A brand new dynasty is always accompanied by endless wars. The first year of Wude was destined to be an unstable year, and Xue Ju, Liu Wuzhou and others appeared kindly. went to trouble Li Yuan one after another, forcing Li Yuan to abandon his old nest in Shanxi, hide in Guanzhong and sharpen his knives to prepare for a new war.

A truckload of grain collected from all over the country is gathered in Yongfeng Cang, near Lintong, and the Yunjia Zhuangzi like a construction site can always see a long convoy. The Tang Empire was accumulating strength and preparing for the coming war.

Bad news came one after another, Shanxi was lost, Linfen was lost. Even the land outside Tongguan has been lost. The good news is that Li Xiaogong led his army to be invincible in Bashu. Many veteran bandits have been exterminated, and the public order of the people of Shuzhong has improved unprecedentedly. Taxes were also continuously transported to Chang'an.

That's not the best news though, and the good news lately is...... Li Mi surrendered.

Yu Wenhua and going north, leaving Li Mi in a situation where he was attacked on his back. In order to get out of this embarrassing situation, Li Mi had to accept an olive branch extended by Yang Tong, the king of Yue.

In July, the Wagang army and the Yu Wenhua army fought at Liyang Tongshan, and the fierce battle lasted from early morning to dusk. In the melee, Li Mi was shot by a stray arrow and fell off his horse and fainted, and his subordinates fled and almost fell into the hands of the pursuers, but fortunately Qin Qiong was able to escape from danger by desperately defending it. After rescuing Li Mi, Qin Qiong gathered the defeated army and fought with Yu Wenhua and the army, and finally repelled it.

After a battle with Yu Wenhua, the Wagang army suffered heavy losses and suffered great losses. However, Li Mi was full of self-confidence, and was ready to take advantage of the great merit of victory, go to Luoyang to find trouble with Wang Shichong, completely control Luoyang, and become a generation of overlords.

The arrogant Li Mi camped under Luoyang City and did not set up a village. As a result, he was attacked by Wang Shichong at night and was defeated. At the beginning, he killed Zhai Rang in order to seize power, but now that he has lost his pants, he is naturally afraid that Zhai Rang's old subordinates will kill him. The defeated Li Mi did not dare to return to Shandong, but ran directly to Guanzhong and surrendered to Li Tang.

When Yun Hao saw Li Mi passing by the Yun family's Zhuangzi, his eyes widened. I thought of Li Mi's miserable defeat, but I didn't expect Li Mi's defeat to be so miserable. The hundreds of thousands of Wagang troops have been dispersed, and there are only about 100 people around Li Mi. Half of them were wounded, and many of them were infected. Under the bright sun, you can see yellow pus flowing out. Yun Hao was surprised that such a person could still ride a horse ......!

As a descendant of the Eight Great Pillars, Li Mi's surrender is of great historical significance. Li Yuan's attention to Li Mi is simply beyond measure. The right servant shot Pei Lin in the suburbs for thirty miles, and the prince Li Jiancheng waited at the city gate. Li Yuan was even waiting in the Taiji Palace, and after the performance was correct, a banquet would be held for Li Mi to wash the dust.

Yun Hao didn't have the slightest interest in this kind of banquet, but it was just a group of old guys bragging together. And it's not their own cattle that they bragged, they all boasted that their ancestors were very good.

The ancestors of the puppet family are very good, and the dinosaurs have beaten them! Yun Hao wanted to jump out and reprimand these old people who were not ashamed, but when he thought that he would be arrested as mentally handicapped, he gave up this idea.

The reason why I have such a big grudge is because I want to be a cook. Li Yuan specially ordered Yun Hao to prepare a grand feast. The people in Li Yuan's palace made the meals that were far inferior to the Yun family in terms of quality and variety. If you don't consider the royal majesty, Li Yuan has the idea of going to the Yun family Zhuangzi to join the family.

The emperor's things, no matter what they are, must be added with a royal character. Even the place where the cooking is made has to be handed over to the imperial kitchen. The well-known imperial dining room in later generations was only called in the Ming and Qing dynasties. In Datang, it is called the imperial kitchen.

The head of the cuisine came to meet Yun Hao, for this famous gourmet. The head of the food was trembling, lest the waiting be inappropriate, and it was said that the boss attached great importance to this feast, and if he messed up, he could fool the past if he didn't ask for a guilty relationship.

"What is your job title?" It was the first time Yun Hao had heard this name, the head of the cuisine (yáo zhuàn), Yun Hao understood the word but couldn't write it.

"The manager of the cuisine (yáo zhuàn)!" The chubby guy replied respectfully, his head tucked into his crotch.

