The three of them walked quickly to the entrance of the street, and at a glance they saw Li Shimin wearing an ordinary robe, and he was bending down in front of a stall in a novelty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When I got closer, I saw the old man behind the stall holding a spoonful in his hand, and on an iron plate in front of him, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced. The red and thick filamentous liquid in the spoon slowly fell onto the iron plate, and a large peony was outlined on the iron plate as the old man held the spoon.

Xia Hongsheng walked over, and saw that the old man suddenly withdrew his hand, and then pressed a small wooden stick down, and then the thin shovel in his other hand went down diagonally, and with a quick shovel, the peony flower was separated from the iron plate.

"Take it! It's sweet! The old man pinched the small wooden skewer and handed the peony flower to Li Shimin.

"My husband is really a good craft!" Li Shimin said with a smile while taking the peony flower. The guards next to him handed over the copper coins.

The old man was praised, smiled very happily, and said, "It's good to be able to get into the eyes of the nobles—hey, son!" ”

Xia Hongsheng waved his hand with a smile and said, "Old man Chen, your craftsmanship is becoming more and more skilled. ”

"On your Zhuangzi, there has never been a shortage of this novelty." Li Shimin happily took the sugar painting peony flower in his hand and said: "It's a pity that this thing is candy, otherwise you can take it back and call it the emperor...... Well, your mother-in-law also has a novelty. ”

"Father-in-law, this sugar painting can't be put down, it's soft when it's hot, and it's crispy when it's dry, it's something that has to be eaten." Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "However, this sugar painting book is not for eating, but for the fun of drawing things with sugar silk." Now that Chang'an arrives in Jingyang so quickly, my father-in-law can take my mother-in-law to Jingyang for a few days and stay for a few days. The house in the academy has a stove ready, so it won't be cold when you go in. ”

Li Shimin nodded and left there with a smile.

Everyone went forward, and when they reached the long street where the tables were set, they saw square tables extending one after another, and they couldn't see the end at a glance. Li Shimin couldn't help but be taken aback: "Good guy! How many people have you entertained? Why is this table set up like this, and there are so many places on both sides, why not put it together? ”

"Back to my father-in-law's words, this is exactly a feature that Jingyang County wants to launch in the future, called the Long Street Hundred Table Banquet......" Xia Hongsheng told Li Shimin again the words that explained the Long Street Hundred Table Banquet to Taiyi He yesterday, and Li Shimin was frequently surprised when he heard it.

“…… This long street hundred table banquet is only held three times a year, and the son-in-law originally planned that the first time was that outsiders were not allowed to enter the banquet. Because this is the first time, it was prepared by the son-in-law for the father-in-law, and every year there are many people in our Datang who have made contributions to the court and the people. The father-in-law can gather these people who have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, the court, and the people every year to have a hundred tables of banquets on this long street. First, it expresses the court's gratitude for their contributions, and secondly, it makes them feel the kindness of your father-in-law, and they will serve more diligently in the future. The son-in-law thinks that whether or not he can enter the first seat of the year is up to his father-in-law, and he thinks that people should be selected by contribution, rather than by status, rich and poor. The second and third seats in the future are the ...... left by the son-in-law to Jingyang County"

"With the first seat of the meritorious person who I reward every year, and the second and third seats of you, I am afraid that people will flock to it, and it will only be the noble and rich. You Jingyang has poured in so many nobles and rich people, and people come to eat, live and play, so you can do business. Yes and no?! Li Shimin interrupted Xia Hongsheng's words, raised his eyebrows and stared at Xia Hongsheng with a strange smile, and said.

Xia Hongsheng was scheming by the Tao, and hurriedly smiled: "Ah! Father-in-law is wise! No matter what kind of careful thinking the son-in-law has, it seems that he can't hide your father-in-law's eyes! The son-in-law does have this thought, only when Jingyang's business goes up, can the son-in-law better try it...... Yes! ”

Li Shimin looked at Xia Hongsheng, laughed, turned his head to Taiyi He and Sun Simiao, and said: "This kid has a bad stomach, but today I am the same two people, but he has calculated it!" It seems that we have to let go of our belly and eat a big meal, so that he can break his fortune once! ”

As everyone spoke, many people began to pour dishes on the hundreds of square tables. Suddenly, the aroma of various delicacies rises, and the surrounding area is full of mouth-watering gastronomic aromas.

Because there are many people served, the banquet is also set up very quickly.

Not long after, the housekeeper of the Xia Mansion ran over and said to Xia Hongsheng: "Son, it's all set!" It's time for you to take your seats! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and secretly instructed the housekeeper to drive the people around him away, and then asked the housekeeper to retreat, and then turned to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to take the seat!" ”

Li Shimin nodded yes, took a few steps forward, and asked again: "This ...... You really don't have a seat at this feast. ”

"This is the son-in-law's deliberate!" Xia Hongsheng said to Li Shimin, then lowered his voice, and said: "In this way, the monarch and the ministers eat together spontaneously, doesn't it seem that you are approachable father-in-law?" ”

As soon as Xia Hongsheng said this, Li Shimin suddenly understood. As an emperor, he is the most important thing to rule over his ministers. Sometimes it is not only necessary to be high and majestic, but also to lower some postures, which is easier to make people feel close and return to their hearts.

Everyone has already entered the table, a pair of delicate bamboo chopsticks that are slightly longer than usual, and a small and exquisite small bowl have been handed out to everyone.

Because the dishes and chopsticks are distributed in one place, everyone is here at the moment.

"Colleagues, don't come and greet Your Majesty!" Imperial Physician He immediately shouted.

Everyone was shocked and looked over one after another, and then they finally saw Li Shimin in a micro-suit, and immediately hurriedly came over to salute.

"No, no!" Li Shimin said with a smile: "Today's banquet of 100 tables on the long street is for you, and it is to thank you for your seven years of sleeping, perseverance, and finally becoming the medical canon of "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions". As soon as this book comes out, I don't know how many people in the world will be deeply benefited by it. Only know that you have the merits of the people, and you should leave it for generations! ”

"Your Majesty!" The doctors were excited and bowed down one after another.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Today's banquet of 100 tables on the long street, the main party is you, but I have been stained with your light and have a delicious meal. Hahahaha, today's banquet, there are no seats, you are not polite, and eat safely, choose as you like, and eat spontaneously! Hurry up and move your chopsticks, I'm already salivating! ”

Everyone immediately burst out laughing, and at this moment it seemed that there was no gap or difference between the monarch and the minister, and they all became greedy mouthfuls who ate at the same table.

Everyone went out one after another, or one person searched alone, or in groups of three or five, facing the dazzling array of delicacies in front of them, and for a while they didn't know which one to choose, and hoped to taste all of them. (To be continued.) )
