Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 128 Terrible hot pot!

Otherwise, my brain will explode.

"Your Majesty, please. And everyone else, please too."

The old man held out his hand in invitation.

Then he led the way.

On the road.

The old man was not idle either, and he tried to ask questions from all sides regarding the matter of protecting the gold and silver.

Li Shimin evaded all these.

What Jinwu Guards? What does he know?

he does not know!

Feeling Li Shimin's attitude, the old man did not make any more hints, because he had already gained a lot of information from it.

Chatting.

The old man took Li Shimin to the ice room in the underground palace.

"Your Majesty, the food is already prepared. You can eat right away when you enter."

"I just don't know what your Majesty, your Highness Xiao Sizi, and everyone else like to eat, so I will prepare the most popular hot pot in Chang'an City these days."

"Your Majesty, please."

The old man stood at the door and spoke respectfully.

hot pot?

Isn't this exactly the delicacy he wanted to prepare for his precious daughter?

If we eat at Wangyun Inn, we can save the imperial kitchen a hotpot meal.

“Wow, hot pot!”

The little Sizi, who was originally taking a nap, immediately opened his eyes as bright as the twinkling stars when he heard about hot pot, and saliva was floating in the air around his little mouth, which might fall to the ground at any time.

"Pfft, little Sizi, you, you got up just because you heard about food?"

Li Shimin was amused and couldn't help but tapping the little Sizi's head.

"Ah!" Little Sizi covered his head and muttered, "Father, Sizi didn't, Sizi is just hungry."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm hungry, it's our little Sizi who is hungry, let's go in and eat."

Holding little Sizi in his arms, Li Shimin walked in first.

Changsun Wuji and his two companions followed closely behind.

Inside the igloo, there was a table with a copper pot on it and various plates surrounding it.

"Your Majesty, please enjoy these two jars of wine slowly. These two jars of wine were brewed by Your Majesty himself. They taste very good. If you have nothing else to do, I will not disturb you."

I bow slightly.

Li Shimin waved his hand.

The old man has retired.

There was some silence in the igloo.

We all looked at the boiling hot pot without saying a word. If you didn't move, I wouldn't move either.

The unique aroma of hot pot has begun to spread.

Everyone just felt that the saliva in their mouths was secreted crazily.

I have to say, in this hot summer, eating hot and spicy hot pot in a cool ice house, the taste is absolutely amazing! !
This is also Qin Changye’s favorite way of eating, ice and fire!
As hotpot is a delicacy that has recently become popular in Chang'an City, they have all eaten it.

But the hot pot in front of me is a little different.

The bottom of the pot is too red!
There are also many seasonings that I have never seen before, which are not available in Wangyun Inn.

The packaging of the two jars of wine next to it is also a bit strange.

"Hehe, Father, it's time to eat!"

Little Sizi picked up the chopsticks and pretended to eat.

But Li Shimin stopped her.

This hotpot is different from the one in Wangyun Inn. There might be something inedible in it. He doesn’t dare let his precious daughter eat it first.

"Little Sizi, wait a moment."

"Father will teach you today. When it comes to eating, you have to wait for the elders to start eating first."

"Fuji, Keming, and Wei Zheng, you've been walking around for the whole afternoon. You've all worked hard. Come eat and stop looking."

Li Shimin spoke to the three people in a very "kind" manner with a somewhat stiff smile.

It’s better to let these three people test out this hot pot.

No problem, let my baby daughter eat it.

The three of them looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, if you don't eat, how dare I eat?" Changsun Wuji replied.

"Yes, Your Majesty, you should move first, then we can start eating." Du Ruhui showed the smile of an old fox.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it’s not that we don’t want to eat, but we are afraid that we will touch upon something that Wangyun Inn doesn’t know about, which would be too embarrassing.

I have never seen ice being made, I have never seen colored glass, and I don’t know how the Embroidered Spring Sword is cast, but that’s not all.

But it would be so embarrassing if the food you eat makes you look ridiculous.

Your Majesty, I feel very sad.

After all, he is one of the eighteen scholars, so at least give him some face.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is a sequence of etiquette." Chang Sun Wuji said with a fake smile, "Your Majesty first."

"is it?"

"Hahaha!"

Li Shimin laughed twice, looked at Wei Zheng, and said, "How can we have a meal without wine? Wei Zheng, pour me some wine first to moisten my throat. I have been walking for a long time."

Damn!