In order not to show the attribute of illiteracy, Yun Hao was annoyed and angry. "What a delicacy! From now on, you're called the head cook. Find a few good knife workers and give Lao Tzu a hand. Tell you, if you mess up this banquet, Lao Tzu is the marquis's head is big enough. You kid, I'm afraid your head will move. ”

When he entered the imperial kitchen, Yun Hao found that this group of guys were thieves. It's not a good thing at first glance, it's a cook and nine thieves, don't have a good face when dealing with these guys.

"Cook...... Promise! "In the face of a dignified marquis, the head cook has no temper at all, and is honestly like a cat who has only been gelding.

Checked Li Yuan's back kitchen, obediently! It's really a variety of land and water, and the water that flies in the sky swims in the water, but the fish are all freshwater fish. There is no carp yet, and Li Yuan's surname is Li, so he is not allowed to eat carp. Fortunately, he doesn't have the surname Mimian, otherwise the world wouldn't starve to death. It seems that from ancient times to the present, there is really no emperor surnamed Mi, could it be this reason?

Freshwater fish don't have much to eat, and the fish bones are not good and smell earthy. Li Yuan doesn't know if he likes it or not, but Yun Hao really doesn't like it. What is it? Yun Hao saw a pile of black things in the jar and fished it out to take a look. Oh my god, it's a crab. That's how the fucking crabs eat?

The palm-sized crab was covered with a thick layer of black paste. I mustered up a lot of courage and tasted it, it was sweet and fishy, and it seemed to be a little salty. Oh my God! Crabs are not so pickled, this kind of crab can be eaten, and people with multiple tastes have to eat. This year and month of frosting, because of the purification reasons. It's black and mushy, like sesame paste. This is the reason why the Yun family cooks and never puts only honey and no frosting. If you want to get pure cane sugar, you need sugar cane.

Yun Hao also wanted to get sucrose, but he could inquire about the price of sugarcane in Chang'an and immediately dispel this idea. Sugarcane is not valuable in the south, but it is rare in Chang'an. That price, a fight with mutton, is a standard local tyrant food. Eating sugarcane in Chang'an is not something that ordinary rich people really can't afford.

"This kind of crab is both male and female. Get a basket...... Ten baskets here! "Once you have the power in your hands, you must know how to use it. Embezzling crabs for personal gain is not a big deal.

"No!" The fat cook wrote it down immediately!

"That kind of Luhua chicken, if you want to live, you will also give a hundred and ten. As long as it's about three pounds, don't want it if it's too big. ”

"No!"

"Fish...... Never mind! Let's just use crucian carp and clean it up. Especially the black membrane in the stomach, if you dare to leave a little bit, I will stuff the fish in your mouth. ”

"No!"

"Why is there no pork?" Yun Hao inspected the imperial kitchen and couldn't find even a piece of pork. This is very different from the Yun family's kitchen, which often has half a pig hanging in the kitchen. Stewed pork ribs, braised pork, Dongpo elbow, lion's head, and half a fan of pork will not be wasted! As far as Yun Hao knows, except for the pig's lungs, other places on the pig can be used. Even pig lungs can be fed to dogs. For Mao Liyuan's kitchen, there is not even a piece of pork?

"Pork is cheap meat, and it has a fishy smell, how dare you give it to the nobles." The chef looked at Yun Hao like a mallet, it seems that this Hou Ye is a gourmet, but he may not be a master of cooking. It is estimated that he is also a guy who does not learn and has no skills, and according to the etiquette of pork, it is absolutely not allowed to be on the table. I don't even know ...... this! The head of the cook immediately attributed Yun Hao to the earth leopard from Jinyang, and now there are many such people in Chang'an, and they are rampant.

"Cheap meat? You go to the Yun family to get two pigs, forget it, the Yun family's kitchen has a good one to kill, just ship it directly. Yun Hao finally understood that there was no gelding habit in these years. Pork has never been gelding, and if it can be delicious, it will be a ghost. The Yun family started gelding a long time ago, and now the pork eaten by the Yun family is all gelding.

"This ......!" The head of the cook was a little embarrassed, and he used pork to feast, which was inconsistent with the etiquette system.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"No!" A well-wisher can't stop a dead man, and the head cook is helpless. promised on the lips, but in his heart he was thinking about how to shirk once something happened.

Li Yuan in the Taiji Palace took Li Mi's hand and got along very well, looking back on the traditional friendship between the two families. At the same time, I looked forward to a bright future!

Divide the house, divide the land, divide the wife, and have the title of a duke. The two of them are like brothers, if Li Yuan is not the emperor, it is estimated that he can drink blood wine and worship his son now. That's it, whenever Li Yuan mentions Li Mi, he calls him his younger brother. What a mess of ceremonial ceremonies!

