majesty ask the royal chef to make hot pot according to the instructions, and the concubines also want Chengqian and the others to taste the taste of hot pot." Queen Changsun said.

　　"Well, it's not difficult to make a hot pot. My current pot is made from lamb bones, and then I put peppers and other seasonings on it." Lu Xiu said with a smile. .

Chapter 158

　　"You two really don't know how to enjoy life. Have you seen the beauty of the sky? You should enjoy the delicious food while enjoying the moon." Li Yuan said.

　　"Are you watching the moon?" Li Er gently put down the chopsticks in his hand, took a glass of cold beer, leaned on the chair, looked up, and saw the beautiful scenery of the sky, which made Li Er intoxicated, "It's so beautiful. The starry sky is like a bright moon rising from a sea."

　　Tasting fine wine and food, admiring the night sky, Empress Changsun's eyes wandered, and she was already completely intoxicated.

　　I never thought that the night viewed from the sea would be so beautiful, and I even felt that I had no regrets in my life.

　　In ancient times, due to the lack of electricity, most people went to bed early, and most of them had already started to sleep after eight o'clock in the evening, so it was difficult to have any chance to appreciate the stars.

　　Li Er finally understood why Lu Xiu wanted to go out to sea. It was worth seeing such a beautiful sight.

　　Fortunately, Lu Xiu has the ability to make people easily cross thousands of miles away from 25, so that they can also enjoy the beauty in front of them. If not, it will be a lifelong regret.

　　"By the way, son-in-law, tomorrow afternoon, our army will escort the Turkic Khan Jieli back to Chang'an City. Haha, do you want to come back?" Li Er smiled.

　　"Yes. The Tang Dynasty was able to easily destroy the East Turks, and the son-in-law has a lot of credit. You are indispensable at the celebration banquet." Empress Zhangsun said with conviction.

　　If it weren't for the ability of the eagles to gain insight into the deployment of the Turks, they might be able to defeat the Turks, but it would be extremely difficult to capture Jie Li alive.

　　"It's fine at sea, so what do you do when you go back in the cold? Lu Xiaoyou doesn't want to join in the fun." Li Yuan sneered.

　　"Well, I don't plan to go back to Chang'an in the short term." He has something to do, such as the painting of sea charts. Although it is supported by the ability of the Falcon Fruit, it is also a huge project.

　　Copy a falcon fruit and let Wu He help him measure it.

　　Then, in the southern waters, Lu Xiu assigned Wuhe the second task to explore the surrounding islands and mark all the islands on the sea map.

　　Among them, Lu Xiu will choose the most beautiful and best-located island as his holiday island.

　　If you can have your own island, you can go out and play whenever you want, not limited to the cold winter, in fact, it can be in summer.

　　In the hot summer, you can come to the island, go swimming, diving and surfing in the sea. After playing in the sea, you can jump into the swimming pool of Luzhuang to wash the sea salt on your body, and then take a sauna.

　　It is best to find an island with an active volcano on the mountain. You can go there to find some hot springs, and take a few sweet wives to soak in a very comfortable hot spring bath. What a pleasure.

　　…………

　　Datang's army, led by the commander of the Sixth Route Army, finally returned triumphantly.

　　In the morning of the next day, Li Er, who had been staying at Lu Xiu's place until the early morning, led Baiguan to stand at the main gate of Chang'an City early, without even the slightest sleepiness.

　　After a while, the winding procession appeared in front of them like long snakes.

　　Li Shimin stood at the forefront with a smile on his face, and behind him were civil and military officials, and the people stood along the street. The atmosphere of joy had already rendered the entire Chang'an city as lively as a New Year's festival.

　　The first is the commander of the Sixth Route Army, then Cheng Yaojin and their generals.Then, there was a cage made of wood with a miserable prisoner in it.

　　He is Jie Li, and when he saw the gate of Chang'an City, his face was full of despair, and he never thought that he would become a prisoner one day.

　　Behind Jieli Khan were tens of thousands of Turkic captives, hundreds of thousands of Tang soldiers, and finally hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep.

