Tang's dining table

When Yun Chu was just a pawn, Liu Rengui fought vigorously in the court. After Yun Chu temporarily showed his prominence, Liu Rengui disappeared.

This is called a line break in political struggle.

In the early days of Yunchu, Liu Rengui had an ulterior motive for shining brightly in the political arena.

Now that Old Liu was getting angry, Yun Chu naturally remained silent.

Liu Rengui cupped his hands and said to King Lu Li Lingkui: "I have taught you all the methods, but you are not busy doing things. Instead, you want to shift the blame to Chang'an.

I'm just waiting to see what you do. "

Yun Chu carried the leg of beef and said, "Let's go quickly. I'll skin the cow later. If you wait too long, the beef won't be fresh."

Liu Rengui lived in the back hall of Liushou Mansion, but his family was still as poor as ever.

Her wife only had two maids and two nuns, and Liu Rengui himself only had one old servant, one groom, and twelve armed guards assigned to him by the court.

It's unbelievable to say that there is no cook in Liu Rengui's family. He relies on two maids and two old ladies for daily meals. When Yun Chu came, Liu Rengui's wife wanted to cook in person, but Yun Chu declined. He had eaten Liu Rengui's food. The food cooked by his wife, how should I put it, Liu Rengui's wife really has no talent in tea and rice.

Yunchu's short knife is very sharp, cutting beef as smoothly as cutting tofu.

Liu Rengui watched Yunchu skin and cut the beef leg, peeling green onions on the side and said, "It's inevitable."

Yun Chu said: "If the copper pillar is placed at an angle like this for two days, it will bend."

Liu Rengui raised his head and said, "Your focus is always different from others."

Yun Chu cut the beef into thin slices, put them layer by layer on the plate and said, "I'm pretty sure that this accident was a natural disaster. Let me tell you, the simpler the tools in this world, the more complicated they are. Reliability, the more precise something is, the less reliable it is.

I actually admire the master craftsmen who were able to build such a complex structure in a short period of time and coordinate so well. Now that the first test has been passed and the weak points of this large mechanism have been found, they can be strengthened. , you can get things done without fail.

It's a pity that people from Luoyang don't think about doing their jobs well, but they think about how to be free from responsibility.

This is so fucked up. If such a big thing happened, how could they not be responsible?

The queen wants things to be done perfectly, not who to deal with.

Inserting the pillar where it should be early is the greatest credit.

The pillars are so high and heavy, so the difficulty of the project can be imagined. It is inevitable that some small things will happen in the middle. The queen can understand and forgive them.

Moreover, the Queen knows nothing about engineering. What will happen when the time comes, other than what the craftsmen at work will say?

Now, these stupid pigs insist on turning good engineering matters into political struggles that the Queen is good at. Do you think they can deceive the Queen with their wisdom?

If you seek death yourself, you can't blame others. "

Liu Rengui nodded and said: "That's the truth. It depends on whether their lives are good or not. Unfortunately, it is impossible to erect a straight pillar."

Yun Chu said: "Then it depends on those people in the court who are accustomed to flattering others and giving this curved pillar a new meaning. I am afraid that others will say that the virtues of the Tang Dynasty cannot be taken directly. You can only ask for it within the song, and that’s the end of it.”

Liu Ren's track: "Showing your face exposes your butt."

Seeing Yunchu cut a beef leg into a large bowl of thin slices, Yunchu chopped off the beef bones with an axe, threw them into a large pot and boiled them. He said to Liu Rengui: "Boil out the bone oil and add refined salt and pepper." , stir-fry with wheat noodles until slightly brown, and have a bowl of beef bone fried noodles every morning to ensure that you, Liu, can live to be eighty years old."

Liu Rengui nodded and accepted Yun's secret recipe unceremoniously.

Yunchu really wanted to eat beef with sesame sauce, but unfortunately, there were no peanuts, and pure sesame sauce was not delicious, so he simply made a pot of hot sauce.

Liu Rengui's sons were all serving as officials, and Liu Rengui's wife did not keep her daughter-in-law by her side, so Yunchu, Liu Rengui, and his wife ate ten pounds of beef, three pounds of wine, and one mouthful of vegetables in a soup pot. Didn't eat.

After Yunchu finished eating, he passed by the entrance of the imperial city again and found that the pillar was still hanging alone in the air. When passing by the winch, he found that the beef there had not been cleaned, and even one end was hung on a chain. The injured cow was still struggling there.

Thinking of the food at home tonight, Yun Chu waved to the bad guy guarding the place, got a car, freed the poor cow with a knife, cut off the cow's hooves that were held by the winch, and asked the bad guy to pull it up. Good yellow beef sent home.

As for the other beef, it was covered with flies and looked inedible.

The old god loved to eat beef, so Yun Chu divided half of the beef and sent it to Prince Ji's Mansion to honor the old boy who had spit at him that morning.

"King Cao is so pitiful. The doctor at the Imperial Hospital cut open his belly and took out the two rivets. The doctor who cut his belly said that the rivets were embedded in the fat and did not hurt the internal organs. Four fingers of yellow fat surprised the doctor.

