"Look, isn't this coming?" I raised my hand and pointed out the door, where several servants entered the room with food trays and began to serve food.

Smelling the fragrance of the steaming dishes, Li Shimin couldn't help but sniff and let out a soft sigh. "It's strange, this is clearly a stir-fry core, why is there such an appetizing aroma?"

Hearing Li Shimin's words, Ben Gongzi couldn't help but show a smile, it seems that this condiment did not disappoint. "Brother Xian, you can taste it first." I gestured with my hand raised.

Li Shimin couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and put a chopstick core into his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed carefully. "What a fresh taste, isn't it soy sauce? No, the soy sauce is fresh, but it will never have such a strong umami flavor, and the texture of this core seems to be more smooth. ”

"I'll taste it too, it's so delicious, it's so fragrant." Yaoguang girl couldn't help but move her chopsticks, and after tasting it carefully, she couldn't help but squint her eyes happily and screamed.

As for Li Xuanba, a giant stomach animal, he swept a whole plate of fried vegetable cores with oyster sauce into his mouth in just a few blinks of an eye, smashed his mouth, and nodded his head pretending to follow the screams of Yaoguang's sister like a fart, and began to concentrate on dealing with the meat dishes in front of him, and the other vegetables were almost not touched. I saw that my son was depressed for a while, a typical cow chewing peonies.

Next time, just throw a few large pieces of lamb chops or roast duck, roast chicken, etc., to him, it's too much waste of these dishes carefully cooked by the chef of Ben Gongzi's house.

However, seeing that the Yaoguang girl was dancing with her eyebrows and applauding again and again, my son finally felt comforted in his heart. "Eat slowly, if it's not enough, I'll let them serve it again."

"What kind of spice is this a dish made with? I also ask my brother for advice. After Li Shimin feasted, he wiped his mouth and asked me.

"This is not a soy sauce, but a dish cooked with oyster sauce, how does Brother Xian feel about it?" I didn't sell it, and replied directly.

"Fragrant and mellow, fresh but not greasy, and the aftertaste is left in the mouth, it is really a rare and excellent seasoning." Li Shimin said after smashing his mouth.

As my son raised his hand, it didn't take much effort, Sister Qingxia came with a small jar, and gently rested it on my desk, and when Sister Qingxia opened the lid of the altar, I picked up the unused spoon, scooped a spoon, and put it on a small plate, so that Sister Qingxia handed it to Li Shimin's desk. "This is what you think is a delicious condiment: oyster sauce."

"Oyster sauce?" Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the sauce-colored sticky object in the dish. "Is this thing grease?" As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks, dipped them in a little, put them in his mouth and sipped them carefully, and his eyebrows couldn't help but raise lightly. "It's so fresh, salty and sweet, full of fragrance, it's really good."

"I'll taste it too." Sister Yaoguang took another small dish handed to her by Sister Qingxia and tasted it, and she was also full of praise.

"Why is this called oyster sauce?" Li Shimin said with a puzzled face.

"Therefore, it is a condiment made from oysters from the sea, and it is as thick as fat, so it is called oyster sauce." I replied with a smile. Oysters, presumably most of the people of later generations are familiar with, that is, oysters, this is a kind of mollusk, the body is oval with two shells, living in shallow sea sediment, the meat is delicious, braised and steamed or even raw food can be, the shell can be burned into ashes can be used in medicine, but the southerners do not call oysters but call them oysters, and oyster sauce is a southerner Li Jinshang because of an accidental reason and invented.

It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Li Jinshang, a Cantonese man, boiled oysters and sold them to make a living.

When he arrived at the door, he smelled an enticing strong fragrance, and Li Jinshang, who was surprised, was worried that the oysters were boiled and was curious about the source of this fragrance.

When he entered the house and opened the lid of the pot, what he saw in front of him was a thick layer of thick sweat sinking at the bottom of the pot, the color was tan, and the attractive fragrance was from this liquid, the aroma was very tempting to appetite, so he took a little at random and put it in his mouth to taste, and immediately felt that it was extremely delicious, so a new condiment oyster sauce was invented and born.

It is a typical unintentional willow shady, and it takes no effort to get it. Lee Kum Sheung seized this lucky opportunity to specialize in boiling this new condiment for sale, the fresh and fragrant taste, but also able to mask the fishy smell of many seafood, so it quickly became popular in the coastal area.

In later generations, oyster sauce was necessary in many Cantonese dishes, and the umami flavor of oyster sauce itself was very memorable.

At that time, I thought that it would be great if there was MSG or other freshness seasonings, and it happened that someone was cooking river mussels at that time, which reminded me that there was oyster sauce, a pure natural and pollution-free freshness condiment.

