I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

The sacrificial offering was carried out in a rigorous manner.

Li Shimin became more and more aware of the sluggishness of his body, which became worse every year. During the winter solstice last year, his movements were not so clumsy.

Hmm...maybe it's a matter of being colder this year?

When the sacrifice was over, the dishes on the table were already covered with a layer of frost, and the dishes were cold, which made Li Shimin sigh - it is really difficult to have a fresh and hot meal.

The ministers gathered around, waiting for His Majesty to reward the sacrificial offerings.

Most people's eyes fell on the dish.

They were all very interested in the new super delicacies of Tongfu Restaurant, but the price was too expensive, costing [-] guan, most of them couldn't afford it.

For example, Cheng Yaojin and the others can afford it, but they haven't found a suitable opportunity to eat it for a while-they want to find an opportunity when Li Yuan and Li Shimin are not around.

Otherwise, the fish ball would definitely be taken away by these two people.

Why don't you think in reverse and find a chance when both of them are there, maybe while they are arguing about who will eat that fish ball, you can take advantage of the fire and take advantage of the chaos?
Let's continue to think about it after the sacrifice is over.

The matter at the moment is to eat this dish.

Li Shimin was still silent.

The officials thumped in their hearts, His Majesty would... only share other things, this dish is not going to be divided, no way...

Li Shimin really had such an idea, but he turned around and gave up. Although the world belongs to the Li Tang royal family, but...you can't eat all the meat by yourself.

If there were no officials in the court, where would the territory of the Tang Dynasty come from?

Li Shimin is an emperor.

He took the knife himself, and cut it piece by piece. For Cheng Yaojin, he cut the meat slices from the Lu country area, put them on a small plate, and the eunuch presented it to him.

For Fang Xuanling, cut off slices of meat from the Xing country area.

The county magistrate gave it to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate gave it to the county magistrate, and those county men and magistrates were allotted a very pitiful amount, with only a little bit of meat on a plate.

As for those without titles, Li Shimin gave them the land that was not awarded in the territory according to their rank.

It's just... After everyone gets a share, there is still a lot left in Datang's territory.

Juzhou, Turks, the Western Regions, and two isolated islands overseas.

These officials are no strangers to the parts of the remaining dishes, and they can see them at a glance.Some are now the territory of Datang, and some will be the territory of Datang in the future.

These leftovers accounted for about one-third of the dish.

Let the officials a little greedy.

Li Shimin cleared his throat, and said softly: "The remaining dishes, I plan to reward Zhengyang Gong. The expansion of the Tang Dynasty to the present state is due to Zhengyang Gong's contribution."

Saying that, he waved his hand.

The officials on the side carefully put the remaining vegetables into the food box.

Officials of low rank naturally took Li Shimin's words seriously, but old foxes like Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin unconsciously showed some contempt in their eyes.

This is for the store?

If the shopkeeper wants to eat it himself, do you still need it?It's still this kind of leftovers, with the temper of the shopkeeper, it is estimated that he can't move a chopstick.

It's clear that I want to eat it, so I cleverly set up a name and cut it off.

Report to the store when you go back!

Weng and son-in-law's matter, see how to solve it.

Li Shimin also had a small plate in his hand, which contained the fish ball representing Chang'an and a piece of meat representing Chang'an.

His hands were steady, and he used chopsticks, but he picked up the fish balls and stuffed them into his mouth.

The dish has been frozen, the temperature in the mouth gradually melts the frost, and the taste inside slowly spreads - seafood has a problem.

It means nothing when alive.

But when it's dead, even if it's done, if it's left on for too long, the stench can break through the sky.

But this recipe doesn't have that problem.

There is no fishy smell in the mouth of the fish ball, and it tastes cold even when it is frozen. Li Shimin chewed it repeatedly, greedy for the fat in his mouth.

Cold food is so delicious, if it is hot... how delicious it should be.

When the other officials saw Li Shimin speak, they naturally moved their chopsticks too.

It is rare for a group of officials to eat in this icy and snowy place. This is an unprecedented sight-who would eat the food rewarded by His Majesty on the spot.

This time is different.

This time it's not only edible, but delicious.

They had been freezing all morning, and most of them hadn't had breakfast yet. Now that they could eat a few mouthfuls of cold food, it would be good to comfort their stomachs.

As Cheng Yaojin finally finished the meat on the plate slowly, the sacrifice also came to an end.

Everyone dispersed.

Cheng Yaojin and the others got into the carriage, held the small incense burner, warmed up, and at the same time told the coachman to go to Tongfu Restaurant, so that they can eat something good today and reward themselves.

When we arrived at the restaurant, the noon guests had just dispersed.

Yin Xuan was resting on the bed.

Cheng Yaojin walked over carelessly, and patted the table: "Shopkeeper, are you resting?"

Yin Xuan half-opened his eyes and glanced at him, then said softly: "Hey, are you free today?"

"Shopkeeper, I have some good news for you." Cheng Yaojin took the menu from Di Renjie, looked at it, and decided what he wanted to eat.

Yin Xuan nodded, holding his own teapot, and said lazily: "Say."

"Today's Winter Solstice Festival, the imperial court gave you some food from the store, and asked your father-in-law to bring it to you." Cheng Yaojin played evil tricks, although he held back, his tone was still full of joy, and he couldn't help but laugh. The smile that popped out.

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Fang Xuanling was at the side, and took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Speaking of it, it's really enviable. Duke Zhengyang is really valued by the court."

"The food that the imperial court asked your father-in-law to bring to you accounted for one-third of the total food, and the rest of the officials added up to double your share."

Yin Xuan raised his eyebrows again.

What are these two little old men doing to fan the flames?
They winked and praised Yin Xuan to the sky. They kept saying "Your father-in-law will bring you food from the court". They wished they could carve these words on their faces and show them to Yin Xuan.

until……

Ten minutes later, Li Shimin walked in slowly from the door.

Yin Xuan sat up straight and waved at him: "My father-in-law, why are you here? We happened to be talking about you."

Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin froze, looking at Yin Xuan in surprise.

Lord Zhengyang!
Shopkeeper!

what happened!

The two of us have hinted for so long, don't you understand our hint?We want you to bully Your Majesty, why... just sell us out?
