If the banquet is only like this, it will only appear to be the luxury of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

So after the clock struck midnight, the maids rushed in, took all the food, wine, and snacks on everyone's table, and emptied the table.

"The New Year is here, so the Chinese New Year's Eve wine banquet New Year's dumplings, my Tang has not been able to eat the New Year's dumpling banquet for so many years. Come ......"

Li Daozong commanded, and the maids began to enter in turn again.

There are only three dumplings per person per plate.

Heracliu pointed to the dumplings on the plate and asked Li Daozong: "You just said that you have never eaten it alone, is there any difficulty?" ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry, this is just the beginning, the dumplings will continue to be on the rise, and they will definitely not be the same."

Li Daozong is full of confidence, because it is true that no one has eaten all the varieties of dumplings, and he used to eat them very hard, and he did not even pass the level of boiled dumplings, and then there were steamed, fried, and mixed.

It is claimed that there are 999 kinds, but in fact, the total number of brands last year was 570 kinds, and this year it has increased to 609 kinds.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty once issued a special decree that within ten years, the dumpling banquet must reach the full number.

The fifty-seventh course, steamed dumplings with glutinous rice and shrimp in crystal skin.

The Roman Emperor Heraclius felt very delicious just by seeing this steamed dumpling, and he sat up with great difficulty, and tried a lot of effort to get the fork, but it was too strong to reach for his hand.

When I reached out to grab the crystal shrimp dumplings, the fifty-eighth dumpling had already been served.

The flowers of mandarin duck steamed dumplings bloom richly, which is only one of the nineteen kinds of mandarin duck steamed dumplings.

Heraclius began to struggle, he knew that he couldn't eat it anymore, this one looked half red and half green, it seemed to be more delicious, eat one more, which one to choose?

There is no chance to choose at all, because the next thing is the crystal jade rabbit fresh meat dumplings.

Then there are the peony steamed dumplings......

Five-color plum steamed dumplings......

Pearl fish soup dumplings......

Heraclius felt a sense of despair, and suddenly he stood up, trotted a few steps to a tree, took out a bottle of something I don't know what it was, and poured it into his mouth, and in the blink of an eye, Heraclius vomited wildly.

While rinsing his mouth, Heraclius had a victorious look on his face, quickly swept more than a dozen kinds of dumplings on the table, and then looked at the door of the banquet hall expectantly, looking forward to the maid who brought the dumplings in.

Li Daozong was stunned, there could still be such a thing.

Although he had heard that the old Roman aristocracy could not think of a way to express their luxurious life, someone had developed an emetic that did not have any pleasure.

A table of wine and meat was eaten until it was stretched, and then vomited.

After the slave cleaned up the table, he put on a new table of wine and meat, and then the cycle continued.

Li Daozong has no appetite at all.

In the end, Heraclius and the Roman Senate were still defeated, and it was very uncomfortable to vomit too many times, the brand of dumplings did not exceed four hundred, and all the Roman nobles in the entire banquet hall were carried back.

Li Daozong also left, at least he would not come back to this courtyard for at least ten days.

Tomorrow, there will be a rugby on the New Year, and then a small feast. Li Daozong instructed as he walked out: "Give this king a bowl of solid noodles, and everyone will come over in half an hour, this king has something to order." ”

Li Daozong has already decided that he will play a different trick tomorrow.

Constantine, who spoke in Eastern Rome, held such a lavish banquet, in fact, it was similar in Chang'an City.

The difference is that Constantine's banquet had only one purpose, which was to put on a gesture in front of the Roman nobles that made them envious to tears.

Chang'an is different.

Chang'an also roasted camels, but the last half of the two taels of rice was given to one of the most decorated generals during the Western Expedition, not to the Tang Emperor Li Shimin himself.

There is a thousand dumpling feast.

The people who attended the night banquet in the Tai Chi Hall only had ten different kinds of dumplings to choose from.

The people in Chang'an City still like the simplest dumplings stuffed with pork and vegetables, and the nobles like all kinds of steamed dumplings.

Of course, there are also night banquets in the major ports of Africa.

The guards of the port of Djibouti looked at the pots and pots of so-called dumplings, and did not have the slightest appetite.

"General, it's the first time the soldiers are making dumplings."

"It's casual."

Watching the Tang soldiers eat dumplings, the slave soldiers ate the same food as painted noodles, but the dumplings were not wrapped in the pot and scattered.

There was a big bowl per person, and there was still laughter.

Large pieces of bison meat in sauce, large bowls of wine.

The joy of the New Year began to spread from every port and every barracks with Tang Army soldiers to all directions, and in the second half of the night, Datang's ports and bases in Africa, whether it were soldiers or ordinary slave workers, were laughing one after another.

Do you know what the Chinese New Year is?

What does it matter if you know or not, just be happy today.

In the city of Sri Tanra, Yanagi is also eating dumplings, dumpling skins made of fish and fillings. The banquet was almost drunk, and after the New Year's bell, Liu Mu accompanied the Emperor Li Yuan to play mahjong.

On the mahjong table, Cui Junsu reported to Li Yuan without a word about the value-added of various industries in Datang in the past two years.

Li Yuan suddenly put down the cards in his hand: "If you want to say that the land of Liaodong was controversial as early as the former Sui Dynasty, there is a vast and sparsely populated land, and there is nothing worth occupying in the bitter cold land of poor mountains and bad waters." ”

Fang Xuanling said on the side: "What the Emperor Taishang said is not right. ”

"If you have any ideas, let's hear them." Li Yuan asked with a smile and played the cards in his hand at the same time.

Fang Xuanling said: "It's a bitter cold place, and it's not wrong that the former Sui doesn't occupy it." There is a random one there who is crowned as a vassal, and only the stability of the frontier is a good thing. At present, it is different, the income of the DPRK and China is getting higher and higher year by year, and the steel output is doubling year by year, but I ask Liumu, how many days does it really take for the train to travel from Chang'an to Liaodong. ”

Liu Mu didn't care about this kind of Liu Tian originally, but he was stunned for a moment after hearing the question.

Fang Xuanling asked for the second time, and Liu Mucai replied: From Chang'an to Yanzhou, we can't calculate according to the emergency military column, from the route point of view, it must pass through Luoyang, Zhengzhou, Xingzhou, Hengzhou, Yizhou and then arrive in Yanzhou, these big stations must be temporarily stopped for passengers to get on and off the train. There may also be some small stops as well. ”

"Yes. If this is the case, it is indeed impossible to go directly to Yanzhou, and it is not necessary. Fang Xuanling agreed with Liu Mu's words.

Liu Mu then said: "I estimate that I can reach Yanzhou in eighteen hours." Further north, then thirty hours can reach Liaocheng. It would be a bit of a waste to build a railway further north, and Liaocheng I think it will be enough for the time being. ”

Li Yuan suddenly asked, "How many years is this for the time being?" ”
