Chapter Twenty-Four: The Son and the Steamed Egg
"Vomit~" Qin Huaiyu's little white face climbed next to the rockery and kept vomiting, in order to show his manhood in front of the beauties, he drank more than a pound of Wuwang drunk in one go, plus what he drank before, it is estimated that there are at least more than two catties, just now in the main hall, he can no longer hold it out of the main hall, he vomits all the way, it is estimated that tomorrow the subordinate in charge of cleaning the palace will scold him to death.
Their gang of people were frequently toasted by beautiful women in the main hall, and they couldn't even find the north one by one, and it is estimated that even they themselves don't know how much they have drunk? Those who had a poor amount of alcohol, such as Li Yong, Fang Yiai and others, had already climbed on the table and smirked, and they might fall down at any time. Better ones such as Li Ke, Cheng Huailiang, Brother Wei Chi and others are now getting drunk and crazy with excess energy, or punching or howling Chapter 24 The son and the steamed egg are called inconsistent, but Li Jingye, the kid, is in good spirits, and he is not a little drunk when he jumps up and down.
This is a pavilion next to the palace hall, and after their group of more than 20 people escaped from the main hall in embarrassment, they did not go directly back to the banquet hall in the square, but came here to breathe. It's a pity that Qin Huaiyu's kid is too slight, plus vomiting is also contagious, and after a while, a few more boys ran to the side and vomited.
Li Su also drank a lot, although he doesn't like to drink, but in fact, the amount of alcohol is okay, and he can hold up after drinking about a catty. However, the vomiting sound on Qin Huaiyu's side was like a magic sound piercing the ears, it was too disgusting, and Li Su gradually felt a little churning in his stomach, and finally he couldn't help it, and he vomited when he ran out.
When he vomited the contents of his stomach, Li Su felt better. Walking on his fluttering legs, Li Su returned to the pavilion and found that the person who vomited was almost back, so he proposed weakly: "Everyone go back to the venue to drink some sobering soup, and then eat something, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow?" β
"Good idea, my stomach is empty, I'm really hungry now!" Qin Huaiyu replied with a pale face, except for a few who were drunk and crazy and had already drunk on the twenty-fourth chapter of the son and steamed eggs, all the others agreed. So everyone staggered to their feet and dragged the drunk back to the venue.
Careful Wen'er has already made people prepare the decanting soup, this decanting soup is also specially made by Li Su, when preparing for the banquet, Li Su saw that after the next person killed the sheep, he threw away the internal organs, and felt very pity, and he thought of the dish of hot and sour belly soup, so he asked the next person to wash the lamb tripe, and then scrub it with salt, cut it into thin strips, add ginger shreds, soy sauce, salt, pepper, rice wine, etc. and cook together, and then thicken it with vinegar, and finally pour sesame oil, a sour but not cool, spicy but not strong, The salty but not astringent sour and spicy belly soup is ready.
This is a necessary soup at the banquet in Li Su's hometown in later generations, usually in the latter part of the banquet, this soup is not only delicious and appetizing, but also has an excellent hangover effect, and Li Su likes to drink it very much in later generations. However, the main ingredient of hot and sour belly soup is pork belly, and it can barely be replaced if you use lamb tripe.
A bowl of hot and sour belly soup, the taste was stimulated by this sour and spicy taste, Li Su soon broke out in fine sweat, the alcohol in his body seemed to be discharged with sweat, his spirit also recovered a lot, and his stomach was even warmer and more comfortable. Unfortunately, there are no chili peppers, and the spiciness in the soup is slightly lacking.
"Haha~, today is really worth the trip, not only tasted the world's best wine, but the dishes are even more novel and delicious, even this decanting soup is so delicious!" Qin Huaiyu drank two bowls in a row, and then he took a breath and praised, Li Ke and the others also lowered their heads and drank violently, and even Li Yong and a few others who were drunk also let Li Jingye, who was over-spirited, open his mouth and pour a bowl into it.
"Hehe, if you brothers like it, although you often come to the house to sit in the future, I don't dare to say anything else, but for the new way of cooking, the younger brother knows a lot, and it is so delicious that I even want to swallow it with my tongue!" Li Su said with a smile, today he has made a friendship with everyone, but in the future, he will come and go often and increase his friendship with each other.
"That's natural, if it weren't for my grandfather's strict management, I would have wanted to live in Liulang Mansion and wouldn't leave." Li Jingye, an over-energetic guy, didn't know when he came over, and said very excitedly.
"Hahaha~, when you get married at the end of the year, I'm afraid that it will be more than just the British Duke who will take care of you!" Cheng Huailiang's wine strength was suppressed a lot by the sobering soup, and then he came over and laughed at Li Jingye, he was both jealous and envious of Li Jingye's early marriage, but he didn't have any way, who made Princess Qinghe too young?
mentioned Li Jingye's fiancΓ©e, everyone laughed again, when they were in the hall just now, they all saw the granddaughter of Wei Guogong, she was very beautiful, and she was about the same age as Li Jingye, but her temper was very hot, Li Jingye just looked at her a few more times, and was taken the opportunity of the toast by this chick to pour him into a daze, if it weren't for Li Jingye's good amount of wine, it is estimated that they are now the same as Li Yong.
