What was the happiest thing in the world? Naturally, it was the sense of achievement. This feeling was a sense of pride and satisfaction that came from the bottom of one's heart. It was a wonderful feeling that was difficult to describe with words. Enjoying this wonderful feeling lasted for a long time. It far surpassed the feeling of eating delicious food and having sex. It was a higher level of satisfaction.
What exactly was a sense of achievement? According to a scientific explanation, it was a psychological feeling produced when one's desire and reality reached a balance. It referred to the feeling of happiness or success when one completed something or did something.
At this moment, Li Longji had this sense of achievement. He personally made the roast mutton and the taste was perfect. He had tasted it personally, so he was naturally sure of this.
"Someone, send this roast meat to the imperial concubine. Tell her that I personally made it."
Li Longji looked at the eunuch not far away and said. The moment he spoke, his entire person was gentle. It was obvious that he was full of love for the imperial concubine.
There was a small bowl of ginseng soup inside. Li Longji had finished it long ago. It was the most suitable to send the roast meat to the imperial concubine. After all, the weather was very cold. If he directly brought the bowl over, the imperial concubine would not be able to eat it. When he put it in the insulated food box, the imperial concubine would not be able to eat it. When he brought it over, the temperature would not drop by much.
For the third batch of yellow mutton, Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to come over and try to make this delicacy himself. This could be considered a kind of pastime. If it was done well, he could personally make it for him in the future. It would be more interesting if the two of them worked together.
"Yu 'er, in the past, whenever Assistant Minister Li came up with something good, he would personally send it to the palace. Why did he suddenly ask you to send it over this time?"
Li Longji asked casually as he gently turned the wooden handle in boredom.
Li Yu said, "Assistant Minister Li is probably busy! Besides, it's the same for me to come over. This thing is very simple, and I can explain it clearly. He doesn't have to come over personally every time. "
"You speak as if you are an errand boy. Yu 'er, you are my eldest grandson. Even in front of Assistant Minister Li, you cannot lose your dignity. You must know who is the master and who is the subject."
Li Longji said unhappily.
Although Li Yu came willingly, and he didn't have anything important to do, he said that there was no need for Ang Lee to come personally. This sentence made Li Longji very unhappy. Generally, those who came personally were the masters and authorities. The Emperor would go in person wherever he went. There was even a saying that the Emperor would personally go on an expedition.
"I understand. It's just that I don't have many things to do. Assistant Minister Li is much busier than I am. Helping him share some of the burden will also allow the Ten Thousand Miles Telepathy Project to be realized sooner. I'm really looking forward to it."
Li Yu said hurriedly.
Hearing this, Li Longji suddenly became happy. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "I'm also looking forward to it. I really hope that this Ten Thousand Miles Telepathy Project can be realized as soon as possible. In this way, I can quickly know what happened at the border. I can also directly communicate with the soldiers at the border. This is really great, and I'm looking forward to it."
When it came to this project, Li Longji appeared very enthusiastic. After all, he really hoped that this project could be realized. This was too important for him.
"Imperial Grandfather, you don't have to be anxious. It shouldn't take long. Assistant Minister Li said that it will be successful in a few months at most. It will definitely be realized next year."
Li Yu comforted.
Li Longji nodded and pointed to the solar barbecue stove. He said faintly, "Yu 'er, I've taken a fancy to this solar barbecue stove. I'll leave it in the palace. If you have the ability, go and ask for another one!"
This understatement was simply robbing a burning house. However, Li Yu didn't care. Ang Lee had already promised him that he would give him a new one soon. It wouldn't affect him from barbecuing meat for Shen Zhenzhu.
"Imperial Grandfather, this solar barbecue stove is a gift from your grandson. Tomorrow, yes, tomorrow morning, I'll go to Assistant Minister Li's residence and ask for another one for myself."
Li Yu said very mischievously.
"Hahaha!"
Li Longji laughed happily. He paused and asked, "Yu 'er, this is a newly made thing. How do you know that Assistant Minister Li's residence has extra for you? How much stock does he have in his residence? Tell me the truth. "
Obviously, Li Longji felt that a solar-powered barbecue stove was far from enough. No matter what, he had to have a few spares. In addition, there were often nobles coming and going in the palace. If someone took a fancy to him, he would not be able to open his mouth and reward him if he did not prepare a few more. Being so sullen would greatly damage Li Longji's heroic image.
