Chapter 121: An Unusual After-Dinner (Part I)
The eldest grandson Sheng had not been to Yang Guang's mansion for many days to teach, and he also wanted to take advantage of today's nothing to do and make up for Yang Guang's lessons, so he nodded and agreed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ding San'er listened to the meaning of Yang Guang's words, and obviously acquiesced to letting the new chef take care of this dinner, and couldn't help but stiffen his neck and shouted: "Lord Wang, today's raw roasted lamb leg, I have smeared it with salt and pickled it in advance according to your instructions, I see that the new kid may not be able to do it......"
At this time, Yang Guangcai had some taste: Ding San'er was deliberately competing with Xie Wei for favor.
"Okay, okay, today's meal will be jointly managed by you and Xie Wei, and each person will make a main dish. Stand down. Yang Guangji waved his hand at Ding San'er impatiently, signaling him to leave quickly.
Li Yuan sat aside, watching with great interest Ding San'er come to fight with Xie Yan and be jealous, seeing that Ding San'er was half-coaxed and half-rushed out of the dormitory by Yang Guang, he hurriedly said that he wanted to go to the toilet, and followed Ding San'er out of the dormitory.
"Lord, in your opinion, what kind of answer will the court give to Chu Luoyu?" Changsun Sheng took the initiative to pull the topic back, and asked Yang Guangdao in the posture of a master examination student.
Yang Guang watched Li Yuan follow Ding San'er and walked out, still wondering if he would find Ding San'er in private and ask him to spy on Xie Wei from the side. ”
"This is natural. However, His Highness didn't understand, and I asked how to answer at the moment? Changsun Sheng continued to ask with a smile.
How to reply to Luo Throat, didn't you say it clearly? Yang Guang's attention shifted to the conversation with Changsun Sheng again, and he had an idea, and asked Changsun Sheng: "Sir, hasn't he already offered a good plan to his father?" Xiao Wang didn't dare to discuss the affairs of the imperial court, and asked Mr. to make it clear. ”
Eldest Sun Sheng smiled, and only lightly spit out four words: "No reply." ”
No reply?! What a reply! Yang Guang was puzzled.
Changsun Sheng waved his hand to Xian Yuluo and motioned him to step back, and then explained to Yang Guang: "As His Royal Highness said, I have made a suggestion to the emperor in person when I entered the palace yesterday, and it is not appropriate to give a clear answer to the father and son of Luo Yu at this time, and the emperor has also adopted my advice." Your Highness, please think about it, compared to the previous Zhou, will my Great Sui continue the previous dynasty, or will a new dynasty be established? Obviously, a new dynasty was established, so how the relationship between the Great Sui and the Turks was defined and divided has nothing to do with the previous dynasty. In the letter of state that he presented to the imperial court a few days ago, he asked me to inherit the precedent of the previous dynasty and pay tribute to it, isn't it full of absurd words? The fact that our imperial court did not reply to this could not only show it the completely different stance and attitude of our Great Sui towards the Turks and the previous dynasty, but also leave more ample time for future rearmament and warfare, and at the same time leave room for the separation of its various tribes. I don't hide it from His Highness, I came here today to come at the emperor's behest. Yesterday in the Wude Palace, the emperor personally told me that the king of Jin is the governor of the state, and sooner or later he will go out of the north of the town and deal more with the Turks, you might as well ask him how to deal with the Turks? That's why I asked. ”
Yang Guang is the second time today that he has heard someone talk about the news that he is about to leave the town and merge the state, but for some reason, he heard Changsun Sheng talk about it at the moment, and his father Yang Jian ordered Changsun Sheng to ask him how to deal with the Turks, but he was not as excited and joyful as when he heard Yu Xiaoren reveal to him in the morning that he was about to open a mansion and build a government, but he really felt a heavy pressure.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Changsun Sheng said was extremely reasonable: not replying, in ordinary people's ears, can be understood as a disdainful reply, a negative reply, or a reply that has not yet been answered, so that the Turkic Shabalu Khan, who sent the envoy, is suspicious, so as to avoid the possibility of angering him by directly refusing his demand, which will lead to the immediate resumption of war in the north, which can indeed be called a clever move.
Yang Guangyu was immersed in the careful taste of the good strategy that the eldest grandson Sheng offered to his father Yang Jian to deal with the Turks, when he saw Li Yuan Shi Ran returning to the palace, and said to himself: "I am just outside the hall, how can I see that the new Chef Xie has already cooked the dishes and is waiting." Lord, you can eat. ”
Yang Guang didn't expect Xie Wei to prepare the meal so quickly, so he had to pass on the order, set up three cases in the main hall, and accompanied Changsun Sheng to the main hall to eat.
However, when Yang Guang accompanied Changsun Sheng and Li Yuan into the main hall in the front yard, they only saw three golden and burnt leg of mutton on the three pairs of cases in the hall, and there were no other dishes.
Isn't this roast leg of lamb Ding San'er's best dish? When I was in the dormitory, I heard him say that he had prepared a roast leg of lamb for himself for today's dinner, why didn't he see where Xie Wei's dish was placed?
Yang Guang was suspicious in his heart, in front of Changsun Sheng and Li Yuan, and it was inconvenient to pass on Xie Yan to ask in person, so he pretended to be casual, beckoned Changsun Sheng to sit down, raised his nose and sniffed, but felt a smell of meat coming to his nose, and said to Changsun Sheng with a smile: "Please sir, please taste it, how does this dish taste like a raw roasted lamb leg?" ”
Changsun Sheng didn't know what to do, cleaned his hands, tore open a piece of lamb leg and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, nodding his head again and again: "Well, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, salty and crispy, it can be called delicious." Lord, I see that this method of roasting lamb leg is quite similar to the Turkic way of eating, they are all roasted raw with the whole leg of mutton, but this leg of lamb is smeared with salt before roasting, as if there are other seasonings, unlike the Turks, who are dipped in salt to eat. ”
Before he finished speaking, Ding San'er suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and explained to Changsun Sheng for Yang Guang with great enthusiasm: "The general is worthy of being a person of knowledge, and what he said is exactly what he said. The original method of this raw roasted lamb leg I made was the same as that of the Turks, and it was not dipped in salt, but my prince was not used to eating it, so he specially told me to smear it with salt before it was broiled. Today I not only smeared the leg of lamb with salt, but also tried to smear a layer of secret sauce, can the general still eat it? ”
Yang Guang didn't see Xie Shi's figure, but saw that Ding San'er was not as good as usual, and kept nagging at Changsun Sheng, and he was surprised, and he couldn't help but pick up a piece of lamb leg with a chopstick, and put it in his mouth, but he felt salty and light, crispy and moderate, and what Ding San'er did in the past was not only worlds apart, but he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