"Cut~, who will be in charge of who at that time?" Li Jingye is still hard-mouthed, as if he was drunk just now, but he didn't dare to resist.
After drinking the sobering soup, everyone laughed and laughed for a while, and finally recovered a lot of spirits, Li Su, Qin Huaiyu and others vomited their stomachs just now, and now they are all hungry, so they rushed to the table to eat Hesai, and before he could fill his stomach, he saw Li Zhi, a little kid, follow a group of underage princes and princesses into the venue, and these underage children were all arranged in the side hall and were taken care of by special people.
Li Su watched these brothers and sisters come in, and first asked Li Shimin, who was drinking and having fun, to say goodbye, Li Shimin was playing happily, and waved his hand to let them leave. Li Zhi seemed to have something to do with Li Su, and found him in the crowd as soon as he came in, so as soon as he saw Li Shimin letting them leave, he immediately led this group of people to kill Li Su's side.
"Sixth brother, I can be regarded as finding you!" Li Zhi sat down next to Li Su, grabbed a piece of roast mutton from Li Su's plate and said while nibbling on it.
"What's wrong with my son? You don't play in the side hall, why are you here? Li Su looked at her son-in-law and seemed to be unhappy, and Qinghe, who was a sister, whispered to comfort her from time to time.
"Woo~, Brother Jiu doesn't let his son eat roast duck, nor does he let his son eat roast mutton, only let his son drink juice and eat those undelicious dishes, my son is so pitiful!" The little girl saw that Li Su asked herself, and threw herself into Li Su's arms while crying and complaining.
"What's going on?" Li Zhi frowned and looked at Li Zhi, it stands to reason that Li Zhi and his son-in-law were both born to the eldest grandson, and Li Zhi usually loves his son-in-law the most, so he shouldn't let his son-in-law eat for no reason.
"Don't blame the pheasant slave for this!" Qinghe, the spicy little girl, stood up and defended Li Zhi and said, "My son has been weak and sick since he was a child, some time ago, Imperial Doctor Sun personally diagnosed and treated his son, and once instructed him, don't let him eat too much greasy and fishy things, just now after he tasted the roast duck and roast mutton at the banquet, he liked it very much, and clamored to eat, but the pheasant slave was afraid that the son would eat too much and his body couldn't stand it, so he stopped it." β
"Yes, Sixth Brother, the few new dishes at the banquet are indeed delicious, but they are not suitable for the son, so we came to you to see if we can ask the cook in your house to cook some light and chic dishes?" Li Zhi also said helplessly, he loves this sister the most, if those dishes could be let her eat, he would have let her eat them a long time ago.
"Well, what's this......" Li Su looked at the little face of the son pouting with an angry face, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, don't look at the son is usually quite sensible, but after all, he is still a three-year-old child, and he doesn't listen to anyone when he is stubborn.
"Yes, there is no need for a cook at all, this time the sixth brother will cook something delicious for his son!" Li Su snapped his fingers, and said with a flash of inspiration. He knew a lot about light and chic dishes, but he couldn't make them now if they were too complicated, but he thought of a kind of food that he often gave his children to eat when he was a child in his previous life, which was simple and easy to make and very delicious, and his son definitely liked it.
"Sixth brother, do you still know how to cook?" Li Zhi made a fuss on his face, and his son stopped crying, looking at this magical sixth brother curiously, while the other younger brothers and sisters all looked at Li Su with suspicion, obviously not believing Li Su's words.
"Don't believe it, do you? I'll show you now! Li Su couldn't stand the suspicion of others, so he rolled up his sleeves and asked his subordinates to prepare materials and utensils.
After a while, a pot on the stove was carried in, and at the same time Li Su wanted to use the things were also ready, he picked up a small basin, beat a lot of eggs in one breath, and then opened it with chopsticks, and put twice as much warm water into it, stirred it after adding salt, and sprinkled some green onions on it, and after the water in the pot was boiled, put the eggs on the cage drawer and steamed them on it, after more than ten minutes, Li Su asked people to bring the basin down, and cut the eggs that condensed into jelly like pieces with chopsticks. Then pour some vinegar, drizzle with sesame oil, and a bowl of steamed eggs with a fragrant and salty flavor is ready.
Don't look at the simple method of steaming eggs, but it is sour, salty and delicious and extremely smooth, Li Su had a big bowl of steaming for him at home when he celebrated his birthday in his previous life, so he was very impressed. Originally, this way of eating was very common in later generations, and it is estimated that some people in Datang also ate like this, but last time he asked Wen'er to order steamed eggs when he made supper for himself, Wen'er didn't know how to do it, so Li Su also asked a lot of cooks in the house, but no one had heard of this practice, and it was estimated that this practice had not yet spread in the Guanzhong area of Datang.
"Hmm~, it's so fragrant, just smelling this smell makes people drool!" Qinghe snorted his small nose and looked greedy, and his son was also attracted by this fragrance, looking at Li Su with blank eyes, and the other younger brothers and sisters reacted similarly, and even many people nearby who attended the banquet were also attracted by the fragrance, but they were embarrassed to gather around these princes and princesses.