"This, your grandson really doesn't know. I'll only know when I go tomorrow. But I don't know how many does Imperial Grandfather want?"
Li Yu immediately adopted Li Longji's idea, so he asked.
Li Longji smiled faintly and took out another pot of barbecued yellow mutton. He paused and said, "Yu 'er, how many do you think are suitable for me?"
Li Yu looked around. Other than the Emperor, there was only Gao Lishi, so he quietly said, "I don't dare to hide it from Imperial Grandfather. Yesterday, your grandson and Assistant Minister Li talked about this issue. He said that he was willing to send a hundred to the palace at most. Any more and my heart would ache. A hundred is the most. "
"Hahaha! A hundred, Assistant Minister Li is quite generous. Then a hundred! When you go to his house tomorrow, tell him that I need a hundred and ask him to send them to the palace as soon as possible. "
Li Longji didn't stand on ceremony and asked for the maximum amount.
Li Yu's lips curled into a sly smile as he quickly nodded in agreement.
These hundred solar barbecue stoves were provided by Ang Lee. Li Yu did not lose anything. After the Emperor rewarded these barbecue stoves to the nobles of the Tang dynasty, it would inevitably cause a trend. In this way, there would be many people who wanted to buy the solar barbecue stoves. Li Yu could also make a small profit. The more money, the more comfortable people would be. Li Yu was no exception.
After eating a few more slices of barbecue meat, Li Yu said goodbye and left. If he could go back earlier, he could barbecue again and let Shen Zhenzhu have a taste of this unique barbecue meat. After all, Ang Lee had promised him that he would send him a new solar barbecue stove.
Not long after Li Yu left, Yang Yuhuan ran to the open space in front of the hall. Previously, Li Longji had asked a little eunuch to send her barbecue meat. When she heard that the Emperor had barbecued the meat himself, she opened her mouth and tasted it. She felt that the taste was very unique and asked about the specific situation. After learning about the solar barbecue stove, she came to take a look in person. She wanted to see what the solar barbecue stove was all about.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Yang Yurou bowed respectfully.
Li Longji smiled happily and waved his hand to let everyone leave. He asked Yang Yuhuan to sit next to him and share the freshly barbecued yellow mutton with him.
"My dear concubine! This was just barbecued by Gao Lishi. Have a taste of his cooking and see how it compares to mine. "
Li Longji divided the barbecued yellow mutton into two portions and gave one to Yang Yuhuan.
Yang Yuhuan was naturally not full just now. She tasted it lightly and said excitedly, "Gao Weng's barbecue is also very good. However, I still think that Your Majesty's barbecue is better. "
In fact, it was very easy to barbecue meat with the solar barbecue stove. No matter who did it, the taste should not be too different. When you ate it, you probably would not feel any difference. However, Yang Yuhuan naturally wanted to please the Emperor, so she had to say that the Emperor's barbecue meat was the best.
"Haha! Is that so? This is also something that I have just learned. My dear concubine, come and learn! It's easy to learn. "
Li Longji finished the last piece of barbecue meat, stood up and walked to the solar barbecue stove.
Yang Yuhuan looked at the solar barbecue stove curiously and asked, "Your Majesty, this is another new thing made by Assistant Minister Li, right? It looks very interesting! "
"Yes, this morning, Yu 'er brought it when she entered the palace. This barbecue mutton was also taught by Yu' er. Yesterday, Yu 'er went out of the city to hunt. It was also the first time that she knew that Ang Lee had made such a good thing. It's very useful!"
Li Longji gently opened the lining of the solar barbecue stove and said happily.
"Come, put the mutton in, and then put the meat in the lining with a pair of tongs. Okay, it's done."
Li Longji taught Yang Yuhuan step by step how to use the solar barbecue stove to barbecue meat.
"Your Majesty, this was barbecued by your concubine. Your Majesty, try it?"
Yang Yurou said coquettishly.
Li Longji naturally ate it quickly and praised it again and again.
After familiarizing herself with it a little, Yang Yuhuan was filled with interest towards the solar barbecue stove.
"Your Majesty, in the past, when we went on excursions, we only ate pastries. If we wanted to eat something hot, it would take a long time to prepare. With this barbecue stove, it'll be much more convenient. Moreover, there's no smoke, so we can make it ourselves."
Yang Yuhuan said.