So he sent a letter to the people who were far away in the land of Cochin, asking them to look for oysters and make oyster sauce according to the law, but unexpectedly, more than a year passed in a flash, and it was not until yesterday that such a jar of oyster sauce was received.

This is the best tasting oyster sauce obtained after many tests and cooking, and it is specially presented to this son for tasting, to determine whether it is made in large quantities. The land of Jiaozhi, located in the Beibu Gulf in later generations, is not a small number of oysters in this area.

If it is really possible, then making oyster sauce in large quantities is definitely not a dream.

"This thing is fresh, making the food taste more delicious, fragrant, appetizing, and can't help but be disliked." After Li Shimin took another sip of seaweed egg drop soup, he was very emotional. "There are a lot of brothers, can you send some to the younger brother, and the younger brother can go back......

"There are not many things in this place, only this altar, it is not easy to take. Well, how about I send it to my brother after I find a suitable container to divide it equally? I smiled and replied.

"In this way, thank you brother, when the time comes, the younger brother will take him to Jinyang, so that my father and brother can also taste this delicacy." Li Shimin couldn't help but say happily.

"Second brother, don't give it away, the younger brother still needs to eat." Li Xuanba shouted on the side, in exchange for a roll of the eyes of the Yaoguang girl: "What is the child's urgency?" With Brother Wuji here, are you still afraid that you won't be able to eat it?

Li Xuanba suddenly came to his senses, and couldn't help but be happy: "Yes, there is a third sister here, and the younger brother will just ask you for it at that time." ”

These words made the Yaoguang girl couldn't help but feel dizzy, her beautiful eyes rippled, and she collided with my sight, and for a while, her eyes fused, and she turned away at the touch of a touch, just like the gentle wind at the beginning of spring, and then disappeared in an instant after blowing through the skin.

After sending the Li brothers and sisters out of the mansion, Yaoguang didn't go down the stairs for a long time, as if he was hesitating about something, and after a while, seeing that his brothers had all been on the horse, Fang Zi whispered in my ear: "Little sister also thinks that Li Mi is not credible, but unfortunately the second brother and his father are dazzled by the benefits in front of them, and please don't blame Brother Wuji, if so, if you can, please also ask Brother Wuji to persuade them, okay?" ”

Looking at the eyes of the Yaoguang girl as clear as the bottom of the stream, my heart softened, and I gently shook the slender hand of the Yaoguang sister and whispered: "Don't worry, in two days, I should personally visit my aunt, if my aunt can listen to me, I believe that my uncle should also be vigilant." ”

"Well, thank you for helping me so much." Sister Yaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at me, and then quickly stepped down the steps, jumped on the mount neatly, and chased after the Li brothers.

Looking at the figures of the Li brothers and sisters who gradually drifted away and finally disappeared in the darkness, listening to the crisp sound of hooves, the smile on my face gradually faded, leaving only a little helplessness. After sighing slowly, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the mansion.

The ten guards guarding the gate of the palace saluted me and continued to perform their duties. There are a total of one hundred and twenty guards stationed around this mansion, most of them from my family.

I don't accept any more, after all, this is Chang'an, as the political center of China in the future, if I don't even live here, what is the use of arranging more people?

Back in the bedroom, Sister Qingxia took off the outer cloak on my body and stared at me with a pair of watery eyes. "Childe frowned, could it be that he was worried about something?"

I sat on the couch, held Sister Qingxia's gentle hand, and sighed: "I would have been thinking about the moon, but the bright moon was shining on the ditch." For the sake of others, but misunderstood, you say, son, am I aggrieved? ”

"Well, of course I'm aggrieved, but can Childe tell Qingxia the ins and outs of the matter?" Sister Qingxia nodded, shook my big hand and said warmly.

I didn't hide it, and I told Sister Qingxia about Li Mi's defeat at the hands of Wang Shichong, and then led tens of thousands of Wagang troops to defect to my father-in-law, Li Yuan.

When I persuaded Li Shimin to remind his father to be careful of Li Mi, Li Shimin was a little disapproving, and it could even be said that he was secretly displeased, and he couldn't help but smile to himself. "Speaking of which, my Shimin virtuous brother probably thought that my son was worried that his father's power would rise, so he separated his father and Li Mi."

"How can Childe be such a person" Before the words fell, Sister Qingxia's eyes widened with some indignation. "Then Li Mi's betrayal of the Lord and the evil of killing the Lord, who in the world does not know? Now that he is desperate, he loses his sincerity to Tang Gong, but he doesn't know that he has no ill intentions? ”

I nodded and said, "Tang Gong's acceptance of Li Mi can be regarded as something that cannot be done. After all, Jinyang is a place of four wars, and Tang Gong is surrounded by enemies on all sides, if Li Mi and his tens of thousands of people are obtained, the current predicament can be solved, so that they can draw strength to break the current deadlock. ”
