It was almost noon. Du Qi, Zhangsun Shunde, and Li Daen were all a little hungry. Although they drank, chatted, and ate some meat, in reality, there was not much wine or meat. Especially when they were discussing matters earlier, they were all so engrossed in the discussion that they forgot to drink and eat meat.
Li Daen touched his stomach and said, "Young Master Du, how is the preparation of the chef you brought?"
Du Qi said, "Duke Dingxiang can arrange for someone to ask."
He believed in Liu Jian's ability.
Li Daen nodded and immediately arranged it. After a while, an attendant came in and reported, "Your Highness, most of the dishes in the kitchen are ready and will be served soon."
"Good!"
Li Daen's face was full of anticipation.
He had long heard of Chang 'an's dishes. It was only because he had always been in Daizhou and could not go south to Chang 'an that he had never eaten before. Now, he could finally try it.
Du Qi looked at Li Daen's expectant face and laughed inwardly. Zhangsun Shunde said that Li Daen was Liu Wuzhou's man and was rather unruly and difficult to get along with. Now, it seemed that there was nothing difficult to get along with.
They got along quite well.
After a while, the attendants of the prince's residence filed in. Every attendant had a bowl of red braised pork in their hands. This was done by simmering soybeans. This red braised pork was only available in the prince's residence because there was some pork specially for the servants to eat.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to eat it.
Li Daen took a bite of the red braised pork with soybeans. When the meat was chewed in his mouth, an intoxicated expression appeared on his face. The fatty but not greasy taste of the pork invaded the taste buds and was hard to resist.
In this era, meat was lacking the most.
Although there was mutton, the taste of mutton could not replace the taste of pork. This was also the reason why pork was so popular in the future. The red braised pork made by Liu Jian was soft and glutinous, fatty but not greasy, and melted in the mouth.
This taste immediately conquered Li Daen. He held his chopsticks and did not speak at all. He kept eating the meat and did not eat the soybeans. After a while, the bowl of red braised pork was finished.
"Phew, delicious, this is really delicious."
Li Daen shook his head and wiped the oil droplets off his beard. The next moment, he looked at Du Qi with an eager look. He really loved this taste.
Seeing this, Du Qi had someone bring his bowl of red braised pork to Li Daen and smiled, "If Ding Xiang Jun Wang doesn't mind, please eat mine. I don't particularly like this Red Braised Meat. "
"What's there to dislike?"
Li Daen hurriedly shook his head and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
A moment later, he finished eating.
At this time, Zhangsun Shunde had also finished eating. He had not eaten any Red Braised Meat along the way. After all, there was no pork on the road. If they slaughtered the pigs directly, they would not be able to preserve them due to the hot weather. The food they ate along the way was mostly chicken, duck, fish, mutton, and so on.
At this time, Zhangsun Shunde had finished eating. He sighed with emotion, "When I was in Chang 'an, I heard all kinds of miraculous things about the World's Number One Restaurant, but in reality, I've never personally tried it. What a pity, what a pity that I didn't go! If I had known, I wouldn't have waited until now to eat such delicious Red Braised Meat! "
His face was filled with emotion.
This taste was too good.
Du Qi listened to the praise of the two with a light smile. He was already immune to such praise. After all, once the restaurant opened, the food and drink of the entire Chang 'an City had already undergone a change.
A moment later, more attendants entered. This time, there were more people entering.
Because there were more dishes.
There were chicken, duck, beef, and so on. All kinds of dishes were served one by one. Du Qi did not eat much. After all, his appetite was limited. Zhangsun Shunde and Li Daen ate until their mouths were full of oil. They were incomparably satisfied.
After a full hour, the dishes were brought to an end.
Li Daen rubbed his already full stomach and slowly leaned back. He supported his back and said with emotion, "Comfortable, it's really too comfortable. I've eaten so much meat in my life, but I've never eaten food with such taste. This thing is really something that only immortals can eat. "
Du Qi said, "Duke Dingxiang, this is nothing. These dishes are actually not a lot. Because the dishes that can be used are really limited. When you have time in the future, make a personal trip to Chang 'an. When the time comes, Duke Dingxiang, come to the Number One Restaurant in the World. I guarantee that you will have a feast. That is the place where countless delicacies gather. "
Li Daen said, "Since Young Master Du has said so, I will definitely find time to make a trip to Chang 'an."
The three sat in the hall and chatted about interesting things. It was very relaxing.
The three of them chatted for the entire afternoon.
Du Qi told jokes, Li Daen talked about interesting things in the Northern Lands, and Zhangsun Shunde talked about interesting things in the Great Sui Dynasty. The three of them chatted, and the atmosphere was joyous and harmonious.
In the evening, there were still delicious dishes, but the three of them drank more wine.
Especially Li Daen, who drank until he reeked of alcohol. When it was close to midnight, attendants brought Du Qi and Zhangsun Shunde to rest. Li Daen, on the other hand, began to stumble toward the backyard.
At this time, his face was slightly red, and he looked very drunk. In fact, his eyes were clear, and his heart was clear. That was because he had many things to do next, and he had to tell the news to his concubine.
Li Daen's concubine was called Lady Liu.
She was only in her early twenties. She was very beautiful and charming. Her eyebrows were long and narrow, and she had the classic almond-shaped eyes and an oval face. She was very attractive.
In Lady Liu's room, she was in a daze in front of the dressing table. During the day, she received news that the imperial court had sent an envoy. However, she did not get the details of the envoy's visit from Li Daen.
Lady Liu was very concerned about this.
The reason was very simple. The strategy of the Tang dynasty toward the border was related to Yuan Junzhang's survival. Therefore, Madam Liu was already thinking about how she could get the news.
Thud! Thud!
The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside.
It was a servant girl. The servant girl looked happy and said excitedly, "Madam, His Highness is here. Quickly prepare to welcome him."
When Lady Liu heard that, she immediately became excited.
This was an opportunity!
Lady Liu quickly dressed. Although she put on her clothes, in fact, the weather was in July and August. Even if the night was cold, it was not cold, so Lady Liu's clothes were thin and seductive.
Lady Liu walked gracefully to the door of the room and waited. Not long after, Li Daen arrived. Madam Liu immediately went forward to greet him. She took Li Daen's hand and inched her body closer to him. She faintly rubbed against him and pouted, "Your Highness, you're finally here. When you didn't come these past few days, this concubine missed you so much. "
Li Daen's temperament did not change.
As soon as he entered, his wild nature erupted, and he first did it with Liu Shi.
Lady Liu had a shy expression on her face as she snuggled up to Li Daen. Her eyes darted around as she suddenly said, "Your Highness, I heard that you received an envoy from the imperial court today and that there were many delicious dishes at the banquet. Everyone in the kitchen has spread the news."
"Hahaha …"
Li Daen laughed and said, "Indeed."
Madam Liu said, "Is it possible to let this imperial envoy stay for a while longer? If they stay, I can learn from their chef so that I can cook for Your Highness. Although I am not very smart, I will try my best to learn as soon as possible. "
A light flashed in Li Daen's eyes.
The opportunity was here.
This was a chance to reveal the news.
