Li Shimin looked at Du Qi's confident look and wanted to laugh in his heart. Du Qi's age was not old, but he was a little mischievous. His thoughts were very cunning. Compared to the honest and dull Erlang, Li Shimin liked the Erlang in front of him more.
It was a good thing that his temperament had changed.
Li Shimin did not beat around the bush and said directly, "Father's birthday is coming, and I want to prepare a birthday gift for him. Although you gave me the 《New Five Animal Frolics》, after this prince and my subordinates discussed it, we felt that the gift was still a little too thin. Although such a gift is to his liking, it is still not enough. "
After Du Qi heard it, he looked up at Du Ruhui.
Du Ruhui's face was solemn.
That expression seemed to say, "You better talk properly, or I'll teach you a lesson."
Seeing this, Li Shimin said, "I'm the one asking you about this matter. You can say whatever you want without any scruples. What's more, I've already discussed with my subordinates. Now, I'm just testing you. "
Du Qi shook his robe, sat upright, and said, "Then, I'll speak boldly."
Li Shimin said, "Just say it!"
Du Qi said, "Since we're targeting Divine Doctor Sun this time, we're going to start with him. Then, add a little fake gift and pretend that it was made by Doctor Sun. There won't be any problem. When the real is fake, the fake is real. When the fake is real, the real is fake. It's impossible for His Majesty to judge. "
After a pause, Du Qi continued, "What's more, the New Five Animal Frolics was indeed written by Doctor Sun himself. With this premise, no one will think that it's fake. "
Li Shimin's eyes lit up.
It should be known that the result of his discussion with his subordinates was also fake.
Du Qi was not simple.
His thoughts were clear and pointed to the goal.
Li Shimin was already interested, so he asked, "Tell me, how should I fake it?"
Du Qi said, "In fact, the method is very simple. Your Highness, ask your subordinates to find some tonics like ginseng and deer antler that can replenish Qi and prolong life. Grind them into elixirs and prepare a gourd to store them."
"On the day of His Majesty's birthday, when Your Highness presents the gift, just say that it's a life-prolonging elixir secretly made by Doctor Sun. Anyway, the elixir is a tonic. After eating it, there will only be benefits and no harm. "
"His Majesty will feel the benefits after eating it. Coupled with the 'New Five Animal Frolics', it will be enough. You should know that this is a secret elixir made by Doctor Sun, it is hard to find in the world.
Du Qi said, "After all, Divine Doctor Sun travels everywhere. It's very difficult to find him, so it's impossible to verify with him. His Majesty's the Emperor's Majesty is His Majesty's's the Emperor. Such a gift is incomparable to any treasure. "
There was a flash of light in Li Shimin's eyes. He turned to look at Du Ruhui. His eyes seemed to be saying, "Did Du Ruhui tell Du Qi the result of the discussion?"
The result of Li Shimin's discussion with his subordinates was to fake the elixir.
It was so fake that it could pass off as genuine.
Du Ruhui shook his head slightly. He was also surprised. He did not expect that the result of their discussion would coincide with Du Qi's words.
Li Shimin knew Du Ruhui's nature. Since Du Ruhui said no, it was impossible for him to leak the news. Li Shimin smiled and said, "Erlang, how did you come up with the plan to pass off as genuine?"
Du Qi shrugged and looked indifferent. He continued, "Your Highness, it's not difficult. Because this is the true definition of catering to his interests. "
"Throughout history, most of the emperors, especially the older ones, would seek alchemists to make elixirs in order to live forever. Of course, the Emperor must also know that it's impossible for alchemists to make elixirs to live forever. After all, there has been no one who can live forever. "
"But it's also good if you can prolong your life through alchemists' elixirs."
"So, for someone as old as His Majesty, he must be very happy to have an elixir that can prolong his life. This is the plan for His Majesty. "
Du Qi said, "This is what he likes."
"Good, good, what a good plan!"