Don’t even think about making me the first one to eat this weird hotpot and make a fool of myself!
Li Shimin didn't care anymore. These old bastards, can't I punish you?

Drink first.

After drinking, let’s see how you can still hold back!
Li Shimin was still very confident about drinking in the hotel.

Thinking back to the time when I was fighting outside, I often drank with my soldiers. When have I ever been cowardly?

However, I'm afraid that these two old men, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui, may not be able to do it.

Although the Tang Dynasty has great love for wine.

No matter men, women, young or old, everyone can enjoy a few bites.

But most people still can't accept taking a few sips, then drinking bowl after bowl.

Li Shimin had already made up his mind to drink the two men to death, and he would keep drinking until they could no longer resist eating.

Haha!

Still want to fight me!
Don’t even look at your own virtues!
Li Shimin was extremely excited and very satisfied with the wonderful idea he had come up with.

Little Sizi standing aside, however, was full of resentment.

When you are away from home, my second brother taught me to give face to my family.

So Li Shimin told her that she couldn't eat it for the time being, and Xiao Sizi did as he said, in order to maintain her father's face.

But what are they doing now?
I don’t even eat hotpot!
Just chat there!
So angry!

The little Sizi blew air into his little mouth, squatted on the ground and drew circles with full of resentment.

[Today, my father wants to starve me to death. I will remember this grudge.]

She kept drawing circles to express her dissatisfaction.

but.

No matter how dissatisfied he was, he would not go against Li Shimin's wishes and eat hotpot.

After all, her second brother taught her to maintain her reputation.

You have to listen to your second brother.

at the same time.

Wei Zheng laughed loudly and said, "Haha, good, Your Majesty, I have been walking for quite some time and my throat must be burning. Let me moisten my throat first."

Compared with Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui, he can drink much better and likes wine very much.

He excitedly picked up the wine jar and started pouring wine for everyone.

Zhang Sun Wuji and Du Ruhui's expressions changed slightly, and the corners of their eyes trembled.

at this time.

How could they, being such smart people, not know what His Majesty is planning?

but…….
Now that the decision has been made, we have to stick to it.

Everyone had a full bowl.

The aroma of wine overflows.

The wine foamed everywhere.

"Good wine, good wine!"

"As soon as I smell this wine, I know it's good!"

"Hahaha!"

Wei Zheng was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

"It's really good, strong and fragrant!" Li Shimin looked at the wine in the bowl and had to admit that the wine was really good.

Before I even drink it, the aroma of the wine keeps rushing into my nose. The taste is simply amazing!
Was this also brewed by that brat?

Good boy….
What an all-rounder!
Li Shimin took a deep breath, picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come on, everyone. Let's drink this bowl of wine first, and then we'll have dinner. This time, the Wangyun Inn is worth the trip. Haha... I really waited too long and didn't see anything!"

"Heroes have always emerged from youth. This is true, true! Come on, come on, let's drink. I don't need to drink first, right? Come on, let's drink together!"

Li Shimin was extremely generous.

Wei Zheng held a wine bowl and watched Li Shimin, Du Ruhui and Zhangsun Wuji fooling around with a smile on his face.

He knew very well that Li Shimin, Du Ruhui and Zhangsun Wuji were not just monarchs and subjects, but actually friends, friends for life and death, and lifelong buddies.

Going through thick and thin together, what they had was more than just the relationship between a ruler and his subjects.

"drink!"

Wei Zheng was excited and roared.

Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui took a deep breath, knowing that now was the time and they had no choice but to drink.

Four people, holding wine bowls, raised their heads and drank them all in one gulp.

But the next moment, the wine was not even swallowed! !

"puff!"

Four voices sounded almost simultaneously, as unisoned as when they were drinking together.

They sprayed in different directions.

A cloud of alcohol suddenly rose.

The aroma of wine was everywhere.

This scene immediately frightened Xiao Sizi.

He immediately dodged backwards.

Ah this….
What's going on!

Little Sizi was a little confused.

One bowl of wine may seem like a lot, but the adorable girl knows that in the past at family banquets, her father would drink three bowls at a time without any problem.

But now, what's going on?
"Father, are you okay?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Sizi stepped forward and patted the shoulder of Li Shimin who was scolding him fiercely.

I heard from my second brother that patting the shoulder like this is the best way to treat someone who has vomited.

"Water, water, water, little Sizi, give... give father some water. This wine is so spicy, so spicy!"

Li Shimin stuck out his tongue and his face turned red.

"Okay, Father, I'll get you some water."