　　Li Jing had already reported in the battle report, and the people of Chang'an City knew the good news that Jieli Khan was captured alive, so it attracted countless people to watch.

　　In the early years of Zhenguan, the people experienced the fear of the Turks breaking the city, and they were naturally very happy when they learned that the Tang Dynasty had defeated the Hu people in the north.

　　"Your Majesty, the pharmacist lived up to his trust and finally captured the Turkic Khan Jieli alive."

　　Under the city gate, Li Jing dismounted and knelt in front of Li Er on one knee, and the generals behind him also dismounted and saluted.

　　The scene of the pilgrimage of hundreds of thousands of people made Li Er feel extremely proud.

　　He stepped forward with excitement on his face, and supported Li Jing with both hands, "Pharmacist, this trip has been hard work."

　　"Your Majesty, it's the brothers who fought bloody hard." Li Jing said with a smile.

　　"Haha, okay, you are all great friends of the Tang Dynasty. All of you will return to the palace with me. I have prepared a celebration feast for you. Today, we will not return if we are not drunk."

　　The more than [-] catties of Maotai he had reserved in the palace, Li Er asked the eunuchs to take out all of them to congratulate him. In order to fear that it would not be enough, he added a lot of water so that every soldier could drink a little.

　　Before the start of the celebration feast, it is natural to reward the heroes one by one.Su Dingfang, who made the greatest contribution, was canonized as a marquis, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers also received rewards corresponding to their military exploits.

　　Datang amnesty the world, the whole country celebrates! !

　　The Great Tang war against the East Turks finally came to an end. .

Chapter 159

　　In the palace, Li Erda held a banquet.

　　For the banquet of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Empress Changsun invited hundreds of cooks from Chang'an to help, and it took several hours to prepare it with the help of dozens of royal cooks in the palace.

　　As for the celebration feast of the civil and military officials, what Empress Changsun prepared was the hot pot method she had just eaten from Lu Xiu last night.

　　Dozens of boiling hot pots were brought to the table by the maids.

　　Fortunately, it was not the desk table from before, but the dining table I learned from Lu Xiu. One table can seat four people, and the table is large enough to fit a hot pot and a lot of ingredients.

　　Vegetables include woks, leeks, cabbage, fresh tofu, and several kinds of mushrooms.The meat is actually quite rich, with bright red mutton slices, beef slices, lamb tripe and tripe, and sliced ​​fish!

　　You must know that it is difficult to eat a meal of beef on weekdays, and Datang prohibits the killing of cattle.Because in the era of farming, cattle are especially precious.

　　Because hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were harvested from the Turks, there is nothing wrong with killing a few hundred cattle and sheep to enjoy.

　　"Everyone, you don't have to think about anything today, just let go of your stomach and eat, you have enough drinks and food." Li Er said.

　　"Your Majesty, the dishes are all raw, how do you eat them?" Cheng Yaojin said.

　　"Haha, this is hot pot, and I learned how to eat it from my concubine. It's not too refreshing to eat hot pot in cold weather." Then, Li Er demonstrated it in front of civil and military officials.

　　The way of eating hot pot immediately attracted countless attention.

　　The secret of hot pot lies in the soup base. Although the royal chefs could not prepare the spicy and delicious pot base that Lu Xiu ate, it was also a thick soup made from sheep bones and beef bones.

　　Paired with chili peppers, the boiled soup base is rich and spicy.

　　"Hey, what a novel way to eat" ~."

　　Cheng Yaojin sandwiched a large piece of mutton and beef slices and cooked them directly on the stove.Many foodies are self-taught when it comes to food.

　　Cheng Yaojin could see that the originally bright red beef slices turned into white mixed with fresh pink after the boiled soup base was tossing for more than ten seconds.

　　"It should be edible." After dipping in some seasoning, he ate it in one bite, and the hot Cheng Yaojin exhaled.But the tender texture of the beef burst out with the deliciousness of the dipping sauce.

　　"Huhuhu, it's so hot and spicy, the meat slices become so delicious after a simple cooking." Cheng Yaojin took a glass of wine on the table and took a sip, "Happy, really happy."