Li Shimin patted Du Ruhui's shoulder and praised, "Keming, you have a good son. You should have a son like Erlang! It's a pity that my son doesn't have Erlang's wisdom. "
Du Ruhui couldn't help but show joy on his face, but he also tried his best to restrain himself. He said respectfully, "Your Highness is praising me. It's already the best that this unfilial son doesn't cause trouble. I won't think too much about other things. "
Li Shimin asked clearly and was no longer interested. He said, "I will fulfill my promise to you. Three days later, I will personally go and support you. "
After that, Li Shimin said, "Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Du Ruhui glared at Du Qi and left with Li Shimin.
Du Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, facing Li Shimin was still a little stressful. After all, Li Shimin had already killed enemies on the battlefield when he was young. He was a person who walked out of the battlefield and killed decisively. He was not an easy person to deal with.
Liu Jian pulled a long face and said with an aggrieved look, "Young Master, I didn't get to eat it."
Originally, he had a share of all of them.
But now, there was not even a bit of soup left. The soup in the Mapo Tofu was eaten by Li Shimin with the Egg-Fried Rice. He could only watch.
He was not hungry, but now, he felt a little hungry.
Du Qi looked at Liu Jian in front of him and suddenly thought of a plan. He stared at Liu Jian, and for a moment, Liu Jian felt a little scared. He said weakly, "Young Master, why do you keep staring at me? Could it be that I've done something wrong? "
Du Qi suddenly smiled.
He wanted to eat more and better food. He could not always cook by himself. He had to train a chef. That was the best result. Especially since Liu Jian was his personal attendant, he was the most suitable candidate to train as a chef.
After Du Qi had a plan, he asked, "Liu Jian, do you want to eat Mapo Tofu and Egg-Fried Rice?"
"Yes!"
Liu Jian answered without hesitation.
He was very greedy.
Even the King of Qin could not put it down and swallowed quickly. It was obvious how delicious the food was.
Du Qi said, "I'll teach you. This is not a difficult thing. As long as you learn it, you can make it every day. Moreover, I have countless dishes in my mind. I'll teach you one by one. "
"Plop!"
Liu Jian directly knelt down.
In this era, skills were important. A skill was a skill to support a family. It was passed down from generation to generation. Now, Du Qi was going to teach him the skill of cooking. The matter was extremely serious.
Liu Jian kowtowed to the ground. His head hit the ground with a bang, as if he did not feel the pain at all. He said, "I will never forget Young Master's kindness."
Du Qi said, "Get up!"
"Yes!"
Liu Jian stood up and stood aside obediently.
Du Qi said, "You saw the process of making Egg-Fried Rice and Mapo Tofu with your own eyes. There's no more tofu in the kitchen. Go to the market outside and buy a lump of tofu. This afternoon, focus on learning Mapo Tofu. "
"Yes!"
Liu Jian's mind was filled with gratitude.
His heart was already filled with joy. Once he learned all kinds of dishes, not only could he cook for his young master, but he could also teach it to his future son. This would be the legacy of the Liu family.
That was amazing.
Liu Jian ran out of the courtyard like the wind and went out to buy tofu.
Seeing this, Du Qi smiled and shook his head.
To him, this was not a big deal. He came from the future. Especially when he was in charge of the library, he read books when he had nothing to do. His memory of the contents of various books became clearer.
It was as if his memory had been strengthened after he transmigrated. It was as if his brain was the entire library, and he could easily find the corresponding knowledge.
This was especially true for his memory, which had been greatly enhanced.
It was enough to remember everything he saw.
Not long after, Liu Jian had bought a big lump of tofu. The amount was enough for Liu Jian to fry it more than ten times. He followed Du Qi's procedure, but the Mapo Tofu that he cooked for the first time was too numb and not tender enough.
Du Qi sat at the side and leisurely basked in the March sun. Liu Jian patiently tested the Mapo Tofu over and over again. Even though he repeated it many times, Liu Jian's face was still filled with determination.
When the last batch of Mapo Tofu was ready, the fragrance filled the air, especially the color, smell, and taste.
Liu Jian smiled and ran to Du Qi's side. He bowed and said, "Young Master, the last batch of Mapo Tofu is ready. This is the best batch. Young Master, please have a taste. "