Xiao Sizi picked up the sour plum juice next to him and handed it over.

Li Shimin grabbed the sour plum juice and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking a glass of sour plum juice, he felt a lot better in his stomach.

“No…No, no, no, Cai…Cai Cai!!”

Wei Zheng, who always had an amazing alcohol tolerance, could not control his distorted facial features at all. He opened his mouth wide, picked up the hot pot dishes on the plate with chopsticks and started eating.

“Hu…Hu…”

As for Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui and the other two, they were unable to speak. They stuck out their tongues, drank their respective sour plum juices, then picked up the plates and started eating without caring what was in them.

Little Sizi looked at it and scratched his ears.

What happened to my father and the others?
Although I don't know what's going on, they all seem to want water, and now that the sour plum juice is finished, it seems like there is red soup in the hot pot.

"Father, wait a minute. Sizi will pour you some soup."

Little Sizi took a spoon and filled each of them with a bowl of red oil soup.

Li Shimin closed his eyes tightly.

After a long while, I finally felt much better.

But my head was still dizzy and my eyeballs felt a little hot.

At this time, the soup in the bowl was almost done. After all, this was an ice house with cool temperatures. Once the hot pot soup came out, it would easily get cold without the continuous cooking over charcoal fire.

Li Shimin drank it in one gulp.

But his face suddenly froze, his eyes fixed on Xiao Sizi.

Xiao Sizi didn't quite understand.

But then, Li Shimin gave Xiao Sizi a thumbs up.

Suddenly, Xiao Sizi felt sweet in his heart. The feeling of being affirmed by others was very comfortable.

When Wei Zheng and the other three saw it, they didn't hesitate at all. They each picked up their bowls and drank it down in big gulps.

"puff…."

At this time, Li Shimin's red oil soup was getting stronger and he couldn't help but spit it all out in one gulp.

“Cough cough cough….cough cough cough…”

He just stood up and ran out.

Coughing like crazy.

flushed.

His eyes were red.

"This, this soup is poisonous!"

"Something's wrong with my throat...my throat..."

"It's poisonous, spicy... so spicy it's killing me!!"

The next moment, Changsun Wuji and the other two stood up and rushed out.

They all drank a lot of this soup.

After all, it was no longer hot and was extremely mild, but the moment I swallowed it, the taste completely exploded.

terror!
Blast!

It exploded in the mouth uncontrollably like a volcanic eruption.

Little Sizi was terrified.

What is going on here?

The series of misfortunes made her feel much less hungry.

She looked at the soup, at a loss.

I also quickly followed him out.

outside.

When little Sizi saw Li Shimin and others holding a water jar, he wished he could bury his head in it.

The old man and Li Junxian were talking, and they were standing aside at this moment, both with confused looks on their faces.

Neither of them went into the house, but moved a small stool to the side, set up a small hot pot, and talked while eating.

but.

Suddenly, the ice room seemed to explode.

Li Shimin ran out first, followed by Changsun Wuji and the other two who also ran out frantically, holding water jars and drinking water.

What's going on? Is this?

stunned!

Dumbfounded!

puzzled!

"Your Majesty, Zhangsun Pushe, what happened to you?"

Li Junxian was really helpless and just stood by, unable to help at all.

"Sizi knew that Father and the others had been drinking wine and wanted to drink water, so Sizi gave them red soup, and they drank it and ran out."

Xiao Sizi raised his hand to answer.

soup?
What's happening here.

Li Junxian was extremely surprised.

We had hotpot today, where did the soup come from?

Could it be hot pot soup?
But he just had a sip of the hotpot soup, was it necessary to drink so much?
However, when the old man next to him heard this, his face changed slightly and he instantly understood what was going on.

To entertain His Majesty.

He went to the warehouse specifically to get many ingredients that were not given to Wangyun Inn, the most precious of which was the chili pepper.

Even in Wangyun Inn, the stock of chili peppers is limited, so use as little as possible.

It was a rare occasion today for His Majesty and His Highness Little Sizi to come to eat, and the old man thought he could not neglect them, so he took out the millet peppers to make the soup base.

The peppers at Wangyun Inn are not spicy enough, at most they are just milky. This millet pepper is the authentic one.

I served the best peppers, but I didn't expect such a disaster to happen.

I quickly rushed over with the sour plum juice in my hand.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, here is some sour plum juice, have some."

"Changsun Pushe, Wei Zhongshu, and Prime Minister Du, you all drink some too."