Li Mi is naturally grateful, it is rare to meet such a good person when he is down! Li Mi said gratefully, big brother! Brother will be with you from now on!

This time the pair lasted from noon to early evening. This is very rare for Li Yuan, who has handled everything!

At the end of the recital, three decrees were issued. One of them is to worship Li Mi as the Guanglu doctor.

The second is to enter Li Mi as the Duke of Xing Guo, with 800 households!

Third, in view of the fact that Mr. Li Mi is currently single, the cousin of Li Yuan is specially generalized. Dugu Huaien's sister was given to marry the Duchess of Xingguo, and the marriage will be completed one day. Who doesn't know the nobles who came from the Great Sui Dynasty that the Dugu family is the main production area of noble beauties. The queen alone is out of two.

Everyone looked at Li Mi with envy, and he was born with a golden key and said that this is the kind of person. mixed with this grandmother's virtue, there is still such treatment in Chang'an. There's no way, who made the ancestors of the family cows.

When Yun Hao heard the will, he deeply felt worthless for Li Yuan. Li Mi is a person who has been the boss, no matter how good the treatment you give, it is still inevitable that he is the little brother. This kind of person is a wolf who can't be fed. Yun Hao sincerely hoped that Li Yuan would not have too many illusions about this good friend, so as not to be heartbroken in the future.

The crabs were steamed, and Yun Hao picked out a few males to stay. The female crabs were all put in a beautiful appearance and brought to the Jinde Palace.

Opening the lid of the crab, Yun Hao scooped a spoonful with a spoon and put it into his mouth. With your eyes closed, feel the smell of crab. If you don't know how to eat crabs, you will eat female crabs, especially if you like to eat red crab roe. In fact, those who can eat crabs like to eat male crabs, and the thick ointment is the supreme delicacy.

Li Yuan was a little stunned when he saw that it was not pickled crabs that were served. Thinking of Yun Hao's good reputation in the food world, he tried to open it. After taking a bite of crab roe, my eyes suddenly lit up. Just as he was about to put down the chopsticks and continue to poke, Su Jin, the head of the chamberlain, immediately handed over a small spoon.

"Your Majesty! This is what Yun Hou ordered to be sent, and it is used to eat crabs. ”

Li Yuan looked at the set of gadgets, there were scissors, there were pliers, well, this is to deal with crab claws. The small spoon is for digging crab roe, and there are buttoned ear spoons next to it, and I don't know what it does.

Li Mi was also a little confused with these things, he had eaten crabs for decades, and he used this thing for the first time. Afraid of being ridiculed by others, he didn't dare to move at all.

"Hahaha! If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and this kid does it. Call me to the clouds and come up with these things, who will use them. Let him cover it up! ”

"Your Majesty! I don't know which lord Yunhou is? Why has the minister never heard of it? ”

"I followed one of my children when I was in the palace, a very good child. Hahaha! ”

Yun Hao was eating crabs, and when he heard Li Yuan's call, he immediately arrived at the Jinde Palace.

"Yun Hao, hurry up and see Xing Guogong." When Li Yuan saw Yun Hao, he immediately beckoned forward. Li Mi couldn't help but glance at Yun Hao a few more times, this is a favored guy, this is Li Mi's first impression.

However, Li Mi looked left and right, and seemed to feel that this young man was a little familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while.

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister has seen Xing Guogong before. It's also an old man! ”

"Oh, you've seen me? No wonder you feel familiar, you are ......" Li Mi couldn't think of it, so he could only ask each other.

"Huh! Xing Guogong is a noble person, when he was in Erxianzhuang, Yun Hao was still a naughty boy. Xing Guogong couldn't think of it for a while, and it was inevitable. ”

"You're ......!" Li Mi pointed at Yun Hao, and pressed back the word "demon". Yun Hao can be regarded as the most impressive child in this world. Later, I just heard Qin Qiong say that Yun Hao arrived at Li Yuan's mansion. didn't know that Yun Hao actually got a marquis's hat. Counting, this kid is seventeen or eighteen years old this year, which is rare! Rare!

"Since it's an old acquaintance, we'll talk about it after friendship. I and the ministers won't use all these things you have. You can show it to everyone! Li Yuan commanded from above.

It turned out that he was calling himself to perform and eat crabs, and Yun Hao looked down on these Tang turtles. But Li Yuan let me demonstrate, so I'll show you. Take scissors and cut off the crab's legs, open the lid and scoop the crab roe with a spoon. The pincers are used to deal with the crab's pincers, and the ear-spoon-like thing is stuffed into the crab's leg, and a piece of crab meat is poked out.

The ministers did the same and began to eat crabs. But when Yun Hao finished eating a crab and washed his hands in the huge tea bowl, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Li Yuan looked at the empty giant bowl and immediately became angry.