Li Longji said with a smile, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. We asked for a hundred barbecue stoves from Ang Lee. We'll put a few in Daming Palace, a few in Pure Flowers Palace, and two in Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace. This way, we'll have a barbecue stove to use no matter where we go. We can also bring a few with us when we go out."
"Your Majesty, there's more than a hundred? Even so, we won't be able to use all of them. Your concubine will thank you on behalf of my three older sisters. "
Yang Yuhuan said coquettishly.
Li Longji said happily, "One for each of the three madams. Give your thanks! Haha! "
"Your Majesty, let's go on an excursion tomorrow! Bring along my three older sisters as well. That's right, there's also this barbecue stove. "
Yang Yuhuan requested.
Li Longji looked at the weather and said, "If the weather is as good tomorrow, then let's go on an excursion. However, we still have to deal with government affairs in the morning. I'm afraid we won't be free until noon."
Yang Yuhuan immediately became unhappy and complained, "Your Majesty, what's the point of having so many court officials? They can't even share Your Majesty's burdens. There's actually so much government affairs that Your Majesty has to deal with personally. Why don't we just dismiss them all? That way, we can save a lot of money for the court."
"Dismiss them? Good! We'll be the first to dismiss Yang Guozhong. What do you think, Noble Consort? "
Li Longji immediately became unhappy.
"Your Majesty, your concubine knows her wrongs. Older Cousin is loyal to Your Majesty. You can dismiss anyone, but you can't dismiss Older Cousin!"
Yang Yuhuan hurriedly pleaded for leniency.
Li Longji sighed and said helplessly, "We were the one who gave the name Yang Guozhong. How could We not know his loyalty? It's just that he's too frivolous and lacks forethought. He can't even deal with the matters of his family well. How could he shoulder the heavy burden of the court?"
This was naturally referring to the evil servant incident and the series of events that followed. Although these were all small matters, they would inevitably greatly affect Li Longji's impression of Yang Guozhong. At the same time, it would also affect the Emperor's determination, making him unable to make up his mind to promote Yang Guozhong.
"Saburo, Older Cousin is always thinking of you. This was really just an accident. If we were to deny Older Cousin's previous contributions and loyalty because of a single accident, your concubine would be too disappointed."
Yang Yuhuan turned on her gentle mode and said coquettishly.
Li Longji also felt that he was too harsh. Everyone had shortcomings. He couldn't just focus on the shortcomings of others and ignore the strengths of others. Wasn't it the greatest advantage that Older Cousin had the same temper as him?
"Well, my dear concubine, it's my fault. I'll deal with the court affairs quickly tomorrow. We can set off after the sun rises in the morning."
Li Longji said.
"Saburo, we can't have only barbecue for lunch. Let's go back and eat!"
Yang Yuhuan said.
Li Longji nodded and left with Yang Yuhuan in the carriage. They went to the back and instructed the little eunuch to clean up the solar barbecue stove.
The most valuable part of the solar barbecue stove was the glass tube. This was a very fragile luxury, at least in the Tang dynasty at this time. Therefore, the little eunuch was very careful when cleaning up the barbecue stove, for fear of breaking this treasure.
Because it was baked in the sun, the temperature of the glass tube and the inner lining was very high. It was still very difficult to clean it. And they didn't dare to use water. If the glass was broken, it would be troublesome. They could only leave it in a place without sunlight to cool for a period of time. Then, they could do more careful cleaning.
After returning home, Li Yu got a new solar barbecue stove as he wished. He immediately used this barbecue stove and barbecued meat for Shen Zhenzhu to taste. However, Ang Lee didn't have the time. He had to work in the R&D center. However, Yan Ruyu and others at home were busy barbecuing Chinese Mongolian lamb.
About half of the Chinese Mongolian lamb brought back by Ang Lee yesterday had been eaten. It was not enough. There was a lot left. It was enough for barbecuing. Moreover, there was a lot of food in the kitchen at home. They could barbecue anything.
Barbecued meat was not only delicious, but the equipment was also very fun. Therefore, naturally, everyone wanted to come and try it. Several madams and maids at home, and even the children, came to join in the fun. They all wanted to barbecue meat for fun.
As soon as Yan Ruyu left, the naughty Tang Er opened the inner lining of the solar barbecue stove and quietly stuffed a large piece of mutton fat into it. The heat instantly melted the mutton fat.