Oh, it's much fatter than the beef you sent. "

The copper pillar fell, and King Ji Li Shen was extremely excited.

The old god looked at the half-dead cow and was filled with regret. However, he still told Li Shen to make all the beef into beef sauce, and also strictly ordered Li Shen not to eat it.

Li Shen promised with a smile, and said with a grin as he sent Yun Chu away: "The lonely prince, who is well-dressed and well-fed, will you steal food?"

Yun Chu said: "Behind any rule that sounds unbelievable, there must be a horrific example to support the rule."

Li Shen laughed and said: "Who made the old immortal immortal? I can't help but want to taste the old immortal's food to see if I can live forever like the old immortal."

Yunchu stopped and asked, "What's going on with your uncle Li Lingkui?"

Li Shen said: "He wants to be a clan leader."

Yun Chu asked again: "Who is his biggest opponent as Zong Ling?"

Li Shen pointed to his nose and said, "Gu!"

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Then you have to be careful. This time the collapse of the pillar may not be a false accusation against you."

Li Shen smiled and said, "He can't get on top of me."

"So confident?"

Li Shen smiled and said: "Because I never thought about becoming a Zongling from the beginning. Both the emperor and the queen know this clearly. If I wanted to be one, I would have done it two years ago."

Yun Chu took a deep look at Li Shen and said, "No matter what, I hope you are fine."

Li Shen smiled and waved goodbye: "I know, I know."

After coming out of Prince Ji's Mansion, Yun Chu was very certain that the toppling of the bronze pillar this time must be related to Prince Ji Li Shen.

If Yun Chu is asked to look for evidence, he might be able to find it.

However, Yunchu didn't want to find any evidence to prove Li Shen's guilt.

Most of the people in the Li family are perverts, and you can't understand their thoughts with ordinary people's minds. Yun Chu even believed that the only reason why Li Shen destroyed the copper pillar this time was to watch a show. , a hilarity created by himself.

The people of Baiqisi started to torture the people on the project like frightened donkeys.

I heard that King Li Lingkui of Lu has already reported it. In a few days, people from Luoyang will be sent to investigate the matter.

Yun Chu doesn't care about these. All he needs is the copper to make this pillar and the various rare treasures that will be inlaid on it in the future. If the copper pillar becomes bent, Yun Chu doesn't think it will affect the copper itself. value.

This pillar is said to be donated by all nations. In fact, the Tang Dynasty itself also produced a lot of copper. The so-called "all nations" is just a slogan.

When he got home, Yun Chu heard Yu Xiurong say that Naha had a bad appetite because of the pillar.

As before, Yu Xiurong asked the cook to prepare a pot of mutton noodles for Yun Chu to send over.

When Yunchu passed by carrying a huge red lacquer plate, he happened to see a group of people crowded in Naha's room, worrying about Naha not eating.

The so-called group of people is only two people, Yun Jin and Yun Guanghuan, but as long as they are there, it is equivalent to a group of people.

When Naha saw her brother coming back, she relaxed her frown and looked at him pitifully: "The pillar fell. A Luohan and the others were very scared. They were worried that they would be punished by the emperor."

Yun Chu said: "This is none of your business, so much so that you're so worried that you can't even eat?"

When Naha heard what her brother said, her eyes lit up and she said, "Is it really none of our business?"

Yun Chu affirmed: "It's none of your business. The emperor may not issue an order to comfort you."

Yun Jin immediately said to Naha: "Auntie, you can ask those earth kings for some money, just say that you want to use the money to smoothen the relationship."

Naha said in confusion: "Didn't you say it's none of our business?"

Yun Jin said: "Aye said it, and my aunt realized that it is none of your business. My aunt knows it, but those local kings don't know it. So, is there anything wrong with charging them a little money to calm their panic?"

Naha followed Yunchu's example and closed her eyes slightly, thought for a moment and said to Yun Jin, "What you said makes sense!"

Yun Guan opened his round eyes. He looked at Yun Chu, Naha, and Yun Jin, and finally choked out a sentence: "Just say that the prince wants the money."

When Yun Chu heard this, he immediately put down the huge lacquer plate and left. He felt that his child should not look like this disgusting.

As soon as I went out, I heard Naha's voice in the house: "Leave some for me."

Wen Huan also missed the meal today. Yun Chu took a look at Wen Huan and found that his expression was sluggish, so he asked, "Why, you haven't beaten Yao Chong?"

Wen Huan shook his head and said: "It's either that he can't hit him, or he can't control the force of his attack. If he hits him lightly, it will have no effect. If he hits him hard, he is afraid of beating him away and disappointing me, Aye."

Yun Chu said without raising his head: "Hit him harder."

Wen Huan said: "Won't you be beaten away?"

Yun Chu took a bite of noodles and looked at Wen Huan and said, "Guang Si has already beaten him very hard. He has already survived Guang Si's beating. For a smart man like him, if he runs away, all the suffering he suffered will be in vain." Suffer it."

Wen Huan nodded and said, "Yes, I should continue to increase his sunk costs."
