My wife is number one in the world

"Your Majesty, I made this hot pot. No one knows how to use it except me. Please give me a chance to dedicate myself."

"Since Liu Aiqing has such a strong heart, it's up to you to prepare."

"Jiang He, bring in the ingredients prepared in the box."

The reason for preparing these is that Young Master Liu adheres to the principle of cannibalism. When the time comes to discuss the coal business, the emperor should not be straightforward and directly veto it.

After all, eating and drinking is easy to do.

A group of people looked at Young Master Liu who was so busy, all of them looked strange. The majestic lord condescended to do such a thing. He was really a lord who behaved abnormally.

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

A weird aroma that is different from all the food I have seen before emanates from the weird copper pot in front of me.

Since there is no such crop as pepper in Dalong now, if you want to satisfy the most original taste of hot pot, you can only use other things to replace it to enhance the taste.

If you don’t have chili peppers, use dogwood instead, put Chinese prickly ash and sesame peppers in it desperately, and fill the bottom of the pot with all kinds of spices without money. Liu Mingzhi is determined to make a perfect hot pot.

The fire under the copper pot was steaming, the bottom material in the pot was boiling, and the fragrance was strong. After everything was settled, Young Master Liu was in a dilemma after setting up the chairs. The chairs placed around the hot pot can only seat six people at most, but there are enough seats for the prince and concubines. More than a dozen, typical wolves have more meat and less meat.

Letting anyone sit or not letting anyone sit is a matter of offending people.

Looking at the emperor hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I never expected so many empresses to come to the imperial study today. There are only six chairs at the moment. Your Majesty will arrange for the empress to sit down and eat!"

"What? I want to share the meal with all my concubines? According to the rules in the palace, when I eat, there is only one table for one person."

With a muffled snort, Young Master Liu really wanted to slap himself, to make you talk more, to make you talk too much. It was not a problem, but something happened. It's a headache.

"Your Majesty, hot pot requires several people to get together to eat and chat to experience its perfection. Eating hot pot alone will be boring."

Although he didn't want to say this, Liu Mingzhi had nothing to do. If the prince didn't sit down and eat and drink together, it would be convenient to talk about the coal issue.

Liu Mingzhi only said that he would give the prince 1000 million taels of silver, but he did not say that the 1000 million taels of silver were paid with the profits from the coal business.

The emperor wouldn't think it was the young master who wanted to use his family's money to donate to the prince, would he?I can't be crazy, and that's not how prodigals play.

Li Zheng looked at First Young Master Liu closely: "In this case, queen, the crown prince stays, and all concubines step down first."

"His Majesty.........."

Li Zhenghu glared at the concubines and immediately stopped their drums: "The concubine will resign."

"Chen and concubine retire."

Looking at a group of concubines who looked reluctant but had to leave in a huff, First Young Master Liu felt trembling in his heart, this account won't be on my head.

But it's not me who told you to leave, if I had known all of you pussies were flocking here, I would definitely have prepared more hot pot.

Li Zheng looked at the stacks of raw meat in front of him in embarrassment: "Liu Aiqing, you don't intend to let me and the queen eat these raw foods, do you?"

"Your Majesty, you just need to use your chopsticks to put the food in the pot and cook for a while before you can eat it. I'm here to serve the meat to Your Majesty."

The queen was more relaxed, after all, she had been married to the emperor for many years, so naturally there was no pressure.

It's different for the crown prince. Since he can remember, he has never had the impression of eating at the same table as his father, so it's inevitable that he can't let go.

"Your Majesty, it's ready to eat."

Seeing the food that had been floating up, Young Master Liu immediately picked it up and put it in the jade bowl in front of Li Zheng.

Li Zheng swallowed his saliva looking at the oily and fragrant meat slices. Although the way of eating was weird, he had to say that the smell of the food in front of him hooked the glutton in Li Zheng's stomach.

Zhou Fei originally wanted to test the poison but was stopped by Li Zheng's eyes. He gently picked up the meat piece and put it in his mouth to chew: "En?"

The emperor frowned, and the people around immediately became nervous, staring at First Young Master Liu with serious expressions.

"It's delicious, spicy, fragrant, strong in taste, and rich in aroma. It feels like sweating on the forehead when you eat it in your mouth. The fire is steaming. Hot pot, hot pot really lives up to its name."

"It's good that His Majesty is satisfied." Liu Mingzhi wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, but he was made nervous by the emperor's surprise, for fear that the emperor would blame himself for dissatisfaction.

"Queen, prince, you can eat too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Father."

Young Master Liu was not lucky enough to eat together at the table, so he could only keep putting food into the pot.

The emperor and the prince were sweating profusely from eating, and they couldn't stop exhaling. If there was wine, I'm afraid they would eat more. Sweat broke out.

"Liu Aiqing, this piece of meat is extremely strong, fresh and delicious. What kind of meat is it? I feel a little familiar, but I can't tell. I am completely conquered by this spicy."

"Your Majesty is really amazing. This is a strong bull that I have just slaughtered. The taste is quite authentic. All the meat that I choose is the best tendon meat to send to Your Majesty."

Li Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "So it's beef, no wonder I feel..." Li Zheng's words stopped abruptly, and the movement of chewing food in his mouth also stopped, looking at Young Master Liu in a daze: "beef?"

The queen and the crown prince also stopped, looked at the sliced ​​meat on top with blank expressions, then swallowed their saliva, and looked at First Young Master Liu strangely.

Seeing the expressions of the three members of Li Zheng's family, Young Master Liu realized, "Oh my god, I slipped my tongue. Dalong, like any dynasty in ancient times, forbids the slaughter of cattle because of low productivity.

A steer is the life of an ordinary family, even if the ox has to be killed for some reason, it must be reported to the government.

"Hmm." Li Zheng resentfully put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands: "Liu Aiqing sit down and eat something together."

"Ah?" Liu Mingzhi couldn't figure out why the emperor asked him to sit down and eat something, shouldn't he scold him loudly?

"I dare not, how can I eat at the same table with His Majesty?"

"Let you sit and sit, and you will taste the fruits of your hard work."

"Yes."

"Eat." Li Zheng said one word calmly.

Swallowing his saliva, Liu Mingzhi tremblingly put a piece of beef into his mouth under the gaze of the three of them, oh my god, it's simply delicious.

The three of them were obviously relieved to see Liu Mingzhi eat a piece of beef, but it was a pity that Young Master Liu was so immersed in the deliciousness that he couldn't extricate himself from it, so he didn't notice it.

"Prince, tell Liu Aiqing about the Great Dragon Law set by the late emperor, what is the crime of killing cattle and eating meat?"

First Young Master Liu was taken aback, and stared blankly at Li Zheng who was sitting there, no, why didn't I talk about the law until after I ate the meat?

The prince sighed: "According to the laws of the first emperor, Dalong, whoever kills a steer will be exiled for three thousand miles, and whoever eats a steer will be punished with fifty sticks, from the princes and ministers to the common people, without exception."

With a muffled snort, Young Master Liu put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and finally understood why the emperor insisted on eating a piece of beef by himself, three thousand miles, fifty big boards, it must be too hard to play.
