My harem can't be this messy

Chapter 521 Banquet
This daughter country exists and serves only one person, that is Emperor Tang.

At this time, Li Zhi had already walked to his position, which was on the left hand side of his father, queen and empress. This was the east side of the venue, the place where the sun rose, which symbolized his identity.In the future, I will be like the rising sun in the east.

Just as Li Zhi sat down, the queen mother had already walked over with her father's hand, and the officials stood up and bowed down to worship, and Li Zhi was no exception.

The sound of shouting long live was endless, Tang Huang waved his hand, and everyone took their seats.

Look, this is the majesty of the king of a country, and Li Zhi is very envious.

Sitting in that position, you can have whatever you want, whether it is wealth, women, land or others, you have everything you want.

"Your Highness, today's dishes are not bad."

"Yeah, Yan'er, come, try this. These are the cucumbers that were just delivered from Lishan Mountain. They were picked this morning and brought here quickly."

"Cucumbers grow in winter?"

Zheng Shuang sat there and asked, obviously in Xingyang, you can't eat green vegetables in winter.In this era, there may be plastic and glass, and naturally there will be no greenhouses.

"Lishan grows there, and there are many hot springs and geothermal heat. Irrigate with hot spring water, and you can eat vegetables in winter."

"You have to taste that Shuang'er!"

Li Zhi picked up a piece of cucumber with his chopsticks and fed it to Zheng Shuang. Several people around him also urged the prince to feed him. These pieces of cucumber were all snatched away.Is this everyone's lady or a female bandit!

It was her own concubine who was a well-behaved princess, who took a piece and put it into the mouth of the prince.

Of course, cucumbers are not the main course of tonight's New Year's Eve banquet. When the shiny and browned roast ducks were brought to the venue, the princes and princesses who had already eaten them made tsk clicks.

Apparently, the roast duck sent by Prince Jin's Mansion made them still remember the taste at this time, and they couldn't forget it.

When the roast duck was delivered to Li Zhi, Li Zhi took a knife and cut a few slices. There was a baked pancake next to it, filled with duck meat and shredded cucumber, and some sweet sauce. Only after such a roll, could the roast duck be eaten later. a feeling of.This sweet sauce was specially made by Li Zhi's chef in Prince Jin's Mansion. It can be said to be the finishing touch to eating roast duck.

Seeing the prince eating like this, several women around followed suit one after another, saying that it was delicious.The surrounding concubines, princes, princesses and ministers also followed suit at this time.

"Ah! I thought the noodles were for satisfying my hunger, but it turns out they are rolled with duck meat and cucumber."

After a while, the duck blood pork came up, some ministers couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear, and some young ladies no longer cared about their daughter's image, and usually smiled without showing their teeth, but now the big white teeth gnawed on the bones, and they gnawed loudly.The side of the small mouth of the cherry is already covered with grease, which is not like a lady of the big family.

"Your Majesty, what kind of meat is this that tastes so good?"

Some ministers were already so greedy that they couldn't bear to ask.There are also a lot of foodies in the Tang Dynasty. There is no way, the Huaxia of later generations is a real foodie country, isn't it just inherited from the ancestors from generation to generation.

"Prince, please explain to the ministers, princes and nobles."

Li Zhi quickly swallowed a piece of pork in his mouth and got up.

"Everyone, this is pork."

"pork!"

Immediately, there was a commotion in the banquet hall that night. Li Zhi saw with his own eyes that several ladies and gentlemen wanted to spit out the meat in their mouths, but in the end they were unwilling.

In Datang, pork is not the meat eaten by the upper classes, but mutton is.As for beef, in the feudal era, it was rare to eat beef. Like the rhetoric of a bottle of soju and two catties of beef in TV movies, it may be that in some eras, one would have to go to the prison to eat for a few days.

Why, cattle are the productivity of this era!It's not that you can't eat it at all, but it's hard to eat.

"Your Highness, are you kidding us that pork can be so delicious?"

"Everyone, how can I joke with you ministers! This is indeed pork. The sows selected for spring feeding are fresh and tender. They have not been raised for a full year, and they grew up eating more omnivores."

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he had already sat down, and there was still a lot of discussion here at the venue.

Pork was served for the first time at the Royal Banquet, and it was clear that the taste of pork had conquered many people's taste buds.

It is obviously not difficult for pork to become popular at the top of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Li Zhi was eating a pork rib at this time, and this rib meat was the most delicious.

"Your Highness, what is this?"

"That's mutton, Mr. Tang has never eaten mutton, has he?"

"I eat it often, but I always feel that the taste is wrong. It tastes much better than the mutton that I usually eat in Fuchu."

"My lords, when this mutton is made, the mutton is specially removed, so the taste is different from before. If you want to learn it, you can ask the cooks at home to learn it at the Prince Jin's Mansion."

"Oh, I almost forgot, I'm going to live in the East Palace, so my lords will bring people to the East Palace, and I will let the cook of the East Palace teach me."

Li Zhi didn't expect that someone would look for him after the banquet said this, and after the banquet ended that night.

That person was accompanied by Yun Xi, so he probably felt too embarrassed to come to Li Zhi by himself.Girls are always low-faced, but they are all servants in the palace, so they don't have to be so low-faced.

After the two joined hands and left the arena, they were about to rush back to the Prince Jin's mansion. The two bowed to Li Zhi. Li Zhi had already greeted him and helped his elder sister Yunxi to get up.

Looking at the woman next to him, Li Zhi also helped him up, and saw that she and Yun Xi were standing together, like a pair of standard sisters.

"Yun Xi, who is she?"

"Your Highness, she is Shangshi in the palace, and she came here specially today to learn some cooking methods from His Highness."

"Food?"

"Your Highness, just like Yun Xi, the manager of Shangshi Bureau."

"This palace naturally knows, but Shangshi in this palace doesn't smell of fireworks at all."

As Li Zhi said, he pinched a lock of Shang Shi's long hair with his hand, and sniffed it at the tip of his nose.

"Only the fragrance of daughters, no fireworks, not at all like Shangshi who walks around the Shangshi Bureau all day long."

"Your Highness, Ding Yu knew that he wanted to see His Highness, so she came here after taking a bath, so there is no smoke on her body."

"Oh, that's right. Your name is Dingyu. Alright, when Ben Gong lives in the East Palace, you come to the East Palace to find Ben Gong."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Li Zhi got on the carriage, the wheels were rolling, and he was already heading towards the Prince Jin's Mansion.

Jinwang Mansion has been extremely busy these past few days, but the court hall has been exceptionally clean. The Liangyi Hall, where the morning court is held on weekdays, is rarely peaceful. During the Chinese New Year, the courtiers rested and had a family reunion. They stayed at home with their wives and concubines.

Li Zhi was sitting in the Lizheng Hall right now, busy as he was, but he would not let His Royal Highness move things.

At this time the crown prince was sitting here, and Shang Yi Yunxi had already led Shangshi Dingyu to the Lizheng Hall.

Far away, the two bowed, and Li Zhi raised his hand to let the maids of the Eastern Palace who were serving here retreat.

"His Royal Highness, can Dingyu come to the East Palace to learn cooking skills in his free time these few days?"
