The smell of this meat must be said to be a bit fishy.
Everyone soon discovered that the meat seemed... to be pork!
This has been called cheap meat in the education of aristocratic families since ancient times.
Cheng Yaojin and other Lingyan Pavilion generals were mostly from mud-legged backgrounds, and...
Among the generals, who doesn't know Fan Kuai's famous story of eating a whole pig's trotters?
Highlight a fierceness!
Therefore, there has been no end to imitators from the Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties to the Southern and Northern Dynasties and now to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
but……
Then where did Fan Kuai eat pig's trotters raw?
Hongmen Banquet...
At that time, I only pretended to be this cool to support my lord Liu Bang.
Now……
Needless to say, Cheng Yaojin and other generals, eating pork is not a big deal for people who are in the military all year round. Even if it has a fishy smell, nothing will happen if you swallow it whole. But on the contrary, for other people
For officials, this thing is not so easy to accept.
For a moment, they looked at each other...
Although I knew that Li Er was also a military commander and had led troops for many years, but now it was still a formal occasion, so bringing this thing out... would inevitably lead to a cold reception.
Except for a few individuals, most officials really...can't eat this stuff, even if they don't have many opportunities to eat meat on weekdays.
After all, this is really the perception of pork in this era.
At this moment, Pei Ji only had a smile on his face.
It’s you, Li Er, who is laughing!
Hehe, this Li Er thought he was in the military and could have a good time, but to serve cheap meat on such a formal occasion is simply extremely vulgar.
Is this enough to be a master?
Wait and see, sooner or later I will mobilize countless young people to criticize you!
However, Li Er was not embarrassed at all, as if he was not worried about the cold scene.
There is also a leisurely smile on the face!
…
After a while, the sizzling sound of meat being cooked gradually came out.
At this moment, a waiter suddenly brought up small wooden tubes one by one... It looked like they were about the size of a water cup, but the lid on the top had many small holes. It was very mysterious, and I don't know what it was used for.
Two wooden tubes per table!
"What's in this barrel?"
"Do you know Lao Zhang?"
"I don't know, what exactly is this..."
Whispering for a while.
Immediately afterwards, a waiter turned the wooden tube upside down, took it, and shook it gently.
Countless strange powders were sprinkled on the fishy-smelling barbecue.
Immediately afterwards, a strange change occurred.
The roast pork, which originally smelled of blood and oil, suddenly became extremely fragrant!
All the officials were stunned.
this?
The pork at this moment does not smell ordinary at all, but... even though everyone knows that it is cheap meat, they can't stop swallowing their saliva and can't stop their appetite!
This scent is literally killing me.
The whole process is completely like magic.
The same thought arose in everyone's mind at this moment——
Turning decay into magic is like turning stone into gold!
This... what on earth is this seasoning? It’s so powerful!
But no one could care about it now.
Even Pei Ji...
He has been suffering from a loss of appetite for a long time since he became ill. He feels drowsy every day and doesn't want to eat anything at all... This is actually one of the reasons for his heat stroke.
But the moment he smelled this aroma, Pei's appetite, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly erupted like a volcano erupting!
No more...
Pei Ji took a deep breath and smiled awkwardly at Li Er, "Your Majesty has given us such delicious food, how can you live up to His Majesty's kindness? I will... just..."
I grabbed a handful of meat skewers on the spot and stuffed them into my mouth...
Immediately afterwards, Pei Ji's eyes suddenly went straight.
This meat...
The juices flow freely, and the aroma simply penetrates deep into the soul.
It smells so good!
next moment……
Although Pei Ji still has the airs of a veteran from two dynasties, he will look like a hungry tiger pounces on his prey.
Even Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and other warriors were stunned for a moment.
but……
This time, everyone understood.
Damn, it's really not an illusion.
Mr. Pei is from a noble family, so he can't stand it anymore.
This cheap meat...could it be really delicious?!
Then, everyone started!
at last……
Cheng Yaojin and other generals were completely dumbfounded.
"This... uncle Bao knows the truth..."
Yuchi Gong looked at the enthusiastic gourmets filling the Imperial Garden and couldn't help but swallow...
"I, Yuchi Gong, have always thought that the men in the Forbidden Army who have undergone hard training are the most edible, but I didn't expect..."
"Stop talking about Jingde, we still underestimated the heroes of the world..."
Half an hour later...
Pei Ji, who was eating and drinking like crazy, suddenly widened his eyes, and suddenly realized that Li Er was looking at him with a half-smile...
For a moment, Pei Ji couldn't hold himself any longer.
Born in a family of Zhong Ming Ding Food, he finally proved himself with his food appearance, and actually has no superiority to ordinary people...
Woo hoo hoo, this is how we, the nobles, will deal with themselves...
In the invisible contest, Pei Ji understood that he had been tricked by Li Er again...
But it's different from Pei Ji who has evil intentions.
Most of the ministers and clan members present were shocked to see "delicious food" again in their lives!
It's shocking now.
Extremely shocking!
In the imperial garden, whispers can be heard everywhere...
"What exactly is this spice?"
“This is too delicious!”
"No way, let me find this thing later. I have to buy a hundred catties and put it in my house!"
"It is said that His Majesty's advisers discovered this thing again!"
"Really? No wonder... Your Majesty is truly a heroic master, able to gather so many wise ministers and wise men!"
"Your Majesty's counselors are really astronomical and geographical, unfathomable! Amazing!"
…
Tap tap tap...
late at night.
Horse hooves cluttered and the carriage drove slowly through the streets of Chang'an.
Pei Ji frowned, sitting in the dark carriage, thinking hard.
Why.
Why can Li Er win every time?
Why do you, Wang Jing and the others, every time they make a move... Li Er can turn defeat into victory?
Whether it's pen, ink, paper, or fine iron, these...
They should all be areas that Qi Wang of the Five Surnames can easily control - after all, the world's paper, ink, pen, and fine iron are all monopolized by Qi Wang of the Five Surnames.
In this situation, it stands to reason that we should win without losing!
But Li Er can break the game every time...oh, every time!
Pei Ji was suddenly startled.
Yes, Li Er can come up with all kinds of new things every time...
No matter what Wu Xing Qi Wang monopolizes, Li Er can always come up with a better substitute!
The quality is far superior to the original.
Even the price is incredibly cheap!
"How did Li Er collect so many good things?"
Pei Ji frowned and thought.
"Senior Brother Wang and his colleagues investigated and found out that there is a Shengxiang Marquis next to Li Er... Is this Shengxiang Marquis so powerful??"
"wrong!"
Pei Ji suddenly slapped his thigh.
"I, Pei Ji, am also a veteran of two dynasties. How can I believe such nonsense? There must be a secret yamen around Li Er who collects these things for him!"
"What kind of holy country prince? How can such a person exist in the world?"