Li Su was not in a hurry, and after the temperature was not too hot, he took a small bowl and served a bowl to his son, and asked proudly: "Son, do you want to taste whether the sixth brother is delicious?" β
The son couldn't wait for a long time, first tasted it lightly, and immediately was stimulated by the sour, salty and delicious taste, and ate all the eggs in the bowl with three or two eyes shining, and then held the small bowl high and said: "Sixth brother and sixth brother, the son still wants it!" β
Li Yu laughed, and hurriedly added another bowl to his son, and these younger brothers and sisters around him were also greedy, after all, they were not very old, the older Ruqinghe was only twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger one was about the same as the son, and it was the time to be greedy. Li Su had long expected this situation, so he used this kind of big bowl, and he would never be able to eat it with his son's small stomach.
"What are you still doing, everyone prepares bowls and spoons, and comes to taste the craftsmanship of the sixth brother!" Li Su was very interested, and pointed to the younger brothers and sisters who were still stunned.
With Li Su's order, these princes and princesses reacted immediately, grabbed the bowl and stretched it out in front of Li Su, "Sixth brother, sixth brother~" One is sweeter than the other, and even in order to compete for the seat, Li Zhen and Li Shen almost fought. Fortunately, Li Su, the sixth brother, still has some prestige, knocked the heads of these two dishonest guys to calm them down, and then Li Su gave each person a bowl, and for a while, more than a dozen little guys just lowered their heads and ate big.
Li Su hadn't eaten enough, and his appetite had already been adjusted by the steamed eggs, so he filled himself a bowl and was just about to eat it, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him say.
"Son, what kind of food have you made here? The aroma is so appetizing that my father can't help but want to taste it. As soon as he heard this title, he knew that it was Li Shimin who was coming, and Li Su hurriedly turned around and saluted. Li Shimin was originally drinking happily with the ministers, but he accidentally saw that his young children were surrounding Li Su, and he came over with curiosity, and he smelled an appetizing fragrance more than a dozen steps away, so he asked this question.
"Father, this is the egg that the sixth brother specially steamed for his son, you can taste it, it's delicious!" Before Li Su could speak, the woman rushed into Li Shimin's arms with a bowl and raised a spoonful of steamed eggs for Li Shimin to taste, this little girl is both sensible and pleasing to adults, no wonder everyone likes her when they see her.
Li Shimin saw that his son was so sensible, and his face had already bloomed, not to mention that his son was fed delicious steamed eggs, it was estimated that he could swallow even a spoonful of mud.
"Well, it's delicious, it's amazing that a small egg can be so smooth and salty!" Li Shimin also praised loudly after taking a bite, but then his face changed, as if he had thought of something, and immediately said to Li Su, "Su'er, your mother has no appetite during her illness, this steamed egg is appetizing, you immediately let people teach the method of making this thing to the palace, and let people make it for your queen mother tomorrow!" β
Li Su was taken aback by Lao Li's rapidly changing face, but he didn't expect that he thought of Empress Changsun, so he immediately said: "Yes!" Sons obey! β
"Father, don't be so troublesome, this steamed egg method is very simple, the pheasant slave learned it after watching it just now, so I will make it for the queen mother tomorrow!" Li Zhi is not very old, but he is very experienced in grabbing credit.
"Good, good! The filial piety of the pheasant slave is commendable, and he is very pleased with his father! Li Shimin saw that his children were so sensible, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, and stroked Li Zhi's head and praised him again and again. When the other princes and princesses saw Li Zhi being praised, they all jumped out one by one and said that they would do it.
In the end, Li Shimin walked in front of Li Su, looked at this son who was almost as tall as himself, patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction, and said earnestly: "Su'er, this banquet is good, not only is it satisfactory to my father, but almost all the ministers who came to participate praised him, you have finally grown up!" β
"Thank you for your father's praise, this is all because of your good teaching, and you are an example in front of your sons, so that your sons can reform and be a new person." Although it is a bit numb, the emperor's father's sycophants can't help but shoot.
"Hahaha~, although I know it's a sycophant, but I like it very much for my father." Li Shimin's face is not ordinarily thick, and it is even more rare to joke with Li Su, but after laughing for a while, he then said, "Your mother just sent someone to send the long and short sentences of your new work, saying that the poem is like its person, and the open-minded and optimistic attitude in the poem is appreciated by my father, and I will do more things to make your mother happy in the future, she has worried a lot about you over the years, and even secretly cried behind her back, don't let her down again!" β
"Sons remember the teachings of their father!" Li Su's heart was hot, at this time Li Shimin was really like a father rather than an emperor, a few gentle words made Li Su's nose sour, and the father in his previous life and Li Shimin in front of him had faintly overlapped.
"Hehe, don't be these little daughter gestures!" Li Shimin patted Li Su's shoulder a few more times, then reached out and snatched the steamed egg in Li Su's hand, ate it in a few bites, and served a bowl himself!!, and then Shi Shiran took people away.
